The Central Imperial Force rushed out of Xiaoguan at any time to head north. This is something that you can see with your eyes. In view of this, Qi Wannian's rebels were also prepared. The small rebel troops that were always eyeing Xiaoguan were no longer blocked outside the pass and looked at Guanzhong some time ago, but returned to the army to gather them and keep a safe distance and guarded.

Although Qi Wannian had nearly 60,000 troops, the lessons from the past were not far away. The original rebellion of the Tufa Shuji rebelled was much more powerful than that of him. Although the King of Runan sent a wave, he later became stronger and killed three governors of the Jin Dynasty in a row, which was enough to be called a tremendous power. Qi Wannian was far from this point.

Sima Ji was guessing Qi Wannian, and Qi Wannian also guessed Sima Ji's thoughts. Unfortunately, after guessing, it couldn't change a fact. This was the first time that the King of Yan came to Guanzhong. Qi Wannian knew too little news. Except for his age, everything else was passed down by word of mouth and his own brainstorming.

According to the tribe, it was divided into twelve armies. Sima Ji said that this division had a great disadvantage, but it would not hurt when he stood up and talked. He dared not say that all the imperial guards were from Jin, but most of them were all. Qi Wannian's tribes belonged to different forces. If the organization was really broken up, their combat effectiveness might not be as good as the tribal army. This is the innate disadvantage of the rebels. Now the King of Yan is preparing to try firepower against this pain point.

The next day, Meng Guan led 5,000 cavalry out of Xiaoguan and headed straight to the north. Before leaving, Sima Ji also explained why he did this. First of all, the cavalry is not easy to be annihilated. Secondly, the first battle must not be used to use too much force, because to win beauty, the later army will be given psychological comfort. Thirdly, the other party may run away, less than ten thousand people, and the other party may not be able to resist coming out for a while.

Sima Ji's final order was to pick out the Huns who beat them up and rebelled twice, and they must be used to establish their authority. Although the number of troops led by Meng Guan was small, they were elite soldiers selected by the Luoyang Imperial Army. The horses were strong and the strong teams were far from the depth of the superficial number.

King Yan didn't want to see that a person in history who faced Qi's consecutive victories in a row had a defeat in his own hands. He had been a teammate of Jia Nanfeng once and did not want to do it again.

Without the order from the King of Yan, Meng Guan was also holding on to make a contribution. He led five thousand cavalry to vanish in front of Xiaoguan Pass at lightning. The soldiers on the city could only see a stream of dust. When they looked at it again, the cavalry had no shadow.

Unlike the Xianbei people who finally bordered the Central Plains court, in the Jin Dynasty, whether it was the Di Qiang, the Xiongnu, Wuwan, or these weak tribes, most of their tribes had already been given the Han surname.

The same is true for Hao Du's tribe, and the Xianbei people now choose to name the name. After his brother failed to rebel, Hao Du traveled to the two prefectures of Yong and Qin. After he arrived along the way, he saw several abandoned cities occupied by Di people. After Qi Wannian started to power, he defected to his wings. The reason is very simple. Qi Wannian had more tribes than him, and the situation was stronger than others. It is easy to divide who is the leader and who is the second.

However, Hao Du's troops were still the same age as him. After a series of battles, Hao Du's troops have reached a scale of 10,000 people. Now Qi Wannian is very concerned about it. He wants to attack Xiaoguan as the vanguard. However, Xiaoguan is extremely difficult to conquer one of the four passes of Guanzhong. After the pass, there is also the King of Qin's Guanzhong army to respond at any time. Second, Luoyang reacted very quickly this time and did not send a wave of conventional operations to raise the rebels first, so he gave up.

After learning about the attack of the 5,000 imperial cavalry, Hao Du carefully judged it and felt that he had a great advantage. One, the number of imperial cavalry was not large, only five,000, and the other, the Huns had the tradition of riding horses. Although they had lost almost all of them over the years, their foundation was still there. If they could win the first battle, they could severely slapped the imperial cavalry.

Coincidentally, Meng Guan, who had just changed from a fifth-rank official to a general of the general of the Conquering the Enemy, thought about Hao Du in his heart. Hao Du wanted to use his head to embarrass the King of Yan, and he also wanted to use Hao Du's head to increase his title, with an astonishing goal.

Before finding Haodu's troops, Meng Guan had already tried his best. Along the way, he met a group of soldiers who made appetizers first. They were different from the Haodu brothers who were licking blood at the knife edge. Their condition was very average. On the contrary, the war horses first discovered the group of cavalry coming at a very fast speed, and they made extremely unpleasant neighing sounds. The soldiers woke up from the neighing sound of the horses. Before they had time to get ready, they started to get up with their swords and were quickly stabbed into candied haws by the imperial cavalry.

Within a few breaths, this riot soldier with less than a thousand people was half asleep and half awake, and was harvested by the Luoyang Imperial Army who was rushing to the night, which had the effect of enhancing Meng Guan's confidence. At this level, even if Hao Du's Hun tribe was strong, he would not be much stronger.

"I heard from the captured prisoners that Hao Du's troops are still fifty miles northwest, and there are many cavalrymen. If we know we are here, we may be on guard." Meng Guan's deputy general came over to report the report while rubbing the knife. Judging from the blood on the knife, killing prisoners after interrogation is definitely inevitable.

Meng Guan didn't care about such trivial matters, and such things were not uncommon in wars. He agreed with the words of the King of Yan. No matter what suffering these Hu people took this step, as long as they rebel, they would be treated as a rebel. It is normal to kill the three clans, what is the count of chopping the head?

"I believe Hao Du also knows that we are here. Although the cavalry is not easy to be surrounded, you should still be careful. In frontal combat, it doesn't matter if Hao Du's troops are at least a little bit too many. The most important thing is not to be ambushed." Meng Guan was silent for a moment and ordered, "If Hao Du asked for information and was ready to fight, I would never be afraid."

Sending a scout to reconnaise Hao Du's movements is naturally a must-have along the way, but he also knew that the role of a scout is very limited at the moment. After all, the scout's reconnaissance range is only three to five miles, and in some areas, it can be extended to a range of seven or eight miles, but it is already a little out of reach for targets ten miles away.

Meng Guan got this opportunity to quell the chaos, so of course he was willing to sacrifice his life for this, but he was never willing to choose to ambush, because this way he would only say that he was brave but not resourceful.

The scouts who returned the next day reported that Hao Du's troops were in a tendency to assemble. It seemed that they were preparing to face Meng Guan's imperial cavalry head-on. As more and more scouts came back, their purpose became extremely obvious. Hao Du was preparing to rely on double the strength to face Meng Guan's head-on battle. Without further ado, Meng Guan immediately decided to lead his army to fight.
