Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

In mid-September of the third year of Jian'an, the weather in Liaodong was already very cold.

Even the natives of Liaodong are reluctant to come out during this season if it is not necessary.

The same is true for the various Wuhuan tribes who live a semi-nomadic, semi-fishing and hunting lifestyle. They all gathered in the Bailang Mountain area and Wuhuan settlements in tribal units to prepare for the winter.

The gathering point of Wuhuan tribes is located between the valley to the north of Yanshan Mountain and the south of Bailang Mountain. Bailang Mountain serves as a barrier to block the cold wind coming from the northwest.

Therefore, the Wuhuan people also created a city here, named Liucheng.

Although its status is not as good as the Dragon City of the Xiongnu Chanyu, it is still similar.

It can be said that Liucheng at the foot of Bailang Mountain is the headquarters of Wuhuan's various ministries.

There is also a meandering river at the foot of Bailang Mountain, which brings water to the Wuhuan tribes who live here.

This river is called Yushui, and it is a large river that spreads across half of Liaodong. Bailang Mountain is located in the upper reaches of Yushui.

Hundreds of miles northeast along the Yu River is a long and narrow river valley.

It is surrounded by mountains on both sides and a river and a flat valley in the middle.

09 Both the river valley and the Yu River turn southeast near Yiwulu Mountain, pass through Changli in Liaoxi County, and merge into the Bohai Sea in the southeast.

In other words, the gathering point chosen by the Wuhuan people was not only sheltered by mountains, the terrain was safe, but also had sufficient water resources.

And it can be connected to Liaodong through the river valley, which can be regarded as a treasure land that can be advanced, attacked, retreated and defended.

It’s no wonder that although the Wuhuan people were originally based on Wuhuan Mountain, they now focus more on the Bailang Mountain area.

At this time, about dozens of miles away from Liucheng, Cao Ang was stationed on a hillside in the remaining mountains of Yanshan Mountain, overlooking Liucheng dozens of miles away. He could vaguely see the continuous tents and groups of captive animals. Cattle and sheep.

And in the center surrounded by those continuous tents, there is a city made of rammed earth and mountain rocks. This is Liucheng.

"Unexpectedly, this gathering place for Wuhuan people to spend the winter is quite lively."

Cao Ang looked at it from a distance and said calmly. Tian Chou on the side nodded and said:"The ancestors of the Wuhuan people are Donghu people. Since Donghu was destroyed by Maodun Chanyu of the Xiongnu, they migrated to Liaodong. near mountains.

Relying on Wuhuan Mountain, they recuperated and gradually grew stronger, eventually forming the Wuhuan tribes today.

At the same time, Wuhuan was different from the Huns because there were less grasslands within their sphere of influence.

The Huns were a purely nomadic tribe, while the Wuhuan people were semi-nomadic, semi-fishing and hunting, so they were relatively concerned about settlements."

Tian Chou introduced to Cao Ang calmly.

At this point, a coldness appeared in Tian Chou De's eyes,"It's just that the Wuhuan people have no grassland, so how can they survive by relying only on semi-nomadic herding, fishing and hunting?

At the beginning, when Liu Gong, the herdsman of Youzhou, was there, he thought of recruiting Wuhuan and teaching them to cultivate fertile land and farm in Liaodong.

Although the territory of Liaodong is mountainous, the land is also very fertile, but only a small number of Wuhuan people are willing to obey Liu Gong.

Most of the Wuhuan tribe are still clinging to their original lives, and how can the food obtained from fishing and hunting be enough for so many Wuhuan tribesmen? So they would go south to Youzhou every year and plunder the people of Youzhou. Especially after the Wuhuan tribes had a Tadun Chanyu, they were even more out of control than in the past.

Although Yuan Shao once commanded the four states in Hebei, the land of Youzhou was not completely under his control. His main concern at the beginning was to deal with Gongsun Zan.

Therefore, Yuan Shao did not pay much attention to the plundering of the Wuhuan people, nor did he care much about the border residents in Youzhou.

Just since the first year of Chuping, in just a few years, the Wuhuan people have gone south more than a dozen times, plundering countless villages and taking away more than 100,000 women and children of Youzhou people. As for the money, food and grass that were stolen, they did not count. number.

When I was living in seclusion in Xu Wu Mountain, thousands of families from Youzhou came to join me in the mountains. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Many of them fled into the mountains to find a way to survive because they were plundered by Wuhuan and had no other options.

In the past few years, seeing the lawlessness of the Wuhuan people, I also had the idea of ​​destroying Wuhuan, but because of my lack of strength, I was unable to do anything."

"General, please see, in the settlements of the Wuhuan tribes, in addition to tents, there are many houses and forts, just like my Wubao in Youzhou.

These are all what the Wuhuan people learned from plundering Youzhou. Many of the grain, grass and goods they robbed from Youzhou were hidden inside Liucheng and in the fortresses outside the city.

And only the nobles of the Wuhuan tribe will live in these forts.

It can be said that most of the family fortunes of these Wuhuan people are the blood and sweat of my Han people.

Every grain of grain eaten by the Wuhuan people may contain the blood of our people in Youzhou.……"

Tian Chou cried almost every word he spoke, and he had deep hatred for these robbing Wuhuan people.

When Cao Ang heard this, he could also imagine how miserable the world was when these Wuhuan people robbed the people of Youzhou...

This made Cao Ang's eyes stand up slightly:"Back then in Youzhou The herdsman Liu Yu taught them to open up fields and be self-sufficient, but they refused.

When they were short of food and grass, they only wanted to plunder the border areas of my great man. Such ambitious and unteachable people should take advantage of my great man's strength. The sword and the Han's cavalry are here to teach them how to behave!

The sword in Han'er's hand will be struck by Wuhuan's head!

Let them know the saying when the Han Dynasty was strong. Anyone who offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is. Even in the troubled times of the Central Plains, Still counting!"

At this moment, Cao Ang's eyes were full of murderous intent!

After Cao Ang finished speaking, the scout he sent to inquire about the news also came back. He dismounted and said to Cao Ang,"General Qi, we have found out clearly that there are Wuhuan soldiers near Liucheng at the foot of Bailang Mountain." Dozens of large and small tribes[]

All the tribesmen together numbered no less than hundreds of thousands, among whom there were about 100,000 young adults who stayed behind, all obeying the orders of Lou Ban, the son of Wuhuan's predecessor Shanyu.

In addition, one hundred thousand elites were taken away by Wuhuan's current Chanyu Tadun Chanyu to harass the main force of our army.……"

This scout, who was born in Jinyiwei, explained everything about the situation in Liucheng. It can be said that he had a thorough understanding of the situation.

It's not that he just spoke freely, but he calmly grabbed a few Wuhuan's tongues and tortured them out...

When it comes to gathering information, Jin Yiwei is undoubtedly very good at it.

When Cao Ang learned that there were only 100,000 Wuhuan men near Liucheng at this time, the fighting spirit in his eyes became even more intense!

"Send the order, attack Liucheng tonight, and capture Wuhuan's remaining troops in one fell swoop!

In this battle, I will build a Jingguan under Bailang Mountain!".
