50,000 Great Chu infantry chariots and cavalry marched all the way north on the prairie.

The Xiongnu military ministers Shan Yu and the Hun generals could not figure out the intentions of the little dusk marquis, and they were jealous for a while, but they led the 300,000 Huns army to follow far behind, and did not send troops to attack. In addition, there were 200,000 Hun cavalry, who stayed behind to guard the Xiongnu headquarters.

After all, this new army of Great Chu is not a soft persimmon.

In the past, there were 500,000 princes and the coalition army was defeated, and recently there was a fiasco of 50,000 Hun light cavalry of the Hun Evil King and the Hugh Tu King, which made the Huns very sober and vigilant, and how strong the new army of the little Duan Hou was.

If they are not sure enough, they will not take it lightly.

If their 300,000 Xiongnu army wants to gnaw this hard bone, I am afraid that they will not pay a huge price of 100,000 casualties, and there is no hope of defeating the new army.

For the sake of prudence, of course, the Huns had to understand the intentions of Xiao Duhou's trip before they dared to make a move.

Without any hindrance, the new army of Great Chu did not care about the Hun army that followed behind the buttocks, and directly passed through the Guyan Mountain in the northern part of the prairie, and walked further north for ten days, reaching the depths of the prairie.

Although the soldiers of Chu were puzzled about the destination of this trip.

But how to fight with the Huns, where to fight, this is the decision of the hussar general Xiao Duhou, this is also the highest military secret of Great Chu, and they naturally did not dare to ask more.

Finally, in front of the eyes of this Great Chu army, a vast sea appeared... At least thousands of miles away, with no edge in sight.

This sea is surrounded by mountains and abundant water and plants. There is a water mirror lying flat on the prairie, and it looks like a dream.

"Wow, that's beautiful!"

"What kind of sea is this?"

Zuer exclaimed, and galloped up on the seashore on horseback.

When the Da Chu soldiers came to the seaside, they were all stunned.

They didn't expect that while walking on the prairie, they suddenly encountered such a big sea.

Unlike the South China Sea and the East China Sea, this sea is fresh water, so you can drink it directly.

Tens of thousands of troops stopped at the seashore and drank horses from the North Sea.

"This is it, the scenery is good, and there is a water source, which is suitable for camping.

The whole army dismounted and set up camp by the sea. Our army rested here for a few days. ”

Chu Tianxiu smiled, got off the horse, and reached out to hold Li Yu's jade hand.

"Could this be the northernmost part of the prairie, the legendary North Sea?"

Li Yu was confused and jumped off the horse.

She knew something, it was said that in the extreme depths of the steppe occupied by the Huns, there was an incomparably vast sea.

It's just that this is the forbidden land of the Huns, inaccessible, and the people of Dachu have never come here, but they have just heard about it.

Unexpectedly, there is really a dream-like sky sea.

Li Yu followed Chu Tianxiu to the beach.

"This sea is called Beihai, thousands of miles wide, rare in the world.

Further north, there is the reckless jungle, which is a desolate and bitter cold place, with little pasture, and to the north there is a larger Arctic Ocean, which does not grow anything, and the Huns do not want to come here. ”

Chu Tianxiu said with a smile.

He blinked his eyes and said, "Madam, on the day of the engagement, you gave me a Ma'anshan as an engagement, and I will give this Beihai as a gift today!" We are on the shore of the North Sea and have a grand wedding. ”

"We're having a big wedding here?"

Li Yu was stunned, and the whole person was stunned in surprise.

The sudden joy made her at a loss for a while, and her face turned crimson, "It's just, this~, this is the territory of the Huns!" Is it appropriate? ”

"Soon it won't be! From now on, this northern sea will change owners, and you will be the master of this sea. ”

Chu Tianxiu turned around and shouted at Li Dannian: "Dare Nian, Benhou's letter of land cession is sent to Xiongnu Shan Yu!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Kangnian nodded immediately, respectfully accepted the letter with both hands, and his face was full of light.

"Uncle and county lord, they want to get married in this Beihai!"

"Great, then we're going to have a wedding here!"

Di'er and Zu'er were overjoyed when they heard this. They have been looking forward to this day for a long time.

The 50,000 new troops of Dachu surrounded the periphery with thousands of infantry chariots in a place with excellent scenery near Beihai, which was used as a temporary camp wall and set up camp.

It's the autumnal equinox, and it's chilly by the sea. Snow falls in this Beihai area until the end of October and the beginning of winter. There is still more than a month to go, and they are not in a hurry to leave.

...

The army of 300,000 Huns stopped one or twenty miles away, and the military ministers Shan Yu, Prince Yizhi and all the Hun kings rode horses and watched from afar.

This is the North Sea, also known as the Hanhai Sea.

They don't come here very often.

The scenery here is beautiful, but the Huns want to eat meat and drink milk, and horses want to eat grass!

There is too little grass here, and the winters are too long for long-term grazing. I can't afford to keep a huge tribe of millions, tens of millions of horses and sheep.

"The army is encamped!"

When the military minister Shan Yu saw that the Chu army was camping on the seaside, he also shouted.

I couldn't understand the purpose of the little dusk, and I was a little depressed.

He wants to see what kind of fame the little dusk marquis wants to do when he comes to this Beihai seaside.

...

But see.

"Huns, listen!"

"My Great Chu Hussar General has a letter, give you Shan Yu!"

In the camp of the Chu army, Li Kangnian rode his horse towards the Xiongnu camp, shot an arrow with a bow hundreds of steps away, flew out a sharp arrow, and then turned around and returned.

Sou!

This flying arrow fell near the Hun camp.

Immediately, a Hun soldier rushed over to pick up the arrows, flew to report to the Hun tent, and gave the military ministers a single look, "report——! The Chu army sent someone to send a letter from Xiao Duhou! ”

The military minister opened the letter and looked at it.

But I saw that it was written.

"Military Minister Shan Yujian:

Ben Hou and the county lord of Danyang have a covenant of mountain alliance and sea oath, and tonight will hold a grand wedding in Beihai that has no one before or since.

The scenery of this North Sea is excellent, and Ben Hou wants to use this sea to send the Lord of Danyang as a gift.

Please ask the military ministers to cede Beihai, and thank the Marquis of Xiaodu!

If you don't follow, Benhou will take it yourself!

Tonight, I invite the Huns Shan Yu and all the Hun princes and generals to carry the cession letter and watch the grand wedding ceremony of Benhou together!

Xiao Dusk Hou Chu Tianxiu respectfully. ”

The military minister read the letter and vomited blood angrily.

Although the North Sea is bitterly cold and desolate, it is also the old territory of the Xiongnu.

And it is also the rear of the prairie, how can it be ceded to the little marquis and become the private property of the little marquis?!

It's nothing short of humiliating.

If this can be ceded, what kind of face does he, a military minister, have to stand on the Hun tribe and the northern steppe? !

"Little Dusk Hou, An dares to bully Ben Khan like this! If you want to get married, you will get married, come to my Xiongnu territory, and open your mouth to cede a Beihai as a big wedding gift?

Isn't he going to be King Ping's son-in-law? Ben Shan Yu also has a daughter, so why don't you come to be my son-in-law of Shan Yu! Ben Shan Yu gave Beihai to him.

Come, march on!

Capture the little dusk marquis alive and seal the head of ten thousand households! ”

The military minister was angry, and he shot the case, and shouted angrily.

The Hun princes and generals were stunned when they heard this, and they rushed to circulate this letter, and they were shocked after reading it.

Xiao Duhou took 50,000 Chu troops through the prairie and traveled thousands of miles to come here, just to take this Beihai as a bride price?

Yi Zhi hurriedly grabbed the angry military minister Shan Yu, and hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Wang, don't be angry, Xiao Duhou is a method of agitation!" Deliberately lead us to attack.

It was already dark, and it was difficult to fight after nightfall. The Chu army used chariots as a camp, which was extremely strong, and leaned against the water's edge, and did not show any flaws!

It can be seen that Xiao Duhou has premeditated.

Attacking rashly, I am afraid that I will invite defeat.

We also need to carefully plan the appropriate countermeasures, and we must not take the plunge! ”

Yi Zhi was carefully watching this new army of Great Chu all the way.

Although there was no fighting.

He still found it tricky.

This Chu army has a large number of infantry chariots, all of which are covered with iron sheets, and their defense is extremely strong, and they are not afraid of the impact of light cavalry at all.

There must be food in the car, and there is no fear of being surrounded. Camp on the shore of the North Sea, there is a water source, and there is no fear of water cuts.

The actions of the Chu army seemed to be very casual, and even the defensive military formation was set up during the march, but it did not show the slightest flaw in being attacked.

In this case, a rash attack would be tantamount to letting the Huns die.

"Yes, Shan Yu, and calm the anger! This is a plan to motivate generals, and it often appears in Xiao Duhou's military book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"! ”

"This little dusk marquis is extremely arrogant, and he actually wants to cede Beihai. Then we must win the battle first, otherwise it will be empty and unfounded, and it will be all a bunch of vain! ”

"It's useless to brag about yourself! Let's talk about how to fight him! Let Xiao Duhou see how powerful my Hun army is! ”

"Yes, let's discuss how to fight!"

The Hun kings also persuaded one after another.

Under the persuasion of the Xiongnu princes, the angry military minister Shan Yu finally gave up his plan to attack immediately.

Let's think about how to do it first, and then it's not too late to start a war.

...

The anger in the Hun camp subsided for the time being. The military minister Shan Yu and the Hun princes stayed up all night to discuss the tactics of breaking the Great Chu army.

However, the Chu army camp did not care about the Hun army at all, and was busy celebrating the marriage of the Hou Ye and the county lord, which was very lively.

Chu Jun held an open-air wedding by the North Sea, and Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu worshiped heaven and earth and held a big wedding.

50,000 Chu troops were in the barracks, celebrating the wedding of the Marquis of Xiaoduan and the lord of Danyang, all of them were festive and jubilant, full of wine and meat, and it was very lively.

It's nightfall.

It was also a series of brilliant fireworks, rising from the Dachu camp, one after another, illuminating the night of the entire Beihai to celebrate this grand wedding.

Even hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops were in the distance, looking at the fireworks in the sky in shock, shocked and unbelievable.

The original fireworks festival on the banks of the Qinhuai River reappeared on the shore of the North Sea.

The Xiongnu have never seen such a grand scene.

They had never seen the light of fireworks shining in this night, in addition to the stars and birds.

Some ignorant Hun soldiers, even thinking that it was the shaman god shining, knelt down one after another, kowtowed to the heavens and the earth, chanted words in their mouths, and begged for the shaman's blessing.

It's just that... This shaman god seems to be shining in the sky above the Chu army.

Could it be to protect the Chu army?

For a time, the Hun army was panicked and panicked.

Not to mention those ordinary Huns, even the Hun princes and generals, they have never seen such magical things as fireworks, and when they saw this brilliant light in the sky, their faces changed in shock, and they were inexplicably shocked.

But fortunately, there are finally well-informed among the Huns.

Prince Yizhi has been in Jinling City for many years, and has seen fireworks and gunpowder, so he probably knows that there is such a thing, and he explained it bitterly, which made the Hun princes feel at ease.

It's just that those Hun soldiers have hundreds of thousands of horses, but it is difficult to understand, and people are still panicked.
