As Liu Yu guessed, the barbarian cavalry discovered by the front army kept a distance and did not fight after seeing the Han army appear.

Even when the Han cavalry came forward to pursue, these Hulu cavalry avoided fighting against Han cavalry whose number was far less than that of them. Even the cavalry that the Hulu cavalry was best at did not happen.

"Your Majesty, these barbarians are very slick and can't catch any survivors."

Zhao Kun, who had led his army to pursue him for most of the day, said panting.

"Our army is majestic and tidy. Not to mention these miscellaneous Hu cavalry, even if Tu Gezi from Bingzhou comes, it may not be able to shake our army."

Liu Yu had long thought of this result.

"If you don't care about these barbarian cavalry, just let them follow."

Today, there is still a large number of cavalry in the Han army. Especially after separating many cavalry to defend Xuzhou and Yanzhou, Liu Yu's marching led a total of no more than 3,000 cavalry, nearly half of which were infantry riding horses, and they were not considered serious cavalry.

Moreover, Liu Yu's cavalry were all intended to be used as cavalrymen, and fighting with these cavalry was really useless.

"Your Majesty, if they keep following us, then our every move will be spying on us by them." Zhao Kun was a little unwilling.

"What's wrong! These barbarians have been shocked and dare not approach them. Even if they are with us for the rest of their lives, they will not hurt a single hair."

In fact, Liu Yu had no good way to drive away these Hu cavalry. However, the supply line of the Han army is not very long now, and even if these Hu cavalry are nearby, there is no big threat.

"I'll send the troops to speed up their pace. Before sunset today, I must arrive in Qingyang City. As long as I reach Qingyang, I can rest for a day of peace of mind."

Although the Hulu relied on their troops to try to clear the fields in Qinghe County, it was obvious that they were too confident in their dominance.

Although many fortress tyrants were forced to migrate, many of the powerful and cities that were determined, or knew that the Han army in Qingzhou would soon arrive, chose to stand firm and wait for assistance.

For example, in Qingyang and Dongwu cities in Qinghe County, the powerful soldiers and civilians attacked and killed the garrisoned Hulu, defending the city and waiting for foreign aid.

After knowing which barbarians had no courage to come forward to block the fight, the Han soldiers under Liu Yu all calmly and boldly accelerated their pace, ignoring the surrounding barbarians at all.

After discovering that these Han troops ignored their possible threats, these wandering and unattacked cavalry finally plucked up their courage and began to tentatively harass them with cavalry and shooting.

However, with the more powerful infantry crossbows fighting back, these barbarian cavalry basically gained nothing except for dozens of casualties and injuries.

"Hmph, I'm really deadly. Do you really think that riding and shooting is invincible?"

After seeing the result, Liu Yu not only smiled coldly.

The so-called invincible theory of cavalry and shooting is to bully the weak. When encountering a real strong opponent, cavalry wearing heavy armor must also be required to rush into the formation.

If the infantry is difficult to break, it is often necessary to dismount the horse and fight in the field, because the fighting will of the horse is far inferior to that of the human will.

"Haha, Your Majesty, these barbarians are all mixed barbarians, and they have nothing to do with great power."

Wu Xin, the cavalry who had just led the cavalry to rush to the end, said.

"I saw that there were still a few more survivors? Go and ask for an interview and see if there is any information available." Liu Yu ordered.

"As for your order, your Majesty."

When Wu Xin left and returned, he did not bring back any useful news.

"Your Majesty, these barbarians are very stupid. They don't know any maps or military secrets. They only know how to fight with the tribe chiefs, saying that they should try to delay our army's marching speed and try to make us arrive at Qingyang City later."

After hearing this, Liu Yu asked again.

"That's all? Those few barbarians shouldn't have deliberately concealed anything."

Wu Xin smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have interrogated them separately. After several water-shooting, they all said it. The few people said the same thing, and it should not be a false statement."

"It seems that these barbarians are all miscellaneous soldiers, and Shi Le's army may not be able to approach it in a long time."

These barbarians and cavalry do not have very high combat power, and they can do something to oppress good. If they face the well-armed Han army, they will not have much chance of winning.

Even so, Shi Le still wants to send them here, which must be the intention to hold back Liu Yu's pace.

"Since Shi Le is afraid that we will enter Qingyang City, I will occupy Qingyang City as soon as possible."

Liu Yu felt that the army led by Shi Le would definitely not be able to arrive quickly, so he sent these mixed Hu cavalry to stop it. In this way, he would enter Qingyang City as soon as possible.

At the same time, on the field two or three miles away.

A general of Jiehu stretched his neck on the horse's back and looked at the direction of the Han army in Qingzhou.

"These pseudo-Han infantrymen were unexpectedly so agitated!"

Just two rounds of cavalry and shooting approaching the infantry army caused the Jiehu Chieftain to lose several cavalrymen.

"I really don't know what the Duke of Ji County sent me to do!"

The general of Jiehu complained quietly while feeling sorry for his losses.

At this time, another Jie Hu spoke.

"Okay, don't complain anymore. As long as the plan succeeds, General Shi will definitely be able to avoid the benefits of you."

"Now the army led by General Shi is about to arrive. As long as these pseudo-Han soldiers enter Qingyang City, our army will definitely trap them to death in Qingyang City."

He looked at the Qingzhou Han army, who was marching rapidly in the distance, with hatred eyes in his eyes.

"As long as these Qingzhou soldiers enter Qingyang City, General Shi's plan will be successful."

Youzhou, Fanyang County.

The sky just turned white and it was not yet bright.

The heavy fog did not dissipate either.

The Zhuo County town where the Grand Governor Wang Jun is stationed, there is still time to open the city gate.

However, a team of cavalry moving quietly had already arrived outside Zhuo County.

"The Great Shanyu, the city gate in front has not been opened yet. Should I ask them to open the door?" Duan Yang asked.

Duan Ji and Lu Juan's face were already wet with mist, and when the breeze blew, it was very cold.

However, this made his mind clearer.

"Did you see it accurately? Is there nothing abnormal?" Duan Ji and Lu Juan said.

"I saw it accurately, there was nothing unusual, just some ordinary soldiers guarding it, so there should be no fraud."

After listening to Duan Yang's words, Duan Ji and Lu Juan pondered for a while.

According to the agreement between Duan Ji and Lu Jun and Zao Song, Duan's army entered the city at this gate early this morning, and all the defenders guarding this gate were Zao Song's confidants.

Knowing that Duan Ji and Lu Jun called the gate according to the agreed secret code, the defenders would open the city gate, and then tens of thousands of Duan Xianbei could pour into Zhuo County.

Under the guidance of the people arranged by Zao Song and others, they took the place of the Grand Governor Wang Jun. As long as Wang Jun is captured, a large amount of evidence of usurping and plotting against Jin can be found, and then Zao Song will replace it.

"The more secure this matter is, the better." Duan Jilu Jun thought for a while, and finally said.

"Duan Xiu, when we came, we passed by a house. I heard a lot of cattle and sheep sounds in that family. You go to that family and borrow their cattle and sheep for use."

When Duan Xiu heard this, he immediately took the order and left.

By the time Duan Xiu came back, he had already driven hundreds of sheep and many cattle and horses together.

Obviously, the family Duan Xiu went to "borrow" was not a simple person, and maybe he was a person with a higher rank than Duan Ji and Lu Jun.

Then, Duan Ji and Lu Juan sent someone to call the door. After meeting the secret code, the defenders indeed opened the city gate.

However, the cautious Duan Ji and Lu Jun did not order Duan's cavalry to enter the city first, but instead ordered people to drive the cattle and sheep that they "borrowed" were first.

"Da Shanyu, why is this?" Duan Xiu asked inexplicably.

"Hmph, Zao Song is very cunning at this time. Who knows if he will harm us by this? Now he drives these cattle and sheep in front and blocks the alleys in the city. Even if there are ambushes, he will not be able to attack suddenly." Duan Ji and Lu Juan said proudly.

"Oh! So that's it, the Great Shanyu is indeed brilliant." Duan Xiu couldn't help but say.

Sure enough, the ending was as expected, there were no ambush in Zhuo County. Amid the noisy sound of cattle and sheep, the soldiers of Duan's troops immediately occupied the city gate defense.

"Haha, boys, follow me into the city!" After confirming safety, Duan Ji and Lu Juan immediately rushed forward and entered Zhuo County.

Because he had already prepared, the cavalry of Duan's army met the guide arranged by Zao Song shortly after he entered the city.

Soon, the two armies attacked everywhere in Zhuo County, occupying all the vital places.

For a time, chaos was everywhere in Zhuo County.

Even Wang Jun, who lived in the mansion, heard the movement outside in the room.

As soon as he got up and tried to order someone to check, he suddenly heard an urgent shout.

"Ming Gong, Ming Gong, it's not good, the thieves from Duan's army have rebelled!"

"Who is it?" Wang Jun only heard the voice and did not see anyone. He immediately ran out the door barefoot in a hurry.

"Ming Gong, Duan Ji and Lu Juan, this dog thief, entered the city, and he was indeed rebelling."

It turned out to be one of Wang Jun's confidants Cui Pi, and the other identity is Wang Jun's wife's brother.

"Impossible, Duan Ji and Lu Jun are still stationed in Shihengwu, how could he come to Zhuo County so soon!" Wang Jun roared.

"Ming Gong, Duan's army came overnight, which was beyond everyone's expectations." Cui Pi said with an ugly expression.

"It's not time to open the city gate yet, how could the servants of Duan's army enter the city?"
