Now it seems that this so-called northern Xiongnu is loyal to the Wei thieves...

Just when the Northern Commander of the Xiongnu in the north tried to block the Han army's march southward by himself, the 5,000 Wei army who had just left the city were called back to Jinyang in time.

After the somewhat baffled Wei general learned about the situation he was facing, he immediately suggested to Bi Gui:

"Your Majesty, there is a mountain range in the north of Jinyang. The locals call it Tieling. It is the only way to go south from Jiuyuan County to Jinyang."

"The terrain there is dangerous, with mountains on the left and ravines on the right. Thousands of people are guarding it, and tens of thousands cannot pass."

"The thieves are strong now, but we have few soldiers. Moreover, Jinyang is a big city. It can be said that the city is big but the soldiers are few. This is a big taboo in defending the city!"

"Therefore, instead of defending the city, it is better to defend the mountain passes and resist the enemy."

When Bi Gui heard this, he subconsciously looked at Li Xi.

Li Xi pondered, but looked at General Wei:

"General Sima, as far as I know, there is a valley to the west of Tieling. You can bypass Tieling and go straight to Jinyang. What if the Shu captives don't attack Tieling but bypass the valley?"

"This is easy to handle!" The general of the Wei army was surnamed Sima, and his given name was Huan. He was from Hanoi. It is said that he had some relationship with the Sima family in Hanoi.

But seeing that he seemed to be prepared, he replied, "Hasn't the envoy already ordered the Huns to come to Jinyang?"

"Hu'er can't defend the city. Instead of letting them station outside the city, it's better to let them guard in the river valley. Although the river valley is flat, it is not very wide."

"No matter how powerful the Shu captives are, it will be difficult for them to expand in the river valley, and Hu'er has a large number of people, so they can take turns to fight."

"I don't want to be able to block the Shu captives, but I want to be able to drag them until the imperial court sends reinforcements. That will be enough!"

It didn't sound like there was anything wrong with it, so Li Xi nodded subconsciously.

Bi Gui only said that he had agreed, and he quickly raised his palms and said happily:

"We all want to merge the mountains and rivers inside and outside the state. So what if the Shu captives took advantage of me and captured Yanmen? Let's see how he breaks through the Tieling barrier."

Make arrangements immediately.

Sima Huan led 5,000 Wei troops to Tieling, but they had not yet set up camp.

Hu people from the north flocked here, all wanting to go south to Jinyang from Tieling.

Sima Huan immediately had people block the passage, not allowing anyone to pass.

The Hu people who fled south had no choice but to gather at the foot of Tieling. Some shouted, some cursed, and some begged, asking the defenders to open the passage.

Sima Huan was not moved at all, and even ordered that anyone who dared to cross the border would be shot with arrows and crossbows.

Only a few Hu people went around the river valley.

When the Hu people at the foot of Tieling learned about this passage and turned towards the valley, the Huns in the central area closest to Jinyang had already reached the mouth of the valley in the south.

Neither the Xiutu tribe nor the Xianbei Hu tribe had any friendship with the four Xiongnu tribes, so how could they disobey Bi Gui's order and secretly let the fleeing people go south?

At that moment, the Hu people who fled south were forced to retreat.

After listening to the reports from the spies who were among the Hu people fleeing south, Shi Bao said with some worry:

"General, it seems that the Wei thieves are well prepared!"

General Guan said "hmm" and looked steadily at Tieling in front of him.

Suddenly he ordered:

"Release that northern commander, as well as all those barbarian generals, and let them go to Tieling to call the pass and try out the attitude of the Wei thieves."

"Ah? General, let them all go? General, you don't want to borrow their names anymore?"

Shi Bao was a little surprised.

It would be okay if he was like that Xie Gui Ni. Regardless of whether he wanted it in his heart or not, at least on the surface he was surrendering to the big man.

Now Huo Yi can use the name of Lord Xianbei to continuously recruit the Xianbei barbarians in Yanmen County, and at the same time collect some supplies.

But in the battle of Jiuyuan County, the Huns and barbarians who were improvised together were not enough in number.

Even war horses are no match for the Xianbei people of Yanmen. How can they be the match for the cavalry led by General Guan?

After half a day, the Huns in Jiuyuan County were defeated. Even their commanders were captured by the army without even being able to escape.

As for the horses abandoned by the Huns, many were sent to the stomachs of the army officers and soldiers.

Shi Bao thought that General Guan would borrow the title of the Xiongnu Commander-in-Chief like he did at Yanmen.

"Yes, let them all go, there is no use keeping them."

General Guan nodded, "His tribes are all in Jiuyuan County. They are running away now and are scattered. There is nothing to be afraid of."

"Here."

After the northern commander of the Xiongnu was captured, he was detained in the army for two days. He only thought that he was going to be used by the Han army to sacrifice the flag, but he did not expect to escape death.

After the Han soldier untied the hemp rope from his body, he just raised his chin, not even bothering to say anything, signaling that he could get out.

The commander-in-chief didn't even dare to say anything, for fear that the other party would regret it. He hurriedly ran away with several of his subordinates without even looking at the direction.

I don’t know how long I ran, but I met some tribesmen who fled south one after another on the road, and then I understood the direction I was going.

At that moment, he and several generals gathered some tribesmen, and then they got some food, and then they continued to flee until they reached the foot of Tieling.

After learning that the commander-in-chief had returned, all the Huns and barbarians around Tieling gathered there on their own initiative, hoping that the commander-in-chief could lead them through Tieling.

After recruiting many tribesmen's commanders, I gained some confidence.

At that moment, he went to the foot of the mountain in person. After announcing his identity, he shouted:

"I beg the general, for the sake of me and my clan to protect the imperial court from enemies, please let me go..."

Before he finished speaking, a faint thunder suddenly came from the distance.

Sima Huan on Tieling had no time to answer Bei Shuai's words. His eyes were already tightly attracted by Bei Bei.

The black cavalry was surging in from all directions, constantly driving the barbarians around Tieling and squeezing them in this direction.

"Lead your tribe out of here quickly!"

Sima Huan's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly shouted sharply at Bei Shuai, who was at the foot of the mountain.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Commander Zuo Bu naturally couldn't see what was happening in the distance.

He still wanted to continue shouting, but Sima Huan had no time to argue with him, so he directly asked someone to set up a bow and shoot:

"If you don't get out, I'll kill you on the spot!"

Seeing Sima Huan being so inhumane, the Northern Commander, even though he was a clay figure, was very angry:

I led my tribe and worked hard to help you stop the enemy in the north, but in the end I was treated like this?

Just looking at the gleaming arrow on the ridge, he could only grit his teeth and turn around angrily. After walking a few steps, he suddenly froze:

Where did this thunder come from?

No, this is the sound of horse hooves!

Sima Huan on the mountain looked at the barbarians outside who had no way to escape. They were squeezing toward him in a confused and ignorant manner, like the surface of a lake beginning to ripple.

His face looked angry and miserable, and it took him a long time to squeeze out two words from between his teeth:
Chapter completed!
