The arm could not twist the thigh.

Under the strong advice of Sumeru Butong, Huyan Evil finally did not defeat the battle, from the Mobei Royal Court on the bank of the Hannan River to Kobdo Lake, with the cavalry's footsteps only need one day and one night, in such a short period of time, the Huyan tribe has no time to transfer, as for the assembly of Liliang and Mao Dun to break up, Huyan Evil does not have that courage.

The hinterland of the Central Plains.

Li Yuan, the Shenwu King of Qin, is a symbol of undefeated and always victorious; And in the northern prairie, the prestige of Mao Dun is also not far behind, countless heroes of the grassland tribes died under Mao Dun's knife, and their lessons from the past made Hu Yanevil dare not act rashly.

The Huyan tribe is ready to go.

The long sound of the beeping sound resounded under the sky of Lake Kobdo, and one after another the Huns came out of the low tents, took their mounts, brought their simple leather armor, and arrows sharpened from animal bones in the quiver, and set out for the battle.

In his bones, every Xiongnu man longed to prove himself from the killing of tribal conflicts, to plunder back the women and wealth of other tribes, and then enrich his tent, so that these women with strong hips could give birth to one offspring after another for themselves.

However, when they learned from the Chinese army of King Youxian that they were going to go to Hexi to attack the Qin State this time, the warriors of these Huyan tribes were demoralized one by one.

For every Hun who escaped from Hexi, the Qin army is an unbearable memory, at the beginning, the Zhelan tribe, the Huyan tribe and the Tiefu tribe, the three tribes of nearly 150,000 warriors occupied Yanqi Mountain, Qilian Mountain, Heishui River, Juyanhai This large area of lush grassland, and controlled the Silk Road between the east and west, the life of the Huns can be described as a spring breeze, but under the attack of less than 100,000 Qin troops, the Huns were defeated in successive battles, and the two tribes of Zuihou Zhelan and Tiefu were beaten to no longer exist, If the Huyan tribe were not for the "wise" command of the Huyan evil. Perhaps, like the other two tribes, the entire clan has now become prisoners of war of the Qin state.

With a nervous mood, the Huyan tribe embarked on the road south, and Sumeru Butong followed the side of the right sage king Huyan evil all the way in the form of a de facto supervising army, which made the Huyan evil who wanted to save a little Liliang on the shore of Lake Kobdo never found any opportunity.

The Huns were fierce.

On the galloping road at the foot of Qilian Mountain, a team of Qin rode fast horses, galloping and rolling up thousands of layers of dust, which made the logistics soldiers who were transporting heavy grain to the Western Regions envious.

Dunhuang.

With the westward expedition of the Qin army of the brigade. This oasis city, located at the foot of Mingsha Mountain, has become the most important bridgehead on the western front of the Qin State, and a large number of materials are transported here from Guanzhong and Bashu, and then through Loulan and Gushi, all the way to the Qin army that is fighting against the Dayue clan.

After Gan Yong succeeded Li Zhongxiang as the commander of Hexi, he moved his garrison from Gaizang City to Dunhuang, which was not because Gan Yong was also eager to go west, but because he needed to lengthen the battle line.

The Western Regions are vast.

With the current projection capacity of the Qin army, as well as the transportation conditions of this era. If the rear supply area is too far away from the front line, it is very likely to cause a supply failure, and whether it is a natural disaster or a sneak attack by the enemy, for the officers and soldiers of the Qin army who are fighting on the front line. Without food and weapons, how can we win this war?

End of May.

In the newly built Dunhuang County Guard, Gan Yong received Meng Hu, a former court lieutenant who had just come to Hexi to inspect and now the chief supervisor of the Military Intelligence Department. At the military level, Li Yuan has always hoped that there will be talented people who are good at military affairs to analyze some clues. Find out the weaknesses of the Huns from it.

After Bai Guangji was killed, Li Yuan decided to hand over the task of collecting intelligence on the Xiongnu and other alien races to Meng Hu, who had already faded out of the military system.

There are two reasons for this:

One of them is Menghu's ability. Born in the border army system, he is very familiar with the Huns in the northern grasslands, and the current biggest enemy of Qin is the Xiongnu. In addition, in the analysis of military capabilities, Meng Hu not only has actual combat experience, but also has the experience of being an official in the central court, and according to the criteria for promoting officials according to the considerations of later generations, that is, they have been sent from top to bottom, have rich experience in grassroots work, and have experience in working in organs, such talents are worth reusing.

The second is that Li Yuan is out of consideration for protection. After the political dispute between Chen Ping and Li Zheng, Menghu's Tingwei Mansion was on Li Zheng's side, which made Chen Ping and the Qin internal affairs officials who stood on his side very dissatisfied. They thought that Meng Hu, who had always had a good personal relationship, would be on their side, but it turned out to be the opposite.

Love and law.

When faced with a decision, Meng Hu, like his ancestors Meng Yi and Meng Tian, always followed their inner persistence, which may be the reason why Mengshi has become an important minister of Qin for several generations.

In order to calm down the accusations and dissatisfaction with Meng Hu, and also to let Meng Hu avoid the limelight of discussions, Li Yuan, after thinking twice and soliciting Meng Hu's opinions, decided to agree to Meng Hu's resignation from the post of court lieutenant and to take up the official post of the Military Intelligence Department instead.

At the same time, the main responsibility of Yan Le, who was also the chief supervisor of the Chang'an Order, was transferred to the domestic side, inspecting and secretly visiting the people's conditions in various counties and counties, which gradually became Yan Le's main business.

Menghu's visit to Hexi this time was to get the urgent military information from the Huyan tribe of the southern Xiongnu Huyan tribe, from Kobdo Lake to Dunhuang and Gaizang, the straight-line distance was only more than 300 li, if the Huns advanced in the way of light cavalry, Dunhuang City was very likely to be caught off guard in the case of unpreparedness.

Fortunately, when Menghu arrived here again, he found that Gan Yong had been prepared, and the entire city was built by the soldiers of the Qin army, along the terrain of Mingsha Mountain and Moon Lake, and a long rammed earth city wall was built.

On the city walls.

Meng Hu accompanied by Gan Yong, went to the city to inspect, compared with the younger Gan Yong, Meng Hu can be said to be the first to take refuge in Li Yuan's heavy generals, just because of his border army background, not as eye-catching as Luo Jia, Wang Shang, and Li Zhongxiang, but Gan Yong knew that Meng Hu was no better than other border army generals, and he had a lot of weight in Li Yuan's mind.

"Ganjun Shou, according to Meng's knowledge, your department has less than 10,000 baggage soldiers, and there are crossbowmen shooting holes on this city wall, and there are Yongdao for counterattack, and now the Huns can have nearly 60,000 or 70,000 people, it is not easy to defend the city, and how can you fight back?" After Meng Hu inspected it, he couldn't help frowning and asked.

"General Meng, come and see, this military report-!" Gan Yong smiled and took out a silk book from his bosom.

Meng Hu took it suspiciously, unfolded it, couldn't help but smile, and said: "I see, Gan Junshou and General Ji Bu's trick to hide the sky and the sea, almost even I have been deceived, this Hun no matter how secretly they probe, I would never have thought that you would come to this carbine." ”

Gan Yong's face turned red with embarrassment, and he said, "The general has said it, this plan is not something that I Gan Yong came up with." If it weren't for General Li and General Ji discussing together, the people of the Dayue clan would be over, and it was hard to have a battle, and it would not be enjoyable to end it so easily, so-! ”

"Therefore, you are wantonly accumulating heavy grain and straw in Dunhuang City, and let out the rumors to let the Huns' spies know, in this way, the Huns will definitely lead the army to attack Dunhuang first, and General Ji's troops, and even General Li's coalition troops, have begun to quietly return to the division." Meng Hu said with a smile.

"The general guessed well, we just want to take this opportunity to lay a net, let the arrogant Huns send themselves to the door, this time the layout, I have sent someone to fly to Chang'an to report, I believe that King Wu has also received a military report at this time, and our next task is to strike hard at the Huns who come to attack, and strive to let them have no return. And to achieve this goal, General Meng, you also have an important task-! Gan Yong said.

"What do you mean is to let my military intelligence department spread the news that our army will continue to fight and win north of the Tianshan Mountains during this period, so that the Huns will be more convinced that our army in Hexi and Dunhuang is empty and vulnerable, isn't it?" Meng Hu thought about it for a while, and then understood what Gan Yong meant.

"General Meng is really powerful, whether our plan can be successful, it depends on the general, your confusing news, can you make the Huns believe it?" Gan Yong was overjoyed and complimented repeatedly.

"Are you trying to kill me? He has a lot of credit, but don't forget to treat your brother to a good wine banquet? Meng Hu said with a smile as he made his rounds.

The Qin army laid a net.

Just waiting for the Huns to attack, the war clouds in the Hexi area are also approaching with the Huyan tribe Huns, and the situation is becoming more and more tense, some Hu merchants who come and go on the trade road, have chosen to hide in some large cities, protected by solid bluestone city walls, with the Huns' simple siege equipment, it is difficult to break the city.

Lop Nur.

The water and grass are shallow, this Daze with a radius of more than 100 miles, its scale can be called the first in the Western Regions, and its vast sea is completely different from the later generations that only left a barren beach Gobi.

The 10,000 Qin infantry led by Ji Bu and Ji Xin brothers were hiding here at this time, after the Gushi City meeting, Qin, Wusun, and the Western Regions readjusted their combat strategies, and the generals attending the meeting, whether it was Wusun Kunmo Hunting Arrogance, or Li Zhongxiang, and Luo Jia, all agreed that the Dayue clan people no longer had much resistance after the continuous collapse, in other words, the Dayue clan tribe could no longer have the ability to influence the current situation, in this case, it was no longer necessary to continue to use troops against it with a huge number of troops.

In contrast, on the long northern border of the Qin State, the evil wolf of the Huns will seize the opportunity to appear at any time, and in order to stop the counterattack of the fierce wolf, it is necessary to have a well-made animal trap first.

The "Sky Fire" unit in the Jibu army.

Coupled with Li Zhongxiang's coalition forces of the Western Regions and Gan Yong's baggage troops, these Qin armies may not be the opponents of the Hun cavalry if they fight alone, but if they unite and occupy favorable terrain, the Huns will suffer. (To be continued......)
