In the spring of the fifth year of Xiping (176), the weather warmed up, the ice and snow in the Hetao land were lifted, and the surrounding area of Meiji gradually regained its vitality. It's just that the green grass has just emerged, revealing new shoots, just waiting to grow. The cattle, sheep and livestock raised by the Xiongnu tribesmen still need to suffer from hunger for a while, and only when the water and grass are abundant can they be eaten recklessly.

King Zuogu Li returned to Meiji, and came back disgraced. Everything didn't go well in Luoyang, not to mention the support of ordnance and materials, and even a few pieces of silk and porcelain were not caught. Not to mention enjoying a comfortable life of the Han people in Luoyang, he offended the eunuchs, almost lost his life, was ridiculed, and returned home.

Stay aggrieved until the spring returns to the earth, before returning from the trip, the road is bumpy, trekking through mountains and rivers, and when you return to the tribe, you have a feeling of being separated from the world. didn't complete the task, Hu Yangu felt embarrassed, but fortunately, Tu Teshan Yu did not reprimand, but comforted him gently, which made him feel a lot better.

It's just that soon the king of Zuogu Li was incompetent, and the news of the mission of the envoy spread all over Meiji. Many people compare him with Ji Lou Yuan, and people say that the envoy of Prince Ji Lou Yuan brought more opportunities for the Xiongnu to trade goods, and Hu Yangu planned according to the prince's good strategy, but he actually achieved nothing, and the Huns lost face.

The gossip is very loud, and the promotion of Zheyu and others is naturally indispensable behind it. This made Hu Yan, who was worried about the change in the situation of the Xiongnu tribe on the left, thunderous, annoyed and angry, and was even more resentful of Ji Lou Yuan.

Ji Lou Yuan didn't care about Hu Yangu's hatred, there were only dry bones in the mound, and sooner or later he would take his head. Since the first time he found out that Hu Yangu had murderous intent towards him, Ji Louyuan sentenced him to death in his heart, not only blocking his own way, but also being so hateful, he should have lost his life.

Hu Yan's prestige plummeted, and Ji Lou Yuan took advantage of the situation to rise, with his unusual young man's mind and unique charm, he impressed many Huns. Many of the swaying left nobles began to lean towards Ji Lou Yuan, and even the leader of the right side secretly expressed his intention to take refuge in Ji Lou Yuan.

Ji Lou Yuan is young, and his reputation is getting stronger, in addition to his own gathering of a group of people and other publicity, Tu Teshan Yu's support is also indispensable. After the hype, Ji Lou Yuan has been regarded as the next Morton who will lead the Xiongnu to rise again in China, the pride of the sky, has its own uniqueness, and its age is naturally slowly ignored.

In March again, the power of Ji Louyuan underwent earth-shaking changes, and many people who admired it became more and more influential. The power spread to the entire Xiongnu tribe, and the Xiongnu on the left secretly seized the power of his father's conquest and did the same thing as Huyangu.

With Shan Yu's order, he was crowned as the Zuo Commander, Ji Louyuan's career in the late Han Dynasty ushered in the first wave of peaks, and the sixteen-year-old Xiongnu Captain was enough to be proud of the grassland. Of course, Ji Lou Yuan will not be confused by it, the "grand" prestige, how much water is in it, he knows very well in his heart.

The ambition of the owl has long been cultivated, and the number of warriors under his command has expanded to 2,000, and Ji Louyuan has put most of his mind on training this army. Too much falsehood and bubbles will be punctured if you are not careful, and only the real military power is the root of everything.

Ji Louyuan knew in his heart that he still had a chance to completely consolidate his position. And this opportunity soon came, from the Xianbei people.

In the autumn of the fifth year of Xiping, the Xianbei king Tan Shihuai personally led more than 40,000 Xianbei people in the central and western regions to go south to the clouds and plunder the Han realm. Zhang Huan led the army to rescue, according to the previous agreement, the Xiongnu needed to send warriors to the north with the Han army to fight against Xianbei.

The Xiongnu had a group of rotten nobles who knew the danger of going north to fight Xianbei and were reluctant to fight. Ji Lou Yuan took the opportunity to ask for help, Shan Yu seemed to understand Ji Lou Yuan's thoughts, fully supported, supported 2,000 people from the headquarters, 500 people from the left and right Xian Wang, and ordered the cowards to go out of the Xiongnu strong men, and the 5,000 people gathered together were handed over to Ji Lou Yuan.

Zhang Huan led the army to the north, and the Xiongnu, led by Ji Louyuan, the commander of Zuo Dadu, led an army of 7,000 cavalry to assist in resisting the enemy. Fighting with the Xianbei people, every step of the crisis, but there is a danger and there is an opportunity, Ji Louyuan is rushing to the opportunity hidden in the huge risk.

"Prince Ji Louyuan, I haven't seen him for a year, and the prince's prestige is already so loud, I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't know the prince's name in this Hetao!" Zhang Huan's old voice remembered in his ears.

After years of goodbye, Zhang Huan became more and more decayed, like an old tree about to die, leaning against the frame window, constantly shaking as the carriage moved forward, but his sharp eyes always reminded others, and he didn't dare to underestimate this old man.

"Make the king's words heavy, a little thin, don't take it seriously. To make the king fight for a lifetime is the prestige and shock, and it is really a pillar of the north of the Han Dynasty! "This old man who dragged the wind and candle in his last years and still needed to lead the army to fight in this bitter cold place made Ji Louyuan, a utilitarian man, feel respect.

Zhang Huan did not have any fluctuations in Ji Louyuan's praise, he has received countless praises in his life, and he has long passed the age of excitement because of it. is like an outsider staring at Ji Louyuan, as if it is not him who praises, he is not happy with things, he is not sad with himself, it is probably this realm.

"This time, the prince of labor led the army to assist, and the old man is here to thank you! You go back to the Southern Xiongnu cavalry formation, lead the army well, and fight against the Xianbei people, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult and cruel. I hope to do my best with my heart, and don't give birth to other thoughts! Zhang Huan inhaled in a low voice and admonished.

Hearing Zhang Huan's words, Ji Lou Yuan still had the same expression, very respectfully, but there was a gloom in the corner of his eyes. smiled faintly, clasped his fists and saluted, and went back to his main formation.

Staring at the back of Ji Lou Yuan's horse, Zhang Huan sighed, and the fear in his eyes flashed. The more talented and capable Ji Lou Yuan is, the greater the threat to the Han in the future, Zhang Huan is deeply worried!

Seeing Ji Lou Yuan coming back with a gloomy face, his expression was gloomy, and Zheyu couldn't help but ask, "Lord, is there any problem?" Ji Louyuan turned his head and glanced at Zhang Huan's side, and commanded in a condensed voice: "Be careful, I'm afraid this trip won't go well!" ”

Zhang Huan's jealousy of himself, of course Ji Louyuan felt it, and the scrutinizing gaze made Ji Louyuan only feel like a thorn in his back, which made him feel vigilant.

Lan Li asked curiously on the side, "Prince, is there any bad news from Zhang Yuanjun's side?" Ji Lou Yuan felt that Lan Li really didn't know the current affairs, and he couldn't distinguish the situation, and he was still listening to himself at this time, and he was quite serious about Lan Zhi's orders.

There was a mockery in the depths of his pupils, revealing a kind smile: "Xianbei is powerful, and it is Tanshi Huai's pro-Zheng, I have to be careful." Otherwise, if the war does not go well, you will lose your life! ”

Lan Li didn't know it yet, turned around and lowered his head silently, as if he wanted to hide his mind and reduce his sense of existence. There was no contempt in the eyes of Zheyu and Helan Dangfu, and the gaze of Fugu Huai lingered on his neck.

Starting from Meiji, more than 20,000 cavalry of the Han-Hungarian coalition army went straight out of the West River and headed north along the edge of the Gobi in the southeast of Wuyuan. It was more than 100 miles, and he went to Yunzhong in one day, recuperated in Jiling County for half a day, contacted the reinforcements from Dingxiang Yanmen, and rushed north to help Yunzhong City.

On the Xianbei side, hearing that the Han reinforcements were coming, Tanshi Huai quickly gathered the scattered and looted troops and gathered around Yunzhong City.

These days, Tan Shihuai allowed his subordinates to loot in Yunzhong County, ignoring the Han people hiding in the city, until they got the news of Zhang Huan and others, and did they take this quick action, as if they were waiting for reinforcements.

Tan Shihuai knew that as long as the Han reinforcements from the south were defeated, the Han court would no longer have the strength to support the northern frontier in a short period of time, and that was the time to reap the fruits of victory.

Zhang Huan, as a famous general, understood the plan of Tanshihuai after a little thought, converged the Han army from Yanmen Dingxiang, led the army to gallop, and arrived in Yunzhong City in one day, forcing Tanshihuai in the northeast of Yunzhong City, in a narrow space between the barren dry water and the white canal water.
