As the military town of the Xiongnu, Guliangzhou not only has heavy troops to guard, but also is controlled by Zhang Yuan, one of the four major generals of the Xiongnu, which can be described as impregnable.

Zhang Yuan was originally a native of the Central Plains, in the Tang Dynasty, he continued to devote himself to the imperial examination, determined to be a border army, but unfortunately depressed, after writing a book and saying, wrote a lot of famous articles on the art of war, and won one of the twelve generals of the Tang Dynasty at that time, Ren Fuqi, recommended it to the imperial court, Tang Emperor Li Mocun liked Zhang Yuan's art of war articles, but after seeing Zhang Yuan, he did not hire this person on the grounds that he had "anti-bones", and persuaded Ren Fu to abandon this person, so as to avoid future troubles.

Ren Fu didn't listen, pressed him to his side, gave him the position of a military academyman, and was ready to marry his daughter to Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan had different ambitions and disappeared on a moonlit night.

Later, on that snowy night, the world was in chaos under the drive of some force. Ren Fu was ordered to return to Tai'an City, and on the way back to Haoshuichuan, he was ambushed by the Hun cavalry and the whole army was annihilated. Ren Fu killed the enemy bravely on the battlefield, and looked up at the valley, Zhang Yuan stood there on a tall horse, scolding angrily.

Zhang Yuan was unmoved, ordered the cavalry to rush into the valley, and all the troops in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty were killed overnight, the main general Ren Fu was killed by more than ten arrows, and was killed by a gunshot in the cheek, and the palm of the prisoner Wen Jue was cracked, and his head was cut off.

The battle history is called the battle of Haoshuichuan, is the battle of the Xiongnu Dingguo, before the battle of Haoshuichuan, the Xiongnu is a nomadic group tribe, after the battle of Haoshuichuan, the Xiongnu began to have the concept of the country, and then Weishui attacked, especially when the Bank of China entered the Xiongnu, Shengjing City was established, the carriages and horses moved north, and the vast grassland desert was finally able to divide the world with the Northern Wei, Southern Liang and Western Chu, and became a force that could not be ignored.

The Empress Dowager hated Zhang Yuan to the bone, and once offered a reward for Zhang Yuan's head with 10,000 taels of gold, but unfortunately it was all over in the end, the battle of Haoshuichuan was a very important blow to the Tang Dynasty, and the entire army of the Northwest Frontier Army was wiped out, which indirectly led to the emptiness of the Northwest Army, and the Western Chu had the courage to establish a country when there were less than 30,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, and fought to the Hetao Plain and the land of the three states.

Therefore, some people joked that on the portraits of the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion in Western Chu, there should be a place for the Xiongnu general Zhang Yuan.

Li Yuanhao did not enter Guliangzhou, and when he said goodbye to the caravan, Liang Xiuxiu obviously exhaled a long breath, with Miss Li by her side, she couldn't eat or sleep well, even if she slept lightly, she always dreamed of what happened that night, and the final picture was always Li Yuanhao's expressionless and calm face, which was more frightening than the cannibalistic proprietress who was heart-wrenching.

Walking through the tent on the outskirts of Guliangzhou, Li Yuanhao was attracted by the shouting outside, and patted Ding Yi's shoulder: "Go, buy two sweet potatoes!"

Although I don't want to admit it, His Majesty the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty is indeed greedy at this time, and his mouth is full of words, and saliva continues to flow out.

"Okay!" The young man Ding Yi bounced up from the carriage, ran to the sweet potato stall with a cigarette, and ran out non-stop for a while, rubbing his hands: "Sister, I have no money." ”

"Don't call me sister!" Li Yuanhao scolded, still took out a piece of silver from his arms, thought about it, and put it back, at this time in the grassland, the silver ingot was engraved with a silver number, although the Northern Wei Dynasty silver money can be circulated in the grassland, but for safety, she still replaced the silver ingot with a copper plate, handed it to Ding Yi, and asked with some curiosity: "Don't you pay silver at the sticky rod?"

"Hair, but I spend money so hard that I can't save it. Ding Yi counted the copper plates in his palm, and ran to the sweet potato stall, and after a while, the young man ran back with two steaming sweet potatoes, handed Li Yuanhao a piece, and couldn't wait to tear open a small opening, bite down, and grin with his scalded teeth.

Li Yuanhao raised his eyebrows, wanting to ask Ding Yi's origin, but when the words came to his mouth, she swallowed them back again, lowered his head and took a bite of the sweet potato, which was sweet and extremely delicious.

Ding Yi ate his face full of sweet potato puree, and didn't forget to lick his fingers: "Before leaving, Lord Chu once specially told me to take a good look at my sister, if my sister has reckless actions, I must stop it, in fact, in my opinion, Lord Chu is completely worried, my sister is very calm, much calmer than I imagined, and has the demeanor of sitting in the army and not messing up." ”

Li Yuanhao smiled, lowered his head and continued to pack the sweet potatoes in his hands, this is something that cannot be done in a hurry, especially in the hinterland of the Xiongnu Shengjing City, it should be calm, cautious, not in a hurry, otherwise it is easy to expose his whereabouts, maybe at this time the Xiongnu are also waiting for the Northern Wei Dynasty to act, so they blocked the news of Xiuce's captivity very well, not only the Xiongnu, but also the news of the Northern Wei Dynasty was blocked.

With a click, there seemed to be an earth-shattering thunderbolt that fell heavily on Li Yuanhao's head, she once suspected that there were spies within the Northern Wei Dynasty, this person should be in the center of power, know some secrets, so will this person be ...... Chu Renfeng, who is holding the sticky pole and the people of the Imperial City Division in one hand?

Glancing at Ding Yi, who was licking his fingers, Li Yuanhao also began to deeply doubt whether this laughing young man was a spy planted by Chu Renfeng beside him.

As if he had guessed what Li Yuanhao was thinking, Ding Yi wiped his hands casually: "Sister, I know what you are thinking, as for whether Lord Chu is what you think, I don't know." However, when I was about to leave Beijing, Lord Chu did not give an order to monitor, but just asked me to protect you well, even if I died, I couldn't let my sister be hurt a little. ”

Li Yuanhao swallowed the last bite of sweet potato, looked down at the ground for a long time, and finally retreated to the carriage and said, "Now set off immediately and go north to Shengjing City." ”

A horse-drawn carriage passed through the bustling tents outside the city of Guliangzhou and headed north.

At the same time, the Zhenbei Army moved.

In previous years, the five towns of Beifang retreated, according to the soldiers of the Zhenbei army slowly moved, the action is very hidden, the five towns of Beifang still have heavy guards, but secretly there have been troops from the five towns of Beifang to drive out, first of all, the 10,000 infantry in the Chicheng action, out of the city, from the appearance, this 10,000 horses, more like the army that has been inspected according to the routine in previous years, the speed of action is not fast, only one thing has attracted the attention of the herdsmen along the way, the grain and grass carried by the 10,000 horses are surprisingly much, enough for many days of supply.

According to the custom of previous years, the 10,000 patrol men and horses dispatched by the Zhenbei Army will conduct a simple inspection south of the Great Wall, and the grain and grass brought will be used for three days at most, and most of them will not cross the Great Wall and appear in the north of the Great Wall, which is strange this year.

News came to Guliangzhou one after another, and the secret guards sent it to Zhang Yuanying's tent one after another. 12910
