When Kebineng led the main force of the middle road from Manyi Valley through Yinshan, Zhao Yun had already led his army from two hundred miles to the north for two days.

Zhao Yun is a very calm and calm general, never willing, although the task of attacking the surrendered city has been completed very smoothly, the five thousand elites have only lost one percent so far, and the combat power of the troops has almost no loss, but he will definitely not take the liberty of fighting with the main force of the Xianbei people on the grassland, putting his soldiers in an isolated and dangerous situation. Therefore, Zhao Yun walked very quickly and decisively when leading the army to retreat, and chose a path that was difficult for outsiders to fathom.

Kebi was able to quickly intersperse his troops to the northeast, hoping to stop Zhao Yun on the west bank of the Aibugai River, but no trace of the Han army was found for three consecutive days, until the army came to the frozen riverbank, still clueless.

It is very difficult to pursue a target with a distance of more than three hundred miles in the vast prairie, not to mention that there are also agile steppe hounds in the pursued team, equipped with super equipment such as clairvoyance and compass, and Yan Rou who can find his way with his eyes closed.

Therefore, Kebineng was destined to be disappointed this time, and he couldn't find any trace of Zhao Yun at all.

After several days of wandering without a clue, in the case of finding the enemy to no avail, Kebi Neng had to lead the troops back, along the way he saw more than a dozen tribes that had been slaughtered by the Han army, his heart was as painful as being hanged, and the Tuoba clan leader Tuoba Changqing, the head of the Sugu clan Damaru, the Yuwen clan leader Hudang and others who fought with him were also furious, and they asked Kebi Neng to immediately order the three-way army to assemble in the direction of Takayanagi. Fight to the death with the hateful and cruel Han army of Youzhou.

Kebi was able to suppress the anger of several leaders, and silently led them into the surrendered city, and then saw three thousand heads stacked neatly and blindly. And the two lines of provocative words on the ground.

Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!

Zhao Zilong, the general of the cavalry, left a word here to set an example!

Every word is like a sharp sword, stabbing fiercely in the hearts of these Xianbei tribal leaders; Every word, like a fan-like big ear scraper, was slapped everyone's faces.

"I will definitely catch this fanatic surnamed Zhao in the future. Thousands of knives, peeling skin and cramps, crushing bones and ashes! Tuoba Changqing said hatefully.

"Youzhou Han Army. It's really rampant, if we can't avenge this revenge, what shame do we have to see our people again! The fox roared wildly.

"The Han army dared to use the heads of our people to build up Jingguan in our rear. In the future, every city in Youzhou was captured. We have to build a 10,000-headed Jingguan! Tatsumaru pounded his chest with both fists and cried.

Kebi can see the reaction of the leaders, and said coldly: "Just keep this place as it is, let every tribal leader come here to take a look, let them know how fierce the Han army is, lest they hide in the city built by the Han people one by one and spend all their days drinking and forgetting the purpose of our southward journey!" ”

Although Kebineng hated Zhao Yun and the Han army of Youzhou in his heart, he knew that his side was not ready to attack Youzhou in an all-round way. Therefore, he deliberately let the leaders of the various tribes who went south return to the surrendered city in batches from Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong and Yanmen counties to witness the Jingguan left by Zhao Yun. This can not only unite people's hearts and inspire the determination of the clansmen to fight to the end, but also delay the time to attack Youzhou.

The time soon came to the end of November, Zhang He, who received the order, had already led his troops back to Youzhou, he directly inserted Beipingyi in Daijun from Feihu Road, and stationed the army between Banshi and Gaoliu, and the 5,000 cavalry of the Xiaocai Guard and the 5,000 infantry of the Dragon Tiger Guard who were originally stationed here moved to Gaoliu, and the defensive strength of the western front of Youzhou increased from 30,000 to 45,000.

Liu He, who had been guarding Macheng, learned that Youyan's army had arrived on the Western Front, and he was even more sure in his heart, and continued to drill into the laboratory of the Ordnance Division every day.

On this day, the grizzled Liu He had just walked out of the door of the Weapons Division, and he saw Tian Chou rushing up and said, "Childe, good news!" General Zilong led the army to attack the surrendered city, killed 3,000 Xianbei thief chieftains, captured more than 5,000 war horses, and now has successfully withdrawn to Baishan Duwei City, and will return in a few days! ”

"Good! Good kill! Kill to relieve hatred! Liu He clenched his hands and waved his fists, a little carried away with joy.

It turned out that when Zhao Yun retreated, in order to avoid encountering Yu Zhuqi's troops in the Daqingshan area, he first traveled hundreds of miles to the northern desert, and then marched eastward, so that he happened to go around the newly built Baishan Duwei City.

Du Qi, who stayed in Duwei City, saw that Zhao Yun was leading the army, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to open the city gate, welcome the victorious soldiers into the city, and warmly entertain and take care of them. After nearly a month of arduous marching, the soldiers were already exhausted, and the horses under their crotch were even more fat, and they urgently needed to stop to rest and recuperate. Zhao Yun then entrusted Du Ji to send a messenger back to Macheng to report the results of the battle, and allowed the soldiers to stay in Baishan City to rest for a few days.

Macheng is only 300 miles away from the newly built Baishan City, and it only takes four days for the fast horses to travel back and forth, so the Military Intelligence Department soon learned of the good news, and Tian Chou hurried to say goodbye to Liu He.

Tian Chou admired and said: "Childe, this time, General Zilong also wiped out more than a dozen Xianbei small and medium-sized tribes on the way to the surrendered city, killed more than 23,000 Xianbei adult males, and captured more than 5,300 war horses when he withdrew from the surrendered city, and the casualties of this army were only 574 people, such a record is actually amazing!" ”

Liu He nodded and instructed Tian Chou: "Immediately draft a commendation order for me, and reward the soldiers who set out this expedition in accordance with the reward standards set by the Department of Internal Affairs." At the same time, more than a dozen copies of this commendation order were copied, and it was reported to all armies and counties in Youzhou and Jizhou, and the officers and men of all armies were required to follow the example of General Zhao Zilong and 5,000 brave men to bravely kill the enemy and defend the border! In addition, he gave an order to Zilong, asking him to temporarily lead his troops to stay in Baishan City, while resting the troops, and on the other hand, strictly preventing the two thieves of Xianbei Chenglugui and Micah in the east from attacking the crowd! ”

Tian Chou happily accepted the order and left in a hurry.

In the evening, Guo Jia, who went to Gaoliu to meet Zhang He secretly, returned to Macheng, and learned that Zhao Yun had successfully completed the task of attacking the surrendered city, and led the army to safely withdraw into Baishan City, he was also very excited, and he said to Liu He: "General Zhang has completely taken over the defense line of one hundred and fifty miles from Banshi to Gaoliu, and he divided the 15,000 soldiers and horses into three divisions: left, center, and right, of which the left part is commanded by Zhao Zhao and is stationed near Banshi; The Chinese army was personally commanded by him and stationed in Beipingyi; The right part is temporarily replaced by Wei and is stationed in Takayanagi. Judging from the current arrangement, the western front of Youzhou is enough to resist 100,000 invading enemies, and Gongzi can sit back and relax. ”

Liu He shook his head and said: "It's not enough for me to sit back and relax, I still have to stimulate Kebi to make him sleepless at night, like a fish in his throat." ”

"I wonder what Childe's plan is?"

"I want to send someone to Daqing Mountain to erect a stone tablet and engrave the words 'Zhenhu Mountain' to humiliate Kebineng."

"It doesn't seem to make much sense for Childe to do this, and when Kebineng leads the army eastward in the coming year, he will definitely climb the mountain himself and destroy this stone stele."

"Hmph, I just want to lure him to climb the mountain and destroy the monument, otherwise how can I send the meeting gift that I have prepared for a long time!"

"A greeting gift?" is as smart as Guo Jia, and he couldn't understand Liu He's intentions for a while, so he didn't believe that Liu He would really prepare a meeting gift for his old enemy Kebi.

"It's still in the works, and you'll know then." Liu He sold a pass to Guo Jia, without explaining what pit Kebi could dig.

In Baishan City, Zhao Yun received a commendation order signed by Liu He personally, as well as a long list of rewards, he handed it to Tang Meng, and instructed: "Circulate this commendation order among all the cavalry, and pass on my order, during the period when our army is temporarily stationed in Baishan City, everyone must strictly abide by the rules set by the Baishan Governor's Office, and must not be arrogant, not to bully the people, and not to have a verbal conflict with the brother troops in the city, if there is a violator, severe punishment will not be given!" ”

Tang Meng took the order and left, and Zhao Yun sent someone to invite Du Ji to discuss the matter of preventing Xianbei in the east.

Zhao Yun said: "I just received an order from my son, asking me to lead the army to stay in Baishan City and assist Brother Bohou to jointly resist the two forces of Xianbei Chenglugui and Mica in the east. ”

Du Ji hurriedly waved his hand and said: "General Zilong, don't be humble, in terms of official position, you are the captain of the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion, and I am just a lieutenant under the Captain's Mansion, so I am under your command." In terms of the ability to command the army, the gap between me and you cannot be counted in the Dao, and this time I just learned from you. ”

The two were polite, and in the end, Zhao Yun took over the command of Baishan City.

Zhao Yun asked Du Ji: "This time, the two forces of Xianbei Chenglugui and Mica in the east are approaching from the north bank of Rao Leshui in the direction of Baishan City, and they must have secretly made contact with Kebineng, who is entrenched in the north of Bingzhou, and wants to attack Youzhou from one thing to the other. Although Baishan City is currently beginning to take shape, the city defense system is not yet complete, and it is lonely, so it is not easy to defend. Brother Bohou has been working hard here for two years, and he must have accumulated a lot of experience in how to resist the invasion of the Xianbei people, but he doesn't know what countermeasures he has? ”

As Zhao Yun said, Baishan City is lonely in the north of Baishan, and it is more than two hundred miles away from the nearest Ning County. Zhao Yun asked Du Ji like this, in fact, there is also the meaning of the school examination.

Du Ji pondered for a long time and said: "The biggest advantage of the Hu people is that they come and go very quickly and erratically, and Gongzi allowed me to lead the soldiers and horses of the Duweifu to stay in Baishan City, the purpose is to use this city as bait to lure the Xianbei people to attack. The Youzhou cavalry moved quickly, and once it was found that the Xianbei people were attacking, they could quickly rush to reinforcements from the inner line and inflict heavy losses on the enemy. In view of this, the subordinates thought that they should not be in a hurry to deal with the Xianbei people who came to attack, and when they slowly tried to make them lower their vigilance, they always circled around Baishan City, and then created an opportunity for the main force of our cavalry to raid from the rear of the enemy! ”

Zhao Yun nodded, very satisfied with Du Qi's analysis.

"Bohou has grasped the key point, and this battle is like this!" (To be continued......)
