The year before last, that is, in the third year of Yuanfeng, the king of Youxian ordered the king of plough to peep into the west of the river and wanted to enter Zhangye, but he was ambushed by the commander of Zhangye's subordinate state, and lost more than 3,000 horsemen, and the king of plough was killed on the spot.As for the small clash that took place in Dunhuang, it was only an inconspicuous part of that war.It was the first big defeat in the life of Tu Qitang, the king of Youxian, and he found that he didn't know the enemy of Han so much, so he began to frantically search for Han captives to join the royal court.However, in that defeat, King Youxian threw all the pots on the head of the king of ploughs, disqualified his son from inheriting the territory, and transferred his cronies to the king of Wen Puppet.As the southernmost king of the right land, he used Jiuquan and Mamanshan Mountain north of Zhangye as his grazing land, and was responsible for monitoring the movements of the Han army in Hexi.At present, King Wen Duo has fulfilled his duty, sent someone to assemble the Jiuquan Han army, and reported to the right king that there is a tendency to attack the right land, and heard that there may be danger in his hometown, and the thousand cavalry commanders can't sit still."
Don't panic!"
King Youxian's face remained calm, and he said with a smile: "If the Han army wants to go from Jiuquan Zhangye to my royal court, there are only two ways. ”"One is to live hundreds of miles in Yansai, cross Longle Water, and go west to Zhuoxi."
In 99 BC, the second year of the Tianhan Dynasty, Li Guangli took this road to attack the right and fought the battle of Tianshan.King Youxian said to his cronies: "Before I sent my troops, I had asked Da Danyu to send the right captain to lead more than 10,000 cavalry to cruise in that area, and the Han army would not be able to pass the plan. ”"The second road is to travel through the Gobi Desert for hundreds of miles, through the canyon dotted with stars, and I have also sent the king of Dongpu to lead 3,000 cavalry to garrison, plus the king of Wen Duo, it is difficult for the Han army to pass through that day."
Xingxing Gorge is the provincial border between Xinjiang and Dunhuang in later generations, with peaks and peaks on all sides, only a narrow mountain road winding in between, and dangerous rocks and cliffs on both sides, because of this, the Han army has never walked that road.After settling everyone with such words, King Youxian beat a drum in his heart, and couldn't help but think that there was really such a sentence in the silk book of the Han envoy Ren Hong."
The Son of Heaven has sent the general Zhao Chongguo out of Jiuquan with an army of 100,000, taking the Pu Sea, and breaking the court of Youxian Wang" "Isn't this the Han envoy's nonsense, but it is true?""
100,000 is impossible, with the right Xianwang's understanding of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible for the Han army to gather so many troops in a short period of time without being discovered by the Xiongnu.But nearly 10,000 cavalry, it is possible, and the four counties of Hexi alone can be dispatched.What he was worried about now was that King Wen and King Dongpu would be able to use the Heavenly Danger in Xingxing Gorge to block the cavalry of the Han army with a comparable number of people?
The Right Virtuous King can't say.Today's Han cavalry is not a hundred years ago, after seizing Hexi and Henan, the quality of the Han army's horses even exceeds that of ordinary Hun kings.Many of the Xiongnu and Qiang people who descended to the Han Dynasty joined the Han army as Hu cavalry, and the Liangjiazi of the six counties, the main force of the cavalry, was proficient in cavalry and archery, plus the excellent soldiers, under the command of excellent generals, they could often have fewer enemies and more enemies.In the last war, the 4,000 cavalry of the Plough King who entered Zhangye County were captured by the 3,000 cavalry of the Zhangye vassal state, and almost all the troops were wiped out.Moreover, the Han army could hold a shield as an infantry when dismounting, and it was stronger than the Huns who lost the advantage of horses in narrow terrain."
This news was sent from Horsehair Mountain ten days ago, if the Han army would have gone north immediately at that time, I am afraid that it would have reached the Pu Sea at this moment."
Although he still had 10,000 horses left in the Youxian Palace, he still didn't feel that it was enough.After hesitating, the battle in front of him turned from a battle that was determined to turn the situation between Han and Hungary into a difficult bone to gnaw.Although you will not necessarily lose if you try your best, it will take a lot of time, three, five or even ten days, and if your royal court is wiped out at that time, what is the point of fighting thousands of casualties to eliminate these 3,000 Han troops?
But it is really a shame to retreat in such a hurry, although it is normal for the Huns to retreat when they see disadvantage, but as the right virtuous king, repeated defeats over the years will also make his prestige plummet.Just when the right king hesitated, there was a group of horsemen galloping from the northwest, and it was actually King Puyin and his two thousand horsemen."
Something happened to the ditch plow?"
Seeing King Puyin coming here, King Youxian only felt that what he brought was not good news.King Puyin's eyes were full of anxiety: "It's not a canal plow, it's an iron gate.""
I caught the cronies of the king of Yougu Li in the morning, and he said that the king of Yougu Li has sent the Han envoy, and the Han envoy opened the iron gate and let him pass!
At this moment, the right valley Li King is afraid that he has already arrived at the other end of the canyon and is going back to his royal court!
”"I said why didn't the king of Yougu Li go south to surrender to Fu Jiezi, but he actually had the idea of gathering his subordinates!
The blow of this news to the Right Xian King was even greater, he only felt dizzy, and there was only one sentence left in his heart."
It's messy, the whole right land, it's going to be messed up!"
When the horsemen under the command of the right valley Li Wang scattered one after another to defect to the right Xian King, the right Xian Wang was proud, only felt that this time killed two birds with one stone, not only let the Han army fall into his trap, but also eliminated an opponent.But he didn't expect that the king of Yougu Lili would fight so hard, and instead of going south to join the Han army, he made a desperate bet and went back to the royal court through the iron gate, in a vain attempt to recover.From the beginning of the right valley Li King was framed by the Han envoys, to now the betrayal of the Huns, the right Xian King is fueling the troubles, under all kinds of misunderstandings, the two sides can not talk about the plan.Once the right valley Li King returned to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, the troops were forty or fifty thousand, and the string control was thousands, if the cavalry of the Hexi Han army was pinched to attack the court of the right Xian Wang, it would be a bad thing!
And from the iron gate back to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, it is the territory of the king of the day, will the king of the day because of a defeat in the iron gate, afraid of punishment and collusion with the king of the right valley, rebel together?
That would have completely messed up the right side.At that time, whether he, the right virtuous king, can continue to be in power, and whether the right part of the Xiongnu still exists, is a question.The Right Virtuous King only felt the chill under his feet rising one by one, and his heart was no longer in the battle in front of him, but flew back to the right place, which side was more important, needless to say.And in the end, what made King Youxian decide to give up the attack was the billowing dust from the west bank of the Peacock River.It looked like a dust raised by thousands of horses, and it could be seen from ten miles away, and it was friend or foe."
Is it a Wusun?"
The Huns were a little uneasy, and the Right Xian King gritted his teeth: "This group of Wusun wolves, clearly send a messenger to say that they will never cross the Luntai Wulei for half a step, and will not be the enemy of the Huns. ”Now that the Wusun people have also joined the battle and have their horns as the Han army, in this battle, their last advantage has also been lost, and the Huns, who are unwilling to fight to the death, have already retreated.And at this moment, the thousands of cavalry commanders on the left and right, as well as Wu Zongnian, shouted a warning."
King Youxian, the Han army has moved!"
King Youxian looked, sure enough, the Han army's Wugang chariot formation began to leave the river bank and advance towards the Huns.It's good that the Han army didn't move, but the Han army moved, which made the right Xianwang even more suspicious, and he became vigilant."
From start to finish, it could be a huge trap."
He still thought that his strategy of besieging the city and luring the enemy was so clever, it turned out that it was all seen through by the Han people?
The demise of Qiuzi, the rebellion of the Liwang of Yougu, the reinforcements carrying the Wugang chariot, plus the Wusun people on the other side, and finally the Jiuquan Han cavalry who intended to attack the court of the Youxian Wang.In retrospect, it was really a ring after a ring, and the right sage king, who thought he was in the palm of his hand in the morning, suddenly found himself completely at a disadvantage."
Sure enough, you can't underestimate the heroes of Handi."
There was no need for Wu Zongnian's persuasion at all, and after Wang Youxian sighed, he gave the final order."
Withdraw!
Withdraw to the mountain country, withdraw to the right land!
”At least he is a full teacher, and it is more decent than his ancestor Yi Zhi to flee alone, right?
As long as this defeat is said to be caused by the rebellion of the right valley Li King, he can still explain it to Da Danyu.The horn sounded slowly, but the tone was completely opposite to the prelude to the attack, low and helpless, Hu Cai relied on the advantage of speed and maneuver, and began to hurriedly retreat north, distancing himself from the Han army.And Wu Zongnian was caught in a group of Hu horses, his riding skills were not good, and he was sent by the Right Xian King to see it to death, and he couldn't find a chance to get out, so he had to look back a little reluctantly, looked at the Han army that was getting farther and farther away, looked at the red loess flag, and sighed.The crisis of the Han army in the Western Regions was temporarily lifted, but his battle was far from over.Wu Zongnian could only warn himself of that sentence while being false and wronged."
The body is in the Huns, and the heart is in the Han!"
On the other side, when Ren Hong and others found that the Huns had evacuated and moved south from Tiemen Pass, wanting to join the Han army reinforcements, they only saw such a scene.The 3,000 Han troops pushing the Wugang cart slowly moving north.The Huns, who were five times as numerous as them, retreated in a hurry!
It looked like a little hedgehog, forcing back a large group of wolves.Seeing this situation, Ren Hong, who had successfully won the victory, slapped his palms and laughed: "Fu Hu Bing Wu, and when Han Bing is one, I am honest!"
”"Renjun!"
When Ren Hong and them approached Fu Jiezi's army, they had already stopped their "pursuit" of the Huns.The two of them who came to greet Ren Hong were Sima Shu and Zhao Han'er, the two of them joined Fu Jiezi's army in Loulan, and then went north to relieve the siege."
How did these Wugang cars get here?"
Ren Hong saw Wugang's car from a distance and knew that this was one of the reasons why the Huns retreated.It's just that they are too cumbersome, and several tuntian points in the Western Regions have not yet sent craftsmen to make and produce, how did Fu Jiezi take them over the three ridges of sand and white dragon piles?
Zhao Han'er personally went to Julucang to wait for Fu Jiezi, and told Ren Hong the scene he saw: "The sand in Sanlong was too high, and the car could not be climbed, so the soldiers spent two days under the command of the craftsman to disassemble the Wugang car.Sima Shu said: "As for the white dragon pile, it can only be pushed hard, I saw so many Wugang cars at the time, often the road is broken and delayed for a long time, and I feel puzzled, now I understand, Fu Gong has long been on guard against the attack of the Huns." ”If the Han army didn't bring Wugang chariots, the outcome of this battle was really uncertain, because Ren Hong knew that the "Wusun people" on the other side of the Peacock River were actually only two or three thousand horses scavenged from Qiuzi, relying on Princess Yaoguang and dozens of her subordinates to drive and graze with difficulty, and disguised themselves as a large group of cavalry from afar.That was Ren Hong's last plan.Continuing to walk inside, Ren Hong found that the Han soldiers had dirty faces, they were all marching in a hurry these days, whether they ate or slept well, and even the military rations were not very abundant, everyone was tanned by the scorching sun of the Western Regions.Ren Hong didn't even dare to ask, how many people died in the middle of the road when crossing the natural danger?
All he could do was bow down to them."
On behalf of the officials of the Western Regions, thank you for coming thousands of miles to help."
Everyone also saluted him, and learned from the conversation between Ren Hong and Zhao Han'er and others that he was the one who used the Wusun soldiers to destroy Qiuzi, and they were all very curious, and they crowded over to watch one by one.Let's see if this Ren Hong has nine heads or six arms, can do such a big thing, one person and one country, the entire Western Regions will be shaken.Ren Hong finally squeezed over and came to the banner of the Han army.But he saw Fu Jiezi wearing a heavy armor, moving a small stool to sit under the flag, and there was a thirty-year-old official beside him, with three strands of beard under his chin, who was reluctantly pulling out his sleeve, taking out a piece of gold cake from it, stuffing it into Fu Jiezi's arms, and muttering: "I admit to gambling and losing, but those Huns are too uncompetitive, and they don't even dare to rush once and run away, causing me to ruin my fortune." ”Fu Jiezi unceremoniously put away the golden cake and said with a smile: "Ziming, Ziming, you still don't know the habits of the Huns, these things are not from the book, you have to hear people say, but you have to experience it yourself, and after years of fighting with their generations, until they are more familiar with them than your wife." ”The official shook his head: "My wife is virtuous, but it won't cause me to lose the last piece of gold cake.""

What is Fu Gong gambling again?"
Ren Hong knows Fu Jiezi's little hobbies, likes to gamble, gamble on fate, gamble on wealth, gamble on fame, and can win every time."
I'm betting on whether the Huns will retreat without a fight, and I won."
After seeing Ren Hong, Fu Jiezi stood up and beckoned him: "Daoyuan, you came just in time, Ziming, this is the Ren Hong you have always wanted to see." ”The black-clothed official with the word "Ziming" had already noticed Ren Hong, and bowed to him: "The military commander orders Feng Fengshi!"
Coming to the Western Regions, I really have admired the name of Ren for a long time!
