Hu Chuquan thought of Wei Yan Wei Wenchang who was riding on a black horse and holding a red blood knife, his heart trembled, he felt that Wei Yan was invincible, and he was cowardly all his life, Liu Bao found him a high-sounding reason not to fight Wei Yan head-on, so he took this step down: "Then arrange it like this, I will stay in Meiji and take charge of the overall situation, and King Zuo Xian, you will lead 50,000 horses to attack Wei Yan!" ”

Liu Bao led 50,000 horses, and there were only 5,000 descendants who really belonged to Hu Chuquan and Liu Bao's uncle and nephew.

Most of the elite soldiers under the command of Huchuquan's uncle and nephew stayed in Meiji to monitor other Xiongnu nobles, and most of the people who participated in the conquest of Wei Yan were people from other tribes.

When Da Dan Yu's order was sent to their tribe, they hid the most elite soldiers in the tribe, and sent those herdsmen who were not good at riding and archery, mixed with some old, weak, sick and disabled, so gathered a total of forty or fifty thousand, but the real combat power cannot be overestimated.

Hu Chuquan was defeated by Wei Yan in Hanoi that time, and after exploring the reason, they did not think that their 10,000 Hun cavalry was too incompetent, nor did they think that Wei Yan's army was too strong, but they thought that the allied White Wave thieves were too incompetent and affected them.

The 50,000 Hun cavalry gathered this time are worlds different from the Maodun period, but since the Southern Huns were attached to the Han court, the cavalry of the Southern Huns has never been angry, especially Hu Chuquan's brother, Liu Bao's father Yu Fuluo is a lost dog, and his Hun cavalry has always been Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other people's thugs, and has never been the protagonist on the stage of the Three Kingdoms hegemony, so Hu Chuquan and Liu Bao's uncle and nephew have never felt that this Hun cavalry is now worse there. Because the Hun cavalry has never gotten better in the last hundred years.

Liu Bao took 50,000 Hun cavalry and set off from Meiji City, Xihe County, and marched to Anyi City, Hedong County.

The road was also smooth, the Yellow River near Meiji was gentle, they crossed the Yellow River smoothly, along the Yellow River and Luliang Mountain to the south, after Xihe County Zhili Shicheng, from Shicheng and the residents of several surrounding counties have been peaceful, because most of the people here are Hu and Han mixed people, in addition to the Huns and some Xianbei people, Qiang people, Han people, Liu Bao replenished the military food materials, there is no difficulty for the residents here, continue to march south, until you go to a place called Tongtian Mountain.

Tongtian Mountain, as the name suggests, the mountain is tall and majestic, towering into the clouds, the highest place is more than 6,000 feet, the peaks here are endless, the stones on the main peak are stacked on top of each other, stand in the embrace of ten thousand mountains, protrude above the group of peaks, look like the strange building outside the sky from abruptly, so the later generations will change the name of Tongtian Mountain to Shilou Mountain.

At this time, the peaks of Tongtian Mountain are stacked, the green cypress forest, covering the sky and the sun, there is a rugged mountain road in Tongtian Mountain, which is the only way for Xihe County to lead to Hedong County.

Liu Bao saw that the mountains here in Tongtian Mountain were dangerous, and the trees on both sides of the mountain road were lush and covered the sky and the sun, and he was afraid that Wei Yan's central army would be ambushed here, so he hesitated and refused to pass here, and wanted to make a detour to Taiyuan, where he was flat and not afraid of Wei Yan setting up an ambush there.

At this time, a group of people came from the direction of Huguan, and the first general was Yuan Shao's Xiongnu Zhonglang general Guo Yuan, who was Zhong Xuan's nephew.

In the seventh year of Jian'an (202), Yuan Shang ordered Guo Yuan, Liu Bao, and Gao Gan to attack Hedong, and Guo Yuan's cities were all down. The county official Jia Kui refused to surrender, and the people in the county cherished Jia Kui, and made three chapters of the law with Guo Yuan, so as not to hurt Jia Kui and surrender. Guo Yuan wanted Jia Kui to be his subordinate, but Jia Kui refused. Jia Kui scolded after refusing to kowtow to Guo Yuan, Guo Yuan wanted to behead him, and the people besieged Guo Yuan after knowing it, and Jia Kui fled at night. Cao Cao sent Zhong Xuan to besiege Liu Bao and Guo Yuan arrived, Zhong Xuan ordered Feng Yiren Zhang Ji to persuade Ma Teng to come and jointly attack Guo Yuan. Zhong Xuan expected that Guo Yuan would be stubborn and competitive, and he would definitely cross the river with a light enemy. Guo Yuan crossed the river halfway by Zhong Xuan and Ma Teng's army and Ma Chao's troops, Guo Yuan was killed by Ma Chao's general Pang De, Zhong Yuan cried when he saw Guo Yuan's head.

It is now 197, Guo Yuan is under the command of Shi Gaogan, and serves as the general of the Huns Zhonglang, of course, this Hun Zhonglang will be appointed by Yuan Shao, and it has not been approved by the Xudu Imperial Court.

Originally, Wei Yan didn't want to have any conflict with Yuan Shao, and only wanted to destroy the White Wave Thieves and the Southern Xiongnu, but Yuan Shao thought that Wei Yan wanted to deal with him, so he asked Guo Yuan to lead 10,000 horses over to join forces with Hu Chuquan and Liu Bao to deal with Wei Yan.

Guo Yuan was furious when he heard Liu Bao say this, regardless of whether Liu Bao was the noble Zuoxian King of the Southern Huns, he raised his big knife, slapped Liu Bao's helmet contemptuously, and shouted: "Stupid, after passing Tongtian Mountain, you will arrive at Hedong County, detour to Taiyuan, and you will cross Luliang Mountain, you will not be able to reach Hedong County in ten days and half a month!" ”

Liu Bao was humiliated by this, and he wanted to get angry, but he also thought that if it wasn't for Yuan Shao's help behind his back, he and Hu Chuquan would definitely still be lost dogs, and the fire was held in his heart, and he didn't dare to send it out, so he had to accompany him with a smile: "Then in General Guo's opinion, what should our army do?" ”

Guo Yuan had long expected that Liu Bao was an eggless man, and he didn't dare to grin with himself, so he laughed proudly: "Our army scouts have reported that all the horses under the command of Wei Yandu are attacking Baibo Valley, and all 30,000 horses are dispatched, there can be no Wei Yan's men and horses here, we can pass with confidence!" ”

"Ah, Wei Yan attacking Baibo Valley?" Liu Bao captured several beautiful wives and concubines with the more than 30,000 Southern Huns, the old, weak, sick and disabled hidden in Hu Cai's Baibo Valley, and he and his uncle's cronies and cavalry were in Baibo Valley, once the Baibo Valley was broken by Wei Yan's army, Liu Bao really didn't know that those cronies under his command could still maintain some military morale!

Liu Bao said sadly: "Then according to General Guo's wishes, quickly pass through Tongtian Mountain, hurry to Baibo Valley, and rescue our relatives!" ”

Guo Yuan was originally indifferent to the life and death of the more than 30,000 Huns, the old, weak, sick and disabled, but he thought of a little military opportunity that could be used: "If when we arrive at Baibo Valley, Wei Yan's men and horses have not yet invaded Baibo Valley, we can join forces with Hu Cai's Baibo army to attack Wei Yan's men and horses, and we will definitely be able to beat Wei Yan to the ground, Wei Yan is now a big trouble for my lord, if I defeat Wei Yan, my lord will definitely not treat me badly, maybe my status is a few levels higher than Yan Liang and Wen Chou!" ”

Thinking of this, Guo Yuan impatiently urged Liu Bao to march.

Liu Bao first sent scouts to explore the way, those scouts below him are used to grassland life, in this mountain forest is not used to it, dense grass and trees dazzle them, after looking for a long time can not find the slightest trace of the enemy, so he went back to report, saying that no trace of the enemy was found.
