Chapter 340: Heading North
When night came, the hussar camp and the snow wolf began to camp, and the two armies were not more than twenty miles apart, which was not a distance in the endless grassland.
The armies of both sides, which had been running for almost a day and a night, finally got a chance to breathe at this time, and the tired bodies and tense nerves of the soldiers could finally be relieved. However, it can be seen from the brightly lit camps on both sides that the soldiers did not dare to enjoy this rare calm.
After the camp was set up, Qin Cheng called Liu Mu to the big tent and said to him: "Since the Xiongnu army is camped on the border, there is no plan to retreat immediately, and there must be a plan for the future. However, it seems to me that they will not act rashly if reinforcements do not arrive. The hundreds of cavalry and thousands of infantry that survived this battle will arrive later and join the army, so that you should be able to cope with even a more complicated situation, right? ”
Liu Mu frowned, slightly puzzled: "Where is the general going?" ”
"To the north of this place is Chahadi, so naturally I want to go to Chahadi." Qin Cheng said very easily, "The Wuhuan clan has gained our benefits but is against us, how can I not ask for an explanation?" ”
"Has the general figured it out?" Willow's voice was heavy.
"Nature." Qin Cheng nodded, "I'll take the pro-army team over, and I'll set off later." The army is still handed over to you for the time being, and before I come back, if there is any unexpected situation, you can deal with it flexibly, not for a big victory, but for not being defeated. ”
Liu Mu looked worried, but after all, he didn't say anything, looked at Qin Cheng, and just sighed slightly, looking very entangled.
Qin Cheng knew what Liu Mu was worried about, and he didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart: Count the days, Wei Qing has been in the desert for three days, if he doesn't do a good job on his side, Wei Qing will face the Wuhuan three tribes and the Xiongnu alone, it will be his 30,000 male soldiers, which is also a dangerous thing.
......
At that time, behind the camp of the snow wolf army, a group of cavalry rushed out of the camp, and it seemed that the number was about more than 100 people, and they disappeared into the night.
The road in the grassland is much more than the road in the upper valley, and if nothing else, just walking in a straight line can save a lot of foot strength. After a night's trek, the cavalry of more than 100 people had arrived at the Wuhuan royal court in Chahardi at dawn the next day.
Because the Han and Huns were at war, the two kings of Wuhuan and Xianbei stayed in Chahar these days in order to respond to all possible situations in time.
When they arrived at the royal court, the snow wolf cavalry stopped, and they were all very tired from the long distance, knowing that they had been jolting on their horses for a day and two nights.
But the first two cavalrymen showed an excited look on their faces at this time, and one of them said with joy: "Princess, we have finally arrived!" Once we have reinforcements from the Uhuan, we can turn back and wipe out the hussar battalion! ”
Although Yi Xue'er was not as excited as Ethan, her eyes were also very bright, and she smiled: "Don't be happy too early, it's uncertain whether Wuhuan will send troops or not." ”
Ethan cheeks were slightly raised, and said a little unconvinced: "Didn't the princess say it all, the hussar battalion has been stationed on the border of Chahadi, and it may go north at any time." After he got the benefits of the Han Dynasty, he allied with us, and the Han army would definitely come to teach them a lesson. King Wuhuan is not a stupid person, and when he thinks of this, he will definitely agree to send troops. ”
Yi Xue'er laughed dumbly, and said helplessly: "I really don't know what you have in your head, I hope you understand it, you can't understand it, I don't hope you understand, but you understand." ”
"Hey, hey!" Ethan laughed smugly twice, and then lowered his voice and said playfully: "Actually, I didn't understand at all, I just memorized the princess's words!" ”
"......" Icher .
While talking, a Wuhuan official came to meet Yi Xue'er and others, and after the two saluted, the Wuhuan official said: "My king is still sleeping, princess, please go with me to rest for a while, and then meet after my king finishes grooming." ”
"It's fine."
Echel led Ethan's guards and the Wuhuan officials to a large tent, and on the way, suddenly heard a particularly throbbing neighing sound not far away, followed by a strong horse running out from behind a tent, as if frightened by something. When Icher turned her head to look, she happened to see a sergeant rushing out of the tent, with a vigorous figure, jumping on the horse in three or two steps, subduing it, and then quickly pulling the horse and disappearing behind the tent.
Seeing this scene, Yi Xue'er couldn't move her steps anymore, and the Wuhuan officials on the side were also flustered and embarrassed.
It's just because the sergeant who rushed out of the tent was wearing the standard battle uniform of the Han army!
Yi Xue'er looked at the Wuhuan officials on the side, her face was gloomy, and she said coldly: "You don't want to tell this princess that you Wuhuan people like to wear the robes of the Han army when they have nothing to do, right?" After that, he scolded sharply: "Where is the Han army?" Take this princess with you! ”
......
The red-robed Han Army sergeant that Yi Xue'er saw was a member of Qin Cheng's pro-soldier team. Qin Cheng ran wildly with his own army, and finally arrived at the Wuhuan royal court before Yi Xue'er, and met the Wuhuan king Cha Mu Tso.
Qin Cheng only brought more than 20 people to appear in the Wuhuan royal court, so naturally he would not be cut down by Cha Mu Cuo, unless he wanted to use the heads of the whole clan to meet the long knives of the 100,000 angry Han army, and the most fundamental principle of diplomacy was to benefit the fisherman or preserve the country. Therefore, in fact, after Qin Cheng explained his intentions, King Wuhuan met him in person quite politely.
And the reason why some of Qin Cheng's personal soldiers stayed in the tent was that after Wuhuan got the news of Yi Xue's arrival, he asked them to avoid one or two for the time being, after all, Wuhuan is now an alliance with the Xiongnu, and it is not good for Yi Xueer and Qin Cheng to bump into each other head-on here. The soldiers didn't care about this, so they didn't say much. Because Qin Cheng had already said before, come gently, go gently after achieving the goal, and leave no clouds, so that Yi Xue'er is deflated and I don't know why, and it is also conducive to the future actions of the Han army, which is the best situation.
However, people are not as good as heaven, and Yi Xueer finally discovered Qin City.
The situation is starting to get interesting.
......
Time went back half an hour, Wuhuan King Tent.
Wuhuan King Cha Mu Co woke up from his sleep, and soon came to meet Qin Cheng, after the two of them greeted each other, Cha Mu Co had a polite greeting, Qin Cheng was worried that Yi Xue'er would definitely come to the rescue later, because if Yi Xue'er wanted to defeat the hussar camp, it would be impossible with their existing remnants, and the battlefield situation was changing rapidly, and she only had time to go to the nearest Wuhuan to ask for rescue. Therefore, Qin Cheng didn't have time to talk to Cha Mu wrongly, so he got straight to the point and said: "King Wuhuan, this general came this time to inquire about something. ”
"General Qin, please speak." Chamu is wrong.
"I don't know if King Wuhuan knows that this time the 50,000 Xiongnu army entered our Han territory, and only three or five days after our Han army attacked, most of them were injured and retreated to the grassland in embarrassment?" Qin Cheng asked.
"This, this king naturally knows." Cha Mu Co said a little unnaturally, this news had already been told by the people below before he woke up and saw Qin Cheng.
"Does the Wuhuan King know that General Wei led my Han 50,000 iron cavalry to invade the territory of the Xiongnu and won consecutive battles?" Qin Cheng asked again.
After Wei Qing entered the desert, he won a few battles, this was Wei Qing who sent people to pass through Qin Cheng, and the two fought together this time, so they naturally had to communicate more. But to say that the winning streak is an exaggeration, and as for the 50,000 army, it is even more bragging. However, this kind of exaggeration is within the allowable range, and Qin Cheng naturally wants to pull the tiger skin as a banner.
"This, this king naturally knows it." Cha Mucuo's voice was a little quieter, and he was still a little puzzled, he didn't know what Qin Cheng was telling him to do.
"Does the Wuhuan King know that my Han has a total army of 500,000 troops, and he is preparing to march north into the desert?" When he said this, Qin Cheng's tone was a little sharper, and he looked directly at Cha Mucuo.
"Huh? Is this really the case? Cha Mu Tso said in astonishment.
"If it weren't for the suddenness of this battle, it would only take another half a load for King Wuhuan to see the magnificent scene of 500,000 Han troops crisscrossing the grassland." The old god of Qincheng is in the Dao, and that appearance is a little more real than the real thing.
"This ......," Cha Mu Tso reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"King Wuhuan, there will be a question, I wonder if King Wuhuan can answer it on his behalf?" Qin Cheng asked.
"General Qin, please general."
"Judging from the situation that the Han army has repeatedly won more against the Xiongnu in recent years, where does King Wuhuan think my Han army's 500,000 troops can fight?" Qin Cheng said very seriously.
"This ...... This king doesn't know that the Great Han is the ...... of the Celestial Empire."
"King Wuhuan, there is still a question for Ben, and it can't be answered if it is not King Wuhuan."
"General Qin, please say ......"
"Dahan sent you a huge piece of fertile grassland, and he didn't ask for a report from a sheep or a horse, let alone your subordinates to fight on his behalf, and also ensured that this grassland would not be lost. Why did your ministry form an alliance with the Xiongnu and strike a counterattack against the Han Dynasty? Qin Cheng said with a solemn face.
"This ......"
Without waiting for Cha Mu to answer or explain, Qin Cheng immediately asked, "Could it be that Wuhuan doesn't like to be given a pasture, but likes to be given a sword soldier?" "It means that Lao Tzu gives you carrots, and you don't know how to lift them, do you want a stick?
"General Qin has misunderstood this king!" Cha Mu felt that if he didn't speak, he would be asked by Qin Cheng to die here, so he resolutely whimpered: "It's really the Xiongnu who are persecuted tightly, and this king has to be falsely wronged!" General Qin, this time the Huns sent troops, and this king never used a single soldier, right? ”
Qin Cheng smiled disapprovingly, "I know that King Wuhuan has a hard time, so this general came alone, instead of leading the army north." Ben Jiang came this time, he still made friends with King Wuhuan, not to declare war. ”
Cha Mu Coo's dry smile said: "The Han Dynasty is really a state that understands righteousness, General Qin is as wise as this, and this king is inexhaustible. ”
