Chapter 1139 Sit back and relax

Duan Ri Lu Juan had just returned to Bailang Mountain when he heard the news of the Wei army attacking Fancheng. He couldn't help but feel scared and sweating. Fortunately, he left in time, otherwise when the Wei army attacked, he would not be able to leave.

However, the result of the rapid destruction of Yuwen's tribe made Duan Ri and Lu Jun fall into deep thought again. In just a few days, the Murong tribe and the Yuwen tribe of the once glorious Eastern Xianbei were successively destroyed, and the Duan tribe became the only remaining tribe on the eastern grassland.

But would the Wei army allow such an existence?

Obviously it is impossible. The Yuwen tribe is far above the Duan tribe, both its troops and its strength, but its destruction is only one or two days, which shows how terrifying the combat power of the Wei army is. If the Duan tribe is attacked by the Wei army, it is probably destroyed faster.

Therefore, staying in Bailang Mountain can only sit and wait for death. Duan Ri Lu Juan gritted his teeth and made a fuss to move his family and escape from the eastern grassland, a place of right and wrong.

In fact, there is nothing to be reluctant to leave. The Xianbei people originally lived a life of living by pursuing water and grass. They moved wherever the water and grass are lush. The Bailang Mountain area is more suitable for living, so they settled here. However, the situation has changed and the entire eastern grassland cannot gain a foothold. During that period, the land family had to move to the central part to seek protection from Tuoba Liwei. Anyway, the Duan tribe had already surrendered to Tuoba Liwei before and respected Tuoba Liwei as the Xianbei King. Now his subjects are in trouble, and there is no reason why the Xianbei King does not accept it.

Duanmen left as soon as they said that, and they quickly packed up everything, rolled up their tents, drove cattle and sheep, and left Bailang Mountain.

Duan Ri Lujuan looked back at the empty grassland and couldn't help but sigh. On this vast grassland, the three major tribes competed for each other, chasing each other, each occupying one side, but now the stars are scattered and no longer exists. The rapid changes in the world are caught off guard. The grassland is no longer the world of their Xianbei people.

After hearing the news that the Duan Xianbei fled, Cao Liang just smiled calmly. The Duan Xianbei was only the weakest among the three major tribes of the eastern Xianbei. The most powerful Murong Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei have been destroyed one after another. Duan Ri Lu Juan was a little self-aware and simply took the lead in taking thirty-six strategies. Before the Wei army attacked, they took the initiative to withdraw.

Cao Liang actually did not take Duan Xianbei seriously. This time he attacked the eastern grasslands, and his main target was to the Murong tribe in Fancheng and the Yuwen tribe in Dalinghe. These two Xianbei were the only way to lead to Liucheng, so from a strategic perspective, Cao Liang had to destroy these two major tribes one after another.

However, the Yuwen Department and the Murong Department were killed by each other objectively, which helped Cao Liang's great help. The Murong Department had been destroyed by the Yuwen Department, and the Yuwen Department itself was almost disabled. At this moment, the Bingzhou cavalry attacked just to clean up the mess. Without bloodshed, the most difficult problem was solved.

As for the Duan Xianbei, it was not actually on the Bingzhou Army's route. However, for the sake of military logistics supply security, Cao Liang also planned to send a cavalry to Bailang Mountain to clean up the remaining tribe of the Xianbei people.

However, Duan Ri Lu Jun saw the opportunity quickly. Before the Bingzhou army could attack, he took the initiative to give up Bailang Mountain and migrated to the central Xianbei.

Since Duan’s troops also escaped, Cao Liang certainly would not consider the pursuit. The most urgent task now is to attack Liucheng and solve the problem in Liaodong.

After the Bingzhou cavalry arrived at Daling River, it was only a hundred miles away from Liucheng. However, there was no information between the two places, and the Bingzhou army deliberately blocked it, so the Youzhou army on the Liucheng did not know that there had been earth-shaking changes on the grassland.

The defenders of Liucheng are still quite comfortable now. With Wei Guan and Wang Qi in Linyu Pass, Bingzhou Army would not fly to Liucheng even if they had wings.

There were not many defenders in Liucheng, only a scale of three or four thousand people. This was also the army stationed by Wang Qi to prevent the invasion of the Xianbei people on the grassland. The Xianbei people generally only plundered the areas around the city and did not attack the fortresses of the city, so it was enough to guard Liucheng.

The one who stationed in Liucheng was Chen Ji, the prefect of Changli County. Originally, the county seat of Changli County was not in Liucheng, but in Changli County. However, Liucheng, as an important pass in the western Liaoning Corridor and the need to defend against the Xianbei people, Wang Qi ordered Chen Ji to stay in Liucheng to ensure the safety of the entire western Liaoning Corridor.

Chen Ji was also from the Chen family in Yingchuan. In terms of seniority, he was Chen Qun's nephew and had a prominent family background. It was just because of the subordinate branches and sub-districts, so he did not get an official position in Fuzhou and sub-districts in the Central Plains. He could only come to the border county to be the prefect and have some experience, so he could transfer back to the Central Plains in the future.

Chen Ji had long been tired of a place like Changli, where the extreme north is bitter and cold, not to mention that the situation in Youzhou is not stable now. The previous governor, Wu Qiu Jian, died in civil strife, and the new governor Wei Guan and the governor Wang Qi seemed to be unable to control the situation in Youzhou. The Bingzhou army invaded a large-scale invasion, and seven counties including Youzhou Prefecture's Ji County were lost. Now the situation in Youzhou has completely lost control.

Although Wei Guan and Wang Qi were holding on to Linyu Pass, Chen Ji had no sense of security in Liucheng. He was so alone in this ghost place in Youzhou. Chen Ji was trying to use all the relationships in the court and try to transfer back to the Central Plains.

Therefore, Chen Ji's thoughts at this moment were not on guarding the city, and he was careless about Liucheng's defense. When the deputy general reminded him to strengthen his vigilance to test safety, Chen Ji said indifferently: "With the Governor of the Guard and the Governor of Wang, the Bingzhou Army could not fly over even if it had wings. Why should you worry? When Linyu Pass is lost, it is not too late to take precautions."

Chen Ji was not prepared, and at most he would patrol the city in a hurry every day, and even if he found a problem, he would be too lazy to rectify it.

The generals had this attitude, and the soldiers guarding the city became increasingly lazy. Although the gate of Liucheng was opened and closed on time, the entire defense was extremely relaxed. Everyone thought that Liucheng's defense was irrelevant. As long as Linyu Pass was still there, they could rest assured.

At this moment, the Cavalry Camp had already assembled a hundred miles away. Under Wen Qin's leadership, he entered the vast night, and rode lightly and fast horses, galloping all night. When the sky was dim, the Cavalry Camp had approached the outskirts of Liucheng.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Wen Qin ordered the Xiaoqin camp to slow down and sent a vanguard cavalry to approach Liucheng.
