Soon Lachar led the remnants of the defeated army to the city of Kedun, and when Xiao Tienu saw him, he said angrily: "What is going on between you and the Mongols? ”

After a long time, he was finally forced to tell the truth. It turned out that the Hongjira tribe and the Mongolian tribe had intermarried for generations, and the relationship was very good. In this generation, the daughter of Rachar was betrothed to the son of Hebul. Who knew that after Xiao Tienu went north, Rachar envied the wealth and strength of the Han Dynasty and the poverty of the Mongolian department, and at the instigation of several elders in the clan, he actually changed his mind and dedicated his daughter Sang Ying to Xiao Tienu, and finally became pregnant with Xiao Jun's cub! This incident reached the Mongolian Ministry, and the leaders of Hebul and other leaders were extremely ashamed. I heard that Xiao Tienu went north, and actually united the enemy of the Han Dynasty, the Wugu Department, and several good tribes, to find Xiao Tienu and Rachar's bad luck, and now the Mongolian, Wugu and other departments of the coalition army of about 20,000, has arrived at the northwest of Kedun City 200 miles, Hebul led the crowd to defeat Raqar, and prepared to take advantage of the victory to pursue, enter Kedun City.

Rachar's words were so muttered that Xiao Tienu burst into flames when he heard this, pulled out his knife, and shouted: "You troublesome waste, I will kill you!" "Jump over and kill him.

Xiao Tienu chased him to the outer hall, ordered to intercept him left and right, and was about to make a move, when he suddenly ran past a woman with a slightly bulging belly, stopped in front and shouted: "Dashuai, be merciful!" "But it's Sang Ying.

Xiao Jun was horrified when he saw this, afraid that Xiao Tienu would kill her by mistake, so he rushed over and hugged Xiao Tienu's arm, and blurted out for a moment: "Dad! ”

Xiao Tienu glanced at him, his hand loosened, and shouted: "This person has caused my big man to lose his faith and righteousness on the grassland, even if he dies a hundred times, he can't resist the crime!" ”

Sang Ying shouted: "Dashuai! Now that the soldiers are in the crossing, let's solve the external troubles first, and then deal with my father's sins! On the grassland, where there is a knife, there is faith! Defeat the enemy, and Xinyi returns! ”

Xiao Tienu snorted, "Defeat the enemy? Just rely on him? He's only going to lose the battle! ”

Xiao Jun said: "No matter what, first stabilize the inside, then you can fight outsiders." ”

Xiao Tienu said angrily: "Stabilize the inside? It is because we keep him that we are not stable internally! ”

When Sang Ying heard this, she knew that Xiao Tienu didn't trust them anymore, and stepped forward and said, "Okay! Then please Xiao Dashuai to stop my father and watch our Hongji Department fight for the Han Dynasty. If we can make meritorious service, please also ask Xiao to pardon my father's sins for the merits. If we have different intentions, Xiao Dashuai will take my father's life again, and then I will have nothing to say from top to bottom. ”

Before Xiao Tienu could decide, the general of the scout battalion hurriedly came to report: "There is a trace of the enemy in the southeast, it seems that the situation is not good!" ”

Xiao Jun exclaimed: "Enemy Martyrdom? We have nothing to do with them, what are they doing here? ”

Sang Ying said: "The wolves on the grassland have always bullied the weak and feared the hard!" When you see a tiger and a leopard, you run away, and when you see a sheep and a deer, you pounce! When they came so close, they didn't send an envoy to meet the commander first, and that was probably deceiving us. ”

Xiao Tienu snorted: "Sheep and deer? Haha, when did my Xiao Tienu become a sheep and a deer? ”

Sang Ying said: "If we have blood on our teeth, we are tigers and leopards, and if we have wounds on our bodies, we are sheep and deer." Please allow me to lead my troops to dye a stain of blood, and use the blood of the enemy martyrs to prove that the soldiers in this city are not sheep or deer, but tigers and leopards! ”

Xiao Tienu glanced at her and sneered, "You? ”

Sang Ying said: "Not bad! My father didn't give birth to one or two promising sons, so I had to go! ”

Xiao Tienu laughed and said, "Okay! I will give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, and I will not need you to do great things, as long as you can dye your teeth red, I will be spared the sins of Rachar! ”

Sang Ying looked at Xiao Jun and said to Xiao Tienu: "I heard that the general of the Central Plains has a general order to go on an expedition, so Sang Ying asked for the general's order." ”

Xiao Tienu gave her his waist knife and said, "This is the general order!" ”

Sang Ying went to gather the remnants of the Hongji Tribe, a total of 3,000 people, raised the knife that Xiao Tienu gave her and said, "Brothers of the Hongji Division! We are looked down upon! Because we've just lost the battle! The Han court said that we were guilty and unworthy of the title given to us, and the Mongolian Ministry bullied us, saying that we were only worthy of giving birth to daughters and marrying them! Brothers, are we really so useless? ”

The bloody men of the Hongji tribe roared angrily, and Sang Ying said again: "Now that I have received Xiao Dashuai's treasure knife and want to fight and make meritorious contributions, I want to tell the Han court and the Mobei tribes: Even if there is only one woman left in our Hongji tribe, we are not a bad seed!" Are you going with me? ”

One of Sang Ying's cousins rushed out first and said, "Let's go!" ”

Xiao Tienu gained Sang Ying's 2,000 soldiers and horses, Sang Ying led the troops out of the city, Xiao Jun was worried, but he didn't know what to do. Xiao Tienu glanced at him and snorted, "Something that has no interest!" "Command the generals to prepare grain, grass, cattle and sheep for advance and retreat. When he was sick and pursued Yelu Tiege, he almost took most of the cattle and sheep as military resources, and most of the cattle and sheep brought by Xiao Tienu into Kedun City were taken away by Mu Qin, and there were not many cattle and sheep in the city at this time, and the food mainly relied on grain. Cattle and sheep are conducive to migration, but grain is difficult to carry, so as far as food is concerned, the mobility of Xiao Tienu's army has been weakened.

The next few days were uneventful, five days later, the southeast smoke and dust were billowing up, Xiao Tienu heard the news and personally led the troops to prepare to meet the attack, the two armies approached, but saw that the opposite side was under the banner given by the Han army to the Hongji Ministry, but it was Sang Ying who came back.

Sang Ying approached, ordered the military horses to stop, ordered people to bring out more than 300 captives, held a head by herself, dismounted and knelt in front of Xiao Tienu's saddle, raised the treasure knife given to her by Xiao Tienu with her left hand, and raised a bloody head with her right hand, and said: "General Sang Ying, walked southeast for two days, met the enemy martyr department, and found out that five of their enemy martyr troops had come, with a total of 24,000 men and horses, intending to encircle my southeast direction. I launched a night attack that night, killing and dispersing the two parts of the Giant Mother, obtaining 972 pairs of ears and capturing 322 people. The remaining three, fear retreats! This is the head of the Hora tribe! ”

Xiao Tienu ordered someone to verify it, and said with great joy: "Good job! Haha, I didn't expect Rachar to have a daughter like you! For your sake, I forgive him his grave sins! From now on, you are also my daughter! ”

Sang Ying was overjoyed and said, "In addition, there is also a military intelligence report!" ”

Xiao Tienu nodded, ordered someone to reward the meritorious soldiers, and returned to the marshal's mansion in the city with Sang Ying, asking her what else she had about the military.

Sang Ying said: "I found out that the reason why the enemy martyrs came to attack was that we were already under siege. Although the other three divisions retreated this time, they did not break up, and may still harass our southeast road. ”

Xiao Tienu frowned and said, "Encirclement? What encirclement? ”

Sang Ying said: "In our northeast, there are Mongolians and Wugu, and in the west is the Khitan army. The reason why their enemy martyrs dared to come was that they heard that the sick general had been deceived into death by Yelu Tiege, so Yelu Tiege was able to call on the Mobei tribes to besiege Dashuai. ”

Xiao Tienu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "There are people in the sick army who are familiar with the road, and he has sufficient military resources, so he is not so easy to be trapped!" Hmph, I still have tens of thousands of troops now, relying on the city of Kedun, with food and horses, even if the Mongols, Ugu, and enemy martyrs all arrive, they can't help me! ”

He still ordered people to reconnoiter and ride out, while listening to the movements of the Mongol, Wugu, and enemy martyrs in the east, and at the same time contacting the people of Qubing and Muqin in the west. The situation in the east gradually became clear, as Sang Ying said, Mongolia and Wugu were slowly approaching from the northeast, but they were afraid of the prestige of Xiao Ziqi, and they did not dare to directly force the city for a while, and the southeast was the enemy martyrs who were wandering and watching. On the contrary, in the west, all the people sent out have gone and never returned.

Xiao Tienu was secretly frightened, and hurriedly sent someone to the south, contacted Topjia, and transferred him to the north to join the division.

The day after the men sent to the south set out, a knight from the west finally returned—but by the time the messenger returned to the city, he was a corpse, scarred even by the horse under his crotch. The general of the scout battalion checked his corpse and hurriedly reported to Xiao Tienu: "What he has in his body is our arrow?" ”

"Our arrows?"

"Yes. To be exact, the arrow we allocated to Mu Qin! ”

When the generals present heard this, Xiao Tienu stood up and shouted, "Count the population in the city and see if Mu Qin's immediate family is still there!" ”

Soon the official came to report: Mu Qin's closest relative left in the city of Kedun, that is, his cousin.

Xiao Tienu was furious, but the generals were all panicked, some said that if Mu Qin betrayed the seed and fell ill, most of them would have died, some said that they should quickly and thoroughly investigate the people of the same clan as Mu Qin, some said that they should quickly contact Topujia in the south, and some said that they should quickly ask the imperial court to increase troops.

Seeing that this group of subordinates suddenly became like a group of headless flies, Xiao Tienu was furious in his heart: "This group of useless guys! Then he said: "That's not right! They're messed up because I'm messed up! I can't mess around! Can't mess around! ”

He looked up at the west and thought, "Why did Mu Qin betray?" Don't...... Is it for his nephew Arrando? ”

Mu Qin's nephew Allando was executed in accordance with the military law of the Han army when he collided with the car of Yan Hu and Zhao Ju'er in the northeast. If Mu Qin really betrayed this time, could Arlando's death be the trigger?

The matter of Arlando only flashed in Xiao Tienu's mind, and then he skipped it, and said in his heart: "It doesn't matter why Mu Qin betrayed!" The most important thing now is the crisis at hand! Crisis...... Crisis...... What crisis can we have? There are still tens of thousands of troops in Kedun City, and if there is no help from the sick, it is impossible to pacify Mobei, but as long as I have no shortage of food and grass, even if Yelu Tiege, Muqin, Mongolia, Wugu, and the enemy lie all work together to trap me, it will not be so easy! Not to mention, they may not be able to work together. Wait a minute! There is no shortage of food and grass...... There is no shortage of grain and grass......"

Xiao Tienu stood up suddenly, and shouted, "Go, check the granary again!" ”

The generals were stunned for a moment, and the official in charge said: "The granary is heavily guarded, it should be fine." ”

Xiao Tienu's face was like cold iron: "Knock down the grain piles in the granaries that haven't moved yet, and then take a look!" ”

――――――

Tsk, at the end of the chapter, I can't help but nag a few words: The women of Hongjirabu are very good, Temujin's wife (that is, Jochi, Chagatai, Ogedai, and Tuolei's mother), Kublai Khan's wife and mother, are all from Hongjirabu. The Hongji tribe is simply a descendant clan for the Mongols, which is a bit like the surname Xiao of the descendant clan of the Liao State. It is said that Temujin also had a clear decree: the daughter of Hongjirabu is married to the prince, and the man is married to the princess, which shows what a beautiful scenery it was back then. Alas, when his head was hot, Xiao Jun, this kid, picked up a bargain.
