"Second brother, the emperor asked Li Guangli to settle down his troops, ostensibly to defend the Huns and bypass Yongzhou, but in fact, he is also guarding against us." Huo Tang said with some unhappiness, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's deployment soon spread to Dunhuang, Li Guangli's 90,000 army did not go north to fight against the Xiongnu, but settled the troops, which almost everyone can see.

"He is the emperor, how can he not have the heart of defense. I'm just worried about my brother...... Can Lu Bode alone stop the 200,000 Xiongnu army? Huo Guang said with a worried face, he took it for granted that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was guarding against him, but he was worried about whether Lu Bode alone and the 150,000 troops of Heshuo Fang and the two states could stop the 200,000 iron cavalry of the Huns.

Huo Guang's biggest concern is not actually the disparity in strength, what he is most worried about is actually Lu Bode, because whether it is Lu Bode or Yang Fu, they are all old! Lu Bode is already in his fifties, and he is no longer the young Taishou who led the three thousand iron cavalry of Youbeiping to crisscross the desert north. Now it may be useful to let him sit in the center, but let such an old man lead the troops to fight again, Huo Guang also sweated in his heart.

"Now it seems that the emperor has no one to use, and even Li Guangli has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility." Huo Tang is a woman after all, and it is inevitable that she will be a little mean when she speaks.

"Yes, there are not many generals in the DPRK and China who can be used. Lu Bode Yang is also old, Xun Yu and others are still acceptable as generals, but it is still insufficient to lead an army, Li Guangli ...... Ambition is too narrow, after all! Huo Guang also made a brief comment on a few people appointed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Today's Han Dynasty is indeed as Huo Tang said, there are not many people in the DPRK who can be generals, and it is an era of green and yellow. On the other hand, Huo Guang has a lot of talents, and the main military operations of the Han Dynasty in the past ten years have always been in charge of Huo Guangzai.

"It stands to reason that Wei Youqu and Hun Uwei have taken action, and Anxi should also attack in a big way, but judging from the military information received in the past few days, Olobazo still has no movement, and I don't know what he is still waiting for, and Xiaomei is always a little unsteady in her heart." Huo Tang expressed the doubts in his heart. Under normal circumstances, the Xiongnu and North Korea were flanked on both sides, and at this time, the army of Anxia should also attack in a big way, forming a three-sided encirclement. But when the northern and northeastern regions of Dahan were already in full swing, Olobazo still did nothing.

"You also feel unsure?" Huo Guang frowned and looked at Huo Tang.

Huo Tang nodded in response, with a solemn look on his face.

"In that case...... Ordered Bai Zheng to retreat to the two levels. Huo Guang didn't know that the 100,000 follow-up army that rested in peace was already on the way, and the calmness of Olobazo made him feel very uneasy, at this time Huo Guang actually had another more important thing to do in his heart, so when he heard that Huo Tang was also worried, he decisively made the decision to retreat again.

And this retreat to two levels is equivalent to completely abandoning the land of the Western Regions.

When the news of the Privy Council's order for all the troops in Wu'an City to retreat had just arrived in Wu'an City, Bai Zheng had not yet begun to plan how to retreat, and an unexpected change appeared to everyone.

"Wu Anjun, the scouts of our army have found that another 100,000 troops have appeared in Anxi, and they are less than fifty miles away from here." Zhao Ponu hurriedly walked into the hall, although Zhao Ponu was higher than Bai Zheng in terms of age and seniority, but Huo Guang personally designated Bai Zheng as the front-line commander, even Zhao Ponu had to obey orders.

Now there are still 70,000 troops in Wu'an City, and there are four generals, Bai Zheng, Zhao Ponu, Li Ling, and Gao Buzhi. Its strength has exceeded more than half of what Huo Guang has, but with such elite strength, when Bai Zheng heard that another 100,000 troops appeared in Anxi, a cold sweat broke out behind his back.

"Order, retreat immediately, don't want useless things, Yanchengjun, you stay behind." Bai Zheng immediately ordered.

The 250,000 army will not be able to hold out for long even if Wu'an City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and even if it is besieged, these tens of thousands of people will be besieged and killed here. Now that there was an order from the Privy Council to retreat, Bai Zheng did not hesitate to choose to retreat.

When Olobazo learned that the Han army was preparing to retreat, the imperial prime minister did not hesitate to order the entire army to attack and pursue the Han army. And this time, Olobazo directly sent 100,000 cavalry archers as the vanguard of the pursuit, these rest archers were lightly armoured, and only had a short sword except for the bow and arrow in their hands. They were already quick and agile, and they could shoot at medium and long ranges in motion, and they caused great trouble for the Han army to retreat after a pursuit.

After Gao Buzhi broke off with 5,000 cavalry, he could feel that this kind of resting archer like an appendage could not be thrown off at all. Immediately, Gao Buzhi reined in his horse's head and turned to face the pursuing Sabbatical Archers.

When Gao Buzhi turned the direction, the 5,000 cavalry accompanying him also turned around, and Gao Buzhi made a few movements, and the 5,000 cavalry quickly changed into a charging formation. At this time, there is no need to say anything, or even words to motivate these soldiers, they all know that the team they are in must make a charge, or even all die here, to buy time for those sixty-five thousand comrades to retreat.

"There is no defense, only attack, charge with me....." Gao Buzhi raised the ring head knife and shouted loudly.

No Han army saw how the battle against the pursuit was fought, and no survivor could describe the brutality of the battle at that time.

When Bai Zheng retreated to Yumen Pass with an army of less than 70,000, he didn't wait for Gao Buzhi after the break, and returned to Yumen Pass with him with the news of the 100,000 follow-up legions.

In the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, after hearing these news, Huo Guang and Huo Tang glanced at each other, and they finally understood what Ou Luobazo was waiting for, he was not waiting for the Xiongnu and Wei Youqu, but his own 100,000 follow-up army. And with the arrival of the next 100,000 troops after resting, the generals under Huo Guang also fell for the first time.

"I mean, let Le Junjun take those 30,000 foot soldiers to Yangguan and station, and Bai Zheng's 70,000 army will continue to garrison Yumen Pass. The distance between the two passes in a straight line is less than sixty miles, and our army is here to meet the army of rest. Moreover, there is only enough water to the west of the two passes in Puchanghai, two hundred miles away, and the supply and water supply of Olobazo is now 250,000 troops, but it is a serious problem, as long as they hold on to the two passes for a few days, they will have to retreat to the area of Puchanghai for temporary repairs, so that we will not face their constant attacks. 100,000 against 250,000 shouldn't be too much of a problem. Huo Tang pointed to the map and said to Huo Guang, now that he is the king of the Privy Council, she has actually discussed these possible situations with her subordinates many times. Factors such as water supply have long been taken into account in warfare.

"Just do what you want..... Let Gao You inherit the position of Yancheng Jun and continue to lead the original Gao Buzhi Department. Huo Guang seemed a little absent-minded, as if Oulobazo's army of 250,000 was not the main reason that really bothered him.

Gao You is the eldest son of Gao Buzhi, who came to Hexi with his father many years ago, although he is still only a middle-level officer at the rank of captain, Huo Guang still let him inherit the title of Gao Buzhi.

When Olobazo came to Yumen Pass with an army of 250,000 resting people, he couldn't help but be shocked by the defensive facilities in front of him. This huge fortress built directly on the plain was built entirely for war, and Olobazo also found that there were huge rammed earth fortresses and beacon towers and other buildings from the south of Yumen Pass, and finally connected with Yangguan more than 50 miles away. And these two huge war fortresses are horns of each other, and they guard the water source after the two levels. Moreover, in the rear between the two passes, there is also a Dunhuang City, where there is Huo Guang's Hexi military camp, which can support any of them at any time.

In Olobazo's eyes, this is no longer just two simple passes, but a huge and complete defense system. From the transmission of information, to the distribution of materials, to the deployment of troops, and even the control of food and water sources, it is all involved.

"The Wisdom of the East...... What a perfect defense system! Olobazo's eyes were eager to try, but he did not hesitate to praise the defense system of Yumen Yangguan.

However, without hesitation, Olobazo sent a legion of minions to attack. The attack on Olobazo chose to start from many places, and the whole process was an all-round temptation. For Olobazo, who was setting foot on the eastern lands for the first time, this temptation allowed him to figure out the purpose of those never-before-seen defenses, and also to understand how to support and deploy troops between these passes.

When Olobazo continued to test the defense system of the two levels, the news here was quickly transmitted to Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty, the Governor's Mansion of the Western Regions has urgently reported that the 100,000 follow-up legions have arrived, and now there are a total of 250,000 troops under the command of Olobazo. Wu'an City has been lost, and Yancheng Jungao does not know how to die in battle...... The rest army has already entered the second pass of Yumen Yangguan. Huo Guang, the governor of Dadu, has sent 30,000 temporarily recruited troops to Yangguan, plus the army that retreated from Wu'an City, a total of 100,000 troops were stationed in the two passes, and there were 30,000 Hexi troops in Dunhuang. "Hexi's arrival report did not conceal or modify the matter, and it was passed on to Chang'an in its original form.

When the number of 250,000 appeared in the imperial court, the entire court was silent, and even the face of Emperor Wu of Han was slightly pale. Now the army under Huo Guang's command is so 130,000, 130,000 against 250,000 can basically be said to have no chance of winning, and the ironclad cavalry on the frontal battlefield has not been able to effectively restrain it so far.

For a while, the court was gloomy, but the so-called blessing and misfortune were not a single line, when everyone had not recovered from the war in Hexi, a flying horse rode into Chang'an from the direction of Youzhou.

"Your Majesty.... Youzhou urgent report....." The waiter quickly got the urgent report sent by Youzhou Kuaima.

When he heard that it was another emergency report from Youzhou, Emperor Wu of Han's face was no longer white, but turned iron-blue.

The Youzhou emergency report appeared at this time, but it also saved Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty from ringing the giant bell of Weiyang Palace in the middle of the night.

"What's the urgent report, read it!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said in a deep voice, he is a generation of heroes, and he can still maintain the bearing of an emperor at this time.

"Youzhou Assassin Shi Urgent Report, North Korea Wei Right Canal Fraud, Left General Xun Yu led the army out of the city to pursue, Zhongwei Right Canal ambush strategy, Left General Xun Yu died in battle, 60,000 troops were wiped out, and now the whole territory of Beiping has fallen, and only Guangcheng is a lonely city. In addition, the ship of the general Yang Servant was scuttled by the ship, and Wang Weicheng could not be attacked for a long time, and now Yang Servant was forced to defend the sticky cicada. The chamberlain mustered up the courage to read out what had been written in the history of the Youzhou Thorn.

"Bastard..... Xun Yan, this bastard...."Emperor Wu of Han finally couldn't suppress his manic emotions anymore. For the first time, he scolded the minister in the court, and this minister was still General Zuo, who had just died in battle.

The 60,000 troops of the Second Division of Youji were annihilated by Xun Yu, which was a major defeat that had never been seen since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and it also appeared in the war against a small country like North Korea. Since then, almost half of the entire territory of Youzhou has fallen, and Yang Fu, who attacked the Korean Wangxian City from the waterway, has also been trapped in a place called Sticky Cicada on the southwest coast of Wangxiancheng.
