The recovery of Yunzhong County is of great strategic significance.

Wen Chou was very excited after receiving this order, and he regarded it more as the lord's attention and training to him; For Xu Lin and Xue Yin, this is to recover their homeland, it is their mission, even if they can't serve as the main general, they must move forward bravely.

Li Su had a lot of opinions about garrisoning Dingxiang County, but he still actively prepared for the war, striving for the opportunity to participate in the battle to recover Wuyuan County in the future.

All the ministries were very active in recovering their homeland, and when they received the order, they took action.

Ma Gui transferred four divisions of cavalry from Taoyuan Fort to support Xu Lin, passed through Sanchakou Fort and passed through Bianguan Fort, and joined Xu Lin in only five days, making Xu Lin's cavalry reach 5,000 people.

In order to save time, Zhao Xiong directly transferred the cavalry of the four divisions stationed in Mayi County to Shanwu County, which was faster; Later, his apprentice Zhang Liao led the cavalry of the four divisions to Mayi to garrison and ensure the supply of logistics materials.

Zhang Liao is seventeen years old, with a handsome appearance and extraordinary martial arts, and is now Zhao Xiong's right-hand man.

Tian Feng's speed was not slow, and Sima Zhao Rui led two Han cavalry and two Wu Huanyi from the cavalry to Qiangyin to station; The Lumin and Xu Fu stationed in Qiangyin and the troops under their jurisdiction were transferred to Wujin County under the command of Xue Yin, making Xue Yin's cavalry reach 5,000 people, and there were 2,500 more attacking battalions with superior combat power.

The large-scale military movement on the Han army's side was soon detected by the Xianbei people, and they were extremely alarmed by this.

King Helian was terrified in his heart, hoping to give up Yunzhong County to Dahan, and ordered Budugen to evacuate to Wuyuan County as soon as possible to ensure the safety of his troops.

However, Budugen did not want to retreat without a fight, but gathered his army and stationed in Cloud City, ready to face the battle; He was very angry and cowardly in his heart, and he was actually frightened by the Han army, which damaged the prestige of the king of Tanshihuai.

In his opinion, the current Han border army is particularly dangerous, changing the tactics of driving straight into the past, changing to the tactics of step-by-step and steady fighting, gradually encroaching on the pastures of the Xianbei people, and not arranging for the people to live in the newly occupied territory, only stationing the army, reducing the burden, so that the Xianbei cavalry did not even have the opportunity to plunder; The Han border army held the city, and if Xianbei attacked, it would be difficult to conquer for a while, and it would soon attract a large army of the Han Dynasty, and even surround their siege troops.

This time, the Han border army took the initiative to attack, if it did not give the Han a hard blow, the Han border army would definitely gain an inch, and after recovering Yunzhong County, it would definitely think about recovering Wuyuan County and Shuofang County, and the unrealistic optimism of the Han must be curbed, and the Han people must understand that on the grassland, it is still the world of their nomads.

Yunzhong City has a history of hundreds of years, although it has been destroyed by previous wars, it is still the largest city in Yunzhong County, the city is tall, and the location is excellent, it is located on the east bank of the barren water (now the big black river), and the east is not far from the Baiqushui (now the baby river), it is in the middle of the two rivers, which is very conducive to defense.

However, Budugen did not want to defend the city, he was good at cavalry tactics such as detours, outflanking, surprise attacks, and sneak attacks that the nomads were good at, looking for the enemy's weak links in rapid movement, and seizing advantageous fighters to quickly eliminate and strike at the enemy.

He will definitely not stick to a city, otherwise, if there is no backup after being besieged by the Han army, he will definitely be trapped to death by the Han army.

He estimated that the Han army would definitely divide into several routes, and he was ready to concentrate superior forces and destroy one of them first; In the field, if the battle does not go well, he can also quickly evacuate without being surrounded or completely annihilated.

King Helian was very angry at Budugen's approach, but he couldn't see death without help, so he ordered his nephew Kuitou to lead 10,000 cavalry to enter Qiyang County at the junction of Yunzhong County and Wuyuan County, so as to rescue Budugen at any time and make preparations to prevent the Han border army from continuing to advance westward.

Located on the north bank of the Yellow River, Qiyang County is the closest place between Daqingshan and the Yellow River, and its narrow passage is very easy to defend.

Because Zhao Xiong and Tian Feng assisted Wen Chou in more troops than Gao Shun's orders, his strength was even stronger now.

Counting the army under the jurisdiction of Sima Xu Zhen, the cavalry alone reached 7,000, plus 3,000 Wuhuan Yicong cavalry, the total strength reached 10,000, not counting the reserve troops organized by the Wuhuan tribes.

Now, Wen Chou has so many troops, and his goal is even greater, not only to recover Yunzhong County, but also to wipe out the cavalry under Budugen's jurisdiction, or inflict heavy losses.

The war has not yet begun, and the scout war has begun on the steppe. Both sides sent capable cavalry as scouts to engage in brutal battles on the grasslands; In order to obtain information and eliminate opponents, various means are developed.

The news about Budugen kept coming back, and Wen Chou already had a plan in his heart.

He decided to lead the enemy out of the hole first, and then wait for the opportunity to surround him, and strive to annihilate the cavalry of Budugen; If Budugen is unmoved, he will gradually advance, directly fight with it, and use superior forces to eliminate Budugen.

Therefore, Wen Chou ordered the army Sima Shizhao to lead the infantry to garrison Shanwu County, and let the 5,000 army led by Li Su be stationed in Shenhepo (the later generation of the Killing Tiger Mouth), and he himself led 10,000 cavalry out of Shenhepo and went to Wujin County to make peace with Xue Yin.

Li Su is very supportive of this adjustment method, so that he is closer to the battlefield, and if the battle on the front line is not going well, he can go into battle at any time.

In order to avoid being detected by the Xianbei people, Wen Chou not only sent a large number of scouts to the surrounding areas to kill the Xianbei scouts, but also divided the army into many small units, each two parts of the army as a marching unit, marching in different periods, so that the Xianbei scouts could not count the number of troops he sent.

and sent an order to Xu Lin, if the Xianbei people attacked, they would cut off their rear roads, otherwise they would not move; This made Xu Lin very depressed, originally he still wanted to be the main attacker, but now he can only be an assist, and he probably won't even be able to drink some soup.

Since the surrounding Xianbei scouts have been cleared, and they have obtained Budugen to concentrate their troops in Cloud City, Wen Chou and Xue Yin are relieved to boldly bypass the southern part of Manhan Mountain and successfully occupy Chengle County, even if it is an empty city, it still makes everyone very happy.

Along with the cavalry came the fortified battalion of the Koji people; Wen Chou is ready to use Chengle City as a temporary material transit place, and the Koji people's fortified battalion is responsible for garrisoning it, absolutely ensuring that nothing goes wrong.

Chengle City is located on the south bank of Baiqu Water, less than 100 miles away from Yunzhong City.

Since Gao Shun did not set a specific time for the recovery of Yunzhong County, Wen Chou was steady and steady, and he was not in a hurry to be found by the Xianbei people; Now he sent scouts to inquire about the news, and at the same time asked Xu Zhen to lead the cavalry of his headquarters and the Wuhuan reserve army to transport heavy supplies to Chengle City, while calculating the next tactics.

This caused Xue Yin to be a little dissatisfied, thinking that Wen Chou was too conservative and too cautious.

Wen Chou carefully inquired about Xue Yin's situation in Yunzhong City, and he would not let the troops attack the city unless he had to, and it was the best policy to lure the Xianbei cavalry out.

Budugen's scouts also sent back news about the Han army, and the Han border army only sent one force, the exact number of which is unknown, and has now occupied Chengle City.

This made Budugen very puzzled, the Han people were so happy that they would generally divide the army into several roads, so that the number of troops on each road was not large, and the Han people were generally not very harmonious with each other, and they lacked mutual cooperation, so it was easy to find fighters.

Now the Han Chinese only sent an army, and they used the tactics of shrinking, which made it a little difficult for him to grasp.
