The Southern Xiongnu Qiangqu's army of 150,000 men had been decimated by him, with only tens of thousands remaining in the vicinity of Shangjun Guluo City, barely clinging to life.
While Liu Wei had already dispatched Zhang Liao to occupy Qingyanze, he also wanted to implement a policy of extermination against the remaining tens of thousands of Southern Xiongnu people.
During the Five Barbarian Invasions, the Five Barbarian tribes included the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Di, Jie, and other non-Han ethnic groups. Xue Rengui encountered the Jie tribe while marching through the desert south of the Yellow River and easily wiped them out.
After Zhang Liao went to wipe out the remnants of the Southern Xiongnu, the remaining Xiongnu were the Yu Chujian Chanyu tribe, who lived in Jinwei Mountain and migrated westward to Kangju.
The Northern Xiongnu were even more ferocious and savage.
Liu Wei knew that the Northern Xiongnu were behind the southward migration of the Cheshi people.
Unexpectedly, the Northern Xiongnu also sent troops to participate in the war.
Upon hearing Liu Wei's loud command, a hundred guards cavalrymen raised their swords and mercilessly attacked the Xiongnu, causing blood to flow like a river.

The two armies clashed, with cavalrymen swarming like fish crossing a river, their swords flashing coldly as they reaped the heads of the Northern Xiongnu cavalry.
The light and sharp saber was very suitable for cavalry to fight on horseback.
The cavalry used the techniques of chopping, slashing, slicing, stabbing, and thrusting very smoothly.
With warhorses equipped with stirrups and saddles, dealing with the outdated Northern Xiongnu cavalry was incredibly easy.
Liu Wei brandished his sword, eager to personally kill a few Northern Xiongnu people to test its power.
Unfortunately, the cavalrymen around him protected him tightly, making it impossible for him to make a move.
Even if one or two Xiongnu cavalrymen got close, they would have been dealt with by Shen Lian with a single slash long ago.
Liu Wei could only give Shard a wry smile: "Little princess, why is it so difficult for me to kill someone with my own hands?"
It was only then that Shard truly witnessed what the iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty was all about.
One hundred cavalrymen moved through three thousand enemy cavalrymen as if they were nothing.
Liu Wei's earlier statement that a hundred cavalrymen stormed into the city was no exaggeration.
"I urge Your Highness to quickly storm the city. I fear that the traitorous Prime Minister will attempt to poison my father!"
While marveling at the ferocity of Liu Wei's cavalry, Shard was deeply worried about the situation in Loulan City.
"Hehe, Princess, don't worry, the gates of Loulan City are not far ahead!"
Liu Wei said calmly.
