After Temujin led his troops to Youzhou, Muhuali led his troops to confront Xue Rengui and Meng Tian.
Xue Rengui and Meng Tian have a total of 80,000 infantry and cavalry troops, while Mu Huali has 50,000 troops, but they are all cavalry. Therefore, in terms of soldiers, the two sides are basically on an equal footing, and no one can take advantage of the other!
However, the Han army had Yanmen Pass, a majestic pass, and could be said to be in an invincible position. At first, it was precisely because Yanmen Pass was difficult to attack that Temujin prepared to lead the main force to Youzhou to open a breakthrough.
And now only Mu Huali's partial division is left. Mu Huali is also a famous general, so it is impossible for him to go crazy and use cavalry to attack an important pass.
Therefore, during this period, Yanmen Pass was different from the raging war in Youzhou. It can be said that Yanmen Pass lived quite peacefully.
Mu Huali only led his troops to walk around Yanmen Pass from time to time. At most, he only came to take a look at the scenery without even releasing a few arrows.
Mu Huali only needed to ensure that the soldiers at Yanmen Pass did not run to the Youzhou battlefield, so after checking his presence from time to time, he directly led the troops back to his camp.
But today, the calm that had lasted for many days was finally broken, and the situation at Yanmen Pass suddenly became tense.
In this battle, Xue Rengui and Meng Tian took the initiative to find Mu Huali. They had to fight because the situation in Liangzhou had changed.
After Temujin, Yelu Abaoji, Tuoba Tao, Nurhachi and Li Yuan and his son of Goguryeo, the Qiang people finally made some movement.
The Book of the Later Han Dynasty records that the number of Qiang people during the Han Dynasty was very large, at least millions, which was definitely a threat that could not be ignored for the Han regime.
Fortunately, the tribal structure of the Qiang people is not strict, and the Qiang people still live together with the Han people. Therefore, the officials on the northwest border of the Eastern Han Dynasty often regard the Qiang people as free coolies and cannon fodder. Therefore, after the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Qiang people
There has been constant resistance, and the Qiang people also like to steal money and food from the Han people during their nomadic breaks.
The Qiang people attach great importance to the principles of market economy. As long as the Han government gives a high price, they can hand over their own tribesmen and even their leaders.
Moreover, the Qiang people are divided into Xianling Qiang, Shaodang Qiang, Bei'an Qiang, Beihe Qiang, Nuo Qiang, Shenlang Qiang, Zhong Qiang, Baima Qiang, Yak Qiang, Baigou Qiang, and Dengzhi Qiang among themselves.
Qiang, Dangxiang Qiang, etc.
It is precisely because of this that these Qiang people have never gathered into a collective force. Otherwise, the threat from the Qiang people would definitely not be inferior to that of Xianbei.
Not long ago, the Qiang people who had been peaceful for a long time finally made some movement. The Qiang King sent a total of 120,000 troops to attack Su Lie.
At the same time, the Qiang people also sent tens of thousands of troops to deal with the other three princes of Liangzhou. But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Qiang people were just pretending to deal with the three princes of Fu Jian, Han Sui, and Ma Teng.
With these tens of thousands of troops, not to mention the three great princes Fu Jian, Han Sui, and Ma Teng, not even one of them may be able to deal with it.
Su Lie had 50,000 troops in Liangzhou to fight against a total of 120,000 enemy troops. In addition, the three princes Fu Jian, Han Sui, and Ma Teng had ambiguous relations with the Qiang people.
Among them, Fu Jian was originally from the Qiang people, but he later became one of the Han princes by joining Dong Zhuo and some other factors.
Both Han Sui and Ma Teng had countless connections with Qiang forces, and Ma Teng's mother was a Qiang girl.
Therefore, the situation in Su Lie is not optimistic.
The situation in Liangzhou is too severe, but now Li Xiang is far away in Youzhou. Youzhou and Liangzhou happen to be one to the east of Dahan and the other to the west of Dahan. It would be a bit awkward to pass the news over and wait for Li Xiang to give instructions.
It's a little too late.
Fortunately, when Li Xiang was unable to give instructions in time, there was still a person at the helm in Bingzhou.
At the critical moment, Li Yang, the governor of Bingzhou, Li Xiang's father, stepped forward. After discussing with the advisers, it was decided to first send some reinforcements from Li Jing's place, which had abundant troops.
Now, the team of advisers here in Li Yang cannot be underestimated. The manpower that should have been allocated to Li Xiang has been implanted here in Li Yang again and again by the system. Now Li Yang is full of talents.
Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, Song Jing, and Yao Chong, each of them is not only a generation of famous prime ministers, but also not much different in intelligence! Moreover, Li Xiang also left Wei Xiaokuan in Bingzhou to facilitate
In his absence, help him control the situation in Bingzhou.
At the same time, Xue Rengui and Meng Tian also began to actively seek opportunities to take the initiative to attack, striving to first eliminate Mu Huali who had been threatening outside Yanmen Pass, and then deploy troops and horses to Liangzhou.
The Wuwei County guarded by Su Lie has always been considered by Li Xiang's group as a bridgehead to attack Liangzhou, and it indirectly affects the strategy of Yongzhou. Unless it is a last resort, this bridgehead must be lost.
…
"Give me the order, the army will assemble, follow me out of the border, and go meet Mu Huali for a while to see how good Temujin's right-hand man is!"
"promise!"
"General Meng, after General Meng Tian and I leave, the Yanmen Pass will be entrusted to the general!"
Thousands of them.
"Don't worry, General Xue. As long as I'm here, Yanmen Pass will be there!" Faced with Xue Rengui's instructions, Meng Wu replied solemnly.
This time, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the war, not only the two senior commanders Xue Rengui and Meng Tian jointly mobilized, but also other generals of all sizes in Yanmen Pass were mobilized.
It can be said that after Xue Rengui and the others leave, the defense of Yanmen Pass will probably drop to the lowest level in history.
"Report, report to the general, the Han army has left the border." Outside Muhuali's tent, a scout came eagerly to report.
Mu Huali ignored it, cut off a piece of golden roasted mutton, swallowed it slowly, and then slowly said, "How many troops did the Han army dispatch?"
"Seventy thousand!"
"It's interesting. Send the order. The whole army must assemble. I'll go and meet the Han army!" Mu Huali showed a cruel smile and then said coldly.
"promise."
Outside Yanmen Pass, after advancing ten miles, Xue Rengui and Meng Tian did not continue to move forward, because they knew that Mu Huali almost knew that they had left the pass at this time.
Therefore, even if the two of them are waiting here, Mu Huali will definitely come to them when the time comes.
