"Has there been any unusual movement from the Xianbei recently?" Liu Yan was looking at the document in his hand.
"Lord Provincial Governor, the Xianbei have been extremely quiet recently.”The scout paused." There are only a few scouts who haven't returned.。”
Liu Yan, who was flipping through the documents, stopped and frowned.
It was impossible. If it was during normal times, they would often encounter Xianbei scouts. A few days ago, there were 50,000 Yellow Turban soldiers attacking Zhuo County in Youzhou. It was impossible for Xianbei people to not take action.
This was the best opportunity. Zhuo County had just experienced a great battle, and their reserves were definitely empty. If they didn't launch a sneak attack now, when would they wait?
There was no movement. It was impossible. Although he, Liu Yan, could not rule the world, he was not a fool.
These missing scouts were most likely ambushed by the Xianbei.
"Try again!" Liu Yan said coldly.
"Here!" The scout quickly left.
…………
At this moment, at the border of Youzhou and Xianbei.
"Run…"
A saber light flashed, and that person's corpse fell to the side.
Wukezha looked at the figure in the distance and chuckled,"You ran quite fast."
"General, is it okay to let one of their scouts escape?”A Xianbei cavalryman asked in a low voice.
"Hahahaha!" Wukezha laughed maniacally.
"We're already here. Will we still have the chance to mobilize our forces when he sends word back?”
Wukezha's words were filled with confidence. Moreover, his 50,000 Xianbei cavalry could not be compared to the weak Yellow Turban Army.
He had received a secret report from a spy that Youzhou had just experienced a great battle, so they must have suffered heavy losses. The rear was also lacking in supplies. How could they miss such a good opportunity?
"General is wise!" The surrounding soldiers laughed.
The Xianbei were also very cautious. They had secretly killed all the other scouts and led 50,000 Xianbei cavalrymen to the border right under Youzhou's nose!
…………
Youzhou.
"Urgent report from the border! Urgent report from the border!"
A scout shouted so loudly that the surrounding guards gave way. If they delayed the opportunity, they could not afford to do so.
Liu Yan frowned. There had been no movement from the Xianbei for several days, so he guessed that this time, it was probably related to the Xianbei.
"Hurry up and tell me!"
"Hu chi hu chi!" The scout panted loudly. His dry and white lips clearly indicated that he had not rested.
The boots he was wearing were also worn out, and they were stained with mud and some dried weeds.
The scout's face was stained with blood.
"Xianbei…Xianbei's fifty thousand cavalry have arrived at the border between Youzhou and Xianbei!”The scout's expression was obviously not good, and he was even talking with a pause.
" What?!" Liu Yan was shocked." 50,000!!"
Was it that easy to hide fifty thousand cavalry? However, the Xianbei had snuck in right under Liu Yan's nose.
At this moment, the 50,000-strong army was about to enter Youzhou. His 50,000-strong army was inconvenient to move. No matter how slow they were, they should have already reached Youzhou. In less than a day, they would be at the city gates!
Liu Yan's face instantly turned ashen. The joy of defeating the Yellow Turban Army a few days ago had disappeared.
"No wonder the spies have gone missing for the past few days. How dare the Xianbei!”Liu Yan said angrily.
Looking at the weak and exhausted scout in front of him, Liu Yan's tone softened.
"You can go and rest first. Come back another day to receive your reward.”
Then, Liu Yan waved his hand, signaling for two guards to go over and support the scout.
The scout paused for a moment and bowed to Liu Yan with difficulty.
"Thank you…Provincial Governor."
These few words seemed to drain all the strength in his body, and he actually fainted.
Liu Yan only flared up when no one was around.
"Bastard Xianbei!"
"Pass on my order to gather everyone for a meeting!”
"Here!"
…………
A moment later, in Youzhou.
It had only been less than a day since the last meeting, and the Provincial Governor had actually summoned all of them here again. No one knew why.
The generals below looked at each other and whispered to each other about why Liu Yan had gathered them here.
After waiting for a while, everyone had arrived except for Liu Yan.
"Da da da da!" Footsteps sounded. Liu Yan had finally arrived.
His face was full of fatigue, but he restrained it at this time.
Seeing Liu Yan, the generals all shut their mouths and the scene fell silent.
"May I know why the Provincial Governor called us here?”Someone asked.
Seeing Liu Yan looking at him with a straight face, that person immediately shut his mouth and stopped asking for a snub.
Liu Yan exhaled and said.
"The Xianbei have invaded."
There was an uproar below. There had been no news at all these days. How could he come so suddenly?
"The Xianbei have been coveting our Youzhou for a long time, and we have never been afraid. At most, we will fight back!”
A general said, and the others echoed.
"That's right, that's right. They're just Xianbei, and they dare to cross the lightning pool to attack our Han territory?”
Liu Yan smiled and looked down.
"Then what about the general who is willing to lead troops to attack the fifty thousand Xianbei cavalry?”
The generals who were chatting merrily instantly quieted down.
What kind of joke was this? The Xianbei Iron Cavalry was not a type of army that the Yellow Turban bandits could just make up for.
Not to mention fifty thousand cavalry!
Liu Yan, who was originally smiling, looked down at the silent generals and his expression froze.
"Trash! A bunch of trash!"
" What use do I have for you!?"
