The western border of Wuwei County, on the banks of the Qingyuan River.

Li Li personally led more than 22,000 cavalry, marched for a day and night, arrived at the east bank of the Qingyuan River in the evening, and set up camp.

In this westward expedition, Li Li recruited the Tiger Roar Battalion, the Longxiang Battalion, the Wuwei Battalion and the Jin Yiwei Four Battalions to march out on the expedition, leaving the Qinglong Battalion, the Pegasus Battalion and the Foot Battalion in Guzang City and garrisoning all passes in the county.

The vanguard commander of the front army of the army is still Huan Fei, Li Li personally led the Chinese army Longxiang Battalion and Jin Yiwei, and the Wuwei Battalion as the rear army to escort the ordnance baggage.

The Qingyuan River is not a big river, the river is only five zhang wide, and it coincides with the year of great drought, the river barely submerges the knees, and there is no obstacle to the cavalry rush, and it is completely possible to cross the river on horseback.

In addition, the Qingyuan River itself is not a fixed river, and in flood years, the river is diverted and the name of the river changes accordingly. The current Qingyuan River is the name taken by Zhangye Qianghu.

The terrain of the five western counties west of the Qingyuan River is slightly different from that of the hinterland of Liangzhou, which is located on a plateau, crisscrossed by mountains, hills and high mountains, and bordered by deserts in the northwest.

Half a month ago, among the five counties in the western part of Liangzhou, only Zhangye County was still in the hands of the Han Chinese, and the other counties were occupied by Qianghu.

However, in half a month, the situation took a sharp turn, and Zhangye County was captured by the Xiutu tribe entrenched in the territory of Zhangye's vassal country.

So far, the five counties of Zhangye County, Zhangye Subject, Juyan Subject, Jiuquan and Dunhuang in the west of Liangzhou have all fallen into barbarian territory. Occupied by the Xiaoyue clan, the Qiang Xiutu tribe, and the remnant tribes of the Northern Xiongnu, hundreds of thousands of Han people became barbarian slaves and were enslaved.

The Xiutu tribe that invaded Zhangye and Koubian Wuwei this time was originally a descendant of Dangqiang, and there were only more than 10,000 people who controlled the strings more than ten years ago, and the whole clan was less than 50,000 people.

Before the Xiliang Rebellion, the Xiutu tribe gathered in the area of Xiutu County and Zhangye subject country under the rule of Wuwei County, and the Xiutu tribe was also named because it flourished in the Xiutu wasteland.

After the outbreak of the Liangzhou Rebellion, the Hutu tribe did not participate in the Qiang rebellion because they were in a corner, but wantonly gathered the Qiang people scattered in small tribes and defeated armies, and plundered tens of thousands of Han people.

After the end of the rebellion, the Hutu tribe took the initiative to avoid its edge for fear of encroachment by other large tribes, evacuated the area of the Hutu wasteland, and moved to Zhangye.

As a result, the Xiutu wasteland was completely deserted, and the once prosperous Xiutu city was in dilapidation, and it was not until Li Li recovered the Wuwei counties that it gradually regained its vitality.

The Xiutu tribe that moved to Zhangye's subordinate country has been recuperating for many years, and the strength of the tribe has developed and grown in a blowout.

Now the Xiutu tribe has become the third largest tribe among the five major Qiang tribes in Liangzhou, second only to Longxi Qiang and Jincheng Qiang, and more than Xianlingqiang entrenched in Beidi County, with more than 30,000 households, a population of more than 100,000, and more than 50,000 people in the clan. In addition, the tribe also has more than 100,000 Han slaves, and the tribe has gradually become stronger, faintly becoming the most powerful tribe in the five counties in the west of Liangzhou.

During the two years when Dong Zhuo was in charge of the dynasty, the situation in Liangzhou was delicate, and many princes were divided and confronted each other. The five counties in the west seemed to be independent of Liangzhou, and the barbarians were rampant, encroaching on the counties. However, during this period, there were no radical moves among the various barbarian tribes, and they all accumulated strength to wait for the times to change.

Four months ago, Li Li took office as the Taishou of Wuwei, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves, causing the delicate situation in Liangzhou to be shattered in an instant, and wars broke out frequently.

In the midst of the fierce battles between Li Li's army and Han Sui, Ma Teng and the Babu people, the Xiutu tribe, which had been secretly developing the strength of the tribe, took advantage of the situation and swept the entire territory of Zhangye's subject country in only two months.

Immediately, taking advantage of the battle between Li Li and Han Ma's army at Dongshan Pass, the Hutu tribe once again raised troops to attack Zhangye County. In one fell swoop, he captured Zhangye City, defeated several tribes of the Xiaoyue clan, Shili, and pocketed the entire county of Zhangye.

Under the successive victories, the Xiutu king of the Xiutu tribe was ambitious and high-spirited, trying to send troops to annex Wuwei County in one fell swoop, cut off Liangzhou, and cut off the six western counties to form a country of its own.

Once Wuwei County is occupied, it means that the Xiutu tribe will occupy the western half of Liangzhou, and then only need to send troops to exterminate Jiuquan, Juyan and other tribes in Dunhuang County, they can occupy most of Liangzhou, and even defeat Han Sui and Ma Teng, unify the Qiang tribes of Liangzhou, threaten Jingzhao Chang'an, and look at the Central Plains.

As for Li Li, who occupied Wuwei County, Hutu Wang Dian Tang did not take him seriously, let alone fear Han Sui and Ma Teng and other Xiliang princes.

In the eyes of Dian Dang, the warriors of the Xiutu tribe are invincible and invincible, and they can sweep the land of Zhangye vassal country and Zhangye County in just three months, so why not be afraid of the Xiliang princes.

Today's Hutu King Dian Dang is arrogant, and he regards the princes of Liangzhou as nothing and looks down on the world.

··················

Thirty miles away on the west bank of the Qingyuan River, in Huangshaling, there are now 15,000 troops led by Dian Zhen, the prince of Xiutu, and 30,000 troops led by King Xiutu himself.

Dian Zhen is the eldest son of Dian Dang, the king of Hutu, and the prince of the Hutu tribe, who is brave and good at fighting.

In the attack on Zhangye County, he led the front army to attack the city all the way, and he was unstoppable.

This time to send troops to Wuwei County, Dian Zhen still led the front army to take the lead in sending troops, traveling 300 miles a day, and rushing to attack the Wuwei border.

However, now that Wuwei County is in front of him, Dian Zhen has set up camp on the west bank of the Qingyuan River and has stopped moving for two consecutive days.

It was these two days that made Wuwei Taishou Li Li quickly mobilize war horses, run overnight, and come to Qingyuan River to resist Hugh Tu's iron cavalry.

On the west bank of the Qingyuan River, the camp was slaughtered.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the prince of Hutu Dian Zhen and the deputy marshal Dian Wufang are arguing fiercely, and the topic of the quarrel is whether to withdraw the army.

Dian Wufang is Dian Zhen's half-sister, and she is also the deputy commander of the former army, second only to Dian Zhen.

It stands to reason that there is no need for the brother and sister to quarrel.

Dian Zhen is the eldest prince of the Hutu tribe, and the other younger brothers are still young and pose no threat to his status as crown prince. Although Dian Wuflaw is the former deputy marshal of the army, he is a female stream after all, and he is not qualified to take over the throne at all.

What's more, Dian Zhen is still her brother, and her sister obeys her brother's words, which is a matter of course.

So why should the two quarrel?

However, this is not the case.

Dian Wufang is not an ordinary person, her status and prestige in the Xiutu tribe are not inferior to that of Prince Dian Zhen. Whether it is martial arts or strategy, she is not inferior to her brother Dian Zhen, or even surpassed. It's just because she is a female streamer, and she was born to a blonde-haired and blue-eyed servant girl in the Western Regions, so her reputation is not obvious. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be nothing to do with the eldest prince of Dian Zhen, and the person who leads the army will definitely be her, not Dian Zhen.

In front of the handsome position, Dian Zhen looked at his sister Dian Wufang, who was standing in front of him and was as tall as himself, and said helplessly: "Flawless, my good sister, my father will lead the army to the camp tomorrow, and our army has stayed here for a few days, has been stagnant, and has not launched any offensive. Once your father is guilty, how do you ask your brother to explain to your father?

Do you want me to report to my father that Wuwei Taishou Li Li has defeated the combined forces of Han Sui, Ma Teng and others, so I dare not order the army to attack and urge my father to withdraw his troops immediately? ”

"Why not?" Dian Wufang asked rhetorically.

Dian Zhen was stunned when he heard this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, his expression was displeased, and he said gloomily: "Flawless, this time I sent troops to martial arts, my father's confidence is high, and he is determined to win." However, you let your brother withdraw from the army, and he was cowardly before fighting, this is the way to rebel against the army, and how to lead the troops to fight for his brother in the future.

When Li Li's army first arrived at Qingyuan River, its foothold was not stable, so I intended to lead the army to attack Li Li's camp tonight. If you don't go with me, you can stay in the camp, and I will personally lead the troops to attack at night!" ”

"If my brother insists on attacking the camp of the Wuwei Army at night, my younger sister will not stop it. It's just that Li Li's army is stationed on the east and west banks of the Qingyuan River, the big camp is on the east bank, and there is a front army of 5,000 soldiers on the west bank. If the elder brother wants to attack the camp overnight, he needs to bypass Li Li's front army, cross the Qingyuan River, and directly take the camp of Li Li's central army, which may be successful.

The little sister will not stand idly by, I will lead 3,000 troops to meet my brother and block the front army under Li Li for you, so as not to block the back road by his front army after you sneak attack Li Li's camp, and suffer the enemy on your back. ”

Seeing that his brother Dian was truly determined, Dian Wufang reached out and brushed the flowing golden hair that covered half of his face, revealing his own face.

Under the tung oil lamp, Yunnan is flawless, and she is a beautiful woman in the Western Regions with blonde hair and blue eyes like her biological mother, a fair complexion, and a tall posture.

But seeing that she is full of long golden hair, more than eight feet tall, that is, about 1.85 meters, and her skin is as white as jade, which is completely different from the complexion of the Han people, this is a real fair-skinned beauty. The forehead is as white as mutton fat, the eyebrows are curved like the moon, the eyelashes are picturesque, and a pair of big eyes are as blue and deep as the sea, clear and intriguing. The bridge of the nose is straight like a knife, the lips are slightly thick, delicate red, the teeth are lightly moved, the style is infinite, and the sex appeal and temptation are abrupt. The neck is snow-white, Zeze is shining, and a string of red and blue agate necklaces are inlaid between the beautiful collarbones, such as gemstones embellished with white jade gelatin, which complement each other, and more and more highlight this charming and beautiful face.

Dian Flawless has a tall posture, a gorgeous Luo skirt attached to the delicate body, slightly weak shoulders, slender arms, and soft and agile fingers. In front of the chest, a pair of dazzling and proud huge peaks, standing proudly, rising out of the sky, supporting two round and upright huge peaks, the peaks are symmetrical, the twin peaks are born in a bottomless deep stream, and the beautiful scenery is all in the abyss canyon. The twin peaks are shining, gorgeous and mysterious; The scenery of the deep gorge is dark and dazzling, which makes people fascinated and picturesque.

The flawless twin peaks of Yunnan are proud, but the waist is slender, which is in stark contrast to the broad shoulders, one wide and the other narrow, which is extremely polarized. In the backdrop of the shape-shaped Luo skirt, the small waist is like a snake dancing, and the figure is soft and eye-catching.

However, the small waist is just a scenery in her figure, and the grand scenery is still under the slender waist.

The flawless hip bones are very wide, the lower abdomen is slightly concave, and the buttocks are extremely straight, like a round hill with bumps and upturns. This is a real posterior buttocks curvature, and the pubic symphysis is significantly different from that of Han women, which belongs to the posterior pelvic curl, not the woman's buttocks are plump and appear to be stiff. However, her amazing buttocks, round shape, convex but not abrupt, semi-circular arc, graceful but plump, very visually impactful, inducing infinite reverie, fascinated, lingering. Her legs are slender and straight, standing slim, supporting her proud posture and complementing her peerless appearance.

Born in troubled times, the beauty is flawless, glamorous, blooming in the barbarians of the Western Regions, leaving behind and independent, like a bright pearl inlaid on the ancient road of the Western Regions, beautifying the starry sky and rendering half of Liangzhou.
