Chapter 131: The Great Army Sets Out

After this person finished speaking, he was shocked, and the generals began to talk about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Shi Zun also frowned, this was a problem he hadn't considered, but this lieutenant general said that it was completely possible.

"So what do you say you should do?" Shi Zun asked the lieutenant general.

"Didn't Your Majesty send someone to transfer troops from Taiyuan? The last general thinks that His Royal Highness can transfer the 10,000 soldiers and horses to the clouds to strengthen the defense, and our men and horses will return to Licheng to hold on, and the intentions of the Huns are still unclear at the moment, and when we see the intentions of the Huns, we will make a decision before it is too late. ā€

As soon as the man finished speaking, someone immediately objected: "No! There are not a few cattle raised by our Qianmen near the clouds, if we don't attack, even if the Huns don't attack the city, it will cause a lot of losses! How will you explain to the imperial court when the time comes? What's more, the 10,000 soldiers and horses in Taiyuan were personally ordered by His Majesty to guard the Yanmen Pass, so how could they be dispatched at will? ā€

After listening to everyone's words, Shi Zun was also entangled in every way, and asked: "A few days ago, you fought with the front of the Huns, what do you think of their combat effectiveness?" ā€

One of them replied with a smile: "Your Highness, the Huns are weak in war, if it weren't for their large numbers, everyone would have destroyed them a long time ago." ā€

"Oh? Combat effectiveness is so poor? Shi Zun was obviously a little skeptical.

"Your Highness, the last general thinks that the Huns are trying to paralyze us, the Huns have always been fierce, and they shouldn't be so mediocre in combat, so the last general is worried that if he rushes out, he will be attacked by the Huns before and after." The lieutenant who had just raised a different opinion said again.

Shi Zun couldn't help but fall into deep thought, what everyone said was reasonable, which made it difficult for him to make a decision for a while. Whether it was to return to Li Cheng or to reinforce Yunzhong, it didn't seem so appropriate.

"When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic, Your Highness, once the clouds are attacked, the 20,000 cavalry will still have time to reinforce, although the surrounding areas of the clouds will suffer some losses, but Yanmen Pass has been unable to get out, then even if the Huns succeed, they can only return from a long distance, we can completely block their back road."

Shi Zun nodded solemnly, and said: "Then temporarily retreat to Licheng, press the army, and wait for the Huns' movements to be clear, let's take action again, and the generals will obey the order!" Camp now! Back to Li Cheng! ā€

"Yes!"

Before the fifth watch arrived, in the camp outside Yecheng, 10,000 cavalry were ready to go.

"Soldiers! Remember those brothers who died at the hands of the Huns nineteen years ago? Shi Zhan was giving his final remarks to the soldiers on the expedition.

"Blood feud! Never forget! Ten thousand horses shouted in unison.

"This expedition! Kill every Hun you meet! I will definitely take revenge for the year! Can it be done! ā€

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ā€

"Today, I am here to send you on a journey, and on another day, I will meet you here in triumph! Dry! Shi Zhan said, raising the bowl in his hand.

"!" The 10,000 soldiers also raised the bowl in their hands and drank it all.

Shi Min stepped forward, saluted Shi Zhan respectfully, and said, "Father, the child will live up to your expectations!" ā€

Shi Zhan nodded solemnly and patted Shi Min's shoulder.

Wang Shicheng looked at the sky, nodded to Shi Zhan, and then shouted: "Get on the horse!" ā€

All the soldiers stepped on horseback and got ready to go.

Shi Min also rode his Zhulong horse, straddling the sword at his waist, holding a halberd in his hand, and wearing a goose feather armor, so he was not majestic.

Wang Shicheng rode on horseback, turned the horse's head, and looked back at the soldiers, because the sky was dark, he couldn't see everyone's expressions clearly, but seeing that everyone had already got on the horse, Wang Shicheng raised his arms and shouted: "Go!" ā€

"Ahh Ahh Ahh The soldiers also raised their arms and shouted.

Wang Shicheng took the lead and rushed out, and the rest of the people quickly followed. The 10,000 cavalry braved the early morning mist, rumbled, and headed northwest.

In the early morning, the whole northern country was also shrouded in mist, and a large group of Huns were marching.

"Big order! The scouts in front reported that Shi Zun's cavalry had withdrawn to Li Cheng! "A man who looks like a lieutenant general rode a horse to report to the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

"Huh~" Da Dan stopped at Lerma.

Seeing this, the cavalry behind him also hurriedly reined in their horses, and a lieutenant general shouted: "All dismount and rest!" ā€

Da Shan Yu also got off his horse and sat down on a stone next to him, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, someone immediately handed him a sheepskin map. Da Shan Yu spread out the sheepskin map, looked at it carefully, and then beckoned to a few of his subordinates, saying, "You see, we ran more than 200 miles in one go last night, and now we have reached this position. ā€

"Da Shan Yu, Shi Zun, this kid is a coward, since he has returned to Yecheng, it is better to suggest that it is better to do this, 20,000 cavalry will attack Yunzhong directly, and the 10,000 cavalry will intercept halfway to stop Li Cheng's reinforcements, what do you think."

Da Shan Yu still lowered his head and looked at the map, without expressing his opinion, after a while, he closed the map, handed it to his subordinates, and then stood up and said: "Li Cheng City is high and deep, it is not easy to capture, just do as you say, 20,000 people are approaching the clouds, if Li Cheng comes to rescue, 10,000 people will block it." ā€

"Then if Li Cheng dispatches everyone, I'm afraid we 10,000 people won't be able to stop it!"

Da Shan Yu smiled and said: "I'm afraid that he won't come out of the nest, if he comes out, then the 10,000 people who marched from Hexi can directly take Li Cheng, let's just lead them by the nose, and we don't have to entangle with them for too long." ā€

"Da Danyu, how about it? We, the Qiang people, are cooperating with you this time, and we are saying that we are under your command, so don't let us run for nothing! A middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket, a long beard, and a tiger's back pushed away a few people and walked in front of Da Shan Yu.

Da Shan Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you have food for my Huns, you Qiang people will not go hungry." ā€

"What do we do next? After running for most of the night, it's dawn, it's time to take a break, right? ā€

"The order goes down, the army rests in place, and sets off in two hours."

"Da Shan Yu, rest now? I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? An adjutant general reminded.

"Don't worry, the position we are in now is on higher ground, if someone sneaks up, we can see it from afar. We've been running for so long, and we're already sleepy, so if we run again, how can we still have the strength to fight? ā€

"Yes!"

"What's next?" The middle-aged man asked Da Shan Yu.

"The 10,000 people we distributed yesterday will be in the middle of Li Cheng and Yunzhong, and now our 20,000 people will go straight to Yunzhong, if Li Cheng sends reinforcements, the 10,000 people we left behind can be blocked. The defenders in the clouds are not more than 10,000 people, and they are not as high and deep as Li Cheng, and they will definitely be able to conquer in less than six days. ā€

"Just do what the big order says!" The middle-aged man patted his thigh and nodded in agreement.

Shi Min and Wang Shicheng marched all the way to the northwest with 10,000 cavalry, and Wang Chong, because he was familiar with the terrain, followed Shi Min all the time, never leaving an inch.

"How far is it from Li Cheng?" Shi Min asked Wang Chong on horseback.

"At the current rate, it will be possible to arrive in a day and a half at most." Wang Chong said as he rode his horse.

"Second uncle, third uncle, if we want to march from Hexi to Li Cheng now, we have to go around in a big circle, and we will definitely not have time to arrive in a day and a half, do you have any ideas?"

Wang Shicheng preemptively said: "The 10,000 Huns who marched into Licheng from Hexi have obvious intentions, just to contain them, in this case, we don't have to care about Licheng, find these 10,000 people first!" ā€

"What your third uncle said makes sense, let's kill some Huns first!" Li Chang said on the side.

"Xue Zan, send scouts, be sure to find the traces of the Huns coming from the west of the river as soon as possible." Wang Shicheng ordered.

"The last general commands!" Xue Zan replied loudly on his horse.

Very open, a small force of cavalry of several dozen people broke away from the large army and went in different directions.

Early this morning, Shi Jian entered the palace, and according to the regulations of the palace, today is the day when he enters the palace to visit Concubine Zheng.

"How is the concubine doing?" Shi Jian supported Concubine Zheng to bask in the sun and take a walk in the Evergreen Palace.

"My Evergreen Palace has always been peaceful, no matter what wind can't blow here, what can be wrong?" Concubine Zheng's feet were already neat, and she and Shi Jian were strolling leisurely.

"Erchen only hopes that everything is okay for the concubine, nothing else matters, the son-in-law can't often pay tribute to visit you, you still have to take care of yourself, this time I have been sick for so long, and the concubine has really suffered a little."

"Don't worry! This time I just felt the wind chill occasionally, but spring has already come, and the day is getting warmer day by day, and I will not suffer from the wind chill anymore. Concubine Zheng gently patted Shi Jian's hand and said.
