"What did you say? The Xianbei army is invading?"
Liu Heng received a shocking piece of news from the soldier who reported the news.
Liu Yan's Provincial Governor's Office had sent out a piece of news. The Xianbei Army had joined forces with the Wu Heng Army and gathered 200,000 soldiers to invade Youzhou!
This soldier was sent by Liu Yan to inform Liu Heng.
After all, Liu Heng had an official position now. Moreover, he had thousands of troops under him. Before the imperial court sent troops, it would be good if he could gather some troops!
Liu Heng couldn't get any detailed information from the soldier who sent the message. Helplessly, he quickly gathered his soldiers and prepared to assemble while he rode his horse to Ji City!
He needed detailed information before he could decide what to do!
However, Liu Heng was still cursing these bastards in his heart. They could come whenever they wanted! Why did you have to come at this time? Next year will be the Yellow Turban Uprising!
Although he had thousands of troops under his command, they were still enough to deal with the Yellow Turban Army. However, when faced with these fierce Xianbei troops, it would be difficult!
You bastards really don't let people stop!
At the same time, Liu Heng was also cursing his subordinates. How did they do their intelligence work? There was such a huge commotion on the grasslands, but none of them reported it. They really put all their attention on making money. You bastards, I'll teach you a lesson when we get back!
As someone from the future, Liu Heng naturally knew that the most important thing in a war was intelligence. Therefore, he had always put a lot of effort into intelligence work.
There were many intelligence agents in his caravan, especially on the grasslands, where intelligence was of utmost importance.
However, they didn't know about such a big thing this time. It was only until the war broke out that Liu Heng got the news from other sources. How could he not be angry?
But to be honest, Liu Heng had misunderstood his subordinates. They didn't expect the Xianbei army to invade Youzhou at this time.
After all, according to the rules of the grasslands, they would only attack the inland in winter and spring. In summer and autumn, they would stay on the grasslands to graze.
He just didn't know? This time, which bastard was playing by the rules! They were also very wronged.
By the time they found out and wanted to return to send a message, the army had already imprisoned them!
In the past, the Xianbei had always invaded Bingzhou. Who knew that this time, they would actually advance in the direction of Youzhou!
When Liu Heng arrived at the Provincial Governor's Office, there was already someone waiting for him outside. This person was Liu Zhang.
"Brother, what's going on?" Liu Heng asked quickly.”
Liu Zhang did not have time to talk to him in detail. He pulled her inside and said as they walked,"I don't know the details either. I only know that there's a huge commotion inside.
You're also an official, so father sent someone to inform you. You should know what's going on after you go in!”
Liu Heng saw that he did not know the details, so he did not ask. He could only remain silent and follow him into the study!
When they arrived at Liu Yan's study, almost all the civil and military officials of Youzhou were there. They saw Liu Heng enter.
Liu Yan just nodded casually and asked someone to show Liu Heng a seat. Then, he continued to discuss with the other officials!
Liu Heng sat there quietly and listened to these people discuss. Only then did he finally understand what was going on!
It turned out that a few years ago, a generation of Xianbei geniuses; After Shan Shikui died, the Xianbei tribe began to decline, and the tribe became divided!
Shan Shikui's son, He Lian, had inherited the position of Shan Shikui's Chanyu. However, he had his father's ambition, but he did not have his father's talent.
Therefore, many people in Xianbei were dissatisfied with him. Some even threatened that he was not worthy of the position of Chanyu and asked him to abdicate.
He Lian was badly battered, but after a few years, they managed to barely maintain the situation.
However, he also knew that if he did not have any great achievements, these proud soldiers and valiant generals would sooner or later cripple him.
Therefore, he wanted to attack the Han Dynasty, just like his father. He wanted to achieve impressive achievements and make these people speechless.
Originally, the Xianbei invaded the Han Dynasty through Bingzhou. Ding Yuan had a general under him, Lu Bu.
This person was extremely valiant, and coupled with the fact that the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry was awe-inspiring, they could not be underestimated. Moreover, the Xiongnu people had been with the people of Bingzhou for a long time.
In addition to the feud with the Xianbei, He Lian was worried that the Xiongnu would attack from behind, so he chose the direction of Youzhou.
Although the Youzhou Cavalry was similar to the Bingzhou Cavalry, there weren't many particularly powerful generals in Youzhou recently.
Gongsun Zan was the only one who still had some ability, but he was not a threat. Therefore, he decided to invade Youzhou and set off when the grasslands were lush to catch the Han people off guard.
He believed that when the time came, those Han troops would definitely be defeated by him. At that time, he would be able to obtain impressive achievements. His position as the Chief would be as stable as Mount Tai, and no one would be able to shake him!
The current situation in Youzhou was like this. The Xianbei allied with Wu Heng and sent out two hundred thousand soldiers to enter the Great Wall from Shanggu. The area between Shanggu and Yuyang had become Xianbei territory.
Right now, both sides were engaged in a tug-of-war in Yuyang, but there were not many defenders left.
Almost half of the Youzhou army had been sent there. The commandant of Youzhou had just led his troops there. Besides the necessary guards, there were not many soldiers left in Youzhou.
They could only wait for the imperial court to send troops. However, Yuyang was so close to them. When the imperial court's army arrived, they would probably be finished!
Now, these people were debating whether to resist to the end or retreat first and wait for the imperial court's army to arrive before counterattacking!
Although many people wanted to retreat, no one dared to give the order.
If they really gave this order, then their career would be over!
However, to resist until the end, whether or not anyone dared to lead their troops forward was now in a stalemate between these two choices!
After Liu Heng understood what was going on, he heaved a sigh of relief. So that was what happened.
It was good that Shi Mo understood the situation. This way, he could think of a countermeasure and not be in the dark!
Liu Heng scoffed at their arguments. What choice did he have? Of course, he could only fight to the death.
If they were to retreat first and wait for the imperial court's army to arrive, Youzhou would basically be finished. If they wanted to recover it, they would have to pay a huge price!
Now that he was fighting to the death, although there would be a certain amount of damage, the overall consumption was much smaller!
Moreover, the Xianbei army had only attacked this time, and Han Dynasty was caught off guard. If they insisted on not retreating, the Xianbei army would suffer a huge loss.
They would not be able to stand it themselves. After all, it was the season of lush vegetation on the grasslands. It was the best time of the year to graze.
Now that the Xianbei army had come here, who would still graze!
If they really suffered any major losses, it would be a serious injury. At that time, they would not be able to take it anymore and would naturally take the initiative to retreat!
Therefore, he had to beat them until they were in pain!
