Chapter 176: Lightning Attack on the Huns

Walking through the bustling crowd, we returned to the familiar military camp.

Guo Xiaoping had already arranged a welcoming banquet.

When the five thousand Wei Wu soldiers saw Sheng Huaian, they all shouted eagerly.

"Welcome, General!"

Sheng Huaian looked at the five thousand spirited Wei Wu soldiers and nodded with satisfaction. Each of the Wei Wu soldiers had a strong cultivation level. The most ordinary soldiers were basically in the late stage of martial arts.

Most of the soldiers had already cultivated to the level of warriors.

It seems that Guo Xiaoping was still very concerned about training soldiers.

"Comrades, I am very happy to see you. At the same time, I also thank you for your efforts in guarding Hexi County. Take a seat. Today, I will drink with you." Sheng Huaian said to the five thousand Wei Wu soldiers.

"Yes, General!"

The soldiers sat down one after another, and Sheng Huaian also took the lead to sit down. Wang Wu, Wang Zhan, Shangguan Shuo and others followed suit.

"Everyone, please feel free to do what you want." Sheng Huaian said to everyone.

The banquet started, and after a while, Guo Xiaoping spoke.

"General, can you change someone to guard Hexi County? I want to follow you to fight the enemy."

Among all the generals, he was the only one guarding Hexi County. The others followed Sheng Huaian to fight on the grasslands and fight with foreign races. He couldn't hold back.

"Fighting with foreign races on the grasslands is basically a cavalry battle. You are a Wei Wuzu. Do you want to lead the soldiers to run and charge?" Sheng Huaian said unhappily.

Guo Xiaoping scratched his head. It was really too boring to guard Hexi County, and there was no war to fight.

"Don't worry, train the soldiers well, and you will have enough food and grass resources. You have to train a real elite for me. There will be plenty of battles for you to fight." Sheng Huaian said.

"Yes, general!"

"At the same time, you are recruiting 5,000 strong soldiers to increase the number of troops to 10,000. After all, you are now a general of the Central Army. It is just right to command 10,000 troops. I will order the craftsman workshop to make the heavy armor of the Wei Wuzu." Sheng Huaian said.

Most of the money earned from the wine shop, in addition to buying elixirs and supplies, Sheng Huaian invested it in the craftsman workshop to increase the productivity of weapons.

With Sheng Huaian's order, Guo Xiaoping was happy. If there were 10,000 Wei Wuzu, he would not be afraid even if the Huns' 100,000 troops came.

"Wang Wu, go to Anning Pass tomorrow and tell General Yang Ye to recruit soldiers to full strength and train them as soon as possible. I will provide them with supplies." Sheng Huaian said to Wang Wu.

"Okay, General, I will go to Anning Pass tomorrow." Wang Wu nodded.

Now Sheng Huaian is in charge of Dingzhou, Yongzhou and Hexi Protectorate, and Sheng Huaian is thinking about strengthening the Anning Army so that he can transfer the Anning Army to participate in the battle.

Shangguan Shuo was happy when he saw this. It seems that there will be another war.

While drinking, Sheng Huaian got to know Zheng Fang and Qin Lin again. Their military abilities were not outstanding, and their cultivation was barely okay.

In his eyes, the cultivation of the Grandmaster in the early stage was really like that.

The 100,000 troops brought by the two were not strong in combat effectiveness. Many of the soldiers were ordinary people, which was a bit behind the powerful Hexi Army.

Fortunately, there were ten innate warriors under the command of the two generals, which strengthened the middle-level strength of Sheng Huaian's subordinates.

The next day, Shangguan Shuo bought a house in Hexi County, arranged his parents in Hexi County, and bought some industry to give his parents something to do.

Sheng Huaian inspected the craftsman workshop and the wine shop, and asked people to continue recruiting craftsmen to increase the strength of weapon manufacturing.

Soon he will have 200,000 troops under his command, which will require a lot of weapons and equipment.

After staying in Hexi County for a few more days and arranging various affairs, Sheng Huaian led the 100,000 troops under Zheng Fang and Qin Lin to Hexi County.

The mighty army arrived in Hexi County, and Hu Bing, Zhou Yuan, Lin Jiang, Wu Cheng and others were already waiting.

Seeing Sheng Huaian and others return, everyone was very excited.

"Welcome back, General!"

The entire Hexi Army shouted to welcome Sheng Huaian.

Qin Lin and Zheng Fang looked at the mighty army in front of them, and their expressions changed.

They thought that the five thousand Wei Wu soldiers of Guo Xiaoping they saw were already elite enough, but they didn't expect that the entire Hexi Army was so strong.

Sheng Huaian was also very happy to return to Hexi County.

"Gentlemen, be quiet."

Sheng Huaian pressed his hand, and the 40,000 to 50,000 troops instantly quieted down.

"Your Majesty's reward has come down, and all the Hexi Army will be promoted by one level and rewarded with ten taels of silver."

After Sheng Huaian finished speaking, the soldiers cheered.

"Zhou Yuan, Hu Bing, Wu Cheng, and Lin Jiang come forward to listen to the title." Sheng Huaian took out the imperial edict again.

"Yes!"

The four people stepped forward with fiery eyes.

"Your Majesty's decree, conferring Zhou Yuan the title of Viscount of He County, and General of the Central Army of Destroying Qi!"

"Conferring Hu Bing the title of Viscount of Yuan County, and General of the Central Army of Destroying Rong!"

"Conferring Wu Cheng the title of Viscount of Hexi County, and General of the Central Army of Destroying Di!"

"Conferring Lin Jiang the title of Viscount of Suiyuan County, and General of the Central Army of Destroying Qiang!"

"We thank the emperor for his grace!"

Zhou Yuan, Hu Bing and the other four were so excited that they danced with joy when they heard the title.

After riding horses and fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, they finally got their reward today.

The horses were full of joy, and the faces of several people were full of spring breeze, and their spirits were shining, and their mouths were almost crooked with smiles.

"See the Marquis, the Marquis is finally back." Prefect Chen said with a smile.

"Congratulations to Prefect Chen. In the future, Prefect Chen will take care of the political affairs of the Hexi Protectorate." Looking at Chen Tianhua, Sheng Huaian also smiled.

"It should be. I will definitely assist the Marquis and govern the Hexi Protectorate well."

Sheng Huaian nodded, and after returning to the barracks, he held a celebration banquet for Zhou Yuan, Hu Bing and others. Sheng Huaian also introduced Zheng Fang, Qin Lin and others to everyone.

In the following time, Sheng Huaian began to train the troops. He reduced the 100,000 troops brought by Zheng Fang and Qin Lin.

Under the command of the two, each led five regiments of 30,000 troops, and then let the two lead the soldiers to train riding skills.

After he dispersed the extra 40,000 soldiers, he distributed them to Zhou Yuan, Hu Bing and others.

When Jiang Linhu, the governor of Dingzhou, sent 50,000 civilians to join the army, Sheng Huaian threw these 50,000 people to Hu Bing and trained them hard for a month.

After the expansion of the army, Sheng Huaian had 250,000 troops under his command, plus 50,000 Rongdi slaves.

By drawing warriors from the army, Sheng Huaian supplemented the heavy armored cavalry to 5,000!

After training for half a month, when the armies were familiar with each other.

Sheng Huaian planned to raise troops, send troops to the grassland, and attack the Xiongnu!

"Come here, let Wang Wu come to see me!" Sheng Huaian said loudly.

"Yes, General!" A personal guard quickly went to inform Wang Wu.

Soon Wang Wu came to Sheng Huaian's tent.

"General, what do you want to see me for?" Wang Wu asked.

"Take your scout team to the Xiongnu grassland to get information and prepare for our army's expedition to the Xiongnu." Sheng Huaian ordered.

"Yes, General!"

Wang Wu received the order and disappeared on the grassland with his scout team.

Sheng Huaian also sent a letter to General Yang Ye at Anning Pass, asking General Yang Ye to lead 30,000 troops to the grassland to join him.

"Call Wu Cheng, Lin Jiang, Shangguan Shuo, Qin Lin, and Zheng Fang to me." Sheng Huaian said to Wang Zhan.

"I'll go now!" Wang Zhan left the tent and went to call a few people.

After a while, the five people came to Sheng Huaian's tent.

"I will see the general!" The five people said to Sheng Huaian with fists.

"Yes!"

Sheng Huaian nodded and said, "You five, go and gather the troops. Tomorrow, I will attack the Xiongnu."

"Yes, General!"

When they heard that they were going to attack the Xiongnu, Wu Cheng and his men immediately became excited.

Qin Lin and Zheng Fang did not expect that there would be a war so soon.

The troops were assembled. Wu Cheng, Shangguan Shuo, and Lin Jiang had 30,000 troops, Qin Lin and Zheng Fang had 60,000 troops, plus 30,000 slave troops and 3,000 heavy armored cavalry.

The total combat force was 123,000, and the auxiliary troops and food troops were 30,000.

Sheng Huaian left Zhou Yuan, Xiao Chuyi and Hu Bing to lead the remaining troops to guard the Hexi Protectorate.

Now that the Rongdi have been abolished, the only thing the Hexi Protectorate has to guard against is the Western Regions.

However, with the old soldiers stationed in the Hexi Protectorate, Sheng Huaian is not afraid of the Western Regions.

The next day!

"Gentlemen, go to war!!"

Sheng Huaian raised his spear high, and the sound of the horn of war resounded throughout the grassland!
