Liu Bao was like a frightened bird at the moment, he didn't dare to stay for a moment, along the way, he was like flying, riding his horse and galloping, and he didn't even dare to rest at night, he could only rush day and night, just hoping to escape the pursuit of the Wei army.

After escaping for two days and two nights, it was not far from Yanmen, the Huns were really sleepy and tired, and they were exhausted, so Liu Bao had to order the whole army to stop advancing, dismount and eat some dry food, rest and then leave.

In fact, Liu Bao himself couldn't resist it, such a rapid march, whether it was a man or a horse, was a little unbearable, if it wasn't for the chasing soldiers of the Wei army behind him, no one would be able to hold it out like this.

When it comes to life and death, people can often go beyond their limits.

Liu Bao leaned against a big tree, chewing a few pieces of air-dried beef, this kind of beef jerky is very hard, it takes a long time to chew to swallow, Liu Bao chewed a few times, before he could swallow it, he was already asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, Liu Bao was in a daze, and heard someone shouting: "The chasing soldiers are coming!" Immediately he struck a spirit, immediately woke up, and shouted in a deep voice: "Where are the pursuers?" ”

His subordinates showed him, and sure enough, in the direction behind him, countless cavalry appeared galloping towards this side, Liu Bao was shocked, according to the coming momentum of the pursuers, it was too late for them to escape.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Liu Bao spit out the beef jerky that he couldn't swallow and shouted loudly.

Many of the Hun soldiers fell asleep, heard the shouts, and then woke up, one by one panicked, some looking for leather armor, some looking for weapons, and made a mess.

Liu Bao didn't expect to encounter the Wei army's pursuit so quickly, looking at the tired remnants of the Huns, he expected that this battle would definitely not be the opponent of the Wei army.

However, Liu Bao had already made arrangements secretly, and at a critical time, he could give up this remnant army, and he and his cronies could be preserved.

The pursuers in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the sharp-eyed soldier saw the comer's outfit and shouted loudly: "My own people, my own people." ”

But no, the team that rushed here was not the pursuers of the Wei army, and like them, it was also a remnant of the defeated brigade that escaped from Jiuyuan City, the same panic, the same embarrassment.

After the two sides shouted from afar, Liu Bao learned that the person who came was Liu Jiao, the central handsome.

Liu Jiao's escape time was almost the same as Liu Bao's, and at the moment the city wall collapsed, he knew that Jiuyuan City was over, so Liu Jiao immediately made a decision and quickly rushed to the west gate of Jiuyuan City, which was the city gate controlled by his henchmen, Liu Jiao of course had priority access rights, and then, like Liu Bao, ran away with a large number of miscellaneous defeated soldiers.

The two armies will meet, and there is no excitement and joy of the division, but a little more sigh and lamentation, in Jiuyuan City, the Huns still have at least 50,000 or 60,000 horses, but after this battle, only more than 10,000 of them remained, and the rest of the men and horses were all lost in Jiuyuan City.

This is a heavy blow to Liu Bao and Liu Jiao, the Huns moved south to Bingzhou, it has been decades, although it is not enough to talk about food and clothing, living and working in peace and contentment, but over the years, the Huns finally do not have to be displaced, there is no fixed place.

But this rebellion gave the Huns a chance to regain their glory, but the result was extremely disappointing, instead of realizing the glory of their ancestors, they lost their territory like lost dogs.

This consequence is almost catastrophic, and the life and death of the Xiongnu have reached the point of danger.

Ignoring the sigh, Liu Bao and Liu Jiao began to discuss the question of what to do next.

Liu Jiao's suggestion was to go out of the fortress and defect to the Xianbei people, although the Xianbei people were their enemies, but since the Huns moved south to Bingzhou, there was no more war with the Xianbei people for decades, and the grudge between the two sides was no longer so deep.

Liu Jiao believes that as long as they are full of sincerity and believe that the Xianbei people will accept them, returning to the prairie is equivalent to returning to their hometown, and returning to the Xianbei people will also be temporary.

Liu Bao's idea is the opposite of him, Liu Bao believes that the Xianbei people are tyrannical, after the Xiongnu return to the grassland, it is difficult to coexist peacefully with them, and now the Xianbei people's power is quite strong, they led this point of soldiers and horses over, undoubtedly to hit the stone with eggs, not to die in the hands of the Wei people, but to die in the hands of the Xianbei people.

Liu Bao tended to cross the Yellow River westward to Shuofang to join the Qianghu, believing that this would be the last way out for the Huns.

Liu Jiao disagreed, believing that Qianghu was barbaric by nature and could not communicate at all, so he insisted on going north and returning to the grassland that the Huns were most familiar with.

Liu Bao did not argue with him, but lightly proposed that the two divide their troops and go their own way, so that the whole army could be avoided.

Liu Jiao immediately agreed to his suggestion, although the central Xiongnu and the left Xiongnu were adjacent, the relationship between the two families was not harmonious, and because Liu Jiao fell to Liu Meng, for a long time, he had a bad relationship with Liu Bao, even if the Xiongnu temporarily alliance, could not completely resolve the feud between the two families.

Liu Bao wanted to go west, of course Liu Jiao had no reason to refuse, but had some thoughts of schadenfreude, in short, as long as Liu Bao was not with him, it would be a more pleasant thing.

When dividing the troops, Liu Bao only wanted the Huns on his left, and he didn't want the rest of the people, so he gave them to Liu Jiao.

Liu Bao's generous move made Liu Jiao very happy, now it has come to this juncture, there are people who have the capital, and there are soldiers who have hope, Liu Bao actually gave up most of his subordinates, just with those subordinates on his left, what kind of climate can it become?

Liu Jiao was quite satisfied with the result of this division of troops, and he picked out the left part of the troops he led and handed them over to Liu Bao, and all the men and horses that Liu Bao accounted for the majority of.

There were not many people on the left in Liu Jiao's team at all, but a large number of people were exchanged, almost double the number of people he led.

Such a deal is simply too cost-effective.

Liu Bao's reaction to this was quite flat, and there was no complaint because of the small number of people, after raising the troops and horses on the hour, Liu Bao arched his hand at Liu Jiao, said cherished, and led his men and horses to the west.

Liu Jiao is so proud, Liu Bao is the king of Zuoxian, if Liu Bao is talking, he has always been pressed by him, and now they are parting ways, but it is exactly what he wants.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and after Liu Jiao and Liu Bao left, he immediately ordered to set off and head north.
