Chapter 2084 White Lotus
In the eyes of Emperor Wei and even the courtiers in the capital, glasses were rare treasures, but in the eyes of Song Yan, a set of glasses was not as cost-effective as giving him a few hundred taels of silver.
A few days later.
Song Yan sent Su Bingwen out of Liangzhou City. From then on, Song Yan alone had the final say in Liangzhou.
Half an hour later.
Song Yan met Di Qiu, who was already a lieutenant general in Liangzhou, at the magistrate's office.
After more than a month of training, 15,000 recruits have barely formed an army, but to become truly elite, they still have to go to the battlefield!
Only through the baptism of the battlefield can new recruits become iron-blooded veterans.
What's more, after this period of repair, the rebel army in the northwest has begun to march into Xianlong Youxing Province.
Longyou Province has five prefectures and thirty-six counties, but there are only three military towns in the province, with a total of less than 10,000 troops.
But this ten thousand is only a superficial figure. After all, it has become a common practice for military generals to live without pay. If the rebel army really breaks into Longyou Province, it will be considered good if the three military towns can send three thousand soldiers and horses.
Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Longyou Province fell.
As for the army mobilized by the imperial court from various places, it barely reached 50,000 people, led by Wang Shang, Minister of War.
However, this Wang Shang was just a scholar, and how could he go to war?
It is almost impossible for him to lead an army of 50,000 to defeat the rebel army, and he will probably be defeated.
If Wang Shang loses, the imperial court may want to attack Liangzhou's soldiers and horses, but if Liangzhou's soldiers and horses are transferred, the Red Wolf clan will definitely take the opportunity to attack Liangzhou.
Therefore, he decided to take advantage of the arrival of the imperial court's order to deal with these three barbarian tribes first.
Among the three major barbarians, the Black Eagle tribe has the largest population, with more than three million people.
Next is the red wolf tribe, with a population of more than two million.
Finally, there is the Huhuo tribe, with a population of just over one million.
If it were other people, it would not mean that even with less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, even if there were 100,000 troops, they would not dare to fight against the three barbarian tribes, but Song Yan did.
After three days of preparation.
Song Yan left three thousand troops to garrison Liangzhou City, and then he led the remaining fifteen thousand people to set off.
Among these fifteen thousand species there are four thousand cavalry.
One thousand cavalry were the group of people who had followed him to defeat the eight thousand Red Wolf Army before, and the remaining three thousand were the new army.
Fifteen thousand people marched, and the momentum was extremely huge.
Therefore, just one day after setting out, the army was discovered by the Red Wolf Clan.
The Red Wolf tribe lives on the Tianlang Grassland and exists in the form of tribes. The small tribe only has 300 people, and the large tribe has 200,000 people. Today, the largest tribe in the Tianlang Grassland is called Tasha. tribe.
The red wolf soldiers who attacked Xifeng County before were from the Tasha tribe.
Although the Tasha tribe only has more than 200,000 people, it has 80,000 cavalry, which is quite terrifying. Although it has lost 8,000 people, it cannot affect the status of the Tasha tribe on the Tianlang Grassland.
Tianlang grassland, Tasha tribe, inside the sweat tent.
As the leader of the Tasha tribe, Meng Yuzheng was at the top of the list, and sitting on his left and right were the senior officials of the Tasha tribe.
The one on the left is his brother Meng Qi, and the one on the right is a woman. This woman is called Bai Lian. She is a strange woman. She is obviously a girl, but her strength is extremely powerful and has reached the level of a master.
Meng Yu looked around and said in a low tone: "I have received news that Liangzhou Jiedu Commander Song Yanzheng is leading an army to the Tianlang Grassland!"
"Hmph, this Song Yan really doesn't know how to live or die! Big man, let me lead my troops to kill this arrogant guy!"
Meng Qi said loudly.
Meng Qi is thirty-two years old this year and is in his prime. Moreover, this guy is born with supernatural power and is a rare martial arts prodigy. With a simple book of martial arts skills, he has also practiced to the master level. When his strength is fully utilized, he can even reach the master level. Peak, known as the first warrior of the Red Wolf Tribe on the Tianlang Grassland.
"Big man, I am also willing to lead troops there!"
Bai Lian stood up and said, people from the Red Wolf Tribe are born with dark skin, but Bai Lian's skin is unusually fair, and her body looks a bit delicate.
The red wolf tribe regards being strong as a beauty, because big breasts and big butts are good for fertility.
On the contrary, a beauty like Bai Lian was regarded as an ugly girl.
Hearing this, Meng Qi stared at the other party with great dissatisfaction: "Bai Lian, if you want to take my credit, you have to wait until you beat me!"
Bai Lian smiled and said: "General Mengqi, I don't mean to take credit from you, but I feel that with the few men and horses in the Liangzhou Army, there is no need for you, the number one warrior in the Tianlang Grassland, to take action. Isn’t it a pity that Liangzhou fled back to Liangzhou City after hearing about your reputation!”
Hearing Bai Lian's flattering words, Meng Qi was very happy. He patted his chest and said, "You are right. As soon as I, the number one warrior in the Tianlang Grassland, take action, it is really possible for the Liangzhou Army to escape. In this case, this credit will be given to me." Give it to you!"
"Thank you, General Mengqi!" Bai Lian said quickly.
In the end, Meng Yu allocated eighteen thousand cavalry to Bai Lian and asked him to annihilate the Liangzhou army.
After three days of march.
The army led by Song Yan finally arrived at the edge of Tianlang Grassland.
"Sir, do you want to continue moving forward?" Di Qiu asked.
"No!"
Song Yan waved his hand: "Let's set up camp here!"
The Red Wolf Clan had already received the news about their march in such an upright manner. With the pride of the Red Wolf Clan, they would definitely not wait for them to march into the Tianlang Grassland before counterattacking.
The most likely thing is that they send troops to stop them.
Just before the army had completely settled down, thunderous sounds of horse hooves could be heard on the grassland.
"Sir, the army of the Red Wolf Clan is coming!"
Di Qiu came to report.
"Line up to meet the enemy!" Song Yan said in a deep voice.
Soon, the entire camp was in action, but because most of them were new recruits who had never been on the battlefield, and the Red Wolf Cavalry was approaching, it seemed chaotic.
When the red wolf cavalry approached the main camp less than 500 meters, they barely completed the formation.
"Who is Song Yan? Come out and show me, General!"
At this moment, a clear but loud woman's voice sounded, and it spread throughout the entire camp in an instant.
"That's me. Who is this girl?"
Song Yan led four thousand cavalry to the camp and asked with a smile.
"You are Song Yan!"
Bai Lian looked at Song Yan curiously, and then raised the corner of her mouth: "You are born with tender skin and tender flesh. Well, I like you very much and decided to capture you as a male slave!"
"The barbarians are wanton!"
Di Qiu couldn't help but shouted.
Song Yan waved his hand, looked at Bai Lian with great interest, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there is a beauty like you in the Red Wolf Clan. When I defeat you, how about you come to my side and be a personal maid?"
Hearing Song Yan call Bai Lian a beauty, all the red wolf generals around Bai Lian rolled their eyes, and then burst into loud laughter, because Bai Lian was notoriously ugly on the grassland.
Bai Lian was stunned. This was the first time someone praised her appearance. It felt very strange. However, when she heard the laughter of a bunch of bastards under her men, she was quite annoyed and couldn't help scolding: "You guys are all here." Shut up, if you dare to laugh again, I will cut out your tongues!"
