Zhang Yan took 3,000 elite cavalry and 20,000 Hun cavalry to Beibei, and after a long journey, finally arrived in Yuanping County, which was less than 100 miles away from Yanmen Pass.
At this moment, the scouts came with the news that Xianbei Shan Yu Bineng led 100,000 Xianbei iron horsemen and had entered Yanmen Pass.
"It's a step too late!" After Zhang Yan heard the news, he sighed heavily.
"Regent, when the military advisor was leaving, he once gave you a bag, saying that if the Xianbei people have entered the Yanmen Pass, please open the bag, and now is the time to open the bag." Tai Shi Ci reminded on the side.
After being reminded by Tai Shici, Zhang Yan immediately remembered, and immediately took out the bag from his arms, and after opening it, but saw that there was a letter inside, Zhang Yan hurriedly looked at it, and the dark clouds on his face were swept away, and hahadaxiao got up, and said to himself: "Wonderful plan!" Coup! What a clever plan! ”
Tai Shi Ci asked curiously, "Regent, what tricks did the military advisor leave behind?" ”
Zhang Yan smiled: "Keep it secret for the time being, and you'll know when the time comes." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan ordered the army to speed up the march and be sure to rush to Guangwu County within today's day. In addition, Zhang Yan sent someone to the back to inform Zhang Liao and Xu Huang to lead the army to prepare in Yuanping County.
Guangwu County and Yuanping County are only fifty miles apart, Zhang Yan led the army all the way, and finally arrived in Guangwu County at the time of the day, but along the way encountered many people who fled south from Guangwu County.
Zhang Yan sent people to inquire about these people, and learned that the Xianbei people had left Yanmen Pass and divided their troops into several routes. From north to south. Sweeping through villages, towns and even county towns along the way.
Li County. Loufu, Yinguan and other counties have been seriously damaged, Xianbei people burned, killed and looted, all kinds of evil, the people of the three counties are not happy, and Guangwu County heard the news, have dragged their families with their mouths, and fled in despair.
According to the news of the people, Guangwu County at this time. It is already an empty city, but the Xianbei people have not yet arrived in Guangwu County.
So, Zhang Yan guided the people to flee in the direction of Taiyuan, and he led Tai Shici, Qubei and other cavalry to quickly go to Guangwu County, where they prepared to meet the first battle with the Xianbei people!
The group rushed for another half an hour and finally arrived at Guangwu County. The people who couldn't escape were really telling the truth, the city of Guangwu County had already been empty, and the ground in the city was even more of a mess, and the whole city was very desolate, and there was not even a single person.
Zhang Yan ordered to enter the city. and sent scouts to inquire about the news of the Xianbei people, and he made some arrangements in the city. The flag of the Han army was planted, the city gates were closed, the streets were cleaned, and 23,000 cavalry were ready to fight.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the scout returned and told Zhang Yan that the Xianbei people were close at hand, and he was afraid that he would come to Guangwu County without a stick of incense, and he also told Zhang Yan about the crimes committed by the Xianbei people.
After Zhang Yan heard this, he was very angry, he never thought that Xianbei people would be so cruel and unkind. Qubei also took the opportunity to add fuel and vinegar, and beguiled Zhang Yan to fight to the death with the Xianbei people.
In the northern frontier area at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Southern Xiongnu were three relatively powerful nomadic peoples, and the three nomads took a posture of leaving the Han Dynasty. For this reason, rebellions often occur on the northern frontier.
But in contrast, the Southern Xiongnu are a more honest one, and the number of rebellions is relatively pitiful compared to Xianbei and Wuhuan.
Among them, Xianbei is the greatest threat to the Han Dynasty, since the Xiongnu was divided into two branches in the north and south, the Southern Xiongnu attached to the Han Dynasty, and the Northern Xiongnu moved west to the Western Regions, the Xianbei people have become the most active race on the grassland, but the Xianbei people have been in a state of fragmentation, without complete unity, until a person named Tanshi Huai appeared.
Tanshihuai has courage and ambition, is the first to unify the Xianbei tribes, and then Tanshihuai Xianbei from a loose tribal group into a tribal alliance, by him as the big Danyu, and follow the Huns, the place under its jurisdiction is divided into three pieces, respectively handed over to the three Xianbei adults to manage.
In the Tanshihuai period, Xianbei is a powerful whole, often launched attacks on the Han Dynasty, threatened by Xianbei is not only the Han, together with the Southern Xiongnu who are attached to the Han also suffered, once attacked by the Xianbei people, killed a lot of people.
As a result, Xianbei and the Xiongnu formed a blood feud, but afraid of Xianbei's strength, the Xiongnu could only rely on the Han to stand up for themselves.
Subsequently, the Han court sent a large army to attack Xianbei, but was defeated by Xianbei, and at that time, Tanshi Huai was also full of enthusiasm and was preparing to display his lifelong ambition, but he did not want to die suddenly.
After the death of Tanshi Huai, his son and Lian inherited the position of Tanshi Huai, but after He Lian succeeded to the throne, he was not only inferior to his father in talent and ability, but also greedy for money, lustful, and unscrupulous, and the rest of the tribal leaders were not convinced by him. In one operation, He Lian personally led the army to attack the Northland, but did not want to be shot to death by the Northlanders.
After the death of Helian, the leaders of the various tribes competed with each other for power and profit, so that Xianbei was in turmoil. At this time, the Great Han was also experiencing the Yellow Turban Uprising, so no one paid attention to anyone, and it was quiet for several years for a while.
But later, after some fighting, the Xianbei tribes gradually formed three major shili, one is the western Xianbei Budugen hovering in the area outside the clouds and Wuyuan Saiwai, the other is the central Xianbei Kebineng who is active in the Daijun and Shanggu areas, and the other is the eastern Xianbei composed of Suli, Micah, Jiji and others.
Originally, the three shili were evenly matched and did not invade each other, but the Wuhuan people gradually rose, using the weapons and armor obtained from trading with Zhang Yan, after unifying the Wuhuan clan, the strength increased greatly, and they began to attack the feuding Xianbei, relying on the advantages of the armor, taking one by one to break through, and defeating the eastern Xianbei Suli, Micah, and Jiji one by one, the eastern Xianbei suffered heavy losses, and was forced to move west because of the fear of the strength of the Wuhuan people.
It just so happened that Kebi, the leader of Xianbei in the central part of the country, got the news, so he took the initiative to throw an olive branch to Suli, Micah, and Jiji, and let them live on their own territory.
Su Li, Micah, Ji Ji and others were originally going to go to attach to Bu Du Gen, but to go to Bu Du Gen, they had to pass through Kebineng's territory, Ke Bineng had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and they were all eyeing them, so in desperation, they had to agree to Ke Bineng and temporarily belong to Ke Bineng.
After a year of planning, Kebi Neng suddenly led the army to attack Budugen, Budugen had no defense, and was successfully attacked by Kebineng, and after the defeat of Xianbei in the west, Budugen began to move westward, and sought to survive in Shuofang, Shangjun, and Beidi.
As a result, Kebineng became the overlord of the grassland, from Liaoxi in the east to Yunzhong in the west, and it was almost reached the territory of Tanshi Huai.
However, in Kebineng's heart, what he has to do is greater than Tanshi Huai, Tanshi Huai has never broken through Yanmen Pass in his life, but Kebineng has broken through, not only broke through Yanmen Pass, but also burned and looted in the pass, and he also had to capture Taiyuan and behead the regent Zhang Yan.
If Kebi can do all these things, at that time, he will become one of the most legendary figures in the history of the Xianbei people, and his exploits will even overshadow the sandalwood locust.
At this moment, Kebineng was leading the elite cavalry and Xiahou Chun to march towards Guangwu County, and suddenly heard that the towers of Guangwu County were full of banners written on the Han Dynasty, and there was a five-clawed golden dragon flag fluttering in the air.
Xiahou Chun said nervously: "The banner of the five-clawed golden dragon must be the regent Zhang Yan's, which means that Zhang Yan has arrived in Guangwu County." Da Danyu, if you can catch Zhang Yan, then let alone merge the state, even the whole world may be yours. ”
After hearing this, Kebi Neng's heart was overjoyed, and he immediately said to Xiahou Chun: "Since this is the case, then please ask General Xiahou to lead a large army to tentatively attack the city, if it is really confirmed that the regent Zhang Yan is in Guangwu County, then I will lead the army to attack Guangwu County, and I will kill the regent Zhang Yan at all costs." ”
Xiahou Chun said: "But I have few soldiers, and they are all infantry, and I am not Zhang Yan's opponent at all......
Kebineng said: "I know you have few soldiers, but you have rich experience in siege, and we are inferior to you in any other place except riding horses and archery." Don't worry, you're just testing the strength of the enemy, not sending you to death. ”
Xiahou Chun thought for a moment, then agreed to Kebineng's words, expressing his willingness to obey Kebineng's dispatch.
After that, Xiahou Chun ordered the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, a total of 2,000 people, bluffed along the way, and killed the county seat of Guangwu in a mighty way.
After Xiahou Chun left, the young man who had been quietly staying by Kebineng's side asked: "Da Danyu, you let Xiahou Chun test the strength of the enemy army, but I am afraid that Xiahou Chun may not do his best." ”
This person is none other than Kebineng's younger brother Zhiluohu.
After listening to Nao Rahu's words, Kebi sneered: "Everything is under my control, this time I am just sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight." ”
Zhi Luohu smiled: "It turns out that Da Dan Yu has other arrangements, but the younger brother is too worried." ”
Xiahou Chun led the army to Guangwu County first, and his heart was not peaceful along the way, and after witnessing the atrocities committed by the Xianbei people, Xiahou Chun's heart was a burst of guilt, and he regretted his rashness at the beginning, and let the Xianbei people enter the customs.
Because, Xiahou Chun's troops are very small, and it is impossible to gain a firm foothold among the Xianbei people, but Xiahou Chun is unwilling to die like this, and wants to avenge him.
Now that things have become like this, Xiahou Chun no longer thinks about the right and wrong of things, and soon came to the outside of Guangwu County with his army.
Xiahou Chun rode out, holding a big knife, and shouted loudly at the tower of Guangwu County: "Who dares to fight me to the death? (To be continued......)
