Lingwu Valley, located in Lian County, the northernmost part of Beidi County, Liangzhou, was originally a valley with a good scenery near the border of the Han Dynasty, but now, it has been owned by the rebels.

Since the rebellion in Liangzhou, Lian County and Lingzhou County in the north of Liangzhou have all been broken by Qianghu, and only Beidi County governs Fuping County, because the people of Beidi are adjacent to the Qiang people, and they know the danger they face after the city is broken.

Of course, when the rebels besieged Fuping County, they did not forget to take advantage of it, they sent several Qianghu cavalry, taking advantage of the opportunity of the army to besiege Fuping County and contain most of the troops in Beidi County. Therefore, when it comes to the rebels now, the persecuted soldiers and civilians in the north all hate them to the bone, eager to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

Han Sui, who led thousands of horsemen under his command, came to Lingwu Valley in this situation, and according to the plan, they would continue to go north, outside the cliff outside Lingwu Valley, and then bypass the interior of Beidi County.

At that time, it will not be difficult to attack Fuping County from the rear of the Beidi County, or to go deep behind enemy lines, plunder other counties in the south of Beidi County, or even enter Sanfu. Of course, all of this has to be established in the Han army of Beidi County, and the strength is not too strong, otherwise just with the thousands of Han and Qiang miscellaneous cavalry under his command, Han Sui is not sure that he will be able to break through to Beidi County.

However, according to the latest news, the famous general of the Han Dynasty, Fu Quan, led the main force of the Han army brought by him to pacify the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in Taiping Road, and has entered the territory of Hanyang County.

It's just that Han Sui felt that everything seemed to be too ordinary, and there was a faint sense of something wrong, but as for why this was so, he couldn't say it clearly.

To put it simply, Han Sui just has an intuition, after all, their current opponent is not the money-hungry wine bag and rice bag of the former Liangzhou assassin Shi Zuochang, but the young famous general Fu Quan of the Han Dynasty, he doesn't believe that this young but already battle-hardened general of Pingxi of the Han Dynasty, the arrangement of troops will be so ordinary, you must know that he can have today, but with other relatives who grew up by relationship, Fuquan's status today, but he fought on the battlefield step by step, This couldn't help but make Han Sui suspect that there was some terrifying meaning behind the Han army.

"General, it's not too early, and it's time to get out of the plug." Lu Sheng behind Han Sui, seeing that Han Sui was still pondering in Lingwu Valley, couldn't help but remind, because according to the plan, if he didn't go out of the fortress, I am afraid he would not be able to cooperate with the actions of the main rebel force in Hanyang County, although Lu Sheng was dissatisfied with Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, it did not mean that he would deliberately make a mess in this situation.

Hearing this, Han Sui shook his head and said, "Don't worry! When the scouts return to the army, I am extremely uneasy about this war. ”

"But the Han army is heavily guarded, and our army has been scrambled several ways, but none of them have returned, and it should be difficult for the scouts to return this way!"

"Before the appointed time comes, how do you know its whereabouts?" Han Sui replied coldly, he understood what Lu Sheng meant, and the army had already sent several waves of scouts in advance to lurk in Fuping County, Beidi County, to investigate the military situation, but none of them returned on time, which prompted Lu Sheng to not have hope for the scouts sent by the last way, even if it was not yet the appointed time, but he couldn't wait.

Those scouts are all henchmen selected by the generals in the army, and they are all rebels, obviously they will not be deserters halfway, that is because they have a long life. After all, it is obviously impossible for these deserters to escape back to the control of the rebels, and they can only go to the rule of the Han army, but if they are recognized, it is tantamount to a catastrophe, and the Han people will not care whether they have repented or not, and want to be obedient to the people incognito, they must be directly arrested as spies, in exchange for rewards. And the reason why those scouts can't come back, there is only one reason for Han Sui's existence, that is, in Fuping County, the Han army is extremely well guarded, and all these suspicious people under his command have been found.

"This ......" was refuted by Han Sui, Lu Sheng smiled bitterly, but he didn't know how to answer, after all, Han Sui was reasonable, and he couldn't refute it at all.

And after Han Sui finished speaking, seeing that there was still a lot of time, he walked towards the Lingwu Valley again, leaving Lu Sheng to stay in place with an embarrassed face, and then waited for Han Sui to go away, so he followed closely, since he was loyal to Han Sui, he naturally did not dare to force Han Sui to act.

Walking in the valley where the grass gradually widened after the arrival of this spring, Han Sui looked at the countless remnants of the broken walls that could still be seen, and his heart was desolate, he knew that these destroyed military facilities in front of him were all left by Captain Duan in the Lingwu Valley to pursue the Qiang people and break his army, although it has been more than ten years, but the traces left by the original war are still unchanged, and now he can still smell countless bloody breaths, as if he was on the scene.

In the first year of Jianning, during the battle of Fengyi, Duan Cheng led more than 10,000 soldiers, carrying 15 days of grain and grass, from Pengyang to Gaoping, and fought with the first zero in Fengyi Mountain, and broke its thieves. Then, he pursued and routed the Qiang for hundreds of miles day and night, and did not stop killing the Qiang people, among which in this Lingwu Valley, there was this pursuit battle.

When it was, the Qiang people fled to Lingwu Valley, and urgently set up guard facilities, Duan Cheng saw this, did not retreat, and sent Sima Tian Yan to lead 5,000 people out of its east, fake Sima Xia Yu with 2,000 people around its west, Qiang soldiers divided into six or seven thousand people to besiege Tian Yan and others, Tian Yan and others fought with them, and the Qiang people scattered and fled.

After this battle, the Qiang people completely lost their courage, except for a few stubborn resistance, in the mountains and mountains of Liangzhou to survive, the other Qiang people were either killed in battle, or abandoned their armor and surrendered, since then the first zero Qiang gradually pacified, until the final decisive battle of the Tiger Valley in the later Duan Cheng, the Han army killed more than 400 people, beheaded 19,000 people, and completely pacified the Qiang chaos.

After all, Han Sui is a native of Liangzhou, so he naturally respects the "Liangzhou Sanming", they are all the pride of Liangzhou, but unfortunately the three of them have great military merits, and they all have the ability to become famous in foreign wars. It's a pity that politically, the three of them are obviously not good, they obviously have heavy troops, but they refuse to clear the monarch's side, sweep away the eunuchs, and even later even Duan Cheng, the general, attached to the eunuchs, which is a move that Han Sui despises extremely much.

But I don't know, this dilapidated scene of today's broken wall will be tomorrow, his own end?

Looking at the ruins after the war, Han Sui thought in his heart, Duan Gong, Er Yingming I, but in the end, he lost the late festival, attached to the eunuchs, and sought wealth and nobility, which was not done by Han Sui. One day, I will sweep away the eunuchs and return the Han to a peaceful world!

The sound of horses' hooves of "kicking, kicking" behind him came, and Han Sui followed the prestige, but saw a young man dressed in the clothes of an ordinary Han people, riding a horse, but the rebel soldiers accompanying him did not intercept this person, because the young man was a scout sent by the army earlier.

In front of Han Sui, who was waiting for the scout, he immediately dismounted and saluted, "I've seen the general." ”

However, Han Sui didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Is there an abnormality in Northland County?" ”

"Back to the general, the villain lurked in Fuping, and found out a few days ago, in Fuping County, the Han general Huangfu Jianshou, led Guan Yu, and five hundred barbarian soldiers, stationed in Fuping."

"Five hundred barbarians?" Han Sui asked suspiciously, his intuition told him that the Han army's troops in Beidi County this time were too small, which was obviously not in line with their implementation of such strict security measures in Beidi County. If the Han army really thinks that Beidi County is not important, then why should Huangfu Jianshou and Guan Yu come as generals?

Among the two, the former is from the Huangfu clan of the Anding Generals, his uncle Huangfu Gui, and his father Huangfu Song are all famous generals, not to mention that Huangfu Song also served as the Taishou of the Northland, so that Huangfu Jianshou came to the Northland, which shows the importance of the Han Army to the Northland. As for the latter, needless to say, the main generals of Fuquan's previous wars have made countless achievements, and they have fiercely killed thousands of enemies, these two people have been stationed in Beidi County, but they only brought 500 soldiers, is Fuquan crazy, I really think that the strength of the rebels is not good, and only this reinforcement is enough?

"Exactly!"

The young scout's answer made Han Sui even more suspicious, and then asked, "What happened when the two of them entered the Northland?" ”

"Since Huangfu Jianshou and Guan Yu entered the north, they ordered the recruitment of soldiers, and ordered the wealthy families in the north to prepare their soldiers and gather troops to wait for battle. When the villain returned, he pursued for the Han cavalry, but fortunately killed several people and escaped. After speaking, the young scout deliberately moved his body down, revealing the blood stains on his chest and abdomen on his robe to Han Sui, hoping that Han Sui would remember him.

"Good! Hurry back to the column too! Han Sui approvingly, and then waved the young man away, he did not ask if the young man was injured, after all, on the battlefield, injuries are inevitable, and with this young man can still play ugly eyes on him now, it is obvious that his injuries are not big.

"No!"

Hearing Han Sui's order, the young man's face darkened, and he wanted to salute and leave, the plot was completely different from what he thought, shouldn't he be appreciated by Han Sui now, and from then on?

Just a few steps away, suddenly the young man heard Han Sui say, "Wait, who is your surname?" ”

These words made the young man suddenly excited, and he hurriedly turned around and saluted: "Return to the general, the villain has become a gongying!" ”

"Good! Categorize! Han Sui was stunned for a moment when he heard the name, then his face turned back and he continued to order.

"No!"

Looking at Cheng Gongying's completely different expression from just now, Han Sui smiled, these people want to be on top of the throne with good intentions, but even if they want to support, they have to polish it well, otherwise how can they raise their prestige?

"General, this son is not bad, it can be cultivated!" Lu Sheng has been observing Cheng Gongying, and he is naturally clear about Cheng Gongying's actions, and Cheng Gongying is also from Jincheng, so Lu Sheng naturally knows his name, so he naturally says good things for him.

"Yes, this son will be under your command!"

"No!"

In his heart, Han Sui also understood the meaning of Lu Sheng, he had naturally heard the name of Cheng Gongying in Jincheng County, since the other party was his fellow villager, and he showed favor like this, he didn't temper it, and he was cited as a confidant, so what else did he do?

As for Cheng Gongying's tricks, Han Sui didn't care, and Han Sui naturally knew what he thought, just to show his exploits in front of him, so as to attract Han Sui's attention. Of course, Han Sui is happy to see this, after all, this also shows that the other party is loyal to him, now he wants to try his best to cultivate his henchmen, after joining the rebels for a while, he is more and more disappointed in the scattered sand, just want to plunder but have no ambitions, one day, he must integrate the rebels, and want to complete all this, it is based on his own strength.

However, Cheng Gongying's words also made Han Sui suspicious in his heart, watching Emperor Fu Jianshou and Guan Yu's move was completely like knowing that there was a war in Beidi County, so they recruited soldiers to defend the city, could it be that their actions had been leaked to the Han army?

No, there should be no leakage, if the Han army knew that the place they attacked was Beidi County, they should vigorously reinforce it, not just bring 500 soldiers, this point of men, in the face of the main force of the rebels, even if the Han army is elite, it is not enough for the rebels to stuff their teeth.

Unless, the Han army had long known that the rebels would only come with a partial division, so they had nothing to fear, and after this idea appeared, it quickly took root in Han Sui's heart. Of course, he also has reason to guess like this, after all, most of the main forces under Fuquan's command are now gathered in Hanyang County, and the main direction of the rebels' attack this time is also Hanyang County, there is no doubt that the two are compared, if Fuquan has guessed the actions of the rebels, then this seemingly disparity in strength will be suspended.

Han Sui believes that no one will leak the information of the rebels to the Han Dynasty now, but he does not doubt that the military actions of the rebels can be guessed by the Han army, after all, the Han Dynasty can produce many people, and it is not difficult to guess the offensive intentions of the rebels.

While Han Sui was pondering, there was a sound of "kicking, kicking" horse hooves in the distance, interrupting Han Sui's thinking, following the prestige, but seeing a team of Qiang riding coming, Han Sui's face suddenly changed, this is not his army, but under the command of Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others, could it be that something happened to the army in Hanyang County?

With the team of Qiang cavalry a little unruly saluted, and explained the intention, it was to send a letter from Bian Zhang to Han Sui, Han Sui immediately put his mind at ease, as for the Qiang cavalry rudeness to him, he turned a blind eye, and now the situation is not in his favor, everything can only wait.

After receiving the letter, Han Sui immediately opened it, and Bian Zhang said in the letter that the rebels did not want to fight hand-to-hand because of the hoarding of troops in Fuquan in Pingxiang City, and then changed their strategy, intending to copy the strategy of a surprise attack on Ji County by a bypass to deal with Zuochang, hoping that Han Sui would be ready to meet with the main force of the rebels.

Because the letter talked about the secrets of the rebels, Bian Zhang specially arranged a team of Qiang cavalry escorts, which shows how carefully Bian Zhang wrote about the war in the letter.

It's just that Han Sui read the letter, but his face was not as optimistic as Bian Zhang's, and his intuition told him that what Fu Quan was doing in Pingxiang County was not at all what a battlefield general should do.

After all, no one would know that the rebels had a detour and sneak attack, and they still shrank the army in the city and held it, and even put the 10,000 cavalry in the city for infantry, does Fuquan plan to use these elite cavalry as infantry?

The normal generals of the defending army will at least let the cavalry outside the city, help the defending army, wait for the opportunity to defend the city, if they find an opportunity to surprise the place where the head of the besieging army is located, then it is not possible to say that there will be a big victory.

Therefore, to sum up, Han Sui was flustered, he had a premonition that something big would happen in Hanyang County, and this Beidi County was obviously not safe. At that moment, Han Sui shouted: "The whole army obeys the order and marches to Hanyang!" ”

The surrounding generals were slightly stunned when they heard this, but after seeing Han Sui's expression, they knew what he saw, so they could only obey orders, and before long, they saw thousands of rebels turning to Hanyang County to march.
