The breakthrough battle lasted from dusk to dawn, and Liu Yuan finally escaped from the encirclement of the Bingzhou Army. Everyone was tired and exhausted, but the joy of surviving the disaster was still on their faces.

Finally, he was killed. Yesterday's battle was so dangerous. If Liu Yuan hadn't firmly chosen to break through the northeast direction, he would have been afraid that the 100,000 Huns would have been lost in that valley.

Even so, the Huns suffered extremely heavy losses in this battle. At least 60% of the 100,000 troops were lost. Only less than 40,000 troops escaped from the Bingzhou Army. The number of casualties and injuries made Liu Yuan very sad.

This team is the capital that Liu Yuan had accumulated for many years and the basis for him to repay his blood debt from Cao Liang. Now that he has lost so many people at once, Liu Yuan has completely resented. With these remaining people, let alone taking revenge, it is already a blessing to be able to leave Bingzhou alive.

Most of the people who escaped this time were Liu Yuan's direct confidants. When breaking through, they could obey Liu Yuan's orders and cling tightly around Liu Yuan, so that they could form a cohesion, forcibly tear out a hole from the iron wall of the Bingzhou Army, and fight out a bloody road.

In addition, some small tribes also followed Liu Yuan and took the opportunity to kill them with the passage opened by Liu Yuan.

The leaders of the large tribe who were self-righteous. In the face of crisis, they refused to obey Liu Yuan's orders and acted without authorization. As a result, the entire army was destroyed and none of them escaped.

The demise of the four major tribes was entirely their own fault. It can be seen that in such a large-scale battle, without a unified command and coordinated pace, it is completely a desperate attempt.

Liu Yuan would not shed a single tear for them by the destruction of the four leaders. He would not be able to survive! The only thing that Liu Yuan was deeply saddened was that he had lost 60,000 troops in vain, which caused his vitality to be severely damaged. I am afraid that he would not be able to recover without ten or eight years.

However, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Liu Yuan is still young, with time and hope.

"Shanyu, what should we do now?" Wu Han asked.

Liu Yuan looked up at the mountain. He broke through in a hurry last night. Liu Yuan only knew that he was breaking out in the northeast direction, but then he turned to that direction. He really couldn't remember how many miles he had walked. It was in the depths of Luliang Mountain. The mountains were undulating and ravines were crisscrossing. All the roads were winding. In addition, it was cloudy today, so Liu Yuan could not even tell the difference between the southeast, northwest and north.

However, this place is still in the hinterland of Bingzhou and is not too far from Loufan, so this place is not a place to stay for a long time. The pursuers of the Bingzhou army are likely to chase after them at any time, and Liu Yuan must be transferred.

In the original plan, Liu Yuan was preparing to recapture Li Shi so that he could open the Heshuofang food route. However, the Xiongnu army has suffered heavy damage. There were heavy troops intercepted by Bingzhou cavalry on the way. Even if he was killed at Li Shi City, in the current state of the Xiongnu army, it would be a daydream to attack the city, so the possibility of recapturing Li Shi and returning to Shuofang was zero.

Next, Liu Yuan was really worried about where to go when the Huns generals went.

The hope of escaping back to Shuofang has been completely cut off. This road is not open, and Liu Yuan must find another way. If he continues to stay in Bingzhou, it will be very dangerous. There is no hope of moving forward and no way back. This is the true portrayal of the current Xiongnu army. What is more important is that after the food route was cut off, the Xiongnu army was already in a dilemma of no food. If he could not find a place to settle down, even if the Bingzhou army did not come to pursue, they would starve to death.

Most of the population and economy of Bingzhou are concentrated in the plains of the Fen River Basin and the Luliang Mountains. They are sparsely populated and deserted. Even if the Huns use their usual plundering tricks, they have no place to plunder. The survival problem is worrying.

What should I do? After thinking about it, Liu Yuan had no choice but to go north to join the Xianbei.

But the Xianbei people and the Huns were originally a feud. Before the Xianbei people rose, they only surrendered to the small tribes of the Huns and were oppressed and bullied by the Huns. Every year, they had to pay a large number of tributes to the Huns in order to survive in the Xianbei area.

During the heyday of the Xiongnu ruling the grassland and desert, the Xianbei was both humble and weak, and they could only survive in the cracks. Later, the Xiongnu declined and split into two parts, the Southern Xiongnu, which was Liu Yuan's ancestors, went south to Bingzhou and Shuofang, opening up new worlds, while the Northern Xiongnu continued to occupy the grassland, but their good days were over.

The Xianbei people took advantage of the decline of the division and strength of the Huns. They soon replaced them and became the new grassland overlords. After the failure of the Northern Huns, they had to go far away and disappear into the dust of history.

Although the Southern Xiongnu did not have much contact with the Xianbei people, they have made enemies for generations and have made them strangers and have no chance to coexist.

This is also an important reason why Liu Yuan would rather escape to Shuofang than to the Xianbei in the north. Although Shuofang is small, with poor resources and endless chaos, the people living there are people of the same tribe who have the same roots and origins as Liu Yuan, and they have the same bloodline and will not exclude Liu Yuan as a foreign race.

But if they defect to the Xianbei people, the Xianbei people would capture them as slaves. Not only would they not have a chance to succeed, they would probably not even be able to save their lives. Therefore, Liu Bao would never send the young Liu Yuan to the Xianbei people.

But now, the road to escape back to Shuofang has been cut off. Apart from turning north to the Xianbei people, Liu Yuan seemed to have no second way to go.

Fortunately, Liu Yuan was no longer a child who was only a few years old at the time, and his command was not as large as a few hundred people. Even if he suffered a defeat in Bingzhou and lost most of his troops, Liu Yuan still had tens of thousands of troops in his hands.

The leader of the Xianbei people, Tuoba Liwei, also suffered a defeat at Cao Liang's hands. He wanted to raise troops to avenge him at all times. If Liu Yuan led tens of thousands of people to surrender to Tuoba Liwei this time, he would be able to give some help to the Xianbei people. I believe Tuoba Liwei would not refuse Liu Yuan's help.

Cao Liang is their common enemy. In order to defeat Cao Liang, what are the grievances of those ancestors?

After making up his mind, Liu Yuan immediately ordered to drive north and go to Tuoba Liwei.
