Chapter 266: Shadow Zhao Xin

"Then the Evil King, what should you do for us?"

Yi Zhixian also calmed down, he understood that he was unreasonable, and it was because of him that he caused such a big loss both times.

You have to be angry, or others will question him even more.

"Da Danyu, I think it's better not to attack Yuyang City first.

Looking at how much military ration is left in Yuyang City, Wei Qing and the others have been hiding in the city for four or five months. ”

"Anyway, within five months, no vehicles carrying grain entered Yuyang City."

This is still something that Yi Zhixian can confirm.

"That's okay, isn't there a new reinforcement of 100,000 Han troops in Fox Slave City, as long as these 100,000 reinforcements are not allowed to support the Han army in Yuyang City, their military rations will be eaten sooner or later."

Yi Zhi frowned.

He didn't understand this, but could he take care of all the Huns and prevent them from grazing?

He didn't have time either, and halfway through the summer, he would definitely not be able to suppress the Huns in the city.

At that time, the cattle, sheep and horses were estimated to have eaten all the grass roots around the city.

"Okay, we'll wait and see if there's another chance."

The Evil King almost couldn't help but tell the poisonous plan in his heart.

This feeling of riding on the wall is really uncomfortable to be honest.

This battle happened to be seen by Zhao Ponu, who was sent by Zhang Yuan to check the situation around Yuyang City.

Zhao Ponu kept seeing that it was dark, and when he saw the Han army in Gaijing from a distance, he understood that the situation in Yuyang City was not very bad.

At least it's much better than he and Zhang Yuan thought.

As soon as it got dark, he took the ten cavalry around him and rushed to the palace of the governor of Yaoyang.

Just after the time of his son, he returned to the palace of the governor of Yaoyang.

Zhang Yuan had already fallen asleep at this time, and Zhao Ponu woke Zhang Yuan up after thinking about it.

"Hussar General, General Zhao has returned from Yuyang City and said that he has something important to tell you."

Zhang Yuan's guards called out outside.

It took several shouts to wake Zhang Yuan up.

During the day, the smell in the city of Yang Duwei made Zhang Yuan uncomfortable, and his brain was dizzy, so he slept so deadly.

"Let General Zhao in!"

Zhang Yuan just put on a cloak and sat on the bed.

"Hussar General."

"I originally thought you would be able to come back tomorrow, have you found out the situation in Yuyang City?"

"No, as soon as the last general arrived in Yuyang City today, he saw that the Xiongnu army had launched an attack on Yuyang City.

Only then did not have the opportunity to investigate the encirclement of Yuyang City by the Xiongnu army. ”

"The Huns would attack the city?"

"The last general felt that it was the general who took the initiative to seduce the Huns to attack Yuyang City.

I saw from a distance that the gates of Yuyang City were not closed. ”

"How's the battle going?"

The last general did not know, but in the end the Xiongnu withdrew, and then the Han army of Yuyang City built a Jingguan outside the north gate of Yuyang City.

How can there be twenty or thirty thousand heads of the Huns, the last general feels that this is still the general taking the initiative to mock the Huns, forcing them to lose their minds and storm Yuyang City. ”

"There's a problem!"

"What's the problem?"

Zhang Yuan thought of going with Wei Qing and Gongsun He.

"If the Huns could attack the city, they would have attacked the city a long time ago!

When Yuyang City was in the hands of Han Anguo, how many people were there?

With less than 30,000 defenders, none of the military ministers let the Xiongnu army attack the city.

At that time, the military ministers had 200,000 troops in their hands, seven times the number of the Han army, and it was okay to surround Yuyang City.

How many Xiongnu troops were there outside Yuyang City? ”

"More than half a million."

"You will take a detour to Fox Slave City tomorrow, this number is not right."

"The last general will go overnight."

"Let's rest for the night."

"Hehe, the hussar general doesn't have to worry about the last general, the last general can sleep right away."

"It's good to be young."

When I rode a horse for a few days, I fell off my horse and fell into a coma for several days, but people were able to sleep on my horse.

It's really fucking that people are more popular than dead people.

When Zhao Ponu said this, Zhang Yuan didn't stop him.

The sooner you understand these doubts, the sooner you can have a comprehensive view of the battle situation.

Zhang Yuan's first suspicion was that the Xiongnu army was attacking the city, unless the military ministers changed their nature, how could he attack the city of the Han Dynasty.

The second is that Zhao Ponu said that the Huns had an army of 500,000, and Zhang Yuan estimated that there should be 600,000.

And before he counted 700,000, where did the 100,000 army go?

Siege dead?

Zhang Yuan's estimate of the 600,000 still counts the war dead.

The reason why he wanted Zhao Ponu to go to Fox Slave City again was to see if there was a Hun army outside Fox Slave City.

If the Huns knew that there were 100,000 troops in Hunu City, and only sent 100,000 troops to besiege the city, it would really be abnormal.

With a bunch of questions in his heart, Zhang Yuan still fell asleep.

The next day, Zhang Yuan went to stay on the wall of the Yang Governor's Mansion.

Only the air above the city walls and outside the city had the best air.

Occasionally, you can see the cavalry of the Wuhuan tribe and the cavalry of the Xiongnu tribe running on the land.

"Hussar general, they are treating Yuyang County as their own place."

Zhang Yuan looked back and found that it was Gongsun Ao who came over.

"Can't you get used to it?"

"As a big Han person, I definitely can't get used to it.

Now I want to go out of the city and kill them all. ”

"Then you can go out, and take a hundred people with you.

Anyway, the Huns knew that there were 10,000 troops in the Yangdu Governor's Mansion, and as long as we didn't send more than 1,000 people, we wouldn't attract the attention of the Huns. ”

Gongsun Ao didn't expect Zhang Yuan to agree so simply.

"Then the general is really going to lead his troops out of the city?"

"Don't rob the Huns of their grain and grass, I don't want them to send hundreds of thousands of troops to surround us first."

"The end will be clear."

In this way, Zhang Yuan summoned Gongsun Ao out, and asked him to bring a hundred cavalry.

The idea is simple, more than 100,000 people can't all stay in the city, they have to take the initiative to find something to do.

After Gongsun Ao led his troops out of the city, he immediately eliminated all the Wuhuan and Huns wandering around the Governor's Mansion of Yaoyang.

These are all feats sent to the door.

Zhang Yuan waited until the next day, when night just fell, Zhao Ponu finally returned.

"Hussar General, the situation around Fox Nu City and Yuyang City has all been clarified."

"How many Xiongnu are there?" 31

"No less than 800,000, there are 300,000 troops in Fox Slave City, and more than 500,000 in Yuyang City.

There are no obvious defensive holes, and all I can think of is four words that don't make sense. ”

That means there were 900,000 troops from the beginning.

There must be 200,000 on the side of the Hun Evil King, and Wuhuan Da Danyu is also 200,000, so the Huns have gathered 500,000 troops.

Will there be any young men among their people? ”

Zhang Yuan suddenly had a plan to surprise attack the city and kill all the Huns in the city, so that the hundreds of thousands of Huns would be extinct.

"It should be, but can we keep all of these 800,000 troops here?"

Zhao Ponu felt that Liu Che and Zhang Yuan's plans were a little unlikely to come true.

"It's still possible, but we have to wait until the Marquis of Xi comes back, if he doesn't come back, we will leave for Yuyang City in half a month."

"Okay."

Knowing that too many things are not good for himself, Zhao Ponu is very measured.

He didn't want to know what Zhao Xin had done.

From then on, it will be very quiet in Yuyang City.

Yi Zhixian no longer sent people to mock the Han army and Wei Qing under the city wall, because there was no point in it.

Wei Qing is also happy to have a quiet day.

There was also a wave of conscription in the city.

In the past, he would not have done this kind of thing, but now that the Huns are besieging the city, they just recruit soldiers to restore the number to 200,000, even if Liu Che knows about it in the future, he will not say anything.

The Han army never stopped training in the city, and occasionally sent some soldiers to sneak down from the city wall to the outside of the city at night to retrieve all the crossbow arrows and arrows that had been shot before.

Within two miles of the city wall of Yuyang City is almost a forbidden area, this distance can be used for accurate shooting with a three-bow bed crossbow, and the Huns do not dare to send people to collect these arrows even if they are besieging the city.

Wei Qing was so tidy that those Huns got up the next morning and saw that the arrows, crossbows, and arrows outside the city had disappeared, and they hated it in their hearts.

Seven days have passed.

On this day, something happened to the big tent of the Huns, and the cattle and sheep that came from the city finally arrived.

Wei Qing and Gongsun He looked at the city wall and wanted to send a large army to rob it.

The consumption of more than 800,000 troops is enough for a million cattle and sheep.

If all of them get Dahan and put it into use directly next year, Dahan's grain output can be increased by three or four percent the year after next.

If the grain output of the Han Dynasty can be increased by seventy percent on the existing basis, Wei Qing can spend his whole life with the Xiongnu in Yuyang City without dragging down the finances of the Han Dynasty.

But Zhang Yuan once calculated.

Because of the war, the number of the Han Dynasty did not increase or decrease, and it remained at a single number.

Originally, when there was time to rest a few years ago, the grain output of the Han Dynasty could increase by 10% every year, but now hundreds of thousands of troops are all in the frontier, and in addition to Yuyang County, the soldiers of other border counties also have to guard, and the grain output has not increased in the past two years.

When there was no war, it was the soldiers who were the main labor force in farming.

Now that the people of Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, Shanggu County, and Dai County have stopped farming, Wei Qing knows that by the time of autumn, this year's grain output will definitely be lower than last year's.

That's why he looked at the cattle and sheep of the Huns, and he was very moved.

In Dahan, there will still be people who eat these livestock, and if there is a cow in the family, they have to be offered as an ancestor.

"The cattle and sheep of the Huns seem to be unable to eat."

Gongsun He smiled wryly next to Wei Qing.

"The Huns don't seem to be able to finish killing, you see that at the beginning we were in Mayi, and the military ministers could only bring 200,000 troops.

Now that he has experienced so many wars, Yi Zhixian can still command an army of 900,000.

If it is placed in the Han Dynasty, His Majesty will not be able to support it and then take the initiative to make peace with the Huns. ”

Wei Qing is also convinced, he has worked hard for so many years, and there are still so many results, even if he leaves all the Huns here this time, will hundreds of thousands of Hun cavalry emerge from that place in a few decades.

"Alas, didn't Zhang Yuan say that this was the last stop.

I believe in him. ”

"I also choose to believe Brother Yuan, but what can he do to solve our predicament now?"

"We still have time, let's wait."

......

In the camp account of the Xiongnu, Zhao Xin came out of the team transporting cattle and sheep alone.

I found a Hun at random, and asked in the language of the Hun where the king of Hun Evil was located.

After Zhao Xin changed his costume, he returned to the way he used to be in the Xiongnu.

So it didn't arouse the suspicion of others at all.

The Huns may be suspicious of the Han Chinese, but they will definitely not doubt their own people.

Suspicion among the Huns existed only at the highest points of power, regardless of the ethnic group.

Only those who have power in their hands will be suspicious of others, how can an ordinary Hun go back and suspect another ordinary person?

Do you wonder if he played with his wife?

After Zhao Xin asked the answer he wanted, he walked openly outside the king tent of the Evil King.

"I want to see the Evil King."

"Can you see the Evil King too? Get out of here. ”

Zhao Xin encountered obstacles outside the king's tent.

"I also asked my brother to help me bring a message, and I said that Ahur was looking for him."

The guards outside the tent of the Evil King didn't know who Zhao Xin was, but the golden cake handed over by Zhao Xin made him hesitate for a moment, but soon the hesitation dispersed with the wind.

"You wait, I'll go and report to the king."

The guards turned around and entered the camp account, the evil king was drinking wine and eating meat, and many of the cattle and sheep transported over today were distributed to him for the 200,000 army, and he was still in a very good mood.

At the very least, if he defected to the Great Han, the Great Han would definitely not be able to come up with military rations to give him the 200,000 army.

"My lord, there is a man named Ahul outside the account who says he wants to see you."

"Ahull?"

The Evil King chewed carefully, he only felt that the name was familiar, but he didn't think of who it was for a while.

"Let him in first."

"Yes."

The Huns' Da Dan Yu and the King are not very difficult to see, and the King of Hun Evil didn't think of any other reasons, just because he was in a good mood today.

Zhao Xin walked into the king's tent and glanced at the Hun Evil King, he had met the Hun Evil King three or four times before, all at the sacrificial meeting held in Dragon City.

The two were limited to knowing each other, nothing more.

"Zhao Xin!"

The Evil King still recognized Zhao Xin after seeing him.

Only then did he think that Zhao Xin's original name was Ahu'er, and this name had not been mentioned for a long time, and he only felt that this name was familiar at first, but he didn't think about Zhao Xin.

"The Evil King hasn't seen him for many years, and he is still heroic."

"Zhang Yuan sent you to see me?"

"Yes."

"How dare you come here, if someone else finds out, you can still survive?"

"As long as the Evil King doesn't say it, who else knows I'm here?

Isn't the warlord already dead, and as long as I don't go to Yi Zhixie, no one will recognize me. ”

"What did Zhang Yuan send you here for?"

"The hussar general wants me to remind the Evil King not to forget the agreement between the Great Han and you.

In addition, the hussar general wants you to rebel against the Wuhuan clan! ”

The Evil King squinted his eyes and threw the bottle to the ground.

"It's impossible, I don't have to listen to Zhang Yuan in everything!"
