Jizhou, Zhangwu.

The Zhangshui River originates from the Taihang Mountains, passes through Zhangwu from the south, and enters the Bohai Sea in the north. There are a large number of grassy fields near the place where the Zhangshui River enters the sea.

This vast wilderness is now the horse-grazing ground for the Jin army in Youzhou. Thousands of horses are leisurely grazing on the grass and vegetation beside the Zhangshui River with rich water and grass.

Duan Wenyuan, Duan Shujun, Duan Xiu, and Duan Mobo were gathering under a big tree to drink together.

As the four youngest and bravest men of the Xianbei Duan tribe, they led their respective tribes to leave their hometown in western Liaoning and entered Jizhou in February.

In the past few years, the cavalry of the Xianbei Duan tribe, as an important reinforcement for Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, have entered the Central Plains several times as Wang Jun's mercenaries, and each time they looted very rich sums.

Especially when they invaded Yecheng, Hebei Province more than a year ago, they not only robbed countless silks, gold and silver, but also robbed eight thousand women returning to the north. Unfortunately, when they reached Yishui, Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, was afraid of Duan

The tribe will multiply and grow rapidly after having these 8,000 women, so Wang Jun strictly ordered Duan's soldiers to let go of these 8,000 women. Duan Ji, the leader of the army, and his family members were so angry that they ordered the tribe to throw all the 8,000 innocent Han women into the army.

In the rolling Yishui River, the Jin people who lived by the Yishui River in the next few years did not dare to fish for food.

The Duan cavalry entered Jizhou this time to help quell the rebellion of Gongshifan, an old subordinate of King Sima Ying of Chengdu. However, by the time they first entered Jizhou, Gongshifan had already been defeated and fled south.

All of a sudden, these Duanbu Xianbei people were left with nothing to grab. Jizhou had been ruined by years of war, and the Duanbu gained nothing this time.

For more than a month, these Duan Xianbei people have been stranded in Zhangwu, Jizhou.

"The summer in Jizhou is so damn hot, it makes me dizzy at night, but it's cooler here in western Liaoning."

Duan Shujun was shirtless and complained, and sweat broke out on his young face.

"Yeah, I've been here for a few months and I haven't even grabbed a single feather. I might as well go back to Liaoxi as early as possible."

Duan Xiu, the youngest, agreed, then picked up a glass of ice-cold plum wine and drank it down.

"Let's wait and see. Since Wang Jun didn't let us go back to western Liaoning, there must be places where we need to contribute."

Duan Wenyuan, as the most experienced of the four, had previously joined forces with the Wuwan people to enter Luoyang and sack Yecheng, and Duan Wenyuan had participated in it.

"What if the Yuwen Ministry takes advantage of our stay in the Central Plains and sends troops to attack us."

Duan Mobo said with some worry.

Although Yuwen, Duan and Murong are all Eastern Xianbei, Xianbei itself is just a general name.

The leader of the Duan tribe, Duan, was from Xianbei, but the tribe under his command was very diverse, including Xianbei, Wuwan, Huns, and even Jin people who fled to western Liaoning.

Although the Yuwen tribe is called Xianbei, it is actually a descendant of the Xiongnu, and most of the tribes it leads are the previous Huns. It is just that after the decline of the Xiongnu Chan Yuting and the rise of Xianbei, the name was changed. The head of the Yuwen tribe

Customs such as shaving hair are very different from those of Duan Bu and Murong.

The Murong tribe now lives in Liaodong, and its current power is the weakest among the three tribes.

The Yuwen tribe lives in the grasslands of the upper reaches of the Liao River, and often conflicts with the Duan tribe and the Murong tribe. However, in recent years, the Duan tribe has relied on Wang Jun and obtained a large number of sophisticated weapons and equipment, which has made the Yuwen tribe become more honest.

"Mo Bodi, don't worry. It would be great if our Duanbu don't go to Yuwen Kuntouman to cause trouble. How many of them have the guts to come to Liaoxi?"

Duan Wenyuan was not worried at all about Yu Wenbu.

Duan Bu received a large amount of food, weapons, armor and cloth from Youzhou. In recent years, his army and horses have become stronger, and his population has grown rapidly. Now Duan Bu has a population of more than 30,000, and more than 40,000 people who control strings, which is far from the Yuwen Department.

This kind of prairie barbarian who can't even get enough armor can't be compared.

The Yuwen tribe gnawed grass roots on the grassland every day. Apart from joining forces with Goguryeo to rob the weaker Murong tribe, there was no way they could touch the Duan tribe.

The four of them continued to drink and talk, listening to Duan Wenyuan boasting that Yecheng was prosperous and prosperous before, with mountains of treasures and silks, and even the women in the Jin city were fragrant. Unfortunately, all the eight thousand women were drowned in Yishui. Of course.

Duan Wenyuan didn't regret the death of eight thousand women, but regretted not being able to bring them back to Duan Bu's brothers to see them.

Just when the four of them were drinking to their heart's content, a cavalryman from the Duan tribe galloped towards them and jumped down when he got close.

"Master, an envoy from the King's Governor has arrived and is waiting for you at the camp."

This riding slave from Duan tribe said to the general Duan Wenyuan.

As soon as they heard that an envoy from Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, had arrived, Duan Wenyuan and the other two hurriedly returned to camp.

After arriving at the camp, the four of them saw that the envoy who came was the son-in-law of Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, who often served Zaosong as a casual rider.

Duan Wenyuan and the other two hurriedly and respectfully greeted Zao Song as juniors.

Zaosong responded with a slight embarrassment.

Duan Wenyuan's father, Duan Wuwuchen, the leader of the Duan tribe, was not only the Duke of Western Liaoning and the Great Chanyu of Xianbei granted by the Jin court, but also the son-in-law of Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, and a sister of Zaosong's wife, Wang Shao. A few years ago

Married to Duan Wuwuchen, Zaosong is still Duan Wuwuchen's brother-in-law.

"Uncle" Zao Song then announced the order he had brought to Duan Wenyuan and his nephews. Wang Jun ordered Duan Wenyuan and others to prepare for the attack. Three days later, Wang Jun's general Ningbei General Wang Hu led 10,000 Youzhou

The army arrived, and when the time came, they gathered together and were led by Ningbei General Wang Hu. They marched to Qingzhou to attack Liu Bogen, the Donglai bandit who occupied Linzi.

After listening to the order brought by Zao Song, Duan Wenyuan and the other two were all excited. They had long heard that Qingzhou was rich and prosperous, and Linzi was not inferior to Ye City. Now they finally had the opportunity to grab a goodhold of the colorful world of Qingzhou.

.

Duan Wenyuan and the other two hurriedly sent their respective cavalry to summon Duan's soldiers and horses who were scattered around.

······

Dongguan County, Linqu City.

Liu Yu's Donglai Army began to leave Linqu City in a long queue. Everyone's luggage was full. There were many cattle, horses and vehicles in the queue, and they were also piled with food.

Different from the previous failure in Guang County, this time Liu Yu led the Donglai Army to gain a lot in Linqu.

Because the fleeing soldiers and people in Guangxian County all fled to Taishan County in the southwest, Linqu in the southeast of Guangxian County had no early warning of enemy attacks ahead.

When Liu Yu led the forward 200 cavalry to arrive, the defenders in Linqu City even thought that these troops wearing Jin army armor and uniforms came from the Jin army, so they did not even close the city gate.

After Liu Yuqi approached the city gate, he suddenly broke out and solved the defenders of the city gate, seized the city gate, and then repelled several counterattacks by the Jin soldiers in Linqu with only 200 men. He waited until the large troops behind arrived.

At that time, the Jin troops in the city fled one after another and surrendered.
