Li Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Yes, yes, now the credit is Wu Kui alone, how many of us don't have any big credit?" As he spoke, Li Xiaoquan sat down in front of the sand table and saw that the generals around him had arrived, Zhang Jie, Zhang Meng, Ma Yuan, Hao Zhan, the commander of Wu Kuijun's first division, and the current acting commander, all looked at Jiang Hexing.

Jiang Hexing pointed at the sand table with a white stick and said: "Look, King Zuoxian's camp is the same as the previous pasture, either by the river or around the lake. You see there is a big lake in the middle of them, and there are camps within a radius of more than ten miles. The whole week is meadow, and the high point is some hills, and there is no special terrain. According to the report of the spies, this time King Zuo Xian gathered more than 120,000 cavalry, about 40,000 people attacked Wu Kui a few days ago, we killed 20,000 people, some were captured, and some also took advantage of the chaos to escape and did not come back.

King Zuoxian's current army is about 80,000 people, hundreds of thousands of war horses gathered, and the pastures that stretch for dozens of miles in the south are all their logistical supplies.

We have a total of 5 corps, a special operations division, and a total strength of more than 50,000 troops. ”

Zhang Jie said: "The Huns have learned to ride sheep since they were young, and they grew up riding horses, and they are more familiar than their own families, although they don't use stirrups now, but they have a rope sleeve under their feet, and they can fix themselves." They fought with horses first, coming fast, rushing fiercely, like lightning, like a flood, fighting a fast, strong impact, once the war started, it was like a mountain and a sea, and the Han army suffered a lot in this regard.

Their characteristic is that they can fight with the wind, and once they suffer losses again and again, their momentum is gone, and at this time they will be in trouble, and everyone will want to run. Although it is not good for their battle situation, it is still very good for preserving their strength. They are all cavalry, and once they run, no one can help them in this sea-like grassland. It's easy for outsiders to get lost, but they're familiar with it themselves.

In terms of our combat strength, the chances of winning against them are still relatively large, but once defeated, we are afraid that they will flee in all directions, and when their cavalry is distributed among the vast sea of grass, we will be helpless.

Therefore, my idea is that it is better to send someone over now, and the reason is to send the corpse of that general Zuo. One, you can probe their reality and reality. Second, it is best to arouse their hatred for us, so that they can have a sense of revenge, and they will not easily flee without a big war, after all, they also have various generals in them to control at all levels.

Three, it can be regarded as a war letter for them, to see if they dare to fight. What do you guys think? ”

The generals glanced at each other, and felt that Zhang Jie was reasonable, now that he has few soldiers, if he is fully surrounded, the troops will be thin, and the Huns will choose a weak point at will, and rush over with the momentum of the cavalry Mount Tai, and it is estimated that they will not be able to resist it at that time.

If they were killed directly, the Huns would see that the Pingzhou soldiers were so powerful that they might run away and it would be difficult to achieve the goal of annihilation.

Ma Yuan stood up and said, "He Wang, second brother, shall I go?" ”

Jiang Hexing waved his hand and said: "Ma Yuan, your task is not light, the northwest side will wait for you to go back immediately, when the Hun cavalry comes, it will always be faster than we imagined, you have to be prepared, we will not suffer from the enemy." ”

Ma Yuan nodded and sat down again.

Zhang Meng stood up and said, "He Wang, second brother, how about I go?" ”

Jiang Hexing looked at Zhang Meng and did not speak.

Zhang Jie turned his head, looked at Zhang Meng and said, "Do you understand what I mean?" ”

Zhang Meng said: "Second brother, I understand it this way, first, I went to the Huns, and I wanted to use the corpse of General Zuo to inspire their hatred for us. Second, show our combat power and let them know how good we are, but it is better to have some mistakes in the details, showing that we are a little afraid of them. In this way, they think that we have fought hard in the previous two battles, and now we have suffered heavy casualties, and it is better to make them look down on us, or at least not to make them afraid.

Third, it shows our true determination to avenge the people of the border counties, and the executioners we killed will not be left behind. The more we say this, the more they think we're just talking.

Fourth, strive for a date for the battle. ”

Zhang Jie nodded again and again: "Okay, that's it, there is a sentence I will give you, 'Please be better than excited'." ”

Everyone had no objection, and the next day, Ma Yuan returned to his camp and explained again before leaving the river.

Here put the body of General Zuo in the coffin, although it was late spring, the weather was not very hot, and there was no smell, so I found a four-wheeled carriage and placed the coffin.

Zhang Meng led a company of people, half of them were special combat soldiers, and the other half found student soldiers from Hao Zhan, each of whom was only about 17 years old, and they looked extremely tender.

Zhang Meng was ready, and with the convoy and half of the horse team, he headed south.

All the way is full of flowers and green grass, and the white clouds float by, but everyone has no intention of watching. Therefore, they went very quickly, and at about noon, they saw endless Hun tents.

At this moment, a group of men and horses galloped out of the tent, each holding a bow and arrow, shouting loudly in their mouths, around the bend, surrounding Zhang Meng and others in the middle.

Zhang Meng and the others were not frightened, although they were preparing in their hands, they were more pointing to the coffin to show the Huns.

The Huns saw that Zhang Meng and the others did not move, and a person who looked like a leader rode to Zhang Meng's car.

Zhang Meng stopped the carriage, and the man got into the carriage, lifted the lid of the coffin, looked inside, and looked at Zhang Meng with angry eyes.

Zhang Meng did not show weakness, the two stared at each other for a while, the general jumped out of the carriage, shouting, at this time a war horse flew back to the Hun camp.

The Huns looked at Zhang Meng and the others, the war horses turned around a few times, and after all, they didn't make a move, and after a while, two war horses galloped from the south.

The soldiers who had just returned to the camp brought back an old man of about 50 years old, who, like the other Huns, had a hair that was yellow and yellow.

The old man came directly to Zhang Meng's car, and like the leader just now, he got into the car and took a look, and then said to Zhang Meng and the others: "You sent the corpse of General Zuo?" ”

Zhang Meng nodded.

The old man pointed to the leader just now and said, "This is the third prince of King Zuoxian, named Zuo Xianjiao, if there is anything you can tell him, I can translate." ”

Zhang Meng took a closer look at this horn, and saw that he was wearing a golden helmet and gold armor, which was particularly bright, and he was also holding a horn bow in his hand, and the war horse was snow-white, half a head higher than the average war horse, and he saw that it must be a good horse.

Zhang Meng said: "Third Prince, I sent you the corpse of General Zuo, why, don't you dare to let me in?" ”

The horn immediately arched his hand and said, and the interpreter hurriedly said, "The third prince invites all the warriors to enter." ”

As he spoke, he took the horses with him, led the men and horses to the front to open the way, and Zhang Meng and others followed closely behind.
