Chapter 11 The Sunset of the Long River Section 33 Zhang Fei had been stationed in Fengting, and suddenly heard an urgent report from the defenders of Huangniuling, saying that the Han army had gathered at Dasanguan and that there was a possibility of attacking south, so he led the army to support as quickly as possible, intending to block the northern Xinjiang army at Huangniuling.

Who knew that halfway through, the defenders of Huangniuling reported again, and the Northern Xinjiang Army fought out of the Dasan Pass. Zhang Fei was shocked and ordered the army to drop their baggage and speed up their march.

At this time, he did not attach much importance to the southern attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army on Wudu, and now the main forces of the Northern Xinjiang Army are fighting in the Jing and Henan areas, and attacking Wudu from the direction of Guanzhong is just a diversion strategy for Chang'an.

Since it is a diversionary war, the number of troops invested is very limited, so there is nothing to worry about. When he rushed to Huanghuachuan and met the defenders who had evacuated Huangniuling, and heard that the vanguard army that had entered Wudu was Yu Poison's army, he suddenly realized that the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army was not on the battlefields of Jing and Henan, but in front of his own eyes.

The Northern Xinjiang Army is going to fight the western Xinjiang and Yizhou. Zhang Fei ordered the army to line up south of the Huanghua River, intending to block the attack to the death, so that the reinforcements from all walks of life could arrive at the Wudu battlefield in time, and set up a solid blocking formation from Fengting to Hechi and Xiabian.

The Huanghua River is adjacent to the old road water, surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is narrow, making it difficult to attack and defend. Yu Poison led the army to Huanghuachuan and immediately commanded the soldiers of the middle base battalion to attack.

For a while, the dense war drums resounded through the mountains and rivers, and the two sides fought to the death on the waterside of the ancient road. Wen Chou hurried to the front line, carefully checked the terrain, and ordered Sima Yi and Wei Yan to lead the two battalions of Huwei and Huya into the battlefield, lined up on the left and right flanks of the middle base battalion, set up ballistas, and equipped them with strong archers, shooting wildly at the enemy formation, covering the soldiers of the middle base battalion to break through.

The Northern Army's Tun Cavalry Battalion, Huben Battalion, and Shooting Battalion arrived at Huangniuling one after another, and Chen soldiers were ready to enter the battlefield at any time.

The commander of the army, Yan Liang and Huaxiong's town military camp, and Liang Baiwu's Wufeng battalion went out of the Dasan Pass at this moment, and learned that the forward army was blocked in Huanghuachuan, so they immediately stationed troops outside the pass.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but gasp when he saw the battle flags like clouds on the Huangniu Ridge in the distance, and the morale of the Northern Xinjiang army on the battlefield near was like rainbows and arrows like locusts, advancing step by step.

"My lord, there are at least 30,000 people on the two-mile-long mountain range from Huangniuling to Huanghuachuan, we can't stop it, let's retreat to Fengting and hold on." Ji Fang looked horrified and shouted repeatedly.

"Withdraw to Fengting, our troops are still insufficient, and we can't stop it." Zhang Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly,

"Urgently tell Lord Jian Yong and ask him to quickly ask for help from the King of Qin in Longxi, the King of Shu in Chengdu and Lord Yang in Hanzhong. Today, the Northern Xinjiang Army invaded on a large scale, seriously threatening the security of Longnan and Bashu. There will be a hard battle in Wudu County, so please do your best to support from all over the country. In particular, the replenishment of grain, grass and ordnance is the top priority. ”

"Tell Lord Huang Zhong of Hechi again, please ask him to immediately lead the army north and meet me at Fengting." On May 30, Jian Yong wrote to Xiangyang urgently, asking the Xiangyang court to provide as much money and food as possible to help the army hold the counties in the area of Longnan.

Jian Yong urgently wrote to Liu Bei, the king of Qin, that the Northern Xinjiang Army had entered Wudu, and there was no grain and grass to supply Longxi in the short term, please try to solve it by yourself.

Jian Yong urgently told Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, to find a way to supply grain and grass as soon as possible in order to keep the gateway of Bashu.

Jian Yongshu told Hanzhong to guard Yang Song and asked for rapid support. On May 30, Yan Liang personally rushed to Huanghuachuan and supervised the fierce battle.

Zhang Fei suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw to Fengting to join Huang Zhong's army, and stubbornly held out according to the favorable terrain.

In the second year of Yuanping of the Great Han Dynasty (204 AD), June. At the beginning of June, the Son of Heaven sent the eldest princess back to Liyang.

Three days later, the general sent his wife and children to Liyang. That night, the general summoned Yan Wuxing and He Feng, two generals, in the mansion and solemnly instructed them.

Yan Wuxing had been ordered to report to Beijing for a few days, and he knew what the general meant by letting him sit in Jinyang, but Yan Wuxing was very worried about the situation in northern Xinjiang.

Yan Wuxing said that after the Fengyun Iron Cavalry returned to Jinyang, only the Ula Iron Cavalry was left to shock the desert, and the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry was now on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang, which was a golden opportunity for some Hu clan leaders who were ready to move in the desert.

Once the wolf smoke rises on the desert, it may be difficult for him and the Fengyun Iron Cavalry to continue to stay in Jinyang Gongwei Gyeonggi.

Li Hong didn't care, the battle in the western Xinjiang would not last long, and I would strive to completely defeat the Qiang people by the end of the year. As long as the war in the western Xinjiang is over, the armies of Yan Rou, Wei Jun, and Lei Zi will be able to return to the desert, and even if someone is ready to move, it will not affect the stability of the northern Xinjiang.

Yan Wuxing saw that the general was full of confidence, and the worries in his heart were partially eliminated. As long as the general is there, even if there is a rebellion among the Hu tribes on the desert, it will be difficult to regret the northern frontier.

The eldest princess set up a banquet in Liyang Palace to give food to the Son of Heaven and the general. Xiaoyu and Fengxue already knew the general's promise to the eldest princess, and during this time, the relationship between the two ladies and the eldest princess has become more intimate, and they have nothing to talk about, which will inevitably involve the future.

Although the two ladies felt that the future of the general and the eldest princess was bleak, they both buried this worry in their hearts, comforted the eldest princess as much as possible, and created more opportunities for her to stay with the general.

During the banquet, the eldest princess looked melancholy and forced a happy face. The Son of Heaven is her dearest relative, and the general is the hope and sustenance of her life, no one can lose it, but today the two of them are on an expedition to the western frontier at the same time, going deep into the wilderness to defend the territory, which makes her both worried and sad, and she cried several times.

The general and the two ladies tried their best to comfort them, but Xiao Tianzi was ignorant, immersed in excitement, and talked and laughed with Li Wen and Li Xiuyou.

Li Xiu was very envious of Xiao Tianzi being able to go to the battlefield again, and he seemed lonely and helpless in his words, and Xiao Tianzi was very surprised to seize a rare opportunity to attack Li Xiu

"Arrogant", saliva sprayed wildly, and she almost pointed at Li Xiu's nose to ridicule her. The more Xiao Tianzi talked, the happier he became, dancing with his hands, but Li Xiu became more and more aggrieved and cried.

The vanity of the little Tianzi was greatly satisfied, and when he was ecstatic, he suddenly saw Li Xiu crying, and his sympathy immediately swelled,

"Don't cry, I'll take you with me, okay?" Li Xiu immediately burst into tears and laughed, and hugged Xiao Tianzi's arm,

"Words count, lie to people that you're a puppy." When the Son of Heaven saw Li Xiu's sly smile, his vest suddenly cooled and he regretted it.

It's not good, I've been fooled, take this little ancestor with me, do I still have a life? Xiao Tianzi can't wait to give himself a mouth, what is not easy to say, why do you say this, how can you deceive her tears?

I'm done. The next day, the eldest princess, Xiaoyu, Fengxue, Yan Wuxing, He Feng and others sent the Son of Heaven and the general thirty miles away, and then they said goodbye in tears.

On the way back to the city, the eldest princess was in the same car with Xiaoyu and Fengxue, and no one noticed Li Xiu. Fengxue thought that Li Xiu and Yan Wuxing were together, but Yan Wuxing and the others thought that Li Xiu had run to the eldest princess's carriage.

It wasn't until after returning to the city that Fengxue found out that Li Xiu was missing. The eldest princess and others surrounded Li Wen for a while, and even coaxed and cheated, and Li Wen said that she secretly ran away with Xiao Tianzi.

The wind and snow were in a hurry, and they had to chase after the prancing horse and whipping. The eldest princess stopped her, and listened to Yan Wuxing catch up with the general with a few personal soldiers, and then asked the general to persuade Li Xiu to come back.

With Li Xiu's character, except for the general, no one can persuade her to come back, even if she is caught, she will try her best to run to the western frontier, and no one can stop her.

Yan Wuxing caught up with the general. Li Hong thought for a while, then turned his head to look at Xiao Tianzi. Xiao Tianzi looked at ease, like no one.

Yan Ba, Pang Hui, Li Xin, and Zhao Tong were all in armor, and surrounded a soldier in black armor in the middle, and that person was obviously Li Xiu.

"Since she's going, let her go." Li Hong said with a smile,

"This child likes to fight, and she dreams of galloping on the field, so let her fulfill this wish." Yan Wuxing was dumbfounded,

"General, Madame won't agree, please ......"

"I don't have a son...... Li Hong suddenly whispered,

"I also want to take my son to kill the enemy side by side, and ...... bloody field" Li Hong slowly turned his head to look at Li Xiu in the distance, and there was a trace of regret in his tone,

"I'm getting less and less chance to go to war, so it's a wish of mine." Yan Wuxing's face changed slightly, and he no longer advised.

"Don't say that, you know it." Li Hong reached out and patted Yan Wuxing's arm gently,

"Tell Madame that I will take good care of her and bring her back intact." Yan fearless bowed down to receive the order.

In mid-June, the Son of Heaven and the general traveled day and night to Zhiyi City, Hanyang County, Xiliang. The general of the chariot cavalry, the former general Yushi, and other generals greeted them outside the city.

Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Ling Ru, Zhang Ji and other officials of Xiliang Wenwu visited the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven comforted him with kind words, and solemnly promised that this personal expedition would definitely recover the western Xinjiang and defend the territory of the Han Dynasty to the death.

The general summoned the generals to the meeting. Fu Gan explained the current battle situation in detail. Yan Yan led the army to withdraw into Wudu County, and Wei Kang and Yang Fu led their troops to surrender.

Under the persuasion of Huangfu Li and others, Yang Fu pretended to break through and successfully returned to Wudu County to persuade Wei Duan and other Xiliang officials, and strive to cooperate with the Han army attacking Wudu County to kill Liu Bei and other rebels at an appropriate time, and encircle and annihilate the rebels.

Pang De, the general of the expedition to the west, Ma Chao, the general of the Qiang Protector, and Nie Xiao, the king of the Qiang in Huangzhong, have led some iron cavalry to the west, intending to attract the Qiang people to the front line of Jincheng and Yuzhong, and then try to get in touch with Yan Rou, the general of Zhenbei, and strive to meet the two armies in the second half of this month or the beginning of July, and surround the Qiang people in Jincheng to decide the victory or defeat in a battle.

After General Pang De's iron cavalry entered Hanyang, it alarmed the Qiang cavalry active in the area of Pingxiang and Chengji, and they quickly withdrew to the bank of the Yellow River. Now, if our 40,000-strong army advances at the same time, plus the 20,000 Xiliang army and the iron cavalry of General Yan Rou, who is fighting on the north bank of the Yellow River, the total strength will be nearly 90,000. This will make the Qiang people realize that we are besieging them, and the Qiang people may scatter in a hurry, abandon the pastures around the river, and flee to the mountains, so our strategy is to ......" Fu Gan pointed to the map and said loudly,

"Let General Pang De lead some iron cavalry to lure the enemy in advance, and attract the Qiang people to Jincheng and Yuzhong as much as possible. The main force of the army and the Xiliang army marched day and night, quietly rushing to the area around Muyuan to stand by. Once the main force of the Qiang people was attracted to Jincheng and Yuzhong, the Xiliang army immediately crossed the camel ridge trail and inserted it between Jincheng and Yuzhong City, cutting off the Qiang people's retreat. The main army crossed the Kwai Yuan Gorge and attacked the Qiang cavalry head-on. ”

"Camel Ridge Trail." Li Hong muttered in a low voice, and his thoughts couldn't help but fly to eighteen years ago. When Lord Zhang Wen led his army to attack Han Sui, Zhou Shen's army was surrounded under Yuzhong City, and later Xu Rong led them to break through smoothly from the Camel Ridge Trail, and introduced Han Sui's army into the ambush circle set by Li Hong, and won the battle.

But since then, the Han army has never crossed the Kuiyuan Gorge, and never crossed the Hehuang grassland to reach the Longqi Border Fortress.

Eighteen years later, he led a large army into the western frontier again, and will lead the army across the Kwaiyuan Gorge and advance to the endless Hehuang region.

Eighteen years, what a long time. Li Hong turned his head to look at Lu Yi who was sitting beside him, looked at the jade that he had fought with for twenty years, and looked at their weather-beaten faces and the white hair on their sideburns, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour.

An unspeakable sadness and desolation suddenly permeated the body. It's been eighteen years, and the Qiang handsomes who crisscrossed the western Xinjiang such as June thunder and northwest rain have been dead for eighteen years, and the Qiang handsomes such as Storm Sand and Nie Xiao are also old and gradually forgotten by the Western Xinjiang.

Today's Western Xinjiang is the world of the young generation of Qiang handsome, such as Hongri and Tietou. Is the new generation of Qiang cavalry more powerful than those battle-hardened soldiers eighteen years ago?

The "Camel Ridge Trail" also touched the heartstrings of many generals, opening their dusty past for many years, and the big tent suddenly fell silent, and a faint sadness floated in people's tired hearts, echoing in their eighteen years of fighting horses.

Koji looked up at the clear blue sky outside the window, wondering if he remembered the Longqi Fortress that he had fought for many years when he was young.

Yang Qiu stroked the long gray beard on his chest, and he didn't know if he remembered Lao Bian, Beigong Boyu, and Han Sui, who had struggled all his life in Western Xinjiang.

Jia Xu lowered his head, a little tear welled up in the corners of his eyes, I don't know if he thought of Dong Zhuo, and remembered the countless old people who died with glory and sins.

Fu Gan looked at the ground under his feet, and wondered if he remembered his father and the bloody and tragic Battle of Yicheng.

Li Hong sighed, breaking the sad atmosphere in the big tent,

"Do the Qiang people know the movements of the Xiliang Army at present?" Fu Gan hesitated for a moment and nodded,

"In the eyes of the Qiang people, the Xiliang Army is nothing more than three ways out. One is to be besieged and killed by us, the second is to flee or surrender, and the third is to flee into Wudu County. In short, they would not have thought that the Xiliang Army would be preserved intact. The Xiliang Army can definitely appear behind the Qiang people as a surprise army. Li Hong was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "The letter told the imperial court, asking them to speed up the transportation of grain and grass, and the army must complete the storage of all kinds of materials before the end of this month." Then he turned his eyes to Huangfu Li,

"Lord Huangfu seized the time to prepare for the establishment of government offices at all levels, and quickly moved the people of Xiliang back to Liangzhou. You tell the people of Xiliang that if I, Li Hong, can't kill the Qiang people and stabilize the western frontier this time, I will never withdraw my troops and never leave the western frontier. Huangfu Li, Ling Ru, Zhang Ji and others were surprised and delighted, and agreed with a bang.

In mid-June, Chang'an. Youzhou Thorn Shi Fan Fence 800 miles fast riding to report to the imperial court, the southern Xianbei King Shooting Moci died of sudden illness, and his eldest son Shelong should inherit the throne according to the rules, but Xiao Wang Shooting Yingtong thought that the death of Shooting Ink was not hidden, and suspected that Shooting Ink Ci was poisoned by someone, and was implicated in Shooting Long.

Using this as an excuse, she united a group of Xianbei tribal leaders and promoted Xiao Wang Shehu as the king of Xianbei in the south.

Shooting Yingtong and Shooting Tiger are quite prestigious in the desert, when they were young, they both followed the general to conquer the world, and they made outstanding achievements, and a group of powerful ministers in the Han court, and many Hu tribe leaders are friends of life and death, and their words are of course full of weight.

But Shelong is also very strong, he also has his own forces, and he also has the support of the powerful Danhan Mountain Xiaowang Fu Luohan.

The two sides are at loggerheads, each not giving in, and they are looking for help. Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Raccoon Dog in Xianbei in the north, Kirby Bear and Xiongba in Xianbei in the middle, Micah and Que Ji in Xianbei in the east were all pulled in.

Subsequently, Baishan Karasuma Dadan Yu Loulu, Kamiya Karasuma White Deer King Lu Pofeng, and Xiaowang Lu Huanyang were also dragged in.

Lou Lu and Shooting Yingtong and Shooting Tiger are brothers in life and death, of course he has to help his brothers. So he was indiscriminate and took the lead in firing a shot,

"Shooting Long for disobedience and murder of his own father is not punishable." Baishan Karasuma Qu Shuai Neng Chen, Daijun Karasuma Xiao Wang Xiuwu Lu are all friends of Shelong, and they have come forward to accuse Lou Lu of making something out of nothing and having ill intentions.

Lou Lu was furious, he had long wanted to find an opportunity to kill Neng Chenyi, this kid was against himself everywhere, and it was a scourge not to kill.

This is just right, there is an excuse, and the people of Hakuyama Karasuma fought first. The interracial brothers fought for their own business, and of course it was incumbent on Shelong and Sheyingtong to lend a hand, so the two also fought.

Seeing that the brothers were killing each other, Shooting Tiger hurriedly stopped it, but Shooting Long had the support of Fu Luohan behind him, and the powerful Lou Lu helped him behind Shooting Yingtong, and both of them were unscrupulous, and the more they fought, the more powerful they became.

Bailu Wang Lu is not good at interfering in the family affairs of the Xianbei people, he can only persuade the Loulu and Neng Chendi of the same clan.

But the situation on the desert is getting more and more critical day by day, and in desperation, he urgently told Youzhou Assassin Shi Fan Liang and Zhengbei General Xian Yuyin, asking them to come forward to mediate as soon as possible.

Fan Liang and Xian Yuyin already knew, but firstly, this is a family matter of the Xianbei people, and it is not easy to interfere, and secondly, Shooting Yingtong and Shooting Tiger are their brothers, if they come forward, they will give people the impression of being a bully, and the slightest carelessness will anger the other party, but it will provoke an incident and make the situation in the desert worse.

At this moment, the southern battlefield is still fighting, the Son of Heaven and the general are conquering the western frontier again, and the northern frontier urgently needs stability and cannot be chaotic, so the two hesitated and thought hard about countermeasures.

Who knew that at this critical moment, Lou Lu jumped out and ignited the first wolf smoke on the desert. The two of them were so angry that they beat their chests, and they couldn't wait to run to Baishan and cut off the head of Lou Lu.

It's come to this, and it's not okay if you don't show up. Xian Yuyin then traveled day and night, and rushed to Baishan and Danhan Mountain to mediate.

Xian Yufu had just come out of Juyong Pass, and there was bad news from Liaodong. Liaodong Karasuma Dadan Yu and his younger brother, Liaoxi Bailang Wang Lou Ban fought for the position of Dadan Yu, and turned against each other.

When Qiu Liju, the king of Bailang, died, the son-in-law Lou Ban was too small, so he asked the concubine to temporarily lead the Liaodong Karasuma Ministries, and when the Lou Ban grew up, he would return the power to Lou Ban.

But things are changing so fast that it's dizzying. Due to the rebellion in Liaodong triggered by Kirby Xiong's claim to be king, the Han army general Gongsun Zan was killed, and the Han immediately changed its policy towards the Hu people, and wantonly crowned the king and sealed the Da Danyu on the desert, trying to divide the Hu tribes and weaken the strength of the Hu people.

Bun Dun became the big single of the Karasuma tribes in Liaodong. When Lou Ban grew up, he said to Bunton, "According to my father's will, you should return to me the power to command the Karasuma tribes in Liaodong."

He said, "I have returned the throne of King Bailang to you, and I have fulfilled my promise to my father."

Now the authority that this Da Shan Yu and Da Shan Yu have is divided by the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with you.

Lou Ban was young, and he was afraid of the power of this eldest brother, so he turned around and went home, but Lou Ban's subordinates didn't do it, and Qiu Liju's old subordinates didn't do it either.

The authority that this Da Dan Yu has now is actually the authority that King Bailang had in the past, but the title has just been changed.

It can't be said that if the title is changed, the authority will not be handed over, isn't this a cheat? Lou Ban was unwilling to think about it, so he asked for help from Wuyan, the king of Khanlu, and Su Fuyan, the king of Qiao.

Wu Yan and Su Fuyan have long been dissatisfied with Badun, the two of them are also the Liaodong Karasuma Left Shan Yu and Right Shan Yu of the Imperial Seal of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, although the level is a little shorter than the big Dan Yu, but how to say it is also a single Yu, not a decoration, the matter of Liaodong Karasuma can not be decided by you alone.

Even if you have the final say alone, you can't benefit from one person, you take the money, food and treasures alone, and we don't even give you a mouthful of soup to drink, this is too much for no one to see, right?

The two did not hesitate, resolutely supported Lou Ban, and joined forces to put pressure on Bunton, asking Bunton to give up Da Shan Yu's position, not to be treacherous, and not to make a mess of fratricidalism.

He sneered and asked Li Su, the capital of Liaodong, for help, hoping to get his help and properly threaten Wuyan and Su Muyan.

Li Su and Gongsun continued to be overjoyed when they heard the news, they had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and they had let Bang Dun sit in the seat of Da Dan Yu for this day.

Li Su immediately sent someone and ran to warn Wu Yan and Su Muyan violently, this big order was divided by the emperor of the Han Dynasty, what qualifications does Lou Ban have to inherit now?

Is it dead? If you dare to make trouble again, Lao Tzu will cut off your heads. Wu Yan and Su Fuyan were mad, and immediately united with Lou Ban, and they were completely opposed to Badun.

The great Sima Xu Rong was shocked, convened the ministers overnight, and urgently told Lu Bu and Zhong Xuan that something was going to happen in the northern Xinjiang, and the war in the south should be ended immediately.
