Jiang Wei, Lu Xun, and Zhang Shao stood on the hill.

A narrow valley formed between the mountain where they are and the hilltop opposite.

In the valley, some Wei soldiers were busy with something.

Looking at the soldiers busy in the valley, Zhang Shao asked Jiang Wei: "General Jiang got so many landmines, can he really intercept and kill King Youguli? Why do I feel that the number of landmines seems to be insufficient?"

"The number of mines is indeed insufficient." Jiang Wei said confidently: "I don't expect the mines to bring them much damage."

When he came here, Jiang Wei had ordered the soldiers to prepare wood and oil on the hills.

In addition, there are many huge rocks. As long as the King Youguli leads the Huns, the falling rock will immediately block the retreat of the valley. In addition, the falling rocks on the other end of the valley will also block their way forward.

The role of landmines is nothing more than to make the Huns mess up.

As long as the Huns were in chaos, the Wei army had enough time to ignite the rolling wood and oil pushed down from the hills.

"We are here to set up defenses. If King Youguli rushed from the other three valleys to Yunzhong, I am afraid that it would be impossible to change the defense in time." Lu Xun asked Jiang Wei: "How can Boyue determine that the Huns will definitely take this path?"

"I have made arrangements for each of the other three valleys." Jiang Wei replied: "When the Huns come, they will find ambushing there. Although the King of Youguli is not very smart, Yu Yan led the Huns into the ambush, and I am afraid that it will not be possible. Only this road seems to have not set up an ambush, or there is no ambush at all. If I were leading the army, I would probably choose this path to move forward."

"If he does the opposite, Boyue will have to bear this time." Lu Xun said: "Or might as well send some troops to guard the other three valleys..."

"No need to send people out, just arrange some scouts." Jiang Wei replied: "We should focus all our energy on this valley. Only by concentrating superior forces can we defeat the Huns. If there are too few people and horses, we cannot be opponents of the Huns at all."

Lu Xun and Zhang Shao both nodded. Although they were still confused about Jiang Wei's deployment, they did not ask any more questions.

Jiang Wei, Lu Xun, and Zhang Shao led his troops to intercept the Xiongnu King Youguli. At the same time, the Zuoguli King who was stationed in Chengle received news that Yunzhong City was besieged.

Liu Meng is in Yunzhong City, and his troops are the weakest among the three groups of people. If you are not careful, the Wei army will break through the city...

He is not only the Zuoxian King of the Huns, but also the eldest son of the Huns. If there is any mistake, King Zuo Guli will not be able to afford it...

Upon hearing that Yunzhongcheng was surrounded by the Wei army, King Zuo Guli quickly summoned all the leaders under his command to discuss countermeasures.

In the front hall of Chengle's official palace, King Zuo Guli sat on the upper head, and his leader was sitting on both sides of the front hall.

The leaders' eyes gathered on the face of King Zuo Guli.

Looking around the leaders, Zuo Guli King said, "I got the news that Cao Yuanchang had led his troops across Baiqu and besieged Yunzhong City. You all know that there were not many warriors in Yunzhong City. If You Guli and I did not go to help, it would be only a day or so that the city would be broken."

"What the king means is we want to go to rescue?" asked a leader.

"Of course we have to go to rescue." King Zuo Guli said: "If we don't go, if King Zuo Xian makes a mistake, when he returns to the royal court, not only will my head on the neck be cut off by the Great Shanyu, but your life will be difficult."

Liu Meng is the eldest son of Qubei. If he really falls into Yunzhong City, Qubei will definitely be angry with King Guli.

As the tribes of the two Guli Kings, the leaders of course knew what the consequences would be.

The leader sitting was very serious. Someone asked King Zuo Guli, "How do you plan to rescue him? The number of Wei soldiers is also quite large. With our team, it is unlikely that they will be able to defeat them. Even if you count the Zuo Xianwang in the city, it is still hard to say whether he can defeat the Wei army."

"We actually knew that the Wei army was strong many years ago." King Zuo Guli said: "The Emperor of the Great Wei army led his troops into Hetao. Our Huns warriors tried their best to resist, but they were not their opponents at all. Many warriors died in battle when fighting the Wei army. The Great Huns warriors were fragile and vulnerable in front of the Wei army. But we cannot dare to be enemies because the Wei army is too strong. The more we are afraid of them, the more we have no chance of winning when facing the Wei army."

All the leaders nodded, and someone said, "Last time they fought with the Wei army, they used a killing weapon called cannon, but our warriors suffered a lot."

"The cannons are difficult to deal with, of course I know very well." When talking about the cannons, King Zuo Guli's face became solemn again. He said to the leaders: "The Jie people wanted to deal with the cannons of the Wei army, but they never succeeded. In the end, they ended up with an extinction of the clan and the race. I think we just need to retreat when we encountered the cannons of the Wei army. As for how to destroy their cannons, we still need to consider carefully."

The leaders agreed with King Zuo Guli.

Having seen the power of cannons, many leaders never want to meet such killing weapons on the battlefield again in their lives.

However, they also knew very well that what weapons the Wei army used on the battlefield had nothing to do with whether they wanted or not.

Cao Heng believed that the need to put cannons on the battlefield, and the Huns would withstand the bombardment of cannons.

Since there was no good way to deal with cannons, the Huns could do it, and they just waited until the Wei army cannons fired and they retreated immediately.

His eyes fell on the face of one of the leaders, and King Zuo Guli asked him: "How many warriors are there in your men?"

The leader who was asked by him replied: "There are more than 5,000 warriors in our clan."

"I'll hand Cheng Le to you, can you keep it?" King Zuo Guli asked again.

The leader replied: "The Wei army besieged Yunzhong, and there must be not many people near Chengle. Five thousand warriors guard Chengle, which is definitely more than enough."

"Since you are sure to guard Chengle, I will hand over the city to you, and the others will go to Yunzhong City with me to help Zuo Xian King." King Zuo Guli said, "You have also said that five thousand people are more than enough to guard Chengle. If you lose the city, be careful of your head."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm still alive, Chengle will never be lost." The leader replied: "Even if I die, my tribe members will definitely guard the king's return."

King Zuo Guli nodded, stood up and said to the leaders present, "Tell me the order, the warriors are ready to go to the war immediately, and we will go to help King Zuo Xian."

The leaders stood up and took the order.

Two or three hours later, the gate of Chengle City opened, and King Zuo Guli led the Huns to drive out of the city.

Before the Huns had completely opened out of the city, Ling Tong, who was sitting on a large stone in a mountain nest not far from Chengle, got the news.

A Wei army scout stood facing Ling Tong.

After listening to the scout's report, Ling Tong asked him: "How many troops did King Zuo Guli lead out of the city?"

"Report to the general." The scout replied: "He took all the Huns out, leaving only a small number of people to guard the city. The Huns who guard Chengle would definitely not exceed five thousand."

Tong Ling waved his hands and signaled the scout to retreat: "Continue to investigate and make sure to thoroughly understand the movements of the Huns."

The scout took the order and left, and Tong Ling asked someone to invite the deputy general to the front.

The deputy general came and gave a big gift to Ling Tong and asked, "I heard that the general is looking for me?"

"King Zuo Guli has left the city." Ling Tong asked the deputy general: "There are 5,000 Huns who left behind to guard the city, which is not much different from ours. Without cannons, we cannot collapse the city wall. The only way is to fight with the flesh and blood of the soldiers. What do you think we should be able to snatch Cheng Le from the hands of the Huns?"

The deputy general replied: "The five thousand Huns are not a big deal for the soldiers of Feixiong Camp. This battle is not just a matter of the number of people, which can be judged by whom they win or lose. However, forcibly siege the city, our army will definitely suffer a great loss. I think if we attack the city, the soldiers should take down the city gate first at night. After seizing the city gate, Feixiong Camp will kill them into the city. The Huns are just a group of lambs to be slaughtered."

Tong Ling nodded and ordered the deputy general: "I will lead three hundred soldiers to capture the city gate. You will lead the rest of the soldiers to wait outside the city. When we take the city gate, you will lead the troops and rush in."

Ling Tong wanted to lead troops to seize the city gate himself, and the deputy general hurriedly said: "The general is the head general of Feixiong Camp, and the soldiers all looked at the general. I think it is better for me to lead people to seize the city gate. The general will lead the soldiers into the city..."

"I have decided, don't argue with me anymore." Ling Tong said: "Just just lead the soldiers outside the city to wait. Once the city gate is opened, immediately lead people into the city."

"Do you want to wait one more day?" Ling Tong said this to this point. Of course, the deputy general did not dare to argue with him anymore and asked him.

"Why have to wait one more day?" Ling Tong asked in confusion.

"As soon as King Zuo Guli left, our army launched an attack on the city. If he came back..." The deputy general raised his concerns.

Ling Tong said: "This kind of worry is completely unnecessary. It is the morning and we must be sieging the city at night. Not to mention whether King Zuo Guli will get the news, even if he gets the news, when he turns back, we have already taken the city into his hands. With the ability of the soldiers of the Feixiong Camp, I don't believe that we can't defeat the five thousand Huns within a few hours."

The deputy general replied: "Although the soldiers of Feixiong Camp have always been strong, there are five thousand Huns in the city. Not all the Huns use straw, so we still have to be more cautious."

"What you said is somewhat reasonable." Ling Tong nodded: "What the prince wants is that we will take Chengle, and he did not force the order to take down the city. It is indeed safer to wait for the day."

"I will tell the soldiers now that they will prepare early and follow the general to attack the city tomorrow." The side general bowed and said, "I will arrange everything first."

"Go." Ling Tong nodded.

After leaving, he stood up, greeted two soldiers from Feixiong Camp and walked towards the hillside on one side.

The hillside was not very high, and it didn't take long for him to reach the top of the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the joy in the distance.

King Zuo Guli had already led the Hun army to leave Chengle City and headed to Baiqu.

Looking from the top of the mountain, Ling Tong could vaguely see the Hun army heading far away.

Cao Heng once told him that once King Zuo Guli sent troops, he would take down Cheng Le from behind, so that the Huns would have nowhere to return after being blocked from Baiqu.

Without Cheng Le, he could not retreat to Hetao. The only way to surrender to Huchuquan was left in front of King Zuo Guli.

However, the deputy general reminded him is correct.

King Zuo Guli left shortly after he seized Cheng Le at this time, once the news reached the ears of the Huns, even if the city was in hand, it would be difficult to defend the city before it was ready for defense. The best way was to wait for the Huns army to go a little further and the Huns in the city suddenly attacked when they were not prepared for it.

At that time, after capturing the city, the Huns returned to attack Cheng Le, and he and Feixiong Camp were also ready to defend themselves.

With the elite of the Feixiong Camp soldiers and the strong city defense, it was almost impossible for King Zuo Guli to take back the city.

The Huns who left the city were getting further and further away. Ling Tong knew very well that he would wait for another day. On the next night, he would lead the soldiers of the Feixiong Camp to capture Cheng Le. The Wei army went out of the pass to fight against Liu Meng, which was officially entering the offensive stage.

King Zuo Guli led the Hun army to leave Chengle, and Ling Tong was still waiting for the opportunity to attack. On the north bank of Baiqu, Hu Chuquan and Wenyang rode together to look at the south bank.

"I heard that King Zuo Guli was leading the Hun army to come here. What are the plans of the Great Shanyu?" Wen Yang asked.

Hu Chuquan replied: "The Emperor and the Crown Prince of the Great Wei treat me well, but they always think about destroying me. I can't let him succeed no matter what. When King Zuo Guli comes, I am willing to be the vanguard, and the general just needs to support me behind his back."

Wen Yang had no intention of leading the soldiers of the Great Wei as the main attacker. Hu Chuquan said that he was willing to be the vanguard. Wen Yang replied: "It's better for the Great Shanyu to be the vanguard. It just so happened that the Huns knew who the real Shanyu was. The prince asked me to come and assist the Shanyu. In this battle, we must completely wipe out the troops of the Xiongnu King Zuo Guli to be considered a success."

"General Wen said it well." Hu Chuquan replied: "Don't worry, General. I will never let the prince down, nor will I leave even half a warrior back for you."

In order to fight against the enemy, Hu Chuquan and the interests of the Great Wei are consistent, Wen Yang is not worried about what actions he will do behind his back.

Looking at the south bank of Baiqu, Wen Yang nodded and said, "The prince believes in the Great Shanyu, but I have no reason to believe it. When we defeat King Zuo Guli, then we go to Yunzhong and defeat Liu Meng and King You Guli, the Great Shanyu should have enough troops to compete with Gou Bei. Isn't it easy to attack Gou Bei?"

"Thank you, General Wen, for your good words." Hu Chuquan bowed to Wen Yang and said, "I will never let the prince down."
