Section 957 A thunderbolt on a sunny day
At noon on April 12 in the summer of the second year of Yanhe.
Zhang Yue finally saw the famous Gong Lu Shui.
The rushing river winds out of a huge bay in the southeast of the cliffs.
The boiling river flows all the way to the east, and finally flows into the distant Heilongjiang River.
On both sides of the riverbank, fragrant grass and countless wildflowers bloom up and down the river valley, and the abundant water vapor makes the valley area still full of green, becoming an oasis in the sea for thousands of miles.
Countless butterflies, birds and insects are attracted here.
Zhang Yue rode his horse and walked along the riverbank to get a feel for the general situation of this place.
I have to say that this bow is indeed a big river!
At its widest point, the river is nearly 20 zhang, as deep as a lake.
Moreover, the river is turbulent and choppy.
Fortunately, at the bay, it is relatively narrow and the current is relatively gentle, which is suitable for building pontoon bridges.
After arriving, the infantry of the Flying Fox Army's tunnel battalion who came with the army immediately began logging and bridge-building operations.
In pre-AD China, pontoon bridges were made, mainly with boats.
Dozens or even hundreds of wooden boats connected together are used to form the main body of the pontoon bridge, and then on the fixed wooden boats, wooden planks are laid and tied together with ropes to form a pontoon bridge that can be used for people and horses to pass.
This thing seems simple to say.
But in reality, it is extremely difficult.
Even a professional tunnel camp spends a lot of time exploring and testing.
Then, send someone to row a wooden boat, reach the opposite bank, and pull up a rope that serves as a connection.
In the process, the remains of the pontoon bridge built by the Huns when they crossed the river and some piers that were not burned were discovered.
This has greatly accelerated the progress of the entire pontoon work.
After two days of intense construction and laying, hundreds of soldiers of the Flying Fox Army successfully built eight pontoon bridges on both sides of the Gonglu River that could be used for heavy carriages.
As a result, the main force of the Han army passed through these pontoon bridges in an orderly manner.
For a time, on the Gonglu River, dense flow of people, horses, and vehicles converged into a torrent.
After a lapse of twenty-seven years, after the champion Hou Hussar General Huo Qu was sick and helped Gong Lushui, another army with the black dragon banner crossed the mother river of the Huns and set foot on the river valley land of Hebei.
What was presented to the Han army was a world of deserts, river valleys, yellow sand and the Gobi.
This day is the fourteenth day of the fourth month of the summer of the second year of Han Yan and the second year (Yiwei).
……………………………………
When the Han army crossed the bow and Lushui.
Luntai City, an important town in the Western Regions, thousands of miles away, also ushered in the first new cavalry in several years.
The Dunhuang Captain's Department, which was originally stationed in Dunhuang, had 1,500 cavalry, escorting more than 5,000 people, and transported more than 100,000 stones of grain and grass to this place.
In this way, plus the wheat beans obtained in Luntai Tuntian last year.
This fortress now has more than half a million stone of military rations.
Enough to support an army of 30,000 for a month!
And such a large-scale military food delivery act was immediately like a huge meteorite, smashing into the already boiling situation in the Western Regions, causing countless chain reactions.
Countless pieces of intelligence and information flew like a splash to Shan Yuting, which was set up at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
"Shan Yu! The Dunhuang Han Army has transported grain to Luntai! ”
"Yu Da Shan Yu: King Gumo reported that three days ago, he found the royal court Daxu who had returned to Wusun Kun Mo Weng and left Chigu!"
"Yu Da Dan Yu: There is a business travel report, the Han sent envoys, entered the capital of the Dawan king, and sent the Dawan soldiers with the Son of Heaven!"
"Da Dan Yu: The main force of King Loulan's chariot division commander left the capital of Loulan King yesterday, and his whereabouts are unknown!"
One news after another, like a thunderbolt from the sky, destroyed the original good mood of Fox Lugu all at once.
Originally, he was very happy.
Seven days earlier, Li Ling led his army to attack Shache, and then surrounded Qiuzi, and within three days, the road to Weisu, Weili, and Yanxu was opened for him.
So that his main force finally got an opportunity to completely eliminate the sages and separatist groups once and for all.
However, it was also since then that the bad news has been coming one after another.
First, the scouts reported that the sages had shrunk their main forces to the northwest and abandoned most of the important places in the entire northern Tien Shan Mountains.
At that time, Hulugu thought that the ancestors were just repeating their old tricks, and they didn't dare to really do such things.
Who knows, the sages are really here this time!
He really completely gave up the northern part of Luntai, and let go of the entire Tianshan Mountains, the northern and southern provinces of the Western Regions, to the Han army.
This made him have to rush to immediately transfer the strength of 30,000 cavalry, take over and control the strategic points in the area, and lock the northbound road of the Luntai Han army.
Finally, the wheel was resealed.
As a result, I heard the bad news that the Han army was mobilizing food for Luntai!
The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first!
The Han army mobilized grain to Luntai on a large scale, and its intention was already clear!
Not to mention, the main force of the Han army in Juyan is also ready to move.
And Wusun, Dawan, and Loulan all had abnormal movements of the army.
In particular, the royal court of Wusun Kun Moweng's return to the country, leaving his old nest Chigu and approaching the border, was particularly deadly!
This made Fox Lugu feel as if overnight, the whole world was making enemies of him.
"Li Guangli really wants to hunt with me again in the Tianshan Mountains? Or is it that bastard who wants to work with the sages to oppose Ben Danyu? Hulugu bit his lip, now he had to think, in case the Han army suddenly attacked from Luntai, Juyan, and Loulan when his main force attacked Xianxian, and pointed directly at Tianshan, how should he deal with the situation?
I have to consider the possibility of the Wusun cavalry, if they join the battlefield, to help the ancestors!
"Da Dan Yu, King Jiankun is in a hurry!" While he was thinking, another messenger held a parchment letter and sent it to Fox Lugu.
Hulu Gu took it, opened it and looked at it, and finally smiled, and said, "Sure enough, it is worthy of being the first general to value and rely on!" King Jiankun, the real Hun famous general! ”
This battle report is the good news that Li Ling has captured the three most important pastures near the country of Qiuzi.
As soon as these three pastures were lost, the cavalry of the ancestors lost the most crucial replenishment of cheese and livestock.
can only rely on small countries such as Weisu, Yanxu, and Wei Li to supplement.
Obviously, these three small countries can't afford the consumption of tens of thousands of cavalry that the sages feared!
This made Fox Lugu very excited!
"It will take at least half a month for the Han army to complete full mobilization and organization!" Hulugu stood in front of a map drawn on sheepskin, staring at the direction of Luntai, Juyan and Loulan of the Han army, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly: "As for the armies of Wusun and Dawan, it will take at least a month to complete the assembly and support ......"
"They still need to make up their minds, they need to mobilize and gather food, armor!"
"And this Dan Yu can quickly go out of the Tianshan Mountain, cooperate with King Jiankun within a few days, and solve the sage's worries!"
At this point, Hulugu has enough confidence.
He believed that as long as he was alone in the dragon banner, he appeared in front of the cavalry of the ancestors.
Then, those soldiers who are loyal to Shan Yu and loyal to the Twin Clan will know how to choose.
And the nobles of the four major clans, as well as the twin clans and other tribes, naturally understood the fact that the sages were finished.
And the monarchs and ministers of the servant states such as Weisu, Weili, and Yanlu will definitely vote with their feet.
In this way, the army that the sages can really rely on will be reduced by half.
In the end, all he actually needed to deal with was the 30,000 cavalry, at most, of the 30,000 cavalry of the headquarters of the Rizhu King, who was loyal to the sages.
And in his hands, there are 200,000 horsemen, 150,000 elites!
Such a military advantage is enough for him to quickly solve the sage's fear!
Then, looking back, I had a good time to face the challenges of the Han army, Wusun and anyone else!
He was about to give an order to convene the royal court nobles.
A messenger hurriedly ran in, knelt down in front of him, and bowed in a weeping voice: "Da Danyu! Mobei Express! ”
The fox deer girl took the report from the messenger's hand, and after only one glance, he trembled his hands, looked at the messenger incredulously, and asked, "Is this true?" ”
"Returning to the big order! It's true! ”
Hulu Gu only felt a mouthful of hot blood, surging from her heart and straight to her head.
Among the seven orifices, there was even more buzzing.
In my mind, countless things kept flashing.
He thought of the efforts of his father and ancestors for three generations, and also thought of his hard work over the years in order to completely flatten the Xianxian group, and even more thought of his efforts since last spring and until now in order to gather troops and eliminate the Xianxian group.
Countless commitments, countless resources.
It also caught up with the wealth and livestock accumulated by the country for several years.
However, all of this is just a void!
All his efforts, all his efforts, all his sweat, are like a joke!
Wow!
Fox Lugu spurted out a mouthful of blood suddenly, and staggered forward a few steps, and the attendants around him saw this, immediately stepped forward, supported him, and said, "Da Danyu!" Big order! ”
Hulugu looked at her cronies left and right, wiped the blood on her mouth, laughed, looked up at the dragon flag fluttering above Shan Yuting, and smiled in the official language of the Han people: "Youyou sky, why is it thinner than me?!" ”
"The sky is long, why is it thinner than me?!"
Then he fainted.
When the fox deer girl woke up again, it was already evening.
His sons, and his brothers, and his wife, were all around him.
Everyone looked at him with worry and apprehension.
Everyone's heart is full of fear!
Because, if Hulugu died here unexpectedly, then he is very likely to be the same as Erdan, who died violently in Luntai Fortress back then, and immediately put the Huns on the brink of civil war!
Fortunately, he finally woke up.
"Da Dan Yu ......" The crowd immediately gathered around.
"Listen to me......" After Hulugu woke up, he was extremely sober and calm, he looked at his son Hu Yantao, and said to him: "Hu Yantao, you go to King Jiankun immediately, and let King Jiankun stop attacking!" ”
"Huh?" Hu Yanyu didn't understand.
"Execute my orders!" Fox Deer Gu glared at him and urged, "Go quickly!" ”
"Yes!" Hu Yanyu had no choice but to bow his head.
After Hu Yanyu left, Hulu Gu looked at the others and said, "You are not allowed to spread half a word about the coma!" ”
"The minions (sons) know!" Everyone kowtowed in unison, but their eyes were full of tears.
may be because of the curse, starting from Yin Zhi Xian Shan Yu, the Xiongnu Shan Yu of all dynasties were very short-lived.
In the past 30 years, the Xiongnu changed four Shan Yu.
One dies sooner than the other!
Moreover, every single change is like walking a tightrope!
And Marquis Shan Yu was able to ascend the throne smoothly, thanks to the fact that the father of the sages took the initiative to retreat for the sake of unity.
But when Fox Lugu ascended the throne, she was in constant trouble.
In the past few years, Shan Yu has been in and out of court, with swords and swords, and rivers of blood.
It also made the sages support the army and stand on their own.
If it weren't for the fact that Marquis Shan was alive, he had forced back the Han army to attack many times and maintained the face of the Xiongnu.
At this moment, the entire empire has been torn apart.
Now, what if the fox deer aunt has a ......
They can't imagine it anymore.
"I'm fine!" Hulu Gu sat up strongly, he looked at his young son, who was also his favorite son, and said, "Xulu Quanqu has not grown up yet, and Ben Danyu will not die!" ”
The Zuo Xian King, who was only thirteen years old this year, immediately knelt down in front of him in tears.
"Don't cry!" Fox Deer Gu looked at Aiko, and said to the others: "You too! ”
"Listen, this single received an urgent report from Mobei today, Ding Ling Wang Weilu was defeated in Monan, and the Hujie Department was confirmed to be annihilated, and the Guyan Wan cavalry of King Guyan and the more than 6,000 cavalry led by King Ding Ling were also all lost......"
"Now Mobei is empty, Guyan Mountain and Wolf Juxu Mountain are in danger......"
"We're no longer qualified to take risks!"
"We must withdraw our troops immediately, return to the royal court, and return to Yuwushui!"
"General Zuo!" Hulu Gu looked at her henchmen and said to him: "Tomorrow, you will personally lead the ten thousand horsemen of the Lan clan, the Xu Bu clan and the Huyan clan to retreat north from this place, go to the evil path, protect the flank of our army, and prevent it from being attacked by the Han army!" ”
"Yes!" A stocky nobleman immediately kowtows to his orders.
"Right Grand Lieutenant!" Hulugu grabbed her youngest son's hand, handed him over to the other party, and said: "Xulu Quanqu is my beloved son, and it is also the hope of the future revitalization of the Great Huns!" ”
"Please take your headquarters, escort him to the West, go to the Jiankun Kingdom, find the princess of King Jiankun, please princess, be sure to look at the face of this Danyu, if it is in case, you must protect the Void Quan Qu!"
Hulu Gu took out a bone Ming Di from her arms, put it on the hand of Xulu Quanqu, looked at him, and admonished: "My son, you remember, Mao Dun Da Dan Yu, Lao Shang Da Dan Yu, is not born invincible!" ”
"Wisdom, courage and opportunity have created the unparalleled great cause of the two big Dan Yu!"
"You have to listen to King Jiankun and Princess Jiankun!"
It was not until this moment that others understood, why did Hulugu open the pot and Yan Yan?
Only then did they really know that the situation of Hulugu was not as easy as he said.
At least, he himself is not sure that he will be able to survive.
Otherwise, why would he make such an arrangement?
