Dadan Yu Qiangqu was very angry when he heard that Tu had rebelled again. According to the current strength of the Xiongnu, it is simply wishful thinking to compete with the Great Han Kingdom. King Xianbei and Lian led an army of 120,000 to the south to attack the Great Han Kingdom, what was the result? Helian died, and the 120,000-strong army was almost completely wiped out. That doesn't tell the story? Although the country of the Great Han Kingdom has been plagued by wars and the country's strength is declining, it is still an invincible giant compared to today's Xiongnu.

Since the first year of Emperor Xiaoxuan of this dynasty (57 BC), Wudan caused civil strife in the struggle for the throne, the strength of the Xiongnu has been greatly reduced. Later, the leader of the Xiongnu Hu Han evil single attached to the Han as a vassal in Ji Hou Shan, the emperor of the Han State treated him with special gifts, and the big single was above the princes and kings, and in the twenty-fourth year of the Guangwu Emperor Jianwu (48 AD), the Hun was stationed in the south of the Xiongnu and the people of the eight tribes in the south of the Huns (Hu Han Xie Shan Yu Ji Hou Shan's grandson) surrendered to the Han State and established himself as Hu Han Xie Shan Yu, so the Xiongnu were divided into two parts of the north and the south, and the Xiongnu gradually went into decline since then.

In the first year of the filial piety of the dynasty and the emperor Yongyuan (89 AD), the army of the Great Han State attacked outside the Saiwai, the Han army and the army of Nandan Yu joined forces to attack the Northern Xiongnu, and broke the Northern Xiongnu in the north and south of the desert, and Beidan Yu fled after being injured, and led a part of the troops to move west in the third year of Yongyuan. After the Xianbei people raised the prairie, the remnants of the Northern Xiongnu were driven by the powerful Xianbei people to the northwest corner of the distant Mobei, and survived, and the remnants of more than 100,000 Xiongnu households in Mobei joined the Xianbei and became the Xianbei people.

The Southern Xiongnu, who submitted to the Great Han State, were allowed by Emperor Guangwu of this dynasty to first build a single court in Wuyuan, and then moved to Meiji in Xihe due to repeated attacks by the Northern Xiongnu. Shan Yudu had a close relationship with the Great Han State in the past dynasties, and they took the preservation of the people as their first priority, and never dared to disobey the holy decree of the emperor of the Great Han State, lest they anger the Great Han State and be exterminated, but today's Tu tribes have done the opposite, not only to provoke the Great Han State, but also to invade and attack the Great Han State.

What did the Tu tribes rebel want to do? Could it be that he just wanted to take advantage of the leopard Li Hong's absence to hit Taiyuan and loot property? Qiang Qu thought it was funny. Even if you can hit Taiyuan and grab countless treasures now, what about after that? The Han Congress will let you go? Will the leopards guarding the northern frontier let you go?

Once Li Hong, the general of Zhenbei of the Great Han Kingdom, returned from Youzhou and led the Han army north to crusade against the Tu tribes, what he had to deal with was not a Tu tribe, but the entire Xiongnu, so Qiangqu did not hesitate to rush out of Meiji with 3,000 men and horses, and rushed directly to the Xiongnu right tribe located on the south bank of the Yellow River. He wants to persuade Baima Tong again with the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, and he hopes that Baima Tong will be sober-minded and not insist on going his own way and causing disaster to the entire Huns.

The leader of the right tribe, the king of the tent, the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, was the king of the left valley of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting (a high-ranking Xiongnu official second only to the king of the left and right), and he also led the general of the left, and his power was very large. He and the right valley Liwang Baima Tong are close friends, and last year's mediation was facilitated by the Marquis of Subu Gudu.

After Da Shan Yu Qiangqu arrived at the tent, he was surprised to find that the Marquis of Xubu Gudu had gathered an army of 30,000 without him, and Bai Ma Tong's subordinate Danghu (a high-ranking officer of the Xiongnu) was also in his big tent. Qiangqu felt that the problem was serious, and this time Baima Copper was not a rebellion, but had another purpose.

Qiang Qu glared at the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, and asked loudly, "What do you want to do?" Want to make a big order? Was this Tuoba Feng's idea or White Horse Copper's idea? ”

The Marquis of the Beard Bone sneered and was silent.

"We Huns are fighting among themselves and fighting each other, who is better in the end? Is it you or Tuobafeng? Are we the Huns or the Xianbei? Qiang Qu scolded angrily, "The Xiongnu are in turmoil, how can the Great Han Kingdom stand by and watch?" The Fengyun Iron Cavalry and the Duliao Camp are all around us, and they will come over immediately. ”

"Da Danyu, do you think the 20,000 iron cavalry of the Han people can stop our 100,000 army?" Tie Zhongxue smiled disdainfully, "Da Shan Yu, don't dream, Northern Xinjiang is ours now." ”

Qiang Qu was shocked and asked in a lost voice, "100,000 troops? You have gathered an army of 100,000 and rebelled? ”

"Da Danyu didn't expect it, right?" Tie Zhongxue smiled, "You sit in the royal court of Meiji every day and drink the wine given to you by the Emperor of the Great Han Kingdom, and enjoy the beautiful women given to you by the Emperor of the Great Han Kingdom, how could you ever have thought about what we are drinking?" What are we enjoying? Do you know what we've been doing? ”

Qiang Qu calmed down and sneered: "Do you want to completely bury the Huns?" Have you ever thought about the ...... once Zhenbei General Li Hong returns from Youzhou?"

"Da Shan Yu, he can't come back." Tie Zhongxue laughed and said, "That leopard has arrived in Youzhou and is dead, you don't expect him to come back to save you." ”

Qiang Qu looked at them, shook his head helplessly and disappointedly, and strode out. He can understand the betrayal of the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, because he wants to be the big Dan Yu of the Huns, after all, his big Dan Yu was pushed by Zhang Xiu by the former Hun Zhonglang, not the legitimate successor, but he doesn't understand why the Marquis of Xubu Gudu and Baima Tong must have crossed the Great Wall, and what else can they do except plunder? Did you move the Huns to Taiyuan to farm? When the Huns and the Han people fought to the death, the Xiongnu were finished, and the Xianbei people swarmed down, not only the grassland was gone, but even the Huns were gone. A bunch of stupid and self-righteous Huns, who were not even interested in looking at it.

The Marquis of Xubu Gudu did not stop him and let him go, in his eyes, Qiangqu was already a dead man. He and White Horse Copper have been planning for this day for a long time, and today, they finally got their wish.

On the way back to Meiji, Qiangqu was surrounded by an army of 10,000 troops ambushed in advance by the Marquis of Xubu Gudu. After seeing the head of Qiangqu, the Marquis of Xubu Gudu immediately led a large army to kill Meiji. Shan Yuting's army was caught off guard and hurriedly responded to the battle, and Yufuluo, the king of Youxian, took advantage of the favorable terrain of the Pushui River to defend Meiji and resolutely defend Shan Yuting's territory.

＝＝＝

Without the slightest hesitation, Koji immediately ordered the army to rush to the rescue of Miji at full speed. At this time, the people who can rescue the Huns in the court are one by one, otherwise, how to explain to the Son of Heaven.

"Leizi, you personally rush back to Jinyang and ask Lord Xu for reinforcements."

"Inform the Great Wall Fortress and the Juzhu Fortress that the Huns rebelled and told them to prepare for battle immediately."

Koji Yi glanced at the generals in the tent and shouted loudly: "Those who offend me will be killed!" ”

When Bai Ma Tong heard that the Han army was suddenly moving south, he hurriedly led his army to chase after him, but Koji Yi ignored it at all, and only ignored the overseer's madness, and the army rushed to Meiji on the afternoon of the second day. The Han army lined up along the west bank of the Pushui River, and the Shan Yuting army on the east bank of Pushui was the horn of each other. When the Marquis of Subu Gudu saw the Han army arriving, he immediately stopped the attack. That night, the White Horse Copper army arrived, and the Hun rebels surrounded Meiji.

Zuoxian Wang Huloulan is the eldest son of Da Shan Yu, and he is also the "deputy prince", that is, the future Da Shan Yu, but he is not in Meiji now, and he cannot succeed to the throne immediately after Da Dan Yu's death, so now all the affairs of Shan Yuting are presided over by Yu Fuluo, the son of Qiang Qu. King Youxian hurried to the Han army camp to meet with Koyi.

Standing by the Pushui River, looking at the dense Hun rebel camp tents in the distance, a contemptuous sneer came out of his nose. He turned his face to look at Yu Fuluo and asked, "How much grain and grass does Meiji have?" ”

Yu Fuluo was in his forties, with a sturdy body, a thick beard, and eyes as sharp as an eagle, and his face was full of grief and indignation, and he replied in a low voice: "There is very little grain and grass, and there are not many livestock, so it would be good to support it for ten days and a half months." ”

"Are there any reinforcements?"

"The Iron Eagle King of the South can still gather 10,000 people." Yu Fuluo said, "He is the king of Shan Yuting (a high-ranking Xiongnu official), and he is the same brother as Da Shan Yu, so he should not betray Da Shan Yu." I have already asked my younger brother Zuo Dadu Wei Hu Chuquan to lead people to the south to find him for help. ”

"When will it arrive?"

Juvro shook his head and said, "It will be ten days at the earliest." Once Qubei knew that the Right Tribe and the Tu tribe had betrayed Da Shan Yu and raised troops to make a rebellion, he would definitely take his tribe to retreat in the direction of the Great Wall fortress first. As long as the tribe is safe, he will go north. ”

Koji Yi thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "Withdraw, withdraw tonight." ”

The generals and officials standing behind Liyi were stunned, and for a while everyone almost suspected that they had heard it wrong.

"Why withdraw?" Yuvro shouted excitedly, "Why did your lord withdraw? Ten days later, the reinforcements arrived, and we could join forces with the outside to defeat the Marquis of Xubu Gudu and Baimatong, and drive them north of the Yellow River. ”

"My lord, there are still 20,000 iron cavalry in Bingzhou, and there are also 10,000 reinforcements in the right Xian King, we are not much worse than the rebels in terms of strength, we can give it a go, why should my lord retreat?" Yang Ming asked very dissatisfied.

"Since we can defeat the rebels, then why does the Marquis of Subu Gudu dare to kill Da Shan Yu and attack Meiji?" Koji Yijian raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "That's because they have Xianbei people behind them and Tuoba Feng." ”

"Why did the Marquis of Xubu Gudu and the White Horse Copper raise troops to rebel at this time? Is it just for the sake of the throne? Is it necessary for Tuoba Feng to mobilize the people for the sake of a Huns' big order? Lu Yi pointed to the northeast direction and said sharply, "In order to hold us back, they lured all the troops of Bingzhou to the West River, to the west of Luliang Mountain, so that they could easily capture the fortress." As soon as the fortress is lost, the Hu people can drive straight in, fight all the way to Jinyang, and wantonly burn and plunder. ”

Lu Yi stared at Yu Fuluo, the king of Youxian, and continued: "You can avenge Da Dan Yu, you can kill bloodifully for the betrayal of the tribe, but I can't do without Northern Xinjiang, I don't want Jinyang, what I want to guard is the territory of the Great Han Kingdom, and what I want to take care of is the people of the Great Han Kingdom." ”

Yu Fuluo gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't this Meiji the land of the Han Dynasty?" Aren't I, the Huns, the people of the Han Dynasty? ”

"It is precisely because you are the people of the Great Han Kingdom that I have to retreat immediately." Koji Yi waved his hand and said, "Have you ever thought about it, when the rebels are all assembled, it will be 60,000 against 100,000, how many people will we have left?" Are you trying to avenge Da Danyu or do you want to exterminate the Huns? After this battle, even if the Marquis of Xubu Gudu and Baima Tong were killed by you, it was not only the Xiongnu rebellion who died because of this battle, but also more innocent Huns. ”

"Withdrawing from Meiji, we quickly went south, with the support of the Great Wall fortress, we can attack, retreat and defend, first stand in an invincible position, and at the same time take back Zuoxian Wang Huloulan to succeed Dashan Yu. Only the Da Shan Yu recognized by the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is the real Da Shan Yu of the Huns, and hundreds of thousands of Huns know this. As long as Shan Yu rebuilt in the court, Da Shan Yu raised the flag and shouted, even if the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, who killed Da Shan Yu, established himself as Da Shan Yu, he could not get the support of the Huns. ”

"With 40,000 troops, we will hold off the rebels along the West River, so that the 20,000 iron cavalry of Bingzhou can support the Juzhu fortress and block the invasion of the Xianbei people. The Xianbei people lost the support of the Hun rebels, and the attack on the fortress was blocked, how do I think he can play? As long as the general returns from Youzhou with his army, they will wait for death. ”

Yu Fuluo looked at the gushing Koji Yi, looked at his righteous words, impassioned, and looked like I am all for the sake of you Huns, his heart was on fire, his lungs were angry, and he wanted to tear his face with him on the spot. In the final analysis, Lu Yi is not a Huns, and all he thinks about ******** is how to hold the fortress of Juzhu and how to keep the Taiyuan Shangdang from being harassed, so he doesn't care whether the Huns live or die, and whether Shan Yuting can continue to exist or not.

Koji then said something that made Yuvro almost spurt blood with anger.

"If the Right Virtuous King doesn't go, let's go. It doesn't matter if you die, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, anyway, the successor is King Zuo Xian, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

The officials of Shan Yuting and the generals who were standing behind King Youxian suddenly became chaotic, and some of them couldn't help but scold.

Tie Yue drew his sword and shouted, "What is it called?" Look for death. ”

Lu Yi glared at the Huns, and pointed at Shan Yuting and a group of officials very arrogantly and said: "You must go with me, none of them can be left, and it is up to you to rebuild Shan Yuting." ”

"King Youxian, have you thought about it?" Koji Yi pointed at him and said, "If you think about it, pack up your things immediately, take everything you can take away, and burn everything you can't." ”

Juvro held back his anger and stood by the river and thought for a long time. If Koji Yi leaves with a large army, it will definitely be difficult to hold Miji with his 10,000 people, and once Koji leaves, it is difficult to say whether the reinforcements who went to Bei will come. If you want to avenge Da Shan Yu, if you want to rebuild Shan Yuting, if you want to suppress the rebels, you must rely on the army of the Great Han State and the Great Han State only by relying on this little bit of people from your own left tribe. Although the rebels have the support of powerful Xianbei people behind them, if they are helped by invincible leopards, what can they not do?

"Okay, let's retreat south."

＝＝＝

As soon as the Right Virtuous King Yufro left, the messenger of the Marquis of Subu Gudu arrived.

And Qu (a senior official of the Xiongnu army) Lan Liqi is a Xiongnu nobleman, and his family status is very prominent, he said bluntly to Lu Yi: "As long as the lord agrees that the king of Zuogu Li, the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, is the big single Yu, we will withdraw our troops and negotiate peace." ”

"Peace?" Ko Yi sneered, "What qualifications does the Marquis of Subu Gu have to negotiate peace with me?" ”

"My lord, the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, the king of the left valley, and the white horse copper, the king of the right valley, joined forces to raise troops, it is not a betrayal of the Han Kingdom, this is just an internal dispute among the Xiongnu."

"Internal strife? Joke, you killed Da Shan Yu and endangered the peace of my Han Kingdom, isn't this a betrayal of my Han Kingdom? ”

Lan Liqi is a thin middle-aged man in his forties, with a hint of shrewdness in his small eyes, he looked at Lu Yi, and felt very uneasy, why is this new Hun Protector Zhonglang so difficult to speak, does he have to beat you to the death to have fun?

"My lord, the big single of Qiangqu was established by Zhang Xiu, the general of the Huns, and he was neither the successor of the Huns, nor was he jointly promoted by the Huns. Qiangqu bought Zhang Xiu, killed Hu Zheng, and usurped the position of Da Shan Yu, he should have died a long time ago. The Xiongnu's Da Dan Yu should have been the Marquis of the Xubu Gudu. ”

Lu Yi snorted coldly and said: "I don't care about those old things, I only know that the Xiongnu's big single is Qiangqu, which was told to me by His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Han Kingdom." When you kill him, you rebel. ”

Lan Liqi was a little annoyed. Do you really think we're afraid of you? We're giving you face, we're giving you the stairs, or we'd have killed you. He endured it and endured it, and said with a forced smile: "My lord, now the facts are here, Da Dan Yu is dead, and the Huns have asked to support the Marquis of Xu Bu Gu as the new Da Dan Yu, why don't you go down the river and agree." In this way, adults can not only win the heart of the Huns, but also quell the rebellion of the Huns, and can also make meritorious contributions and kill three birds with one stone, why don't adults do it? Why do you have to fight with you and me to a river of blood? ”

"The Marquis of the Bones of the Beard doesn't just want to be a big order, right?" Koji Yi smiled angrily, "He wants to make a big order? Dream on, I won't be able to call him a ghost. ”

Lan Liqi couldn't hold back any longer, pushed the case up, and said loudly: "My lord is too much, am I the Huns afraid of you?" ”

Koji Yi slapped the case suddenly, and roared: "Am I afraid of you Huns?" ”

"Come, kill him for me, cut off his head and give it to the Marquis of Xubu Bone."

＝＝＝

The Beard Guduhou looked at the bloody head on the ground, and gritted his teeth in anger.

The Huns have been subjugated to the Han Kingdom for more than 200 years, and the successive Dadan must be recognized by the Son of Heaven of the Han State after his succession, otherwise the name is not justified, and the Xiongnu departments will not bow down to their orders. The identity of Qiangqu is not qualified to sit on the position of Da Shan Yu at all, but because of the support of the Great Han State, he still made Da Dan Yu, and the Xiongnu tribes also had to obey him, and his descendants can still inherit the position of Da Shan Yu.

Although the leaders of the many Xiongnu tribes this time were both soft and hard by the Marquis of Xubu Gudu and Baima Tong, they promised to support them, but the conditions were also very simple, that is, you Xubu Guduhou must be a big single Yu, and a big single Yu recognized by the Great Han State, otherwise, who will guarantee their lives in the future? As long as the Marquis of Xubu Gudu made a big single Yu and was recognized by the emperor of the Great Han Kingdom, everyone would not be a rebel, and how they should live and how they lived, but if this is not the case, everyone would be the enemy of the Great Han State and the betrayer of Shan Yuting, and the consequences would be self-evident. The death of Helian is a lesson from the past, the powerful Xianbei country has been defeated, not to mention the Huns.

"Da Dan is the big Dan Yu of the Huns, what does it have to do with his Great Han Kingdom?" Bai Ma Tong smiled, "We say that you are the big Shan Yu of the Huns, and you are the big Shan Yu." ”

The Marquis of the Beard Bone smiled bitterly. If there is no recognition from the emperor of the Great Han Kingdom, even if he has made a big order, few tribes will follow. As long as Zuoxian King Huloulan comes back to succeed Da Shan Yu and rebuild Shan Yuting, nine out of ten Xiongnu tribes will run to Huloulan's Shan Yuting. The Tianwei of the Han Kingdom has taken root in the hearts of the Huns, and it can be changed by tens of thousands of troops, especially last year's defeat of the Xianbei people made the Huns afraid of Li Hong, the leopard who guarded the northern Xinjiang.

"Huloulan can't come back, and the leopard can't come back." Bai Ma Tong seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile, "Da Shan Yu rest assured, it won't be long before the emperor of the Great Han Kingdom will send someone to congratulate Da Shan Yu." ”

The Marquis of Xubu Gudu pondered for a long time and asked, "Has Tuoba Feng's army arrived at Yanmen Pass?" ”

＝＝＝

April of the fifth year of Zhongping in the Han Dynasty (188 AD).

＝＝＝

Zhang Yi, the assassin of the state, received an urgent letter from Liyi, and immediately ordered the defenders of the Juzhu fortress to stand by.

"Lord Koji suspects that Tuoba Feng is coming to attack Yanmen Pass, do you think this is possible?" Zhang Yi and Yanmen Taishou Guo Yun stood on the city tower, looking at the mountains and mountains in the distance, with a heavy heart.

"The Huns dare to rebel at this time, they must have something to rely on, don't they want to think about the consequences?" Guo Yun sighed, "You also know that although the Xianbei people were defeated in the western Xinjiang, the main losses were the armies of the Danhan Mountain Royal Court, the Western Xianbei and Tu tribes, and Tuoba Feng's losses were actually very small. Tuoba Feng's ambition is big, he is not only interested in the four counties of Northern Xinjiang, but the entire Northern Xinjiang. If he had invaded at this time, the timing would have been very good. ”

"The Huns are in turmoil, we must do our best to quell the rebellion, so as not to harm the entire northern Xinjiang, in this way, then Yanmen, Taiyuan and Shangdang will have no defensive forces, if the Xianbei and Xiongnu take the opportunity to attack Yanmen, and plunder Taiyuan Shangdang, they can not only make a fortune, but also destroy the southern part of the state, but my Han country has been hit hard, I am afraid it will ......"

Zhang Yi's face was even more worried.

"Do you want to ask the Zhenbei General's Mansion for help?" Zhang Yi asked, "Or, write a letter to General Zhenbei......"

"The remaining troops of the Zhenbei General's Mansion have to take care of the three counties of Taiyuan, Shangdang and Hedong, and they also have to go to Xihe to support Liyi, Lord Xu is already stretched, so let's wait." Guo Yun shook his head and said, "As for General Zhenbei...... The situation in Youzhou is more serious than that in Mercezhou. Youzhou rebelled, and the Xianbei and Karasuma people might take the opportunity to go south, and once the Hu people occupied the central counties of Youzhou, Jizhou would be the first to suffer. Jizhou is the top priority of my Great Han Kingdom, and if Jizhou continues to cause trouble, it will directly shake the foundation of our Great Han Kingdom, so we still don't tell General Zhenbei about the merger of the state as early as possible, lest he worry about the merger of the state, and he has no intention of fighting in Youzhou, so that he will endanger the national community, which is a great crime. ”

＝＝＝

The sound of horses' hooves sounded on the gallop outside the gate, and the scouts of the fortress beat their horses back. The Xianbei people are coming.

The leader of the Xianbei king, Tuoba Feng, the northern Xianbei lord, led an army of 50,000 to Yanmen Pass.

Zhang Yi looked at the banner of the king of Daxu standing high in the Xianbei camp outside the Guan, and couldn't help laughing, "This leader is like Helian, so anxious to make contributions, is he worried that his throne will not be guaranteed?" But how did he and Tuoba Feng get together? Isn't he afraid that he will die like Helian? This Tuoba Feng is a very unlucky person. ”

"This is also understandable, he is young and has no merits, how can he serve the public?" Guo Yun sneered, "Although the head has Murong Feng to support him, he ......"

Guo Yun's face suddenly changed, he looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Was all this planned by Murong Feng?" ”

When Zhang Yi heard Murong Feng's three words, his smile suddenly narrowed, and his expression was a little nervous, "Bohan, why did you suddenly think of him?" ”

"You see, last year, the Xianbei people were under the cantonment of the troops, the Tu everyone rebelled, and the Baibo ant thieves rebelled, dragging the troops of General Zhenbei in Bingzhou, and almost let Zhang Chun of Youzhou and the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro meet. If the two armies meet, their strength rises sharply, and they occupy most of Jizhou, and the Youzhou rebels must go south, will the Xianbei and Karasuma people take advantage of the situation and occupy the counties in the central and eastern parts of Youzhou? ”

"It's possible." Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Murong Feng has always been ambitious to occupy the border counties of Youzhou, and he supports Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebellion behind his back, which may be one of the conditions. ”

"Last year, because General Zhenbei appeased Zhang Yan and Yang Feng in time, opened the road from Bingzhou to Jizhou, and then attacked Handan with cavalry, causing the ant thief to fail in his attempt." Guo Yun frowned and said, "Murong Feng's treacherous plan can't succeed, so he can't succeed in another plan, this time he took advantage of the time when General Zhenbei led his troops north to Youzhou to quell the rebellion, first instigated the Xiongnu tribes to rebel, and then let Kuitou and Tuoba Feng form an alliance to invade the south, the purpose of which is nothing more than to force General Zhenbei to return to the division and merge the state." ”

"White Horse Copper is extremely cunning, and Tuoba Feng is even more insidious and cunning, will they be Murong Feng? Once General Zhenbei returns to the division and merges with the state, they will be miserable. Zhang Yi said suspiciously.

"So the head himself came." Guo Yun said, "This is a promise made by Murong Feng to them, and he will definitely ensure that Bai Ma Tong and Tuoba Feng will not return empty-handed." ”

"In that case, the leader is not only in command on behalf of Murong Feng, he also wants to make a big profit." Zhang Yi said, "But what if General Zhenbei leads his army back desperately? ”

"Murong Feng not only wants to force General Zhenbei back, but also wants to destroy the state, and also wants to keep the current situation in Youzhou, so for him, the most important thing is when to let General Zhenbei return to the state. I think he already has a way, and General Zhenbei may not be able to come back whenever he wants. ”

"After General Zhenbei's army arrived in Youzhou, first of all, he would never dare to turn back without His Majesty's order, and secondly, even if he wanted to come back, the supply of grain and grass was also a problem, and in addition, if General Zhenbei did not hit the rebels hard, he would not want to come back, Bai Ma Tong and Tuoba Feng saw these points, so they dared to boldly send troops to respond to Murong Feng. By the time the Hu people invaded Taiyuan and Shangdang, and General Zhenbei rushed back, they would have already returned with a full load. ”

"At that time, the rebellion in Youzhou is undecided, and the annexed state is completely destroyed, the northern Xinjiang is in danger, and the fate of General Zhenbei can be imagined."

Guo Yun said bitterly: "You say, is my guess wrong? If Murong Feng does not die, there will never be peace in my northern Xinjiang. ”

Zhang Yi looked up to the sky and sighed, "Bohan, if we stick to Yanmen Pass, even if we die, we won't let the Hu people cross the Great Wall even a step, I want to see how he Murong Feng destroys my northern Xinjiang!" ”

＝＝＝

Outside the Yanmen Pass, the head of the Xianbei King was surrounded by his younger brother Evil and Rebellious, the Northern Xianbei Lord Tuoba Feng and others, looking at the pass from afar.

"For hundreds of years, we have never heard of anyone breaking through Yanmen Pass and entering Jinyang." The head's obscure eyes stared straight at the majestic Yanmen Pass, and said slowly, "Today, can we do it?" ”

Tuoba Feng waved his horsewhip and said confidently: "Don't worry, the king is personally commanded this time, and the Xianbei army will definitely be able to take Yanmen Pass and kill Jinyang directly." ”

Tuoba Tao also smiled on the side: "The king took the Yanmen Pass and created a great cause, and from then on the prairie will be the king's world." ”

The leader looked around at everyone, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. This time, Murong Feng had already arranged everything, in order to create an opportunity for himself to establish meritorious service. Counting on you people, I haven't become the second in Helian.

"When will the Huns and Karasuma arrive?"

"It's coming." Hao Shuai Xie Qu replied, "The Tiger King Bai Ma Tong said that after the Marquis of Lisu Bugu made a big order, he immediately led his troops to meet him. The Karasuma people of Daigun are already on their way. ”

The head smiled, "Da Danyu? Send someone to congratulate you, and by the way, urge the white horse copper. ”

"King, when will the attack begin?"

"Get started right away."

＝＝＝

The atmosphere in the Zhenbei General's Mansion suddenly became tense.

Xu Rong saw Lei Zi personally return to the camp to ask for help, and knew that Meiji's situation had reached a critical moment. Without saying a word, he immediately ordered Storm Sand to take the military cavalry battalion to support Ko Yi.

"Do you have any explanation?" Reiko and Tempest Sand asked as they left.

Xu Rong spread out the map, pointed to the Great Wall Fortress located in Qiuzi, Shangjun County, and said: "After you go back, tell Lu Yi and tell him to withdraw to the line of Pingding and Baitu, and rely on the support of the Great Wall Fortress to confront the Xiongnu rebels." ”

"Your Excellency is worried about the Dongqiang people?" Leizi asked

"Yes. If there is collusion between Baimatong and Dongqiang, and Xu Hui suddenly attacks us from the flank, the retreat of the army will be cut off, and it will be difficult to receive grain and grass. ”

"What if the people in Shan Yuting insist on attacking?"

Xu Rong thought for a moment and said, "If they insist on attacking, you tell them that we will instead support the Marquis of Xubu Gudu as the Xiongnu Dadanyu." ”

"My lord, when will the hussar battalion arrive at Xihe?"

"There are no more reinforcements." Xu Rong said resolutely, "You tell Liyi that with 30,000 iron cavalry, plus 20,000 Xiongnu troops in Yuting, he already has 50,000 troops in his hands, and if he can't defeat the Xiongnu rebels, you tell him to think about the consequences himself." ”

＝＝＝

Xu Rong sent off the Wucai camp and immediately rode up to the Son of Heaven with a speed of 800 miles, demanding an urgent supply of food and ordnance.

"Order Li Su, Arc Ding and Qi Shen to immediately rush to the Zhenbei General's Mansion with five thousand iron cavalry."

"The order is to shoot the tassels, strengthen the vigilance of both land and water, and ensure the safety of the transportation of materials."

Fast horses galloped out of the camp and went to various places to convey Xu Rong's orders.

At this moment, the letter of help from Yanmen Pass was delivered to Xu Rong. Both Zuo Yan and Li Wei strongly demanded that Xu Rong immediately recruit the Yellow Turban Army to the north to support, but Xu Rong flatly rejected their suggestion.

"Spring ploughing has begun, and the transfer of the Yellow Turban Army at this time will shake the hearts of the people." Xu Rong said, "There are 7,000 defenders at Yanmen Pass, and relying on the danger of the fortress, it is not a problem to defend it for a month." Tell them that there are no reinforcements, the soldiers are finished, the officers at all levels are topped, and the officers are finished, and they are called Lord Assassin Shi, and Lord Taishou takes the two mansions to the top. ”

"My lord, 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were recruited to support the border pass and resist the Hu people, this is also to stabilize the people's hearts, for the sake of Tuntian, why not?" Li Wei said eagerly, "Could it be that the border pass is in danger, do the displaced people still have the heart to Tuntian?" ”

"That's why we can't be recruited." Xu Rong said, "The Yellow Turban Army sat in Jinyang and did not move, which is equivalent to telling the people of Bingzhou that although there is an invasion of Hu people at the border, the situation is not serious, and everyone can rest assured that they can settle in the fields." When the spring ploughing is completed and the seedlings are planted, the Yellow Turban Army and the people will spontaneously rush to the border to kill the enemy in order to protect their future. ”

"The impact of forcible requisition and active requisition on the people of Bingzhou are fundamentally two different things, there is a world of difference, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army and the people's will directly determine whether we can defeat the invasion of the Hu people."

Xu Rong immediately ordered Qu Shen to rush to Yuanping City at the junction of Yanmen and Taiyuan with a thousand iron cavalry, blocking all news between the two places. At the same time, he hurriedly wrote to Lu Yi and ordered him to change his strategy and immediately take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu rebels, so as to drag the Xiongnu rebels and make them have no time to support the Xianbei people in Yanmen Pass.

Xu Rong's persistence really worked.

The 50,000 Yellow Turban troops stationed in Jinyang were like no one, staying in the camp every day to train, and they had no intention of going north to defend against the enemy, which gave the people of Bingzhou great confidence. After the initial panic, the people of Taiyuan and Shangdang gradually quieted down. The merchants who gathered in Jinyang City from all over the country originally fled when they heard the news, but then they came back to see that everything was the same as in the past, and then they came back again, what should they do.

The Son of Heaven replied and promised that the Zhenbei General's Mansion would do everything in its power to provide food and ordnance, but there were no reinforcements and they would solve it by themselves.

Soon, Xu Rong received an urgent letter from Guo Yun, the Taishou of Yanmen, and Zhang Yi was killed in battle, and the defenders of the fortress suffered heavy casualties and a shortage of weapons, so they asked for support.

Xu Rong called Li Wei and ordered him to requisition 3,000 people and immediately move all the ordnance in the Jinyang arsenal to Yanmen Pass.

"My lord, don't we keep any of them? What if ......"

"No ifs." Xu Rong said lightly, "If the people in the fortress are gone, I will be the last one to fall." All ordnance was transported to the fortress. ”

"You immediately notify Xie Ming and ask him to tell Xu Ling, a wealthy man in Guanzhong, and the Wei family in Hedong, if there is no ordnance delivered to the Jinyang arsenal within five days, I will find someone else."

"Also, the grain and ordnance purchased from Guanzhong should no longer be east of the canal, and will be directly sent to the Great Wall fortress in Shangjun by Feng Yijun."

In the middle of Bingzhou is the majestic Luliang Mountain. To the east of it are Yanmen County, Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, and Yanmen County, and the battle of the fortress is becoming more and more fierce day by day. To the west of it were Xihe County, Shang County, and in the area of Meiji and Binh Dinh in Xihe County, Ko Yi and Youxian King Yufu Luo each led iron cavalry and launched frequent attacks against the rebels.

Just when the war in Bingzhou was rising, Li Hong, the general of Zhenbei, rushed to Zhuolu City in Shanggu County with a large army. His army will march from Fuyang City to Juyong Pass in Dushan and directly attack Jicheng.

Lu Pofeng, the leader of the White Deer tribe, and Shemoci, the leader of the Wuye tribe, who heard the news, rushed to meet Li Hong. Because of Li Hong and Fengyun Iron Cavalry, these two tribes have become famous in northern Xinjiang, and the Son of Heaven has also rewarded them several times. Lu Pofeng and Mo Ci are now very prosperous in Upper Valley County, and the bureaucrats of the local county government are very polite to them. Several people have not seen each other for more than two years, and they are laughing and laughing.

Li Hong, who was sitting in the big tent, suddenly saw Zhao Yun beckoning to him outside the tent, and hurriedly walked out.

"My lord, Zuoxian King Huloulan is dead." Zhao Yun said with a pale face.

Li Hong was suddenly stupid. He sent Zhao Yun to invite Zuo Xian Wang Hu Loulan to the big tent to meet Lu Pofeng and Ink Shot, how did he die in a blink of an eye.

"My lord, as soon as we entered the camp, King Zuo Xian was assassinated by his own guards, I ......" Zhao Yun regretted not knowing what to say.

"What about his guards?"

"It was very chaotic, everyone gathered around and slashed, and they all died."

Huloulan is the "deputy of the Huns", the future of the big Dan Yu, he died, and was assassinated in his own camp, once the news spreads, the 10,000 Huns army will immediately blow up, if someone deliberately sow discord, saying that they killed themselves, then the Huns iron cavalry did not rebel.

Li Hong barely calmed down and asked anxiously, "Has the news leaked?" ”

"Nope." Zhao Yun said, "I immediately blocked the camp, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. At present, the general's battalion only has the Black Panther Volunteer Battalion and the Scout Battalion soldiers, all of whom are his own people. ”

"Take me to see it." Li Hong said, "How many people were there at the scene? ”

"Except for King Zuoxian's people, who are my personal guards, there are about fifty or sixty people, and now they are all concentrated in a temporarily vacated military tent."

"What about Liu Bao?"

"Liu Bao is in his own military camp, with Liu Ming." Zhao Yun said, "Do you want me to call him?" ”

Li Hong said as he walked: "Let me think, let me think." ”

He received Xu Rong's urgent letter five days ago, saying that the Tu tribes had rebelled again. Could it be that there was a big mess in the Huns? Huloulan was killed by his own attendants, and should have nothing to do with Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebels, so it only has something to do with the dispute within the Xiongnu. If the Xiongnu were in turmoil, they would definitely bring disaster to the annexed states. Li Hong was worried and at a loss for a while.
