The three-way Han army, and only the Zang Min army from Taiyuan did not suffer many losses and maintained complete combat strength. Two days later, Zang Min and Dong Zhuo joined forces, marched west to find the main force of the Huns, and stationed in Gaowolf City. The two cities of Lin County and Gaowolf are only 20 miles apart, and the two armies hold each other based on the city.

A Xiongnu army went north along the river, nearly 10,000 horsemen, and the leader Helan Dangfu and Fugu Huaijing. Helan Dangfu looked a little depressed, looking at Lin County in front of him, a little apprehensive. The servant Gu Huaijing beside him didn't look good, but looking at Helan Dangfu's depressed color, he couldn't help but comfort: "Dangfu, don't worry too much, Da Dan is ...... over there" Speaking of this, he also didn't know how to persuade him, how Ji Louyuan would deal with Helan Dangfu, he couldn't grasp it.

Helan Dangfu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That's it, it's life or death, it's all up to Da Dan Yu to decide!" ”

After leading the partial army south, he tried his best to contain the Hedong army in Tongtian Mountain, so that Dong Zhuo could not advance north. Gradually, he relaxed his vigilance, who expected that Dong Zhuo would have the courage to give him that trick and slip from under his nose to Ji Louyuan's back. When he found out, it was too late, and in a fit of anger, he annihilated the 3,000 Han troops left by Dong Zhuo, and it was difficult to fill the boredom in his chest.

After the news came from the north that Da Danyu was attacked by the Hedong Army and suffered a lot of losses, Helan Dangfu couldn't sleep anymore. led the army to the north, and happened to meet the servant Gu Huaijing who was pursuing Zhang Yi in the south, and the two cooperated to kill the remnants of his army, and returned north to find Ji Louyuan together.

In the county government of Lin County, Ji Lou Yuan had a cold and hard face, staring at the kneeling Helan Dangfu and the servants Gu Huaijing, and the generals of the Huns sitting on both sides, all wanting to see how Ji Lou Yuan would deal with Helan Dangfu. Stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes, Helan Dangfu directly ignored the special meaning in it, and kowtowed his head heavily: "The minister has a big order to be trusted, and he has not restrained the Hedong army, resulting in the loss of the army, please punish the big order!" ”

Ji Lou Yuan looked at Helan Dangfu, his forehead was already bleeding, and he chuckled: "What do you think, what should I do with you?" The ball was kicked back to his side, Helan Dangfu heard this, his fists were clenched, and a wave of fluctuation and struggle flashed in the depths of his eyes: "Please die!" ”

Seeing Ji Louyuan's expressionless face, Fu Gu Huaijing hurriedly bowed and said: "The commander of Helan is a minister of Da Dan Yu Humerus, and he has many meritorious achievements; I hope that the big single is forgiven! When the rest of the generals saw it, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they also advised them together, Helan Dangfu was an old minister who followed Ji Louyuan after all, and he should not be killed. If you don't show it at all and are remembered by him, you will have offended him in vain.

"Helan was a Fu, he had a negative military order, and he was so slack that the Han army surrounded our army, causing me heavy losses, and I deserved to die for the original sin. Remembering that he had made meritorious contributions in fighting in the south, killing and injuring many Han soldiers, he could avoid the death penalty. However, the merit was not worth it, and he was whipped forty, relieved of his position as the commander of the guards, and went to the northern Xiongnu to be a governor to see the after-effects. Ji Louyuan stared at Helan Dangfu: "You, can you be convinced?" ”

"Thank you!" Helan Dangfu kowtowed again, got up and walked out of the court, and took the punishment and left. "It's all gone!" Ji Lou Yuan waved his hand.

Everyone respectfully retired, with different thoughts, Da Dan Yu was ruthless enough, and he showed no mercy to his henchmen. Forty lashes can ask for half of Helan Dangfu's life, and the position of commander is also exempted, a small town chief of the northern Xiongnu, how can he have the high power of the position of the commander of the guards. Now that the position of commander is vacant, whether it is time to fight for it, some people have thought about it.

In a quiet room, Helan Dangfu was naked, lying on the couch, his brows furrowed, and his own soldiers were applying ointment for him. Ji Louyuan walked in, and when the soldiers saw it, they hurriedly put down the medicine bowl and got up to salute: "Da Danyu!" alarmed Helan Dangfu, who was lying on his stomach, and tried to get up after enduring the pain. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers helped him lie down again and retreated.

Sitting on the edge of the couch, looking at the criss-crossing whip marks on Helan Dangfu's back, the flesh turned out, shocking, it was obvious that the executioner was deadly. "It's a little ruthless, you can survive it! There are complaints," Ji Lou Yuan said lightly.

Helan Dangfu looked a little excited, and said to Ji Louyuan: "The wound of skin and flesh is difficult to reach, the minister is unwilling, he didn't look at the Hedong Army, and the minister is really ......."

"That's it!" Ji Louyuan stopped Helan Dangfu: "There is no need to mention the past, there is always a chance to return the color in the future!" Degrade you to the mayor of the northern city, and don't relax, keep an eye on the Xianbei people for me! You and Chi Yi manage Shanan well, that will be our bridgehead to the north in the future!"

Helan Dangfu was shocked when he heard this: "You mean, put the target on Xianbei?" Surprised, he knew that Ji Louyuan had strong ambitions for the Han Dynasty, and this southern invasion was the first step.

didn't let Helan Dangfu think for long, Ji Louyuan said with a firm look in his eyes: "This southern expedition has reached the extreme so far, and the Han heritage is really deep enough." In recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have caused turmoil in various places, but even so, only a few forces in the two places of Bingzhou and Hedong have made me feel great resistance, and even Xihe County is difficult to get out. Mo Ruo put the goal on Xianbei, swallow the crowd, accumulate strength, and wait for changes in the south to attack the south! ”

"I will keep the position of commander of the guard army for you, and I will restore it to you after making meritorious contributions in the future!" Glancing at Helan Dangfu, Ji Louyuan said with a smile. "Thank you Da Shan Yu!" Helan Dangfu was a little moved, didn't care about the pain, raised his body and thanked him.

Walking on the streets of Lin County, the surrounding houses were empty and deserted, and the Han people were all moved to the north by him. Only the strict Xiongnu guards and the sergeants patrolling around, as they walked, they outlined in their minds the direction of the future development of the Xiongnu. Dong Zhuo's previous blow woke up Ji Lou Yuan, who had been a little swollen before, and the big man should not be humiliated. After defeating Zhang Yi, he originally wanted to take the opportunity to invade the territory of Taiyuan, and its wealth and prosperity could make him greedy.

Now, this idea has been completely dispelled, Zang Min and Dong Zhuo have joined forces, even if they defeat each other, how much strength will they have left to continue to attack and merge states. What's more, just merging states is so difficult, and it should be stopped.

First the north and then the south, first the easy and then the difficult, will be the future strategy of the Xiongnu. Looking to the north, Ji Lou Yuan's eyes were bright, if nothing else, Tanshi Huai is not far from death, and Xianbei will have great changes. In the future, Xianbei will be the tiger of others, and the lamb of Ji Lou Yuan.

Since he had made up his mind in his heart, Ji Louyuan did not break away from the water, and led the army to engage the Han army in the northeast several times, causing mutual damage, interrupting its rising momentum, and decisively leading the army to retreat north. Lin County is adjacent to the big river, and Ji Louyuan has already ordered people to build boats and boats to escort supplies and wounded people along the river.

The Han army knew about the withdrawal of the Xiongnu army at the first time, but Zang Min and Dong Zhuo had no desire to pursue, and the previous few encounters had already given them an intuitive feeling of the combat effectiveness of the Xiongnu cavalry. If the Xiongnu attacked with all their might, the more than 20,000 Han troops would definitely not be their opponents. The Xiongnu took the initiative to retreat, and Zang Min and Dong Zhuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at least they could recover Lishi and other cities, and they also had an explanation for the imperial court.

Led the army into Lishi City, looking at the ruined city, there was no one in the empty city, and Zang Min smiled bitterly. The people were all taken captive by the Huns, and what was the use of recovering this empty city. Do you want to move the army and civilians to fill it for the Huns to plunder again? Zang Min's eyes were full of worry.
