At the end of October, the war-clouded Hedong region finally ushered in the clarion call for a big war. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As early as when Dong Zhuo led nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses into Beijing, Dong Jun had already left Niu Fu to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in Hedong, not only to ensure his own back road, but also to defend against the increasingly fierce Baibo thieves and Hun cavalry that invaded Hedong.

Once the Hedong region is completely fallen, the adjacent Hanoi County will also be difficult to protect, and the land of the three rivers is like a full momentum, once the Hedong and Hanoi are lost, the Henan region, which is only separated by a river, will fall into the dilemma of constant disturbances and three shocks a day.

After Dong Zhuo successfully entered the imperial court, he never fell behind in the war in the Hedong region, but because he had to fight wits and courage with Yuan Shaozhi and others and other unwilling to cooperate in the imperial court, he did not solve the war in this Hedong land, but just let Niu Fu divide his troops to hold Anyi, Yanjian, Puban and other county administrations, Yanchi and important thoroughfares.

Now, the battle in the court has come to an end, and the newcomers led by Yuan Shao have also begun to die down after Yuan Shao fled from the east gate, and they dare not compete with the forces of the other towns led by Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo has been dominant in the court after abolishing the Son of Heaven and eliminating dissidents in the court, and has firmly controlled the situation in the court at least on the surface.

So, in order to further his momentum, and in order to support the new son of heaven for himself, after ascending the throne, he consolidated the throne that was originally illegal. Dong Zhuo began to order the land east of the river, gather troops and horses to the county magistrate, with Niu Fu as the main general, and attack the Baibo and Xiongnu who harassed the two states and ravaged the east of the river.

At the same time, among the soldiers and horses stationed in Luoyang, after the integration of the original He brothers, Ding Yuan and Zhou soldiers and horses, and the new army of Xiyuan, the troops in Dong Zhuo's hands were also greatly enhanced. So he drew out the soldiers and horses mainly with the captain Li Dao, supplemented by Guo Yan and Zhang Ji, plus some soldiers and horses drawn from Dong Yue, Xu Rong, Duan Xuan, and the Northern Army, as the second echelon of troops, led by the third captain, a total of nearly 20,000 horses, rushed to Hedong to support Niu Fu's military operations.

After this military order was issued, Niu Fujun, who had been holding back his strength in Hedong for a long time, immediately began to act, and Niu Fu gathered all the horses that Hedong could currently gather in Anyi, plus his own Xiliang soldiers and horses, and the number was more than 10,000 people.

Although compared with the Baibo and Huns, who are known to have more than 100,000 people, Niu Fu's soldiers and horses are less than one-tenth of the thieves, but Niu Fu is stationed in Hedong and misses the great achievement of marching into Luoyang.

Moreover, in the eyes of these arrogant and fierce Xiliang soldiers, the reason why the rogues and rangers such as Bai Bo and the Xiongnu were able to wreak havoc on the lands of Hedong, Hebei and Hedong was mainly because the soldiers and horses in various counties and counties did not belong to each other and fought separately, so they were powerless to suppress them, so that these grass robbers continued to grow.

When it comes to the ferocity of the cavalry, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is really not afraid of the cavalry of other frontiers, even if it is the Hun cavalry that has wreaked havoc in the former Han Dynasty for more than 100 years, in the eyes of Niu Fu and others, these Huns are just the grasslands taken away by the Xianbei people in Mobei, and they can only be the watchdogs guarding the border of the Han Empire.

As for those white wave thieves who had no armor and were in rags, Niu Fu and the others were even more distracted. In the first year of Zhongping, millions of yellow turbans were huge, and the beacon fire burned all over half of the Han Empire, but in the hands of Huangfu Song and others, they drove troops to fight, and in a few months, the war that affected most of the empire died down, and hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans disappeared in a blink of an eye.

And these white wave thieves also need to pretend to be the name of the Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao "Great Virtuous Teacher", led by Guo Da also claimed to be Guo Daxian, in the eyes of Xiliang Bing, it is more like a person who sells his head, but he is just adding another name to the valve reading book that records his own merits.

So after being personally ordered by Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu immediately led his more than 10,000 soldiers and horses and began to attack the Baibo thieves who were harassing the county.

And the battle seemed to be as Niu Fu had expected, and it became surprisingly victorious in the battle with these grass rangers. These Baibo soldiers and horses that attacked the county were broken with one blow, and when they reached the back, the Baibo men and horses fled as soon as they saw the banner of Niu Fu and the cavalry of the Xiliang soldiers.

From Anyi to Wenxi, and then to Jiangyi and Linfen, Niu Fu led his troops to be invincible along the way, and attacked and killed several Baibo Qushuai one after another, which made Niu Fu's confidence even more inflated, and he no longer waited for the follow-up men led by the third captain, and marched directly to Baibo Valley alone.

Baibo Valley is the nest of the Baibo Army, and it is precisely on this basis that Guo Da and others have been able to continue to grow and develop, until they have merged with several places in Hebei and Hedong. So here, Niu Fu was also blocked by the main force of Guo Da of the Baibo Army based on the geographical advantage and defended according to the danger.

It's a pity that Niu Fu was earnest, and the previous war was too smooth, so he was empty-eyed, regardless of the geographical disadvantage, forced to attack, until after many forced attacks failed, a large number of people were killed and wounded, and after finding that more and more Hun cavalry blocked the road, Niu Fu realized that if he did not withdraw his army, he would soon be wiped out by Baibo and Xiongnu soldiers and horses in this Baibo Valley.

Therefore, the Niu auxiliary army hurriedly retreated from the camp outside the mouth of the valley gorge overnight, and began to retreat at night, suffering many attacks by the Hun cavalry on the way, leaving more than 2,000 corpses, before getting away from the pursuit and fleeing back to Linfen City with only five or six thousand soldiers and horses.

However, the frightened Niu Fu soon found that not only were many Hun cavalry following and chasing, but also a succession of Baibo thieves were rushing over, and soon the Baibo army and Hun cavalry surrounded Linfen City.

Niu Fu originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that these white wave thieves and Hun cavalry had not yet surrounded Linfen City, and led the troops to break through the encirclement in advance and retreat to Anyi City to hold on and wait for reinforcements, but unfortunately the Bai Bo army and the Hun cavalry became very fierce at this time, and they no longer retreated with one blow as they did in the previous battle, but instead bit the Chinese soldiers and horses where Niu Fu's banner was located, attacked in turn, blocked the retreat of Niu Fu's army, and dropped the corpses of more than a dozen soldiers almost every few steps.

Niu Fujun, who had failed to break through the siege many times, finally had to give up the already impractical method of retreating to Anyi, and Niu Fu, who was trapped in Linfen, could only send troops and horses to Anyi, Luoyang and other places to ask for help regardless of casualties, and at the same time sealed the city gates on all sides with earth and stones, and mobilized Ding Zhuang to defend Linfen City to the death.

···

And when the military letter for help arrived in Anyi, the soldiers and horses of Li Dao and others could only arrive, and these soldiers and horses who set off from Luoyang did not dare to delay since receiving the military order, and marched for several days. Cross the river from Mengjin in the north of Luoyang into Hanoi, and then follow the narrow corridor between the southern vein of Taihang Mountain and the big river, cross the Guan, and arrive at Dongyuan, which is the low place of the southern foot of Wangwu Mountain, from here over the southern foot of Wangwu Mountain, it enters the hinterland of Hedong County.

After receiving the urgent military letter sent by Niu Fu to Anyi, Li Jirao had followed Dong Zhuo to fight for many years, and he couldn't help but change color, and he didn't think that the white wave thief who thought that he was just earning military merits for everyone was so powerful that even Niu Fu was defeated. However, he quickly calmed down, and now Niu Fu is still in Linfen with the city to confront the Baibo army, and the attack is insufficient, but the elite of the Liang soldiers in the west still has the strength to protect themselves.

The most important thing now is to gather the generals who have come with them this time to discuss how to march and retreat from the enemy.

Xu Kun and Yan Xing were also soldiers and horses who rushed to support in the same batch as Li Dao, when the two of them received the news of the emergency military meeting sent by Li Dao's soldiers in the camp, Xu Kun seemed to have expected it, his eyebrows fluttered, and he slapped his palms to Yan Xing beside him and smiled:

"Yanming, I'm waiting for the opportunity to make a name for yourself!"
