The March sun of the grassland is shining, and the withered grass that has been sleeping for a winter is gradually waking up, glowing green, and the world is becoming vibrant.
Compared with the change of seasons, the mood of the Huns was still as cold as 39 days, and since the heavy defeat of Cao Cao in the western part of Youzhou in November last year, the Yuan army has completely gone downhill.
In that battle, Cao Cao dispatched more than 200,000 troops, including the most elite heavy cavalry, tiger and leopard cavalry, as well as almost all fierce generals such as Yingbu, Jia Fu, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Wang Yanzhang, Xia Luqi, and Pang De.
Cao Cao, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Fan Zeng and other strategists jointly planned, and finally expelled Temujin from Youzhou, pulled out the thorn inserted in his back, and was able to shift the center of gravity to the south and compete with the Eastern Han Dynasty for the Central Plains.
In this battle that was about the fate of the Xiongnu, Temujin almost lost a lot Including the Great Yuan Prince Tuolei, the number one general of the Yuan army, the mountain lion camel, and the Xianbei leader Murong Junju were all beheaded, the cavalry lost about 50,000, and all the traitor troops who took refuge were killed, those who fled, and those who defected.
Even Nurhachi and Xuanye's father and son wisely chose to part ways with Temujin and led their troops north to fend for themselves in the cold northeast.
Temujin was panicked like a lost dog, leading Murong Ke, Wang Baobao, Tan Daoji, and Han Yanshou to lead the 30,000 remnants of the defeated soldiers all the way to the west to retreat in the direction of Shengle, the capital city.
Cao Cao adopted Guo Jia's suggestion, sent Guo Ziyi as the main general, Cao Chun as the deputy general, led Cao Wenzhao, Pang De, Dong Ping and others, raised 40,000 cavalry, followed the footsteps of the Yuan army, pursued all the way, and strived to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Guo Ziyi led his troops to chase closely, regardless of the cold of winter and the Yuan army launched several fierce battles, relying on the strong suppression ability of the tiger and leopard cavalry, the panicked Hun cavalry won three battles, and the total number of Hun cavalry killed more than 5,000 people.
The Huns have always lived as nomads, living in the steppes without a fixed place and wandering around.
Therefore, their capital Shengle is just an inconspicuous small city, an earthen city made of adobe, and the scale is even inferior to the county seat of the Han region, so it has no value to hold.
While resisting the pursuit of Cao's army on the way to retreat, Temujin sent Wang Baobao to Shengle in advance, leading the old and weak women and children in the city and suburbs to brave the bitter cold wind, driving the cattle and sheep out of the city and wandering to the west in advance.
This world is too perverted, every prince is so powerful, and there is no spring in the vast grassland, which makes the mood of a generation of Tianjiao even colder than this winter.
When the weather reached the end of the month, which was also the coldest season of the year, many Cao soldiers suffered from the severe cold and frostbite.
Guo Ziyi had no choice but to order a temporary garrison in Shengle, where people went to the empty city, and after surviving three or nine days, he continued to pursue the defeated Huns.
The cold winter gave the Huns a chance to survive, which made Temujin especially grateful for the steppe winter.
Compared with Cao Bing from the Central Plains, the Huns who have lived on the grassland for generations are more resistant to frost, and when Cao Bing was forced to reluctantly enter Shengle City to recuperate, Temujin led about 30,000 remnants of the defeated soldiers, guarding more than 100,000 Huns, old and weak women and children, driving cattle, sheep and horses, and braving the biting cold wind to continue to wander westward.
Temujin knew that although Cao's army was temporarily stationed, his own side dragged his family and mouth, with more than 100,000 old and weak women and children, as well as cattle, sheep and horses, and must leave Shengle as soon as possible, and hide as far away as possible.
Otherwise, when the weather warms up, Cao Jun will definitely follow and catch up.
But day after day in the biting cold wind, these Hun people who have lived on the grassland for generations are still unbearable, but in seven or eight days, many people were frostbitten on their hands and feet and cheeks, and many elderly people and young children died one after another.
Since the flight, four or five hundred people have died in the howling cold winds, an average of seventy or eighty people a day.
Temujin had no choice but to order a slowdown in the pace of his escape, from walking 70 miles a day to about 50 miles a day.
Only after the morning hour, before the Shen time, which is equivalent to the period from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. before Liu Bian's crossing, he fled and set up camp in the rest of the day.
After walking for more than 20 days, the 100,000 Huns led by Temujin only left Shengle and fled about 1,700 miles.
Seeing that the weather was getting warmer, Guo Ziyi made a move and re-led more than 40,000 cavalry of the Cao army to follow and pursue, vowing to behead Temujin and return.
Getting farther and farther away from the Central Plains, the supply of grain and grass in the rear has been beyond the reach of the whip, and the daily diet of this Cao army has to follow the example of the Huns, eating horses and lambs every day.
After continuous campaigns, Cao Jun captured at least 70,000 or 80,000 lambs, and 30,000 or 40,000 horses.
By the end of the first month, the temperature had risen considerably, and Cao's cavalry pursued at a speed of 250 li a day, while Temujin also increased the speed of his march, from the previous 50 li per day to 80 li per day.
The two armies continued to chase on the grassland, and half a month later, Cao's army had pursued nearly 3,000 miles to the west, and it was only about 300 miles away from the fleeing Huns.
At the critical moment, Qiu Suli, the king of Qiang, led 20,000 Qiang soldiers to rescue the desperate Temujin once, and led the army to ambush the Cao army near the Cheshi division to rescue the Xiongnu.
After a scuffle, Cao's army suffered a setback for the first time and paid the price of losing more than 7,000 horsemen, but fortunately, it did not affect the vitality.
Guo Ziyi led his troops back a hundred miles to set up camp, treat the wounded soldiers, repair their armor, regroup, and wait for the opportunity to fight again.
Finally, the long-lost victory was achieved, and the morale of the Huns recovered slightly, but the rescue of the Qiang king Qiu Suli was killed by Cao Wenzhao with an arrow in the chaos.
The Qiang soldiers, who had low combat effectiveness, did not take advantage of it, and attacked left and right with the Hun cavalry, but still paid the price of killing 7,000 enemies and losing 10,000 themselves.
The Hun cavalry on the flanks suffered slightly lighter casualties, but they still lost more than 2,000 horsemen.
After the death of the Qiang king Qiu Suli, Temujin did not weep bitterly and be grateful to Dade, but took the opportunity to annex his subordinates, and carried the remaining more than 10,000 Qiang soldiers to flee westward with the Huns.
After suffering a defeat, Cao Jun did not dare to be careless, and after resting for three days, he left the wounded soldiers to recuperate.
Guo Ziyi, Cao Wenzhao, Pang De, Cao Chun and others led 35,000 cavalry to continue to follow and pursue Temujin.
Over the course of more than a month, the two armies stopped and stopped, fought and killed, and traveled more than 1,500 miles westward, penetrating deep into the territory of West Asia.
Temujin's troops and horses were again reduced to less than 30,000, and Cao's cavalry was also below 30,000 for the first time.
Pinching his fingers and calculating, it was already more than 6,000 miles away from the land of Wei, and Cao Junju moved his mind and began to feel war-weary, and another 800 miles ahead was about to enter the territory of the Resting Empire.
"Fight the last battle again, retire and return home" In the north wind of hunting, Guo Ziyi unsheathed his sword and gave the order for the last battle.
Guo Ziyi ordered Cao Wenzhao and Cao Chun to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to follow and pursue, erect more flags, lengthen the distance of the troops, and bluff.
He and Pang De led 8,000 elite soldiers to take the road around the flank of the Huns to attack, and after the battle started, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard cavalry to cover up and kill.
Late the next night, the battle curtain opened, Guo Ziyi and Pang De suddenly led 7,000 elite cavalry from the flank, and the Hun cavalry rushed to meet the battle.

"Kill, Capture, Capture Temujin" In the chaos of the army, Pang De's crotch under the white horse Shali Fei, a gold-backed mountain knife in the palm, in the Hun camp left and right rush, such as into a no-man's land, the oncoming people are all slashed under the horse.
"Dingdong Pound's Soaring Attribute Explosion, Strength 3, Command 3, Base Force 97, Mount Shali Fei 1, Current Force Rises to 101, Command Rate Rises to 89" "Kill, kill the dog, grab the head, go back to the country and ask for a reward from the King of Wei" Just when Guo Ziyi and Pang De led the strange soldiers to cover from the flank, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Chun also led a brigade of cavalry mainly from the rear to cover and attack.
Although the Huns had been prepared, they carried the old and weak, women and children, as well as horses, cattle and sheep, and needed to be dispersed and protected.
There is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey is called the king, there is no strong military general to suppress the formation, Pang De swept the horse and killed a happy one, left and right conflicts, and more than 100 Hun soldiers were killed in more than an hour.
In the chaotic army, he met a Timur with a Chinese name called "Wang Baobao", and there were three or four rounds of fighting, and he sold a flaw and cut off the horse, and took the head: "What a fool, what is the name is not good, it is called Wang Baobao Even if you call it a good baby, General Baima's big knife will not be merciful" "The one in front of him who is wearing a white coat and a gray mink fur hat and riding a white horse is Temujin," Cao Jun recognized Temujin among the rebels and reminded Pang De loudly.
"Haha, this is God to help me achieve great things" Pound was overjoyed, urging the horse to chase after him, "Where does Temujin go, leave the head" Temujin's guards tried their best to stop them, but they were slashed by Pound, and the blockers were invincible, and they saw that they were getting closer and closer to Temujin.
"Left and right, bring me a gun, today the Great Khan I will fight to the death in person" Temujin gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and motioned for his soldiers to bring their spears, and he wanted to fight Pound to the death in person.
A general with a height of seven feet and eight inches, wearing a white fur hat and a red cloak suddenly appeared in the oblique stab, about twenty-eight or nineteen years old, with a handsome appearance, holding a spear, and speaking fluent Chinese to stop Pang De: "General Wei will rest and hurt my lord, and the Great Yuan Concubine, Ma Muyi, is here."
Pang De immediately stabbed the knife and glanced at the enemy general: "Listening to your accent, it is clear that you are Han, why do you sell your lord for glory, sell your life for the Hun dog thief and rein in the precipice, spare you from death, otherwise I Pang Lingming will be ruthless under the knife" t1706231537:
