Chapter 324 The First Huns
The next morning, Liaodong issued a list of people. Because many people were illiterate, there was a scholar there explaining to the people next to the list.
Through the explanation, the people learned that Liaodong was going to fight, but now they lack food and want to collect food and grass from the people.
"There is a war again? This time it seems to be the ethnic minorities in the north!"
"Yes, do you think we can win?"
"Then you need to say that our Liaodong Army is invincible!"
"Yes, of course, look at the fact that before, he defeated Gongsun Zan, retreated Yuan Shao, and defeated the 250,000 coalition forces of the eastern countries. Our Liaodong army's record is, who can match the entire Han Dynasty?"
"Yes, of course, the Liaodong Army will win!"
"Tell me about you. Since everyone says that Liaodong County will win, why don't you go home and prepare the remaining grain? Anyway, Mr. Zhao has said that after the bumper harvest next year, you will compensate for double portions!"
"That's right, I can trust Mr. Zhao. Besides, if it weren't for Mr. Zhao, I would have starved to death. How could I still have a house, land, and surplus grain like now? I won't tell you anymore, I'll go back and bring all the food in my home!"
"Yes, yes, let's go back and prepare the remaining grain!"
...
For a time, the people went home one after another and took out all the food in their homes, leaving only the family to eat large amounts of food by the end of the year. All the rest were sent to the prefect's mansion, one or two stones for the most, and one or two hu of the less, little by little, and the accumulation of little by little. Soon, the front and back yards of the prefect's mansion were occupied by the grain and grass piled up in mountains!
"If one side is in trouble, all sides will support you! Alas!" Zhao Feng stood in the backyard, looking at the little bits of accumulated food, and felt a lot of emotion.
"Brother Feng, you must not let down the expectations of the people in the city!" Bian Xue said softly behind Zhao Feng.
"Yes, no matter who is doing this, I must make the invader pay the price!" Zhao Feng's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness!
Bian Xue didn't say anything, but just stayed by Zhao Feng's side, quietly accompanying him.
The food and grass were enough, and it was several times more than Zhao Feng expected. So, early in the morning, Zhao Feng sent Guan Yu, Ma Chao and Pang De as military advisors to Ju Su and Shen Pei, leading 40,000 cavalry in Xiliang, 10,000 guard camps, 10,000 heavy cavalry, and a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses all the way northward, rushing towards the Danhan Mountain where Ke Bineng was.
...
At the same time, on the grassland, a remnant army was quickly evacuating the south, and less than a hundred miles behind it, another team of cavalry was chasing the remnant army.
"Khan, what should we do?" Immediately, the deputy general asked Ke Bineng.
"The war report has been sent to the lord, right? All we can do now is escape!" Ke Bi Neng sighed, "Damn the Huns! One day, I will definitely chop off the heads of Qiangqu with my own hands!"
"Well, the information has been sent for many days. I think the lord should have received it!" The deputy general nodded. After the last incident, the deputy general sincerely admired Ke Bineng's great wisdom in his heart. If his Xianbei army also opposed Zhao Feng when the coalition forces of the nations attacked Liaodong, then the Xianbei army would probably not exist now, right? The deputy general saw with his own eyes the powerful combat power of the Liaodong soldiers, especially the cavalrymen in black armor and black robe, which was particularly terrifying!
Moreover, after the Liaodong army defeated the coalition forces of the various countries, the Xianbei got too many benefits. The winter stove and coal cakes were all provided by Zhao Feng for free. Moreover, Zhao Feng also sent Xu Rong to help Ke Bi Neng train troops. If it were changed before, Zhao Feng said that he would send someone to train troops for him in Xianbei. Whether it was Ke Bi Neng or his deputy general, they would be disdainful. They knew very well how powerful the Xianbei cavalry was!
But now, they are convinced by the Liaodong army. With such a despicable combat power, the entire Han Dynasty cannot find several such troops, and the Liaodong army is like this! How terrible!
Therefore, Zhao Feng sent Xu Rong to train troops, and both Ke Bineng and his deputy general welcomed him from the bottom of their hearts. They also had another common expectation in their hearts, hoping that the combat power of the Xianbei cavalry could be improved!
However, the fact is cruel. Within a few days of training, Ke Bineng's army was attacked from front and back, and suffered heavy losses. Originally, more than 50,000 cavalrymen broke through the encirclement!
"Oh, I just hope that the lord can send troops to help now!" Ke Bi Neng sighed, and then said a little hatefully, "I am really dissatisfied with the defeat to the Huns!"
"Don't worry, the lord will definitely send troops to provide assistance as quickly as possible. All we need to do now is to go south to meet with the reinforcements!" Xu Rong interrupted.
"Well, we must believe in the lord! Drive!" Kebineng waved his horse whip and speeded up his horse.
A hundred miles behind him, the person who led the team was Kuban, the Hun general. Kuban was more than nine feet tall and good at using a giant axe. He was the most powerful general of the Huns. He was shockingly powerful. Xu Rong was once knocked away by an axe. If Kebi had not been able to rescue him in time, Xu Rong would have died on the spot!
"Chasing! Damn it, it runs faster than a rabbit!" Cuban cursed, clamping his legs, and the horse under his crotch accelerated. Speaking of the horse under Kuban, it was not an ordinary person. Kuban was more than nine feet tall, had thick limbs, and a giant axe. I'm afraid there were only 500 or 300 pounds in total!
At the beginning, Cuban couldn't choose the right horse at all. It was the same for ordinary horses. As soon as Cuban got on the horse, the war horse could not withstand the weight and was pressed to the ground!
Until later, a tall horse suddenly appeared on the grassland where the Huns herd horses. This horse was much taller than an ordinary war horse. Although it was a war horse, it could fight against the wolf and defeat the wolves that attacked the horses! Because of this, all the war horses of the Huns seemed to regard it as the horse king!
When Cuban discovered this, he immediately fought with the horse and tried to conquer the horse. However, what is ridiculous is that the first time, Cuban was defeated because of underestimating the enemy. It was not until Cuban seriously faced the enemy and then he tied with it.
A war of horses lasted for three days and three nights. In the end, the horse chose to admit defeat and let Cuban treat it as a mount. However, Cuban could not disobey its intentions! Once it violated, the horse king would not allow Cuban to ride, which made Cuban really have no choice but to use the horse king's temperament. Who made it so difficult to find a horse that could carry him?
