Han counter current

The Youzhou caravan mainly buys grain, which is a signal. In addition, the grassland has already become turbulent. If there is nothing tricky about this, then he doesn't have to take on this job.

"Opportunity, attacking the Xiongnu, it's impossible for Chen Feng to stop in a year or so. Even if he wins, he won't even think about making a big move in the past two or three years.

In this way, among the northern princes, there is one less powerful opponent, and the rest of the people can be separated. "

Looking at the map, Cao Cao looked smug.He finally got the chance to go to Hebei. This time, he must make a good plan.

Chapter 407 The Beginning of the Northern Expedition 1

After preparing for nearly three months, from the busy spring to the end of summer, Youzhou finally mobilized all the troops and supplies for the expedition.

"It's almost here. It's finally about to start. Xiongnu, Liu Bao, hehe, after waiting for so long, maybe you should wait too soon."

On the tower, Chen Feng looked at the sky in the north, his heart was full of emotions.After working so hard for so long, it's finally time for the results to come out.

Revenge is not just as simple as shouting.If it was just for a moment of anger, Chen Fengda could lead [-] to [-] elite soldiers into the grassland to burn, kill and loot.

Perhaps, by doing this, he can vent his anger and get a little gain.But, for the bigger picture, it does more harm than good.

The grassland is so big, and the range of activities of the Huns is so wide, it is impossible to completely solve the hidden dangers of the Huns with one or two raids.

Therefore, at that time, when Chen Feng uttered the slogan of revenge, whether it was Jia Xu or Gongsun Xu, what they wanted to do was to completely destroy the Xiongnu.

For this reason, they must prepare well, mobilize a large number of soldiers and horses, and transport enough supplies. At the same time, they must formulate a detailed plan for it, and the preparations in the early stage must also be indispensable.

"My lord, the soldiers and horses to go on the expedition have already assembled north of the Great Wall. All the grain and grass have been stockpiled in granaries on the grasslands and along the Great Wall.

The time has come for the expedition, and our army's morale is high. To send troops at this moment, the right time, the right place, and the right people are all on our side. The Xiongnu will soon be destroyed. "

As the chief logistics manager of this military operation, Gongsun Xu was also full of excitement.This time, he was confirmed as the important general of Youzhou.

"How many soldiers and horses are assembled this time, how many elite subordinates and servants are there respectively, and how many soldiers and horses will the enemy army dispatch?"

For the next battle, Chen Feng was also looking forward to it.However, before that, he must figure out the strength comparison between himself and the enemy.

"Our army has [-] elite cavalry and [-] elite infantry, most of whom are sons of the Han family. In addition, there are [-] servant cavalry and [-] slave troops.

A total of 11 soldiers and horses were mobilized before and after, and most of the rest of the peasants and young adults were mobilized from the local area of ​​Youzhou and the north of the Great Wall.

As for the enemy army, according to previous intelligence, Liu Bao could mobilize no less than [-] Hun cavalry, and there were also Xianbei cavalry who came to help, perhaps as many as [-]. "

As the head of logistics, he must have a clear understanding of the strength of the enemy and us, logistics, etc., otherwise, how he will deploy food and support.

"Our army's elite is naturally trustworthy. In this battle, it is unexpected that half of them will be soldiers of foreign races. This is very unfavorable to our army.

In any case, after this battle, the ratio of Han people to Hu people in the army must be changed.These servants are fine in a downwind battle, but when it comes to a tough battle, they are unreliable. "

Perhaps, Chen Feng did not have much experience in such a large-scale war.However, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to win, he had to rely on those trusted subordinates.

The [-] elite Han troops, these people had an indissoluble hatred with the Huns in their blood, so they were Chen Feng's most solid support on the battlefield.

As for the servants and slaves, to a certain extent, they are related to the Huns or Xianbei. Although this kind of relationship is not mentioned on the grassland, who can guarantee that they will not turn against the water.

"Master Mingjian, it should be so. Our army's new recruitment work is already underway. After the migration of the Black Mountain army is completed, our army can recruit [-] new troops. At that time, these hidden dangers will definitely be eliminated."

"Maybe, but it will take at least two or three years. Right now, hmph, it depends on how long it takes us to complete this Northern Expedition."

One hundred thousand new troops, to put it simply.If they can't become the elite of the battlefield, then what's the use of them?Therefore, Chen Feng thought clearly that to change the situation under his command, it really needed a transition period of two or three years.

"I ordered Zhang Xiu to be the vanguard. I will lead [-] cavalry first, and I will lead the [-] Chinese troops to lead the formation. The rest of the troops will be in your command.

Food, grass, supplies, and logistics reserves are all in your hands. Be sure to ensure the connection between the Great Wall and our army camp.The key to our army's victory or defeat lies with you. "

"No, this subordinate takes orders."

Some time ago, Wei Yue led the horse bandits under his command to make a lot of noise on the grassland.Although they were defeated in the end, the grazing of the Huns was more or less affected.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun led the mysterious troops to make trouble in the north of the Huns' court, annihilating no less than 8000 young and strong Huns, which dealt a great blow to the Huns.

In the end, relying on Liu Bao to lead [-] elites back to aid, and using the advantage of numbers to gradually reduce the space for movement on Zhao Yun's side, Zhao Yun was forced to leave.

Otherwise, the legend of the Heavenly Wolf God coming to the grassland would have to be sung in the northern part of the court of the Huns.Those tribes who were determined to give allegiance to Liu Bao had to be attacked or slaughtered.

However, it doesn't matter now.After these two appetizers, Chen Feng finally led his army to march towards the grassland at the end of summer.

On the grassland, a group of cavalry was advancing rapidly. Although they were not many in number, each of them had three horses, so the formation was not small.

"Ling Ming, when our army first sneaked into the grassland, there were more than [-] soldiers. After repeated battles, our army did not lose much. Why did we only have this thousand soldiers left when we finally retreated?"

Seeing that he was about to join the army of the Northern Expedition, Zhao Yun finally raised his inner question.After being expelled from the Xiongnu grassland by Liu Bao, he always felt that the number of soldiers on his side was decreasing along the way.

Pang De was in charge of these matters, and he couldn't get involved.However, he believed that those who dared to follow him into the grassland were all elites, and it was impossible for them to flee during such an evacuation.

"Zilong, this is the order of the military division. It is not up to you and me to intervene. Our task is to create the illusion that all four thousand soldiers and horses have withdrawn. We can only let the military division tell you the rest."

It's not that Pound doesn't want to say it, but that he can't.Or rather, he couldn't tell himself.He only knew that since Wei Yue led his army into the grassland, Jia Xu and Li Ru, two military advisers, were playing a big game of chess.

That is to say, since then, whether it is Wei Yue, Pound, or Zhao Yun who appeared later, they have all become pawns in this big game, so what they have to do is to perform tasks.

In the court of the Huns, soldiers and horses were also assembled at this moment.Before, in order to destroy Wei Yue, Liu Bao only used his troops and horses, but now that the Youzhou army is setting out, what he has to do is to gather all the Huns' capable soldiers.

"Come on, let me see how capable you are, Chen Feng. Hmph, I have 10,000+ elite Xiongnu, plus tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry, it's hard to make it happen, and you will suffer on the grassland."

After running back and forth for so long, Liu Bao's anger also rose to the extreme.Since Chen Feng wanted to fight, how could he fall behind as the Hun Shanyu.

Chapter 408 The Beginning of the Northern Expedition 2

In order to defeat the threat from Youzhou, and to maintain his reputation on the grassland, Liu Bao had to fight this battle.

Chen Feng led more than [-] soldiers and horses. The vanguard soldiers and horses have already used force on the grassland. The main force of the Chinese army has also left the Great Wall at this moment. With such a big posture, how can ordinary grassland tribes resist it.

"Everyone, drink this cup first. This time, our army has assembled an army of 10,000+, including no less than 20 horses. The purpose is to defeat Chen Feng in Youzhou in one fell swoop.

As long as our army can win this battle, perhaps our warriors will be able to warm themselves by warming themselves by the fire in the houses of the Han people south of the Great Wall this winter. "

"Congratulations to Shan Yu, I wish Shan Yu a successful start,,,,,,"

In the big tent, Liu Bao was entertaining his generals and allies he had invited.This battle requires so many troops, he must establish a good relationship with the generals and allies before going to battle.

"I think back then, how brave my prairie warriors were when they ruled the world. Horses stepped on the Great Wall, hacked Han people with knives, and the places where eagles could fly were all the pastures of my prairie sons.

A few years ago, when our son Lang plundered the Great Wall area, his soldiers were so majestic.Xihe, Taiyuan, Yanmen and other places are all places where we ride our horses.

The Han people there have all become our slaves. They work for us and graze for us. All those Han women are celebrating and moaning under the crotch of our warriors.

Now, this opportunity is coming again.As long as we work together to defeat Chen Feng this time, our warriors will once again be able to dominate the heads of the Han people. "

"Chan Yu, Shan Yu,,,,,,"
