Chapter 355: Captured Mao Dun (Second Update)
As soon as Sima Xin arrived at Yinggao's hall, Yinggao knew that this guy should have a lot of good news to tell him, because although he was so tired that he was already wheezing, Sima Xin's teeth were about to leak out.
"Don't giggle, how is this battle?"
Yinggao is also itchy about what kind of effect Han Xin and Meng Tian can produce under the team, of course, he can't wait for a moment.
"Although at the beginning of this battle, I don't know why the Hun sergeants saw some clues, and there were indeed some twists and turns in the middle, but in the end, with the cooperation of General Meng Tian and General Han Xin, the Huns were captured alive by Mao Dunsheng, and the two generals were leading the army back to Xianyang at this time!"
This sentence Sima Xin said is also quite uplifting, because they fought this battle, it was really not easy, followed the Xiongnu out of the Great Wall of Daqin, it was completely a helpless move to save Meng Tian's team, and in the end, Meng Tian obviously lived up to Han Xin's move, in fact, when Han Xin and Sima Xin saw Meng Tian, the Xiongnu's Shan Yu Maodun didn't know why it fell into Meng Tian's hands.
Although the Xiongnu still had more than 100,000 cavalry, but Shan Yu was gone, and this battle naturally could not be fought again, so they fled directly in all directions, which was of course a successful ending for Han Xin and Meng Tian.
As soon as Yinggao heard the news, his eyes lit up all of a sudden. At that time, I asked about the before and after of this battle, according to Sima Xin's description, Yinggao knew that this war really could not be fought completely according to his previous preparations, and the changes in it were really unexpected, which also let Yinggao know how important a good general is.
Not to mention that Ying Gao didn't know what kind of method Meng Tian used to catch Mao Dun at this time, just at the process of the war that Sima Xin described to him, Ying Gao knew that even if he personally commanded this battle, it was estimated that he would not be able to do better than Han Xin and Meng Tian.
This is especially Meng Tian, Ying Gao has only heard of Meng Tian before, that is the god of war of Daqin, and he has almost never suffered defeat in the hands of the Huns, but what does Meng Tian really look like in battle, Ying Gao really hasn't seen it once, this is the first time, but this time, Ying Gao is convinced, and he knows that he has such a Meng Tian under his command, which is really a great blessing.
First of all, they set off before their own news, which is obviously the effect that Yinggao wanted to achieve before but never achieved it, but Meng Tian did it, and moreover, although they set off in advance, they were not in a hurry, and they were not discovered before Mao Dun entered the Great Wall of Daqin.
And the most awesome thing is that as soon as the people arrived, they didn't even wait for Han Xin to reflect what was going on, and directly took down the Xiongnu's Shan Yu, this time, it can be said that the battle was forcibly ended, looking at the entire Great Qin, no one can beat it.
And the credit for Meng Tian's success naturally also has Han Xin, not to mention that the commander-in-chief and chief planner of this battle is Han Xin, Meng Tian is just a member of his big chess game, not to mention anything else, just say that the Huns ran away in advance, Ying overestimated that if you change to a general who is a little less courageous, then it must be that you don't say anything, go back and go back.
But Han Xin didn't do this, the purpose of not doing this was naturally to prevent the unprepared Meng Tian from becoming a live target of the Huns, and Han Xin did this, which also let Meng Tian, who had not arrived at the time, know the news in advance, and gave Meng Tian full time to think and think, so Meng Tian didn't know what tricks he used to take down Mao Dun.
It can be said that the reason why this battle was able to achieve such an achievement under unfavorable circumstances is that Yinggao definitely did not choose the wrong person. The advantages of Han Xin and Meng Tian were vividly reflected in this battle.
"I don't know if I've ever seen Xiang Yu?"
After spending a long time sorting out a lot of things in the middle of this battle, Yinggao suddenly found that this thing didn't seem to be right, Xiang Yu didn't seem to appear in Sima Xin's mouth from beginning to end.
"General Han Xin after the capture of the Xiongnu generals inquired, learned that Xiang Yu's 10,000 horses did not follow them to attack my Great Qin, Xiang Yu came, but it is rumored that at the beginning of the battle with his only leading general Long and did not know where to go, and General Han Xin also inquired about something, Mao Dun was originally going to kill Xiang Yu after entering my Great Qin territory safely, but it was Xiang Yu who found the ambush of our army, shouted and rushed in the direction of our army, and then disappeared......"
As soon as Ying Gao heard this, he said in his heart how Xiang Yu in this description was a little different from the Xiang Yu he knew, if he told Ying Gao that he ran away as soon as Liu Banggang had a fight, Ying Gao would definitely believe it, but if you tell him that Xiang Yu is such a person, Ying Gao will definitely not believe it, Xiang Yu's enmity with Daqin, that is really quite big, if you can have the opportunity to enter Xianyang City, how can Xiang Yu run away in advance.
But Ying Gao thought about it again, and said in his heart that if Mao Dun had really killed Xiang Yu a long time ago, Xiang Yu would probably have noticed this matter a long time ago......
Sima Xin saw that Yinggao didn't ask him any questions, but he didn't let him go back to rest, and he didn't know what he was trying to figure out if he was frowning and thinking about it.
When he was a little sleepy, all of a sudden, Yinggao 'snapped' in front of him, and slapped the table in front of him heavily, which scared Sima Xin so much that he almost pulled out the big knife on his waist, but obviously it was impossible, because before entering Yinggao's hall, his weapon had already been put away.
"Your Majesty, isn't there anything wrong?"
"If what I expected is right, what you said before was seen by the Hun soldiers for some reason that the ambush of my Great Qin soldiers was pure nonsense!"
"Oh? The king didn't know, at that time, we were indeed in an ambush, and a group of Xiongnu army vanguards shouted at the enemy attack, while waiting for us, I waited for the last resort to release the Qin crossbow, otherwise if we wait until more Xiongnu troops enter the territory of our Great Qin, this Qin crossbow will definitely play a greater role......"
Sima Xin was an anxious man, and when he saw that Yinggao said that it was nonsense to see the ambush, he quickly opened his mouth and explained the situation in detail again, because it was he who commanded the sergeant holding the Qin crossbow at that time, and he also gave the order to release the arrows, so Sima Xin really didn't want to carry this pot.
"You guy, if you don't listen to me, you'll drag it out and punish twenty!"
Obviously, Yinggao's words before he finished speaking, but he was suffocated back by Sima Xin alive, if he hadn't captured Mao Dun alive and made Yinggao's heart happy, Sima Xin's battle today is estimated to be inevitable.
At this moment, Sima Xin naturally nodded again and again, not daring to squeak.
"If what I expected was right, then the enemy attack must have been shouted by Xiang Yu in order to get out of trouble, and its purpose was to cause chaos in the Hun team, and then he and Long He took advantage of the chaos to escape, but they accidentally hit and entered the encirclement prepared in advance, as soon as you release the arrows, the Huns will naturally have no way to pursue Xiang Yu......"
Hearing this speculation, Sima Xin was a little dumbfounded, because he remembered clearly that as soon as the first wave of arrow rain went out, the effect was indeed very good, although those Hun cavalry came to his side like a swarm, but when they were shot, they didn't know what was going on at all, until the second wave of attacks began, it was in the direction of their ambush.
Thinking about it this way, Yinggao's guess seems to be completely reasonable, and even seems to be like that.
Sima Xin thought of this, and suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, people didn't find out at all, but he was in a hurry to release the arrows with a white face, if he could persist any longer, maybe this battle would be easier again.
"You don't have to regret it, even if it was replaced by Han Xin or Meng Tian at that time, they would have released arrows, but this time Xiang Yu was well prepared, and I don't know where he went......"
As soon as Yinggao saw this posture, he knew that Xiang Yu was likely to come over to participate in the battle this time and wanted to escape, Yinggao was worried that Xiang Yu would run directly to Jiangdong without stopping, but then he thought about it, there was only one dragon around him, and the captives of the Huns must not be able to lie, and his 10,000 horses must still be in the territory of the Huns, so what use would he have in the territory of Daqin?
Although he had guessed that Xiang Yu had lured Sima Xin to release the arrow, but where Xiang Yu would go, Yinggao really couldn't figure out anything, Xiang Yu's character was there, but the facts were also there, which made Yinggao quite incomprehensible, he didn't believe that Xiang Yu could give up the territory of Daqin, which he had finally reached, and went back in a circle......
According to Sima Xin, within ten days, Han Xin and Meng Tian will return to Xianyang City with the captive Mao Dun and many Huns to be inspected by Yinggao, Yinggao believes that many answers that he does not know can be found this time.
In the ten days that Han Xin and Meng Tian did not return, a piece of news spread like a gust of wind throughout almost the entire Great Qin, and it was still spreading wildly to the outer counties.
That is, the Xiongnu gathered an army of nearly 300,000 with the intention of attacking Daqin from outside the Great Wall of Korea's hometown, but in a few days, it was defeated by the Great Qin generals Han Xin and Meng Tian, and the battle eliminated nearly 200,000 Xiongnu troops, and captured the Xiongnu Shan in Maodun.
This also indicates that the Xiongnu have always become the external trouble of Daqin, and the days when Daqin had to build a Great Wall to resist him have passed, and after this defeat, it is difficult for the Huns to recover without more than ten years.
When the people of Daqin heard the news, they were as happy as the New Year, the Huns were in the hearts of the people of Daqin, and they were almost all characters who heard the face, you think about it, how powerful Daqin is, and you have to rely on the Great Wall to block the Huns, so isn't it conceivable that the Huns' ability can be imagined?
Such an idea has been in the hearts of the people of Daqin for decades, but now, Yinggao has completely smashed this idea in less than a month, and the Xiongnu's Shan Yudu was captured by Meng Tian and Han Xin, so what else is the Xiongnu afraid of?
Obviously, this is Yinggao is using Daqin's public opinion again, after such a long time, the style of lecturing in Daqin has been very prevalent, after killing a lot of Confucianism who preached anti-Qin thoughts, most of these people who are now participating in the lectures have begun to consider simply passing on their knowledge and their own school.
At the same time, the big and small things that happened in Daqin are naturally what they talk about, and their channel has gradually become the official voice channel of Daqin, if Yinggao wants the people to know something, let these so-called people know first, then it will definitely be okay, but they themselves may not feel it.
The phenomenon caused by the great victory over the Xiongnu in the end is that the people of Daqin have more and more calls for Yinggao, the emperor, which is getting higher and higher, this era is like this, once the people recognize you, then of course the baba you pull out is fragrant, and Yinggao wants this effect for what he wants to implement next.
Ten days later, Ying Gao had already prepared a grand celebration banquet in Xianyang City, and he was just like the first emperor who greeted him outside the city gate, and personally came to welcome the return of Han Xin and Meng Tian.
In fact, for Han Xin, he was not very excited along the way, because the capture of Mao Dun was completely the credit of Meng Tian, and he was still a lot worse than he had expected before, although in the end, because Mao Dun was captured, the morale of the Hun army was completely lost, and the cover of his cavalry led to the fact that the head was not so ugly, but Xiang Yu, who Yinggao wanted the most, didn't know where to run at all, which made Han Xin feel that his hard work this time was almost half a failure.
But Yinggao obviously didn't care about this, he didn't give Han Xin a chance to apologize to him that day, he didn't say anything, and directly drunk Han Xin and Meng Tian, the two great heroes of this battle, at the banquet, before it was over.
That night, the heroes all went back to their own mansions and fell asleep, but Yinggao didn't drink much at the banquet, and at this time he didn't lie on his bed with Feng Qing, but took several guards of the Zhu family to a place he was very familiar with, and saw a person he was not familiar with.
