Before the beginning of winter, the Yan clan had three battles in the north and south of the world. They were the Battle of Jiangxia in which Zhang Liao entered Jingzhou, the Battle of Yunzhong in which Ma Teng garrisoned and merged with the state, and the Battle of Shanggu in which Yan Dong presided over Youzhou and relied on the Wuhuan tribe in Biansai to fight against the Xianbei invaders.

The three battle reports were sent to Handan in no particular order, and although the Battle of Jiangxia took place a little earlier than the two battles in the north, the first battle report to be delivered was from Jixian County, Youzhou.

The Wuhuan people have always been good friends of the Yan clan who fought side by side, and they have no less rights than the Han people in Youzhou, and even the Wuhuan merchants only need to pay two-thirds of the tax amount of the Han merchants in Shanggu and other places, of course, the obligations of the foreign clan are heavier than those of the Han people. The Yan clan's concession policy to Wuhuan was given to those tribal leaders, Wuhuan kings, and Wuhuan Shan Yu who were able to form caravans, and the price Yan paid for them needed to be plundered back from the Wuhuan people.

This is Wu Huan's military service to Zhao State.

Mu Yandong of Youzhou directly ordered the kings of Wuhuan Shan Yu Louban, Wuhuan Wang Bang Dun, Nanlou and other kings, and they gathered their own troops to defeat the enemy outside the borders, and sent troops from Shanggu Ning County and Dai County Gaoliu to the north, and blocked the Xianbei Eastern Luo Da Mira who gathered at the foot of Danhan Mountain, and won a complete victory, killing thousands and returning.

Yan Dong did not mention the casualties of the Wuhuan people in the war report, but only mentioned whether Yanbei could allow him to send Wuhuan conscription to establish a city at the foot of Danhan Mountain next year, and set up nine beacons and seventy-two sui along the way, so as to further expand Youzhou's influence and control over the outside of the Saiwai.

In this new city of Yandong, Youzhou's idea is that seventy percent of the Wuhuan people and thirty percent of the Han people live in it. Yan Dong should not be so bad as to hand over control of the city to the Wuhuan people, so Yan Bei can guess that the losses of the Wuhuan soldiers in the Battle of Shanggu should exceed that of the Xianbei enemy, although the defeat of Micah's troops to achieve a strategic victory, but if it is only about casualties, the Battle of Shanggu should be their loss.

Sure enough, at the end of the Yandong battle report, the bad news was told to Yan Beibei - the Xianbei cavalry of the Micah tribe was extremely powerful, and each cavalry could make surprising dodge movements on their mounts, wielding a hard bow with a stone bow to shoot at the Wuhuan army, and charging with spears and wooden shields when engaged, which brought great casualties to the Wuhuan cavalry.

In the Wuhuan army, only the most skilled riders could be on a par with the Xianbei cavalry, and such riders, even for each Wuhuan king's subordinates, only had eight hundred and one thousand such warriors.

The Xianbei people have become more difficult to deal with than in previous years.

And such a reason was also mentioned at the end of the Yandong war report. On the carcasses of horses left behind by the Xianbei army after the war, they found double horses and a higher saddle, which allowed riders who knew how to ride on horses and walk on the ground with their hands free.

This kind of double horse pedal is not a new object, as early as when Yan Bei was still in Youzhou, he found such a type of stirrup on the way to conquer the Xianbei people, and later applied it to the most elite Yan Zhao warriors of the Yan clan. And the saddle called by Yandong is a new thing for Yanbei.

But whether it is fresh or not, this is enough to make Yanbei vigilant, the fundamental reason is that in order to avoid the strong cavalry of the hostile princes when the Yan clan was weak, Yanbei did not apply a large number of two-horse pedals to all troops, and most of the Han cavalry did not, let alone the Wuhuan army...... Wu Huan's heavy casualties were caused by him.

To make matters worse, the state of Ma Teng also did not have a double pedal.

Sure enough, ten years after Yandong sent the battle report, Ma Teng from Bingzhou also discovered this problem, the Qiang cavalry that the Xiliang strongman was proud of suffered greatly in the main army of Xianbei Kebineng, and even if the same number of Liangliang cavalry attacked the flank of the Xianbei army with better tactics, it still could not be equal to the Xianbei cavalry who came to their senses, and Yunzhong County suffered a big defeat.

Across the entire Taihang Mountains, Yanbei could feel the shame of Ma Teng's incompetence in defending the land through the battle report.

The Xianbei people's southward march did not cause much loss to Bingzhou, but in the face of the Xianbei army with fierce cavalry as the main force and a large number of infantry archers as the attacker, Ma Teng could only stick to the city in various places and give up the rescue of the countryside...... He was unable to send troops to fight the Xianbei people in the field at the cost of heavy casualties.

Although Ma Teng had received the news that the Xianbei people had gathered troops and horses outside the Saiwai before the war, and collected the people of Yunzhong, Wuyuan and other places into the city, Yunzhong County was still largely overwhelmed by the Xianbei enemy army.

Everyone is not idle, Yanbei swept the princes in the south of the Central Plains, Kebi can fight hard in the northern grasslands, and he has enough strength to give Yanbei a big shame in the battle of the Snow Army.

Compared with the predicament faced by the north, when Zhang Liao's war report arrived in Handan, Yanbei couldn't help but stroke his palms and laugh: "This God-blessed person Zhang Wenyuan!" ”

The Xiaocai general headquarters attacking Jingzhou from Yuzhou has been successfully stationed in Jiangxia under the command of Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao sent a letter to the king of Zhao to report the good news, this winter he will lead the army in Jiangxia for the New Year, hoping that the king of Zhao can send someone to reward him with some hometown cheese, to comfort the loneliness of thousands of miles away from home to fight for the country.

In the letter, Zhang Liao bluntly said that he did not encounter any decent resistance in Jiangxia, and saw the heavy military array with the banner of Yan Zhao floating in the far away city and surrendered early, and even when Zhang Liao entered Xiling, he sent a message to the surrounding areas, and a letter went out to many cities and surrendered, and they hung the banner of Yan Zhao one after another.

Of course, what is indispensable in the letter is to praise Xue Zhou's defeat of Cao Cao on the river, and to attack the Cao army formation of more than 10 large ships and dozens of small boats in the water battle with the dissatisfaction of the school captain's department, which is 7,000 people, more than a dozen large ships and dozens of small boats, Cao Cao was defeated and scared away, and also grabbed more than 30 of the two large ships, such a feat is only the greatest achievement in the water war of Zhao State.

Zhang Liao also sent a set of armor to Yanbei, which were human armor and horse armor, and said in the letter that this set of armor belonged to the most elite cavalry tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao's subordinates, and Zhang Liao believed that these things could be applied to the cavalry army in the north of Yan.

For Zhang Liao's request, Yanbei of course will not refuse, not only sent people to Bingzhou to find the most famous cheese in Yanmen to send to Zhang Liao quickly, but also rewarded Zhang Liao's wife and children living in Handan, Zhang Liao's teenage son was awarded the seventh-level title of prince by Yanbei, granted Tian Jiuqing, entered the palace of Zhao Wang, and became the 'richest man' at his age.

"Ordered Youji and Liangsi, teleported double stirrups and Takahashi saddles, stepped up the system, and equipped all the cavalry of General Taishi before leaving the customs, waiting for the war in the coming year. Another message to Youzhou Mu, to appease the Wuhuan generals, Beixincheng to Han people sixty percent, Wuhuan forty percent to live, the battle Wuhuan wounded soldiers killed in the war, are Youzhou pension. ”
