Three days later, Ling Feng hurried back to report to the plateau that Jiang Huanwu's party had indeed found a temporary camp for the Xiongnu on the edge of Zhujianze. And at this time, the Hun army gathered six or seven thousand men and horses, and was rushing over on this side of the plateau, as if to avenge the last Hun army that was defeated by the plateau. At this time, Jiang Huanwu was leading people to follow the Xiongnu army, continuing to closely monitor the movements of the Xiongnu, and sent Ling Feng to rush back with two people to report to the plateau. According to the speed of the march of the Hun army, there should be another day.

The plateau originally wanted to attack the Xiongnu, and now the Xiongnu army took the initiative to find the door, of course the plateau will not let go, and at this time the Yanmen army stationed in Yanmen County, as well as the army brought by the plateau from Dai County, have also rushed to join the plateau and Yuan Xuan, in addition to the soldiers killed and wounded in the last battle, now a total of more than 17,000 people are now concentrated, which is about three times that of the Xiongnu army in terms of strength, so it is fully equipped with the strength to encircle and annihilate this Xiongnu army. And now that the village chiefs of each village have not left, it is just right to show the strength of the Wu'an Army in front of these village chiefs.

So the plateau was also immediately arranged, first sent Ling Feng and others to continue to monitor the movement of the Xiongnu army, every other hour, must report to themselves the movement of the Xiongnu army, and at the same time ordered Yuan Xuan to send two thousand cavalry from the Yanmen army to meet the Xiongnu army, but this battle was defeated and not allowed to win, and the Xiongnu army was led to the edge of the village.

At the same time, Gao Yuan asked Wei Zhao to buy all the horses, cattle, sheep and livestock in the village, place them in the open space in front of the village, lure the Xiongnu army to be fooled, and arrange some villagers to graze, once they found that the Xiongnu army was coming, they immediately threw away all the horses, cattle, sheep and livestock, fled back to the village, and the rest of the matter was handed over to the Wu'an army to deal with.

Wei Zhao listened, didn't say a word, immediately went back to the village and ordered, all the cattle and sheep in the village were driven out, a total of more than 200 horses, more than 300 cattle, and more than 10,000 sheep. In addition, Wei Zhao also sent more than 100 villagers to take care of the livestock, and at the request of Gao Yuan, he also arranged for some women and children. Because the residents in this area were greatly affected by Hu Feng, there were many women and young children who were also able to ride horses, and then Gao Yuan ordered that the rest of the army lay in ambush around the village, and he and Li Yinghong personally led a thousand cavalry troops to hide in the village, on the one hand, because this ambush of the Xiongnu was centered on the village, and on the other hand, it was also to stabilize the hearts of the people in the village.

After the distribution was completed, the armies of the Wu'an Army immediately set up ambushes, Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong entered the village again, and in less than an hour, the army of the Wu'an Army stationed at the edge of the village scattered and disappeared without a trace. And Wei Wei also vacated his house for Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong to live in, and used it as the temporary headquarters of this operation.

Gao Yuan spread the map on the table, listened to the reports of the special operations soldiers, and marked the positions of the Xiongnu army on the map one by one, and then adjusted his own deployment, while Li Yinghong was wiping his weapons and eager to try. Because since he entered the Daijun, Li Yinghong has never fought again, this battle against Yanguo, Li Yinghong was left by the plateau to sit in Daijun, although there was also an incident of Haoqiang rebellion, but this incident did not last too long, and in the process of quelling the Haoqiang rebellion, Li Yinghong mainly sat in command in an all-round way, and had no chance to fight.

This time, I came out with the plateau to look for it, but I didn't expect to meet the Huns in Yanmen, and Li Yinghong finally waited for the opportunity to fight, so he naturally wanted to have a good kill.

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――― Dividing Line―――――――― the chief general of this Xiongnu army is called Karun, and he holds the position of the left leader in the Xiongnu.

According to the head of the Xiongnu official positions set up by the head of the Mandan, in the following of the single, set up the left and right virtuous kings, generally by the immediate family of Shan Yu, and then the following are the left and right Gu Li Wang, the left and right generals, the left and right captains, the left and right big households, the left and right bone marquis, and then the thousand commanders, centurions, ten commanders, etc. Dadanghu is equivalent to a middle- and high-ranking official in the Xiongnu tribe.

This time, Karun followed the right Xianwang Tousu to the south to camp in Yinshan, and then led more than 10,000 Hun soldiers to camp in the vicinity of Jianze under the order of Tousu, and then divided the troops to attack and plunder in the area around Yanmen Pass. At this time, more than 15,000 people, more than 100,000 cattle, sheep and livestock, as well as a large amount of grain, salt, cloth, gold, copper coins, and so on, had been captured. Karun was also very satisfied, because he also enriched his own pockets from this, and made a lot of money, and when he returned to the Xiongnu tribe, his family's wealth could expand several times.

However, the remnants of the Hun army that was attacked by the plateau fled, and Karun was also shocked, because this was a Hun army of more than 3,000 people, and only less than 500 people were left to return. How many people are on the other side.

And the soldiers who fled back did not know what army they were fighting against, because the Wu'an army did not have the flag of the country, and the number of people on the other side was even more numerous, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. It also left Karun confused and overwhelmed.

But at this moment, a Hun merchant recommended a person who knew the inside of Yanmen County to Karun, which made Karun understand a lot of things, it turned out that Li Mu was indeed dead, and even Zhao was destroyed by Qin, and now stationed in Daijun is a little remnant of Zhao State, and the leader is Li Mu's son-in-law, who is not very old, only in his twenties, because he has to resist the attack of the Qin army with all his might, so now the garrison of Daijun, Yanmen, and Yunzhong County is very empty, as long as the army is dispatched, not only can he return with a full load, And it can also capture Yanmen, Daijun and other places.

Of course, this person is Zhao Xin, the fish that slipped through the net of the powerful forces of Daijun. After escaping from Daijun, Zhao Xin crossed the Great Wall and fled into the grasslands. found a few Hun merchants who had traded with him in the past, and with the skills he had experienced during this period of time, as well as the friendships he had established before, he moved these Hun merchants to stay among the Huns. In the transaction between the Xiongnu merchants and the border people, Zhao Xin also helped the Xiongnu merchants negotiate prices, inspect goods, and so on.

Because Zhao Xin often traded with the Xiongnu merchants in the past, he was very familiar with the situation on both sides, and he was able to speak well, so he also helped the Xiongnu merchants win a lot of benefits, and also won the trust of the Xiongnu merchants, not only gained a foothold in the Xiongnu, but also accumulated some property, and planned to slowly look for opportunities to contact the high-level of the Xiongnu, saying that the Xiongnu army would attack Daijun.

But before Zhao Xin could take action, at this time, the Xiongnu army had already plundered south, and Zhao Xin couldn't help but be surprised and happy, so he secretly sneaked back to Daijun to inquire about the news, only to know that the plateau had gone to Yanmen to inspect. Zhao Xin immediately realized that this was a great opportunity, because he knew that the Wu'an army had the tightest defense in Daijun, and Yanmen was relatively empty, if he could take advantage of this opportunity to say that the Xiongnu would send a large army to attack Yanmen County, maybe he would be able to rob and kill the plateau and avenge his whole family.

So Zhao Xin immediately hurried back to the grassland, found the Hun merchants, and asked them to introduce him to the Xiongnu lords.

In fact, the situation of Daijun and Zhao State, Karun Tong Guò Hun merchants also generally understand a little, but the Hun merchants are also hearsay, with false rumors, all kinds of statements, and there are many contradictions with each other, so Karun can't figure out which ones are true and which are false, and Zhao Xin's statement corresponds to each other, methodical, logically rigorous, and very credible.

Confirming that Li Mu was dead, Karun was also greatly relieved, his generation of Huns, whether they participated in the Battle of Yanmen that year or not, Li Mu was a huge pressure in their hearts, and learning that Li Mu was really dead, it was indeed a heavy threat to the Huns. Although Gao Yuan is Li Mu's son-in-law, he is too young after all, and Karun does not take Gao Yuan to heart.

Therefore, Karun said: "Do you say that the plateau is in Yanmen County now?" ”

Zhao Xin hurriedly said: "Yes, big boss, now the plateau is patrolling Yanmen County, the garrison of Yanmen County is very empty, if you can ask King Youxian to lead the army south at this time, attack Yanmen County, you will definitely be able to seize the plateau, and then the army of the Huns can occupy Yanmen County, and then take Yanmen County as the basis, go south, you can plunder countless rich people and cattle and sheep, so this is a rare opportunity." ”

Karun listened, stroked the thin beard on his chin, and muttered.

And Zhao Xin said: "Not to mention far away, as long as you seize the plateau, you can take the plateau as a hostage, and ask Daijun to redeem people with a lot of wealth, grain, gold, and livestock, which is also very beneficial to the Xiongnu." ”

Karun nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but King Youxian is now stationed in Yinshan, even if he sends someone to inform him now, when he leads a large group of men and horses, it will take ten days, and by then, Gao Yuan may have already left Yanmen County." ”

Zhao Xin hurriedly said: "This is also easy to do, as long as you ask the big boss to give an order, divide the Xiongnu army under your command into a number of small forces, each of about 1,000 people, in the area around Yanmen County to harass and plunder, and do not fight head-on with the army of the plateau, so that you can loot the population and property, and you can also drag the plateau and wait for the arrival of the army of the right virtuous king." ”

When Karun heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Don't be so troublesome, now I still have six or seven thousand men here, which is enough to defeat the plateau." ”
