The news of Yanmen County's victory reached Luoyang, bringing a festive atmosphere to the Han Empire, which was in turmoil. The Son of Heaven issued three holy decrees to reward the front-line soldiers.

Li Yi was promoted from the general of Zhenbei to the general of Zhengbei, the same position as the third duke, and the food was promoted to 10,000 households. Mu Guiying, Chang Yuchun, and Xu Daqian were promoted to the generals of Pingyu. The rest of the generals were promoted to one level, and the soldiers were rewarded with more silk silks.

The Son of Heaven was very excited, and under the praise of the ministers, he was a little fluttering, and then moved Xu Xiang to Situ, and Guanglu Xun Ding Palace to Sikong.

The Son of Heaven drank a lot of wine, sat in the Shang study room and chatted with Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look, after the victory of Yanmen County, did the Xianbei people turn around and run away?"

"The Xianbei people have lost nearly 160,000 troops, and they are all broken, and it is estimated that they have already escaped from the Outer Great Wall." Huangfu Song said with a smile, "General Li is both wise and brave, and he is like a god in his army, and he is the pillar of my Han Dynasty." ”

"He's not bad." The Son of Heaven said with a smile, "After he led the army to drive the Xianbei people out of the state, I plan to let her return to Youzhou to quell the rebellion in the two states, what do the two Aiqing think?" ”

"The minister also plans to do so, and is preparing to propose it to His Majesty." Lu Zhi said, "Now the Black Mountain ant thieves are ready to move, intending to harass Hanoi and threaten Gyeonggi, so it is better for the Northern Army to stay in Luoyang." The aftermath of Western Xinjiang can be handed over to General Dong Zhuo to be responsible. ”

"General Li was originally guarding Youzhou, and his return to Youzhou to quell the rebellion can save a lot of military funds." Huangfu Song added, "What's more, once the Xiliang rebels are appeased, we will have to spend a sum of money. ”

"Is there any news from He Hao?" The Son of Heaven asked.

"There's news right away." Huangfu Song said with a smile, "General Li annihilated 160,000 enemies in one battle, which is estimated to have frightened the kingdom and Han Sui, and at this time, they will agree to any conditions." ”

"After this battle, my big man will be stable for a few years." Lu Zhi happily arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty first." ”

………………

On the way to retreat. Bald Pi Gu and Ritsu Deduction and others are discussing things.

Yan Liyou asked, "Are you sure the king escaped?" ”

"What if you're not sure?" Ritsu said with a wry smile, "We have suffered successive defeats and our morale is low, and this battle can no longer be fought, so we can only retreat." ”

"Retreat to the steppe?" Yan Liyou said unwillingly, "This is the largest battle we have fought south since the death of King Tanshihuai, I thought it was ......."

"Hey......" Ritsuri patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "If the king is still alive." Or ......"

He glanced at the bald Pi Gu, and said in an accentuated tone: "It's Marshal Budugen who commands the army, how can we have such a fiasco." ”

The bald man jumped twice for no reason, he snorted coldly, looked at the lush mountains, and said nothing.

Yan Liyou understood and immediately mocked: "Some people have little ability, but they have a lot of heart, and they have a reputation on the prairie. I thought I could dominate the grassland and conquer the world, but in fact, it was all bullshit and jokes. ”

Bald Pi Lone's face was cold. Another sneer came out of his nose.

"Putou, this idiot, doesn't count losing all of himself, but also harms us." Ritsuri flicked the horsewhip hatefully and said angrily. "Lao Yan, Lao Zhi, let's cross the Yellow River. Go back, don't be a crutch for others anymore. ”

"What about the king?" "We'll have to wait until the king has heard the exact news before we go back?" ”

"That's a bald adult's business, and it has nothing to do with us anymore." Ritsuri looked at the bald man and said, "Our people and horses are all gone, I have more than enough strength now, and staying here will cause trouble for the bald adult, why don't you go home?" ”

The 200,000 allied forces of Xianbei and Xiongnu and Dongqiang invaded Bingzhou in a vain attempt to eliminate the main force of the Han army and the main force of the Youzhou Army under Li Yi, the general of the northern part of the Han Dynasty, in Bingzhou, and then went south to the Central Plains and swept through the Sili area. However, after a series of battles in Yanmen County, the army of more than 160,000 was wiped out, leaving only a few thousand men and horses of Kuixian, the leader of Dongqiang who stayed behind in Juzhu Mountain, and more than 20,000 people in the hands of Bald Pi Lone. As a result, Ritsuri couldn't keep his composure.

The bald man looked at him expressionlessly, nodded, and said, "Go home?" I'm afraid it's not that easy, right? ”

"Li Yi fought two battles in a day, he was tired, and he was still chasing?" Ritsuri deduced glaring at Qingqing and said, "If he dares to chase him, I will kill him." ”

While everyone was talking, the bald Pigu suddenly received a message from someone sent by Kuixian.

"What did that cunning coward say? Are you going to slip away? Yan Liyou said disdainfully, "The Qiang people's faces have made this kid lose their faces." ”

"Although the Huns were defeated by us, there are still Tu people to support their faces, and the Qiang people ......," Ri Ri sneered, "Qiang people? This time we were defeated by the Qiang people, and I must avenge this revenge. This kid doesn't want to go through the sentence, there must be a ghost in his heart. ”

"What are you talking about?" The bald man folded the wooden slab in half and threw it into the bushes by the side of the road, "The king has a whereabouts." ”

Ri Ri Deduction, Zhi Luo Luo and Yan Liyou were first happy, and then looked at each other solemnly.

"The king has arrived at Juzhu Mountain?" "He lost the battle, and he didn't meet us, so he was in such a hurry to go back?" The king of my Xianbei country is so virtuous? ”

"He'd rather believe the Qiang than us, it's so disappointing." Ri Ri sighed, "Forget it, let's go back, he's finished, even if he returns to Danhan Mountain, he's finished, and the king of Xianbei Country is no longer Putou." ”

The bald Pi Gu looked at the figures of the Ri Ri deduction, the Luo Luo and the banquet Liyou gradually moving away, and a smile appeared on his face.

A masked man walked up behind the bald man and whispered, "Will these three old guys get in the way?" ”

"No, it won't." The bald man smiled and said, "Pu Tou is suspicious by nature, no one trusts him, he has gone too far." ”

"The person who sent the letter to Danhan Mountain should have already passed Juzhu Mountain and grabbed the front of Putou." The masked man said, "Now Putou is in Kuixian's army, but he won't act alone on the Great Wall, so let's let Kuixian ......?"

Bald Pi shook his hand and said categorically: "This kind of thing can't be said, once it leaks out, how will we gain a foothold on the grassland in the future?" It's still the old way, let Li Yi solve it. ”

"But it's too dangerous, I've fought Li Yi many times, and I can't see the depth of this person at all. My cowardly Li Yi's kid wiped out the bait we threw out, but it didn't achieve our goal. The masked man dissuaded, "My lord, it's better to be safe." ”

"What is 10,000?" The bald man said disdainfully, "If we can kill Putou, the Xianbei country will fall apart, and my bald tribe can take the opportunity to rise in the prairie." ”

………………

As soon as he learned of the resurgence of rebellion in Jizhou and Youzhou, all Li Yi thought about was to immediately give up chasing and killing Xianbei people and return to Youzhou. After all, Youzhou is his lair and his foundation. Now that someone has copied the nest, how can Li Yi not be in a hurry.

However, he soon calmed down and discovered that the situation in Youzhou was not as dangerous as it seemed.

First of all, Li Yi's real nest Quanzhou is still under his control. Xun Di led 5,000 Youzhou troops to sit in Quanzhou, plus 100,000 people in Quanzhou City, as well as Quanzhou City's current almost deformed city defense system, with the rabble of rebels, without 200,000 troops, it is basically impossible to capture Quanzhou in three or five months.

As long as Quanzhou is not lost, there will be no danger to his relatives.

Secondly, although Youzhou is now facing the attack of the Xianbei people, with Yue Fei, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, three generals who can stand alone, and Jia Xu, Xun You and Tian Feng, the three top military divisions, the situation will not be bad.

Of course, what reassures Li Yi the most is the troops. The remaining troops in Youzhou are only 50,000 on the surface, but in fact they are far more than these forces, otherwise how dare Li Yi leave only these 50,000 horses to resist the attack of more than 100,000 Xianbei iron cavalry.

The real terrifying war force in Youzhou is the millions of militias hidden among the people, and these forces are the real forces that make people desperate. The reason why Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and others were able to occupy many cities in Youzhou before this was just because the incident happened suddenly, and these forces could not be quickly organized. Once these forces are organized, the hundreds of thousands of rabble rebels will not be able to make any waves.

Therefore, Li Yi quickly calmed down his somewhat restless subordinates and continued to arrange the action of chasing and killing the Xianbei people in an orderly manner. He ordered Zhang Fei to lead the infantry to clean up the battlefield and place prisoners, while he himself led the remaining iron cavalry to quickly pursue the Xianbei people.

On the way, a scout picked up the wooden slab that the bald Pi Gu threw away and handed it to Li Yi. Li Yi connected the wooden slabs that were broken into two pieces, looked at them twice, and suddenly became murderous.

"Putou has run to Juzhu Mountain." He suddenly turned around and shouted, "Order the army, speed up the march, and immediately rush to Juzhu Mountain." ”

When the bald Pigu and the others arrived at Juzhu Mountain, Putou and Kuixian had already led the army to retreat to Mayi City. The bald Pi was lonely and didn't say a word, and immediately ordered to give up Juzhu Mountain, and hurried to Mayi City to meet Putou.

Kui Xian originally wanted to rest in Mayi City, but he couldn't withstand Putou's persuasion, so he led people to continue to retreat to the Outer Great Wall overnight.

When he arrived at Juzhu Mountain, he didn't even see the shadow of a Xianbei person, and Li Yi hesitated a little. If he continues to pursue, he will be alone in the depths, and once he is eaten by the Xianbei people, the loss will be great.

He discussed with Xu Maogong, Liu Bowen and others for a long time, and finally decided that he would take the iron cavalry of the personal guard battalion and the 3,000 cavalry of Chang Yuchun first. Armed with sufficient rations and weapons, they marched north overnight and continued their pursuit.

Mu Guiying and Xu Da took the rest of the cavalry to be a hundred miles away from him, and then followed. At the same time, Zhang Fei was informed to quickly lead the army to cross the Juzhu Mountain and come to the rendezvous as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
