Chapter 11 Meng Yi to the Nine Plains
After Weng Zhong returned to Didao City, he did not clean the flesh and blood stains on his body, so he went to the city with a murderous spirit, and watched the Hun cavalry chase and kill the Yue people from afar, until the Hun cavalry collected their troops and returned to the camp Weng Zhong did not let go.
At this time, Weng Zhong also saw that it was very likely that the Huns who were fighting with him were not the Huns at all but the Yueshi people in the west of Longxi, and the Huns who were still in Jiuyuan didn't know why they ran to Longxi to copy the back road of the Yueshi people, and they came just right.
Seeing that the Hun army was camped one after another, Weng Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and before turning around and going down to the city, he told the captain who followed him: "You must not slack off tonight." What was the condition of the Huns immediately reported to General Ben. ”
"Whoa!"
It's a pity that Weng Zhong didn't know that Mao Dun was more worried than him about being attacked by the Qin army at night, so he set up camp in broad daylight less than twenty miles away from Di Dao City, just to make a show for the Qin army in Di Dao City.
Maudun knew that his army of 200,000 was sleepy and tired, and if he let them rest, he was afraid that he would immediately fall to the ground and lie on the ground. If the Qin army attacked the camp at night, it is estimated that there would be no resistance at all.
Therefore, Mao Dun first put on the appearance of planning to set up camp, and when it was completely dark at night, he quietly ran out of the Longxi territory with 200,000 troops overnight, and then began to re-encamp and let the 200,000 troops rest.
Of course, when the 200,000 army left the camp, even if the horses were tied to their mouths and their hooves wrapped in cloth, they could not be completely silent, and the night vigil soldiers on the city wall were very nervous due to the abnormal movement of the Hun camp, and hurriedly reported to Weng Zhong, who had not slept steadily.
However, when Weng Zhong arrived at the city, the Xiongnu camp was quiet again, and there was no sign of attacking the city overnight.
Weng Zhong glanced at the depressed lieutenant next to him, and said in a loud voice, "Wait for your eyes to open wider." If the Huns have any more movements, report to me quickly! Don't worry! ”
"Whoa!" The lieutenant hurriedly bowed and said.
This night, even if the captain opened his eyes wide, the Hun camp was always pitch black, as if it was a dead land.
In the morning, when it was not very bright, Weng Zhong got up early and went to the city.
The captain's eyes were red at night, and when he saw Weng Zhong hurriedly catching up, without waiting for the captain to speak, Weng Zhong asked, "The Huns didn't move last night?" ”
"Back to the general, the Huns have not made any sound since the last general called the general!" The lieutenant stared at him all night.
Looking at the captain's red eyes, Weng Zhong nodded and said, "You go and rest, General Ben will guard it himself." ”
"General, the last general is not tired!"
"General Ben will let you go, and you will be verbose like a! Roll on! Weng Zhong stretched out a slap the size of a fan, making a gesture to slap.
The captain was like a child in front of Weng Zhong, shrunk his head and smiled at Weng Zhong gratefully, turned around and walked away from the city tower.
Weng Zhong turned to the snickering soldiers on the city and scolded with a smile: "Why are you smiling? Why don't you get out of here? Do you want General Ben to send you to the city? ”
The soldiers who had been guarding the city wall all night heard Weng Zhong's laughter and scolding, and they swarmed down the city tower with a smile and went to sleep. The vacated position they vacated was naturally guarded by Weng Zhong's personal guards.
Weng Zhong had been watching the Xiongnu camp from the city wall, but until Zhongtian, the Xiongnu camp was still silent. Weng Zhong didn't open his mind anymore, and at this time he realized that something was wrong.
It is impossible for the Huns not to come out until noon, let alone an army of more than 100,000.
Weng Zhong called two guards and said: "You go to the Hun camp to investigate, remember that if the Huns make a move, report back to the general immediately, don't get too close." ”
"Whoa!" The two guards turned around and were about to go down the city.
"Wait!" Weng Zhong thought about it and was not at ease, so he called the two guards, turned his head and ordered a lieutenant who had been following him: "Wait until you guard the city and close the city gate." General Ben went to investigate it himself. ”
"General......" Lieutenant was taken aback and wanted to dissuade him.
Weng Zhong glared back, and immediately held back the captain's words. Immediately, Weng Zhong turned around and went down to the city with the previous two guards.
"Alas!" The lieutenant sighed helplessly, and said to one of the soldiers beside him: "After the general leaves the city, you take a few soldiers to open the city gate, guard by the city gate, and be ready to let the general enter the city at any time." ”
"Whoa!"
……
Weng Zhong is still on foot here, and his height is estimated to be difficult to find a war horse or mount that can be used by him. Although he was on foot, his speed was not much slower than that of the two guards on horseback.
The group of three people did not hide any traces and went straight to the Xiongnu camp.
Until Weng Zhong and the three of them were less than fifty steps away from the Xiongnu camp, there was still no movement in the entire Xiongnu camp. Weng Zhong ignored the dissuasion of the two guards, and walked straight to the gate of the Hun camp, only to find that except for some tents, the entire Hun camp was empty at this moment.
Thinking about it, the captain heard the movements of the Hun camp last night, and it should have been that the Huns were abandoning the camp.
The two guards who had to follow Weng Zhong, who couldn't dissuade Weng Zhong, also discovered this situation, and the two shouted happily: "General, the Huns have fled!" ”
"Noise! Can't General Ben see it? Return! Weng Zhong glared at the two of them fiercely and said.
"Whoa!" The two guards didn't know what was wrong with the general, so they hurriedly whispered.
Back in Didao City, Weng Zhong did not immediately send people to receive the Huns' camp, but still ordered his guards to be on strict guard, and he went to the county guard mansion alone. Ryshin's shogunate was also here.
The reason why they were still on strict guard was that they were worried that the Huns would kill them.
After listening to Weng Zhong's words, the county guards and the officials in the shogunate agreed that scouts should be sent to investigate all parts of Longxi immediately, and a day later, it was determined that the Huns had really withdrawn their troops, and then sent a message to Jiuyuan and Xianyang.
In the evening, all the scouts who had gone out to investigate returned to Didao, and they all said that they had not found any Huns in Longxi.
Only then did Weng Zhong send a message to Xianyang and Jiuyuan about the defeat of the Longxi army, the killing of more than 10,000 enemies by the Yueshi clan and the appearance of the Xiongnu army in Longxi.
The evening of April 22 in the first year of Great Qin II.
On the way, Meng Yi, who met Jiuyuan's messenger delivering Xianyang's military information, rushed to Jiuyuan City in a hurry. Soon after Meng Yi arrived, he received an urgent military message from Weng Zhong about the appearance of the Xiongnu army in Longxi.
Although Meng Yi did not lead troops to fight, it did not mean that he did not understand military affairs, he immediately guessed from the military situation from Longxi that the purpose of the Xiongnu's southward march was not to go south to capture Jiuyuan, but to solve the Yueshi in the west of the Xiongnu.
In Meng Yi's opinion, the Yue clan has definitely been solved by Mao Dun, so who will be the next target of the Xiongnu?
Meng Yi followed Daqin's map to find it, and finally fixed his gaze on one location.
"Someone, let the Eagle Warrior report this urgent military situation to His Majesty immediately." Meng Yi handed over the military information with his guess to Long Weidao sent by Hu Hai beside him.
The eagle warriors specially sent by Hu Hai caught up with Meng Yi four days after Meng Yi came out of Xianyang, and the appearance of the white paper made Meng Yi's awe of Hu Hai deeper, so although he knew what Hu Hai sent Long Wei to his side for, but after arriving in Jiuyuan, Meng Yi still took these ten dragon guards with him, and did not choose other personal guards.
