Chapter 250: The Battle of Zhuojun

More than 7,000 remnants of the army were gathered and fled, and Yang Xi ordered Jian to lead 9,000 light cavalry to pursue, but he must prevent the other party from ambushing.

Simply dressed lightly, following the partial, chasing in the Hexi Corridor, more than 300 miles to the north, killing more than 3,000 people, and getting more than 2,000 horses.

Yang Xi ordered to count the battle damage, and found that there were more than 3,000 wounded, but there were very few dead, and such a large-scale group army battle, after the battle, only more than 500 people were killed.

There were 12,000 prisoners of war, most of whom were infantry, and 13,000 uninjured horses and more than 4,000 lightly wounded horses, which was considered an extremely fat harvest.

Yang Xi ordered to camp by the river, and the flying ball was monitored at any time, and he ordered someone to pass the battle report to Cao Cao, who attacked Zhuo County.

After a day's rest, on the second day, Yang Xi ordered 10,000 infantry to transport prisoners, 3,000 horses and wounded back to the seashore to transport these supplies to the Chenhe Islands.

As for leaving 10,000 war horses, they directly began to change the infantry to cavalry. Ganning's 30,000-strong army is equivalent to 10,000 more light cavalry.

Yang Xi's troops, horse warfare is a compulsory course in basic training, as long as there are horses, they are cavalry, and the war horses of the Wuhuan people are no worse than the war horses purchased by Dong Maru from Liaodong, they are all carefully selected.

The Hu people's requirements for horses are similar to the Han people's requirements for their wives.

In Zhuo County, Cao Cao and Badun confronted each other for several days, and there were constant battles every day, each with injuries, and a stalemate.

With the assistance of the flying ball, the advantage of the Bandun cavalry was leveled, but Cao Cao couldn't get any benefits, after all, Cao Cao's cavalry, in addition to the tiger and leopard cavalry, only more than 10,000 light horsemen remained, and 50,000 iron horsemen were not easy to mess with.

Cao Cao's camp, at this time, the generals were discussing how to break the enemy, and suddenly a military horse came to report.

"Report! Tell the prime minister, report to the battle in Liaoxi! ”

Cao Cao's heart tightened, and the other civil and military forces also jumped suddenly, they came to report the battle so soon, and everyone present was nervous.

But don't be Yang Xi defeated, if Yang Xi is defeated, he will wave his army south to Zhuo County, which will be dangerous at that time.

Cao Cao got the battle report and hurriedly opened it.

"Chenheguo lives up to expectations, lives up to expectations."

Cao Cao was so happy that he forgot to say the content of the battle report, and when he looked up and saw everyone looking at him, he said: "Two days ago, Chenhe had already defeated the general of Biandun and beheaded tens of thousands, and led 3,000 remnants of the army to defeat and flee north, Liaoxi!" Flat! ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether they could beat the plug or not, and subdue Xianbei, at least Youzhou was pacified, which was already a sure thing.

At this time, Guo Jia hurriedly stood up and said: "Lord, I am defeated and fled, and I am in a hurry for eight hundred miles, it is only two days, and the time is still in time, and I guess I have just known." In order to be in the situation at this time, the city will be caught in the urn, it will definitely flee north, please divide the troops in the North Mountain ambush, when the Badun retreats, the army will follow, the north and south will attack, and they will be able to win! ”

"He fled north, but he didn't know which way he would go, whether it would be to Yuyang or Shanggu?" Cao Cao didn't know which way to ambush.

"Yuyang is in the east, Shanggu is in the west, at this time the battle report has been out for two days, if Yang Xi waives his troops to the west, at this time it should be to Yuyang, and he will not choose this way, please ambush the lord to the upper valley halfway."

"The words of filial piety are exactly what I want, and it is forbidden! Zhang He! Order the two of you to lead 15,000 horses and infantry troops to the north, and ambush them in the north, and our army will immediately rearm and feign a general attack. ”

"The last general commands!"

However, he said that when he received the battle report, he was also in a hurry, and there were already generals on the left and right, persuading him to withdraw quickly. He said: "Cao Cao is strategizing, there are many talents in the account, and it is expected that our army is eager to retreat, and ordered 10,000 cavalry, horsetail tied to grass, galloping back and forth, pretending to fight, and I will lead the army and slowly retreat north." ”

After retreating northward, Cao Cao led the army out, and saw the cavalry galloping across the plain, waiting for the fighters. However, there was a flying ball to send back the news, saying that the army was retreating, this was a suspicious plan, Cao Cao was shocked and ordered the whole army to attack.

After retreating less than twenty miles, he heard that the other army was following and chasing, and the 10,000 suspicious soldiers behind him only fled back to six or seven thousand, so he ordered the whole army to hurry.

Cao Cao's infantry naturally couldn't catch up, but when he walked to the mountain road, tens of thousands of ambushes on both sides attacked, and he knew that he was in the plan. But at this time, there were more than 40,000 cavalry in Badun, and Yu Ban and Zhang He couldn't say that they would be killed.

Fearing that Cao Cao's infantry army would catch up, he only killed for a while, and then led the army to continue to flee north, and when he reached the upper valley, there were still 35,000 men and horses, and the loss was not too great after all.

Cao's army joined forces and continued to follow, fleeing to the north of the Great Wall, and then continuing north until it entered the territory of Xianbei.

But it is said that Xianbei at this time is extremely powerful.

Monan is divided into three groups from the east of Yunzhong.

The first is the Budugen group in the west, with tens of thousands, according to the Yunzhong and Yanmen areas, Lu Bu's martial arts are practiced in the confrontation with the Hu people such as Budugen Xianbei.

The second is the Kebineng Group, which is distributed in Daijun, Shanggu and other places.

Third, there are a number of small groups, scattered outside Liaoxi, Youbeiping and Yuyang.

Among them, the Kebineng Group is the most powerful, with a population of almost more than 400,000.

The population of Xianbei is not as good as that of the Han Dynasty, the population of the Han Dynasty is one million, and it can raise 100,000 troops to the sky, and the population of Xianbei is 400,000, and all men are warriors.

There are 400,000 mouths, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers.

At this time, Cao Cao, if he did not have Yang Xi's assistance, he would not dare to think about it, at least two or three years later. But Yang Xi threatened to win Xianbei with him, and Cao Cao dared to try it.

Since Yang Xi threatened to attack Xianbei in the north, he naturally did a lot of homework, and the situation of the three Xianbei groups is the same as fire and water, among which Kebi can be in the middle, and wants to unify the two groups in the east and west, but the power of the two groups in the east and west is not small.

However, it is said that the eastern Xianbei of Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Yuyang Saiwai, several larger tribes, Suli, Mijia, and Que Ji are the largest tribes with adults, and the tribes are distributed in Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Yuyang Saiwai in Youzhou.

To the north of Liaoshui, there are two rivers in the east and west merging, and the one in the west is called the West Liao River. On the side of the Xiliao River, there is a tribe with a population of more than 20,000 people, and the leader of the tribe is Suli, called Suli.

As early as a few years ago, Dong Maru had already established a relationship with Su Li and had a fixed business relationship. Through his business dealings with the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, Su Li almost monopolized the goods of salt, iron, clothing, matches and other goods of more than ten nearby tribes.

This Suli, to put it bluntly, is the agent arranged by Dong Pill here.

However, Suli is just an agent, not an exclusive, and there are many Xianbei people, under the development of the Liaoshui development team of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce sent by Dong Maru, they participated in the training and really joined the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce.

On the contrary, Suli's tribe did not join the Chamber of Commerce, and it was impossible for Suli to join the Chamber of Commerce, because it was impossible for him to completely accept the terms of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, but the Xianbei people who fought alone were easy to accept.

The main task of Yang Xi's Northern Expedition this time is to defeat the powerful Xianbei tribe, so that the Xianbei people who join the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce have the soil and space to grow, and clear the powerful obstacles for them.
