After Liu Yuan heard the news, he heaved a long sigh of relief.
The hidden danger was the most fatal. As long as the Wuhuan did not move, Liu Yuan would not be at ease. Now that it had moved, he could only face it!
After instructing his generals to prepare for the expedition, Liu Yuan immediately returned to the prefect's manor and sent someone to call all the advisors to the study.
"My lord, the Wuhuan have moved?"
Guo Jia held the small wine pot in his hand, and there was still a hint of drunkenness on his face.
"I say, Fengxiao, can't you drink less?”Liu Yuan glared at him and said,"Drinking too much is bad for your health. Be careful not to die young!"”
Guo Jia smiled apologetically and said,""Thank you for your concern, my lord. I will pay attention in the future.”
"You!" Liu Yuan shook his head helplessly. His expression suddenly turned serious as his gaze slowly swept across Tian Feng, Ju Shou, and Chen Qun. He said in a heavy voice,"Just now, a spy reported that the Wuhuan cavalrymen have been spotted in Pan Xi County!”
"How many people?" Guo Jia asked.
"About 50,000." Liu Yuan's expression was calm, but his eyes were cold."I only have 15,000 soldiers under my command. It seems that it won't be easy to obtain victory.”
The four of them nodded in agreement, but their faces were calm, as if they were not worried at all.
"As for the specific strategy and tactics, I still need to see Pan Xi and understand the specific situation before I can decide.”
Liu Yuan looked at the four of them and said," Yuyang City has just stabilized. We cannot afford to have internal chaos. Therefore, I have decided that Gongyu and Yuanhao will stay in Yuyang City to take charge of various affairs. Changwen and the personal guard battalion, Qi Zhou, and two thousand soldiers were responsible for logistics in the rear. It was enough for me to bring Feng Xiao to the front line.”
The four of them bowed and accepted the order.
At this moment, a guard passed the message that the four generals were ready. Liu Yuan immediately ordered his men to bring weapons and mounts. He led Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and 130 elite guards through the streets and streets, heading out of Yuyang City.
Under the general worship platform outside the city, the 15,000 soldiers were divided into three formations. Under the leadership of Xu Huang, Yan Liang, and Huang Chang, they silently waited for Liu Yuan's arrival. The only sound in the wilderness was the fluttering of the banners in the north wind.
A moment later, Liu Yuan arrived. Under the burning gazes of all the generals and soldiers, he stepped onto the platform.
Because of the emergency, Liu Yuan didn't either? "Where is Xu Huang?" he ordered.!”
"I'm here!" Xu Huang dismounted from his horse and took two steps forward. He knelt down on one knee and cupped his hands.
"Order…Xu Huang to lead five thousand cavalrymen to Pan Xi territory as fast as possible and find out the exact situation of the Wuhuan army!”
"Here!"
Xu Huang retreated and mounted his horse. He waved the axe in his hand and roared,"Let's go!"
Instantly, the five thousand warhorses moved like a black torrent, roaring like a tsunami, and like a thunderbolt descending, shaking the entire Yuyang City!
Yan Liang and Huang Chang's eyes flashed with envy, but when they thought about how their soldiers weren't bad either, they immediately felt gratified.
The cavalry gradually left. Under Xu Huang's lead, they did not show any signs of disarray. Liu Yuan's eyes flashed with satisfaction. Although it was still not up to his expectations, this was only the result of ten days of training. Anyone would be proud of it.
"Yan Liang, Huang Chang, come with me to Pan Xi.”
"Here!"
After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he strode down from the platform and mounted his mount. Guo Jiadian and Wei followed closely behind him.
"Army, move out!" Liu Yuan whipped his horse and roared. A bull took the lead.
The bodyguards raised the golden flag with the word 'Liu' written on it and a black python pattern on it. They followed closely behind, followed by the archers and spearmen.
When they passed by the city gate, they saw many commoners gathered outside the city. Some even brought wine and food to send off the army.
On the other hand, Xu Huang led 5,000 cavalrymen and in less than six hours, they arrived at Panxi territory. At this time, it was already dark and the people were tired. Xu Huang found a treasure land near the mountains and rivers and set up camp. He immediately sent out scouts.
As the night grew deeper, a cold breeze blew through the tent door, causing the oil lamp in the tent to sway. Xu Huang was fully dressed. He held the flame in one hand and the map in the other as he studied it carefully.
"Report!"
"Come in."
A guard entered and cupped his hands." General, the scouts and cavalry have returned."”
"Oh? So fast!" Xu Huang put down the things in his hands and sat upright."Call the leader in."
A moment later, the scouts entered the tent and kowtowed on one knee.""Reporting to General, we had only traveled fifty li along the path when we discovered the enemy camp. The tents stretched for dozens of miles, and there were probably fifty thousand people!”
"Fifty miles?" Xu Huang frowned and said,"Come forward and point it out to me."”
Following the scout's finger, Xu Huang's eyes narrowed and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"It's actually this place!"
It was a small hill called the Ten Mile Slope. It was neither a good place to ambush nor a good place to hide. Xu Huang frowned because this place was about the same distance from Pan Xi and the Valley of Peace!
So, did the Wuhuan want to attack Pan Xi or Ping Gu? Or were they preparing to attack the two counties at the same time?
