After listening to the story about the Hun King Maodun, the expression on Su Mo's face became more and more serious.

Li Xin was still talking eloquently, and kept saying: "According to my opinion, the biggest forces in the grassland now are the Xiongnu and Donghu, and now these two forces are like fire and water, some time ago, the king of Donghu asked Mao Dun Shan Yu for thousands of horses and his wife, but Mao Dun was afraid of Donghu's strength, and actually agreed to these requests, it can be seen that this guy is a timid and afraid person, and there is no need to worry about it at all. ”

Seeing that even a general of the Qin State like Li Xin despised Mao Dun a little, this made Su Mo couldn't help frowning, and retorted: "General Li, I don't think your idea is actually right, in my opinion, the threat of the Xiongnu is far greater than that of Donghu, that Mao Dun is definitely not an ordinary person, we must not despise him." ”

"A person who kills his father and stands on his own feet, and only compromises and seeks perfection, I don't see what he can do at all." Li Xin shook his head, his eyes full of disdain.

A man who can't even protect his own property and women is a great shame on the grassland.

No wonder even generals like Li Xin look down on Mao Dun Shan Yu.

After Su Mo heard this, he said with a serious expression: "Even General Li thinks so, I'm afraid King Donghu thinks so too, but do you think that a person who dares to kill his father and stand on his own feet is really a cowardly and fearful person?" can endure what ordinary people can't bear, this person is either really a waste as everyone says, or he has a big plan, ready to lie down and taste the gall, and be ashamed. ”

When the others heard this, their expressions gradually became solemn.

Li Xin was slightly stunned, and quickly reacted.

Oh, yes.

If Maudun is really a piece of waste, then how can this guy kill his father and stand on his own?

Everyone was bewitched by him, and Maudun wanted everyone to think that he was a cowardly and fearful person, thinking that he was not a matter of concern, so as to achieve the goal of confusing the enemy.

The story of Gou Jian's lying salary and tasting courage has only happened for a few hundred years, and the hard-working people, the sky is not bearable, and the three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu.

Come to think of this.

Li Xin was instantly shocked into a cold sweat.

If you really think like him, I am afraid that when the Xiongnu become stronger and stronger in the future, he will definitely suffer a big loss.

"Thank you for the reminder, Li Xin has been taught."

Li Xin bowed deeply to Su Mo, this is also one of his shortcomings, he is too conceited, and it is easy to underestimate the enemy, otherwise he would not have been defeated in the hands of Xiang Yan when he fought against Chu, but he didn't expect that he had been stumbling for decades, but he hadn't learned this lesson yet.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the camp was a little dull, Su Mo laughed and said: "You don't have to worry, even if that Mao Dun really wants to learn to practice and try his courage, but now that we have seen through his tricks, and besides, my Great Qin's iron cavalry is invincible in the world, even if the Xiongnu and Donghu join forces, they may not be our opponents, so you don't have to be too nervous." ”

"And our attack on the grassland this time is mainly to plunder their cattle and sheep, not to target their people, which is much easier than resisting the Xiongnu in previous years."

With Su Mo's words, Li Xin and the others nodded one after another.

After discussing the matter of attacking the grassland, Su Mo finally issued the first military order.

"Three days later, the whole army attacked, attacked the grassland, and plundered their cattle and sheep food!"

"Whoa!"

The others replied.

………………

Three days later.

All the 300,000 troops in Shangjun left their camps and began to march towards the grassland.

When you leave the Great Wall, the moment you step on the grassland.

Meng Tian, Li Xin and others looked at the army behind them, and sighed one after another: "The horseshoe invented by Lord Xiangguo is really an artifact, and the soldiers are riding horses, which is like walking on the ground, and our army will win this battle!" ”

Hearing this, Su Mo smiled slightly.

But soon his gaze swept over everyone.

"Han Xin takes the order!"

Su Mo suddenly shouted.

"The last general!"

At this time, Han Xin was wearing a white robe and armor, his face was full of spirit, and he already had the temperament of a generation of soldiers.

Su Mo looked at the other party and continued: "Han Xin, Ben Shuai asked you to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to sweep to the east, and all the grassland tribes you meet on the road will plunder their cattle and sheep food, but remember not to hurt the grassland people at all." ”

They robbed their cattle and sheep so that they would not have food for the winter.

As for not killing people, it was to increase the burden on the Xiongnu.

At that time, a large number of grassland tribes will have no food, and countless mouths will be waiting to be fed, unless the Xiongnu give up these grassland tribes, regardless of the life or death of these grassland people, or they will have to fight to the death with the Qin army.

Of course, if the Xiongnu were really ruthless enough to let these steppe people starve to death.

That happened to follow Su Mo's wishes, and the Huns would definitely have civil strife at that time.

If you don't have to do it yourself, Mao Dun will probably be slaughtered by his subordinates.

In fact, Su Mo has a more ruthless move, that is, to rob their cattle and sheep, and then kill all their strong men, leaving only the old and weak women and children, so that the burden of the Huns will be heavier, but in that case, at least hundreds of thousands of people will die, as the commander-in-chief, every word and deed is related to the life and death of countless people, even Su Mo does not dare to give such an order.

"Han Shin will definitely live up to the entrustment of Lord Xiangguo."

Han Xin nodded heavily, this attack on the grassland was another opportunity for him to make contributions.

After giving this order, Su Mo looked at Meng Tian and Li Xin again.

"Meng Tian, you lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to sweep the west of the grassland, Li Xin, you lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to sweep the south of the grassland." Su Mo gave orders one after another, and all the 150,000 soldiers and horses were sent out at once.

"And this commander will lead the remaining 150,000 troops to smash the Hun king's tent and buy time for you."

Su Mo said slowly, the Huns only have a hundred thousand troops at most, and he can completely withstand it with 150,000 in the past.

This method of dividing troops was also decided after careful consideration.

When the Xiongnu learned that the Qin army was plundering their cattle and sheep, they would definitely have to divide their troops to stop them, and Han Xin and they each had 50,000 troops, if the Xiongnu divided too few troops, it would be impossible for their opponents, if there were too many troops, our side could not win and still run.

As for escape, this is not the patent of the Huns.

Anyway, this time they only grabbed things, and they weren't going to kill.

And at that time, Su Mo could also lead an army of 150,000 and steal the Huns' lair.

Of course, if the Huns decide to hold on to the royal tent.

That's okay too.

At that time, he will be consumed with the Hun army, and I am afraid that it will not be long before Han Xin and his side will rob all the cattle and sheep on the grassland.

No matter how you calculate it, it's a good deal on your side.

Soon Han Xin and the others gathered their troops and horses to sweep the grassland, while Su Mo began to march towards the depths of the grassland with the remaining 150,000 troops.

This time deep into the grassland, it was very difficult for the army to supply grain and grass.

So basically, they only brought half a month's grain and grass, but it didn't matter that they could feed the war with war, and when they robbed the Huns of their livestock, they could use these cattle and sheep as food, so they didn't worry about the risk of food shortage.

It didn't take long.

Su Mo and the others met the first grassland tribe.

It is a small tribe of only a few hundred people.
