Chapter 150: The Dilemma of the Sun Riders
It is said that many high-ranking officials on the border are iron-blooded. If it were not for political needs, they would have killed all the annoying barbarians around them long ago.
Even if they wanted to leave the prairie empty, they didn't want to see these barbarian dogs.
But then again, the reason why the Hu people have continued to exist and even grown stronger is actually inseparable from the deliberate connivance of these people.
After all, when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked.
If they did not keep the enemy at bay to protect themselves, how could they fight against the civil officials in the complex political struggle?
Therefore, over the years, all the Han people have come to the idea that the Hu people are all dogs, who at most will bite you a few times and pose no danger.
It is precisely because of this situation that there are a large number of talkers and keyboard warriors in the Central Plains who use this method of criticizing the border to attract attention.
Anyway, the Hu people are all weaklings, let alone these frontier officials, I can do it too.
Instead of killing them every day, we might as well follow the saints' teachings and let these barbarians assimilate on their own, and use this method to suppress the power of the military officers.
It is precisely because the gap between the two sides is so huge that they resort to verbal ridicule and use it as a means of political struggle.
If the Hu people were replaced by the Northern Huns, no one from the education faction would be able to say such a thing.
They even wanted to grind the Northern Huns to ashes, so that they might be able to leave their names in history.
Isn't it all for fame, fortune and status that everyone is fighting for?
However, in normal times, the Han Dynasty fell apart and became extremely weak, and it still did not treat the surrounding Hu people as human beings.
You have to know that the grassland peoples at that time often had an army of one million, and it was not just a claim, but a real army of one million.
But even so, compared with the Han Dynasty, they had no fighting power at all and were so weak that they could be defeated by any of the princes.
However, it was for this reason that the Three Kingdoms exhausted their foundation and allowed the grassland forces to grow stronger.
This led to the subsequent tragedy.
Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, absurd yet beautiful?
A certain area in the Middle East, war-torn but beautiful!
When Jiang Wei and others met up with Guo Hao, they could only act as jailers to supervise the Hu people.
However, the Hu people were too submissive and did not even need to be driven away by Jiang Wei and others. They spontaneously carried Guo Hao's spoils and followed silently.
The Sun Cavalry stared at the arrogant Yulin Army with jealousy.
It was obviously us who came here first. It was obviously us who were the general's personal guards. It was us who guarded the general's rear. It was also us who accompanied the general through life and death. Why, why did you replace us?
The Sun Cavalry were even driven away from Guo Hao by the Yulin Army because they were too weak to protect Guo Hao.
The Sun Cavalry, whose numbers and strength were weaker than those of the Yulin Army, were taken by a part of the Yulin Army to a place where Guo Hao could not see and attacked fiercely. The Sun Cavalry, who were completely defeated, could only stare at the Yulin Army with eyes full of resentment.
The opponent deliberately beat them with the same number of people, and they didn't even have an excuse. The Sun Knights, who were inferior to their opponents in skills, could only bear all the grievances.
The Yulin Army's attack was extremely skillful. The beaten Sun Riders showed no visible injuries, and Guo Hao did not notice the friction between the two sides at all.
He studied his talent with great interest, and infused the national destiny into the Three-legged Golden Crow, causing the Three-legged Golden Crow's luck phenomenon to evolve in some way.
Not only did it look more dazzling, but Guo Hao could vaguely sense that the three-legged golden crow seemed to have developed some kind of intelligence.
But it was so vague that I couldn't hear a complete sentence, and I could only hear one word clearly.
"Hungry~"
However, what is certain is that Guo Hao was completely tied to the Han Empire, and they would prosper together and suffer together.
In order to defeat the Huns, the Han Dynasty put all the strength it could into the effort, and the Three-legged Golden Crow also acquired some kind of quality similar to national destiny.
Guo Hao could feel that the national destiny in the jade seal had even lost its shape, leaving only a tiny seed.
If there was no certain connection with the Three-legged Golden Crow, he would not have been able to detect the seed in the jade seal.
"Demote all these barbarians into slavery and force them to work. Give them all the hard work. When they have contributed enough, they will be released. If anyone escapes, he will be executed on the spot."
Guo Hao found an excuse to keep the Yulin Army stationed in Beiliang City. The Yulin Army did not think much about it and just thought that Guo Hao was worried about another attack by the Northern Huns, so they readily accepted the patrol mission arranged by Guo Hao.
With the Yulin Army patrolling Liangzhou, Guo Hao decisively withdrew Jiang Wei and Di Qing. An epic event was still taking place at Hulao Pass.
If he hadn't been worried about the Yulin Army leaking the news, he would have taken them back. Although he didn't know what the Miracle Legion was, he knew that the Yulin Guards were very strong.
The Sun Knights were very happy; they finally had another chance to serve as Guo Hao's personal guards.
However, while the Sun Cavalry was happy, the Yulin Guards were unhappy. They found a random reason to beat up the Sun Cavalry, calling it assault reinforcement.
Although the Sun Cavalry had indeed made some small improvements in strength, they silently kept the Yulin Army in mind.
They tried, and whether they used weapons or not, they could not defeat the Yulin Army, even when they used internal energy.
Moreover, without a leading general in command, they only knew a few of the simplest formations, while some of the opposing Yulin Army even knew how to form military formations, so defeating them was a piece of cake.
Their best achievement so far was to kill twelve soldiers of the Yulin Army, and that was achieved by a surprise attack.
Ever since the Yulin Army was on guard, they only replaced one or two people at most each time.
The Sun Riders were very dissatisfied and would go looking for trouble with the Yulin Army as soon as they recovered their strength every day.
At first, Guo Hao was worried that it would affect the harmony of the troops, but later when he found that it was beneficial to the progress of the Sun Cavalry and there were no casualties, he let it go.
After all, as his personal guards, it is a good thing for the Sun Knights to be stronger.
After seven or eight days of fighting, Guo Hao finally managed to gather a rough estimate of the situation in Beiliang City, and Jia Xu's military report was also delivered to Beiliang City.
As soon as Guo Hao saw that the coalition forces had suffered heavy losses, he knew that things were bad. He had originally planned to let Li Ru make some small moves, but he didn't expect Li Ru to do it all at once.
None of the princes like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are easy to deal with. If they are not killed by this wave of serious injuries, the coalition forces will surely unite as one.
But Guo Hao didn't care. With Xu Rong around, there was no need to worry about Hulao Pass.
It's not that he looked down on the princes, but he understood the significance of a commander of a large army on a large-scale battlefield.
He was mainly worried that the coalition forces would attack the city regardless of the cost, which would inevitably result in heavy losses.
These coalition soldiers will be the elite troops in the national war in the future, so they must not suffer too heavy casualties.
After receiving the information, Guo Hao could no longer sit still. He quickly summoned the Sun Cavalry and set off that same day.
