Chapter 453 [The Huns are also short of food]

Sky Blue Tribe. The whole // this \ small // said \ net galloped from the northwest snowfield like a fly, and the galloping iron hooves splashed countless snowflakes, gradually rising with the howling north wind. The cavalry on horseback was full of exhaustion, his eyebrows showed a dead ash, the mount under his crotch was already sweating like rain, foaming at the mouth, and had not yet run close to the gate of the fortress, the horse's hooves fell down with a soft fall, and the cavalry on horseback was fiercely lifted off, and the cavalry landed and bounced twice, and then stopped moving, and the upside-down mount struggled to raise the horse's head, let out the last sad neigh, and lay down again, it was already tired, and really had no strength to stand up. "It seems to be His Majesty's personal soldier, I have seen him once, and I can't be wrong."

A small soldier pointed to the field and exclaimed. The face of the officer in charge of guarding the north gate changed, and he hurriedly ordered: "Quickly open the city gate, quickly, you, you, and a few of you, follow me to save people." ”

Several small soldiers suddenly agreed, followed the team officer and hurriedly ran down the gatehouse, less than a moment of effort, the closed city gate was also opened, the team officer led a few soldiers out of the city, from the snow to pick up the soldier who had passed out, take a closer look, sure enough, it was Zhao Kuo's personal soldiers. "Hey, wake up...... Wake up......"

Under the vigorous shaking of the team officer, the pro-soldier slowly opened his eyes and said weakly: "Quick, there is an urgent military situation......

The officer's face was anxious, and he put his ear close to the lips of the pro-soldier, and said urgently: "What did you say?" Be louder. ”

The pro-soldier was angry, and said in an inaudible voice: "Quickly send a message to General Feng Zao ......"

Saying the last word, the soldier sighed softly, his tense nerves finally relaxed, he swallowed his last breath, and the divine light in his eyes slowly dissipated.

The team officer stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the face of the soldier, and when he moved away, the soldier had closed his round eyes forever, and the team officer took a deep breath of cold air. He shouted loudly and bitterly, "Quickly take this brother and report to General Feng Zheng." ”

With a terrible roar, a soldier with a weathered face hurried inside, knelt on the ground, and said sharply, "Urgent military situation." ”

Feng Zao Huoran stood up and said coldly: "Speak." ”

"The first Xiongnu army of 8,000 is coming, and the vanguard of 2,000 cavalry has passed the boundary of the headquarters."

The soldier said loudly. "What?"

Feng Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, and said in a lost voice, "Eight thousand troops? ”

Feng Zheng's deputy said discoloredly: "It's bad, the Hun army is coming, presumably to avenge the loss of a son, the Huns are brutal and cold-blooded, and the city is full of old and young people who are afraid of being wiped out."

Feng Zhenghuan's eyes widened, and he said sharply: "Someone." ”

The pro-soldier stepped forward proudly and responded: "The villain is here." ”

"You rush to the base camp as fast as possible, change horses on the way, and ask Your Majesty for help."

The soldiers agreed, turned around and took the order. "Your Majesty."

The figure flashed, and Pomegranate had already entered the kneeling hall proudly, and said, "The last general Pomegranate will see Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Kuo said solemnly: "General Pomegranate, please get up." ”

Pomegranate said: "Your Majesty, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored, nearly 50,000 Donghu cavalry have eliminated the old, weak, sick, and disabled, and a total of 40,000 and 97 people, all of whom are capable of fighting. ”

"Well done."

Zhao Kuo said loudly, "Have the prisoners of war been counted?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the prisoners of war have also been counted, and a total of more than 49,000 people have been captured."

"The more than 10,000 captives, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, were all let go, the young and strong were imprisoned first, and all the captives were reduced to slaves and rewarded to meritorious soldiers."

Zhao Kuo said this, his eyes showed a ruthless look, and said: "As for the more than 8,000 prisoners of war, they were all killed." ”

Pomegranate hugged his fists and said: "The last general will obey." ”

Zhao Kuo nodded and said to Mao Sui, "Calculate the time, there should be news from Feng Zheng's side, right?" ”

Mao Sui said: "It should be in a day or two." ”

"It's time for me to go."

Zhao Kuo pressed his sword and stood up, his eyes were like torches, he swept over the generals in the hall, and said sharply, "Zhao Xin, Wu Liti." ”

Zhao Xin and Wu Liti came out of the crowd and said sharply: "The last will be." ”

"Each of you will lead five thousand light horsemen and go with me."

Zhao Kuo said. "Yes."

Zhao Xin and Wu Li were all excited when they saw that there was oil and water to be fished. The Huns are single in court. The increasingly aging old Shan Yu Liyu is convening the king of the left valley and the king of the right valley to discuss the matter. (Xiongnu system, single in the following has the left and right Xian Wang, by the single nephew or the children of the royal family, for the first and second heirs of the single throne, the left and right Xian Wang below the left and right Gu Li Wang, equivalent to the left and right prime minister or Wen and Wu Cheng Prime Minister, on behalf of the single in the line of state affairs, the left and right Gu Li Wang below the left and right generals, the left and right captains, the left and right big households, the left and right must be the marquis, for the eight ten thousand households, the command of the eight Huns. Last winter, a heavy snowfall froze most of the cattle and sheep and livestock of the Xiongnu tribes to death, and now the Xiongnu are facing a serious famine and humanitarian crisis.

If there is no disaster year, the Xiongnu can also be self-sufficient, but once they encounter a disaster year, the living conditions will immediately become bad, and the Xiongnu will drive troops out to plunder, and transfer the disaster to the foreign race. King Zuo Gu Li said with a sad face: "Da Danyu, the grain stocks of all tribes have been eaten, and the livestock are only left with lambs, and if you don't think about it, the people will starve." ”

Liquid Liyu said helplessly: "But what can be done now?" ”

King Zuo Gu Li said: "Why don't you go south to the land of Donghu to get food nearby." ”

King Li of the right valley said: "The big order is indispensable, now that Donghu has been destroyed by the Great Shang Dynasty, how can the Xiongnu collide with the Great Shang Dynasty, which is in full swing!" ”

King Zuo Gu Li said: "King Zuo Gu Li, you keep saying that you want your clan to overcome the immediate difficulties?" Do you want to lead the Xiongnu to the desperate situation of extinction? ”

The king of the right valley showed a fierce look in his eyes, and said to Liquid Liyu: "Da Danyu, if you don't do it, you don't stop it, it's better to send troops to rob the Great Shang Dynasty." ”

Shan Yu Liyu seemed to be intent on moving when he heard this, and said, "Go and grab it?" ”

King Zuo Guli's face changed greatly, and he urgently persuaded: "Da Dan is not possible, Touman led 50,000 troops and was still defeated by the Great Shang Dynasty, and now the Huns are weak, with only more than 300,000 people, and less than 100,000 people who control the strings. ”

King Liking of the Right Valley said: "King Liking of the Left Valley, I think you are frightened by the saber of the Great Shang Dynasty, and our Hun Erlang is not afraid of any swords." ”

King Zuo Gu Li said: "You are talking nonsense......"

Liquid Liyu frowned and said, "Okay, don't make any noise." ”

Shan Yu's voice fell, and a person who accompanied him inside reported, "Report to the big Shan Yu, there are Donghu people who ask to see." ”

"Donghu people?"

Shan Yuzheng was troubled by the lack of food, and frowned: "No, the Donghu people are now lost dogs, what are you doing when you see them." ”

He said: "But that Donghu person has to be noisy to see Da Dan." ”

"Useless things, this little thing also bothers me."

Liquid Liyu said impatiently, "Just give this order to the whip and drive it away." ”
