Chapter 320 Wei Jun Tiger [Subscribe]

South bank of the Yellow River.

Although Cao Cao was gone, there was still a "Cao Cao" who continued to inspect along the coast pretending to go out to fight, providing him with an alibi.

When Bian Mei was traveling around the world, many powerful people wanted to take her into their private residences.

One of her tricks as a prostitute is to put on makeup and disguise herself to hide from harassment.

When Bian Mei first returned to Cao's camp, she changed her identity many times while gathering information outside, and her portrayal was very lifelike.

Cao Cao asked her to play himself for a while, but Bian Mei disagreed at first.

But since he surrendered, I had no choice but to put on the costume.

She also had a message bead, and when she was undecided, she would ask Cao Cao.

Lao Cao rode a horse and led the team to advance quickly.

Since we captured the Horse King Jueying, the herd of wild horses he brought with him has been tamed for a period of time and is now ready for riding.

Now Cao Cao's personal army, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, together with fifty-nine heavy cavalry, each man was equipped with four horses.

All of them were top-quality horses, with hooves as big as bowls, and each one was majestic and majestic.

With one horse riding four horses, the maneuverability, long-distance running distance and speed have all been further improved.

During the early and middle period of Emperor Wu's reign in the Han Dynasty, when the country was at its peak, the most elite troops consisted of only one man riding four horses.

Throughout thousands of years of history, there have been cases of one person riding five or six horses.

But not all horses are good, and mobility will not be improved by more horses.

In other words, Boss Cao's personal army can rival some of the top teams in history in terms of cavalry mobility and charge length.

When he began his marching plan, the entire army seemed to be shrouded in fog.

From a distance, it looked like a ball of fog swirling and moving forward.

Cao Cao set out from Yanzhou, entered Sizhou, passed Luoyang, and headed west.

When the team passed Chang'an and left Longxi County, they approached the area east of the Hexi Corridor.

It was already April.

The Hexi Corridor starts at Wushaoling in the east and ends at Xingxing Gorge in the west, with mountains on both the north and south sides.

The Qilian Mountains on the south side are majestic and steep.

To the north are the Heli Mountain, Longshou Mountain and Mazong Mountain.

These mountains together constitute the must-pass places of the "Silk Road".

At the same time that Cao Cao was heading west, Kuitou, the leader of the Western Xianbei, also led his troops south.

He went south from Western Xianbei and entered the north of the Hexi Corridor.

Since the Western Han Dynasty, due to the conquest and expulsion of the Han army, the Qiang and Hu people were forced to move out of the fertile Hexi region and gathered to live in this area.

The Han territory had been ravaged by wars for years, and some defeated soldiers and extremely vicious criminals had gathered in this lawless area.

Hu Ji City is the largest settlement within hundreds of miles in this area.

The city is populated by a mixed crowd of people, including Han, Qiang, Hu, Xianbei, as well as Eastern and Western merchants passing through, smugglers, and spies from all sides.

The mixed situation has promoted the abnormal development here.

There were brothels and prostitutes everywhere.

Moga was a general under the command of Kuitou of the Western Xianbei.

He brought a team of people, disguised himself and concealed his identity, and entered the Colorful Leather Shop in Hu Ji City at nightfall, waiting to meet someone.

Huji City was built on the site of Wantu City, a large city in the early Han Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Wantu City was captured by Huo Qubing and Wei Qing when they led their troops to conquer Hexi. They set fire to the city, which was then used as a frontline gathering place for the Huns.

By the end of the Han Dynasty, Qiang and Hu people restored some of the rammed earth buildings on the old site.

The Colorful Leather Shop in the city is located on top of a building with colorful leathers hung on it. At night, they start selling seafood openly for the entertainment of people coming and going.

There are women of all races here.

The Xianbei general Moga was tall and thin, with a short scar on his left forearm and a ferocious face.

He was the vanguard general of the Western Xianbei who were preparing to secretly attack the Han Dynasty.

The owner behind Caipifang, supported by Western Xianbei, was in charge of gathering information in Huji City.

Mo Ga came in, asked for a dark room, and waited quietly.

He waited until night fell, becoming quite impatient, until the person he was waiting for arrived.

"Hu'etuo, you are the first person who dares to make me wait for two hours." Mo Ga said angrily.

Hu'etuo is the leader of one of the many forces of Qiang and Hu, and he is 42 years old this year.

The Canlang Qiang under his control was one of the three most powerful forces north of Hexi.

He walked in, looked at Moga, and said without showing any weakness:

"Kui Tou sent me a message to cooperate with me and asked me to rush over hundreds of miles to meet him, but he himself didn't come?"

Moga sneered: "My chief is of such status that he cannot come here in person.

Since you are here, let's act according to the previous agreement. Are you ready?"

Hu Etuo did not answer but asked:
"You promised me two thousand cattle and sheep. And all the loot from this operation belongs to me. Does that still count?"

Moga said: "We, the Western Xianbei, will not rely on you for such a small thing."

Hu Etuo nodded: "Then it's settled. There is no problem on my side, all my men will join the battle.

As agreed, I have also contacted the Nanshan Qiang south of the Qilian Mountains, and they will also participate.”

When Kuitou met Murong Tuoye of the Eastern Xianbei before, he said that he was confident of defeating the Han army.

He used Hu'etuo as a transit point to contact the Qiang and Hu tribes and prepare to act together.

The Nanshan Qiang are located south of the Hexi Corridor.

Secretly colluding with Hu'etuo, they wanted to launch offensives from both the north and south ends at the same time, attacking the Hexi Corridor in the middle.

The four counties established by the Han people in Hexi, many cities, horse farms, and east-west commercial travel were all in this area.

According to the agreement, the looted goods belong to the Qiang people.

The benefit that the Western Xianbei gained was that, from a strategic perspective, they destroyed the Han people's base in Hexi and cut off the supply of the Han army's troops advancing westward.

After the war breaks out, Kuitou will personally lead his troops to attack further west, preparing to open up the main force of the Han army in the Western Regions with great ambition.

Moga and Hu'etuo met and conspired, and soon agreed on the time for the joint attack.

The two parties immediately separated and went their separate ways.

By late April.

Hu'etuo gathered troops from many Qiang and Hu tribes in a secret stronghold on the north side of the Wushaoling Mountains to form a Qiang and Hu coalition force of 16,000 people.

At midnight, the sound of horses' hooves became frequent. The soldiers and horses of the Western Xianbei also came to join them.

What surprised Hu'etuo was that the Xianbei also sent a force of 10,000 people.

He originally thought that the Xianbei would actively contact them, and after joining forces, they would be the main force.

Unexpectedly, the troops sent by the Xianbei were no less than theirs.

The combined forces of both sides have reached nearly 30,000 men, and the Nanshan Qiang behind the Qilian Mountains in the south will also cooperate in the operation.

The total number of Xianbei troops and horses that will attack the Qiang and Hu in Hexi will reach 40,000.

This is going to be a big battle.

Hu Etuo licked his lips and felt a little excited.

The Western Xianbei wanted to do something big, so he just followed suit and plundered the Han people's wealth and women.

"Moga, you brought me a surprise. It seems that you are serious this time and are officially declaring war on the Han people!"

Mo Jia said calmly: "Our goal is not to plunder, but to eat up the main force of the Han army in Hexi."

Hu'etuo became more and more happy. It would be of great benefit to them to have the Xianbei in the front.

The Qiang people had been suppressed by the Han army for many years, and this coalition was a good opportunity for them to counterattack.

Moga raised his head and looked south: "Have you contacted the Qiang people south of the Qilian Mountains?"

"We have contacted each other many times and have agreed to take action at the same time three nights later," said Hu Etuo.

Moga: "My team will stay here for three days. Can this place accommodate us?"

Hu Etuo said: "Yes, although this mountain city is small, the back of the mountain city is connected to the gorge of Wushaoling Mountain, and I usually station troops here.

Your team can enter the mountain pass, and three to four thousand people can be stationed in the city."

The stronghold of Hu'ertuo was also built on the site of an old city, named Moduo City.

Moga sent someone to investigate, and found out that it was the same as what Hu'e Tuo said, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

The army moved in and all parties gathered together. They waited until the agreed time and then rushed south from Wushaoling and attacked the Hexi Corridor.

Sunrise and sunset.

Two nights later, there was still one day left before the agreed time for the war to start.

In the small town built on the mountain, the troops of Moga and Hu'etu began to check their equipment and baggage and make final preparations for the battle.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and at nightfall it was pitch dark.

The scouts sent out by Moga and Hu'etu were investigating and keeping watch in the surroundings, but no one noticed a nighthawk circling above their heads.

In a secret location outside the two mountains of Motuo City, the Wei army's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had been lurking for a long time.

Cao Cao was wearing a cloak and was at the front of the troops.

That nighthawk was the scout he sent out.

"Defeat this Western Xianbei and Qiang-Hu coalition army first."

Cao Cao's personal troops had gathered at the border in batches from Yecheng as he had ordered.

After he came over, he joined up with his own army, left Longxi and headed north, marching in secret.

The entire team consists of only three thousand people.

The enemy had nearly ten times more troops, but there was nothing they were afraid to fight.

The Western Xianbei and Qiang Hu tribes were a temporary coalition force with a serious lack of cohesion. Once they suffered a setback, they would each act on their own and begin to disintegrate.

Use a heavy hammer to open the prelude to this battle.

If you take the initiative, there will be plenty of loopholes to exploit.

Kuitou, the leader of the Western Xianbei tribes, was very ambitious and wanted to swallow up the main force of the Han army in Hexi.

Cao Cao’s ambition is greater and his force is more ferocious!

The Wei army now has little surplus food, but there are ways to deal with food shortages.

Huo Qubing, the war god of the Han Dynasty, traveled thousands of miles without much baggage and relied entirely on robbing.

In the cover of night, the Wei army attacked quietly.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu were the vanguards, moving towards the enemy.

Cao Cao was accompanied by Taishi Ci.

He is the only general who has not been sent abroad at present.

Yin was also in the team, and was following Xu Chu hurriedly, crouching down and getting into the posture before hunting.

Rui followed behind Yin.

One man, one tiger and one leopard, lined up in a very neat formation.

Coming out from the place where Cao Cao and his men were hiding was also a small mountain pass.

Behind the mountain pass, there were Qiang, Hu and Xianbei cavalry on guard.

Dian Wei made a gesture, meaning that he would deal with one of the teams and Xu Chu would deal with the other.

The next moment, both of them exerted force at the same time.

Yin also pounced out like a tiger, and attacked a scout team at the same time as Xu Chu.

The Qiang and Hu scout on duty felt his eyes blurry and subconsciously raised his hand to block the attack, feeling an overwhelming force surging in him.

His body was like being hit by a sledgehammer and shattered into pieces. Not a single bone remained intact and he died instantly.

This was Yin's first time following Cao Cao and participating in a war, and he was afraid that he might not perform well.

It swung its claws out with all its strength.

Not only was the scout's entire body shattered, his body was also blown away like a stalk of grass.

Yin pounced on the next target and scratched it with his tiger claws, one by one.

In the blink of an eye, the two teams of scouts were wiped out.

Yin killed the smaller half by himself.

Xu Chu praised: "What a good tiger."

Yin was extremely happy, and his ferocious nature was completely aroused by the killing.

The king of beasts wants to hunt!
Yin opened his mouth and wanted to let out a tiger roar, but Cao Cao, who came up from behind, slapped him on the head and he was immediately silenced.

At Cao Cao's side, the heavy cavalry were like a demon army rushing out of the darkness, pushing towards Motuo City.

The Wei army's tigers are out of the gate!
