The Huyan tribe sent troops to the west of the river.

Li Zhongxiang, Gan Yong and other generals of the Qin army laid a net of heaven and earth, waiting for the Huns to throw themselves into the net, and then, the changes in the battlefield situation could not be influenced by a simple layout.

Experience teaches.

The nomadic Huyan tribe in the Yanqi Mountain and Juyanhai area is very familiar with the topography of Hexi, although the intercrop under Menghu has tried all his tricks to try to make Hu Yanyi believe that the main force of the Qin army is far away in the Tianshan Mountains, but Hu Yanxi, who has suffered once, does not believe it.

From June to the end of August, for a full three months, the Right Virtuous King Hu Yanyi led his men to fight all over Hexi, they were like a group of wolves wandering everywhere, biting all the prey that could be bitten everywhere, and even the remnants of the Aries tribe who had just arrived in the Qilian Mountains became the target of their attacks.

Fortunately, under Bai Mingying's prior warning, Jin Xi led his troops to escape into the depths of Qilian Mountain, and in this case, Gan Yong almost wanted to give up the idea of setting up an ambush in Dunhuang several times. Fortunately, at this time, Menghu's Military Intelligence Department came into play, and the Qin State, which had infiltrated the Huyan tribe, secretly transmitted news of the enemy's movements from time to time, so that the Qin army would not fall into a more passive situation.

Battle of Hexi.

Gradually, it fell into a stalemate.

The pace of the Luojia cavalry to pursue the Dayue clan was somewhat difficult to ride the tiger because of the crazy rout of the Dayue clan, and it was difficult to continue the pursuit and consume countless military rations and baggage, and if it was not pursued, once the Dayue clan eased up, the Qin State might face the dual threat of the Dayue clan and the Huns in the Western Regions.

The entire western part of Daqin is getting involved in more and more shili, the Aries tribe, the Dayue tribe and then the Huyan tribe, in this fierce battle to divide the territory and the Shili range, whether it is Jin Xi, or the king of the Dayue clan, or Hu Yanxi, in fact, they are just chess pieces on the chessboard.

On the arena. The two giants of Qin and Hungary wrestled. Shili, who is inferior to the Aries tribe, gradually fell victim in the wrestling between the two sides.

The real chess players are Mao Dun, who lives in Mobei, and Li Yuan, who is guarding the imperial pass in Chang'an City.

In the past two years, as the king of the Huns, he has always been decisive in killing, and Yu Maodun, who has rarely been defeated on the battlefield, has been very low-key, except for the rejection of the marriage proposal to the ghost witch king Jin Xi, who led the cavalry to chase and kill the Aries tribe in shame. Maudun seems to be deliberately avoiding conflict with the Qin state.

Mobei is more than 500 miles away from the border between the Xiongnu and Qin, except for the desert along the way, it is uninhabited, in the harsh natural environment, it is almost impossible for the Qin army to go north to find the Xiongnu royal court, and the Huns who are familiar with the terrain and landform want to attack the border of Qin, but it is a dozen and a quasi.

Under favorable terrain conditions, Maudun's headquarters did not cross the Yinshan line for two consecutive winters, which also made many Xiongnu tribes who believed in military plunder feel extremely disappointed. The Maudun tribes could strengthen themselves by sweeping the barbarians of the North Sea farther north, while the other dependent tribes did not have such strength.

South!

Over the years. It was already a way of survival that a considerable part of the Huns were accustomed to.

Only by relying on the materials and wealth looted from the farming peoples of the Central Plains can the Xiongnu tribes be strong and survive the difficult winters. Otherwise, they will have to kill each other. Annexing tribes that are weaker than you are to give your side a chance to survive.

"Could it be that Da Dan Yu was scared by the Qin people, afraid that he would lose the battle again and lose his prestige!"

"Big Order, although it is powerful. However, I heard that the Shenwu King of the Southern Qin State is even more terrifying, and this person is scheming and wise, and he is the wise man among the southerners. Those who dared to rebel are now exterminated. ”

The grassland is high and wide.

The tribes eat grass and move, and only the strong are kings, even if they are noble, they must accept the laws of nature.

Although no one in Akari has dared to question Maudun, in private, as time goes by, the voice of doubt is gradually spreading. Although he did not reprimand him directly, those who spoke out were cleared out one by one, and disappeared into the vast world of the prairie along with their tribes.

――。

Early September.

On the banks of the Hannan River.

Around the royal court, more and more tribes came from all directions, and groups of Xiongnu warriors scattered in all directions of the grassland shouted loudly and put on various powerful postures to try to deter their opponents, and in the process, small-scale clashes between tribes continued to occur.

In the tent of the king of the dome alone, Mao Dun has a long beard, wearing a soft silk robe that flows into the Xiongnu land from the south, a faint smile on his burnt yellow cheeks, and a pair of dark brown inverted triangular eyes are a little proud.

Summer hasn't quite passed yet.

For the Huns, the heat was the most unsuitable weather, and compared to the stuffy fur, this silk fabric trafficked from the south was smooth and delicate on the body, just like the skin of a beautiful woman, which made people love it.

At this gathering, Maudun's cronies, tribal leaders, and householders should all be present. They had already received news from private channels, and Da Shan Yu Maodun had already made up his mind to lead them south to attack Qin this time.

During the two years of preparation, Maudun defeated the Aries tribe and the Serbs in the Altai Mountains in exchange for all the supplies for the tribe to survive the harsh winter, including people who died of cold and starvation, and herds of cattle and sheep. His royal court has been stranded on the banks of the Hannan River, accumulating liliang.

After three rounds of temptation in Longxi, Hexi, and Yanbei, Mao Dun, who had suffered several secret losses, was very cautious this time, and he first instructed Sumeru Butong to instigate the war between the Dayue clan and the Qin people, and then, he forced the Southern Xiongnu of the Right Xian King Hu Yanevil to attack Hexi, and ordered the rest of the Zuo Xian King Qiu Lijin to attack Yan and Dai.

Autumn is high and horses are fat, the hot summer is about to pass, and the grasslands in the north are gradually unable to support the war horses, cattle and sheep of the Huns, and recapture the southern pastures occupied by the Qin people is very important for the Hun tribes.

The pastures of the Huns.

Because of the different climates, it is divided into two different regions, north and south, and this situation is the same as the principle of the large migration of herds of herbivores in the African savannah, when the dry season alternates with the rainy season.

The climate is gradually getting colder, the weather at the beginning of September is still in a warm and rainy situation, and once it is more than ten days later, the northwest wind blows, and then brings the first large-scale cooling, the grassland in the area of Hannan River and Gonglushui will gradually become desertified, the grass no longer grows, and the grass stem on the exposed ground only slightly emerges a small tip, such a grassland can not provide enough food for cattle, sheep and war horses.

At this time, the Xiongnu people will choose to graze in the pastures in the south, these pastures are concentrated in Yanqi Mountain, Qilian Mountain, Juyanhai, Jiuyuan in Hetao and Yuyang and Xiangping in Yanbei in the north of the country, but over the years, Hexi, Hetao, Yanbei and other places have been occupied by the Qin State, and the Huns are like longing to drink mare's milk wine every year, eager to one day be able to fight back to the south, to be able to appear on the green meadows, and run freely.

For the survival of the nation.

In order to expand the shili of the Great Hun again, in order to defeat the lifelong opponent: Li Yuan.

Maudon must fight.

In the area of the Hannan River, about 200,000 warriors have been gathered, these Northern Xiongnu from Mobei and even further north near the Beihai Sea, bloodthirsty and murderous, completely different from the Southern Xiongnu tribes who were gradually assimilated by the Qin people.

In the king's tent.

In addition to the many Huns, surprisingly, Zang Yan, a southerner from Yandi, was also located among them, the eldest son of Zang Di, the king of Yan, was reused by Qiu Lijin, the king of Zuoxian, after defecting, but after discovering that Qiu Lijin was gradually losing power, Zang Yan quickly took refuge in the more powerful Shan Yu Maodun.

Today, Zang Yan accepted Mao Dun's entrustment and was responsible for explaining the battle situation in the border area between Qin and Hungary to the leaders and heads of the Xiongnu tribes.

"Da Dan Yu, all the virtuous kings, generals, a few days ago, Sumeru day after king came to report that the Huyan tribe had been in the Hexi area for several months, and did not encounter the main force of the Qin army, and now they are preparing to attack Dunhuang, an important town in Hexi, as long as they capture there, the Western Regions troops of the Qin State will lose all their baggage. In addition, in the area of Yanbei, the first section of King Zuo Xian is also crossing the Great Wall of Qin and attacking the Mayi area of Qin! ”

Zang Yan was very excited, and Mao Dun launched an attack on Qin at the same time with the troops of the left and right Xian Wang, and this idea came from Zang Yan's advice.

As a southerner, he knows much more about the geography, humanities, and military conditions south of the Great Wall of Qin than Mao Dun, who has lived in the Mobei area for a long time, and it is precisely because of his betrayal that the Qin State has been exposed by the lack of troops because the border line is too long.

"According to the intermittent return of infiltrating the Qin State, now, the attention and strength of the Qin State have been attracted to these two places, in front of us, on the Hetao and Yinshan lines, there are only about 20,000 people of the original Qin border army, these border soldiers have greatly decreased their combat effectiveness after many blood losses and draws, and they no longer have the appearance of the elite of the Qin border army back then. Therefore, from multiple angles, the most suitable target for our attack at present is the Hetao area. ”

Zang Yan cleared his throat and explained loudly, his narrow eyes showed bursts of joy, in such a strategic meeting with great importance, Mao Dun instructed Zang Yan to explain, which shows Mao Dun's infinite trust in him.

These information about the border army are not false, when Zang Yan was in Yandi, he was responsible for spying on the intelligence of the border army of Qin, and the secret agents are now lurking in the border army, such as Gaoque City, Jiuyuan City and other pass generals' personalities, abilities, and preferences, Zang Yan has special records.
