The main force of the Later Han Emperor Liu Yuan was separated by Gaotang County in the south of Pingyuan County. The focus of the Han army's strategy was the northeast direction of Pingyuan County. Among them, the main force of the two Han army in Pingyuan was no less than 150,000 to 100,000 troops. After the dramatic battle, both sides suffered heavy losses, but the Han people took the defensive force and retreated to Gaotang and the front line of the Pingyuan, which instead took the lead.

Whether it is a wounded soldier or a new force, the Han people only need to be part of the battlefield in the city. On the other hand, the troops under Liu Yuan's command were injured and killed, and there were many wounded people in the city. Those with minor injuries could still fight hard, while those with serious injuries could only stay in the camp.

After the fierce battle, the Han people suffered more losses than the Hu army, but the Hu army's strength had been broken by the Han army. It was almost impossible to cross the Gaotang and the Han army's defensive positions on both sides of the plains.

Shile, who was stationed in Qinghe County, had limited troops, and the reinforcements heading south from the north were firmly controlled by Murong Wei. The troops of Qinghe County did not strengthen at all, but instead lost thousands of troops and horses. It was difficult for a moment to become a powerful party to support Liu Yuan's main force in combat.

In this way, the Han army that could prevent the Han people from plotting against the three cities in the northeast of the plain was only Murong Yan's troops. However, even if the reinforcements from the north were cut off, Murong Yan could mobilize not much troops after several major battles. What's more, after occupying the Leling Kingdom, the Han army in Qingzhou could land on the north bank of the Yellow River or the east coast of Leling without any obstacles. With the main Han army in the plain, the result is conceivable.

Leling is located in the east, the Yellow River in the south, and the plain is connected to the west, and the north is only attacked by the enemy. The baggage troops are continuously opened from the southeast waterways. There are even tens of thousands of civilians who have crossed the river and built a large-scale construction of forts to protect the main city strongholds in Leling. Thousands of Han cavalry lightly used the main forces of the Hu army to attack the Hu people's food route day and night, which made Murong Wei a little tired and difficult to do his best.

Worried that the Han people would expand into Qinghe County and beware of the Han army, who were on the verge of the plains, were attacked from the front. In addition, the rear was constantly harassed by the Han cavalry in Leling, so there would naturally not be too many troops sent out to confront the Han army in Leling. Murong Jie's army had to set up defenses everywhere and worry everywhere. It was difficult to exert its true strength during operation.

On the other hand, the Han army was in favorable situation and bewitched by suspicion of soldiers, even if the opponent saw through it, they were not afraid. As long as the Hu people focus on the battle of the three cities in the northeast, the Han army in the Pingyuan would divide the troops into two groups to attack Murong Shui on the front and Qinghe County on the flank. Such accurate fighting style made the Hu people very uncomfortable. The result of being careful in every situation was that they could not take into account the defense of the three cities in the northeast.

After several days of tug-of-war, Murong Wei was unable to effectively distribute troops to fight the Han army in Leling, and it was reasonable for the Han army to recover the entire plain.

The scale of the fort began to expand, and grain and soldiers flowed into the plains continuously. A large amount of labor from the Central Plains increased the construction speed of Leling and the plains, a county. The plan to eliminate food by the Later Han emperor Liu Yuan was completely ineffective, and the morale of the Han army was greatly boosted and people were excited.

With the support of Pingyuan and Leling Kingdom, the Han army along the Yellow River was even more bold in action. At the same time, the main forces of the Hu army from Liu Yuan and Murong Wei were also likely to be surrounded by the Han army. For a moment, the Hu army retreated one after another, and a war seemed to be coming to an end.

However, the enemy was forced to dig up a foothold on his own territory. Liu Yuanthing was furious and ordered the logistics supply to quickly follow up, raise the money, grain and supplies teams needed by the army, etc. He even divided his troops into Liaocheng, Boping and Chiping to eye Gaotang County, and had a great momentum to continue attacking.

On the other hand, the reinforcements from the north and south were ordered by Liu Yuan to enter Qinghe County to replenish Shi Le's troops, and even added Shile's official title to increase his troops. Murong Jie's army retreated into Dongguang City in Bohai County, took over Nanpi's troops and supplies and then suppressed the Leling Han army.

Such an arrangement can barely hold the Han people in place, but seeing the increasing number of docks still makes the Hu people feel a little afraid and panic. If there are hundreds of docks like this, wouldn’t the country want to lose a hundred miles of land?

...

With the joint force of Wang Mi and Liu Yao on the battlefield on the Western Front, the momentum of the Han army could not maintain its initial prosperity. However, the Han army general Luo Xian held Chaoge tightly, and other heavy troops were stationed in Liyang. For a time, even if the Hu army was no longer limited to one road, the battles in Binghuang, Fanyang and other places were never frontal, and the harassment on the flanks could not shake the Han army's defense system.

The Han army even dispatched Zhuge Shang to lead his army to set up a barracks in Dunqiu and Wei State to block the harassment attacks launched by the Hu people from Fanyang, Yin'an and other places.

Jiang Wei, the Han general of the Han Dynasty, was stationed in Henoi. Although the Hedong area could not continue to expand the results, he firmly controlled the main forces of the two Hu army, Yuwen's army and Zhang Fang. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Han general Zhao Tong, who set out from Chang'an, led tens of thousands of troops into Xihe County, divided his troops to pacify Tao, and Zhongyang posed a certain threat to the former land of the Huns.

All battles were more than a hundred victories, and there were few achievements. The prince Liu He, who stayed in Yedu, was even more furious. The front was invincible, the troops to reinforce the front line continued to increase, and the transportation and supply tasks in the rear continued to increase. Seeing that the military rations in various places were sharply reduced, but there was no way to supplement them, Liu He was helpless and could only wait for his father to speak.

All Han troops were captured, but they did not expect that the Liaodong military information was shocked!

The Liaodong troops led by Lu Ji and Yin Liao advanced all the way into Goguryeo. They did not expect to fall into the strategy of Liu Cong, the general of the Later Han chariot and cavalry, and were buried everywhere in the area. The Han army lost more than 10,000 consecutive battles. Yin Liao even fell into a dead end. Even Lu Ji and other figures were seriously injured and unconscious. For a while, the Liaodong side had no leader and quickly sent a message to the emergency.

When the news came, Liu Dong, the commander of the Han army, was also surprised. He did not expect that there would be people who could defeat Lu Ji on the battlefield behind the Hu people. The war had been going on for a month, with as many as 100,000 soldiers killed in various parts of the Han army, and the casualties of the Hu people were almost around this number. It was not because the lethality of the Han army was comparable to that of the Hu cavalry, but the excessive attacks of the Hu people had consumed too much manpower.

Under such a fierce battle, the Han army was unable to mobilize troops to launch a new offensive against Goguryeo, so they could only retreat to the Japanese island to wait for the opportunity. They even transferred imperial doctors to the Japanese island for treatment.

The strategy was initially reached, and Prince Liu Dong was also preparing to return to the Central Plains. As the prince of the governor, after the bloody battle, no one doubted Liu Dong's strategy and courage. He had no objection to this, but was very supportive.

Liu Dong knew very well that he would continue to stay in the plains, which would only increase the determination of the Hu people to counterattack. On the contrary, when the situation was stalemate, he drew out a group of troops and returned to the Central Plains, which made more people more guard against the Hu people and did not dare to take it lightly. You should know that the entire Yellow River connects sea routes to become the range of Liu Dong's team. He would have the ability to attack any place in Hebei at will. In the face of such a choice, Liu Dong's departure naturally made the Hu people the most headache. After a series of battles, Liu Dong's position in the hearts of the Hu people is no less than that of Liu Chan!

But Jiang Wei, Luo Xian, Zhuge Shang, and Zhao Tong each perform their duties. They are either famous generals who are famous all over the world or capable people who have been through the battlefield for a long time. How can such an opponent be defeated?

"Come here! No, I went to the Yongming Army to seek advice in person!" After thinking for a few years, the Crown Prince Liu He went to Liu Yao's army to find Liu Yao and Zhang Bin's strategy to defeat the enemy according to the ministers' wishes.

...

In Bohai County, Hu Yanyi was finally able to eat and his complexion recovered. After being severely injured by the Han people, Hu Yanyi was in a coma and his injuries occurred several times. Almost everyone thought that the domineering ruler of the Huns was buried in the world for a long time, but at this last moment, Hu Yanyi's injury improved!

The imperial doctors in charge of the treatment were secretly glad that they had come here thousands of miles to save Lord Huyan's life, and finally lived up to His Majesty's entrustedness. Otherwise, once Huyanyi had a few shortcomings, relying on his friendship with His Majesty, His Majesty was so sad that his more than a dozen imperial doctors would be buried with him.

"I didn't expect that the situation is like this, it's all my fault!" Hu Yanyi lying on the sickbed and hissed, his eyes full of unwillingness.

The eldest son Hu Yanyou, as the chief minister of the court, knelt aside and advised: "Your Majesty and the prince are planning a counterattack. Your Majesty has summoned the general of the chariot and cavalry to go south. I think you can win a great victory. Father, you are not injured and rest assured, don't get angry!"

"Liu Cong!?" Hu Yanyi looked stern after hearing this, and his pale and aging face looked even more aging.

"What's wrong? My father just said it's okay." Hu Yanyou had already left the room, and there were only father and son in the huge room. Seeing his father's expression strange, he asked quickly.

Hu Yanyi gasped for a long time before he gathered his strength: "General Cheqi and Cavalry is very good, and the situation of fighting should be improved. But His Highness has always been afraid of General Cheqi and Cavalry, and joined forces with Liu Yao just to consolidate his position so as not to reap profits. Even if he recovers, he is far inferior to the beginning. How can you stand in the court a hundred years later?"

His expression was shocked, and Hu Yanyou burst into tears. He also knew that his father's health would be much worse than before after this severe injury, but he still felt sad when he heard it from his father's mouth.

"My son is cowardly but not great. My father is still running around at the age of a tiring man. I dare to ask how his father deals with himself." Although Hu Yanyou is the son of Hu Yanyi, he is cowardly and does not like martial arts and specializes in Han culture. People in the court are afraid of Hu Yanyi, but no one takes Hu Yanyou seriously.

"You'er, you are still self-aware. Your Highness is very suspicious, he is not a wise ruler. He is both civil and military, and his intelligence is hard to predict. Even if he is a father, he cannot see through his character. If he wants to protect his family, remember not to have great power. Only His Majesty's leader is his... Cough cough..." Hu Yanyi thought of General Liu Cong of the Chef and Cavalry and Crown Prince Liu He, and he coughed again and couldn't help but sigh.

If you are strong and assist Your Highness, it is no difficult to assist His Highness. However, if you suffer this severe damage, it is unknown how long it will take to recover. The power in your hands must be given up. However, although the elites of the Huyan clan emerge, no one can be found. If you insist on maintaining the power, it will inevitably be difficult to have a good end. It is better to...

Hearing the meaning of his father's words, Hu Yanyou trembled and said, "Your Majesty has a good relationship with his father, how could he..."

"What is Your Majesty's business? No one in the clan of Master can hold this power. Instead of losing all your face, it is better to give it up." Hu Yanyi's heart was in a state of great pain. He gritted his teeth and said, "I have this position forever and now I say that I want to give up, how can I be willing to do so?"

Hu Yanyou wanted to tell his father that he could, but he couldn't open his mouth when he spoke. No matter how good his son was, he knew his father. He had never led troops and had always done things under his father's protection. He might not be able to see through whether he had the ability, but his father's vision would never be wrong.

"Father can be relieved with peace of mind. I will repay Your Majesty tomorrow and will bring my father's intentions." Hu Yanyou was ordered to take care of Gu Hu Yanyi's condition, and then he would detour to Qinghe County to go to Liaocheng to report to the Later Han Emperor Liu Yuan.

Hu Yanyi nodded with difficulty, closed his eyes for a long time without any movement. Hu Yanyou knelt beside him and looked at his father, not daring to do anything or say anything, so he waited silently.

After about half an hour, Hu Yanyi had enough strength and finally opened his mouth again: "Murong Yi has many advisers and soldiers, and he has not done his best in this battle. This matter cannot be stated explicitly, but His Majesty should understand."

"Don't worry, my father should reveal his words to Your Majesty." Hu Yanyou knew that his father would definitely mention Murong Li, but in fact he had already prepared. There were rumors outside that Hu Yanyi fought for power, but he was expelled by Murong Li to Leling. Later, he wanted to attack but almost died on the spot. Fortunately, Murong Li went to rescue without grudges, etc.

Hu Yanyou dare not tell Hu Yanyi these words. My father was seriously injured. If he had heard such a saying, wouldn’t he vomit blood directly?

"Your Majesty's eyes are like a torch. No one can deceive Your Majesty. If you say too much, your Majesty will only be disgusted. You just need to convey your father's words." As if seeing his son's determination to target Murong Ting, Hu Yanyi gave up his thoughts and smiled bitterly.

"Father!!" Hu Yanyou was weak and was the overlord of the foreign border. At this moment, he shouted unwillingly.

"You want to disobey your father's order!" Hu Yanyiqiang stood up and stared at him halfway.

"...Yes!" Seeing that his father was so determined, Hu Yanyou left Bohai County and rushed to Liaocheng helplessly.

...

In the small county of Boping, there were crowds of people, and countless soldiers gathered here to hug each other and cried.

Duan Shefuchen stepped in the crowd and felt mixed feelings. Seeing Duan Bosan gathering from all over the place, he felt sad when he was about to go there.

"Class leader." Duan Piqian came near and bowed.

After coming back to his senses, Duan She Fuchen nodded slightly and signaled Duan Piqian to follow him. The two separated the crowd and came to a secluded place. Duan She Fuchen stopped walking: "It is rare for Your Majesty to give me Duan's chance. I know that Piqian and many tribe members do not like me, but this matter is related to the revitalization of my tribe, so you should not act voluntarily."

Duan Piqian bowed slightly and said, "Please rest assured that only the blood of the Han people can clear the shame of our tribe. Duan Piqian will definitely live up to the good intentions of His Majesty and the tribe leader!"

"It's just... it's just a big battle, and it's inevitable that the small town of Boping will be in danger of war... You'll stay here, patriarch..." Duan Piqi immediately wanted to lead all the men to Qinghe County to cooperate with Shi Le in battle. Before leaving, he felt a little worried.

Duan Shefuchen's complexion was far worse than before. The continuous blows made the newly appointed Xianbei warrior look extremely haggard.
