On the end of October, towards the heavenly plain. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮

Li Hong, the general of the chariot cavalry, led 20,000 iron cavalry to Chaotianyuan.

Xu Rong, Lu Yi and Zhao Yunzhu will be greeted ten miles away. Li Hong and the generals greeted each other one by one and were very happy to see each other.

On the way back to the camp, Li Hong took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yun, Li Hong smiled and said, "This is what I asked someone to bring to you when I left Jinyang." Zhao Yun saw a few delicate words on the bag, and suddenly remembered Cai Yan, and couldn't help but feel excited.

The Great Horde Military Meeting.

Yu Peng, a lieutenant in the Cheqi General's Office, first explained the situation in Luoyang and Northern Xinjiang to the generals, and then he focused on the importance of going north to find the main force of Xianbei. Yu Peng said: "Whether or not we can inflict heavy damage on the main force of the Xianbei people will be directly related to whether our Han can permanently occupy the desert and whether we can ensure the stability of our northern Xinjiang and the Han Sheji, so we must not only fight this battle immediately, but also must hit it with one blow, even if the whole army is annihilated." ”

The generals looked excited and enthusiastic.

Yin Si, who was engaged in Zhonglang, immediately gave a detailed explanation and explanation of the northward attack strategy drawn up by the Che Cavalry General's Mansion.

"This time, the general personally commanded 50,000 iron cavalry to go north, and General Fenwei Xian commanded 100,000 foot soldiers stationed in Hanbei County."

"The purpose of this battle is to fight to the death with the main force of Xianbei, and it is to inflict heavy losses on the Xianbei people, so we don't care about winning or losing, we just need to fight with the Xianbei people. In addition, the expedition was too long, and the supply and transportation of grain and grass was a big problem, and judging from our existing grain and grass reserves, it was only enough for 50,000 iron horsemen to go north, and it was necessary to fight quickly. Yin Si said, "We estimate that the main force of the Xianbei people is about 70,000, and if we go north at the same time with 50,000 iron cavalry, the Xianbei people may not be able to risk losing their troops and fighting with us." ”

"All of you know that as long as the Xianbei people can drag on until winter, our army will retreat northward, so whether it is a decisive battle now, and when the initiative of the decisive battle is completely in the hands of the Xianbei people, we are very passive. In order to change this situation, we intend to divide the army of the north in two. The 30,000 men of the front army pursued the Xianbei people day and night, and even did not hesitate to use their bodies as bait to lure the Xianbei people to turn back to the decisive battle, and the 20,000 people of the rear army followed up with camera support. ”

"Considering that the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Battalion have suffered varying degrees of damage in the early battle, the General specially recruited some infantry generals and Xiongnu Iron Cavalry to supplement them." Then Yin Si announced the generals of the army that went north.

The front army was composed of Li Hong, the general of the chariot and cavalry, Zhao Yun, the general of Li Feng, Yan Liang, the general of Huwei Zhonglang, Liu Ming, the king of Rizhu, and Lou Lu, the king of Heiling.

Li Hong led the Chinese Army's personal guard battalion, Fengyun Iron Cavalry Battalion, Black Panther Volunteer Battalion, Bingcao Battalion, and Scout Battalion with 12,000 cavalry each. The Chinese Army's personal guard battalion was led by Yan Liang, Zhang Zhen, Machete, and Tan Nu, the Fengyun Iron Cavalry Battalion was led by Heng Xi, Hu Zi, and Lei Zi, and the Black Panther Yi Battalion was led by Pang De, Arc Ding, and Qi Shen. Tian Zhong and Zheng Xin each led a battalion of soldiers and a scout battalion. Zhao Yun led Jiang Wu and Li Su to shoot Yingtong, three battalions and nine thousand horsemen. Liu Ming and Lou Lu each led 5,000 horsemen.

The rear army was composed of Jianwei general Xu Rong, Zhenwei general Lu Yi, Yangwu Zhonglang general Yan Daren, and Zuoxian Wang Liu Bao.

Xu Rong commanded the rear army, led a battalion of iron cavalry in the wind and sand, and a scout battalion led by Chen Ming and Ji Wei Cao Ying. Koji Yi led Yang Ming and Xian Yuyin to two battalions of 6,000 horsemen. Yan Rou led two battalions of six thousand horsemen, Nie Xiao and Yan Wuxing. Zuo Xianwang Liu Bao 5,000 horsemen.

Yin Si finally said: "General Zhang Yan, the general of Yanglie, will lead 20,000 troops to garrison Chaotianyuan, and will be responsible for transporting grain and grass to us. The army will march north tomorrow. ”

In mid-October, Yanran Mountain, Xianbei camp.

The Han army finally went north, and this news made the leaders of the Xianbei tribes very excited. But everyone in the excitement has a sense of uneasiness and fear. This time, can we defeat the Han army again like we did twelve years ago?

After Kuitou, Murong Feng and Mijia led their troops to retreat to Yanran Mountain, Western Xianbei undertook the food and horse feed of nearly 70,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of war horses, and in less than a month, Western Xianbei almost exhausted all its reserves. For this reason, the leaders of the large and small tribes in the western Xianbei complained. Even if this battle is won in the future, the vitality of Western Xianbei will be greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to recover in a short time. Although Kuitou and Murong Feng repeatedly promised them that as long as they drove the Han people out of the desert, they would not only give them the most war torture, but also all the territories of Xianbei in the north. But everyone can see the situation in the desert today, the Xianbei country is over, and the promises of Kuitou and Murong Feng are simply empty words. However, in the face of Murong Feng and Kui Tou and others, who were far stronger than themselves, Luo Luo could only swallow his anger and send thousands of livestock into the camp in a steady stream.

Now, Lord Xianbei of the West can let out a long sigh of relief. Kuitou and Murong Feng are finally leaving, do they also retreat with them? Am I going west or north?

During this time, some leaders of Yan Liyou and Xianbei in the west kept encouraging him to make peace with the Han people while his strength still existed. Make peace with the Han people, and the large and small tribes of Xianbei in the west will break away from the Xianbei country, and they will be able to meet the source left and right. If the Han people win, they are heroes, not only can they be kings, but they can also get the rewards of the Han people, and when Murong Feng calls in the future, they can also get help from the Han people. If Kuitou and Murong Feng win, their strength is still there, but they are already dying of great loss of strength, at that time, they can be dominant, and they can share the desert equally with Kuitou and Murong Feng when they retreat, and they don't need to look at their faces at all.

How can you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Even if we help Kuitou and Murong Feng win this battle, what can we gain? At most, it's just a piece of northern Xianbei territory. But that place was originally ours, a few years ago, Murong Feng and Tuoba Feng jointly designed and dug that place away from Xianbei in our west, have you forgotten? And your son and 10,000 Western Xianbei warriors were killed in Dayan Mountain by Murong Feng's design, have you forgotten it? The Han people were defeated, hundreds of thousands of people and millions of livestock were taken captive by them, what do we want to do in that bare place? Do you want to defend Kuitou and Murong Feng against the attacks of the Han Chinese? Tuoba Feng just died in Changyun Mountain, do you want to repeat the same mistakes?

The feast is here again. He said loudly, "Will your lord take us west, or will you follow Kuitou north?" Luo Luo hesitated.

The Han people's attack on the desert this time was different from before. In the past, the Han people attacked the desert just like the Hu people invaded the Han Dynasty, burning, killing and looting, with the main purpose of annihilating and severely invading the Hu people. But this time, the Han people were unusual, with the main purpose of occupying the desert, which was something that all the Xianbei leaders did not expect, including Murong Feng, who were surprised and frustrated. After receiving all kinds of news from the southern part of the desert, he stayed in his big tent for several days and meditated on how to deal with it, but in the end he could only sigh and be at a loss.

The Han people set up Qianman as the king, the Han people pacified the Xianbei tribes, the Han people built Hanbei County in the desert, the Han people moved north to the Hu people of all ethnic groups to re-enter the desert, and the Han people divided the Hu kings. If the Han people and the Hu people of all ethnic groups are allowed to gain a firm foothold in the southern part of the desert, and the Han people are allowed to unite the Hu people of all ethnic groups to dominate the desert, the Xianbei people will not only lose their territory and lose their country, but also the disaster of extermination. The Huns were exterminated by themselves, is it possible that they will be exterminated by the Han people again in the blink of an eye?

When the leader convened the chiefs of the tribes, everyone had a consensus that if they could not defeat the Han army before winter came. Then next year, after the Han people and the Hu people of all ethnic groups gain a firm foothold in the newly built Hanbei County, the next thing is not that the Xianbei people launch a counteroffensive to attack Hanbei County, but that the Hu people of all ethnic groups in Hanbei County have attacked the three Xianbei of the east, middle and west. How could the Xiongnu, Qiang, and Karasuma people let go of the Xianbei people who had reached the end of their rope for the sake of pastures, cattle and sheep, and for decades or even hundreds of years of hatred?

Murong Feng changed his original strategy of retreating to Wolf Juxu Mountain, and he advocated staying in Yanran Mountain, waiting for the opportunity to attack, so as to do his best to defeat the main force of the Han army before winter came. For the survival of the Xianbei people, they have to fight to the death. At this time, the news that the Han army took the initiative to go north came, Murong Feng was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the army to be ready to retreat north at any time, and he wanted to lure the Han army to the place of death step by step.

Murong Feng explained his plan in detail to the leaders of the tribes, and then asked, "My lord, my lords, is there anything else you want me to explain again?" ”

The head shook his head and said loudly: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the commander. ”

Luo Luo hesitated for a moment, and said: "After this battle, the loss can be imagined, at present, the Huns, Karasuma and Qiang are in the south of the desert, our strength is greatly damaged, how to drive them away in the future?" I think the most important thing is to preserve our strength at the moment, and there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future. He looked at Murong Feng and asked, "Why can't we make peace with the Han people?" The leopard used to be your subordinate, and he lived and died with you, and if you come forward to make peace with him, you will definitely succeed, so why do you have to do this? Even if we kill the leopard, kill Xu Rong, kill Liu Bao, and annihilate his 50,000 iron horsemen, but the Han people still have Xian Yufu, as well as Zhang Yan, as well as 100,000 troops and tens of thousands of Hu tribes, we still can't recapture the southern part of the desert, we can't drive away the Han people, I really don't understand, why do you have to fight to the death with the leopard? ”

Yan Liyou was startled, and gently stabbed Luo Luoluo in the back, signaling him to stop talking. On this occasion, if you openly talk about peace, you are not looking for trouble and asking for trouble.

The leader's face suddenly fell. The Han people supported Qianman as the king of Xianbei, and if peace was negotiated, the first thing to kill was himself. When Luo Luo Luo said this, he obviously didn't take himself seriously, but now that Luo Luo has a large army, his strength is far stronger than his own, and he just wants to be majestic and has no confidence. The head snorted coldly, expressing the extreme anger in his heart.

Murong Feng raised his eyes to look at Yan Liyou. Yan Liyou felt weak in his heart, shrunk his head, and lowered his head. Murong Feng smiled slightly, and said to Luoluo: "The decline of the Xianbei Kingdom is so fast, in addition to the failure of our strategy, what is more important is that the Great Han Kingdom has produced a strong general. The leopard led the army to defend the northern frontier, and there were many people who could fight well, which was an unrivaled advantage of the Han Kingdom, and we Xianbei people could not compete at all. If there is only one leopard in the northern frontier, we are completely sure to kill him, but unfortunately there is a group of leopards in the northern frontier. ”

"Does it mean that if we have a group of leopards in northern Xinjiang, we will not be able to defeat them." Murong Feng shook his hand and said, "No, among this group of leopards, Li Hong and the Hu clan iron horsemen who followed him were the most powerful. As long as we kill them, whether it is the Han army's northern Xinjiang army or the Hu people of all ethnic groups stationed in the desert, they will lose their reliance and protection. For example, Liu Bao. Why did Liu Bao become Shan Yuting's Zuo Xian King? That's because of the presence of leopards. The leopard is dead, and Beijiang has lost its biggest support, can Liu Bao continue to be his Zuoxian King? I'm afraid that Shan Yuting's people will kill him soon. As for the Qiang and Karasuma people, they are weak and will flee the desert without us driving them away. Another example is Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan was the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and the 100,000 infantry troops in the northern Xinjiang were all his men, but this time the leopard took them all out of the Great Wall in order to win the trust of his emperor. If the leopard died, would the emperor of the Han people still let Zhang Yan and his Yellow Turban soldiers return to the south of the Great Wall? Of course not, unless the emperor and his ministers are idiots. ”

"There is also one of the most terrible crises in northern Xinjiang, and the reason why the leopard forcibly launched an expedition this time when the Great Han Kingdom was in crisis and the national strength was weakened was to solve this crisis." Murong Feng said, "What is this crisis? It is the millions of victims who have migrated to northern Xinjiang in the past two years and the Tuntian that is begining. The disaster victims and tuntian are the biggest crises in northern Xinjiang, and as soon as the leopard dies, these two crises will immediately turn into a disaster in northern Xinjiang. In other words, the northern frontier was about to fall into a huge rebellion, and the Han army was forced to abandon the desert it had occupied and retreat to the border counties. The Han army retreated, did the Huns, Qiang and Karasuma still dare to stay in the desert? ”

Murong Feng slowly paced in the big tent with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and relaxed.

"You may think that we may not be able to kill the leopard, as long as the leopard does not die, the Han army will not withdraw from the desert, and we are still facing a huge crisis." Murong Feng smiled, "This is probably the biggest concern in your hearts, none of you are confident that you will be able to kill the leopard?" Yes, like you, I don't have that confidence. But I knew that as long as we defeated the leopards, the Han army would definitely withdraw. ”

"As early as May of this year, the emperor of the Great Han Kingdom died." Murong Feng said, "It is precisely because of the death of this emperor that we made a mistake in judgment, we thought that the Han people would not continue to attack the desert, but we were caught off guard by the leopards, and within ten days the Han army occupied the entire southern part of the desert." ”

"Recently, I received another news that there was a coup d'état in Luoyang, the queen mother, the general, many ministers, and all the eunuchs in the palace killed each other, they all died, and even the emperor was replaced later." Murong Feng waved his hand and said, "Then the leopard led the army north to attack us." What does this mean? It shows that the political situation in the Han Kingdom is turbulent, and that the supply of grain and grass for the Han army is about to have problems, and the leopard is in a hurry. He couldn't wait to find us for a decisive battle, to inflict heavy losses on our iron cavalry, to create a shocking victory to stabilize the chaotic Luoyang and the panicked people, and to give the Han army a foothold in the southern desert so as to give them enough time to resolve the crisis in the north. ”

Murong Feng stood in the middle of the big tent and looked around at everyone, looked at the surprised faces, and continued: "You may doubt whether this news is true? I tell you that this information is absolutely accurate. This was sent by the Han merchant who supplied me with the ordnance. If there is no war in northern Xinjiang, how can these businessmen make money? In order to make money, these merchants sold both ordnance to the Han army and ordnance to us, and he hoped that we would keep fighting, so that he could continue to make money. ”

Murong Feng looked at Luoluo and said with a smile: "You may think that since the situation is so good, this battle can be stopped, we can retreat all the way to Beihai, and wait until the Han army is short of food and withdraws by ourselves." So I want to ask you, if the Great Han Kingdom recovers quickly, and the disaster victims and the Tuntian crisis in northern Xinjiang are resolved, will the leopard and his iron cavalry go north again? Although the leopard's expedition almost hollowed out the Great Han Kingdom, the Great Han Kingdom is so big and has such a large population, it will not take a few years to recover, and what about us? Can we? ”

"So we have to take advantage of this opportunity and do everything we can to make the leopard and his iron horse disappear completely in the northern frontier. Without the leopard, without the leopard's iron ride, the desert can get at least ten years of recovery. Murong Feng said with a little excitement, "We must kill the leopard and the leopard's iron rider at any cost, whether we win or lose." We are not for today's battle, we are for the Xianbei country and the future of the Xianbei country. Even if the leopard can't be killed by us, there will be few of his iron horsemen left, and even if he finally defeats us, he will be defeated. A leopard without an iron horse is not a leopard, but a wolf to be slaughtered. ”

"After this battle, we spread the news of the leopard's defeat in the desert and in the Han country as quickly as possible. At that time, the people's hearts were panicked, the morale of the army was weakened, and what would happen to the Hu people of all ethnic groups who moved into the desert and the victims of the disaster in northern Xinjiang? What will the emperor and the ministers of the court do in the Han Kingdom? Needless to say, you can also think that it is impossible for a leopard without an iron horse to gain a foothold in the desert, and in order to stabilize the northern frontier, in order to maintain his power in the northern frontier, he can only retreat, and once he retreats, he can never turn back. ”

Murong Feng suddenly raised his hands and roared wildly: "Tell me, can we defeat the leopard and drive away the Han people?" ”

The leaders of the Xianbei tribes looked excited, raised their arms and shouted: "Kill the leopard......"

Li Hong and Tian Zhong stood side by side on the hill, looking at the lofty mountains in the distance.

"A few dozen miles further on, you can see the snow-capped summit." Tian Zhong touched his gray goatee and said happily, "I haven't been here for many years, and it feels really good to come back to revisit the old land before I die." ”

"Uncle, since I can bring you out, I will definitely be able to bring you back." Li Hong said with a smile.

"No, no......" Tian Zhong shook his hand and smiled, "As long as I can hit the sunset plain, I will die blindly." I'm sixty-eight, where to bury my death, don't bother so much. ”

Li Hong looked at Tian Chong's gray hair, and his heart was gloomy. When I reach the age of my uncle, will I continue to fight on the battlefield like my uncle?

When Jin Xueyuan requisitioned and transferred all his troops to the north, Xian Yufu and many generals strongly opposed Li Hong taking Tian Zhong to the north for an expedition. Li Hong said that when I was in Lu Longsai, I promised my uncle that as long as I had the opportunity in the future, I would take him to kill Hui Riyuan and bring back to my homeland the remains of all the Han soldiers abandoned on Sunset Plain. This is my promise, and it is also the wish of my uncle in this life, and I must take him north.

Xian Yufu and Yu Shi did not persuade again. Yang Feng said, my lord, this time I went north, everywhere the army went, there were fierce battles, the old man Rong Ma's life, there should be a happy ending, why did the adults have to let him be buried in the depths of the desert? Li Hong was silent for a long time, and said slowly, the old man Rong Ma has lived a life, and he died on the battlefield at the end, and the horse leather shrouded body is not a happy ending. Yang Feng was very angry and shook his hand out of the account. Outside the big tent, Yang Feng saw Tian Chong, who was already full of white hair, with tears in his eyes, straightening his thin body, and striding towards his war horse. At this moment, Yang Feng suddenly knew that the distant sunset was the final destination of this veteran, and tears suddenly moistened his eyes.

"Before Lord Tian Jingtian died, he never forgot his comrades-in-arms on the Sunset Plain, and until the moment he lost his breath, he was still talking to me about the Sunset Plain, the Sunset Plain ......" Tian Zhong sighed, "It's been twelve years, and we finally came back again." ”

Li Hong stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Tian Chong's emaciated shoulders and whispered, "Come on, we'll be there soon, and we'll be at Sunset Plain soon." ”

A long arrow pierced Yan Liyou's heart, but it didn't immediately take his life. He suffered a lot, and he struggled to support it, until at the moment of death, he finally waited for the familiar voice, the huge palms.

"Since you can't convince Luoluo, you should go to Chaotian to find me." Xu Rong said guiltily, "I thought you gave up your brothers and clansmen, but I didn't expect ......"

Yan Liyou's face was like ashes, he tried to open his eyes wide and look at the blue sky, and said intermittently: "You promise...... You have to ...... my business."

"I promise you, your son Ranger will be the Wild Wolf King of the entire West." Xu Rong said loudly.

Yan Liyou's eyes showed a hint of excitement, "There are hundreds of thousands of livestock in the Flying Star Valley of the Luqu River (now the Krulun River, the lower reaches of this river is now Heilongjiang) at the eastern foot of the Wolf Juxu Mountain, as long as the adults occupy the Flying Star Valley, Murong Feng will die." ”

Yan Liyou died, and before he died, he stared at a pair of hateful eyes.

Li Hong and Xu Rong stood next to his corpse on the left and right, silent.

"Why did Murong Feng set up this plan?" Xu Rong frowned and said, "Could it be ......?"

"The marshal wants to fight us." Li Hong said, "I'll go to the Flying Star Valley first, and you go straight to the Sunset Plains to see who kills the deer." ”
