Military affairs, that is a sloppy thing. Especially as a general, you must be clean and self-disciplined, and always remind yourself not to be confused. After all, there are so many such things in history. Not to mention, the decisive battle between Liu Yao, the former Zhao lord and the later Zhao Shile, more than 20 years ago, is the best example.

Before the war, Liu Zhen's strength actually had an advantage, and if he really fought, the chance of winning should be said to be very large. But this Liu Zhen relied on his strong troops, and actually got drunk before the war, and besides, the places that should be fortified are not fortified.

As a result, by the time the war began, the drunk Liu Zhen was almost full of mistakes, and the orders he issued were extremely chaotic, which made his soldiers and generals at a loss.

So, under this battle, Qianzhao was completely finished, and Liu Zhen himself was killed by Shi Le. It was a good situation, but he was stunned to finish playing by himself.

Although it is said that the Huashan Army has not yet reached this point, Li Xin wants to prevent the slightest slight. Therefore, as soon as there are signs of many things, it must be pinched off strongly.

In addition to the punishment of Chen Kang, Li Xin had some other ideas. When the situation calms down, he is ready to rectify the army and eliminate some bad habits and customs that have appeared now.

Only in this way can we always maintain the strong combat effectiveness of the Huashan Army. Otherwise, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the Huashan Army will have to become a virtue with other forces in the world.

Not to mention that Tu Qi sent people to inform Sun Tie and Li Erhei of their affairs, it is only said that when Murong Chui led his troops south to cross the Yellow River, it was not long after Shao Zisong and Deng Qiang led their troops from Luguan.

A group of 3,000 men and horses, relying on the war horses they had taken from the Huns, went all the way north along the Weishui River Valley.

Luguan is more than 100 miles away from the grassland, and the road in this valley is rugged and difficult to walk, and it is not as good as a straight road.

But if you go on a straight road, you'll have to take a long detour. The main thing is that the more detours, the more likely you are to be discovered. After all, most of the grasslands are dominated by Hu people!

At the speed of cavalry, it would have been more than a hundred miles in just one day. As a result, it took them two days to get out of it. Then, they marched west along the edge of the grassland, and when they arrived to the north of Xiaoguan, it was the day Liu Xiaohai attacked Yixian.

Shao Zisong and Deng Qiang led the army to the outside of the muddy Xiyuan River Valley, at the junction of mountains and grasslands, and it was about one hundred and fifty miles away from Xiaoguan. Before setting up an ambush, Shao Zisong specially sent someone south to investigate, and when he knew that Liu Yantou was still outside Xiao Pass, he was finally relieved.

That place happened to be densely populated with mountain beams, all of which were oblique longitudinally. The valley is like a trumpet, the further north it goes, the wider it becomes, but the further south it goes, the narrower it becomes.

After going out from here, you will be in the Hetao area all the way north. If Liu Yantou wants to rush back to his old nest, that is, the area on the edge of the Yellow River, then he will inevitably choose the shortest route, which is naturally to go north directly along the Hetao area.

Then this place became the place where he had to pass.

Such a place is very good for Shao Zisong and their ambush. After they had checked the terrain and the two had discussed it, they began to move.

Shao Zisong led 1,500 men to ambush in the mountains and forests to the north, while Deng Qiang led the rest of his men and horses to ambush in the mountains and forests to the south. They used the trees in the mountains and forests to build a simple barrier so that they could be used when the war began.

There are many other things that must be used in ambushes. It just so happened that during the preparation period, Shao Zisong sent out the Hun soldiers he had found in advance and asked them to report to Liu Yantou.

Outside of Xiao Guan, Liu Yantou has not yet received news from Luguan. After all, not to mention that place is remote, the key is that Shao Zisong and them act quickly. So, at this time, the message has not been delivered here.

And Liu Weichen, a small group of people who escaped, was indeed as they imagined, and they didn't care about Liu Weichen's life or death at all. In other words, they didn't expect that Shao Zisong would act quickly and use the strategy they used on themselves to do it again on Liu Yantou.

"Shan Yu, Huashanjun is scolding you again!" Under Xiao Pass, Liu Yantou was resting in the tent, and the general next to him reminded.

"Damn Li Erhei, he doesn't dare to come out to fight us, he will only talk nonsense above the city, like a shrew scolding the street! When I get through this, I'll have his tongue cut out! When Liu Yantou heard this, he was a little helpless, so he had to scold.

Li Erhei sent people to scold him in Xiongnu dialect, and the scolding was very ugly. What he said about killing his brother and seizing the throne, what he said about suppressing his nephew, what he said that he wanted to betray Daiguo, and so on.

What he couldn't stand the most was Li Erhei's personal attacks on him, from his name to his appearance, and then from his preferences and abilities, etc., in short, even the eighteenth generation of his ancestors was scolded.

When he first heard these words, Liu Yantou was about to explode, and he pulled out ~ a knife on the spot, ready to rush up to duel with Li Erhei in person. If it weren't for the fateful death of the leaders of the tribes around him to stop him, he might have died in the city by now.

Anyway, it hasn't stopped in the past few days, and it is said that even the Hun soldiers under his command have begun to laugh at Liu Yantou in secret. But Liu Yantou has no choice, after all, he can't explain them one by one!

He could only order an all-out attack on Xiao Guan, and he could only think that after Xiao Guan was captured, he would have a good show of evil anger in his heart.

But no matter what, he didn't care about other things for the time being, he only thought about taking Xiao Guan down, and he didn't think that he had spent so many days here.

"Shan Yu, someone from the north is here, saying that there is something important to report to Shan Yu!" Just as Liu Yantou was sulking, the soldiers outside the door ran in to report.

"Oh? Let him in! I heard that it was someone from my hometown, Liu Yantou paid a little attention to it and hurriedly said.

Soon, several Huns ran in from outside, looking panicked.

"You don't have horses and sheep at home, stay well, what are you doing here? Not long after, Ben Shan Yu led the army back to the grassland! Seeing a few of them, Liu Yantou couldn't help frowning.

"Shan Yu, it's not good! We are the soldiers who followed General Beqi and them to Luguan! A few days ago, Liu Xibeqi and several generals somehow reached a peace agreement with the Huashan army in Luguan, and then they gave up attacking Luguan. Now, several generals have already led their troops back to the Khan's Court, saying that they are going to set up a new order! When a few small people heard about this, they escaped from that side overnight, just to report to you! Please make up your mind quickly! Several people knelt down and said in panic.

"What? Are they going to rebel? You actually want to steal my single position? I've long seen that a few of them are not pleasing to the eye! Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of a few of them, but I didn't expect that they would strike first. It's all my fault, what kind of kindness and love were you talking about at the beginning! Liu Yantou, who hadn't taken it seriously, heard this at this time, and stood up suddenly and said angrily.

"Shan Yu, what should we do now? Liu Xibei prayed that they had an army of 5,000 in hand, and there were still many people in the tribe who were loyal to Qiandanyu. If they join forces, I'm afraid they can really drive you out of place! There were Liu Yantou's cronies next to him, and he couldn't help panicking at this time.

Liu Yantou doesn't have much ability, but there is no problem for him to take over Shan Yu's position. Because his brother Liu Wuhuan died of illness, there is nothing for his younger brother to take over.

But the problem is that Liu Wuhuan is better than him, and when he was in office before, he had a group of cronies under him, and many of them had soldiers and horses.

After Liu Wuhuan died, there were two voices in the Xiongnu clan, one was succeeded by him Liu Yantou, and the other was to take Liu Xibeqi from the country and pick one of them to succeed him.

In the end, the side that supported Liu Yantou had the upper hand. His ascension to the position of Shan Yu does not mean that the other group of people are completely loyal to him.

Especially this time when he sent troops south, he took away most of the people who were loyal to him in order to be safe. At this time, the group of people who remained on the side of the Khan Court and were loyal to Liu Wuhuan accounted for the majority.

If Liu Xibeqi really led the army back to the Khan Court, Liu Wuhuan's henchmen would definitely support his son. If I go back late, I'm afraid that the people who support me over there will be eliminated.

Relying on this little bit of people on his own side alone, it will be difficult to regain Shan Yu's position. The steppe tribes were different from the Central Plains, and at this time, to a large extent, they were still in the late stage of the slave society. Therefore, the struggle for power is much more bloody.

Thinking that he might be ousted from power out of thin air, and the throne that had not been in his hands for a long time would be lost, Liu Yantou was of course not willing. What he is most afraid of is that Liu Xi will not pray that after they take power, they will kill themselves.

"No, the order will go down, and the army will return immediately. You must rush back to the Khan Court as soon as possible, and I will kill all these rebels! Almost within a few breaths, Liu Yantou had already thought of a way to deal with it.

"However, I don't know if this matter is true or not, is it a bit too hasty based on the rhetoric of a few of them?" However, at this moment, someone next to him raised an objection, feeling that Liu Yantou was too reckless to do this.
