Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 646 The Choice of the Huns
From north to south, Bingzhou has jurisdiction over six counties: Yanmen, Xinxing, Taiyuan, Leping, Xihe, and Shangdang, and the county seat is located in Taiyuan.The Yanmen County Government was located in the Yin Pavilion of the Great Wall. The prefect Guo Yan, the father of Guo Huai, had about [-] people under his command, but the northwest fortress of Mayi and the northeast fortress of Yangtun had [-] people.Cao Zhang, former general of Beizhong Lang, guarded here. After Cao Zhang defeated the Tuoba tribe, the Tuoba tribe asked for peace, and Cao Zhang returned to Taiyuan, leaving Guo Yu to stay here.

When Qu'a dispatched troops, Zhang Bei immediately sent someone to report to Xu Shu, the governor of the Northern Army. Xu Shu led Chen Dao, Wang Ji, and Han Long to lead an army of [-] from Shexian County to Huguan from the west as planned. Liu Zhi supervised the transportation of grain and grass.

On the ninth day of October in the 21st year of Jian'an, Cao Zhang heard that Xu Shu had come to attack Huguan, and immediately led 2 people to rescue him.Inspector Liang Xi and Governor Tian Yu were baffled by Xu Shu's sudden dispatch of troops. They suspected that Xu Shu had other plans. They asked Pingbei General Zhang Yan to strictly guard all the trails in Taihang to guard against the Han army's sneak attack.

On October 21th of the [-]st year of Jian'an, Qu'a's soldiers passed Shanyin.Fen Boba and Pei Feng each led a thousand men to raid Mayi and Juyang, while Duanmuling and himself led the army to directly attack the Yin Hall.

The gods fell from the sky, and Mayi and Cao Jun in Juyang were defeated in a battle. Bo Ba and Pei Feng immediately went south to join the Yin Hall. Seeing that the situation was not good, the guard Guo Yan withdrew from the Yin Hall and rushed to Dai County. He sent someone to ask Liang Xi for help. , reported to Xinxing guard Zhang Yan, and Qu'a successfully crossed the Great Wall.

Guo Yan fled to Dai County, and asked for help from Liu Bao, the wise king of the Xiongnu who was stationed in Pingcheng. Unexpectedly, Liu Bao, who had hated Cao Cao for a long time, not only failed to save him, but sent troops to attack Guo Yan. county.Qu'a galloped all the way, and took Yanmen County, the northern gateway of Bingzhou, in only five days.

Liu Bao, the virtuous king of Zuo, consciously made a great contribution and attracted [-] people to see Qu'a, but was taken aback by Qu'a's appearance. Why is he so like the man in the legend?

Qu A did not intend to pay attention to Liu Bao, but after entering Xinxing County, he had to change his strategy: a large number of Huns were scattered in various places. The power of underestimating.

"King Zuoxian can abandon darkness and turn to light, Duke Liao will definitely reward him generously."

"General Qu's words are serious. I just ask the old troops to restore my homeland. This wish is enough." Liu Bao got along with the Han people for a long time, and learned a lot of literacy.

Qu A would easily agree to this request. "King Zuoxian's long-cherished request will be reported to Lord Liao. But at this time, the battle is still undecided and Cao's army has not been eliminated. Defeating the enemy should be the first priority."

Liu Bao's eyes were fixed, and he was stunned, but what Qu'a said was correct, he couldn't decide this matter and needed to ask Zhou Cang for instructions, the battle was not over yet, so it was too early to say anything.Liu Bao smiled shyly, changed the subject and said, "The general's painted halberd looks very familiar, I don't know where it came from?"

"Huh?" Qu A shook a halberd flower. "This is left by my father-in-law."

"May I ask General Yue-zhang?"

"Wuyuan Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian!"

Liu Bao was stunned again. Lu Bu's name, Huns, was too familiar.It's over, Lu Bu was born in Wuyuan and grew up in Dingxiang. His son-in-law has come home, so it is impossible to give this area to himself.Liu Bao was extremely remorseful, he was too impulsive, and he sent troops easily without inquiring clearly, thinking that he took the opportunity to ask for the chassis to be assigned to him, which seemed unsatisfactory, what should we do?Alas, let's take a step at a time.

"It turns out he is the son-in-law of General Fengxian, no wonder the general is so brave."

"Hehe. I want to go south to get Dingxiang. I don't know if Zuo Xianwang will go with me or stay here?" Qu'a asked Liu Bao with a smile.

"This?" Liu Bao felt that Qu'a was smiling, but there was a sharp knife hidden in his eyes. "There are a lot of people in Dingxiang, and I would like to go south with the general."

"Haha, good!" Qu'a raised his halberd. "Let's go! Go to Dingxiang."

Liu Bao secretly wiped the cold sweat off his head. It's so dangerous. If he doesn't agree, Qu'a is very likely to turn his face. As the general of the army, Qu'a can't have an army behind him. Liu Bao very clear.But he didn't understand how Qu'a went from the north to Yanmen through the various tribes of Xianbei, and how Xianbei would let the Han army pass, unless Zhou Cang and the Xianbei people had already formed an alliance. Thinking of this, Liu Bao's cold sweat came down again. A foothold?
When the army was dispatched, Liu Bao secretly rejoiced that his decision was extremely wise. The five thousand cavalry of the Han army were all elite soldiers, and their riding skills were by no means inferior to his own. He also secretly looked at the equipment of the Han army, which made him even more ashamed , one by one armed to the teeth, the extravagance is simply outrageous!Each person is wearing soft armor, a horse lance, a knife at the waist, and flying axes, flying forks, flying shovels and the like hanging on both sides of the saddle. In comparison, his team is shabby.If there is a fight, it will definitely be me who suffers.

What's even more exasperating is that the Huns have always been famous for their speed, and the Han army is even faster.According to the usual practice, in order to maintain the horsepower, there is usually a break every thirty miles, but the soldiers of the Han army have one man and two horses, and the horsemen don't stop. They change horses every 20 miles and rest every fifty miles. It's too embarrassing for the army to be unable to keep up.

It took only two days from Dai County to Yuanping, and the poor Guo Yan had just arrived at You and had to start fleeing again. At this time, his men were killed and left behind, and there were less than a thousand people left behind.Qu'a divided the troops again, ordered Boba to lead a thousand cavalry, and Lu Qiling to lead five hundred auxiliary cavalry to chase Guo Yan and capture Yunzhong.He led the remaining [-] cavalry and the Huns to Dingxiang.

Zhang Yan, the governor of Xinxing County, was not in Jiuyuan, the governing place, nor in Dingxiang, an important town, but was guarding against the Han army's sneak attack from the small road at the western foot of Taihang Mountain.Zhang Yan was taken aback by Guo Yan's report, oh my god, it was all in vain that I spent a long time defending everywhere, people come in through the back door, if I lose Xinxing, Taiyuan will be directly exposed to the other party at the moment.

Zhang Yan immediately assembled his team and rushed back to Dingxiang along the Hutuo River, trying to form a defense line by virtue of the Hutuo River.Qu'a's team moved too fast. Before Zhang Yan returned to Dingxiang, Qu'a had already crossed the river. It can only be blamed for the flood in the south and the drought in the north. However, it is the dry season, and the water level of the slow-flowing Hutuo River has dropped, so there is no need to build a bridge. , You can wade through its narrow place by riding a horse.

"Yuanba, the Huns haven't crossed the river yet, should we wait for him to cross the river?" Duanmuling asked.Zhang Yan's team is quite a lot, at least ten thousand.

Qu A shook his head: "The suspicion of the Huns is uncertain and cannot be reused. Besides, if I send him to fight, he will suspect that I intend to use Zhang Yan's hand to cut him off, so he will not use his life. If he loses, it will affect my army. If our army can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, they can conquer the hearts of the Huns."
