Chapter 173: Elaborate Design
"The old Qin people gave up Jiuyuan City?!" Xiang Zhuang looked at Bai Lixian in disbelief.
Bai Lixian nodded, and said solemnly: "Yes, the old Qin people have moved to Linhe City in the west."
Just half an hour ago, Meng Xian suddenly sent someone to call Bai Li Xian into Jiuyuan City, and then told Bai Li Xian the amazing news, Bai Li Xian was also quite surprised when he heard the news, since Meng Tian started, the old Qin people have been operating in Jiuyuan for ten years, so Xiongcheng, really give up?
Wei Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "Ziliang, do you know the inside of it?" ”
Bai Lixian hesitated and said, "It is said that this was proposed by Princess Yingzhen. ”
"Princess Winzhen?" Wei Yi stroked his long hair and said thoughtfully, "It turned out to be her." ”
Bai Lixian said to Xiang Zhuang again: "General, the old Qin people have left, let's go into the city." ”
"Well, order the whole army to enter and garrison immediately!" Xiang Zhuang will naturally not be polite to the great gift offered by the old Qin people, after the Chu army enters the city, there is no need to worry about the sneak attack of the Hu people, only a small number of troops need to be left to defend the city, and the rest of the armies and battalions can even go deep into the desert separately to hunt instead of riding and archery training.
If you want to train cavalry well, you can't just run horses and yo-yo bays on the school field.
However, as for why Yingzhen wanted to persuade the old Qin people to give up Jiuyuan City, Xiang Zhuang was puzzled.
Could it be that Ying Zhen has been impressed by his Xiang Zhuang's charm and wants to curry favor with him through this kind of behavior? Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he thought of this, he didn't think that he could have this charm, let alone that he could make Yingzhen, a fox spirit who brought disaster to the country and the people, so obsessed, I'm afraid there are other things to pay attention to, right?
However, Xiang Zhuang is not worried about this, you need to know that he Xiang Zhuang is not a fool, and there are wise people like Wei Yi and Bai Lixian under the account, even if it is Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, it will not be easy to calculate Chu Jun, as for the little lady Yingzhen, no matter how scheming and ambitious she is, can she be more powerful than Zhang Liang and Chen Ping?
Half a month later, near the river, the princess walked away.
Linhe was originally a big city, but with the fall of the Great Qin Empire, the Kwantung soldiers and civilians of Hetao left one after another, and the remaining old Qin people also gathered in Jiuyuan, and Linhe City gradually declined, and now, Linhe City has less than 100 residents and less than 100 Qin troops stationed.
However, after the old Qin people moved in, Linhe became lively again.
Inside the princess's walk, an oil lamp was burning faintly on her desk, and the dim light illuminated every corner of the hall, casting two long shadows on the wall.
Those were two tall, lanky middle-aged men.
These two men were none other than two of the eighteen guards who escorted Yingzhen to escape from Xianyang.
In the sound of light footsteps, a black-clothed Ying Zhen walked into the hall like a ghost, and the two middle-aged men hurriedly turned around, held their swords and saluted Ying Zhen: "See the princess." ”
Ying Zhen gently solemnized her hands and motioned for the two to be exempt.
"Princess Xie." The two middle-aged men put away their swords one after another and got up.
Ying Zhen took out a silk letter from his sleeve and handed it to one of them, and said sadly: "Uncle Feng, you choose three fast horses, rush to Hexi day and night, and hand over this dense letter to King Xiu Tu, the maternal uncle of the palace, and then tell King Xiu Tu that the honor and disgrace of the palace, as well as whether the Great Qin Empire can be revived, are all in his thoughts. ”
"No!" The man named Ye Fengbo took the silk book and took the order.
Ying Zhen took out another silk letter, handed it to the remaining man, and said, "Uncle Meng, you read carefully." ”
A man named Meng Bo took the silk book, read it carefully for a while, and then returned the silk book to Ying Zhen.
Ying Zhen asked, "Uncle Meng, have you written it down?" After getting Meng Bo's affirmative answer, Ying Zhen put the silk book on the oil lamp, watching the silk book gradually turn into ashes in the firelight, Ying Zhen suddenly sighed softly, and said in a quiet voice, "Meng Bo, this matter is very important, and we must not leak the slightest rumor." ”
Meng Bo hugged his sword and said resolutely: "Don't worry, princess, your subordinates know what to do." ”
Ying Zhen nodded slightly, and Meng Bo bowed back, and soon fell into darkness
Ten days later, an astonishing news reached Linhe, and King Hutu was approaching Gaoque with a large army! ,
The Hutu tribe is a large tribe nomadic in Hexi, neither the Yueshi nor the Xiongnu, but an independent tribe like the Aries tribe, the Linhu tribe, and the Loufu tribe, but the Hutu tribe is much stronger than the Loufu and Linhu tribes, with a population of more than 200,000 and 60,000 or 70,000 people!
Hearing that Hugh Tu's army was approaching Gaoque, Meng Xuan suddenly became alert.
The geographical location of the Hetao Plain is extremely superior, there are rushing and turbulent rivers in the west and east as a natural barrier, there are Yin Mountain, Yang Mountain as a natural barrier in the north, Zhao State and Qin State have built the Great Wall, and build the city at the mouth of the Que between the two mountains, this is the famous Xiongguan Dangerous Pass in the north of the Hetao!
If the Hutu cavalry broke through Gaoque, the first to bear the brunt would be the old Qin people near the river.
Although King Xiu Tu and the Ying family are in-laws, Meng Yan did not think that the Hu Tu people would trade with the old Qin people because of this.
After receiving the message from Gao Que's fast horse, Meng Yan did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered 4,000 elite soldiers to come to fortify Gao Que, and there were only more than 1,000 defenders left in Linhe City
At the same time, King Lou Fu also fled back to the Northern Fake Royal Court with more than 10,000 defeated soldiers.
Things have to start from more than half a month ago, since Lou Annoying people got 20,000 iron weapons, their combat power has increased dramatically, and their ambitions have begun to swell, and soon thereafter, Lou Annoying people began to unscrupulously rob the cattle, sheep and livestock of the Linhu people, and the desert grassland was originally a world of the weak and the strong, so this situation is normal.
The uncle said that although he felt that something was wrong, he did not stop Lou from annoying the king.
King Lou Fu originally thought that King Lin Hu would swallow his anger, but it turned out to be completely different.
The Linhu tribe soon launched a cruel revenge, and successively ransacked the ten settlements of the Lou Fu tribe, robbed all the cattle, sheep and livestock, not to mention, and also snatched all the women and children, and the captured Fan Bai Zhuangding was also beheaded.
In the battle in the clouds, the army of Lou Fu first won all battles in a row and beheaded thousands!
However, in the final battle of attacking Lin Hu's royal court, Lin Hu's rear formation suddenly appeared with hundreds of bed crossbows, and the giant arrows like short spears were like dense rain threads, which suddenly poured into the unsuspecting Lou Fu people, and the charging Lou Fu cavalry suddenly fell down one by one, and Hao Fan thousands of people and horses were shot through!
Then Lin Hu erected a tall tower-shaped weapon in the back formation, and then, a huge stone weighing a hundred catties was thrown high by those tall tower-shaped weapons, and then flew a hundred steps away in the air, and finally smashed down viciously in the tower with a terrible sound.
In the face of the sudden blow, Lou Annoying suddenly became commotion.
The Lin Hu people took the opportunity to counterattack, and Lou was annoying and was immediately killed.
By the time he fled back to the Northern Fake Royal Court, there were only more than 10,000 cavalry left around King Loufu.
What's worse is that the cattle, sheep, livestock, old and young, women and children who accompanied the army on the expedition were all lost, which would probably have become the spoils of the Linhu tribe.
For the Hu people, it is normal to eat defeats, and to win them back in the future, a large number of strong men can bear the death of a large number of soldiers, as long as the women and children are still there, the tribe will still have a chance to rise, but now, Lou Annoying people not only lost a large number of strong men, but also lost women, children, cattle, sheep and livestock, which hurt the fundamentals.
Without cattle, sheep and livestock, it is a problem to fill the stomach.
"Damn Central Plains!" King Lou Fu smashed his fist on the dwarf fan, and said hatefully, "It is impossible for the Lin Hu people to make bed crossbows, and these bed crossbows must have been traded to them by the Central Plains!" These cunning Central Plains people, damn Central Plains people, this king will never let them go easily, and this king will definitely kill them all ....... ”
Uncle Shuo sighed and persuaded, "King, let's think about what to do in the future, right?" ”
Kill all the people of the Central Plains? I didn't dare to do it when I was strong before, but now I want to kill it, can I kill it?
"Strategist?" Lou Fuyu woke up like a dream, and said miserably, "The cattle, sheep and livestock are gone, and the Lou Fu tribe is finished." ”
Speaking of which, the uncle said that he had originally persuaded the king of Lou Fu to not trust the people of the Central Plains, but the king of Lou Fu did not listen, and had to trade with the people of the Central Plains, but although the transaction came with 20,000 iron weapons, it also brought disaster to the people of Lou Fu, and now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have made this deal with the people of the Central Plains. ,
But now, it's too late for King Lou to regret it.
Uncle said: "King, the Lou Fu tribe has been hit hard by this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the Hetao again, if there is no mistake in the next, this should be the trick of the Central Plains people to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and when we are almost cannibalistic with the Linhu people, they will jump out to clean up the mess, good calculation, good calculation." ”
"Hey." King Lou Fu said hatefully, "Strategist, it would have been nice if I had listened to your advice." ”
Uncle said waved his hand and said: "King, I'm afraid we can't stay in Hetao, I think it's better to go to Mobei as soon as possible to join the Huns, but before leaving for Mobei, you have to try to grab some cattle and sheep, this is a long way to Mobei, you can't let the clansmen go hungry on the road, right?" ”
"Hmm." Lou Fu Wang said, "Military advisor, listen to you." ”
As soon as the words fell, an attendant suddenly came in and said, "King, there is an old Qin man who asks to see you." ”
"Old Qin? The old Qin people are also from the Central Plains! When King Lou Fu said this, he said extremely hideously, "Go, cut off the head of that Central Plains man and hang it on the flagpole in front of this king's tent, hum!" ”
The attendant suddenly agreed, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by his uncle.
"Calm your anger, my lord." The uncle said and persuaded, "Let's meet the messenger of the old Qin people." ”
The king of Lou Fu snorted, and said no more, the uncle said that he would turn around and wave his hand, and the attendant bowed down and withdrew from the big tent, and soon, the attendant took a middle-aged man into the big tent of the king of Lou Fu...... )
