The heavens start from saving Daming

"The sky is blue, the wild is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep."

Li Yunze, who was on the horseback, looked at the vast grassland in front of him, "The wind is not small, and the grass is everywhere. But where are the cattle and sheep?"

Wuyao County is located at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, at the foot of the Great Wall.

Going out of the fortress from here, you will face the vast grassland directly after crossing Yinshan Mountain.

Li Yunze originally wanted to use the Xiongnu tribe here to sacrifice the flag, and even ordered the soldiers to wear armor.

But after leaving Yinshan Mountain, the scouts wandered around the prairie for a long time, not to mention the tribes, and they didn't even see the single herdsmen.

Facing Li Yunze's gaze, Chen Xin, an old comrade in arms who once fought side by side, the captain of the eastern part of Dingxiang County, immediately saluted and responded, "Your Majesty, this was not the case in the past. More than ten days ago, my subordinates even sent sentries to investigate. There is a tribe of thousands of tents stationed here."

"Ah."

Li Yunze's gaze swept across the faces of the captains of Dingxiang and Yanmen counties among the clouds, "In other words, someone leaked the news."

All the captains all had awe-inspiring expressions, and no one dared to speak too much.

If this is charged with the crime of adultery with the Huns, then the whole family will really go to the underworld together.

Fortunately, Li Yunze didn't take this opportunity to find a chicken to kill to establish his prestige.

No matter which world he is in, his prestige has never been established by killing his own people, but by killing enemies on the battlefield.

"There are skills in this city! I mean, is there any big tribe around here?"

"Your Majesty."

The one who was most familiar with the nearby terrain was of course Chen Xin, the captain of the eastern part of Dingxiang County. He clasped his fists again and saluted.

"Oh." Li Yunze looked a little melancholy, "Zhao Zhiyunzhong, Qin Zhiyunzhong."

Zhao Guo defeated Donghu and opened up thousands of miles.

Yunzhong County was once set up here.

After Qin State destroyed Zhao, Qin State's Yunzhong County was also set up outside the Great Wall.

In the Han Dynasty, the Huns were powerful, and basically all the land north of the Great Wall was lost, and even Yunzhong County was transferred to the south of the Great Wall.

"This is the homeland that our ancestors used their blood to open up." Another reason for Li Yunze's melancholy was that when Wang Zhaojun left the Great Wall a hundred years later, he was sent to Yunzhong County outside the Great Wall.

This Yunzhong County outside the Great Wall is also famous in later generations.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was the East Surrender City, one of the three surrender cities on the north bank of the Yellow River.

During the Liao and Jin Dynasties, this was Dongsheng Prefecture.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was Dongsheng County Wei and Yunnei County.

Later, the name here is Tuoketuo County, which belongs to Hohhot.

"Your Majesty." Seeing that Li Yunze was about to lead his troops to the west to fight, Gongsun Hong couldn't help but stepped forward and advised, "The order from the emperor is to meet the Huns who defected, if they go west."

Li Yunze turned his horse's head and headed west, leaving only a word for Gong Sunhong.

"The general will be outside, and the king's life will not be tolerated!"

After the Huns attacked Han last time, Wang Tingbei returned to Longcheng.

Those who stayed in the south to confront the Han army were the wise kings of left and right who were bounded by Yunzhong to the north.

And the royal courts of the left and right virtuous kings were also chasing water and grass at this time, returning north to their respective royal courts.

The closest to Li Yunze on the front line, and also the most powerful, were the two tribes of Huns.

One is the Ministry of Loufan King stationed in Henan, and the other is the Ministry of Baiyang King stationed in the north of Yunzhong and near Yinshan Mountain.

The Loufan tribe and the Baiyang tribe are not the orthodox Huns. They originally belonged to Beidi. They were the two tribes that were defeated and conquered by crossing the Yellow River after Maodun Shanyu defeated the Yuezhi.

The so-called Henan land does not refer to Henan with Luoyang as the center, but refers to the Hetao land south of the Yellow River.

At that time, Qin general Meng Tian led an army of 30 to defeat the Xiongnu and regained Henan. Lou Fan and Baiyang were also small tribes under the command of the Qin Dynasty.

Everyone knows what happened later. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos. The Great Wall Army went south to fight Xiang Yu in Julu, and the entire army was wiped out.

The land of Henan was seized by Maodun Shanyu, and Lou Fan and Aries naturally returned to the Xiongnu.

Lou Fan stayed in Henan and belonged to King Youxian.

The Baiyang Department was transferred to the vicinity of Yinshan Mountain in the north of Yunzhong, and belonged to King Zuoxian.

At this time, the royal court of the Aries Department is in Zhao Qin's old Yunzhong County!
King Aries is in a bad mood.

The last time he went south, the idiot Huxuburu, the leader under his command, scattered tens of thousands of warriors, as well as countless cattle, sheep and horses, in the Han area.

That tragic defeat caused the Aries Department to be said to be traumatized.

Although Suburu's head has been made into a wine cup, it is still difficult to counteract the anger in Aries King's heart.

The things that bothered him were not over yet. Recently, he learned that King Zuo Xian had several small tribes. Taking advantage of the opportunity of King Zuo Xian's return to the north, they suddenly defected and wanted to join the Han people.

Originally, they went to Youbeiping, Shanggu and other places.

But because of being chased, he had to go all the way west to enter the Great Wall from Dingxiang Yunzhong.

King Aries is here, and he has to send troops to attack.

Already suffering heavy losses, and having to go to war with troops, the Aries King is of course in a bad mood.

But there is no way, he is under the command of King Zuo Xian, if he does not fight against the traitor, then when King Zuo Xian's royal court returns, there will be no good fruit to eat.

King Aries had no choice but to summon all the nearby tribes and vassal tribes to the royal court.

Prepare to gather your forces to fight the defecting Horde.

However, when they were about to go to war with the traitors, another shocking thunder came.

"The Han army is here!"

Aries King's aggrievedness has really reached its peak!
If it weren't for the great loss of the tribe's strength, he would not have set up the royal court so close to the Great Wall.

If he hadn't wanted to fight traitors, he wouldn't have gathered the scattered tribes and vassal tribes.

Well now, the Han army appeared in the most suitable place at the most suitable time, and the Aries Department couldn't even escape.

If only Wang Ting was here, even if the Han army suddenly appeared, Aries King could send cavalry to harass and harass him, and then abandon part of the burden, and take Wang Ting to run along the Yin Mountain.

If the Han army is brave enough, then you can chase after them and see if they can drag you to death!

But it can't work now, the entire Aries Department and many vassal tribes are all concentrated near the royal court.

How to run in this situation?
Let the warriors abandon their families, cattle and sheep, and run away with themselves?On the way, he had to be hacked to death by the warriors!

And without the support of the tribe, without the old and weak women and children to do logistics, without the necessary supplies such as cattle and sheep to survive, even if the warriors ran away, so what? Could it be that Loufan and other tribes would give them their own supplies to enjoy?

The Xiongnu said it was an empire, but in essence it was still a tribal alliance.

All the tribes are self-sweeping, and no one will be a good person to help others.

Creatures like good people cannot survive on the prairie.

"Too deceiving!"

King Aries finally made a decision, "Gather your troops and fight with the Han people!"

He thinks he still has the strength to fight. After all, if he is forced to make a big move, that is, all men over the age of 14 and under 60 will be recruited into the army, and an army of nearly [-] cavalry can be mobilized.

At least in number more than the Han army.

The battlefield is like this, there will always be various uncertain things.

For example, Li Yunze did not go to meet the defecting Huns, but went west instead.

His original intention was to find a Hun tribe to fight, but he didn't expect that all the Aries King's forces would be concentrated here.

The reason why King Aries concentrated all his hands was to fight the traitors, but he did not expect the Han army to suddenly appear so close.

If you can't escape, you can only bite the bullet and fight.

What if we win.

This battle was the product of a collision of various chances and coincidences, and neither side was mentally prepared for a large-scale decisive battle.

There are more than [-] soldiers in the Han army, and tens of thousands of Tutuan peasants.

The Aries Department pulled out all the males here, almost [-] riders.

This is a big battle with nearly 7 people. In this era, it is undoubtedly a large-scale decisive battle, a decisive battle that determines the fate of the Aries Department.

As for the tens of thousands of corvee men brought by Zhidu, they were only responsible for the transportation from Zhongshan Kingdom to Dingxiang County, and did not follow them out of the fortress.

The initial encounter between the two sides was still the Xiongnu cavalry who came to harass them. This is their characteristic tactics against the Han army on the grassland.

If it wasn't too close, and there was a spacious river nearby, dead cattle and sheep would have to be thrown to pollute the water source or something.

After all, it is a war, and all means can be used to win.

Li Yunze's solution here is still the van.

Speaking of which, since Li Yunze invented the boxcar last time, it has been highly valued by the Han army. Almost all the Northland Great Wall Corps are building boxcars. It seems that Li Yunze can use the boxcar as soon as he is out of the fortress, and he does not have to slowly manufacture it.

There were van guards on both sides, soldiers at the front and back, and Li Yunze led the cavalry of the Chinese army and the local peasants who were transporting supplies in the middle of the car formation.

The cavalry in his hands naturally did not go out to chase and fight with the harassing cavalry of the Huns.

This cavalry is the ace, it is used to trap the cavalry, how could it be easily consumed in such a chase.

However, the experienced Li Yunze was keenly aware of the changes on the battlefield.

"Why are the forces and intensity of the Huns' raids so large?"

Li Yunze originally thought that in Zhao Qin's hometown of Yunzhong County, there were at most scattered tribes.

It can be seen that the size of the troops who attacked the Huns is obviously not the case.

He called Zhao Guang, the captain of the western part of Dingxiang County, "You take the cavalry to charge, and bring back some who can speak."

"Here!"

In addition to Li Yunze's own thousand fine cavalry, the frontier troops he recruited also had cavalry.

Zhao Guang led hundreds of cavalry, rushed out of the chariot formation, and went straight to a group of Xiongnu cavalry who had lost their vigilance because the Han army did not fight back.

Not only successfully defeated the cavalry, but also captured a centurion.

After the quick and effective interrogation, the overjoyed Zhao Guang hurried back to announce the good news.

"Your Majesty, the royal courts of the Aries Department, including their vassal tribes, are all in front of the old Yunzhong County of Qin and Zhao!"

"Hahahaha~~~"

Hearing this, Li Yunze looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "God help me too!"
