Chapter 406: Licking the calf
The Bank of China said that lying on a high-wheeled cart, its thin body was almost submerged in thick animal skins. His cheeks were sunken, and his wrinkled face hung loosely on the rising bones, like a dead man.
Shan Yu got off the horse, took a light step, walked to the side of the cart, glanced at the Bank of China, pulled his beard, and was about to turn around and leave, the Bank of China said that he opened his eyes and said faintly: "Li Guang or Cheng doesn't know?" ”
Shan Yu was stunned for a moment, turned his head, looked at the Bank of China and said. Bank of China said that his eyes were slightly open, and his cloudy eyes were motionless, looking directly at the blue sky. Shan Yu's brows furrowed even tighter, and he always felt that every word spoken by the Bank of China was likely to be the last.
"Yes...... Cheng doesn't know. ”
"What about Li Guang?"
"It's not clear at the moment."
"Help me up."
"The Massacre of the ......"
"Help me up." The Bank of China raised his voice and gasped sharply. "Let me ...... Look at the big rivers and mountains. ”
Shan Yu secretly sighed, put his hand behind the back of the Bank of China, and helped him up. Yu Shan took a bundle of animal skins, pressed them against the back of the Bank of China, and let him lean on them. Bank of China said that he glanced at him, and his gaze was rare gentle. Yu Shan secretly rejoiced in his heart. The Bank of China said that he had always refused to look at him squarely, and today was really a rare face-saving experience. It seems that his diligence for so many days has finally touched him.
"Shan Yu, I'm dying, there are two things I have to say."
"Tu Qi, don't worry, I've already let people sneak into the Han Realm......"
"No matter how good the medicine...... Won't save my life. Bank of China laughed silently, pulling the skin on his face, looking like a dried corpse, and he felt numb in his heart. You listen to me to finish my sentence. ”
"Yes, Tu Qi, you say."
BOC said and gasped for a moment. Only then did he say word by word: "The first thing is that Yu Shan has a good temperament, and he is not suitable to be Shan Yu." Doing it reluctantly will only become a prey for others. ”
Before the words of the Bank of China fell, Yu Dan's face changed. He was about to speak, but was glared at by the military minister Shan Yu. I had to keep my mouth shut again.
"The second thing is that the gains and losses of Henan are related to the fate of the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty. Whoever can occupy Henan will be able to take the initiative. The king of Lou Fu and the king of Aries are too light on the enemy, they deserve it, and they are innocent of death. Someone else will be transferred to occupy Henan. ”
"That'...... Who does the slaughter think? ”
The Bank of China said that it was silent for a long time. "King Zuoxian, Yi Zhixie."
But he ...... He is fighting against Liu Fei in Youbeiping. ”
"Liu Fei is only a pawn, and he doesn't dare to go deep into the grassland. Tune Yi Zhiyi to Henan, he is the most suitable successor Shan Yu. Let the reconquest of Henan be his chance to prove himself. The Bank of China said and slowly turned its head. Tell Yi Zhixie, kill Liang Xiao, recapture the moon, and prove that he is a real Hun man. ”
The military minister was silent.
Bank of China said that a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, he gasped for a long time, and said: "Shan Yu, 100,000 Han troops are not enough to fear, Liang Xiao is the real trouble." There are only the people who killed Liang Xiao. in order to lead the Xiongnu to continue to be strong. If the right virtuous king can't do it, he can only let the left virtuous king try. You can't let Shan Yu go into battle in person, right? ”
The military minister's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized. He took BOC's hand, full of apologies. "Slaughter, I understand."
Bank of China said that the corners of his mouth slowly moved twice, as if he was laughing and crying. He slowly closed his eyes. Say a word again.
Shan Yu carefully pulled the hide, covered him, and walked away lightly. Yu Shan followed closely behind Shan Yu, his eyes were aggrieved, and his face was depressed. It is a few hundred steps away from the Bank of China. Shan Yu slowed down and looked back at Yu Dan.
"I ...... I think that the slaughter of the elderly is reasonable. Shan Yu said: "You are indeed not fierce enough. If it was the past, it would be nothing, anyway, the Han people are like lambs, let us bully. Now that the Han people have bared their fangs, and a major war between the two countries has just begun, can you afford this heavy responsibility? ”
Yu Shan said: "Shan Yu has never given me the opportunity to lead the troops into battle, how can I be sure that I don't have this ability?" ”
"It's not that I won't give you a chance." Shan Yu sighed: "It's that I don't dare to give you a chance, especially at this time." Have you forgotten, the Evil King gave Fox Deer Gu a chance, and as a result, Fox Deer Gu's head became Liang Xiao's trophy......"
"Then please give me 10,000 cavalry, and I will definitely cut off Liang Xiao's head."
Shan Yu laughed silently and walked forward. The Bank of China is right, Yu Shan is too childish, he can't afford such a heavy responsibility. Although he listened to him and the Bank of China discuss the battle situation countless times, he didn't really listen to a word. If Liang Xiao is so easy to kill, does he need to personally lead the troops to come to the rescue?
Although the Bank of China said that it has always been recommended that Yi Zhiyi come, not his Shan Yu. But in any case, there is one thing they see in the same way. The Han army obviously attacked in three ways, but in the end it was twisted into a rope, I am afraid that it was not the intention of the imperial court, and it is unlikely to be the advice of Li Guang and other generals, but it is Liang Xiao who is most likely to contribute to this matter.
King Hugh Tu's army was annihilated, the King of Aries was defeated in a battle, Cheng Buzhi appeared here, and King Lou Fu was afraid that there would be few days left. Several key victories of the Han army are related to Liang Xiao, and this tactic of taking thousands of miles to the extreme of the speed advantage of the cavalry has Liang Xiao's strong personal color.
The prayers of the sorcerers also proved that Liang Xiao would be a great trouble for the Huns.
Liang Xiao did not die, and the Huns were uneasy. How could such a man be killed by a single commander of 10,000 men? If Liang Xiao was killed so easily, wouldn't the Evil King and the Right Virtuous King be too incompetent.
Of course, Shan Yu didn't agree with the opinions of the Bank of China, he didn't want to give up this opportunity to Yi Zhixi, he wanted to meet Liang Xiao in person for a while. Therefore, he ignored the opposition of the Bank of China, led the elite of the royal court to support the Aries King and the King of Loufu, and summoned the Right Xian King to come to the battle.
Seeing that Shan Yu didn't speak, Yu Shan was in a hurry, caught up with two steps, grabbed Shan Yu's face, blocked Shan Yu's way, and begged: "Shan Yu, please give me a chance." ”
Shan Yu looked at Yu Dan, thought for a while, and said, "I can give you 10,000 rides, but you have to promise me that you can't leave me for thirty miles at the farthest." Once more than thirty miles. I will take back your military power at once. ”
Yu Shan was stunned for a moment. Thirty miles, what is the difference between this and being by Shan Yu's side? However, looking at Shan Yu's resolute face, he gave up the dispute again. Anyway, let's get the military power in our hands first.
"Okay."
The hesitation in Yu's eyes all fell in Shanyu's eyes. In an instant, a trace of uneasiness surged through Shan Yu's heart. He began to wonder if his decision was a wise one. But. Looking at Yu Dan's enthusiastic eyes, he swallowed back the words of repentance. He secretly decided in his heart that if he found out that Yu Shan was disobedient, he would immediately deprive him of his military power, lest he lose his life like Fox Lugu.
Shan Yu convened all the generals to discuss the matter, and after arranging the task of the Aries King and other generals to attack Cheng Buzhi's camp, he allocated Yu Shan Wanjing Cavalry to let him be the vanguard of the army and go east to inquire about the news of the Han army. Prepare to rescue the King of Lou Annoyance.
All the generals were a little surprised, but in front of Shan Yu, no one dared to say more. The Huns were originally brothers, and King Zuo Xian was the first heir. However, in recent generations, from Mao Dun Shan Yu to the old Shang Shan Yu, and then to the military minister Shan Yu, they have all been passed down from father to son, and the ancient system has been broken.
In such a critical battle. The military ministers are only given a single ten thousand fine horses, and I am afraid that they have also abandoned the Zuoxian King Yi Zhixi. Let's pass on the meaning of single. Whether it is Li Guang or Liang Xiao, even if Cheng Buzhi, as long as Yu Shan can defeat them, he can become a general with heavy troops, even King Zuo Xian can only bow to the upper hand.
Seeing that no one objected, the military minister Shan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day. Led by the King of Aries, wave after wave of attacks were launched against the Han army camp.
At noon on the third day, King Youxian led 30,000 elite cavalry of the Xiongnu on the right to arrive, and the total strength of the Xiongnu reached 80,000. On the grounds that Henan Diben was the right Xiongnu, the military minister Shan Yu handed over the task of attacking Cheng Buzhi's camp to King Youxian. He personally led 40,000 elite horsemen to the stone gate barrier and galloped to the aid of the king of Loufu.
Yu Shan led 10,000 elite horsemen in front and served as a striker. He scrupulously obeyed the orders of his military minister Shan Yu, and always controlled the distance from Shan Yu within thirty miles.
――
One hundred and fifty miles northwest of the stone gate barrier.
King Lou Fu reined in his horse, raised his hand, and ordered the whole army to stop advancing and rest on the spot.
The horn sounded, and the tired Hun warriors controlled the war horses under their crotches, turned over and dismounted, and each found a place to rest. But every stone that is cleaner, and a trunk that is thicker, is occupied. If you can't find a place, you just lie on the ground.
was chased and killed by the Han army for three days in a row, and even the Huns, who claimed to be the most able to endure hardships, were a little unable to hold on. I thought it would be safe to withdraw from the stone barrier, but I didn't expect that the Han army seemed to be crazy, not only chasing after it, but also becoming more and more courageous, almost several battles a day. The Huns were not psychologically prepared for this at all, and suffered heavy losses. Not only did many people die, but they were also robbed by the Han army.
As a last resort, the Huns had to slaughter wounded horses to satisfy their hunger, which further weakened their fighting power and demoralized them to the point of no further decline. Fighting with the Han army many times, the Huns have never suffered such a big loss, they used to chase the Han army, but now it is the other way around, the Han army is chasing them.
King Lou Fu fell on a large rock, and his mind was in chaos. He pondered and meditated, unable to figure out how things could have come to this. It seemed to be just a mistake: he didn't expect the Han army to chase out of the stone barrier, and he was careless for a moment and lost his baggage. However, how to explain the failure of the Aries King?
At this point, although King Lou Fu has not yet learned the specific whereabouts of the Aries King, he guesses that the current life of the Aries King will probably not be better than him, and nine times out of ten he has suffered the losses of the Han people.
What's going on here? What did the Han people, who have always been cowardly, go crazy this time? Are they going to start an all-out war with the Huns?
Lou Fu Wang was puzzled.
At this moment, the alarm horn sounded on the hillside in the distance. The King of Lou Fu jumped up and looked at the place where the horn sounded.
He saw the smoke and dust reaching into the sky. In front of the smoke and dust, more than a dozen horsemen were galloping from a distance, the four hooves of the war horses were in the air, and the knights on horseback were desperately waving the battle flags in their hands, sounding the alarm of enemy attacks.
Behind them, the black-pressed cavalry rushed to the sky, like a tide, surging and rushing.
In an instant, the sound of the drums of war drowned out the sound of the trumpets, poured into the ears of the Huns, struck their hearts, and destroyed their last hope.
