The next day, the sky was slightly bright.
The Xianbei troops stationed in Dingxiang City seemed to have gone crazy.
Under Bu Dugen's orders, they frantically searched the surroundings for traces of the person who attacked them last night.
Unfortunately, Zhuge Mu had already predicted his actions.
Zhuge Mu was currently leading his troops to hide in a small herdsman tribe several miles north of Dingxiang.
As for the Xianbei herdsmen in the tribe, they had already arrived at this place with Zhuge Mu's army…
With his order, the Han army under his command slaughtered hundreds of Xianbei herdsmen.
Slaughtering innocent herdsmen, Zhuge Mu might have felt a little uncomfortable in the beginning, but he quickly got used to it.
Because he understood that this was war.
There was no such thing as soft-heartedness in war.
What he was doing now was merely a counterattack against the Xianbei tribe.
Similarly, Zhuge Mu didn't think that the Xianbei soldiers would kindly put down their scimitars and let the Han women go.
The bandits pointed their blades at me!
I'll definitely draw my sword and return it!
This was the belief that Zhuge Mu held in his heart during the war between the races at the border.
In the distance, Huang Xu was leading a team of scouts towards Zhuge Mu.
"Brother Mu, the scouts sent by the Xianbei army really didn't come looking for us!”
"They only used Dingxiang City as the center and retreated after exploring less than twenty miles north.”
"Hehe!"
Huang Xu said excitedly,"Bu Dugen would never have thought that we didn't retreat to Long City!”
"Brother Mu, when are we going to attack the Xianbei army again?”
Huang Xu rubbed his fists, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"No rush!"
Zhuge Mu said.
"After the two big battles yesterday, the fighters haven't had a good rest yet. Pass down my order…"
Zhuge Mu said to the soldiers beside him,""Slaughter all the cattle and sheep we seized from the herdsmen and reward the soldiers. We'll take action after our brothers have eaten and drunk their fill.”
Hence, in the following days…
The 200,000 Xianbei soldiers led by Bu Dugen fell into an unimaginable panic.
Because, just when they thought Zhuge Mu would not lead the army to attack, the unknown enemy would descend again like a ghost.
However, when they tried to look for traces of Zhuge Mu's troops, they could not find the enemy's figure no matter what.
During this period of time, the enraged Xianbei leader Bu Dugen had thought of using Zhang He's troops stationed in Ping Cheng as bait to lure Zhuge Wuzhi's enemies out.
Reality proved that this method was successful.
However, what followed was the helplessness of the Xianbei army when facing the Western Liang cavalry and Bingzhou wolf cavalry.
Facing the Western Liang cavalry and Bingzhou wolf cavalry, the Xianbei army couldn't hold them back.
Some Xianbei cavalrymen were even killed by Zhuge Mu when they were chasing after the Western Liang cavalry and Bingzhou wolf cavalry.
The Xianbei army was in a dilemma.
……
Jizhou, Wei County.
Cao Cao, who had led 100,000 troops north from Xu City, met Zhang Liao, who had just returned from quelling the rebellion, in the Wei County government office.
Looking at Zhang Liao, Cao Cao did not ask him about the situation.
Because Cao Cao knew that with Zhang Liao's ability, he could easily deal with the Zheng Family's rebellion in Jizhou.
Compared to the insignificant rebellion of the Yuan family in Jizhou, Cao Cao was more concerned about the progress of the war in the northern border.
Without waiting for Zhang Liao to bow to him, Cao Cao raised his hand to stop Zhang Liao.
"Wen Yuan, quickly tell me how the situation at the border is.”
Noticing the anxiety in Cao Cao's eyes, Zhang Liao, who had been ordered to rush here, had a bitter expression on his face.
"Reporting to my lord, Liao doesn't know the exact situation of the war in the north.”
"Ever since General Tian Mo parted with General Zhuge Mu at the Yellow River crossing, he has been busy suppressing the rebellion in Jizhou.”
Zhang Liao's words caused Cao Cao's face to darken.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liao quickly said,"Please rest assured, my lord. When we parted ways, I transferred seven thousand of my Bing Province wolf cavalry to General Zhuge.”
"Including Zhuge Mu and Zhang Xiu's troops…"
"Even if the 15,000 soldiers can't solve the siege of Ping Cheng, they should be able to deal with the Xianbei army.”
On the side, Guo Jia, who was the military advisor, smiled and chimed in,"My lord, no news is the best news.”
"If the war in the north was really unfavorable, Fengxiao felt that with the Xianbei people's temperament, they would have already killed their way into the pass, causing the lives of the people in Jizhou to be plunged into misery.”
"Today, other than the rebellion of some small clans related to the Yuan family, there are no other wars in Jizhou.”
As he spoke, Guo Jia could not help but think of Zhuge Mu's confident face.
"Perhaps, when we arrive at the border, General Zhuge will give us a big surprise.”
Guo Jia's words instantly dispelled the inexplicable anxiety in Cao Cao's heart.
Looking at Guo Jia, who had high hopes for Zhuge Mu, Cao Cao said unhappily,"You, you, if I didn't know that you, Guo Fengxiao, don't speak wildly on important matters, I would have thought that you were a crafty sycophant.”
Three days later.
When Cao Cao led his 100,000-strong army to Ping City, he looked up at the dragon flag of the Great Han Dynasty fluttering on the blood-red ground and was speechless for a long time.
What kind of battle had happened to dye the ground under their feet red?
Even though he had not seen it with his own eyes, it was not difficult for Cao Cao to imagine how intense the battle was.
At this moment, at the city gate of Ping City…
No, or more accurately, Zhang He led the remaining 3,000 Han soldiers out from the gap in the collapsed city wall of Ping City.
"Zhang He greets the lord!"
