The wilderness, which stretched for dozens of miles, was full of bloodstains, and the corpses of soldiers could be seen everywhere.

There were also soldiers who were wounded but not dead, but could not move, lying on the grass, groaning in despair.

It was a road stained red with blood, paved with the corpses of soldiers.

After Duan Xuan forcibly moved the camp to the edge of a ditch, he only lasted for five days, and then had to lead the army to withdraw to Chencang, because the army was about to run out of food, and if it was consumed, he could only wait for death.

What's even worse is that there has been a phenomenon of soldiers fleeing in the army.

In the face of the endless attacks of Luo Zheng's cavalry, the soldiers' patience had reached the limit.

Duan Xuan had no choice but to forcibly pull out the camp and retreat in the direction of Chen Cang.

However, in less than thirty miles, Duan Xuan paid an unimaginable price.

As long as the army moved, Luo Zheng's cavalry would pounce on them like vicious wolves, dripping the blood of Duan Xuan's army. When Duan Xuan was in formation, ready to fight to the death, Luo Zheng's cavalry would immediately lead away.

Duan Xuan was about to collapse, and those ordinary soldiers were even more unbearable, if it weren't for Duan Xuan's order to kill a group of fleeing soldiers, it is estimated that there would have been few people in the barracks for a long time, and An Neng would have waited until now.

By the time they fled to the west gate of Chencang, there were only more than 5,000 people left in the 15,000-strong army.

In less than thirty miles, Duan Xuan paid nearly 10,000 casualties.

There is really no way to do this, Duan Xuan decisively divided five thousand soldiers and horses to fight to the death. Otherwise, it is a question of whether or not you can escape to Chencang along the way. Still, the price is too high.

An army of 30,000 when he left Chang'an. But only more than 5,000 remnants of the defeated army returned to Chencang.

Duan Xuan drew his sword and killed himself, and he really didn't know how to face Dong Zhuo's rebuke and anger.

Chencang West Gate. The shouts of killing and screams were deafening.

The black cavalry pounced again, surrounded Duan Xuan's five thousand remnants of the army, and fought fiercely, Chen Cang's defenders just wanted to welcome Duan Xuan into the city, seeing this scene, where did they dare to open the city gate.

When tens of thousands of cavalry were about to launch a final charge, Jia Xu suddenly urged his horse to come to the front of the formation.

"General, Yungo is in a hurry!"

Jia Xu's face was solemn and he said quickly.

"Yungo urgently?"

Luo Zheng's eyes suddenly froze. He said in a deep voice: "Speak!" ”

Jia Xu said: "Xun Yu Changshi to 800 miles to report in an urgency, ten days ago the prince Tu led an army of 20,000 out of Xiu Tu Ze, Kou plundered all parts of Wuwei, General Wu Xi carelessly underestimated the enemy, led the army to attack, but was broken by the king of Tu, taking advantage of the situation to seize Guzang. ”

"What?"

Luo Zheng's color changed, and he said sharply: "Gu Zang is lost? ”

Jia Xu nodded solemnly.

"Wu Xi Pifu!"

Luo Zhengqi's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Previously, Han Sui sneaked up on Lingju. This guy will gather to drink, if it weren't for Gao Shun to repel Han Sui's army, this guy would have lost Lingju. The general remembers the veteran generals in his army and does not blame him. He was given a heavy responsibility again, sitting in the land of Wuwei County, and he didn't want to lose Guzang. If you don't kill this horseman, how can you vent the hatred in the heart of the general. ”

Jia Xu sighed: "General." General Wu Xi has died in battle. ”

Luo Zhengqi's face turned pale, and he said categorically after a while: "Order." Withdraw now! ”

"Order!"

A herald had already answered the order loudly and urged the horses to go.

In the desolate sound of the horn, the more than 10,000 cavalry who were about to charge immediately retreated like sweat.

"What's going on?"

Duan Xuan wiped the blood on his face, a little surprised.

"General, Luo Zheng's army has retreated!"

A general hurriedly shouted: "Please send the general into the city quickly." ”

Duan Xuan came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said: "Yes, quickly order Chen Cangshou to open the gate city and welcome the army into the city." ”

Soon, the suspension bridge of the west gate of Chencang was lowered, and the city gate was opened.

Duan Jun led the remnants of less than 5,000 defeated generals to rush in like a lost dog, until he stepped on the solid city gate tower, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and raised his eyes to look at the Luo Zheng cavalry who were all over the mountains.

"What's going on, why did Luo Zheng's army suddenly retreat?"

Some generals were full of doubts, and they really couldn't understand how Luo Zheng could withdraw his troops at this time.

Duan Xuan also couldn't figure it out, it stands to reason that his more than 4,000 remnants of the army were on the verge of collapse, and Luo Zheng only needed one charge to completely break himself, and suddenly withdrawing at this time was really difficult to understand.

But at this moment, the big stone in everyone's hearts has fallen to the ground.

No matter why Luo Zheng suddenly withdrew, it was a good thing for Duan Xuan and the others.

At least more than 4,000 soldiers and horses were saved, and they finally withdrew into Chencang City, and everyone did not become prisoners of Luo Zheng. Although he lost all his grain and baggage, as long as he survived, he still had a chance.

Half an hour later, Luo Zheng led the army to set up camp, escorted the prisoners, and traveled straight to Longxian County.

It wasn't until they entered the Tiger Leaping Gorge that they slowed down their march slightly.

In the front of the army, Luo Zheng asked, "Wenhe, where is the army of the king of Tu today?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "After Tu Ge Wang Hong Tu attacked Wuwei, he did not take the opportunity to attack Jincheng, but plundered everywhere. However, the Tu Gehu people have long had the heart to restore the Tu Wangting, and this time they attacked Gu Zang, I am afraid that they will not retreat lightly. ”

Luo Zheng nodded, it has not been a day or two since the nomadic Tu Gehu people in Xiu Tu Ze wanted to restore the Hu Tu Wang Court, but the Huns had long been afraid of the Han Dynasty, and even if they had this ambition, they didn't have the courage.

Even if the national strength of the Han Dynasty has been declining in recent years, it is just a matter of plundering the counties of Wuwei.

However, now that Dong Zhuo has usurped the Han Dynasty and established himself, and King Tu has broken through Guzang, it is difficult to say.

Originally, the weakness of the Han court has been naked under the noses of the world, and now Dong Zhuo is self-reliant, the Han family is dead, and it can no longer deter the nomads in the north, and there are signs of instability on the borders everywhere.

The king of Tu sent troops this time, and there may not be no temptation.

Moreover, he captured Guzang again. If you want these Huns to retreat, it will definitely not be so easy.

Former Han Dynasty. King Hutu was a Xiongnu royal family and lived on the right wing of the Xiongnu. The territory is Xiu Tu Ze in the north of Wuwei, and there is a Xiu Tu Wang City, which was conquered by the former Han famous general Huo Quai, and restructured Xiu Tu County, which is thirty miles north of Wuwei.

After King Hutu descended to the Han Dynasty, he was killed by the evil king, but the tribe has been living in Hutu Ze, and although there were several rebellions, the Han court moved to the nomadic tribes such as Qiang and Di in Hutu Ze. The tribes gradually merged, and they were also known as Tugehu.

But the dominant ones are still the Huns, and most of the nobles are the descendants of King Hutu.

Tu Gehu Lilai had the ambition of restoring the Tu Wang's court, but he had to rely on it when the Han Dynasty was strong, and since the prosperity of Guangwu Zhongxing, the Han Dynasty's national strength was declining, and Tu Gehu no longer obeyed the orders of the Han court, and often sent troops to loot the counties of Wuwei, constantly testing and challenging the bottom line of the Han court. It can be said that it is becoming more and more arrogant, and his ambition is gradually inflated.

After discovering that the Han court had gradually decayed and was unable to send troops to suppress it, it intensified.

Luo Zheng went to Liangzhou. There has always been a plan to wipe out the surrounding alien races and completely stabilize the rear, but he has been busy with the war and has not been able to send troops to rest Tu Ze. Unexpectedly, when the army was completed, it was attacked by Tu Gehu in the rear.

"These damned Huns!"

Luo Zheng's eyes burst out with Sen Han's murderous intent. Gnashing his teeth, he said: "General Ben didn't go to clean them up, Hong Tu ate the bear's heart and leopard gall." Dare to provoke General Ben. If you don't raze Hugh Tuze to the ground this time, how can you give up! ”

Jia Xu thought so: "These aliens are some immature wolf cubs, when the Han Dynasty was strong in the past, these aliens were all obedient like dogs, and when the national strength of the Han Dynasty weakened, these immature dogs would bite their owners back." In order to completely pacify the troubles in the frontier and let the people of the Han Dynasty work safely and happily, the only way is to let these wolf cubs completely extinct and never give them the soil to live on, only in this way can the border troubles be completely eliminated. ”

Luo Zheng nodded again and again and said: "What Wen He said is extremely true, the so-called non-mine race, his heart will be different. Even if these alien races temporarily submit to the Han Dynasty, they are only forced by the form, and what flows in their bones is not the blood of our Han nation after all, in fact, they always remember the glory of their ancestors, and they will rebel at the first opportunity. The only way is to implement a genocidal strategy and completely merge the 10,000-mile desert into the territory of our Han Dynasty, so that the border troubles of the nomads can be completely solved once and for all. ”

Jia Xu said: "The situation in Wuwei has changed, and it should have stabilized the rear first, but now Longxian County can be lowered, and it would be a pity to give up like this." Why don't the generals personally sit in Longxi and send a general to lead the troops to Wuwei? ”

Luo Zheng groaned and said, "Gu Zang is lost, what is Wen Ruoke's countermeasure?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Xun Yu Changshi has asked General Zhao Yun to lead 3,000 cavalry to the north to camp in Wuling, in case King Tu Hongtu takes advantage of the situation to lead his army south. However, General Zhao Yun only had 3,000 cavalry, so he could only defend according to the danger, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take the initiative to attack. ”

Luo Zheng nodded and said: "Wen Ruo's way of dealing with it is right, let's go to Longxian County first!" ”

Five miles west of Longxian, after Duan Xuan withdrew his troops, Gao Shun moved the camp here.

Duan Xuan has withdrawn to Guanzhong, and has his own lord to deal with, Gao Shun's only target has become Longxian, although he did not lead the army to besiege the city, but he cut off Ma Teng's supply of grain and grass, and was ready to trap Ma Teng alive.

Gao Shun sent scouts to explore horses and closely monitor the movements of various counties in Hanyang County, but whenever there was grain and grass to be transported to Longxian, they were robbed by Gao Shun himself, and Ma Teng led the army out of the city several times to respond, but they were repelled by Gao Shun.

Longxian, Ma Teng's official residence.

"Gao Shun Pifu, angry with me!"

Ma Teng roared again and again, and his face was hideous as if he was about to eat people.

At present, the city is about to run out of grain, and it can only hold out for more than half a month at most, but the grain and grass in the counties cannot be transported in, and the 5,000 troops sent out to transport grain are also broken by Gao Shun, and only more than 1,000 remnants of the army fled back and were defeated.

In addition to the more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in Longxian County, there are no soldiers and horses to be transferred from the counties of Hanyang.

As for the 3,000 soldiers and horses in Wudu, they had already been transferred back by Ma Teng.

If no further efforts were made to bring in grain and grass, twenty days at most, and the army would be hungry.

The danger of the situation has reached the point where it is as dangerous as an egg.

Ma Teng has been worried about tea and rice these days, and he hates Gao Shun even more, this guy is really a difficult bone to gnaw, and the 8,000 army under his command is not only equipped with fine food, but also well-trained, which is really difficult to deal with.

"Father!"

In the sound of hurried footsteps, Ma Chao walked in quickly and bowed his hand.

Ma Teng suppressed the anger in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Wu'er is exempt!" ”

Ma Chao straightened up and said in a condensed voice: "Just now the scout came to report, Luo Zheng has already led the army back. ”

"What, Luo Zheng is back?"

Ma Teng was taken aback, only to feel that his heart sank, and he couldn't help but say: "In this way, Luo Zheng should have broken through Duan Xuan's army, otherwise it would be impossible to return to Longhe so quickly." ”

Ma Chao said: "It shouldn't be possible, even if Duan Xuan suffered heavy casualties when he attacked Longxian and Gaoshun's camp, there are at least 20,000 troops under his command, and Luo Zheng only has more than 10,000 cavalry, how difficult it is to completely break Duan Xuan's army!" ”

Ma Teng snorted heavily, and said: "Wu'er, don't underestimate Luo Zheng's husband, this person is not only scheming, but also good at fighting, Xi Han then sat in Jincheng, and fought with his father for a few years, and his father did not completely destroy it, but Luo Zheng's battle broke Yunwu, and Han Sui was captured alive, are there fewer such examples?" ”

"This ......"

Ma Chao was speechless for a while, extremely unconvinced.

Ma Teng didn't say anything more, waved his hand and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on the Gaoshun camp, but if there is any movement, you can report it at any time." ”

"The child obeys."

Ma Chao arched his hand, turned and retreated.

Gaoshun battalion, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Luo Zheng paced back and forth in the tent, unable to make up his mind.

Jia Adjustment, Gao Shun, Yan Xing and others stood aside, all with solemn faces.

Gu Zang was lost, the situation in Wuwei was dangerous, Luo Zheng should have personally led the army to go, but the generals of Ranlong County, whether he could completely eliminate Ma Teng in a battle was also very important, it was related to the overall strategic situation, how could Luo Zheng let go lightly.

"Lord!"

Gao Shun suddenly took a step forward, and said loudly: "Today, Ma Teng has no reinforcements outside, no grain and grass inside, sitting in a lonely city, it is difficult to fly, and the last general is willing to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to besiege Longxian, at most one month, then Longxian can go down." ”

Luo Zheng looked at Jia Xu and asked, "What does Wen He think?" ”

Jia Xu looked at Gao Shun and wanted to object, but when the words came to his lips, he became, "Shouting that the general has a good command of the troops, and it is naturally very safe to sit in Longxian, and there is no opinion below!" ”

Luo Zheng thought about it for a while, and then said categorically: "That's it, the matter of Longxian County will be handed over to Peping, and now Duan Xuan is defeated and returned to Guanzhong, and he is no longer able to send troops to Liangzhou, Lu Bu is also struggling to breathe, Ma Teng should not be able to invite reinforcements again, but Peping still has to be careful to guard against the surrounding Qianghu departments." This general will leave you another 3,000 cavalry, after breaking through Longxian, you must take advantage of the victory to pursue, capture Wudu County in one fell swoop, and you must not let Ma Teng escape to Wuwei and make a comeback! ”

Gao Shun said loudly: "Don't worry, the lord will not disgrace his life!" ”

Luo Zheng said 'um' and said: "General Ben is still very confident in Peping, since this is the case, Yan Xing and Wang Fang quickly gathered a large army to pull out the camp and set off, and went to Liangzhou with General Ben to meet the Tu Gehu rebels. ”

"Yes!"

The generals responded with a bang and strode out of the tent.
