Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 171 Innocent and Misfortune

Liangzhou, Guzang.

Qifu Sifan had been waiting for Huan Xi for some time. As Zhu Xu's 40,000 state troops entered Liangzhou, Qifu Sifan also learned that Huanxi's so-called 50,000-strong army was patrolling the west. It turned out that these rabble-rousers were the main force. host.

However, he did not send troops to attack Jincheng and Xiping counties. The reason was Huan Xi's positioning of state and county soldiers. They could not fight in the field, but they were capable of defending the city.

Zhu Xu assigned 20,000 state and county troops to garrison Xiping County to assist Yang An, the prefect of Xiping. He also led 20,000 state and county troops to garrison Jincheng County, which was enough to stabilize the situation.

However, the Xianbei cavalry under Qifu Sifan are not good at attacking cities. If they really want to lead them to attack fortresses, it is tantamount to using their own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points.

Of course, more importantly, according to the intelligence sent back from Jincheng and Xiping counties, the reason why Huan Xi did not appear in Longyou for a long time was because he had temporarily received news of the Xianbei rebellion and was now deploying troops at Longguan. Send generals and wait for 30,000 elite infantry and thousands of Xiongnu horse archers to come and join together.

This made Qifu Si Fan feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, and he did not dare to attack Jincheng and Xiping counties, fearing that Huan Xi's reinforcements would arrive soon.

Qifu Sifan's worried look also fell into the eyes of his uncle Qifu Tulei.

Qifu Tulei was very aware of his nephew's worries. After all, Huan Xi had conquered the country in recent years, winning many battles and becoming famous.

Even his father Huan Wen is considered to be as prominent as he is now with the help of his son.

Qifu Tulei comforted him and said:

"Si Fan, you don't need to worry about this. When Huan Xi captured Liangzhou, he was eager to fight back. It was precisely because Fu Jian threatened Guanzhong.

"Now that Huan Xi has once again sent out his best troops, we will not be able to fight for a long time.

"As long as we hold on to the city and wait for Fu Jian to send out troops, everything will be fine."

Qifu Sifan nodded when he heard this. He also heard about the hatred between Huan Xi and Fu Jian.

He also believed that Fu Jian would definitely seize the opportunity to attack Guanzhong and force Huan Xi to return reinforcements.

As everyone knows, Huan Xi did not recruit the so-called 30,000 elite infantry at all. These people still stayed in Guanzhong, and how could Fu Jian dare to act rashly.

In fact, even in Longyou, only two people knew Huan Xi's true plan, namely Zhu Xu and Yang An.

Zhu Xu even asked the counties and counties in Qinzhou to mobilize grain to prepare for Huanxi's army to go west. This was so well done that even officials from all over Qinzhou were kept in the dark, let alone the lurking people. Internal response from Xiping and Jincheng.

Xianbei Poduolan Tribe, also known as Gaoping Xianbei, after Lujie Xianbei and Qifu Xianbei left the Hetao area one after another, they occupied Gaopingchuan (now Guyuan, Ningxia) in the southwest of the Xitao Plain, hence the name Gaoping Xianbei.

When the Poduolan Tribe crossed the Yinshan Mountains in the late Western Jin Dynasty, one branch chose to go eastward and lived in Dai. They submitted to Tuoba Xianbei and helped him found the country. The name of the tribe was simplified to Duolan, and was later transliterated as the Helan Tribe, that is, An important part of the Dai Kingdom, the Xianbei Helan tribe.

The other branch is now the Gaoping Xianbei. They were weak at first, living in Gaopingchuan and relying on the Tiefu Xiongnu, the overlord of the Hetao.

However, as the Tiefu Xiongnu's strong-willed nature was exposed, Gaoping Xianbei gradually broke away from the control of the Tiefu Xiongnu.

Gaoping Xianbei has more than 6,000 tents and a population of tens of thousands.

In the early years, because Hou Zhao was reorganizing his troops in Guanlong and preparing to attack Qianliang, Gaoping Xianbei was afraid of harming Chiyu, so he took the initiative to move westward. Now he lives in Yinchuan on the only way to Wugu Mountain in Maitian.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Poduolan tribe that Qifu Sifan never considered the possibility that Huan Xi could attack Maitian Wugushan from Yinchuan.

After all, the Poduolan tribe has always had a close relationship with Qifu Xianbei. Even if Huanxi wanted to take advantage of the passage, he would secretly send someone to notify him.

Not only the Han people know the truth of lip death and teeth cold, but in the face of this troubled times, the Xianbei tribes in the Longyou region also understand that they must help each other in order to maintain their independence. It has been decades since the Poduolan tribe went south, but they still have not changed their nomadic habits of chasing water and grass and living in no fixed place. They are now grazing near the old city of Suanjuan (now Zhongwei, Ningxia).

Suanjuan County was established during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was originally subordinate to Anding County. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, a Qiang uprising broke out there. The Central Plains Dynasty lost control of Suanjuan County and the county seat was abandoned.

The chief of the Podolan tribe, Podolan Muchen, did not know that the danger was coming. In fact, he had no idea that he would be in any danger.

There were singing and dancing in the camp, and Podolan Muchen was toasting with the nobles.

Some time ago, the Podolan tribe got a new batch of calves, which is undoubtedly something worth celebrating.

Cows are animals that are in heat all year round. Unlike sheep, which are in heat seasonally, sheep basically do not give birth to lambs in summer, so they only have spring lambs, autumn lambs, and winter lambs.

In the darkness, a group of elite cavalry quietly surrounded the entire camp.

Although the Poduolan tribe did not surrender to Huan Xi, they never showed any disrespect.

Even if Huan Xi used to mobilize the archers and cavalry from the Xitao Plain to go south, the Poduolan tribe never plundered Yinchuan because they were worried about provoking Huan Xi's revenge.

Nowadays, a rebellion is breaking out in Liangzhou and it is making a big fuss. However, he has never offended Huan Xi. How could Po Duolan Muchen expect that Huan Xi would take action against him.

As a sharp and ear-piercing arrow shot into the sky, the sound of horse hooves sounded from all directions. The simple camp was vulnerable to the hooves of the elite spearmen.

Deng Xia led five thousand horsemen and horsemen roaring into the Poduolan tribe's camp, while Xie Ai and Zhou Chu led eight thousand horsemen and horsemen to wander around the periphery, hunting down the Xianbei people who escaped in the chaos.

Especially in the west and south directions, heavy troops were mobilized. Huan Xi would never allow anyone to break out from the west and south directions and go to Wugu Mountain in Maitian to warn Xianbei.

While the spearmen were killing people, they were setting fires. The fire was soaring into the sky, and the night was like daylight, leaving no place for the Xianbei people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

The Poduolan tribe was defenseless. They only had 6,000 troops. Even if Huan Xi gave them time to prepare the Poduolan tribe, they would not be a match for the 5,000 elite spearmen, let alone being beaten out of reach.

Flesh and flesh cannot resist the torrent of iron armor, and the spears in the hands of the cavalry willfully harvest the lives of anyone who dares to resist.

Cries and wailings came and went.

Po Duolan watched all this in despair. In confusion, he was captured and brought to Huan Xi.

At this time, Poduolan Muchen finally came to his senses and asked Huan Xi:

"It is not the fault of Liang Gong who destroyed the Duolan tribe. Why did he suffer this misfortune?"

Huan Xi said coldly:

"The Duolan tribe invaded and occupied the old territory of the Han Dynasty, and I sent troops to attack them. What does it mean that the troops came out without a name?"

Of course, the current disaster of Poduolan tribe has nothing to do with whether they invaded the old land of the Han Dynasty.

They just blocked Huan Xi's path to attack Qifu Xianbei, so Huan Xi needed to kick them away.
