Fierce battles were raging on the city of Wuzhou, and the dense sound of bull horns resounded through the mountains.

Chang Yuchun led more than 4,000 Youzhou cavalry to Wuzhou City in time and rushed into the pass like a tide.

"Fresh in auxiliary, fresh in silver, you go to the east city wall." Chang Yuchun ran wildly and shouted loudly, "Qi Zhou, you follow me to the west city wall, to the west city wall." Brothers, kill it, kill it......"

………………

Tu Xihong was a famous warrior in Xianbei in the west, and he rushed to the front line of the siege.

Tu Xihong raised his eyes and looked at the pass, and all the dense crowds were Youzhou soldiers. They abandoned their horses and galloped, and at the city wall they formed two roaring dragons, whistling along the long and wide stone steps of east and west.

Tu Xihong raised his knife and roared: "Shoot...... Archers, give me a salvo, salvo ......"

The Xianbei archers, under the command of an officer, launched a frenzied fire on the Han army.

The soldiers of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry were fearless in the face of the long arrows in the sky, they held their weapons high, stepped on the corpses of their comrades, shouted hoarsely, and ran.

Lu Bu kicked away and fell to his corpse, and while retreating, he ordered loudly: "Brothers, kill the archers, kill the archers......

Hearing this, the nearby Han soldiers retreated sharply and slaughtered the Xianbei archers.

The Han soldiers on the city wall suffered heavy casualties, especially at the breakthrough of the Xianbei people, where at least hundreds of corpses were piled up on top of each other. When the soldiers were cut off from life, they were no longer fettered and fought bravely.

………………

Ritsuri personally led the first batch of 300 guards to the city wall. He saw that the Han army was swarming and the advantage he had previously occupied was about to be wiped out, so he couldn't help but be angry, pointed his sword forward, and roared wildly: "Xianbei warriors, kill, kill ......"

When the Xianbei people saw that the noble adult personally killed the city wall, their morale was greatly boosted. All of them are reluctant to forget life and death, and call forward.

The soldiers on both sides looked angry and hideous, and everyone was like a hungry wolf, entangled with each other, each swinging his sword at each other, shooting arrows and spears, and countless lives were scattered with the bloody rain and bloody wind in this short moment.

………………

Chang Yuchun rose into the air and chopped down with a knife, and the enemy's howl was accompanied by blood splashing everywhere. sprayed Chang Yuchun's head and face.

Lu Bu once again met Tu Xihong, and the two fought fiercely, never to the death.

The sword deduced by Ritsuri was flying, and the blood on the knife turned into drops of blood and jumped in the air.

The battle was tragic and bloody, and the sound of huge and noisy fighting echoed in the sky above Wuzhou City.

The Xianbei people could not resist more and more Han troops and gradually retreated.

The handsome handsome who took over the command of Ritsuri Deduction in Guanxia was so anxious that he heard the rapid sound of a bull's horn coming from the city, which was Ritsuri Deduction asking for support.

He beckoned vigorously and motioned for the second group of soldiers to charge.

………………

Li Yi stood on Gouzhu Mountain. Look around.

"The terrain of Gouzhu Mountain is dangerous, and it has always been a military important place for troops." Liu Bowen stood beside him, pointed to the mountains in the four fields, and said with a smile. "Gouzhu Mountain is also known as Yanmen Mountain, Shanling, and Xicheng Mountain. The peaks here are tall and the terrain is dangerous. Since the construction of the pass, there is a husband when the pass is not open, it is strong outside the gate of the guard, inside the lock and key of Taiyuan. The root is at the three levels, and the throat is all Jin. Legend has it that every spring, the southern wild goose flies north. The mouth holds the reed leaves, flies to the wild goose gate and circles for a long time, until the leaves fall to pass the customs. Therefore, there is a saying that the geese fly out of Yanmen Mountain. ”

Li Yi smiled, turned back to the people behind him and said, "Good place." I've heard that this was once a thriving place for people, right? ”

"Yes." Liu Bowen said, "What the lord said is true, but that was more than a hundred years ago. ”

"During the time of Emperor Wu of the former dynasty, in order to enhance the strength of the Han army to resist the Xiongnu, he had opened up wasteland in Yunzhong County and Dingxiang County, set up a garden supervisor, and raised a large number of military horses. Later, the strength of the Han army was improved, and Emperor Wu ordered Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to lead 50,000 cavalry each, and hundreds of thousands of infantry to turn around and heel troops, respectively out of Dingxiang and Daijun, and go deep into Mobei to find and annihilate the main force of the Xiongnu. ”

"Huo Qubing led the army north for more than 2,000 miles, crossed Lihou Mountain, crossed the Gonglu River, engaged in battle with the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang, annihilated more than 70,000 enemies, captured 3 people including the Xiongnu Tuntou King and Han Wang and 83 people including generals, Xiangguo, Danghu, and Duwei, and pursued them to Wolf Juxu Mountain, held a sacrifice ceremony in Wolf Juxu Mountain, and held a sacrifice to the earth in Guyan Mountain, and the soldiers were forced to Hanhai."

After this battle, the Xiongnu were swept away by the Han army in Monan, and the Xiongnu fled to Mobei, and there was no royal court in Monan. The offensive war against the Xiongnu initiated by him and Wei Qing changed the long-term defensive state of our Han in the war against the Xiongnu and defeated the Xiongnu in one fell swoop. Thus long-term protection of the Great Wall in the north of our Han Dynasty, that is, the border security in the Monan region, this battle is the farthest Han Dynasty to attack the Xiongnu. The acquisition of a large area of land has greatly expanded the territory of our Han Dynasty. ”

"At that time, the Huns were defeated, and many Huns surrendered to our Han. Emperor Wu ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness, and did not exterminate them, but placed them in the border counties of Beidi, Shuofang, and Yunzhong. In the second year, the Central Plains was catastrophic, and tens of millions of people were displaced. Emperor Wu categorically ordered the relocation of more than 700,000 disaster victims to the area around the fertile Hetao area, which was the second large-scale northward migration after the Great Qin State moved to the border. ”

"After arriving in a large area south of the Yellow River, the victims began to clear the fields. At that time, their eternal food, seeds, and cattle were all provided by the imperial court free of charge. The army also helped them dig many irrigation canals to divert water from the Yellow River, such as Hanbo and Hanyan, to irrigate farmland and grow grain. After the hard work of these people who moved inwards for several generations, the originally uninhabited meadow area has presented a prosperous scene of 'horses and cattle indulgence and livestock accumulation in the wilderness' inside and outside the Great Wall. ”

"Oh, I see." Li Yi suddenly said, "What about later?" ”

"Later, ......" Liu Bowen smiled bitterly and sighed, "The troubles of the Huns have not been removed, and the Xianbei people have begun to become strong again. And so the invasion continued. The war in the border county continued, and the lives were devastated, and this prosperous scene was like a passing cloud, and there was no more. ”

"On the contrary, since Emperor Wu, my Great Han Kingdom has not regained its prosperity. After the decline of the country, the imperial court was naturally unable to resist the invasion of the Hu people, so it had to let them come and go freely in the border counties, burning, killing and plundering. Now, the Xianbei people dare to go deep into the hinterland of my Han Dynasty unscrupulously, is it true that my Han Kingdom has really declined to this point? ”

"What about people? What about millions? Li Yi asked, "Could it be that they were all killed by the Hu people?" ”

"Pretty much." Liu Bowen said, "Even if they were not killed by the Hu people, they were slaughtered by our army because of the rebellion. Now, apart from the Hu people, there are very few Han people here. ”

"In the past few decades, the Xiongnu and the Han people in the border counties have been subjected to the exploitation and oppression of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and have gathered people to rebel, especially in Wuyuan and Yunzhong counties." Liu Bowen said, "The most powerful one was the rebellion of the Southern Xiongnu in the fifth year of Yonghe, such as the Dragon King Wusi and Che Button, who led more than 3,000 horsemen to ride the Kouxi River and kill Shuofang and Shangjun Changshi. Protecting the Huns Zhonglang forced Chen Gui to go to the corpse of Te Ruo to kill Shan Yu, Che Niu established himself as Shan Yu in September, and Zhang Tan defeated him in December, and Che Niu surrendered to Han. ”

"The continuous rebellion in Bingzhou was a fatal blow to the Great Han State." Liu Bowen sighed, "The depth of corrupt officials and corrupt officials harming the country and the people can be seen from this. ”

"My Han country has such a corrupt court and bureaucrats, how can the country not be defeated, how can the dynasty not die?" Tai Shi Ci said excitedly, "Lord, look at this country, the society is full of holes and devastation, how can it be saved?" The lord is now ......"

"Ziyi ......" Li Yi hurriedly stopped, "Now that the Hu clan is invading, the enemy is pressing the border, and the situation is critical, you still say such frustrating words?" ”

Liu Bowen saw that Li Yi's face was not good, so he hurriedly reached out and pulled Tai Shici's sleeve, signaling him to stop talking nonsense.

"Ziyi, Shunzhi, Berwyn, look at it, if I place 10,000 horses here, can I stop the 200,000 army of the Xianbei people?" Li Yi pointed to the surrounding mountains and asked.

Dian Wei shook his head and said, "It's impossible. ”

"10,000 horses, maybe you can hold out for half a day." Liu Bowen said cautiously, "If the lord plans to ambush the Xianbei people in Guangwu, this blocking location is very unideal. Gouzhu Mountain is only sixty miles away from Guangwu, which is too close, and once the follow-up army of the Xianbei people breaks through our resistance, they will soon be able to reach Guangwu. When the time comes, we will be surrounded by Xianbei people. ”

Tai Shi Ci also shook his head and said: "The idea of the lord withdrawing from Gouzhu Mountain and waiting for an opportunity to ambush the enemy is best approved by the imperial court before starting to make arrangements." ”

"This plan to lure the enemy is very risky, once there is a mistake, let the Xianbei people cross the Gouzhu Mountain, enter Taiyuan County, and threaten Si Li, the lord is a capital crime." Liu Bowen reminded in a low voice.

Li Yi glanced at them, smiled coldly, and didn't make a sound.

"Does the lord insist on doing what he wants?" Tai Shi Ci asked boldly.

"The 20,000 Jizhou soldiers who were assigned carried a large amount of grain and grass, even if they traveled day and night, it would take two days to get here." Li Yi said, "At present, in the area of Yanmen County, we only have Guiying's 20,000 cavalry, Yide's 25,000 infantry, and the 8,000 cavalry around us. All told, we only have more than 50,000 people, but we have to deal with 200,000 Hu people. ”

Li Yi paused for a moment and continued: "We don't have enough food and grass, we don't have enough weapons, and after three days, our soldiers not only have nothing to eat, but they don't even have arrows. In this case, the imperial court actually let us defend the front line of the Great Wall, isn't it a bit of a child's play with human life? Is it true that the lives of soldiers are all mustard? ”

Tai Shici's faces were ashamed, and they were a little overwhelmed.

"If everything is done according to the will of the imperial court, if 10,000 of my Li Yi's 50,000 troops can survive, it will be an eye-opener." Li Yi calmed down his emotions and said slowly, "The Xianbei people have already fought to the edge of the river, and my cavalry army has long been out of the fortress, but the grain and grass of the army have not yet entered Yanmen County, can I let my soldiers go hungry and fight with their bare hands?" ”

Li Yi pointed to his head, smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's okay if one of my heads falls off, but I can't let all 50,000 heads fall off." ”

"Since the Son of Heaven has asked me to lead the military and political affairs of Youzhou and Bingzhou to resist the Hu coalition army, then here, I have the final say, and I will fight as I say!" (To be continued.) )
