Jin Liang was very happy when he learned that Tuoba Jiefen had led 40,000 cavalry from the headquarters to approach the city, and he was trying to get rid of Tuoba Ministry, but he didn't expect him to automatically send it to the door.

Jin Liang stayed in the local military and political affairs of the Hetao Governor of Gaoshun, settled the Xiongnu herdsmen in the Hetao, Jin Liang led the headquarters of the Guards Division, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Ju Yi, Zhu Lingbu, with the assistance of the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Huchuquan and Feiyan Army Zhang Yan, the 200,000 army poured into the city, but claimed that there were only 30,000 cavalry, in fact, the 200,000 army has 80,000 cavalry, of which 30,000 were captured by the Xiongnu's good horses and quickly equipped, the most important training of the Central Army in the past year is horsemanship, in addition to the naval army, All armies had to train in horsemanship, and a year of hard training would allow them to quickly become elite cavalry once they had good horses.

Except for the 30,000 elite cavalry exposed, the rest of the teams all died down, day and night, just to hide from the arrogant Tuoba Jiefen, so that his myth of Tuoba Xianbei would never have a chance to be written into the garbage history book "Book of Wei".

Jin Liang rode on the red rabbit horse, looking at the prairie in the early winter, the north wind is bleak, the pasture grass is withered and yellow, although there is a decay scene, but you can also imagine the happy scene of the herd of cattle and sheep in this prairie when everything recovers in the spring of the next year, the Yellow River water in the distance flows through here, different from the downstream ocean raging, the Yellow River in the shape of the river loop flows very calmly, generously irrigating this piece of fertile soil, you can imagine what kind of scene it will be if it is properly protected, not to mention the desert grassland, The Hetao area alone can raise all the alien races who are in trouble in the north, and they can eat and drink without worry, and have enough food and clothing.

Jin Liang turned around and asked the frustrated professor who was following him: "Gonghe, the Yellow River is harmful, only one is rich, and millions of Han people downstream have been harmed to form a fertile land here, why do we want to hand it over to this group of foreign races to multiply?" ”

In the past few days, he has always had objections to Jin Liang's arson of the mountains to break the Xiongnu coalition army, he thinks that Jin Liang's methods are too spicy and hurt the peace of the world, but Jin Liang thinks that he needs to correct his attitude towards foreign races.

Fu Zhu shook his head and said: "My lord, the imperial court used to place these alien races in the Hetao in order to make him attached and attached to our Han court. Since the Southern Xiongnu annexed to the Han Dynasty, they have benefited from the Hetao, and other foreign races such as Qiang and Wuhuan have also sensed the magnanimity of our Han and have joined our Han and followed our Han army to resist Xianbei. ”

Jin Liang sneered: "Gonghe, you have been studying in Jizhou as an official, I don't know about the border fortress, what you said about annexation, just the imperial court used it to cover up their incompetence, I have lived in Wuyuan County for fifteen years, and I have never seen the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Qiang sincerely belong to my Han, but I have seen them invade Bingzhou and Youzhou again and again, loot our Han people's property, women, and kill my Han men and children. As for resisting Xianbei together, I see more of the Southern Xiongnu succumbing to Xianbei, and as Xianbei's pawns, they came to attack and harass the Han border that attacked us. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Liang said sadly and inexplicably: "Hey, even I know that a rough martial artist knows that humans and wolves can't coexist, why don't the ministers of the ruling family in the court know, they have relaxed their minds to these beast-like alien races, forgiven the trips of these alien races again and again, and gave them such a rich land for them to recuperate, raise them, and then eat my big man!" ”

For a moment, he was speechless, no matter how much he prevaricated with words such as the enlightenment of saints, he couldn't ignore the blood and tears of the Han people in Biansai.

After thinking about it for a long time, he came up with a rhetoric: "My lord, if it weren't for Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Rebellion, if Dong Zhuo was in charge and caused the princes to rise up, maybe our Han court would have wiped out these alien races." ”

Jin Liang shook his head and said: "As long as everyone has the idea that the outside must first be safe, there will only be snipes and mussels competing for the benefit of fishermen, and the princes will fight, and only these foreign races will be cheaper. To tell the truth, if it weren't for my Jin Liang, I'm afraid that we Han people would never have recovered the Hetao one day. ”

Jin Liang's words are true, if he did not recover the Hetao now, according to historical records, from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Republic of China, the Han people only limited control of the Hetao in the Sui Dynasty, and then the Tang Dynasty generously gave the Hetao to foreign races, the Song Dynasty did not control it at all, and the Ming Dynasty also generously gave it to foreign races, and the Han people's magnanimity to foreign races will only create their greed. The loss of the Hetao, a horse breeding land, made the Han people not strong enough cavalry to resist the invasion of foreign races in the north, and they have always been passively beaten. Without strong enough cavalry to ensure the agrarian civilization, the nomadic barbarism such as the Wuhu Chaohua, the Jurchen annihilation of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Mongol annihilation of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's extermination of the Ming Dynasty would be repeated again.

Looking at all the history, Jin Liang didn't understand very much, the Han rulers of the previous dynasties, didn't they understand that the alien race on the grassland was hungry wolves, and they actually used some bullshit to show magnanimity and benevolence as a reason, not only put these hungry wolves into the Sei, but also provided them with countless money and food, and raised some hungry wolves who could be starved and killed if they continued to starve into vicious wolves.

In Jin Liang's eyes, there is only one ethnic group in the Han Dynasty, that is, the Han nation, and other nomadic peoples, whether they are Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Qianghu, Ding Ling, Xianbei or others, must be Sinicized, otherwise they will only perish.

Jin Liang continued to march in the northwest direction, crossed the Yellow River at Lingshuo City, Shuofang County, and pointed directly at the two passes of Jimingsai and Gaoyun.

Jilusai, located in the northwest of Dengkou County, Shuofang County, in the southwest section of the Wolf Mountain, the south mouth of the Harunge Gorge, the canyon runs through the north and south of the Wolf Mountain, the valley bottom is flat, the north is the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, the east is adjacent to Tu Shenze, it is the northwest department of the Han Dynasty, it controls the traffic throat that crosses the Wolf Mountain, the Western Han Dynasty began to place the plug, the city is built on the cliff, it is made of stone, it is square, it stands on the west side of the gorge, it is located on the high ground on the west side of the mouth of the Halonai Valley, it is about four zhang higher than the valley bottom, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack the dangerous pass.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty abandoned Shuofang County to Linrong, Jilusai has actually lost its original role and has become a dilapidated small city, in which only some descendants of hopeless Han garrison veterans remain here, making a living by trading with the Xianbei people and the Huns.

The pioneer Zhang Liao led 20,000 horses into this fortress and immediately renovated and improved the ruined city wall here.

At the same time, Lu Yi led 20,000 horses to enter the Gao Rong Pass, Gao Rong is a gap in the northwest of the Yinshan Mountain Range in Bayannur, the shape is like a door, so there is this name, it is rumored to be the end of the Great Wall built by King Wuling of Zhao, and it is an important pass of the Great Wall of Qin and Han Dynasties, the Jin Ge Iron Horse of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu repeatedly went out of the Wolf Mountain to attack the Xiongnu in the north, but when the Eastern Han Dynasty gave up these passes for two hundred years, there was a barren grass here, because the Huns and the Xianbei people were not interested in defending here, they preferred the nomadic life of migrating by water and grass.

Zhang Liao personally supervised the repair of the Jilu Plug, and he constantly inspected the repair of the city wall, and gave guidance based on his own experience.

"General Zhang. Why do you attach so much importance to this chicken deer stopper? There is really nothing to be gained in this tattered pass. A soldier who followed closely behind Zhang Liao asked.

Zhang Liao turned his head and looked at this soldier who joined the army, it turned out to be a military cadet who came out of the Central University Hall Military Academy. Having never had a military career before, it's no wonder that such a simple question is asked.

Zhang Liao knew that the lord attached great importance to these military cadets, so he was not as cold as ordinary officers and soldiers in the army. Patiently explained: "In the previous dynasty, the Xiongnu were placed in the northwest of Shuofang County in Yuting, and we sent troops to attack the Xiongnu across Yinshan, so we had to go through Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang, these routes, Shuofang attacked, and crossed the main passage of Yinshan, which is this Jilusai, and thus went north for forty miles. It is a dam ditch, and then in the north, you can climb over the Yin Mountain and enter the Mobei area. This chicken deer plug is a shortcut from Shuofang to Mobei. ”

The soldier suddenly woke up and said: "It is said that the Xianbei Tuoba Department occupies the hometown of the Xiongnu, and that Tuoba Jiefen goes south, and it also has to pass through Jilusai?" ”

Zhang Liao said in his heart. No wonder the lord values these cadets so much, although they have little experience, they are smart and witty, can draw inferences from others, and grow quickly. Compared with those veterans who can't read a single word, it is much more reproducible.

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "A hundred years ago, the generals Dou Xian and Geng Bing led 8,000 elite horsemen, from here out of the fortress, invaded Mobei, and beat the Northern Xiongnu to flee in embarrassment. How could General Dou Xian be impeached by the traitor Yuan An, and was jealous of the saint at that time, and was forced to commit suicide. Now, all this will eventually change, and we, General Jin, will take our Central Army out of the fortress from here, defeat the Xianbei people, and make the Hu people dare not graze horses in the fortress again. ”

A few days later, Jin Liang personally supervised the army to come to Jilusai, Jin Liang entered the city from the only south gate, climbed the city wall along the stone road, raised his eyes and looked around, the north side of the mountain is steep and steep, majestic and magnificent, the front of the mountain is empty and open, the flat river is sloping, and the east of the stone city, the valley mouth is open, there is no obstruction, the passing cars and horses and pedestrians are unobstructed, and it is very easy to hold. The east wall of the stone city is the most dangerous, it is built close to the edge of the high steps, this terrace rises from the bottom of the valley, the wall stands like a wall, up to six zhang, plus the stone wall two zhang high, the total is as high as eight zhang, if there is no special equipment, it is absolutely difficult to climb. The top of the wall is about one zhang and two feet wide, and the base of the wall is about one zhang and eight feet thick. The four corners of the city wall protrude outwards by more than eight feet, resembling a corner tower platform; If you set up an ambush here, you can monitor and block the enemy who sneaks up from below the city. The building materials are all natural flake stones, the stone cracks are plugged with mud, and the outer surface of the city wall is neatly built, but due to the erosion of wind and rain for many years, the top of the wall has collapsed in many places now, and it has been repaired by Zhang Liao.

Jin Liang stood on the chicken deer stopper, thinking of an eternal beauty, Wang Zhaojun. In the third year of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty (51 B.C.), the Xiongnu called Han Evil Shan to enter Chang'an for the first time, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty ordered two thousand horsemen from seven counties along the way to welcome. Shan Yu arrived in Chang'an and was treated with special courtesy by Emperor Xuan. When it returned to Mobei from Chang'an, it was through the Jilusai through the Yin Mountain to the north. The Han Dynasty not only sent troops to escort it, but also turned around the side of the grain and rice to give him food. Since then, there has been a prosperous and peaceful scene of "no trace of the resumption of troops for more than 60 years", "there has been no fireworks for several generations, the people are blazing, and the cattle and horses are wild". In the first year of Jingning in the Western Han Dynasty (33 B.C.), Shan Yu re-entered the dynasty, and Emperor Yuan gave Shan Yu to Zhaojun, the queen of the harem Liangjia. Zhaojun went out of the fortress with a single person, that is, from Jilusai through the Harunggenai Gorge, to Mobei. After Hu Han Xie Shan Yu and Wang Zhaojun returned to Mobei, due to internal disputes, their husband and wife had avoided Jilu Saishi City for eight years.

Frustrated to climb the head of the Jilu City, standing beside Jin Liang, in recent days, the communication with the border Han people, has eliminated his previous knot, he completely agrees with Jin Liang's national policy, non-my race will have a different heart, if you can't sinicize, you must be strong pressure.

Fu Zhi carefully studied the map of this area, and said to Jin Liang with a smile: "The lord is here in Jilusai, I expect that Tuoba will definitely come to Jilusai, and our army has attacked dozens of Xiongnu tribes in Hetao before this, and it is very tired, and Tuoba Xianbei has not fought before, so it is not the best strategy to wait for work, whether it is a field battle between the two armies or blindly defending in this Jilusai, it is not the best strategy." ”

Jin Liang smiled and asked, "Presumably the public has already made up his mind, please tell me in detail." ”

Fu Zhi took out a map, pointed to a place, and said to Jin Liang: "Lord, from the Tuoba tribe to Jilusai, we have to pass through this dam ditch in the middle, it is better for us to ambush the opponent in the dam ditch." ”

Twenty miles north of Jilusai, is the mouth of the dam ditch, where there is also a stone city that echoes with Jilusai. In the north and southwest of Jilusai, whenever there are twists and turns in the valley or there are deviations, there are beacons, and the approximate distance between the beacons varies from one to two miles. These beacons and Jilusai, Dabagou Shicheng together formed the Western Han Dynasty to defend the military defense line of the Hetao area, the establishment and prosperity of the three counties of Linrong, Yaohun and Sanfeng in Shuofang County of the Western Han Dynasty are inseparable from the strong military defense line in the area of Jilusai, how can the Eastern Han Dynasty give up all here.

Jin Liang shook his head lightly and said: "We used a plan to burn the Xiongnu coalition army, presumably that Tuoba already knew about it, he will definitely guard against our strategy, we are only ambushed in the dam ditch, I'm afraid he will see through." ”

Fu Zhu thought for a while, and said with a smile: "That Tuoba has just migrated to the hometown of the Xiongnu from Beihai, and they don't know the details of the lord and the central army, so we might as well send a force to meet the Tuoba Department first, only defeat but not victory, and lure the Tuoba Department into our ambush circle." ”

Jin Liang looked at the 20,000 Hun cavalry that had just been newly formed, although the Huns were all very strong, but they were used to a nomadic life, uninhibited by nature, no sense of discipline, loose and loose, although their main general Xu Huang was good at governing the army, but they could not be reborn in a short time, Jin Liang pointed to the 20,000 newly formed Hun cavalry and said: "Why bother to defeat, let's really lose, send 20,000 cavalry to test it, and consume the combat power of the Xianbei cavalry." ”

In the past few days, Tuoba Jiefen, the head of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe, while rectifying the elite men of the tribe and preparing to go on the expedition, sent people to probe the details of Jin Liang's central army, and the results of the investigation made him very depressed, and he began to feel that Jin Liang was not easy to provoke, and his heart was full of regret. But the bold words at the Western Xianbei Touren Conference had already been said and could not be taken back, and the Western Xianbei Lord Zhi Luoluo also issued a formal order to him to send troops, so he could only bite the bullet, take all the young and strong men of the entire tribe, and lead the army to Jilusai.

On this day, the 40,000 cavalry of the Tuoba Department arrived at the mouth of the ditch on the north side of the dam ditch, the dam ditch is the old road of the Yellow River in the past, the Yellow River has been diverted to the east hundreds of years ago, but the ditch has become the only way for the Huns and Xianbei people to go from Mobei to Shuofang County, there is no road here, there are more people who walk, the bottom of the ditch is very flat, the horses gallop, it is even bento, the only thing to worry about is the river valley on both sides of the dam ditch, the grass is dense, if Jin Liang ambushes thousands of troops and horses here, Tuoba Jiefen and all the young men of the tribe, if it is ambushed, the Tuoba Department is finished, and it is known that Jin Liang likes to ambush enemy troops the most.

Tuoba Jiefen sent scouts, climbed the slopes of the ditch on both sides, and carefully investigated, Tuoba Jiefen himself led most of the men and horses, and marched slowly.

As soon as the scouts sent by Tuoba Jiefen climbed the slopes of the ditch on both sides, they saw a large group of cavalry rushing to the south side of the dam ditch, without a flag, which looked strange and inexplicable, and was a little different from the ordinary Han Dynasty cavalry, but for a while, they couldn't see the difference, because these cavalry were indeed wearing Han armor.

As the first general, the face is like bronze, silkworm eyebrows and deer eyes, short hair under the chin, majestic and mighty, galloping, wielding a big axe, shouting: "Xianbei wild dogs, dare to come to the Han to forage for food!" ”

Tuoba Jiefen was furious, and hurriedly sent the warriors of the Tuoba Department to challenge the Han generals on the opposite side.

The warriors of the Tuoba Department couldn't make three moves, and they were chopped to death by the opposite Han general with an axe.

The Han general on the opposite side took advantage of this big victory, and shouted loudly: "Chong, cut Xianbei and reward ten acres of pasture, cut Xianbei and reward one hundred acres of pasture!" ”

Tuoba Jiefen felt very strange, why the reward offered by the Han general on the other side was to reward the pasture.

Xu Huang, who was armed with a Xuanhua axe, led 20,000 Hun cavalry and went straight to the 40,000 Xianbei cavalry led by Tuoba Jiefen.

Tuoba Jiefen is worthy of being the ancestor of the later Northern Wei Emperor Wu Emperor Tuoba Tao, although he is a barbaric nomadic background, does not understand the text, but also has no teacher, knows the art of leading troops to arrange the formation, he Tuoba Department can stand out from dozens of Xianbei tribes together with the Murong Department, and establish so many countries later, and Tuoba Lin, Tuoba Jiefen, Tuoba Liwei and other military attainments are inseparable, Tuoba Department under their leadership, brave and good at fighting, combat effectiveness in the current Xianbei tribe is absolutely among the best.
