Chapter 354 Hu Che'er goes south for emergency

Because the Han army replaced the Huang Xuan tribe's people to guard Linrong, Woye and Guangmu and other cities, Hu Cheer quickly selected 20,000 string control men from the tribe. After preliminary reorganization, he led this group of people to Baitu, which is the area where the tribes that formed the Huang Xuan tribe settled in that year.

When they arrived at Baitu, Hu Cheer's tribe members would undergo dressing and brief training, and then continued to go south to Fushi, joining with 20,000 cavalry led by Lu Bu and Guan Yu, and finally broke up the 20,000 tribes and expanded into the Flying Tiger Army and Canglang Army, causing the number of these two cavalry units to double.

The young and Zhuang people of the Huangxuan tribe lived on horseback since childhood. In order to resist the annexation and invasion from other nomadic peoples, everyone had to learn archery and horse warfare. Like the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei people, they were born with cavalry seedlings and did not require too much training to have considerable combat power.

In order to give full play to the role of these 20,000 people, Zhao Xing made the decision to expand the Flying Tiger Army and the Canglang Army. Although the temporary expansion will reduce the average combat power of the two cavalry troops, there are obvious benefits to do so, that is, the Huangxuan cavalry can exert its maximum combat power in the shortest time, which is crucial for the Western Front War with a tight source of troops.

At present, on the western front battlefield of Bingzhou, Zhao Xing invested a total of 64,000 troops, namely 14,000 vanguard troops, Flying Tiger Army, Canglang Army, Xiongwu Army, and Dingyuan Army. Among them, 20,000 people of Flying Tiger Army and Canglang Army are in the Fushi area in Shangjun, and are confronting the 20,000 people of Gaolan across the Qiangmashui; 10,000 people of Xiongjia were stationed in Xiliuzhuang, the southwest corner of Xihe County; and the troops guarding the base camp are only 34,000!

With the 20,000 cavalrymen who were urgently supported by Hu Cheer, there were 40,000 troops in the Zhenbei Legion in the Fushi area. If the plan was right and a sudden attack from the fire was taken, Gao Lan would probably not have time to run back to Gao Nu, and he might be hit by the combined attack of Guan Yu and Lu Bu.

After arriving in Baitu, Qin Yilu, who was responsible for logistics equipment support, was already waiting here. Qin Yilu brought standard saddles, stirrups, horseshoes, sabers, light armor and crossbows to the 20,000 cavalry. The Huang Xuan tribe, who had excellent combat power, immediately rose by two levels after such complete arming, and was not far from the most elite Xiliang cavalry under Dong Zhuo.

Although the war on the Western Front was tense and was at risk of breaking out, Zhao Xing still ordered Hu Cheer to station 20,000 people in the Baitu area, and he had to go through formal pre-war training before he could finally join the battle group. Zhao Xing naturally had his own considerations for doing this. Although the Huang Xuan tribe's people had considerable combat power, they were rude and did not like to be restrained. When they went to the battlefield, they were prone to personal heroism. They regarded military discipline and regulations as if they were nothing, which may cause unpredictable problems.

The instructors who came to train the Huangxuan tribe were selected from the middle-level officers below the Flying Tiger Army and the Canglang Army. They all had rich combat experience and had strong ability to lead troops. The Huangxuan tribe who were responsible for training was likely to be the soldiers they were going to command, so everyone worked very hard.

During the training period of 20,000 Huangxuan tribes, the battlefield situation on the entire western front underwent some local changes. Lu Zhi, who had originally remained unmoved, suddenly ordered the army to set out towards Fushi City, located in the north of Shangjun. He marched a hundred miles in a few days, only forty miles away from Gaolanyi, which was ahead.

So what is the ulterior motive and secret of Lu Zhi doing this? In fact, Lu Zhi only had a premonition that Gao Lan led the cavalry away from the central army and was likely to suffer a serious defeat by the Feilang and Feixiong armies under Dong Zhuo, so he made his army closer to Gao Lan, which was also considered to be a relief. If the 20,000 Yue Knights led by Gao Lan were made into dumplings, the losses would be all the elites under him, Lu Zhi.

When Lu Zhi moved, Xu Shu immediately received the news, but he was not in a hurry to evacuate the 10,000 Xiong Ju troops from Xiliuzhuang. Instead, he focused on building defensive fortifications. Lu Bu and Guan Yu, who had been calculating Gao Lan, heard his subordinates report that they were moving towards the Qiangmashui area, and canceled the combat plan against Gao Lan's 20,000 cavalry and waited for Hu Cheer to lead his tribe members to meet. With 40,000 people moving in the Fushi area, Lu Bu and Guan Yu would not be afraid of Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song's 200,000 troops.

Zhao Xing, who had just received the news that Hu Cheer led his army south, had not had time to be happy for a few days, suddenly received military information from the Shadow Team members who were urgently conveying back from the northern grassland. The information showed that a large-scale Xianbei people were found five hundred miles north of the Sujiang City, and the target seemed to be Shuofang and Wuyuan. Zhao Xing's faint uneasiness finally became a reality. The harsh situation of being attacked from both sides and behind him still happened uncontrollably.

In the face of difficulties, Zhao Xing has always become more and more brave. When he learned that Kuitou, who had been hiding for seven years, was finally going south. Zhao Xing immediately notified Hu Chuquan and Li Tiezhu, who were responsible for defending the north, and issued an emergency recruitment order to recruit 50,000 reserve troops throughout Bingzhou. The current 50,000 reserve troops were all converted into formal troops, and 30,000 of them were dispatched to urgently go north to defend the front line of the Great Wall.

In order to defend the invasion of the Xianbei people in the north, after consultation by the base, the northern sub-district of the Zhenbei Army was temporarily established, and Xu Huang was appointed as the supreme military commander and Tian Feng was appointed as the military advisor. The two rushed to Wuyuan to take office. Li Tiezhu, Hu Chuquan, Wuanguo and others were responsible for the specific defense of Shuofang, Wuyuan and Yunzhong counties, each of which was assigned 10,000 emergency original reserve troops in the north.

After making these arrangements, Zhao Xing wrote a letter to Liu Yu from Jinyang, discussing to second the staff of Qi Zhou, Yan Rou, Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin in the Bingzhou Palace to assist the Zhenbei Army in the defensive work of Yanmen County and Dingxiang County. Zhao Xing believed that in the case of foreign invasion, Liu Yu could still weigh the priorities of the matter and not deliberately make things difficult for him in this matter. With the abilities of Yan Rou, Xian Yufu and others, if they really do things for Bingzhou, they would definitely maintain peace in the northeastern counties of Bingzhou.

A wise man will make a mistake. Although Zhao Xing carefully analyzed all the difficulties and dangers he could think of, he still missed the Liaoxi Xianbei located in the northeast of Yanmen County, Bingzhou, and Zhang Yan, a bandit entrenched in the Black Mountains. Now the troops in the northern part of Bingzhou are mainly gathered in the Wuyuan area, and Yanmen County and Dingxiang County in the northeast are empty. Once they are besieged by the enemy, the situation will take a sharp turn and there is no time to rescue.

Although Zhao Xing seemed a little contemptuous of the defense of the northeastern Bingzhou, there were still some smart people who were always paying attention to this direction. For example, Zhao Yun, who had gone deep into Montenegro and Zhang Liao and Guo Jia, who had disappeared again.

Zhao Yun guarded Huguan, but in fact he was the highest commander of the Eastern Division of Zhenbei Legion. He did not only focus on Zhu Jun in Guangping City. The security and defense of the entire eastern Bingzhou area was within his consideration. Zhang Yan from Heishan was a force that Zhao Yun had always been worried about. Not long ago, Tong Yuan, who had never shown up, suddenly came out of the mountain and went to Huguan to meet Zhao Yun in person, and then disappeared without a trace again.

After seeing his master, Zhao Yun immediately sent a letter to Gao Shun in Wohu City, suggesting that Gao Shun arrange some troops to the Yangqu area to prevent the possible invasion of the Heishan Army. It was Zhao Yun's very timely letter that not only saved the lives of the people of several counties and counties in the eastern part of Bingzhou, but also avoided the final failure of the Bingzhou defense war.

Since Zhang Liao and Guo Jia also saw the weak defense in the northeast of Bingzhou, what would they do?
