"Before the straight road is built, everything can only react passively, and the speed of both the troops and the heralds are greatly limited, and this result is inevitable."

Before the 29th Army arrived in Longxi County, Li Ling received news from Baili Meng, that the 38th Army had not found the 30,000 Hun cavalry after arriving, and there was nothing in the entire territory of Longxi County.

These Hun cavalry had already withdrawn from the border of the Qin State one step earlier!

In addition, there is a bad news that cannot be regarded as bad news, through the investigation of all parties, and the figure of Cheng Chan has not been found, that is to say, Cheng Chan is very likely to be captured by the Huns, so that at least his life will not be threatened for the time being, and the Huns will definitely not kill this golden nest.

"Quickly send this news to Xianyang, and at the same time order Wang Jian to send another army to Beidi County, and the rest of the troops will stay in Yucheng not to move, continue to recruit troops and collect food, Zhang Han, your troops will also go to Beidi instead, and I will go to Longxi now."

Cheng Chan was taken captive, which proved that the Huns still had the possibility of negotiation, but now Li Ling was more worried about the problem of such a big move to recruit troops and food, if a large-scale conflict broke out with the Huns, then whether the six countries of Shandong could really stay in peace and stability.

The most taboo in war is a two-front battle, and he must change his strategy, at least to seek stability on the side of the Huns.

At the beginning, in the Zhangtai Palace, he impulsively wanted to raise the strength of the whole country to attack the Xiongnu, which was really inappropriate when he thought about it carefully.

After separating from the 29th Army, Li Ling hurried to Longxi County.

When he arrived in Longxi County, Meng Yi had already heard the latest news of the Huns, and some horse merchants had seen people from other countries on the territory of the Huns, and they should be from Yan when they were dressed, but they didn't know why Yan people were in Huns.

"Is it possible that the Yan people instigated the Huns to attack my Great Qin?"

"No, it's impossible. The general may not know that Prince Yan Dan has just questioned Qin, and it is impossible for King Yan to do such a stupid thing. ”

Hearing that Baili Meng thought it was the union of Yan and the Huns, Meng Yi directly denied it, he was engaged in intelligence, there are some things that Baili Meng may not know, but Ying Zheng will definitely let the current Meng Yi know the news for the first time.

"Could it be that King Yan heard that Li Mu was dead, so he wanted to attract the Huns to attack Zhao to take revenge, Yan and Zhao have fought for hundreds of years, I think there is such a possibility."

"Then he's not afraid to lure the wolf into the house? The Huns, whether they were Zhao or Yan, in their eyes, these were their granaries, and they lacked food and women and could use them at any time. ”

Li Mu, who has dealt with the Huns for most of his life, still knows the Huns very well.

"It doesn't matter if he is Yan Guo or Zhao Guo, for now, let's think about how to save Chang'anjun."

Bailimeng's temper was not impatient, but his troops didn't even bring food and grass, and rushed thousands of miles to Longxi, but after arriving here, they didn't even see the shadow of the Huns.

The 30,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu plundered into Longxi, looting a large amount of grain and grass in Longxi County, it stands to reason that the troops arrived in Longxi, and the supply of logistics grain and grass should be handed over to Longxi County to be responsible, but the Longxi County guard was captured, and the territory of Longxi was looted, and I am afraid that the 38th Army will have to run out of grain in a few days.

"Old general, can we set a trap to attract the Huns out, and then fight a battle, and then exchange prisoners of war for Chang'anjun's life?"

Li Ling looked at the map, in the case of the troops not being fully prepared, it is obviously impossible to attack the Huns in the depths of the desert, so at the moment he can only hope to deceive the main force of the Huns, only in this way can he find an opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the Huns, and then negotiate, and the province will be extorted by the Huns.

"Trap?"

"Yes, the reason why the Huns are violating our border right now is nothing more than to get some food for the winter, and the current movement of the army has obviously aroused the vigilance of the Huns, so why don't we just plan it?"

"You mean, you plan to use the logistics of the army as bait to attract the Hun cavalry to take the initiative?"

Li Mu instantly understood Li Ling's thoughts.

"But you are too risky to do this, first of all, the Huns have already sacked once, and they should not send troops again in the short term, and the Hun cavalry is too mobile, if there is even the slightest mistake in our plan, it may lead to immeasurable consequences."

"What then? You can't go directly to the Huns to negotiate, now that the Huns have the advantage, if you want to change back Chang'anjun, you have to pay a great price, I can't let go of a few cities without fighting. ”

"It's useless for you to let out the entire Longxi County, the Huns don't want a city, nor land, they still want us to grow grain and graze in Longxi, wouldn't it be more convenient for them to grab it directly?"

"I'm Nima!"

Hearing Li Mu say this, Li Ling couldn't wait to rush to the Hun royal court now, grab the Hun Shan Yu and ask what this guy wants to release Cheng Chan.

"Wu Anjun, don't worry, I have sent people deep into the territory of the Xiongnu, I believe it will not take long to find out the general situation of the Xiongnu now, and at the same time, we are already investigating the news of Chang'anjun, if we can find out where Chang'anjun is, maybe we won't have so much trouble."

"Well, then we can only take one step at a time."

There was no discussion at all about what the outcome was, and after watching everyone else leave, Li Ling had a headache.

"Master, maybe your solution is indeed feasible."

After a while, Li Mu came back and found Li Ling.

"Old general, please speak."

"We can arrange a pocket array here, and at the same time set up all the grain and grass of the army here, and then gather the main force of the Qin army in Longxi, and the soldiers will be divided into three ways to make a situation of wanting to find the Hun royal court and the Huns to fight to the death, so that the Huns will face more than 200,000 main forces of the Great Qin, and they will inevitably want to find a way to break the situation, and at this time, if the three-way army happens to be aggressive, the distance between it and the baggage troops, then the Huns will definitely attack after getting the news, and when the time comes, they will be surrounded and annihilated in one fell swoop!"

After further refining the plan for setting traps proposed by Li Ling before, Li Mu believes that it does have a certain feasibility.

"So, old general, your heart is still Zhao Guo's, and you have to do it for Zhao Guo, right?"

"Master, what do you mean by that? This plan was originally proposed by the master, why do you say that the old man is for Zhao Guo? ”

Li Mu never thought that after he said this, in exchange for Li Ling's evaluation of himself......
