At the foot of Luhoi Mountain, the last convoy disappeared over the winding mountain road.

The cart was full of winter vegetables, turnips, and yellow hay that had been harvested.

Shao Shen immediately stood on the west bank of Ganshui, looked at the Hun cavalry across the river, and laughed loudly.

Occasionally, he would shoot an arrow or two, and from time to time he would catch something.

The evil boys behind him pointed to the appearance of the Huns dodging arrows in embarrassment and laughed.

As Chen Hou's niece, Shao Shen's martial arts have always been the part that Chen Hou cares about the most.

He has the best conditions for studying.

Eat well, eat well, can invite excellent martial artists who are good at teaching others, and there is no shortage of various consumables such as war horses and bows - yes, when tempering skills, war horses are also consumables.

It was also checked by his uncle at any time, so he didn't dare to be lazy, and over the years, his skills have been very outstanding.

Even, not only himself, but also a group of evil teenagers who followed him also obtained good learning conditions, made rapid progress, and gradually became his solid and reliable team.

Early this morning, Shao Shen took more than 100 horsemen down the mountain, patrolled on the left bank of Ganshui, and when he saw the Huns riding, he immediately rushed up and shot arrows at each other across the river, which was very advantageous.

After the Huns suffered a loss, they called a lot of people, and the two sides shouted and scolded each other in words that the other did not understand, and the scene was very lively.

"Whoosh!" After stealing Leng Zi shot an arrow over a certain Hun cavalry, Shao Shen laughed and rode his horse north.

The Hun cavalry on the opposite side seemed to have been seriously insulted, and while scolding, they pursued on horseback, and fired back from time to time.

Shao Shen deftly dodged the arrows shot from the opposite bank, and after running out for hundreds of steps, he stood on his horse and said loudly: "I don't think you are a real Huns, but you work for Liu Cong and give up so much!" It's better to cross the river and come down, I will send you and others to my uncle's account, how can you mix a share of money and food in the volunteer army, how about it? Who is it not a soldier for? Don't be too stubborn. ”

The Hun cavalry on the opposite bank also stopped.

They looked at the other side carefully, and when they saw that there were only more than ten cavalry left on Shao Shen's side, they were slightly puzzled.

There are more than 100 riders left, where will they go?

The Central Plains cavalry is different from their number of roads, good at hand-to-hand combat, once they are entangled, they can't play any riding and archery skills, and they suffer a lot.

Some people looked around, looking for the figure of the disappeared cavalry on the other side, but found nothing.

"Whoosh!" Shao Shen shot another arrow, hitting a Hun cavalry in front of the door, and then rode his horse north, laughing and leaving.

The Huns were furious and chased after them with endless scolding.

Okay, you Central Plains thief, I'll wait for a good duan to shout to you, but you don't talk about martial arts, and you attack with cold arrows, I must kill you today, otherwise I won't be able to get out of this evil breath.

The two sides galloped along the river like this, repeatedly greeting each other's ancestors for eighteen generations, and the vulgarity of the words made people unable to listen to them.

"Death to the thief!" When the Huns were scolding, they saw hundreds of horsemen rushing ahead, all armed with spears, halberds, and horse lances, and they were fierce.

Where the did this come from?

The Hun cavalry was so frightened that they hurriedly turned their horses' heads to avoid the oncoming melee cavalry.

But their horses were already very fast, and they were still walking in the opposite direction, and when they found out, the other party was already a hundred paces away, and they had no time to dodge, so they could only rush forward.

More than 300 horsemen on both sides hedged past.

The Hun cavalry, which lacked long-pole horse warfare weapons, suffered a big loss and was directly rushed to pieces.

Shao Shen laughed on the other side of the river.

These fools, do I really waste saliva with you when I have nothing to do?

Lao Tzu had already sent people to the shallows downstream of Ganshui, wading across the river, and waiting for them to take the bait.

Idiot! Haha, I've never seen anything so stupid.

The melee cavalry on the other side of the river had already launched a second round of charge.

The Huns broke away one after another, not daring to fight.

Melee cavalry chased after him, brave and brave. Every time you catch up with someone, you stab your spear and halberd into his back and kill him with ease.

After chasing him for several miles, he slowed down his horse, cleaned up the battlefield, and crossed the river with a smile.

Looking at the more than 100 horses that his subordinates had gathered together, Shao Shen couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

He has been stationed in Gancheng for a long time, and he knows Luhoi Mountain and Ganshui well, teasing a group of newcomers to the Huns, and he is simply captured.

However, it's just teasing.

If a large number of Hun cavalry really came to kill, he did not dare to meet the battle head-on, so he could only retreat to Gancheng and hold on until the end of the war.

Uncle Xin sent an order, which made it very clear that Yiyang Sanwu, Gancheng, and Yique Pass were his defense areas, and there should be no mistakes.

After receiving the order, he immediately dispatched 500 good men from Gancheng to join up with 1,500 Ding Zhuang and 1,000 Tun Ding collected from the direction of Liang County, a total of 3,000 soldiers, stationed at Yique Pass, and held the southbound road.

It's not the first time I've done this.

Last time, it was a government soldier, this time it was a fort and a tunding, a little risky, but the problem was not big, the Xiongnu's siege ability was like that, three thousand people were enough to defend it for a long time.

It's really not good, the rear can also send reinforcements, even if it costs people's lives, they can consume the Huns to death under the city.

As for the two passes of Dagu (Taigu) and Yuyuan, they are not his defense areas, and they don't need to be taken care of by him.

Luonan has three passes and one lock, and the Hun brigade will not be able to go south.

There are still government soldiers in the rear to check and fill in the gaps. This war is back on the track they are familiar with.

When returning to Luti Mountain with the booty, Shao Shen climbed a high slope and looked at the blue-gray fields, the shining rivers, and the looming manors and dock forts in the distance, standing for a long time.

Every time people rush into the Luoyang Basin, they are very passive after all.

******

Liu Shan has already brought people to Yuyuan Pass.

After managing the two docks of Yushan and Yangguan for several years, he vaguely regained the feeling of the southern expedition to Wu.

The sound of fighting and drums and horns has almost been permanently engraved in his life.

He doesn't know how to manage the people, and he doesn't like to do all the complicated chores.

He prefers a simple and rough life in the army, so in the dock fort where the military and the people are ruled by the military, he is like a fish in water, and all affairs are in order, and the fort is even more practiced whenever he has leisure, so he repeatedly went to Liang County to ask for food and increase the frequency of training as much as possible.

And when he practiced like this, the results were obvious.

The trenches dug by the burghers outside the pass were deep and wide, and the bottom was full of bamboo sticks, which was "pleasing to the eye" to look at.

Inside the castle, the garrison sergeants were divided into battalions. Who defends first, who rotates, who is in reserve, etc., the tasks are clearly assigned, and the battalions also understand the order and will not mess up.

Behind the city, he even organized more than 100 burghers who could fight on horseback to patrol at any time to drive away enemy scouts who came over the mountains to ensure that the inside information was not revealed.

This is war, real war.

Liu Shan has entered his "comfort zone" and is very comfortable.

"If you don't dare to defend the high walls of the city, and there are ditches, you deserve to be taken away and your wife become a slave." Standing on the high city wall, Liu Shan took a deep breath, took back his slightly fat belly, and said loudly: "The Huns also carry a head on two shoulders, and they are not much stronger than you. Fight well, there are so many guards, and the city is very stable. ”

"Foiled the Huns' attempt to go south, when you go back, you can also hold your chest up and tell your wife and neighbors that you have saved everyone."

"Those who are killed or disabled in war have a bereavement pension. If the Hou Mansion doesn't send it, I'll find my nephew to theorize. In the past two years of training, I have begged for you how much food I have fought, so be careful. ”

"Even when I'm sleeping, keep one eye open for me, so that no one can steal the city."

Liu Shan is in his forties, but his voice is extremely loud, standing there and roaring, heard from far and near.

When everyone heard this, they all agreed.

Liu Shan looked into the distance with his head again.

In the open field, from time to time, there are three or two of you.

The messenger was afraid to go out, and the scout was forced back. Now I don't know the situation in Luoyang at all, and I don't know how many people came from the Xiongnu.

Liu Shan thought of his nephew who went south, why didn't he come back?

No matter how good Nanyang is, it is not as important as its own foundation.

Luonan counties and Chen County Yingchuan, is it comparable to Nanyang?

He didn't know the full layout of his nephew, and he couldn't understand it. His knowledge and experience can only support him to do the things in front of him, that is, to guard the two passes of Otani and Yuyuan.

In his opinion, these places are safe for a short time. But if the Huns attacked and attacked fiercely regardless of casualties, it would be difficult to say.

I heard that the Xiongnu had changed a new emperor named Liu Cong, but I didn't know what he would do.

******

Pei Chun came to the Tiger Prison with a bitter face.

The city is not big, and after stuffing 3,000 soldiers and a large amount of grain and grass, it is already full, and there is almost no place to stay.

In addition to the county soldiers, the other 2,000 soldiers were borrowed by him, half of them were from the Kaifeng Zheng family, and the other half were recruited from the local tyrants in the county.

He didn't know soldiers, let alone how to fight, and he couldn't see what the quality of these soldiers was, but he was subconsciously worried.

Shao Xun's letter has been sent urgently.

To be honest, he was a little angry.

What is Shao Xun's identity, and he dares to say such things to him?

But after the anger, he still came to the Tiger Prison honestly. No way, the murderer's words are not just words, he may really kill people.

The Yangxia He clan, the national dynasty, directly uprooted him.

With the experience of the previous car, Pei Chun felt that there was no need to challenge Shao Xun's authority.

"Ugh." Pei Chun took a sip of wine and frowned.

"Why is the prince sighing?" Zheng Zun, the former Shang Shulang who sent the soldiers to the Tiger Prison Pass, got up, poured Pei Chun full of wine, and asked with a smile.

Zheng Zun is the son of Zheng Zheng, the great Si Nong.

His grandfather, Zheng Yuan, was a doctor of Cao Wei Guanglu, and he was a commonplace when he entered the Jin Dynasty, and he insisted on not accepting it.

The second uncle, Zheng Yu, was in the court, and Ren Shangshu's right servant shot.

The third uncle Zheng Qiu passed away two years ago, and he was the right long history of Wang Ying in Chengdu, and he was tired of serving in the middle and middle guards, shooting the right servant of Shangshu, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials.

This family, with many eunuchs, is still relatively prosperous.

But in the second year of Yongjia (308), the Kaifeng Zheng family began to cross to the south, and the farthest of them even entered Fujian, which is also outrageous.

There are also many who remain in the Northland.

Like Zheng Xi and Zheng Zun's father and son settled in Luoyang, but there were frequent wars in the past two years, and they returned to live in their hometown in Xingyang.

This time the troops were sent to guard the Tiger Pass, and there was also a fierce debate within the family.

Many people think that they should not help each other, and focus on preserving the family, so as not to be liquidated by Liu Han in the future.

But more people are afraid of being liquidated by Shao Xun.

When Liu Yuan was alive, he was relatively tolerant to scholars, and did not treat or even kill people very harshly. But Shao Xun really wiped out the Shi clan, and the example of the Yangxia He clan is there, he will really kill people and liquidate.

In the end, after all, he still sent a thousand Zhuangke over to guard the Tiger Prison for Pei Chun.

"What's the use of sighing and not sighing?" Pei Chun waved his hand.

There are some things he doesn't want to tell outsiders, it's too embarrassing and shameless.

"But you're worried that you won't be able to hold the Tiger Prison?" Zheng Zun asked.

"Whether I can hold it or not, I have to stand up here." Pei Chun sighed.

Zheng Zun looked at his face and thought to himself, Fu Jun didn't seem to be very valued on Chen Hou's side.

"Chen Hou resisted the tiger prison with soldiers, but he didn't know what he meant?" Zheng Zun asked tentatively: "Do you want to block the Huns around Luoyang and sit back and watch the forbidden army fight with the thieves?" ”

Pei Chun paused his hand and put down the wine bowl.

Zheng Zun continued to observe Pei Chun and said: "Yique, Taigu, Yuyuan, and Tiger Prison are in hand, and it is difficult for the Huns to get out of Luoyang." I heard that Chen Hou has made a lot of efforts in Chenjun and Yingchuan, and it seems that he doesn't want the Xiongnu to break into Yuzhou, as for whether to save Luoyang, it may depend on his mood. Fu Jun had a close relationship with Chen Hou, but he didn't know ......"

Pei Chun put down the wine bowl heavily.

When Zheng Zun saw it, he sued again and again.

He probably already understood that Pei Chun's performance revealed a lot of things.

Chen Hou's ambition is quite big.

With such a huge cage, the Son of Heaven, the imperial court, the forbidden army and the Huns are all packed inside, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and then cleaning up the mess at the critical moment, it is really ruthless.

If this is the case, then the family side will have to consider it seriously, Xingyang is close to Yuzhou.

Pei Chun had already sobered up, looked at Zheng Zun, and said, "Don't be cranky. Some things are completely a matter of taking one step at a time. ”

Zheng Zun nodded and said no more.

"Fujun, Shile is here." Someone hurriedly walked in and reported.

Pei Chun subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Zheng Zun's face also became solemn.

The second war of the Xiongnu's southern invasion of Luoyang, should it start from the Tiger Pass?
