"The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep."

Li Yunze, on horseback, looked at the vast grassland in front of him, "The wind is not small, and the grass is everywhere." But what about cattle and sheep? ”

Wuyao County is located at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, at the foot of the Great Wall.

From here, you will face the vast grassland after passing the Yin Mountain.

Li Yunze originally wanted to use the Xiongnu tribe here to sacrifice the flag, and even ordered the soldiers to wear armor.

But out of Yin Mountain, the sentinels wandered around the prairie for a long time, not to mention the tribe, and even the lonely herdsmen were not seen.

Facing Li Yunze's gaze, Chen Xin, an old comrade-in-arms who had fought side by side, Chen Xin, the eastern governor of Dingxiang County, immediately saluted and responded, "King, this was not the case in the past. More than ten days ago, his subordinates had sent sentry agents to investigate, and there was a thousand tent tribes stationed here. ”

"Hmm."

Li Yunze's gaze swept over the faces of the lieutenants of the counties, Dingxiang, and Yanmen in the clouds, "In other words, someone has leaked the news." ”

All the captains looked awe-inspiring, and no one dared to say much.

If this is accused of fornicating with the Huns, then it will really be the whole family jumping together to go to Huangquan.

Fortunately, Li Yunze did not take this opportunity to find a chicken to kill to establish his authority.

No matter what world he is in, he never kills his own people, but kills enemies on the battlefield to establish his authority.

"There's a skill in this city! The king is saying, "What great tribes are there around here?" ”

"The King."

The most familiar with the nearby terrain is naturally Chen Xin, the eastern governor of Dingxiang County, who once again clasped his fists and saluted and said, "This place is a hundred miles away from the west, and it is the middle city of the former Zhao Zhiyun, and there must be most of the Huns." ”

"Oh." Li Yunze's expression was a little melancholy, "Zhao Zhiyunzhong, Qin Zhiyunzhong." ”

Zhao defeated Donghu and expanded his land for thousands of miles.

Yunzhong County was once set up here.

After the Qin State destroyed Zhao, the Yunzhong County of the Qin State was also set up outside the Saiwai.

By the time of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were powerful, and the land north of the Great Wall was basically lost, and even Yunzhong County was transferred to the south of the Great Wall.

"This is the homeland that our ancestors opened up with their blood." There is another reason for Li Yunze's melancholy, that is, when Wang Zhaojun left the Saiwai County a hundred years later, he was sent to Yunzhong County.

This Yunzhong County outside the Saiwai is also very famous in later generations.

During the Tang Dynasty, it was one of the three surrendered cities on the north bank of the Yellow River.

During the Liaojin period, this was Dongshengzhou.

Ming is Dongsheng County Wei, Yunnei County.

After that, the name of this place is called Tuoketuo County, which belongs to Hohhot.

"The King." Seeing that Li Yunze was about to lead his troops to the west to fight, Gongsun Hong couldn't help but step forward and admonish, "The order given by the Son of Heaven is to meet those Huns who defected, if they go west"

Li Yunze turned his horse's head and walked west, leaving only a sentence for Gongsun Hong.

"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected!"

After the last time the Xiongnu attacked Han, Wang Tingbei returned to Longcheng.

Those who remained in the south to confront the Han army were the left and right Xian kings who were bounded north of Yunzhong.

And the royal court of the left and right Xianwang was also chasing water and grass at this time, and returned to their respective royal courts in the north.

The front line is the closest to Li Yunze, and the most powerful are the two Xiongnu tribes.

One is the headquarters of the King of Loufu stationed in Henan, and the other is the department of the King of Aries stationed north of Yunzhong and near the left of Yinshan.

Neither the Loufu nor the Aries were orthodox of the Huns, they belonged to a branch of the Northern Di, and they were the two tribes that Mao Dunshan defeated and conquered by crossing the Yellow River in the south after defeating the Yue clan.

The so-called Henan land does not refer to Henan with Luoyang as the center, but refers to the land of the Hetao south of the Yellow River.

At that time, the Qin general Meng Tian led an army of 300,000 to defeat the Xiongnu and recover Henan.

Everyone knows what happened later, at the end of Qin, the world was in turmoil, and the Great Wall Army went south to fight Xiang Yu in Julu, and the whole army was annihilated.

The land of Henan was seized by Mao Dunshan Yu, and Lou Fu and Aries naturally switched to the Xiongnu.

The Lou Fu Department stayed in Henan and belonged to the command of King Youxian.

The Aries Department was transferred to the vicinity of Yinshan Mountain north of Yunzhong and belonged to the command of King Zuoxian.

At this time, the royal court of the Aries Department is in the place of Zhao Qin's hometown Yunzhong County!

The Aries King is in a terrible mood.

The last time he went south, the fool of the big boss of the household, Subulu, threw tens of thousands of warriors and countless cattle, sheep and horses on the Han land.

That tragic defeat caused the Aries Department to be called a broken nerve.

Although Subulu's head had been made into a wine glass, it was still difficult to counteract the anger in the Aries King's heart.

The thing that upset him was not over, and he recently learned that there were several small tribes under the command of King Zuoxian, and he took advantage of the opportunity of King Zuoxian's royal court to return to the north, and suddenly defected and wanted to join the Han people.

Originally, they walked in Youbeiping, Shanggu and other places.

But because he was being pursued, he had to go all the way west to enter the Great Wall from the side of Dingxiang Yunzhong.

The Aries King is here, and he has to attack with troops.

has suffered heavy losses, and has to go to war, of course the Aries King is in a bad mood.

But there is no way, he is under the command of King Zuoxian, if he doesn't fight in the face of traitors, then when King Zuoxian's court comes back, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

The Aries King had no choice but to summon all the nearby tribes and vassal tribes to the royal court.

Prepare to gather forces to go to war with the defecting tribes.

However, just as they were about to go to war with the traitors, another earth-shattering thunderbolt came.

"The Han army is coming!"

The grievances of the Aries King have really reached the top!

If it weren't for the great loss of the tribe's strength, he would not have set up the royal court so close to the Great Wall.

If he hadn't fought the traitors, he wouldn't have gathered all the scattered tribes and vassal tribes.

Well, now, the Han army appeared in the most suitable place at the most suitable time, and the Aries Department couldn't even escape.

If only the royal court is here, even if the Han army suddenly appears, the king of Aries can send cavalry to attack and disturb the delay, and then abandon some of the burden, and take the royal court to run along the Yin Mountain.

If the Han army is brave enough, then you can chase after you and see if you can drag you to death!

But now it can't be done, the entire Aries tribe and many vassal tribes are all concentrated in the left side of the royal court.

How to run in this situation?

Let the warriors abandon their families, cattle and sheep tribes, and run away with themselves? On the way, you have to be hacked to death by the warriors!

And without the support of the tribe, without the old and weak women and children who do logistics, and without the cattle and sheep and other materials necessary for survival, even if the warriors run away, will other tribes such as Lou Fu give them their own materials to enjoy?

The Xiongnu said that it was an empire, but it was essentially a tribal alliance.

Each tribe sweeps the snow in front of its own door, and no one will be a good person to help others.

Good people are creatures that cannot survive on the prairie.

"Too much deception!"

The Aries King finally made a decision: "Gather the people and fight with the Han people!" ”

He thought that he still had the strength to fight, after all, if he forcibly made a big shot, that is, all men over the age of fourteen and under the age of sixty would be conscripted into the army, and he would be able to mobilize an army of nearly 40,000 horsemen.

At least in numbers more than the Han army.

The battlefield is like this, there will always be all kinds of uncertain things.

For example, Li Yunze did not go to meet the defecting Huns, but went west.

His original intention was just to find a Hun tribe to fight, but he didn't expect that the entire Aries King's department would be concentrated here.

And the reason why the Aries King concentrated all his manpower was to fight the traitors, but he didn't expect the Han army to suddenly appear so close.

If you can't escape and can't escape, then you can only fight hard.

What if we win?

This battle is the product of collisions under various coincidences, and both sides are not psychologically prepared for a large-scale decisive battle.

There were more than 18,000 soldiers on the Han army's side, and there were also tens of thousands of Tutuan villagers.

The Aries Department pulled out all the men here, almost 40,000 horses.

This is a general battle of nearly 70,000 men, and in this era, there is no doubt that it will be a large-scale decisive battle, a decisive battle that will determine the fate of the Aries tribe.

As for the tens of thousands of servants brought by Zhidu, they were only responsible for the transportation from Zhongshan to Dingxiang County, and did not follow them out of the fortress.

The initial encounter between the two sides was still the Hun cavalry who came to harass, which was their characteristic tactics against the Han army on the grassland.

If it weren't for the proximity and the fact that there was a wide river nearby, you would have to pollute the water source by throwing dead cattle and sheep or something.

After all, it is a war, and any means can be used to win.

Li Yunze's response is still a van.

It is said that since Li Yunze invented the van last time, it has quickly been highly valued by the Han army, and almost all parts of the Northland Great Wall Army are building vans, which is also like Li Yunze can use the van as soon as he gets out of the jam, and he will not have to make it slowly.

On both sides were van guards, and there were soldiers in front and rear, and Li Yunze led the Chinese cavalry and the Tutuan villagers who transported supplies in the middle of the car formation.

The cavalry in his hands naturally did not go out to chase and fight with the harassing cavalry of the Huns.

This cavalry is a trump card, a trap cavalry used to trap the battle, how can it be easily consumed in such a chase battle.

However, the experienced Li Yunze is also keenly aware of the changes on the battlefield.

"Why is the strength and intensity of the Huns' attack so large?"

Li Yunze originally thought that in Zhao Qinyunzhong's hometown, there were at most scattered tribes.

But it seems that the scale of the forces that attacked the Huns is obviously not like this.

He summoned Zhao Guang, the governor of the western part of Dingxiang County, "You take the cavalry to rush and catch a few people who can talk alive." ”

"Whoa!"

In addition to Li Yunze's own 1,000 elite cavalry, the border armies of several counties he recruited also had cavalry.

Zhao Guang led hundreds of cavalry to suddenly kill out of the chariot formation, and went straight to a group of Hun cavalry who had lost their vigilance because the Han army had not fought back.

Not only did they succeed in defeating this cavalry, but they also captured a hundred commanders.

After a quick and effective interrogation, Zhao Guang, who was overjoyed, hurried back to report the good news.

"Great King, the royal court of the Aries Tribe, including their vassal tribes, are all in the former Qin and Zhao Yunzhong County Governing Land!"

"Hahaha~~~"

Hearing this, Li Yunze looked up to the sky and laughed, "God help me!" ”
