"I wonder what the prince plans to do next?" Lu Bu hesitated, but couldn't help but ask.

Xu Ding looked at the Huns outside the city and said: "You said that Luan Ti Yuvluo is dead, and the entire Zuo Xian Wang Department is basically destroyed, what will Luan Ti Qiang Qu do if he knows the truth?" ”

Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "He will definitely come back to take revenge and retake Jiuyuan City!" ”

Seeing that Xu Ding didn't reply, Lu Bu said again: "The marquis wants to fight with him here?" ”

When he asked this, Lu Bu was eager to try, Jiuyuan is his hometown, his biological father Lu Liang died here, as a native of Jiuyuan City, no matter what aspect he is obliged to stay and fight Luan Tiqiang Canal.

Xu Ding still didn't reply to Lu Bu's words, but silently went down the city wall, and then walked through every big blue street and alley in Jiuyuan City on foot.

Only Lu Bu and Tian Yu followed.

——————

Shuo Fang!

Zhao Yun pretended to be the main force to feint and attack the chicken deer stopper, firmly attracting the attention of the right valley Liwang Department.

In order to buy more time for Xu Ding, he did not retreat until the army of Luanti Qiangqu crossed the Yellow River and was only fifty or sixty miles away from Jilusai.

"Duwei, I found traces of the Huns in the north, and I am afraid that it will not work to go north to Wuyuan County!"

So Zhao Yun took a thousand generals to the southeast.

Soon the Tancai came back and reported: "Duwei, the Huns have deployed a large number of soldiers and horses along the Yellow River, and we are afraid that we will not be able to cross the river." ”

The north and south were blocked, and everyone looked at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yundao: "Since the north and south can't go, then let's kill it head-on and fight a bloody way from the main force of the Huns." ”

All the soldiers generously raised their arms and called, expressing their willingness to follow Zhao Yun to meet the main force of the Xiongnu.

Just as Zhao Yun was about to take them off, Zhao Yun's subordinate Zhao Ling said, "Captain, didn't the lord give you a tip?" Now should be considered a time for a great crisis, it should be possible to take it apart! ”

Zhao Yun glanced at Zhao Ling, this Zhao Ling was not only his general, but also his clansman of Zhaojiazhuang, because of his good martial arts, he was recommended to go to the martial arts competition, and then the top ten were finally arranged by Xu Ding to be the middle-level general of the Sixth Army.

Zhao Yun nodded, and then took out the bag from his arms that Xu Ding gave before leaving.

When I opened it, although my eyebrows were stretched, my face was still a little dignified.

"Captain, what are the instructions of the lord?" The generals asked.

Zhao Yun said: "The lord said that if we can't go north and south, persuade me not to break through head-on, you can wipe and go west!" ”

Heading west?

Isn't that the Gobi Desert?

How to get around the vast desert?

"He said that although there may be a shortage of water when going west, he sent a team of 100 people in advance to prepare there, as long as he follows the guidance of the guide, he can safely go out, get out of the desert, enter Liangzhou, and return to Donglai from Liangzhou." Zhao Yun said with emotion.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ding made this preparation.

"The lord has thought of a way out for us!" Everyone was overjoyed and moved.

Sure enough, the lord is still wise, and it was expected that they would delay for a long time, so I arranged these early.

"Let's go!" Since Xu Ding arranged these, Zhao Yun naturally took people to the destination according to what was said in the bag.

Sure enough, there is a hundred-man soldier of the Donglai Army here, as well as a few intelligence officers from the Tianluo Net, waiting here.

With them leading the way, an army of 1,000 people went into the desert.

When the main force of Luan Tiqiang Qu chased after him, he could only look at the sand and sigh.

"What a cunning Han army?" It's not that you can't chase it, it's that there's no point.

Luan Tiqiangqu understood that if he wanted to chase it, he couldn't intercept this Han cavalry, but he knew that he had been fooled when he chased it here.

The Han army attacking Jinlusai was only a part, and the main force of the Donglai cavalry was no longer in Shuofang.

Sure enough, he soon received the news that Xu Ding took the main Donglai army to Wuyuan County.

And his eldest son, Luan Tiyufuluo, was captured by the Han army.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the first person in the Han Dynasty, both civil and military, and he dares to break into Jiuyuan City to rob people!" Luan Tiqiangqu received the letter from Wuyuan County, and couldn't help but be respected by Xu Ding's boldness.

It's just that a day later, he doesn't have this heroic spirit.

Because Zuo Xianwang's troops were almost completely wiped out, Luan Ti Yufuluo was killed, and Jiuyuan City was recaptured by the Han army.

Naught!

Four words filled his mind at this time.

The Jiuyuan City that was finally laid down is gone.

And the Zuo Xian Wang Department was defeated like this.

After careful calculation, Xu Dingyi defeated three of his five Xiongnu tribes, and the only one who had not fought was Wang Ting.

"Send troops to Jiuyuan City." Whatever the reason, Luan Tiqiangqu eventually led the army towards Jiuyuan City.

At this time, only the Donglai army remained, and all the rescued people fled to Dingxiang and went to Taiyuan County.

A few days later, when the Xiongnu army arrived, Luan Tiqiangqu looked at the particularly dazzling Jingguan outside the city, waved his hand and set it on fire, and then set up camp.

The next day, Luan Tiqiang Canal launched an attack.

The attack was quite fierce, and Luanti Qiangqu not only had the main force of soldiers and horses of the first part of the royal court, but also the main force of the other Xiongnu troops.

A total of more than 30,000 elites, plus about 20,000 other miscellaneous troops, 50,000 troops fought from noon to dark, and then they returned to the camp.

The next day, the attack continued, the Xiongnu other troops were the mainstay, with the non-stop attack of Zahu, and it was another day of hard fighting, and the city was still firmly held in the hands of Xu Ding and others.

"Lord, Luan Tiqiang Canal has attacked too hard, and if we continue to fight like this, we will also suffer a lot of losses, so it is better to withdraw from Wuyuan County." Xia Houlan wiped and persuaded.

In fact, there is no point in guarding Jiuyuan City.

The Donglai army is a cavalry, and giving full play to the advantages of rangers is the right way.

"Don't persuade you, the people are in the city, the onslaught of the Huns will not last long, soon they will be tired, as long as we can drag on for a long time, there is still a chance to fully recover the five plains." Xu Ding shook his head and did not accept the idea of giving up the city.

Not to mention, on the third day, the Huns were not attacking, but holding each other.

For the next ten days, the two sides only confronted each other, and there was no fighting.

On the eleventh day, Xu Ding and others finally waited for the news of the imperial court.

It's just that when they saw the edict sent by the imperial court, everyone was silent.

"Damn! Undefeated and defeated! ”

The silence was followed by anger among the people.

It turned out that the edict was to the effect that they should give up Jiuyuan City and give up the entire Wuyuan City to the Southern Xiongnu, and the imperial court sent an envoy to re-recruit the Southern Xiongnu.

And the Southern Xiongnu also expressed their willingness to serve the Han Dynasty and would manage Shuofang and Wuyuan and other places.

The reason for all this is that Xianbei, the lord of the grassland in the north, found that the Southern Xiongnu rebelled against the Han and attacked Wuyuan, and repeatedly defeated the soldiers and horses of the state.

So Xianbei went south, plundered Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and attacked the Yanmen area, threatening the inner Great Wall.

At the same time, Hedong Guo Tai, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai and others rose up in Baibo Valley, called the Baibo Army, gathered 100,000 people, and attacked Taiyuan County and Hedong County.

Therefore, out of the policy of settling the outside world and first settling the interior, it became necessary to pacify the Southern Xiongnu.
