Chapter 172: Morale plummets
The person who came claimed to be a subordinate of the leader of the tribe, Yu Hu, and was ordered by the leader to send a personal letter to the general of the Han army.
A few lines of Chinese characters are written crookedly on the sheepskin, to the effect that Zhao Xin should be killed by the outside at night.
Those who know that the letter is the letter of the leader of the side tribe of the Yu clan, one of the great surnames of the Xiongnu, and those who don't know think that it is a nail under the nose of Zhao Xin by the Han army.
Tang Qi smiled: "The leader of your family is very interesting, and he can also use the art of war." However, the means of deception are a little inferior, and they can't deceive people. ”
The visitor knelt humbly, his face pressed to the ground, and explained in stiff Chinese: "My master is indeed sincerely inviting you to cooperate, not to surrender. ”
Then he told the situation in the army these days, and most of the leaders were dissatisfied with Zhao Xin.
"Oh?" Tang Qi was even more amused, "In other words, the leader of your family wants the big Han to take action, help them deal with the tyrant Zhao Xin, and then send them back to their hometown?" ”
"This is to treat my big man as his mercenary to the Tiger family?"
The cavalrymen also laughed, pointing at the visitors, and even maliciously gesturing with their swords.
The person who came was not in a hurry: "My master really wants to borrow the power of the Han army, but he will never let you use your strength in vain." ”
"The master said that the reason why your army only harasses a small group of troops is that there are not enough troops to fight against my 100,000 army, even if it is a surprise attack, there is no chance of victory."
"But if my master and a few leaders should join forces with each other, taking Zhao Xin's head will be as simple as an eagle pounceing on a rabbit!"
"There is only one request from the master, which is to let him and the several tribes he cooperates with, as for what to do with the rest of the people, it all depends on the meaning of the big man!"
"With such a great military achievement, there must be no reason for your army to refuse."
Tang Qi still didn't nod: "If the leader of your family wants to leave, just lead his troops to leave." Taking advantage of the night to run back, could it be that Zhao Xin could still lead the army to stop it? ”
The person who came was unhurried: "The general must have heard that my Hun Dashan is strict in governing the army." Since the second king did not issue an order to withdraw his troops, my master would be severely punished if he withdrew his troops without permission. ”
"But if the second king is defeated and the master fights a bloody way to survive, it will be different. At least the merits can be offset by the merits, and as long as Zhao Xin and his cronies are dead, no one will know the truth! ”
"My master said that this move was not a surrender, nor was it an allegiance to the Han. It's just a cooperation that is beneficial to both sides, and only this once, it will be an enemy in the future! ”
"Interesting."
Tang Qi narrowed his eyes.
The words that lingered around and around were nothing more than that I felt that it was too much of a loss to continue to stay.
Zhao Xin is unpopular, he doesn't want to work for this incompetent king anymore, it is better to save his strength and return to the tribe to live a good life!
If Zhengda Guangguang left, Zhao Xin might not refuse, but he would definitely not allow him to take all the tribal warriors away.
At most, like the previous noble breeds, they are allowed to leave with hundreds of guards.
But Yu Hu is not satisfied with life, but wants to preserve the power of the tribe and completely separate it from the second king!
"You wait, I'll have to discuss and discuss."
Tang Qi ordered the messengers to be escorted away, and then the three soldiers in the army came together.
"Master Hou, don't believe the nonsense of the Huns!" Some soldiers saw Tang Qi's move, and said anxiously, "The Huns have no faith at all, and it may be a trap for our army!" ”
"Yes, the enemy is outnumbered, once we are surrounded by Zhao Xin's army, it will be difficult for us to rush out!"
"Even if you can rush out, you won't be able to run far with heavy armor!"
"It's too risky!"
It's all right, following the advice of the tiger is indeed a great risk.
But then again, although the risk is big, if you succeed, the benefits are not small!
Tang Qi thought about it again and again, and stared at Lei Shu fiercely: "If you are asked to go to the Hun camp with you to respond to our army, do you dare?" ”
"Master Hou!" Several soldiers were in a hurry, "Hou Ye think twice!" ”
Tang Qi didn't speak, just stared at Lei Fu.
Lei was only in a cold sweat, his breathing became more and more rapid, but his expression was very excited: "The head of the family has an order, why don't the villain dare?!" ”
The so-called rangers are outlaws.
If you die for the righteousness of your family and country, what is there to fear?
"Good!" Tang Qi suppressed his excited voice, "Let's go and put it smart, if it happens, follow what I said to show due north." ”
"Remember, your task is not to kill Zhao Xin, but to ensure that our army's judgment is correct!"
Ray was clenched his fist: "No! ”
So he summoned the messenger who was in the tiger, and gave him such and such instructions.
The messenger did not hesitate, took the thunder quilt, and flew back to report the news.
Under the military order, although several military candidates were anxious, they did not dare to disobey the order, so they had to hope that Captain Huo could stop An Dinghou's reckless behavior.
If you want to attack the camp at night, of course, it is impossible for Tang Qi's more than 1,000 cavalry to harden it.
With the help of the telescope and the pre-agreed trajectory, Huo Quzhi quickly learned the news and joined Tang Qi's department.
To the disappointment of the soldiers, after Huo Quzhi knew the cause and effect, not only did he not accuse Tang Qi of being reckless, but agreed with it.
"I can't bear the child's trap on the wolf, I don't want to take any risks, what kind of battle do I have!" Facing the persuasion of several military candidates, Huo Quzhi rolled his eyes, "I think the Huns can't hold on, if it's really a trap, I will take you out again, and it will also make the Huns' morale plummet!" ”
"Besides, three thousand cavalry for a second king's department, what a cost-effective deal, it's done!"
The soldiers looked at each other and were speechless.
……
It turns out that Tang Qi and Huo Quzhi won the bet!
Yu Hu is a descendant of the Xiongnu noble Yu clan, but because he is not the eldest son, he was sent to the branch tribe as the leader.
Previously, it had always been directly under the royal court, and later Yi Zhixian in order to show his attention to Zhao Xin, so he allocated the part of Yu Hu to his jurisdiction.
Yu Hu himself is also Yi Zhixi's henchman.
Let him follow Zhao Xin, there is some meaning of surveillance.
Yu Hu also looked down on this self-second king, thinking that this guy was just a little king before, and he had surrendered to the Han people, which was a shame for the Huns!
Under Zhao Xin's command, the two sides have always been flying and domineering, and the two sides do not like each other.
This time, I saw that this battle was a bad battle, not to mention burning, killing and looting, and whether I could save the strength of the tribe and go back to Mobei was a problem.
Coupled with the pressure of the mysterious Han army, and Zhao Xin's continuous faint moves.
Where are you willing to continue to work for him?
Night.
On the grounds that Zhao Xin's people were rude to question his cronies, Yuhu took the guards to make a big fuss.
It's not the first time that something like this has happened, everyone is not surprised, Zhao Xin also put on the appearance of Corporal Lixian as usual, and said good words to appease.
After all, who would have thought that the dignified children of the Yu clan would collude with the Han Dynasty?
So Zhao Xin and several of his personal guards died quietly in the middle of the account, and they didn't even have time to scream!
