Chapter 682: Arrogant Huns
Thorn Wuxian said in a rough voice: "This is not simple, not long after Cao Cao's soldiers and horses left Jinyang, General Zhang just sent cavalry to chase him all the way, and Guan Bao killed him!" ”
Zhang Ren smiled faintly and said: "Xiahou is by no means a mediocre talent, he is well versed in the way of using soldiers, how can he be unprepared when the army retreats?" Going to pursue at this time, didn't you fall for Xiahoudun's plan? ”
Thorn Wuxian said with a big grin: "You Han people fight in Luoli and gossip, and the Wei soldiers give up the fortified city, that is to kill themselves, and my Hun cavalry has been crushed all the way, I don't believe that he has any conspiracy and tricks." If General Zhang doesn't have the courage to chase, I am willing to lead my headquarters to pursue, but General Zhang can't share the credit. ”
When Wei Yan, Huang Quan, Li Yan, and Wu Yi were all in the hall, seeing that Assassin Wuxian was so rampant and arrogant, they couldn't help but be furious, and they were about to reprimand, but Zhang Ren waved his hand, signaling that they didn't need to pay attention, and said quietly: "Since this is the case, then I wish the assassin general success." ”
Thorn Wu first swept the generals in the hall contemptuously, snorted coldly, raised his head, and walked out.
Wei Yan was furious, drew his sword and said: "This Hun barbarian is too blind, so I have to teach him a lesson today." ”
Zhang Ren smiled indifferently and said: "Wen Chang is angry, and he has the right to go crazy for a day, but I am afraid that tomorrow there will naturally be a time for him to cry." ”
"The Overseer means ......"
Zhang Ren smiled slightly: "What kind of person is Xiahoudun, who has followed Cao Cao's southern expedition to the north for more than ten years, with great achievements and great prestige, if our army is not in front of Xiahoudun in this battle of Xinkou, intercepting and killing Zhang Yan, if Xiahoudun really transfers the Yanbei Wei army back to Jinyang, it is not known who will kill the deer in Taiyuan County." Xiahoudun was able to decisively give up the important town of Jinyang, which is enough to prove that this person has extraordinary martial arts and is such a strategic general. How can a barbarian like Thorn Wuxian deal with it, since Thorn Wuxian wants to chase him, he might as well give him a little bitterness to taste, and let him know what it means to be high and thick. ”
Huang Quan said: "This time the assassination of Wu went before, and there is no doubt that he will be defeated, but now the Xiongnu can be regarded as helping us fight against the Wei army." Is it proper to sit idly by and watch their entire army annihilated? ”
Zhang Rendao: "Those who are not of my race will have different hearts, will the Huns be single and Liu Bao will really help us break Cao?" He just wants to use our power to re-enter the fertile Fenshui River, and it is unknown whether they have even greater ambitions. The lord mentioned in the letter that the Huns should be more guarded against and must not be negligent. The 10,000 people sent by Liu Bao are a disaster after all. This time, the assassin Wu first died by himself, why not be with him? First, it can weaken the power of the Huns, and second, it can also extinguish the arrogance of the assassin Wuxian. ”
On the same day, Zhang Ren agreed to Liu Bao's move to send troops, and while marching to Xihe, Zhang Ren also reported the situation to Liu Ze with a six-hundred-mile flying horse. Liu Ze quickly replied to him, agreeing with Zhang Ren's acceptance of Liu Bao's request, and put the overall situation first, as long as it was something that was conducive to the overall situation. Even if it is a certain price, it is not hesitant. However, Liu Ze mentioned in the letter that Zhang Ren should pay close attention to the movements of the Huns. It is necessary to strengthen the control of this Xiongnu cavalry that crossed eastward, and never allow their ambitions and conspiracy to succeed.
After crossing to the east, Zhang Ren did be more wary of the Huns, no matter in that battle, he did not use the Huns as a vanguard, at most he beat the side drum and beat the autumn wind or something. This also made the arrogant Thorn Wuxian openly express his dissatisfaction, and this time Thorn Wuxian forcibly came out, which was somewhat related to Zhang Ren's previous measures.
The reason why Zhang Ren pushed the boat down the river was because Zhang Ren knew that this time he led his troops to chase the Wei army. will inevitably suffer a lot, and if he can weaken the strength of the Huns with the hand of Xiahou Dun, Zhang Ren is naturally happy to sit back and enjoy the success.
However, Zhang Ren can't sit back and watch the whole army of the assassin Wuxian be wiped out, the current contradiction with the Wei army is still in the main position, and the contradiction with the Huns is in a secondary position, if the Huns are really killed, Liu Bao has to be mad, the dog is in a hurry to jump off the wall, Zhang Ren doesn't want to make the situation out of control.
Zhang Ren immediately ordered Ma Dai to lead his troops to follow the Assassin Wuxian, if the Assassin Wuxian was besieged by the Wei army, there was no need to rescue immediately, but the Huns must not be completely defeated, and then send troops to rescue at the appropriate time, at the same time, Zhang Ren sent Leng Bao and Deng Xian to lead the headquarters to respond to Ma Dai.
Ma Dai, Leng Bao, and Deng Xian received the order and went down to lead the army and horses to attack.

The Wei army retreated in the direction of Shangdang County, and after leaving Jinyang, it threw itself to the southeast, and the Hun cavalry led by the Assassin Wu first, and naturally pursued it in the southeast direction.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the world at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Southern Xiongnu continued to move south and occupied the Hedong region with abundant water and grass. However, with the strong rise of Cao Cao, the good days of the Huns seem to be coming to an end, after Cao Cao defeated Gao Gan, occupied the state, he did not take Yuan Shao's policy of treating the Huns to peace, but took tough measures against the Huns, house arrest Shan Yu Chuquan, and carried out a large-scale expulsion of the Huns who occupied Hedong.
Now that the assassin Wu has revisited his hometown, he naturally thinks about how to take revenge, and heard that Xiahou abandoned Jinyang and fled south to the party, and the assassin Wu first felt that his opportunity to take revenge had come, and immediately asked Zhang Ren to send troops to pursue. But Zhang Ren didn't seem to be interested in pursuing the Wei army, which made Thorn Wuxian very annoyed, so timid and courageous, and I don't know why Liu Ze, the king of Jing, would appoint this kind of rat as the commander of one side.
Since the Jing army did not dare to pursue, Thorn Wu was unwilling to give up such a great opportunity, in his opinion, Xiahou Tang suffered a defeat in Xinkou, lost his generals, and fled south this time, he must be in a hurry, if he does not chase at this time, when will he stay?
"Report! General Qiyu, the trail of the Wei army was found ahead. "Just after Yangyi, the sentinel came back to report that he had discovered the whereabouts of the Wei army.
Piercing Wu first couldn't help but be very proud, most of the Wei army was infantry, and the Huns were all cavalry, no matter how fast the two legs were, it couldn't catch up with four legs, not to mention that as soon as they came out of Jinyang, the Assassin Wu first ordered the Hun cavalry to speed up the journey, this trick really worked, and within two or three hundred miles, it had already caught up with the rear of the Wei army. Thorn Wu immediately ordered to enter the attack state and launched an attack on the rear team of the Wei army.
The Hun cavalry has never lined up any battle formations in battle, and the Hun cavalry swarmed up, with thousands of horses galloping, dust and smoke flying, and the momentum shook the sky.
Bitten by the Hun cavalry, it was a group of men and horses in the rear of the Wei army, the number was not too many, only about 3,000 people, as soon as the Hun cavalry rushed up like a flood of embankments, the Wei army immediately threw away its armor, turned around and fled, leaving countless grain, grass, baggage, ordnance and banners along the way.
The Huns have always been predatory, and they have never caught anything behind Zhang Ren's buttocks, and they have long complained, and this time they took the initiative to attack, seeing that the Wei army had discarded countless burdens along the way, the Hun cavalry was greedy, and they all jumped off their horses to coax the supplies.
Thorn Wu Xian was furious, these rabbit cubs are not angry at all, let them fight for a little property, it's too useless, and when Xiahou Dun is really eliminated, will there be less things seized? Thorn Wu first whipped down, and the Hun cavalry became much more honest, no longer coaxing things on the roadside, and concentrated on pursuing the Wei army.
The further you go, the higher the terrain becomes, and the road becomes much more bumpy, and if you are an experienced general, you will inevitably stop to check the terrain, because the mountains are high and dense, and it is the most suitable for the army to ambush.
But the head of the Xiongnu has long been hot, and he is blind to the potential danger ahead, in fact, it is no wonder that the Xiongnu only have spoken language, no writing, and the upper magnates of the Xiongnu are keen to learn the words of the Han people, but it does not mean that they can familiarize themselves with the Han people's articles and collections, and the essence of those art of war is unheard of. The Huns fought in no discipline, only with courage and courage to move forward, in the face of great temptation, the Huns will never stop their horses' hooves.
Walking on a path made of thick fallen leaves, the horses of the Hun cavalry rushed into a valley. (To be continued......)
