Huyandalan, the Chanyu of the Huns, listened to what the two said, thought for a moment and decided to support Qiu Linjian's suggestion. After all, the Huns are wild and free at heart.
If they give in to the aggressive China, then after the Chinese stabilize the Western Region, they will not be able to escape the fate of being attacked.
If you don't take the initiative to start a war now, you will be unable to defeat the opponent if you passively resist later.
"Chanyu."
When Akannawi heard that Huyandalan wanted the cavalry to go south to attack the Chinese cavalry, he saluted him directly, his eyes full of worry.
"Okay, since you don't support going south, then stay with the tribe. I will give you five thousand cavalry and gather all the tribesmen. If we win, there will be nothing to say. If we are defeated and defeated by China, you will immediately lead the entire tribe.
The tribe left and fled north and west to a place where there were no Chinese people to recuperate."
Since Akanawi did not support his move south to fight against China, Huyandalan had nothing to say. He directly gave Akanawi 5,000 cavalry and asked him to stay in the tribe. At the same time, he gathered the tribe members and prepared to evacuate here at any time.
"Arkanaway obeys."
Hearing what Huyandalan said, Akanaway had nothing to say and could only clasp his fists and accept the order. He was also afraid of causing trouble for the Huns when he went south, so he could only wait here and escape north at any time.
Soon the 40,000 Xiongnu elite cavalry were assembled, and then Huyandalan led the dismounting division south to prepare for a sneak attack on the Chinese cavalry.
The Che Division Kingdom has a total of 15,000 soldiers and horses, including 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, plus 5,000 Huns cavalry, stationed in the front and rear Che Division Headquarters.
Now facing Zhao Yun's 40,000 cavalry in the south, they could only abandon their people and territory, and gather all their soldiers at the rear of the chariot division, so as to gather strength and wait for the arrival of Xiongnu reinforcements.
"Yuan Hao, do you think the Xiongnu will give up control of the Cheshi Kingdom?"
Yuan Shu glanced at Tian Feng in front of him. Now Yuan Shu led his troops to attack the chariot division. Although they had 80,000 cavalry, the chariot division could only have 20,000 troops and horses.
But if the Huns are really unwilling to control the Western Region, they will definitely send troops. If Zhao Yun is not careful, he may be attacked by the enemy.
"Your Majesty, what would you do now if you were a Xiongnu Chanyu?
At this time, only our vanguard was discovered, and tens of thousands of cavalry were really not many.
If the Xiongnu Chanyu really wants to give up their vested interests in the Western Regions, then they may stop fighting and make peace, but as time goes by, they will no longer have a foothold in the Western Regions.
If they don’t want to give up the current Western Region, they will definitely send all their troops southward, there is no doubt about this.”
Tian Feng glanced at Yuan Shu. He believed that the other party could not fail to see this. The reason why he asked him was just to see what he thought of the Xiongnu.
"Well, the Xiongnu are the eagles of the grassland. They always believe in attacking first and will never surrender to themselves unless they have to. The war has just begun and the enemy will definitely not let it go, so they will definitely send troops south, and we have to do
The only thing is to beat the Xiongnu so thoroughly that it will be difficult for them to stand up."
Yuan Shu nodded. Tian Feng was right. Just as he thought, the other party would never give up on the Western Regions easily, and he was also afraid that the Huns would jump out and cause trouble when he conquered Kushan.
These are destined to determine that even if the Huns want to avoid them now, they will never let them go. China and the Huns must fight to solve the problem.
"Your Majesty, do you want to take advantage of the chariot-division battle to send cavalry to sneak attack on the Xiongnu tribe?"
Tian Feng now also understood what Yuan Shu meant. The Huns had been causing trouble to China for a long time. Although the Han Dynasty finally defeated the Huns into pieces after several conquests, the Southern Huns had been dismembered by China and scattered throughout the country.
If we can capture the Northern Xiongnu now, then the Xiongnu ethnic group will be annihilated in history.
"Well, that's what I thought. I immediately ordered Yan Liang to lead 50,000 cavalry and 2,000 camel soldiers from the Pulei Kingdom. With the Pulei Kingdom's cavalry as the forerunner, it will certainly not be difficult to find the Huns' garrison.
Just take advantage of the time when they send troops to go south to wipe out their tribe and eliminate this century-old enemy for China."
Yuan Shu nodded and directly ordered Yan Liang to command the newly formed 50,000 cavalry, and under the guidance of the 2,000 camel cavalry from Pulei Kingdom, go north to attack the Huns tribe.
"promise."
Soon Yan Liang commanded 50,000 cavalry, and under the guidance of the camel soldiers from the Pulei Kingdom, they left Yihe Duwei City and galloped north towards the Xiongnu tribe.
After the cavalry left, Yuan Shu's army remained the same, marching in the direction of the chariot division in a leisurely manner, and the road built behind them was also extending all the time. I believe it won't be long before they can keep up with Yuan Shu's march.
As time passed day by day, Zhao Yun's army rampaged across the front of Che Division, first attacking Xuji Xiaowei City, then Liuzhong, and Gaochangbi. These three places were strategically important places in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and now they have returned to the embrace of China.
After taking this place, Zhao Yun went straight to Jiaohe City in front of Che Shi without stopping. It was the royal family of Che Shi and the ruling center of Che Shi. As long as he captured it, Che Shi's Front would return to the embrace of China.
.
Forty thousand cavalry broke through the yellow sand in the sky and rushed towards Jiaohe City. When Zhao Yun reached Jiaohe City, he found that all the soldiers originally stationed there had evacuated, leaving only the people in the city shivering under the iron hooves of Zhao Yun's cavalry.
Zhao Yun rode out and came under the Jiaohe city wall.
"I am General Yingyang of the Chinese Empire, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong. I am here with a large army. If you know what I am doing, I will open the city and surrender immediately. Otherwise, once our army attacks the city, you will be responsible for the consequences."
Zhao Yun waved his gun and pointed at the city wall, shouting at the people on the wall.
"General Tianwei, if we surrender the city now, can we ensure the safety of the people in the city?"
Hearing that Zhao Yun is the general of China, although they don't know who China is, facing so many soldiers and horses, they have no ability to resist.
The only thing that can be done now is to hope that the enemy can ensure the safety of the people in the city.
"As long as you open the city and surrender, I will guarantee your safety."
Zhao Yun glanced at the other party. What he wanted to do was not to kill, but to occupy. Therefore, if the other party could open the city and surrender, he would not kill indiscriminately.
"Open the city gate."
Since Zhao Yun had given his assurance, the people on the city wall had nothing to say and directly ordered the city gates to be opened and Zhao Yun's cavalry allowed to enter the city.
Without any effort, Jiaohe City, the capital of the former Cheshi Kingdom, returned to the hands of the Chinese Empire again.
"Who's in charge here now?"
Zhao Yun glanced at the crowd kneeling in front of him, not knowing who was the adult and who was the citizen. Cheshiqian Country used to be an important ruling place of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so the people were highly sinicized and many people were proficient in Chinese.
"This is Alan Shanda, a famous wise man in Jiaohe City. Now all the dignitaries and soldiers in Jiaohe City have gone north to the Wutu Valley in the back. We all listen to the wise man here."
Since Zhao Yun wanted to find the person in charge, everyone turned their attention to the middle-aged man in the middle. Zhao Yun also knew this man. He was the person who spoke to him on the city wall.
"Alan Shanda pays homage to General Tianwei."
Alan Shanda knew that Zhao Yun was looking at him, so he put his face directly on the ground and gave him the most noble gift.
"Okay, you are Alan Shanda. Now, on behalf of the Chinese Empire, I will appoint you as the leader of the Cheshi Kingdom and lead the Cheshi Kingdom. Are you willing?"
Zhao Yun nodded to him. Now that Alan Shanda did not follow the people in front of Cheshi to Wutu Valley, it means that the other party is either an outcast in Cheshi's country, or an opposition to the other party's rule. If
If this is the case, this person can become his spokesperson in the car division.
"Alan Shanda is willing to lead the Cheshi Kingdom to defect to the Chinese Empire and obey the orders of the Chinese Empire."
Alan Shanda was also excited when he heard Zhao Yun's words. The reason why he did not follow Che Shihou's people northward was to wait for this opportunity.
He longed for the Han Dynasty, admired the culture of the Han Dynasty, and despised the Cheshi Hou Kingdom that had been transformed into Huns. Therefore, when the Che Shih Front Kingdom was occupied by the Che Shih Hou Kingdom, he was also very opposed to their recruitment.
Claiming to be ill,
Now that the Chinese cavalry came, he jumped out immediately, in order to allow the cavalrymen to return to the Chinese army and once again be stained with the glory of the Han Dynasty.
"Okay, you immediately recruit some guides who know the way and lead us north to Wutu Valley to prepare for a decisive battle with the opponent. It is time to end the split of the Cheshi Kingdom into two."
Zhao Yun nodded. Alan Shanda has a high prestige among the remaining people. Now he is appointed as the leader of the Che Shi Kingdom to appease the people in the front of the Che Shi. After he takes over the Che Shi rear kingdom, he can control the entire Che Shi.
The divisions and the country are unified, and this place will become one of China's important nodes in the Western Region.
"No, I will gather my troops immediately and follow General Tianwei to the north."
After hearing Zhao Yun's order, Alan Shanda also directly clasped his fists and saluted.
"Well, go ahead. Soldiers are valuable and hurry up. You only have half a day at most to assemble the troops?"
"As commanded."
After appeasing the people, Zhao Yun returned directly to the cavalry. After half a day, he saw Alan Shanda organized a two thousand camel cavalry. This surprised Zhao Yun. It seemed that Alan Shanda was really a
A capable person.
"Alan Shanda pays homage to General Tianwei."
Alan Shanda directly knelt down and saluted Zhao Yun.
"Get up, you organized so many troops in half a day?"
Zhao Yun motioned for Alan Shanda to stand up, and then asked about the origin of the soldiers and horses in front of him.
"These are people who love China. We have been in contact with each other privately for a long time. As long as the glory of China shines on the driver again, he will definitely rise up and let the driver return to the embrace of China."
When Zhao Yun asked about the situation of these soldiers and horses, Alan Shanda also spoke frankly and told the origin of the soldiers and horses.
"I didn't expect that there are so many people in Cheshi Country who want to support China. It is really a blessing for Cheshi and China. I won't say so much, let's go."
Regardless of whether what Alan Shanda said is true or false, the current camel cavalry is truly sincere. Although it is just a drop in the bucket for him, it doesn't matter, as long as he has the intention.
"Set off."
Zhao Yun led 40,000 cavalry and 2,000 charioteers and camel cavalry, marching northward on the long yellow sand toward the Wutu Valley.
"How about it?
Have you found any trace of the Huns?"
Yan Xing frowned and looked at the captain beside him, his eyes full of anxiety.
Yuan Shu had already sent a telegram to Zhao Yun and Yan Xing, informing them that the Huns might send troops southward, and also told them the news that Yan Liang led 50,000 cavalry to go north to the Xiongnu tribe.
Therefore, after receiving the telegram, Yan Xing suspended the assault on the rear of the chariot division, and instead led his troops to bypass Wutu Valley and Xubuhou City, and ambush at the foot of Brumha Mountain outside Xubuhou City.
.
Now that Yan Liang has led 50,000 cavalry to the north to attack the Xiongnu tribe, their mission now has changed from sniping to blocking. The main task of this group is not only to encircle the enemy with Zhao Yun, but also to prevent the enemy from going north to support the tribe.
In this way, after Yan Liang takes over the Xiongnu tribe, their main force going south will become rootless duckweeds and be slaughtered by him.
"Still not, General, do you think it's possible that the other party did not take the eastern passage, but chose to bypass the basin from the east to support Wutu Valley?"
The captain shook his head. He had no news about the other party so far, and he had no choice. Moreover, there was another possibility, that is, the other party did not go east to south, but detoured from the west. In this case, he would have to wait here.
, it is simply impossible to find traces of the other party.
"It's impossible. Crossing the desert through the gap here in Wubuhou City is the best choice for the Huns. Moreover, I have also asked the guides of Pulei Kingdom. Every time the Huns go south, this is where they go. They will definitely not do it after the war.
Apart from taking a detour, this will do no good to the Huns except delaying time."
Yan Xing shook his head. His role now was to wait for the opponent to cross Wubuhou City and head to Wutu Valley to immediately occupy this place and cut off the Huns' passage back north. How could he not be worried?
"General, there is a discovery, there is a discovery."
