Straight man of steel

Chapter 437 Dispatched
Zhang Yuan simply issued two or three orders.

The army in the surrendered city began to move.

All those who went out to train in the city and those who acted as scouts stayed away.

There were more than a dozen generals, some supervising the training of the soldiers, while others were discussing tactics to defeat the enemy.

On the second day after arriving in the surrendered city, some scouts reported back the situation of Fuyangju Mountain Narrows.

There was no sign of a large army crossing the border.

When everyone learned the news, the stone that was weighing on their hearts was finally lifted.

What everyone is most afraid of is returning without success. As long as the army of King Xiutu and King Hunxie can be held back, it is actually a victory. This is not difficult for the [-] Han cavalry.

"Everyone, tomorrow I will send a vanguard army to Dongjunji Mountain.

There are [-] people, with enough crossbows and arrows, no need to bring heavy weapons such as spears.

The task of the vanguard is to slow down the Huns after they find the traces of the Huns.

If you can delay it for a day, you can buy a day for the brothers behind. "

Zhang Yuan put his hands on the desk and looked at Zhang Cigong.

The original vanguard general was Antou Hou Zhang Cigong, he was more cautious than others, Zhang Yuan did not give him the order to fight to the death, he would definitely not leave his miserable body thousands of miles away from the territory of the Han Dynasty.

"General Wei, the last general, Zhang Cigong, has requested to fight."

After all, it was just a verbal promise before, and Zhang Yuan didn't say in front of everyone that he had appointed Zhang Cigong as the pioneer.

Seeing Zhang Yuan staring at him, Zhang Cigong understood, and clasped his fists with both hands, pleading for Zhang Yuan's order.

"Okay, Antou Hou is my strong man with both wisdom and courage. This general believes that you can take on this important task.

Li Shuo listened to the order, this general appointed you as the deputy general of Antouhou, and led the headquarters as the vanguard.

All [-] cavalrymen must obey the orders of the Marquis of the Bank. "

"The last will obey."

Zhang Yuan finally got Li Shuo out.

If he made something wrong in Junji Mountain, he could only risk his own life, but according to the customs of the Li family, surrender was more likely.

Zhang Yuan took out the tiger charm from his arms, handed it to Zhang Cigong, and pressed it on his hand.

The simple action allowed Zhang Cigong to get a lot of information, not only trust, but also other meanings.

"The rest of the generals will go directly to Fuyangju Mountain with this general the day after tomorrow.

The [-] infantry in the surrendered city delivered food to the cavalry uninterrupted every day, once a day, and delivered food and grass for two days at a time.

Li Jian is in charge, and there must be no mistakes. Before the war, the dry food on our bodies must be kept for more than [-] days.

Once the main cavalry came into contact with the Xiongnu army, we were like a flat boat floating on the sea. If we wanted to get supplies, we had to fight back King Xiutu and King Hunxie. "

"The last general would like to obey the orders of General Wei!"

If there was nothing extra, the vanguard army who was about to set off in advance immediately began to pack their bags.

Zhang Yuan called Zhang Cigong to his residence alone, and he had to explain some things clearly.

"General Wei."

"Marquis An Tou, you sit down first."

"Yes."

"I originally thought that you would win the first prize as a pioneer, but I didn't expect that Li Shuo would go out with me.

Now that he belongs to you, it is the best choice for the overall situation. "

"Mo will be clear, if there is any change in him after he sets out, Mo will not act rashly.

This kid has clashed with you, General, over and over again, and he doesn't think he's very smart.

The general will only focus on the overall situation. If he can rely on his own ability to gain credit, the general will not stop him.

But if he does anything to harm our Han army, the general will kill him as soon as possible! "

Zhang Yuan really didn't want to engage in these intrigues, but he also didn't want anything that would affect the battle situation to happen.

Li Guang killed several students of Zhang Yuan before the battle, but Liu Che did not blame Li Guang for this afterwards.

Similarly, if Li Shuo really contradicted the general before the battle, Zhang Cigong could at least imprison him.

When you have to, you won't be criticized by others if you kill him.

Of course, Zhang Yuan knew that Zhang Cigong was just expressing his attitude. If he wanted him to kill Li Shuo, it would be impossible to fall out with the Li family in Longxi.

It's nice to be able to make a statement.

"Okay, just pay attention.

You must be careful during this trip. Your task is to find out the opponent's strength and then delay them for a day or two.

At that time, I will set up a line of defense in Fuyangju Mountain, so that I can hold them back for another day.

Our next pressure will be greatly reduced. "

Zhang Cigong nodded, it is already the middle of July.

It is not bad that the Xiongnu reinforcements can march four hundred miles a day on horseback, and they have to drive cattle and sheep as rations for the army.

It is certain to go at sunrise and rest at sunset. Setting up a tent and closing the tent every day will delay time.

It was less than 20 days before the time limit given by the military officials, and it was more than 3000 miles from Junji Mountain to Tuidang City.

Calculated from the moment when the Xiongnu reinforcements appeared at Junji Mountain, they estimated that they would feel the collapse of the city in less than ten days.

There is currently no sign of the Xiongnu reinforcements. If Zhang Yuan can drag the Xiongnu reinforcements for seven to twelve days, he will have basically fulfilled the minimum limit of Liu Che's psychology.

When the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky of the Wuhuan people is over, the Huns will never have the chance to meet hundreds of thousands of Wuhuan people gathered together.

When the time comes, the various tribes will be scattered on the grasslands, and the military officials are not gods. If he launches a large army, the Wuhuan people will hide in the Daxing'an Mountains?
"General Wei, do you really just want to hold back the Huns' reinforcements?"

Zhang Cigong obviously didn't believe that Zhang Yuan only had such a small appetite, and his appetite alone was more than that.

"I said before, don't think that General Gongsun will bring [-] infantry to support us."

"what do you mean?"

"If we only use these [-] cavalry to defeat King Xiutu and King Hunxie's army, or we can chase them all the way to their lair.

Such a credit?I'm afraid it's not much less than the one who wiped out the King of Aries.

Moreover, there were too many people to share the battle merits last time. This time we only have 6000 people. "

Zhang Yuan no longer has much desire for military exploits, the more fiefs there are, the more troubles he will have in the future.

Liu Che watched your Hou Guo grow bigger and bigger, and when it was bigger than a county, and you couldn't gain his trust, then it would be embarrassing.

When Wei Qing was at his peak, he was a land of ten thousand households and one county.

Zhang Yuan has no desires, but others have unlimited desires.

For example, Zhang Cigong, a thief who has mixed up to the extent of being a marquis and worshiping a minister, who would believe him if he said he had no ambitions.

Zhang Yuan can't give Zhang Cigong anything, he can only rely on this to fool him.

"Can we?"

"Why not?
Pulling and fighting, so what if it is the Huns?
Their cavalry is far less elite than ours now, and why do you think I brought a spear here?
Can't tell now, but you'll know when the time comes. "
