Chapter 277 General of the Cavalry

Liu Bang said: "Zifang, are you talking about using troops against the Huns?"

To be honest, Liu Bang was quite afraid of the Huns. The main reason was that the Huns were all grassland cavalry that came and went like the wind, while the Han army was mostly infantry. Once the two sides fought, the Han army would be passive strategically. Therefore, before the last resort, Liu Bang was really unwilling to provoke the Huns. "" website.com

Zhang Liang asked back without answering, "Don't the king think that now is a great time to use troops in Hexi?"

The emergence of Xiang Zhuang, a time traveler, led to a deeper understanding of the cavalry. In addition, the general trend of the world was greatly deviated from history, which forced Liu Bang to face the threat of the Huns alone. Therefore, as early as the first time the Huns went south to Guanzhong, Liu Bang strengthened his prevention and infiltration of the Huns and Yuezhi.

At this time, Guanzhong was in the east of Korea and Liang Kingdom, and in the south of Ba and Shu counties, so you can rest assured.

The Yuezhi people in the western front and the Huns in the north can pose a threat to the Han Dynasty, but in general, the threat of the Huns is far greater than that of the Yuezhi people.

In fact, the Yuezhi people are not having a good time now.

Not long ago, the Xiutu tribe and Hunxie tribes that lie among the Huns and the Yuezhi people surrendered to the Huns, and the Yuezhi people needed to face the threat of the Huns. It is said that the Huns' Chanyu Maodun had sent envoys to the Yuezhi king's court several times, threatening the Yuezhi people to follow the example of Xiutu and Hunxie tribes and surrender to the feet of the Huns.

The Yuezhi people are also a large tribe, with more than 100,000 armors, so they naturally won't surrender easily.

Zhang Liang believed that once the Yuezhi people and the Huns went to full war, the Han Kingdom would take this opportunity to get the Yuezhi people together and attack the Huns severely. Even if they could not completely defeat the Huns, they would at least not dare to go south to herd their horses. In this way, the Han Kingdom could solve the two major threats from the western frontier and northern border in one fell swoop, which was a killing of two birds with one stone.

Moreover, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping have also analyzed this situation many times. ("" website.com)

Liu Bang was also a little moved and said, "Zifang, do you think this battle can really be fought?"

Zhang Liang said: "King, in the Battle of Hexi, our army won three victories and the Huns lost three times, so this battle can be fought!"

"Our army won three victories, but the Huns lost three?" Liu Bang asked with great interest, "Zifang, let's be more specific."

Zhang Liang said: "The Hexi Corridor is close to Longxi, and there are two counties in the north. Our army is waiting for labor. This is a victory. The Yuezhi people are facing the threat of life and death. They must work together with me to fight against the Huns. These two victory. Our cavalry has been trained. It can be said that the troops are strong and the equipment is sharp and the Huns are even more comparable to these three victory."

Chen Ping smiled slightly and continued: "Jiuyuan is far away from the Hexi Corridor. The Huns are working hard to attack the far away. This is a defeat; the Huns are defeated, and the Huns are newly surrendered, and people are unstable, so it is difficult to work together with the Huns and fight together. These two defeats are defeated. It is still midsummer. The Huns are not fat and their horses are not strong, and they cannot mobilize the entire tribe's troops to launch a large-scale battle. These are three defeats."

Zhang Liang said again: "Our army has three victories and the Huns have three defeats. Why can't we fight this battle?"

Liu Bang was moved when he heard this, and immediately said, "Okay, fight!" After a pause, Liu Bang said, "So, who should be the general and how many cavalry should be dispatched?"

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

The King of Han is almost sixty years old, and his body is no longer as good as before. In addition, the cavalry battles, and they often drive thousands of miles away. If the King of Han is really good at making this old bone, it would be amazing! Therefore, in this battle, only one general can be sent to lead the army. As for whom to send to the battle, there is no suspense.

There were not many cavalry generals in the Han army, except Guan Ying, there was only Lu Tai.

If it were a year ago, who would send to the war, it still needs to be considered. But now, there is no need for that. Last year, in the battle between Baiyushankou, Lu Tai won a great victory and captured the Xiongnu's left-ranking master alive. Guan Ying was defeated in the face of the skin. It was already clear that the two were better. Although Lu Tai was young, his ability to lead troops was far above Guan Ying!

If Liu Bang had some concerns, it was that Lu Tai was Lv Ze's eldest son, Lu Empress's nephew, and the cousin of the crown prince Liu Ying. Once Lu Tai made outstanding achievements in war and became an indispensable pillar of the Han Dynasty, if Liu Bang wanted to depose Liu Ying and change Liu Ruyi to the crown prince, he had to think about Lu's reaction. ("" website 7*)

However, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping did not agree with Liu Bang's deposition of Liu Ying, so they were mainly led by Lu Tai.

After thinking about it over and over again, Liu Bang finally felt that the deposed crown prince could be considered for a long time, but the threat from the Huns was imminent. He immediately ordered Zhang Liang to "Zifang, I will draw an imperial edict immediately to promote Changle's captain Lu Tai as General of the Cavalry, commanding Longxi, and Xianyang camp to 20,000 elite cavalry, and conquer Hexi!"

"Here!" Zhang Liang agreed happily and turned around and took the order.

As soon as Zhang Liang left, Xiao He suddenly broke in with dust.

"National Prime Minister?" Liu Bang said in surprise, "Why did you come to Longxi?"

"King." Xiao He bowed to Liu Bang and gasped, "Hurry, please return to Xianyang."

"Return to Xianyang?" Liu Bang's heart skipped, and his face changed slightly, "Major, has something big happened?"

"Uh, no." Xiao He quickly shook his head and said, "That's right. A few days ago, I accidentally met a scholar from Kanto. This person is very knowledgeable and has a good conversation. He is definitely a talent that the king urgently needs. Just relying on his identity alone, it is probably not enough to recruit this person. Therefore, the king should hurry back to Xianyang."

"Talent?" Liu Bang's expression moved slightly. Liu Bang had always been quite convinced of Xiao He's vision of knowing people. Xiao He said that this person was a talent, so he must be a talent. Since he was a talent, of course he had to recruit them vigorously. Liu Bang would never hate too many talents. At this moment, Liu Bang said, "Okay, I will go back to Xianyang!"

#############

Changleying in the western suburbs of Xianyang.

The cool sun was like fire. Amid the sound of iron hooves like the tide, a team of about four or five hundred cavalry of Han cavalry was like a wind rushing toward the gate of Changle Camp. They were just approaching the gate. The red-robed young general who was riding horses in front suddenly raised his right hand. The four or five hundred cavalry following behind him suddenly spread out toward the left and right wings.

Almost at the same time, the gate of Changle Camp also opened, and another team of Han cavalry rushed out of the gate. Two Han cavalry advanced against each other, and their speed slowed down. They stopped their mounts until they were less than ten steps apart. The Han cavalry that came out of Changle Camp was led by a young Han army general.

"Put it!"

"Victory!"

After a moment of confrontation, the two young Han army generals in the lead clasped their fists and laughed at the same time.

These two young Han army generals are naturally Lu Tai, Zhou Guanfu, whose courtesy name is Jiangzhi, and Zhou Guanfu's courtesy name is Shengzhi, all of which are given by King Liu Bang of Han. Lu Tai, Zhou Guanfu and Wang Qi are called the three horses of Guanzhong. Unfortunately, in the battle of Dabie Mountain, Wang Qi broke his name under Xiang Zhuang before he could win the crown. It was really regrettable that he sighed.

"Shengzhi, why are you not training troops in Shangjun? Going back to Xianyang?"

After saying that, Lu Tai stopped his horse and turned around, walking side by side with Zhou Guanfu. The hundreds of Han cavalry lined up behind him dodged to the left and right sides, giving up the passage leading to the gate.

Zhou Guanfu shook the whip in his hand and said angrily: "In Shangjun, shooting grass men every day, at most, they are hunting and shooting rabbits and pheasants in the mountains. Life is really boring, and it is almost fading out of the birds. I have also trained hundreds of cavalry and brought Xianyang to compete with your Changle Camp to see which one is better or worse."

Lu Tai smiled and shook his head, saying, "Shengzhi, you still have this temper, haha."

Zhou Guanfu said angrily: "Take it straight, do you tell me, or not?"

"Compare, of course." Lu Tai smiled bitterly, then said confidently, "I am not as good as you when fighting against the generals, but if I compete for the cavalry under my command, I am not boasting. Although you hundreds of cavalry look quite like that, it would be really not enough to see if you really get on the battlefield."

Zhou Guanfu snorted: "Who can't be fooled? I'll see you again when I go to the battlefield!"

Lu Tai shook his head and said, "Well, you are a guest from afar, and I won't bully you. There are always sixteen musical cavalry under my Changle Camp. How about you pick a song and compare it with hundreds of cavalrymen?"

Zhou Guanfu said: "Okay, queue, ride and shoot, and win two games in three games!"

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the side of the Changle Camp's headquarters. When Lu Tai was about to beat the drum and gather troops, the whistle guarding the gate blew a loud trumpet.

Lu Tai, Zhou Guanfu looked back quickly, and saw hundreds of Han cavalry coming from the road outside the gate. The rider first held a large crimson flag with a large "Han" embroidered on it. Lu Tai, Zhou Guanfu's face changed slightly when he saw it. This is... Han King's Chronicle?! Han King's Royal Arrival?!

At that time, Zhou Guanfu didn't care about the competition anymore, and turned over and got off the horse and rushed outside the gate.

Not long after, hundreds of Han cavalry galloped from the front rushed to the outside of the gate. Isn’t that cavalry the first one the King of Han? Behind the King of Han, there was a young man of 16 or 17 years old, who looked like a star and a pink face. He looked childish, but he had a sense of eagle looking at the wolf.

"Master!"

"Master!"

Lu Tai, Zhou Guanfu and the Han soldiers lined up behind him all knelt on one knee and worshiped him.

"A general is flat, and he will be flat, and all the soldiers will be flat." Liu Bang turned over and dismounted, personally helped Lu Tai and Zhou Guanfu up, and then signaled the Han soldiers behind the two of them to get up.

At that moment, Liu Bang pulled Lu Tai with his left hand and Zhou Guanfu with his right hand straight into the gate.
