    After Liu Cong and Fazheng led an army of 10,000 to leave Luoyang, they walked for twenty days before reaching Beidi County.

    Wang Ping led all the soldiers to greet him five miles outside the city. When the army arrived in the city in great force, the people cheered.

    They have rarely experienced the Huns' 100,000 cavalry. The people in Guanzhong and Luoyang also felt panic after hearing the news, not to mention some big families in Beidi County had already begun to prepare to evacuate.

    The soldiers of the Xiongnu were like animals. After they broke through the city, they did not know any reason. They killed men when they saw them and robbed women when they saw them. They were extremely cruel.

    Although the Han army was stationed in Beidi County and some soldiers and horses were recruited years ago, there are now a total of 50,000, but they are no match for the Huns' 100,000 cavalry!

    Fortunately, the commander-in-chief Wang Ping promptly released the news that King Liu Cong of Han was coming with his army, and the people gradually calmed down.  Today we finally saw the King of Han and his army, and everyone was finally relieved.

    The king of Han has long been famous and has never lost a battle. He also pays attention to farming and develops commerce, so that the people can now have enough to eat and gradually become rich.

    After entering the city, Wang Ping held a banquet in honor of Liu Cong, and all the soldiers and officials from Beidi County toasted to Liu Cong one by one.

    The governor of Beidi is Huangfu Hong, whose courtesy name is Jianshou. He is the son of Huangfu Song, the former hussar general of the Han Dynasty. He once governed Beidi County very well under Dong Zhuo.  After Dong Zhuo was destroyed, Beidi County became a "three-no-no" area, but Huangfu Hong still handled internal affairs here and educated the people.  After Liu Cong captured Liangzhou, Huangfuhong stayed in office.

    The government affairs of Beidi County were naturally continued to be managed by Huangfuhong. Liu Cong re-confessed him as a clan member of the Han Dynasty and as the prince of the Han Dynasty, and affirmed and appreciated the achievements of his father Huangfusong, which made Huangfuhong very grateful.  .

    The next day, Liu Cong summoned Wang Ping, Fazheng, Zhang Xiu and other generals to the study of the prefect's mansion to discuss countermeasures.

    "Zijun, where are Liu Bao's troops gathered now?" Liu Cong asked Wang Ping.

    "Reporting to my lord, one hundred thousand Xiongnu cavalry have gathered outside Tongwan City."

    "Tong Wancheng?" Liu Cong frowned, "They have already passed Yinshan Mountain!"

    "The Xiongnu army was here when they were gathering. Tongwan City used to be the royal court of the Xiongnu. During the Emperor Wu period, Husband General Huo Qubing drove the Xiongnu all the way to Mobei, and Tongwan City gradually fell into ruin. But in the past few years, Zuoxian King Liu Bao  We also began to rebuild Tongwan City, which is now the royal court of the Xiongnu."

    "Now that we have passed Yinshan Mountain, this Liu Bao seems to be waiting for me!" A smile appeared on Liu Cong's face.

    "My lord, the general doesn't quite understand. I thought he had started attacking a long time ago, but I didn't expect that he still hasn't moved his troops until now." Wang Ping said.

    "My lord, this Liu Bao is too arrogant. He doesn't take our Han army seriously at all. He is just waiting for news from the Xianbei Qiang people. In his opinion, as long as he gives the order, the cavalry will kill them.  Chang'an is unstoppable. And he has to wait for the Xiqiang and Xianbei to attack Sanguan and capture the entire Guanzhong Road!" Fazheng said with a smile.

    "His dream was so beautiful!"

    "Ha" Everyone laughed.

    "However, these 100,000 cavalry cannot be ignored. We must go all out and not be careless!" Liu Cong immediately reminded.

    "My lord is wise!"

    "Zijun, how did you set up your defenses?"

    Wang Ping took out a map and spread it on the desk.

    "Lord, there are more than a dozen county towns in Beidi County. We don't have many soldiers and horses, so we can't defend them one by one. Of course, the Huns' cavalry will not attack them one by one. Their purpose is to go south to Chang'an. The seat of Beidi County is  The place where we are now is called Maling County. To the southwest of Maling County, there is Yiqu County, and to the southeast of Maling County, there is Fuping County. These three counties are horns of each other and can support each other. The final general  Send Hao Zhao and Su Ze to lead 10,000 troops to guard Yiqu, and Jiang Xu and Yang Fu to lead 10,000 troops to guard Fuping."

    After listening to Wang Ping¡¯s introduction, Liu Cong showed a smile on his face, and Fazheng nodded approvingly.

    "Zijun is indeed a good general, and he has a good plan for defending the city. In this way, even if Liu Bao has a hundred thousand cavalry, he can't do anything to us for a while." Fa Zheng said.

    "If the general just sticks to the city, he can still fight Liu Bao, but if he wants to really stop them, or annihilate them, he will be unable to do so. Now that the lord has led his army, the general can feel relieved."

    What Wang Ping was worried about before was not that Liu Bao would lead his army to attack the city. His defense was not afraid of the enemy attacking the city.  However, Liu Baoruo only left some soldiers and horses to contain them, and the rest of the armyGoing south, Wang Ping felt there was nothing he could do.  After all, the opponents are all cavalry. They can't be stopped by infantry, and they can't catch up if they try to catch up.

    "Can filial piety have any strategy to defeat the enemy?" Liu Cong believed that Fazheng had been thinking about this question for more than twenty days.

    "My Lord, my subordinates thought that after Liu Bao's army arrived in Beidi County, he would not rush southward. He wanted to annihilate us so that he would have no worries. At the same time, when the Lord arrived here in person, he wanted to fight us even more. Lord  His reputation is far-reaching, so Liu Bao will naturally use his lord's reputation to show his prestige. In this way, we will have a chance." Fa Zheng talked eloquently, "But if we want to defend the city, the cavalry will not be able to play its role. Zhang Xiu  The general is called the Spear King of the North, and he is very familiar with this place. His five thousand cavalry can produce unexpected effects outside the city!"

    "My lord, the generals are very familiar with these dozen counties in the North. They also know where cavalry operations are suitable and where ambushes are suitable." Zhang Xiu was very excited after hearing what Fazheng said.  The general is willing to lead the cavalry to station in Liucheng, and then look for fighters."

    "Okay, you bring enough food and grass, soldiers and equipment, one person and two horses, and temporarily station in Liucheng. After all, your soldiers and horses are too few. Don't fight a large-scale battle, but you must make Liu Bao unstable! If there are other orders  , will let Tianwang Camp conduct flying pigeons to pass messages!"

    "No!"

    "Report to the lord, Prefect Huang Fu wants to see you!" At this time Shi A came in and said.

    "Let Huangfuhong come in!"

    "No!" Soon, Huang Puhong entered the study with a piece of information in his hand.

    "See my lord!"

    "Good luck, no need to pay homage!"

    "Thank you, my lord, I just received a letter from General Li Yan and Zhuge Military Advisor Fei Ge. Please read it." Huangfu Hong handed the information to Liu Cong.

    "Letter from Li Yan and Zhuge Liang!" Liu Cong felt a little surprised. All matters in Jincheng have been handed over to the two of them. What else needs to be decided by him personally?

    Liu Cong took the letter, opened it, and read it carefully, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

    "Okay, okay! Ha" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
