302 The Great Flicker and the Return Rifle

"Brother Junchen, I apologize very much for letting you work in vain for two months under Shuofang City. This king's son-in-law is too powerful, and he broke the alliance of princes in just one month, which disappointed you.

You have been here for two months, and all of you are yellow and thin, and even the horses are almost hungry and thin, so that this king can't bear to look at them directly!

It's a long time coming, and there will be a goodbye day in the future. Go back to the grassland, and the king won't send it. ”

Li Rong laughed loudly.

The military minister looked at the information in his hand, and his face darkened.

However, the military minister Shan Yu did not fully believe Li Rong's words, worried about fraud, and wanted to trick him into retiring from the army.

He waited for two more days in the Xiongnu camp outside Shuofang City, and finally received several pieces of information from the Xiongnu spies.

Sure enough, the Wujiang camp was breached, and the 500,000 troops of the rebellious princes of the Ten Roads were all wiped out.

The rebellion of the princes was quelled by the Marquis of Xiaodu.

Xiao Duhou defeated the princes of the Ten Roads, causing a sensation in the world, this matter is already known to the world in Dachu, and there is nothing to fake.

The civil strife of the Great Chu Dynasty was gone, and the Xiongnu had no way to take advantage of the chaos to pick peaches and pick up cheap.

"Withdrawal ——!"

After receiving this information, the military minister Shan Yu couldn't help but sigh at the Fangcheng of Shuo, and reluctantly ordered the leaders of the accounts to lead the 500,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu to retreat and go to the steppe in the direction of Jiluo Mountain.

The forage of the Xiongnu was scarce, and all the tribes had to go back to feed the horses.

500,000 Xiongnu tribesmen and horses cannot be wasted under Shuofang City.

...

Tai Lieutenant Li Rong was brightly clothed and stood on the city tower with a smile on his face, watching the military minister Shan Yu lead the Xiongnu army and slowly evacuate outside Shuofang City.

Wait for the Hun army to disappear into the distance.

His smile quickly retracted, and his expression became a little heavy.

The so-called Shuofang hoarded a large amount of grain and grass, which could last 70,000 soldiers and civilians for a year, which was complete boasting.

This rebellion of the princes broke out too suddenly, and the imperial court responded in a bit of a hurry, and many things were not prepared.

Moreover, it was very difficult to transport grain from the Central Plains to Shuofang in northern Xinjiang. There was no time to transfer enough grain and grass to hoard in Shuofang, and only two or three months of grain and grass for an army of 70,000 were prepared.

After two months, Shuofang's 70,000 soldiers and civilians are almost running out of food, and they can barely hold on for another half a month.

He was even prepared to lead 50,000 light cavalry to abandon Shuofang City once the food ran out, quickly break through the siege, and retreat to Luliang and Taiyuan.

Fortunately, at this critical time, the major news that Xiao Duhou had broken the rebels of the Ten Roads Princes came out, which made the Great Chu Dynasty excited the whole country.

Seeing that the Xiongnu had nothing to take advantage of, the Xiongnu had no choice but to retreat.

This gave Shuo Fang a breather.

Otherwise, if the siege continues, Shuo Fang will definitely be in an extremely dangerous situation.

However, Li Rong was still worried that the Xiongnu army would make a comeback, so he took the generals down the city tower and asked the deputy general: "When will the grain and grass from Taiyuan be sent to Shuofang?" ”

"My lord, there is a great famine in the Taiyuan area, and the county guard is busy relieving the people, and there is almost no food and grass available, so it is all up to the imperial court for relief.

The Central Plains area was destroyed by the princes of the Ten Roads, and in order to hoard grain and grass, they looted all the grain in the county seats, and all parts of the country were in a hurry. I am afraid that the supply of food and grass will still be very difficult!

In order to alleviate the disaster, I am afraid that it will take another month after the autumn grain is ripe and harvested. ... I'm afraid it won't be available in the short term. ”

The adjutant general said hurriedly.

"Can't wait that long. The Hun army has retreated, and we evacuated overnight! ~ Shuofang's 70,000 soldiers and civilians cannot stay here. ”

Li Rong couldn't help frowning, ruthless, and said decisively.

The internal worries of the imperial court were resolved.

However, Shuofang is still seriously short of food.

In case the news of the lack of food in Shuofang City leaked out, it was learned by the Xiongnu. The military minister Shan Yu's brain suddenly became hot, and he wanted to besiege Shuofang for another half a month. The 70,000 soldiers and civilians of Shuofang can only fight the trapped beasts and escape from Shuofang City.

Once the Xiongnu chase and kill, I am afraid that the 70,000 troops will be annihilated.

He couldn't take that risk.

"My lord, where are we going?"

"Let's evacuate people to Taiyuan first, at least Taiyuan still has some stocks of military rations. This would also reduce some of the cost of transporting food.

The civil strife in the Central Plains has subsided, and even if the Xiongnu occupy Shuofang City, they will not dare to go south easily. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry needed too much forage, and they still had to go back to the steppe to graze. Wait until we have enough food and grass to kill them back. ”

Night.

Taiwei Li Rong, led 70,000 soldiers and civilians in Shuofang City, hurriedly evacuated Shuofang City, held torches, and headed to Taiyuan. They were ready to run away at any time, and naturally they didn't need to pack any more expensive bags.

...

on the savannah.

500,000 Hun tribal cavalry, carrying huge baggage, were marching slowly.

It had been three days since they left Shuofang City.

Xiongnu military minister Shan Yu led 500,000 Xiongnu cavalry to besiege Shuofang City for two months.

After learning the news of the destruction of the 500,000 troops of the Wujiang Camp Shilu Princes, the Xiongnu king and the Xiongnu generals were shocked, and finally gave up the illusion of capturing Shuofang City and were forced to evacuate.

Two months were wasted in Shuofang City, but nothing was found, and the leaders of the various tribes were full of complaints and extremely dissatisfied.

The military minister Shan Yu took 500,000 Hun cavalry, turned back three times in one step, reluctantly withdrew his troops, and retreated to the Jiluo Mountain grassland.

Prince Yizhi followed behind the military minister, hanging his head, extremely depressed.

In order to attack Shuofang, he took a fortified fortress that invaded the Central Plains in the south. He planned in Jinling City for many years, made a wide alliance with the princes, and finally looked forward to the day when the princes rebelled and besieged the Great Chu court.

What a great benefit this is for the Huns!

Great Chu fell into civil strife, and more than ten princes cavalry cut the Central Plains territory of Great Chu into dozens of pieces, and the powerful Great Chu Dynasty fell apart in an instant.

Once the rebellion is successful.

After the Xiongnu went south to plunder, it was like entering a no-man's land.

Seeing this wonderful prospect, Yi Zhi immediately returned to the grassland, and encouraged his eldest brother, the military minister Shan Yu, to immediately take the 500,000 troops gathered by the Xiongnu tribes to the south, and the troops came to the city of Shuofang.

Prepare to take this extremely critical border city as a base area.

Break through the gates of the Great Chu Dynasty and give the Xiongnu a stable way back.

This can not only add fuel to the chaos of the Great Chu Dynasty, but also add fuel to the fire and add chaos to the chaos.

It can also contain the most elite 300,000 border cavalry hoarded by the Great Chu Dynasty on the long border line, so that they cannot go back to quell the rebellion. Give the rebels of the Ten Roads Princes a greater opportunity.

Pity!

This dream, a few days ago, was completely shattered!

In just one month, the 250,000 army of the rebel army of the princes in the south of the Yangtze River, the king of Wu, Xiang Bi, was the first to be destroyed, and was attacked by the Marquis of Xiaoduan and the emperor in Danyang City, and quickly collapsed.

And just one month later, Xiao Duhou led more than 100,000 imperial court troops, forcibly crossed the river, and defeated the 500,000 army of the ten princes of the Wujiang camp in one fell swoop.

The world is shocked!

Xiao Duhou was quickly promoted to the new generation of war gods of Great Chu, and no rebels dared to plunder his edge.

The small countries such as Wuheng, Xianbei, Minyue, and Dawan, who were originally about to move, waved their flags and shouted for the princes, all quickly became turtles with shrunken heads, and the tide receded, and there was no movement anymore.

Only the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Xiongnu were still in the Shuofang area, dreaming that the rebellion of the princes would severely damage the Great Chu Dynasty. Now, it is difficult to support the Great Chu Dynasty alone.

can't gnaw the hard bone of Shuofang, and there is no way to cross Shuofang and go south to the Central Plains.

Of course, they can only withdraw from the army.

The military minister was naturally extremely angry at this result.

The 500,000 Xiongnu army spent two months to surround Shuofang, and did not attack, just waiting for the princes to rebel and destroy the Great Chu Dynasty.

The result was meaningless, wasting two months of grazing time for the Xiongnu tribes and consuming a lot of grain and grass.

On the way of retreat, the tribal leaders under the big tent of the Xiongnu royal court frequently protested.

This pot needs someone to carry it.

Otherwise, the tribal leaders will accuse him of incompetence.

Just thinking of this, the military minister felt annoyed in his heart, waved his whip, pointed at the prince Yizhi, and scolded sternly, "Yizhi, didn't you say that the princes of the Ten Roads rebelled, and the Great Chu Dynasty would fall apart?"

As a result, for two months, I didn't hear a single sound from them, and they were all slaughtered.

This is what you said, on the day of the great chaos of the princes, Da Chu will die?! What have you been doing in Jinling for so many years? Don't you see that these princes are a bunch of rubbish?!

I knew that they were such a waste, why should we waste such a big price to come to Shuofang to contain the Great Chu Court. ”

Prince Yizhi was scolded for a dog's blood spray, his heart was miserable, and he said: "Brother Wang... This, I didn't expect their group of princes to be so unbeaten... Drinking with them on weekdays, they all brag about how powerful they are, and they don't take the Great Chu Emperor in their eyes at all, and they don't see that they can't do it! ”

The military minister Shan Yu snorted coldly: "This time, my Huns took the initiative to besiege Shuofang, contain the Great Chu border army, and create an excellent opportunity for the princes, but the result is so unbearable.

The Xiongnu and Da Chu will definitely fight each other and cut off border exchanges! When you go back, see how you explain to the tribal leaders! See for yourself! ”

If the tribal leaders protested strongly, he could only use Yizhi's tribe to vent the anger of the Xiongnu tribal leaders.

"Brother Wang, I will give an explanation to the leaders of the various departments!"

Yi Zhi pulled his head, his face full of bitterness.

They were talking.

At this time, suddenly the Hun spies hurriedly came to report, "Report, Shan Yu, Wangye!" Emperor Da Chu has died! ”

The military minister Shan Yu and Prince Yizhi, both of them were stunned for a moment, and their faces were full of astonishment.

What?

The alliance of the Ten Princes has just been defeated.

Xiang Yanran, the emperor of Great Chu, suddenly died?

What's going on?!

"The information sent by Jinling Feige, the Emperor of Great Chu set out to attack King Wu, and the old disease recurred a month later. Soon after the defeat of the coalition of princes, he fell ill and died. Fourteen-year-old prince Xiang Tiange ascended the throne and became emperor! ”

The spy said urgently.

The military minister Shan Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, and was ecstatic, "The Great Chu Emperor has collapsed, that little boy is only more than ten years old, what can he understand, he will definitely not be able to govern the country." There will definitely be civil strife within this Great Chu Dynasty again!

Quick, go back to the horse immediately, go to attack the Shuo side, and kill them one back to the horse pistol! Add to the mess on it.

After taking Shuofang, we will bypass Taiyuan and go to the rich Chang'an. ”

"Yes, Brother Wang, let's kill it back immediately!"

Prince Yizhi also reacted, and said excitedly: "Immediately send an order to all departments and kill back!" ”
