The Qilin Army and the Lion Army were stationed in Dunhuang City for five days.

At dusk on the fifth day, Zhang Liao and Ma Chao received Li Mu's general order.

Li Mu ordered Zhang Liao and Ma Chao to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack the Juyan vassal state north of Jiuquan County and under the jurisdiction of Zhangye County.

Li Mu paid another secret letter, and when Zhang Liao and Ma Chao broke through the Juyan vassal state, they could open it.

Zhang Liao and Ma Chao did not dare to slack off, and summoned the generals of the three armies to come to discuss the matter.

……

Dunhuang City Mansion!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Lord has ordered us to attack the subject country of Juyan, do you have a good plan to break the enemy?" Zhang Liao said loudly.

"The strength of Juyan's vassal state is mainly concentrated in Juyanze, which is lower in weak water. If our army sends troops from Dunhuang City to attack the subject country of Juyan, there are two ways to choose. Cheng Gongying groaned.

"Which two paths, Mr. Cheng Gong can tell me about it." Ma Chao groaned.

"On the first road, our army went out of Dunhuang City, entered Anmi and Jinshui in the north of Jiuquan County, and then marched north along the weak water. The road is flat and close, making it easier to march! Cheng Gongying said loudly.

Cheng Gongying saw that everyone was listening carefully, and then said: "The second way is that our army will go out of Dunhuang City, cross the Great Wall from the line of Xiaogu in Dunhuang County, and march along the northeast direction, so that you can directly reach Juyanze. It's just that the road is full of deserts and Gobi, and I'm afraid it's hard to see even the water source used by the army. And it's a much longer road. ”

The crowd fell into deep thought......

"The first way, though easy to march, is easier to be spotted by the enemy. The second path, though a bit treacherous, can be a surprise. Wenyuan, what do you think? ”

After a long time, Ma Chao said angrily.

"What Meng Qi said is exactly what I want. However, we have to use both of these roads! Zhang Liao stroked his palms and laughed.

"Wen Yuan wants to use the first road as a suspicious soldier?" Ma Chao groaned.

"Exactly!"

Zhang Liao then said in a deep voice: "Immediately order Hu Du and Feng Xi to raise 8,000 county soldiers, go out of Anmi and Jinshui, drum up the momentum all the way, slowly march the army, and march north along the weak water to live in Yanze. ”

The herald received Zhang Liao's general order, left Dunhuang City, and Pegasus rushed to Lufu City in Jiuquan County and Zhaowu City in Zhangye County.

Zhang Liao and Ma Chao handed over the political affairs and civil affairs of Dunhuang County to Cheng Gongying, and handed over the military defense to Wu Lan and Ma Xiu.

It was night, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, and Pang De led the Qilin Army and the Lion Army to ride 10,000 horses, one person and two horses, and went out of Dunhuang City.

……

At dusk the next day, Hu Du and Feng Xi received Zhang Liao's order to send troops, and the two did not dare to slack off, so they selected 8,000 county soldiers, went out of Anmi and Jinshui, and marched north along the weak water to live in Yanze.

Hu Du and Feng Xi's northward army claimed to have 20,000 horses, and they only marched 50 miles a day.

Three days later, when the northward army was about 130 miles away from Juyanze, the leader of Juyan's vassal state, Yebku, received the news that the Han army was advancing north into Juyanze.

When Yebr heard that the Han army had 20,000 horses, he was shocked, and hurriedly summoned his generals Wo Qu Key and Wo Ye Key to come to the discussion.

After some deliberation between the three of them, Yebu and Wo Yekey led an army of 18,000 people to meet the Han army, and Wo Qu Key led 10,000 people to guard the camp of Juyanze.

……

However, it is said that Zhang Liao and the three of them led the army out of Dunhuang City, all the way non-stop, and crossed the Great Wall in Xiaogu the next day and entered the endless desert.

The Han army braved the wind and sand and dust, all the way day and night, and rushed to Juyanze.

Five days later, the Han army suffered from a water outage, and some soldiers suffered from heat stroke and coma due to the hot weather and lack of water replenishment in their bodies.

Ma Chao immediately suggested killing the horse and drinking horse blood and horse urine, Zhang Liao saw that there was no better way, so he agreed to Ma Chao's suggestion.

Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, and Pang De took the lead in drinking horse urine and horse blood, and the soldiers of the Han army were moved when they saw that the main general was still like this, and they followed Zhang Liao and others one after another.

Most of the comatose soldiers who drank horse urine and horse blood were relieved, and some of them stayed in the Yellow Sand Desert forever!

"Soldiers, we are deeply loved by the lord. This time the westward expedition to the three counties of Hexi, all the way was like a bamboo, and the attack on Juyanze was the last battle of the westward expedition. At this critical moment, do we have to live up to the trust of the lord and the expectations of the people of Liangzhou! ”

Zhang Liao looked at the more than 9,000 soldiers with unkempt faces in front of him, and shouted loudly.

"Go ahead! Swear allegiance to the Lord! Ma Chao and Pang De took the lead in shouting.

Han Jun then shouted: "Go forward!" Swear allegiance to the Lord! ”

Zhang Liao saw that the morale of the whole army was high, so he ordered to continue the march.

……

Day 5, on the banks of the weak water!

The Han army and the Juyan rebel army, the two armies held each other, and the two formations were in a circle.

Hu Du slapped his horse out of the battle, and shouted in a deep voice: "Listen to the people on the other side, I am Hu Du, the captain of Zhaoxin under the command of the Liangzhou Assassin and the General of Zhengxi, and I have come to take over the subject country of Juyan. ”

"I am the Captain of Juyan's subordinate country, I have received the emperor's favor in the world, and I have lived in Juyanze, I have never had two hearts, and I also ask the fox captain to leave quickly! Hugh is going to hurt his colleagues! ”

Jebus stood in the middle of the array and replied.

"Yebku, you disobeyed the orders of the gods, Yang Feng and Yin, and now you are leading the army to stop my Liangzhou army, it is clear that you have two hearts and intend to rebel! Dismount and surrender at this time, and you will be spared death. Otherwise, you will be in a different place! ”

Fox Du shouted in a deep voice.

"It's so deceitful! Wo Qu Spoon, kill the fox and dog thief in me! Jebr roared.

Woye spoon dragged the knife and took the fox directly. Before the fox could step forward with a gun, Feng Xi had already stepped out of the battle with a flying horse and a knife.

In a short period of time, Feng Xi and Woye Key have exchanged horses for more than 20 rounds. Feng Xi became more and more courageous, the long knife in his hand swept left and right, resisting the front and back, and forcing Woye Key to only have the power to parry. Suddenly, Feng Xi roared and slashed Woye under the horse with a knife.

"General Fox, if you don't wave your troops to cover up at this time, when will you stay?"

After Feng Xi finished roaring, he rode his horse and killed the enemy with a knife. Seeing that the rebel army in Juyan was in chaos, Hu Du was afraid that Feng Xi would make a mistake, so he waved his troops to cover up and kill.

Besides, Yebu was shocked when he saw his subordinate Wo Yeqi die tragically in front of the battle, and he was even more shocked when he saw the Han army waving his troops to kill.

Yebr hurriedly patted his horse back to the battle, and fled after looking at the formation, and when the rebels of Juyan saw that the lord was fleeing for his life, they could not care about forming a formation against the enemy, and began to flee in all directions.

Hu Du and Feng Xi went straight forward, chasing and killing the Juyan rebels for more than 20 miles. Hu Du saw that there were many rebels, and the soldiers of the county were not elite soldiers in a hundred battles. If you chase it any further, you will be afraid that you will be calculated by the Juyan rebels, so you will stop the army and accept it when you see it.

The Han army slowly retreated back to the camp, collecting ordnance and horses discarded by the rebels along the way. Feng Xi led an army of 2,000 and personally cut off the rear.

In this battle, the Han army lost more than 800 people; beheaded more than 3,000 rebels in Juyan; More than 2,000 usable war horses were captured, and the ordnance seized was not counted!

After this battle, the Han army and the Juyan rebels were stationed on the bank of the weak water river, more than 50 miles apart, and they could not hold each other!
