As the world settled, the northern Huns and other tribes encountered a severe drought that had not been encountered for hundreds of years, and a large number of cattle and sheep died.

In March of the New Year, the Xiongnu kings joined forces with the Xianbei, Jie, Qiang and Di tribes to send troops to attack the northern counties.The six counties of Xiliang, Anding, Hongnong, Jinyang, Yecheng and Daixian were attacked at the same time.

Jin Xuan responded quickly, declared unanimously to the outside world, and did all his strength to attack the Five Barbarians.Jin Xuan mobilized elite troops from the eight legions of the three armies to fight against foreign attacks on the whole line.

When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao saw that Jin Xuan gathered heavy troops to the north, they also dispatched their troops to the northern battlefield.

At this critical moment of foreign invasion, Jin Xuan, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao performed vigorously.

Because there were too many border counties in Yuan Shao, Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Wei to lead an army of 120,000 to garrison Yecheng in Yuan Shao's border counties.

In April, under the command of the Xianbei King, 200,000 Xianbei soldiers captured Yecheng. Five generals including Cao Cao's generals, Xiahou Wei, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Shang, Li Peng, Wu Gang, etc., were killed. Less than 40,000 led 120,000 troops to flee back to Luoyang.

Xianbei soldiers burned, killed and robbed Yecheng, and Yecheng was almost massacred into an empty city.

In addition to capturing a large number of food and treasures, tens of thousands of girls were plundered and raped. At the same time, these Han girls were used as military rations and slaughtered and cooked.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he cried to the sky, pointing to the sky for a while, and the Xianbei clan would be destroyed in his lifetime.

Jin Xuan sent envoys to Chang'an to prepare to take over the defenses of Anding and Hongnong cities, so that Cao Cao would concentrate his army to recover Yecheng and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

Jin Xuan knew that Cao Cao was suspicious, and wrote a bloody letter before he left: Xuan's lifelong power made our great Han Dynasty famous all over the world. Anyone who killed our great Han people would fight with the Duke.If you have selfish intentions, heaven will be punished by the earth.

He also wrote a loan note to prove that he would return the two counties to defeat the Five Hu.

On April 10, 250,000 troops of Guan Yu and Jiang Wei entered Anding.

On April 13, 250,000 troops of Lu Bu and Pang Tong entered Hongnong.

On April 15, Cao Cao gathered a large army of 500,000 to fight in Luoyang, preparing to recover Yecheng.

Before leaving, Cao Cao received a letter from Jin Xuan. The book said that when dealing with Xianbei cavalry, he should be more prepared to resist land horses and infantry should be equipped with long weapons.

Cao Cao obeyed the rules and ordered the Luoyang prefect to prepare as soon as possible and sent it to Huguan.

Huguan is fifty miles north of Yecheng, and Cao Cao's 500,000 troops gathered here.

All the elites of this trip were released, with his sons Cao Zhang and Cao Pi, advisers Sima Yi, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Xu Zijiang and Xun You, and generals Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Chun, Cao Ren, Zhang Ji, Zang Ba, Le Jin, Li Dian, Wang Shuang, Yu Jin, Xu Huang, Hao Zhao, Xu Chu, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Wang Jun, Wen Yang, Wen Qin, Zhang Lu and others accompanying him.

On April 27, Cao Cao's army attacked Yecheng.

At that time, the Xianbei King was in charge of Yecheng and went out of the city to fight with Cao Cao, so he closed the city and defended it, so he went to the King of Huns to ask for help.

At that time, Yuan Shao's heavy troops were gathered in Jinyang and Dai County, and they were stalemate with the Xiongnu Zuoxian King's troops and the Right Xianwang's troops.

The areas defended by Jinxuan are Xiliang, Anding and Hongnong.

Xiliang was led by Jin Xuan, Ma Teng's troops, Huang Zhong's troops, and 38 soldiers in total, a total of 38 soldiers and horses to compete with the Xiongnu Khan. The troops of Guan Yu and Jiang Wei had 250,000 soldiers and horses to compete with the Qiang army; the troops of Lu Bu and Pang Tong had 250,000 soldiers and horses to compete with the coalition forces of the Jie and Di tribes.

Zhang Liao and Lu Meng's troops were stationed in Tianshui with 100,000 troops, and Zhang Fei and Lu Xun's troops were stationed in Xiamen. These two armies were the support troops.

The Xiongnu Shanyu took the Xianbei King for help, intending to divide his troops to rescue him, but he was entangled by Jin Xuan's troops.He ordered two parts of the army to be ordered to help.

At that time, Zhuge Liang was in charge of the overall situation in Changsha, and Zhou Yu was stationed in Xiliang with Jin Xuan.

Jin Xuan and Zhou Yu discussed the strategy of defeating the enemy.

Jin Xuandao: Although Cao Cao was treacherous, this person was clear about right and wrong in the face of justice and was a true hero.Now his heavy troops are attacking Xianbei, and he will definitely win.However, just like the Huns sent reinforcements to the aid, the outcome is unknown.If we make a great plan for the nation, our army should fight the decisive battle with the Xiongnu Shanyu army as soon as possible.If the Xiongnu Khan was defeated, the remaining troops would retreat. In this way, Cao Cao used his superior forces to attack the Xianbei, and there were many planners to plan, so he would win.

Zhou Yu said: The Huns are all cavalry. If they conflict head-on, our army will have the upper hand. However, if the Huns are unfavorable in a battle, they will escap back, and our army will not be able to catch up. This is the advantage of the Huns cavalry.I wanted to send someone to the Shanyu place a letter of war, and secretly dispatched the two armies of Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei to ambush thirty miles from the left and right rear of the Xiongnu army. When the two armies fought decisively, the two armies suddenly stepped up from the back, and the three armies worked together, and the Huns would be defeated.As the saying goes, to capture the king first, use the cavalry of Ma Chao and Zhao Yun to attack the Shanyu troops specifically, and use the elite of the two generals to succeed in one attack.

The gold flows in a flash.He ordered his personal troops to go to Tianshui and Xiabian to secretly capture the two legions of Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei.He sent an envoy to issue a letter of war and made a decisive battle with the Huns.

The Hun soldiers were good at fighting on the plains, but not good at attacking tough cities.The Xiongnu Chanyu repeatedly sent heavy troops to attack the city and was overjoyed. He received the letter and saw that Jin Xuan made a decisive battle, so he did not doubt that there was it, and he criticized the word "to fight".

When the decisive battle arrived, both armies set up their formation.The Huns' army suffered repeated attacks and suffered serious damage. Seeing that the Jin Xuan army did not regard the strong city as a hindrance, they were all ready to go and were full of energy.

Both sides came out in this battle, which means winning or losing in one battle.

The Huns' troops were more than 20,000 Jinxuan soldiers, and most of them were cavalry.

The total number of cavalry in Jinxuan soldiers accounts for about half, which is slightly higher than that of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

The two armies faced each other, Jin Xuan set up a command platform in the central army, and Zhou Yu commanded with flag words on the command platform, and each army acted according to the flag.

The Huns had a sense of underestimating the enemy towards the Han people, which has always been the case since ancient times.With the wave of the Shanyu flag, the Hun cavalry of the army divided into three groups to run to the Jinxuan Central Army and the left and right wings.

The military formation set up by Jin Xuan is a Bian Chongfeng formation.

The combat plan is: to deal with the impact of enemy cavalry, with cavalry behind and infantry ahead, and many land horses resisting land horses to remove the impact of the Xiongnu horses.

The big swordsman, the plain swordsman, and the strong crossbow soldiers cooperated with each other and retreated when they fought.

When the facilities such as the quarrels and horses were destroyed by the enemy, the infantry was approaching the cavalry at this time and retreated from the cavalry gap along the training route to the cavalry.

The entire formation will form a flat hook-shaped formation, using cavalry to attack the Hun cavalry.

When the ambush arrives, the hook-shaped formation becomes a semicircular formation, forming a siege against the enemy.

The Hun soldiers came up and rushed closer. The powerful crossbows of the Jin Xuan army began to show their power. A row of Hun soldiers in front fell down quickly. When the Hun soldiers rushed to fifty meters in front of them, these powerful crossbows turned back and the big sword soldiers came up. After resisting the horse's horse to remove its horse's power, they slashed them down, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The Hun soldiers used their rows of lives to break the Hun horses one by one. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer Hun horses, they could immediately use horsepower to attack these soldiers, and the Hun soldiers became a little excited.

It turned out that the Jin spiral cavalry standing on the side of the horse was on the horse at the same time, and the infantry retreated quickly and orderly, and set up again behind the cavalry.

The cavalry of the Jin Xuan soldiers waited for their work and had already accumulated enough energy. When the flag of the attack was ordered, the cavalry of the Jin Xuan soldiers rushed forward.

After one round, the Hun soldiers suffered a great loss, and they had never seen such an elite cavalry.

Weapons and armor determine that Jin Xuan's cavalry maintains a certain advantage even against the elite Hun cavalry.
