However, it was said that after Huangfu Song divided his troops in Pingcheng, he personally commanded 20,000 Han troops and advanced all the way to the north. When it was thirty miles away from Liucheng, Tanmalai reported that there were about 3,000 Xianbei troops stationed in Liucheng. Huangfu Song ordered the horse to explore again.

Subsequently, Huangfu Song ordered the army to slow down the march, and sent several scouts to set off from all directions of the Northern Expeditionary Army to find out the news within a radius of 100 miles.

Huangfu Song saw that the Xianbei army had occupied Liucheng, and ordered the army to camp twenty miles away from Liucheng. Huangfu Song saw that it was getting late, and it was inconvenient to attack the city at this time, so he gave the order to go down, bury the pot and make rice, and set off tomorrow to attack Liucheng.

As a result, on the evening of the same day, the Tanmalai newspaper, which monitored the Xianbei army, reported that all the 3,000 Xianbei troops stationed in Liucheng had withdrawn from Liucheng. Huangfu Song was afraid that the Xianbei army would be deceitful, so he ordered Tanma to continue to find out the news of the Xianbei army.

The next day, Huangfu Song sent 2,000 Han troops to garrison Liucheng, and he led the remaining 18,000 Han troops to continue northward. In the evening of the same day, the Northern Expeditionary Army was stationed in Montenegro, and according to the Malay report, there was no trace of the Xianbei army in the surrounding 50 miles of Montenegro. Huangfu Song looked at the map and couldn't help but ponder, this Black Mountain is one hundred and eighty miles away from Danhan Mountain, how could there be no trace of the Xianbei Army? Could it be that the Xianbei army is shrinking its combat strength, waiting for him to go to the decisive battle of Danhan Mountain.

After dawn, Huangfu Songba's camp marched north, and the army advanced fifty miles north, arriving in Shangyi in the evening. Huangfu Song saw that Shangyi was a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there was a water source, so he asked the army to set up camp. Huangfu Song thought that there was no news from the westward army now, if he rashly advanced and fell into the ambush of the Xianbei army, the Northern Expedition army would be destroyed.

Huangfu Song was stationed in Shangyi for two days, waiting for the news of the westward marching army. Huang Fu Song heard that the westward army was stationed in the Qingshui River, and hurriedly asked someone to spread out the map, and Huang Fu Song carefully checked the march route of the westward army. Suddenly, Huangfu Song smashed his fist on several cases, and said hatefully: "Liu Long, Wang Hu, ignorant horseman, I will rest the army marching west!" The Northern Expedition is over! ”

All the captains asked in unison, "General Huangfu, has something happened to the westward army?" ”

Huangfu Song said hatefully: "Qingshui River is low-lying, easy to attack and difficult to defend, it is only more than 100 miles away from Yunzhong, if the Xianbei army in Yunzhong attacks the camp, the westward army will be annihilated." If the westward army is defeated, it will not be able to attract the garrison near the Xianbei Palace. My Northern Expeditionary Army will also be alone. ”

Captain Wang said: "General Huangfu, maybe the Xianbei army didn't think of attacking the camp at all, and the westward army was still safe. ”

Huangfu Song sighed and said, "For today's plan, the Northern Expeditionary Army will temporarily rest in Shangyi and wait for the news of the westward marching army." ”

In this way, Huang Fu Song sent people to inquire about the news of the westward army, and on the other hand, he inquired about the news of the Xianbei army around the world, and finally three days later, Huang Fu Song got a fortunate news in the misfortune, even the chief Li Mu turned the tide and defeated the Yunzhong Xianbei army that came to attack the camp, and the Han army annihilated more than 9,000 Xianbei troops at the cost of more than 5,000 casualties. Huangfu Song was overjoyed, and immediately decided that tomorrow's army would march and enter Danhan Mountain.

The next day, Huangfu Song led the army to leave Shangyi and march north to Danhan Mountain. Huangfu Song thought that since the westward army had won, then Tanshihuai would definitely send a garrison near Danhan Mountain to reinforce Yunzhong. In Huangfu Song's heart, the westward army was just a chess piece, and his Northern Expedition army was the main force of this expedition.

However, what Huangfu Song couldn't imagine was that Tanshi Huai was seriously ill at this time, and the actual control of Xianbei Wangting Danhan Mountain was in the hands of Tan Shihuai's son and Lian. And Helian has always been at odds with Putou and Fuluohan. Not to mention the defeat of the Xianbei army in the clouds, even if the Xianbei army in the clouds is completely annihilated, Helian will not send a single soldier to rescue him.

Just when Huangfu Song's Northern Expeditionary army marched to Daqinggou, the Xianbei army was already waiting for him in Daqinggou. In this way, in the open valley area of Daqinggou, the Han army and the Xianbei army set up a large camp. The two armies were twenty miles apart. For the next five days, the two armies went back and forth, won and lost each other, and could not hold each other.

However, it is said that Li Mushuai led 2,000 Han troops to begin to advance eastward, and the eastward Han army passed through Tucheng, Liangcheng, Dayu, and Wulan all the way, and came to Yangshan on the fifth day. Along the way, the eastward Han army only encountered a few small Xianbei troops, and these Xianbei troops fled far away when they saw the Han army. When Li Mu set out from the clouds, he sent scouts to find out the location of Huangfu Song's army.

Li Mu knew that this Yang Mountain was less than 100 miles away from Danhan Mountain, and he was afraid that he would be more than lucky if he rushed forward. Li Mu inspected and found that Yangshan was also a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there was a water source, so he immediately asked the soldiers to set up camp and bury the pot to make rice.

In Li Mu's Chinese army tent, Li Mu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao chatted while eating. Li Mu asked with a smile: "Zilong, Wenyuan, now that our army is only two thousand people, and I don't know the exact location of General Huangfu at the moment, I don't know if you two have any good strategies to let me go out of the army and defeat the Xianbei army?" ”

Zhang Liao groaned: "Big brother, we don't know the specific location of General Huangfu at the moment. The royal court of Danhan Mountain is located on the mountain again, and this time, it may not be easy to raid Danhan Mountain. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Big brother, the third brother's words make sense, judging from Zilong, we will wait for the news of General Huangfu." ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way to do it now." ”

At noon the next day, the scouts who had gone to inquire about the news of Huangfu Song returned. Only then did Li Mu know that it turned out that General Huangfu's Northern Expedition had advanced to the front line of Daqinggou, and at present, he was confronting the Xianbei army in Daqinggou. Huangfu Song ordered Li Muxing to gallop to the aid of Daqinggou at night, and the army raised fire as a signal to annihilate the Xianbei army stationed in Daqinggou.

Li Mu didn't dare to slack off, so he took a map and took a look. Yangshan is more than 100 miles away from Daqinggou, and if the whole army marches with all its might, it can reach Daqinggou in one day, but the problem is that the whereabouts of the westward army have been exposed, and they rush over with such open fire, not only to no avail, but also may be calculated by the Xianbei army generals. In the end, after Li Mu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao discussed, they decided to let the westward march into the army, and go out day and night.

Two days later, the 2,000 Han troops led by Li Mushuai came to the back of the Xianbei garrison in Daqinggou unconsciously. Li Mu hid his army in a mountain col twenty miles away from the Xianbei garrison in Daqinggou. Li Mu ordered to go down, the army rested on the spot, no fire was allowed to light cigarettes, and when the ugly time came, it attacked the Xianbei garrison of Daqinggou.

Because the garrison of the westward army was too close to the Xianbei garrison in Daqinggou, Li Mu was afraid of exposing the whereabouts of the westward army, and it was difficult to carry out the pre-war mobilization that was too quiet. Li Mu ordered that if the raid on the Xianbei army could be successful, all the property obtained by the westward army could be taken. The westward army followed Li Mu, counterattacked the Xianbei army from the Qingshui River, and then rushed to attack the Xianbei army in Yunzhong, all of which were benefited.

As soon as the ugly time came, the westward army was ranked, the horses were wrapped in hooves, and they quietly approached the Xianbei army garrison in Daqinggou. Seeing that the Han army on the opposite side had not moved in the past few days, the Xianbei army of Daqinggou naturally relaxed their defenses, and what they did not expect was that a Han army would kill from behind them.

The westward Han army pried open the door of the Xianbei army's rear camp, and Li Mu shouted: "At this time, follow me to kill all the Xianbei dog thieves." As soon as the words fell, Li Mu took the lead in the Xianbei military camp, and the Han army set fire everywhere and cut down anyone else. In an instant, the Xianbei army camp was on fire, and the ghosts of the Xianbei army were heard howling everywhere. Li Mu knew that there were about 20,000 people in the Xianbei army in Daqinggou, and he only had 2,000 people, so naturally he couldn't fight hard, so Li Mu ordered the Han army to burn the grain, grass, ordnance, and tents to create chaos.

Huangfu Song saw that the camp of the Xianbei army was on fire, and knew that Li Mu had succeeded in the surprise attack, so he ordered the whole army to advance at full speed and attack the camp of the Xianbei army. Just when Li Mu's westward army was fighting with the Xianbei army, Huangfu Song's northward army broke through the front camp of the Xianbei army and was heading towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

The Xianbei army was panicked at first, losing some soldiers and horses, but later found that this Han army was not large in number, and only set fire to the camp to create chaos. The Xianbei army quickly calmed down and began to counterattack Li Mu's westward army. Just as the Xianbei army was preparing to surround Li Mu's westward army, they saw that the camp in front of the Xianbei army was on fire, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. Li Mu looked at Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, and then at the Han army behind him, and shouted, "Soldiers, our reinforcements have arrived. Kill all the Xianbei dog thieves and take revenge. The morale of the Han army was greatly boosted, and they fought hard to kill.

The leading generals of the Xianbei army, watching the barracks burning everywhere, the Han army killing more and more, knew that the general trend had gone, so they had to organize the Xianbei army to break through. The direction of the Xianbei army's breakthrough is naturally the rear camp, and if the breakthrough is successful from the rear camp, you can directly escape to Danhan Mountain. Second, the number of Han troops in the Houying camp was smaller.

Li Mu saw that the Xianbei army was fighting the trapped beasts, and in order to avoid unnecessary losses, he ordered the Xianbei army to pass. Li Mu and Huangfu Song, who came later, led the army to chase and kill, and chased and killed for more than 50 miles before stopping the Han army. Immediately, Huangfu Song and Li Mu joined forces and returned to the Xianbei army camp in Daqinggou.
