Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 75

The Han army captured Juyang with lightning speed, and the Xianbei army was defeated and retreated to Zhuo County.

Ji Chou and others came to the city on the second day and praised Liu He's generals and soldiers. With such excellent soldiers and good generals, why worry about the instability of the border?
Liu He ordered Xian Yuyin to send the captured war horses to the canyon in the northeast of Juyang. Now that the water and grass on both sides of the Gui River are abundant, there is no need for too much fodder. Mounts or labor are of great use.

Although Ji Chou had a higher official position than Liu He, he obeyed him at this time and asked, "Should we continue to march?"

Liu He shook his head and said: "Xianbei is coming aggressively. The former army will not be reconciled to setbacks. They will raise their troops to avenge themselves. We will wait for work with ease, and we will guarantee that he will fall apart within a month."

Cheng Xuyan said: "If the Xianbei army dares to advance in full force, they can contact the Wuhuan troops and send troops from Daijun to cut off their return path and prevent them from returning."

Liu He thought for a while, and said: "There are also cunning people in the Xianbei army. They must have prepared for this move. They divided their troops to attack Daijun because they were afraid that they would be cut off. The Wuhuan people only need to hold back this force. gone."

Cheng Xu said: "Although Wuhuan lost to the Xianbei army, it's okay to have a partial division."

Liu He nodded slightly, looked at Ji Chou and asked, "Captain Ji Chou, I heard that the Wuhuan people often robbed people secretly and even sold them outside the Great Wall. Do you know about this?"

Ji Chou was startled suddenly, and looked at Liu He in surprise: "This matter... I also heard a little bit about this matter, but I can't find any evidence. How did the captain know?"

Liu He frowned slightly: "When I passed through Jicheng, Captain Zou mentioned that this matter must be investigated strictly. Once evidence is found, severe punishment will be given."

Ji Chou nodded and said: "After the war is over, I will immediately send people to investigate the matter. If they don't know good and bad, they should be dealt with according to the law."

Liu He said solemnly: "In the past, the Wuhuan people were like bereaved dogs. It was my great man's kindness that gave them a place to stay. Now that they dare to backlash and persist in their obsession, let them compete with the Xianbei people for territory!"

Looking at Liu He's stern expression, Ji Chou and the others suddenly felt awe-inspiring. They saw an extraordinary aura from him. He was also for the common people, but Liu He's decisiveness and Liu Yu's mediation were completely different. different.

The plan has been decided, send Xian Yufu with scouts to inquire about the news of the Xianbei army, Xu Rong is in charge of the city defense, and the rest of the generals prepare their own troops for the next battle.

The Xianbei cavalry was extremely fast, and rushed to Zhuo County the next day after hearing the news. Ke Bineng of the former army was very cautious and did not lead the troops to attack Juyang alone.

There is a map on the table, which shows the topography of the Yanhuai Basin. Zhuolu and Juyang are both on the banks of the water. This is a big river flowing through Shanggu County, passing through Jundu Mountain, passing through Jicheng and entering the sea. Judging from the flow direction, it should be the Yongding River of later generations.

There are two tributaries in the upper reaches of the water. The water control in Daijun is the Sanggan River, and the other tributary, the Yang River, is called Xiushui at this time. The two rivers converge in Zhuo County.

Moreover, Zhuolu County is also the intersection of Huaiyan Basin and Zhangjiakou Basin. It is an extremely important geographical location. The famous civil fort change in Ming Dynasty took place here, and Zhu Qizhen was captured by the Oala army here.

By capturing this place, we secured the gateway to the eastern part of Shanggu and Daijun.

Ma was stationed at the junction of Zhuo County and Juyang, and Xian Yufu personally took the captives who persuaded him to investigate the enemy's situation. He investigated the situation of the Xianbei soldiers in great detail, and marked it on the map after returning.

The middle road is Ke Bineng's begging troops. At this time, Ke Bineng was only the head of the town, and he had not yet become a tribal leader. The left and right were soldiers and horses from the Rouran Department. There were more than 5 soldiers and horses in the three battalions. Stationed three or four miles apart, they can take care of each other.

Seeing them pointing on the map, Zhang Fei couldn't help himself, and said: "My lord, the Xianbei army is camping outside, only four or five miles away, as long as we kill them, we can defeat them, why bother?" Working hard?"

Liu Heyan said: "The Xianbei people are brave and good at fighting, but they are no better than those Yellow Turbans. The previous defeat was nothing more than underestimating the enemy. In a direct confrontation, you need to be cautious. Don't be careless."

Zhang Fei rubbed his hands together anxiously, while Guan Yu twitched his beard and closed his eyes, and waited quietly, frowning slightly. Liu He often reminded him to use more tactics, and he was probably thinking about how to use his troops at this time.

While discussing, suddenly there was loud drumming outside, Xu Rong sent people to report, and the Xianbei army sent generals to fight, the generals immediately cheered up, and followed Liu He to the top of the city.

I saw more than 3000 cavalrymen coming down from the city. The first was a bald man wearing a tiger skin jacket, with a black face and fleshy skin, with only a tuft of hair on his forehead, which looked like a one-horned rhinoceros.

Xu Rong was originally from Liaoxi, and he was quite familiar with the Hu people. Seeing Liu He's arrival, he told him, "My lord, this is a soldier from the Qifu Department. The person who came is Ke Bineng's younger brother Ju Luohou."

Liu He nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Kebi is eager to make a name for himself in the tribe, so he must have been sent here to lead the charge."

Cheng Xu nodded and said: "Xianbei people respect strength, and the front is defeated. If Juluohou can win, he will be respected by other tribes. I think this person is strong and fierce, and only Yide can defeat him."

Zhang Fei laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Hahaha, the words of Cheng Junshou are very good, just leave this black guy to me!"

Guan Yu snorted slightly but didn't say much. Although he was dissatisfied with Cheng Xu's evaluation, he couldn't compete with his brother for credit.

Liu He was also uncertain about the strength of Ju Luohou, so he said to Guan and Zhang, "Yide goes to lead the battle, and Yun Chang goes out of the city to raid the battle. Remember to capture this man alive and enter the city, and don't chase and kill the enemy."

Zhang Fei patted his chest and said loudly: "My lord, don't worry, you don't need your second brother to do anything, I alone will be enough."

Guan Yu clasped his fists silently, and went down to the city with Zhang Fei. Even if Ju Luohou lost to Zhang Fei and fled, Guan Yu could catch up with Chituma.

Liu He believed that no one in the Xianbei army could stop the two brothers from joining forces.

Amidst the sound of the drums, Zhang Fei led the troops out of the city, put the men and horses aside, and shouted loudly: "The black man quickly dismounts and accepts the surrender, lest you, Grandpa Zhang, do it yourself."

Seeing that Zhang Fei was darker than him, Ju Luohou opened his eyes wide with anger, cursed loudly, and urged his horse to kill Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei moved forward with eight spears, and the two confronted each other. Both of them were good at strength, but Ju Luohou was still much weaker, and Zhang Fei flew the mace away before he could hit ten rounds.

Ju Luohou was sweating profusely after being killed. He fell on his horse in panic and retreated to the main formation. Zhang Fei followed.

If Liu He hadn't wanted him to be captured alive, he would have stabbed this guy to death just now, flanked him from behind, grabbed Ju Luohou's belt with a roar, and lifted him up from the horse.

The Xianbei army watching the battle was shocked, and several people rushed to rescue them, but they saw a red light flashing in front of their eyes, but it was Guan Yu who urged his horse to come, and the green dragon knife swept across, cutting off the two men at the waist.

Although the Xianbei army was brutal, they had never seen such a bloody scene before. They fled in panic and panic. Guan Yu immediately glanced coldly with his sword and did not pursue it. It was not until Zhang Fei arrived at the city that he led his troops back to the city.
