The second year of Tianquan, March.
Northern part of Yongzhou.
On an ordinary hillside, the snow has melted, and under the sunlight, small grasses are growing, and the breath of spring is permeating the whole land.
The army went north for several days, marched to this place, set up camp, camped for several miles, set up a battle flag flying in the wind, on the battle flag is a war tiger with a pair of wings, like a flying tiger in the sky, extremely powerful.
This is the main force of the Flying Tiger Legion.
At the hill, the tall and burly body of Lu Bu, the commander of the Flying Tiger Legion, stood in the wind, he held the telescope in both hands, and looked at the surrounding terrain carefully: "Guangyuan, how far are we from Beizhou?"
"There should still be a little distance, if we step up the march, we can reach Beizhou in three days" Chief of Staff Shi Tao stood beside him and replied respectfully.
"Northstate casualties are high" "Two more cities were breached, and the people suffered heavy casualties, with thousands of dead and wounded" "Blood feud must be avenged with blood" Lu Bu's voice had a hint of indifferent killing intent: "Where is Zhang Xiu's Eighth Army?"
"I've rushed to Dingyang" "He left Gusha Mountain" Lu Bu frowned: "Didn't I ask him to wait any longer, the strength of his army, and he suffered a lot of damage before, facing the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Huns, it is undoubtedly a mantis arm blocking the car" "There are too many killings in Beizhou caused by the Hun army, they can't bear it, and according to the news, the sixteenth army of the War Elephant Legion has gone north" "That's fine" Lu Bu's heart calmed down: "The two armies combined, even if they can't stop it, they can support it for a few days and hold out until our main force arrives."
"Newspaper" "Come up" Shi Tao looked at the battle report handed over by a personal guard in his hand, his face changed drastically, he stepped forward in a low voice, and reported: "Commander, Jinyiwei just came with a not very good news."
"Say," Lu Bu's heart burst out.
"Yanzhou is fighting one step ahead of Beizhou" "What's the matter" Lu Bu glared angrily: "Didn't you say that Liu Bao would be punished first, and he was extinguishing the Kitchen Spring?"
"The Xianbei people are reversed" Shi Tao said: "In order to prevent the expansion of the Xianbei rebellion, Commander Zhao Yun sent troops first, and the main force went north, and at the same time sent troops to the Xiongnu in the northwest and Xianbei in the northeast, which is estimated to be very difficult."
"Xianbei people" A cold glow bloomed in Lu Bu's pupils: "Aren't the Xianbei people already rooted in my Great Wu Territory, why would they suddenly turn against us?"
"It's not Youzhou Xianbei, it's the former Bingzhou Xianbei" "Bingzhou Xianbei" Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard this, this is not surprising, the Xianbei tribe on the ground of Youzhou has long surrendered to the Great Wu Imperial Court, and their main force of the army composed of young and strong people has been integrated into the Guanzhong Army, and the Xianbei soldiers led by Kebineng are now fighting for the Great Wu Dynasty in the Western Regions, and it is impossible to say the opposite.
If it is Xianbei and the state, it is reasonable.
In the past, the Xianbei tribe had two major tribes, one was Kebineng in Youzhou, and the other was Budugen in Bingzhou.
"Bu Dugen is not right, he is dead, who is the leader" Lu Bu asked suspiciously.
"It's Orohan" "It turned out to be him" When Lu Bu heard this, a contemptuous smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "In the past, when I was still in the state, I fought with countless brave men of the Xiongnu Xianbei, and countless people died under my halberd, but only this fang is the most shameless, greedy for life and afraid of death."
"But now he has become a big problem for us" Shi Tao said: "If you can't solve him as soon as possible, the Blood Wolf Legion will face the double attack of the Xianbei Huns, and once the situation expands, it will inevitably shake the Xianbei tribes in the Youzhou area, they are all Xianbei people, it's hard to say what their attitude is."
"Then we have to do it quickly" Lu Bu's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Where has the War Elephant Legion gone now?"
"It is estimated that it is still in Liangzhou" "You send someone to tell Xu Sheng, let him quickly lead the main force north, be sure to join me in Beizhou within ten days, only when our two major armies are encircled, can we completely annihilate Liu Bao's 100,000 iron cavalry" Encircling and suppressing the cavalry is a very troublesome thing, with the main force of the Flying Tiger Legion now, it can be defeated, but it may not be able to encircle and kill Liu Bao.
If the War Elephant Legion joins, it will definitely allow Liu Bao to stay in Beizhou completely.
Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Bao must die, this fang killed so many of my soldiers, I can't keep him, after we solve Liu Bao as soon as possible, we will unite our forces and prepare to encircle and suppress the Xiongnu royal court, this time I want to uproot the Xiongnu tribe."
In this battle, the Wu army had used all the strength of nearly four legions, and they not only wanted to defeat the Xiongnu, but also wanted to uproot the Xiongnu tribe from the steppe.
The Xianbei tribe has completely surrendered to the Great Wu Dynasty.
Even if there is a rebellion this time, it is just a kitten and a small fish, and most of the Xianbei people have already surrendered to the imperial banner of Dawu.
So now around the territory of the Central Plains, the only ones who can pose a threat to the Great Wu court are probably the Xiongnu tribes.
For a long time, the war between the Central Plains and the grasslands has very ceased.
The battle of the steppe peoples is to gather and fight, scatter and flee.
Even if the Central Plains won the war, they would quickly flee into the prairie, and then wait for decades to regain power, and then they would make a comeback.
The imperial court did not want the Xiongnu to resurgence decades later.
So this time the Military Aircraft Department has given a death order.
The Xiongnu tribes must either completely surrender or completely exterminate the tribe, otherwise this war will not end.
"Commander, it shouldn't be difficult for us to destroy the Southern Xiongnu, the difficulty is in the Northern Xiongnu, if the Northern Xiongnu's forces are mixed in, I'm afraid it will be a bloody battle" Shi Tao said.
The Xiongnu tribe was already divided during the Han Dynasty.
The Southern Xiongnu survived in the northwestern grasslands, and the Northern Xiongnu had migrated to the north and entered the northern part of the Kangju State of Mongolia and the Western Regions.
The Southern Xiongnu were at war with the Central Plains all the year round, and their strength was weakening, and they were not very strong.
However, the Northern Xiongnu survived in a harsh environment, and the accumulated strength was not simple.
If the two Hun tribes were united, it would be difficult to deal with.
"The Northern Huns should not sit idly by, there is news that they have gone south" Lu Bu's tiger eyes were like rainbows, his fists were clenched, and his face was straight: "This is indeed a big trouble, but since we want to destroy the Huns, we will not ignore them, the Bashu army has advanced north, even if they don't come, we will go to them, Your Majesty once said that where there is sunshine, it is the territory of Dawu, and the world is not the king's land, how can they be exceptions" "The Bashu Army is planning to go deep into the prairie" "It's something that can't be helped" Lu Bu nodded and said: "Since we want to conquer the Xiongnu, it is inevitable to go deep into the grassland, and if we can't uproot their nests, we won't conquer the Xiongnu."
"But fighting in the savannah is not good for us" "Normal" Lu Bu nodded: "I'm also worried about this, now it depends on Chen Shuzhi's ability" "Commander Chen Zhi's cavalry is too small, I'm afraid he will suffer" "If he can't hold the soldiers and horses of the Northern Xiongnu, it is us who will suffer" Lu Bu smiled bitterly: "There will always be casualties in the war, if we want to conquer the Xiongnu, a thousand-year-old tribe, we must be prepared to pay the price, either he is injured or I am injured" Dunhuang Prefecture.
After receiving the military order from the military aircraft department, the Bashu army did not hesitate for too long, immediately withdrew its troops from Yumen Pass, marched from the west to the north, and began to march like a prairie, preparing to fight in depth.
"Where has the Eleventh Army gone?"
On the grassland, a marching team is like a long dragon, endless.

The main general, Chen Zhizheng, is in the middle position.
"Commander, the Eleventh Army should be thirty miles ahead of us" Fa Zhengyu reported: "At present, our scouts have not found any traces of the Northern Xiongnu army going south, but it will get colder and colder if they go north, and it is one of the stations of the Northern Xiongnu in the past 100 miles, which is equivalent to actively provoking the Northern Xiongnu."
"Jin Yiwei will not make mistakes in this kind of thing" Chen Zhi looked at the endless prairie around him, and said in a deep voice: "Since they have news that the Northern Xiongnu have sent troops south to join the Xiongnu, then the army of the Northern Xiongnu must have gone south, we didn't find it, the grassland is too big, and it is difficult for the scouts to find their traces, since they have gone south, there is no active provocation, sooner or later they will fight."
"Commander, if we go deeper, I'm afraid that our logistics line will not be secured," Fa Zheng reminded.
"Set up camp first" Chen Zhi thought about it, but slowed down the speed of the march.
"No" The generals took the orders and left.
For most of the day, a simple barracks was set up on the grassland.
"The prairie is too big, we can't go around aimlessly" In the simple camp, Chen Zhi looked at the somewhat rough grassland map, and finally his eyes fell on one of the positions, and said: "If we want to fight, we will fight here" "Commander, it's too far from here" Fa Zheng looked at the place where Chen Zhi was pointing, and smiled slightly bitterly: "From us to the north, there is at least a distance of hundreds of miles, our army of more than 100,000 people, hundreds of miles of attack, if we are not careful, we will collapse by ourselves."
"But you know very well that we can't play hide and seek with the Huns on the grassland, we can't catch them at all" Chen Zhi said: "Only by attacking and defending can we hold back the entire Northern Xiongnu forces" The task of the Bashu Army was to hold back the forces of the Northern Xiongnu, so that Lu Bu and Zhao Yun could better destroy the Southern Xiongnu.
But there were too many roads on the steppe to stop the Hun army from moving south.
If you want to hold back the Northern Xiongnu, you can only attack the base camp of the Northern Xiongnu and let them shrink their own forces.
"Wouldn't it be too risky?"
asked one of the commanders.
"Do you have any other solutions?"
Chen Zhi asked rhetorically.
The generals groaned for a moment, then shook their heads.
"Feint" Fa Zheng thought about it for a long time, and suddenly spit out two words.
"Feint" When the generals heard this, they were stunned for a moment, a little confused, and they didn't quite understand the meaning of Fazheng's words.
"Commander, we are still attacking the Northern Xiongnu garrison, but we don't need the main force to attack, we choose more than 10,000 light cavalry, go deep alone, and the troops are in the city, coercing them to wave their troops back to help."
Fa Zhengdao: "It is unrealistic for the main force to attack on a large scale, and if the hundreds of thousands of soldiers can't sustain themselves with food and drink, we will starve to death on the prairie."
"If you don't hurt them, just scare them, do you think the Northern Huns will take back their soldiers and horses" Chen Zhi thought for a while and asked.
"Definitely" Fa Zhengdao: "The Northern Xiongnu and the Southern Xiongnu have been separated for hundreds of years, and they don't have much feelings, this time they go south, it should be the Southern Xiongnu who promised a lot of things to the Northern Xiongnu, so as to lure them south, if they don't protect themselves, they will definitely protect themselves first" "Who can be the main general" "Gao Pei" "Good" Chen Zhi pondered for a long time before he made up his mind, as Fa Zheng said, it is unrealistic for the army to attack from afar, this is the best way, and said: "In this case, let Gao Pei lead 10,000 elite cavalry, advance to the north, and swagger into the Northern Xiongnu, but we must not relax here, we must fully intercept the southbound Xiongnu army, and must not let people and soldiers and horses cross Helan Mountain."
"Yes" The generals nodded respectfully and took the order.
Shuofang, Guangmu City.
This has become the base camp of the Xiongnu army, Hu Chuquan led more than 100,000 elite Xiongnu troops stationed here, the momentum is violent, sitting south to east, intending to swallow the Hetao in the northwest of the Central Plains.
Hu Chuquan is a stoic person.
In the past, he inherited the throne of the Khan, but he deliberately behaved ordinary, and even the authority of the Great Khan could not be controlled, and he connived at Liu Bao and abused his power, but many people were confused, including the people of the Great Wu Dynasty.
When he took down the right king of the Xiongnu to go to Bei, ate the Xiongnu warriors of the Beibei tribe, and obtained a large number of strategic weapons from the Wu army, his strength gradually grew, and began to show his fangs.
He has always had great ambitions and is bent on reviving the Xiongnu court.
This time he sent troops south, with Liu Bao as the vanguard, and learned from the Central Plains people's combination of vertical and horizontal, provoked the Xianbei tribe of Fuluohan in the east, and invited the Northern Xiongnu to go south in the north, and played a good hand of cards to the fullest.
"Great rivers and mountains, this will be the place of the Xiongnu royal court" Standing on Guangmu City, Hu Chuquan looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance, and shouted with some high spirits.
Many people thought that he was only raising troops to the south this time to plunder food and population, but only he knew that this time, he was going south, and he didn't plan to leave.
He will recover the land of the Loop.
In the land of Hetao, only after the Qin Dynasty was seized by Meng Tian, the Huns were completely driven out of this land.
This is the fertile territory lost by the ancestors, and it is the territory that belongs to the Xiongnu royal court.
He's going to take it back.
"The Great Khan" A middle-aged man wearing a black jade brocade robe walked up to the city wall and saluted respectfully to Hu Chuquan.
"Sir, look, is this country beautiful?"
Hu Chuquan was very polite to the middle-aged man.
"This will be the Great Khan's country" The middle-aged man in the black jade brocade robe said flatteringly.
"Hahaha" Hu Chuquan laughed proudly: "This time Ben Da Khan can go south smoothly, all depends on Mr. advice, if my Huns can get the Hetao, Ben Da Khan will never forget the merits of Mr."
"Great Khan Award" The middle-aged man in the ink jade brocade robe smiled lightly: "Good birds choose wood to perch, the Great Khan is the Allah of the Mandate of Heaven to revitalize the Xiongnu, I assist the Great Khan, but also conform to the Mandate of Heaven, Eastern Wu goes against the grain, it will not last long, the great cause of the Xiongnu can be determined" "Good" Hu Chuquan's tiger eyes were shining, and after cheering, he asked very humbly: "Sir, what should we do next?"
"Great Khan, since the Wu army has already sent troops, we need to face it head-on" The middle-aged man in the black jade brocade robe said: "If we can't defeat the Wu army, how can we successfully stay in the land of the Hetao?"
"Hmm" Hu Chuquan nodded in approval, but he was a little cautious: "But sir, the combat effectiveness of the Wu army is very strong, although I have absolute confidence in my Hun warriors, but if you want to defeat them, I'm afraid it will not be easy." t1706231537:
