When Qiu Liju died, he passed the throne of Wuhuan King to Badun.

This was indeed a relatively big blow to Lou Ban, at that time, he was still very young and did not understand Qiu Liju's hard work. Later, he gradually understood why Qiu Liju wanted to pass on the position of King Wuhuan to Bundun.

People are selfish, how can Qiu Liju be an exception? As the king of Wuhuan, he naturally hopes that his parent-child Lou Ban can succeed him to the throne. But unfortunately, at that time, Lou Ban was young and could not serve the public at all. Moreover, at that time, Bunton had already made a name for himself and was ambitious, and he had won over many important ministers around Qiu Liju, and many leaders of the Wuhuan tribe, who privately expressed their submission to Bunton. In that case, if Qiu Liju still insisted on passing the throne to Lou Ban instead of Bang Dun. Then, the Wuhuan tribe will definitely fall into civil strife immediately.

Of course, the Wuhuan tribe has never been so united as it seems, and the Wuhuan tribes often fight with each other. If that's all there is to it, Qiu Liju doesn't care too much. However, if the throne is passed to the parent-child Lou Ban, it will be civil strife and division in his own clan. Moreover, the general trend of Badun has been achieved, if Qiu Liju does not follow the trend, if he has to pass the throne to Lou Ban, then as soon as he dies, Lou Ban will definitely be destroyed by Badun, which is equivalent to harming his son.

Therefore, when Qiu Liju knew that his life was short, he made a lot of arrangements for the building class. On the one hand, he handed over to the generals and leaders of his own tribe and told them to save Lou Ban's life. Qiu Liju clearly pointed out that in order to avoid internal division within the Wuhuan tribe, let the general leader of his tribe. Obey the command of Bandun and honor Bandun as king. His only request was to hope for his sake. Keep the building class. Second, Qiu Liju secretly ordered his henchmen and generals to send his pro-army to hide a large amount of money and grain from the Wuhuan tribe, and secretly told his henchmen that they would tell Louban about the hiding place of this batch of money and grain when the prestige of the Louban could be about the same as that of the Lou Ban. That is mainly because Qiu Liju is afraid that Lou Ban is young and vigorous, once he knows that Qiu Liju has left so much money and food for him, he will immediately raise troops and fight for a long time. When the strength is not good. He argued with Badun, it was definitely a dead end.

In this way, it wasn't until not long ago that Qiu Liju's henchmen told Lou Ban what Qiu Liju had done for Lou Ban and what he had prepared for Lou Ban.

As he grew up, Lou Ban was already able to take charge on his own, and after he was established as the king of Wuhuan in Bang Dun, he took his military horses with his headquarters. to the northwest to develop on the steppe. The western and eastern regions of Liaoning were ceded to Badun.

Back then, Tianzhen was originally a power territory belonging to the Wuhuan tribe, so it can be said that Tianzhen was in a certain period. It is relatively an important town on the border between the Wuhuan tribe and the Xiongnu tribe and the Han people. And for so many years, no matter how they fought each other, they always belonged to the Wuhuan tribe. For the Wuhuan tribe. Tianzhen has a very important political and economic position, but Tianzhen was lost in the hands of Badun. Lou Ban thought that one day he must take Tianzhen back. As long as Tianzhen is recaptured, then his prestige among the Wuhuan tribe. It will definitely improve greatly.

Over the years, under his painstaking development, many Wuhuan tribes have submitted to him, which has greatly increased his strength.

This time, Lou Ban felt that it was a good opportunity for him. After learning that his father Qiu Liju secretly left him so much money and food, he resolutely refused Badun's call and did not lead the army to join Bunton. Instead, he secretly harassed the Wuhuan people and gathered the Wuhuan army in the mountains, which was much more hidden than Badun.

Because Lou Ban has been active in the vicinity of Tianzhen over the years, he has always paid close attention to the movements of the New Han Dynasty. If it weren't for the fact that he was worried that he would be left alone, and he didn't want to find a gang with Bunton, he would have already raised troops and invaded the state while the New Han Dynasty was unprepared. In fact, there are many opportunities. After all, since the New Han Dynasty went on an expedition to the desert and assigned the desert to the territory of the Han Dynasty, the New Han army did not garrison too many military horses on the Great Wall as before. If Lou Ban wants to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the New Han Dynasty, it is indeed possible that they will break through the defense line of the Great Wall of the New Han Dynasty and be plundered by them when they enter the Great Wall.

Of course, simple plunder, if Lou Ban really dared to make a move and angered the New Han Dynasty, if he wanted to send troops to destroy him, he would probably be difficult to resist. The lesson of the destruction of the Huns was not so long ago. Even if Lou Ban had no brains, he didn't dare to take the tiger's whiskers lightly.

It can be said that over the years, Lou Ban has really been immersed in development, and he will never dare to cause trouble lightly. He lurked quietly, waiting for a good moment to soar into the sky.

This time, he decided it was time. Liu Bei also found him when he lobbied the grassland peoples and jointly raised troops to attack the New Han Dynasty. Let Lou Ban also know that if Yizhou, Hanzhong, Xiliang, and their Wuhuan people raise troops to attack the New Han Dynasty together, in terms of strength, it is indeed far beyond the strength of the New Han Dynasty. In particular, the forces of the New Han Dynasty are not all concentrated together, but divided into several battlefields. If they can raise troops together to attack the New Han Dynasty, it is really possible to destroy the New Han Dynasty.

And the reason why Lou Ban wanted activities to develop near Tianzhen was that he saw that if he captured Tianzhen in this place of Tianzhen, he could use Tianzhen as a base and have a real city. Then, from Tianzhen to Bingzhou, forcibly seize the Yamen Pass, as long as the Yamen Pass is captured, then his cavalry army can go straight to Luoyang. In this way, he will definitely enter Luoyang faster than Yizhou, Hanzhong, Xiliang and Liaoxi outside Youzhou Pass. In this way, the New Han Dynasty will be destroyed by his Lou class, and at that time, the prestige of his Lou class will definitely be famous all at once, and the limelight will definitely overshadow the land.

After seizing the capital of the New Han Dynasty, you can also call on the old Xiongnu tribes that were destroyed by the New Han Dynasty to subdue the desert tribes on the desert governed by the New Han Dynasty, strengthen your own strength, and bring the entire northwest desert under your own rule, so that your Wuhuan tribe can return to the desert. In this case, how can Badun be compared with him? When the time comes, you can also directly force Don to give up the Wuhuan King to himself to correct his reputation.

Lou Ban saw that this was a good time he had been waiting for for years. So, he was ready early. I'm going to show my might in a fight.

His spies learned that the New Han Army's first army had sent troops from Daijun. Do it to their Wuhuan tribe. He immediately devised a plan to ambush this new Han army.

For Gao Shun, the commander of the New Han Army, Lou Ban is no stranger. After all, in recent years, Gao Shun has always been guarding Changcheng such as Yamen Pass, and among the aliens inside and outside the pass, Gao Shun's reputation is quite large. Lou Ban knew that most of Gao Shun's military horses were infantry, and there were not many cavalry. So. He thought that he would use the advantage of his cavalry to destroy Gao Shun, a new Han army, in one fell swoop. As long as Gao Shun is destroyed, then the New Han Army, which is guarding the Great Wall in the northwest, will not have too many troops. This also brought him a lot of convenience to break through the Great Wall.

Lou Ban led the army, and on a mountain plain in the mountains, launched a surprise attack on Gao Shun's military horses.

He thought that with the impact of his cavalry. As long as one charge, you can defeat the marching team of the New Han Army, you can beat the New Han Army, and you can destroy Gao Shun in one fell swoop. It's a pity. He underestimated the combat effectiveness of the New Han Army. He didn't really understand the combat methods and combat power of Gao Shun's military horses.

You must know that Gao Shun specially trained tens of thousands of trapping soldiers for the New Han Dynasty, but later. He led the army to defend the Great Wall, and no longer trained the officers and soldiers of the trapping camp specifically for the New Han Dynasty. But. The soldiers of the New Han Army under his command, even if they are no longer trained according to the soldiers who originally trained the camp. But Gao Shun still has extremely high requirements for his subordinates. Especially for the requirements of pikemen, more specialized. Because Gao Shun knew that he was guarding the Great Wall, and what he had to face was basically the alien cavalry outside the fortress. And pikemen happen to be an important type of troops that can restrain cavalry well.

In this way, when the cavalry of Louban was suddenly attacked, the military horses led by Gao Shun quickly set up a battle formation, and they stubbornly resisted the attack of the cavalry of Louban, and did not let the cavalry of Louban disrupt the formation of the New Han Army at all.

However, there were too many cavalry troops in Louban, and under the long-term battle of the New Han Army under Gao Shun's headquarters, the casualties were a bit large, so they retreated while fighting, broke through and retreated to the mountain. In this way, the cavalry of Louban lost its effect, and it was impossible to directly rush up the mountain. When Lou Ban planned to trap Gao Shun's Xinhan army in the mountains, Gao Shun made a quick decision, and broke through unexpectedly while Lou Ban's military horses had not had time to surround him, and the retreat route was also unexpected by Lou Ban. The New Han army did not retreat to the Great Wall Pass, but to the grasslands outside the mountains. This once let the cavalry of Louban chase in the wrong direction, and by the time they found out that they had been fooled, and then waved their troops to chase and kill Gao Shun's military horses, Gao Shun had already led the New Han army to Tianzhen on the grassland.

Tianzhen, in Lou Ban's mind, is a city that he wants to get, and seeing that Gao Shun actually led tens of thousands of Xinhan troops to enter Tianzhen, this made him angry and made him feel a big mistake. If he had known that Gao Shun's New Han Army would still be able to break through and escape under the attack of his cavalry, or flee to Tianzhen, he would definitely attack Tianzhen first and capture Tianzhen first. Now, Gao Shun's new Han army has not been destroyed by him, and Tianzhen has not been able to capture, and now, under the situation that Gao Shun led the army to enter Tianzhen, his plan to seize Tianzhen has caused great difficulties and increased difficulty.

However, now that the war has begun, Lou Ban is unwilling to give up his plan. Because, he has received the news that Badun plans to march to Liaodong, as long as Badun's army moves, it will be able to attract the attention of the New Han Dynasty, and it will be able to contain the main force of the New Han Army. At that time, he will be able to kill all the way to Luoyang without hindrance. Moreover, if his military horses are besieging Tianzhen, the New Han army will not pay too much attention to it, because even if he captures Tianzhen outside the Great Wall, it seems that there will be no threat to the New Han Dynasty, and the New Han Dynasty may not take it to heart. As long as the New Han Dynasty neglected its own existence, then he was sure of success.

In this way, Lou Ban decided to concentrate his forces first, trap Tianzhen, and keep launching a fierce attack on Tianzhen, hoping to capture Tianzhen as much as possible.

Lewi remembered a few things about the history of Lou Ban. It's just that I didn't expect that Lou Ban would actually run to Tianzhen, not in western and eastern Liaodong as in history.

However, history has been changed beyond recognition by the butterfly wings of Liu Yi, and it is no longer possible to talk about history.

"My lord. Louban now has about 300,000 cavalry. Among them, there were about 100,000 cavalry. It was given to him by Qiu Li when he stayed, and he was quite elite. If Lou Ban really captures Tianzhen, and under the situation that Badun's current strength is greatly damaged, if he takes Tianzhen and ascends to the heights, he may get more support from the Wuhuan tribe, which will greatly increase his strength. Also, in Tianzhen, it can directly threaten the Northwest Desert. If Lou Ban is allowed to send military horses into the desert, then it is very likely that it will have an impact on the new order that we have established in the desert over the years, causing great damage, and even, it is very likely, there will be some alien races in the desert, and since then they have betrayed our Han and turned to the Wuhuan people. Xun Yu said to Liu Yi.

"Well, has Brother Gao Shun asked us for help?" Lewy nodded. Indicates that he knows the importance of Tianzhen to the New Han Dynasty.

"General Gao Shun should be more confident. He is also more aware of the current situation of our new Han Dynasty. After all, he came out of Youzhou Daijun, and he must have taken into account the war problems of our New Han Dynasty in Xiliang and Liaodong. He didn't ask us to send reinforcements, but he did. It's no problem to stick to Tianzhen for a month or two. Xun Yu handed the letter sent back by Gao Shun to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi looked at it and muttered, "Brother Gao Shun probably doesn't know that Zilong and Ziyi attacked the Wuhuan camp. Right now. With such a big loss all of a sudden, he estimated that he was busy cleaning up the mess. For a moment, he may not attack Liaodong or our Youzhou Pass. So. At least our Youzhou is safe for the time being. Don't be in too much of a hurry to send troops to Youzhou. ”

"Yes, Xun also wanted to talk to the lord. Although General Gao Shun was confident that he would hold Tianzhen for a month or two. However, if we don't send troops to solve the crisis in Tianzhen, and really let General Gao Shun defend the city in Tianzhen for a month or two, then Tianzhen will be crippled. No, it won't take two months, and if you look for it for a month, it will make Tianzhen lose a lot. Xun Yu analyzed: "It is very likely that General Gao Shun is also a little supportive, or he doesn't know much about the situation in Tianzhen all of a sudden. ”

"Huh? How is it? Leo Yi frowned.

"The lord once went to Tianzhen, and he also fought against Badun in Tianzhen, and captured Tianzhen. Therefore, I believe that the lord is also relatively clear about the situation in Tianzhen. Tianzhen is a city on the grassland, and now we have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a new city, which is several feet high. It can be said that it is indeed not too easy for Louban to attack and open a town, but Tianzhen is on the plain, and there is a lack of earth, rocks and trees around. In Tianzhen, it is estimated that there are not many rolling stones and trees left to defend the city. Lacking materials to defend the city, Gao Shun is afraid that it will be a little difficult to defend the city. In order to guard against the spread of our New Han Army's iron training craft, we don't have the ability to control our New Han Army's standard arrows in Tianzhen. If the Gao Shun army ran out of the spare garrison materials in Tianzhen, as well as the bows and arrows they carried, they would have to fight with the Wuhuan army besieging the city. ”

"Don't you say that I really forgot, when I built Tianzhen, it was a bit difficult to use stones at that time, and it seems that I had to move it to Tianzhen from somewhere else, right?" Liu Yi remembered that the city where Tianzhen was located was indeed short of stones around. Even the big trees that could be used had to be cut down in some barren mountains dozens of miles away from Tianzhen.

"Moreover, there may be a shortage of water in Tianzhen City." Xun Yu said again.

"Lack of water? This is not too much of a problem, because in the desert grassland, it should already be snowing, and if there is snow, there will be water. Liu Yi shook his head and said.

"Lord, I built yì, this time to go out to fight against the Wuhuan people, it is better to send troops from the Yamen Pass in Bingzhou, first destroy the Wuhuan army and horses of Louban, relieve the trap of Tianzhen, and then, bypass the prairie and attack the Wuhuan camp from the north." Xun Yujian said: "In this way, first, we can avoid the Wuhuan cavalry from flowing into the northwest desert, and we can bypass it from the grassland, and beware of the Wuhuan tribe in the Tun area from fleeing to the north." You must know that the large forest in the north, the mountains are high and dense, and in such a cold winter, when the heavy snow covers the mountains, it will also bring many difficulties to the pursuit of our army. It is said that the Xianbei people live in those big forests, and there are also shadows of the Xianbei people among the Wuhuan army that is preparing to attack our new Han Dynasty this time. ”

"Xianbei?" Liu Yi sighed, and then said to Xun Yu with a cautious expression: "Actually, the Xianbei tribe may be more dangerous to our Han than the Wuhuan clan. However, for the time being, its tribe is not much of a threat to our Han, and once its tribe moves south from the Great Forest, it will be a scourge to our Han sooner or later. Therefore, this time the northern expedition to Wuhuan will also destroy the Xianbei tribe by the way. ”

Xianbei, Murong Xianbei. For this nation, Liu Yi can't say that he hates it too much, but he really gives the Han a considerable amount of danger. What annoyed Liu Yi the most was that during the Wuhu Rebellion, it was Xianbei who suddenly sent troops to besiege and kill Ran Min, the king of martial mourning. If it weren't for Xianbei's sudden dispatch of troops to kill the national heroes of the Han people, it is estimated that the period of Wuhu Chaos would not have lasted so long, and there would not have been a thing where the Han people were almost exterminated by the Capricorn clan. At that time, it was the Xianbei tribe that took in the Capricorn tribe who was hunted down by the Wumourning Heavenly King, and as a result, the Capricorn tribe quickly recovered its vitality under the protection of the Xianbei tribe, and then took a bite back and destroyed Xianbei.
