Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 71
Liu He led his troops to Nankou, a small urn city with a radius of more than ten zhang. This is the entrance to Xing, the capital of the army.

The grain and grass from Yuyang were being transported, the soldiers were busy coming in and out, the defenders inside the city had already detected the movement, and when they got outside the city, several generals greeted them.

There was a man in front of him with a beard and a dark red face. He was about thirty years old. Before Liu He could dismount, the man came up to him with fists clasped in his arms: "Your Excellency must be Liu Shijun's son. He is so majestic and extraordinary. He really is a hero from a young age!" "

Liu He understands that this is because they value Liu Yu's face. He has been away for three or four years, and these people still give face so much. It can be seen that Liu Yu is really popular in Youzhou. No wonder he was forced to death by Gongsun Zan, and there are so many people He takes revenge.

"This is Liu He!" Liu He stepped forward to salute, and asked, "I don't know how to address you?"

The man replied: "I am Xian Yuyin. I am waiting for you here by my brother's order. They have already gone to Juyongguan."

Liu He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's enter the pass first!"

Xian Yuyin agreed, and led others to lead the way to Juyongguan.

The Xianyu family is a big family in Yuyang, and the two brothers Xianyufu and Xianyuyin are Liu Yu's former subordinates. In history, Liu Yu and Liu He took revenge on Gongsun Zan after he was killed, which hurt Gongsun Zan's vitality.

These are available people!

Thinking secretly in Liu He's mind, he walked into Junduxing, where the two mountains stand between.

Along the way, Liu He asked Xian Yuyin about the Wuhuan people who were the most distributed in Youzhou, and learned about the movements of these Hu people. It turned out that the Wuhuan people, them and Xianbei were all Donghu tribes.

After the Donghu tribe was conquered by the Xiongnu, the Wuhuan people migrated southward for a time. They migrated south twice during the Han Dynasty and were eventually moved to the ten peripheral counties of Liaodong, Yuyang and Shuofang within the Great Wall.

The Wuhuan people who migrated behind were divided into several tribes, each of which governed their own affairs. The leader of each Wuhuan tribe was called an "adult". They accepted the titles of marquis, king, and monarch of the Han Dynasty, and were under the jurisdiction of the Wuhuan captain of the Han Dynasty. Every year, Tribute to the court.

Because they were divided, they could not form a unified tribal alliance, so they did not develop and grow, and most of them were in Youzhou.

The Wuhuan people in Youzhou are mainly distributed in the east and west mountains, in the west in Daijun and Shanggu, in the east mainly in Liaodong and Liaoxi, and there are also some Wuhuan tribes in the north of Youbeiping.

The passage to Jundu Mountain is about [-] miles long. After walking halfway, you will see a majestic pass perched dangerously on it, namely Juyong Pass. There are only cliffs on both sides, and the terrain is extremely dangerous.

As soon as he arrived outside the pass, several people came out to greet him. They were Ji Chou, the captain of Wuhuan School, Xian Yuyin's elder brother Xian Yufu, who is now the captain of Yuyang County, and the other one was Cheng Xu, the prefect of Dai County.

This Cheng Xu is also Liu Yu's subordinate. When Liu Yu gathered troops to fight against Gongsun Zan, Cheng Xu believed that Gongsun Zan had not been convicted of a crime. Yibing approached the city and ordered Gongsun Zan to surrender voluntarily. It's wrong enough.

Everyone exchanged greetings, and everyone was quite respectful to Liu He. On the one hand, because he was the son of Liu Yu, they were very grateful to Liu Yu. On the other hand, Liu He wiped out the Yellow Turbans of Youzhou and killed the three Zhang Jiao brothers, which proved own.

After entering the customs, Ji Chou said: "Everyone came to help in time, and Mr. Liu Fu dispatched him. As long as we are of one mind, the Xianbei army is nothing to worry about!"

Liu He hurriedly said: "This time against the enemy, I still have to rely on you to use troops. I am new here, how dare I order you?"

Ji Chou said with a smile: "I recently heard that the prince of the government defeated the Yellow Turban and killed the Zhang Jiao brothers and made great achievements. I am really happy for Mr. Liu. The prince is both civil and military, so there is no need to be modest."

Xian Yufu also said: "I am just a martial artist, I am deeply grateful for Mr. Liu's kindness, and I know what you are capable of, so I am willing to obey."

Cheng Xu also said: "Young Master is taking office in Zhuo County. We should have gone to visit, but there are many internal affairs in the county, and we really can't get away. It is an honor to be able to fight the enemy with you now. Please don't refuse, Young Master."

Liu He repeatedly gave in, but everyone refused to listen. In the end, everyone discussed that Ji Chou would be in charge of the entire army, and Liu He was responsible for leading the troops and planning, and everyone discussed the use of troops together.

However, after this incident, Liu He became more and more aware of the great influence of the noble families in the Han Dynasty. It was not easy to start from scratch in this era.

If it weren't for Liu Yu's influence, even if he was a young man who had contributed to breaking the Yellow Turban, he wouldn't be so highly regarded by these veterans. Even if they paid attention to him, he wouldn't be allowed to dispatch the entire army.

Later, Yuan Shu was able to dominate Huainan, and Yuan Shao was able to let Han Fu easily give up Jizhou.

But the greater the power of these aristocratic families, the greater the threat to the imperial court. This hidden danger was especially obvious in the Jin Dynasty.

During the break, Ji Chou and Cheng Xu gave a brief introduction to the situation in Shanggu County. The Xianbei troops who invaded Shanggu this time exceeded [-]. They were strong and powerful, and their attacks were very sharp.

The Wuhuan tribe in Shanggu has more than [-] people, and its leader Nanlou is not weak. However, he could not withstand the Xianbei attack this time and had no choice but to retreat to Daijun.

Cheng Xuyan said: "After Tan Shihuai's death, Helian was unpopular. He led his troops in the west to conquer various places, and the remaining tribes followed Tan Shihuai's elder brother's son Kuitou to attack eastward. supplies."

Liu He nodded and said: "The military capital Xing is the only passage to the Mobei grassland. This place has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The leader wants to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to invade, and he has a good plan."

Ji Chou frowned and said, "According to the report from Ma Lai, more than [-] Xianbei troops entered Shanggu, and many tribes followed. It was not the leader who defeated Nanlou. Less, we can only guard against danger."

But Liu He shook his head and said: "The Xianbei army has the intention of coveting the Central Plains this time. If we don't attack them head-on and teach them a lesson, it will become a serious problem, and the land of Daijun may also be copied by them."

Cheng Xufu said: "This is what I am worried about. If the Xianbei in the Shanggu land are not dispersed, the Daijun land will not be protected. The Wuhuan people surrender wholeheartedly and seek asylum. If they cannot be protected this time , the rest of the tribes may also have a different heart and take the opportunity to revolt."

"So we must take the initiative to attack!" Liu He said to the crowd: "Although we have a small number of troops, our soldiers are elite and brave, and they are not comparable to the mobs of Xianbei. As long as we plan properly, it is not difficult to defeat them."

Ji Chou said: "It would be great if you have a strategy to defeat the enemy. This time, it is related to the safety of Youzhou. You must not be careless."

Cheng Xu said: "War is all about timing, location, and harmony of people. I see that when you entered the customs just now, the generals behind you were all fierce generals. With such elite soldiers and your strategy, why are you afraid of those barbarians?" generation?"

Ji Chou finally made up his mind, nodded and said: "Since you all are determined to fight, I will work together and wait and see how the first battle goes before making plans."
