Zhang Han and Li You joined forces, relieved the siege of Xingyang, and sent the good news to Xianyang, the monarchs and ministers of Qin were very happy, and Li Si was ready to offer the emperor another strategy to fight the rebellion, so the upper table said:

A few months earlier, Mao Dun, the prince of Shan Yu, had led the Xiongnu soldiers to attack the border villages, and because the new Qin army had not yet reached the stronghold of the fortified stronghold, Mao Dun had fought a small victory under the Gaoque Pass, but he then withdrew. Later, it was learned that the real reason for Mao Dun's retreat was that Tou Man Shan Yu's favored Yan clan said bad things about Mao Dun, and Shan Yu transferred Mao Dun back. After the withdrawal of Maudun, the pressure in the north was lifted. Now that all of our border troops are in place, there is nothing to do in the north for the time being. However, the two thieves of Hebei Wuchen and Han Guang are very fierce, and Wang Li should be allowed to lead a border guard army out of Jingcheng to quell the rebellion and wipe out the two thieves as soon as possible. If Wuchen and Han Guang can be captured, Zhang Han and Li You can destroy Chen Sheng again, the world will be unified again, and His Majesty Shengming will be asked to decide.

Seeing that Li Si's performance was very reasonable, the second emperor sent fast horses to the north to let the king leave the pass to quell the rebellion. But at this time, Tou Manshan Yu returned because of the last time he had no success, but he was still angry. A month later, Tou Mandan Yu found out the news of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising, and thought that the opportunity had come again, so he sent Hu Yantuo, the king of Youxian, as the commander, and united Jiuyuan and the ten monarchs north of Yunzhong to form an army of 100,000 people. Then let the left general Lan bronze bone, the left captain Hu Yanqu, and the right commander Xu Bumin to lead the army; Hu Yanping, the Marquis of the Left Bone Capital, served as the supervisor and attacked Jiuyuan again. The right Xianwang oversaw the army at the foot of Dayin Mountain, first stationed the brigade, and then sent the left captain Hu Yanqu, and the right captain Xu Bumin as the vanguard, leading 50,000 troops to rush the pass. Because the Huns attacked suddenly, they won again and attacked Gaoque Pass. After Huyanqu and Xu Bumin entered the pass, they led their elite troops and crossed the Beihe River to Linhe City.

When Wang Li got the report, he led his lieutenants Su Jiao, Shi Xian, Wu Ming, Cao Shu and others to rush to Linhe to resist. When they came to the city, the Huns had already surrounded the city. Wang Li led the Qin army to the front of the battle and shouted a challenge. I saw Hu Yanqu and Xu Bumin coming to the gate flag violently, they were wearing soft armor and gold iron horses, they were very arrogant, and they didn't take the Qin army in their eyes at all. Wait until the two armies face each other. When the king left his horse, he shouted at the enemy formation: "Chief Hu, why do you repeatedly offend China?" Hu Yanqu laughed and said: "You Nanban are unreasonable, take away our grassland, and say that we have violated you!" Today, I have a big order under the account, and the right Xianwang has 200,000 armor, just to get back the grassland that originally belonged to us! Wang Li laughed and said, "What kind of are you?" Think about the past, this place is deserted, our Qin people after more than ten years of efforts, but also from the interior of the millions of people to move in, open up the wasteland, cultivate, build roads and build cities, only to turn this wilderness into a thousand miles of oasis, fertile land in the world. But it's better for you to come to herd horses today or to herd sheep tomorrow, and what kind of trampled the beautiful grassland? Now that we Qin people have run this place so fat, but you are salivating and fighting again, how can it be reasonable? Hu Yanqu saw that Wang Li sarcastically ridiculed them as barbarians, so he sneered: "The vast land, the vast grassland, only rely on force to fight, you just rely on rhetoric, it is really difficult to convince the public!" If you defeat us today, the land of Henan will belong to the Qin Kingdom. If not, it is Xianyang City, and we will occupy it too, hahaha! Wang Li said angrily: "Crazy people don't want to talk nonsense! Now, according to your words, let us use force to decide where the grassland belongs! Then he drew his sword angrily. At the same time, Hu Yanqu also pulled out the Xiongnu sword, and then repeated hoarsely: "Okay, you can only use force to decide the ownership of the grassland!" So he preemptively struck down, he let Su Bumin besiege the city, and he led the horse team to pounce straight towards the position of the Qin army. For a time, thousands of horses galloped under Linhe City, and the sound of killing moved.

Seeing that the Xiongnu's horse team was about to rush to the front of the Qin army, Wang Li decisively ordered: "Release the arrow!" I saw a fragmented arrow like raindrops shooting towards the Huns' cavalry, and wherever the arrow hit, the Huns fell from their horses. The rearguard of the Huns, seeing that the cavalry in front of them had fallen, rushed again without hesitation. Wang Li ordered the second-echelon Qin army to continue shooting arrows. The Huns fell in large numbers again. Hundreds of people were killed in this process. Hu Yanqu was shocked, reflexively ran to the city, and took over the city of Xu Bumin, but let Xu Bumin charge the Qin army again. Su Bumin then led his cavalry to charge three more times. The three charges were also blocked by the Qin army's strong crossbows, and hundreds more fell on the battlefield. When Hu Yanqu and Su Bumin saw this, they didn't dare to charge again. At this time, Wang Yue, the defender of the Qin State in Linhe City, saw that Wang Li and the Hun soldiers were fighting, so he led the Qin army out of the city. Hu Yanqu saw that the Hun soldiers were attacked on their backs, so he said to Xu Bumin: "The army of King Youxian is far away from us, and we have lost thousands of people in the first battle. If we don't retreat at this time, I'm afraid that the Qin army will block the return route of the Beihe, and then we will die without a place to bury! Xu Bumin thought for a while and thought that what Hu Yanqu said was very reasonable, so the two led their soldiers and horses to retreat to the North River. After only a few moments, the Huns disappeared without a trace. When Wang Li saw that the enemy had retreated, he pursued Wang Yue together, and when he came to Gaoque Pass, he blocked the gate and guarded it.

The Huns also had a set of particulars in warfare, and they often used the sun, moon and stars as the basis: if they fought during the day, they attacked when the white clouds did not cover the sun, and retreated when the sun was covered; Fight at night, attack when the moon is high, and retreat when the moon is short. When the soldiers slew the enemy on the battlefield, the commander rewarded them with a glass of wine, and the spoils of war were distributed among each soldier. If you capture an enemy, you can take it back as a slave. Therefore, when the Huns were fighting, they had to look for their own interests. If the corpses of your compatriots are snatched back during the battle, you can get all the property of the deceased. If you are defeated on the battlefield, you will be scattered.

After Hu Yanqu and Xu Bumin crossed the North River, they came to the camp of the Right Xian King at the foot of Yin Mountain, and recounted in detail the defeat in the battle during the day. When King Youxian heard that the two had lost the first battle and had lost a thousand cavalry, he was very angry, so he ordered Hu Yanqu and Su Bumin to be tied up and prepared to correct the Fa on the spot. Hu Yanping, the left bone of the supervising army, said to the right Xian Wang: "We crossed the Dayin Mountain and came to attack the land, this is a difficult and great battle. Now is the time to employ people, although the first battle was lost, it is not good to kill the general, please think twice about Your Excellency! All the generals also pleaded together, and they were spared the death penalty. King Youxian then gathered his subordinates to discuss a plan to attack the Great Wall. Hu Yanqu said: "The Southern Barbarian shoots us with an arrow, and he is not a good man. Tomorrow, King Xian will drive the army to the city, I want to fight Wang Manzi alone, I must behead him in front of the battle, in order to strengthen the army! When King Youxian heard this, he turned his anger into joy and said, "This is like the warrior of the Huns." If you can kill Wang Li in battle, I will promote you to deputy marshal!" ”

Suddenly, a person in the seat yelled: "If you say heads-up, naturally I will go!" Which of you is stronger in martial arts than mine? The sound of his speech was like thunder, and he frightened the people. Everyone looked back, and it turned out to be the bronze bone of General Zuo. This person has a wide body and a fat body, a big head and a thick neck, a beard and broom eyebrows, and eyes like lanterns, and looks very vicious. King Youxian was overjoyed and said: "The general is really the Great Wall of my Huns!" If you fight, you will be victorious. He immediately sent the colonel to the pass to write a war letter, and agreed to fight a duel with Wang Li tomorrow in front of the pass. Wang Li read the battle book and immediately gave instructions to agree to the duel.

The next day, the king of Youxian organized the 100,000 troops into ten square battle arrays, and in the middle of a battle array, he sat on a tall and sturdy chariot, commanded the ten phalanxes, and attacked the Gaoque Pass in a big way. Behind him is a guard of honor, as well as a pennant halberd, covering the sky and the sun, and the momentum is menacing. I saw that the four battle formations in front of them pushed the siege vehicles and made a rumbling sound, and they advanced step by step, stepping neatly, beating weapons, and beating war drums to the pass.

At this time, Lan Tonggu led a 10,000 armor soldiers to the front of the pass, he was wearing oil-soaked cowhide armor, wearing a deerskin flower tie around his waist, holding two machetes in both hands, and came to the front of the battle majestically and scolded and challenged. At this time, the pioneer car of the Right Xian King came to the front of the battle and shouted loudly: "Now the Great Shan of the Northern Kingdom is under the account of the Right Xian King led 200,000 armor soldiers to recover the prairie, and the army is invincible, who dares to resist?" Now this king advises the commander of the Great Wall Army of Qin to surrender as soon as possible, if he can say half a word, the Great Wall will become powder! After the Right Xian King finished speaking, the Hun army shouted in unison: "Kick the Great Wall!" Take the steppe! The roar was so loud that it seemed that the earth was trembling.

When Wang Li heard this, he roared angrily: "Bold Chief Hu! I advise you to retire early, or I will pull out all the hairs on your body when I get out!" Your 200,000 armor soldiers, but in my opinion, are just a group of sheep herders and scarecrows, how dare you spread wild here? Lan Tonggu said angrily: "Wang Manzi, you don't want to be reckless, I will fight you alone today, do you dare to fight?" If you are timid, sacrifice early, and if you send an unknown person out, I will be ashamed of your grandfather! Wang Li laughed and said, "Wrangler thief! Three generations of my family are generals, and their prestige shocks the world, so should you be afraid that you won't succeed? "After that, I have to go out of the customs to duel.

Adjutant General Su Jiao stopped: "You are the commander of the army, you can't go out of the customs rashly, just let the last general compete with that kid, right?" Wang Li said: "He is specifically looking for me to fight alone, and he will laugh at me if you go." So he walked down the gate, flew on his horse, and dressed himself in armor. Then he ordered 500 crossbowmen to go out of the pass, stood on both sides, and then let the soldiers beat drums to help the battle, blew trumpets to cheer, and then beat their horses and killed. When Lan Tonggu saw that the king had left the pass, he also ordered the soldiers to beat the cowhide drum, blow the bullhorn to strengthen the momentum, and then rode straight out. The two of them fought at the gate. One is behind the gate, with extraordinary skills, and is about to show his skills in front of the Huns; The other is the prairie eagle, who is brave and wants to fight in front of the people of Qin.

As soon as the two sides start killing, there is a tiger descending the mountain, the power of the dragon going out to sea, and the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers. The two of them came to meet each other with a knife, and the knife went to split, and they fought for 80 rounds, and they still didn't win or lose. The cheers of the sergeants on both sides were incessant. When King Youxian saw that the two of them had killed in the dark, and the sun and moon were dark, he was so excited that he applauded again and again. The two fought until noon, and in the end, the generals of the Qin army were worried about the loss of the commander, so they decisively ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. When Wang Li heard the call to collect the troops, he shouted, "Stop!" Both sides stopped their weapons. Wang Li said: "Although we have been fighting for a long time today, we have not yet decided the winner, and we will fight again another day, can you?" Not to be outdone, Lan Tonggu said loudly: "Why not? If you change generals and fight, you are not a hero! And the king was overjoyed, and went back to the gate.
