On the 21st, we encountered an obstacle head on.

The Jin army returned home like an arrow and fought hard with the thieves. The commander of the army, Chen Tonggen, was hit by an arrow and died.

On the 22nd, they rushed to the north of Tianchi and met another group of enemy cavalry. The two sides fought in the wilderness, and the sound of killing was loud.

Liu Zhao, who was above Tianchi, saw this and personally led his tribe's light cavalry to attack, defeated Tuoba Xianbei, and welcomed Shao Shen and others in.

At this time, there were only more than two thousand soldiers and horses left, and more than half were lost.

Among those who did not come back, at most half were killed in the battle, and even more were scattered.

After the news was sent back to Shiling Pass, Shao Xun nodded and said nothing more.

The eldest nephew's group is considered to be the last unit to end the battle.

He didn't criticize him too much for losing more than half of his money.

During Huo Qubing's first battle in Hexi, he went deep behind enemy lines. Due to lack of experience and bad luck, he encountered many Xiongnu soldiers and fought frequently. Only 3,000 of his 10,000 elite cavalry came back, resulting in a loss of 7,000.

Things were much better the second time. Deep behind enemy lines, only 30% of the approximately 20,000 cavalry were lost.

The eldest nephew repeatedly circled the hills, valleys, and basins, sometimes fighting back and forth for nearly a thousand miles. In the end, he lost more than half of his troops. It was not bad, not bad.

On June 26, Shao Xun ordered the troops to regroup. At that time, the army had run out of food and only broth was left to eat.

When we arrived in Jinyang, we received news that there was an earthquake near Chang'an in May and a landslide in Zhongnan.

At this time, he finally understood the reason why the Xiongnu did not make a large-scale eastward advance.

In this little glacier climate and this geologically active period, life is not easy for everyone.
