Straight man of steel

Chapter 400
Originally, this year should be the sixth year of Yuanguang.

But Liu Che changed his reign name before winter came.

The year name Yuan Shuo appeared in front of people's eyes one year in advance.

Zhang Yuan reckoned that this should be regarded as the biggest change since he traveled through time.

Zhang Yuan participated more or less in those things that did not develop according to the historical trend earlier.

But changing the year name has nothing to do with Zhang Yuan.

No matter what, Liu Che changed the year name.

Zhang Yuan didn't understand what it meant, but Zhang Yuan knew that war was coming.

On the first spring day after changing the year name, Liu Che held a grand military parade outside Chang'an City.

After finishing the work, Wei Qing headed northward with a mighty army.

Apart from keeping some people in Kucha City to wait for Li Guang and the others, Zhang Yuan led a group of Taixue students to go northeast to Yanmen County to wait for Wei Qing.

Liu Che gave official positions to all the surviving Taixue students, and there were no particularly high or bad ones.

In short, none of the official positions of one thousand shi promised by Zhang Yuan to the students were realized, but there were quite a few official positions of six hundred shi.

There are no surprises and no disappointments, which is fine.

In fact, if they were granted a thousand stones by the chief minister Sima or something, there must be voices of dissatisfaction in the army everywhere.

Yan Yi and Wang Qing were taken directly by Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan is now a well-known general anyway.

General Ranger.

It sounds like he is only one word away from General Hussars, but his status is very different.

But it still made the students very excited. In this era when generals were not always on hand, just having a miscellaneous number made these young people's blood boil.

Wei Qing led the cavalry to reach the northernmost point of Yanmen County.

It is said that the north side is actually the seat of the captain of the western part of Yanmen County.

This place is outside the Great Wall, and it is relatively close to Yinshan Mountain.

The name of this western capital city is Woyang City.

He was often attacked by the Huns, so Zhuang Bufan's troubles were completely gone here.

There is another strange phenomenon.

The county guard and prefect can lead troops out of the city to chase the Huns, but these captains do not have this power.

In this way, officials who seem to be the same as two thousand shi, civil servants are more reassuring to the emperor than military officials.

Wei Qing and the others set off in spring, and Zhang Yuan also set off in spring, a full seven days earlier than Wei Qing and the others.

The agreed war period is the first day of the second month of spring.

About seven days in advance of this day, the envoy team serving as bait will set off from Kucha City first.

At this time, the [-] infantry led by Li Guang and Gongsun He had not yet entered Shangjun.

They had to go straight out of the Great Wall all the way without any rest time in order to keep the wind from leaking out.

On the first day of February, Wei Qing led the cavalry from Yanmen County to the west and arrived at Gaoque in the shortest time, breaking the connection between Loufan King Aries and the Xiongnu Shanyu.

Probably at this time, Li Guang and the others also exchanged fire with the Huns.

When the Huns realized that they could not defeat the Han army, they would flee north, but at this time there was no way out.

A circle of encirclement has been formed.

No accident happened, Zhang Yuan's plan was perfect.

After waiting for many days, Wei Qing finally came.

Zhang Yuan was still a little excited.

Because Wei Qing also brought a pair of armor to Zhang Yuan.

As the armor of the Ranger General.

This row is full of faces.

"Young brother, I think it's interesting to wear this armor."

"Haha, Brother Yuan, when you put on this armor, you walk with wind."

"Are you trying to say that tigers are wild?"

"That's right, that's what it means!"

"The war is coming, do we have to do something?"

Zhang Yuan made almost all the plans by himself, and now he is most worried.

"Attract the attention of the Great Chanyu of the Huns, distract the attention of King Loufan and King Aries, and lower their vigilance!"

"This is what I want to say. Now that you are a former general, we have no constraints. What do you want to do?"

"Shall we go north for a play?"

Wei Qing seldom used this word, which meant that he didn't want to fight the Xiongnu Da Shanyu at all, but just wanted to lower the vigilance of King Lou Fan and King Aries.

"Send a cavalry to find a Hun tribe in the north or northeast. We will kill them all and let the military officials know that we are coming!"

Zhang Yuan felt that since it took so long to send troops, it would be a waste of food and grass to make a false shot.

"Yes, but who does Brother Yuan think is suitable to lead a cavalry army?"

This is a difficult problem that cannot be overcome.

When Wei Qing asked this question, Zhang Yuan started to have a headache.

Why is there no one who can be used under his hands.

"I don't know how strong those generals are, or else, Young Brother, you will lead [-] cavalry north with the banner of the former general.

I asked Yan Yi and Wang Qing to follow you. The two of them can already tell the direction easily, and you won't get lost when you reach the grassland. "

Wei Qing didn't want to go, he was the coach and it was his duty to sit on the side.

This time, Zhang Yuan's plan positioned Wei Qing as a surprise soldier rather than a main force, in order to make Li Guang and those veterans obedient, so Wei Qing and Liu Che could accept it.

But letting Wei Qing ignore the other [-] cavalry and lead [-] cavalry deep into the grassland is not something Wei Qing's character can do.

With Li Guang's personality, he often took such risks, but the rest of his subordinates felt uncomfortable.

You must know that there are no flying pigeons to send messages, and there are no wireless mobile phones. When you reach the grassland, you are really cut off from contact.

The coach cut off contact?Isn't it just a joke!
"Brother Yuan, why don't you take Su Jian and Zhang Cigong together on the expedition.

We don't insist on victory, as long as the military officials feel that our target is him.

This way, brother Yuan, you don’t have to take too big a risk. "

Zhang Yuan knew that Wei Qing's suggestion was the most reasonable, but the small risk did not mean that there was no risk.

"If there is no other way, then this is the only way!

I am willing to lead an army on an expedition! "

Wei Qing is a former general, Zhang Yuan can't always teach Wei Qing how to do things.

Sometimes you have to support Wei Qing, because Wei Qing has been supporting Zhang Yuan. This unconditional support allows Zhang Yuan to take risks and step forward at this time.

"Brother Yuan, if you don't want to, you can actually send Su Jian or Zhang Cigong."

"I can, don't forget the armor on me, and I'm a general now!"

Zhang Yuan didn't want Wei Qing to have too much psychological burden.

So put on a very relaxed posture.

Just do it.

Let the army rest up for a day, Zhang Yuan led [-] troops the next day, and took Yan Yi, Wang Qing, Su Jian, and Zhang Cigong out of Woyang City and headed north.

In fact, there is a place where the Huns gathered in the north of Yanmen County.

It is said that the Huns are actually more ghost slaves.

The people under Han Wangxin built a city on the grassland, named Tuidang City.

Zhang Yuan's goal is here, which is close enough to Yanmen County, and it is also the settlement of the Huns.

After the fight, run fast for a day and you will be able to return to Woyang City.

"Teacher, you said that we only bring [-] cavalry, what if we encounter the main force of the Huns?"

Wang Qing started the 1 why mode while doing nothing on the horse.

"How did you learn it? Yan Yi, explain to Wang Qing!"

Even if he had to ask this question, Zhang Yuan directly suspected whether Wang Qing had been fishing while he was in class.

"The Xiongnu Great Shanyu's tribe still has a large army at the foot of Mount Langjuxu.

The Huns will not graze in winter, so the main army of the Huns will definitely be around their Shanyu royal court in winter.

After winter and spring comes, they will first graze around Langjuxu Mountain, and then choose to either go south to plunder, or slowly go north to graze.

At this time, it is impossible for the Xiongnu army to appear around the border of our Han Dynasty. "

Once the habits of nomads are understood, it becomes quite easy to figure out their details.

"Oh, I just didn't think about it that much."

Zhang Yuan let Yan Yi chat with Wang Qing, while he went to find Su Jian and Zhang Cigong.

If you encounter Ghost Nu and the Huns later, you will still have to rely on these two generals to fight.

Zhang Yuan can just use his crossbow to fire arrows from behind.

As long as the [-] cavalry didn't meet the main army of the Huns, they would not be afraid of anyone they met on this grassland. If they couldn't beat them, they could still run away.

"General, the Huns tribe is found ahead!"

The scouts that Zhang Yuan sent out finally brought back useful news.

"Approximately what scale?"

"About ten thousand people, the villain ran around a long distance away, most of them were women and children!"

"Should there be other Hun tribes around?"

This sentence was not asked by Zhang Yuan, but by Su Jian.

Zhang Yuan waved his hand directly.

“Impossible, the grassland is so big, there can’t be other tribes.

Unexpectedly, we encountered the Xiongnu tribe before we arrived in Tidedang City.

It is said that I will march at full speed and try to get rid of this Hun tribe before night falls! "

"Here!"

The cavalry let go of their speed, took aim at the target and rushed forward, the speed was quite fast.

About an hour later, Zhang Yuan saw the Xiongnu tribe the scout had mentioned.

It is indeed a large tribe, and it is not impossible to become king on a larger scale.

The Huns have developed very well in recent years, and the number of many tribes has increased.

To put it bluntly, the big Han and the countries in the Western Regions fattened up the Huns.

The mutual customs clearance is definitely beneficial to the aggressive country or nation, because it is powerful and unreasonable, and the trade between the two sides must be unreasonable and take advantage of it.

This also caused the population of the Xiongnu tribes close to the Han to increase, and the Han people always felt that the Huns could not be killed.

In fact, as long as the Huns are not given a chance to develop and wiped out in one wave, no matter how many Huns there are, they can be killed.

If they couldn't kill them enough, the Huns would not move northward in the face of the Han army's full-scale attack, and gave up a large piece of warmer land.

"General, attack directly, they have already found us!"

Su Jian yelled at Zhang Yuan.

[-] cavalry, a dense mass of black, the collision of horseshoes with the ground can make everyone's heart tremble, how could they not be discovered.

"A full-scale attack, brothers and sisters, all you see is our military exploits, as long as it is the Huns, no matter how old or young, women and children, they will all be killed, and the cattle and sheep will be kept and brought back to the big men!

kill!kill!kill! "

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The sky-shattering killing sound soared into the sky!
In the face of aliens, Zhang Yuan will not be soft.

Just like those Huns who were slaughtered in Dragon City back then.

The Xiongnu tribe temporarily gathered nearly [-] Huns wielding weapons, and immediately fought with the Han cavalry.

Zhang Yuan did not go down to participate in the battle, but took 100 people to find a hill to watch the changes in the battle situation.

But Yan Yi and Wang Qing had rushed to the deepest part of the Xiongnu tribe.

As Zhang Yuan said, what is in front of him is not human life but military exploits.

If all these Huns were killed by one or two people, one or two princes could be created directly.

How can one not be crazy?The realization of the ultimate dream is at hand.

Both Su Jian and Zhang Cigong have gone mad!

The blood of the Huns on both of them can be bathed in!
All that wafted in my ears were screams and shouts of killing!
The Huns are more similar to the big Han in that they have strong stems and weak branches.

The richness of the big man depends on Guanzhong, and the force of the Xiongnu depends on the wolf living in Xushan.

As a result, other small Hun tribes were helpless when they encountered the regular army.

The one-sided massacre made people lose interest and fell into deep desire.

Some people say that if [-] pigs line up to kill, it takes a whole day to kill them.

But 1 people, when facing 1 cavalry, if they are fast, each cavalry only needs to swing a knife to end [-] lives.

The screams became less and less, and Zhang Yuan also entered the Hun tribe from the hills.

Killing women is to make the Huns more male than female, and killing children is to prevent these children from using knives against the Han people when they grow up.

Among hostile nations, the cruelty to the enemy is the kindness to one's own people.

"Everyone stop!"

Seeing that there were only more than 100 Huns surrounded in a tent, Zhang Yuan immediately signaled for the surrounding Han troops to stop.

"Su Jian, take away everything that can be used, we can withdraw!"

"The general let them go?"

Although these more than 100 heads are all old, weak, sick and disabled, they can still be exchanged for the title of the young master.

It's impossible to say it doesn't hurt.

"Let them go, we need someone to send a message to the Xiongnu Grand Chanyu!"

"Here!"

Tell Su Jian and the others to clean up the battlefield, Zhang Yuan shouted at the tent.

"I don't know if the people inside can understand what I'm saying, if they can understand, please send a message to the military officer of the Xiongnu Da Shanyu.

The big man's revenge has begun, and he must carry on until he sees the iron hooves of the big man's cavalry stepping into Langjuxu Mountain!
Tell him that the person who slaughtered this tribe today is Zhang Yuan, the Ranger General of the Han Dynasty!
If he wants to survive, I still need a few Hun actors. I heard that the Huns dance very beautifully. The emperor of the big man is very interested in it! "

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

Three or four Huns with knives rushed out of the tent, probably stimulated by Zhang Yuan's words, so they rushed out regardless of their lives.

But Zhang Yuan was protected by a hundred people, and these Huns fell under the arrows as soon as they rushed out.

On the one hand, Zhang Yuan wanted to pretend to be Bobby, and on the other hand, he wanted to annoy the army officials of the Huns, Shan Yu, so that he could lose his mind.

"My words are here anyway. It doesn't matter whether you pass them on or not. Remember that you are just the first Xiongnu tribe to be destroyed by the Han army.

Oh, no, it's the second one, the first one was destroyed by me in Dragon City a few years ago, but I believe there will be a third one soon! "

As soon as Zhang Yuan finished speaking, dozens of desperate Huns rushed out of the tent. It seemed that Dragon City had a higher status in their hearts than the Huns' great Shanyu.

However, the dozens of people who rushed out also came out to give away the head, and they did not threaten Zhang Yuan at all.
