The heavy rain was still drenching, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

The tent was still brightly lit, and Han Xin frowned and clung to the map hanging on the wall, staring at it for a long time.

Rubbing his somewhat sore eyes, Han Xin took his gaze off the flip chart and stretched his muscles.

It was already the middle of the night, and the barracks was quiet, except for the occasional footsteps of the night watchmen accompanied by the sound of rain.

Although this large camp was built in the open air, because it was built on high ground and surrounded by cowhide material with excellent waterproofing, although it was raining, the camp remained dry and did not smell of mildew like other camps.

Although Yiqu is not a big city, it is also the seat of the Beidi County, and there is no shortage of comfortable official mansions in the city, and there is even a simple emperor's palace. However, Han Xin did not set up the general's festival tent there, but set it up in a humble camp outside the city.

Han Xin naturally has his reasons for doing this, in the long-term garrison, one can maintain the fastest military information on the front line, and on the other hand, he can firmly grasp the control of the army to prevent unexpected situations.

Looking at the continuous drizzle outside the window, and looking along the firelight in the distance, a figure could be faintly seen kneeling in the rain. Han Xin was silent for a long time before he shouted; "White Joy."

The curtain flipped, and a person hurriedly flashed in, it was Bai Xi, the captain of Han Xin's personal army. Because there were still small accounts connected to the big tent, Bai Xi was not wet in the rain, and Lisuo knelt down on one knee and saluted; "Humble duty."

"What time is it?"

Bai Xi stood up and replied; "It's just past the hour, now it's about two minutes, what do you have to say, General."

Han Xin said in a deep voice; "Go and bring Zhao Wuji over."

Bai Xi was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted and said; "No." He immediately turned and left.

Zhao Wuji has been kneeling for nearly two days and two nights, but he still holds his knees. When Bai Xi and the others arrived, he had almost fainted, and he was holding on there with a hard breath.

Seeing Zhao Wuji's body crumbling, Bai Xi hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to support him, and then beckoned his men to carry Zhao Wuji into a nearby tent.

In the dim light, I saw Zhao Wuji closing his eyes and saying nothing, his face was already pale from the cold, and his tower-like body trembled like chaff. Bai Xi hurriedly took out the hot wine that had been prepared from his arms and poured a few sips for Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji choked for a while, finally came to his senses, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Bai Xi was a veteran in the army, and naturally knew that people who were suffering from the cold should massage their bodies with hot wine to be the most effective, so he beckoned his subordinates to take off Zhao Wuji's soaked armor, but Zhao Wuji hurriedly stopped him and refused to change his clothes. Bai Xiren was good at things, and when he thought about it, he knew that Zhao Wuji was pretending to be a gesture, and he wanted to get more pity from the general, so he also smiled and stopped insisting.

Zhao Wuji took the wine bag and took a few more sips before handing it back and said in a low voice; "Help me to see the general."

The two accompanied Zhao Wuji and walked towards Han Xin's camp, but outside the tent, Zhao Wuji stretched out his hand to push the two away, straightened the wet hair on his forehead, and did not pass it on, and rushed directly into Han Xin's camp, bowing his head and kneeling.

Han Xin's eyes fell on him, still with some anger at first, and when he saw his soaked and pale face, he said in a slightly soothing tone; "Get up."

"Sin will not dare to rise." Zhao Wuji fought with his teeth and said tremblingly.

Han Xin snorted heavily and said; "You still know that you are wrong, how did I explain to you in the first place, and let you divide your troops to garrison the Great Wall. You're good, not only did the Great Wall lose and even retreat to Fushi was cut off by others, do you know what kind of crime should be committed if the Qin generals were derelict in their duties before the war and led to a big defeat? ”

Zhao Wuji trembled in his heart, but he said stubbornly; "According to the law, you should be killed."

Han Xin glared at him, "You also know that you deserve to die, in vain you Hetian City has followed me for so many years, how can you make such a mistake so carelessly, what do you want me to say about you." Tian Shi is still tough, at least he died on the battlefield to buy precious time for the retreat of the main force, but what about you? Even if I had the heart to spare you, inward gossip could easily kill you. ”

"You must know that national law cannot be abolished, and military law cannot be abolished!"

When Zhao Wuji heard Han Xin's reprimand, he felt a lot more relieved, he knew that his life was saved for the time being. So he stepped forward and kowtowed bitterly; "General, Lao Tian's death is indeed my fault. I don't dare to hope that you will spare me, just ask me to give me a war horse and a knife, and I will go to the Huns to avenge Lao Tian. ”

Han Xin also knew that he was kidnapped back to Yiqu by someone sent by Tian City, and looked at him with a sad look. Although some of them are pretending to be pitiful, most of them are true feelings. You must know that Tian Shi and he have known each other since the Northern Army, and the relationship has been close and harmonious since then, Tian Shi's vain death Zhao Wuji must be grief-stricken, and this relationship cannot be fake.

Han Xin looked away from Zhao Wuji and said in a deep voice; "Someone."

Wang Xi pushed the curtain in response and saluted; "Humble duty."

"Pass on my general order, cut off all Zhao Wuji's military positions and titles, and keep them in the army for later use,"

"No." Wang Xi retreated.

Although Zhao Wuji had already expected this kind of ending, he still couldn't help but look gloomy when it came to the end, and Nuo Nuo fell to the ground and bowed his head silently.

The fame and wealth of this body were all earned by sacrificing his life on the battlefield for many years, and now Han Xin's fluttering words left him with nothing, how could he not be disheartened in his heart.

Han Xin stared at him tightly and said; "Do you have a grudge against me in your heart?"

Zhao Wuji leaned over, still bowing his head, and said with a gloomy expression; "Zhao Wuji doesn't dare to resent, I know in my heart that cutting my post and taking the title is already the most tolerant result that the general can win for me, I don't dare to make it difficult for the general."

Han Xin was silent for a while and said slowly; "If you are unwilling in your heart, I will give you the opportunity to atone for your sins, but this matter is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be killed, I don't know if you have the courage to do it."

When Zhao Wuji heard this, he suddenly saw hope, Huo De stood up and said; "General, I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of what Rausch is very dangerous, as long as you give me a chance to atone for my sins, even if I die a hundred times, I'm willing."

Han Xin nodded, "Okay, this is worthy of my Han Xin's subordinate." I'll give you a day's rest, and after a day, you'll immediately roll me back into the army to be dispatched. ”

Zhao Wuji knelt down and shouted loudly; "No."

…….

On a field, a large number of cattle and sheep ran to bring up the loess dust all over the world, and the shepherds who drove the cattle and sheep were all gray-faced, but everyone was full of cheerful smiles.

The news of the victory at the front has spread throughout the grassland, and the old and weak women and children who have stayed behind in the grassland have celebrated with revelry. As Maudun's military order was issued, tribes drove their flocks into the Great Wall.

The Xiongnu were a people who relied on captivity and supply, but the caution of the Qin people did not leave them too much surplus food, so they had to take the initiative to order the transfer of dozens of Xiongnu tribes to Shangjun, relying on grazing while providing supplies for the army.

This tribe is the Alin tribe that belongs to the evil king of Hun evil, but it is not the real Xiongnu, but the Donghu tribe that was annexed by the Xiongnu after the destruction of Donghu. However, the grassland has always been respected by strength, and it is too normal for the rise and fall of countries to be reckless, so the Alin Ministry does not have too much rejection of integrating into the Xiongnu. When the Xiongnu army won a great victory in Qindi, when the booty brought back by the men who accompanied the army was sent back to the tribe, the whole tribe also cheered, and immediately responded to Mao Dun's order and took the lead in moving into the southern foot of the Great Wall.

You must know that although Longbei is a poor land compared to Guanzhong, it is a rare fertile grassland compared to the barren grassland. For this reason, how could Alin not be excited, not only did not complain about Maudun for letting them leave their homeland, but secretly thanked him for taking care of the tribe.

The old patriarch Amoturin brandished his whip on his horse, shouting loudly urging his people to speed up the process.

A large, one-armed man wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained loudly to Amoturain; "Patriarch, the strong men in the tribe have gone to war, and those who are left behind are old and weak, how can you let us speed up, I'm afraid we will be tired to death if we go faster,"

Amotulin glared at the one-armed man fiercely, but he also knew in his heart that this was the truth, so he had to say hatefully; "What can I do, General Gehu, who escorted me, said that we must rush to the camp before dark, and if we can't make it, we will be dealt with by military law. You must know that those zero-ding barbarians have never had a good impression of us Donghuke. ”

The one-armed man opened his mouth and looked at the thousands of cavalry wandering outside the clan, but he didn't know what to say.

The 5,000 cavalry sent by Shan Yu to escort their tribe were from the Ding Ling tribe who returned to the Xiongnu, and Ding Ling and Donghu were mortal enemies on the grassland back then, so that General Ge Xiu definitely didn't mind putting on small shoes for his tribe. In desperation, he had to turn the horse's head and return to the team and shout at the troops to speed up their hands and feet.

At this moment, a sharp-eyed young man at the front of the group suddenly shouted on his horse; "Look, look over there."

Everyone followed the young man's point in the distance, only to see a black line faintly appear at the end of the sky, and after a while, a large force of cavalry poured out.

"Enemy attack!"

The shouts of tearing rang out, and the shouts were filled with fear, and the whole tribe was thrown into disarray, and the herdsmen and livestock ran like headless flies.

The old patriarch Amotulin suddenly panicked, you must know that the young men in the tribe have already followed Shan Yu to the front line to fight, although there are still more than 20,000 people in the tribe, but the rest are old and weak women and children, how can they fight.

The only hope at the moment was the 5,000 cavalry of Ding Lingren.

This is the leader of the Ding Ling people, Ge Xiu, who has already arrived with a large group of cavalry, and the first burst of horsewhips has been whipped, whipping the Alin people who are fleeing with their heads in their hands.

Ge Xiu shouted loudly on his horse, "What are you panicking, you unsightly pariahs, that is our own army of the Huns, give me back, if you lose a sheep every time you run away, I will kill you alone." ”

Ge Hugh's intimidation was very effective, and the Alin people quickly calmed down when they heard that it was their own. As the army approached, it shifted from running to pacing, so that there was no hostility. The banner of this army does not look like that of the Huns, but it is obviously a tribe on the steppe, and some veterans who have fought many battles have recognized their banners and costumes as a subordinate tribe of the Huns, the Loufu Division.

Many people have already shouted loudly, "It's the building that is annoying, the building is annoying." ”

Many herdsmen were relieved to hear this shout, Lou Fu has always been respectful to the Huns, and has never betrayed, so it is their own people, so naturally there is nothing to worry about. Thinking that Shan Yu might not be able to rest assured of his tribe, he sent another team of men and horses to greet him.

As the cavalry of the Lou Fu Department got closer and closer, more and more people realized that something was wrong. The speed of the follow-up cavalry of the Loufu tribe gradually increased, as if they were charging fatally, and among them, many of the cavalry had also tightly grasped their weapons, and the hideous ground made people feel a trace of uneasiness and panic.

Countless black dots suddenly flew out of the formation of the towering cavalry who were charging forward. People appeared in horror. Those black dots are sharp arrows. And these sharp arrow targets are where the Alin people are. Then a large number of cavalry suddenly broke away from the slow cavalry in front of them, and instead brandished their swords and roared loudly at the Huns.

Ge Xiu, who had not yet come back to his senses, was suddenly like a lightning strike, until the heart-rending shout of the old patriarch Amoturin beside him sounded, and then he reacted and hurriedly shouted; "Line up, return fire."

The 5,000 Hun cavalry who hurriedly counterattacked were rushed by more than 10,000 elite Lou Fu cavalry after a round, and the Lou Fu cavalry effortlessly inserted into the Alin Department by horsepower, and cut off the entire tribe almost effortlessly, and many old and weak who hurriedly got on the horse and wanted to resist died under the knife of the Lou Fu cavalry before they had time to dodge.

After the Lou Fu cavalry successfully completed a puncture, they turned their horses' heads and killed again, and the entire Huns suddenly collapsed before the enemy's fierce attack. The panicked herdsmen fled in all directions, but were easily killed by the chasing cavalry. Seeing that it was not low, Ge Xiu turned his horse's head and fled with the remnants of the tribe, completely ignoring the life and death of the Alin tribe.

"Coward." Amotulin spat heavily at Ge Xiu, and when he looked up and saw his own people dead under the sudden cavalry swords, his heart suddenly dripped. Hurriedly waved his hands on the horse and shouted: "Stop fighting, we surrender, we surrender!" ”

The rule on the steppe is that the loser surrenders to the winner, and if there is no deep hatred, few people will do the practice of killing the rival tribe, because the population of the steppe is the most valuable asset. Therefore, it is natural for Amor Tulin to think that these Lou Annoying people will accept his surrender, although it is useless in his confused mind to figure out what is going on, why Lou Nuren wants to kill the Alin Ministry, who is also a Hun.

But soon Amoturin realized that he was very wrong, and these Loufu cavalry did not stop killing because of their own shouts, but were attracted by their own shouts.

Amoturin's eyes widened in horror as a young knight rushed towards him as lightning fast. Drawing the knife, slashing horizontally, and returning the sheath, the whole action was done in one go, obviously a standard slashing action immediately, but the opposite of the smile on the young man's face was Amorturin's body was broken into two at the waist, and he died without a snort.

Meng Shi put the knife back into its sheath and muttered; "It's boring". Then he raised his voice and said sharply; "Kill them all, leave nothing alive"

With Meng Shi's order, the Qin soldiers slaughtered the almost unresisted Alin tribesmen even more frantically, and in less than a moment, more than 20,000 corpses were already lying in the wilderness, and only a few clever people took advantage of the chaos to run out.

At this time, there was a burst of applause behind Meng Shi, and a young man from the Huns clapped his hands and walked out. This young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, his face was extremely fair, and the bridge of his nose was straight, although he was extremely handsome, he could know that he was not a Qin person by looking at his appearance.

The young man walked up to Meng Shi, bowed slightly, and said flatteringly with a flattering smile on his face; "This general of the Qin State is really heroic, and your subordinates are even more brave and good at fighting, and they are worthy of being the tiger and wolf army of the powerful Qin State, and they are admired and admired."

Meng Shi smiled and watched the young man coming, but suddenly pulled out his knife and slashed at him, the blade stopped dangerously only an inch in front of the young man's head, and said angrily; "Say, "What is the purpose of what thou hast brought us?" I don't like to listen to lies, but if I find out that you have lied to me, my knife will be cut down immediately, and there will be no lies. ”

The boy's eyes widened. looked directly at the blade fixed in front of his nose, but his face did not change at all, but smiled; "This general of the Qin State, do you know who I am?"

"I'm the prince of Lou Fu, the future King of Lou Fu, Kun Mo, aren't you interested in listening to me?"

"Lou annoying prince!" Meng Shi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help licking his lips, thinking that this is a big fish.

At the beginning, he was ordered by Han Xin to attack the rear of the Xiongnu in Longbei, but because the Xiongnu were powerful, he had little effect. Later, he encountered a tribe that was annoying, and after a scuffle, there were casualties, and Meng Shi saw that he had no choice but to withdraw his troops decisively. Unexpectedly, a young man ran out of the Lou Fu tribe alone, saying that he wanted to cooperate with the Qin State, and told them the news of the entry of the Alin Ministry.

Meng Shi was suspicious of this, and he missed this rare opportunity not far away, so he took the young man hostage, and at the same time relied on this young man to get a lot of annoying banners and costumes. Meng Shi kept an eye on it, and only led half of his men to attack, and the other half was on standby from a distance, ready to support if it was wrong.

This unexpected victory suddenly made Meng Shi raise his eyebrows, and he had a lot of confidence to go back to give Han Xin a business, but his doubts about the young man in his heart were also stronger.

Meng Shi's eyes flickered and he grinned; "Tell me, Venerable Prince Lou, what do you mean by doing this?"

Kun Mo frowned, looked at the blade in front of his nose and said; "General, is this your attitude towards your allies?"

Meng Shi smiled dumbly, then withdrew the knife and said; "Why do I believe you?"

Kun Mo raised his eyebrows, "Just because we have a common enemy, the Huns. ”

Meng Shi narrowed his eyes. "Oh?"

Kun Mo's eyes flashed, but a sinister smile appeared on his face that did not match his slightly immature face, and he continued; "You Qin people want to eliminate the Xiongnu, a big problem, and we have been enslaved by the Xiongnu for generations, and our hatred for them is far greater than yours. The enemy of your enemy is your friend, you should understand that. ”

"I'm doing this just to express my sincerity, now it's your turn to show the sincerity of cooperation, you can tell your general Han Xin when you go back, and ask him if he still remembers the annoying young man in Mobei back then, if he intends to cooperate, please send someone to my camp, I know he has a way."
