Chapter 236: Hurry to see you off
Greed is the nature of every human being, a wise man once said that if capital has 50 percent profits, it will take risks, if it has 100 percent profits, it will dare to trample on all the laws of the world, if there is 300 percent profits, it will dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged!
There is no doubt that Maudun was fierce and powerful, and the Xiongnu princes did respect and fear him, but despite this, it did not mean that the princes were willingly ruled by him. The reason why Mao Dun is strong is that his Zuoxian King has the fattest pastures, which can breed a large number of handsome war horses. The standard by which the Huns measured the strength of the tribe was to see how many war horses the tribe had. With enough horses, you can arm enough cavalry. With enough cavalry, you can have a full say in the grassland fed by wolves!
"Dare to ask Your Highness, who will help take care of the Zuo Xian Wang's department, has it ever been conclusive?" Hold up the bold, starve the faint-hearted. This kind of thing is said in the Huns. It's not an uncommon thing, as long as the benefits are sufficient, even if it is Shan Yu's royal department, they dare to stretch out their hands.
"The jury is still unsettled yet, but Father Khan has left the matter to me with full authority. If you are interested, you can always come to me! "Toth has succeeded in hooking the greed in the hearts of all the princes, and now he just needs to sit firmly on the fishing platform and wait for the fish to take the bait!
"Brother Han, it seems that this Toth is not as straw as we imagined!" Li Wujie has been following the development of events as a bystander from beginning to end. Until now, he has to admit that this second prince, who is not favored by himself, does have some means. I believe that many princes were fooled by him like this. In the end, he really got on his boat.
"It's one thing to have a strategy, but the most important thing is to make a big enough investment!" Han Yuanhao is a relatively pure-hearted person, but now he is tempted by the big cake promised by Toth, not to mention the other insatiable princes!
A piece of fat meat was thrown out, although Zhilu said that this piece of fat meat was not so delicious, but the princes still decided to taste it, and it was a big deal to spit it out again!
Just as Thoth was about to enjoy the fruits of his victory, a guard who was in charge of monitoring the movements of the Zuo Xian Wang's troops hurriedly ran in.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it seems that the army of the Zuo Xian Wang's department is preparing to retreat!" The guard knelt on the ground and reported to Toth.
Toth and the Hun princes were shocked at the same time, "What? Are you sure you see clearly? ”
"It's true. The people of Zuo Xianwang's department were already putting away their tents. Definitely going to go! The Guardian said firmly.
"Didn't you say that you were going to launch a general attack on Yumen Pass tomorrow? Why did King Zuo Xian withdraw his troops at this time? Kun Evil King Hu Hanxie wondered.
After a brief shock, Toth quickly calmed down, and after a sneer, said. "It seems that my eldest brother is weak-hearted. So I had to run back to the grassland overnight. I want to escape the punishment of my father Khan! ”
The general Hu Yanhao also got up and left the table in a hurry, this matter is too important, he needs to think about it immediately and report to Shan Yu.
"Ladies and gentlemen. You are all the pillars of my Huns, what kind of person is King Zuoxian, I think you should know it, you must not be merciful to deal with such people. He placed his hands in front of Shan Yu, presumably you came to my banquet today, and he also knew that if he really became Shan Yu in the future, do you think he will let you go with his character? Toth bewitched.
The faces of the Xiongnu princes changed drastically, didn't they get together to discuss how to divide the wealth of King Zuoxian, if they really let the family know that they and others stabbed him in the back, they would definitely have to settle accounts with themselves. Thinking of the powerful force of Zuo Xian's royal department. The princes who were still sobbing a moment ago and wanted a piece of the pie were suddenly hated to death by Toth. In the final analysis, it was all this guy who harmed him, and he wouldn't have come if he knew that he wouldn't have come.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you don't have to worry too much, with Father Khan and I rushing to the front, King Zuoxian doesn't dare to do anything to you. As long as we succeed in destroying him, I promise that we will share the fruits of victory with you! Toth raised his glass in encouragement.
Coercion and temptation, radish and stick, tossing down, the desperate Hun prince had to grit his teeth, anyway, wealth and danger are sought, then gamble! As a result, the first wave of Toth's team was formed.
When Tou Manshan Yu learned that his son was going to run away with the army, he was so angry that he almost didn't vomit out the old blood. Tomorrow is going to attack the city, what do you mean by you running away for me now? Do you still have me in your eyes?
"Strategist, Strategist, Atilu, you say, what should I do?" The first thing Touman remembered was his closest comrade-in-arms, Atilu, who had been with him for decades.
"Shan Yu, Atilu fornicated with King Zuoxian, and the evidence is conclusive. It's been taken! Hu Yanhao reminded in a low voice.
"Oh, remember!" Touman was slightly stunned, sighed, shook his head and said, "Send someone to pass a message to me, let Mao Dun come over, and say that I have something to say to him!" ”
Hu Yanhao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and retreated.
In the camp tent of King Zuo Xian, Mao Dun looked at the soldiers who were passing the word with a gloomy face, and did not say a word, and the wooden drum on the side waved his hand to let the soldiers go back first to tell him, and King Zuo Xian arrived later.
"Strategist, do you say that the old thing is a Hongmen banquet, I'm afraid it won't end well!" Maudun was already a frightened bird, and he was scared at the slightest disturbance.
"I can't talk about the Hongmen Banquet, but at this juncture, just let you go, I must be planning to deal with you!" The wooden drum played implicitly.
"In that case, then the king will not fall for him!" Mao Dun snorted coldly and ignored it again. The wooden drum also nodded in acquiescence.
After the soldier went back to pass the word, the head man sat on the tiger skin chair, waiting for his son to come and ask for the guilt, waiting left and right, but he didn't see Mao Dun coming, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, and when he was about to send someone to investigate again, Hu Yanhao came in in a panic.
"Shan Yu, the big thing is not good, King Zuoxian's army has been assembled, and the rear army has begun to retreat!"
Tou Man pulled out the golden scimitar and slashed the table in front of him into two pieces. "Rebel, is he going to be angry with me?"
"Shan Yu, without a military order, the soldiers dare not stop it. What do you think about this? "Although Zhilu Dao Maodun withdrew his troops privately, he is still the king of Zuoxian of the Huns, second only to Touman. What he was going to do, no one really dared to stop him.
Tou Man played with the arrow hanging on his waist to mobilize the army, and wanted to pull it out several times and hand it to Hu Yanhao, but he still didn't do it.
"Hu Yanhao. Bring 10,000 armor and ride over to stop that rebel for me. Bring him to me! Touman arranged.
Hu Yanhao looked at the arrow on Touman's waist, very greedy. This arrow had a strong influence in the Xiongnu, and with this arrow, any Xiongnu army could be mobilized. But Touman must take into account the overall situation, if he mobilizes the army with great fanfare. That is counterinsurgency. The problem is bound to worsen, and once you take the trouble and make a mistake, you will lead the people to resist stubbornly. That would only make the mermaid profitable.
"Yes, but Shan Yu. Zuo Xian Wang is brave and good at fighting. If he doesn't listen to the villain. Just be afraid, just be afraid! Hu Yanhao hinted very vaguely to Touman. Maudun is your son, and he has a great army. If he doesn't obey the order, I can't help him.
"It's best to be able to bring him back, if it really doesn't work, let him go!" Touman pondered for a moment.
Hu Yanhao nodded and stepped back. He knew that Shan Yu had not yet been ruthless towards Mao. It is futile to persuade yourself.
"Maoton, Maoton, I hope you don't let me down!" Touman sat in an empty tent, unspeakably disheartened.
Although I don't know why Lu Dao wanted to set off in such a hurry, the Huns have always been accustomed to obeying the strong, so after the order was issued, tens of thousands of troops immediately packed up and waited for the last order.
"Lord Wang, the army is ready, and it can set off at any time!" The wooden drum beat reported to Maudon again.
"Let's go!" Maudun took a deep breath, walked out of the tent without looking back, mounted his mount, and prepared to retreat back to the grassland under the guard of the guards.
Not long after Maudun's army left, Hu Yanhao chased after him with 10,000 elite armored cavalry.
"Stop, stop, just have an order, Zuo Xian Wang's department is not allowed to retreat!" Hu Yanhao's heralds kept shouting to the soldiers of Zuo Xianwang's department, and they also achieved great results, and many soldiers slowly stopped.
"What's going on? How did the team stop? Mao Dun, who was surrounded by everyone, frowned.
"Report, Lord Wang, General Hu Yanhao blocked the road with a cavalry in front and didn't let us go!" A general who had opened the way in front came back to report.
"Hu Yanhao, why is he here? Could it be that the old thing asked him to bring someone to arrest me? Maudun exclaimed.
The wooden drum beating is now the backbone of Mao Dun, and as a military advisor, he has to give advice to Mao Dun in the most critical bald head, so as to reflect his value.
"Lord Wang, since Shan Yu has even dispatched the armor horse, he must be going to move seriously, you are going, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious!" The wooden drum beat worriedly.
"In that case, I can't go back with him! If the old thing still thinks of a trace of family affection, he will definitely let Hu Yanhao see the opportunity to act and not fight hard with me. In that case, I will be able to successfully return to the grassland. If he kills me, then the 100,000 warriors of my Zuoxian Wang's department will not eat dry food! "Maudun has a lot of confidence in his own force. As long as it successfully returns to the tribe, it is the tiger returning to the mountain and the dragon entering the sea. No one can help him.
What the wooden drum wanted was Mao Dun's fearless attitude, and he immediately ordered instead of Mao Dun, "Notify the vanguard, rush over directly, except for Shan Yu who is present in person, no matter who the others are, as long as they block it, they will be the enemy of my Zuo Xian Wang's department." Shoot and kill! ”
The order of the wooden drum was passed down by the heralds very responsibly, and the vanguard army against Huyan Haojia was originally Mao Dun's henchman, so many people have no impression of Tou Man at all, and are only loyal to Zuo Xian Wang Mao Dun. Therefore, when the military order came, the generals did not hesitate, and with a wave of the scimitar, the army rushed directly to the front, which had the potential to tear Hu Yanhao and others to pieces.
Hu Yanhao was also dumbfounded when he saw this situation, this Mao Dun is too cruel, how can you negotiate with me. If you can't let go of your body, you can send someone to pass me a message. What does this mean? Send someone up to me without saying hello? Isn't that bullying?
Before the sad Hu Yanhao set off, Shan Yu told him that he would never make a move with Mao Dun, even if Mao Dun took the initiative to attack him. Therefore, although Hu Yanhao also has more than 10,000 people, he has the strength to fight. But he didn't dare, so he could only ask his subordinates to make a way.
"Lord Wang, you guessed right. Shan Yu really didn't rush to kill them all, Hu Yanhao obediently got out of the way! The army marched forward at a brisk pace, without the slightest hindrance, which relieved the wooden drums. But Mao Dun was not so happy, he knew that maybe this was the last time that his father Khan had opened up to himself in this life.
The army retreated in a hurry, and Hu Yanhao scattered with 10,000 people on both sides and looked stupidly, not knowing what to do, thinking that they were here to see them off.
"General, are we just watching?" Hu Yanhao's subordinates were unwilling.
"Or else? What else can I do? There are so many of them. Hitting is definitely not a no-go. And I won't let you fight alone! Take a look, look at it for a while and we'll leave! Hu Yanhao is very calm, anyway, he can't do them, so it's better to watch them leave. Go back and say a few words in front of Shan Yu. ok。 Let's live!
The efficiency of the cavalry is still very fast. In less than an hour, tens of thousands of troops left, and Hu Yanhao kept watching the next batch of troops disappear from his field of vision. Then he swaggered back to hand over.
has followed Touman for so many years, what kind of character he is, Hu Yanhao himself knows it. No matter how bastard Mao Dun is, that is also his son, and the tiger poison does not eat children. Don't look at Touman's fierce look. But if he really wants to poison his son, he really can't bear it. So although Hu Yanhao took 10,000 people to fight soy sauce for half a day, he didn't get anything, and no one stopped him. But Touman did not criticize him, but praised him, which surprised everyone.
The early morning of the grassland is extraordinarily magnificent, and the vast reeds and grass roll with long golden red waves. A magnificent camp of all kinds of military tents, chariots, flags, and spears. The melodious and heavy horn accompanied Xiao Xiao and the horse roared one after another.
When the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army on the city pass looked into the distance, they suddenly found that the Huns in the distance seemed to be missing. At first, the soldiers thought that they had not woken up, but after repeated confirmation by countless people, everyone was sure that some of the Huns had mysteriously disappeared.
The generals who learned the news quickly passed this information to the higher-ranking generals, and soon, Xiahou Yong, Six Doors. Liangzhou Prefecture Mu, and a large number of other powerful figures have received this news. Countless high-ranking officials and generals began to wonder in their hearts what the Huns were doing.
The people of the Six Doors immediately transmitted the news through their channels, and I believe that it will not be long before this news will appear on the archives of the Ministry of War.
"It's strange, looking at this momentum, it seems that the army of King Zuo Xian is gone!" Xiahou Yong stood on the city pass and was puzzled.
"Could it be that the Huns are already ready to do it?" Sun Xianyong speculated on the side.
"That doesn't make sense, if the Huns are already planning to attack the city, then they should gather troops, how can they make a move to divide the troops, this is not logical!" Xiahou Yong has fought with the Huns all his life, and of course he can see the strangeness in this.
Could it be that the Huns are planning to attack on two fronts and take us by surprise? Sun Xianyong thought of another possibility.
"This is possible, let people notify Yang Xuhui and Ye Pengxin, and let them be vigilant!" Xiahou Yong nodded and commanded.
The Huben army here couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in the Huns' gourd, and the Huns were also holding meetings and discussing it internally.
"Let's talk, is this battle fought or not? Big fight or small fight? Touman looked at the princes and generals in a tent and said.
"Hit, how? Shan Yu, the strength of this Zuo Xian Wang is still the strongest, he didn't say a word last night, and tens of thousands of troops slipped away so silently, we still don't know what's going on with Lu Dao? How will this battle be fought? Uwe changed his previous Madahar and was the first to jump out and question.
"Yes, yes, what the Right Virtuous King said is not unreasonable, what is this Zuo Xianwang going for? I have to say to the big guy, what does it mean to withdraw the troops without making a sound? Many Xiongnu princes stood up unequivocally to express their support for Uwe, after all, this is also related to their vital interests.
Toth has been sitting on the side and pretending to be innocent, but he can't help but feel a little proud in his heart, he feels that he is still quite capable, at least the current situation is developing in his favor. More and more Xiongnu kings were dissatisfied with Maudun.
Touman looked at the excited subordinates, and also felt a headache. On the surface, this is just Mao Dun's private heart, but the problem is that he is his own son, the future leader of the Huns, but he escaped when he was fighting against the enemy, this impact is too bad, at least it is greedy for life and fear of death to preserve strength, and at worst it is not courageous to take responsibility. For the Huns, a coward is never worthy of respect, especially a coward who abandons his comrades.
"Everybody be quiet and listen to me. I will definitely investigate this matter clearly, and then give you a reasonable explanation! Touman kept patting the table and reconciled.
The vast majority of princes were dismissive of Touman's promises. Of course, their thoughts are: you are father and son, and you must be heart-to-heart, advancing and retreating together. The so-called investigation is just a show and has no practical meaning. It's impossible to find out anything!
"Ladies and gentlemen, Father Khan gathered everyone here today, not to discuss the withdrawal of my eldest brother's troops, but how to use troops against the Han people. I hope you don't deviate from the topic, if there is anything, after we finish talking about it, it will not be too late to discuss! Seeing the chaotic situation, Toth stood up and waved his arms and shouted loudly, making all the Hun princes who were discussing shut up. (To be continued......)
