Chapter 460 Alienation

After three days of hard fighting, Zhang Liao plotted against the head general Zuo and several tens of thousands of cavalry commanders in one fell swoop. After succeeding, he did not give the Huns a chance to breathe. Not only did he defeat this army and kill countless soldiers, but he also detoured north at dusk that day, attacked Dian Wei at Beishankou, breaking another group of people and horses until nightfall, and countless deaths and injuries of the Huns and Qiang people.

At this point, most of the 54,000 Xiongnu and Qiang soldiers in the Nanyang Mountain area collapsed, leaving only two small groups of soldiers, less than 10,000. Several lieutenants were recruited to seize the mountain pass and guarded them.

Zhang Liao did not attack the two groups of Xiongnu and Qiang soldiers anymore, but ordered Dian Wei to lead his troops to go south overnight and attack Nanting South Road with Zhang He.

Zhang Liao had already ordered people to inquire in advance on the way. Dian Wei and 6,000 troops sneaked at night. At midnight, they arrived in the mountains and forests ten miles away from the southern Xiongnu army. They did not act immediately, but rested for midnight.

As dawn approached, Zhang He, who was defending the south, suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Xiongnu and the Qiang people's southern army. The Xiongnu and Qiang people suffered a great loss. When the fierce battle was about to occur, Dian Wei led his troops out of the rear and the Xiongnu's southern army was in chaos.

Dian Wei and Zhang He attacked each other in front and fought fiercely for most of the day. Until afternoon, more than 10,000 Xiongnu and Qiang soldiers on the southern route were killed, and the rest were captured.

Then Dian Wei and Zhang He joined forces to connect the two counties of Yuanyang and Yuanyin to the north, and took down all the central areas of Xihe County controlled by the Qian people's Qiang family.

The Qiang people participated in the rebellion of the Xiongnu. The five thousand soldiers and horses sent were killed, defeated, and captured. Even the Haoshou was killed. There was no resistance in the two counties and it was easily recovered.

Then Dian Wei and Zhang He did not continue to advance, but quickly swept through the remnants of the Xiongnu and Qiang soldiers in the control area, and cleaned up the area with lightning speed.

Cui Jun, the prefect of Xihe, quickly led the county magistrate and county magistrate appointed by Zhang Liao to control the county government and appease the people.

In the Luliang Mountains and in the Nanyang Mountains, Zhang Liao couldn't help but smile when he learned the victory of Dian Wei and Zhang He. The battle was very difficult, and the backlash of the Hun nobles was unprecedentedly fierce. Fortunately, the southern route had basically been pacified, and what is left is the 40,000 cavalry on the northern route and the 20,000 remaining troops on the eastern route.

This is still a tough problem. Judging from the news from Gao Shun and Zhao Yun, the battle was extremely fierce, and many soldiers were killed. Although there was a mountain pass in the north, there were also a large area of ​​grasslands. The Huns' riding and shooting should not be underestimated.

More importantly, there is Nanting. As long as Nanting is there, the resistance of the Xiongnu people will not stop, and the Xiongnu tribes in other parts of Bingzhou will not be stable either.

However, if Zhang Liao personally destroyed Nanting, it would also arouse hatred from the Hu people, which would be detrimental to stabilize Bingzhou and appease the Hu people in the future.

However, Guo Jia had already made plans.

Just as Hexi County was fighting fiercely, a Qiang and Hu soldiers came from the west bank of Shangjun, the capital of Fushi County, Fushi County, and wandered within the county.

This sudden Qiang soldier claimed that he had first zero-generation Qiang, and was invited by the Xiongnu Nanting to attack Bingzhou. The Shen Di Qiang people in Fushi County did not doubt it and did not take much precautions.

Firstly, it is because the Qianzen Qiang, although their tribes are different, they have the same race. Secondly, most of the soldiers and horses of their tribes were invited by the Xihe County to assist in the battle at the invitation of the Xiongnu Nanting, so naturally there is no doubt about the Xianzen Qiang, which is also invited by the Xiongnu.

Late at night, another army of only 3,000 people crossed the Yellow River from the east and entered Shangjun. It was a Hun army.

This Xiongnu army secretly entered the Qiang camp and joined it.

In the big tent, the leader was Xu Rong, the general of the Central Army under Zhang Liao, and the Qiang who entered Shangjun was disguised by his Qiang and Hu soldiers.

But the lower leader was the captain Yang Han, Han Que and Mu Han. They were the commanders of the Xiongnu soldiers. The Xiongnu soldiers they brought were captured by Zhang Liao in Yanmen before, and some were recruited from Hu tribes such as Shangdang.

"Xu Zhonglang." Yang Han and Han Que, Mu Han clasped their fists and said, "The lord has an order. After we come to Shangjun, we will all follow Xu Zhonglang's orders."

Xu Rong nodded and said, "I have learned the lord's plan and the inner responders have been arranged in the city of Fushi. At midnight tonight, I will join forces to break through Fushi. Now all the Han people have been driven out of the city. All the Qiang people in the city are Qiang people. After entering the city, they are unwilling tolerate each other. Kill people in the city, kill the Qiang people, burn their nests, and rob their cattle and sheep. Remember! We must make the Huns soldiers storm Zhang Yang so that everyone can know that the Huns attack their nests. This is the purpose of our battle."

"Here!" Yang Han and the other two responded.

That night, riots suddenly appeared in the east gate of Fushi City, which was silent, and then the city gate opened wide. Thousands of Hun soldiers rushed into the city and set fires everywhere.

The people gathered in the city were all from the Qiang people of Shen Di. They woke up from their sleep and were attacked before they could resist. The mansion of the Qiang people of Shen Di was first to be captured. Haoshang went to Xihe County to respond to the rebellion of the Xiongnu. He was not in the mansion and had no power to resist. Except for women and children, the people who resisted in the mansion were all killed by the shouting Huns.

There were still thousands of Qiang soldiers in the city, all of which were attacked and killed. Until dawn, there were ruins in the city, and the Hun soldiers could be seen coming and going everywhere, looting tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, and leaving in a panic.

However, outside the city, this Xiongnu soldier was attacked by the first zero species from the county town yesterday. He abandoned cattle and sheep, fled in all directions, and ran to other county towns and villages to rob the Qiang people.

The remaining Qiang people in Fushi City were grateful for the rescue of the Qiang people, but the Qiang people told them that the Huns were preparing to retreat to the frontier and needed to plunder a large number of cattle and sheep. Previously, the Qiang people were transferred to Xihe to fight, which was a poisonous plan. While consuming the Qiang people's troops, they took the opportunity to send troops into Shangjun to plunder their cattle and sheep.

When the Qiang people from the Di tribe heard this, they were all frightened and immediately sent people to Xihe to report to the Haoshang who fought against the Xiongnu.

The Qiang people, the first zero-class Qiang, clamored to take revenge on the Huns and attack Nanting.

As the Hun soldiers continued to rage, there were a lot of Shen Di Qiang who hated the Huns for a time and were willing to follow the Qiangs and attack the Nanting of the Huns.

So Xu Rong took the "Xian Zero Qiang" and the Shen Di Qiang to cross the Yellow River and entered Pingding County in the northern part of Xihe County. Along the way, they met the Huns, and they claimed that they were invited by the Huns to assist in the battle. At this time, the Huns were all fighting outside. The Hun tribes had not yet guarded against the Qiangs, and their progress was quite smooth.

In the past two days, the Southern Xiongnu royal court learned about the defeat of the Southern Lu Army. When they saw the Bingzhou herdsmen approaching the northern part of Xihe County, they hurriedly transferred 10,000 troops from various tribes to join the "Xian Zero Qiang" who came to help, and blocked the Bingzhou herdsmen in the southern part of Pingding County.

However, the Huns had not yet taken a breath. In Wuyuan, in the Yunzhong area, the Qiang people in the Shen Di who assisted the Huns in battle suddenly rebelled and attacked the Xiongnu camp. The right general and the right commander who led the troops in the Southern Xiongnu were furious and counterattacked the Qiangs.

Zhao Yun and Gao Shun took the opportunity to attack, and the troops on the northern route of the Southern Xiongnu fell into chaos.
