Liu Meng was not willing to fail. In his opinion, the remaining 20,000 Xiongnu on the right would never lose to the Wei army, which only had 10,000 troops. The pinging army of the north was defeated by the Wei army. No matter how skinny a camel was, it was bigger than a horse.

.

But Liu Meng forgot one thing. The outcome of a war is never based on the number of people. There are many factors that determine the outcome of a war, such as the right time and place, but the most decisive one is morale. If an army's

The fighting spirit has collapsed, and no matter how many people there are, it will be difficult to restore the defeat.

Now the Huns are in such a low morale state, even though Liu Meng repeatedly ordered the Huns to muster up their morale to fight tenaciously, and he issued a huge reward, hoping to use material conditions to stimulate these Huns to fight for him again

Work hard.

But today is different from the past. The Huns soldiers are dissatisfied. Even if Liu Meng resorts to the bounty trick that has been tried and tested before, it will be difficult to tempt these Huns soldiers again.

Facing the fierce offensive of the Wei army's cavalry, the Huns were defeated faster than expected. They even lost the courage to fight the Wei army. They just heard the news of the Wei army's attack and fled.

The great rout triggered great chaos. In the great chaos, Liu Meng had lost command and control of the army. Some of the orders he issued almost fell into disuse and no one paid attention to them anymore.

The shouts of killing from all directions were deafening, and Liu Meng couldn't help but lament in his heart. He had completely failed in this battle. Wei Jun's powerful cavalry was everywhere, and even his hope of escape was slim.

Fortunately, Liu Meng still had a personal guard of several hundred people under his command. The other armies had dispersed, but this personal guard was still guarding Liu Meng, desperately escorting him to break out of the encirclement.

Because there were too many Hun soldiers fleeing in all directions, although the Wei cavalry launched a vigorous pursuit, they were still short of manpower, allowing many Hun soldiers to flee and become a fish that slipped through the net.

At the critical moment, Liu Meng was still lucky. Under the protection of his personal guards, he finally escaped safely. However, more than half of the personal guards around him were destroyed and suffered heavy casualties.

After breaking through the siege, Liu Meng could finally rest and take a breath, but suddenly a group of troops came out from the northwest. Liu Meng was so frightened that he quickly jumped on his horse. Just as he was about to escape, he heard that his men

The man shouted: "King Youxian, that seems to be the banner of the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Region."

When Liu Meng raised his head to look, it turned out to be Liu Jiao leading his troops.

However, Liu Jiao's current appearance is quite embarrassing, with his clothes and armor in tatters and many stains on his body. It is obvious that he survived a great battle and escaped death.

Now Liu Meng's appearance is not much different from that of Liu Jiao Rang. They are both extremely embarrassed. But fortunately, they are both still alive.

Liu Jiao led his troops to fight with the Bingzhou Army. The battle was in an unfavorable situation from the beginning. Under the powerful attack of the Bingzhou Army, Liu Jiao's men and horses suffered heavy losses and had to retreat.

Along the way, he encountered the defeated Xiongnu army on the right. Only then did Liu Jiao know that Liu Meng's side was doomed. He gathered the fleeing Xiongnu soldiers and searched for Liu Meng all the way. Finally, God had a vision and allowed him to find him.

Liu Meng.

"King Youxian, this is not the place to stay for a long time, so we should evacuate quickly."

"Withdraw?" Liu Meng gave a bitter laugh. In this vast world, there is no room for him. "No matter how big this world is, there is probably no place for me to stand."

Liu Jiao said: "Why don't King You Xian defect to Jiuyuan? The northern part has not been occupied by the Wei people."

"Let me go to Liu Teng?" Liu Meng gave a sad smile and said, "It's better to die than to live under someone else's roof and suffer the contempt of others!"

The relationship between him and Liu Teng was not harmonious before, but now he has to turn to Liu Teng like a lost dog. Needless to say, this humiliation alone is not something Liu Meng can accept.

Liu Jiao advised: "King You Xian must not do it. The Han people often say that victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. Since it is a war, there must be winners and losers. We can keep the grassland and don't worry about losing cattle and sheep. Now there are only nine

The original place is still there, let's go to Jiuyuan, maybe we can make a comeback in the future."

Liu Meng was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, agreed to Liu Jiao's suggestion, gathered the remaining soldiers, and headed in the direction of Jiuyuan.

Since the Huns were all cavalry, they moved faster. Even if they were defeated, only a part of the troops were wiped out by the Wei army. In the end, most of the troops escaped and followed Liu Meng to join Liu Teng.

In fact, after Liu Teng and Liu Bao withdrew their troops from Dongguan, they did not return to Jiuyuan immediately. Instead, they marched to Dongshan and temporarily stopped on the mountain.

After hearing the news of Liu Meng's defeat, Liu Bao discussed with Liu Teng and believed that in the face of a formidable enemy, the Xiongnu tribes should unite as one, otherwise they would be defeated by the Wei people one by one.

So Liu Bao sent someone down the mountain to help Liu Meng.

At this time, Liu Meng was outnumbered and extremely exhausted. If a Wei army attacked, they would probably have no choice but to capture him without mercy.

Fortunately, with the help of Liu Bao's men, Liu Meng and Liu Jiao were able to safely retreat to Dongshan.

It was inevitable that the four Xiongnu commanders would be a little embarrassed when they gathered together, but fortunately Liu Bao was a smart man and first stated that he was wrong and failed to respond to Liu Meng early, which led to today's defeat.

Naturally, Liu Meng could no longer play up to his pretensions to Shanyu Zhun, and kept saying: "It will be too late for you to regret not listening to the good advice of King Zuo Xian and the Commander of the North."

In the face of a powerful enemy, the four Xiongnu tribes still reached a compromise, put aside their past grudges, and faced the enemy together.

Dongshan was naturally not a place to stay for a long time. After gathering most of the Huns' defeated troops, Liu Teng suggested that all the Huns should go to Jiuyuan to ensure the supply of military supplies.

From the top of Dongshan Mountain, if the weather is fine, you can see Jinyang City in the distance.

Liu Meng looked at this elusive city from a distance and secretly swore that he would definitely come back and take over Jinyang in the future.

This is just a long-cherished wish of Liu Meng. I am afraid that the distance between him and Jinyang City in this life is an insurmountable wall, and if he wants to cross this distance, it will be like a natural chasm.

After leaving Jinyang, he might never have the chance to come here again in this life.

But what Liu Meng couldn't do, Cao Liang could do with ease.

The day after the Battle of Dongguan, Tian Yu tried his best to invite Cao Liang to Jinyang City, and he would personally sweep the bed to welcome him.
