A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 655: Terrifying the Northern Desert

The light cavalry, leaving behind their food and baggage, rode two horses at maximum speed, making one raid after another.

Just when the leader of the Xianbei in Liaodong was thinking about how to survive the winter after losing so many soldiers and horses, he did not know that his life would stop in this autumn and he would no longer have to worry about the winter.

"kill!"

With a cry of killing, a team of Shura cavalrymen, wearing blood-stained robes and rushing straight into the tribe of the Liaodong Xianbei leader, as if they had just rushed out of hell.

"Enemy attack, stop them!"

The Xianbei leader heard the shouting and killing outside, and hurriedly walked out of the tent and asked his attendants: "What is going on? Who is coming to kill us?"

"Great leader, it's the Han army coming to attack us! It's the Han army!"

"Get out!"

The Xianbei leader did not even bother to tidy up his clothes. He hurriedly mounted the warhorse brought by his personal guards and tried to escape.

At this moment, a loud shout came from a distance: "Where are you escaping to!"

The sound was like a sudden thunderclap. The Xianbei leader was frightened and almost fell off his horse. He turned his head subconsciously and saw a man and a horse charging straight towards him.

The Xianbei leader shuddered all over and hurriedly urged his warhorse to move, only to find that the horse under him seemed to be suppressed as well and was actually trembling slightly.

The Xianbei leader didn't even bother to take care of his warhorse. He whipped the horse's butt and immediately fled to a place with fewer people.

However, it was too late. The Han knight rode up to him and pierced the Xianbei leader's body with his spear as fast as lightning.

The Xianbei leader only had time to look down at the tip of the gun on his chest before he felt his vision darken and his consciousness quickly fell into the abyss.

Lu Cheng stood up on his horse, used his spear to lift the Xianbei leader up into the air, and shouted in Xianbei language: "Your leader is dead, why don't you surrender quickly?"

The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone around turned to look at the figure at the tip of Lu Cheng's gun. Then the Xianbei people knelt down and surrendered, not daring to fight anymore.

"Put down your weapons, and those who surrender will be spared!"

Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao also shouted the same words in Xianbei language, and other Xianbei people also knelt down and surrendered.

At this point, the Liaodong Xianbei were directly defeated by Lu Cheng's Liaodong Army, the leader was killed, the leader's relatives were all captured, and most of the remaining Xianbei people, except for a few who escaped, were also captured.

At the same time, Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci each led a team of cavalry and, following the lightning tactics taught by Lu Cheng, attacked tribes all over Fuyu, setting fires everywhere and acting recklessly.

When Goguryeo next door heard that the Xianbei tribes and Buyeo were planning to attack Liaodong, they originally wanted to take the opportunity to get involved, but they did not expect the war to end so quickly.

Before the Goguryeo army even stepped out of its own gate, it encountered the elite troops led by Zhou Cang and immediately retreated without hesitation.

After defeating the Xianbei in Liaodong, Lu Cheng ordered Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao to lead all the cavalry to escort the prisoners and supplies back to Liaodong.

After all, the Liaodong Xianbei were also a powerful faction, with a large population and considerable wealth. The war horses, cattle and sheep alone were a considerable fortune.

Therefore, on the return journey, there were prisoners escorting supplies, and Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao each led 800 cavalrymen to escort them in front and behind.

As for Lu Cheng himself, he went alone into the Fuyu Kingdom, and cooperated with Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci to directly attack the Fuyu royal court.

Originally, the young Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci were somewhat soft-hearted and did not execute their lightning tactics thoroughly enough.

But after Lu Cheng arrived, he demonstrated it himself and led them to bypass the tribes and directly raid the Buyeo royal court.

In less than half a month, the Xianbei in Liaodong and the royal court of Fuyu were successively defeated. Lu Cheng and his generals were feared in Liaodong and their name spread to the northern desert. The Hu people outside the Great Wall were terrified at their name and even children stopped crying when they heard his name.

Such experiences made the Hu people outside the Great Wall recall once again the name they did not want to remember, the champion marquis Huo Qubing.

The legend of one Han fighting against five Barbarians seems to be coming true again.

The war between the Xianbei, Fuyu and Liaodong lasted less than half a month before it was declared over, but it took even longer to escort the prisoners and supplies.

When batch after batch of cattle, sheep, horses, and Hu captives were escorted into Liaodong, the whole of Liaodong was boiling again.

In the past, it was these Hu people who came to plunder, and the Liaodong military and civilians could only resist passively and bear the losses.

Now, their governor decided the outcome of the battle in one battle and destroyed the Liaodong Xianbei and Fuyu Kingdom one after another. How could the people of Liaodong not be excited?

At that moment, countless people poured into the streets to watch the captives. A strong sense of pride and honor filled their hearts, and the Liaodong people's worship and admiration for Lu Cheng, the governor, reached its peak.

When Lu Cheng led his soldiers back in triumph, the people on both sides of the road cheered loudly: "The governor is mighty!"

"Zhao Zilong on white horse and silver spear!"

"Taishi Ci is invincible with his twin halberds!"

"Huang Hansheng never misses a shot!"

"The power of Zhang Wenyuan in Changli is so great!"

The people cheered the names of these generals because they were their patron saints.

Generals such as Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci were also very excited. Isn't this the scene that generals seek when they fight on the battlefield, defend their country and maintain peace?

Whether it was the oldest Huang Hansheng or the youngest Zhang Wenyuan, they were all waving enthusiastically to the people around them.

There is no doubt that this victory greatly enhanced the sense of honor, pride and cohesion of the Liaodong military and civilians.

Before Lu Cheng led his troops back to Xiangping, some of the surrounding Wuhuan tribes took the initiative to surrender and were willing to live under the command of the Liaodong governor.

Not only that, many people from Liaoxi County, which was adjacent to Liaodong's vassal state, also began to flock to Liaodong.

In Youbeiping County, in the residence of the prefect Gongsun Zan.

After hearing his subordinates' report, Gongsun Zan was so angry that he slapped his chair and stood up. "It's Lu Cheng again! Xuande, recently some people from Youbeiping County have also fled to Liaodong. Do you think we should stop them? Cut off the road to Liaodong?"

Liu Bei, who was sitting below, quickly spoke up to stop them: "No, it would be unreasonable for us to block the road without reason. Moreover, the people are going there on their own initiative. If we block them, it will surely cause resentment. At this moment, we need to be more benevolent and keep the people."

Gongsun Zan frowned slightly. "Am I not good enough to these lowly common people? They actually want to leave my Beiping County and join the army of a Yellow Turban bandit! This is really absurd. When I think that this Yellow Turban bandit can become a governor and be on equal footing with me, I get angry! Sooner or later, I will raise an army to fight him!"

"Brother, don't act rashly. Lu Cheng is dominating Liaodong, and has 4 counties and prefectures. He has a strong army and abundant food. We can't fight him. We should take our time!"

"Are we just going to let them develop like this? No, we have to recruit soldiers and horses too!"

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other, all feeling helpless.

Thinking back to when they first met Lu Cheng, he was just a Yellow Turban general. The two sides had equal forces, so the other party had no choice but to stay away from the Central Plains and flee to Liaodong to avoid disaster.

Now, because Zhang Fei whipped the Inspector, Liu Bei resigned from the post of Anxi County Magistrate and had no choice but to come and seek refuge with his senior brother Gongsun Zan, while Lu Cheng had already occupied Liaodong and was dominating the northern desert.

The difference between people is sometimes greater than the difference between people and dogs.

When they thought of this, no matter how proud the three Liu Bei brothers were, they had to admit that Lu Cheng was powerful and capable...
