The last three kingdoms

Chapter 722

Fu Zhu and Gao Yuan had their own harvests, Fu Zhu took Peng Hu's head, Gao Yuan took Ma Gelong's head, and returned to Liu Yin excitedly.

Liu Yin looked at the two bloody heads, smiled slightly and said: "Yes, it is indeed two great achievements to get the heads of Peng Hu and Ma Gelong, but how did you complete the tasks I entrusted to you two? How is it?"

Fu Zhu and Gao Yuan immediately looked at each other in blank dismay. Liu Yin had made clear instructions before the battle, to wipe out all the Qiang Hu people would be a complete victory. Although they captured the heads of Peng Hu and Ma Gelong, they However, he failed to completely wipe out Qianghu, and Peng Dangzhong ran away with the people on the other side of the checkpoint.

Although the encirclement circle of the Shu army is very large, the special terrain on the Jinggu pass made it impossible for the Shu army to include the pass side into the encirclement circle. Peng Dangzhong had been attacking the Malan Qiang people before and beheaded them. Ma Gecheng, but when the ambush of the Shu army was exhausted, he immediately retreated back to the checkpoint as soon as he saw that the situation was unfavorable, and fled quickly with the Lu Shui Hu soldiers on the other side of the checkpoint. He and Ma Gelong are the top priority. Knowing that Peng Dangzhong escaped from Fu Zhu and Gao Yuan, he was too weak to do so, so he couldn't take care of it. When the war here was over and he wanted to pursue him, Peng Dangzhong had already escaped without a trace.

Although the results were brilliant, it was a bit of a pity that they could not eat all the Hu people in Lushui. Fu Zhu and Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel ashamed, and their expressions turned serious, and they didn't dare to take credit for it anymore.

Liu Yin didn't blame them too much. After all, the two tribe leaders Peng Hu and Ma Gelong were beheaded in this battle, and Lu Shuihu and Malan Qiang were basically put down, which can be regarded as a complete victory.

Just after cleaning the battlefield here, good news came from Luo Xian's side. Since Peng Hu sent troops to pursue and took away most of the Lu Shui Hu army, the entire Jingyang camp was almost empty. The Jingyang camp was easily conquered, and the remaining Lushuihu people were wiped out on the spot.

In the next few days, the Shu army swept across the entire Anding County and completely wiped out the old nest of the Lu Shuihu people. When the cold winter came, Liu Yin finally took Lu Shuihu and Malan Qiang away. The rebellion of the two major Hu tribes has been completely subsided. In addition to the Haosan tribe of the Xiongnu who were exterminated earlier, three of the four Hu tribes in the Northland have been cut off, and now there is only the last one and the biggest opponent. ——Di Ren Qi Wannian.

When Liu Yin was fighting fiercely in Anding County, Qi Wannian's attack on Weinan was at its final moment. The severe cold and the increasingly strong defenders were undoubtedly Qi Wannian's great enemies.

Compared with the strong defenders, what makes the Di people more unable to resist is the severe cold of several nine. A thin layer of ice has formed on the river surface, but this strength is still unable to bear the weight of the human body. It is even more bitingly cold. If you jump into the river, you will soon be shivering from the cold. If you can't land on the shore in a short time, your whole person will be frozen into a popsicle.

It is almost impossible to cross the river in such severe cold weather. Qi Wannian has already suffered heavy losses due to continuous multi-day attacks. At least 1 people were buried in the glacier, but the operation of crossing the river did not With any progress, Di Bing no longer even had the opportunity to set foot on the south bank of the Weihe River. Chang'an City, which was close at hand, seemed very far away to Qi Wannian.

This undoubtedly drove Qi Wannian into a frenzy. The [-]-strong army came here aggressively, but unexpectedly they returned in defeat. This greatly frustrated Qi Wannian, who was originally full of confidence.

Among the barbarians in the north, Qi Wannian is the most powerful. Since the uprising, Qi Wannian has been the most powerful, and only Qi Wannian dared to openly challenge the army of Shu Han and invade Weinan. Nian is very ambitious, if he captures Chang'an, he will have the idea of ​​establishing himself as emperor.

But things backfired. Qi Wannian's dream was shattered by a seemingly narrow Wei River, and Qi Wannian failed again and again, making Qi Wannian's hope gradually disappear like the Wei River rolling eastward. Other than He Xing sighing, Qi Wannian seemed unable to do anything.

One of Qi Wannian's counselors was called Xu Fang, and he gave Qi Wanjun an idea: "Now the Weishui is ice-thin and cannot bear the load, and the river is too cold to swim across. We have to wait until the winter of March and September when the ice on the river hardens before crossing it with horses. Although the army is strong, it is difficult to defeat our brave cavalry."

Qi Wannian was overjoyed when he heard the words, and went to the riverside every day to check the ice conditions, but it was not cold in a day if it was frozen three feet. Know how many days it takes.

Although Qi Wannian had the patience to wait, it was obvious that Liu Yin would not give him such an opportunity. After sweeping away Lu Shuihu and Malan Qiang, Liu Yin's army came eastward non-stop, intending to outflank Qi Wannian the back road.

In the past, there were defenders guarding the Weishui River, and later, the cavalry of the Shu army came under heavy pressure. Qi Wannian, who has always been calm and calm, suddenly felt pressured. follow in the footsteps.

Mentioning Lu Shuihu and Malan Qiang, Qi Wannian was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. Peng Hu and Ma Gelong, two useless snacks, had reached the point of extermination. It's a bargain, the combined forces of these two tribes are not much worse than the Di people. If they can hold Liu Yin, at least through this winter, then the situation in the entire Guanzhong may undergo earth-shaking changes.

It's a pity that instead of being able to hold Liu Yin back, they were all wiped out by Liu Yin. The massive uprising of the four major Hu tribes in the north ended up being the only ones left to fight alone.

Peng Dangzhong led the remnants of the Lushui Hu people to seek refuge with Qi Wannian. Although there were not many troops, Qi Wannian accepted it gladly, and let Peng Dangzhong enjoy the same treatment as the Hun Hao Yuandu. Now it is time to employ people Of course, Qi Wannian didn't think it would be better if there were fewer people.

Although Qi Wannian had the intention to wait until the Weihe River was frozen solid in three or nine days before raising troops to cross the river, time was waiting for me. Liu Yin's army had already marched eastward from the direction of Anding and Xinping, and attacked Fuping with an unstoppable force, losing the north. In Dijun, the supply of food and grass for the Di people would be cut off. In this severe winter, lack of food and grass would undoubtedly be fatal.

Despite all kinds of reluctance and helplessness, Qi Wannian finally made up his mind, led his army to withdraw from the north bank of the Weihe River, and retreated to his old nest in Beidi County.
