After hearing this, Wusun Kunmi laughed wildly and said, "This is really the gods who are helping us Wusun. I pass on my king's military order and gather all the troops from now on. I will personally lead my Wusun cavalry to cross the Tianshan Mountains, wipe out the Liang army, and capture the Liang king alive!"

Everyone under the tent responded and ate meat and drank wine happily. Li Feng bowed and said, "There are three Tianshan Passes leading to Liuzhongcheng. The subordinates believed that the Liang army would monitor these three passes. When we enter the south of the Tianshan Pass from any of them, we will definitely be discovered by the Liang army. Those three passes are a key place where one man is the pass and ten thousand men cannot open. Even if they cannot set up an ambush, they can block our way outside the pass. The subordinates have a plan..."

Speaking of this, Li Feng stopped talking. Kun Mi said anxiously: "You Han people are mother-in-law and mother. What strategy do you have to do?"

Li Feng continued: "Kunmi, if we can walk 500 miles away and cross the Tianshan Mountains in the eastern section of Tianshan Mountains, we can cut off the connection between Liang army from Yumen to Liuzhongcheng in one fell swoop. But this road is too far..."

Before Li Feng finished speaking, another leader of the Wusun tribe hurriedly said, "No, this Fire Valley is too dangerous!" Wusun Kunmi's face changed and she fell silent.

The tribal leader said that the Fire Valley is a very low valley at the eastern end of the Tianshan Mountains. The terrain is narrow and long and dangerous. It is forty or fifty miles long, and it takes at least one day and one night for the entire army to pass.

The climate there is dry and hot, with almost no rainfall throughout the year. All the water sources come from streams formed by the melting of snow water in Tianshan Mountains. But now it is winter. Although the problem of hotness does not exist, the streams flowing through the valley should also be cut off, so it is difficult for the army to obtain water.

In addition, it takes 500 miles to go around the heart of Wusun to the Fire Valley. So from that perspective, Li Feng's plan is a bad idea, which is why Li Feng said this plan hesitantly.

Wusun Kunmi thought for a long time, and there was silence in the big tent. Finally, Kunmi said, "Just act according to this plan! Judging from the previous battles, Feng Yu is cunning and deceitful. If we act according to common sense, we will fall into the trap, so we should also win by surprise and not act according to common sense. Although the journey around the Fire Valley is long, as long as we pass the Fire Valley, we can cut off the Liang army's food route and reach the vicinity of Liuzhongcheng. Even if the Liang army has blocked the Tianshan Pass, we can still attack the left-behind brigades from north to south and open up the food route nearby."

At this time, Li Feng said again: "Just just now, my subordinates said that the Northern Army was withdrawn because of a rebellion in Mobei, which was just a speculation. My subordinates believed that it would be safer to set out after the news from Mobei was confirmed."

This time, Kun Mi, who was eager to win, did not follow Li Feng's advice, and said firmly: "No! If Feng Yu wants to go back to the Han area and enjoy his fortune, he leaves the army to run away halfway. Wouldn't we waste such a great opportunity in vain? Soldiers are very fast, so we immediately mobilize the army and set off immediately. In addition, let a small brigade march from the nearby pass towards Liuzhongcheng to be suspicious soldiers."

Three days later, the army gathered from various Wusun troops set out in a mighty manner, with a total of nearly 30,000 combat cavalry and countless large carts. However, these supplies were only enough to supply the number they arrived in Liuzhongcheng.

Generally speaking, nomadic peoples do not need to bring supplies, food and grass to fight on the grasslands, and drive cattle and sheep to follow the army, and then use the looted food as a supplement to solve the problem of food and grass.

But after passing the Tianshan Mountains, most areas were dead deserts. A narrow oasis passage along the Tianshan Mountains could not provide so much forage needed for livestock, and few farming people could rob. Therefore, the Wusun people had to consider the issue of logistics supply.

...

Outside Liuzhongcheng, Feng Yu was flipping through books in the camp's central army tent. The other generals in the tent seemed anxious and uneasy. The Wusun people did not come to rescue Liuzhongcheng as expected, but the food and grass in the camp gradually decreased.

Although the rear was continuously providing food and grass forward, the grain route was too long, and there was always a certain gap between the amount of food and grass transported and the consumption of the army. If this continues, the food and grass are only enough for the entire army to have two months of needs. If it is not done well, Zhang Liao, who has conquered Loulan City, still needs to provide the food and grass stored in Loulan City.

At this time, a personal guard commander broke into the tent and reported: "Reported to the king, the front-line scout found that a small group of Wusun soldiers were crossing the western pass of the Tianshan Mountains."

The generals in the tent were filled with joy and said that the Wusun people were finally fooled. In order to lure the Wusun people to come and clear the siege of Liuzhong, the Liang army took great pains to let the captured Wusun people escape with the news, and Li Su led the Northern Palace army to voluntarily retreat eastward.

But Feng Yu was not very excited. He put down the book and said in a puzzled tone: "Small troops? How many troops are there?"

"Your Majesty, there are only a thousand to two thousand."

Ma Chao, who was standing beside him, said, "Your Majesty, this must be the Wusun people who guessed that we would stare at these passes, so the small troops sent out were ahead to see if there were any big army ambushing me. So we cannot move these Wusun soldiers, otherwise we will start a war. We should let them cross the Tianshan Mountains and mobilize the main force to set up an ambush on this road, because the main force of Wusun must follow them."

Feng Yu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "If King Wusun could think that we would monitor the Tianshan Pass, then if we let these more than a thousand people cross the Tianshan Mountains smoothly, he would inevitably be suspicious. For the same reason, he would not let the main force follow the more than a thousand people. Then his real motivation to send these more than a thousand people is..."

Feng Yu said this, his words froze. Then he said as if he suddenly realized: "Transfer our military orders to order the heavy cavalry stationed at the exit of the West Pass to launch an attack as soon as these more than a thousand Wusun soldiers emerge. Be sure to wipe out all of them and try to capture more alive people. In addition, notify the scouts in the rear to alert the various key passes and canyons leading from the eastern section of Tianshan to the northern section of Shanbei. Similarly, send fast horse commanders to Li Su, and ask him to send more scouts to monitor the enemy situation in the eastern section of Tianshan!"

...

More than a thousand Wusuns rode in a row and finally climbed over this Tianshan Pass, known as the Xipass, and followed the slope to enter the oasis area on the south side of the Tianshan Mountains.

But they had just come out of the mountain pass and before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they found a heavy cavalry of Liang army erecting cavalry, forming a single formation, pressing towards them like a sea of ​​storms.

The Wusun cavalry did not think much about it and launched a counterattack. They first set their bows on the saddle, but these arrows did not work for these heavy cavalry. Although some of the Liang army heavy cavalry hit seven or eight arrows, like hedgehogs, they still rushed to death.

The Wusun war cavalry finally discovered in despair that more and more heavy cavalry of the Liang army emerged, not dozens of cavalry, but hundreds of cavalry. Under the impact of the Liang army's heavy cavalry, the cavalry stabbed the spear and the wolf-toothed stick swept across the wall, the Wusun war cavalry turned into corpses...
