In 186 A.D., in the third year of Hanzhongping, at the end of October, Liu Tai got the news that he declared a comprehensive martial law in northern Xinjiang, prohibiting all grassland peoples and northern Xinjiang from trading with each other, because salt and iron are important strategic materials, Liu Tai ordered, that is, if there is a discovery of smuggling salt and iron abroad, the light one will serve ten years of hard labor, and the heavy one will be killed by the court.
In 186 A.D., in the third year of Hanzhongping, in November, the cavalry of the two legions of northern Xinjiang went out of Shanggu County, under the command of Zhao Yun, attacked the grassland people in the south of Danhan Mountain, and in half a month, the army returned triumphantly, capturing and killing 20,000 people of the Great Xiongnu tribe.
A.D. 186, Hanzhong Ping three years, mid-November, the cavalry of the two legions of the second road north Xinjiang went out of the pass in Daijun, the commander of the army was Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei has always pursued the policy of not leaving prisoners, this battle is still the case after getting Liu Tai's permission, after the pass, Zhang Fei killed the Huns in the south, killed and wounded as many as 30,000 Xiongnu people, the rouge queen urgently sent 60,000 Huns to protect the border in the south, Zhang Fei had no choice but to retreat to Daijun.
In 186 A.D., in the third year of Hanzhongping, in December, 60,000 iron cavalry led by Xu Chu went out of the pass from the right Beiping, and raided the Wuheng tribe that occupied the Xianbei garrison in the east.
In 186 AD, the third year of Hanzhongping, at the end of December, the situation became more and more tense, Liu Tai ordered the general Wen Chou to command 60,000 iron cavalry into Bingzhou, with Yanmen as the rear, attacking the western tribe groups of Danhan Mountain, because of the experience of the past, the rouge queen immediately mobilized soldiers and horses to resist, Wen Chou had no choice but to return to the pass after cleaning one or two small tribes.
In the same month, Liu Tai commanded nine legions, 270,000 cavalry stationed in Daijun, ordered 60,000 iron cavalry under the command of Wen Chou to help Huang Zhong resist the Qianghu invasion in Bingzhou, ordered Xu Chu, who retreated to Lu Longsai, and commanded 60,000 iron cavalry to be stationed in situ to prevent Wuheng from attacking the border in the south, and ordered Dian Wei, the governor of the northeast capital, to be ready to engage Goguryeo in the east at any time, and be sure to see Goguryeo disabled once, and at the same time Liu Tai ordered to send 100,000 foot soldiers belonging to Youzhou into Shanggu and obey Liu Tai's command.
A.D. 187, Han Zhongping four years, the beginning of January, the Huns gathered in the Han Mountain, 800,000 troops are ready to go, after the solemn oath, the rouge queen personally put on the battle, for the commander of the whole army, the Hun famous general Dugu Hong as the deputy marshal, with the army to go out with the Western Regions and the Huns hundreds of generals.
In 187 A.D., in the fourth year of Hanzhongping, in the middle of January, the leader of Wuheng Heng officially called the king, announced a military attack on the northern Xinjiang, personally took command, and led 100,000 Wuheng iron cavalry to the south, Hu Ren Ji Liang was the deputy marshal of the army, and 100,000 iron cavalry pointed directly at Lu Longsai.
In 187 A.D., in the fourth year of Hanzhongping, January 18, the second king of Goguryeo, Bogu, announced an attack on Xuansu County of the Han Dynasty in the domestic city, and the total mobilization was 100,000 foot soldiers, 50,000 iron cavalry, and the position of commander was held by Gao Yanyou.
In 187 A.D., in the fourth year of Hanzhongping, on January 25, 800,000 Xiongnu troops entered the cordon within 300 miles outside the Daijun Pass, and Liu Tai, who got the news, was very confident, and commanded 270,000 iron horsemen out of the pass to meet the battle, as if preparing to fight a hard battle with the Huns.
In 187 A.D., in the fourth year of Hanzhongping, on January 30, for some reason, Qianghu suddenly announced in the former Xianbei station in Hexi that the two sides would not help each other in this campaign, maintain a neutral attitude, and "deeply" hoped that the Han murderers could stop the war and draw the border line without offending each other. Of course, everyone understands that Qianghu is preparing to pick up cheap, and whoever wins the battle will not suffer losses and can get a lot of benefits.
After receiving the news that Qiang Hu had announced his neutrality, Liu Tai immediately ordered Wen Chou's 60,000 iron cavalry to be transferred to Daijun, which was not a small number, and could even sometimes determine the victory or defeat of a battle.
The most angry is the Rouge Queen, Qianghu's reversal made the Rouge Queen speak out angrily, and announced in public that after defeating the northern Xinjiang, sanctions will be imposed on Qianghu, so that Qianghu is ready to die.
Queen Rouge's foolish behavior, at most just makes people laugh, everyone knows, this victory or defeat is still unknown, and the chances of victory in the north are relatively large, although Liu Tai's soldiers and horses are only about 300,000, but it does not mean that they will be defeated by the Great Huns, but don't forget, the actual number of cavalry of the Great Huns is only 400,000, and the remaining 400,000 soldiers and horses are completely temporary formations of the Western Regions miscellaneous army.
If it was before, Queen Rouge would not be so stupid to raise troops to the south, after all, the central Xianbei has just been pacified, the Western Regions army is weak, it can be said that it is internal and external troubles, the main reason is because of the strength of the northern Xinjiang, since the Great Xiongnu entered the main Hanshan, the export of salt and iron to the outside of the northern Xinjiang has been controlled to a very small range, the Great Xiongnu is a nomadic people, and not by the sea, the salt and iron refining, it can be said that there is no technology at all, and the general mineral salt is simply unable to make ends meet, so in this situation, the only way, It was to raise troops to the south to make Liu Tai compromise.
The performance of the previous year was just a threat from the Queen of Rouge to the northern Xinjiang, hoping that Liu Tai could distinguish the situation and open up the supply of salt and iron, but unfortunately, Liu Tai ignored the intimidation of the Queen of Rouge at all, and even directly adopted the military surname of the Great Xiongnu, so that the outbreak of the war between the two races could not be avoided under multiple factors.
Can not fight, the Rouge Queen still does not want to fight, after all, the war together, whether it is won or lost, the blow to the Great Huns, is very terrifying, but there are Western Regions in front of the death squad, the Rouge Queen does not mind weakening the strength of the northern Xinjiang, if the strength of the Tianci Army is really too terrifying, if nothing can be done, the Rouge Queen can order the Xiongnu headquarters soldiers and horses to return to Danhan Mountain safely.
Queen Rouge's idea is very good, women play conspiracy, and sometimes they are very capable, but Queen Rouge has not considered the idea of the Western Regions, after all, the Western Regions are also people, are they willing to die for the Great Huns? If the time comes, on the battlefield, the Western Regions will fight a rake, and the cavalry troops of the Great Huns will also have to eat a pot of spicy food.
Of course, no matter how smart a woman is, it is impossible to really see through the overall situation, so Queen Rouge never thought that the Western Regions would have any disrespectful behavior, in the eyes of Queen Rouge, the Western Regions are just a bunch of garbage, what ability can they resist?
In 187 A.D., the fourth year of Hanzhongping, at the beginning of February, the Tianci army and the Xiongnu army set up camp in the Baishan area, the armies of both sides maintained a rare tacit understanding, the war was about to break out, this was an unprecedented scale of cavalry war, and it was also a wrestling between the two sides who was stronger in the future.
The heaven-sent army, the big tent of the Chinese army.
"My lord, the grain and grass of all departments have been transferred to the front line of Daijun, and our army has no worries about grain and grass." Xi Zhicai held a triangular fan in his hand, walked into Liu Tai's royal tent with a smile, and took a fan in the big spring, thinking that Xi Zhicai was very scratchy in Liu Tai's eyes.
"Well, that's good, is there any news from the military camp on the other side, has the main general of the Western Regions been contacted?" Liu Tai glanced at Xi Zhicai's triangular fan with awkward eyes, shook his head helplessly, and asked out loud.
Everyone has their own hobbies, for example, isn't Zhuge Liang, who is known as the first wise man of the Three Kingdoms, holding a feather fan all year round? This Liu Tai can't manage it, and there is no need to care about it, after all, Liu Tai is not a housekeeper
"I can't get in touch, in order to prevent rebellion in the Western Regions, Queen Rouge sent troops to surround the Western Regions, and no one was allowed to interact with the generals of the Western Regions, in order to prevent our army's fine work from penetrating into the upper echelons." Xi Zhicai smiled and said solemnly, in fact, contacting the generals of the Western Regions, Xi Zhicai did not grasp it at all, and the Queen of Rouge is not a fool, millions of slaves in the Western Regions have been accepted by the Northern Regions, will the Northern Frontier still be given the opportunity to contact the Western Regions?
"Hey" Liu Tai's eyes showed a deep look of disappointment, shook his head and sighed, and said: "If you can plot against the Western Regions, then this battle will be much easier, well, Zhicai, what do you say will be the result of this battle, will both sides lose, or will one side win?" ”
"The possibility of losing both sides is relatively large, if the lord is desperate to have a decisive battle with the Huns, then the probability of our army winning is as high as seventy percent." Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Tai, and said without the slightest expression, Xi Zhicai believed that Liu Tai would never choose a decisive battle, and no one knew better than Xi Zhicai that Liu Tai had invested in these hundreds of thousands of cavalry.
"Both are defeated, it should be the Western Regions and my northern Xinjiang wounded, he can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, if the 400,000 Western Regions don't want to die with us, the losses of our army are absolutely terrifying." Liu Tai shook his head with a smile, although the Rouge Queen's methods are clever, anyone with a discerning eye can see the Rouge Queen's arrangement, not to mention the Northern Xinjiang, which is full of talents?
"It's impossible to avoid losses, after all, this big war is about who can control the initiative on both sides in the next few years." Guo Jia sat on top of Liu Tai, and after listening to the conversation between Xi Zhicai and Liu Tai, he said to Liu Tai with both hands.
At the beginning of this battle, Liu Tai did not plan to fight to the death with the Great Huns, after all, the time has not yet come, this point, in Liu Tai's view, the Queen of Rouge is also very clear that the main reason for the Huns to launch this war is salt and iron, and the secondary reason is Liu Tai's strength in the grassland, and the northern Xinjiang is just a passive defense, more than a year of cultivation, can not make the northern Xinjiang completely recover, and now it is just barely able to fight.
"If the Great Huns want to control the initiative, there is no possibility of surname, after all, my northern Xinjiang is not the Luoyang court that the Hu people play with, and if you want to be powerful in my northern Xinjiang, it will be a few hundred years." The tone was very big, and naturally only Liu Tai could say this, only Liu Tai smiled lightly, glanced at Dongfang Jue opposite Guo Jia, and then said out loud.
During this period of time, Dongfang Jue has been concentrating on studying the various advantages of the grassland peoples and northern Xinjiang, hoping to find the idea of completely pacifying the major tribes of the grassland and incorporating the vast grassland under his rule, but unfortunately, this is a problem that cannot be solved for hundreds of years, and it is impossible for Dongfang Jue to think of it alone.
