Chapter 849 Soldiers Approaching Pingyang City
Three days later, the Huns finally arrived.
The 100,000 troops arrived at the foot of Pingyang City, and the leader was the Xiongnu Shanyu Huchuquan, who is currently the king who controls everything in the southern Xiongnu.
On both sides of him, there were two people dressed luxuriously, obviously they were people of very high status.
The person on the right of Hu Chuquan is obese and has a very fierce face.
This person is the current Youxian King Qubei of the Huns, and he is also the son of Huchuquan.
The person on Huchuquan's left is well-proportioned, but he is wearing armor, which is completely Han Chinese.
This person is the son of Yu Fuluo, the former Xiongnu Shanyu, and Liu Bao, the current Zuoxian King of the Huns.
The Xiongnu was different from the practice of the Han Dynasty. They respected the left.
Zuo Xianwang is equivalent to the crown prince. After Hu Chuquan's death, Shan Yu's position will be automatically succeeded by Zuo Xianwang.
This is also the reason why Hu Chuquan succeeded Shan Yu after Yu Fuluo's death.
Although Liu Bao is a Hun, since he was born, he has been in frequent contact with the Han people, and he loves the culture of the Han Dynasty even more.
Especially for the Art of War class, I can't put it down!
It's a pity that Liu Bao's intelligence is limited, and he has almost only learned a little bit.
Even so, Liu Bao has a detached position among the Huns, and even Shanyu Huchuquan is full of praise for Liu Bao.
Liu Bao's super high status among the Huns is more due to his studiousness and conduct, not from his status as the Zuo Xianwang.
This time Hu Chuquan led 100,000 elites to the south, and he was persuaded by Liu Bao.
The Xiongnu army went south without encountering any resistance, and all counties and counties along the way were in a state of empty cities.
Hu Chuquan led the army without any delay, and went straight to the city of Pingyang.
Because the royal court of the Huns got the news that the Yizhou Army is stationing troops in Pingyang City!
However, after Hu Chuquan led his army to the city of Pingyang, the scene in front of him was completely different from what he had imagined.
It even made him a little... astonished.
"King Zuo Xian, what's going on?"
Listening to Shan Yu's puzzled look, Liu Bao's eyes also showed a very strong confusion.
The gate of Pingyang City in front of him was wide open, making it look like an empty city.
But the city is covered with dense banners and the defenders are waiting in full battle. How could it be an empty city? "Chan Yu, there are frauds in Pingyang City, don't move lightly!"
Hu Chuquan nodded heavily, and he thought so too.
After being defeated by Cao Cao several times, Hu Chuquan also roughly understood the laws of Han people's warfare.
You can't believe what you see!
If the opponent is waiting in full battle, it means that they must be ready to fight.
If the opponent doesn't seem to have any defenses, it means that the opponent must have an ambush!
When Hu Chuquan was ordered by Yuan Shu to attack Chenliu, he was ambushed by Cao Cao and lost many soldiers in the first battle.
Hu Chuquan himself had no choice but to surrender to Cao Cao.
Since Liu Zhang buried 100,000 Xianbei alive, Hu Chuquan was even more afraid of the Yizhou Army.
If it wasn't for Liu Bao's forced request, he wouldn't be an enemy of Liu Zhang at this time.
Just as Shan Yu and Zuo Xianwang were thinking about the purpose of the Yizhou Army, the voice of You Xianwang Qubei suddenly came over.
"Father, big brother, why are you afraid of him?"
"Liu Zhang is not in Pingyang at all, and there are only ten or twenty thousand people here at most. How can it beat our army of one hundred thousand?"
Hu Chuquan frowned when he heard the words, then gave him a humble look, and became very depressed in his heart.
They are also the grandsons of Qiang Qu Shanyu, why is the eldest brother Yu Fuluo's son Liu Bao so smart and capable! His own son is like a mentally handicapped man, he only knows how to fight, fight, kill, kill?
"Shut up, what do you know!"
"Oh…"
Qubei has a rough appearance and a violent personality, but he is only afraid of his father, Hu Chuquan.
Hu Chuquan yelled angrily, so frightened that Qubei immediately closed his mouth.
"King Zuo Xian, this Yizhou army is not easy to deal with! For Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, is it worth the risk for us?"
Hu Chuquan has some regrets, especially after facing difficulties, the regret in his heart is stronger.
Liu Bao smiled and gave Hu Chuquan a comforting look.
"Don't worry about Shan Yu, although Liu Zhang is tyrannical, there is nothing he can do now!"
"What's more, marching into Hedong County this time is equivalent to befriending Cao Cao and Yuan Shao at the same time."
"In the future, no matter who wins between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, we, the Huns, will have a place!"
Liu Bao's willingness to take the risk to come here is also after careful consideration.
Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao did not pay a real price, both of them promised to give the Xiongnu people to multiply and live in Hedong County, Hongnong County, Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng and Jing Zhaoyin.
And they all promised to use Hangu Pass as the boundary to watch each other!
It's just that Yuan Shao's purpose is to let Huchuquan deter Yanzhou, and Cao Cao's purpose is to let Huchuquan deter Bingzhou.
Liu Bao was not in a hurry to send troops at first, and planned to march to the east of the river after this winter.
Unexpectedly, I suddenly received news that Hedong was migrating people on a large scale.
The Huns are stupid, but they can't be so stupid that they don't want any people!
They still need the Han people to plow the land for them to produce food, how can they ask for an empty shell of Hedong?
Therefore, Liu Bao suggested that Hu Chuquan immediately raise troops and enter Hedong County.
Hu Chuquan refused at first, because he heard that it was the Yizhou Army who moved the people of Hedong County.
For Liu Zhang, the General of the Guards who slaughtered 200,000 Xianbei people and 400,000 Qiang people, Hu Chuquan was afraid from the bottom of his heart!
If you have a good stay in Hetao, why do you want to anger Liu Zhang?
This is sure to cause trouble!
Maybe it will catch fire!
Liu Bao talked a lot, analyzed and persuaded, and finally persuaded Hu Chuquan.
Only then did Hu Chuquan lead 100,000 people who control strings to rush into Hedong to stop the population from migrating.
However, Liu Bao was still a step too late, the counties and counties near the Hetao area had already run out of population.
In Hedong County, there are very few cities along the Yellow River, and most of them are concentrated on the Fenshui line.
Therefore, after discussing with Liu Bao, Hu Chuquan immediately decided to cross the mountains and lead the army to the former Xianbei royal court, Pingyang County.
In fact, when Huchuquan arrived in Pingyang County and saw the big Liu character flag on the city wall, he still couldn't help feeling afraid.
Especially the city gate opened in Pingyang City Cave reveals endless weirdness!
"King Zuo Xian, Liu Zhang is cunning, Qiang Hu, and Xianbei are all killed by him, we must be careful!"
It's not that Hu Chuquan is as timid as a mouse, it's just that today's Huns are not what they were hundreds of years ago. They have a big family and a big business, so losses are nothing.
Once the 100,000 troops are gone, the Southern Huns will almost be gone too!
"Don't worry, Shanyu! Let's observe here first and see what tricks the Yizhou army is playing!"
Liu Bao's mouth was very relaxed, but his heart was also very nervous.
The ambition in his heart is extremely high, and he can't wait to achieve a great cause, how can he bear the end of a fiasco?
This time Liu Bao came to Hedong not only to make friends with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
It proves to the world that there is still such a person as Liu Bao in this world!
