Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu led their troops to recapture Shuofang City.

Taiwei Li Rong quickly transferred 100,000 troops, tens of thousands of people, a large number of equipment and military rations from Taiyuan City, and began to strengthen the city defense of Shuofang City.

Material resources are continuously transported from the rear to Shuofang.

With Li Rong sitting in Shuofang City, he has no worries.

Ten days later.

Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu led the 50,000 new troops after the rest to the prairie.

It was early autumn, and the weather had just turned cool, not too cold.

They could not delay any longer, and in the depths of winter after three or four months, it would snow heavily on the grasslands, which would be very unfavorable for them to march and fight and conquer the Huns.

...

20,000 chariots, 20,000 gunpowder gun light cavalry, and 10,000 heavy cavalry, the carriages carried a large amount of food and munitions, and slowly entered the prairie.

Leaving Shuofang City, passing the outermost Jilusai, and turning over the Yin Mountain, there is an endless prairie. There are almost no people and cities in sight, only grasslands and a very small number of Xiongnu tents that live in pursuit of water and grass.

However, the Xiongnu actually also had two important symbolic territories.

One of them is the territory of the Wolf Juxu Mountains as the center and the activities of the Left Huns.

The other is the Yanran Mountains as the center, the territory of the right Xiongnu activities. It is also where the court of the Xiongnu is located, and a city - Dragon City was built as a holy place to worship the sky.

This left and right the Xiongnu Department, divided the entire vast steppe for thousands of miles, and dominated the north.

"But make the dragon city fly, don't teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain!"

Chu Tianxiu looked at the endless prairie and couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, when I listened to this poem in Chinese class, I was always confused, and I couldn't tell where "Yinshan and Longcheng" were.

Today, I learned that Yinshan was on the edge of Shuofang City, guarding Shuofang City. This Yin Mountain is the boundary between the Xiongnu steppe and the border city of Great Chu.

Once Huma crossed Yin Mountain, he was at the foot of Shuofang City.

And this dragon city, in the hinterland of the Xiongnu, was the political center of the Xiongnu.

Li Kangnian rode a horse, looked at the map of the prairie, and was a little puzzled.

"Uncle, which direction are we going? To attack the Left Huns in the area of Wolf Juxu Mountain, or to attack the Right Huns in the area of Yanran Mountain? ”

Li Kangnian was puzzled.

Although the new army went out to fight against the Xiongnu, their generals did not know Chu Tianxiu's calculations and how to fight this battle.

"None of them! We passed from the prairie between the two mountain ranges, Wolf Juxu and Yanran Mountain, all the way north! ”

Chu Tianxiu smiled.

"All the way north?"

Li Dangnian looked puzzled, "What kind of place is that?" ”

On this map, there is no indication of what is after passing through the face mountain. Estimate... It's still the prairie! As for whether there were more Huns there, it is not clear.

Don't say he doesn't understand, the rest of the generals don't understand either.

Still, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, they have absolute confidence in Chu Tianxiu, and they will go wherever Xiao Duhou points out.

...

In the entire steppe, all the Xiongnu tribes were extremely nervous, closely monitoring the movements of this 50,000 soldiers and horses Chu army.

Fortunately, because there were as many as 20,000 infantry chariot troops, the carriages were of course slower than the horses, and the marching speed was much slower than that of the light cavalry, estimated to be only half.

Therefore, the Hun cavalry spies easily tracked the movements of this Chu army and followed them all the way.

The court of the Huns.

"Report! Shan Yu, Xiao Duhou led a Chu army of 50,000 horses, left Shuofang City, to... Yanran Mountain and Wolf Juxu Mountain went in the middle direction. ”

The Hun spies reported urgently.

The military ministers Shan Yu, Yi Zhi and the Huns were all stunned.

The right Xiongnu department where the Xiongnu royal court is located is in the area of Yanran Mountain, and is led by the military minister Shan Yu.

The Left Xiongnu Department is in the area of Wolf Juxu Mountain, and is led by Shan Yu's younger brother, Yi Zhi.

If Great Chu wanted to march north, he would definitely choose one of them as the target of the attack.

The Chu army should be aware of this information.

They didn't go anywhere, but they were going to pass through the middle of the grassland, what were they trying to do?!

What is Chu Jun going to do?

What does the little dusk want to do?

"Yizhi, you have dealt with Xiao Duhou in Jinling City. What is the intention of the little Dusk Marquis? ”

The military minister was puzzled and glanced at Prince Yizhi.

Yi Zhi was also confused, "This... Brother Wang, I can't see it either. In the middle of these two mountains, there are only a few small tribes, and it makes no sense for him to pass through the middle!

Is he trying to copy us? ... No, the prairie can be walked on all sides, so there is no way back. Could it be that he is a decoy, and there are other Chu troops behind?! ”

"I haven't seen any other Chu troops, so I left Shuofang City."

"Whatever he wants to do, keep an eye on him! Daily Newspaper! ”

"Yes!"

...

A few days later.

"Report! Shan Yu, Marquis Xiao Dull led 50,000 Chu troops, passed through the Guyan Mountains in the north, and continued to the north... Didn't stop! ”

The Hun spies came back to report.

The military ministers Shan Yu, Yi Zhi and the Hun kings were all stunned.

Guyan Mountain, for the Huns, can already be regarded as their north. Continuing north, it is a bitter cold land, with heavy snow in winter, the snow season is too long, and there is a lack of water and grass to raise sheep.

The Huns did not want to stay in that kind of place, and they all tried to live in the south, near the border of Great Chu.

The climate here is warm, the rainfall is more, and the water and grass are abundant, so that hundreds of thousands of Huns can be fed.

Passing through the Guyan Mountain, the kind of bitter cold bird that doesn't in the north, who wants to go! The punished Huns will be exiled to the north.

In the north, there are not many Xiongnu tribes living there, and even if there are, they are very few small tribes.

"This little faint marquis, can't he get lost on the prairie? Can't find where our main Huns are? ”

"It shouldn't be, he is a new generation of famous generals in Dachu, how could he make such a low-level mistake!"

The Hun princes muttered in their hearts one by one.

"Let's go, gather 500,000 soldiers and horses on the left and right of my Huns, and go see what Xiao Duhou wants to do!"

The military ministers thought about it for a while, but they didn't understand what the little dusk marquis was doing in the north of the prairie.

However, he was always a little uneasy.

The little dusk marquis led his army through the prairie, and he couldn't just let it go.

He was a military minister, Shan Yu, as the overlord of the steppe, and the ruler of the steppe.

Xiao Duhou ignored his existence like this, swaggered through his territory, and even ignored the Xiongnu tribes, which was a deep contempt and humiliation!

This is even more outrageous than directly attacking the Xiongnu royal court.

If you let the little dusk marquis lead the army to walk around the prairie.

He is single, how can he have the face to order the Huns.

Prince Yizhi nodded, "Brother Wang, since the little dusk marquis is alone in the north.

Then let's just go deep in the prairie and eat all the 50,000 soldiers and horses of Xiao Duhou! Even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't escape back to Shuofang City in these thousands of miles.

He is known as the most capable god of war in Dachu, and he dares to go deep into the prairie with only 50,000 soldiers and horses. We, 500,000 light cavalry, don't believe that we can't swallow him. ”

"Not bad!"

"We led an army of 500,000 to deploy defenses in the area of Guyan Mountain, blocking his escape route back to Dachu. Back then, the Great Chu Emperor Xiang Yanran was almost besieged to death by us once, and he escaped by luck. This time, you can't let Xiao Duhou escape back. ”

"Let's go!"

"Besiege the Marquis of Little Dusk!"
