[Chapter 8 Walking in All Directions, Traveling and Scattering]

When Pang Tong was about to be scared to pee in the king's tent, Shen Yun was actually scared a lot.

It seems that after arriving at the Tyumen River, his good luck ran out.

"Guest officer, our store's new golden lamb, I wonder if you want to taste it?"

The "Ceylon Inn" in Tyumen City welcomed a new group of guests. Wearing a small hat with a rounded corner in the Chinese style and a sweat scarf, the cousin introduced the guests in proficient Chinese.

"Don't say anything new or new, just take care of the hungry." A big fat man sat down in his seat and shouted.

Seeing that the other guests didn't say anything, the cousin nodded and smiled, ready to make arrangements. At this time, another young man, who was obviously in the lead, said: "Don't listen to him, get us a few delicate side dishes, the golden lamb can do, and if there are any, make a few light dishes." Then we were given two upper rooms and eight ordinary rooms. Go ahead! ”

As he spoke, the young man threw a big Han copper coin to the cousin as a tip. The cousin smiled happily and went happily.

After taking his seat, the young man glared at the fat man unceremoniously and said in a low voice, "What are you yelling about?" We are now a business traveler, and we are the most powerful Yan family business house in Dahan, so of course we must eat well. If you talk nonsense, I'll let you play as a buddy, and then you can eat hard and carry your hunger. ”

The fat man stuck out his tongue weakly, grinning disapprerovingly.

This group of people is naturally Shen Yun and others. This time when he entered the city, Shen Yun only brought three officers, Pang Tong, Zhao Xin, and Wang Lun, and selected twenty clever soldiers from the guard song. They didn't go to the city to eat or drink, and they didn't want to know about the so-called situation - Tyumen was a shopping mall, and there weren't too many secrets to speak of, and the merchants who came and went had already inquired about the situation here. For the nomadic Huns, cities were simply places that provided wealth. It doesn't matter if you can defend it or not, so it's not difficult to find out about the city defense situation at the head of the city.

The main purpose of their entry into the city was to be in the king's tent in the inner city.

The royal tent in the inner city is undoubtedly the most well-defended place in the entire Tyumen city. On the whole, however, Uryuzhu's management of Tyumen reached a point where it was almost perfect in this era. It's a bit of a free city. For example, there is only a banner army of Zhenghuang Banner stationed in the entire city for thirty miles, and this flag army is not all placed in the city, but only one flag regiment is in the outer city, and one battalion of elite is in the inner city. The rest of the army was in the barracks to the east outside the city.

Of course, for Tyumen City, there is more to the defense than that. As long as King Zuoxian's order banner is transmitted, all the tribes in a radius of 1,000 miles will come to inquire about it. At the same time, there are further places, as long as they belong to the subordinates of King Zuoxian, they will be ordered by King Qin. The fastest time is that two flag regiments will arrive in two days, and four will arrive in three days. By the sixth day, there will be more than seven, and in fifteen days, the entire young men of the Zuo Xian Wang's department can be recruited - of course. The recruited young men also need to be allocated weapons. Organizing the troops, these armies are called "Keba Army", and the combat effectiveness is not mentioned, but these preparation times alone will consume a period of time. The army that can really quickly form combat power is the positive yellow flag, which only takes two hours, followed by the yellow flag on the periphery. It will take a day to reach Tyumen, and it may take another three to four hours to form combat power.

For the Red Fox Division, which only has 3,600 people, no one would think about fighting after they have formed a combat force.

Shen Yun groaned and said to Wang Lun: "It will take four hours for the Zhenghuang Banner to be concentrated, which means that once we launch it. It must be out of the house within an hour and a half. Now, it's up to you to see if that Zuo Xian King is really as wise as you say. ”

Wang Lun said with a smile: "Speaking of wisdom, I think King Zuo Xian is not as good as the commander, at least the commander has already made the first move, and he still doesn't know anything." ”

Shen Yun laughed: "Wang Lun, your kung fu is deeply hidden!" Ben Shuai listened very comfortably, hahahaha! ”

On the side, Pang Tong stuffed a piece of roasted crispy yellow tender meat in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Ministry Shuai, I can also shoot your very comfortable ......"

"Eat yours! This and the chicken leg can't stop your mouth! Shen Yun scolded with a smile.

At this time, the cousin stepped forward and said with a sneer: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is King Zuo Xian's protector outside to find the chief of the distinguished guest, I don't know ......?" ”

Shen Yun and Wang Lun glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: Look, I've taken the bait.

Pang Tong swallowed hard in his mouth, stood up and said, "I am." What is the matter with King Zuoxian's protector looking for me? ”

Shen Yun sat straight, and drank tea lightly.

The cousin didn't know, but he just led two Hu Yu who were wearing Xiongnu left robes and had half of their braided hair to walk in. The tone of these two protectors was not as polite as that of the cousin, looking at Pang Tong's eyes with a faint hostility, but the basic politeness was still there. One of them stroked his chest a little and said, "I am the protector of the great Zuoxian King, did your Excellency mention that Ku Yuan Mobu was attacked by the Han army?" King Hyun would like to ask you to come over and ask for details! ”

Pang Tong first showed a simple smile, swallowed the meat in his throat hard, and then his neck stalked, his complexion suddenly changed, and he was as awe-inspiring as an iron-faced loyal minister: "Your Excellency must have forgotten that I am a Han!" ”

Na Hu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then expressionlessly took out a money bag from his left robe, put it in his hand and checked it, and the sound of coins colliding inside made the cousin next to him show envious eyes.

And Pang Tong's performance was even more unbearable, the loyal minister's face changed instantly, and the flattering and cartilage traitor was simply "Bank of China Said" (Note 1) resurrected, his hand had already reached out, he held the money bag tightly, and said in his mouth: "Haha, haha, but I am also a businessman!" ”

A hint of disgust appeared on Hu's expressionless face,

But on the surface, he still said lightly: "Very good, then please come with us, right?" ”

"Of course, of course!" Pang Tong clutched his chest tightly and followed Hu Yu out, while saying a lot of sensual sycophants with a flattering smile on his face.

Wang Lun squinted his eyes, and couldn't help but whisper to Shen Yun worriedly: "Ministry marshal, Pang Tong won't really be the Bank of China, right?" ”

Shen Yun pinched his chin, watched Pang Tong's back go away, and said worriedly: "It's really hard to say, that servile expression, I really want to beat him out of anger when I see it!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" Wang Lun's face was deeply worried.

Shen Yun turned his head and patted Wang Lun and said, "Damn." What do you think, people are the children of nobles, can the Huns be more expensive than our Han princes? Hurry up and prepare to go, let Zhao Xin and them come in too! ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Lun smiled and hurriedly went out to make arrangements

………………………… Dividing line ..............................

Tyumen is a shopping mall with a population of more than 30,000, which is less than the number of a Kumimobu. But in fact, the population of Tyumen, as the royal city of King Zuoxian, can far exceed 100,000. The reason why there is only a population of 30,000 is that Wuliuzhu did not want to change the nomadic habits of the Huns at all. In the royal court a large part of the Xiongnu people have embarked on the Han style of life of farming and settlement, but here. King Zuo Xian himself did not like the way of life of the Han people.

In his view, if a nation wants to maintain its vigorous vitality and combat effectiveness, nomadism is the best way to temper it. Although the Han people's lifestyle is good, it is easy for people to fall into comfort and make them reluctant to make progress. Eventually, it sank.

The debate over the merits of nomadism and farming began after the establishment of schools in the time of the Holy Ancestors, and in the end there was no result. After all, people are inert. The decision on the way of life is not in the hands of some people. And the productivity of the whole society. If the technology is not reached, even if you want to be comfortable, you will not be able to do it. On the contrary, who would have to work hard when they could comfortably obtain survival resources?

It's an opposing but interconnected point of view.

Wu Liuzhu didn't like the farming lifestyle of the Han people, but he liked the fat people. This can be seen from his most powerful assistant, Ku Yuanmo.

Fat people often give people a sense of honesty and reliability, and Pang Tong gives Wu Liuzhu such a feeling.

Originally, it was confirmed that the news of the Ministry of Ku Yuan Mo was implemented. Wu Liuzhu didn't have to go out in person, but after seeing Pang Tong, Wu Liuzhu instantly changed his attitude and asked Pang Tong to sit down in the king's tent with a smile. And let people send milk tea.

"Shopkeeper Pang, come, this is our Hun people's milk tea, it must be difficult for you to drink it in Handi, right?" Wu Liuzhu is dressed quite formally, wearing a crown inlaid with Western opal on her head, and her eyes are gentle.

Pang Tong looked flattered, held the milk tea bowl high above his head, and said with sincere fear: "With the love of King Zuoxian, Xiao Ke is really fortunate to be able to enter the king's tent." As for milk tea, don't hide it from the prince, Xiao Ke can still drink it in Handi, but it is the first time I have tasted such an authentic taste. Thank you, Lord Wang! ”

King Zuo Xian smiled and nodded. If Pang Tong dared to agree with him and said that he had indeed not drunk, this was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and what such a person said next was not so convincing. Pang Tong's answer gave Wu Liuzhu the desire to continue asking.

"I don't know when the shopkeeper Pang came from Ku Yuan Mobu? What kind of situation did you say about being attacked by the Han army? Wu Liuzhu asked in a tone that pretended not to care.

Pang Tong had surprise on his face, but he was sincerely afraid, the two expressions were intertwined, and he really had the potential to be an actor, so he only heard him say: "King Qiqi Zuoxian, our Yan Clan Commercial Bank originally planned to go north, after all, the toss of the Yue Clan's rebels in Beihai Prefecture has been defeated by our Han army...... We arrived half a month ago, and on the way we found that the Xiongnu army was preparing to fight with our Han, and it seemed that we had suffered a small loss...... On the night of our arrival in Ku Yuan Mobu, the Han army suddenly attacked Ku Yuan Mobu, fortunately we have the business records of the Yan family's trading house, and it is Han, so the Han army did not embarrass us too much, but our goods were requisitioned for the military, in desperation, I had to bring some strong guys here, hoping to recover some losses, after all, this year's case is more than our Mobei branch is already insufficient, if we can not complete the example, then I am afraid our job will not be able to keep! The head of the Yan family is still very strict! ”

Wu Liuzhu nodded as she listened. A large part of the news about Pang Tong's caravan has already been reported, and Pang Tong's words are true and false, and Wu Liuzhu can't accurately judge it for a while. After a deep groan, he raised his voice and said, "Chagama, what do you say? ”

Outside the king's tent, a person immediately rushed in, knelt at Wu Liuzhu's feet, and said, "Great King Zuoxian, how could your most loyal servant deceive you?!" Half a month, half a month ago, we were indeed not attacked by the Han army, even the day I set off was fine. However, it is true that the Yue's people are about to be defeated in Beihai Prefecture, and it is also true that the Red Banner and the Han army are not in a good battle...... But your most loyal servant's lackey will not deceive you! Great King Zuoxian, please think about it. If it was true that the Mobu was attacked, then why didn't the Red Banner General send someone back to report? ”

Chagama's last words made Uruzhu ponder, touching the beard on his chin and silent.

Pang Tong wet his back in a cold sweat after listening to it - this person sounds like he is also a person from Ku Yuan Mobu, how can anyone arrive in Tyumen City faster than us? What to do? Hou Ye didn't tell me about this situation! In that case, will King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu send troops to check on the Mobu of Kuyuan?

Pang Tong's face was calm and light, but his heart began to be restless.

Shen Yun's plan is no longer just a dangerous operation, it is simply bold. He planned with Fang Cheng for a long time, and the goal was to capture the city of Tyumen, or to capture the Xiongnu King Zuoxian. But either way, it was impossible for the previous Han army to accomplish it.

In this day and age. It's not uncommon to run thousands of miles, but it's really unique to abandon the army and attack the opponent's foundation alone. Even Chen Tang, the Marquis of Pohu Zhuang, who shouted "Those who commit a strong man and a strong man, will be punished even if they are far away", only dared to lead 300 people to make a name for themselves in the Wusun Palace when the army was pressing! Not to mention. At this time, the Han Dynasty did not start another war against the Xiongnu, and the undeclared war was not something that the Han army, which boasted of the Heavenly Dynasty, was willing to do.

But Zuo Xianwang never expected it. I met a big Han man who likes to "fight without declaring" and "war must be won", and Shen Yun, the Marquis of Bohai. In Shen Yun's thinking. "Undeclared war" and "blitzkrieg" are deep-rooted war patterns, and he didn't even know that he would actually be scolded by the government and the opposition Confucianism by doing this-a dignified man, actually doing sneaky things, really damaging the prestige of the Han!

Of course, Shen Yun didn't care. As long as he can catch King Zuo Xian, he doesn't care about these infamy at all. Respect and prestige are all played. The Han army was too gentle towards the Xiongnu. That's why the Huns were allowed to enter the Kou frequently, and they had to strike a thunderous blow, so that the sentence "Those who commit a strong man and a mighty man will be punished even if they are far away" once again resounded in the ears of all enemies. Only in this way can the Huns not dare to look south.

Shen Yun got everything, for example, his party would let the city gate tax collector pay attention, and the words he said would be spread to the upper echelons, of course, King Zuo Xian personally summoned him beyond his expectations, and at the same time, it was also beyond his expectations that someone from the Ku Yuan Mobu would arrive early. No matter which one it is, Shen Yun has only one purpose, that is, to transfer the positive yellow flag or the inlaid yellow flag out of Tyumen City, it won't take long, just a day!

Shen Yun believed that relying on the defense of Tyumen City, which had almost no military secrets to speak of, the Red Fox Department would be able to conquer Tyumen City in half a day. Most of the people in Tyumen were not Huns, and as long as their own army did not indiscriminately kill and cause public outrage, they could naturally occupy it calmly. After conquering, Shen Yun will be able to go straight to the king's tent in half a day and capture the Hun Zuoxian King alive! Later, with the Huns Zuoxian King in hand, the Huns threw rat bogeys, and of course they could retreat calmly!

The plan is undoubtedly wonderful. But there are too many variables. If this plan had been submitted to the staff officers of the marshal's camp, it would have been rejected. Oh no, it's not just the marshal's camp, it's impossible for any normal ministerial staff officer to approve this plan, and even use a veto to stop the generals from doing such stupid military action.

But this is the Red Fox Department, and the staff officers are hardcore henchmen like Fang Cheng and Bai Xiaosheng, and the only opponent, Ma Gu, has been driven to the Thousand Bird Valley to mix with the former Red Fox Department commander, it can be said that the entire Red Fox Department is Shen Yun's private soldier at this time, and Shen Yun can issue any military orders without any scruples.

This kind of unscrupulous behavior gives full play to the mobility of the Red Fox Department in the army's operations, but the disadvantage of this behavior is also very obvious, that is, it relies too much on the personal ability of the general. Once something happens to the general, the entire Red Fox Department is likely to be paralyzed.

Of course, for the time being, the Red Fox Department will not be paralyzed, but very passionate. Thousands of miles deep into the grassland, straight to the Xiongnu royal city, long-distance travel, and the merit of destroying a country, how long has the Han Dynasty not gotten it? If this battle is successful, it will be the most glorious victory of the empire in hundreds of years! No matter how much the Yue clan people are killed, it is also a civil war, how can there be such a pleasure in fighting abroad?

When Shen Yun was instigating others, he once said that if King Zuo Xian could be captured alive, one of the Red Fox Sect would be counted as one, and the military commander would be at least one turn!

One turn! How many Han soldiers dream of this? Under the propaganda of Fang Cheng, Zhao Xin and others, the deeds of "following the commander to mix with the military medal" have long been spread, coupled with the battle of Yumu, Fang Cheng Zhao Xin and others are well known to everyone about taking a military medal, so this agitation is also full of motivation.

However, military medals are not easy to earn!

Pang Tong was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, and his back was soaked. Looking at Wu Liuzhu's eyes, he became more and more eager. If it weren't for the confiscation of all the sharp weapons on his body when he came in just now, Pang Tong would have the intention of incarnating Yu Rang Zhu.

"Directly pounced on and slaughtered King Zuoxian, there should be at least one military medal, right?" Pang Tong thought secretly, his fat hands were clenched tightly, and his palms were full of sweat, but there was only a wooden bowl for milk tea in front of him.

Pang Tong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, damn, the Huns are too poor, so I can give the fat man a porcelain bowl! Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to smash myself to death with this wooden bowl, let alone the burly-looking King Zuoxian!

Note 1: The Bank of China said that Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty was originally a court eunuch, and later held a grudge against the Han Dynasty because he accompanied the lord to the Xiongnu to make peace, and turned to the Xiongnu and became an important adviser to Shan Yu. It is the first recorded traitor who defected to a foreign race since the title of Han Chinese. (To be continued......)
