Chapter 161: March

After a day's walk, Lin Nan's army arrived at Dingxiang.

After a period of restoration, Dingxiang City became more prosperous, rested in the city for one night, and the next day, Lin Nan marched to the grassland with his whole army.

After walking for several miles, he saw several heralds rushing towards him.

When he came to the front, one of them saluted and said: "Zhang Nian, the herald of the first division of Bingzhou, was ordered to come to report the military situation and enlighten the lord: our division has reached the foot of Yin Mountain, and burned five Xiongnu tribes along the way, according to the scouts, the royal court of the left Xiongnu may be on the bank of the Naqi River, so General Xu is leading the cavalry regiment and infantry regiment to move closer to the Naqi River, and the reserve regiment is escorting the prisoners back to Shuofang. ”

Lin Nan stood up from the command car, returned a military salute and said: "Very good, tell your division commander, give me a good watch on the royal court of the Zuo Xiongnu, don't act rashly, I will immediately order the rest of the troops to move closer to you." ”

"No!" Zhang Nian clamped the horse's belly and galloped out again. At the same time, two more heralds followed.

Subsequently, another herald came to the front and saluted and said: "Li Wei, a herald of the second division of Bingzhou, has been ordered to come to report the military situation. Qi Yu Lord, our division has crossed the Su Lan Sea, burned three Xiongnu tribes along the way, leaving no prisoners, and now, our division is also moving closer to the Naqi River. ”

Lin Nan returned a military salute and said: "Very good, tell your division commander, and also monitor the royal court of the Zuo Xiongnu, don't act rashly, I will go to meet you immediately." ”

"No!" After speaking, Li Wei led the remaining two heralds to leave.

Seeing a few people leaving, Lin Nan said: "It seems that we are still late, these three people are really a thousand miles in a day." ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "The three generals are all impatient people, and it is normal to rush forward in a hurry, and at this time, the Huns are defenseless, and we have reason to fight, just." I don't know where the Third Division is now? ”

Lin Nandao: "Wen Yuan is tough and resolute, there should be no accidents, but this time, I will fight." But we knew the location of the royal court on the left side of the Huns, and caught a big fish. ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, everyone burst out laughing.

Therefore, Lin Nan sent an order to all the troops: speed up the march and quickly move closer to the Naqi River.

On the road. Lin Nan finally met the heralds of the Third Division, and it turned out that Zhang Liao was also moving closer to the Naqi River, and, like Gao Shun, Zhang Liao did not leave any prisoners.

And along the way, Lin Nan finally saw the results of the three generals, countless Hun tribes were burned, and many of the corpses of the Huns who were not burned were still exposed on the grassland.

I wanted to order someone to bury it. But the thought of a hasty march to the Nazi River was enough.

After two days of hurrying, Lin Nan's army finally saw the Naqi River, of course, along the way, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici also burned down two small Xiongnu tribes, so anxious that Zhang He and Zhang Fei also wanted to change the Xiong Storm and Hu Ben armies into cavalry.

Walking along the river, I saw the Han army galloping back and forth, and as soon as I saw Lin Nan's Daxu, those Han soldiers stepped forward one after another to salute. After inquiry. Lin Nan knew that Xu Huang, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao had surrounded the royal court of the Zuo Xiongnu, and. The two sides also fought several battles, each with its own winners and losers.

After walking for a few miles, I saw Xu Huang, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao coming towards them, and behind the three of them, there were several teams of cavalry.

When they came closer, the three of them saluted Lin Nan and said, "I've seen the lord." ”

Lin Nan hurriedly got up and returned the salute. said: "The three of you have worked hard. ”

Xu Huang said excitedly: "It's not hard, I've gained a lot along the way." After Xu Huang finished speaking, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao also nodded again and again.

Lin Nan smiled: "I heard about it, let's go into the camp and talk about it." ”

After walking for a few miles, I saw a large camp in front of me, stretching for dozens of miles. And Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Zhang He, and Zhang Fei have been here for a long time, and they have already set up camp.

Seeing this scene, Lin Nan smiled at everyone and said, "We're late again." ”

When they came to the big tent of the Chinese army, everyone had finished sitting, and Lin Nan said with a smile: "The three generals are really fast, we are desperately catching up, but we haven't caught up yet." ”

Xu Huang got up and said: "The military order issued to us by the lord said: 'Surprise and attack unprepared; The soldiers are fast, and the three roads go out together; without supplies, to feed the Huns; Leave no trouble, sweep the grassland. So we fought all the way to the Nazi River. Moreover, along the way, a lot of seizures were made, and the losses were very small. ”

After Xu Huang finished speaking, Gao said by the way: "According to the inquiries of our scouts and the information provided by the Hun captives, we have now surrounded the royal court of the Zuo Huns, I don't know what the next arrangement will be for the lord?" ”

Before Gao Shun's words fell, Zhang Fei got up and said: "Lord, let's fight, take the old nest of the Huns, and we will have no worries forever." ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Fei say this, Lin Nan smiled and said: "I haven't fought a battle along the way, and I know that Yide is suffocated." The Huns are going to fight, but it is not the Huns here who are fighting, because the Huns here are too unbeaten, and it is meaningless to fight. ”

Seeing that the crowd was not clear, Lin Nan said again: "Through your observation in the past two days, how many Huns are here?" How many are the young, the old, and the weak? ”

Zhang Liao said: "There should be nearly 100,000 Huns here, but there are mostly old, weak, women and children, and few young and strong. As Liao expected, this should be the royal court on the left side of the Xiongnu. ”

"What is the basis for Wen Yuan's words?"

Zhang Liao said: "The left part of the Xiongnu has not been as many as the right part of the Xiongnu, and in recent years, there have been two failed invasions and failures, and the whole army has been wiped out, so Liao thinks that there are not many people in the left part of the Huns." And the water and grass here are abundant, there are many gold-roofed tents, and it is not far from the annexation of the state, so this should be the royal court of the left of the Xiongnu. ”

"Wen Yuan's words are reasonable." Lin Nan nodded and said.

"So, I'm going to surround but not fight, waiting for the fat to come to my door."

As soon as they heard Lin Nan say this, the generals didn't understand it very well, and looked at each other and asked each other.

At this time, Yu Ban suddenly said: "Lord Mo Feilin wants to wait for Yu Fuluo to come to the rescue?" ”

Lin Nan to: "That's right, the left side of the Xiongnu royal court is besieged, and he will definitely ask the right side of the Xiongnu for help in Fuluo, and the same source, Yu Fuluo can't help but save it." Therefore, we only need to wait for work, as long as we defeat Yu Fuluo, the left side of the Xiongnu will go down without a fight. ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, everyone thought about it and said, "The lord is far ahead, I might as well wait." ”

Lin Nan then said: "It's just that we can't be sure now whether this is the royal court on the left side of the Xiongnu, so I want to ask someone to go to the Xiongnu tent to find out the truth and persuade them to submit." I wonder if any of you would like to go? ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Yu Xuan got up and said, "My subordinates are willing to go." ”

Lin Nandao: "Zhong Xiang, this trip is very dangerous, if you don't get it right, you won't be able to come back." ”

Yu said: "Since the entry into the state, the size of the work has not been built, and the private translation is very frightened, so I hope that the lord can give the prince a chance to make meritorious contributions." ”

Lin Nan thought for a while, and then said: "It's okay for Zhong Xiang to go, I hope Zhong Xiang can succeed and persuade the Huns to surrender, so as to avoid the disaster of swords." ”

Seeing everyone, Lin Nan said again: "I don't know if you have any objections?" ”

Seeing that everyone did not object, Lin Nan said: "Then in this way, all the departments are ready to go back, and they must besiege this group of Huns, but if appropriate, you can also release a few people who ask for help, and we still have to eat fatty meat." ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, everyone dispersed, only Jia Xu wanted to speak and stopped.

As soon as he settled down and walked around the camp, Lin Nan came to Jia Xu's camp.

Seeing Lin Nan coming, Jia Xu didn't have much curiosity, but smiled and said, "I know that the Lord will definitely come to me." ”

Lin Nan said: "I saw that you wanted to stop talking, and I was very suspicious, so I came to ask before, could it be that Wen He was a little worried about Zhong Xiang?" ”

Jia Xu said: "I really can't hide anything from the lord, I'm really a little worried about Zhong Xiang." The Huns are murderous and extremely cruel, and now the two armies are fighting, although we have surrounded them, but they have plenty of grain and grass inside, and there are reinforcements from Yufuluo, the outcome is not yet known, and at this time to persuade them to surrender, I am afraid that there will be no gain. ”

After Jia Xu finished speaking, Lin Nan said helplessly: "I also know that persuasion has little effect at this time, but we must always salute first and then soldier." It would be great if the 100,000 men on the left side of the Xiongnu could be converted. And Zhong Xiang is anxious to make contributions, so I have no objection, but whether it is successful or not, the Huns should not be embarrassed by Zhong Xiang, at most, that is, he is just a hostage. ”

As soon as he heard Lin Nan say this, Jia Xu said: "It turns out that the lord has been worried for a long time, and it seems that he is worried too much." ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Where, Wenhe's plan is far-reaching, Nan admires it very much." ”

If Jia Xu wanted to say anything, he listened to the herald outside the tent to report: The two generals Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were waiting for the lord in the big tent, and there was something important to report.

So, Lin Nan hurriedly said goodbye to Jia Xu and returned to the Chinese army's big tent. (To be continued.) )
