There is no dispute about the origin of the name Hedong County. It is entirely because it is located on the east bank of the Yellow River.
However, for Hedong County, the Yellow River only surrounds the entire county.
What runs through this Hedong County is Fenshui!
The two sides of the Fen River not only built most of the cities in Hedong County, but also served as the main rivers and roads connecting Bingzhou.
Including Xu Huang, who has become famous in the Yizhou Army, his hometown is in Yang County on the east side of Fen River.
Without Xu Huang, there would still be no achievements in this place.
Not far from Yang County, on the west bank of the Fen River, there is a city that has been mediocre for hundreds of years, Pingyang County.
Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Pingyang County had little reputation.
Its presence among the 19 counties in Hedong County is extremely low!
The city of Pingyang is so mediocre that it has almost no story.
But just seven years ago, Pingyang suddenly emerged and became the focus of Hedong County.
Seven years ago, Yu Fuluo, the Xiongnu Chanyu who surrendered to Cao Cao, died. Yu Fuluo's younger brother Huchuquan inherited the Chanyu position and was placed in Pingyang by Cao Cao.
The originally ordinary Pingyang County of Hedong County became the royal court of the Southern Huns in 195 AD, the second year of Xingping!
Seven years ago, with the support of Cao Cao, Huchuquan quickly gained a foothold and successfully commanded the entire southern Xiongnu.
But at this time, at the top of Pingyang City, a big flag with a Liu character was fluttering in the wind.
Those who occupied the city were Taishi Ci, Ma Chao, Pang De and 17,000 Yizhou cavalry led by Pang Tong.
There was no fighting here, and Pang Tong successfully captured Pingyang City without any hindrance.
As for why there are no Huns stationed in the royal court of the Huns, all the reasons must be attributed to one person.
Liu Zhang!
If there was no Liu Zhang, even if Liu Zhang was only active in Liangzhou and did not march into Qixian to confront the Xianbei people.
So at this time, Pingyang City was still full of Huns.
When Liu Zhang was still fighting against Han Sui in Yuzhong, Ma Chao and hundreds of thousands of Qiang people, Huchuquan and the Xiongnu army were still in Pingyang.
But last year, when Liu Zhang and the Xianbei people were fighting over Guanzhong and the two sides faced off in Qixian County, Huchuquan led his army to evacuate from Pingyang.
Huchuquan led his army through Qiantao Plain and Houtao Plain. He gathered 100,000 string control men and lurked in Xitao Plain.
Xitao Plain is north of Lian County, the northernmost city of Beidi County.
Huchuquan has only one purpose, to reap the benefits of being a fisherman.
No matter who will win in the end, Liu Zhang or the Xianbei people, Huchuquan is confident that he will be able to take advantage.
Liu Zhang was weak, and if he won, it would be a tragic victory. At that time, Huchuquan could lead his army to capture Guanzhong.
If Xianbei wins, with Fu Luohan's character, he will definitely get carried away. Huchuquan just leads the army to raid Xianbei, averting the shame of his ancestors!
It's a pity that the development of things was completely beyond Huchuquan's expectation!
Liu Zhang not only won a bloodless victory, but also buried 100,000 Xianbei troops alive!
How much of a deterrent is this?
When Huchuquan heard that he was buried alive, he became frightened on the spot!
He hurriedly led his army to flee from the Xitao Plain to the Houtao Plain, fearing that his previous actions would anger Liu Zhang.
It was Hu Chuquan's unrealistic dream that made him undergo a meaningless struggle.
Bypassing the Yellow River from the plains of Hedong County, all the Xiongnu forces were brought to the Hetao area.
Without Liu Zhang, the people north of Baibo Valley would have been just wishful thinking if they wanted to escape from the clutches of the Huns.
These people were able to evacuate entirely because of Liu Zhang's unintentional actions.
It was also because of the ravages suffered by the Xiongnu that the people in these counties could endure Wei Xi's brutal and desperate drive.
In fact, Wei Ji didn't want to do this, just because he suddenly received a piece of information while he was in Anyi!
Hu Chuquan suddenly led a hundred thousand string control men to Hedong County!
After receiving the news, Wei Qian immediately put down everything he was doing, took a few guards and headed north as hard as he could.
Not only did he give early warning to Pang Tong and the Yizhou cavalry, but he also personally led the people to evacuate as soon as possible.
In order to prevent panic from spreading, Wei Jian could only hide everything and force the people to evacuate.
Wei Zhi's inhumane expulsion today had only one purpose, just to save more people.
It can be said that Huchuquan's sudden advance of troops exceeded everyone's expectations.
Especially Liu Zhang, he was familiar with the historical trend and even more aware of the future trends of Huchuquan.
There was indeed a large-scale use of troops in Huchuquan in history, but it was not this year, but after Yuan Shao's death next year.
After Yuan Shang succeeded Yuan Shao, he successfully lured Huchuquan to rebel against Cao Cao.
In order to cooperate with Huchuquan, Yuan Shang also sent Bingzhou governor Gaogan and general Guo Yuan to jointly operate.
Both sides jointly marched into Hedong County to threaten Cao Cao's flanks.
Now Yuan Shao is not dead, and there are currently no signs of Yuan Jun fighting with Cao Jun.
Who would have thought that Huchuquan, who was staying well in the Houtao Plain, would suddenly lead his army south?
If it weren't for the coveted spies within the Xiongnu, the consequences would have been absolutely disastrous!
After learning the news, Pang Tong made a quick decision and asked Wei Jian to lead the people south.
Pang Tong personally led his troops to Pingyang, preparing to forcibly hold back the Huns.
"military adviser!"
A voice suddenly came, interrupting Pang Tong who was standing on the city wall looking into the distance.
"Ziyi! What's the matter?"
"According to the latest intelligence report, Huchuquan's army has arrived at Puzi. In three days at most, they will arrive at Pingyang City!"
So fast!
Pang Tong exclaimed in his heart, the Huns' advancing speed far exceeded his expectation!
To enter Hedong from Houtao Plain, you need to cross mountains and ridges.
Originally, Pang Tong thought it would take at least five days for the Huns to arrive.
"Three days... Wei Qian can only reach Wenxi at most..."
Pang Tong frowned, and then became worried.
Now it is impossible for the people led by Wei Jian to directly enter Zuo Fengyi from Hedong. It is too late!
The only option was to go straight south, forcefully cross the Yellow River to Hongnong, and then take a detour from Hongnong to Chang'an.
This is half the distance than the normal route, but safety can be ensured after crossing the river.
"Ziyi, the Huns' fighting power is not as good as the Xianbei's. If we fight head-on, do you think we have a chance of winning?"
Pang Tong retained a glimmer of hope in Tai Shi Ci. After all, Wu Fengying's reputation was too loud!
Whether it's a duel with Ma Teng, Han Sui's iron cavalry, fine cavalry, or a duel with Xianbei cavalry, Wu Fengying can defeat more with less and pierce the enemy!
If we can deal with the Huns head-on, we can solve this serious problem once and for all.
For this reason, even if Wu Feng Camp is damaged again, he will not hesitate!
Taishi Ci clenched his hands tightly. He wanted to tell Pang Tong that the Wufeng camp was invincible, but his reason made him shake his head.
"Military advisor, Wu Feng Camp's ultimate move is the Chexuan Formation. But the area east of Hedong is very mountainous, especially after passing Anyi!"
"Although the road can allow cavalry to gallop, its width completely limits the performance of Wu Feng Battalion."
"If Wu Fengying cannot use the formation, at most one enemy will be... three!"
Pang Tong nodded slightly and did not continue to embarrass Tai Shi Ci.
He knew in his heart that the saying "one versus three" was probably something Tai Shici had said through gritted teeth.
If there is no special move, if 17,000 cavalry are thrown into the 100,000 cavalry, they will soon be overwhelmed!
In particular, the Huns are good at riding and shooting, and can attack and shoot, which will cause heavy casualties to the Yizhou cavalry.
The roads are mountainous and narrow, which is not conducive to cavalry attacks.
If an ambush is set up on the road, Pang Tong has no infantry or archers.
This place east of the river seems to be a dead end!
