The only cavalry unit of the Yellow Turban Army, the Quxiao Cavalry Battalion, was commanded by Lu Bu.

The first reason is that Xiaoqiying cannot be allowed to become the dominant family, otherwise, Lu Bu may think that Xu An cannot do without Xiaoqiying, and thus develop arrogance.

The second reason is that two same parts can be compared with each other. Only with comparison and competition can they make progress and not stand still.

This point has been very well reflected in the military pawn battalion and sharp warrior battalion of the Yellow Turban Army.

Both the military pawn battalion and sharp warrior battalion are survival of the fittest. If they fail the assessment, they will be downgraded to the next level.

Military pawns are downgraded to sharp soldiers, and sharp soldiers are downgraded to ordinary sergeants.

The last reason is that Xu An really needs cavalry at this stage.

The turmoil within the Han Empire was relatively small for the time being, and it was mainly concentrated in the North, not the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Liu Hong is not dead, and although the Han Dynasty is declining, its power is still there.

Before the later generation Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was disgraced and was directly treated as a puppet.

It is very unrealistic to expand to Jizhou and Sili.

And when chaos is about to break out, Xu An also needs to eliminate the danger of the Northland first, so that the Yellow Turban Army's military strength will not be scattered as it is now.

And this threat came from the Southern Huns in the north.

The Southern Huns were mainly concentrated in the three counties of Yunzhong, Wuyuan, and Shuofang, as well as Xihe County and the area north of the Great Wall in Shangjun.

After defeating the Xiongnu, Xu Anneng got much-needed food, money, and a large number of livestock.

These livestock can be used for food, for breeding, and for improving the efficiency of farming.

and also……

The Yellow Turban Army is currently in urgent need of manpower.

There are quite a lot of craftsmen in Bingzhou, and the potential for war is relatively large, but the lack of raw materials largely restricts the Yellow Turban Army's weaponry.

Iron ore is scarce, although there are many iron mines in Taihang, Taiyue and other mountains.

However, the number of people under the rule of the Yellow Turban Army is really too few. A million people sounds like a lot, but they are distributed all over Bingzhou, which can only be described in four words - vast land and sparse population.

And Xu An didn't want ordinary farmers to become miners to mine iron ore.

Mine work has a high death rate, and there are fields in Bingzhou, Hedong and even now that are too late to cultivate.

In this era, the mining technology is too crude. Although the mining technology of later generations is relatively mature, which greatly reduces the casualty rate, Xu An has never done research on mining, so there is no good way to prevent casualties.

So Xu An set his sights on the Southern Huns who already had hatred.

Now that the Southern Huns waved their butcher knives, they should also be prepared to bear all the consequences.

The people of Xihe County cannot just die in vain!

Almost all the available war horses in Bingzhou were assembled by Xu An.

Under Yan Zhong's arrangement, a large number of civilian husbands were recruited, and the vehicles transporting grain and grass flowed to the north like a river.

Almost all the available war horses in Bingzhou were gathered in Yanmen and Xihe counties.

And the people in Bingzhou knew that the Yellow Turban Army was going to leave the fortress, and no one did not support the Northern Expedition of the Huns.

When the Yellow Turban Army went to the border of Yanmen and Xihe counties, they received a grand welcome from the people along the way.

The eagle wolf guard's Tiqi is also working day and night, strictly preventing the news of the guard from leaking out.

If the Xiongnu had learned the news too early, it would have greatly increased the pressure on the Yellow Turban Army.

In the north, Wuhuan King Nanlou personally led more than [-] Wuhuan cavalry from Shanggu County. According to the plan discussed with Xu An, they moved closer to Yinshan and intercepted the Xiongnu's retreat.

None of Xubuguduhou and the nobles of the Southern Xiongnu thought that in just a few short years, the Yellow Turban Army, which lacked cavalry and could not pursue, had secretly planned such a terrifying plan.

As of February 25th, there are only a few days before the time for dispatching troops.

Xu An's plan to spread the net in all directions has already taken shape.

To the north were more than [-] Wuhuan cavalry led by Mr. Nanlou, Wuhuan of Shanggu County.

To the west is the coalition army jointly sent by Wang Guo, Han Sui, and Ma Teng, with a total of [-] cavalry.

To the east is the Yanmen Yellow Turban Army led by General Protector Xu Huang, with a total of more than [-] people.

To the south is the Yellow Turban Army of Xihe County, led by Xu An himself, with a total of more than [-] people.

For the First Battle of the Southern Huns, a total of nearly 10 soldiers were dispatched.

Spread the net on all sides and attack the Huns together.

Even those tribes at the outermost extent of the influence of the Huns, when they saw the arrival of the Wuhuan and Liangzhou armies, not only did not pass on the meaning to the Huns, but joined their ranks.

It is normal for them to take advantage of the fire to loot and attach themselves to the strong.

Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, this is the law on the grassland!

The fierce tiger has shown its sharp fangs, but the Southern Xiongnu tribe as the prey, their position of "Supporting the Plow and Gutu Shanyu" is still vacant, and no one has yet to inherit it.

Xu Bu Guduhou was still eliminating the last dissident, he was unaware of the imminent threat.

The butcher knife he raised was aimed at his compatriots.

Chapter 316 Encirclement from All Directions

Xihe County, Meiji City.

This is where the royal court of the Southern Huns is located.

Just yesterday, the heads of dozens of Xiongnu nobles fell to the ground, and several Xiongnu tribes outside Meiji City were also purged.

So far, no one has dared to stop Xu Buguduhou from ascending the throne of Gutu Shanyu.

Xu Bu Gudu waited to sit on the throne of Gutu Shanyu, and looked at the Xiongnu nobles kneeling on the ground at his feet, feeling an indescribable comfort in his heart.

From today onwards, no one will call him Xu Bu Gudu Hou anymore.

He will be the new Gutu Shanyu of the Xiongnu tribe, and he is the Xubu Shanyu of the Xiongnu tribe!And no longer just waiting for bones.

Xu Bu looked over the heads of the kneeling Xiongnu nobles and turned to the south.

That's where he failed, the Yellow Turbans defeated him in Taiyuan County and regained control of the southern part of Xihe County.

"Xu An..."

A trace of killing intent flashed in Xu Bu's eyes.

If Xu An hadn't caused him to lose thousands of cavalry in Taiyuan County, his prestige would have been greatly reduced.

How could it be so hard for him to ascend to the position of Xiongnu Chanyu? It made him painstakingly and even sacrificed part of his interests to win over those old nobles.

But now everything has been settled, and Xu Bu finally controlled the entire Huns tribe and became the Shanyu of the Huns.

Xu Bu stood up slowly.

His goal is not only to control the entire Huns tribe, he has even more ambitious goals.

This goal is - go south to capture Bingzhou!

Let the prestige of the Huns resound in the land of Bingzhou.

Then at this moment, a dusty Hun knight rushed into the palace.

"Zheng!" "Zheng!" "Zheng!"

There was a sound of drawing knives, all the guards of Xu Bu in the palace drew out the blades at their waists, and looked at the uninvited guest who rushed into the tent with a bad expression.

Xu Bu's face was ashen, and he stared indifferently at the Hun knight who rushed into the tent.

Today was the day when he ascended to the position of Shan Yu, but he was disturbed by this person.

Just when Xu Bu wanted to reprimand the visitor and ordered the guards to push him out and kill him, Xu Bu suddenly saw the black feather on the back of the Hun knight.

Xu Bu's face darkened, he knew that such a black feather would only be carried by the messenger in an extremely urgent situation.

Hei Yu, who bears the messenger on his back, is absolutely not allowed to stop him!

Something must have happened!

"The main force of the Yellow Turban Army started from Xihe County, and has already broken through several tribes in the southern part of Meiji. It is really hard for us to resist."

The messenger knight was out of breath, and intermittently reported the news from the south to Xu Bu.

"What did you say?!"

Xu Bu couldn't believe his ears, stepped forward, lifted the messenger knight on the ground, and asked loudly.

"The main force of the Yellow Turban Army left the fortress from Xihe County. There are about 2 troops. Among them is a cavalry army. Everyone wears white robes and carries white banners. The fighting is as fierce as wolves on the grassland. We really resist Can't stop..."

The knight who delivered the message was grabbed by the collar by Xu Bu, and told everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

"waste!"

Xu Bu jumped into a rage and pushed the knight in front of him to the ground.

"Didn't the scout get any wind? I only got the news after breaking two tribes!"

All the Xiongnu nobles in the palace also panicked, and several of them were even more anxious.

Their tribe is in the south of Meiji.

"How is this good?"

Somebody Kidd has no master.

"Chan Yu, please allow me to retire first, the Yellow Turban Army is coming fiercely, and my tribe is in the south of Meiji."

Some people were worried about the comfort of the tribe and asked Xu Bu to resign.

Others were even more impatient, wanting to leave the palace in a row.

"quiet!"

Xu Bu pulled out the weapon from the waist of the guard beside him, and slammed it down on the pillar beside him.

The loud voice instantly silenced everyone in the palace.

Xu Bu raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, and shouted sharply: "It's only 2 people, and I have tens of thousands of Huns who control strings! Why are you afraid of mere yellow scarves!"

"The Yellow Turban Army relied on the Great Wall to hold on and still have the power to protect themselves. Going out of the fortress is just seeking their own death! They just took advantage of the internal instability of our Xiongnu to take back Xihe County."

"If it wasn't for Xu An's luck, Zhang Yi would have lost his mind, and Bingzhou would have already been our pasture!"

Xu Bu stared at the people in the hall with cold eyes, and said with a sinister smile.

"I was worrying about how to cross the Great Wall, but those Han people are so stupid, it is ridiculous to challenge us Huns on the grassland!"

"Blow the horn of the king's court and gather all the warriors. I will let those Han people know their stupidity in the south of the king's court."

Follow Xu Bu to give orders.

The nobles who were named in the palace walked out of the palace one after another, and the royal court of the Huns immediately became noisy.

The sound of people neighing and horse boiling has been intertwined in just a short moment.

"Xu An..."

Xu Bu's face was gloomy and cold, and he said viciously.

"I'm going to cut off your head and make it my wine bottle!"

But things are not as simple as Xu Bu thought.

Just when Xu Bu gathered the Huns' army.

Two Hun knights who also carried black feathers entered the royal court of the Huns successively.

Xu Bu firmly held the silk book in his hand, almost all the veins on his forehead could be seen.

Just a few days ago, the Yellow Turban Army in Yanmen County had left the fortress.

The Xiongnu tribe stationed in the northern area of ​​Yanmen Pass were completely defeated.

The degree of Sinicization of the Southern Huns is relatively high, and they occupy the counties and counties that used to be combined. Many of them live in the city, and their nomadic nature is not as high as other nomadic peoples.

Therefore, the effect of the Yellow Turban Army's initiative to attack and harvest even exceeded expectations.

Most of Yunzhong County has fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.

If he and Xu An hadn't completed the encirclement of the Xiongnu royal court, Xu Huang could even have swallowed the entire Yunzhong County in one go.
