Chapter 90 The Governor of the Huns
In the western part of the steppe, a large tribe. The sound of hurried footsteps came from the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, and a Hun man quickly ran to a room holding a roll of bamboo slips with both hands, and handed it to the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat: "Qiyu Dadu Governor, Dadanghu Urgent Report."
"Raid by the Donghu Army". The Xiongnu Governor opened the bamboo slip and looked at it carefully, and was shocked.
Another sound of footsteps came, and a Hun soldier bowed and saluted: "The governor of the capital and the big danghu have lost 30,000 soldiers, and now the large tribes in the south are surrounded by the Donghu army, and the situation is as dangerous as an egg."
"How many soldiers and horses did the Donghu army have". The Xiongnu governor hurriedly asked.
The Hun soldiers pondered, and looked at the governor for a while: "No less than 70,000 troops."
"Seventy thousand". The Xiongnu governor weighed in his heart that there should be 20,000 people in the Dadanghu department, and the large tribes in the south should not be lost, so they should quickly send troops to rescue at this time.
Seeing that the Metropolitan Governor was pondering, all the generals in the house spoke one after another.
"If the large tribes of the south are lost, the hinterland of the steppe in the middle of our tribe will be wide open."
"Judging by the actions of these enemy troops, it should be a plan to cut off food. In this way, the food supply of our army was cut off, so that the army of the Right Xianwang in the north fell into the predicament of lack of food."
"The Metropolitan Governor's army should immediately send troops to the rescue."
The Governor of the Huns glanced at the people in the room: "Rescue is to be saved, but how our army should save and how many soldiers and horses to send."
"The last general thinks that it must not be less than 60,000, otherwise it will be useless." A Xiongnu general stood up from his seat and saluted the governor.
The governor of the Xiongnu looked at the general: "If Donghu sends two armies, one to attack the large tribes in the south, and at the same time sends one to attack directly from the east to the west, what can be done."
"Dadu Governor Mingjian, according to the news of our army's inquiry. The army left behind in Donghu was only 150,000 soldiers and horses. Even if a large army were sent to attack, would they not be afraid that our army would behave in the same way? “。 The general asked rhetorically.
As soon as the words fell, the generals discussed: "This is true, there are 70,000 soldiers and horses in Donghu besieging Dadanghu, but before the siege, Donghu wiped out 30,000 troops in Dadanghu, so it can be inferred that Donghu's troops should be no less than 100,000 people."
"It is impossible for the rear of Donghu not to leave behind the troops to prevent changes in the northern battlefield."
"The battle line between our clan and Donghu is too long, and if there are no troops to guard the grain road, I am afraid that there will be big problems."
"Even if there is a change, our army only needs to leave 30,000 soldiers to deal with any sudden changes."
The Hun Governor listened to the generals' discussions, kept weighing in his heart, and felt that what the generals said was reasonable: "Send 70,000 troops to ask for help, can you defeat the Donghu soldiers and horses in one fell swoop."
"The 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Dadanghu are guarded according to the tribal station, and the fierce attack of the Donghu people is not easy to take. If the Metropolitan Governor leads a large army to the rescue, he can find a way to send people to secretly pass through the Donghu defense line. Make an appointment with the big pawn and attack the Donghu soldiers and horses together, and a big victory is just around the corner." The generals talked eloquently, and the rest of the generals in the room nodded in agreement.
The governor of the Xiongnu was moved, and his eyes swept over the generals: "If our army leaves 30,000 troops to defend, how will you defend it."
"There are 10,000 places to hoard grain, and 20,000 soldiers are stationed among the tribes." One of the generals stood up and saluted the Grand Governor.
The governor of the Xiongnu looked at the general who stood up, and asked him rhetorically: "Why is the Marquis of Gudu so stationed."
"If the enemy comes, he will attack the tribal garrison, but the place where the grain is hoarded must be guarded." Gudu Hou explained to the Hun Governor.
The generals glanced at each other, their eyes were full of disbelief, and they all questioned: "The place where grain is hoarded is extremely secret, and it is impossible for the Donghu people to find out."
"If there is really an attack by the Donghu army, 30,000 soldiers and horses are already insufficient, and it is harmful to divide troops to garrison at this time."
"The best way is to combine the forces in one place, and after the Dadu Governor and Dadanghu are defeated and invade the Donghu army in our south, the overall situation will be decided."
"Once the two Donghu armies are defeated, our troops only need to divide one army. You can go to the east and cut off the Donghu grain road in one fell swoop. At that time, the central steppe will definitely belong to my Xiongnu."
Listening to these doubts, Guduhou shook his head slightly: "Be prepared, even if the Donghu army comes to attack, the advantages of our army to garrison grain and grass will outweigh the disadvantages." When both sides are tired, send troops from the land of grain hoarding to attack the two armies, and perhaps they can break Donghu without the return of the capital governor. At that time, our army could also go to the south to reinforce the Grand Governor. Or directly wave the army to the east and attack the hinterland of Donghu in the central steppe."
"It's not bad to have troops stationed in the land of grain hoarding, and the tribal garrison to be horns for each other." The Hun Governor nodded again and again when he listened, and the idea of the Gudu Marquis was very meritorious.
A military general couldn't help but interject and asked: "Governor, do we need to report this matter to King Youxian?"
"The Right Virtuous King is fighting in the north and the main force of Donghu, since there are us here, why are you still distracted by the Right Virtuous King?" The Hun Governor asked rhetorically, with a trace of displeasure in his heart. Report to the Right Xian King to ask for reinforcements, isn't this just a transformation to say that he is incompetent and not optimistic about this battle? .
Seeing that the Xiongnu Metropolitan Governor was displeased, the military general smiled: "The lesson of the Metropolitan Governor is that these Donghu people are just clowns jumping off the beam, how can they disturb the Yaxing of the Right Xian King."
"Our army of 100,000 troops, plus the department of the big household, why not be afraid of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in this district." A group of generals flattered one after another.
"Please also ask the Metropolitan Governor to let the last general be the vanguard, and he will definitely break the Donghu soldiers and horses invading from the south."
"Our army is 100,000, and we are attacking inside and outside, how can Donghu be undefeated."
"Please give the order of the Metropolitan Governor, let me wait as a pioneer."
Listening to the words of asking for war, a trace of displeasure appeared on the face of the Hun governor: "You are waiting to ask for war, but who wants to stay."
The generals looked at each other, but they were silent. Everyone is brave when they go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but if you want to say that this is left behind, who will be willing to accept it.
"Who wants to stay". The Grand Governor of the Huns asked again, and a trace of anger gradually grew in his tone.
A general cautiously glanced at the Xiongnu Metropolitan Governor: "The Metropolitan Governor is not that we are unwilling to stay, but that the people who stay behind may not be able to kill the enemy."
"You can expect that Donghu will not attack?" The Hun governor laughed angrily.
The generals glanced at each other and hurriedly explained: "Donghu has only 150,000 troops, how can they come out of the nest, and this rescue in the south must be ......a victory."
"Enough, fight for merit one by one, lest you fall behind. Let you stay behind, but you shirk it like this." The governor of the Huns couldn't hold back his anger anymore, what kind of virtue these generals under his command were, he probably didn't know.
Seeing this, the Marquis of Gudu sighed in his heart, and saluted to the Governor of the Huns: "Governor, since all the generals want to go into battle to kill the enemy." Xiao Hou is not talented, and he is willing to stay in the rear for the governor of the capital."
"Okay, the Governor of this country will order your troops to be stationed in the rear. The rest of the generals, together with the Governor of Benda, led their troops to the south to support." Listening to the words of the Gudu Marquis, the anger of the Dadu Governor gradually disappeared, and he immediately ordered as if he was afraid of repentance.
The generals breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the Gudu Marquis gratefully, and then saluted the Metropolitan Governor: "Take the order."
As soon as the words fell, everyone rushed out. After a while, a long trumpet sounded, and the Governor galloped south with his army.
