The 8,000 Qin troops who came across the Hanhai were short of food, weapons, and equipment, and they were all short of anything they could think of.

But they did not lack luck, and the Huns did not find them. After resting for three days, Han Xin led his troops to carefully search north, and found a small Xiongnu tribe of more than 1,000 people by a lake.

The sudden arrival of the Qin army devastated this quiet little tribe, and the adult warriors of the tribe followed Touman to the front, and the old man and half-grown children hurriedly mounted their horses to meet the enemy, apparently their courage could not save their tribe's fate.

More than 1,000 people of the entire tribe were killed, and the wide range of rangers ensured that no one could escape to report the news, and the battlefield was carefully cleaned and the corpses were buried, and the small tribe of the Huns disappeared from the steppe forever.

Han Xin was a little silent in the face of the corpses all over the ground, he still couldn't adapt to the killing, especially since most of them were old and weak, women and children. The war in his mind is more like a duel in the knight novels of his previous life, elegantly taking off his white gloves, throwing them in the other party's face, and then life and death.

Han Xinzhong was still very resistant to killing the old and weak women and children, so he didn't make a move, just watched from a distance, but he didn't stop it.

Because he knows that this is war, and there is no mercy in war. If you let them go, they'll report to the defenders in Manchester. You will never be grateful to Dade for your kindness, but full of hatred for killing their loved ones and plundering their property.

The small tribe's flocks and stockpiles of food fed the hungry Qin army, while the Huns' horses and poor scimitars and hunting bows rearmed a small part of the poorly equipped Qin army. After receiving supplies, the Qin army quickly regained its combat strength and regained the division of tigers and wolves.

Wang Jing's condition has also improved, and he has been able to go on the horse and bend the bow to fight. He did not take back the command of the army as Ding Feng and the others had hoped, but acquiesced to the status quo and became Han Xin's deputy with Luan Ji, obeying his deployment.

Han Xin sent scouts and cavalry around to find out the reality of the Huns and the location of Toumancheng, while carefully hiding his traces to prevent them from being discovered by the Huns prematurely.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and the traces of the Qin army were finally exposed. A team of more than 100 Xiongnu cavalry happened to meet the Qin army detachment that went out to supply, and although the Qin army won in a melee, several Huns took advantage of the chaos to flee back.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Han Xin, Wang Jing and others gathered together, with heavy faces, and discussed countermeasures together.

Wang Jing's face was very ugly, the squad that had the accident this time was from his third battalion, and he naturally knew the seriousness of the matter.

The Qin army had only just come to Mobei, and within a few days of recovery, they had exposed their targets before they could figure out the reality of the Huns, and they were completely in passivity. If the commander of the Huns was a general, he could take advantage of the Qin people's unstable foothold to attack decisively and drive the Qin people back into the Hanhai.

Seeing that Han Xin and the others didn't speak, Wang Jing couldn't help but break the silence and said; "This time it was my subordinate's mistake, Han Xin, you say, how to punish me Wang Jing has no complaints."

Luan Ji said in a deep voice; "Major General, now is not the time to hold accountable, the top priority is to come up with a way to deal with it." After speaking, he also looked at Han Xin.

Han Xin slowly raised his head for a long time, his face was as usual, and he said calmly; "The major general doesn't have to blame himself, in that case it can only be said to be luck, not a crime of war."

"I think it's not all bad this time. I have roughly summarized the situation reported by the scouts in the past few days, and found that our estimate in Monan was too optimistic. Although the Huns went south, their strength in Mobei was still considerable. There are tens of thousands of subordinates in Tou Manchester City, even if we succeed in a sneak attack and attack Tou Manchester City, we may not be able to eat these subordinates, and it is likely that they will surround them. ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Jing asked a little heavily.

"Now that the wood has been completed and we have been discovered by the Huns, it is better to play the banner with great fanfare and spread the word that Touman has been defeated and captured in Monan, and the Hun army is completely annihilated. Great Qin's army is bypassing the Hanhai Sea and advancing towards Mobei, and we are only the vanguard. ”

"Luan Junhou, you take your headquarters to the east, and when you go to the Hun tribe, you will burn and plunder, and the captives will be released back to the old and weak, so that they can go back and spread the news that the Qin army is coming. If you encounter a large force of the Huns, retreat and do not entangle with it. Just remember a few words, pester, don't fight, try to create momentum, but don't fight for a long time. We use the beacon as the signal to echo each other from afar. ”

"No." Luan Ji had completely assumed the posture of a subordinate at this time and answered loudly.

"Major General."

"Yes." Wang Jing replied in a rough voice.

Han Xin smiled slightly, and bowed; "You, like Luan Junhou, are heading west, and I will lead the five battalions as the middle road. Remember not to fight, but to preserve your strength. ”

"No."

"Fellow comrades." Han Xin stood up, and the generals also stood up.

"Now that our army is in the place of survival, when it comes to life and death, only ten thousand people can win with one heart, and I hope you will help me."

The generals shouted in unison: "Obey your command." ”

*******

Subu Ju Ciyun is sixty this year, and the people on the prairie have to face war and hunger all the time, so the average life expectancy is not very long, and the age of Subu Juciyun is already a rare longevity among the Huns.

Xu Bu Ju Ciyun was born in the second largest surname of the Xiongnu, and when he was young, he followed the predecessor of the Xiongnu, Shan Yu, to fight everywhere, and he can be regarded as a brave and warlike grassland warrior. After the death of the previous Shan Yu at the hands of Li Mu, he turned his allegiance to the new Shan Yu Touman, helping him kill the Huyan clan who attempted to usurp the throne.

Subu Juciyun did not have any proud achievements in his life, nor was he a brave general on the grassland who terrified his opponents, but he won the trust of Touman, ranking in the right bone duhou, and was the second most important subordinate official of the tribe directly under Dadanyu, second only to the left guduhou.

You must know that most of the twenty-four chiefs of the Xiongnu are served by people from the Shan Yu family, and he is a person with a foreign surname, but he can be placed in such an important position by Touman, which shows Touman's trust in him.

So he is very content, never fights for anything, but is loyal to Touman. He was also unashamed, and often boasted of himself as the most faithful dog in front of others.

Subu Juciyun has no ability in his life, and the only thing that makes him proud is that he hugged Touman's thigh, and he firmly carried out Touman's orders at any time, so Touman was relieved to deliver the entire royal court and Mobei to him after the army went south.

It stands to reason that at his age, he should have gone home a long time ago to enjoy the blessings, but he still worked tirelessly. As soon as he heard that Da Shan Yu was going south, he ran to be the first to ask for help. Seeing that he was old and boneless, Touman naturally wouldn't let him go south, and it just so happened that the young generals didn't want to stay in the royal city, so they handed over this important task to him.

It's not so much a heavy responsibility as an idle errand. Donghu in the east of the Xiongnu also followed Touman to Liaodong and Liaoxi counties in the northeast of Qin to see if he could take advantage of them. The Yueshi and the Qiang people were in full swing, and they had no time to take care of the Xiongnu, and as for the remnants of the Ding Ling tribe in the north, they had already been beaten by the Huns.

So in general, Subju Ciyun hardly has to worry about anything, as long as he sits comfortably in the royal city, thinking about which unlucky tribe's bamboo pole to knock on tomorrow and make a fortune.

It's a pity that his good days are over, and now he has a sad face on his old face, full of wrinkles.

I don't know where a Qin army has appeared, and it has attacked dozens of tribes in the past ten days, turning the entire grassland upside down. At first, when Su Bu Ju Ciyun heard that the two soldiers who had fled back said that they had met the Qin army, he was still suspicious of it, thinking that it might be a new group of horse thieves, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, this group of 'horse thieves' became more and more fierce, not only cutting off the trade routes on the grassland, but also attacking the tribes of the Huns everywhere. This group of men and horses was dressed in rags, but they carried the banner of the Qin army, and they were extremely fierce.

The people in the grassland were suddenly panicked, and it was rumored that Touman had been wiped out in Monan, and the Qin people were about to fight in Mobei. Even with Subu Ju Ciyun, he was suspicious, and while closing the city gate and taking strict precautions, he sent light horsemen south to investigate. But it takes a month to go back and forth in the south.

Most of the men on the grassland invaded with Tou Mannan, leaving behind some women, children, old and weak, where would they be the opponents of the tiger wolf Qin army. Fortunately, the Qin army was all hundreds of people, and they just ran to plunder, and they left as soon as they succeeded, and they did not love war. Even so, the tribes of the Huns are also bitter, seeing that the winter is about to end, if the grain is insufficient, then it will be difficult to survive this winter.

So many tribal patriarchs came to Manchester City to beg for Subu Ju Ciyun, and asked him to send troops to exterminate this Qin army. However, Subu Juciyun remembered Touman's instructions to let him guard Touman's city before leaving, and refused to send troops, but only guarded the city behind closed doors. The tribal chiefs saw that Subju Ciyun only accepted gifts, but refused to do anything, so they had no choice but to find another way.

On this day, Subu Juciyun was still sitting leisurely in the house drinking mare's milk wine, but when he saw the door being kicked open with a 'bang', he walked in with a curse. Subu Juciyun was still angry and stood up and wanted to drink, but when he saw the comer, his anger suddenly disappeared, and he said with a flattering smile; "King Yougu Li, why did you come back to the royal city?"

The person who came was Touman Danyu's own brother, the king of Yougu Li, who was ploughing Hu Ci, he completely ignored Bu Juciyun's flattering smile on his face, but snorted heavily; "If I don't come back, the entire Huns will be sold by you old fellow."

Duli Huci was stationed on the border of the Yue clan on the order of Touman to prevent the Yue clan from attacking, but he received many letters of complaint from the tribal chiefs, saying how Su Bu Ju Ciyun was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, refused to fight, and allowed the Qin army to destroy everywhere in Mobei, and immediately became furious and rushed back to the royal city overnight.

"What do you mean by this?"

Du Li Hu Ci's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said viciously; "How dare you ask me what I mean?"

"Subu Ju Ciyun, I'm going to ask you, the Qin army is only a few thousand, but you are stationed in Touman City and refuse to go out of the city to exterminate it, and you watch my Xiongnu people being killed by the Qin army, what do you mean?"
