The Three Kingdoms: Rise to Power Starting with Intercepting Liu Bei

"The Three Kingdoms: Rise from Hijacking Liu Bei" - Stunning writing style and a thrilling plot!

Jinling.

Qin Xuan was inspecting a newly built school in the city, which was one of the largest in Jinling.

Ever since the capital was moved, the idea of ​​planning a school district for student enrollment has been in mind.

After several months of extensive construction, four schools capable of accommodating hundreds of students have been built, divided into four categories according to the focus of the subjects taught: craftsmanship, medicine, administration, and literature.

Children aged ten and above were specifically enrolled for schooling, with the government covering 70% of the expenses and the remaining costs borne by the individual family.

Qin Xuan was inspecting the medical academy, which was headed by Hua Tuo.

"Hua Daren, what's the enrollment situation at the Medical Academy? How long does it take to graduate?"

As Qin Xuan strolled through the school, he asked Hua Tuo, who was accompanying him, questions.

"Sir, the academy has only enrolled thirteen students so far, eight of whom are girls. It will take them at least another year and a half to complete their apprenticeship!"

After careful consideration, Hua Tuo gave a safe timeframe. The enrollment situation of the medical school he was in charge of was different from other schools. It almost exclusively recruited people with a foundation in medicine, and they were all over twenty years old.

It's similar in nature to a continuing education or training course.

"So long?" Qin Xuan muttered subconsciously, which Hua Tuo, who was standing nearby, misunderstood. Thinking Qin Xuan was dissatisfied with his work, Hua Tuo quickly explained:

"This is a matter of life and death; their studies cannot be taken lightly or carelessly. A year is actually quite fast!"

These thirteen people were personally selected and accepted by Hua Tuo. His recruitment standards were extremely strict; otherwise, the number would have been far greater.

Qin Xuan realized what was happening and quickly tried to comfort him:

"Don't worry, everyone. Just continue teaching as planned. My idea is that this group of students will stay here to teach after they graduate. We need to expand the next batch of students; the number is still too small!"

Qin Xuan was somewhat dissatisfied with the development of the medical school. If it followed Hua Tuo's recruitment standards, when would it be able to be deployed to the front-line troops?

Wasn't the purpose of opening this medical school to recruit a large number of military doctors?

"Yes, I'll do whatever you say!"

Hua Tuo immediately noted it down.

The two walked around the school a few more times, and after giving some instructions, Qin Xuan hurriedly went to the next school. His main purpose today was to inspect the development of the school.

But as Qin Xuan stepped out of the medical school and prepared to walk to his next destination, he caught a glimpse of Meng Guang rushing over in a hurry, looking tense, as if he had something important to report.

"What is it?"

"Young master, an urgent report from Youzhou! Please take a look!"

Meng Guang approached Qin Xuan and pulled out a book bearing the anti-counterfeiting mark of the Black Ice Platform from his sleeve.

Qin Xuan took it and quickly opened it to look through it. He frowned and looked serious after only a couple of glances.

"Notify Li Jing of Qingzhou that Xue Rengui's naval forces are advancing by land and water to transport all provisions and weapons to the front lines in Youzhou. Xue Rengui of Yuzhou is to immediately dispatch troops to reinforce the front lines. The nomadic tribes on the grasslands are about to wage war against us!"

The contents of the book made him somewhat uneasy. The anti-Qin coalition had only withdrawn a short time ago, yet the northern grasslands were already stirring again, and the shadows of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were also present.

Thinking of these two, Qin Xuan added another sentence;

"Make sure the Black Ice Guard uses whatever means necessary and spares no expense to assassinate Zhuge Liang."

Furthermore, let Liu Bowen of Jingzhou lead troops to annihilate Liu Bei and eliminate all future troubles!

After saying this, he slapped the book in his hand against Meng Guang's chest, strode away from where he stood, and the surrounding Snow Dragon Rider guards hurriedly followed.

Meng Guang had never seen Qin Xuan issue such a ruthless assassination order before. He quickly checked the contents of the scroll and breathed a sigh of relief after several seconds. He finally understood why Qin Xuan was so angry. This Liu Bei was really good at causing trouble. He actually approached the nomadic tribes in the north, wanting to unite with them to invade the south.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that a big man like him could offend people, and Meng Guang felt it was necessary to add fuel to the fire.

··················

After a four- or five-day march, Yue Fei led his army to a brief rest at Pingcheng in Yanmen before deciding to launch a surprise attack.

After preliminary reconnaissance by scouts and the Black Ice Guard, Yue Fei had already grasped the troop deployment of Kebineng near Gaoliu.

Kebineng deployed 30,000 troops near the royal court of Gaoliu, of which 10,000 were deployed at Danhan Mountain, hundreds of miles away from Gaoliu, and 10,000 were deployed in the Macheng area east of Gaoliu.

They only had 10,000 guards to face.

While the two sides appear to be evenly matched, this is not actually the case. After Yu Yunwen leaves, Kebineng will inevitably inform Zhuge Liang of this news. They have probably already made preparations, and the information obtained from previous reconnaissance may even be false.

Yue Fei hesitated for a while, unsure whether to continue, but ultimately went ahead after being persuaded by his subordinates.

The reason lies in what my subordinate said: "Our Beiwei cavalry has never experienced large-scale warfare. If we back down, we will be laughed at by our colleagues, and even you, General, will be criticized."

The reason lies in what my subordinate said: "Our Beiwei cavalry has never experienced large-scale warfare. If we back down, we will be laughed at by our colleagues, and even you, General, will be criticized."

Provoked by this, Yue Fei's impulse overcame his reason, and he continued the attack, earning himself and his army a great reputation.

Although Yue Fei had never met his colleagues of the same rank, the news that he took office in Youzhou and commanded a large army still surprised many people and even aroused their jealousy.

Inevitably, some rumors circulated within the military, especially among local generals and strategists.

Now that I finally have this opportunity to prove myself, how could I let it slip away so easily?

Yue Fei immediately ordered his 10,000 cavalry to be divided into three parts: one part of 3,000 men would feign an attack on Gaoliu to probe the movement of the enemy's main force; another part of 3,000 men would launch a frontal assault; and the rest would serve as reserves to provide support five miles away.

In this battle, Yue Fei did not intend to completely eliminate Kebineng. His main purpose was to test the enemy and see how many tribes Zhuge Liang had united.

As the sun set, smoke rose from chimneys around the royal court of Gaoliu, as if nothing had happened.

The tribespeople boiled water and cooked meat as usual, preparing for their meal.

"Boom—!"

But just then, a deafening roar shook the earth, causing the ground beneath their feet to tremble violently. Everyone was stunned and bewildered.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! It's cavalry!"

Some reacted quickly, shouting at the top of their lungs as they ran towards their tents, grabbed their scimitars, donned their leather armor, and mounted their horses in one swift motion, transforming into Xianbei warriors who galloped towards the sound of their voices.

As men who grew up on horseback, they could switch roles in the shortest time: civilians in peacetime and soldiers in wartime. They had honed their superb horsemanship from a young age and could lead a considerable number of fierce and brave cavalry.

In less than a few tens of minutes, the entire tribe transformed into an iron cavalry and galloped toward the direction from which the sound came, leaving behind only pots of delicious mutton with a tantalizing aroma.

Holding the Liquan Spear and wearing black chainmail, Yue Fei rode his swift and fierce red-blooded steed, leading the feint attack troops at breakneck speed.

When he saw the Xianbei people making their movements from afar, he couldn't help but be secretly amazed.

The enemy's efficiency was indeed extraordinary, faster than he had imagined. A large number of cavalrymen brandished their scimitars, uttering strange cries, and swarmed forward on horseback.

"Soldiers, today is the battle to prove the might of our Beiwei Army! Charge with me and forge your glorious name! Kill!"

Yue Fei led the charge, followed by three thousand iron cavalrymen armed with bows and crossbows, launching a long-range attack. A dense barrage of crossbow bolts rained down from the sky, killing many Xianbei cavalrymen in the first volley.
