Zhao Xin is a veteran, and he is also a veteran of a hundred battles.

Perhaps the experience of surrendering twice made him less determined to fight to the death.

But in terms of experience and understanding of the Han and Hungarian armies, no one can match it, even if the Bank of China says it!

Because the Bank of China said that he had been away from the Han Dynasty for too long, and he was just an internal servant before.

And Zhao Xin, last year, was still a serious leader of the Han Dynasty!

For the combat style of the Han army, there is no one who knows better than him.

But because of this, in the case of unequal information, it is also the most likely to misjudge.

Like now.

When Tang Qi and Huo Qubing each led a part of the soldiers and horses, they wandered around the Huns like ghosts, but all the lone teams would be swallowed up.

There are only three words that come to Zhao Xin's mind: "There are internal ghosts!" ”

Otherwise, it can't be explained at all!

Not only that, Zhao Xin continued to diverge, and even began to suspect that the use of troops by the Xiongnu this time was expected by the monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty from the beginning!

From the time he entered the territory of Shanggu County, he fell into the conspiracy of the Han people!

The more Zhao Xin thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and then he looked at the bustling camp, and there was suspicion in his sight.

If there is an inner ghost, who will it be?

Zhao Ponu is also Mo Che, it is very likely that if he did not really flee from the Han Realm, but was a chess piece scattered by the Han Dynasty from beginning to end.

It's not that it can't be explained.

But that doesn't explain why Zhao Ponu died in battle!

Did the Han people cross the river and tear down the bridge?

Take 10,000 steps back, even if it's really him, it can't be just him!

"Go and find out to me who has a good relationship with Moche, and which tribes have fought with him." Zhao Xin whispered, "Don't move too much, don't startle the snake!" ”

"Yes!"

However, it is one thing for the Huns to do a delicate job, and it is one thing to buy off the merchants in the Han Dynasty to pass on information, and it is another thing to conduct secret investigations in their own homes.

There is no systematic and procedural investigative process, and the result is that the cronies receive assignments and pass them on to the next cronies.

Layer by layer, the only way to think of is to ask around.

So in less than half a day, the news that the second king was going to carry out "internal purging" and the target was to follow and stop the car spread in an uproar.

And it's getting more and more outrageous!

From the beginning, the second king did not believe in Zhao Ponu, to Zhao Ponu's defeat may have been betrayed by a spy, and in the end, it even became Zhao Xin's desire to reward Zhao Ponu's original subordinates to others.

The most exaggerated statement is to hang all the people who followed Zhao Ponu before on the fox tail!

Come punish the disgrace of the defeat of the Vanguard!

Such an inexplicable statement, there are still many people who believe it.

Among them, not only the people of the Western Regions, the vassal tribes, but even the warriors of the headquarters are also uneasy!

Let's say that Zhao Ponu is Zhao Xin's cronies, although he has not been with him for a long time, he has always been very trusted and has been focused on cultivating.

Those who have followed him in the king's tent and who have carried him with him usually eat meat and drink wine.

There are countless at all!

Even because Zhao Ponu is not as brutal as other Xiongnu nobles, and he is not bad to the herdsmen and slaves at the bottom, his popularity is also very good.

If you really get involved, I don't know how many people will suffer!

Then another even more sensational rumor came out - there was not enough food in the army, so the king used this excuse to reduce the number of people in the army!

As soon as this rumor came out, those soldiers who had nothing to do with Zhao Ponu also began to panic.

If you don't have enough to eat, how long will it last?

Why don't you withdraw when there is no food?

If that's the case, today is Zhao Ponu's old ministry and old friends who suffer, will it be our turn tomorrow?

Especially the lowest-ranking people of the Western Regions, there are also vassal tribes that are not valued.

If there is really not enough food, the Huns will definitely be the first to attack them!

So much so that when Zhao Xin found out that something was wrong and wanted to call a stop, things were out of control.

The Huns, for the first time, deserters appeared!

First a few, a dozen, and finally dozens or hundreds.

The most exaggerated time, in one night, two hundred households escaped!

The hunting party still went out and died violently, and it was rumored that the Han army was more than one or two thousand people at all, and it was the cavalry of the entire Shanggu County that poured out, and the big tent had already been surrounded!

Zhao Xin was a pure martial artist who could fight but not govern the army.

In the Han Dynasty for a few years, he only learned to be strict in military discipline, but he did not learn how to maintain military morale.

After discovering the instability in the army, not only did he not say good words to appease him, but instead adopted a tougher posture to suppress it.

This has exacerbated the situation.

At first, it was still the lowest level, and the herdsmen and warriors fled without concern.

A few days later, even the noble races such as hereditary hundreds, thousands, and small tribal leaders began to waver.

Since it is no good to stay here, and he has to worry about the elusive Han army from time to time, the king is becoming mad day by day.

So why......

Thereupon.

On the sixth day after Zhao Xin ordered the "internal cleanup", in the evening.

More than 1,000 cavalry under Tang Qi were enjoying dinner behind a low hill, preparing to give a show to the Huns' camp at night.

The vigilant cavalry suddenly reported that a group of Huns waving their hands and not carrying weapons had been spotted in the distance!

At this time, there was no talk of the white flag surrendering, indicating a harmless general action, that is, the hands were raised in the air to signal that there was no hostility.

"Someone surrendered?" Tang Qi said strangely, "The vast grassland, as for the special surrender?" ”

The turmoil in the Hun camp these days, through the scattered Huns who fled, Tang Qi and Huo Qubing are all clear.

and tacitly adopted a conniving attitude of ignoring the deserters and only being invisible.

This made more and more deserters every day, but it was the first time that they were clearly looking for them to surrender.

"Maybe it's a message?" Ray was whispered, "It's also a trap, or ignore it?" ”

The guard added: "The subordinates have already observed, just a dozen of them in a team, and there are no other soldiers and horses around. ”

Tang Qi shook his head: "There is no dense forest around, so it is impossible to ambush." ”

If there were no telescopes, or the terrain was too complicated, Tang Qi would definitely ignore it.

But isn't it now surrounded by flat grasslands, and the most advanced shrub forest is also more than ten miles away?

Don't be afraid at all!

"Go to a few people, pick them up! I want to see who has the audacity to shout to Lao Tzu under Zhao Xin's nose. ”

"No!"

Ray was led by a man and led a man and horse to rush towards the place.

After a short period of panic, the Huns over there seemed to confirm that it was indeed the Han army, and they really raised their hands and rode in the direction of Lei Shu.

Tang Qi held the binoculars and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth: "Interesting." ”
