In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos.
Liu Wei transmigrated to become a prince of the Eastern Han, initially framed by Empress Dowager He and granted the barren and dangero...
Diao Chan followed him from Luoyang when he was in trouble, and Liu Wei promised to marry her properly.
Now that she is pregnant and about to set off for Yunzhong, it is natural to take care of this matter in advance.
This move will surely boost the morale of the soldiers of the Marquis of Yinshan's mansion.
Yao Guangxiao, Zhang Liao, Li Su, Liu Du, Pugu Huaiyu, and others will join Liu Wei to form a main force and march into Yunzhong.
Xue Rengui's 4,000 cavalrymen were a surprise force, crossing the Tong River, passing through the south bank of the Yellow River, and making a long-distance raid along the edge of the desert.
The goal is to capture the Manyi Valley Fortress, which is located at the border of Yunzhong and Jiuyuan County.
Manyi Valley.
It is the vital passage of the Yellow River, which stretches southward from the Daqingshan Mountains between Yunzhong and Jiuyuan counties.
A riverside corridor that is two miles wide and ten miles long.
If Yunzhong and Jiuyuan are the two bellies of a gourd, then Manyi Valley is the neck of the gourd.
Once Liu Wei's main force marches straight towards Yunzhong.
Huchuquan would then be mobilized, and the Xiongnu troops from Jiuyuan and Shuofang would also come to join the battle.
Perhaps even the Xianbei people from southern Mongolia will join in!
Liu Wei's current intention is very clear: to recapture the four counties of Yunzhong.
The Xiongnu people here had only two choices: either flee to the north of Yinshan to herd sheep, or submit to Liu Wei.
This was the Southern Xiongnu's last battle for survival.
If Huchuquan doesn't fight desperately to defend Yunzhong, once defeated, the only thing waiting for these remnants of the Xiongnu is to eke out a living in the bitter, cold desert beyond the Yin Mountains.
That night, outside Shanwu City, in the Qingshui River Valley to the west!
A cold wind howls, and the crescent moon hangs like a hook!
Four thousand soldiers and eight thousand warhorses stood in a dense forest, their menacing presence reaching the sky.
Liu Wei rode his horse to the front of these battle-hardened soldiers.
He wants to equip these cavalrymen with two-star military gear!
