Chapter 34: The Major Forces of the Steppe
After Liu He successfully repelled Murong Ke, Liu Yi was worried that Murong Ke was only temporarily retiring from the army, and he would definitely come again soon after.
Liu He smiled, if it weren't for Liu Yi, the general under the command of Gongsun Du, this time, I am afraid that he would not be able to support himself to come.
However, Liu He didn't think that Murong Ke would come back in a short time, at least without unifying Xianbei, he would not come.
"Liu Yi: Force: 79, Intelligence: 86, Commander: 76, Politics: 86".
Liu He didn't expect that Liu Yi's ability value was also quite high, so he ordered Liu Yi to become the county governor of Xuansu County on the spot.
Zhao should be the county guard of Xuansu County, but this time he disappointed Liu He too much, as the county guard, in the war, he did not take the lead and played a role in boosting morale.
Liu He planned to make good arrangements for the official positions of each county after this time, and in this foreign invasion, many mistakes in official positions were exposed.
Of course, this is also the result of Liu Hegang's lack of talents not long after he took Liaodong.
…………
At the same time as Liu He and Murong Ke were fighting, the Xiongnu who were far away in Changli County also began to act.
Wen Zhong led an army of 30,000 and was not worried at all
The Xiongnu dared to attack Tuhe, but the crops outside Tuhe were afraid that they would be snatched away by the Xiongnu.
But Wen Zhong came not only to defend the city, but to scare the Hun army, so that they would not dare to go south again easily.
After all, the north of the state is the territory of the Huns, but now they are coming to Liaodong to grab things, how can Wen Zhong, as the commander of Liaodong, be willing.
Other Wen Zhong and others, I don't know, now there are tens of thousands of high-ranking cadres in Bingzhou, or iron cavalry, there is Yuan Shao behind him, and there is a white horse general Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, and the Huns have been scared.
And Liaodong, now that he has just changed his new master, his foundation is unstable, and he conspired with Xianbei and Wuhuan, so he came all the way to Liaodong, but it turned out that there were 30,000 troops guarded, and they were probably all going back.
In the grasslands today, there are four nomadic people with a population of more than one million: the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan and Qiang. Among them, the main force of the Xiongnu is in the north of Bingzhou, Xianbei is in the north of Youzhou, Wuhuan is in Liaodong, and the Qiang people are far away in Liangzhou.
And among them, the strongest is Xianbei, because a few decades ago, a great khan of Xianbei was born to unify the Xianbei tribes, and also destroyed Yanmen Pass, which resisted foreign invasions.
At that time, Emperor Ling did not dare to rebuild Yanmen Pass, and gave up the north and the state, if it were not for the fact that Ding Yuan later became the assassin of the state, so that Lu Bu attacked the Xiongnu in the north many times, and only then did he keep the state.
Unfortunately, Xianbei Khan died soon after, and his son Helian was young and talentless, so Xianbei gradually divided into three parts, namely Budugen, Kebineng and Suli.
The strength of the three parties is similar, although they all want to annex them, but they have formed a three-party situation, and Xianbei's attack this time is under Su Li's command, Murong Ke.
Then there was the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu existed for a long time before the establishment of the Han Dynasty, but after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent the Han Shuangbi Weiqing, after Huo Quai, he weakened the strength of the Xiongnu many times and divided the Xiongnu into the north and south Xiongnu.
Now after hundreds of years of recovery, the population has now more than 1.5 million, and the north and south Xiongnu have also begun to communicate, and united, there are only Xiongnu in their hearts, but there are many factions in the Xiongnu, and the contradictions between the north and the south are large, so they cannot pose a threat to the Central Plains for the time being.
Finally, there is Wuhuan in Liaodong, with a population of one million and nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, but the internal tribes are not united, and from time to time there are black things happening.
And Qiu Liju, the leader of Wuhuan, is just a reckless man, occupying the leader by force, but he can't convince the tribes, and he takes the benefits to himself every time.
Therefore, he was defeated by Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan in a row before, and his strength was greatly reduced, and he may find out about the mutiny soon.
The Qiang people probably have a population of more than one million, and in Liangzhou, there was a rebellion of the Qiang king Beigong Boyu, who was defeated by the Han court and Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo started his family, dominated Liangzhou, and married the daughter of the new leader of the Qiang tribe back home, which won the support of the Qiang people.
Now there are Ma Teng, Han Sui and others in Liangzhou, and the Qiang people also have a close relationship with them and have cooperated many times.
In addition to these four tribes, in the grassland, there are many tribes with only four or five hundred thousand, and there are also tens of thousands of tribes, they are related to each other and resist the attack of the four major tribes.
This was the case with Goguryeo and the barbarians in the south, who lived on their own territory and went to the Central Plains to invade when they lacked supplies.
…………
Just when the Xiongnu learned that there were 30,000 troops in the city, they were ready to go back, and they decided to go to Shanggu County, Dai County and other places.
Because Gongsun Zhan was worried that Liu He would attack him, in order to resist Liu He, he sent a large number of troops in Liaoxi, right and north, and other armies only needed to defend the city.
In winter, the night is late.
"How's it going?" Wen Zhong looked at Ran Min and Zou Jing, Xian Yuyin and other generals, and asked in a deep voice.
Wen Zhong received the news and knew that the Xiongnu had already been placed
I snatched my things and was ready to leave, so I decided to go and attack the camp.
At least the grain looted by the Huns should be burned to prevent the Huns from having a good time.
"Ready!"
Ran Min had a crazy look in his eyes and shouted in unison with the generals.
"Good! Let's go! ”
Wen Zhong went to attack the camp this time, and only brought 5,000 beggars and 5,000 cavalry, too many were easy to find, and in the face of 40,000 Hun cavalry, too many were not good.
At night, the stars twinkle, and in the moonlight, only figures can be seen.
"Kill it!" Ran Min saw that it was not far from the Hun military camp now, and spoke.
"Good!"
When Ran Min saw Wen Zhong agree, he instantly shouted: "Beggar army, kill with me!"
After Ran Min shouted, he directly took the lead, stepped on Zhu Long, held the hook halberd, and killed him.
The Hun soldiers who were in charge of guarding the camp first heard the shouting, and then saw Ran Min riding his horse rushing over, and hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
An enemy attack sounded, and the generals of the Hun battalion were quickly awakened, only to find that some cavalry had forced into the tent.
Some of the awakened Hun soldiers were killed in the military tent by Wen Zhong and the cavalry before they could start putting on their clothes.
"Kill!"
Ran Min drank heavily, his whole body was full of momentum, the hook halberd in his hand kept waving, and the mount Zhu Long kept moving with his master.
The Hun soldiers seemed to see the momentum of Lu Bu, the flying general on the grassland in the past, and they stayed away from Ran Min one after another.
Behind Ran Min is the beggar army, with endless ferocity in the eyes of the begging soldiers, looking at the Huns is like food, wanting to swallow the Hun soldiers alive.
"Kill ......"
…………
"Oh no, the Han army is coming to attack the camp!" A soldier hurried into the Hun tent.
"What? Quickly organize the Hun warriors. ”
Jin Su heard the words of the soldiers, and also heard the sound of fighting outside, and he relaxed his guard because he would leave tomorrow.
Jin Su never expected that Wen Zhong would send troops tonight, and now he was caught off guard.
"Come, Hun warriors, hurry up! Follow me to fight to the death with the Han army! As the commander of the 40,000 Hun army, Jin Su's ability must be not small, and he reacted immediately, and let out a loud roar.
As they saw the commander come out, the Hun soldiers had the backbone, and a team of men and horses came out of the barracks and fought with the greedy wolf army.
Wen Zhong saw that the Huns were opposed, calculated the time, and found that it was five minutes faster than estimated, so he knew that this commander reacted quickly.
In five minutes, the grain looted by the Huns had not yet been burned, but Wen Zhong did not hesitate and directly ordered the troops to retreat!
