At noon, the soldiers who went to inquire about the news returned to the camp. After Zhang Liao inquired, he learned that Huchuquan did not lead his troops to retreat, but led his soldiers to kill Fufeng County. This news made Zhang Liao and Taishi
Ci, Huang Xu and Gan Ning were all shocked. They didn't expect that Huchuquan not only failed to retreat, but also advanced to attack Fufeng County.
Li Ru and Pang Tong had already had a premonition, and there were not many surprises.
Gan Ning looked indignant and said: "Huchuquan is so stubborn and wants to wreak havoc in Fufeng County. Humph, this time we must let Huchuquan die without a burial place. Don't kill Huchuquan."
, is not enough to vent the hatred in my heart." When Gan Ning thought that his attack on Cao Cao had failed, he felt extremely sad and angry, and wanted to crush Huchuquan to ashes.
Taishi Ci said: "Huchuquan led his army to Fufeng County, and they must have looted everywhere. In addition, the army under Huchuquan's command are all elite cavalry. Our army cannot catch up. If we forcefully pursue it, we will definitely be restrained everywhere.
This is what needs to be considered at the moment.”
Huang Xu also said bitterly: "Huchuquan is so hateful!"
Seeing that Li Ru and Pang Tong were silent, Zhang Liao immediately asked: "Mr. Li, Shi Yuan, what do you think?"
The two people looked calm, but they looked very calm, without any signs of panic.
Pang Tong was the first to say: "In fact, Huchuquan took the initiative to go to Fufeng County, which was easier to deal with. Huchuquan wanted to attract us to lead an army to pursue, so we surrounded Wei to rescue Zhao, sent troops to attack the Hetao area where Huchuquan was his hometown, and forced Huchuquan to
Return reinforcements. Even if Huchuquan guessed our intention, he did not dare to stay in Fufeng County and could only lead his troops to return reinforcements. If the Huns died, there would be one less. Huchuquan did not dare to compete with us.
Can come back."
Li Ru smiled and said: "Shi Yuan's words are reasonable. This is the strategy to defeat the enemy."
Zhang Liao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, let's stage a good show of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao, forcing Huchuquan to return reinforcements."
…
After Huchuquan left Niyang County with more than 30,000 fine riders, he went straight to Fufeng County. However, Huchuquan sent people to pay attention to the movements of the Shu army. According to Fang Ming's plan, the Shu army must be mobilized to let
Only the Shu army's relentless pursuit can drag the Shu army to exhaustion, and then they can attack the Shu army by surprise and win in a single battle.
Therefore, Huchuquan was very concerned about the movements of the Shu army, and even dreamed of the Shu army catching up.
In the evening, it started to rain lightly.
The army stopped to rest, set up tents, build fortifications, etc.
In the big tent, Huchuquan was waiting anxiously, expecting news from the scouts. Fang Ming was sitting aside, also uneasy, with an expression on his face that was both expectation and fear. He followed Huchuquan south, and none of his strategies led to victory.
All of them were destroyed by the Shu army, which made Fang Ming a little afraid of the Shu army.
He knew that the Shu army's counselors were very powerful, so he was very worried, fearing that his plan would be discovered.
Huchuquan and Fang Ming sat quietly, neither of them spoke.
"Report!"
Outside the camp, there was suddenly a loud shout.
Hu Chuquan perked up, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and shouted: "Come in!"
At this moment, Huchuquan was like a child waiting for candy, full of expectations. It seemed that he had returned to the time when he inherited the position of the Great Chanyu, full of anxiety and endless expectations. Huchuquan glanced at Fang Ming,
Seeing Fang Ming's tense face, he suddenly relaxed. He looked at the scout who walked in, and saw that the scout's expression was urgent, and he felt something bad in his heart.
Fang Ming watched his words and expressions, and became even more nervous. Fang Ming even heard the pounding of his heartbeat.
Hu Chuquan asked: "Where are the Shu troops?"
The scout loudly replied: "Reporting to the Great Chanyu, the Shu army did not pursue them, but led the army to the north and left Niyang County. Up to now, the purpose of the Shu army has not been determined, but it is possible
He is running towards the Loop."
"ah!!"
Fang Ming exclaimed and said: "Da Shanyu, the Shu army must be heading towards the Hetao!"
Hu Chuquan was also shocked and sat there stupidly.
Knowing that he could not get any useful information if he continued to ask, he asked the scout to retreat, then looked at Fang Ming and asked: "Fang Ming, are you sure that the Shu army really went to Hetao to attack?
Our hinterland?”
Fang Ming nodded and said: "Da Shanyu, we want to attract the Shu army, but now we are restrained by the Shu army. The Shu army sent its troops north to attack Hetao. This is a trap, waiting for the Shanyu to send his troops to rescue. If
If we catch up, we will definitely encounter the Shu army. If we don't catch up, the Shu army will march straight into the tribe and slaughter them wantonly. This is an upright conspiracy!"
After the words fell, Fang Ming's body collapsed, feeling extremely helpless.
All plans seemed so weak.
Hu Chuquan took a deep breath, with a cold and stern look in his eyes.
He looked stern and said in a deep voice: "The Shu army wants to destroy my homeland, so I naturally can't escape. They want me to go back, so I will lead my army back. How can I still be afraid of the attack of more than 30,000 fine cavalry?"
We can't defeat the Shu army." The ferocity in Huchuquan's bones burst out, and he became ruthless, not afraid of the Shu army at all.
He looked at Fang Ming who said nothing, snorted coldly, got up and walked out of the tent.
It was already evening, and it would be dark soon, so it was impossible to hurry. Huchuquan took advantage of the rest of the army to pass on the news and tell the Xiongnu warriors to rise up and fight and fight tooth and nail to protect their homeland.
Hu Chuquan encouraged the soldiers and stirred up the atmosphere.
Early the next morning, Huchuquan led his army north towards Niyang County. After passing Niyang County, he began to go north along the road of the Shu army, hoping to return to Hetao before the Shu army. At this time, Huchuquan
Quan was already prepared to fight the Shu army and fight to the death, but if he could avoid the Shu army, Huchuquan also wanted to avoid it.
When the army was on its way, Huchuquan sent scouts to inquire about the news and determine the location of the Shu army.
At the same time, Huchuquan sent scouts to explore other roads, hoping to avoid the Shu army and return to the grassland first.
As long as they are on the grassland, the Shu army will lose its prestige.
Unfortunately, all hopes for Huchuquan have been blocked. Some mountain trails are blocked by heavy snow, and the mountains are covered with snow. There is no chance of crossing. If Huchuquan wants to cross, it means that all soldiers must hold their horses.
Rushing, the speed is too slow, it is simply unrealistic. The only way before Huchuquan is to meet the Shu army.
In a battle with the Shu army, this was a choice Huchuquan had to face.
At this time, Hu Chuquan once again thought of Fang Ming's strategy of getting along, mobilizing the Shu army, and then taking the opportunity to attack. Unfortunately, he was now the passive party, and the Shu army took the initiative to attack.
"Report!!"
The scout who was inquiring about the news came to Huchuquan and bowed in salute.
Hu Chuquan asked: "How is the situation?"
The scout replied: "Reporting to the Great Chanyu, the location of the Shu army has been discovered. The Shu army is currently resting thirty miles ahead. The general estimated that the Shu army has learned about the return of our army and deliberately
Our troops are waiting in front."
Hu Chuquan said: "Since the Shu army is blocking the way, we have no choice but to fight. Send the order and advance immediately."
"promise!"
The scout responded with clasped fists and immediately went to convey Huchuquan's order. Not long after, Huchuquan led more than 30,000 elite cavalry and set off towards the Shu army's position.
