774. Changes in the Battle of Luoyang

Luan Tihu Chuquan's initiative to surrender caught Ma Teng a little off guard.

Ma Teng didn't expect things to turn out like this at all, but after a big battle, the Southern Huns actually took the initiative to surrender, which was too smooth.

However, Ma Teng couldn't make any decisions about this, so he quickly sent the news of Luan Tihu Chuquan's voluntary surrender to Zhang Xiu and Chen Qun, ready to discuss with them how to deal with this matter.

As a result, Chen Qun rushed to Baitu County as soon as possible, and immediately negotiated the surrender of the Southern Huns on behalf of Zhu Wei and Luan Tihu Chuquan.

Although Zhu Wei has not yet received any instructions, Chen Qun feels that if he can make the Southern Huns surrender now, it will definitely be a beneficial and harmless thing, and he believes that Zhu Wei will definitely agree with his judgment and understand that he is doing everything now.

Of course, only at a time stage like this, a military and strategic talent with high intelligence and high politics like Chen Qun would dare to do such a thing.

So under the negotiation between Chen Qun and Luan Tihu Chuquan, Luan Tihu Chuquan officially surrendered to Zhu Wei's name, of course, Chen Qun couldn't ask for a false name, so he let Luan Tihu Chuquan go back to the royal court.

Therefore, at the request of Chen Qun, Luan Tihu Chuquan once again issued a single conscription order from the Southern Xiongnu, summoning the previously defeated Xiongnu cavalry and other tribal cavalry that remained in the rear of the Southern Xiongnu, and all gathered on the side of Baitu County.

Of course, this time the Hun cavalry was not assembled to attack Guanzhong, at least nominally at the order of Zhu Wei, the general of the Han hussars, to assist Zhu Wei in his conquest of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Therefore, under the command of Zhu Weijun, they will go to Luoyang together to join Zhu Weijun in the war against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

This time, Luan Tihu Chuquan went out to Guanzhong, and originally took his uncle Liu Qubei, the right sage king of the Southern Xiongnu, to go with him, and left his nephew Liu Bao, the king of the left sage, to stay in the royal court.

This Zuoxian King Liu Bao is also the Xiongnu nobleman who robbed Cai Wenji before, and now Cai Wenji is being enjoyed by him as a female slave.

Now, according to the agreement between Chen Qun and Luan Tihu Chuquan, the Zuoxian King and the Right Xian King of the Southern Xiongnu will lead 40,000 Xiongnu cavalry to Luoyang to support Zhu Wei to quell the rebellion, and as for the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Luan Tihu Chuquan, he can temporarily return to the royal court to recuperate.

Chen Qun's suggestion actually had a benefit to Luan Tihu Chuquan, that is, to help him transfer the left and right virtuous kings of the Southern Xiongnu royal court who were enough to threaten his position, so that Luan Tihu Chuquan would have time to stabilize the unfavorable situation caused by this defeat after returning to the royal court.

Of course, for Zhu Wei's side, it is to be able to harvest more than 40,000 Hun cavalry as combat power.

Although among these Hun cavalry, there are only the Hun guards around Liu Bao, the king of the left sage, and Liu Qubei, the king of the right sage, which can be regarded as regular Hun cavalry, and most of the other Hun cavalry are still ordinary herdsmen, but at least they are a cavalry force of more than 40,000.

According to Chen Qun's concept, in the future, the Hun cavalry of more than 40,000 people is afraid that it is unlikely that they will easily return to the Southern Xiongnu tribe, and they can be used as cannon fodder in many wars in the Central Plains, which can greatly reduce the loss of the main force on Zhu Wei's side.

Of course, when Luan Tihu Chuquan summoned these Hun cavalry to gather in Baitu County, I was afraid that it would take some time, so during this period, Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu were not good at leaving casually, so they could only accompany them and wait for the Huns to gather together.

However, this time is also just the right time to report to Zhu Wei's side, waiting for Zhu Wei to send them new instructions.

But because of such a delay, the Liangzhou war that Zhu Wei originally wanted Ma Teng to launch was basically delayed, and Yan Xing, who had returned to Liangzhou before, had no choice but to evacuate from Liangzhou with his family and the remnants of Han Sui in Liangzhou.

Although Han Sui's original power in Liangzhou surpassed that of Liangzhou Mu Weiduan, now that Han Sui died, Yan Xing could not inherit much of the remnants of Han Sui's army after all.

Li Kan, Cheng Yin and others, who were originally attached to Han Sui, all switched to Ma Teng, and only Yang Qiu was still in Anding County, Liangzhou, but now he naturally would not obey Yan Xing's orders.

In addition, after the defeat of Han Sui's army, many soldiers filled Ma Teng's Fubo battalion and Zhang Xiu's and Zhang Liao's tiger wing battalions, and now the rest of Han Sui's army under Yan Xing's control is only more than 4,000 infantry and cavalry.

These forces can only allow Yan Xing to protect himself, but if he wants to attack Liangzhou Mu Wei Duan in Liangzhou and force Wei Duan to surrender to Zhu Wei, he is still powerless.

In this way, Yan Xing finally protected his family and left Jincheng County, Liangzhou to come to Luoyang, and after preparing to settle his family in Luoyang, he participated in Zhu Weijun's war against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in Luoyang.

It can be said that many things are planned to keep up with the changes.

Well, with the changes in the war in Bingzhou and Xuzhou, although Zhu Wei's troops on the periphery are still temporarily restrained and unable to do other things, in general, the form is still very good.

At the same time, from Zhu Wei's rear, many reinforcements were also sent to Luoyang.

For example, on the Yizhou side, the Jiangjiao battalion in Ganning, together with the nearly 20,000 Yizhou young men who were roughly reorganized in Chengdu, have already passed to Jingzhou by water, and will eventually support Luoyang.

After receiving Zhu Wei's order, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong also obediently sent his younger brother Zhang Wei, generals Yang Ren, Yang Bai and about 20,000 main forces of the Hanzhong Army to enter Jingzhou from Hanzhong, and will join the Jiangjiao Battalion of Ganning and the Yizhou Qingzhuang New Army in Jingzhou to go to Luoyang to support together.

In addition, Wang Yuyan recruited about 20,000 young men from Jiangdong and Jingzhou as new troops in Jingzhou, and said that he had moved the Wen Pingshi who was originally guarding Liu Biao's spirit in Xiangyang, and asked him to lead these new troops to Luoyang to support.

At this time, the number of troops supporting Luoyang can increase by at least nearly 100,000, so that Zhu Wei can have more troops to compete with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

It's just that it is estimated that it will take ten days and a half months for these reinforcements to arrive in Luoyang, so we can also focus on the frontline battle in Luoyang first.

At this time, Yuan Shao had already captured two military villages on the north bank of the Yellow River defense line built by Zhu Wei, and it had become a situation of confrontation with Zhu Wei's army across the Yellow River.

Of course, in order to capture the two military fortresses of Zhu Wei's army on the north bank of the Yellow River, which were constructed by Mengjin and Xiaopingjin, Yuan Shao's army once again paid the price of losing more than 10,000 troops.

But then in the face of the natural danger of the Yellow River, Yuan Shao could only search for the boats crossing the river before he could continue the war, otherwise he would not be able to cross the Yellow River, and no matter how many soldiers and horses he had, it would be useless.

However, Zhu Weijun had already emptied any ships that could be found around the Yellow River defense line, so Yuan Shao could only send people to move farther away to transfer boats to cross the river, all of which could not be achieved in a short time.

Therefore, before Yuan Shaojun officially crossed the river, Zhu Weijun's fighting on the Yellow River defense line was temporarily suspended......
