What Gao Shun asked was exactly what Liu Bei was thinking. He suppressed his smile and answered after thinking for a moment: "Although our army is victorious now, the strength and weakness of our army has not changed. If we were stationed in Qixian County, we would be besieged by the barbarians in vain. It's just that.
Nowadays, the Hu army is unprecedentedly large and the enemy's rear is still empty. If our army wants to establish a victory and defeat the strong with the weak, we must use surprising tactics and dangerous moves."
Lu Bu thought so, threw down his halberd and climbed up, agreeing and saying: "That's right. The reason why I, a big man, was able to win two victories in front of Hu Jun was because of my clever strategy. I dare to ask Brother Xuande, what's the strategy?"
Will An come out?"
Liu Bei then sat cross-legged on the ground and drew the terrain of Taiyuan with his sword. Taiyuan County is half mountainous and half basin, and the whole is shaped like a lotus root. It is separated from Shangdang County to the east by the Taihang Mountains, and from Xihe County by the Luliang Mountains. It is difficult for the army to
It passes suddenly. The mountains at the north and south ends tighten, forming a narrow small plain on each side, connecting Hedong and Yanmen counties respectively.
Liu Bei marked three circles in the southern part of the terrain and said: "Now our army forms a triangle with Yang Hui's tribe and Hulu tribe, with Zhaoyu Daze in the middle. Yang Hui's back is on the Xihe River, and our army's back is on Shangdang.
Even though the Hu barbarians are outnumbered and powerful, after the great battle just now, the barbarians will never divide their forces and attack together. They will definitely annihilate one group first, and then encircle and kill the other group."
After Zhang Fei helped Guan Yu bandage up, he watched from the side. He frowned and said: "Now that our army has gone through this battle, we have tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are also many wounded. We can no longer fight with the barbarians in the field. We only guard five counties, and our troops are stretched thin."
.In my brother’s opinion, our army should retreat to Yangtou Mountain, and when the barbarians reoccupy it, we can repeat our old tactics and then attack their flanks?”
"It's easy to talk about military strength." Liu Bei was also worried about military strength at first, but just now he had an idea and already had a strategy in mind. He rejected Zhang Fei's opinion, held the sword hilt upside down, sheathed the sword, and said with a smile: "I
We know where the reinforcements are."
But he did not talk about reinforcements for now, but he told the whole story: "I predict that the Hu people will attack Yang Hui's tribe first. Although our troops have conquered five counties now, they cannot advance forward and cannot defend themselves when retreating. If our army withdraws from the five counties,
Hu people can't actively join the party, it will be in vain.
But now Ting Jian leads 40,000 troops to advance to Shangjun. The Xiongnu must be very anxious and want to attack Xihe and fight to the death with Ting Jian. Therefore, the Zi family has no choice but to pull out. However, Yang Hui's troops can only be 5,000, and the Zi family is not strong enough to fight in a small town.
The kings of the barbarians are far inferior to us, so why should we sacrifice the near for the far, and start with the difficult and then the easy?
Therefore, our army must attack what the enemy must rescue! We can force the Hulu to abandon the Zi family. Even if we are disadvantaged in the battle, we only need to insist on reaching Tingjian and defeat Shangjun and return, and everything will be settled!"
These words were well-organized, but they also contained great wisdom and courage. Lu Bu's blood boiled when he heard them, and he asked: "Where is the one who must be saved?"
Liu Bei threw the scabbard out, right above the Oujie map. Everyone was speechless and their hearts were filled with excitement.
Jinyang City.
"Jinyang City was attacked?" Dajiequ heard the report and did not hesitate at all. He immediately reported it to Xubu Shanyu and notified the kings to come to discuss the matter.
At this time, the Xiongnu army had just completed its reorganization in Pingtao City and was about to regroup to attack Zishi. The new Shanyu Xubu Cheyouben, who was recommended by everyone, was in the front army to comfort the warriors. Unexpectedly, he received such news and immediately ordered the entire army to retreat.
He obeyed the order and returned to the Central Army to discuss matters as soon as possible.
When he left Xihe in February, except for his puppet Chanyu, there were only two Guduhous, Dugu Sukelan and Qu Zhiyasi, in the tent. Unexpectedly, to this day, except for Yu Fuluo, the "original prince"
In addition to "King Zuo Xian", all the original six-cornered kings of the Xiongnu have surrendered, and the Shanyu himself has finally lived up to his name.
But Shanyu Xubu was walking on thin ice. As a Shanyu, if he was defeated, others might still survive, but as the first culprit of this rebellion, he would never have a good ending. For this reason, he worked hard and accepted advice.
, he behaves completely like a heroic shanyu who can determine the fate of the grassland, but like a small householder who is as meticulous about everything as small as the setting up of the front camp sentry post.
Xubu Shanyu carefully asked the envoy sent from Jinyang when Jinyang City was attacked, how many enemy troops there were, and how long the defenders could hold out.
The envoy answered one by one: The day before Jinyang City, Han troops suddenly appeared ten miles away. The Han troops were flying the flying tiger flag with a cloud pattern and the crimson flag of "falling into camp". The enemy army numbered 40,000, but the Xiongnu defenders in the city were no more than 40,000 strong.
Six thousand, all the people in the city have been driven away, and there are enough grain, grass, bows and arrows. However, Jinyang is the largest city in Bingzhou, so the six thousand defenders cannot hold on for a long time, and the Han army fights bravely. Even if the defenders try their best, they can't do anything.
Can last for seven days.
Dugu Liwei was in the meeting room at this time. He fled to Pingtao four days ago and was recognized by Xubu Shanyu as the new Dugu Guduhou. When he heard this, he couldn't help being surprised and asked: "What should I do?"
It's the troops of Liu Bei and Lu Bu. When they fought with our troops five days ago, their numbers were only over 10,000. How can we have 40,000 in the past few days? Could it be that you have fallen into a trap of suspicion."
The envoy replied: "It is about our lives, how can we not check repeatedly? We observed the tribes outside the city, and there is no doubt that there are 40,000. It's just that some of the Han people wear leather armor, some wear burlap, and those wearing dog skin must be
There are about 10,000 Han soldiers in the counties, and about 30,000 in hemp and straw sandals. The fighting style is the same. According to King Huyan's wishes, these should all be Han people from Montenegro."
Heishan Han people, all the kings present suddenly realized after hearing this, and they couldn't help but feel a few dark clouds in their hearts. Heishan Han people refer to the Black Mountain bandits under Zhang Yan. Now Zhang Yan has been recruited by the emperor and is independent of Hebei. He has merged with the two states and supported six people.
There are more than 100,000 people, and there are more than 200,000 people who can fight. If Zhang Yan falls to the court, the overall situation of merging the states has been decided, and the Huns rebels have no hope of winning even if they fight to the last man.
Empress Helianchi said anxiously: "If the Han people from Montenegro attack our army in the east, and Chen Tingjian plunders Shangjun in the west, where will our army have any health? Shanyu, what is happening now is that we should abandon the Zi family and go around Fenyang."
Attack the bend of the river, recapture the beautiful crops, guard them along the river, and then ask the court to surrender. The Han Dynasty has no more troops to send, so it will definitely agree, so that we can make long-term plans."

Both Xubu Shanyu and King Xiutu didn't say a word, and their expressions were gloomy and uncertain. Now the Han Dynasty can force the rebels to surrender without sending a large army. Once the army is mobilized, without the dangers of the mountains and rivers in Taiyuan, how can it be accomplished by relying on the river alone? I'm afraid.
The best outcome is to flee beyond the Great Wall and become a slave of Xianbei Man.
At this time, Huchuquan stepped forward. He was the second son of Qiangqu Shanyu, and he was originally the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu. During the Great Change of Meiji, he was stationed at Yanmen to guard against Xianbei. Logically, he should have avenged his father, but he had
He was friendly with Xubu Cheyou, but also at odds with his elder brother Yufuluo. Xubu Chanyu named him Queen Zuoxian, and he led 70,000 Yanmen troops to join the rebels. He can be said to be the first pillar of Xubu Chanyu today.
.
He analyzed the kings and said: "I have been guarding Yanmen for several years and have been in contact with Zhang Yan in Montenegro. In my opinion, Zhang Yan is by no means loyal to the court, but is greedy for profit and power. Moreover, he is a remnant of the Yellow Turban Party.
The imperial court of the Han Dynasty granted Zhang Yan the title of Zhonglang General because he could not lose his tail. Privately, he still regarded Zhang Yan as his enemy.
Zhang Yan also knew this very well. If he made up his mind to be loyal to the imperial court, could we attack the Zi family? If we were destroyed, he would be the next one to be wiped out by the imperial court. He would never make such a self-destruction
Due to his short-witted actions, I concluded that his commander, Qu Shuai, had accepted bribes from the Han army, so he attacked Jinyang with the Han army.
It’s just that the Han army is poor now. How can it be more fertile than the Huns who have lived for decades? I heard that King Xiutu rectified the beautiful crops and received tens of thousands of gold. If he could give it to the Han people in Montenegro and advance and retreat with Zhang Yan, then Jinyang would be surrounded
It can be solved, Shanyu's predicament can be escaped, and there is nothing to worry about if you go to the county of Chen Chong!"
Xubu Chanyu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and all the kings were also sincerely convinced. He turned to ask King Xiutu Huliba: "Huliba, do you still have the beautiful rice and ten thousand gold?"
Huliba tried his best to smile and replied: "I am willing to offer this ten thousand gold for the Shanyu."
After the meeting that day, Hu Chuquan led dozens of people to rush to Yangqu for several days. In order to rescue Jinyang City, the Xiongnu army also changed direction, abandoned Zishi City, which was just around the corner, and quickly marched towards Jinyang City. p>
Even after the defeat of Qixian County, the Xiongnu army lost more than 10,000 people, but they were still an unstoppable behemoth to the people in Taiyuan County. Wherever the Xiongnu passed before, they drove out all the people in the city, and the people outside the city robbed and killed them.
, insulting women, taking property by force, almost all the houses are empty.
Now the army returns the same way and repeats what it did before. From the wealthy families in Taiyuan to the poor people, the grain and wheat accumulated in their homes are so pure that no grains remain.
Many Han people originally hoped that the Xiongnu would leave soon after their plunder, and the wheat seeds they had hidden might be able to make up for spring plowing. Unexpectedly, the Xiongnu completely lost their way of survival, and people began to starve to death along the road. The Yellow Turban Rebellion five years ago
, the Han people in Taiyuan escaped a disaster, but five years later, they finally made up for this lesson.
But for Liu Bei, he couldn't bear to feel sad about these. In any case, he never thought that the battle of Jinyang would be so difficult. It didn't even need the main force of the Xiongnu to suppress the situation, and the support offensive had already reached its limit.
On the ninth day of April in the fifth year of Zhongping, the Huns' 130,000-strong army rescued Zishi, and Liu Bei sent troops to Jinyang.
