In less than five rounds, Gao Ran was beaten left and right.

General Yuan Shaozhong knew Gao Lan's martial arts very well, and when he saw that he was beaten by Zhao Yun in less than five rounds, he gasped, and exclaimed in his heart: "This is too fierce, isn't it just Lu Fengxian in front of the Tiger Prison?" ”

Gao Ran clenched his teeth, cheering himself up in his heart: he can't retreat for the time being, and the lord Yuan Shao is watching behind him.

So Gao Ran stiffened, raised his big knife, and slashed at Zhao Yun again.

Zhao Yun smiled slightly, "Come here again, you are poor in donkey skills." The gentian bright silver spear in his hand went straight to Gao Ran's left arm,

Gao Ran saw the bright silver spear coming straight towards his left arm, and he would definitely not be able to dodge.

Suddenly had a plan, and slashed at Zhao Yun's right shoulder, wanting to fight his left arm, but also hurt Zhao Yun. That's a lose-lose game.

At this time, Zhao Yun either returned to resist, or both were defeated. If you return the gun to resist, you will be in the middle of the plan - with your own strength, Zhao Yun will be hit under the horse.

Zhao Yun saw Gao Lan's big knife coming straight to his right shoulder, completely ignoring his left arm, and a feeling of helplessness rose in his heart, so he had to return his gun to resist.

When the gun and knife touched, there was a "dang" sound, Zhao Yun was still riding on the horse, and his body was not shot down, Gao Ran was shocked in his heart, "My good man, the power of this Zilong is so powerful." ”

Gao Ran finally knew that he was not Zhao Yun's opponent in terms of strength or moves.

No longer hesitate, make a false move, turn the horse's head and run, what reputation and military merits are compared to their own lives, it doesn't matter.

Zhao Yun took Gao Ran's heavy blow, and he didn't feel anything wrong, the gun was like a coiling dragon, and it hit Gao Ran again, and Gao Ran's false move was instantly broken.

Although Gao Ran's false trick was broken, he was ready to escape, and the horse ran towards Yuan Shao's camp quickly.

Although the horse was fast, it was Zhao Yun on the other side. No matter how fast the horse's hooves were, it was still a beat slower than Zhao Yun's gun, and a shot stabbed out, hitting Gao Ran's thigh, Gao Ran didn't care about the pain, gritted his teeth and rode back to the army.

At this point, no one in Yuan Shao's Jizhou army dared to fight anymore, but Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou army was as morale as a rainbow, and the momentum lost in the Battle of Jieqiao was finally won back under Zhao Yun's gun.

Yuan Shao saw that the morale of the soldiers was low, so he had to pull out the camp and set up the village, retreat ten miles, and defend the county seat.

Winter is coming soon, and Gongsun Chan has not yet found a way to crack Ju Yi's "first to the dead", so he can only stick to the camp and wait for the next year to fight again.

And Yuan Shaofang had few soldiers and horses, so he had to wait for Gongsun Zan to fight again in the coming year.

On the other hand, before the war, Gongsun Chan sent people to contact Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin Army around Taihang Mountain, and Zhang Yan had a good relationship with Gongsun Zhan, so he sent his subordinate Du Chang and others to help Gongsun Chan and attack the southern counties of Jizhou. However, he was defeated by Yuan Shao's general Yan Liangwenchou, killing more than 7,000 people of the Montenegrin Army and beheading five generals, and since then the Montenegrin Army and Yuan Shao have begun to have a grudge.

......

Since ancient times, it has been the main site of confrontation against ethnic minorities.

When Ding Yuan was there, he recruited men from all the prefectures, took the lead, and the ethnic minorities who fought had no power to fight back, and the cavalry of the prefecture was called "wolf cavalry" by the ethnic minorities.

However, Ding Yuan received a call from the general He Jin to enter Luoyang to kill the eunuchs, and after being killed by Dong Zhuoce's counter-general Lu Bu, his Bingzhou army was also subsumed under Dong Zhuoxi's Liang army, and has been stationed in Luoyang and Chang'an.

Dong Zhuo only knows that he is enjoying himself in Chang'an, and he doesn't pay much attention to his Xiliang, let alone merging with the state.

Within a year, the Southern Xiongnu people living in the northern part of Shuofang County and Wuyuan County went to the southern part of the two counties to plunder the grain, property and population of the Han people. The people were miserable.

The power of the Southern Xiongnu also took this opportunity to gradually grow, and some of them were Wubu, and they occupied the northern areas of Yanmen County, Yunzhong County and Dingxiang County.

Winter is coming, and the five Xiongnu tribes are ready to move again.

After nearly a year of exploration, Hu Chuquan, the great leader of the Southern Xiongnu, identified the four southern counties of Bingzhou: Xihe County, Taiyuan County, Shangdang County and Shangjun, which did not have too many troops.

Even if there were, it was only infantry, and it was okay to defend the city, but the cavalry pursuing the Huns was a bit beyond its strength.

The five Xiongnu have long coveted the richness of the southern part of the state, and when the state army was there, they did not dare to have bad thoughts, and after confirming the news that Ding Yuan had died, the big leader Hu Chuquan ordered Liu Neng, the left king of the Huns, to lead the eight thousand Hun cavalry of the headquarters to the south, and plundered the rich southern part of the state.

Why did Liu Neng, the king of the Xiongnu Zuoxian, go? There is Hu Chuquan's own little calculation in this. The Xiongnu were divided into five tribes, and the leader of the largest tribe was called the great leader of the Xiongnu, who could lead the five tribes and enjoy the best resources and the wealth of beautiful women.

The central part of the Xiongnu in Huchuquan is now the largest tribe among the five Xiongnu tribes, with a total of more than 25,000 Xiongnu residents, and the number of soldiers can reach 40,000. Among the remaining four tribal forces of the Xiongnu left, the right Xiongnu, the northern Xiongnu and the southern Xiongnu, the left of the Xiongnu has the largest power, with 15,000 Xiongnu residents and nearly 20,000 soldiers in battle, which can most threaten the position of the chief of Huchuquan. Therefore, this time to the south, the first to choose the left part of the Xiongnu.

In addition to the above-mentioned reasons, there is also the factor of merging the southern part of the state, plundering other people's property, others will definitely not be willing to give, there will be scramble, there will be war. The left part of the Xiongnu plundered southward, first, to test the reaction of the southern counties and counties, and second, in case of casualties, it could also weaken the strength of the left part of the Xiongnu, killing two birds with one stone. For Hu Chuquan, why not?

After some preparations, Liu Neng's army formulated a route to the south. Take Yanmen Pass first, leave 2,000 men and horses to guard Yanmen Pass, and only arrange 6,000 men and horses to plunder south. In doing so, one is to reserve one's own retreat in case of resistance; The second is that Yanmen Pass is the nearest road to the south, and after this road is opened, it can often go south to plunder.

As soon as Liu Neng's army was dispatched, the intelligence battalion of the Fenwu Army sent the news to Changshan County and put it in front of Han Cheng.

After several months of preparation, Han Cheng had enough food and grass, and the morale of the soldiers was booming.

After receiving the news, he immediately ordered: Wei Yan, Zhang He and Pan Feng led 4,000 Qinglong battalions, 3,000 strong bow battalions and 3,000 soldiers to go to battle with them and merge with them.

Liu Neng, the left king of the Xiongnu, was the leader of the left part of the Xiongnu, and this time he received the order to go south to plunder the wealth, and Liu Neng also had a calculation in his heart: this was the first time to cross the Yanmen Pass to attack the southern part of the state, and the profits were very rich, and the risks were also great. After selecting 8,000 cavalry from the tribe, another 5,000 cavalry were prepared, so that in case of a situation at Yanmen Pass, they could support at any time and keep their retreat open.

The two groups of people are surrounding and merging states, and a big war is about to start.
