After being reminded by Xiao Liuzi, Zhang Liao also thought of this, the sheepskin raft is not a rare object on the grassland, basically every tribe will have it, blow it up when it is used, and fold it when it is not in use, it does not take up much space, which is very convenient. Many can also be sewn together to carry cattle and sheep across the river.

Xiao Liuzi told Zhang Liao some of the Wuhuan people's situation, and the two discussed it again and went to rest.

At dawn on the second day, Zhang Liao came to the head of the city of the partial pass, the partial pass city wall is three zhang high, relying on the Yajiao Mountain to build, there is only one pass wall, the side of the mountain builds a pass tower, there is a watchtower on it. Standing on the wall, looking to the east, condescending, a horse flat river, a few hundred meters away is the Tuo River. Although the city wall of the partial pass is not high, the difficulty of capturing the partial pass is definitely more than that of Yanmen Pass.

From here, the Hanshan Mountains form faults, forming many rivers that interweave and flow into the Tuo River. It was difficult to march on a large scale, and Zhang Liao did not dare to take it lightly, and sent scouts to carefully investigate the defense for hundreds of miles to prevent the Hun army from sneaking up on the mountains.

Xiao Liuzi was talking to Zhang Liao about the situation of the mountain in the distance, but he saw more than a dozen Wuhuan people on the Tuo River, riding a sheepskin raft towards the pass, and it seemed that he didn't want to come to attack the city.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the soldiers to bring up a Wuhuan man.

This Wuhuan man can speak Chinese, and he looks a little similar to the Han people, except that the bridge of the nose is a little high, and the eye sockets are deeper, and he looks like the Ukrainians of later generations.

"Meet the general" Wuhuan soldiers knelt down and saluted, very respectful, but the Chinese was a little jerky.

"You Wuhuan people attack the side pass for no reason, what is your intention" Zhang Liao asked in a cold tone.

"Tell the general, we are also forced to do so, the Xiongnu broke through the tribe, the chief of Sumuyan was killed, we desperately escaped, the road to Liaodong was also blocked by the Huns, only to take the Daodai County from Shanggu County to return to the place of our people, and ask the general to complete"

The Wuhuan people were very earnest and kept kowtowing, hoping that Zhang Liao could let them enter the pass.

Zhang Liao fell into deep thought, and the little six sons next to him kept shaking his head at Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao gave Xiao Liuzi a reassuring look and asked again.

"How many of you are there"

Wuhuan hesitated for a moment and said.

"We have a total of 4,000 cavalry, and more than 30,000 tribesmen, the right sage king of the Huns, Hu Chuquan, will definitely not let us go, will definitely kill all our people, please let us pass"

Zhang Liao pondered for a while and asked.

"How many cavalry did the Huns have and where are they now"

"About forty or fifty thousand cavalry, and the cavalry of the Qiang people. The people are cruel and bloodthirsty, and many of our people have died at their hands, even women, children, and the elderly."

Zhang Liao's heart sank after hearing this, the Huns still had so many cavalry.

"Can you take advantage of the pass, I can't be the master, wait for me to report to General Anton, you wait in the pass, and there will be a reply tomorrow at the earliest."

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he ordered someone to take the Wuhuan people down. After discussing with Xiao Liuzi for a while, he wrote a letter and sent it to Yanmen Pass quickly, and Wang Gang's battle report had been sent to Luoyang at this time, along with Wang Gang's war report, as well as a letter of help written by Zhang Yi of Taiyuan County.

Above the court.

Emperor Liu Hong instructed Zhang Rang to read Zhang Yi's letter asking for help, and the ministers were shocked after hearing it.

Wuyuan County was all occupied by the Xiongnu, Wuyuan County Taishou Lu Bu did not know the life and death, and now Liu Bao has led a large army into Wudu County, and can launch an offensive against Taiyuan County at any time.

One by one was silent, waiting for Liu Hong to speak, there is an essential difference between Wuyuan County and Yunzhong County, Yunzhong County is only a nominal state county, but it is actually occupied by the Hutu people. And Wuyuan County is the real territory of the Han family, I used to shout that the wolf was coming every day, but now the wolf is really coming, and it is still so fierce, and it captured Wuyuan County in a month.

With the occupation of Wuyuan County by the Xiongnu, the territory of the Xiongnu doubled, and there were only Shuofang County, and parts of the Hetao in Hexi, plus several county towns in Yanmen and the Mobei grassland. Now after occupying the five plains in the clouds, these places will be connected to the city. There are more than 1,000 miles in the north and south, and there is enough strategic space to threaten the annexation of states, Guanzhong, and Youzhou, which makes the ministers not afraid.

There was a brief silence in the lobby, and then whispered, and some peacemakers glanced at each other, and they all looked at Situ Yuan Feng, who could only take a step forward and saluted and asked.

"Your Majesty, I don't know where General Anton is now"

Liu Hong was stunned when he heard Yuan Feng's words, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"General Anton's matter will be talked about later, who is to send to rescue Taiyuan now?"

But Yuan Feng said unrelentingly.

"General Anton was ordered to resist the Xiongnu, lead the state army, and should sit in Taiyuan"

The other ministers' eyes lit up, and they also opened their mouths to echo, Liu Hong wanted to refute, but he couldn't find an excuse. Even Wang Yun and Xun Shuang felt that what Yuan Feng said was reasonable.

Liu Hong had no choice but to take out another battle report and hand it to Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang took two steps forward, opened a piece of cloth and read aloud.

On October 20 of the fifth year of Zhongping, Hu Yanzhuo, the left marshal of the Huns, led 8,000 Hun cavalry and 20,000 Hun slaughter foot soldiers. Attacking Yanmen Pass, the soldiers resisted to the death, and introduced the Hun cavalry and Hugh Tu people into the pass with a strategy, and the soldiers hid on both sides, and ten thousand arrows were fired together, and the Huns were defeated.

In this battle, 8,000 Hun cavalry were killed, and Hu Yanzhuo was beheaded by Captain Wu Zhao, who killed 16,824 Hugh and captured 3,366 people. A total of 3,601 horses were captured in this battle. Two thousand four hundred cattle, and twenty thousand and three hundred. Weapons and arrows don't count.

This battle is all dependent on the blessing of the emperor, His Majesty is attentive, and the soldiers are with their lives.

The situation in the state is serious, and it is impossible to meet His Majesty in person.

The minister and king have just bowed to Your Majesty again.

October 24, the fifth year of Zhongping.

The whole lobby became as silent as death, originally they thought that Wang had just gone to Bingzhou, but he was hiding in the corner of Bingzhou, but he didn't expect to really run to Yanmen, this news was too unexpected for everyone. And this Wang Gang was too fierce, and directly wiped out an army of 30,000.

However, the general He Jin was overjoyed, others read the battle report and saw the number of enemies killed, but what he saw was 3,000 war horses. This is a relief in the snow for the current imperial court, if 3,000 cavalry are trained, then his voice in the court will be unmatched.

Not only did He Jin look at the more than 3,000 war horses, but even the emperor Liu Hong also took a fancy to it, but he and He Jin thought differently, now the biggest trouble in the entire Han Dynasty is the war in Xiliang, if you can send 3,000 war horses to the army of Xiliang, the war in Xiliang will be much easier, as long as the army of Xiliang is liberated, then Hebei and Bingzhou are no longer a problem.

Liu Hong walked down the stone steps, came to Zhang Rang's side, took the battle report, Youzai read it carefully twice, and couldn't help laughing. The whole person seemed to be more than ten years younger, and his face was ruddy.
