"Zhao Shu * Li Mu Biography" contains: The soldiers feint defeat, the Huns pursued, and then the Chinese army held on, the two wings of the chariots outflanked, and then surrounded it, and the enemy 100,000 could not escape.

In the twentieth year of King Wuling of Zhao, after defeating Lin Hu and Lou Fu, Zhao Jun set up three counties of Daijun, Yanmen and Yunzhong in the north. In the following six years, in order to defend the territory and the fruits of their labor, the soldiers and civilians of the Northland worked together to build the winding Great Wall. Since then, the Great Wall has become the most prominent line of defense of the Zhao State against the grassland peoples, and it has also become the base for the Zhao army to attack the grassland to win the court.

As the fighting in the Central Plains intensified, Zhao's forces in the north had to shrink gradually, so much so that many strongholds outside the Great Wall were abandoned. In the face of the resurgence of the steppe peoples, the people of the Northland relied on the defense line of the Great Wall to repel attack after attack. The Great Wall is stained with the blood of countless Daijun, Yanmen, and the children of the three counties in the clouds.

"The Great Wall is not only a military defense line, but also a national dividing line, and a life and death line for the people." Standing on the Great Wall towering in the mountains, Zhao Jie sighed earnestly: "The battle that took place on this line has no legal principles, no right or wrong, and the only thing that exists is the yearning for a better life. ”

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Jie stretched out his hand and pointed to the plain outside the Great Wall, and asked, "How is the bait prepared for the Xiongnu army there?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yin hurriedly replied: "Your Highness rest assured, according to the will of the county guard, five thousand soldiers and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep have been scattered to the grassland!" ”

"Then let everyone prepare well, and let the Hun army be buried under this wall within ten days." Zhao Jie slowly patted the rammed earth on the city wall, and said in a firm tone.

At the same time, in the vast meadow dozens of miles away, bloody massacres were still going on. Since the annexation of Zamu and the Ministry, the strength of the Xiongnu army has increased greatly, and Shan Yu's heart once again gave birth to the idea of fighting with Zhao State. Learning from the lessons of the previous invasion, the Xiongnu abandoned the old method of forming loose alliances in favor of Hutu's new method of annexing weaker tribes to expand their power.

Due to geographical and historical reasons, the tribes active near the Zhao-Hun border have always been pro-Zhao and alienated by the Xiongnu, and most of the tribes here are tribes composed of non-Xiongnu people such as Linhu and Eaves Bag. Obviously, these tribes were rightfully divided into enemies by the Xiongnu, so the only way to deal with these tribes was to annex them bloodily.

Under the Great Guard, the Xiongnu Shan Yu looked at the bloody slaughter not far away, his face did not have a trace of unbearability and pity, and the law of survival on the grassland made his heart as hard as iron.

"Yi Chi slanted, what are the movements of the Zhao people in the south?" The Xiongnu looked up at the blood-colored remnant sun, and asked with a calm face.

"According to the report of the secret agents sent into the territory of Zhao: In recent days, the troops of Zhao have moved closer to the Great Wall, and Li Mu has left Datong a few days ago and arrived at the border field." Yi Chi replied cautiously.

"Li Mu is really a difficult opponent! But that's to be expected. Xiongnu Shan Yu put his hands behind his back, sighed and continued to ask: "Where is the striker now?" ”

"Returning to Shan Yu, the forward is now stationed twenty miles outside the Great Wall of Zhao State, and not long ago he sent a letter to ask if he would continue to march!" Yi Chi slanted through the parchment in his hand and replied, "Do you need to read the letter of inquiry written by the striker, General Xin Yunjin?" ”

Shan Yu waved his hand, and then continued to ask: "In his letter, can he describe the movements of the border army on the Great Wall of Zhao?" ”

"Shan Yu Yingming, General Xin Yunjin did mention the movements of the Zhao army in the letter!" Yi Chi said flatteringly: "The letter said that the border army of Zhao State has not moved, the border people are still grazing on the grassland, and cattle and sheep are all over the grassland ten miles outside the Great Wall!" ”

"It shouldn't be like this! Touman has already moved south, and the movements of our army have been completely exposed, why is Li Mu not as strong as usual? Xiongnu Shan Yu muttered in confusion when he heard this.

"Yu Yu, there must be demons when things are abnormal, and I think that there must be deception in this position!" Hu Tu, a strategist who has become a close confidant of Shan Yu, opened his mouth and said: "Li Mu has always had a reputation for being cautious, but now he is doing risky things, maybe he wants to design a plot against our army, and he has to guard against it!" ”

Shan Yu agreed after thinking about it, he nodded and asked, "Your words are exactly what I want, but what do you say my army should do?" ”

"Order the forward to be stationed in place, consolidate the front, and prepare to meet the follow-up army!" Hu Tu said with high spirits: "As long as my hundreds of thousands of troops gather together and choose to attack at the same time, no matter how ingenious my strategy is, it will be in vain!" ”

"Not bad, good idea!" Shan Yu praised when he heard the words: "Yi Chi slanted, just do what Hu Tu said!" ”

—————————————————————————————————————

The Xiongnu Vanguard Army, the strongest and most loyal army in the hands of the Xiongnu, was composed of young men from among the young men in the Shan Division. They have been instilled for a long time with the belief of loyalty to Shan Yu, and they are a team that dares to sacrifice their lives for Shan Yu.

However, as a formidable force, they were not consumed on the battlefield alone, but remained in the tribe as the most powerful protection of the tribe.

This expedition to the south was the first time that this force had left the tribe, so Shan Yu originally wanted them to accompany him as an escort for the Chinese army, but after repeated requests from Xin Yunjin and the generals, he was able to serve as the vanguard and lead the whole army.

Handsome tent, Xin Yunjin respectfully took the will of Shan Yu in Yi Chi's hand, and all the generals behind him were dazed and puzzled. "Dare to ask Brother Yi, what is the reason for Shan Yu's will?" After receiving the order, Xin Yunjin stood up and asked, "The people of Zhao are right in front of them, and they are not prepared at all, why do you let our army be stationed in place?" ”

"Yes, please General Yi to solve our doubts!" The generals also shouted: "I can't figure out why Shan Yu would give such an order!" ”

For such an army that is only favored by him, although Yi Chixian is a close confidant, he still does not dare to slack off. He explained sincerely: "You may not know that this Zhao army has always been cunning, and it is for the sake of the generals to give such an order. Besides, our army of more than 100,000 people is now scattered everywhere, and we also need generals as a benchmark for the armies everywhere to gather! ”

"That being the case, please Brother Yi return to Shan Yu, we will definitely stick to this, not moving like a mountain!" Xin Yunjin secretly measured it in his heart, and replied after being silent for a while.

The generals behind him also promised, but their faces showed disapproving expressions.
