"Go into the basin behind that hillside and rest for half a day before marching.
"No" Xie Ai's current position was on the border of the alliance between the Tuoba Dynasty and the Rouran tribes, and he was ordered to lead 12,000 cavalry north, accompanied by thousands of peasants, who did their best to walk through the deserted areas along the way.
The Tuoba Dynasty is currently being invaded by the Han army led by Ran Min himself, and the Tuoba Dynasty army led by Tuoba Gu to deal with Ran Min, and most of the Tuoba Dynasty army is dragged in the grasslands of the southern region.
Xie Ai first entered the Hetao, walked the Yinshan Mountain Range from the direction of Jiuyuan, and then interspersed to the north to Junji Mountain, during which he passed through the narrow Fuyangju Mountain, and the north side of Junji Mountain was the Rouran Mountain Range, and then turned the road to the east.
This time, Xie Ai didn't want to do anything else when he went deep alone, that is, to learn from the former champion Hou, the difference is that Huo Quai's thousand-mile attack is against the emptiness of the Huns, and Xie Ai is running towards the alliance of kings.
The kings will meet at the old site of Wolf Juxu Mountain, and the Rouran Khan will definitely gather heavy troops there to show off his strength, and the kings who go to the alliance must also bring elite escort troops, you can imagine how difficult it should be to gnaw on the side of Wolf Juxu Mountain.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and are biased towards the tigers, Xie Ai's confidence is Ran Min's cooperation, as well as the reinforcements promised by Liu Yan.
The person who came up with the idea of carrying out this thousand-mile raid was Ran Min, according to him, the success of the matter was the great cause of capturing or killing multiple kings, and if it was messed up, it would not be possible to lose some troops slightly, and the risk could be ignored under the premise that the benefits were too great.
Of course, Ran Min will not say those words to anyone, Xie Ai led the army to set off on the oath, Ran Min personally rushed to the Hetao to boost morale, talking about the past and the present to mention those who have done things, and directly said that everyone who participated in the thousand-mile raid will be famous in history, in addition to fame, he will also get the benefits before departure.
Not to mention that now is the stage of the re-emergence of the Han people after a series of misery, and there will be no shortage of brave and adventurous people, who are told that if they can complete the task, they will lay the foundation of the Han empire, and history will be created by their own hands.
Xie Ai stood at the side of his horse, his eyes shining as the cavalry kept passing by his side.
Each cavalryman was three horses, two war horses and one pack horse, and carried rations that could last for seven days, in addition to the necessary military equipment.
Those rations were only needed to prevent people from getting separated and looking for the troops again, and every five days the troops would redistribute the rations for another seven days, and the soldiers lamented that the military was well prepared, and the generals who could understand the inside story were more and more in awe of their own king.
As the troops entered the basin, the Rangers who had been released returned to change shifts, surrounded by Rangers and scouts day and night.
Before leaving the army for military duties, the cavalry would hand over a broken green cloak-like camouflage from the robe, which was effective for increasing concealment.
There is no disguise to become a Hu person because it can't be disguised, such a large-scale army, there are no old and weak women and children in it, how can you not disguise yourself as a migrating tribe, and you will not look for trouble on the premise of being able to dodge, so you really have no choice but to do a job.
The grassland is very vast, the Hu people are destined not to be like the farming people, each tribe is far away from each other, and it takes two or three days to exchange news at the earliest, and there is nothing to do and they will not rush to each other's doors, that is why the former Huo Qubing can run thousands of miles without being discovered, is that in addition to the good reconnaissance, the tribes along the way have not been discovered in time, and they have long slipped away when they are discovered.
During Xie Ai's army to the north, there was no battle before entering the Rouran Mountains, according to the Xiongnu guides, it was a little uncertain to pass the Rouran Mountains, after all, the Xiongnu were not the Xiongnu in the Western Han Dynasty, and the Huns had not been to the area north of the Rouran Mountains for hundreds of years.
That's right, there were Xiongnu guides in the Han army, some had already defected to the Han State for planning, and there were also guides that Liu helped to find, and before the Han army broke through to the Rouran Mountains, the guides proved to be very reliable.
The Tuoba Dynasty army withdrew from Yanmen, and Ran Min led the army into the southern part of the Tuoba Dynasty, but the war in the southern part of the Tuoba Dynasty was only a kind of raid and disturbance war, and the real area where the war broke out was Shuozhou.
The battle in Shuozhou was presided over by Li Tan, and Dingxiang was still under siege, and the city that had been besieged for two months was a foul smell, and more than 200,000 people were either killed or struggling in the city when they broke through, and there should be 60,000 or 70,000 living people, of which 20,000 or 30,000 were on the Miyagi side.
No one knows how Shi Hu is recovering, it is a fact that the Longteng guards have been sticking to the palace city, and the Han side is not very interested in what Dingxiang palace looks like, as long as the Han army firmly surrounds Dingxiang to death, it is willing to do it for ten years.
The chief general who presided over the siege of Dingxiang was replaced by Zhang Wen, who was once Shi Hu's courtier, later served as the left general of the Ran clan Qin State, and is now a member of the Han State Lang General.
He commanded two standing armies and 170,000 county soldiers to besiege Dingxiang, but it was really just a siege, for the sake of insurance, he dug trenches and repaired earthen walls outside the city, and put out "Lao Tzu just don't go in, don't think about coming out."
Li Tan led the army into Shuozhou, before the Han army arrived, three of the seven Xiongnu announced that the cavalry responded, and the other three chose to continue to stand on the side of Shijiao, and the remaining one fled to the northwest into the border of Zhang's Liang Kingdom.
The Han army that advanced into Shuozhou was two Praetorian Guards, three standing armies and nearly 80,000 county soldiers, and Li Tan's offensive was very rapid, and at the beginning it was to invest in the Praetorian Guard in accordance with Liu Yan's direct instructions, regardless of losses and costs.
No one can stop the Praetorian Guard, they are an army that has never been afraid of death, no matter how bad the situation is, they will fight to the last man, and there will be no desertion.
Li Tan was actually quite surprised why he wanted such an elite army to fight regardless of losses, if he planned well, he could reduce his losses, but what Liu Yan wanted was to sweep, sweep at any cost, and what unpredictable risks would happen if he was slow down.
In fact, there was only one reason why Liu Yan wanted to sweep Shuozhou at any cost, and that was that the troops needed to be consumed before they could be re-recruited.
He rarely invested in the Praetorian Guard before, because he wanted to let those non-systematic Han troops grow up in blood and fire, and if he really fought repeatedly, he would take the Praetorian Guard as the main force, and the non-systematic Han army that lacked fighting would never grow.
If the country wants to be strong, it must not rely only on the system army, this Liu Yan understands in his heart.
Before Li Tan took over the attack on Shuozhou, Shi Xuan had already fled to the clouds to join the remnants of Shi Xuan.
Another prince of Shiqi, Shi Bin, failed to escape, and played hide and seek for nearly a month, and was later tied up by the Qiang and Di generals and sent to Li Kuang.
Before Shi Bin was captured, Tuoba Shi Yijian retreated, and the people under his command died, fled, and surrendered, and the people around him did not exceed 200, and more than half of them were Qiang and Di people.
He wanted to persevere to the end, but the people under his command were unwilling, and he didn't see any promises from Li Kuang, and the Qiang and Di people did it themselves in order to survive.
On the side of Murong Yanguo, Liu Yan personally arrived at the front line in Youzhou, and as the main force of the battle, he also joined the Praetorian Guard, and the rest of the troops became the starting point. is still the same sentence, as long as Liu Yan is willing to join the Praetorian Guard, no one can stop him, the Praetorian Guard has no feelings and no fear, they only know to accept Liu Yan's instructions to do things, if there is enough time for Liu Yan to recruit repeatedly, Liu Yan wants to conquer which place he can finally capture.
Liu Yan was ruthless, and it took only three days to capture Zhuo County, which the standing army had not broken for half a month, and then waved troops to Guangyang, Liangxiang, Changxiang, Anci and other cities, and spent seven days to sweep Fanyang County.
On the side of Youzhou, Liu Yan personally commanded the Praetorian Guards to sweep Fanyang County, and the standing soldiers and some county soldiers broke into Dai County.
Murong Yanguo had no psychological preparation at all in advance, their own belief was that Fanyang County, which had gathered heavy troops, should be able to hold on for half a year, and they really didn't think that they could be swept away within seven days.
Fanyang County is the forefront of the friction between Youzhou and the Han army, before Murong Yanguo was very careful to operate, the 140,000 garrison was gone within seven days, the news has not been transmitted back to Longcheng, and Daijun has been invaded again.
Pro-conquest, it should always be able to get some results, Liu Yan spent seven days to prove his strength, the problem is that the Praetorian Guard in his hand is almost exhausted, after capturing Fanyang County, he only let the standing army continue to advance northward, and when Murong Yanguo did not react, he pushed it to the city of Jicheng, and then it was time to stabilize the battle line.
During the Great War in Youzhou, Lu Tai also led a multinational coalition to attack the eastern side of Murong Yanguo.
The total strength of the multinational coalition army is 80,000, and it will be so small because there are too many losses in the last battle of Majisu, Goguryeo is really not young and strong to replenish the source of troops, Baekje and Silla are kicking in their hearts to leave room for them, and only those vassal states of the Japanese archipelago are doing their best to replenish the source of troops.
Strange to say, whether it was Goguryeo, Baekje, or Silla, they submitted to the Han state for various reasons, but it was impossible to obey and cooperate with everything, but the countries on the Wa Islands were very interesting.
The countries on the Japanese Islands, they have been competing since they surrendered to the Han State, not to mention the crazy absorption of the Han culture, it doesn't matter how the suzerain of the Han State is treated, what is shown is complete kneeling and licking, or the kind of kneeling and licking that the Han Kingdom loves to ignore, and the countries of the Japanese Islands have to be attached to it to death, which makes many Han officials embarrassed to bully.

Because Liu Yan's "no longer hidden" was also out of real need, the Han state's national war with foreign countries did not fall into decline because the countries wanted to unite, but on the contrary, because the continuous outward advance caused the army and the people to fall into a state of agitation.
The Han army entered Shuozhou, as if it was about to wipe out the Zhao State soon.
Liu Yan personally conquered Youzhou to take a county, and soon Dai County will also be captured, and the short time it took is shocking and unbelievable.
Murong Yan Kingdom not only collapsed in the south, but also fought with the multinational coalition in the east, and the two sides were still fighting near Ma Jieshui, but this time Lu Tai also brought a huge fleet, and with the cooperation of the land arms and the fleet, Murong Ge, who had the name of the god of war, did not have a good way for a while, and the war was stalemate and attrition from the beginning.
In this situation, those who have evil intentions begin to hesitate, while others who have already committed actual riots are bitter.
They can't figure it out, shouldn't it be that the Han Kingdom is in trouble, and when it comes to the time when they can jump happily, the gap between reality and imagination is so big Xie Ai's troops, who had already penetrated into the grassland, did not know much news, they left the Rouran Mountains and continued to march eastward, the troops were just about to leave, and the scouts reported that there was a Rouran tribe approaching the mountains ahead.
To the east of the Rouran Mountains is a plain, if Xie Ai chooses to take a detour, he should go around more than 100 miles, all because the plain is not obstructed by sight, and the naked eye can observe dozens of miles.
There must have been nearly a thousand people in that tribe, and it looked like they were on the way to migration, driving a large number of horses, cattle, and sheep, and the cars were lined up in a long line.
Around, there is nowhere to go around, stay where you are and wait to be discovered, Xie Ai's last order is to go out with the whole army and annihilate the Rouran tribe here.
At this moment, Xie Ai is riding a horse around the battlefield after the battle, and the place where he sees corpses is everywhere.
According to the confessions of the captured captives, this is really a migrating Rouran tribe, they are migrating south from the Anhou River and the Orkhon River, and there are many tribes that are also migrating behind.
Of course, it was impossible to bring any prisoners with a thousand-mile run, Xie Ai ordered all the Rouran people to be killed, and did not waste too much time cleaning up the battlefield, just slaughtered some cattle and sheep and carried the meat away, and the horses were all received.
Further east is the site of Longcheng, and to the east of Longcheng is the Tula River, a tributary of the Anhou River.
At the current season, the water level of the river is not too high. ” Longcheng is built on the site of an old city of the Xiongnu by the Xianbei people, and the Xianbei people went south to be received by the Rouran people, and no one can say what the current situation is.
At this point, Xie Ai knew very well that he would not be able to meet the Rouran tribe on the way to migrate, and that he and the others should continue to move forward even if there was a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of them, and they could stealthily come to a thousand miles away close to the old site of Wolf Juxu Mountain without being discovered, in fact, it was already bad luck.
Further on, it should be a fight every three or five times, Xie Ai is actually very nervous and guilty in his heart: should he try his best to avoid the reinforcements that the king said, where is it If you go deep into the enemy's territory, your heart is definitely false, that is, whether you will be eroded by fear and lose your inch, or whether you will be tenacious in carrying out military affairs.
Xie Ai's army continued to the east, and before approaching the old site of Wolf Juxu Mountain, they encountered seven tribes, large and small, and they did not know whether their whereabouts were known to the royal court of Rouran, and the only thing that was clear was that there was no organized interception of the Rouran tribe in front.
It was deliberately allowed to move forward, setting a trap and waiting for Xie Ai to gallop quickly, and he could feel the strong wind, and his mind began to drift: At this point, there is no turning back They had approached within 300 miles of the Wolf Juxu Mountain:
