    Ma Chao and Wen Chou led the five thousand cavalry in the front and arrived at Yehu Valley in the Hetao area at the most critical moment of the showdown between the Han army and the Southern Huns. They quickly joined the battlefield and initially stabilized the Han army's collapse.  ; It also provides a time guarantee for the main force of the army to arrive in the next step.  However, at this time, leading the main force of the army, which was still three or four days away from Yehu Valley, I was furious and yelled at an urgent military intelligence report from the West Road.

    The whole thing was caused by Sun Ce, the 'bastard'.  Sun Ce, who finally dispatched troops from Hanzhong after a long and slow process, also stopped every three steps and rested every five steps during the march to the Hetao area.  However, while you, Sun Ce, are lazily working on your job, someone is already planning to attack you first!

    The Dongqiang tribe, which is located in the northwest of Fengyi County and the northeast of Beidi County, originally had a bad relationship with the Han Dynasty, especially Sun Ce, who was adjacent to the Dongqiang tribe and participated in it because of the death of their leader Xu Kui during the "Longxi War".  Revenge!  In addition, they have recently received an invitation from Kebineng, the Xianbei King from deep in the desert, asking the Eastern Qiang people to lend a helping hand to the Southern Xiongnu to resist the Han army's attack.  Therefore, Xu Kui's younger brother Xu Sa, who succeeded the tribe's leader, decided to take the tribe's elite cavalry and rush to the Hetao area to cooperate with the southern Huns to resist the Han army's attack.

    When Xu Sa reorganized the Eastern Qiang cavalry before they had time to set off, they received news that Sun Ce from Hanzhong had also raised troops to rush to Hetao via Beidi for reinforcements.  Whoever you hit is a hit!  Xu Sa immediately decided to attack Sun Ce first, catching Sun Ce's troops by surprise while they were still marching!

    Sun Ce, who was still in the dark, was still marching unwillingly and slowly on the way to Yehu Valley in Hetao. He even fought with the three thousand troops led by Hao Zhao who set off directly from Anding.  The vanguard army has also opened a distance of five to sixty miles.  When Xu Sa, the chief of the Eastern Qiang tribe, who was already well prepared to launch a sneak attack on Sun Ce's troops, received the report of Sun Ce's march status, of course he burst into laughter!  Immediately, an order was sent: Let the Dongqiang cavalry pass Hao Zhao's front army, and then rush to the ambush location to intercept Sun Ce's central army.

    The basic role of the front army is to clear the way for the main force and to conduct sentinels to ensure that the main force can reach the designated position smoothly.  Due to the unusually slow march of Sun Ce's rear army, even though Hao Zhao of the front army deliberately slowed down his marching speed, Sun Ce still only marched three to forty miles on the same day, which was half the normal marching speed.  The distance between the main force of the rear army led by him gradually widened, resulting in a disconnect between the front and rear armies, and also gave Xu Sa, the chief of the Eastern Qiang tribe, sufficient time to prepare.  In this way, the Dong Qiang cavalry can wait quietly away from Hao Zhao's front army sentry range when Hao Zhao's front army passes by; after Hao Zhao's front army passes normally, the Dong Qiang cavalry  The cavalry can use the rapid speed of the cavalry to quickly rush to the predetermined ambush location and make all preparations for a sneak attack on the main force of the rear army led by Sun Ce.  In the final analysis, it was because the main force of the rear army led by Sun Ce moved too slowly that gave the Dong Qiang cavalry the greatest opportunity!

    When Sun Ce, who seemed to be watching flowers and looking at the scenery, led the main force of the rear army to the ambush location of the Dong Qiang cavalry, more than ten thousand Dong Qiang cavalry suddenly protruded and launched a sudden attack on Sun Ce's troops.  Being suddenly attacked by the cavalry, Sun Ce's rear army was caught off guard and thrown into confusion. They were suddenly attacked by the Dongqiang cavalry and were completely defeated!  Sun Ce, who could no longer restrain the defeat of the entire army, had no choice but to angrily and together with Han Dang protect the two scribes Li Ru and Fa Zheng who joined the army and fled in a hurry.  The situation is just like when the Ma family and his son intercepted the Hu cavalry when they were united in the army, and were attacked behind the scenes by the ruthless Han Sui!

    Fortunately, Sun Ce's bravery and Han Dang's sophistication came into play!  Sun Ce and Han Dang desperately protected Li Ru and Fazheng and broke out of the encirclement of the Dongqiang cavalry.  Afterwards, Sun Ce and the Dong Qiang cavalry retreated and fought, and they continued to retreat backwards.  Xu Sa, the current leader of Dong Qiang, who was deeply resentful of Sun Ce because of the death of his former leader in the "Battle of Longxi", followed Sun Ce's fleeing army relentlessly, not letting Sun Ce breathe.  The breathing machine takes turns to attack continuously.  Maybe it was the sudden victory that made Xu Sa's confidence and ambition inflated. He wanted to take the opportunity to invade the hinterland of Longxi, plunder, burn and kill enough?  That¡¯s why I gave Sun Ce a ¡®beat the drowned dog¡¯!

    Sun Ce, who was almost beaten by the Dong Qiang cavalry and felt that he hated his parents for giving him fewer legs, was driven out by the Dong Qiang cavalry and felt that he had no way to go to heaven and no door to the earth. It happened that the rear wing came up.  The reinforcements sent by Zhou Yu in Guanzhong to reinforce the Hetao area!  With Jin as the commander-in-chief, Xu Chu as the deputy-general, and Ling Tong as the vanguard of the Guanzhong reinforcements, at the critical moment when Sun Ce was chased by the Dongqiang cavalry, the three thousand vanguard cavalry led by Ling Tong quickly responded.  Rescued Sun Ce and others who were fleeing.  After Yu Jin and Xu Chu led the follow-up main force from Guanzhong arrived, Pang De led five thousand cavalry from Liangzhou on the flank.It¡¯s over.  As a result, the three reinforcements from Hanzhong, Guanzhong, and Xiliang were united in Anding County.

    And then the Dong Qiang Iron Cavalry, which followed Sun Ce, knew that they had no chance to kill Sun Ce after Ling led his army to meet Sun Ce and intercepted the pursuing Dong Qiang Iron Cavalry.  Therefore, he easily broke away from the contact and took advantage of the strong mobility of the iron cavalry to fly away.  Hao Zhao, who served in the front line of the Hanzhong Army, had a mix of infantry and cavalry, so his mobility was much slower than that of the Dongqiang cavalry.  Although Hao Zhao received the report that the main force of the rear army was attacked, he immediately returned the army and wanted to harass the Dongqiang cavalry in succession to help Sun Ce's troops escape as soon as possible; in fact, he could not keep up with the attack of the Dongqiang cavalry at all.  With such speed, the Dong Qiang Iron Cavalry failed to catch its tail and almost caused the retreating Dong Qiang Iron Cavalry to launch a counterattack!  Fortunately, Hao Zhao has always managed the army steadily. When he sensed that something was wrong, he immediately huddled his troops into a ball and put on a posture of stubborn resistance on the spot.

    The Dongqiang Iron Cavalry, who were eager to retreat and rushed to the Hetao area, saw that it was difficult to break through Hao Zhao's troops easily, so they immediately turned northward, so that Hao Zhao's troops could be preserved.  But the main force of the rear army led by Sun Ce suffered a "catastrophe"!  Most of the more than 20,000 soldiers were killed or wounded. Together with Hao Zhao's troops, there were only less than 10,000 remaining soldiers.  According to Sun Ce's plan of "letting go": he was about to lead the remaining soldiers of Hanzhong back to Hanzhong and said, "I really don't have the face to meet the King of Hanzhong."

    However, Yu Jin and others, who had already received face-to-face instructions from Zhou Yu, repeatedly insisted that "Sun Ce must lead his army to the Hetao area."  The rough and arrogant Xu Chu also threatened: We have been strictly ordered by the Governor (Zhou Yu). If the Marquis of Gucheng (Sun Ce) retreats from the battle again, we will take Sun Ce to Hetao to meet the King of Guanzhong.  Although the two parties had a "half-red face" due to language differences!  However, Sun Ce and his deployment still had to follow the army towards the Hetao area.

    Investigating the reason, there is actually another factor: as long as someone comes to stop him, Fazheng and Hao Zhao, who are already inclined to continue going north, will definitely persuade Sun Ce to continue going north.  Originally, because Fazheng, Yan Wen, and Hao Zhao were more inclined to respect the instructions of the imperial court, conflicts and disagreements had already occurred within Sun Ce before.  If Sun Ce insists on acting forcefully, it is very likely that Fazheng, Yan Wen, Hao Zhao, etc., who are natives of Hanzhong and Longxi, will split away. This is what Sun Ce least wants to see!  Therefore, even if Sun Ce didn't want to, he had to "hold his nose" and endure the "annoyance" to come to the Hetao area.

    coming?  It will be even harder for you to go back!  I thought to myself, holding the military intelligence report sent by Yu Jin and others.  Then, I was a little angry and couldn't help but curse: "Sun Ce, Sun Ce! You are really a 'grinding donkey'! If you can't lead me away, you will go backwards!"
