The noisy battlefield fell silent.

In the dim light of morning, thick lead-colored mist-like gunpowder smoke, with a nauseating smell of blood, suppressed the empty northern plains.

A bunch of curled up, or mutilated, bloody corpses were lying on top of each other in the most cruel and natural postures on the grass that had been trampled down.

.

Mixed with the broken limbs and internal organs, the bloody dead horse, the flying battle flag...

The most eye-catching thing is the Jingguan built with human heads in the center of the corpse.

The dead soldiers opened their eyes angrily, not sure whether it was because they refused to die in silence or because they were blaming the enemy for their cruelty.

The eagles pecking at the carcasses were flying in in groups, and large swaths of black crows were making endless noises.

Even though a day and night had passed since the fighting, the strong smell of blood still seemed to permeate the entire wilderness, too strong to be resolved.

When Bi Gui saw the shocking sight in front of him, his eyes bulged out like dead fish eyes, and his face began to turn pale.

He was not uncomfortable because of the tragic scene in front of him.

After all, he had been a governor on the border for several years.

The reason why he looked like this was because the two generals Su Shang and Dong Bi died in battle.

Their heads were specially hung on the flagpole by the Hu people and placed in front of the Beijing Temple, making them very eye-catching.

completely annihilated!

The horse cannot return!

Bi Gui's eyes were blank, and he only felt his forehead rumbling.

"Your Majesty, the slut is cruel and insults the soldiers so much that we can't wait to rush to the building and slaughter them all!"

When the generals of the Wei army saw the scene in front of them, their eyes were filled with tears and they all asked for battle.

"Who? Who? Who?"

Bi Gui murmured.

The front army he sent was Bingzhou Jingqi.

Now that all the fine cavalry are gone, the only ones left are the conscripted barbarian cavalry.

The Hu people are inherently changeable. Under the current circumstances, it is hard to say whether the Hu Qi on our side will be shaken in military morale...

Thinking of this, Bi Gui suddenly woke up.

"How far is this place from Loufan?"

"Less than thirty miles."

"Quick, quick, pick up the wreckage and retreat!"

After all, Bi Gui became famous at a young age and served as the governor of Bingzhou for several years.

He is just arrogant, not stupid.

After leaving the pass, there are not enough cavalry, and it is just a dream to fight with the barbarians.

Now that all the fine cavalry has been lost, I heard that the barbarians are still gathering on the building in front. Without the barrier to support them, it will most likely be my turn to be wiped out by then.

"retreat?"

The generals of the Wei army were all surprised.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to retreat?"

"I'm afraid there's an ambush in the building." Bi Gui urged, "Hurry and clear up!"

After observing the expression on the commander's face, all the generals knew that he had lost his courage.

I couldn't help but feel a little disdainful:

It was you who insisted on going out to pursue the enemy, but now that the barbarians are right in front of you, you are the one who tried to retreat!

However, Wei's law was strict and Bi Gui was the commander. Although the generals were unwilling to do so, they were not slow and quickly buried the bodies.

Then he hurriedly retreated to the pass.

On the second day, Kebi Neng personally led more than ten thousand riders to Loufan.

When he learned that the Wei army had retreated, he couldn't help but regretfully said to his son:

"What a pity! If he stays for one more day and joins the state's army, they will all be destroyed by me."

"Even if I can't enter the fortress during the introduction, I can still plunder the money and silk women from Bingzhou and make them mine."

Ke Bineng's son looked ashamed:

"What you are trying to teach me is that I am too impatient."

"I don't mean to say that you are wrong, but I just feel sorry for you. You did a good job this time. Not only did the Han people become frightened and flee in panic, but it also shocked Bu Dugen."

In June of the 11th year of Jianxing's reign, Bi Gui, the governor of Bingzhou, took advantage of the situation and advanced aggressively. The pursuing troops he sent were killed by Ke Bineng's son in the Loufan area, and the entire army was wiped out.

Even the two generals Su Shang and Dong Bi died in battle, and their horses were not allowed to return.

Bi Gui was frightened and retreated to the pass.

After this battle, Bu Dugen finally made up his mind to join Kebineng.

After merging Budugen's tribe, Kebineng's power reached its peak from Shanggu County in the east (near Zhangjiakou, Hebei) to Jiuyuan's hometown (Hetao area) in the west.

Although Bi Gui led the army back to the fortress in time, Kebineng did not intend to stop there.

In addition, Bu Dugen has stayed in Bingzhou for many years and is very familiar with the geography of Bingzhou.

Under the leadership of Bu Dugen, Kebi was able to lead 30,000 fine cavalry to plunder the borders of Bingzhou.

For a time, war broke out in Bingzhou, and the border officials were miserable.

Bi Gui was not good at leading an army, and with the loss of all the fine cavalry in Bingzhou, there was no way to stop Ke Bineng's plunder.

As a last resort, he could only ask Luoyang for help.

When the urgent report from Bingzhou was sent to Luoyang, Cao Rui was furious and threw Bi Gui's memorial away.

Jiang Ji, the Central Protector, came out to impeach and said:

"Bi Gui first suffered the defeat of Loufan, and then failed to protect Bingzhou. If he were allowed to continue to be the governor of Bingzhou, he might lose the hope of the officials."

"All talents have their own strengths and weaknesses, and cannot be forced to succeed. They are elegant and determined, and are beautiful in their own right. However, they are not talented in politics, and they are not capable of leading an army."

"If you don't let him live in a prominent position, don't destroy his virtue, and do good to the country. The key to this safety can only be observed by the Holy Grace."

It is recommended that Bi Gui be transferred back to the central government and not be allowed to hold a post.

Cao Rui was already dissatisfied with Bi Gui because of the flashy case, so he asked after hearing this:

"Then who can serve as the governor of Bingzhou?"

"In the past, there was Qian Zijing in Bingzhou who was appointed as the school captain to protect Xianbei, and there was no chaos among the barbarians in the territory. Not long after Qian Zijing left, the barbarians started to cause chaos."

"Tian Guoyi and Lianzi Jing are both famous in the land of Youbin. It would be better to let Tian Guo give way to them."

The so-called Qianzi Jing is Qianzhao, who passed away the year before last.

Tian Guorang was Tian Yu who was excluded from Youzhou by the governor of Youzhou.

Cao Rui hesitated slightly after hearing this suggestion.

The reason why Tian Yu was transferred out of Youzhou back then was because he used many troops against the Hu people, which caused unrest on the border.

If he is made the governor of Bingzhou, how can people be reassured?

Because there were suggestions before recruiting students:

The Shu invaders have the intention to invade the Central Plains, and Ke Bi Neng has the intention to go south. We must be careful to guard against the two joining forces to attack Wei.

After the First World War in Xiaoguan, Feng Thief's reputation became more and more popular.

According to detailed research, there are many Hu people in Liangzhou who obey his orders.

Bingzhou is not far from Guanzhong.

Thinking of this, Cao Rui felt more and more that what Qianzhao saw was actually far-reaching.

It's a pity that such talents can no longer guard the border for Wei!

Thinking of this, Cao Rui let out a long sigh:

"What's urgent now is that Ke Bi can cause chaos in Bingzhou. If Bi Gui is transferred away at this time, I'm afraid Bingzhou will be even more chaotic."

"So what we need to do now is how to drive Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen away from Bingzhou and let the people of Bingzhou settle down."

Yang Ji, the leader of the Central Military Commission, came out of the queue and said:

"Kebi Neng and Bu Dugenxin merged with each other, but the people's hearts were not united. It was the right time to send out troops to defeat them. If we delay for too long and let the two of them unite, I am afraid that they will merge the two states for the sake of disaster."

"How could I not know? Who should lead the army?"

"I am willing to go."

Cao Rui forbids:

"This time when we lead the army to Bingzhou, we are only allowed to win and not lose. Although Yang Qing is leading the army, he has never led an army before. It is better to stay in Luoyang."

In fact, Yang Ji, like Bi Gui, was a scholar.

Now that Bi Gui was in trouble, Cao Rui was naturally worried about letting Yang Ji lead the army.

Jiang Ji stepped forward again:

"I am also willing to go."
