Chapter 59: The Huns
"Humble Qi Hui, meet the lord"
Qi Jiguang's appearance is a little elegant, if he takes off his military uniform, I believe he will be a merry son. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Jiguang, please." Zhang Zai helped him and motioned for Qi Jiguang to get up.
"I don't know why the lord summoned the last general?" Qi Jiguang was still arranging defense, but he didn't expect to be suddenly called by Zhang Zai.
"There is a task here, it may be very light, it may be very heavy, I don't know Jiguang and I don't have the courage to accept it?" Zhang Zai's words were very vague.
Qi Jiguang was stunned for a moment, he couldn't understand that Zhang Zai had something important for him to deal with, and he would ask such a strange question, but he was also a high and bold artist, and at the same time he had the idea of repaying his kindness in his heart, and he didn't ask Zhang Zai anything, and said directly: "I am willing to serve the Lord!" ”
Zhang Zai didn't expect Qi Jiguang to be so direct, he smiled, and asked, "Don't you ask what the matter is?" ”
Qi Jiguang said firmly: "The lord has an order, Hui will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Zai stroked his hands and smiled: "With Jiguang's words, I am relieved, this time I called Jiguang to come, but I have something to entrust." ”
"Please also ask the lord to command!" Qi Jiguang bowed.
"Jiguang, this time I will send troops to clean up the Xiongnu and the state, and the defense of the state is empty, and there is a lack of generals to preside over the defense. Zhang Zaiqing's suppression of the Xiongnu is not a secret, just three days ago, Zhang Liao had begun to purge Dingxiang, so naturally he couldn't hide the news.
"The last general will be loyal to his duties, guard Taiyuan, and the city is in the people." Qi Jiguang said excitedly.
The defense of the rear has always been guarded by people close to him, and now it is handed over to him to a little-known person, no wonder Qi Jiguang is so excited.
"Ordered you to be the captain, responsible for the defense of Yanmen, and at the same time train the army, ready to reinforce the main army at any time." Zhang Zai handed over the reserve force to Qi Jiguang as the last guarantee.
Following.
The three armies were ready, Zhang Zai also came out of the state pastor's mansion, rode a war horse, and went outside the city.
These days. Cai Yan's three daughters also knew that Zhang Zai's expedition was imminent, and they tried their best to serve Zhang Zai every day, while secretly praying that he would return safely.
Half of the 10,000 troops led by Zhang Zai followed him from Yanmen, and they were extremely loyal, and they didn't need to swear an oath, so they directly ordered to go to Fenyang.
At the same time, Li Jing should also be stationed in Guangyan, Pingding, and Gu Luocheng, Zhang Liao should be stationed near Tancheng, and Xue Rengui should be stationed near Raccoon City, and Xue Rengui should be stationed in Manbai, which is closest to the Xiongnu Wangting Meiji, and is under the greatest pressure.
The words are divided into two ends, since Zhang Liao began to purge the Xiongnu in the territory, the Xiongnu leaders in the royal court have received the news, but they have not paid attention to it, they don't think that the Han people have the courage to attack their royal court, at most the external tribes are scattered, and it will not have much impact.
But it wasn't until later that the Han army in Wuyuan began to assemble, and the Han army in Dingxiang had no intention of retreating, but was stationed on the spot, and the day before yesterday received news from the south, there were also signs of the Han army gathering there, and the three parties faintly surrounded Meiji, and they realized the seriousness of the matter.
At this time, the Su Bu bone was dead, and the old king of the tribe was in charge of the overall situation, and he hurriedly summoned the leaders of the tribes and the left and right kings to discuss the countermeasures.
The expressions on the faces of the people in the tent are different, at this time the Southern Xiongnu are still divided into two factions, one is headed by the old nobles, they conspire to set up another single Yu, attack Taiyuan, and the other is the Yufu Luo family headed by Huchuquan.
The two factions because of the matter of the establishment of a single in the matter, the Huns were originally brave and ruthless, they poured into each other, water and fire are incompatible, although no war broke out, but small-scale conflicts have been continuous.
"This single Yu received the latest information that tens of thousands of Han troops have surrounded from three sides, and the nearest one is less than five hundred miles away from the royal court." Lao Wang glanced at the people in the tent, and finally stopped at Arut, who had supported him to ascend to the position of Shan Yu, hoping that he could have a way to repel the Han army.
Arut also frowned, and when he saw Lao Wang's eyes, he also shook his head slightly, indicating that he had no strategy to retreat from the enemy.
The Southern Xiongnu have cultivated for many years, and at this time there are only 100,000 people in the tribe, and there are only 40,000 people in the control of the strings, of which there are only more than 25,000 people in the hands of Lao Wang, most of whom are still in the hands of various nobles, and he can mobilize only 3,000 people in his headquarters.
Lao Wang also knew that his prestige was no longer enough to lead the Southern Xiongnu, but after the death of Xu Bugu, only he could lead the various departments, plus the promotion of various tribes, this single position also fell on him, and now that the Han army is attacking, he can only hope that these leaders can help him retreat from the enemy.
But he was doomed to be disappointed, and until now, there was still no tribal leader to support him in meeting the enemy.
Huchuquan is naturally needless to say, they are the descendants of Qiangqu, at the beginning of the Xubu bone is powerful, the joint Hutu Department killed Qiangqu, they have no choice but to surrender, now the Han people are surrounded by Meiji, their tribe is still a hundred miles away from here, and in the west of the royal court, not in the range of Han attacks, naturally will not send troops to help.
As for the old aristocratic lineage, they are different, most of their tribes are stationed here, if the Han army comes to attack, it will definitely suffer heavy losses, but if it is a short battle, they are not enough, and they must call Chuquan to send troops to help.
One of the tribal leaders asked, "If the war starts now, can we concentrate our forces and repel the Han army all the way?" ”
"Impossible! They have at least 10,000 people in their army, and if they want to repel them, they must use all their forces, but in this way, the royal court is empty, how can they defend several other Han armies? "As the military advisor of the subgu, Arut also knows the strength of the Han army.
"So what do we do?"
Everyone also looked at Arut.
Arut smiled bitterly in his heart, this battle is not an enemy, if you want to survive, there are only two ways, or see how they choose.
"Now there are only two ways, one is to evacuate the royal court and withdraw from the territory of the Han Chinese. ”
"No way!"
As soon as this was said, it was rejected by everyone, and the water and grass were abundant here, and their tribe had lived here for hundreds of years, put down roots, and now they were asked to evacuate and return to the days of hundreds of years ago, when they waged war for a piece of grass, of course, they did not want to.
"There is another one, which is to fight to the death, how to decide, everyone?" Arut pointed out the last way, and everyone was dumbfounded, it was a complete dead end.
There was silence in the big tent, and no one thought that this second road was not as good as the first road, and the first road still had hope of survival.
"Then we can surrender!" I don't know who said such a sentence in the big tent, which immediately aroused the approval of the leaders.
But Arut came out again and poured a basin of cold water: "Impossible! ”
The leaders glared angrily, and in the eyes of Arut, they had only one way to die.
"Do you remember two years ago, when we attacked Taiyuan, we killed an assassin?" Arut asked, not caring that the crowd seemed to eat him.
"Of course, that's a great feat." These aristocrats had pride in their eyes.
"The person in charge of the state is his son!"
