Chapter 966 Battle of Prayer Mountain (2)

"Good news, gentlemen!" Zhang Yue put down the report in his hand and smiled: "General Xu found about 2,000 Hun cavalry in the meandering area......

Everyone listened and looked at each other, all of them were a little confused.

I don't understand, what's there to be happy about?

But Zhang Yue knows that this is the best news he has received now!

It's also the biggest opportunity at the moment!

"Since the Huns took the initiative to send cavalry, they appeared in the upper reaches of the meandering ......hills," Zhang Yue smiled: "This shows that they still have ideals and hopes......

"Hope is the best news......"

The ancestors have already been educated, and if you have no desire, you will be strong.

If the Huns really retreated to the north of Gonglushui and the area south of Yushan, stuck this choke point and did not even show their heads, then whether the Han army wanted to retake the journey of Huo Quai's illness or turn to the Yuwushui Valley, they would always face the attack and harassment of the enemy here, and they would never be at peace.

Therefore, Qiyu Mountain is an important place that must be taken before the Han army's next move!

And to take it, if you attack it, the losses will be very large.

And it doesn't always work!

Now, there is actually a Hun cavalry, appearing in the meandering area that was thought to be abandoned by the Huns?

What does this mean?

It shows that the commander of the Huns wants to make a contribution!

Although Zhang Yue didn't understand, why did he have this idea?

But......

Almost subconsciously, Zhang Yue understood that he had to be given a chance!

"Guo Rong, you immediately go and inform General Xu, don't contact the enemy of the river meander, and immediately retreat thirty miles!" Zhang Yue ordered.

Then he turned to the generals, and said, "I need to recruit a group of worms......

"Let them replace our army and go to war with the Huns......"

Everyone was dumbfounded, especially Void Yan.

His eyes widened, and his face was full of doubt: "Isn't that a sure defeat?" ”

Zhang Yue grinned: "This is exactly what I need!" ”

Only by giving people their heads can they stimulate the other party's competitive spirit, and only then can they lure the main force of the Huns on the grassland south of Qiyu Mountain to stretch their heads out.

Only when the turtle leaves the shell can it be eaten conveniently!

"Do it right away!" Zhang Yue turned his back and ordered: "Within two days, the envoy will see at least two thousand worm cavalry......"

……………………

Almost at the same time, the extravagant departure at the foot of the prayer mountain also received a report from the army he sent to the river meandering - the discovery of the Han cavalry.

Immediately, he danced with joy.

It's all about victory, power, and thrones!

He can't be blamed for that!

It's really too tempting to be on the throne of Shan Yu!

"Gather all the tribal nobles at once!" He gritted his teeth and gave an order: "Go and tell Mi Hao again, let him rush back to Longcheng immediately, go to see the Mu Yan clan, and inform the Mu Yan clan about Shan Yu's return!" ”

Mi Hao is the cousin of luxury, and he is also the left captain under the right Xian King, and he is the son of the sister of the mother and the princess, and he is deeply loved by the mother and the family, and it is the best choice to send him to Dragon City.

"Your will, great slaughter!" Immediately a nobleman turned away.

Extravagant detachment turned his hand backwards and became proud.

The current pattern of the Xiongnu is the result of decades of contradictions and conflicts in the Xiongnu Empire.

Especially the contradiction between the contemporary Shan Yu Hulu Gu and the Mu Yan clan is quite serious!

To be precise, it should be the contradiction between the twin clan of the Xiongnu royal family and the Zhuqu clan, which has always been the descendant of the Huns, is getting worse day by day!

From the time of the child, between the child and the mother, he has become more and more detached!

The tacit understanding and cooperation since the Maudun period are gone, replaced by intrigue and deceit.

Especially today's mother Yan, because of Li Ling's killing of Li Xu back then, it was very unpleasant to have a very unpleasant quarrel with the late Marquis Shan Yu and the current Hulu Gu Shan Yu!

The two are almost the same as fire and water.

Just to change, the Mu Yan clan raised out the ancestral system, lifted out the tradition, and vigorously opposed and stumbled.

Now, Hulugu is sick and forced to withdraw her troops from the Western Regions.

Can the mother have no ideas?

At this time, you will win another battle, even if it is a small victory......

Extravagant and excited are about to dance!

………………………………

Thousands of miles away, the private canal is on the shore of the sea, with brilliant flowers and herds of cattle and sheep.

After resting here for a few days, Hulugu's body finally improved.

He had just drunk the herbs sent by the trusted witch doctor, he reluctantly sat up, looked at Mu Hai, the right commander who had been guarding him, and said, "It's hard work right captain......

"That's what a minion should do!" Mu Haiyu hurriedly knelt down and said.

He was originally a slave, to be precise, after the Huns captured prisoners of war from the Western Regions.

Because he is the same age as Fox Deer Aunt, plus he is clever and sensible, so he was sent to Fox Deer Aunt as a playmate and slave.

has accompanied him all the way, and to the present, it can be said that he is the most loyal person in the court.

Hulugu even broke the tradition and appointed him as the right lieutenant of Shan Yuting, mastering half of the royal court's subordinates, and directly controlling all the warriors near Shan Yuting.

There's no way around it!

In the history of the Xiongnu, large and small rebellions and coups have been heard endlessly.

Even such absolutely powerful rulers as Mao Dun Da Shan Yu and Lao Shang Da Shan Yu have suffered numerous coups and rebellions.

In recent decades, Shan Yu has shed countless bloodsheds in court.

The military ministers Shan Yu, Er Shan Yu and Juli Lake Shan Yu are all dead and unclear.

The number of attempted coups and rebellions is unclear.

Therefore, the Xiongnu in successive dynasties have been constantly strengthening and strengthening their own security.

Up to now, Fox Lugu has completely controlled and mastered all the armed forces in the vicinity of the king's tent for five hundred steps, and has used wealth, women, and livestock to ensure their absolute loyalty!

"Dragon City, is there any news?" Fox Deer Gu asked.

"Returning to Da Danyu, the slave got the news that he had discovered the traces of the Han army's northern cavalry advancing along Gonglushui...... "Mu Hai Yu bowed his head and said: "Mu Yan has ordered the right Xian Wang Haoli to be the commander, and the commander of more than ten cavalry such as Luntou, Che Hao, and Lu Shui, stationed in Qiyu Mountain, and ordered to abandon all the pastures south of Gonglushui, evacuate all livestock, and transfer the livestock, women and children of Guyan Mountain and Wolf Juxu Mountain to Yanran Mountain and Jinshan......"

Fox Lugu listened, nodded, and finally smiled: "Mother Yan, you still have insight!" ”

"In this matter, the Mu Yan clan did the right thing!"

After the Han army broke through the Weilu Corps, there was a vacuum in Mobei's defensive forces.

Although Fox Lugu immediately made a move to withdraw his troops after hearing the news, but he withdrew Yuwushui from the Western Regions and rushed to rescue the Holy Mountain and Dragon City, even if Fox Lugu urged him hard, it would take at least a month for his vanguard to rush back!

And the main force, it will take at least forty days!

And these forty days may determine the rise and fall of life and death!

Now, the news of Dragon City has finally put him at ease.

As long as they hold the Qiyu Mountain, even if the Han people burn all the pastures and sheep basins south of Gonglushui, for the Xiongnu, it will only be a loss of face and some minor injuries, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones.

However......

After being happy, Fox Lugu suddenly thought about it, glared at him, and looked at Mu Haiyu: "Why didn't the Mu Yan clan order King Ding Ling to be the commander, but let King Youxian sit in charge?" ”

"Luxury, he has never led soldiers at all!"

"Moreover, his temperament is too impatient and utilitarian!"

"Let him command the troops...... What if it is deceived by the Han Chinese? ”

"Da Danyu, this is the meaning of the Mu Yan clan...... Mu Hai Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support the increasingly excited Hulu Gu: "You also know that the Mu Yan clan has always liked the Right Xian Wang...... When you were in the first place, you intended to set up the right virtuous king, but fortunately, the nobles of the various departments opposed it, and you were the first to be the designated left virtuous king, so you gave up......"

"Now, if the Mu Yan clan has a chance, they will naturally let the Right Sage King make meritorious contributions......"

"Meritorious?" Fox Lugu barely suppressed the mania in her heart: "I think, let's go to death!" ”

"Among the Han servants, even Wei Lu can be defeated, and Lu Liyan can be his opponent?"

"Go and invite King Jiankun right away!" Hulugu said excitedly: "Go!" ”

Mu Hai naturally understood his king's intentions, and he immediately persuaded: "The big single is in anger, and the big single is in anger!" Now, Shan Yuting can't do without King Jiankun! ”

"If King Jiankun leaves, I'm afraid that no one among the minions will be able to suppress this single ...... in court."

"At that time, I'm afraid it will be even more terrible than the fiasco of the Right Virtuous King!"

This retreat from the Tianshan Mountains almost exhausted the prestige that Hulugu had accumulated over the years.

The blow to the entire Shan Yuting is quite serious.

Pouring out of the nest, gathering 150,000 cavalry and millions of livestock, the western expedition to the sun chased the king, and the troops were stopped at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains for several months, but before the victory, the troops were suddenly withdrawn.

Not only did he withdraw his troops, but he also reached an agreement with Xian Xian to recognize and canonize the latter as King Zuoxian, so as to win over and unite the Xiongnu forces and reshape the superstructure.

This is a bolt from the blue for all the tribes that have been loyal to Fox Deer Gu!

For all the soldiers who followed Hulugu's expedition to the west, it was even more of a disaster!

What's even worse is the centrifugal detachment caused by the nobles of various ministries.

For these people, they are now in a situation of extreme embarrassment.

They followed Hulugu to the west to conquer the ancestors, one was out of loyalty and obedience, and the other was also to take advantage of this to eat something and divide up the troops, armies and territory of the ancestors.

It's good now, I've worked in vain.

The original enemy has now been transformed into the king of Zuoxian and the king of the day, and the future Xiongnu Shan Yu.

In the future, the sages are afraid of being on the throne, and these guys who have led troops to fight him today, and even spoke ill of each other and fallen into the ground, will not they soon become thorns in the side and thorns in the flesh?

These people are now not erupting, there is no movement.

It's just that it's an external attack, and I don't dare to make a fuss.

Moreover, there is also a large army led by Li Ling, the king of Jiankun, who is suppressed in the Shan Yu court.

Li Ling's elite cavalry and the main force of Shan Yuting, which he controlled and influenced, made these people jealous.

But here's the problem......

If Li Ling leaves......

The consequences are unimaginable!

Without this big man who made great achievements in the Western Expedition and impressed countless nobles.

This single court is about to turn the world upside down!

Killing kings has never been a problem for the Huns.

Change to a single Yu, and it's not a big deal!

As long as it's not a sage, anyone can!

Fox Lugu naturally understood this truth, he heard this, sighed, as if he had lost his strength, and collapsed.

Li Ling can't go, and Wei Lu is the general of the defeated army.

In the court alone, the elites of the four major clans are now unreliable.

As for the Twins......

Two younger brothers whom he trusted and admired the most.

King Yu Jing went to Beihai in the spring to find the Han envoy Su Wu to exchange music.

Guyan King Xuyan, now I'm afraid it's either a prisoner or a dead person!

The rest of the people are probably careerists who think 'he can take his place'.

Looking around, Fox Lugu sadly found that she was now unavailable!

"O gods...... Lord of the Sun and Moon......" Fox Deer Gu looked up at the dome: "Please bless your people and survive this calamity!" Just like when you blessed the great Yin Zhi and Uwei ......"

He could only turn to the gods for help now.

Pinning his hopes on the power of the gods, the Han army coming from Gonglushui was forced to withdraw due to an accident or problem.

Otherwise, he really has no confidence that he can survive this disaster!

"I knew it earlier...... This Shan Yu should have returned the Han envoy to the Han Dynasty as soon as possible......" Hulugu closed her eyes and regretted: "Or, don't let Wei Lu lead his troops south...... This disaster can also be avoided! ”

These two choices can enable him to avoid today's embarrassment and predicament.

If the Han envoy is returned, there will be no time for negotiation, and the Han Dynasty envoy will be assassinated, which will lead to the matter of the lieutenant leading the army on patrol.

If Wei Lu did not send his troops to the south to find things, he would not have lost his master Mo Nan, and Mo Bei would naturally not have a defensive vacuum.

And unfortunately, he made fatal mistakes in both of these things.

"Zhang Yi Zhang Zizhong!" Fox Lugu closed her eyes and remembered the name fiercely in her heart.

It's like his father and ancestor who memorized Wei Qinghuo's name in his heart!

He understands that in any case, now, there is a great enemy in the Huns!

An enemy that could destroy the Hun Empire!

An enemy as terrifying as Wei Huo back then!

He used a real record to prove Fox Lugu's initial guess.

"Han, why are there so many heroes?" Hulugu lamented: "After Wei Qing and Huo went to illness, there was another Zhang Zizhong ......"

"Do you want to kill me this day?"

………………………………

Two days later, with the efforts of the Xiongnu and Wuheng people, two or three thousand worms and high-chariot people who roamed the upper reaches and upper reaches of the Gonglu River were recruited.

To be honest, these nomads, who are still very weak today, cannot be called warriors, either physically or otherwise.

To describe it in one word, a rabble, it should be appropriate.

However, this is also the result that Zhang Yue wants!

If you don't let the Huns taste the sweetness, how can you lure them out?

So, Zhang Yue asked the Wuheng people to take out some of their weapons and distribute them to these people, and also looted many Huns' clothes and armor for them to use.

Then, casually organized them, and let a nobleman under Xuyan Yan, with hundreds of surrendered troops, embark on a journey to the meandering region.

At the same time, Zhang Yue ordered Sima Xuan to lead two thousand Han cavalry, which followed closely behind, about a hundred miles away from them.

And gave Sima Xuan a death order - when you encounter the Huns, you can only lose, not win!

Only retreat, not forward!
