Chapter 40: The Ambition of the Huns
According to Ye Chen's speculation, this time the Xiongnu infiltrated in small groups, first choosing some loosely defended places to invade, and then gathering them together to become a huge army.
Although this approach could not really hide from the Zhao state, it could also buy more time and occupy more places before the Zhao army counterattacked.
The reason why those Xiongnu wanted to kill all the people in the county was not only because of their murderous temperament, but also to avoid the leakage of news.
It's just that I didn't expect it, but I happened to be bumped into by myself by mistake. The long-planned invasion was exposed before it even began.
It's just that knowing about this is not enough, it is necessary to defeat the Xiongnu army, not only to complete the task of the system, but also to save the people from suffering.
It's just that he doesn't have much confidence in this incident, and he must take good precautions.
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Chen thought of a person who might be able to solve the trouble in front of him.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen looked at Concubine Yan, stepped forward to explain, and then handed over the token that Le Zhengzi gave him to the other party.
"You show the token to the man, and maybe he can believe it. Whether this is successful or not, don't be reluctant, remember to go early and return early. ”
Concubine Yan put away the token and nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I will do my best." ”
As he spoke, he turned away and went to do what the former had asked him to do.
Watching the other party leave, Ye Chen whispered to himself: "I hope it's too late." ”
At this time, the Snow Girl stepped forward and said, "Where is Sister Scarlet Smoke going?" ”
"It's nothing, just ask her to help me do something."
Ye Chen replied.
When the snow girl heard this, she raised her mouth slightly and said, "If there is anything, just explain it to me, why bother my sister?" ”
Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled lightly, raised his hand and pinched the other party's nose: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this matter is not easy to do, and the time is relatively tight."
Scarlet Smoke's cultivation is higher, and it is more appropriate to do this. Even if something unexpected happens, there is no danger. ”
Hearing this, the Snow Girl nodded: "I know, no matter what you do, I will support it." ”
Ye Chen smiled and hugged the other party's delicate body into his arms and stroked his shoulder.
The Snow Maiden's cheeks were pressed against the former's chest, showing a gentle look, but there was a hint of firmness in her eyes.
She has already decided that from today onwards, she will do her best to cultivate, and she must become a strong person, so that she can be qualified to stand by the side of her beloved.
After the two of them warmed up for a while, the Snow Girl went to study the Blue Sea Heavenly Dragon Song, while Ye Chen was thinking about the next thing.
A county town where even the city walls are in tatters, it is impossible to block the Hun cavalry, and even if Ye Chen can rely on the advantage of sound skills to defeat a thousand, but in the face of more troops, he is definitely certain to die.
It's basically impossible to hold this place in this situation.
Closing his eyes, his brain thought quickly, although he had already asked Concubine Yan to move the rescuers, it was still two to say whether he could find it, and even if he could come, it would take at least ten days to arrive.
At that time, this place had long been pacified by the war horses of the Huns, and even the surrounding cities were probably inevitably a disaster.
If you want to accomplish this difficult task, you have to make some arrangements in advance.
After thinking for a while, Ye Chen gathered all the residents in the county town.
Shuangliu County, which originally had a population of about 2,000, had less than 1,000 people left after the previous massacre.
Then, under his mobilization, these people began to take action.
Although these people did not have the courage to fight against the Xiongnu, they were good at work, and they did whatever they wanted.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen also nodded, he needed to simply transform this place before the arrival of the Huns......
At the same time, in a flat valley two hundred miles away, a dense army was stationed, estimated at tens of thousands at a glance.
In fact, from the perspective of the art of war, a valley like this is not suitable for large-scale people and horses to stay and repair.
The reason why the other party did this was also to hide people's eyes and ears and avoid being discovered by Zhao Guo's spies.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, several sturdy men in leather clothes and armor are gathering together to discuss the next action.
A middle-aged man arrived: "According to the current marching speed, we will be able to reach the border of Zhao in a few days, we must be cautious, and we must not be discovered by the Zhao army."
This plan has been prepared for a long time, and if it succeeds, it will be able to capture six cities such as Pengcheng, Yuecheng, and Fengcheng in one fell swoop before Zhao Guo finds out.
Not only can it tear apart the defense line built by Zhao Jun. Food, women, and money will be as much as you want, and this will be the beginning of the Great Immortal Heaven occupying the Central Plains! ”
Hearing this, the rest of the people were also fanatical and excited.
Over the years, they have had a lot of battles with several countries in the Central Plains, but most of them ended in failure. Although the borders were often raided, they were not really occupied.
Basically, they come over to grab a wave, and then there will be an army to come and expel them, and the cycle repeats.
The Xiongnu will naturally not be satisfied with this status quo, after all, the most fundamental reason why the Xiongnu are poor is that there is no land suitable for cultivation and a safe and comfortable living environment.
So if you want to change this problem, you can only plunder and find ways to grab other people's territory.
However, even though the Central Plains has now been divided into seven countries, it still has terrifying strength, and even if the entire grassland is tied together and one of the kingdoms alone, there may not be much chance of victory.
However, the Huns have a fierce spirit in their bones, even if each invasion itself will have a lot of casualties, but they are still happy to do it, and the offensive is getting stronger and stronger.
This time, the Huns used some brains, changed the strategy of rampage in the past, and used some careful thinking.
In order to lay down a few cities before Zhao Guo reacted, if it could be successful, it would bring great benefits.
At that time, more people and horses can be transported over in a steady stream and built into a base for invading the Central Plains, and at that time, it will not be so easy to deal with them.
Speaking of this, the face of every Xiongnu general showed greed and desire, for these alien races who lived in the wind and sun on the grassland, it was their greatest enjoyment to be able to snatch money and trample on those beautiful women......
