Chapter 153: Wusun's Choice

Zhang Anshi, who got the news, immediately led Zheng Ji and Chang Hui to set off.

Zhang Anshi personally led his most elite Hexi Army and walked in the forefront.

The Hexi Army is a standard Han field cavalry, with two captains and six captains, a total of 4,000 cavalry, and it is a Xuanjia army.

All the staff are wearing armor, all of them are heavily armored and heavy, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

Although now, in order to raid the baggage of the Xiongnu, the Hexi army left the armor in the Han army camp.

But they also put on well-made leather armor and picked up the ring-head knife, which was more suitable for chopping.

In addition, the biggest feature of the Han Dynasty ring head knife is that it is long - the standard length of its blade is more than three feet, plus the handle and knife ring, the length is often more than one meter, reaching one meter two, one meter three.

When used on horses, with the help of horse speed, chopping up the Huns was like mowing grass.

Now, with stirrups and saddles, it's even more powerful.

Like a hurricane, the Hexi army stabbed its target from the front, the Xiongnu defenders in the north of Weili.

The sound of horses' hooves shook the earth.

The horseshoe creates more sound and vibration than ever before, and brings more momentum.

This made the cavalry of the Han army, in the eyes of the Huns who were guarding this place, extremely terrifying and powerful.

As a result, hundreds of Huns who were ordered to guard the passage here, crying for their fathers and mothers, dropped their weapons, rode on war horses, and fled into the distance in embarrassment.

The Han army ignored them, but drove straight in, breaking into Wei Li's territory in a cross-section of the front that was forty or fifty miles wide, and then passed through like lightning.

Along the way, all those who dared to resist and hinder were crushed to pieces by this powerful cavalry force.

Immediately behind the Hexi Army were the two commanders from Juyan.

All light riding simple clothes, fast as lightning.

In just one hour, the eight thousand Han cavalry quickly passed through the narrow territory in the north of Weili and plunged directly into the northwest of the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains on its flank.

The Huns had no way to react at all, and they couldn't react.

No way, the Han cavalry, although it has been on the march for more than a month.

However, because of the fixed marching speed every day, all the horses and personnel have retained their intact physical strength and energy.

The Huns, on the other hand, have been in the midst of intense battles and campaigns since August.

Whether it is a war horse or an army, they are all exhausted.

What's more, the Han raid came suddenly, and the Huns never thought that the Han cavalry would attack from this direction - the battlefield they always thought was at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains in the territory of Weili or Qiuzi.

How did you think that the Han cavalry suddenly attacked and pointed the arrow at its weakness?

As a result, they didn't even have time to warn them, and they didn't even have time to light the wolf smoke, so they were crushed by the Han army.

Passing through this place, Zhang Anshi commanded his cavalry, only resting for a while, feeding the war horses eggs, bone meal, wheat, corn, and some cream and wheat bran concentrate.

Then move on to the march.

In one day, it was interspersed with more than 200 li (about 80 to 90 km).

In the evening of the same day, the vanguard approached the outskirts of the gorge where the Xiongnu baggage was located, and at nightfall, all the members of the Hexi Army arrived.

Immediately, take advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack!

The Xiongnu garrison was originally small, and they were caught off guard by attack, without any preparation, and could not organize effective resistance at all.

The cavalry of the Han army drew their ring-headed knives, and with the help of the high speed of the war horses, they formed dozens of attack clusters with teams as groups, smashed through the ridiculously weak shanshan railings on the periphery of the canyon, and killed them.

fo

This entry is the wolf into the flock.

The galloping war horses turned the entire canyon into powder.

The Huns, who resisted, or even just stood in the way, all became ghosts under the sword.

By dawn, the battle was over.

Zhang Anshi rode his horse and walked in the Xiongnu camp inside and outside the canyon.

Everywhere were the corpses of the fallen Huns, and a large number of captured Hun women and children knelt in the already messy camp.

However, the biggest target of this battle, the hundreds of thousands of livestock raised by the Xiongnu here, has all fallen into the hands of the Han army.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Anshi couldn't help but feel boundless heroism in his heart, and raised his whip to the left and right: "This battle is won, and Wei Li is all for me!" ”

It's a fact!

There is no constant supply of cheese and other dairy products from the hundreds of thousands of livestock hoarded here.

The army of the Huns on the side of Weili has run out of food!

If they want to bring food from the rear, they need it as soon as possible

It will take ten days!

And......

Where did the Huns go to find hundreds of thousands of livestock to replenish?

According to conservative estimates, the number of livestock in this place accounts for at least one-third of the total number of livestock in the headquarters of the ancestors!

The loss of this place, like the loss of the three rivers of the Han Dynasty, is equivalent to the loss of the most important grain base.

And after the Han army got this batch of livestock, the logistical pressure was greatly reduced!

With this batch of livestock, Zhang Anshi's army of 100,000 did not need to worry about running out of food for at least three months.

The baggage troops and young men in Hexi can be liberated.

This is the so-called "eat the enemy for one minute, be me for ten bells!" ’。

How is this called Zhang Anshi unhappy?

At this time, the military judge, who counted the results of the battle, also came to report: "General, in this battle, our army has beheaded more than 1,000 ranks, captured more than 7,000 captives, captured more than 350,000 livestock, cattle and sheep, and accumulated more than 40,000 horses, horses, pack horses, and horses, and our army has lost more than 100 deaths, which is really a great victory!" ”

When Zhang Anshi listened, his heart became even more proud, and he said confidently: "Spread my general's order: kill cattle and sheep, reward the whole army, and congratulate this victory!" ”

This battle has been successful, and in Zhang Anshi's view, the Weili War has ended.

Whether it was the Huns or Li Ling, there was only one choice, clamping their tails and withdrawing their lair from the Tianshan Pass.

Now, not only Wei Li, but even Qiuzi, and even Wei Su and Yan Lu are already his Zhang Anshi's dishes.

He eats there if he wants, and he eats there!

But......

It was far from enough for him to eat.

More than a thousand decapitations?

And most of them are just servants of the Huns, such as the Gaoche and Juyang clans.

reported to Chang'an, there was not much splash at all.

As for the land of Weili and Qiuzi, the merit of opening up the territory?

Ask the generals who invaded Korea, Ping Nanyue, and destroyed Minyue back then!

It's just a bloody place, and it's not a big achievement.

It is far inferior to the hussar general, the dragon city, the destruction of the Rouge Mountain, and the majesty of the wolf Juxu Mountain!

Therefore, Zhang Anshi knew very well that taking the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains in this battle would be regarded as a failure for him at most, making up for the loss of the Hexi Army's Luntai.

But the debts owed by the Hexi Army are not only the sin of the fall of Luntai!

Edicts, anti-decrees, house arrest, and false transmission of holy will.

Any one who takes it out, once it is confirmed, is a dead family!

And the only way to offset these crimes is to come up with a big victory that is no less than Zhang Zizhong's Battle of Mobei.

It's best to capture and kill Li Ling, the sages, and take all the land of the Western Regions!

Only such a victory can cover up all his own culpability, so that the court and the Son of Heaven cannot see or even take the initiative to wash the floor for him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Anshi turned his gaze to the west, to a more distant place.

He beckoned, called his Hexi general Chang Hui to his side, and asked, "Did the envoy sent to contact Wusun and Dawan reply to him?" ”

Chang Hui replied: "General, I haven't replied for the time being!" ”

When Zhang Anshi heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still said: "Explore and report again!" ”

"No!"

Looking at Chang Hui's distant back, Zhang Anshi murmured softly: "If you can get in touch with Wusun and Dawan, the Three Kingdoms will attack the Huns......

The corners of his mouth curled slightly.

It was something he had always dreamed of!

Flanked on three sides, and the main force of the Xiongnu royal court is not there, its western part will become a piece of fat and be eaten by the Han!

I believe that the Dawan people and the Wusun people will definitely not let go of this opportunity!

Such a big piece of fat!

Who wouldn't want to nibble on it?

…………………………………………

Thousands of miles away, on the banks of the Kunlun Mountains.

Wusun Kunmoong reluctantly moved his fat body, walked to a stone staircase and sat down.

It is one of the holy places of the Wusun people.

It is also the winter residence of Kunmo.

It's a pity that since Wusun Xiankun Mo hunted arrogantly and made friends with the Han League and married the Han princess, the Huns seized this place.

It was only now that Weng Guimi finally regained this sacred place where he hunted the arrogant Kunmo.

Sitting on the stone steps, Weng Guimi laughed.

Laughing heartily.

Clear-eyed people know that the Huns didn't even defend this place, so that the Wusun soldiers could recapture it without blood.

It can be seen that its weakness and powerlessness are beyond imagination!

It is not that the Xiongnu have accumulated power for a long time, and there are many internal disputes in Wusun, I am afraid that at this moment he has led his army south, entered the anointed land of the Western Regions, and cast the foundation of the king's hegemony!

Thinking of this, Weng Guimi was a little displeased.

"Kunmo, the Xiongnu envoy Lan Yu is here...... "Wusun Xi Hou Tu Anmi came over and reported to Weng Guimi.

"Lan Yu?" Weng Guimi sneered: "Why is he here?" ”

But Weng Guimi thought about it and said, "Call him!" ”

The Lan clan has a deep relationship with Wusun, and it was the Lan clan's Xu Bujiao Sui who was ordered by Mao Dunshan Yu to teach the first king of Wusun to hunt arrogant horsemanship.

Later, on the order of the old Shangdan Yu, he set up Hunt Jiaomi as Wusun Kunmo, and assisted Hunt Jiaomi to lay the foundation of Wusun Land.

So far, among the six Huns of Wusun, there is still a Xiongnu who was born in the Lan clan and represents the Xiongnu.

For Wusun, it was impossible to avoid the influence of the Xiongnu.

Because the Xiongnu and Wusun are two vines that grow on one vine.

Up and down Wusun, there is no one who is not affected by the Huns.

Even if it is Weng Guimi, it is impossible not to show respect for the envoys of the Huns, especially the people from the Lan clan, not to mention that this Lan Yu is still the younger brother of the Huns of Wusun who is now Hou Buhe!

Even for the sake of the unity of Wusun's country, Weng Guimi had to make an appearance.

About two quarters of an hour later, a man wearing the traditional costume of the Xiongnu nobles and a round felt hat came to Weng Guimi, he bent down slightly to pay tribute to Weng Guimi, and worshipped: "After serving the great god of heaven, the left slaughter of the great Huns, the order of the king of the sun and the moon of the sun, the Hun Dadanghu Lanyu salutes you, the son of the noble white wolf, the patron of the god of crows, the great Kunmo!" ”

Weng Guimi snorted coldly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't pretend in front of me!" ”

"A few months ago, I still remember the look of the big boss!"

At the beginning, Hulugu led the army to conquer the ancestors, and in order to protect themselves, the ancestors agreed with Weng Guimi to jointly fight against the Xiongnu royal court, and after the fact, the ancestors not only returned the land occupied by the Xiongnu in the past, but also were willing to 'govern' the Western Regions with Wusun Kunmo.

As a result, the Han army smashed the wolf Juxu Mountain, and Hulugu withdrew in a panic when she heard the news.

As soon as this sage sat down, he got carried away, not only tore up the agreement with him, but also let this Lan Yu show off his might in front of Weng Guimi and Wusun Junchen, intimidating and intimidating.

even threatened: "If Kun Mo is not convinced, my lord is willing to hunt with Kun Mo in Chigu!" ”

At that time, Weng Guimi has not forgotten!

Now, this Lan Yu has changed his face again, and Weng Guimi knows with his ass that this person has come to fool him again!

Lan Yu listened, but kept smiling, and said, "Why should Kun Mo worry about the past...... The Xiongnu and Wusun are originally an alliance of brothers, a state of the same spirit, with quarrels and suspicions, but husband and wife quarrels......"

"A brotherly alliance? Husband and wife quarrels? Weng Guimi laughed and mocked: "Whose brother is busy killing when he has something?" What husband and wife quarrel and want to kill? ”

"Kun Mo misunderstood...... Lan Yu smiled: "It's just angry words, why should Kun Mo take it seriously?" ”

Weng Guimi sneered and asked, "Why did the big pawn come here today?" If you have something to say, just say it! ”

When Lan Yu heard this, he gently stroked his chest and said, "The little envoy is here for the future of Wusun......

He raised his head, looked at Weng Guimi, who was full of disdain, and said: "Now, the general of the Han Second Division, with more than 100,000 soldiers, waving the Tianshan Mountains, my lord has gathered all the strength of the Western Regions, and is fighting with it, but I heard that the Kunmo generals are going south, one takes Kunlun, the other takes Jinshan......"

Weng Guimi smiled and said, "That's right, what is the opinion of the envoy?" ”

He laughed: "Now, I have Kunlun and Jinshan, and I am about to whip south and hunt your lord with the Han army!" ”

Lan Yu listened, smiled, and asked, "Kun Mo has heard that there is a saying in the Han Dynasty called 'lips are dead and teeth are cold'?" ”

"Hehe......" Weng Guimi laughed lightly, unimpressed by Lan Yu's words.

Lan Yuzi also understood how big Wusun Kunmo's opinion was of himself and his master?

But he still said unhurriedly: "Kun Mo knows, how did the North Korean Wei clan, the Nanyue Zhao clan, and the Minyue Yushan clan die?" ”

"Kun Mo knows, the temperament of the Han people?"

"The Han people, talk about great unification, talk about the world is mixed, talk about the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister......"

"If the Han Dynasty dies to my lord, and the Western Regions are owned by the Han, how many days can Kunmo's Wusun live in peace?"

He got up, looked at Weng Guimi directly, and said: "Don't hide it from Kunmo, see it as a small envoy, once the Han destroys my lord, Wusun will be his second target!" ”
