Three Kingdoms: Starting from zero, a wealthy party

Chapter 117
The next day, Han Yang called all the generals and said, "Everyone, last night I decided to send troops to attack the Dingling tribe with the military adviser. According to the report from the spies, there are indeed bears in the Dingling tribe. I will call you here. I just hope that everyone can give some suggestions, how to wipe out this bear army without hurting my soldiers?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but couldn't say a word for a long time.

Guo Jia said from the side: "To deal with bears, the army must not let the army attack with all its strength, otherwise it will be a scene of mutual damage. I don't think this is what the king wants."

"What the military adviser said is very true. Anyway, let me tell you what I think. I want to incorporate all those bears into the Xiliang Army, put armor on them, and form a bear cavalry to attack the city!"

All the generals were shocked after hearing this, such a thing was unheard of in the Three Kingdoms world, but at the same time they agreed with Han Yang's statement in their hearts.Attacking a city with bears has never happened in history, but surprise soldiers often win by surprise.

Ma Chao suddenly stood up and said, "My lord, I have a solution."

"Say it."

"When Mr. Hua Tuo came to Xiliang City, I asked him for some knowledge about pharmacology. Mr. Hua Tuo told me a lot, including some things about bears."

"Mr. Hua Tuo has been treating people all over the world. He has traveled to many places. When he was in Bingzhou, he helped a hunter who was injured by a bear. During the conversation with the hunter, I learned that bears like honey very much. They They often climb to the trees with beehives to steal honey."

Han Yang slapped his forehead, that's right, everyone in modern society knows about this, yet he forgot at such an important juncture.

Fortunately, Ma Chao knew about this, but how to lure those bears away with honey.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Order the people in Xiliang City to collect honey, the more the better. Those who turn in the honey will be rewarded, and I will leave this matter to Gaolu."

"For this trip, I plan to bring only [-] soldiers and horses. Ji Ling and Zhang Ji, you two will go with me."

"The last will obey."

"The rest of the generals are stationed in Xiliang City. During my absence, everyone must obey the arrangement of the military adviser. Anyone who disobeys will be beheaded."

A few days later, Han Yang led five thousand soldiers and set out on the road with honey.Although Xiliang City is on the Loess Plateau, it is in the valley of the Yellow River after all, with lush vegetation. The people also found a lot of honey, which solved a big problem.

Han Yang decided to go to Xilamulun River first to visit those villagers, and by the way, he asked Yuwen Qiulin to send troops, intending to attack the Nadingling tribe in one fell swoop.

As soon as Han Yang's army arrived at the river, the village chief came out to greet them. They learned the planting and construction techniques of the Central Plains on this grassland, and now they have their own land and their own houses, and they are very grateful.

Han Yang ordered the soldiers to dismount to help the local people, while he took Ji Ling and Zhang Ji to look for Yuwen Qiulin.

Since Yuwen Qiulin took over the grassland, the life of the grassland people has been greatly improved, and the strength of the army has become stronger day by day.

Before arriving at the governor's mansion, Yuwen and his son were already waiting, Han Yang got off his horse, and entered the mansion with the two of them.

After a meal, Han Yang asked him about the recent situation of the Dingling tribe. Yuwen Qiulin said that since the death of Dong Lu, the Dingling tribe has been silent, and the army did not come out to practice, as if it had disappeared.

Han Yang understood that the Ding Ling tribe fled away in fear of revenge, but Han Yang was not going to let them go. This expedition was to wipe them all out. How could they be allowed to continue fleeing!
Calculating the time, it has been about two weeks since Dong Lu's death, and the Dingling tribe's army has definitely not escaped very far, not to mention that they live on rivers, without Lake Baikal, where will the army's supplies come from?

So they must still be around the lake, Han Yang thought so.

He ordered Yuwen Qiulin to immediately send a team of sentries to find the whereabouts of the Dingling tribe.

In the early morning, Lake Baikal was shrouded in a thick layer of mist, which flowed like milk on the river and grass. At this time, it is about to enter summer, and Lake Baikal has entered a wet season. In recent days, there have been several light rains. The humid air has attracted many animals to come out to look for food.The surrounding area was very quiet at the moment, a group of fat deer were drinking water by the river with their heads down.

At this moment, a sharp arrow "swoosh!" shot out, and hit a fat deer. The injured deer wailed and fell to the lake, disturbing the drinking deer. They suddenly panicked and looked around. Fly for your life.

I saw two Huns soldiers wearing animal skins fighting on the grass, holding bows and arrows in their hands. One of them saw the fat deer lying by the lake, jumped up for joy, and ran forward to point at the deer triumphantly. He said: "How about it, you lost the bet! How dare you say that I missed the shot."

Another soldier didn't take it seriously, "It's just a fluke. I don't know your archery technique, and I don't know if you can hit one arrow with a hundred arrows. Today's shooting is definitely a fluke. It's just a shit luck."

"If you lose, you lose. Don't let the food and drink at Qingyang Inn go away!"

"It's just a meal of wine and food. Why are you so fussy about it? Look at your complacent look. Why are you happy when a blind cat bumps into a dead mouse?"

"You don't want to renege on your debt!"

"Got it, let's go! Let's go! Let's talk when we go back, don't keep the captain waiting.

The soldier picked up the deer and walked away. The soldier who shot the deer followed behind, chattering along the way, and the two quickly disappeared into the mist.

This is a patrol team of 20 Xiongnu soldiers. Under the order of Yuwen Chulin, they carefully patrolled the area around Lake Baikal to collect information on the Dingling tribe.

The head of the village is named Zhao Xin, who was one of the villagers rescued by Han Yang back then, and he is very familiar with the terrain in this area.

At this time, the sentry cavalry were packing their bags on the grass and preparing to patrol the upper reaches of the river. Zhao Xin looked around at his men, frowned and asked, "Are Hao Li and Lu Laoliu back yet?"

"I'm coming!"

Lu Laoliu's shout came from a distance, and the two men came running one after the other, and Lu Laoliu was still carrying a deer on his shoulders.Zhao Xin's face darkened when he saw it, and he said very dissatisfied: "I asked you to check the situation, did you two hunt deer?"

The two lowered their heads in fright, and after a while Lu Laoliu said: "Captain, we have already patrolled the lake and found no horseshoe prints. It's just that when we came back, we happened to meet a group of deer drinking water by the lake. Hao Li must have To shoot, I didn't stop him."

"Nonsense! Obviously you said you wanted to shoot a deer."

"It's just nonsense! Zhao Xin shouted angrily and interrupted the argument between the two. He glared at the two of them and said sharply: "This time, I will warn you two first. It will be dealt with as a violation of military discipline!"
