Liaodong's enthusiasm gave everyone hope, such a large population, and such unity, any enemy who came to face not one or two thousand troops, but millions of people.

Ye Chen was very happy to receive this news, at least he was successful, at least he won the hearts of the people of Liaodong.

"Second brother, Yun Chang, just received good news." Ye Chen and Guan Yu were in the tent, and Tai Shici, who was on duty, came to them excitedly.

Ye Chen is still in the area of Yangle and Linyu, afraid that the Xiongnu will suddenly kill the horse, and Ye Chen and they will help Gongsun Du stabilize the situation here.

"Oh, what makes Big Brother so happy."

Tai Shi Ci looked at Ye Chen and Guan Yu and said excitedly: "Gongsun Chan ambushed the Xiongnu army in the Lingzhi area and inflicted heavy losses on the Xiongnu. Killed more than 7,000 enemies. ”

"Okay, Gongsun Chan finally appeared, and he was a blockbuster as soon as he appeared." Although Ye Chen had a strong premonition and knew that Gongsun Zhan would definitely appear to fight with the Huns, but without news from him for a day, he would not be at ease for a day.

"How's Gongsun Chan doing?" Guan Yu was also excited, he was excited that the Huns would be hit hard again, and he would have the opportunity to completely destroy them.

"It's not good. More than half of the casualties were killed, he had brought 8,000 soldiers and horses before, but Jixian County was attacked, he secretly let 3,000 people to support Liu Yu, fortunately Lingzhi was where his family was located, he used the power of the family to temporarily recruit more than 10,000 people from major families, and then ambushed the Huns. ”

"Although it was an ambush, both sides suffered heavy losses, with more than 7,000 casualties each, but fortunately, Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong suffered little losses."

Tai Shi Ci briefly said the information, this Gongsun Zan was very calm, he disappeared after the Xiongnu entered Yuyang County, making people think that he was afraid of running away, or simply ignored him.

But he has been actively preparing, the Xiongnu hit the right Beiping gave him enough preparation for the family, the Gongsun family has a great influence in Lingzhi, and he is the Taishou of Liaoxi, so he can mobilize the resources of the major families.

The major families also knew what would happen if Liaoxi was occupied by the Huns, and Gongsun Chan was his own person, so they all vigorously supported him, which also gave Gongsun Chan the conditions to ambush the Huns, otherwise with his strength of about 5,000 people, there would be absolutely no way to inflict heavy losses on the Huns.

"Where is Gongsun Chan now? There is no other action. ”

"Second brother, Gongsun Taishou actively defended after ambushing the Huns, and now he is in Lingzhi, defending the city, blocking the Huns, and the Huns have no way to take him."

Ye Chen frowned, although the defense of the city was stable, but looking at history, although Gongsun Chan had few soldiers and horses, he dared to take the initiative to enter the grassland to go to the other party, and now he is on the defensive, which is not quite like Gongsun Chan's style.

Is there anything else to do?

Ye Chen didn't want to think about it if he couldn't figure it out, it was useless for him to think about it more, now the situation in Youzhou was not very clear, and he didn't dare to make any big moves rashly, keeping Liaodong was his top priority.

"Is there any news from Jixian County?"

"Jixian is still stable now, but the Xiongnu and Zhang Chun have been attacking fiercely, if there is no support, it will be a matter of time before Jixian County falls."

The situation in Jixian County has always been Ye Chen's concern, because once Jixian County falls, it will be a very big blow to the entire Youzhou, especially Liu Yu can't have an accident, Liu Yu has a great prestige in Youzhou, if even he has an accident, I'm afraid that the hearts of the entire Youzhou people will be shaken.

Now the situation is not optimistic, if something happens to Liu Yu, it will be a blow to the confidence of the entire military and civilians in Youzhou, and even to the entire Han Dynasty.

Tai Shici continued: "The imperial court has already sent troops to support Youzhou, and the army will be formed in Jizhou, and it will be possible to set off in a few days, but the combat power of the army formed in a hurry is not high. ”

"Now the situation in Liaoxi is temporarily stabilized, if the Xiongnu do not send troops to support, then their footsteps can only stop, we are waiting and watching for two days, if the Xiongnu do not make a big move, or we have no chance, then go back to Liaodong."

Now there is no much role here, so Ye Chen wants to return to Liaodong first, then observe the changes in the situation, and wait for the opportunity to make a move.

When Ye Chen was still in the Yangle and Linyu generations, on the grasslands in the north, two forces were approaching the border of Xuansu County from two directions.

They were very stealthy, and with Wu Huan's negligence, they quietly approached them hundreds of miles away.

Hundreds of miles, it seems to be a long distance, but for the steppe cavalry, if you don't bring food such as cattle and sheep, you can reach it overnight if you just sneak attack.

Hundreds of miles is already a dangerous distance, and besides, they are still under the cover of night, rapidly approaching.

The Xiongnu invested a lot of troops in Youzhou, and the left and right generals of King Zuoxian also went out in person, bringing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to ransack Youzhou, no one would have thought that the Xiongnu still had a large number of surplus troops to use.

No one was prepared for this, and no one would have thought that the Xiongnu would invest more than these troops this time.

"King Zuoxian, we are only more than five hundred miles away from Xuansu County, and early tomorrow morning, we can advance to the border of Xuanwu County."

"Well, don't be in a hurry, we have been on the road for many days, and the soldiers are tired, take a day off, and tomorrow night will be in action, and the morning after tomorrow, directly on the border." Zuo Xian Wang Yu Fuluo drank mare's milk wine, nibbled on the leg of mutton and said.

"Yes"

King Zuo Xian took another sip of mare's milk wine, and then said, "I heard that Bashuer has been defeated?" ”

"Yes, the news came the day before yesterday that there were several defeats, and the loss of troops was not small."

"Waste, even the Han people can't beat it." Yuvro scolded angrily, and then continued: "How is the situation on the Turkic side? ”

"They are also quite smooth, they have moved to the periphery of Wuhuan, this time we promised that the wealth of Wuhuan will belong to them, they are very active, and the action is also very fast."

"Hmm." With a wave of his hand, Yuvro told the general to retreat.

"King Zuo Xian, you really want to give this huge benefit to the Turks this time." A beautiful woman who was silent next to King Zuo Xian spoke.

If Ye Chen saw it, he would definitely recognize her, because she was the wife of King Zuo Xian and had been captured by him.

"There's no way, the royal court didn't give me too many troops this time, so I had no choice but to do it. Wuhuan has earned a lot of wealth from us and the Turks in the past two years, and not only do we have their eyes on him, but the Turks have long wanted to annex them. ”

Yu Fuluo took a few bites of the leg of mutton, and then said: "King Youxian's strength has expanded too fast recently, and he actually wants to compete with me for the position of crown prince, so I have to expand my strength as soon as possible, and plundering the wealth of the Han people can allow us to expand our strength quickly, otherwise I will not cooperate with the Turks." ”
