Chapter Ninety-Nine: Donghu Runs Out of Grain

Thousands of miles north of Seoul, in the camp of the Donghu army, a Donghu man covered in blood hurriedly ran to the big tent of the Chinese army: "The large eastern tribe of our army was raided by the 300,000 army of the Xiongnu at this time, and the grain route was cut off at this time."

"Your commander is not a man, only 300,000 Hun soldiers and horses. You can stop it, so you don't need to divide your troops to support? “。 King Donghu Zuoxian did not get angry immediately, but asked patiently. The 150,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the large tribes of Donghu are a self-contained system of Shan Yu's lineage. On the one hand, the rear guards ensure the grain route, and on the other hand, they are not supervising themselves. When the 300,000 Hun army attacked, the rear commander was afraid that he would take the opportunity to seize military power, so he politely refused. Otherwise, why would such a disaster occur?

The Donghu man was speechless, but bowed down deeply: "The head of my department will feel deeply guilty and have killed himself. I also ask King Zuo Xian to see that this matter is related to the rise and fall of our clan, and quickly send troops to recapture the grain road, regardless of the previous suspicions."

"Even if you don't say it, it is a matter of life and death for my army of more than 500,000 people, and this king will naturally do it." King Zuoxian of Donghu could no longer suppress his anger, and slapped the case heavily: "Quickly retreat, this king wants to discuss military affairs with the Chinese Wu."

"Yes". The Donghu man hurriedly saluted, turned around and walked out of the tent.

Seeing the man walking away, the tent Chinese Wu talked one after another, and his voice gradually increased a little unconsciously.

"Some time ago, the Huns suddenly divided 50,000 troops for some reason, and the gap between the troops and our army gradually widened. Seeing that he could defeat the Huns and occupy the steppe in one go. But I never expected that the grain road in the rear was cut off, and it was really infuriating to think about."

"Providence is so helpless, how can you and I afford to offend you and me in the lineage alone. It's just a pity that it's been wasted, and this God-given opportunity is a godsend."

At this time, the Xiongnu army was less than 400,000, but it was a pity that our army was about to run out of food. At this time, there is no other way but to return to the army and recapture the tribe."

"These Shan Yu lineages seem to want to destroy my Zuoxian Wang Court, otherwise why didn't our army send troops to support in the first place."

Looking at the indignant tent Chinese Wu, King Zuo Xian poured a full bottle of wine, and then drank it all: "The same clan, at this time, the great enemy must not be suspicious."

"Obey the orders of King Zuoxian". The tent Chinese Wu saluted the king of Donghu Zuoxian, and then the tent was quiet.

King Donghu Zuoxian glanced at the people in the tent: "The top priority is to determine the next step of our army, how to act."

"In the past, there was the headquarters of the Xiongnu Right Xianwang, and now they have less than 400,000 troops. The 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Xiongnu in the rear, although they have captured the tribe, but it is not a lie to be in the lineage. Its troops and horses are very elite. The ministers expected that those Xiongnu soldiers and horses would suffer heavy losses, and the army would be able to easily recapture the tribes and dredge the grain routes when they returned to the division." A Donghu man dressed as a civil official stood up from his seat and talked eloquently to King Zuoxian.

King Zuoxian of Donghu nodded frequently when he listened: "The analysis is reasonable, but at this time, our army is the first to defeat the headquarters of the Xiongnu Right Xianwang." Or the Hui army to recapture the tribe and dredge the grain road".

"The minister thinks that how to make a choice does not lie in our army." When the Donghu civil official said this, he sold a pass.

The right virtuous king of Donghu was puzzled, and all the civil and military forces were also puzzled, and there was a trace of doubt in their eyes.

"Why can't our army make its own decisions?".

"Jokes, our army can't make decisions on their own, who else can help me make a decision."

"Is there really anything else?"

Listening to everyone's discussions, the civil official saluted King Zuoxian of Donghu, and then asked: "Dare to ask King Xian with the strength of our army, can he defeat the headquarters of the Xiongnu Right Xianwang?" With the strength of our army, can we return to the army, recapture the tribal garrison, and restore the smooth flow of grain routes".

"Whether it is to defeat the Xiongnu Right Xian King in the front, or to recapture the tribe in the back, these two things can be done with the strength of our army." Donghu Zuoxianwang's tone was extremely firm, and he was full of confidence in these two things.

The civil official smiled and asked again: "If King Xian divides his troops and attacks the headquarters of the Xiongnu Right King in front at the same time, and whether it will be possible for the Hui army to recapture the tribe."

"This ......". Donghu Zuoxian Wang was speechless, and then smiled.

The civil official understood and explained for King Donghu Zuoxian: "If the army is divided into two, it is not feasible. It's just that the lower officials don't know if King Xian has thought about it, how long will it take for our army to defeat the headquarters of the right Xianwang of the Huns."

"Fast is half a year, slow is not known for several years". King Zuoxian of Donghu replied truthfully, of course, this was under the condition that Shan Yu did not send additional reinforcements.

When the civil official heard the answer, he continued to ask: "What if the Hui army recaptures the tribal garrison and restores the grain route?"

"One hit can be broken". Donghu blurted out subconsciously, but hesitated after speaking. It was not easy for him to lead the army to occupy a certain advantage, but he was still a little reluctant to give up at this time.

Looking at the reluctant appearance of King Donghu Zuoxian, the civil official asked again: "I wonder if King Xian has ever thought about how much grain and grass our army still has at this time."

"Grain and grass, how can this king not think about it." King Zuoxian of Donghu instantly understood the intention of the civilian official, and it turned out that Rao Yihuan was tactfully persuading himself to return to the army, thinking of this, he looked around at the Chinese martial arts: "How much grain and grass does our army have at this time."

"King Qiyu, the last general has been liquidated. At present, the grain and grass in stock can only last for half a month." A Donghu military general stood up from his seat, saluted King Zuoxian, and immediately reported it.

As soon as the general's voice fell, there was an uproar in the tent, and the discussion resumed.

"Half a month of grain and grass, it seems that our army has to return to the army immediately."

"These Huns are really hateful, their main force is obviously fighting against the Ding Ling clan in the far north, but they don't know where these soldiers and horses came from."

"This time it was our army's carelessness, otherwise it would have been so much, and these Huns who suddenly came out would have been caught off guard."

"I hate that Yan country, otherwise why would my clan be so passive."

"Half a month of grain and grass, it seems that the withdrawal of troops should be sooner rather than later."

Listening to these discussions, King Donghu Zuoxian raised his hand slightly, and there was silence in the tent for a moment: "There is no food and grass in the army, and this king intends to withdraw the army and recapture the tribe to dredge the grain road." I don't know what you think."

"We will obey the orders of the virtuous king." A group of civil and military officers hurriedly stood up from their seats and bowed to King Donghu Zuoxian to receive the order.

King Donghu Zuoxian nodded with satisfaction, and the group of civil and military officers immediately turned around. Seeing this, the civil official immediately spoke: "King Xian, everyone, don't forget that our army retreats, there are still 400,000 Hun soldiers and horses."

"Withdrawing the army in a hurry, once it is attacked by the Huns on both sides, I am afraid that it will not be a good thing for our army." The words of the civil officials reminded the people in the tent, and those civil and military officials immediately turned to look at King Zuo Xian.

King Zuoxian of Donghu pondered, and after a while, he ordered: "Leave 100,000 soldiers and horses to deploy on the spot, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will follow the king back to the army and recapture the tribe to dredge the grain road."

"Yes". A group of civil and military officials hurriedly saluted, and then turned around and walked out. King Donghu Zuoxian looked at the officials who were going out, and gradually fell into deep thought.
