Chapter 100: The Huns Pursue
The camp of the right Xianwang of the Huns, in the big tent of the Chinese army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiongnu Youxian King sat on the seat, looked at the map spread out on the desk, and gradually showed a contemplative look: "In the past two days, the Donghu camp has suddenly quieted down for some reason, and the offensive is a little weaker than a few days ago.
"Qiqi Youxian King, during this time, Xia Guan has been paying close attention to the situation in the rear. The Donghu army has been repairing since the capture of our two large tribes in the south and west, and has not made any move." A Hun man dressed as a civil official stood up from his seat and saluted the right king of the Huns.
The Xiongnu Youxian King was still a little uneasy, and continued to ask: "The Donghu army has been a little abnormal in the past two days, and this king is worried that our army's grain route may be in danger."
"Yesterday, Xiaguan received a bamboo slip from General Zuo, saying that everything is normal for the large tribes in the north, and there is nothing abnormal about the smooth flow of grain routes." The civil official remembered General Zuo's bamboo slips and continued to explain.
The right general stood up from his seat and saluted to the right virtuous king of the Huns: "If the virtuous king is not at ease, the last general will ask for his life." personally led the troops and horses of the headquarters to the northern tribes to find out the news."
"Now the strength of our army is not as large as the Donghu people on the other side, and it is absolutely impossible to divide the troops at this time." The left and right generals are the two most powerful generals in the court of the Right Xian King, and they are also the henchmen of the Right Xian King.
The right general thought for a while, and suggested to the right Xianwang: "If the Xianwang is worried, it is better to send more soldiers to find out the news."
"It's okay too". King Youxian nodded slightly, and shouted outside the tent: "Someone."
"See the Right Virtuous King". Two Hun soldiers lifted the door of the tent, walked inside, and then saluted the right king.
The Xiongnu Right Xian King commanded the two soldiers: "Send the order down, send a dozen cavalry to the large northern tribes to inquire about the news, and report anything abnormal at any time."
"Yes". The two Hun soldiers bowed down to receive the order, then turned and walked out of the tent.
Seeing the two soldiers walking away, the tent door was lowered again. In the heart of the right virtuous king of the Huns, a trace of worry rose.
The sound of hurried footsteps came, and a Hun general hurriedly opened the tent door and saluted to the right Xianwang: "Xianwang has an urgent military situation, and the Donghu army has returned to the division in a big way as early as two days ago." At this time, what we are facing is nothing more than 100,000 Donghu soldiers and horses."
"Back to the teacher? Why did Donghu return to the teacher". The Xiongnu Right Xian King obviously couldn't believe the news, at this time, the Donghu people had the advantage, and it was impossible to give up so easily.
The general took out a roll of bamboo slips and handed it to King Youxian: "King Xian, this is a colleague of the last general, and he entrusted the last general to send the news."
"Colleague? What's the news? Is this person reliable? “。 The right king of the Xiongnu did not open it to watch, instead of asking the generals.
The general nodded, and promised to King Youxian: "At the end of the past, I will work with him in the royal court for a period of time, and this person will definitely not tell lies."
"Yes". The Xiongnu Youxian King dealt with it absentmindedly, and then opened the bamboo slips, and a trace of surprise spread from his heart: "The 300,000 troops sent by the royal court have captured the large tribes of Donghu in one fell swoop, and if their food routes are cut off, it is no wonder that they will return to the division in a hurry."
"After receiving this bamboo slip, the last general was also suspicious, so the last general personally led a few soldiers to the Donghu camp to investigate, only to find that the main force of the Donghu people had already left for two days." The general talked eloquently to the Xiongnu Right Sage King, if he hadn't verified it himself, how dare he hand this bamboo slip to the Right Sage King.
Pinched the bamboo slip with his hand, King Youxian seemed to think of something, and the surprise dissipated instantly: "No, there is a problem here."
"Questions?". The general was puzzled, and subconsciously looked at the civil and military officials in the tent, and saw that they were also misty, and his heart was even more puzzled.
The civil and military officials glanced at each other, and they couldn't interject at all in the discussion just now, so they naturally started talking at this time.
"There are indeed some problems, why didn't the Donghu army run into the hinterland of the central grassland of our tribe and attack everywhere."
"The road between our army and the royal court is smooth, why haven't we received any news from the royal court."
"If the Donghu people were not robbed because of the grain route, then why would they give up the advantage at this time and immediately return to the army?"
"There are many doubts in it, and people can't understand it."
When the general heard these words, his face turned pale and he immediately defended to King Youxian: "The last will guarantee with his life, the main force of the Donghu people has withdrawn to the rear, and there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses in the camp at this time. If it weren't for what the bamboo slips said, why would the Donghu people do this."
"Are you sure there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Donghu camp at this time." Listening to the voice of the general, the civil and military officials immediately stopped talking. The right virtuous king of the Huns looked at the general suspiciously.
The general knelt on the ground: "If the virtuous king doesn't believe it, he can send a large army to attack, and it will naturally be clear at a glance." If there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the camp of Donghu, the last general is willing to apologize for his crimes."
"Why do you need to be so troublesome, please ask King Xian for permission to go to the tent to summon the horses and ask them." The right general immediately wanted to ask for the right king's life.
The Xiongnu Right Xian King pondered for a while, and then agreed: "Quasi."
When the right general heard this, he immediately turned around and walked out of the tent.
After a while, the right general returned to the right sage king and saluted: "Qi Yu sage king, Fang Cai will summon the exploration horse." From all indications, it can be inferred that there should be no more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Donghu camp opposite."
"God help me". King Youxian was overjoyed, swept away the pressure during this time, and showed a trace of arrogance between his eyebrows.
Seeing that the Right Xian King seemed to be about to give an order, the two of them stopped.
"The virtuous king can't, this bamboo slip is obviously full of loopholes, and if you attack rashly at this time, you may be ambushed by the Donghu people."
"For the sake of insurance, please also ask King Xian to think twice before acting, and it is most appropriate to find out the authenticity of the bamboo slips first."
"Virtuous King ......".
A look of displeasure emerged, and all the Wenwu immediately shut up and stopped talking. A sneer appeared at the corner of King Youxian's mouth: "In this central grassland, except for my Xiongnu and Donghu, the rest are rats who can't get on the table." Even if this bamboo slip is fake, what can it do? As long as it is proved that the main force of Donghu on the opposite side has retreated, then for this king, this is enough."
"What King Xian said is reasonable, except for my clan and Donghu in the central grassland. Then there are only Ding Ling in the Far North, but they are at war with the royal court. Even if you want to capture the central steppe, the march route must first pass through our camp. But we didn't find them, so I can rule out Ding Ling. In addition, it is Lin Hu and Lou Fu in the south, the small clan and the weak country want to occupy the central grassland, which is tantamount to a fool's dream." The right general analyzed the people in the tent for a while.
All the civil and military officers nodded one after another, and when King Youxian saw that they were no longer in the way, he immediately ordered: "Take the 200,000 army as the vanguard and attack the Donghu camp." If it turns out that our inference is not wrong, then the king is personally leading the rest of his troops and horses to attack. At that time, he broke 100,000 soldiers and horses of Donghu and pursued the main force of Donghu along the way. annihilated the Donghu people in one fell swoop and completely occupied the central grasslands".
"Yes". Everyone in the tent hurriedly stood up from their seats, saluted the right virtuous king of the Huns, and bowed down to receive the order. Then he turned around and came out.
