Now the rest of the generals who are commanding the troops and thieves on the Youzhou front do not know that the imperial court will send Southern Xiongnu mercenaries to help defend Wuhuan.

At best, he only vaguely knew that the imperial court was going to change guards in a different place to stop erosion.

And Liu Bei was with Li Su at the beginning, in the mansion of the great general He Jin, and listened to Yuan Shao's details of the military aircraft of the Southern Huns.

It's just that Liu Bei trusts Li Su very much, Li Su said that Yuan Shao's plan is unreliable, and the imperial court's conscription without money may lead to a mutiny within the Southern Xiongnu, and Liu Bei almost completely believed it.

Liu Bei wanted to have dates and no dates, so he ordered Zhao Yun. Otherwise, if the Southern Huns really take care of themselves in the future, and the news reaches Youzhou, then this card is wasted if it is not used, and the deterrent effect has a shelf life.

In the future, if Yu Fuluo knew his prestige, he would only be used by Liu Bei to scare the enemy army in such a small battle, and to make a profit from the beheading of hundreds of levels and the capture of hundreds of war horses, I don't know how he would feel.

In any case, the Wuhuan cavalry led by Zhao Yun is indeed similar to that of the Southern Huns, they are all cavalry, and the enemy army is not clear when it is near dusk, and the general is shot by Zhao Yun after catching up.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun chased after him, killing hundreds of heads, and seizing as many as five or six hundred horses, and the two of them combined to personally kill more than 100 enemies, which really made the defeated soldiers tremble, and imprinted the images of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun deeply in their minds, like ghosts lingering.

"County Lieutenant Zhang, you can't chase it anymore, it's getting dark, and there are few casualties among our soldiers, let's turn back!" After chasing and killing for more than ten miles, Zhao Yun rushed forward, grabbed the reins of Zhang Fei, who was on the top of the blood, and finally pulled Zhang Fei back.

Turning back to count the men and horses, they also lost a full seventy or eighty people, at least thirty of them were killed in battle, and about fifty were wounded, so they really couldn't chase anymore.

Liu Bei started with a total of 200 cavalry, and if he continued to fight, all the seed troops would be exhausted.

"It's me who is impulsive, withdraw the troops." Zhang Fei was a little ashamed, thinking that his eldest brother's family had been defeated by him a lot, although it was a big victory, he really should learn a lesson, and he couldn't chase so recklessly next time.

On the way back to Yuyang Ying, they didn't go far, and Zhang Nan and Zou Jing led the men and horses out to respond.

The two sides met, Zhang Nan's first reaction was to thank him for the rescue, but seeing that Zhang Fei had captured so many horses and had no intention of sharing the spoils, his mood began to resent.

Originally, he didn't think in the direction of "Liu Bei's people deliberately waited for us to fight until both sides were exhausted and then rushed out to pick peaches", but when they saw the loot, they immediately reminded him.

They fought a defensive battle, and when the enemy attacked the camp, many of them dismounted and fought on foot, which made it difficult for the defending side to capture the horses, and as long as the enemy retreated, the horses of the fallen comrades would be brought back. Wuhuan people are born a horseback people, and it is very easy for one person to control three horses.

More than a thousand people died himself, and less than a hundred horses were captured, but Zhang Fei captured five or six hundred!

"Liu County's people and horses really arrived in time. Captain Zou is fighting hard, you just arrived! Zhang Nan didn't dare to disagree in his own name, so he put out the signboard of Captain Zou Jing.

"You ......" Zhang Fei was about to get angry almost immediately.

Lao Tzu's spoils of war were also killed by himself with his brothers, why are you not convinced?

"Don't be reckless, although Zhang Nan is nothing, after all, Captain Zou was the lord and benefactor, give Captain Zou a face." Zhao Yun was cautious, and hurriedly whispered beside him.

Zhang Fei calmed down at this time, and when he thought about it, after all, Liu Guanzhang had begged for the yellow scarf under Zou Jing back then, and Zhang Fei himself was quite grateful to Zou Jing.

So he took a step back, divided two hundred war horses, and generously asked Zou Jing to distribute the war profits, and he himself only took three or four hundred horses back to Liu Bei to ask for a reward.

Zou Jing left a hundred horses for himself and distributed a hundred horses to Zhang Nan's Yuyang camp, so that the matter could be settled. Zhang Fei actually has a bit of emotional intelligence when he calms down, and he knows that he will leave his favor to his boss Zou Jing to do.

As for Zhang Nan, he and Liu Bei are allies who are not subordinate to each other, so why use their own benefits to bother to envelop those Yuyang people.

Zhang Nan was indignant, but was pressed by Zou Jing, so he had to admit the drudgery.

Zou Jing accepted the gift very satisfied, and naturally accepted the head of the humble Gudu, as well as the other enemy heads captured by Zhang Fei and others, and asked the secretary of the army to verify the registration seal, indicating that he would definitely send it to the assassin Shi Taoqian in time to show his merits.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun led the troops back.

……

"Stupid! How could Huvro come so quickly! A bunch of rubbish! This can be deceived. ”

"I've never heard of a man named Zhang Bei under Zhang Nan's account, you don't want to describe those two Han generals well!"

After Zhang Chun collected his troops, he was depressed that night, and after some torture of the defeated soldiers, he quickly summed up: What kind of cavalry general of the Yuyang Battalion was chasing him just now! It was clearly Zhang Fei under Liu Bei, and another silver-armored general who didn't know his name, but had also seen it a few times on the battlefield.

Sure enough, the ones on the other side of the Liangxiang camp are the suspicious soldiers! Even the main elite of the Liangxiang Battalion has been transferred to the Yuyang Battalion!

He couldn't swallow this breath, and Zhao Yun's shouting of "Yu Fuluo comes to help" did give him more of a sense of crisis.

The reason why he was in a hurry to break through the Yanshan defense line and enter Jixian County was because Jixian County was governed by Youzhou Prefecture and was rich in wealth and could be plundered fiercely. On the other hand, he was also afraid that the Hu soldiers of other races dispatched by the imperial court would change their defenses and never have a chance.

This suspicion finally made him confused and completely anxious.

"Wait for Yuyang's soldiers and horses to return to Liangxiang, today's losses will be in vain, immediately inform the Nanqiao King stationed in Fuyang, and let him send troops to attack Liangxiang Valley tonight, and kill Liu Bei's camp tomorrow at the latest! Our soldiers are scattered, the cavalry swivel chair is fast, Liu Bei's people will definitely not have time to return to defense overnight! ”

Xu Yi, who joined the army, admonished: "...... Will it be too fast? In the past, when the army sent troops, they had to scout and search slowly, in the Yan Mountain, there were many dangers, if it was not strictly investigated, how would it be good to march along the valley and be ambushed by Liu Bei? ”

Zhang Chun: "It's too late!" It took thousands of casualties for our army to confirm that the main force of the enemy army was all in Yuyang, and slowly the sentinel would only delay the fighters! None of them came back to help, so they were afraid of any ambush! ”

His military orders were quickly carried out, and that night the messenger delivered the news to Fuyang County, on the southern side of the Yanshan defensive line. Zhang Chun's accomplice, the King of Wuhuan Cliffs, is stationed there.

Zhang Chun's liaison, Yan Rou, personally tried his best to talk to the King of Nanqiao about the art of war and the warplane, and the King of Wuhuan Nanqiao was suspicious, and pointed out that there were not thousands of cavalry, and thousands of reserves were prepared. The soldiers were instructed to get up early tonight, the third watch rebelled, the fourth watch went on the road, and the fifth watch went to the south side of the Liangxiang Valley to rob the camp.

Time was in a hurry, and it was a night march again, so scouts along the way could only be spared.

……

Liu Bei's 2,000 people have been out of the day and night these days, and the biological clock has long been reversed, and the spirit is just right at four or five o'clock in the morning.

Liu Bei sent only 200 cavalry, and none of the remaining main infantry forces moved, and the state was maintained very well.

It's just that Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun fought too violently, and their vision was not good at dusk, which caused the enemy to retreat without knowing how many pursuers there were, and mistakenly thought that Liu Bei had sent most of the people out.

"It is better for the enemy army not to come than for our army to be unprepared." Liu Bei sat in the tent, slowly drinking to refresh himself, and was on guard in his heart.

The emperor lived up to his wishes, and he finally didn't wait in vain tonight.

"Enemy attack, raise fire! Crossbow bolts in unison! ”

As the shouts in front of the camp arose, Liu Bei quickly ran out of the tent and climbed the tower to watch the enemy's command.

The camp was very well guarded, and some crossbows were set up to face the valley mouth. No matter day or night, when encountering an enemy attack, you will have no brains to release arrows in the preset direction first, and you can always suppress a wave of enemies.

"Is this called the camp empty and unprepared? Zhang Chun lied to me! The king of Wuhuan who led the troops immediately contracted violently, and he had a bad premonition in an instant.

Buddha Xiao robbed the camp, and he had already prepared for the enemy, no matter how many enemies there were, the matter itself would be too big a blow to morale.

"Look, my lord! There is a fire in the northeast! ”

The king of Nanqiao followed the guidance of his own soldiers: "Damn it! This is the beacon tower of the Han army, I remember that there is no Great Wall here! ”

But they all came, and they were not willing to leave without recklessness, and the king of Nanqiao commanded the troops to fight the camp, and was shot back by Liu Bei's arrows several times, with countless casualties. Although many Han soldiers were also killed and wounded, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Han soldiers had sufficient troops, and it was not a war of attrition that could be effective.

As soon as his morale was dissipated, he thought that he was in the middle of the plan, and he wanted to preserve his strength.

"That's it, let's fight and go, fortunately, there are not many casualties, so let's run for nothing." The king of Nanqiao decisively ordered the troops to retreat.

The Wuhuan soldiers suffered more than 1,000 casualties and retreated slowly and orderly.

However, not long after they retreated, they heard a faint rumbling sound on the road ahead—in fact, it had already been there during the battle just now, but the shouts of killing were too loud to cover up the rest.

"My lord, the mouth of the valley has been broken by thousands of felled and rolled down trees! More than 100 people were stoned to death in our army! ”

"Not good! It's really an ambush! The people around King Nanqiao panicked.

"Don't be impatient! Those who rebel against the hearts of the army are killed! Knowing that the situation was critical, the king of Nanqiao took out his knife and beheaded a person beside him who shouted and disturbed the hearts of the army without saying a word, and deterred the rest, so he decisively ordered, "The Han army is sneaky, and only dares to engage with bows and crossbows, and the number of people will not be too many!" Don't dare to fight us! It's just that the road is broken, and the wood is removed from the horse! ”

It's a pity that the troops in the dawn were already difficult to control, the Han soldiers who were ambushing and rolling wood on the hill raised fire and shouted, and the Liangxiang battalion behind also had pursuers with guns, shields and bows and crossbows slowly pressed out, and the Wuhuan soldiers who dismounted quickly became chaotic.

Most people find that it is completely possible to escape by abandoning their horses and walking and drilling down the slopes on both sides. In this case, why do you sacrifice yourself for others and risk death to move trees for the friendly forces behind?

The king of Nanqiao even killed several disobedient people, but he couldn't stop the team from running around. At this moment, someone pointed to the northeast, where a row of torches approached, and I don't know if it was a rapid reaction reinforcement attracted by the beacon tower.

The king of Nanqiao had no choice but to sigh, and also abandoned his horse and fled in the dark along the dense forests on the slopes on both sides.

After the sky was completely bright, Liu Bei took the men and horses out to clean the battlefield, and found that in the valley that was broken by the rolling logs, there were actually one or two thousand Wuhuan horses, scimitars, bows and arrows and other weapons, as well as fur armor, and countless others.

This ticket is really profitable.

What's even more rare is that I hope to open a bigger trust gap between Zhang Chun and the indigenous barbarian king of Wuhuan.

……

Zou Jing knew about the big victory on Liu Bei's side that day, but he didn't know how much war booty Liu Bei had captured.

Liu Bei is also very good at being a man, and announced that he had seized another 600 horses, and took the initiative to give 300 to his old boss, and other colleagues were gone.

Taking advantage of the victory, Liu Bei also further admonished, stating that Zhang Chun would definitely not dare to play the art of exhausting the enemy anymore after these two defeats. After thinking about it, Zhang Chun should have concentrated his forces, and had to choose to fight a frontal battle and a war of attrition, with Changping Valley, the widest road, as the main direction of attack.

After all, Changping Valley is where Juyongguan and Badaling are located in later generations, which also shows that this valley is the widest of the three valleys of Yanshan. After the Wuhuan people were ambushed by Liu Bei, they probably had a psychological shadow on those narrow paths.

Zou Jing felt that it made sense, so he concentrated more troops to defend the Changping Valley in front, and blamed Zhang Nan for refusing to pay out of his own pocket to build the beacon tower, which led to the delay in mutual support.

It's a pity that Zhang Nan refused to lose money when he died, so he broke the jar and broke it, and mixed the army salary but asked for no fault.

The court wins or loses, why should I spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to repair the beacon tower? Do you think everyone is a fool like Liu Bei who is a relative of the Han family and has to be loyal to the court with his own dry food?

Lao Tzu is an official and a mixed salary!

Besides, why didn't you Captain Zou pay two million out of his own pocket and buy all of our orders!

If it was a bloody battle, Zhang Chun's prestige among the Wuhuan people gradually declined with several defeats, and the Wuhuan people refused to use their lives for a while.

was actually hardened and stunned by Zou Jing and Liu Bei, and slowly pushed back along the Changping Valley, but instead seized the old camp at the north entrance of the Changping Valley, which was originally controlled by Zhang Chun, that is, the location of the Badaling Great Wall in later generations.

Badaling is the commanding height of Yanshan in the nearby area, and the terrain is higher than the location of Juyongguan in later generations, and can overlook Changping Valley.

The control of this neighborhood was lost when Gong Qichou was killed by King Wuhuan Nanqiao when he suddenly rebelled, so it was not Zou Jing's pot.

Zou Jing and Liu Bei's collection and payment of Badaling is equivalent to completely cutting off Zhang Chun's best way to recover Yanshan in the short term.

This merit can definitely be praised by the imperial court and rewarded for it, because you belong to helping solve the mess that Gong Qihou owed back then.

"The old pass of Yanshan here fell into my hands, just wait for the arrival of the Southern Xiongnu reinforcements, and we can go out of the customs and condescendingly and level Zhang Chun! If Zhang Chun is beheaded by me, why do you have to be a marquis, right? Even if there is no marquis, at least it has to be a pavilion marquis, and it is really good to be a marquis in the Guannei.

Xuande, you have been with me for a few years, and when the time comes, I will ask you to move to the county order of Jixian County, or to be the governor of another county, no problem! ”

Zou Jing climbed Badaling, overlooking the grassland in northwest Hebei, and his heart was full of pride.

Although the county order of Jixian County and the county order of Liangxiang are both county orders, the level is much different, because Jixian County is not only the county of Guangyang County, but also the former capital of Youzhou Prefecture and Yanguo, which is the first county of a state, and the county order is worth a thousand stones, which is the same level as Duwei.

It's a pity that he and Liu Bei were having sexual immorality, and suddenly there was a burst of bad news from behind:

A messenger from Jixian County dismounted in a panic: "Captain, I got an urgent report from the imperial court, when the Southern Xiongnu reinforcements marched to Hedong County at the junction of Hebei and Hebei, it was suddenly rumored that there was a civil strife and rebellion in the Southern Xiongnu in Yunzhong, and Qiangqu Shan Yu killed the traitors. King Zuo Xian had stagnated five days ago, and asked the imperial court to borrow another soldier and horse to help him return to Yunzhong County to quell the rebellion! ”

"What? I have taken back the Yanshan Pass here, just waiting for the Hun Iron Cavalry to rush into the upper valley to plow the court and sweep the caves, how can the reinforcements of the imperial court be so unreliable! ”

It seems that Youzhou's side is about to become a protracted war across Yanshan. Nothing can be done without the arrival of new and powerful reinforcements that are strong enough to change the balance of power!

The infantry under Zou Jing can gnaw down the passes along Yanshan, but chasing them out of the pass to chase down the Wuhuan cavalry is not even a thought.

They have made several feats in a row, but their teammates are not strong, so they can only stand by for help.

When Liu Bei heard this, the shock in his heart was even worse than Zou Jing:

"The Southern Xiongnu really had a traitor inside, and killed Qiangqu Shan Yu, who was willing to serve the imperial court! Even the methods and reasons are almost exactly the same as Boya expected! It's really an unpredictable opportunity.

No wonder in Boya's letter the day before yesterday, I was asked to preserve my strength, fight with weight, and wait for him and Liu Youzhou to bring reinforcements to take office. ”

It turned out that Liu Bei and Zhang Chun had been fighting for a month, and during this time, Li Su had also written several letters to him.

The most recent letter was more than half a month ago, when the news of the departure of the Southern Xiongnu reinforcements had just arrived. In the letter, Li Su gave Liu Bei a preventive injection and reminded him again not to expect too much from Fuluo.

The letter also said that the imperial court had begun to promote the "abolition of history and pastoral care", Tao Qian's term of office was as short as one month, and the longest was less than two months (counting from the date Li Su wrote the letter), and the first candidate for the state pastor in the country was also secretly condemned to death, that is, Liu Yu, the great sect.

But Liu Yu still has some preparations to hand over before taking office, and he also knows that there is no deterrent to go to work alone without reinforcements, so he sent a few captains and captains who were going to be transferred to Youzhou to take advantage of the fact that before taking office, they went to the land of Xu Yang to recruit some elite soldiers in the world.

Li Su, as Liu Yu's subordinate official, was also determined to be transferred from Zongzheng Mansion to Youzhou in the future. But now, he was first sent to assist a henchman under Liu Yu, named Wuqiu Yi, who went south to recruit and select Danyang soldiers, and he would return within two months, and everyone would reunite in Youzhou at that time.

As for Guan Yu, he was also taken by Li Su and went with Wuqiu Yi to recruit Danyang reinforcements first.

Liu Bei didn't know that in history, the errand of following Wuqiu Yi to recruit Danyang soldiers was actually received by himself - in the original history, Liu Bei angrily whipped the post and fled to the rivers and lakes. Later, during his outlaw to Qingzhou and Xuzhou, he heard that Zhang Chun had rebelled and that his post supervision had been whitewashed, so he caught the last train and recommended himself to follow Wuqiu Yi to recruit Danyang soldiers, which was regarded as a small contribution to the periphery of Zhang Chun's rebellion.

It's just that in history, on the way back from Danyang, Liu Bei caught up with Zhang Chun's partial division when he passed through Qingzhou and stirred up Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

Unexpectedly, in this life, Liu Bei avoided that kind of idleness, and he could go to the frontal battlefield to kill the enemy and make greater contributions. But the gap vacated by Liu Bei's butterfly effect was topped by Li Su's guy - who let Li Su appear under Liu Yu now, and Liu Yu just needed such a henchman.

"That's it, wait for Liu Youzhou and Boya to bring reinforcements." After Liu Bei recalled Li Su's letter, he relaxed for a while.

——

PS: I can't help it, because the protagonist at this end has a different path from Liu Bei, so the double-line operation must be written, and it is impossible to explain the deduction of the frontal battlefield in Youzhou without writing, but I think I have written as briefly as possible, and I have advanced quickly, without irrigation. The strategy is almost in the loop.

But I also absorb everyone's opinions, in the future, when encountering double-line operations, I try to pay attention to the rhythm like those gods, don't Liu Bei write four to six chapters in a row, I will intersperse one or two chapters here and one or two chapters there.

This is the first time to deal with a large part of the plot where the protagonist and the supporting characters act separately, and there is no experience, so be it.

Moreover, the text of this chapter is already 5,000 words. Even if it is an extra 2,000 words to give you an extra 2,000 words, to make up for the rhythm of letting everyone watch Liu Bei's branch line for two and a half days in a row, I think I am also interesting enough, and I didn't delay it for another day.

Duobai gave everyone more than 2,000 words, and it was reasonable to ask for more recommendation votes and comments to collect.
