Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 469 Four Armies
Although Liu He was in charge of the government now, Emperor Xian was still the emperor after all. When he got angry, no one spoke anymore.

"Let the general take care of the quelling of the rebellion."

Emperor Xian spoke hurriedly.

"The minister obeys the order."

"Alright, alright, General, do you have anything else to say?"

Liu He couldn't help but frown when he heard Emperor Xian's tone which was obviously filled with impatience.

But he didn't take it seriously. Children are moody and he wouldn't bother with them.

"I am fine now."

Upon hearing what he said, Emperor Xian jumped off the throne.

"The court is dismissed..."

Outside the palace, Yang Biao, Cui Lie, Wang Yun, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun came to Liu He's side.

"Your Majesty seems to be in an abnormal mood today. I don't know why."

"Not just today, I think your Majesty's attitude towards government affairs, or towards the general, is getting worse day by day. I'm afraid it's not a good sign."

Liu He didn't take it seriously: "Your Majesty is still young after all, and he just wanted to play for a while. We urge him to go to court every day, so it's understandable that he feels resentful. Don't take it seriously."

"Well, I hope so."

At this time, Yang Biao said: "Since the death of the Ten Eunuchs, the eunuchs in the palace are all former eunuchs and those newly recruited into the palace. I think it would be best for the general to train and win over a group of eunuchs he has trusted so that he can control the details of the palace."

"Yes, the commander is right." Everyone agreed.

"eunuch?"

When this matter was mentioned, Liu He couldn't help but feel a little awkward. From his previous life to now, he had a bad impression of eunuchs, especially the eunuchs of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who had a very bad reputation. Coupled with the physiological defects of eunuchs, Liu He couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when he thought about it.

However, Yang Biao's suggestion was not without reason. His control over the court was still a little weak.

Liu He thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll discuss this matter after I return from suppressing the rebellion."

"Well, now that the Hu people have risen up again, and so unexpectedly, there may be someone behind this, so the general should be careful when he goes out to fight. In my humble opinion, the key to the general's trip lies in one word."

"Oh? One word? Please enlighten me, Commander."

"Hurry! The sooner the better. If you delay, something unexpected will happen."

Liu He seemed to understand something.

"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Commander."

In a wilderness of Hedong County, teams of cavalry were galloping at full speed.

"General Guan, this time our Purple Gold Dragon Riders are truly fighting alone, which shows the Lord's trust in our army. We brothers are looking forward to gaining something and making great achievements in this battle."

Channing shouted excitedly.

"Big brother has entrusted me with such an important task, so we must do our best and not bring shame to you and the court."

Guan Yu stared ahead with his eyes, and in his eyes there was a look of looking down upon the world.

Zhang Liao heard their conversation and caught up with them.

"General Guan, the Kebi Neng tribe is the lowest among the four Xianbei tribes. Using our 20,000 heavily-armored cavalry to deal with them is like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken. I request that I lead 5,000 cavalry as the vanguard, break into the grassland, find out where the Kebi Neng tribe is, take their heads, and then come to see you."

Seeing that Zhang Liao had volunteered, the other generals were unwilling to lag behind.

"General Zhou Yuan requests that only 4,000 soldiers and horses be sufficient!"

"General Qin Chu only needs 3,000 soldiers!" "General..."

Guan Yu pretended to be displeased and glanced at them.

"Don't make a fuss, this is a matter of great importance to the court. Big brother used the Flying Eagle Guard to investigate Kebi Neng's tribe, and has already grasped his general movements. Now his tribe has about 25,000 to 26,000 cavalry. In addition, this man is different from Qian Man and others. Kebi Neng has learned a lot of our Han Chinese military tactics, and there are also naturalized Han soldiers in his tribe. With this, he has formed 15,000 to 16,000 infantry and 3,000 to 4,000 archers. Don't underestimate him."

Although he said this, there was no sign of seriousness in his expression or eyes.

Qian Ning said: "General, the journey to Mobei is still long, and it will not be possible to arrive in three or five days. It is better to order each general to lead a team of soldiers and horses, and march separately, and agree to meet in Pingcheng County, Yanmen County in ten days. The first one to arrive will be awarded a merit, which will also boost the morale of each unit."

After he said this, Zhang Liao and others cast eager glances at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu hesitated for a moment.

"Well, that's fine, but I have to make it clear that those who arrive early must not act rashly. If anyone underestimates the enemy and advances rashly, resulting in casualties, they will be severely punished!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Zhang Liao and others were all smiling happily.

"You guys..."

Guan Yu couldn't help but laugh and curse.

"Okay, Zhang Liao, Zhou Yuan, Qin Chu, Yan Quan, the four of you will lead 3,000 soldiers each, and Qian Ning will follow me to lead the main force."

"Here!"

Zhang Liao and his two companions were overjoyed. They gathered their 4,000 soldiers and horses, and ran out like wild horses.

"This group of young people are full of energy, which is good. Although Guan is thirty years old this year, he cannot lose this battle. Zijing, are you ready?"

Qian Ning suppressed his excitement and said, "General, I am always ready to charge with you!"

"Okay! Pass the order down, march day and night without stopping, and rush to Xiucheng, the boundary of Taiyuan County, by tomorrow evening to rest and recuperate!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Almost at the same time, four armies set out from Luoyang City and headed in different directions.

Guan Yu led his troops to Yanmen.

Zhang Yong and Zhu Ye led their troops to Weiwu County in Liangzhou.

Gao Shun led his troops to Beidi County in Liangzhou.

Liu He himself led his army directly into Shangjun, the westernmost county of Bingzhou.

The four armies were powerful and their military songs were loud along the way. Within a few days, the news spread throughout the world.

Just four days after the four armies set out from Luoyang City, in Yecheng, Weijun, at the residence of the "Jizhou Mu".

Yuan Shao was so excited that he almost danced with joy.

"Liu He has really fallen into the trap! If this succeeds, you will be the first to take the credit!"

Guo Tu stood up to express his gratitude, smiling so hard that the flesh on his face almost got squeezed into a pile.

"My lord, now Guan Yu is leading 20,000 troops out of Yanmen to deal with Kebineng, Gao Shun is leading 10,000 troops to Beidi County to guard against the Xiongnu cavalry moving south, Zhang Yong is leading 10,000 troops and Zhu Ye is leading 500 cavalry to Weiwu County to join Ma Teng to deal with the Qiang people, and Liu He is leading 5,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry to prepare to march west from Shang County to attack the Xiongnu Zuoxian King."

"With 60,000 troops marching out at once, Liu He's elite divisions, almost all of them, are moving out. Although the remaining troops are numerous, they are divided to guard the city passes, and most of them are surrendered soldiers, so there is really no need to worry. My lord now has 100,000 troops in his hands, with flags pointing westward, and he will go straight to Liu He's home base in Bingzhou. We can decide the outcome of the battle in one battle!"

Guo Tu's words made Yuan Shao's blood boil.

"Gong Ze's words are very much in line with my heart! I have made up my mind to lead the army to attack Bingzhou. Today, I summoned you all here to discuss the strategy of the attack. If you have any good ideas, please tell us quickly. The army will express their opinions, regardless of right or wrong."
