Chapter 448
At the end of March, Budugen, the master of Xianbei in the west, sent troops from the surrendered city to violate Wuyuan and Yunzhong.

Wuyuan prefect Wang Zhi ordered the border residents to retreat into the city, and the border troops entered the city to defend the city. .

Budugen sent troops to invade the border this time, and the leader also wanted to test the new army, so he sent Murong Deng to help Budugen. People learn the etiquette and system of the Han people, and the most important thing is the Han people's warfare.

Budugen used his vanguard to approach Xi'anyang, Chengyi, and Yiliang counties in Wuyuan County, and ordered the Tuoba tribe of the Western Xianbei to march from the cloud.

Murong Deng's troops were mainly cavalry, and the cavalry could attack the city when they dismounted. The county magistrate of Xi'an Yang was caught off guard by the Xianbei people, and Xi'an Yang fell.

Immediately, several counties in Chengyi and Yiliang were also destroyed, and most of Wuyuan County fell into the hands of Xianbei for a while. Wuyuan prefect Wang Zhi was in a hurry and quickly invited Gao Shun to discuss.

Gao Shun held back for a long time, and said: "I'd like to ask all the cities to defend the cities, prepare more supplies for the defense, and move some small cities to the big cities nearby. I want Xianbei to attack on a large scale, and I won't attack one city at a time. I wait for the lord's army to come to rescue me." .”

Wang Zhi is only a Confucian scholar, his internal affairs are okay, and he has nothing to say about fighting and defending the city, but it would be really embarrassing for him to make suggestions.

"it is good."

Compared with Murong Deng's Lien Chan and Lian Ke, Tuo Baji was not so lucky. First, he encountered a bad nose in Wuquan and Beiyu, and then encountered the reinforcements brought by the prefect of Yunzhong in Huangganshui, and forced his way across the desert. Lost a lot of men and horses in the water.

Tuoba had to choose another place to cross the river. After crossing the dry water, the prefect of Yunzhong led his troops to retreat into Yuanyang. Tuoba led his troops to attack Yunzhong. But he fell into an ambush by Tuoba, killed himself and wiped out the whole army.

Tuoba took advantage of the situation to surround Yunzhong, and the northern border of Bingzhou was in danger for a while. Seeing Budugen's aggressive offensive, the leader was ready to move, but he hadn't fought with the Lucheng army. It is only a matter of time before Bu Dugen wins against Lu Chengjun once, then he will dare to lead all the Xianbei to go south, from Shanggu and Daijun to Bingzhou, and he can also push all the responsibility to Yuan Shao.

The news of Yunzhong's prefect's defeat spread to Jinyang, and Liu Bei had no leisure to deal with other matters. He called Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Zuo Yuan, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Liu He and others overnight to discuss the matter of dispatching troops. No objection.

Jian Yongdao: "The [-] recruits recruited last year after their triumphant return from Hedong, my lord has ordered them to go home on vacation in turn. Although people have been sent to recall them, there are still less than [-] recruits in the barracks."

Guo Jiadao: "Xianbei has more cavalry, and no amount of infantry will help. Only by leading the cavalry to fight against it can we win."

With Guo Jia's series of training in Hedong, Guo Jia has a deep understanding of the combat power of the Lucheng Army, so he believes that Liu Bei's previous record against the Xianbei cavalry is certain but not bragging.

Xun Yu said: "The problem of insufficient food and grass is still obvious, so I also agree with the Lord to send cavalry to fight."

"How are the war welfare coupons sold?"

Liu Bei turned to ask Liu He, Liu He said: "It's sold well, thousands of copies have been sold, all kinds of materials are piled up in Jinyang's large and small warehouses, but there is not enough food."

"It seems that the gentry are still rich!"

Liu Bei said with emotion.

Liu He shook his head: "The nobles don't buy much, most of them are merchants and farmers, so there is not much food."

"It is easier for cavalry to go to Wuyuan than infantry, and they are more mobile."

Zuo Yuan was afraid that Liu Bei would turn his anger on the Jinyang gentry and hurriedly changed the subject, because Jiexiu Guo didn't buy it, because some people thought it was a way for Liu Bei to collect money, and a piece of paper was like buying their supplies worth tens of thousands of dollars.

But depending on how much Liu Bei attaches importance to, go back and ask people to buy more than a dozen of them.

Liu Bei nodded, then turned to ask Xi Zhicai: "How many cavalry are there in Jinyang now?"

Xi Zhicai said: "There are two thousand cavalry in the Baimao army, two thousand cavalry in the scout guards, three thousand cavalry in Zhao Yun's department (expanded by one thousand), one cavalry battalion in Huangxu's department (over two thousand), and 2000 in Zhang Fei's department. One thousand cavalry, and another three thousand cavalry were trained in Jin, and Zhang Yan in Montenegro also sent four thousand cavalry to help out, so the total number of cavalry is less than [-]."

Infantry is easy to train. After half a year of training, they will be elite after a few battles, and they will be strong if they have good armor, but cavalry is not.

Liu Bei has been around for so many years, but he hasn't saved enough [-] elite cavalry, and more than half of them are recruits, which shows the difficulty of cavalry.

"How about armor?"

Xi Zhicai said: "They are all fully equipped. Your lord has ordered Jia Zhonglang to recruit [-] Hun cavalry. Jia Zhonglang has already recruited."

"Okay, let's set off on another day."

As soon as the military order was issued, the whole of Jinyang was in a hurry. The horseshoes of the war horses in the Longshan camp were re-checked, and the new-style high bridge saddles and double iron stirrups were pressed on. Depart from Wuyuan, Yanmen.

A large number of merchant caravans were forcibly recruited by Jinyang, of course it was not free, so the merchants were not so resentful, after all, they still made money, and they were probably the first to be stabbed when Xianbei came.

There is a team of soldiers standing in front of the Yingying Building. Since the sending team arrived in Jinyang, they have been living in the Yingying Building. Only then did Jinyang people know that the Yingying Building belongs to Liu Bei. They thought it was Wang Yue.

Liu Bei let him go several times. He thought that Wang Yue, who had an injured arm, would be killed. Liu Bei also had this idea, but seeing Wang Yue's decadent stay in the prison, Liu Bei felt compassion again. Sword masters are useless people.

After Wang Yue was treated by a doctor, his arm was not saved in the end, but his physical strength recovered well. As he developed his left hand, he regained his vigor. With Liu Bei's support, he opened the Hero Tower in Jinyang and helped Xi Zhicai train assassins.

Since the send-off team came to Jinyang, the Hero Building no longer accepts guests. The attendants in the Hero Building are all swordsmen trained by Wang Yue himself, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach the Hero Building.

A new-style carriage suddenly appeared in front of the Hero Building. The highlight is that the two horses pulling the carriage are rare horses.

Then a young man in a brocade robe stepped down from the carriage. The young man folded his sleeves with his hands, and his big ears looked extraordinarily large.

The soldier in front of the door saw the young man straightening up involuntarily, and his spirit was extraordinarily bright. The young man in brocade robe strode into the Hero Building.

Wang Yue went out to greet him in person. Seeing the young man in brocade robe, Wang Yue hurriedly saluted and said, "Yue has seen the lord."

"Master Wang has worked hard!"

That young man in brocade robe is Liu Bei.
