Seeing Li Xin's heroic fighting posture, the six sons and other personal soldiers couldn't help but be greatly encouraged, and they fought Hu Cai one after another. Although the number was a little smaller, the battle between the two sides lasted less than a pillar of incense before it was completely over.

None of these Hu cavalry in front of him escaped, and in the end, they were completely annihilated by Li Xin and them.

The six sons led people to clean up the battlefield on the side, and Li Xin sat on horseback, looking into the distance and not knowing what he was thinking.

"General, these Hu cavalry should be Huns! It seems that it may be a tribe of the Huns! "Not long after, the sixth son came to report.

"O Huns! This is not surprising at all, after all, the Hetao area, the northern part south of the Yellow River, has been occupied by the Xiongnu for many years. What I didn't expect was that they were so close to us, though! Li Xin was silent for a moment before he spoke.

The Xiongnu suffered heavy losses during the Han Dynasty, and some of them have been dependent on the Han Dynasty for survival. In order to settle them, the emperors of the Han Dynasty often set up cities in the north and let them live there.

Over time, these people slowly moved to the south, and the population increased, and gradually bordered the land where the Han people lived. Later, when the world was in turmoil and the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty was weak, they began to oppose the guest.

Today's Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi, and the Hetao in Ningxia to the west, have almost become the places of the Hu people. Of course, the Hu people in it have basically migrated over the past few hundred years, including not only the Xiongnu, but also other Hu tribes such as the Di and Qiang peoples.

But in the north, the Huns now occupy the main body. As for the clan, it is Fu Jian, and most of them live in the area of Qinzhou in Longxi. This is also the reason why Li Xin did not immediately attack Fu Sheng and them, because on that side, Fu Sheng and they occupied the advantages of the people.

In a short period of time, they gathered an army of fifty or sixty thousand, which was inseparable from the support of the local Qiang nobles. There are also some other Hu ethnic groups in Qinzhou, Longxi, who basically supported the Fu Qin regime at this time, and in comparison, they have a natural distrust of the Han regime of the Huashan Army.

Therefore, Li Xin has been waiting, waiting for an opportunity, but also giving himself a chance to recuperate. But now it seems that the problem in the west has not been solved, and there may be another problem in the north.

"Now in the cold winter season, these Huns want to come out to do some activities, not necessarily for us. The Northland is a vast area, and the Hu people are scattered among them, so it is too easy to meet some Hu people. In the opinion of their subordinates, they may not have the courage to dare to attack our Huashan army, not to mention that we are guarding the passes of the straight road to the south! The sixth son understood Li Xin's worries and couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Maybe! Packed up? Let's go back!? Li Xin nodded, then glanced at him, turned his horse's head and hurried back in the direction of Fuyuan Pass.

After returning to Fuyuan Pass, the captain guarding the pass couldn't help but be startled when he learned that Li Xin and them had been attacked, and immediately came to ask for guilt.

"The last general was derelict in his duty and failed to protect the general, please punish the general!"

"Get up! It's none of your business, and besides, haven't we come back safely! Li Xin smiled, without meaning to blame.

"The last general should send more people to follow, if the general has any mistakes, the last general will die, and it is difficult to escape the blame!" The lieutenant said.

Li Xin's status in the Huashan Army is beyond the outside, and it can be said that Li Xin is not the only general in the army who can fight! But no one can become the spiritual pillar of the Huashan Army like him, neither Zhou Tong nor Li Erhei can do this.

Because Li Xin brought not only victory, but also a spiritual change, a fusion of faith and will. He kneaded the entire Huashan Army together to form a strong, combat-ready and ideal group, which is the most important thing.

Therefore, if something really happens to Li Xin, the consequences will be very serious for Huashanjun. At that time, I am afraid that this captain will really be shameless in the face of other robes, and at this time, he can't help but regret that he didn't send more people to protect him before.

"It doesn't have to be like this, there are a lot of people in our industry, and the other party is just a little bit more people. However, this incident reminded me that in the future, I am afraid that what you will have to defend here in the future is not only the threat that may come from Fu Qin in the west, but also those Hu people in the north. You must always pay attention to the fact that this is a fortress to defend the Northland, and once you are broken through here, the Hu people can ~ drive straight ~ into it and go straight south. Although there are still many passes in the south, this place is no better than others, so you have to be very careful! Seeing his sincere and frightened look, Li Xin was also a little helpless, and after thinking for a while, he admonished.

"Yes, the last general must secretly pay attention to the movements in the north after that!"

"Go down first! I'll take a break! Li Xin nodded and sent him down.

That night, he stayed at Fuyuan Pass, and when he had time, he looked around.

This Fuyuan Pass is a major pass on the straight road to the Yellow River in the north of the Qin Dynasty, and the surrounding terrain is dangerous, controlling all directions, and Li Xin is of course particularly concerned about this place.

"Eight hundred, guarding the gate should be enough. With the sturdiness and danger of this pass, even if the enemy army is coming, it will be able to hold out for a long time. The straight road to the south should be repaired to facilitate the passage of the army, so that if there is any war here, Guanzhong will be able to quickly support! After some inspection, Li Xinzhong already had a more detailed understanding.

"General, general, Captain Peng, they're back!" On this day, while Li Xin was standing on the top of a mountain, looking at the snow-capped world around him, a messenger arrived from the direction of Fuyuan Pass and informed him of the good news.

"Oh, it seems that this war should be over!" Hearing the news, Li Xin immediately reacted, didn't say much, and immediately rushed back to Fuyuan Pass.

In the small frustration source pass, at this time, it was suddenly a lot more lively, and an army of three thousand poured in at once, so it was strange if it was not lively. These people were gathering around the fire, and many of them were falling asleep by the fire, and the heat was constantly coming out of their clothes.

"General, ...... general!" Seeing Li Xin coming, Peng Lin hurriedly stood up and saluted. However, the middle was interrupted by Li Xin.

"Let's go out and talk! Let's take a rest in peace! Li Xin raised his hand and pointed outside.

Standing outside the Fuyuan Pass, Li Xin looked at Peng Lin, who had a stubble beard, and there were dark black marks on many places on his body, which should have been left after the blood had dried up. Moreover, there was obviously a look of exhaustion on his whole face. Obviously, they fought very hard in this battle.

"Long story short! Let's start with a rough idea! As for the process, you can just submit a detailed copy to me in a few days! Seeing him like this, Li Xin was not prepared to take up too much of his time.

Seeing this, Peng Lin immediately spoke. Although the entire narration process is less than ten minutes, Li Xin knows that it is difficult.

Previously, after Peng Lin had set up his manpower, he launched the attack. To the north, 2,000 soldiers and horses were distributed in the Beiluoshui River Valley in the southeast of Guzhilu County, completely blocking this road.

Then, he took 2,000 cavalry from the west of Xiayang along the Beiluoshui all the way north, unfolded the formation, and slowly approached the horse bandits. The first three days were uneventful, and on the fourth day, they finally found the place where the bandits had stayed, an abandoned village.

The two sides fought in the snow, and the bandits were fierce and cunning. After the first battle, Peng Lin's cavalry lost more than a dozen. And the other party saw that Peng Lin had a large number of people, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately fled north.

Along the way, these horse bandits took advantage of their familiarity with the local terrain and tried to escape Peng Lin's pursuit several times, and various tricks emerged one after another. But after a battle, Peng Lin had some new understanding of these horse bandits, so he no longer pursued hard battles.

No matter what tricks the other party used, he only led the army to stay closely behind them. When the opponent accelerated, he also accelerated, and when the opponent stopped, he sent his troops and horses to attack.

So, for a few days, the horse bandits were about to be driven crazy. They were different from the Huashan army, they were carrying dry food, and because they were suddenly attacked, they fled directly without anything on them.

As a result, their physical exertion is very high over the course of a few days. I couldn't fight and couldn't fight, I couldn't escape and I couldn't escape, and in the end I was forced to run quickly to the north. They knew that the Huashan Army had originally deployed a thousand troops in Xiangluo County, but they did not take these foot soldiers into account.

But what they don't know is that at this time, the north and the south have formed a linkage. Moreover, what awaits them in the north is not a thousand troops, but two thousand, and they are waiting for them to get into it.

As a result, when the bandits marched into a valley, they found in despair that the road ahead was heavily guarded, and the pursuers behind them were not far from them. Now in this situation, they have to fight hard.

As a result, not a single one of the more than 800 horse bandits escaped. Because these people are cruel on weekdays, the order given by Li Xin is not to stay. This time, the bandit trouble in the northwest of Xiayang can be regarded as a complete solution.

How difficult the process of chasing the enemy in the ice and snow was, Li Xin can imagine.

At the end of the year, most of the problems of bandits around Guanzhong were finally solved, which was good news for him. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
