Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 571 Zhao Yun's Trouble

Youzhou, Daijun, Guangning.

It has been more than a month since Lu Bu, Chen Gong, and Ma Chao left, and the battle reports from the front continue to come in. Ma Chao broke through Juyong Pass and made another contribution. Counting Ma Cheng and Guangning, Ma Chao has already broken three passes in a row with the army this time. It is a great credit.

Zhao Yun wasn't envious either. Since the teacher arranged himself in the rear, it made sense, especially in the past few days, Tan Ma, who was in charge of the investigation, noticed some movement in Xianbei in the north.

Before I knew it, it was another autumn.

Looking at the dead branches and fallen leaves in the courtyard, Zhao Yun felt a lot of emotion. It seemed that it was late autumn when he left Youzhou a few years ago, after General Gongsun died in battle.

After that, Zhao Yun traveled around the world until he went to Xuchang and entered the Hall of Strange People, where he was accepted as a disciple by his teacher. He almost forgot that every autumn is the time when barbarians go south to loot most frequently.

During the spring and summer, the herdsmen on the grassland live by water and grass. This period is also a period of recuperation for the people of Youzhou. Not to mention that there are no Hu people who went south to plunder.

But in autumn and winter, the vegetation on the grassland will wither, and there will be very little food for cattle, sheep and horses. If you don’t save enough food and grass for the winter, many Hu people will freeze to death in one winter, so most Hu people will look to the Central Plains , Going south to plunder is also for living, and came to Youzhou to plunder property for the winter.

After experiencing spring and summer, this season is the harvest time. In the eyes of the barbarians, the people of the Central Plains at this time are like fat sheep. If you choose this time to plunder and go back alive, you will probably have a good winter.

As for the barbarians who died in battle, that is fate. Hurs in many places still believe in a certain god, thinking that death is just returning to the embrace of the god. Those people are often crazier than ordinary barbarians!
I just don't know how many Hu people will go south this winter!

In the past few years, the princes fought in chaos, and the barbarians went south more and more violently, especially after the death of General Gongsun. I only hope that this troubled world will end soon!
"General!" An official hurried in and saluted Zhao Yun, "Ning county urgent report!"

Ning County?

Zhao Yun quickly reached out to take the letter and opened it. Soon, his brows frowned slightly. After a while, he put away the letter and said, "Go and ask Mr. Liang Dao to come here."

Liang Dao, whose real name was Jia Kui, was the talent Guo Jia discovered in Hedong. A few days ago, he was transferred from Jinyang to Ning County by a transfer order from Chen Gong, and he gave Zhao Yun a letter, which he can use with confidence.

As for how to use it, Chen Gong didn't say anything, anyway, just use it with confidence.

Soon, a middle-aged man about 30 years old came in from the door, bowed to Zhao Yun and said, "Jia Kui, the next official, I have seen the general."

"Mr. Liang Dao, you don't need to be polite, take your seat!" Zhao Yun pointed to the position where he was going to strike and looked at Jia Kui.

"Thank you." Jia Kui sat down as he said.

"This is the report sent by the front-line scouts. Xianbei north of Ning County is gathering in large numbers." Zhao Yun handed a letter to Jia Kui and said.

After Jia Kui took it over and looked at it, he looked at Zhao Yun and said, "What is the general going to do?"

"Yun has carefully surveyed the terrain here these days. There are at least three gaps in the area of ​​Ning County that allow Hu people to enter here. If Xianbei people enter in large numbers, the people of Dai and Shanggu counties will be tortured." Zhao Yun said solemnly.

Jia Kui nodded, it was obvious.

"So, I'm going to take the initiative to attack, first to make him dare not look south." Zhao Yun looked at Jia Kui and said.

"The reason why the general asked me to come here..." Jia Kui looked at Zhao Yun and asked.

"The teacher said, I can rest assured that you can use the sir. I think the master has a great talent, so I can make the teacher so relieved." Zhao Yundao: "Now that Han Meng is looting our military food road everywhere, Macheng and Guangning are both important places. , In addition, Ning County also needs to stay in the garrison to prevent Xianbei people from entering, and now I have three thousand soldiers in my hand, I wonder how many soldiers Yun can bring if Mr. Liu is here?"

Hearing this, Jia Kui silently looked at the map.

Zhao Yun didn't rush, and waited quietly for his answer. After a long time, Jia Kui looked at Zhao Yun and said in a deep voice, "Two thousand five hundred!"

"So many?" Zhao Yun looked at Jia Kui in astonishment, 500 people guarding the three cities, this person really has the ability.

"I'm talking about...staying with 500 people." Jia Kui was startled, then shook his head and said, "Macheng has a convenient location, and 2000 people can hold it for a month. The main enemy of Ningxian County is Xianbei, and only a few buildings need to be built. Dangerous barriers can also prevent sporadic barbarians from going south, but if Han suddenly attacks, Guangning and Ning counties are not safe to defend. Both of these two places need heavy troops. [-] people are the minimum, and the general must guarantee that he can return in January. Otherwise, I can't guarantee it!"

Seeing that Jia Kui didn't talk nonsense, Zhao Yun was relieved. If he really wanted him to say that 500 people could defend the three cities, Zhao Yun would not believe it anyway, unless the leaders of your three cities are all at the level of Ma Chao, then maybe you can.

Zhao Yun had also thought about killing Han Meng before, but Han Meng never fought with him, he just ran around, grabbed food when he saw it, and ran away when he saw it. To specifically encircle and suppress him, there is nothing to do with him for a while.

After Jia Kui came, he set up beacon towers in various important places. Whenever the enemy appeared, he would set off beacon fires. Zhao Yun went to rescue him in time, which forced Han Meng to leave.

"But in this way, the general can only mobilize 500 people." Jia Kui looked at Zhao Yun and worried whether he could handle it.

"Five hundred..." Zhao Yun knew what he was worried about, nodded silently and said, "We have to try, even if we can't completely intercept it, we can still reduce some casualties."

"Actually, the general has another method," Jia Kui said.

"Sir, please tell me." Zhao Yun looked at Jia Kui.

"Don't pay attention to the Xianbei people. The grassland Hu people are not good at attacking cities. When they encounter heavy troops guarding a city, they usually don't take the initiative to attack. The general can just let him go. This matter is not within the scope of the general's responsibility."

Zhao Yun's task is to ensure the smooth flow of grain roads. Hu people go south to plunder, which happens every year. The people in the north have long been used to it. Most of the time when autumn and winter come, they either hide in the city or build their own cottages to resist.

"My lord is based on the people. Since we are officials here, how can we allow the Hulu to wreak havoc. Mr. was not born in the North, and I don't know the people in the North hate the Hu people. There is no need to say more about this, Mr. The teacher or the lord will be punished because of this, and it will not implicate the master." Zhao Yun said solemnly.

"General Gao Yi, I admire you!" Jia Kui laughed and said, "However, if the general can kill Han Meng before going out, there will be more soldiers who can be dispatched."

"Kill Han Meng?" Zhao Yun said with a wry smile, "I have chased and killed Han Meng several times before, but that Han Meng is as cunning as a fox, and he won't fight our army head-on at all. How can we kill him?"

"It was not possible before, but now there is a way." Jia Kui laughed.

"Oh?" Zhao Yun got up and said, "What's the master plan?"

"It's not a clever plan. In the battle of Juyongguan, four out of four of Hebei's four court pillars were lost. In addition, the general Lu Weihuang was also defeated at Juyongguan. Han Meng was a general under Yuan Shao's command. If the four court pillars were still there, it would be useless for Yuan Shao to send him out. It doesn't matter, but now that Yuan Shao has lost his troops and lost his generals, if he fails to attack Yecheng again, Han Meng must be recalled." Jia Kui laughed and said, "According to the general, Yuan Shao may attack Yecheng?"

"Yecheng is guarded by the lord himself, so I'm sure!" Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.

"Whether there is or not, Yuan Shao has no generals in his hands, but a He may not be enough, so Han Meng will definitely be recalled!" Jia Kui laughed.

"But I don't know when he will be called back." Zhao Yun shook his head.

The truth is this, but who knows when they will be recalled.

"So the general might as well hold off sending troops outside the Great Wall and wait for three days to find the place that must pass through. After three days, if there is no trace of Han Meng, the general will leave later, but if within three days, Han Meng can be found. , kill him, the general will have nothing to worry about." Jia Kui laughed.

In fact, if Yuan Shao recalled Han Meng, Zhao Yun would have nothing to worry about when he went to the grassland, but Zhao Yun needed to have a reassurance, otherwise as long as there was no news of Han Meng's departure, Zhao Yun would not be able to send more troops to the expedition.

Conversely, regardless of whether Han Meng can be killed or not, as long as it is confirmed that Han Meng has left here, Zhao Yun will be able to free up more soldiers and horses to deal with the barbarians. At that time, only Ning County will be guarded, but here, Jia Kui has Confidence until the barbarians starve to death!

Zhao Yun nodded silently, looked at the map and said, "Does the gentleman know where the ambush is?"

"From now on, the fastest way to get out is Juyongguan Pass, but now that Juyongguan Pass has been occupied by our army, Han Meng will never go here, so no matter where he goes, he will pass through here." Jia Kui pointed to a location on the map road.

"Ping Shu? Feihu Dao!?" Zhao Yun looked at the position Jia Kui was pointing at, and then suddenly said.

Feihu Road is also one of the Eight Xings of Taihang, and it is indeed the most suitable road outside Juyongguan.

Jia Kui laughed and said: "With the general's spirit, you can arrive in half a day. As for whether you can intercept and kill Han Meng, I don't know."

"Then I'll wait for him for three days!" Zhao Yun looked at the map for a while and said, "I will entrust you to Mr.

"Don't worry, general!" Jia Kui stood up and laughed.

At that moment, Zhao Yun led his soldiers and horses to fly all the way to Feihu Road. He has the talent of supernatural power, and with the secret of wind characters, it is much faster than ordinary generals to use the secret of wind characters. It only took less than half a day to arrive at Feihu Road, which is a coincidence However, Zhao Yun only arrived half a day before finding out that Han Meng was also nearby.

Yuan Shao wanted to recall Han Meng long before the Battle of Juyongguan, but at that time Juyongguan had been captured by Lu Bu, and they couldn't get in touch, so they left someone to contact Han Meng, and rushed back to join the main force as soon as possible. As a result, until recently, Yuan Shao sent The person who contacted Han Meng finally met Han Meng and told him about it.

After Han Meng got the order, he would naturally not stay here, just as Zhao Yun guessed, even if he didn't care, Han Meng would leave soon.

But since they met today, naturally they can't let him leave this place. During the past month, Han Meng has caused Zhao Yun a lot of trouble, and today is just the time to settle the grievances of both parties together.

At that moment, Zhao Yun led five hundred soldiers to block the crossing, waiting for Han Meng to come over!
