"How many of them are there?"

Zhang Huan asked.

Zhang Huan led his troops to be stationed in the grassland between Wuwei and Beidi County, as early as when the enemy appeared around Shuofang County, he had already learned the news of the enemy from the mouth of the local officials, he immediately ordered all the counties and counties of Liangzhou to be under martial law, closed the city gates, and ordered Zheng Xuan to bring all the cattle and sheep grazing on the grassland to the county seat, and no one was allowed to go out, and today, there were the leaders of the Qiang people who herded and the northern land came to him, and informed him that they had met the enemy.

When the leader of the Qiang people heard Zhang Huan's inquiry, he frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "There should be more than 20,000!" There is no entourage on foot, all elite cavalry, one person and three horses, it is really the most elite troops in Xianbei, they run, the sound of horses' hooves is like thunder, it is really terrifying! Zhang Huan squinted, thought for a moment, looked at him again, and asked, "They attacked all the way to the north?" Didn't even plunder the land? ”

"No, they didn't even look at us, they just went over!"

Zhang Huan nodded, took a step forward, shook this person's hand with a smile, and said: "Thank you for your news, this kindness, I Zhang Huan has received it", the Qiang leader's originally black and red face became even more red, fragmented, speechless, Zhang Huan was stunned, then took some money from the side, handed it to his hand, this Qiang man seemed to grasp the fire burned to coal, threw it away, gritted his teeth, and said:

"We have been protected by Zhang Jun for a long time, and this time we are here in North Africa for money!"

"Just"

This person hesitated for a moment, Zhang Huan smiled and said: "If there is anything, just say it", he looked at Zhang Huan, and then he was a little ashamed and said, "We want to migrate to other places to avoid disasters, so we have those young people in the clan", Zhang Huan suddenly nodded, when he came, he brought most of the infantry of the infantry battalion, of course, there are a small number of soldiers of the Changshui battalion, and the cavalry of the Changshui battalion is less than 2,000, so naturally it cannot play the role of guarding such a huge pasture.

Therefore, he recruited a lot of young people among the Qiang people of these Xiang Han, thinking that it was for the purpose of coordinated protection, and now, tens of thousands of Xianbei troops are coming, this leader seems to be unwilling to let his children die under Xianbei's knife, Zhang Huan is not angry, not angry, he just hires these people for his own use, they have no obligation to accompany themselves to fight to the death with the enemy, he smiled, and said to the soldiers outside the door: "Go and withdraw Cherry to me and call me!" ”

This Cheriku is the most courageous warrior among the Qiang people's pawns, everyone is convinced, so Zhang Huan also used this person to command many Qiang people's soldiers, and after a while, the tall, majestic and powerful Cheriqu strode in, looked at the leader on the side, but first saluted to Zhang Huan, then looked at the leader saluted, and said: "Father! This person is the son of the leader of the Qiang people.

"Cheriqi, something happened to your tribe, there is a small group of Xianbei thieves raging, I want to send you to lead the Qiang warriors back to help your tribe!" Zhang Huan said directly, Cherry heard it, nodded quickly, and said: "Yes", he looked at the leader, the leader sighed, he knew Zhang Huan's kindness, and bowed to Zhang Huan heavily, before pulling Cherry to retreat, many Qiang warriors rode on horses, and quickly rushed towards the direction of the tribe.

Zhang Huan stood at the door of the tent, saw them off, Cheri withdrew his head, and could still see the smiling Zhang Huan waving at him from a distance, Che Li felt that something was wrong, but because of the tribal affairs, he was a little anxious, and left directly with thousands of Qiang people, and the military Sima on the side sighed and said: "Such an important war, why did you want to let them go?" ”

"Hahaha, without them, wouldn't we be the opponents of the Xianbei people?"

"Gather the troops, let's go to the Northland, and then teach a lesson to this little cub!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Huan gathered a large army, ordered the infantry army to stay behind and march into Wuwei, protect Zheng Xuan and other officials, ploughing cattle and other baggage, with them sitting in Wuwei, they were not afraid of their surprise attack on Liangzhou, Zhang Huan made people play Luoyang, and he led only more than 2,000 cavalry, rushed to Beidi County!!

And under the rush of the herald scouts, Luoyang and four days later, he had already got Zhang Huan's play, the little fat man looked at it seriously, Zhang Huan mentioned that this is a large-scale invasion of Xianbei, because the enemy is at least the number of the two Xianbei combined, and if the two Xianbei want to merge, they must get the consent of Tanshi Huai, so Xianbei should still have a rear army, and it is very likely that the old thief of Tanshi Huai personally led the troops.

And these vanguard troops sent are more like bait, Zhang Huan proposed that Xianbei may have three conspiracies, first, they want to deceive themselves to the north, and then seize Liangzhou, second, they want to cut off the connection between Liangzhou and the Western Regions, and then march into the Western Regions, third, they want to wipe themselves and the northern army in the north, and then plot to do other, he thinks, Xianbei is very likely to want to invade Liangzhou!

He needs the assistance of the imperial court, please send Duan Cheng, but don't let Duan Cheng come directly to the north, Duan Cheng had better make a detour from Hanoi to Shuofang, wrap up their back road, and completely leave the Xianbei army in Liangzhou, and eliminate the henchmen of this big man, in addition, let the Youhe border army harass the Xianbei rear, if you can, you can borrow the Xiongnu, or the Wuhuan armed forces to eliminate the Xianbei forces.

After reading this thick recital, the little fat man felt a lot, he didn't convene the court, nor did he tell too many people, but just called Duan Cheng over again and handed him this Zhang Huan's recital, Duan Cheng was extremely serious, read it word by word, frowned, and said with some distress: "Xianbei has many cavalry, come and go freely, blocking the passage of Shuofang County, they can turn to escape from Wuwei"

"However, if I only lead cavalry, march in a hurry, and wait for the time to make a rapid attack, even if I can't wipe out all Xianbei, I will definitely be greatly injured! In addition, if Dong Zhuozhi's plan comes true, Xianbei will no longer have the strength to fight with the Han for decades! Duan Cheng frowned and said, the little fat man nodded, and said, "In this way, this matter will be handed over to you!" Duan Cheng nodded, and was about to take the order to go out, when the little fat man suddenly said:

"In the past, the general sacrificed the people or grain and grass for the sake of victory, and I could bear it, but General Zhang can't be a sacrifice!"

Duan Cheng was stunned for a moment, and arched his hand and said, "The minister must go all out to rescue General Zhang!" ”

The little fat man let him leave with confidence, Duan Cheng's tent includes the Northern Army, the Southern Army, etc., a total of tens of thousands of cavalry, these are the most elite troops of the Han Dynasty, Duan Cheng did not bring other battalions, but he still transferred a lot of captains Sima for his own use, and in this way, this army has become more elite, because this cavalry, the commander is composed of warriors like Zhang Ji and Dian Wei.

And in the middle level, there are generals like Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song.

Of course, there is also the famous general leader of Duan Cheng, after Duan Cheng quietly gathered many cavalry, before the curfew ended, he quietly left Luoyang with his soldiers, he wanted to be the fastest speed, the most secret way, from the sky, to bring these Xianbei a surprise, he has never fought with Xianbei, and before all of them fought with the Qiang people, and the name of Tanshi Huai, he has also heard it for a long time, this time, he can finally fight with this guy!
