Chapter 78: Invasion

In the golden autumn of October, it was only half a month after the letter from Hu Chuquan, and Liu Wei had already received the news of the Huns' attack.

"Your Majesty, Hu Chuquan has already raised troops, and it won't be long before the army will arrive at Yanmen." Xi Zhicai watched Liu Wei open his mouth to report.

"Not only that, Hu Chuquan also persuaded Xianbei and the Qiang people to send a total of 100,000 troops to kill the generals."

"Qiang and Xianbei?" Liu Wei was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Hu Chuquan to pull the Qiang and Xianbei people so quickly.

"It seems that this Hu Chuquan has some ability." Liu Wei immediately spoke.

If it was to call Chuquan as a Hun Shan Yu at the beginning, I am afraid that he might not be able to use the discord to defeat the Huns at the beginning.

"His ambition is even greater than that of his brother Yufro." Xi Zhicai listened to Liu Wei's words and then answered.

If he had no ambition, how could he cling to the position of melancholy? will not kill his brother and seize the throne. Liu Wei said.

Liu Wei is naturally clear about Hu Chuquan's ambitions, and it is precisely because he took a fancy to this point that he will be separated from Hu Chuquan to give him a chance to win the position.

"This time, the 100,000-strong army of foreign races came with great momentum, "Once it is allowed to break through the city, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it will inevitably be a disaster for our Han people." Xi Zhicai said.

"The alien race is fierce and aggressive, and lives on nomadism, and its combat effectiveness is indeed stronger than that of ordinary soldiers in our army." Guo Jia also spoke at this time.

"However, this time the alien army sent 100,000 troops, which is probably a lot for the alien race, if it is defeated in this battle, the Hetao alien race will inevitably collapse." Guo Jia spoke again and analyzed.

"If you can defeat the alien race this time, then Your Majesty will sweep away the alien race and recover the plastic county will be at your fingertips."

Of course, Liu Wei knew what Guo Jia meant, compared to the Han people, whether it was the Xiongnu, the Qiang people, or the Xianbei, they did not have an advantage in numbers.

In particular, these are only alien races in the Hetao area near Bingzhou.

100,000 soldiers, which means 100,000 young adults, must be the majority of the clan for foreign races.

Once defeated, it means that the living power of the alien race has been greatly consumed.

Without their existence, then the alien race will only be left with some old and weak women and children, so it will be vulnerable.

The most obvious is that during the period of Emperor Wu, Wei Huo went deep into the desert and eliminated the main force of the Xiongnu tens of thousands, although the number was not large, but the Xiongnu only went away from the desert and recovered for hundreds of years.

"Therefore, the three clans raising troops together is not only a pressure for us, but also an opportunity."

Liu Wei nodded, if he grasped the opportunity this time, it would be the best chance for him to recover the Hetao area and then solve the troubles of the Xiongnu.

"This battle, I have already predicted, and it is also an unavoidable battle, if we retreat, then the people of the Han Dynasty will be robbed, killed and injured countless times."

"Han Sheng, I ordered to lead three thousand Mo sword teams, as well as ten thousand crossbowmen to guard the Yanmen, and not let the aliens step into half a step." Liu Wei looked at Huang Zhong and said.

"The last general commands." Huang Zhong immediately received the order and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as I, Huang Zhong, am in Yanmen for a day, Yanmen will not fall into the hands of foreign races." ”

"Then leave everything to Hansheng." Liu Wei looked at Huang Zhong and said.

"In addition to Yanmen, the Yin Pavilion in the northeast is also an important pass for guarding the alien race this time."

"The Yanmen of the Yin Pavilion echoes each other from afar, if the Yin Pavilion is broken, the Yanmen Gate will inevitably be difficult to hold, the Yanmen is guarded by General Huang, and the Yin Pavilion cannot be despised either." Xi Zhicai spoke.

For the Yin Pavilion Liu Bian is known, the Yin Pavilion City was built during the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and it is also a military fortress that guards the Yanmen Pass, which has been reinforced by the past dynasties. Nowadays, the city wall is as high as six zhang high, about 14 meters in today's size. The city wall is also made of bluestone, with a thickness of about three meters.

Therefore, the Yin Pavilion and the Yanmen Gate are also important passes to defend against foreign races, and important strong pools.

Once these two places are breached, then the alien race can go deeper into the land of the annexation as before.

At that time, it would be really difficult to stop the 100,000 alien army with 50,000 horses on his side.

"I will personally lead the army and guard it with you, echoing with General Huang Zhong." Liu Wei said.

This war with foreign races is not only related to the safety of the state, but also related to whether he can solve the foreign races in the Hetao area and the Southern Xiongnu in one fell swoop.

So how could he, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, retreat from this battle.

Three days later, Huang Zhong led the army into Yanmen, and Liu Wei, Guo Jia and others also led 30,000 horses into the Yin Pavilion.

Liu Wei led the army to settle in the two passes, and Hu Chuquan and others naturally received the news.

"Now that Emperor Han has personally led a large army to guard the two passes, their military horses are the reliance of the state, once they are destroyed, then the state will be in our bag."

In Hu Chuquan's big tent, Hu Chuquan looked at the people next to him after receiving the news and said.

"Having said that, two levels are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it will not be easy for us to attack them." After listening to Hu Chuquan's words, a person next to him spoke.

He was born burly, and the clothes on his body were a little different from those of Hu Chuquan.

"Qu Li It seems that you Qiang people have not made any progress over the years, and you have lost your courage from before." At this time, the other person next to him looked at the man with some disdain and said.

"What do you mean by this? I'm just talking about it. After listening to Bu Dugen's words, Qu Li said with a little displeasure.

"Okay, don't be angry, we sent troops this time to snatch food for our clansmen for the winter, and there is no need to make noise for the Han army." Hu Chuquan hurriedly spoke.

"If we fight among ourselves at this time, then we will give the Han army a chance, and please work together, everything is for our people."

After listening to Hu Chuquan's words, Bu Dugen and Qu Li did not continue to fight.

"We have an army of 100,000, but we can take advantage of the Han army's new arrival and fail to gain a foothold, and divide our troops to capture Yanmen and Yinguan in two ways." Hu Chuquan looked at Qu Li and Bu Dugen and said.

"When the time comes, take the Yanmen Yin Pavilion and attack Bingzhou, and when the time comes, I will capture a few more Han people and let them be slaves." The leader of Xianbei, Budugen, laughed and spoke.

"Haha, that's right, this time my Huns raised troops, it was for revenge, the two helped each other, and when the time came, Hu Chuquan was naturally grateful, and treated each other with great courtesy."

Hu Chuquan also spoke after listening to Bu Dugen's words.

"Since we want to divide the troops, then I will personally lead the army to capture Yanmen Pass, and you will capture the Yin Pavilion?" Xianbei Budugen said.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Hu Chuquan said with a smile.

"However, the Han army is full of tricks, and the leader of the step also needs to be careful and guarded."

At this time, in the Yin Pavilion, Liu Wei naturally did not dare to relax, and when everyone came to the Yin Pavilion, they had already begun to set up defenses.

Outside the Yin Pavilion, there is a depression, and there is an empty desert with no end in sight.

Liu Wei knew that this place was often invaded by foreign races, so it was naturally difficult to develop, although there was a lot of land outside the Guan, but for the people, they did not have the ability to reclaim.

"Your Majesty has now found out that this time the Xiongnu have Huchuquan personally led the army, Xianbei is the leader of the Budugen, and the leader of the Qiang people is Quli, the Xiongnu is the strongest among the three foreign races, Xianbei is second, and the Qiang are the last."

"Hmm. I see. Liu Wei nodded and said.

At this time, the main scope of activities of the Qiang people was in Liangzhou, Yizhou, and the Hetao area was only a small part.

As for Xianbei, it is also divided into three tribes, and this step is also much weaker than Kirby's.

However, Kirby can mainly be active in the border around Youzhou.

"Your Majesty, this time to guard the two passes, I'm afraid that the alien race will divide the troops, and it doesn't hurt that there are 30,000 troops in the Yin Pavilion, but General Hansheng only has more than 10,000 people, I'm afraid it won't last long." Xi Zhicai spoke.

"The people of Yanmen are fierce and the eternal Xiongguan, I believe that there is no problem with Hansheng, and if he just blindly defends, it is not a strategy to break the enemy." Liu Wei said.

The next day, early in the morning, Hu Chuquan led the people to the city of Yinguan.

"Quickly call your Han Emperor out, and say that I have come back again." Huchuquan jumped forward and said proudly towards the city.
