Zhang Huan led his troops to be stationed on the grasslands between Wuwei and Beidi counties. As early as when the enemy appeared around Shuofang County, he had already learned about the enemy from local officials. He immediately ordered all troops in Liangzhou to
The counties and counties were under martial law, the city gates were closed, and Zheng Xuan was ordered to bring all the cattle and sheep grazing on the grassland into the county. No one was allowed to go out. But today, a leader of the Qiang people from the herdsmen and the north came to see him and told him,
They met the enemy.
When the Qiang leader heard Zhang Huan's inquiry, he frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "There should be more than 20,000! There are no walking followers, they are all elite cavalry, one man and three horses. They are really the most elite troops in Xianbei.
, when they ran, the sound of horse hooves was like thunder, it was really terrifying!" Zhang Huan squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, then looked at him again, and asked: "Are they attacking all the way to the north? They didn't even rob them.
land?"
"No, they didn't even look at us, they just passed by!"
Zhang Huan nodded, stepped forward, held the man's hand with a smile, and said, "Thank you for your message. I, Zhang Huan, accept this kindness..." The leader of the Qiang people was originally black and red.
His face became even redder, he was hesitating and speechless. Zhang Huan was stunned for a moment, then took some money from the side and handed it into his hand. The Qiang man seemed to have caught the charcoal burned by the fire.
He threw it away violently, gritted his teeth, and said:
"We have been protected by Mr. Zhang for a long time. We came here just for money!"
"only...."
The man hesitated for a moment, then Zhang Huan said with a smile: "If you have any questions, just tell me..." He looked at Zhang Huan and then said with some shame, "We want to move to other places to avoid being affected by
Disaster, so...the young people in the clan..." Zhang Huan suddenly understood and nodded. When he came, he brought mostly infantrymen from the infantry battalion, and of course, a small number from the Changshui battalion.
There are less than two thousand soldiers in Changshui Camp, so naturally they cannot play the role of guarding such a huge pasture.
Therefore, he recruited many young people among the Qiang people who came to the Han Dynasty for the purpose of coordinating the protection. Now, tens of thousands of Xianbei troops are coming, and this leader seems to be unwilling to let his children die in battle.
Under Xianbei's sword, Zhang Huan was not angry or angry. He just hired these people for his own use. They had no obligation to accompany him to fight the enemy to the death. He smiled and said to the soldiers outside the door: "Go and kill them all."
Call me over here!"
This Qielizai was the most valiant warrior among the Qiang soldiers. Everyone admired him, so Zhang Huan used this person to command many Qiang soldiers. After a while, Qielizai, who was tall and powerful, strode forward.
He walked in, looked at the leader beside him, but first saluted Zhang Huan, then looked at the leader and saluted, and said: "Father!" This man was the son of the Qiang leader.
"Chelizuo, something happened to your tribe. A small group of Xianbei bandits are raging. I want to send you to lead the Qiang warriors back to help your tribe!" Zhang Huan said directly. Cherizuo heard this, nodded quickly and said:
"Yes!", he looked at the leader, who lamented. He knew Zhang Huan's kindness, and bowed to Zhang Huan heavily before pulling Cheri away. Many Qiang warriors mounted their horses and quickly rode away.
Rush towards the direction of the tribe.
Zhang Huan stood at the door of the camp and saw them off with his eyes. Cheri withdrew his head, and could still see a smiling Zhang Huan waving to him from a distance. Cheri withdrew and felt that something was wrong, but he was a little anxious because of the tribal affairs. , without thinking much, he left directly with thousands of Qiang people. The army commander beside him sighed and said, "Why did you let them go in such an important battle?"
"Hahaha, without them, wouldn't we be the opponents of the Xianbei people?"
"Assemble the troops, let's go to the Northland, and teach this little brat Yili Qiaochuan a lesson!"
"yes!"
Zhang Huan gathered a large army and ordered the infantry to stay behind and march towards Wuwei to protect Zheng Xuan and other officials, cattle and other supplies. With them stationed in Wuwei, there was no fear of them attacking Liangzhou by surprise. Zhang Huan also sent people to report to Luoyang. He led only two men More than a thousand cavalrymen rushed to Beidi County!!
As the scouts rushed forward, Luoyang and Four Days Later had already obtained Zhang Huan's memorial. The little fat man looked at it seriously. Zhang Huan mentioned that this was a large-scale invasion by Xianbei, because the enemy was at least two. The total number of Xianbei tribes combined, and if the two Xianbei tribes want to merge, they must get Tan Shihuai's permission. Therefore, Xianbei should have a rear army, and it is very likely that Tan Shihuai, an old thief, will lead the army himself.
The vanguard troops sent were more like bait. Zhang Huan proposed that Xianbei might have three conspiracies. First, they wanted to deceive themselves into going to the North and then seize Liangzhou. Second, they wanted to cut off the connection between Liangzhou and the Western Regions. Contact, and then march into the Western Regions. Thirdly, they want to eliminate themselves and the Northern Army in the North, and then turn to other plans. He feels that Xianbei most likely wants to invade Liangzhou!
He needs the help of the imperial court, please send Duan Jiong, but do not let Duan Jiong rush directly to the north. It is best for Duan Jiong to detour from Hanoi to Shuofang to cover their retreat, completely leaving the Xianbei army in Liangzhou, and will This big Han's henchman's big trouble has been eliminated. In addition, you and the border troops must be ordered to harass the Xianbei rear. If possible, the Xiongnu or Wuhuan armed forces can be used to eliminate the Xianbei forces.
After reading this thick memorial, the little fat man felt a lot. He did not convene a court meeting, nor did he tell too many people. He just called Duan Juan over again and handed him Zhang Huan's memorial. Duan Jiong was extremely serious. After reading word by word, he frowned and said with some distress: "There are many cavalrymen in Xianbei who can come and go freely, blocking the passage of Shuofang County. They can turn and escape from Wuwei..."
"However, if I only take the cavalry, march in a hurry, wait for the opportunity, and then attack in a hurry, even if I can't wipe out all the Xianbei, I will definitely be seriously injured! Coupled with Dong Zhuo's plan... If it comes to pass, Xianbei will be defeated for decades. I no longer have the power to fight against the big man!" Duan said with a frown. The little fat man nodded and said, "In this case, I will leave this matter to you!" Duan Ji nodded and took the order to go out. The fat man suddenly said again:
"In the past, I could tolerate the generals sacrificing the people or food and grass for the sake of victory, but General Zhang cannot be a victim!"
Duan Jiu was stunned for a moment, raised his hands and said: "I will do my best to rescue General Zhang!"
The little fat man then allowed him to leave with peace of mind. There were tens of thousands of cavalry under Duan Zhao's tent, including the Northern Army and the Southern Army. These were the most elite troops of the Han Dynasty. Duan Zhao did not bring other battalions with him, but he still mobilized He took many captains and Sima for his own use, and in this way, this army became more elite, because the cavalry and the commanders were all composed of warriors such as Zhang Ji and Dian Wei.
In the middle level, there are also generals like Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song.
Of course, there is also the famous general Duan Jue. After Duan Jue quietly gathered many cavalry, he quietly left Luoyang with his soldiers before the curfew ended. He wanted to do it as quickly as possible and in the most secretive way.
, fell from the sky and brought these Xianbei a surprise. He had never fought with Xianbei before, but he had fought with the Qiang people before. He had also heard the name Tan Shihuai for a long time. This time, he could finally fight with this guy.
