In early November of the second year of Zhongping.
After a few months of governance, the situation in Liaodong was completely different from when Liu Hao first arrived.
In the past few months, the bandits had been wiped out by Dian Wei and his men. They had taken in many refugees. Now, the entire Liaodong region (including Lelang County and Xuantu County) was under Liu Hao's control.）There were almost a million people in the city, which was not much worse than those in the Central Plains.
On this day, Guo Jia hurried to the prefect's manor.
"Lord, something bad has happened." Guo Jia said anxiously.
"What is it?" Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Liu Hao knew that the matter was not small.
"Qiu Liju of the Wuhuan has led an army of 30,000 to attack Liaodong.”Guo Jia said with a worried expression.
Seeing that Liu Hao did not speak, Guo Jia continued,""Qiu Liju should know that the lord has destroyed the four great clans and wants to take advantage of the lord when he has yet to stabilize his footing.”
"Hmph, a puny Wuhuan dares to offend the might of the Great Han Dynasty?”Liu Hao's eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Fengxiao, how is the training of our army going?”
"My lord, the newly recruited army already has a certain amount of combat power, but they have yet to see blood.”Guo Jia reported.
"That's enough. I'll take 8,000 soldiers, Ziyi's 1,000 cavalrymen, and Dian Wei's 500 armored soldiers to reinforce Xuantu Prefecture. I'll leave the rear to you and Zhicai.”
Apart from the 10,000 soldiers, Liu Hao also had 1,000 cavalrymen under Taishi Ci and 500 armored soldiers under Dian Wei.
"My lord, why don't we not bring Ziyi's 1000 cavalrymen?”Guo Jia said.
"Why?" Seeing Guo Jia's confident look, Liu Hao knew that he definitely had a deeper meaning.
Qiu Liju's thirty thousand soldiers were all cavalry. Generally speaking, one cavalry was the best way to deal with a cavalry.
"My lord, we only have a thousand cavalrymen. Even if we bring them along, we can't fight in the wild with Qiu Liju. It's a waste to use them to defend the city, so it's best to use them as a surprise army.”
"What do you think? Tell me quickly."
"My lord will definitely focus on defense in the early stages of this trip. After a few days of bitter fighting, the morale of both sides will definitely be very low. If we have a thousand cavalrymen at this time, not only can we boost the morale of our army, but we can also catch Qiu Liju off guard.”Guo Jia's eyes were filled with slyness.
"Good. As expected of the 'Ghost Genius' Guo Fengxiao. I'll take 8,000 commandery soldiers and Dian Wei with me.”Liu Hao said excitedly.
"My lord, you flatter me. Defending the city this time will definitely be a tough battle. My lord, you must be more careful.”
After the discussion, Liu Hao immediately led his troops to set off. Xuantu County only had a few county soldiers, so they couldn't hold on for long.
"My lord, we can finally do something big this time.”Dian Wei said excitedly.
"If you want to fight, there will be more in the future. This time, the situation is more urgent. The number of enemies is several times that of our army.”Liu Hao reminded.
"My lord, don't worry. This time, I, Old Dian, will definitely bring Qiu Liju's head over.”In the past few months, he had only encountered some shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Dian Wei could not let his hands go. This time, he could finally do something big. Dian Wei was very excited.
Seeing this, Liu Hao did not say anything else. Zhou Cang, who was standing at the side, remained silent. He was like Dian Wei, tall and burly, but his personality was slightly different. He rarely spoke.
After three days of marching, Liu Hao finally arrived at Xuantu Prefecture's headquarters, Gao Gouli. Qiu Liju hadn't arrived yet.
Gao Gouli's general was called Li Ping. His ability was average. When he saw Liu Hao arrive, he immediately went out of the city to welcome him.
"Greetings, Lord Prefect!"
"Rise, where are the Wuhuan army?”
"Lord Prefect, Qiu Liju will arrive in about half a day.”Li Ping had been sending scouts to spy on the movements of the Wuhuan army.
"Hmm, how is the situation in the city?”
"There are a thousand soldiers and horses in the city.”Li Ping replied. He had expected Liu Hao to ask this question, so he answered quickly.
"Then how many people are there in the city? If the defense of the city is not successful, can they help defend the city?”
"Milord, when those rich people heard that the Wuhuan had invaded, they fled long ago. Those who remain in the city now are basically those who can't run, or those who have lived here for generations and are unwilling to run.”
"Forget it. It's human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. You continue to send people to scout for information about the Wuhuan while I set up the city's defenses.”Liu Hao sighed.
"Yes!"
In the afternoon, the Wuhuan army finally arrived at Gaoguli City.
A man rode out of the army and shouted,"Guards on the city, listen up. Hurry up and open the city gate to surrender. Otherwise, when we break through the city gate, no one will be left alive.”
"My lord, let me go down and kill him.”Dian Wei couldn't take it anymore when he heard how arrogant the Wuhuan people were.
"That's good. They've sent people to find out about our attitude. It's already late and they can't attack the city.”Liu Hao nodded.
"Understood!"
Hearing this, Dian Wei happily accepted the order and left.
Soon, the city gate opened and Dian Wei rode out on a group of date red horses.
"Thief, I am your grandfather, Dian Wei. Do you dare to fight me?”
"I'm Qiu Liju's subordinate Captain Hei Mu, watch me kill you.”Hei Mu also had a bad temper. Seeing Dian Wei insult him, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Watch your blade!"
Hei Mu urged his horse over. Dian Wei was not afraid and also rushed over.
When the knife slashed at him, Dian Wei's body leaned back and lay on the horse's back. At the same time, he slashed at Hei Mu's abdomen with his halberd. Hei Mu could not dodge in time and was cut into two.
"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"
Seeing that Dian Wei had displayed his might and killed the enemy in one move, the soldiers on the city gate tower were also excited and their morale soared.
"Who dares to come out and fight me!" After Dian Wei killed Hei Mu, he didn't return to the city directly. Instead, he continued to challenge.
"Your Majesty, let me go. This general will definitely behead the enemy.”A burly man beside Qiu Liju said. He was the number one warrior of Qiu Liju, Lu Xiong.
"Lord Lu Xiong, why use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken? Watch me chop off that thief's head.”
Before Qiu Liju could agree, a general rushed out.
"I am Wu Da, a subordinate of King Qiu Liju.”Wu Da pointed his spear at Dian Wei and cursed.
"You Wuhuan people have such unpleasant names. Why do you have to talk so much nonsense?”
After killing Hei Mu, Dian Wei didn't even warm up and directly rode his horse over.
Clang!
Wu Da felt a tremendous force when the halberd collided with the spear. His arm was numb from the impact, and his thumb and forefinger were split open. Blood flowed out from the gaps between his fingers.
However, before Wu Da could recover, Dian Wei's left hand slashed at him again. Wu Da hurriedly used his spear to block, but he was in a hurry, so how could he block it?
Wu Da's spear was sent flying, and Dian Wei took the opportunity to chop off Wu Da's head.
"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"
“......”
