Chapter 173: The Decisive Battle in Henan (3)
The Extreme Ridge is a branch of the Meridian Ridge. {First Reading}
Rolling hills. The strange peaks and rocks are craggy, and the mountains and jungles are dense, which makes the whole Junji Collar look very lush.
Standing at the top of the mountain, you can see a beach.
Past the beach, it is the city of Quyan. The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, and when I glance at it, I suddenly feel lonely.
Liu Kan stood on the top of the mountain, his eagle-like gaze locked on the looming city outline, and he didn't move for a long time. Like a rock that has stood here since ancient times, it does not move...... From early morning to noon, the fog in the mountains wet his armor, and then in the bright sunshine, it dried again! Liu Kan breathed calmly, and behind him, there were still many people standing, silent.
"Ali defeated?"
"Defeated!"
Li Cheng said softly: "When Ali was ambushed by Pinghou in Jitou Mountain, he was defeated by some rules. He led his troops to retreat to Chaona, with his back to Zhaowang City, trying to stabilize his position. If Touman had sent troops to aid at that time, Ali would not have been so miserable even if he was defeated.
However, he, like us, was treated as an outcast......
And after holding on for two days, he broke the city. The 60,000 Huns were completely defeated, and Ali was in the midst of the chaos, nowhere to be found, and his life and death were unknown.
Now Touman has gathered at Meridian Ridge and attacked in the direction of Hengshan. Marquis, what shall we do? Should we move closer to Meridian Ridge? However, the general must have made proper arrangements, and even if we arrive at Meridian Ridge, we can only catch up with the finish. β
Everyone, silent!
Meng Ji and Meng Ke lowered their heads even more, and they didn't even say a word.
In this day and age, human life is as cheap as a dog. The duty of a soldier is not to defend the homeland and the country, but only a tool for some people. In fact. What is the meaning of the existence of the military? Even after five hundred years of chaos in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, no one can answer.
Meng Tian's decision is understandable.
All for the sake of victory, the lives of thousands of people were discarded and discarded. What's the big deal?
But Liu Kan couldn't accept it. Although the memory of his previous life has been blurred a lot in the passage of time, Liu Kan's understanding of soldiers is much deeper than others. The duty of a soldier is to defend the homeland and the country. Even those who get along with themselves day and night. The common people who fought side by side can't protect them, so what kind of soldiers are they? Thousands of soldiers, fighting until now, only a little more than a thousand remaining.
It was Liu Kan who gave hope to those people!
But in the end, that hope was nothing but an empty dream......
As the initiator, Liu Kan was difficult to accept. He couldn't accept this fate of being treated as an outcast, even if he was accompanied by Meng Mengke, he still couldn't accept it. Opposite. Meng Meng showed that it didn't matter. Maybe from the day of birth. They were doomed. They live for the First Emperor, die for the First Emperor, and the rest of the things. It doesn't matter.
The ideological gap of more than 2,000 years was vividly revealed at this time.
It is difficult to say which is right and which is wrong, in this regard, Liu Kan is not wrong, Meng Tian is not wrong, and even the Huns are not wrong.
The mistake is that this chaotic entanglement of time and space is wrong.
Liu Kan shook his head, "Let's not go to Meridian Ridge!" β
"Not going to Meridian Ridge?"
Li Cheng was stunned at first. But then a statement of understanding was made. "It's better not to go to Meridian Ridge. Our current situation is indeed not suitable for combat.
It's good to take a break. When the battle is over, we will report to the general. β
"Refresh?"
Liu Kan turned around and smiled faintly, "We really need to rest, but not now." I don't converge with the generals, not to sit idly by. On the contrary, we must take action to assist the general in fighting this battle, and we will capture Quyan. β
"Capture Quyan?"
Guan Ying couldn't help but exclaim, "What's the point of that?" β
Chen Daozi didn't understand Liu Kan's intentions at first, but quickly, he reacted, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful!" β
Meng Ke and Li Cheng immediately understood.
But the two of them immediately showed embarrassment again, and said softly: "Junhou, with our current strength, attacking Quyan is just afraid that it will not be a good decision." There are still tens of thousands of Huns in Quyan, and with our current situation, attacking Quyan is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. β
Liu Kan did not answer, but beckoned Lu Shizhi to come over.
"Little pig, tell everyone about what you have been investigating these days."
After hiding in the steep mountains, Lu Shizhi once again played the role of a scout. He led more than 100 scouts, disguised as Huns, and constantly inquired about the outside world. Moreover, Lu Shizhi was only responsible to Liu Kan, and no one knew about the information he found except Liu Kan.
Lu Shizhi said: "Quyan did have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses earlier. However, during this period of time, that is, after breaking into the north from Ali, the Huns frequently mobilized troops and horses, which seemed very abnormal. In particular, in recent days, a large number of troops have been transferred to the river crossing.
A heavy load, grain and grass, but also moved very frequently.
I also found an interesting thing, the Huyanti Department of the Linhe Ferry, recruited all the women and children of the Xiongnu tribes along the river to the Linhe Ferry. Only a group of old and sick people were left behind...... After arriving at the Linhe ferry, those women and children were all sent to Hebei. In addition, the craftsmen of the various tribes were also transferred. There are only 3,000 people left. β
This is a very important information, and Chen Daozi, Li Cheng, and Meng Ke were the first to react.
Huns, to retreat?
"How is this possible?"
Meng Ke exclaimed: "Damn the Huns, now they are fighting a decisive battle with the general in the Meridian Ridge, why do you want to do such a thing as the dome of the Huns?" If they were to retreat, wouldn't the battle in front of Touman be meaningless? β
"yes, that's not normal...... Could it be that the Huns are engaged in a conspiracy? β
Liu Kan said: "The person who stayed behind in Quyan is Mao Dun!" β
The baby was stunned, "Who is Maoton?" β
"He is the eldest son of Touman." Liu Kan thought for a moment and replied. For Mao Dun's impression, Liu Kan is not very profound. I just vaguely remember. Historically, after Liu Bang unified the Han Dynasty, he had a confrontation with Mao Dun, and as a result, he left a strange shame for the Han people: the siege of Baideng.
This Mao Dun seems to have killed his father and seized power. It's an extremely ruthless and extremely capable guy.
Therefore, when Liu Kan first heard Lu Shizhi mention the situation in Quyandi, his first reaction was: Mao Dun must have a conspiracy.
But later, after Lu Shizhi inquired about the situation of the Xiongnu. Referring to his behavior of killing his father in history, Liu Kan seems to understand something. As Chen Daozi said: Power can make everything very indifferent, and even father and son turn against each other, and brothers become enemies.
In the 500-year history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the act of killing one's father is not uncommon.
The father kills the son, and the son kills the father......
This doesn't seem surprising. Later, coupled with the news of Ali's defeat, Liu Kan also understood Mao Dun's thoughts. Maudon and Arleigh. Known as the Xiongnu double. It has a lot of prestige among the tribes, and even has a faint momentum of overdoing it. This time, Ali was used as an outcast by Touman, and he did not mean to kill people with a knife. Presumably the morton felt the pressure. So I had some different ideas.
I guess Maudun wants to be self-reliant.
He summoned the women and children of the tribes of Henan because he had a premonition that Touman would suffer a crushing defeat.
Therefore, he took precautions and transferred these women and children to Hebei in order to preserve the vitality of the Huns...... The daughter of Huyanti at the river ferry is the Yan clan of Maudun. Therefore, Huyanti will definitely support Maudun's behavior. That's why we acted.
Piglet. Maudun is now available in Quyan? β
Lu Shizhi shook his head, "According to the information we inquired about. Mao Dun left Quyan the day before yesterday and went to Linhedu with Huyanti
Now the landlord general who stays in Quyan is a close confidant of Maodundi, Sule.
This guy is very brave, and it is said that he has the courage to be unstoppable. However, he is a good drinker by nature, and he is an authentic drunkard every day. β
Liu Kan's eyes were scorching, staring at everyone.
"How? The Huns want to withdraw, and we must not let them get their wish. It is said that there are still more than 10,000 women in the city of Quyan, who are waiting to be transferred to Quyan. In the bellies of these women, the ground is full of barbarian seeds. If they are let go, they will definitely come back in the future and pose an even greater threat to us. I want to take a gamble, but I don't know, do you want to? β
Munch said: "If you follow what Little Pig says, it is not difficult to capture Quyan...... The problem is, we will face a counterattack from the Huns. β
"Yes, with our current strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist the counterattack of the Huns."
Liu Kan smiled: "I said it, this is a gamble." If we succeed, we can not only avenge the people of Fupingdi, but also assist the general in fighting the Huns. The Huns in the area of Meridian Ridge have gathered more than eighty percent of their elite.
The occupation of Quyan is like closing the door and beating dogs, and those Huns have nowhere to escape.
Moreover, after we have captured Quyan, we can still attract the forces of Maudundi to a large extent. Pinghou defeated Ali in the north, and his troops must have headed north. As long as we grasp the opportunity, the Huns in Henan will have nowhere to escape...... Then we joined up with the army and headed straight to Hebei. In this way, the Huns can be eradicated in one fell swoop, so as to eliminate future troubles forever, how? β
For everyone present, Liu Kan's words undoubtedly moved many people.
It's just that if you want to win this big war, you must grasp this opportunity. Otherwise, instead of achieving the goal, the entire army will be wiped out.
"Mother, bet!"
Meng Ji slapped his leg and shouted, "If you win, everyone will be promoted to knighthood; If you lose, you're done together...... Marquis, I'll do it with you. β
"I did it too!"
Fan Hao and Tu Tu stroked their palms in response.
Chen Daozi looked at Liu Kan quietly, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled: "The soldiers are dangerous, close the door and beat the dog!" Hehe, it's exciting, I did it. β
Liu Kan looked at the baby.
Guan Ying smiled: "You don't want to look at me, I came to Northern Xinjiang with you to earn military merits." Niang poisoned the land, Lao Tzu was aggrieved in Fuping, and he was just about to take a breath in Quyan. ,...... Men should kill people, and their achievements are all in killing! β
Munch nodded repeatedly.
Liu Kan saw that everyone agreed, and assigned the task immediately.
"Little pig, you immediately take people and try to blend in with Shuyan and do internal response. I don't care what method you use, I'm going to lurk for me.
When I attack, you must answer from the city.
It's a dangerous and daunting task. But I'm sure you kid can do it, right? β
Lu Shizhi nodded solemnly, "Brother Kan, don't worry, I can definitely do it." β
"Cheng Sima, I want you to try to get in touch with Pinghou immediately, as for how to say to Pinghou, I believe you must be clear; Alright, everyone! Success or failure is here. The people of Fuping and Xiujun Marquis are in the spirit of heaven, and they will definitely bless us and succeed. β
"Avenge the Marquis of Xiujun!"
"Avenge the people of Fuping!"
Several big hands were stacked together, and everyone looked solemn and solemnly swore an oath.
So, Li Cheng took 50 cavalry troops on the same day, went out from the mountain path of the steep mountains, and rushed towards the direction of Yiqu. LΓΌ Shizhi took a hundred old Qin soldiers, dressed up as Huns, slipped out of the Junji Ridge after dark, and lurked outside the city of Quyan, looking for an opportunity to blend into the city. Meng Kemeng and the others each led a team of soldiers and horses to take a short rest in the mountains, waiting for orders.
Liu Kan stood on the top of the mountain, but left Chen Daozi behind.
The cold moonlight shone on the top of the mountain, sprinkling a milky white frost.
Liu Kan looked at Chen Daozi quietly, and after a long time, he asked softly: "Daozi, this battle is uncertain, maybe ...... It will be our last battle. β
Chen Daozi said with a smile: "Why should the military marquis be so pessimistic? As long as we can grasp the opportunity and plan properly, we will definitely win this battle.
Where does this last battle begin? β
Liu Kan sighed, "Actually, I just want to know one thing. β
"What's the matter?"
"Daozi, who are you?"
"Huh?"
Chen Daozi was stunned and looked at Liu Kan in surprise, "Where did the military marquis start with this?" β
Liu Kan put his hands and pressed his face hard. Then, he looked up at the waning moon, "I don't know how to say it, but I don't think you should be called Chen Daozi...... Hehe, it may be funny to say, I just think that you should be called Chen Ping. β
Chen Daozi trembled slightly, looked at Liu Kan, and was speechless for a long time.
After a long while, he suddenly sighed, "Junhou, my name is indeed Chen Daozi. It's just that Daozi is my mother's name for me, and as you said, my big name is indeed Chen Ping. But I don't understand, Ping is just a nameless person, how does the military marquis know? β
