Chapter 340: A Child's War
readx;
In 187 A.D., the fourth year of Hanzhongping, at the end of February, in the north of Daijun and the corner of Baishan, the two armies did not engage in a single battle, and the confrontation had been more than a month, and the atmosphere was very strange. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At the foot of Baishan Mountain is an open plain, with the Xiongnu army stationed in the north, 400,000 Xiongnu iron cavalry, 400,000 soldiers from the Western Regions, and the Tianci Army of Northern Xinjiang stationed in the south, originally nine legions, 270,000 soldiers and horses, but after Qianghu declared neutrality, Wen Chou was transferred back by Liu Tai, at this time there were a full eleven legions and 330,000 cavalry in the Tianci Army joint camp!
The Great Huns are not in a hurry, Liu Tai is not in a hurry, after all, the main defense of the northern Xinjiang this time, not the main attack, the most important thing is that Liu Tai's rear is Daijun, the transportation of grain and grass is very convenient, the army has withdrawn to the north for two years, and there has been a bumper harvest year after year, and Liu Tai will not be short of food in a short time, so Liu Tai can afford it.
Liu Tai was very puzzled, why was the Great Hun so stable as Mount Tai? According to Zhao Yun, who went out of the camp to rob the grain, the good news came that in just over a month, Zhao Yun had robbed at least a dozen grain teams of the Huns. Could it be that Queen Rouge is really a fool? Pull the army to Liu Tai's Tianci military camp and be beaten?
It's a pity that Queen Rouge is not a fool, in fact, Queen Rouge has always cared not about the Central Grassland, but about the countries of the Western Regions! The reason why Queen Rouge attacked the northern frontier on a large scale this time has a deep intention, that is, to consume the combat power of the countries of the Western Regions! In this month's time, there is less and less food and grass, and the supply of the Western Regions is getting less and less.
To the north of the White Mountain, the Great Xiongnu military camp.
The color of the Chinese army's royal tent stands tall on a small high slope, it seems so prominent, the colored royal tent is guarded by the most elite queen guards of the Huns all around, and the defense is very tight, not to mention people, even a fly can't enter.
"Your Majesty, our army can't be consumed any longer, now the supply of grain and grass in the Western Regions is insufficient, and the supply of grain and grass for the children of my Hun headquarters is getting smaller and smaller, if it continues like this, even my headquarters will suffer heavy losses at that time." A tall and heroic man in battle armor and a vajra sword at his waist knelt down on one knee and bowed his hand to a figure in the curtain tent.
This man is the most outstanding general of the Huns, Dugu Hong, and also the fiancΓ© of the Queen of Rouge, single-handedly supporting the Queen of Rouge to the throne, if it were not for the existence of Dugu Hong, the position of the Hun Da Dan Yu would have been robbed by others a long time ago, in fact, within the Huns, there is no title of queen, the reason why the Queen of Rouge is so called is mainly because, Queen Rouge is the first female surname in power of the Great Huns, naturally it should be a little special, if it is still called Da Shan Yu, Da Shan Yu, it will always be a little uncomfortable, right?
The woman in the curtain tent is very vague, but looking at Duguhong's age, the queen should not be very old, at most about eighteen or nineteen years old, because Duguhong looks like he is twenty-five or sixteen years old, in the Huns, generally to the age of twenty women must marry, otherwise they will be looked down upon, or gossip behind their backs, if the Rouge Queen is already twenty years old, at this time Duguhong should not stand below, but sit side by side with the Rouge Queen.
In fact, the reason why the Dugu family fully supports the Rouge Queen to ascend to the throne is because they want to get the position of Da Shan Yu and marry their husbands since ancient times, which is not only applicable in the Central Plains, but also in the Great Hun tribe, although Rouge is now the queen of the Great Huns, but once married to Dugu Hong, then Dugu Hong will become the regent prince of the Xiongnu in the actual sense, all the power will be in the hands of North Dugu Hong, and Queen Rouge can only retreat behind the scenes, well, in this era, no matter what position a woman sits in, The fate of vassals will never be avoided.
"It's not enough for General Dugu, what I want is the annihilation of the entire army in the Western Regions, so that I, the Great Huns, can truly absorb the countries of the Western Regions, isn't it?" There was a crisp female voice coming from inside the curtain, which sounded a little numb, very light, very soft, and touching.
"Queen, we are the people of the grassland, why do we have to incorporate the countries of the Western Regions? This makes no sense to us Huns! Dugu Hong's face looked a little helpless, and he arched his hand to the figure in the curtain tent, although it was said that after marriage, Dugu Hong was the master of the Great Huns, but before the marriage, Queen Rouge had absolute rights, which was a measure for the Great Huns to prevent them from splitting again.
"Idiot!" There was a sudden burst of impatient scolding from inside the curtain, only to hear Queen Rouge say a little annoyed: "General Dugu, do you want to be a leader for the rest of your life?" With the territory of the Western Regions, the royal family of my Great Huns can become as stable as Mount Tai, and in the future, our children can also become emperors like the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, are you so unambitious? So uncompetitive? What does this king want you to do? β
It sounds a bit scolding, but Dugu Hong is not a little angry, because Queen Rouge is thinking about the children of the two in the future, if this is going to be angry, then Dugu Hong is really an idiot.
A happy look flashed on Dugu Hong's face, he was scolded by his beloved woman, or it was also a kind of happiness, I saw Dugu Hong respectfully bow his hand to the rouge queen and said: "Queen, our children of the grassland are advocating freedom, if they are imprisoned by the throne, sooner or later the wolf surname of our Huns will be smoothed out in the north, and I hope the queen will think about it carefully." β
"Oh wolf surname! Just because of this damn wolf surname, my father died in the counterinsurgency in the Western Regions, and because of this wolf surname, my Hun royal family was almost cut off, otherwise, why did you Dugu Hong become the king's man? Queen Rouge's voice was cold, and she looked very disappointed in Dugu Hong.
"Could it be that General Dugu has forgotten? When Xianbei united the five tribes to the south, how did the general flee with my proud Hun iron horseman? This king will not allow this kind of thing to happen again, if this plan fails again, this king will consider choosing a man in the Dugu family again! Queen Rouge didn't wait for Dugu Hong to reply, and said with a cold voice revealing Dugu Hong's scars.
When Dugu Hong led an army of 300,000 to invade and the two northern counties, it is a pity that after more than a month of confrontation, the Xianbei headquarters of the Middle Route Army, suddenly came the news of the annihilation of the whole army, Dugu Hong at that time suddenly panicked, and did not dare to continue the confrontation, and hurriedly led the army to flee, losing countless grains and grass, this one thing, so that Dugu Hong became the laughing stock of the Xiongnu aristocracy, and was Dugu Hong because of the great shame, with the status of Dugu Hong, no one dared to mention it, and it was almost forgotten. Unexpectedly, Queen Rouge actually said it in front of Dugu Hongdu.
"Squeak squeak" Dugu Hong had a thick anger on his face, and the steel teeth in his mouth made a numbing sound, looking at the figure in the curtain tent angrily, but he didn't dare to refute, Dugu Hong knew the temper of the Rouge Queen, if he really got involved with the Rouge Queen, maybe the position of the prince might not be guaranteed.
"Queen, the last general will retire first, please rest assured that the last general will arrange things properly." Lowering his head and enduring the humiliation, Dugu Hong bowed to the rouge queen and said.
"Let's go, in three more days, drive the Western Regions and the Tianci Army to a decisive battle, even if it is impossible to defeat the Tianci Army, this king will let the Tianci Army break his muscles and bones!" Queen Rouge looked at Dugu Hong's angry look, she didn't care at all, and her still cold voice came out, which made Dugu Hong's anger disappear in an instant.
Tianci Army, the big tent of the Chinese army "Lord, this is the war book from the Hun envoy" Xi Zhicai rushed into Liu Tai's royal tent with a look of urgency, and saw that Liu Tai was dealing with military affairs, and stepped forward and said.
"War book?" Liu Tai raised his head and looked at Xi Zhicai, his expression did not have the meaning of mountains, and said lightly: "After dragging on for so long, can you finally not bear it?" β
took a red document sent by Xi Zhicai, only to see that there were words on it that the king of God had opened himself, and after looking at it, he didn't feel anything, Liu Tai directly opened the paperwork, and after opening the paperwork, Liu Tai felt a faint woman's fragrance coming to his nose, and couldn't help grinning at the corner of his mouth.
"This rouge queen is quite interesting, she looks like she is just a little girl." Looking at the contents of the letter, Liu Tai smiled even more happily, and said to Xi Zhicai, who was standing next.
"Little girl?" Xi Zhicai frowned, and asked puzzledly: "Lord, what is in the war book, when will the Queen of Rouge fight our army?" β
"Three days later." Liu Tai glanced at Xi Zhicai and continued: "This rouge queen hopes to have a fair decisive battle with my Tianci army, of course, because our army is too well-equipped, so the number can only be in a two-tenth ratio, for example, the Huns sent 400,000 troops, and our army can only send 200,000 troops. β
"This?? Isn't it a bit of a joke? Xi Zhicai's face was stunned, he had never heard this statement since ancient times, no wonder Liu Tai would say that Queen Rouge is still a little girl, on the battlefield, who will play this game with the enemy? It's all your own soldiers who died.
"Child's play? Perhaps, Queen Rouge said in her letter that the decisive battle between the two sides will end unless one side is all dead or surrenders in public, and this time the Xiongnu sent 400,000 Western Regions. Liu Tai shook his head, a glint flashed in his eyes, perhaps, Liu Tai had guessed the true intentions of Queen Rouge.
"Four hundred thousand Western Regions?" Xi Zhicai frowned, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he gasped and said: "It turns out that Queen Rouge actually wants to eradicate the Western Regions with the help of our army, what a sinister method!" However, this is not good for the Great Huns? Could it be that the Huns wanted to completely occupy the Western Regions? β
"Is there anything else besides this possibility?" Liu Tai looked up at Xi Zhicai and smiled faintly, Liu Taike knew that after a few hundred years, the Xiongnu were driven out of Asia by the Han people, and indeed established a big empire in Europe called the Xiongnu Empire! The Xiongnu Empire made a mess of the whole of Europe, and even directly led to the division of the Roman Empire, and its achievements were not glorious.
