Beiguan of the Han Dynasty.
Wu was led back all the way from the grassland.
Previously, they and Lei were on the grassland and saw the Huns' team entering the Xianbei tribe's area, so they went south from the border area between Xianbei and the Huns. The corresponding location of the Han border pass was the junction of Shanggu County and Yuyang County.
When Wu was exposed to Xiuyi's identity at the border, he was finally received by the prefect Zhao He.
Wu was briefed and concisely reported what he had seen on the grassland:
"The Xiongnu team that entered the Xianbei grassland was very scary."
Wu was running around for days, and a look of memories appeared on his dusty face:
"To be precise, I have never seen such terrifying Hun soldiers.
They seem to be able to control the power of souls. After we were discovered, we were pursued by them, and even the shadows behind us were controlled by them... Several people in our team were killed one after another. "
Zhao He frowned: "Your news is too late. Huo Hou's troops have entered the grassland."
"That Xiongnu team entering the grassland will undoubtedly be targeting our Han army. If Huo Hou is unprepared, it will be very dangerous."
Wu Ban asked anxiously: "How many troops did Huo Hou bring?"
Zhao He: "Three thousand, Zhonglang General Tong Xuan also has three thousand people. They are all veterans who have followed Huo Hou for many battles. They should not suffer a loss against the Xiongnu soldiers you mentioned."
Wu Bei's expression changed and he said: "I'm afraid that Huo Hou is unprepared and will be plotted by the Xiongnu and Xianbei and other tribes.
That Huns soldier is really strong.
Before meeting them, I didn't even think that there would be such a powerful army in the world. "
Zhao He's eyes passed over the three people who came back with Wu quilt, but when they heard the name of the soldiers and horses, they all showed palpitations. What kind of soldiers and horses can make these elite men in embroidered clothes so frightened?
"It's useless to rush now. Huo Hou led his troops and left in the morning. It's already evening and we can't catch up." Zhao He said.
Although the Han army and Xiu Yi had a secret communication method, they were unable to communicate in a timely manner due to distance restrictions, and then entering the grasslands and leaving the Han Dynasty.
Zhao He thought for a while and added: "We also have a supporting team here, nearly four thousand people, composed of border troops, chasing Huo Hou and others, responsible for following them to receive the prisoners.
I estimate that the border troops should also have arrived in Wuhuan at this time. "
"Who leads the border troops responsible for receiving prisoners?" Wu was asked.
"General Su Jian was originally scheduled to go there, but General Li Guang learned that he could attack the grassland and led his men there himself," Zhao He said.
Beiguan is an important area. If Wei Qing is not at the border pass, generals such as Li Guang or Su Jian will be there to ensure that important generals are always in charge.
Li Guang and Huo Qubing came to Beiguan one after another.
…
On the grassland, the tent of King Wuhuan.
Huo Qubing had more than a hundred elite men under his command, led by Hao Qisheng, the captain of the Forbidden Army, to guard the prisoners.
Although the Han army only had more than a hundred men, it was able to guard tens of thousands of prisoners safely.
The reason is that the captives were rotated into the tent.
That is to say, the captives who did not enter the tent would be taken to the ice and snow outside the tent for a long time to freeze.
In the cold winter, the sun had set outside the tent. They were tied up and kept frozen until their bodies became stiff, and then they were allowed to enter the tent and relax.
In this case, although there were many Wuhuan prisoners, it was a luxury to hope that they would not freeze to death, let alone resist.
Only after nightfall did the Han army responsible for the response, more than 2,000 people in total, come over under the leadership of Li Guang to replace Xiao Qisheng and take over the prisoners.
"Where's Huo Hou?"
Li Guang took the lead and entered the Wuhuan camp. When he saw the scene in the camp, he stamped his feet and said: "I hurried and hurried slowly, but you Huo Hou killed me and left. I didn't catch up with the hot ones."
Xiao Qisheng said in surprise: "Based on time, even if you are walking slowly, you should have arrived at least an hour earlier than now. Why are you coming so slowly?"
Li Guang's face was slightly red. It was snowing heavily, and everything was white, regardless of east, west, or south.
He fell into his old habit of running in the snow without any reference to the scenery. The white snow came into his eyes and he almost got lost.
Fortunately, I wasn't too obsessed and adjusted back in time, so I came a little late.
"We, Marquis Huo, have been gone for almost an hour. General Li Guang, we have given them all to you. There are five Wuhuan captives in total, please keep an eye on them.
Wuhuan currently has three tribes left intact. We haven't fought, so we have to leave you some thoughts. Lang Zhongling said that if you can't stay idle, you can go and fight the three Wuhuan tribes. We're going after Huo Hou! "
Li Guang's face looked a little ugly. Is what Xiao Qisheng said humanly?
Also leave some thoughts for me, who can I send them away?
"Wait a minute, where did Lang Zhongling go? It doesn't take thousands of people to guard these prisoners. I will also join up with your Huo Hou, and we will fight some tough battles together." Li Guang's hands were itching unbearably.
"Okay, come if you can keep up." Xiao Qisheng agreed and made a gesture.
More than a hundred elite men under his command were assembled in an instant.
Xiao Qisheng raised his hand and held out a bamboo slip left by Huo Qubing.
On the bamboo slips, Huo Qubing had used his magical powers specifically for his own troops to rendezvous with.
Xiao Qisheng blew a whistle, and the team was covered by the dissipated breath of the soldiers, rolling up a cloud of mist. After leaving the Wuhuan camp, they flashed a few times and then disappeared without a trace.
Damn... I agreed so happily. Although Li Guang is old, he has a bloody temper in the army and swears.
Is it great to have a marching strategy? Li Guang led his troops all the way here, and he also tried his best to use his own marching strategy.
Nicknamed "Flying General", he is famous all over the world for his extremely fast marching speed.
But even so, his flying general's marching method was somewhat infeasible in the snow. The horse's hooves got stuck in the snow nest and he walked extremely slowly.
So Huo Qubing and he set out from Beiguan and came over first to finish the battle. Li Guangcai arrived late to take in the prisoners.
Li Guang was not in a high mood, feeling that he was both young and sick at the same time.
It was already night time.
More than half an hour later, the tribe came to report that the prisoners and various materials seized from King Wuhuan's account had been initially counted.
"Let's rest here for the night and carefully monitor the prisoners. There are quite a few of them. Don't cause trouble and make Huo Hou's people laugh, saying that we can't even take a prisoner seriously..." Li Guangyan said softly.
The tribesmen agreed loudly.
They were currently in a Wuhuan tent. After Li Guang finished speaking, he suddenly made a gesture to tell his men to stop talking. His ears twitched, and his expression changed slightly: "The enemy is attacking, set up defenses!"
The sound suddenly spread throughout the military camp.
The nearly 4,000 border troops he brought were all elite and guarded the border all year round. They responded quickly and were on alert.
At the same time, changes occurred.
Outside the Wuhuan tent, a ghostly team appeared, with numerous shadows, and launched a sharp and fierce offensive against the Han army.
For a moment, arrows rained down.
Li Guang stared angrily: "It's the Xiongnu... and the Xianbei people, seeking death!"
What appeared was the 3,000 Heavenly Soul Army led by Xubukongri, one of the four generals under the command of the divine general Judu, from the Xiongnu tribe.
When they rushed to the Xianbei grassland, they received orders from Yudu and waited for the opportunity to act, with the purpose of destroying the Han army's plan to occupy the eastern grassland.
At this time, the troops suddenly came out and clashed with Li Guang's troops.
Xubu Kongri also showed his figure in the distance, riding on a horse surrounded by black air, looking at the battlefield.
There were several people beside him, one of whom was not tall but wore a wolf-skin felt hat and had sharp eyes. He was riding a horse and looked very imposing.
This person is Tuoqing, another general of the Xianbei clan.
A Xianbei man next to him had a wounded shoulder and red blood. It was A Fuyu who had been defeated by Huo Qubing here just now and was shot by the Han army with an arrow while escaping.
The woman on the other side has a pretty face and a tan complexion, and she is Luo Boyin.
The two were defeated by Huo Qubing's troops and fled north to return to Xianbei, but they happened to encounter Xubu Kongri's troops.
To their surprise, Xianbei's general Tuoqing also came.
Only then did Afuyu and Luo Boyin learn that the Lord of Xianbei had been persuaded by the Xiongnu, and the two sides cooperated to prepare to deal with the Han army that entered the grassland this time.
The group of people reunited and came back to fight.
Xianbei had four thousand soldiers and horses, and three thousand elite Xiongnu Tianhun troops, a total of seven thousand people. They were commanded by Xubukongri and assisted by Xianbei general Tuoqing.
"First defeat the Han army in front of us, rescue these Wuhuan prisoners, let them fight back against the Han army, and increase the hatred between the two parties. Then it will be difficult for the Han to let the Wuhuan surrender." Xubu Kongri, who was as tall as a mountain, said looking forward on his horse.
A Fuyu and Luo Piyin looked at each other quietly, and both saw a hint of surprise in the other's eyes.
Today, they encountered two tribes that were more powerful than previously imagined, and they had to be surprised.
The Han army under Huo Qubing's command defeated all their coalition forces in a single encounter, which shows their strong combat effectiveness.
But on the way back, the Huns soldiers were led by Xubu Kongri. The black energy around them seemed to have the power of demons, wrapping them around them. They could also gallop on the snow like flying, almost unaffected by the snow.
I encountered two teams in a row on one day, and their abilities in all aspects were far superior to those of the Xianbei tribe.
This was a serious blow to A Fuyu and Luo Piyin, who had been quite conceited before.
"Looking at the expressions of the two of you, you still can't hide your panic at this moment, but are you scared out of your wits by that Han army?"
Xubu Kongri's voice, different from his huge body, actually sounded a bit sharp.
He said disdainfully: "After we defeat the Han army guarding the prisoners, we will go to meet the Han general Champion Hou's team."
Luo Piyin and Afuyu both changed their expressions and said: "The Han army under the command of the champion lord, and your Tianhun tribe may not have a chance of winning. If you fight with them, you should plan carefully."
Xubu Konggri said: "You think my subordinates are the same as your loose coalition troops."
Afuyu said: "I'm afraid General Yudu will not be satisfied with you acting without permission and wasting your troops!"
Xubu Kongri sneered and said: "You are wrong. The general told me that if the Han army enters the grassland this time and chooses to attack Fuyu first, it may seem wise, but in fact it is nothing more than that, because the Han army did not consider the position of the Xiongnu.
In this way, I don't need to pay too much attention to the Han army, and let me wait and watch in the dark without taking action. "
He added: "But if the Han army attacks Fuyu and Wuhuan at the same time, the commander cannot be underestimated. The general asked me to test the Han army's combat effectiveness."
Xubu Kongri: "Every move of the opponent is expected by General Yudu. Such a team may not be weak, but how can it be the opponent of my Heavenly Soul Department?"
After Xu Bu Kongri finished speaking, he glanced at the battlefield, and suddenly a long bow appeared in his hand.
The next moment, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming the arrow at Li Guang on the battlefield!
…
Huo Qubing left Wuhuan King's tribe and led his army to attack Fuyu.
Their team caught up with the envoys who had fled from King Wuhuan's tent and the 1,500 Fuyu soldiers under his command.
Although the entrusted team was more familiar with the road conditions, they inevitably got stuck in the snow and couldn't walk fast.
After the sky darkened, the Han army caught up from behind and launched arrow attacks from a distance, but did not get close to kill them.
Fu Tuo was so horrified that he led his team to escape at the risk of their lives.
"Drive these defeated troops and let them take their defeated troops back to the Fuyu camp. Our army will then rush into the formation and defeat Fuyu more easily." Zhang Cigong said with a smile.
So the team slowed down and followed the entrusted soldiers and horses like cattle.
The sky was completely dark, but the moonlight reflected in the white snow was still quite bright.
The Han army was wrapped up in Huo Qubing's marching method. The battle map on the ground flashed and the thousands of troops were in sync, which could offset the wind, snow and cold to a certain extent, and the team's marching atmosphere was relatively relaxed.
During the march, Huo Qubing suddenly reined in his horse and turned back to look at the road he had come.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Cigong asked.
A wonderful feeling was emerging in Huo Qubing's mind.
He narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said to Zhang Cigong: "Take people to join Tong Xuan, drive the Fuyu people back as planned, and launch an offensive against them."
Zhang Cigong asked unexpectedly: "What about you?"
Huo Qubing: "I feel a murderous aura wandering between heaven and earth, very far behind us... I want to go back and take a look. If I fail to join you tomorrow morning, you must stay where you are after capturing Fuyu. Don't act rashly." .”
Zhang Cigong agreed, and Huo Qubing glanced at Bai Nanyu.
"I'll go with you." Bai Nanyu said.
The three thousand Han troops immediately separated into a thousand men, followed Huo Qubing, turned around and turned back, and soon disappeared into the snowy night.
