Around the end of the day, the two thousand Han troops in Linqiang City came to Anyi City, Li Mu asked Feng Xi to lead these two thousand Han troops to defend Anyi City, and there was no room for loss.

Just after the time of the child, Li Mu led 13,000 Han troops to Changning Beach. About three quarters of an hour, the Han army came to Changning Beach, which is surrounded by the turbulent Yellow River in the north and a tributary of Huangshui in the east. Li Mu and his entourage surveyed the terrain and planned the attack route and ambush site.

In about half an hour, the Han army determined the attack route and ambush location. Li Mu ordered that before the start of this battle, no noise, no fire, and no departure from the queue! Even if you want convenience, you can only solve it in the pants. If you disobey the general's order, you will be killed! The weather in November was cold, the wind was biting, and the snow was falling, but the soldiers had no complaints, like wild beasts before hunting, quietly lurking, waiting for the arrival of the Qiang soldiers!

However, it is said that the hundreds of Qiang soldiers who fled from Anyi City, under the leadership of a hundred households named Zadako, ran all the way to the Western Capital City as if they were dead. The garrison officers of the western capital did not dare to slack off, and brought Zadako to the command tent of the Huangzhong Yi army.

Zadak entered the big tent, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Please forgive the two big leaders, Anyi City was broken by the Han army, and the villain took five or six hundred brothers to fight desperately to fight a bloody way to escape." ”

When Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou heard this, they were shocked. Li Wenhou has a hot temper, usually moody, this will already be angry, two steps to Zadako, Zadako is a punch and kick, Li Wenhou still can't relieve his anger, pulled out the scimitar, and is about to kill Zadak. Seeing this, Beigong Boyu grabbed Li Wenhou and said in a deep voice: "Enough!" It's useless for you to kill him. ”

Li Wenhou threw down the scimitar in his hand and kicked Zadak a few times, then turned around and went to drink angrily. Beigong Boyu looked at Zadake and said in a deep voice: "Where is the Buku clam?" He's dead? Or was he captured by the Han army? Zadak hurriedly sent Buku Clam out of the city to chase and kill the Han army, and the Han army's fraud of the city was told to Beigong Boyu as it was.

When Beigong Boyu heard this, he was terrified, it seemed that the three cities of Poqiang, Linqiang, and Anyi were really broken by the Han army. Beigong Boyu hurriedly asked, "How many people are there in the Han army?" Who leads the troops? Where did it come from? ”

Zadak hurriedly replied: "The great leader forgives his sins! The villain only knew that at first two or three thousand people came outside the city to shout and curse, and later three or four thousand people deceived the city. As for the generals of the Han army who led the troops, where did the Han army come from, the villain really doesn't know, those Han soldiers who saw us were just slashing and killing, more cruel than us! ”

Beigong Boyu saw that he couldn't ask anything useful from Zadako, so he asked him to go down. Beigong Boyu walked up to Li Wenhou and sat down, drank a bowl of wine, and said in a deep voice: "Old Li, at present, the three cities of Poqiang, Linqiang, and Anyi have been mastered by the Han army, and the route of our army's eastward entry into Jincheng County has been blocked by the Han army. ”

Li Wenhou took a sip of wine and said hatefully: "Yakta, Yataiva, and Buku Clams are three stupid pigs, and the Han army is only a few thousand, and they can't even defend a city." Tomorrow, you and I will raise an army of 50,000 to Anyi City, and kill the group of Han army cubs without leaving a piece of armor, and be ashamed! ”

Beigong Boyu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Li Mu, the Taishou of Jincheng County, is very good at fighting, and this person is still a Pingxi Zhonglang general in the Han Dynasty, presumably it was this person who led the army to break through the three cities of Poqiang, Linqiang, and Anyi." It is better for our army to hold the western capital, no matter how powerful Li Mu is, with thousands of people, he will not be able to attack the western capital. ”

Li Wenhou immediately said hatefully: "Beigong, there are 50,000 horses in the western capital, and people eat horses and chew them, how long can our grain and grass last?" If I want to defend you, I will take the Qiang soldiers to kill all this Han army. When the time comes, eat fragrant and drink spicy food, don't be greedy! ”

Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou held their own opinions, refused to give in to each other, and argued for two or three hours, but they still couldn't compromise. The final result was that Li Wenhou led 20,000 Qiang soldiers to attack the Han army in the east, and Beigong Boyu and the remaining 30,000 Qiang soldiers continued to defend the western capital.

The next day, Li Wenhou led 20,000 Qiang soldiers to leave the western capital and rushed all the way to Anyi City. The Qiang soldiers walked sixty or seventy miles, and some of them were sleepy and tired, so Li Wenhou ordered the Qiang soldiers to rest on the spot for an hour before marching. What Li Wenhou didn't know was that the place where the Qiang soldiers were located was called Changning Beach, and he and the Qiang soldiers had already come to the encirclement of the Han army. When the Qiang soldiers saw that they could rest, they happily began to make fires and make meals. The Qiang soldiers had been running for sixty or seventy miles, and their whole bodies were very warm, but they stopped at this time, and in less than a moment, they felt that their whole bodies were cold, and many Qiang soldiers got off their horses and curled up together to roast the fire.

Just when the Qiang soldiers were about to eat, they suddenly felt that the ground under their feet was trembling, and the Qiang soldiers stood up and looked, only to see countless Han troops killing from the south. The Qiang soldiers were so frightened that they screamed. However, he said that when Li Wenhou saw that he could rest for an hour, he asked someone to simply set up a tent for him, and drank wine and roasted fire in the tent. At this moment, Li Wenhou heard the exclamation of the Qiang soldiers, and hurriedly ran out of the tent, almost not scared to death.

Li Wenhou hurriedly got on his horse and shouted to organize the Qiang soldiers to line up for defense, but the Qiang soldiers had already become a pot of porridge, and they couldn't find their own formation in a hurry.

However, the Han army did not give Li Wenhou a chance to breathe, and in an instant, he slaughtered into the crowd of Qiang soldiers. Li Mulang shouted: "Soldiers, kill all the Qiang people and dog thieves, and take revenge!" ”

The Han army originally resented the Qiang soldiers in their hearts, and because of this damn Qiang soldiers, they were frozen in the ice and snow for a few hours, and at this time, they were already angry. The Han army roared and killed the Qiang soldiers, and cut down when they met people. Li Mu, Dian Wei, and Fu Yi each led a Han army to kill the Qiang soldiers, and Deng Zhi led a thousand Han troops to sweep the formation.

Li Mu, Dian Wei, and Fu Yi rushed into the enemy formation, as if they were in a no-man's land, and everywhere they went, they were killed and wounded. In an instant, the wails and screams of the Qiang soldiers resounded in the sky. The Qiang soldiers fled in all directions, panicked, and fled north in some of their desperation, jumped into the Yellow River, and disappeared in an instant; Some fled eastward, jumped into the Huangshui tributary, and were either drowned or hacked to death by the Han army chasing behind. Most of the Qiang soldiers fled west with Li Wenhou, intending to flee back to the western capital, and many of these Qiang soldiers were trampled to death without being pursued by the Han army.

Li Mu ordered Fu He to continue to pursue and kill the Qiang soldiers who fled to the east and north, while he and Dian Wei led the remaining Han troops to pursue and kill the Qiang soldiers who fled westward. Deng Zhi saw that the Qiang soldiers were gone, so he led the 1,000 Han troops to the west to pursue and kill the Qiang soldiers.

Li Wenhou was so frightened that he lay on his horse and fled westward. Li Wenhou ran westward for more than ten miles, and suddenly, a Han army in front of him blocked the way, and it was Zhang Liao and Wang Ping, who were ambushing the soldiers here. Zhang Liao and Wang Ping didn't answer, urged the soldiers, and rushed straight into the crowd of Qiang soldiers. Li Wenhou saw that the Han army was rushing over, hurriedly reined in his horse, and let the Qiang soldiers rush forward to die, and then, he fled from the side with hundreds of guards, and most of the remaining Qiang soldiers had become the sword ghosts of the Han army.

Li Wenhou took hundreds of guards to fight desperately out of the Han army's military formation, and ran seven or eight miles wildly, and suddenly, a Han army blocked the way. It turned out that Zhang Liao, Jiang Wei, and Wang Ping, after some discussion, decided to intercept and kill the Qiang soldiers in batches, first Zhang Liao and Wang Ping led 5,000 Han troops to block the Qiang soldiers' front and slow down the speed of the Qiang soldiers' escape, and then Jiang Wei led a 1,000 Han army to intercept and kill those Qiang soldiers who slipped through the net.

Seeing this, Li Wenhou knew that it was difficult to escape, so he reined in his horse and said in a trembling voice; "I am...... Li Wenhou, the leader of the Huangzhong Yi army...... If you could spare my life...... I am willing to be loyal to the Han army......"

Jiang Wei nodded and said loudly; "Good! Dismount immediately and surrender, but spare you from dying, otherwise, you will be beheaded in a different place! ”

Li Wenhou hesitated, gambled in his heart, and then threw down his weapon and dismounted, and those Qiang guards also threw their weapons and dismounted. The Han army had already rushed forward and tied Li Wenhou and his party to a knot. Jiang Wei escorted Li Wenhou and his party to meet Zhang Liao and Wang Pingjun.

However, it was said that Zhang Liao and Wang Ping led the army to chase and kill the Qiang soldiers from west to east, and Li Mu and Dian Wei led the army to chase and kill the Qiang soldiers from east to west, and killed the Qiang soldiers in about an hour. Immediately, Li Mu ordered the Han army to suspend the pursuit of those Qiang soldiers who had slipped through the net, and the army withdrew to Changning Beach to gather. In this battle, the Han army suffered more than 1,200 casualties; More than 15,000 Qiang soldiers were beheaded, of which more than 2,000 Qiang soldiers jumped into the Yellow River and Huangshui tributaries and drowned. More than 14,000 usable horses were seized, and the grain, grass and ordnance were not counted!

Li Mu ordered the army to set up camp in Changning Beach and bury the pot to make rice. Li Mu looked at Li Wenhou who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "Quickly untie Leader Li, give him a seat, and serve wine!" ”

Although the generals were surprised, they didn't ask out loud, Li Wenhou knelt down and bowed to Li Mu a few times, and said: "Thank you Lord Li for not killing, the villain is willing to go to the soup for Lord Li, and he will not give up!" ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Since Leader Li is willing to defect to our army, he is a friend of the Han army, and I, Li Mu, will not let Leader Li suffer grievances." It's just that there are still tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers in the western capital, and the current Han army is also short of food and grass. ”

Li Wenhou said with a smile: "If the lord can trust his subordinates, he will take ten days, and his subordinates can go to the Western Capital City to persuade Beigong Boyu to surrender." If Beigong Boyu does not know the current affairs, his subordinates are willing to do internal response, and when he is ugly on the tenth day, he will raise the fire as a number, open the east gate of the western capital, and welcome the lord into the city! ”

Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay! Wenhou is really loyal and commendable, so he will do what Wenhou says. Wenhou will go to wash and bathe first, and if he is not drunk tonight, he will not return, and tomorrow, Wenhou can return to the Western Capital. ”

Li Wenhou was overjoyed, he could finally escape, Li Wenhou thanked Li Mu, and then went out of the Chinese army's big tent.

Deng Zhi muttered: "The lord, the subordinates think that the lord's approach is inconsiderate. Li Wenhou is a treacherous traitor, and the lord should not be gullible to him. As soon as Deng Zhi finished speaking, all the generals also comforted Li Mu in unison, and they should not believe Li Wenhou.

Li Mu glanced around and said with a smile: "Yes, you have a unique vision, I am deeply grateful." How could I not know that Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu are wolf-hearted people. Letting Li Wenhou go back was just for him and Beigong Boyu to eat dogs. ”

Li Mu saw that everyone didn't understand too much, and then said: "Beigong Boyu is still a bit of a brain, but this person is suspicious. If Li Wenhou goes back unharmed, Beigong Boyu is already suspicious in his heart, plus those fleeing Qiang soldiers add fuel to it, then the suspicion in his heart will become a fire, if we wait to add fuel to the fire, then the suspicion in Beigong Boyu's heart will become a raging fire. ”

When everyone heard this, they all admired Li Mu's foresight. Li Mu called Zhang Liao and Deng Zhi to come over with their ears, whispered in their ears, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and their hearts were settled!

This night, everyone accompanied Li Wenhou to drink wine and eat meat, and did not go to rest until the hour!
