This time Liu Bao was defeated quite miserably. Not only did he lose half of the more than 20,000 horses he brought back, but most importantly, the Zi family, the home of the Xiongnu on the left, was lost, and the entire left tribe fell. Such a tragic loss

The losses were almost the same as those of the Huns in the south.

Even Liu Meng, who had a competitive relationship with Liu Bao, hardly had any thoughts of gloating after hearing the news, but more of a sad sigh.

With the fall of the Zi family, the left Xiongnu lost its foundation. Although Liu Bao still retained an army of more than 10,000 people, Liu Bao had been reduced to a lost dog. Now he is among the five Xiongnu tribes, not to mention wanting to compete with Liu Bao.

Menghe competed for Chanyu's position, and even the northern and central Xiongnu were greatly inferior.

I am afraid that the only one Liu Bao can surpass is Liu Yue of the southern Huns. Liu Yue lost all his capital and was almost reduced to a lonely position.

The reason why Liu Yue can still attend high-level meetings of the Xiongnu from time to time is because he still has the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Five Divisions, and everyone just gives him some face. When it comes time to decide on major military matters, he often

will be pushed aside.

A military commander without troops and power is naturally not qualified to be on an equal footing with other military commanders.

But Liu Bao is different. Although he has lost his base, he still has men and horses in his hands and still has a certain fighting capacity, so he will not be despised by others.

Of course, this is also relative. Now that Liu Bao's strength has been greatly reduced, his position is naturally not as strong as before.

If Liu Yue's defeat by the southern Xiongnu did not attract enough attention from them, Liu Bao's defeat this time shocked all the Xiongnu tribes.

Liu Yue's southern Xiongnu had always been relatively weak, and the southern Xiongnu were placed in Puzi, Hedong County, which meant they were out of the Bingzhou circle and outside the Xiongnu's sphere of influence.

This rebellion originated from the Xiongnu on the right, and soon the central, left, and northern parts responded, forming a joint force on the land of Bingzhou. The southern Xiongnu joined the rebellion very late, and after the uprising, they also acted alone.

In the past, he did not join the big family of the Huns Alliance.

Therefore, the destruction of the Xiongnu in the south did not arouse the vigilance of the Xiongnu tribes. Even after the reinforcements of the Wei army marched from Hedong County to Bingzhou, the Xiongnu tribes were still blindly optimistic, thinking that the reinforcements of more than 10,000 people from the Wei army were nothing to worry about.

The target is still placed on Jinyang, the capital of Bingzhou.

But this time Liu Bao's disastrous defeat undoubtedly gave a huge shock to other tribes. The strength of the left Xiongnu is recognized by all Xiongnu tribes. Among the five tribes, even if he is not ranked first, he must be ranked the worst.

Second, however, Liu Bao was defeated so miserably this time. In just a few days, he lost troops, lost ground, and lost generals. He went from being one of the top forces to the bottom of the force. How could such a tragic record happen?

Don't attract anyone's attention.

As soon as Liu Bao arrived at the outskirts of Jinyang, he immediately requested to convene the commanders of the ministries to discuss the matter, which was held in Gangyang. Due to the urgency of the matter, the commanders of the ministries also arrived as scheduled, including Liu Yue, the commander of the south.

Liu Bao's face was very haggard, and he seemed much older than when he left Gengyang a few days ago. It could be seen that this defeat was a very heavy blow to him, but Liu Bao still stood up stubbornly, as if he wanted to tell everyone,

He won't be broken by this.

"The reinforcements sent by the Wei State this time are very powerful. Although they are not too many in number, they have terrifying combat effectiveness. Even the cavalry that has been trained for many years is no match for them. Therefore, I warn you that you must not take it lightly and postpone the attack on Jin."

Yang, unite and go all out to destroy this supporting army of Wei." Liu Bao said solemnly.

Liu Jiao, the commander-in-chief of the central Xiongnu, had always been at odds with Liu Meng. Since the central Xiongnu and the left Xiongnu were close to each other, it was inevitable that some small-scale conflicts would arise over some land or hostages, so the relationship between the two tribes has always been relatively tense.

.

After listening to Liu Bao's story, Liu Jiao just snorted and said: "After King Zuo Xian suffered a defeat, he was afraid that the Wei people would become like this? If King Zuo Xian hadn't been so eager to rescue the Zi family this time, he would have rushed in lightly.

, was ambushed by the Wei people, how could there be a defeat at Laoye Ridge? Therefore, this battle was not due to the strength of the Wei people, but because King Zuo Xian was too careless, so in my opinion,

There is nothing to fear from the Wei people. If they dare to come, they will be killed without leaving a trace."

The siege of Jinyang has now reached a critical moment. All the Xiongnu tribes have paid a lot of casualties in order to attack the city. Seeing that the defense of Jinyang City has reached the end of its strength, as long as the Xiongnu tribes work harder, they will definitely be able to capture Jinyang.

city.

At this moment, Liu Bao suggested that the Xiongnu tribes give up attacking Jinyang and instead deal with the reinforcements of the Wei army. This is simply a big joke. If the Xiongnu tribes withdraw their troops, then all the previous efforts will be in vain. Those who died in the battle under Jinyang City

Wouldn’t it be that the Hun soldiers died in vain?

Therefore, Liu Jiao did not agree with Liu Bao's proposal, and scorned Liu Bao's fear of Wei army reinforcements, thinking that Liu Bao was exaggerating and was only bitten by a snake once and afraid of well ropes in ten years.

Of course, Liu Bao would not expect Liu Jiao to agree with his opinion. After all, the two sides had been fighting fiercely for many years, refusing to give in to each other. To let him be consistent with himself was to seek the skin of a tiger.

Liu Bao looked at Liu Teng. The northern Huns were his allies. At this time, Liu Bao very much hoped that someone would come out to support him.

Liu Teng said: "The main reason for King Zuo Xian's failure this time is that he fell into the Wei people's trick. The Wei people concentrated their main forces on Laoye Ridge and besieged the Zi family instead of attacking them, but they falsely claimed

Having captured Zishi, King Zuo Xian's troops lost their fighting spirit and became disheartened, and finally took advantage of it with an ambush. The Wei people only relied on trickery to win this battle, not because of superiority in strength. If they had fought with real swords and guns,

King Zuo Xian may not be defeated in this battle. So the Wei people are not scary. What is scary is that we ourselves are weak. As long as we all work together, why should we fear the Wei people?"

Liu Bao was secretly surprised. Liu Teng had always been his ally. In the previous agreement, Liu Teng's northern Huns fully supported him. If Liu Bao took the lead in taking Jinyang and became the leader,

So, the position of King Zuoxian will be given to Liu Teng.

But he didn't expect Liu Jiao to oppose him this time. Even Liu Teng, who was his ally, also sang against him. Did he really agree with that sentence? A dragon is trapped in a shallow pond and is tricked by a shrimp, a tiger falls on a plain and is bullied by a dog.
