Chapter 1409(1/2)

In the summer of the 12th year of Yanxi, the foot of Danhan Mountain was the most beautiful season on the grassland.

In the distance, the Yinshan Mountains stand majestic, and the snow on the top of the mountain has not subsided, and silver light is shining in the sun.

Nearby, on the meadow at the foot of the Khanshan Mountain, golden lotus flowers bloomed, with their petals as bright as gold, swaying in the wind, emitting a faint fragrance.

A few rays of golden sunlight penetrate the clouds and sprinkle on the vast grassland.

The dewdrops hang on the grass leaves, crystal clear, like pearls sprinkled from the earth.

The mountains in the distance appear faintly in the morning mist, like an ink painting.

The golden lotus blooms quietly in the morning light, and the petals also contain night dew, making it look particularly beautiful.

They are clustered together, like a golden carpet for the grassland. The breeze blows, the sea of ​​flowers is filled with waves, and the golden petals are shining in the sun.

The morning sun shines on the vast grassland, and the golden brilliance and emerald green grass waves intertwined, as if a huge and beautiful painting was spread out between the world.

This is a unique beauty on the southern foot of Danhan Mountain, unique to the world.

In history, Danhan Mountain would become the Xianbei Khan Court, the place where Xianbei people worshipped the sky, and at the same time it would become the base camp for the Xianbei people to go south to the Central Plains.

But at this time, the bronze wolf statue that was originally used by the Xianbei people to sacrifice to the sky had been cut off, leaving only a headless wolf body.

Next to the wolf, there was a stone tablet engraved on it: "The General of Han Zhendong surrendered to the Xianbei 300,000 here."

The big characters are fishy red, like blood stains that are not dry.

Since General Guan conquered the Xianbei of Luhui tribe and suppressed the Xianbei of Tuoba tribe. The former Xianbei of the Western and Xianbei of the Central have disappeared into the long river of history.

The remaining tribes have fled everywhere, and it is difficult to become a climate.

If the Xianbei in the eastern region does not cross Bailang Mountain to the west, then the northern part of Youzhou can maintain stability for at least ten years.

General Zhendong, the biggest contributor to this battle, was standing on a high place at this time, narrowing his eyes slightly and looking to the south. To be precise, it was the direction of Juyongguan.

Her eyes seemed to see through Yanshan to see the battlefield in front of Juyong Pass.

At the same time, General Xian Yufu, the governor of Wei State, also stood on the city wall and looked north. Although his face was as calm as water, his vague flashing eyes revealed a faint uneasiness in his heart.

The towering city walls of Juyong Pass are built against the mountain, like a giant dragon entrenched among the mountains.

There are steep cliffs on both sides of the pass, and only a narrow mountain road leads to the pass, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

A low trumpet sound came from a distance, followed by the sound of horse hooves like thunder and dust.

I saw a cavalry unit galloping from the end of the mountain road.

Their outfits were completely different from those of the Central Plains army. They were wearing leather armor, woolen hats, and scimitars. They were Xianbei cavalry!

"Here you come!"

Xian Yufu felt a stern heart and immediately ordered: "The whole army is on guard! Archers are ready!"

The Wei army, who had already prepared, quickly guarded their own positions, and the archers bluffed their arrows and were ready to aim at the Xianbei cavalry in the distance at any time.

The Xianbei cavalry vanguard stopped at a distance of one arrow from the pass, and the general led him held up his scimitar and shouted in stiff Chinese:

"Listen to the guards of Wei State! Our Xianbei warriors come to Juyong Pass today. Those who know the truth will quickly open the door and surrender, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"

Xian Yufu looked angry and gritted his teeth and said, "Di Yi was as rude as a livestock. He formed an alliance with our Great Wei in the previous period and was exterminated by the Han army. Now he has betrayed the alliance and attached himself to his enemies. Come to the territory of our Great Wei? Strike arrows!"

With his order, arrows fell like rain on the city wall.

Just like a drill, the Xianbei cavalry retreated quickly before the rain of arrows fell.

Soon, after adjusting the formation, they rushed over again.

This time, they scattered and used the maneuverability of the horses to detour left and right in front of the pass, trying to disrupt the Wei army's defense.

Seeing this, Xian Yufu immediately ordered: "Pili chariot is ready, aim at the dense enemy's areas and release it!"

Huge stones flew out from the city wall and hit the Xianbei cavalry.

Xianbei cavalry was good at riding and shooting, and had strong mobility, but their ability to attack cities was not their strength, let alone in front of a powerful pass.

Xian Yufu stood on the city wall, his face neither sad nor happy.

If you want to attack for a strong force, let alone these Hu cavalry, even if the master Han army, who came behind them, would die in vain.

Sure enough, the battle lasted for a whole hour, and the Xianbei cavalry could not break through the Wei army's defense line.

As the casualties grew, morale gradually declined.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Xianbei general had to order a retreat.

When you come, you are like waves, when you go, you are like tides.

The Xianbei cavalry retreated like a tide, and even hundreds of corpses before the pass were discarded, and disappeared in a hurry on the mountain road in the distance.

The Wei army closed was full of energy and cheered loudly.

They can no longer remember the attack of defeating the Xianbei people in the past three months.

But the dozens of consecutive defeats of Hu Gou have made them grow incredible confidence, as if no matter how powerful the enemy is, it is nothing more than that.

"Congratulations to General Xianyu for defeating the thieves' invasion."

Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou who had never dared to say anything, afraid of disturbing Xianyufu's command of the battle, watched the Xianbei cavalry flee in a hurry, then stood up, breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xianyufu with a smile on his face.

As the governor of Youzhou, he should have been in Jixian County and supported all parts of Youzhou.

But Wang Xiong has a background and a reputation, and can do it, otherwise he would not have forced Tian Yu to leave.

It can even be said that Mu Shou's side is also qualified.

Otherwise, how could he have advocated appeasement of the Hu people in the north of Youzhou so that the State of Wei could devote its main energy to Guanzhong?

But in terms of leadership, it is a bit unbearable.

After Sima Yi took over Hebei, he asked him to skate his light and kneel with a letter.

Except for the serious shortage of troops in Youzhou, it is not enough to fight against Sima Yi's army.

On the other hand, he himself has no ability to lead troops at all.

If Sima Yi did not send reinforcements in this Hebei battle, it would be more important to say that General Guan came forward, the Xianbei people alone would be enough to break through the Youzhou Pass.

Wang Xiong, who knew his own abilities, not only did not resist the fact that the people sent by Sima Yi to control the military power of Youzhou, but instead took the initiative to actively raise food and grass for the army.

Juyong Pass, as the most important pass in Youzhou, is also the closest pass to the capital of Ji County in Youzhou Prefecture. Wang Xiong even personally escorted food and grass from time to time.

This time, I happened to encounter the Xianbei people siege the city.

However, Xian Yufu did not show a hint of happiness when he said something slightly complimenting to Wang Xiong.

He turned around and whispered to Wang Xiong:

"The envoy, the Xianbei Hu'er was exterminated and his courage was lost. According to Hu'er who fled into Senei, the Han army on the grasslands ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands."

"Yi Fu's opinion, hundreds of thousands are too exaggerated, and hundreds of thousands are hard to say, but there must be tens of thousands, otherwise how can hundreds of thousands of tribes be destroyed just by saying that they are destroyed?"

"And over the past few months, these Hu'ers who should have been scared have been able to come to attack the city repeatedly, and have been defeated repeatedly without fleeing. This only means that someone has reorganized them."

When Wang Xiong heard this, he immediately understood: "Han Army?"

Xian Yufu nodded with a heavy expression:

"It just so happened that the Han army on the grassland is quite different."

When Wang Xiong heard this, his expression became ugly.

Only heard Xian Yufu continue:

"And such a large number of Han troops have only made the timid Hu Er forcibly attack the city for several months. He has been hiding behind him and not showing up, but I am afraid that the goal is quite large."

As he said that, his voice subconsciously became a little low, "So, it is thought that these Xianbei Hushangs were just used by the Han army to attack and attract our attention."

His eyes looked north again.

General Suiguo, who had always maintained a calm image in front of the soldiers, finally showed a look of worry in front of Wang Xiong:

"Behind this, there must be a bigger conspiracy, but I can't be sure where their real intention is..."

No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!

Wang Xiong also looked outside Juyong Pass and asked softly:

"Can't you send scouts out of the frontier to investigate?"

Xian Yufu shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"I am not afraid of the envoys laughing at me. My scouts of the Great Wei, whether they are horses or equipment, are far inferior to those of the scouts of the Han army. Therefore, the two encounters mostly because the scouts of the Great Wei are defeated."

"It would be fine if we were closer to the army. If we were far away, we would mostly go but never return."

He pointed to the outside of the Pass, "I don't know how many enemy troops are hidden outside this Pass, if you go out rashly, it will be a waste of your life."

Although there are nearly 200,000 people in Hebei now, Xian Yufu knows that nearly half of them are actually rushing to recruit people, all of whom are just counting.

No matter how fierce the people in Yan are, the people who are temporarily gathered cannot be compared with well-trained elite soldiers.

Luoyang has been lost, and Hanoi is facing an enemy and needs heavy troops to guard it.

The enemy chief Feng Bids personally led a large army to attack Jingxing. Although Taihang Xing Road was dangerous, the reputation of this bandit was enough to allow half of the Hebei army to guard against him.
To be continued...
