Liu Meng had a gloomy look on his face. Maybe he was also regretting that he didn't listen to Liu Bao's words, which led to the tragedy of losing his lair. To be honest, Liu Meng never expected that the Wei army would come so fast. He had just swallowed

Zishi, at least you should digest it. Why did they come here so non-stop? How many days passed between the fall of Zishi and the fall of Qixian?

Liu Jiao was extremely anxious. Daling was his lifeline. Without Daling, he would be nothing. Of course, Liu Meng was the same. Qixian County was the foundation of the right Xiongnu, even though the right Xiongnu army was

At present, the Huns have the largest number among all tribes, but without the base area of ​​Qixian County, Liu Meng will be like water without a source and a tree without roots, and can no longer support it.

No matter what kind of disaster Qixian and Daling suffered, the top priority was to recapture these two cities first, so Liu Jiao couldn't wait to ask Liu Meng to withdraw his troops as soon as possible and recapture the two cities.

Of course, Liu Meng could not turn a blind eye. He immediately summoned five commanders to discuss the withdrawal of troops.

However, this meeting was extremely unsatisfactory. Liu Bao objected in a high-profile manner, claiming that the top priority now was to capture Jinyang. Qixian and Daling had been lost. Maybe all the Huns in the city had been massacred. Even if they were recaptured,

The second city will not help, so it is better to concentrate on attacking Jinyang.

Liu Bao's tone was undoubtedly the same as Liu Meng's after the fall of Zishi a few days ago. At first, Liu Bao asked for support from various ministries to recapture Zishi, but was opposed by the commanders of the ministries. Now, only a few days later, Liu Bao said

He slapped Liu Meng in the face with the same words, making Liu Meng a mute and unable to express the pain of eating coptis.

After the fall of the Zi family, the other ministries responded indifferently and were unwilling to give up the opportunity to attack Jinyang to counterattack the Zi family. Now after the fall of Qixian and Daling, Liu Meng is eager to return to the army. Such double standards have indeed made it difficult for him to

Liu Bao was so angry that he would inevitably become sarcastic.

However, in the end, the various tribes reached a compromise. The Xiongnu tribes will temporarily evacuate Jinyang. After recovering Qixian, Daling and Zishi, they will repel the reinforcements of the Wei army, and may besiege Jinyang again.

Of course, there was a reason for this compromise. Liu Meng and Liu Jiao insisted on withdrawing their troops. Many others did not agree with their attitude of acting alone. If Liu Meng and Liu Jiao withdrew, only Liu Bao and Liu Teng would be left. Naturally,

There is no way to attack Jinyang again.

What's more, Liu Bao is also a person who can judge the situation very well. Although the Huns were making trouble some time ago, after being poached one after another, the situation in Bingzhou has quietly changed.

Under such circumstances, if each Xiongnu tribe fights independently, it is likely that they will be defeated by the Wei army one by one.

In order to take the overall situation into consideration, Liu Bao agreed to the withdrawal plan, but as compensation, Liu Meng promised to continue marching south to recover Zishi after regaining Qixian and Daling.

Liu Bao was not interested in this. It would be meaningless to recapture the Zi clan now. Even if he could recapture it, it would be nothing more than an empty city with ruins and ruins. Apart from some symbolic meaning, it would have no meaning.

of practical value.

However, Liu Bao still decided to lead his army southward along with the right and central forces. The current situation forced him to put aside his prejudices and make everyone prosper and suffer losses. Only by uniting together can there be any hope of survival.

Since Liu Bao also agreed to go south, Liu Teng of the northern Xiongnu naturally had no reason to refuse. What's more, if the other three troops left, leaving one and his troops in Jinyang would most likely be counterattacked by the Wei army, so

, no matter how reluctant he was, Liu Teng could only lead his troops and leave with the army.

After deciding on the retreat plan, the Xiongnu army quickly took action, set up camp and marched south.

The first to set off was not Liu Meng's army, but Liu Jiao's army. At this time, Liu Jiao was eager to return home. The Huns in the middle of the army had almost abandoned most of their baggage and tents, and were the first to leave the camp and march toward

Depart south.

Because the Xiongnu tribes have always been independent, even if they made a unanimous decision to go south, each tribe still acted independently. Liu Jiao set off first, Liu Meng's army set off later, and Liu Bao and Liu Teng's armies set off

, then lags behind.

The moods of each department must be different. Liu Jiao was anxious, as if boiling oil poured over his heart, while Liu Bao and Liu Teng were taking a leisurely stroll.

Liu Meng couldn't be urged. Even if the march was slow, they would send troops anyway. Anyway, he had to rely on himself and Liu Jiao's army to recapture Daling in Qi County. There was basically no chance of relying on Liu Bao and Liu Teng.

This is the result of the long-term division of the five tribes of the Xiongnu. There is no unified command, and they fight independently and restrain each other. This has led to the current situation where the Xiongnu was defeated individually. Liu Meng wanted to unify the five tribes and take the position of Shan Yu.

, but if Jinyang cannot be taken, the previous agreement will not take effect, and there is nothing Liu Meng can do if he is anxious.

It seems that after retaking Qixian County, we must step up our efforts to win the position of Chanyu. If the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly. Only by being promoted to the title of Chanyu can we have the right to rule over the various tribes of the Xiongnu, and the current situation of independent administration will not occur.

situation.

Liu Meng secretly thought about how to realize his Shanyu dream, but the speed of his march did not stop. Soon he received a report from the scouts.

According to the scouts' reports, the Wei army has now left Qixian and Daling, pushed northward to the Dongguan area, and built a defense line there.

The central Xiongnu army led by Liu Jiao, which was marching the fastest, had already reached the outskirts of Dongguan and had a small-scale conflict with the Wei army.

Looking east?

Liu Meng secretly thought to himself that no one was more familiar with Dongguan than him. You must know that Dongguan is located in Qixian County and is also the habitat of the Xiongnu on the right. The terrain of Dongguan is flat and there are no dangerous points.

Defendant, Liu Meng couldn't figure out why the Wei army chose this place as the battlefield.

If it were him, he would most likely have to defend Qi County. Anyway, Qi County has a city wall that can block the attack of the Huns' cavalry. And looking eastward at a vast plain, the Huns' cavalry can completely sweep and crush them all the way.

According to the results of advance investigation, the reinforcements of this Wei army were only 10,000 people. Even if he fought with few soldiers all the way, when he arrived at Dongguan, he would be able to survive at most only 10,000 people, and it was still a mix of 10,000 soldiers and cavalry. Liu Meng really

I don’t know what confidence the other party has to dare to confront the Hun cavalry of 60,000 to 70,000 people.
