As a time traveler, Zhao Dan knew very well that these nomadic peoples in the north had threatened and destructive to the Central Plains.

The Huns, Xianbei, Rouran, Turks, Mongolia... and so on have caused countless troubles to the regimes in the Central Plains over thousands of years of history.

If possible, Zhao Dan certainly hopes to kill the Huns, who have not yet become powerful, in their infancy.

In fact, Zhao Dan knew very well that it would take at least fifty years to become stronger in the Huns, so after traveling through time, Zhao Dan did not focus on the Huns, but planned to unify the Central Plains before heading north.

However, what Zhao Dan never expected was that if he did not attack the Huns, the Huns would come to the door instead.

This is simply because grandpa can tolerate it, and grandma can’t.

If this time cannot be taught an unforgettable lesson to the Huns, then it is certain that in the next few years, the border of Zhao will definitely be in peace.

Zhao Dan had made up his mind to hurt the Huns this time, and he didn't dare to go south for ten or eight years, and he would save the worries of the north at one time!

So as soon as Lian Po finished speaking, Zhao Dan couldn't wait to speak.

"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"

You should know that Zhao Dan immediately issued an order after knowing the situation. It should be a long time since he calculated the order to return to the five northern counties. The military and civilians in the five northern counties should have taken action long ago.

Although the area of ​​the five northern counties accounts for about 40% of the territory of Zhao, the population here is quite sparse, only one-tenth of the population of Zhao, which is only 300,000 to 400,000.

Of course, there is so many people, but it does not mean that there are so many people who can fight.

Among the 300,000 to 400,000 people in the five northern counties, a 100,000 troops can usually be recruited, which can be said to be a very high proportion. After all, the lifespan of nomadic people is very short, so the proportion of the elderly is much smaller, and the proportion of young and middle-aged people is relatively higher.

Considering the need to defend the city and the distance, there should be at least about 50,000 troops now that they should be able to enter the battlefield.

Lian Po replied: "According to the speed of the march, reinforcements from each county should have been assembled. Recently, Benton went to war with the Huns."

Zhao Dan then breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Can you win?"

Lian Po looked at Zhao Dan in surprise, as if surprised at why Zhao Dan asked such a question.

After several seconds, Lian Po spoke in a loud voice: "Please rest assured, you will definitely win this battle with the Huns!"

In fact, it is not just Lian Po, but even the entire Zhao leadership is full of confidence in this victory.

This confidence is not blind, but comes from the achievements of Zhao State against the grassland aliens over the years.

Lin Hu, Lou Fan, and Donghu were both masters on the grassland, but now they either surrender to Zhao State or escape thousands of miles away and dare not become enemies with Zhao State again.

The Huns? Its ends the same!

...

At this moment, Pang Yan, the general of the Zhao North Army, who was thousands of miles away from Handan City, also had such confidence.

Where is Pang Yuan?

At this moment, Pang Yan was on the northeast plain of Xiawu Mountain, leading his troops to advance rapidly towards the southwest.

Due to the terrain, Pang Nuan did not lead this army directly to the north, but first went north to Zhongren City near the border between Yan and Zhao, and then advanced northwest through Puyin Xing, among the eight passes of Taihang. After passing the mountain pass of Weicheng, he turned southwest and headed towards Pingyin City.

It is precisely because of such a long way that Pang Nuan has not arrived in Pingyin City after delaying so many days.

There were 50,000 troops around Pang Nuan, including 10,000 Central Army cavalry, 10,000 Loufan, Linhu cavalry, and 30,000 Zhao infantry.

The army headed south, with sounds of hooves, smoke and dust rolling, and heads shaking, forming a long dragon that lasted more than ten miles.

Although the Zhao army commander Pang Nuan is over 60 years old, she is still healthy and stands firmly on a chariot, staring at the plains in the southwest.

A sound of horse hooves sounded, and a general of Zhao rode his horse and saluted Pang Nuan: "General!"

Pang Nuan nodded slightly, and her white beard fluttered in the wind: "What's the situation?"

"Pingyin City is thirty miles away, and the Huns are still besieging!"

"How many soldiers and horses did the Huns have?"

"According to reports, about 35,000 people, all of them are knights!"

"Thirty-five thousand knights?" Pang Nuan's brows frowned slightly, but immediately stretched out again and asked, "But the headquarters of the Xiongnu Shanyu?"

"In addition to the Shanyu headquarters, there are also tribes such as the Xubu family and the Huyan family."

Pang Nuan snorted and said, "It seems that the information is true. The Huns really went south with all their might."

As the saying goes, infiltration is mutual. Since the Huns can understand the inside story of Zhao through Lin Hu and Lou Fan, then Zhao can naturally understand the situation of the Huns through the same channels.

At this moment, the Huns had a stronger Donghu in the east, a mortal enemy Yuezhi in the west, and a younger brother from Zhao State Lin Hu in the south. Life was not good, and it was not powerful.

It was famous in later generations and once became a major threat to the Han Dynasty for a hundred years. Now it is just a larger tribal alliance on the northern grasslands.

The leader of this tribal alliance is the Turu tribe. Under the Turu tribe, there are two major tribes, the Subu tribe and the Huyan tribe, and then the Lan tribe that has risen rapidly in recent years, as well as other small tribes that cannot be named.

This is the so-called Hun headquarters.

Although he had never fought with the Huns before, as a commander of the army, the few days he led his army north was enough to investigate enough information.

In addition to the Lan tribe that surrounded Yuanyang City, several other large tribes of the Xiongnu headquarters have all gathered outside Pingyin City.

It is precisely because of this that Pang Nuan is now full of confidence.

After thinking for a while, Pang Nuan asked to the general in front of him: "Has the Huns discovered it?"

The general replied: "It has not been discovered by the Huns yet."

Pang Nuan asked again: "Are the Huns still siege the city?"

"yes."

"Good." Pang Nuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "You send an order immediately to order the entire army to accelerate its advance. Be sure to rush outside Pingyin City before noon to defeat the Huns!"
