Qi Wannian was appointed as the general of Pingnan, Hanoi was too guarded, and the army of Hanoi was controlled, and now Qi Wannian returned from a crushing defeat in Hanoi, and Liu Yuan lost trust in him.

Zhao Gu's Hun army is Liu Yuan's descendants, that is Liu Yuan must be saved no matter how much price he pays, and these miscellaneous soldiers of Qi Wannian, Liu Yuan naturally did not take it to heart, if it can be saved, Liu Yuan will also be saved, but the problem is that Qi Wannian's men and horses were intercepted by the Jin army, if you want to rescue it, Liu Yuan doesn't know how much price to pay, use the lives of the Huns to exchange the lives of these miscellaneous Hu, Liu Yuan is not so selfless, Qi Wannian and others were abandoned, it is reasonable.

Liu Yuan watched the Jin army busy besieging Qi Wannian's department, which undoubtedly gave him a good opportunity to get out of the battle, and he decisively ordered the Xiongnu army to retreat north and disengage from the Jin army.

Yanghu locked the target in the encirclement of Qi Wannian, Liu Yuan gave up the rescue, took the initiative to evacuate to the north, Yanghu is naturally more satisfied, this time Qi Wannian's more than 20,000 people have become fish in the net, there is no chance to escape, as for Liu Yuan's Hun army, Yanghu does not have enough troops to deal with it at this time, so he naturally cares about it flawlessly and lets him go.

Qi Wannian, in despair, chose to surrender, which was somewhat unexpected by Yanghu, but of course Yanghu was happy to be able to surrender without fighting.

After absorbing Qi Wannian's men and horses and occupying Gaodu City, the battle of Gaodu came to an end, and the Jin army won a decisive victory.

Taking Gaodu is equivalent to seizing the gateway to Shangdang and even Bingzhou, creating conditions for the next recovery of the Jin army, Yanghu did not lie on the merit book to rest, after the battle of Gaodu, he reported to Luoyang on the one hand, on the other hand, gathered troops to advance north, pursuing Liu Yuan.

At this moment, Liu Yuan was on the way to Huguan's withdrawal, I heard that Yanghu led the army to chase, Liu Yuan was not too worried, from Gaodu to Huguan, there were many passes along the way, Liu Yuan only needed to send a small part of the army, it was enough to resist the pursuit of the Jin army, what really worried Liu Yuan was the Shu army that had occupied the Hanshan fortress and Tunliu City, which was a roadblock for him to return to Huguan.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

After taking Tunliu, Liu Yin's next offensive target is, of course, Huguan, which is the county seat of Shangdang and the center of Shangdang.

However, Huguan is guarded by 20,000 horses led by Liu Jing, the king of Lu, the right of the Huns, and it is not easy to take it. Just when Liu Yin was planning how to capture Huguan, the news came from the southern front that Liu Yuan had abandoned Gaodu and returned to Huguan.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yuan was so decisive, as soon as he heard that the Shu army had captured the Hanshan Fortress and the city of Tunliu County, he actually abandoned the important town of Gaodu and returned to Huguan.

According to intelligence, Liu Yuan lost nearly 30,000 horses in the battle of Gaodu, most of which were lost when evacuating Gaodu, and Liu Yuanning could use the cost of losing one-third of his troops to forcibly return to Huguan, which shows the importance of Huguan to Liu Yuan.

Although Liu Yuan lost 30,000 people, he still had an army of 60,000 after all, more than twice the number of the Shu army, if Liu Yin went to attack Huguan at this time, it was likely to fall into the point of being attacked by the Huns before and after, so Liu Yin also decisively gave up the plan to attack Huguan.

But not playing the pot pass does not mean that Liu Yin will do nothing, although with the current strength, it is not realistic to ambush Liu Yuan halfway, but to create a little trouble for Liu Yuan, so that his return road is not smooth, Liu Yin can still do it.

There are two ways to return to Huguan from Gaodu, one is to go through the eldest son and Tunliu to Huguan, and now Tunliu is under the control of the Shu army, it is obvious that Liu Yuan will not choose this road, the only possibility is to choose the road to the east, from the Hyun family to the north through the Huguan Pass back to Huguan.

If Liu Yin wants to cause some trouble for Liu Yuan on this road, Huguan is undoubtedly the most suitable place.

Huguan is located in the south of Huguan County sixty or seventy miles, the two peaks are sandwiched and the middle is empty, the cliff path is dangerous, the shape is like the mouth of the pot, so it is called Huguankou, it is the place of military key points of danger and resistance, Huguan County is also named because of this. Li Yan, a poet of the Jin Dynasty, praised the Hukou Pass in his poem "Luzhou Xingsheng" and said: "The east welcomes the mountains at the mouth of the Hukou, and swallows the Languang purple and green." Cutting jade is far away, and the halo is lightly brushed against the eyebrows. Five dragons flew to Songshan Lao, and the hustle and bustle of Wanjing was in the middle of the month. Tourists wake up with dusty eyes, who is the fairy to detain the entrance?"

Huguan is the southeast pass of the whole Shangdang Basin, the geographical location is still important, when Cao Cao pacified and merged the state, Gao Gan had sent troops to garrison Huguankou, Cao Cao sent the general Lejin and Li Dian to attack, failed to overcome, and later Cao Cao personally led the army out of Yecheng, walked the sheep intestine Ban, used a deception to surrender the meter, only to break through the Huguan, defeated Gao Gan, and finally pacified the state.

During the Wuhu Rebellion, Huguan was the key point of contention between Jin and Hu, and Liu Yuan captured Huguan, and finally controlled the entire Shangdang, laying the foundation for enterprising Luoyang.

But today, I am afraid that even Liu Yuan himself has never realized that this time he defeated Gaodu and walked through the pot pass, which is very different from him in history.

Such a dangerous battle is the most ideal place for ambush warfare, but Liu Yin did not plan to completely block Liu Yuan at Huguan, there are two main reasons, first, the strength of the Shu army is not enough to support such a large ambush war, if you want to eat Liu Yuan's 60,000 horses, it is far from enough to rely on the current 30,000 troops of the Shu army; Secondly, Huguan Pass is close to Huguan County, if Liu Jing hears the news that Liu Yuan is in distress, he will definitely send troops to rescue, Liu Yin does not want to be attacked by the Huns before and after.

However, it is not a bad idea to set up an ambush at the Hukou Pass and hit the Hun army that has fled here, and it can also make Liu Yuan understand that the current Shangdang is far from the time for the Huns to cover the sky with one hand. (To be continued.) )
