Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 378
Two days later, Han Sui and the Xiongnu Shanyu also left one after another, and all the teams left under the supervision of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

According to Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai's thinking, it is best not to have a war near the Hetao grassland. Whether it is the Northern Army's foreign or other tribes fighting each other, this is not conducive to the Northern Army's takeover of Hetao and the nearby grasslands.

As for other places, they can fight whatever they like. For example, in the central part of Xianbei, Helian is leading his army to annex some small tribes. .

After Ma Teng returned, he did not make any major moves. However, some spies reported that Ma Teng started to strengthen the army. Qi 3 troops.

The one who was most interested in this news was Han Sui. In the eyes of the world, Ma Teng was already seriously injured after the last defeat. A warlord who even lost his territory was no different from a tiger that lost its teeth.

Therefore, it is actually wise for Ma Teng to cut the soldiers and horses by himself, because it can reduce a lot of expenses. As for the recruitment of soldiers and horses, most of them are blown out, or they just want to recruit a group of death row prisoners. .

If it was in the past, Han Sui would probably think so, but after this meeting, Ma Teng obviously leaned against the big tree of the Northern Frontier Army, and Han Sui had to be careful, he didn't think Ma Teng did it just for the sake of Reduce military spending.

Who knows if there is any shadow of Gongsun Xu in it, who can guarantee that this is not Gongsun Xu's suggestion, even if Ma Teng's troops are reduced, what if there is assistance from the Northern Xinjiang Army?What if Ma Teng reached an agreement with Gongsun Xu?

In order to ensure the safety of the west, and at the same time intimidate the restless tribes nearby, Gongsun Xu's troops are temporarily stationed near the meeting place. He has no intention of sending troops to other tribes, but if he wants to withdraw , I am afraid it is not possible for the time being.

Although the army stayed, the training of the cavalry could not stop. Except for the selection of the forward army, which used combat as a substitute for training, the other troops were trained near the barracks. Among these troops, the most important ones were Huang Zhong's five Thousands of captive army cavalry came.

This is a unit composed entirely of desperadoes who have been abandoned by others. They have no friendship with other cavalry units of the Northern Frontier Army, and they even have a bit of a feud with the servants.

But these are not the point, the point is that they have also become part of the Northern Border Army.

This is something that the servants did not expect at all. This army is small in number and likes to cause trouble. There is no shortage of unruly people among them. Many generals don't understand what is the use of such a cavalry force. Could it be that they are allowed to take the lead? ?
Regarding this, Gongsun Xu didn't explain too much. As the commander of this army, Huang Zhong is now devoting himself to the training of this cavalry all day long.

He asked his own soldiers to select 5000 of the 600 people to practice riding and shooting by one person leading two people.As a member of the prairie cavalry, there is no shortage of sharpshooters among these people, but they are far worse than Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong has his own plan. He selected these 600 people to devote themselves to the training of riding and shooting.

In addition, the remaining cavalry was divided into two parts. Except for 500 people who were seeded as heavy cavalry, the rest were trained as light cavalry.Although there are only 5000 people, anyone with a discerning eye can see that these 5000 people include many cavalry arms.

These days Wen Chou helped Huang Zhong teach these people to practice spear and sword skills, while Xu Huang took the 500 people to practice the heavy cavalry's charge and attack technique. As for Huang Zhong himself, besides participating in the usual teaching, he would also occasionally Select some talented people from the cavalry to be incorporated into their own soldiers for training.

In short, after such a rebellious army received such intensive care, they gradually let go of their prejudices, and they also respected Gongsun Xu and Huang Zhong.

Except for Gongsun Xu, no one can bring them a way out. Regarding this point, everyone in the five thousand cavalry is very clear.They had received a lot of news at the beginning, because they were captured before, and their original tribal leaders were unwilling to buy them back, so there was obviously no need for them to exist.

The most tense thing on the grassland is food and grass. Most of the battles between tribes are for territory and food and grass. So once a tribe captures many captives and cannot handle them properly, the fate of these captives is to be killed. kill.

This is an unwritten rule on the grassland. No one has stood up to oppose it, and no one will oppose it.Therefore, these captives felt that they were going to die after being abandoned, but they didn't want to, Gongsun Xu finally gave them a chance to survive.

They have become soldiers again, and they are still under the command of the number one brave general in northern Xinjiang, which can be regarded as a great honor.

At this time, Huang Zhong was watching the training of the cavalry on the high platform. Teams of cavalry practiced fighting with each other. The 600 cavalry practicing cavalry and archery were now facing off against the [-] forward soldiers. Both sides mainly used bows and arrows. Kill the enemy, but these days, these [-] people have not won a single time. For this reason, Huang Zhong had to reduce the number of selected front troops from six hundred to four hundred. If they still can't win now, then the selection of front troops The number of people has to continue to decrease.

Huang Xu came over on his horse. He walked up to Huang Zhong and said, "Father, these 600 people don't seem to be able to do it. Let them compete with the Xuanfeng Army for riding, shooting and chasing. Isn't this purely seeking abuse? This is famous in our northern border army, and I am afraid that only the white robe army can compete with it."

"Hehe, of course I know this truth." Huang Zhong smiled with his eyes narrowed, "However, these people's tempers still need to be tempered, and they can't be dragged if they think they crawled out of the dead.

The elites of our northern border army are not used to seeing blood and dead people. As they are now, they can still be dragged up one by one. They are really ignorant. Such an army is not easy to command, and they might not be able to go to the battlefield. After winning two games, I will be proud and underestimate the enemy, and I cannot escape the end of the entire army being wiped out. That's why I asked the lord to come and choose a striker to beat them. "

Huang Xu nodded, since the lord gave his father this task, his father devoted himself to the training of this army. It seems that his father still put a lot of thought into the six hundred horse archers .

"What are you doing standing there, what happened to the matter I asked you to inquire about?" Huang Zhong asked, stroking his beard.

"I just came back from the subjective side. The main point is discussing the military situation with the two military advisers in the tent. It seems that it is almost the same. We can just catch up with them to finish." Huang Xu replied with a smile: "But I just saw General Gao Shun's deputy general, but I don't know if General Gao also has something to ask the Lord."

"Oh, forget it, I can't control that much anymore, and Zheng Fang shouldn't have a big deal. I will lead the army to Liaodong in five days. If I don't say anything at this time, I'm afraid this matter will have to be delayed for three to five years. Relying on you bastard can't make things happen, no matter, now we father and son will go there."

"Hey, okay, let's go to the lord now, and the lord will definitely agree."

After nearly a stick of incense, Huang Zhong and his son came outside Gongsunxu's tent, and the soldiers outside the tent went in to report and immediately invited Huang Zhong and his son to go in.

As soon as he entered the account, Huang Zhong saw Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai rolling up the map. It seemed that they had almost discussed their matters, and it was really the right time for him to come.

Gongsun Xu waved to Huang Zhong and said, "Han Sheng is here. I was just about to talk to you about the five thousand cavalry. How is the training going? In five days you will lead them out. Now What's the problem?"

"Returning to my lord, there is no problem. These 5000 people were originally elite soldiers and warriors, but they lacked battle training. Moreover, these people are not convinced by each other, but please rest assured, my lord. Submissive."

"Hehe, of course, I am the number one brave general in northern Xinjiang as their commander-in-chief. Who dares to refuse to accept it. Han Sheng can do it defensively. You have the right to decide the life and death of these 5000 people. If there are really thorns who are disobedient, kill them directly." That’s right, now is not the time to hesitate.”

"The final general understands, and the final general will definitely live up to the lord's entrustment."

"Well, I don't worry if you do things. Besides, there is nothing else to say no to. Han Sheng is here now, probably he is here to report these things to me."

"Hehe, uh, there is indeed something wrong with the last general, hehe,,,,,,"

Seeing Huang Zhong like this, Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai immediately understood. When they both stood up and saluted Gongsun Xu to leave, they heard a soldier walk in and say, "My lord, General Gao Shun and General Zhao Yun are begging to see you." .”

"Oh? Why did you choose this time to come over and let them in. Today is a coincidence. After finally having some time, you all got together, hehehe."

After Gao Shun and Zhao Yun came in, they saluted Gongsun Xu first, and then nodded to the others. Gongsun Xu looked at Gao Shun with an unnatural expression, but he couldn't see anything important, so Gongsun Xu tried Sexually asked: "Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Yun bowed his head and said nothing, but Gao Shun nodded and replied, "Um, um, I have something to do, this, private matter..."

Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu looked at each other and then both smiled. This Gao Shun spoke very directly. If it is not clear, they should leave first. When Jia Xu and Jia Xu were about to leave, Gongsun Xu said with a smile. : "Han Sheng also happened to have something to do, it's a coincidence for you, hehe, if you have something to say, you are all on your own, so why not be shy."

After Huang Zhong glanced at Gao Shun, he also murmured in his heart: "This Gao Shun, why did he choose this time to come here?"

As everyone knows, Gao Shun, who was looking at Huang Zhong at this moment, also had the same thought in his mind.

Huang Zhong glanced at Gao Shun and said, "Then, why don't you tell me first, I'm not in a hurry."

"It's better for you to talk about it first. This is a private matter for me, so it's hard to say."

When the two were communicating, Zhao Yun and Huang Xu next to them felt a little unnatural, as if something embarrassing had happened.
