"County guard, the Hun forward has stopped advancing!" Zhao Jie hurriedly broke into Li Mu's room, interrupted the meeting between Li Mu and Touman, and said breathlessly.

Li Mu pointed to the cushion beside him, motioned for Zhao Jie to sit down with peace of mind, and then said slowly: "Isn't the stopping of the Hun forward in place just giving us more time to transfer troops?" You should be happy instead of panicking! ”

"But the Hun forward stopped advancing, and our army's ambush plan was stillborn!" Although Zhao Jie was puzzled, he still stubbornly reminded Li Mudao.

"Don't worry, the ambush circle is not for tens of thousands of forward troops, what he is going to bury will be the army that the Huns rely on to dominate the grassland!" Li Mu comforted Zhao Jie with a confident expression.

"There are more than 100,000 people in the army alone, and the county guard wants to swallow it in one bite, isn't it ......" Tou Man said in disbelief.

"You must think it's unrealistic, but my opinion is the opposite, and everything that's happening is going according to my vision!" Li Mu stroked his beard and said with a natural expression: "If the Xiongnu army is scattered, our army can only hurt one part of it at most, so that it only hurts the muscles and bones, and now the Xiongnu Shan Yuzheng is cautiously gathering the army in one place, which just gives me the opportunity to annihilate its army." ”

"The strength of the Hun army is not small, will it break its teeth?" Zhao Jie asked with a little worry when he heard this.

"Don't worry, our army has 100,000 troops, and the Great Wall is dangerous, and we are fighting on our own soil, the right time, place and people are all up to me, this war will definitely be a one-sided situation!" Li Mu replied confidently: "Besides, our army still has the Touman brothers to help in the war, and they can be said to know the roots of their army, and victory will definitely be captured!" ”

—————————————————————————————————————

Five days later, after witnessing the demise of dozens of non-subordinate tribes, the tribesmen of the Linhu and Eaves tribes had to choose to submit to the Xiongnu. The tribal chiefs of nearly 100 large and small tribes successively bowed to the Xiongnu Shan Yu and voluntarily contributed their own tribe's warriors, just asking the Xiongnu Shan Yu to give their tribes a chance to survive. The Xiongnu sat down under the Great Guard, accepted the submission of the tribes with a smile on his face, accepted the warriors contributed by the tribes happily, and mercilessly detained the chiefs of the tribes in the army.

Through the bloody slaughter, the Xiongnu successfully pulled the tribes onto their chariots; Through the annexation of large and small tribes, the Xiongnu greatly expanded the strength of the army they led; Through the control of the tribal chiefs, the Xiongnu Shan Yu strengthened their rule over the tribes of the steppe. Through a series of means, the Xiongnu Shan Yu made himself a veritable overlord of the steppe, creating a real steppe empire. When the Xiongnu Shan Yu's Daxu arrived at the garrison that the forward army had already prepared, tens of thousands of Xiongnu warriors cheered one after another: "Long live Shan Yu!" ”

"The last general will meet Shan Yu, long live Shan Yu!" Under the Great Order, Xin Yunjin led all the generals who had been waiting for a long time to kneel down and salute Shan Yu.

"The generals don't have to be polite, get up!" Xiongnu Shan Yu said happily: "General Xin, you get in the car, I have something to ask you." ”

Hearing this, Xin Yunjin climbed into the carriage, and in the envious eyes of the generals, he sat beside Shan Yu and began to whisper with Shan Yu.

"I heard that some of your generals attacked privately, what was the result? How did Zhao Jun react? Shan Yu asked with concern: "Tell me everything you know!" ”

"Yu Shan Yu, recently the scale of cattle and sheep herding of the people of Zhao has expanded a lot, and those who are brave have driven the cattle and sheep to the vicinity of my tent, Tuoba Xiong is resentful of the activities of the people of Zhao who are close to demonstrations, so he violated Shan Yu's order and attacked privately, but he has been severely punished by his humble position, and please see that Shan Yu is loyal to the Lord's heart, and he will be lightly punished!" Xin Yunjin replied with a gloomy face.

"Now that you've punished him, I don't care about it, you and Tuoba Xiong are both my trusted generals, I hope I won't make such mistakes in the future!" Shan Yu said angrily.

Xin Yunjin said yes again and again when he heard this, and then continued: "According to Tuoba Xiong, that day, he only led a thousand soldiers and horses to attack, and the shepherds of Zhao State everywhere he went were all invincible, but when they saw them from afar, they immediately dispersed in a hurry, abandoning the large number of cattle and sheep that were still grazing, as if he wanted to give the cattle and sheep all over the mountains to our army. ”

"Have you ever met with resistance? Have you ever met Zhao Jun? Shan Yu Wenyan was still puzzled in his heart, so he eagerly continued to ask.

"According to Tuoba Xiong, during his march, he was once ambushed by the Zhao army, but the strength of the ambushers was too weak, only a few hundred people, and a single impact could crush its formation, and it could not stop our army at all." Xin Yunjin continued to narrate in a low voice.

"It shouldn't be! Zhao Jun's strength shouldn't be so weak! Shan Yu continued to ask in disbelief: "This is all what Tuoba Xiong said, you can investigate its authenticity!" ”

"Yu Danyu, the humble post has been verified by the ordinary soldiers, and the returning soldiers all answered like this!" Xin Yunjin continued to reply: "And General Tuoba left the camp with thousands of people, returned to the camp with thousands of people, and there were less than 100 dead and wounded, but he captured dozens of Zhao troops, which is enough to show that the Zhao army is vulnerable!" ”

"Li Muzhi has always had a way to govern the army, how could he train such a weak army in two years!" Hearing this, Shan Yu couldn't help but become more and more puzzled, and he continued to ask in a muttered voice: "After this sortie, what actions did the Zhao army do?" ”

"Yu Danyu, after that, Zhao Jun did not move, only the herdsmen's grazing was slightly restrained, but yesterday it reverted!" Xin Yunjin replied sincerely.

"What does Li Mu want to do like this?" Shan Yu asked Yi Chi Slope, who was driving his horse in front of him, suspiciously: "Yi Zhi Slope, what do you think?" ”

Yi Chi raised his horsewhip obliquely, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "The last general feels that there are two possibilities: one is that the strength of the current Zhao army is indeed weak. I've heard that Zhao's relationship with Qin to the west has become increasingly tense in recent years, and in order to prevent an invasion by a powerful neighbor, perhaps King Zhao has to transfer the elite of the northern region to the south. ”

"According to the report of our spies who infiltrated the Central Plains, the military center of gravity of the Zhao State is indeed concentrated in the Central Plains now, and their enemies seem to be much stronger than them!" Shan Yu nodded, and then continued: "This hypothesis is indeed extremely likely. ”

"The two are Li Mu's tricks, deliberately hiding his strength, and wanting to design a huge kill for my army! The last general thinks this hypothesis is more likely than the former! Yi Chixian continued: "The reason is that it is impossible for Zhao Guo to give up Yanmen County easily, and Li Mu must have at least an elite in his hands!" ”

"Brother Yi, I don't think you think about it so comprehensively and you haven't said much, and you don't get to the point at all!" Xin Yunjin interjected: "Should we attack or not?" How to attack? When to attack? ”

"What do you think?" Shan Yu Wenyan smiled slightly, and he liked Xin Yunjin's straightforwardness more and more, so he asked.

"The last general thought that when all the more than 100,000 troops were gathered, it would be enough to launch a full-scale attack on Zhao State. As for whether the army is weak or not, whether the plan exists or not, it will turn into powder under the collective impact of more than 100,000 troops! ”
