Chapter 278: The River Clan

On the other side, Le Yi, Lian Po, and Pang Xuanbing divided into three routes and went south along the Dahei River to clean up all the nearby Hu tribes.

When two big countries fight, the most dangerous thing is often not the enemy or the enemy, but the small countries that are watching around.

Hundreds of years ago, Jin and Chu fought for hegemony, and the two countries fought for hundreds of years, not only did the two sides have nothing to do, but they also fought stronger and stronger, but the small countries that watched the fight between the two countries were lost.

It is the same now, the degree of crushing of the surrounding Zhuhu by the Zhao State and the Xiongnu is not as good as that of the Jin State and the Chu State back then, and it is impossible to leave the possibility of these people to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Either join the Zhao State, join the Xiongnu, or die!

On the grassland, the Xiongnu were also doing the same thing, Shan Yu led a large army from east to west, like a plough, sweeping all the tribes, robbing all the spoils of war, and the two tribes of the Ragged and Lou Fu were forced to join the Xiongnu.

The Hu people in the Hetao area also went crazy, running to tell each other, or gathering a large army to prepare to break the net with Zhao and the Xiongnu, or preparing to surrender directly.

Their size is too small compared to the Zhao State and the Xiongnu, and it is possible to compete with the two when they are united, the question is how can they be united?

Just like the six countries facing the Qin State, if they can cooperate sincerely, another Qin State will have to be pressed to the ground and rubbed, but is it possible?

If it can be united, it will not be called a plate of loose sand.

"General, who are we going to attack first?" Yan Zhou said excitedly.

After learning about Yan Zhou's talent, Le Yi asked Yan Zhou from Zhao Kuo. The ability to accurately hit, combined with his talent for penetrating the enemy's weaknesses, can directly improve the strength of the Shooting Battalion by a notch.

Yan Zhou also has no opinion on becoming Le Yi's deputy general, although he doesn't like to be a deputy general, but it also depends on who the object is.

Wang Yi made Bai Qi a deputy general, but if he didn't treat him as a beautiful person, how many people in the world dared to laugh at him?

"River Clan!" Le Yi pointed to the south and said.

The Hezong clan was a Hu people who lived in Yunzhong and near Luliang Mountain, and it is said that they had some relationship with the Zhou Dynasty, and they also showed Mu Tianzi the "River Map" and guided Mu Tianzi to go west, and he was called Hebo. But now even the Zhou Dynasty is difficult to protect itself, let alone the Hezong.

King Zhao Wuling, like Ximen Leopard, doesn't believe in any Hebo or Hebo at all, it's all pretending to be a god and a ghost, what can I do? After pacifying Yunzhong, he directly drove the Hezong clan to the mountains south of Yunzhong.

According to intelligence, even among the current Hu forces, the Hezong clan is considered a weak one, and it can't even take out 50,000 soldiers.

Five days later, Le Yi's army crossed the Dahei River and came to the confines of the Luliang Mountains.

"In front of you is the Hezong clan. After this battle, Hetao and Henan will be officially included in the rule of our Zhao State! Le Yi pointed to the south and said.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, countries expanded their territories, mostly along the river, and after occupying a place, they began to build cities and build Guo, and the city was the territory, and the outside of the city could not be managed.

For example, Zhao Guo went north along the Fenshui Road to build Jinyang City, and then crossed Xiawu Mountain, went north along Yushui (Sanggan River), and captured the Datong Basin and Daidi.

The Hu people and Rong Di, who had previously lived here, were oppressed by the Zhao state and fled into the mountains, just like the Baiyue in the south of the Chu state.

These Rongdi were weak, scattered, and lived in the mountains.

Hit it, it's not worth it!

Don't fight, you'll be harassed at both ends in three days!

It has always been difficult for the Zhao state to form an effective rule over the areas beyond the plains, which is also the distress of the Yan state, the Qin state, and the Chu state.

This time, Zhao Kuo did not let the Hu people live in a place of bondage like the previous Zhao kings, but chose to fight from east to west, all the way through, and all the places were included in the rule of Zhao.

Just as Le Yi was thinking, the scout in front suddenly came to report that the vanguard had already fought with the Hezong clan. The Hezong clan collected 30,000 troops, laid an ambush in the valley ahead, and was discovered by our army scouts and rushed out.

"Thirty thousand troops! The Hezong clan should have poured out of the nest. "Le Yi is happy, in this way, it saves him the trouble of cleaning up the mountains one by one," Yan Zhou listened to the order, led 1,500 cavalry to rush over from the middle, and gave me the momentum, just Rong Di, and dared to take the initiative to attack! ”

Because the Hezong clan mainly lived in the mountains, Le Yi did not bring many cavalry.

"Lejian, Letao, the two of you each command an army of 5,000 people, one left and one right, give me a strong attack on the enemy's two wings and open the battle. Qingshe, you lead an army of 5,000 people, go around behind the enemy, hide and do not move, and when the enemy is defeated, stop them for me. Le Yi said very confidently, as soon as he started fighting, he thought about the arrangement after defeating the enemy.

"No." The four of them all clenched their fists and led their troops and horses to rush over.

Yan Zhou took the lead, as one of the only famous generals in Zhao State, he was able to suppress Qi State, and even captured Gao Tang, one of the five capitals, and now he is no longer ranked in Zhao State, and he is holding back a fire in his heart.

In China, no matter how much fire he has, he can only hold back, and he can't even complain that Zhao Kuo doesn't know anyone, because even he has to admit that Zhao Guo is full of talents, and the strength of many generals is above him, and they can almost be compared with him.

In the face of the Hu people, don't worry about this.

Yan Zhou roared, and his internal qi burst out, mobilizing the strength of the whole army, and cutting a gap in the Hezong clan army with one blow.

"Hahaha, Rong Di is Rong Di!" Yan Zhou laughed and rushed in along the gap, and the elite soldiers of the Zhao army slammed the horse's belly, followed behind Yan Zhou, and rushed in.

The Hezong army originally relied on the numerical advantage of dozens of times to suppress and beat the vanguard of the Zhao army. Yan Zhou led the army to rush up suddenly, and before they could adjust their formation, they were hit on the head and dizzy.

"The main force of the Zhao army is here!" He Zongjun looked at Zhao Jun fiercely, raised the mace in his hand, and roared loudly, "Sons, when Zhao captured Yangxu Mountain, we retreated. Then they captured the clouds, and we retreated! Now, they will occupy even our last homeland, and you tell the widows, shall we retreat? ”

"No retreat! No refund! All the people of the River Sect shouted, and the sound was heard from the mountains far, far away......

The war clouds in the sky kept tumbling, getting thicker and thicker, almost sinking to the top of the mountain, like the sea pressing down. Where the Zhao army and the Hezong army intersected, the war clouds collided wildly, and the dogs and teeth were intertwined.

With a wave of his left hand, a force fell into the army, and the army of Hezong became even more fanatical, carrying all kinds of weapons and rushing towards the Zhao army with a roar.

This is the talent of He Zongjun, and he called for: stimulate the morale of the whole army, overdraw the strength, and improve the combat effectiveness.

"Sons, rush with me, although you die, you will not retreat!" He Zongjun yelled and took the lead in rushing towards Zhao Jun.
