If Budugen wants to lead his people out safely, he must occupy the nearest chicken crow stop.

Jilusai is located in the northwest of Dengkou County (Bayan Gaole) in the west of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, at the south mouth of Halonggenai Canyon in the southwest section of Wolf Mountain, the canyon runs through the north and south of Yangshan Mountain (now Wolf Mountain), and the valley floor is flat; It is adjacent to the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty in the north and Tushenze in the east, which is the northwest department of the Han Dynasty, and controls the traffic throat through Yangshan; The cliff building of the city is made of stone, which is square in shape, and stands on the west side of the gorge.

The north side is steep and steep, majestic and magnificent; The front of the mountain is open and open, and the flat river is sloping; To the east of the stone city, the valley mouth is open, unobstructed, passing cars, horses and pedestrians, at a glance, 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 is like a wall, if there is no special equipment, it is difficult to climb; The four corners of the city wall protrude outwards respectively, resembling a corner tower platform; If you set up an ambush here, you can monitor and block the enemy who sneaks up from the city; The building materials are all natural flake stones, and the stone cracks are stuffed with mud, and the outer surface of the city wall is neatly built.

Budugen arranged for 10,000 cavalry to seize and hold the rooster stop; 20,000 cavalry continued to be stationed in Linrong City, pinning down and monitoring the cavalry of the leader; Another 10,000 cavalry were responsible for moving more than 100,000 people out of the fortress.

The people who left the fortress are now living in different places, and they also have to drive cattle and sheep, and carry tents and other daily necessities, and the migration speed is slow, it takes a long time, and Budugen is anxious.

And the leader was not stupid, he soon learned of Budugen's conspiracy, and hurriedly sent troops to storm Linrong City, and at the same time sent someone to inform the Han border army that they could enter Shuofang County and prevent Budugen from moving his people away.

This move was in Gao Shun's arms, and he urgently ordered Tian Feng, Guan Yu, and Lü Bu to send troops into Shuofang County to prevent Budugen from relocating his people and eliminate Budugen's cavalry.

Budugen had a large-scale bloody battle with Kuitou in Linrong City, and for the sake of their own futures, they both wanted to win the war, and the two sides fought very cruelly.

Budugen had few soldiers and was not the opponent of the leader, so he had to lead the troops to break through, and finally broke through the encirclement of less than 5,000 people, and the rest were all killed, and the casualties of the leader reached more than 10,000 people.

However, the leader did not want to let Budugen leave easily, leaving a legacy for his rule, so he left five thousand cavalry to guard the spoils of war plundered from the Northlands; He personally led 25,000 cavalry to chase after Budugen.

The two sides had another fierce battle at the Jiming Fortress, Budugen lost more than 7,000 cavalry, and the leader lost more than 10,000 people, but he was still unable to occupy the fortress, and the two sides formed a state of confrontation.

The confrontation between the two sides bought time for Gao Shun.

Gao Shun ordered Tian Feng, Guan Yu and Lü Bu to lead the troops to launch a frenzied liquidation of the cavalry sent out by Budugen, and carried out a frenzied plundering of the people of the leader.

At the beginning, it was agreed that without the invitation of the Kuitou, the Han army was not allowed to enter the area north of the Yellow River in Shuofang County, but this time it was invited by the Kuitou, Tian Feng and others naturally would not be polite, not only plundering their cattle, sheep and horses, etc., but also meeting beautiful women and girls, they did not let go; The slaves they encountered were freed and joined the plunder.

The happiest was Lü Bu, which was a legitimate plunder under the protection of a large army, and without pressure, the plunder efficiency was greatly improved; According to the agreement with Gao Shun, Lü Bu only plundered for three days, as long as livestock and supplies, the rescued Han slaves were to be given to Gao Shun to settle in Yunzhong County or Wuyuan County, and foreign slaves could be used as Lü Bu's slaves; The plundered Xianbei women will be sold to Gao Shun.

In the end, more than 100,000 people of the Kuitou tribe were taken away by Bu Dugen, more than 10,000 slaves were freed, more than 10,000 women were plundered by Gao Shun and Lu Bu, and nearly 10,000 people were killed for resistance in the chaos.

The rest of the people are less than 50,000 people, and the leader wants to cry without tears, but he can run to Dugen, he is satisfied, and he can justifiably serve as the king of Xianbei; Now his strength is weak, and he was stabbed in the back by the Han people, but he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he could only pretend to be smiling and hold back the anger in his chest.

Gao Shun ordered the troops to withdraw, leaving the area north of the Yellow River in Shuofang County to the head of the Kuitou to graze, and assuming the puppet of the Han court's sight.

The news was reported to the capital, and Wuyuan County was successfully recovered.

However, the credit was given to Zhou Fei and Guan Yu.

In the letter to the imperial court, Gao Shun complained that he dispatched 50,000 cavalry, Xianbei dispatched 80,000 cavalry, he lost nearly 30,000 cavalry, Xianbei lost nearly 20,000 people, he was unable to attack, temporarily defended with the Yellow River as the boundary, and was fortunate to be able to recover Wuyuan County.

If Zhou Fei hadn't sent Guan Yu to contain the Xianbei people from the south bank of the Yellow River, he would even be in danger of being wiped out.

The imperial court received Gao Shun's report, and all the high-ranking officials were taken aback by Xianbei's strength, and they actually gathered 80,000 cavalry in a short period of time, which would definitely bring serious disasters to Dahan Border County in the past.

Emperor Liu Hong didn't care about Gao Shun's losses at all, he only cared about whether to recover Wuyuan County, if he waited to recover Shuofang County, he would become the emperor of the ages.

Last time, Zhang Rang received a bribe from Gao Shun, so he naturally spoke for Gao Shun, so he suggested to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the champion Hou has fought against Xianbei several times in a row, and has suffered heavy losses. It will return to the previous passive situation. ”

Emperor Liu Hong is mediocre, but not stupid, if he persecutes Gao Shun too much, it will be detrimental to the royal family, if he declines, the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty will fall into chaos again, so he decided: "Haha, what Zhang Changshi said makes sense, let the champion Hou develop steadily for a few years, and then work hard to recover Shuofang County, and assist Guangnian Hou to recover Beidi County and Anding County." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will give the champion Hou a decree tomorrow!" Zhang Rang was overjoyed in his heart, this can be regarded as Gao Shun's favor.

Liu Hong thought for a while and asked: "Champion Hou is still very loyal, even if his strength is not as good as that of the Xianbei people, in order to complete my will, he still chose to fight hard with the Xianbei people, the sincerity is commendable, and he has continuously recovered Yunzhong County and Wuyuan County, and has made outstanding achievements, how to reward it?" I can't chill the hearts of the soldiers. ”

Zhang Rang knew that His Majesty loved money and must not reward money and other things, so after thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, the champion Hou has listed six warriors who fought desperately with the Xianbei people. ”

Liu Hong felt that this method was good, it didn't cost much, but it could divide the relationship between the champion Hou and his subordinates, and let them know that their power came from the emperor's authorization, so he said: "Okay, good, I like Zhang Changshi's method very much, so let's implement it according to this method." ”

Zhang Rang suggested again: "Your Majesty, if even Guan Yu is also named the Marquis of Guannei, it can be regarded as a comfort to the Marquis of Guangnian." ”

"Okay, I'm done!"

The emperor was not shocked, but the big family in the capital was greatly shocked, this was the first time they learned that Gao Shun's real strength was strong, just a part of the troops were dispatched to have 50,000 cavalry, if you count all the troops, wouldn't it be more than 100,000 cavalry?

Not to mention 100,000 cavalry, even 100,000 war horses are also the wealth of a rich country, and to feed 100,000 war horses, a huge amount of materials is needed; And even if there are 100,000 infantry, it is the largest military force in the Han Dynasty, and it is really unwise to confront Gao Shun.

Only the Yuan family was shocked by Gao Shun's strength again, and their resentment towards Gao Shun was even worse, so they accelerated the implementation of their long-term plan.
