One hundred thousand troops arrived at Pingyang City, and the leader was Huchuquan, the Xiongnu Chanyu, who was currently the king who controlled everything in the southern Xiongnu.
On both sides of him, there were two people dressed in luxurious clothes, obviously people of very high status.
The man on the right side of Huchuquan is fat and has a very fierce face.
This man is Qubei, the current Youxian King of the Xiongnu, and he is also the son of Huchuquan.
The man on the left side of Huchuquan has a well-proportioned figure, but he is wearing armor and looks completely like a Han Chinese.
This person is the son of the former Xiongnu Chanyu Yufuluo, and the current Xiongnu Zuoxian King Liu Bao.
The practice of the Xiongnu was different from that of the Han Dynasty. They respected the left.
King Zuo Xian is equivalent to the crown prince. When Hu Chuquan dies, the Chanyu position will be automatically succeeded by King Zuo Xian.
This is also the reason why Huchuquan succeeded Shanyu after Yu Fuluo died.
Although Liu Bao is a Huns, he has been in frequent contact with Han people since he was born, and he loves the culture of the Han Dynasty even more.
Especially the art of war genre, I can’t put it down!
It's a pity that Liu Bao's talent is limited and he has only learned a little bit.
Even so, Liu Bao still had a transcendent status among the Xiongnu. Even Shanyu Huchuquan was full of praise for Liu Bao.
Liu Bao's high status among the Xiongnu was due to his studiousness and conduct, not from his status as King Zuoxian.
This time Huchuquan led one hundred thousand elites to go south, and it was Liu Bao who persuaded him.
The Xiongnu army went south without encountering any resistance, and all the counties along the way were empty.
Huchuquan led his army without any delay and went straight to Pingyang City.
Because the Xiongnu royal court received news that the Yizhou army was stationed in Pingyang City!
However, after Huchuquan led his army to Pingyang City, the scene before him was completely different from what he had imagined.
It even made him a little...astonished.
"King Zuoxian, what's going on?"
Listening to Shan Yu's doubtful expression, Liu Bao also had very strong confusion in his eyes.
The gates of Pingyang City in front of us were wide open, giving the appearance of an empty city.
However, the city is covered with flags and the defenders are waiting in full formation. How can it be an empty city? "Chanyu, there is a scam in Pingyang City, don't touch it lightly!"
Hu Chuquan nodded heavily, he thought so too.
After being defeated at the hands of Cao Cao several times, Huchuquan roughly understood the rules of Han warfare.
I absolutely couldn’t believe what I was seeing!
If the opponent is fully prepared, it means they are definitely ready for a fight.
If the other party seems to be unprepared, it means that the other party must have an ambush!
When Huchuquan was ordered by Yuan Shu to attack Chenliu, he was ambushed by Cao Cao and lost many soldiers in the battle.
Hu Chuquan himself had no choice but to surrender to Cao Cao.
Ever since Liu Zhang buried 100,000 Xianbei alive, Huchuquan was even more afraid of the Yizhou army.
If Liu Bao hadn't forced him to do so, he wouldn't have become Liu Zhang's enemy at this time.
Just when Shan Yu and King Zuo Xian were thinking about the purpose of the Yizhou army, the voice of King You Xian suddenly came over.
"Father is handsome, big brother, what are you afraid of him doing?"
"Liu Zhang is not in Pingyang at all. There are only 10,000 or 20,000 people here at most. How can they withstand our 100,000-strong army?"
Huchuquan frowned when he heard this, then glared at Qubei angrily, and became depressed in his heart.
They are both the grandsons of Chanyu Qiangqu, so why is the eldest brother Yufuluo's son Liu Bao so smart and capable! His own son is like a retarded man who only knows how to fight and kill?
"Shut up, what do you know!"
"oh..."
Qubei has a rough appearance and a violent personality, but he is only afraid of his father Huchuquan.
Huchuquan shouted angrily, and Qubei was so frightened that he shut his mouth.
"King Zuo Xian, this Yizhou army is not easy to deal with! Is it worth taking the risk for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao?"
Hu Chuquan felt a little regretful, especially after facing difficulties, the regret in his heart became stronger.
Liu Bao smiled and gave Hu Chuquan a comforting look.
"Chan Yu may be relieved, and Liu Zhang may be tyrannical, but there is currently nothing he can do!"
"What's more, this march into Hedong County is equivalent to making friends with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao at the same time."
"No matter who wins between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the future, we Xiongnu will have a place!"
Liu Bao was willing to take the risk and came here after careful consideration.
Although neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shao paid a price in a practical sense, they both promised to give Hedong County, Hongnong County, Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng and Jing Zhaoyin to the Huns to reproduce and live.
And they all promised to use Hangu Pass as the boundary and watch each other!
It's just that Yuan Shao's purpose is to let Huchuquan intimidate Yanzhou, while Cao Cao's purpose is to let Huchuquan intimidate Bingzhou.
Liu Bao was not in a hurry to send troops, and planned to march to Hedong after this winter.
Unexpectedly, I suddenly received news that a large-scale population migration was taking place in Hedong.
The Huns are stupid, but they can't be so stupid that they don't want any of their own people!
They still need Han people to cultivate the land and produce food for them, so how can they want Hedong, an empty shell?
Therefore, Liu Bao suggested that Huchuquan immediately raise troops to attack Hedong County.
Huchuquan initially refused because he heard that the people who moved the people of Hedong County were the Yizhou Army.
Huchuquan was afraid from the bottom of his heart for the general Liu Zhang who massacred 200,000 Xianbei people and 400,000 Qiang people!
If you are staying well in the Hetao, why do you want to anger Liu Zhang?
This is sure to cause trouble!
You might get burned!
Liu Bao talked hard, analyzed and persuaded, and finally persuaded Hu Chuquan.
Only then did Huchuquan lead a hundred thousand string-controllers to break into Hedong to stop the population migration.
However, Liu Bao was still a step too late. The population of counties and counties near the Hetao area had long since disappeared.
In Hedong County, there are very few cities along the Yellow River, and most of them are concentrated along the Fenshui River.
Therefore, after Huchuquan and Liu Bao discussed it, they immediately decided to cross the high mountains and lead the army directly to Pingyang County, the former Xianbei royal court.
In fact, when Huchuquan actually arrived in Pingyang County and saw the big flag with Liu characters on the city wall, he still couldn't help but feel fear.
Especially the open city gate of Pingyang City reveals endless weirdness!
"King Zuo Xian, Liu Zhang was cunning, Qiang, Hu, and Xianbei all fell to his hands. We must be careful!"
It's not that Huchuquan is as timid as a mouse, it's just that the Xiongnu today is not what it was hundreds of years ago. The family has a big business and the loss is nothing.
Once these 100,000 troops are gone, the Southern Huns will almost be gone too!
"Don't worry, Chanyu! Let's just observe here first and see what tricks the Yizhou Army is playing!"
Liu Bao was very relaxed in his words, but also very nervous in his heart.
The ambition in his heart was extremely high, and he wished he could achieve great things, but how could he endure a disastrous defeat?
This time Liu Bao came to Hedong not only to make good friends with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
It also proves to the world that there is still a figure like Liu Bao in this world!
