Chapter Twenty-Nine: Changes (I)
Tian Guang and Wu Yong, when they heard this hundred households say this, they were all taken aback.
I don't know where the Huns are going to fight this time?
The translator in front turned his head to look at Hikaru Shimota, and saw that Hikaru was winking at him.
Immediately took out a bag of copper coins from his bosom and handed it to the hundred households.
smiled and said to the Huns' hundred households: "The general has worked hard, and I have been doing business in your country for many years. It's a little caution on the part of this caravan, and the general will laugh at it. ”
The money minted by Yan State now, because of its excellent quality and fineness, has already become the circulating currency of all countries in the Central Plains and various tribes in the grassland, which is also one of the financial sources of Yan State at present.
This Hun hundred-hundred-household took the cloth pocket in his hand and knew that he had given a lot of money.
I put this cloth bag full of copper coins into my arms.
Haha laughed, and said to the translator, "Okay, let's go and trade before you enter the city." ”
Then, turning his head to the cavalry led by himself behind him, he shouted: "Go, go back to the city, and drink." ”
With that, he turned around and led his team of Hun cavalry and galloped towards the city.
After the Hun cavalry walked away, Wu Yong turned to look at Tian Guang: "Dongjia, it seems that the Huns are going to move troops!" ”
Tian Guang looked ahead and said to Wu Yong:
"I'll wait for the advanced city to figure out where the Huns are going to attack this time? Tell my king at once. It seems that the Xiongnu army is not going south, and the place where the army wants to gather should be in the east of us. ”
As the head of the Xiongnu royal court, the city outside the city is the same as the Central Plains city, with a wide moat.
There are no civil buildings in the city, only felt bags.
In the center of the city, there is a large tent with a diameter of more than 30 meters, which is where the royal court of Shan Yutouman is located.
Tian Guang's judgment is quite accurate, this time the Xiongnu are alone in Touman, and they are not ready to go south to invade the Central Plains.
At this time, it was in the royal tent in the head of Manchester City. Tou Manshan Yu, who was in his twenties, was summoning the ministers of the royal court such as the Xiongnu Zuo and Right Xian Wang, as well as the leaders of the various tribes who came to discuss many matters related to the dispatch of troops.
The front of the big tent is heavily guarded, surrounded by various flags representing various departments, waving in the wind.
Outside the tent, from time to time there were teams of Hun elite horsemen, galloping past.
Tou Man, who was sitting in the middle of the big tent, swept down the Hun ministers in the tent with his eyes, and said to everyone:
"The left and right virtuous kings, as well as the leaders of various departments, in the past ten years, everyone has been bored!"
The Hun ministers and tribal leaders in the tent all laughed when they heard their Shan Yu say this.
Touman also laughed, waved his hand, and the tent suddenly fell silent.
"We Huns are the descendants of wolves, and there is a saying in the Central Plains: "Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat." "We, the offspring of wolves, should walk in all directions. Now that our city has been built, it's time for us to do it. ”
The Hun ministers and tribal leaders in the tent all showed excited eyes.
A tribal leader stood up, put his right hand on his chest, and bent down to the head and said:
"Venerable Shan Yu, my Xiongnu tribes have long hoped for my king and led your people to conquer the Quartet. I don't know where Shan Yu is going to conquer this time? Is it the rich Central Plains in the south? ”
Touman shook his head and said to the tribal leader:
"Li Muda, since ten years ago, Lao Shan Yu led my Hun army south to the Central Plains, losing tens of thousands of warriors from our grassland. Ben Shan Yu knows that your tribe has lost thousands of warriors and wants revenge. ”
"However, if our Xiongnu army wants to cross the Great Wall of the Central Plains in the south and attack the three Central Plains countries bordering our Xiongnu, Qin, Zhao, and Yan, it is still impossible to do so at present."
Speaking of this, Tou Man said with emotion: "A few years ago, I went to Yan Kingdom. I didn't go to the capital of Yan Kingdom, but I stayed in Shanggu County, the border county of Yan Kingdom, for two months, and found that the military strength of Yan State is not something that my Xiongnu can take now. ”
"I also want to lead you into the Great Wall and stay in the Central Plains. However, as far as I know, the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Yan, which are adjacent to our Xiongnu, are the most powerful countries among the countries in the Central Plains. To be honest, we can't beat these three countries yet. ”
When Li Muda heard this, he was a little disappointed in his heart, and said to the head:
"Venerable Da Danyu, so where is our army preparing to crusade this time?"
Touman laughed, stood up, and walked over to a rudimentary map made of animal skins hanging in the tent.
Pointing to the northern part of the map, he addressed the ministers and tribal leaders in the tent:
"My courtiers, as far as I know, the Son of Heaven in the Central Plains is now dead. The various countries in the Central Plains are also competing with each other and annexing, and this is the best chance that Changshengtian has given me to rise to the Xiongnu. ”
"This time, my Xiongnu army is not going south into the Central Plains, nor is it attacking Yueshi and Donghu, which are equal to the strength of our Xiongnu. Instead, they went north to occupy the small tribal states of Dingling, Hun Yu, Qu Chai, Qi Kun, and Xin Li in the north. ”
"My courtiers, my Xiongnu want to live in the Central Plains, not now, but to unify the tribes of the grassland countries and constantly increase the strength of my Xiongnu. When we take these small northern countries, our strength will be far greater than that of the Yueshi and Donghu. ”
"At this time, if we attack the Yueshi and Donghu in the east, we will be able to unify this vast grassland. At that time, it was time for the cavalry of our Hun army to attack the Central Plains at the southern end of the Great Wall. ”
"In the future, we Xiongnu should also learn from the countries of the Central Plains in the south, and learn their strategies, which must be easy first and then difficult. This steppe belongs to our Xiongnu, and the prosperous and rich land in the south will also be ours in the future. My courtiers, do you understand now? ”
The Xiongnu ministers and the leaders of the tribes in the big tent stood up together, stroked their chests and bowed to their heads, and said:
"Obey the orders of the Great Order."
Tian Guang, who came to Touman City, took advantage of business and began to investigate the information of the Xiongnu's dispatch of troops.
Within two days, Wu Yong reported to Tian Guangyu:
"The owner, now it has been discovered that a large number of Xiongnu armies have begun to converge on the grasslands north of Touman. This time, the Xiongnu army, as the owner said, did not go south, but to the north, occupying the small tribal countries in the north, such as Ding Ling, Hun Yu, Qu Chu, Qi Kun, and Xinli. ”
Tian Guang frowned and asked Wu Yongdao: "How many troops did the Huns gather?" ”
Wu Yong hurriedly replied: "It is claimed to be an army of 300,000, but it is actually an army of 100,000. ”
Tian Guang sneered twice and said to Wu Yong: "The current head man Danyu really did not have the ambition of a wolf son as my king expected. Two years ago, I went to my Yan Kingdom to personally explore the reality of my Yan Kingdom. ”
"My king personally said that this Xiongnu will definitely be the great enemy of my Yan country in the future. Let me send this message back to Jidu as soon as possible, and inform my king. ”
"No." Wu Yong bowed and answered.
