More than the sum of the losses of the Han army against the Qiang people in the previous months, at this time Zhang Wen realized that he had underestimated the strength of the Qiang people, although the Qiang people retreated in a hurry, so that the Han army seized the opportunity, but now the Qiang people have given the Han army a painful lesson.

Dong Zhuo led the army to pursue, and the performance was more cautious, after learning the news of the defeat of the two Han armies, the marching speed was even slower, but Dong Zhuo besieged the Qiang people in the north of Wangyuan County, and in the face of the Qiang army in front, Dong Zhuo did not dare to easily confront it.

Pretending to be a soldier with insufficient military rations, he blocked the embankment in Weishui to fish, cut off the water flow, and directly led the army to leave, and after the Qiang people found out, Dong Zhuo had led the army away.

At this point, three of the five armies pursuing the Qiang people have retreated, and Dong Zhuo's fate is relatively good, and he retreats with his whole body.

Compared to the other four teams, Zhao Yun led the cavalry to advance extremely fast.

At this time, Zhao Yun set his sights on the grain road of the Qiang army, the most important thing for the army to fight is rice grain, if there is a lack of grain and grass in the army, even if Beigong Yu has a high prestige among the Qiang people, it is difficult to command the Qiang army to continue the war.

More than 2,000 cavalry, the whereabouts are erratic, occasionally encounter the cavalry of the Qiang people, and do not dare to come forward to compete with it, when the Qiang army arrives, Zhao Yun has already led the cavalry to leave.

After the news about the unfavorable battle of the Han army came, Zhao Yun was in a solemn mood, and when the Qiang people were evacuated, they were at an absolute disadvantage, but they did not expect that in the blink of an eye, the three pursuit teams ended in failure.

Zhao Yun even suspected that the Qiang people's active retreat before was a conspiracy.

showed weakness, so that the Han army thought that the combat effectiveness of the Qiang people was no more than that, so they rushed forward and defeated the Han army one after another.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Yun denied this idea, the chaos of the Qiang people when they retreated was not pretended, and when they faced the pursuit of their own army, the loss was not small.

"General, the three teams have retreated, and General Zhang Wen has no intention of continuing the pursuit, so why don't we retreat just like that." Lejin Road.

Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "No, at this moment, the other four armies have not made the slightest achievement, if our army can win against the Qiang people, this kind of merit is definitely incomparable to others." ”

"The general's words are reasonable." Dian Wei, who has never expressed an opinion, echoed.

"Wen Qian, you are in charge of the scouts, you should be cautious, there are a lot of cavalry among the Qiang people, once they are discovered, they must be guarded." Zhao Yun admonished.

"The last general commands." Lejin holds his fist.

At this time, Zhao Yun led the cavalry and stayed away from the army, and the dry food carried by the officers and soldiers in the army was only enough for five days, that is, three days at most, no matter whether he did anything or not, Zhao Yun could only choose to lead the army to leave.

The cavalry marched fast on the battlefield, and it was still easy to leave the battlefield.

After Le Jin left, Zhao Yun fell into deep thought, at this time, among the Qiang army, it was not Beigong Yu who posed the greatest threat to the Han army, but Han Sui, who gave advice to Beigong Yu, and this kind of old fox was the most difficult to deal with.

After successive battles, the cavalry under Zhao Yun was sharply reduced to 2,300 people, but the number of war horses in the team reached more than 3,600, and many cavalry even reached one person and two horses.

One person is equipped with two horses, which is the treatment that only the Xianbei elite cavalry on the grassland can enjoy, and on the way forward, changing the war horse can always maintain a very fast speed.

Wolf Valley, an important road for the right wind to go to Anding County, if you go to Anding County from here, it can save a day's travel for the foot soldiers, and Zhao Yun is in the vicinity of Wolf Valley to inquire about the news.

The grain route of a large army is definitely the most hidden, and Zhou Shen was defeated by the Qiang people precisely because of the leakage of the news of the grain route.

The Qiang army, at this time, is fighting with the Han army on the right side of the wind, it seems that they want to teach the Han army a hard lesson before retreating, in fact, the Qiang army has been successful in the war during the retreat, and the Han army will definitely not advance lightly after suffering losses.

The Qiang army is tens of thousands, and the daily consumption is innumerable, so they naturally need support in terms of grain and grass.

Two days later, Zhao Yun did not wait for news of the enemy's food and grass, but the scouts found the cavalry of the Qiang people.

The importance of the Wolf Valley, Zhao Yun could think of it, how could Han Sui not take it into account, and there was no trace of Zhao Yun leading the cavalry on the battlefield, which gave Han Sui a sense of unease, he gave advice to the Qiang people, it must have leaked out, he had no way out, only to help the Qiang people get more victories against the Han army, in order to have enough capital to negotiate terms with the imperial court.

It was Li Wenhou who led the cavalry to clear the way for the army.

At this time, the morale of the Qiang cavalry was high, and the previous defeat was swept away, and the successive victories made the confidence of the Qiang people high.

Zhao Yun hurriedly ordered the cavalry to return to the vicinity of the Wolf Valley, if the Qiang cavalry was allowed to see the Han cavalry at such a time, they would definitely be suspicious.

"General, there are about 3,000 Qiang people, what should I do?" Lejin asked.

Zhao Yun said: "You personally lead the scouts to investigate the news, and you must not let the Qiang people discover our traces." ”

"Whoa." Lejin holds his fist.

Detecting news is a dangerous thing, which is also the reason why the scouts in the army are elite, if you can't guarantee the elite of the soldiers, and it is difficult to even guarantee your own safety when probing the news, how can you send the news back.

If you find out the news without alarming the enemy army, you will have higher requirements.

In the afternoon, Lejin returned to the army.

"General, the Qiang people gathered three miles away from our army to rest, and the precautions were not strict." Lejin Road.

Zhao Yun nodded, "Order the cavalry, rest in place, and be sure to ensure quiet." ”

"Rest?" Le Jin was puzzled: "General, it's still early at this time. ”

"Just follow the order, Ben will have his own strategy to destroy the enemy." Zhao Yun said with confidence, judging from the reaction of the Qiang people, it is clear that they do not know that there is a cavalry of the Han army nearby, and if they are surprised, they can indeed cause a lot of casualties to the Qiang people, but the Qiang cavalry has experienced many battles, and after a short period of panic, they will bring trouble to their own cavalry.

At night, the situation is very different.

Li Wenhou led the cavalry, near the Wolf Valley, in order to ensure the safety of the retreat road of the army, and the vigilance of the cavalry in the army was reduced, which was also reasonable.

The successive battles brought a lot of pressure to the Qiang soldiers, and they needed to rest well.
