Chapter 155 Duan Jiong's March
"How many are there?"

Zhang Huan asked.

Zhang Huan led his troops to station on the grassland between Wuwei and Beidi County. As early as when the enemy appeared around Shuofang County, he had already learned about the enemy from the local officials. The county was under martial law, the city gate was closed, and Zheng Xuan was ordered to bring all the cattle and sheep grazing on the grassland to the county seat, and no one was allowed to go out. Today, the leader of the Qiang people who herds and the Northland came to him and told him, They have met the enemy.

Hearing Zhang Huan's question, the leader of the Qiang people frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "There should be more than [-]! There are no walking entourages, and they are all elite cavalry. One man and three horses are really the most elite troops in Xianbei." , they ran, and the sound of horseshoes was like thunder, it was terrifying!" Zhang Huan squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, then looked at him again, and asked, "Are they attacking the north all the way? There is no looting land?"

"No, they didn't even look at us, they just passed by!"

Zhang Huan nodded, took a step forward, held the man's hand with a smile, and said, "Thank you for your news. I, Zhang Huan, appreciate this kindness." Zhang Huan was stunned for a moment, then took some money from the side and handed it to him. The Qiang man seemed to have caught the charcoal of the fire and slammed it. Throw it away, grit your teeth, and say:

"We have been protected by Mr. Zhang for a long time, and we came here this time because of money!"

"only."

This person hesitated for a moment, Zhang Huan said with a smile: "If you have anything, just talk about it." He looked at Zhang Huan, and then said with a little shame; "We want to move to other places to avoid disasters. So... those young people in the clan." Zhang Huan suddenly nodded. When he came, he brought mostly infantry from the infantry battalion. Of course, there were also a small number of soldiers from the Changshui battalion. Thousands of cavalry naturally cannot take on the role of guarding such a huge pasture.

Therefore, he recruited a lot of young people among the Qiang people who went to the Han Dynasty, thinking that they would cooperate with them for protection. Now, with tens of thousands of Xianbei troops coming, this leader seems unwilling to let his children die in battle. Under the sword of Xianbei, Zhang Huan is not angry, not angry, he just hired these people for his own use, and they have 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 all Call me Rizal!"

This Qieli Tuo is the most valiant warrior among the Qiang soldiers, and everyone is convinced, so Zhang Huan also used this person to command many Qiang soldiers. Walking in, he looked at the leader beside him, but first saluted Zhang Huan, then looked at the leader and saluted, and said, "Father!" This person is the son of the leader of the Qiang people.

"Qieli Tuo, something happened to your tribe, there is a small group of Xianbei bandits raging, I want to send you to lead the Qiang warriors back to help your tribe!" Zhang Huan said directly, Qie Li Tuo listened, nodded quickly, and said: "Yes!", he looked at the leader, and the leader sighed. He knew Zhang Huan's kindness, and paid respects to Zhang Huan, and then pulled Qieri away, and many Qiang warriors mounted their horses and flew quickly Headed towards the direction of the tribe.

Zhang Huan stood at the door of the tent, seeing them off with his eyes, Cherry turned his head away, and saw the smiling Zhang Huan waving at him from a distance, Cherie felt that something was wrong, but he was a little anxious because of the tribal affairs , Without thinking too much, he left with thousands of Qiang people, and the army Sima on the side sighed and said, "Why did you let them go in such an urgent battle?"

"Hahaha, without them, wouldn't we be the opponents of the Xianbei people?"

"Gather the troops, let's go to the Northland, and teach this little bastard a lesson!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Huan summoned a large army and ordered the infantry to stay behind and march into Wuwei to protect Zheng Xuan and other officials, farm cattle and other supplies. With them sitting in Wuwei, they would not be afraid of their surprise attack on Liangzhou. More than a thousand cavalry rushed to Beidi County! !
Under the galloping of scouts, Luo Yang and four days later, had already obtained Zhang Huan's performance. The little fat man looked at it seriously. The number of Xianbei tribes added together, and if the two Xianbei want to merge, they must get the consent of Tan Shihuai. Therefore, Xianbei should have a rear army, and it is very likely that the old thief Tan Shihuai will personally lead the army.

The vanguard troops sent out are more like bait. Zhang Huan suggested that Xianbei may have three conspiracies. First, they want to deceive themselves to the North and then seize Liangzhou. Second, they want to cut off the connection between Liangzhou and the Western Regions. Contact, and then march into the Western Regions, and third, they want to wipe themselves and the Northern Army in the North, and then plan other things. He feels that Xianbei is very likely to want to invade Liangzhou!

He needs the imperial court's assistance, please send Duan Jiong, but don't let Duan Jiong go directly to the Northland, Duan Jiong's best way is to detour from Hanoi to Shuofang, cover their back route, and keep the Xianbei army completely in Liangzhou. In addition to eliminating the serious troubles of this big man's confidant, in addition, he also ordered You Bingjun to harass the Xianbei rear. If possible, he could use the Xiongnu or Wuhuan's armed forces to destroy the Xianbei forces.

After reading this thick memorial, the little fat man was very touched. He did not convene a court meeting, nor did he tell too many people. He just called Duan Jiong over again and handed him Zhang Huan's memorial. Jiong read it every word very seriously, frowned, and said with some distress: "Xianbei has many cavalry, they can come and go freely, blocking the passage in Shuofang County, they can turn to escape from Wuwei."

"However, if I only take the cavalry, march in a hurry, wait for the right time, and then rush to attack, even if I can't completely wipe out Xianbei, I will definitely be seriously injured! Coupled with Dong Zhuozhi's plan. If it works, Xianbei will never be able to fight again for decades. The strength of a big man!", Duan Jiong frowned and said, the little fat man nodded, and said: "If that's the case, I will leave this matter to you!" Duan Jiong nodded, and was about to take orders to go out, the little fat man suddenly went out again said:
"In the past, the general sacrificed the people or food and grass for victory. I could bear it, but General Zhang cannot be a victim!"

Duan Yu was stunned for a moment, cupped his hands and said, "I will do my best to rescue General Zhang!"

Only then did the little fat man let him go with confidence. There were tens of thousands of cavalry under Duan Jiong's tent, including the Northern Army and the Southern Army. These were the most elite troops of the Han Dynasty. He took a lot of school lieutenant Sima for his own use, and in this way, this army became more elite, because the cavalry and the head of the army were all composed of warriors like Zhang Ji and Dian Wei.

And there are generals like Lu Zhi and Huangfusong in the middle class.

Of course, there is also the leader of the famous general Duan Jiong. After quietly gathering many cavalry, Duan Jiong quietly left Luoyang with the soldiers before the curfew was over. He wanted to use the fastest speed and the most secret way , descended from the sky, and brought these Xianbei a surprise. He had never fought Xianbei before, and he had fought many Qiang people before, and he had heard the name Tan Shihuai for a long time. This time, he was finally able to fight with this fellow. It's a fight!
