Chapter 16

: Stay prepared

Author: Magic Prince

Ready for the future

From then on, Xiang Yu replaced Hua Xiong and became one of Dong Zhuo's fierce generals. Dong Zhuo, who had seen Xiang Yu's power with his own eyes, was quite aware of Xiang Yu's strength.

Because Bingzhou is close to the northern border, there are quite a lot of Huns, Xianbei, Qiang and other barbarians. As the governor of Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo also has a large armed force. Whether on the surface or in private, Dong Zhuo has been recruiting troops. He is young.

When he was young, he met many foreign leaders. It is said that once several Qiang leaders came to Dong Zhuo as a guest. Dong Zhuo slaughtered the family's cattle to entertain them. These Qiang leaders were so moved that they gathered thousands of them after returning.

Breed livestock and give them to Dong Zhuo.

Later, due to the harassment by the Huns on the border, the governor of Liangzhou recruited Dong Zhuo to serve as a military official. Dong Zhuo led his troops to defeat the Huns and was recommended by the governor of Bingzhou to join the imperial palace. In the last years of Emperor Heng's reign, Dong Zhuo served as Yulin Lang.

Later, the Xianbei people and the Qiang people jointly rebelled. Dong Zhuo accompanied the army as Sima and defeated the rebel enemies. Dong Zhuo was known for his martial arts and strong body. He could use two quivers at the same time and shoot the bow left and right while riding a horse.

During the Xiping period of Emperor Ling, Dong Zhuo finally became the governor of Bingzhou and the governor of Hedong County. The geographical location of Bingzhou and Hedong County is very important. It is a key military defense area to protect Chang'an and Luoyang. The military power in Dong Zhuo's hands is also

Getting stronger and stronger.

After Xiang Yu became Dong Zhuo's general, he regained the opportunity to train and command the army. Dong Zhuo was quite surprised to find that Xiang Yu not only had genius-like strength in personal force, but also in training soldiers and leading troops in battle.

It's ridiculously strong.

It is even said that Dong Zhuo gradually began to feel a little bit afraid of Xiang Yu, because Xiang Yu's military qualities were so powerful. In fact, Xiang Yu did not get any good opportunities to show off his military skills.

strength, but after all, Dong Zhuo was also a man who often led troops in battles. He could really tell at a glance whether Xiang Yu had strength, even through some small things.

At the beginning, Xiang Yu was actually a little worried that Dong Zhuo would feel that he was too strong and threaten him, so he did not dare to use Xiang Yu with all his strength, but later Dong Zhuo showed an amazing belly. In fact, to some extent, Dong Zhuo's

His personality is indeed quite atmospheric. Although he sometimes appears moody, this is something Xiang Yu himself is very familiar with. After all, he once had such a personality.

Xiang Yu, who has a rather generous personality, met Dong Zhuo, who also had a rather generous personality. Although the relationship between the two of them cannot be said to be very good, it is indeed pretty good.

On the one hand, Dong Zhuo also saw that Xiang Yu was by no means a thing in the pool, and he would probably leave Dong Zhuo sooner or later to seek greater development, but on the other hand, Dong Zhuo was indeed a person who cherished talents, especially people like

Xiang Yu is a person who is extremely outstanding both in personal martial arts and in commanding troops in battle. He even admires Xiang Yu from the bottom of his heart.

Even though Dong Zhuo was dozens of years older than Xiang Yu at this time, he could still feel that Xiang Yu showed a maturity far beyond his age. This was a man with strong opinions of his own.

For Dong Zhuo, even if Xiang Yu cannot stay under his sect for a long time in the end, he must at least have a good relationship with Xiang Yu. Maybe some time in the future, the two of them can work side by side in another capacity.

Combat.

Xiang Yu himself didn't think that much. His main focus was on what he was best at, which was to continue to hone his physical fitness and combat ability on the one hand, and to train soldiers on the other hand. To be precise,

It's said to be training cavalry.

Dong Zhuo had previously captured a group of outstanding war horses from a group of Huns, so Dong Zhuo decided to train an elite cavalry unit, and Xiang Yu happened to become the general of this cavalry unit. Dong Zhuo had seen Xiang Yu's cavalry and archery.

His abilities, both in riding and archery, are extremely superb.

Dong Zhuo himself could shoot the bow left and right on horseback and attack the enemy with arrows from two quivers at the same time. He originally thought that this skill of his could be said to be the only unique skill in the world. However, during a conversation, Xiang Yu learned that

Knowing this, it turned out that it took Xiang Yu less than a week to learn this stunt, and Xiang Yu's accuracy in riding and shooting was actually better than Dong Zhuo's.

Dong Zhuo and Xiang Yu had a special competition. At the beginning, they were shooting at fixed targets. In this event, their strength was very close. However, when shooting at moving targets, that is, living animals, Xiang Yu's archery skills were different.

He greatly surpassed Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo could only shake his head slightly and sigh. It could be seen that he was completely convinced that he lost to Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu spent a year building this cavalry unit into a quite elite unit. In addition to the Han people, this cavalry unit actually included some barbarians, such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Qiang people.

Some of them have been living in the territory of the Han Dynasty since their ancestors, and some of them surrendered to Dong Zhuo during the recent rebellion, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they have very high talents and incompetence.

Older age.

Dong Zhuo saw that Xiang Yu was not very old, so he also thought of finding some young people who were also young but very talented. In this way, under the leadership of Xiang Yu, they might be able to gradually develop their potential. Of course.

The shortcoming of our army is the lack of actual combat experience. Although the soldiers are very talented, they are still a little immature after all.

Now there is an opportunity for Xiang Yu and this young cavalry regiment to show their strength. A small force of the Southern Xiongnu rebelled again. This time, the scale of their rebellion was not large. They were not able to assemble many others.

The Southern Xiongnu forces, but if they cannot quickly suppress this rebellion, then other Southern Xiongnu forces may also join in.

Dong Zhuo has always adopted an iron-fist approach to suppress the Huns' rebellions. Some of his previous efforts to quell the rebellions have achieved quite good results, making most of the southern Huns become much more honest. At least they are making decisions.

I will think more about it before rebelling.

So this time this small group of Xiongnu forces rebelled, other Xiongnu forces did not immediately stand up to support him. In fact, a very important reason was to see how Dong Zhuo would act. If Dong Zhuo still used the iron fist to suppress it,

In this way, they may no longer be willing to take the lead too early. If Dong Zhuo hesitates and the small group of Xiongnu forces gain some gains from their rebellion, then these Xiongnu forces may take the opportunity to surge in.

and started a rebellion on a larger scale.

After Dong Zhuo learned that the scale of the rebellion was not large, he decided to let Xiang Yu and the young cavalry trained by him be the main force in quelling the rebellion, while Dong Zhuo himself guarded the rear and did not personally participate in the quelling the rebellion.

Xiang Yu and his young cavalrymen have been waiting for a long time. They have been waiting for such an opportunity to prove themselves, so they were extremely excited after learning the news. For them who had never really been on the battlefield, the fate of their careers was

The first battle was against the Huns which was quite good.

Many of them have heard about the glorious deeds of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the Northern Expedition against the Huns during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. For them, it would be a good idea for them to be able to fight the Huns on the grasslands like their ancestors one day.

It was a childhood dream.

What's more, they have such an outstanding commander as Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu's training for them is extremely strict. At the beginning, many recruits had difficulty adapting to Xiang Yu's high-intensity training, but after a period of time, those who can adapt

The combat effectiveness of soldiers grows extremely rapidly.
