Yu Zhun led his generals out to meet the enemy. At this time, the Huns did not know that Bormu was dead, so Yu Zhun falsely conveyed Bormu's order and arranged for the Huns to resist the main force of the Yan army.
Now that Bormu has been killed, Yu Zhun does not want the Yan army to break through the Kerulun Valley at this time.
He had been prepared.
At this moment, the Yan army, led by the Xianbei cavalry, entered the Kerulun Valley from a trail.
Halfway through the march, Zhang Beichen observed the terrain and saw a deep valley in front of him and towering cliffs around him. He stopped his horse and signaled to stop the march.
"Sir, what's wrong? After passing here, we will reach the place where the Xiongnu's defense is lax!" Xianbei cavalry urged, "Now the other side has started fighting. We have to hurry up to support, otherwise the Khan will be in trouble!"
Zhang Beichen frowned slightly and said: "This terrain is an ambush from all sides. If the enemy sets up an ambush here, my entire army will be wiped out! Turn around! Attack from the front!"
"Sir, we have already investigated and there is no ambush here. If we investigate at this time, we may miss the opportunity to fight!" the Xianbei cavalry quickly advised.
Zhang Beichen ignored him and ordered: "Turn around immediately!"
His cavalry turned around and attacked from the front, which suddenly disrupted Xianbei Khan Yu Zhun's position.
"What? The Yan army didn't take that road?" Yu Zhun's plan was to ambush the Yan army from that road. As long as the Yan army suffered heavy losses, they would inevitably retreat.
In this way, he killed Bormu and resisted the Yan army's attack.
He will take complete control!
But Zhang Beichen, seeing that he was about to make a successful detour, was willing to retreat and attack from the main road. This was too cautious!
"Khan, what should we do now? The Huns are about to discover the death of Bormu!" his subordinate said anxiously.
They took advantage of the war to temporarily deceive the Huns generals. But someone will always find out that Bormu is dead.
Once they find out, these Huns will definitely kill him!
"Just say that the general has led his troops to fight out, and let them follow!" Yu Zhun gritted his teeth.
"yes!"
They continued to deceive the Hun generals, claiming that Bormu had penetrated deep into the enemy's lines and was fighting with the enemy.
It was late at night and no one knew the specific situation. Although the Hun generals were suspicious, they had no time to find out the truth and could only lead their men to continue the charge.
…
Zhang Beichen has led his troops to the river valley.
Hao Zhen said: "The enemy is well-defended and relies on Ou Tuo to resist tenaciously. We won't be able to get in for a while!"
The Xiongnu soldiers in Outuo attacked with poisonous arrows, and many Yanqi were shot dead in the chaos.
"Where are those Xianbei cavalry?" Zhang Beichen asked.
"They haven't shown up, saying they were guarded by the Huns." Hao Zhen said coldly, "I think Yu Zhun is deliberately delaying to consume our and the Huns' forces."
"This guy is really dishonest!" Zhang Beichen said. The original plan was for the Xianbei tribe to rebel directly, but now the Xianbei cavalry has not taken action, making their attack much more difficult.
"Send the order!" Zhang Beichen ordered the generals, "Let people disguise themselves as Huns soldiers, tell them that Yu Zhun assassinated Bormu, and let the Huns fight with the Xianbei people!"
"yes!"
Hao Zhen had managed Donghu for many years and had many Huns under his command.
He immediately asked these people to pretend to be Huns soldiers and shout in the night: "Xianbei Khan assassinated the general, kill Yu Zhun to avenge the general!"
The Hun general was wondering why Boermu did not appear to take command, but Yu Zhun was conveying the order. Hearing this cry, one can't help but feel suspicious.
Several Xiongnu generals found Yu Zhun and asked, "Where is the general? Tell me quickly!"
Yu Zhun still covered up and said: "The general is going deep alone. It is very dangerous now."
"Yu Zhun, stop playing tricks with us. We just went to the big tent, and they said they didn't see the general going into battle at all!"
Seeing that the generals didn't believe it, Yu Zhun simply became cruel and ordered his cronies to kill them all.
But this did not solve the problem. Other Huns generals also realized that the situation was wrong and roared: "Kill Yu Zhun and avenge the general!"
The Huns and Xianbei also fought together, and the scene became even more chaotic.
"The time has come, kill!" Upon seeing this, Zhang Beichen ordered the cavalry to charge.
The Xiongnu soldiers and Xianbei soldiers in the Kerulun Valley fought together, and their defenses relaxed a lot. The Yan army waited for work and rushed into the valley, killing all sides!
[The war lasted from midnight to noon the next day. Without Bormu's command, the Huns dispersed and fled. The Xianbei soldiers also died in battle and surrendered! 】
The Xianbei Khan Yu Zhun was surrounded.
Yu Zhun pretended to be angry and shouted to Hao Zhen: "Wuhuan Khan, what do you mean? I have helped you get rid of Bormu, do you want to tear up the alliance?"
Hao Zhen smiled and said: "Yu Zhun, don't do this. If you sincerely serve the Yan State, it would be okay for you to continue to be the Khan of Xianbei."
"But on the surface, they are cooperating, but secretly they want to ambush our Yan cavalry. If you want to reap the benefits, do you have the ability?"
Yu Zhun's expression changed drastically. He had calculated well, and Boermu was tricked to death by him.
But he didn't expect that Yan Jun's combat effectiveness was so strong!
In Yu Zhun's plan, even if the Yan Army's large force was not killed last night, the solid defense of the Kerulun Valley would be enough to block the Yan Army's charge.
As long as you persist for half a month, Maotai will definitely send troops to support. The Great Chanyu of the Huns will never give up the Kerulun Valley to others!
However, what he didn't expect was that after the Yan army charged, not to mention his Xianbei cavalry, even the Xiongnu's wolf cavalry could not stop the opponent.
Those defensive Ou Tuo had no effect on the Yan army. The Yan army was good at attacking cities and demolishing strongholds. Outuo is just a small earthen fort. What does it mean compared to the tall and solid cities in the Central Plains?
Yu Lian was next to Yu Zhun, and she tried to say: "Let Khan go, Khan can treat the Xianbei tribe for Yan State and resist the Huns!"
"No need." Zhang Beichen rode over and said in a high-spirited voice: "After seizing the Kerulen Valley, I will soon go out to conquer the Xiongnu. From now on, the Xiongnu will cease to exist!"
"You underestimate Da Shanyu too much!" Yu Zhun said coldly.
Zhang Beichen looked at him, not hiding his murderous intent. Yu Zhun knew that he would not escape death today. He looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, father, you should have been more decisive back then and directly rebelled against Donghu, otherwise our Xianbei tribe would not have ended up like this!"
"I am unable to protect the tribe, so I will commit suicide to apologize!"
After saying that, Yu Zhun committed suicide and died.
"Khan!" Yu Lian held Yu Zhun's body with tears streaming down her face. She looked at Zhang Beichen and Hao Zhen resentfully and said, "I curse you to get sick and die in pain!"
After saying that, her appearance quickly decayed until she turned into a pile of withered bones.
"It's voodoo!" Hao Zhen was shocked. He saw a strong resentment coming towards them.
Not only the Southern Barbarians can use voodoo techniques, but there are also some wizards on the Xiongnu who can use this secret technique.
"It doesn't matter!" Zhang Beichen used his Xiangyin and Tiger Talisman, and saw a thunder falling from the sky that directly dispersed the resentment.
"Our country, Yan, has great fortune, and this little trick can't taint us!" Zhang Beichen said.
Hao Zhen was relieved that Yu Lian was not a simple person. Even Boermu in the Holy Realm was poisoned by her. If this voodoo technique is entangled in him, he may not be able to live well in the rest of his life!
…
[You led the troops to take control of the Kerulun Valley, dispersed the Xianbei tribe, and handed it over to Hao Zhen for management. 】
"Many Huns fled during the wars in the past few days. I think the news of our capture of the Kerulen Valley will soon reach Maotai's ears!" In the tent, Hao Zhen said, "Maotai will definitely not give up. , we need to prepare early!"
"Yes." Zhang Beichen was convinced. "When our army approached the Kerulun Valley, Maotai didn't send anyone to support us. This shows that he is now entangled in the affairs of the Western Region and cannot escape."
"We should take advantage of this opportunity to march forward. As long as we capture the Tule Valley, the Huns will be completely at a disadvantage!"
"Brother Zhang and I have the same idea! I have sent people to map out the terrain of Tule Valley over the years, and it is ready for expedition at any time!" Hao Zhen said.
"Then let's set off now! We will leave 20,000 troops to guard the Kerulen Valley, and the rest of the soldiers will continue to advance, trying to capture the Tule Valley before Maotai returns to support!" Zhang Beichen made an immediate decision.
…
Western Region.
Maotai was leading his men to attack the Dayue clan.
In the past few years, he has destroyed half of the thirty-six countries in the Western Region!
Now Dayuezhi only has an isolated city left with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
The Huns army besieged the city.
Inside the city gate, Queen Dayuezhi Lanxiang was at her wits' end.
She finally won the throne from the five Xihous, but she didn't expect that the Huns invaded and she didn't even have time to develop the country.
Moreover, she has not yet waited for the man who came to the Central Plains in this round, and the Da Yueshi's national power has increased very slowly.
In front of the powerful Xiongnu soldiers, Dayuezhi soldiers were slaughtered like cattle and sheep by the opponent!
"Your Majesty, King Kushan has rejected our request for help!" The messenger reported the situation to Queen Lanxiang.
Not long ago, Queen Lanxiang sent someone to ask for help from King Kushan, hoping that the Kushan Empire could send troops to assist them, but King Kushan directly rejected this request.
In this time and space, the Marquis of Guishang broke away from the Dayue clan very early. He conquered all the way and conquered a huge empire.
At this time, the Kushan Empire has become a huge force in the central region of the mainland!
"It seems that God is going to destroy my Da Yueshi!" Queen Lanxiang sighed quietly.
She looked to the east. She probably wouldn't be able to wait for that person this time.
She had prepared the poisoned wine a long time ago. Once the city is defeated, the city will be destroyed and everyone will die!
…
At this time, outside the city, the Xiongnu chief Yu Maotai was about to order an attack on the city, but suddenly received news that he was coming to the rear.
"Great Chanyu, something bad happened! General Boermu was poisoned and the Kerulun Valley was occupied by the Yan Kingdom!" The Messenger reported.
"What?" Maotai was shocked, "Boermu is dead? The Kerulen Valley is also lost? What happened?"
After the messenger finished detailing the information, Maotai said angrily: "Boermu, this idiot, really lost the river valley and his own life in vain!"
"When I return, I will crush the Xianbei people to ashes!"
"Da Chanyu, shall we continue to attack the city?" King Zuoxie asked.
"No fight!" Maotai calmed down, "The Yan army is sneaking a surprise attack on our rear. Every day we delay, the danger in the rear will increase."
"If we lose the Royal Court, even if we capture the Da Yueshi, it will be useless! Give us the order to withdraw our troops immediately and return to support the Tule Valley and Mobei Royal Court!"
"yes!"
…
In Dayuezhi City, Queen Lanxiang was ready to die for her country, but unexpectedly news came that the Huns had retreated!
"Your Majesty, the Huns have retreated! They have retreated!" The ministers were overjoyed.
"Why did the Xiongnu retreat?" Queen Lanxiang felt that there must be a demon when something went wrong. It was only a matter of time before the Xiongnu defeated them. Why did they retreat at the moment of victory?
"Is there a scam?" Queen Lanxiang was confused.
"Go and check quickly!"
"yes!"
The Dayeshi people followed the Huns soldiers all the way and found that they had indeed retreated, and they retreated very quickly, as if there was an emergency.
After a few days, they finally knew the reason. From the mouth of a Xiongnu deserter, they learned that the Yan State was attacking the Xiongnu's rear, and the Great Chan Yu Maotai had no choice but to lead his troops back in order to protect his base camp.
"It turns out to be the Yan Kingdom!" Queen Lanxiang finally understood why the Huns retreated.
"It's him!" She was a little excited. The Yan Kingdom's trade was developed, and many merchants from the Yan Kingdom had begun selling porcelain, silk and other items to the Western Regions, so she knew that the prime minister of the Yan Kingdom was Zhang Beichen.
Previously, Zhang Beichen was the Prime Minister of Wei. To Queen Lanxiang, this didn't matter. They were all a unified dynasty in the Central Plains anyway, as long as Zhang Beichen still existed!
…
On Zhang Beichen's side, he led hundreds of thousands of cavalry down the river from the Kerulen Valley and headed straight for the Thule Valley.
The guard of Tule Valley is none other than the leader of one of Maotai's tribes, King Changtu!
In his early years, King Changtu was also a powerful man who was qualified to compete with Maotai for the position of Great Chanyu. Compared with Boermu, he was more cautious and his strength was also in the holy realm.
…
In the king's tent, King Chang Tu was discussing the current situation with the generals.
"The Kerulun Valley is occupied by the Yan Kingdom, and his next target must be our Tule Valley!" King Changtu said firmly, "The Wuhuan tribe will serve as a vanguard for the Yan Kingdom, and the Yan Kingdom knows the terrain of our Tule Valley very well. , I’m afraid it’s a bit dangerous this time.”
"Chanyu, what are the people of Yan to be afraid of? In the past, we often plundered and killed the people of Yan and used their flesh and blood as military rations! Let me go to fight, and I can capture Zhang Beichen alive and take back the Kerulun Valley!" The generals under his command clamored to go to war. .
King Changtu frowned and said: "Don't be reckless! If Zhang Beichen is so easy to deal with, the Yan Kingdom will not be able to unify the Central Plains!"
"In the early years, the Great Danyu fell into Zhang Beichen's trick. He lost the land of Donghu and only captured the Kerulun River Valley. Now that he has also captured the Kerulun Valley, the Yan Kingdom can always threaten our rear."
"I have sent a messenger to report to the Great Chanyu. I believe that the Great Chanyu will lead his army back in the near future. If you pass on the order, everyone will only defend but not attack. We will wait until the Great Chanyu comes back!"
"Yes!" Although the generals were dissatisfied, they still carried out King Chang Tu's order.
