"General, there is an urgent military situation. The lord said that the Xiongnu Chanyu Yu Fuluo led his army to break through the pass and attack Yanzhou and Guanzhong.”
Hearing the guard's report and the news of the Xiongnu, Zhang Yu immediately stood up and rode his horse straight to Cao Cao's residence!
To Zhang Yu, a descendant of the later generation, what he hated the most were these so-called foreign races!
When the Han people were strong, the Outsiders would submit to them. When the Han people were weak, they would immediately pounce on them like mad dogs and bite them!
Yu Fuluo was the grandfather of Liu Yuan, who established the Han-Zhao regime in the Five Barbarians, and also the father of Liu Bao, the Left Sage Prince!
One had to know that when the five armies invaded China, it was the first time that the Han people were close to extinction. Less than one-tenth of the Han people in the northern Central Plains survived!
Therefore, after learning that the Xiongnu had entered the country, Zhang Yu naturally could not sit still!
Speaking of which, Cao Cao had fought many battles with the Outsiders!
Because the Southern Xiongnu had submitted to the Han Dynasty, there were a large number of Han Xiongnu people living in Bingzhou and Guanzhong.
As for this Xiongnu Chanyu Yu Fuluo, when Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun rebelled, he was invited by the Eastern Han court to lead troops to the Central Plains to suppress the rebel army!
Coincidentally, the Xiongnu rebelled, so Yu Fuluo stayed in the Central Plains and joined forces with the White Wave Army and the Black Mountain Army!
Since then, Yu Fuluo had been running amok in Taiyuan and the east of the river, making a living by plundering!
In history, Yuflo had joined forces with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and Zhang Yang to fight against Cao Cao, but they were all defeated by Cao Cao!
However, before Cao Cao could make a move on him, this fellow had actually extended his hand into the Guanzhong and Yanzhou regions. This naturally caused Cao Cao to be displeased!
When Zhang Yu arrived at Cao Cao's residence, all the generals had already arrived!
Cao Cao spoke with a worried expression when he saw Zhang Yu arrive!
"According to the scouts, Xiongnu Chief Yu Fuluo is plundering the area from Dongjun to Luoyang. He has 8,000 cavalry under him!”
"The prefectural governors along the way can't resist at all. Do you think I should send troops to annihilate them?”
Zhang Yu looked at Cao Cao when he heard Cao Cao's question. He spoke with a worried expression!
"The Central Plains is not like the north. Although our army has more than 200,000 infantry, our cavalry has only been around 10,000 cavalry!”
"Moreover, most of them are new recruits. If they really clash head-on with the Xiongnu's 8,000 cavalry, the probability of defeat is not small!”
"However, if the Xiongnu dare to act atrociously at the gates of Yanzhou and we do not react, then the people of Yanzhou who have finally submitted to us will be lost again!”
Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Cao Cao naturally understood what Zhang Yu was thinking!
Xun Yu and the rest nodded when they heard Zhang Yu's words!
Then, Xun Yu said!
"General Zhang is right. We must fight, but there are many Xiongnu cavalry. How to fight is also a problem!”
"I thought that the Xiongnu were all cavalry and moved quickly. The infantry would not be able to catch up, so they could only send cavalry to fight!”
"However, our cavalry is not many. If we lose all of them just to destroy the Xiongnu, it won't be good!”
"Therefore, the person who goes out to fight must be brave and resourceful. Only then can he find the Xiongnu's weakness in the battle and kill them in one strike!”
As Xun Yu said this, he could not help but look at Zhang Yu!
Right now, the only person under Cao Cao who could be considered brave and resourceful was Zhang Yu!
Therefore, Zhang Yu said with bright eyes!
"Wen Ruo, there's no need to say anything else. Let me go for this battle. Although the Great Han Dynasty is constantly in internal strife, it's not something that these Outsiders can easily touch!”
As soon as Zhang Yu finished speaking, Le Jin, Gao Shun, and Xiahou Dun also requested to fight!
The generals were naturally happy to deal with the Outsiders. After all, as a general, who wouldn't want to be like Huo Qubing, sealing wolves and living in seclusion!
Even though he was dealing with a Xiongnu that had long been crippled, it still made everyone recall the glorious heavenly might of the Great Han Dynasty!
Seeing that all the generals had requested to fight, Cao Cao also slammed the table and said!
"Since all of you have requested to fight, Mu Jun will lead his troops and three thousand cavalrymen. This battle will not be like the past, so be careful!”
Seeing Cao Cao make the decision, Zhang Yu's mouth revealed a smile as he spoke!
"We only need Gao Shun and the Breaking Ranks Battalion, as well as three thousand cavalry. However, I would like to borrow Xu Chu and Dian Wei from my lord!”
"This way, I have enough confidence to defeat the Xiongnu!”
Seeing Zhang Yu's request and the confident look on his face, Cao Cao naturally agreed!
With Zhang Yu's ability, he could kill 3,000 Western Liang cavalrymen and capture 2,000 of them. It should not be a problem for him to deal with Yu Fuluo!
Thus, Zhang Yu led Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Gao Shun, along with 3,000 iron cavalry and 1,000 heavy armored cavalry, straight towards the Xiongnu army!
Those thousand heavy armored cavalry were naturally the Breaking Ranks Camp that Gao Shun trained!
This army was made up of heavily armored cavalrymen on their warhorses and heavily armored infantry!
Because they were wearing heavy armor that weighed tens of kilograms, it was inconvenient for them to move. Therefore, they had to be one person and two horses during the march to reduce the consumption of physical strength!
Only when they were in front of the two armies would they be able to display their might!
It was also because of this army that Zhang Yu had the confidence to defeat the 8,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen with 4,000 soldiers!
Not to mention, with a peerless general like him taking the lead, and with two super first-class generals like Dian Wei and Xu Chu around!
If they could kill Fu Luo and cause the morale of the enemy to collapse, it would be enough to achieve a complete victory!
After Zhang Yu dispatched his troops from Chenliu, the scouts along the way passed the news of the Xiongnu cavalry to Zhang Yu!
Previously, Yu Fuluo had sent troops to attack the Si Li area and was preparing to head towards Yanzhou!
On their way back, they were discovered by Cao Cao's scouts in Chenliu and Dongjun. Right now, Yu Fuluo's army was resting at the border between Dongjun and Henei!
Zhang Yu immediately said to Dian Wei and Xu Chu after receiving the news!
"That old fellow Yuflo hid himself well. Later, I will lead the soldiers who are good at archery to destroy the Xiongnu scouts and cut off their contact. Then, I will take advantage of their unawareness to lead the troops and attack!”
"I'll take this opportunity to attack the leader of the bandits, Yu Fuluo. If I can kill him, the morale of the bandits will definitely fall. After that, Xu Chu and Dian Wei will each lead a thousand cavalry and attack from the left and right!”
"In this way, the Xiongnu cavalry will definitely be in chaos and flee in a panic towards the north. Then, Gao Shun will lead the heavy armored cavalry of the Breaking Ranks Camp to fight the enemy head-on and wrap the enemy up!”
"Even if the situation changes and I am unable to kill Fu Luo, the Xiongnu cavalry will suffer heavy losses if they are suddenly attacked!”
After hearing Zhang Yu's words, the three generals received the order!
