Chapter 177: Choice

Linhe crossing, it sounds like it's just a ferry.

When the Huns crossed the river, the river was a bridgehead. Later, after the Xiongnu gained a firm foothold in Henan, Linhe served as a hub connecting Henan and Hebei, and the location was very important. This is the pastoral area of the Huyan tribe in Henan, where nearly 100,000 people live. As far as the whole of Henan is concerned, the riverside ferry is not a big camp, but it can also be regarded as an upper middle camp.

When Huyanti rushed back to Linhe from Hebei, it was already the third day of Quyan's loss.

These days, he has been dealing with migration in Hebei. If the Xiongnu fail, they will not only face the attack of the old Qin, but also the invasion of the Yueshi and Donghu. Therefore, Huyanti must take care of all affairs, including marrying with the Yue clan. To this end, Mao Dun proposed a phalanx of the Yue clan in the west and Donghu in the east. In general, it is necessary to meet the source left and right, and survive in the cracks. At the same time, it was necessary to prepare to expand to the north with a view to annexing the weak nomads of the northern Xiongnu.

In order to unite the Yueshi, Maotun ordered Huyanti to return the 2,000 li of land and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep that the Yueshi had given to the Xiongnu last year.

Huyanti was in Hebei during this time, and he was busy with this aspect.

"Shu Yan is lost? How could Qu Yan have lost? ”

When Hu Yanti heard the news, he couldn't help but change his face greatly, "What about Zhu'er?" Did Zhu'er escape from Quyan? "Morton looked thin and emaciated.

He half-closed his eyes, and after a long time, he sighed lightly, "The entire army of Shuyan was annihilated, and Sule was killed on the spot. According to those who escaped, when Qin Manzi captured Quyan, Zhu'er was still in my vault. There are more than 10,000 women and children. It all fell into the hands of Qin Manzi. ”

Hu Yanti's head was bruised, and his hands were clenched into fists.

"That ......"

Without waiting for Hu Yanti to finish speaking, Mao Dun said with a wry smile: "Now it's not just Qu Yan who has a problem, according to the news obtained by the scouts. Three days earlier, Touman's army had defeated the city of Yokoyama Zhaowang...... More than 200,000 troops were almost wiped out. The right king and the left and right generals were killed on the spot. ”

"Ahh

Although there is already mental preparation. But when Huyanti heard the news, he was still stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.

Touman was defeated......

After a long time, Hu Yanti finally reacted, "Da Shan Yu, then should we immediately send troops to recapture Qu Yan?" ”

The big single Yu in Huyanti's mouth is not Touman, but refers to Mao Dun. From the moment he decided to take a boat with Maudun, Touman was in Huyanti's eyes. It is no longer the Xiongnu Shan Yu. He asked eagerly, "Do you know which Qin army attacked Quyan?" ”

"Fuping Lao."

Hu Yanti's cheeks twitched involuntarily, and after gasping, he forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart. That old man didn't die? also ran to the sneak attack of Quyan...... Da Danyu, since this is the case, I believe that there will not be too many soldiers and horses under Lao Zhen. In Fuping, he is already seriously injured, and there are only 2,000 people left, so we can take advantage of his unstable foothold to recapture Quyan in one fell swoop. ”

Who knows. Touman just asked lightly. "And then?"

"And then? What then? ”

"What are we going to do after we take Quyan? Greet Touman. Continue to let him be a big single Yu, and watch the Huns die in his hands? ”

"This ......"

Mao Dun stood up, walked to the door of the big tent, turned his back to Huyanti and said, "When I heard the news yesterday, I was also ready to send troops to rescue immediately. However, the scouts are now showing signs of the activities of the Qin army on the banks of the Great River. According to the scouts, it is likely that the Qin army in the north had crossed the Great Wall of Wei and reached the Dengkou area. There are only three or four days left before our river crossing. ”

With that, Mao Dun turned to look at Huyanti.

"King Zuogu Li, please forgive me for not sending troops to capture Quyan, because time no longer allows us to recapture Quyan."

Huyanti lowered his head, and after a long time, he let out a long breath.

"The barbarians of the Central Plains are really powerful, one ring after another...... If we rescue Quyan, it will take two days to go back and forth. Even if we can recapture Quyan in one day's time, we will inevitably face the possibility of being cut off...... Qin Manzi, so vicious.

But what about Pearl? ”

A haze appeared on Mao Dun's face.

"There are now more than 50,000 women and children at the river crossing, and it is imperative to save their lives. King Zuogu Li, everything we do now should be based on the future of the Xiongnu...... If Zhu'er had a spirit in heaven, I believe she would have understood me.

In addition, I received news from Qinger that he still had 7,000 cavalry under his command, escorting a large amount of grain and grass to rush back.

I have sent for him to be informed that he should cross the river from Kubuqi by a different route, and travel around Wuliangsu from Yangshan, and then try to join us.

It is said that Meng Tian chased very closely.

It must be to join up with Lao Zhen in Quyan and wipe us out. Therefore, at this time, we must not act rashly.

King Zuogu Li, I have sent someone to Donghu to ask for help, and I said that Ali died in the hands of Qin Manzi, and asked King Donghu to send troops to take revenge. If all goes well, from now on, Donghu will send troops to attack Yunzhong within ten days. As long as we cross the river and defend Hebei, after ten days, the Qin barbarians will have to stop marching against Hebei. For us, it's a good opportunity to recuperate.

Therefore, I implore you not to be angry. ”

Maudun tried to keep his tone steady, so that Huyanti could feel the sincerity in his words.

Sure enough, Huyanti sat on the couch, his face twisted, and his body trembled slightly. Punched the long case, he raised his head, looked at Mao Dun and said: "Da Dan Yu is right, at this moment, we should focus on the overall situation, and the old minister is willing to obey Da Dan Yu's dispatch." ”

Mao paused in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, Mao Dun also loves Hu Yanzhu to the core. But in the case of Maudun. The future and great cause of the Xiongnu land are the first in his life. The current situation is indeed not suitable for the army to attack Shuyan, because he has more important things to do.

Day 3. Qu Yan.

Chen Ping persuaded with some apprehension: "Junhou, keeping those women is a big trouble after all. Want me to say. Or kill it clean. ”

Yes, a big hassle indeed.

More than 10,000 women and children. Although it is said that it is unarmed and does not seem to have any combat effectiveness, once it makes trouble, the threat is not small.

Liu Kan didn't know, but he couldn't be ruthless after all.

Although Chen Ping and others persuaded him several times, Liu Kan pretended not to care and diverted the topic. But in my heart, I was very nervous. Hu Yanzhu had woken up, but was held alone by Liu Kan. For this barbarian woman, Liu Kan didn't dare to underestimate it.

A woman who can come up with a plan to fake. It's not just a woman.

She must not be allowed to mingle with the other captives, or she will surely stir up chaos. But if he was asked to kill all these women and children, he couldn't do it, and he couldn't do it. Although in the eyes of others. If it is not of my race, its heart will be different, don't say what is 10,000, 100,000, 200,000? The winner is king, and the loser is the villain, this is the law of survival in this era.

But Liu Kan. But it has always been difficult to agree.

Separate the women and children. It was encircled with a fence and sent Lu Shizhi and Chen Ping to guard it. Just in case they create chaos. At the same time, Liu Kan ordered the others to step up their rest against Shu Yan in order to prepare for the series of bloody battles that were coming.

Whether it is Mao Dun or Touman, they are not ordinary characters.

Originally, Liu Kan really didn't have the confidence to resist the counterattack of the Huns. However, after the capture of Quyan, there is still a slave camp in the city of Quyan. Most of the camps were Central Plains people who had been captured by the Huns, and the number was about 2,000.

Among them, there are many people who are soldiers of border counties.

The combat effectiveness may not be as strong as it can be, but at least it can play a role.

Liu Kan ordered Tu Tu Fan and the two of them, and transferred strong people from them into their respective armies. Then he found a lot of bows and arrows from the treasury of Shuyan. Mao Dun decided to evacuate Henan, and naturally he would not let go of all kinds of materials in Quyan City.

However, as the Huns in Henan, Qu Yan hoarded countless materials.

Mao Dun didn't dare to make a fair transfer to prevent Touman from being aware. In this way, it is cheaper for Liu Kan and others......

In one of the storehouses, thousands of jars of black oil were even found. This kind of black oil is what later generations called crude oil. According to a Northland man who was plundered by the Huns, there is a lot of this black crude oil in the Gaonu area of the Northland, and many local people use this black oil as fuel. These black oils of the Huns were purchased at low prices from the Gaonu region to make fire-starters.

After Liu Kan learned about it, he immediately asked about the location of Gao Nu.

Oil, is there such a thing in this era?

But even if there is oil, it is not very useful, except for ignition and lighting, Liu Kan really can't think of any object that can use such a thing as crude oil in this era.

Listening to Chen Ping's old tune, Liu Kan scratched his head in distress.

"Daozi, those women and children...... If they do make any trouble, I'll kill them, but now...... By the way, it's the third day, why hasn't there been any movement over there? Could it be that he is not ready to recapture Quyan? ”

Chen Ping thought for a while, "I have inquired in the past two days, and I heard that Mao Dun loves his Yan family to the extreme, and she is still Hu Yanti's daughter, Mao Dun should not be indifferent." The reason why there has been no movement until now, I wonder if the Mao Dun has seen something? ”

Liu Kan asked again: "If he sees our intentions, how should we respond?" ”

"Cope?" Chen Ping couldn't help laughing, "Junhou, you are thinking too big, too far...... There are some things that you simply can't think about right now, or shouldn't be thinking about at all. Suffice it to say, you've done enough right now. This time, the general can quickly defeat Qu Yan, and to put it bluntly, you have at least half of the credit. So, what you should think about now is what you plan for the future. ”

"What are your plans for the future?"

"That's right, that's what I'm going to do in the future. As for Maodun, he has his own Tanglin Marquis to deal with. On the one hand, you have to guard the way of Quyan and block the retreat of Touman, and on the other hand, you need to think about how you will develop in the future. Do you want to go to Xianyang, or stay in Henan, or ...... Turnaround warehouse. I think that after the end of the war, the general will definitely ask you about this, how do you answer? ”

Liu Kan couldn't help but be silent!

Chen Ping's remarks were by no means untargeted.

The war is coming to an end, what choice should I make?

During this period of time in northern Xinjiang, although every day was indispensable for fighting and killing, Liu Kan already liked this feeling.

Those iron-clad old Qin people made him have a different kind of feelings for the Great Qin Dynasty.

In his previous life, all he heard was how brutal Daqin was, but he couldn't deny that in this era, it was full of blood.

Sometimes, Liu Kan really wants to just protect Lao Qin. But think about it again, protect the old Qin...... How easy is it to say? Unless he can have the qualifications to persuade the First Emperor. Can he have it? With a person like Meng Tian who was loyal to Emperor Shi Shi, couldn't he see the maladministration of Great Qin? Meng Tian couldn't persuade the First Emperor, what qualifications and abilities did he have, but he could persuade the First Emperor? can't persuade the First Emperor, the future of Great Qin......

Liu Kan knew his character very well, and it was impossible for him to succumb to the tents of Zhao Gao and his ilk.

So, stay in Henan and help Fusu?

This may be a good choice, but it's just better.

Liu Kan hesitated, sat quietly in the big tent, and said nothing. After a long time, he looked at Chen Ping and asked, "Daozi, what do you think I ...... How should we answer that? ”

When I went home, there were too many trivial things at home.

In addition to renovating the house, my parents forced me to go to work, and I was constantly doing things all day. In addition, I flashed my waist two days ago, and I was able to sit in front of the computer very little time every day.

I'm sorry, but I guess it will stabilize by May, and I'll be back to normal updates at that time.
