Chapter 271: The Great Khan and the Princess
Regarding the question raised by Meng Tian, Huang Bao and Zhang Kui both expressed their denial. Zhang Kui thought for a moment and then said: "The last general doesn't know as much as General Huang, but according to the last general, the princess of the Xiongnu Great Khan is definitely not in the hands of the leaders of the five major tribes. ”
Huang Leopard agreed with Zhang Kui's opinion, and he continued Zhang Kui's words and said, "The last general also thinks so. ”
Meng Li looked at Meng Tian for a moment, then at the yellow leopard, and he asked, "Why are you so sure?"
The yellow leopard shook his head, and he replied, "Actually, until we find this princess of the Great Khan, we are not sure where she is, or who is in her hands. However, according to the current situation, except for the Abbasi and Arosa tribes, which are close relatives, the other three tribes are all independent and do not obey anyone. Take this attack on the Blackwater Camp as an example, all the people who came were the Tarim Sangkun men of the Kazakun tribe, and none of the other four tribes came to help, I think they may also wonder if the princess is in the hands of the other party. ”
After listening to the analysis of Huang Leopard and Zhang Kui, Meng Tian was thoughtful. His intelligence on the Huns is naturally inferior to Zhang Kui and Yellow Leopard, who have been stationed here for several years or even more than ten years. Regarding the analysis of the two of them, Meng Tian also believed that the princess of the Xiongnu Great Khan could not be in the hands of one of the five major tribal leaders.
Meng Tian looked at the three people and said: "No matter where this princess is, it is naturally a good thing that our people can find her, and if they can't find it, they can't let the Huns get it, so this matter is also the focus of the next intelligence spying on the Huns." Also, in the past few days, the Blackwater Camp has already been settled by Hun soldiers from other tribes, and it seems that it won't be long before the Huns will make a move on one of the rock cities or Heishui City, so General Huang, when you go back, you must be prepared to prevent the Huns from sneaking attack. ”
"The last will understand. It's just that the walls of Heishui City are not as high as Yancheng, and the number of troops is not as large as that of Yancheng, so I'm afraid that only 30,000 people in the city may not be able to withstand the attack of the Huns. The yellow leopard voiced his concerns to Meng Tian.
In fact, after learning that Meng Tian led a large army into Rock City, Yellow Leopard wanted to come to meet him, and asked for more troops and food and grass supplies for Blackwater City by the way. The advantage of Blackwater City is that it is a brick and stone wall, so it is not easy for the Huns to attack. But then again, there are only 30,000 Qin soldiers in Heishui City, and if you face several times the number of Huns, even if you consume them, you can consume these 30,000 people.
Meng Tian naturally understood what the Yellow Leopard meant, and he said to Meng Li: "Brother Meng, when the Yellow Leopard General leaves, you will lead 20,000 people to go with him and go to Heishui City to help General Huang resist the attack of the Hun army." ”
Meng Li got up and said, "Okay." ”
Yellow Leopard hurriedly stood up and thanked Meng Tian: "The last general has thanked the general, with the assistance of Deputy Commander Meng, I believe that Blackwater City will definitely be fine." ”
"It's nature. Meng Tian walked over and patted the yellow leopard on the shoulder and said, "When our reinforcements arrive, we will have a vigorous battle with the Huns, drive them back to their hometown, and never dare to invade our Great Qin again." ”
The Qin army was in full swing to mobilize the army, and the whereabouts of the 20,000 army naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of the Huns. Although Meng Li and Yellow Leopard took 20,000 horses and horses to spare a large circle far away before entering Heishui City, they were still discovered by the Huns.
After learning that another 20,000 Qin troops had entered Heishui City, Tarim Sangkun, who was now the leader of the Xiongnu army in the Heishui Battalion, was a little worried, and the 50,000 troops under his command lost almost one-third of the attack on the Heishui Battalion, of course, these losses were also made up by the manpower of the other four tribes, so he still had 50,000 troops in his hands. In exchange, he took out half of the Qin army materials captured on the battlefield, and according to Tunaji, when the big leader saw the people of the four tribes pulling away the captured Qin army materials, the big leader was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. 31
The equipment, weapons and other things of the Qin army have always been in high demand among the Huns, and an ordinary Qin army long knife can be exchanged for fifty cattle and sheep from the leader of his tribe. It can be seen from this that the things of the Qin army are such valuable objects in the eyes of half of the Huns.
"Brother Tunaji, the big chief, he has something to do with you. Tunaji was beside a Qin army's chariot in the Heishui camp, watching a few people from the Central Plains who had been captured before fiddling with this thing.
"What is the big leader looking for me, are you going to attack the city of Qin?" Tunaji got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and walked towards the big tent in the barracks.
The current Blackwater Camp is not only staffed by people from the Kazakun tribe, although there are manpower from the four major tribes to replenish the men killed in the Tarim Sangkun battle, but in order to prevent the attack of the Qin army, the four leaders also transferred some of the men and horses in the base camp on the grassland to the Blackwater Camp to station. Now there are nearly 80,000 Huns stationed in the Heishui camp, and outside the wall of the original Heishui camp, Sang Kun ordered his subordinates to cut down trees and build a wooden wall on the periphery again, and the current Heishui camp has become a hollow-shaped Hun military camp.
Seeing Tunaji come in, Sang Kun let go of a young concubine in his arms, asked Tunaji to sit down, and then said: "Tunaji, my most heroic warrior, this time the leader came to you because he wanted you to do something. ”
Tunaji put one hand on his chest, bent down and said respectfully: "Great chief, Tunaji is willing to obey any of your dispatches. ”
Sang Kun kicked out everyone in the tent, including his beloved concubine. After driving everyone out, Sang Kun summoned Tunaji to his side and whispered, "My son has sent me news that he has seen a woman who looks very similar to Princess Yinting in a small tribe next to the Hulan River, but he is not sure. But that tribe is under the jurisdiction of the Abbasi tribe, so I want to send you to see if it is the Great Khan's Princess Yinting, and if so, bring her back to me. ”
Tunaji once followed Tarim Sangkun to meet the Xiongnu Great Khan, so he had several encounters with the Great Khan's beloved princess. The Great Khan's most beloved Princess Yinting is now the only proud daughter of the heavens on the grassland, and everyone knows that as long as she marries Princess Yinting, then she can directly sit on the throne of the Great Khan, and she will enjoy endless glory in her life. So now the importance of Princess Yinting is more convenient and faster than attacking Daqin and finally ascending to the throne of the Great Khan, and more importantly, it is said that Princess Yinting has an angel-like face, and a man will fall in love with her when he sees her.
Tunaji knelt in front of Sangkun, "Don't worry, big leader, Tunaji will definitely bring that woman to you." ”
"Okay, you go and get back quickly, and remember not to attract the attention of the people of the four tribes. "Although his own manpower has been replenished, Sang Kun himself is now under the surveillance of others at all times, so Princess Yinting must be cautious in this matter.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Tarim Sangkun secretly sent Tunaji away. Although it was a secret operation, it was not an ordinary difficulty to send a person away under the noses of tens of thousands of people, so although Sang Kun had made sufficient preparations, he was still seen by a few people from the Abbasi tribe.
Seeing Tarim Sanji secretly leaving the barracks with his subordinate Tunaji, Sangkun was the only one who came back soon after. The Abbasi tribesmen, who had been ordered to keep a close watch on Sangkun, felt that something was going on and hurried to report it to their chief chief.
Finally, after waiting for a few days, the hornet led 50,000 reinforcements from the Mengjia army to Yancheng and successfully rendezvoused with Meng Tian. In this way, counting the men and horses of Rock City and Heishui City, Meng Tian had a total of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and with these soldiers and horses, Meng Tian would dare to fight with the Huns in the Heishui Battalion.
"Send a message to Brother Meng and General Huang in Blackwater City, telling them that we will attack the Huns in the Heishui Camp the day after tomorrow, and let them see our signal and attack the Huns from both sides of Heishui City to take the Heishui Camp back!"
