In the autumn of the third year of Yuanguang, 100,000 Huns marched southwards. The military situation was urgent, and imperial edicts were sent to the border counties of Chang'an.
When Evan Zhao arrived at Yunzhong County, the border troops had already fought with the Xiongnu.
Judging from the flags raised by the enemy, it was no surprise that it was the army of Yu Shan, the Left Wise King. In addition to the 20,000 cavalrymen of the army, there were also Xianbei, Qiang, Di, Dingling and Yuezhi escorts, and the army was pressing towards the border counties.
Wherever the cavalry passed, the city of Hu was completely wiped out.
The surrendered tribes moved into the fortress one after another. The men took up bows and arrows and short swords to follow the Han army to fight. The women, the elderly and half-grown children packed up their tents and slaughtered cattle and sheep to provide food for the defenders.
