In Yanmen County, the border pass of the Han Dynasty, the phoenix rolls up the dust and weeds flying all over the sky, the air is filled with a desolate dead silence, the colorful flags at the head of the city are hula, from time to time there are sentry posts patrolling from the city tower, there is a trace of life, a few fast horses quickly arrived at the city tower, blocked by the closed city gate outside the city, only to see the city tower soldiers shouted loudly: "Who is coming, report the name." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"General Wei Qing's special envoy, come to meet the county guard. It turned out that Wei Qing first sent Zhang Cigong and a few soldiers to Yanmen County in advance.

The two sentries on the castle tower looked at each other in surprise and said, "Please show your waist card." ”

I saw Zhang Cigong take out his waist card and shake it in the air.

"Wait a minute. After the two sentinels finished speaking, they walked down the tower, and a small window above the gate opened, and a hand poked out, "Show me the waist card." ”

Zhang Cigong handed over the waist card, and after a while, the city gate creaked and slowly opened, Zhang Cigong and a few people patted their horses and walked in, and the sentry said: "Several officials have worked hard all the way, please go to the county office of West Street to meet our county guard." ”

"Thank you for your advice. Zhang Cigong took the waist card and led a few soldiers to pat their horses and walk towards the county office, the dilapidated and dilapidated houses on both sides of the road, and the scorched traces prove that this place was once burned and plundered by the Huns.

It didn't take long to arrive at the county office, and when the county guard heard that it was an envoy sent by General Wei Qing, he immediately went out to greet him: "It turned out to be an envoy sent by General Wei, please come inside." ”

"Thank you. ”

Zhang Cigong and the county guard sat down and asked, "Recently, have the Huns been haunted by the Yanmen border pass frequently?"

"It's very rampant, the soldiers of Yanmen are often attacked by a small group of Huns during this time, and the dead and wounded are commonplace, in view of the lack of troops here, only strict defense can be exchanged for a moment of peace, I heard that the emperor has sent General Wei to fight back against the Huns, will it pass from this side. ”

"The county guard has worked hard, General Wei will lead the army to arrive later, and this time we must avenge the death of the border soldiers. ”

"This is great, let the Hun barbarians know that my Han is not weak and deceitful, but my Han border soldiers have suffered countless casualties, and General Wei has only attacked the Huns once, I don't know if I can beat the Huns. ”

"The county guard is too worried, since the general can win once, he can win two times and many times, I hope that the county guard will not be too ambitious to destroy his own prestige, this time General Wei sent me to come early is to ask the county guard. ”

"Tell me, as long as it's to win the war, I'll be a pawn. The county guard said embarrassedly after hearing Zhang Cigong's dissatisfaction.

"The general asked the county guard to prepare 500 sets of Hun clothing and equipment and honor guards, but I don't know if it will be difficult. ”

"There are a lot of these things in the border county, I will order it as soon as possible, and it can be gathered within three days, I don't know what the general wants to do." ”

"This is a military secret, I hope that the county guard will block the news, and prepare it in a small area, and when the general arrives with a large army, it will be a great achievement to hand it over to the general. ”

"Don't dare to be greedy, since this matter is so important, I will personally prepare for it. ”

"There is a county of law guarded. ”

"Where, everything is for the peace of the Han, the envoy has worked hard all the way, please go to the post house to rest as soon as possible," the county guard turned to the yamen and shouted, "Come on, take a few distinguished guests to the post house to rest." ”

Zhang Cigong stood up and thanked him: "Thank you for the county guard, the county guard has worked hard." ”

A few days later, Wei Qing led the army to Yanmen County, and the county guard gave Wei Qing a lukewarm reception to himself, and several generals who grew up together in the Jianzhang battalion under Wei Qing said angrily: "Our general has been ordered by the emperor to come to fight back against the Huns, and I hope the county guard will pay attention to it." ”

The county guard smiled disapprovingly and said: "Hehehe, I'm afraid you don't know the strength of the Huns near Yanmen County, I hope the general can have the same good luck this time as last time, don't become a meal for the Huns." ”

"Nonsense, our general will definitely be able to win a big victory, and the county guard may have been frightened by the Hun bandits. ”

"You stand down," Wei Qing stepped forward to stop the disgruntle of the soldiers, turned around and bowed to the county guard and said, "Thank you for the reminder of the county guard, I, Wei Qing, must remember the teachings of the county guard, as long as I still have a breath of air, even if I am broken, I must resist the Huns, and I cannot invade half an inch of the territory of the Han Dynasty." ”

Seeing that Wei Qing was so polite and not annoyed by his disdain, the county guard immediately bowed deeply and said: "Forgive me for many years at the border, I haven't seen the general, I only heard about the relationship between the general and the emperor, I thought he was an ordinary and useless person, seeing that the general is such an open-minded and humble person, I have lost my eyes, please forgive me." ”

"The county guard is polite, the victory over the Huns requires you and me to work together, if Wei Qing is alone, it is also a victim of the Huns' iron hooves if he shouts his throat, and we can crush their iron hooves if we form a group." ”

"The general is right, I have already prepared the items that the general needs, and I have also prepared the materials for the march, and there are still 3,000 soldiers in Yanmen County who have combat effectiveness, and they are ready to be dispatched by the general at any time. ”

"Okay, the soldiers I led will go out of the customs and enter the territory of the Xiongnu after resting here for a day, and the county guard will let the soldiers who defend the city strictly guard Yanmen County, and be careful that the Huns and dogs jump over the wall in a hurry, waiting for the triumph of the army to meet us. ”

The county guard directly objected: "General, let's let the soldiers with combat effectiveness in the city join the team attacking the Xiongnu, these people are familiar with the environment and roads of the Xiongnu steppe, and can lead the way for the army." ”

"Familiarity with the terrain and roads is indeed an advantage, the county guard picks out half of it and disperses it to the army as a guide, so that even if it is an eye for the army, there must be a defensive force in the army to prevent the Huns from sneaking attack. ”

"Okay, listen to the general. The county guard said.

In this way, everything was prepared, Wei Qing led the army to quietly walk out of Yanmen County to the north, slowly went deep into the hinterland of the Huns, walked for a week, did not meet a single figure, let alone the Hun army, Zhang Cigong walked at the front of the team, led everyone to avoid the dangerous swamp, and continued to walk for another week, Zhang Cigong finished inspecting a circle of the team and reported to Wei Qing: "Report to the general, our soldiers are running out of dry food for the march." ”

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Wei Qing asked disdainfully.

"General, it's better to plan ahead, otherwise"

"Otherwise, what will happen," Wei Qing grabbed the conversation and continued, "Is the army mutiny, no, they are loyal to the emperor and the Han, will they starve to death, what should you do when you encounter this situation on this grassland?"

"General, it is possible to starve to death, but before starving to death, it is best to fight hard, and it is better to grab some food to bring the dead back to life. ”

"Yes, I'm going to make the soldiers fight, and if my prediction is right, the soldiers will now have two days to eat. ”

"The general is right, the grain can last for two days, but we can't find the Hun troops at present, so we don't know where to go?" Zhang Cigong wondered.

"After a few more steppe hills, you will arrive at Dragon City, the sacred land of the Huns. ”

"Ah, what does the general mean......" Zhang Cigong opened his mouth wide in surprise and continued, "I have already attacked Longcheng last time, isn't the general afraid that the Huns will be prepared this time?"

"Hahaha, rest assured, the more dangerous the place, the safer, let's go for another day today and set up camp so that the soldiers will have a good meal. ”

"No. ”

At this time, Wei Qing's large army happened to be marching in a hidden place among the hills, and the sky gradually darkened, and suddenly probed Ma to report: "General Bao, I saw a large number of Huns on the other side of the hills." ”

"Oh, how many people?"

"A rough estimate is that there are fifty or sixty thousand people, but it is getting dark, and the number is difficult to estimate. ”

"Revisit. ”

"No. ”

Zhang Cigong looked at the back of Tanma and held the handle of the knife and said to Wei Qing: "General, give an order, this time there is finally a battle to be fought." ”

Wei Qing's resolute face was slightly nervous, and he immediately became stretched again, and said to Zhang Ci calmly: "If you don't know the enemy's situation, it is not suitable to fight with it head-on, so you must calm down." ”

"Command, General. ”

"Whisper the order to go down, lay an ambush on the spot, prepare for battle, obey the next order, and no one can act rashly without my orders. ”

"No. The heralds in the ranks whispered to the crowd spread, and the army was instantly ambushed in the hollow of the hill.

This time, the herald hurriedly came to report: "Report to the general, there are about 100,000 Huns and horses, and they are galloping towards this direction, please make a decision." ”

Wei Qing thought for a moment and said to Zhang Ci: "The five hundred soldiers you selected obeyed the order, immediately changed into the clothes of the Huns, put on the banners of the Huns, and followed me to meet the enemy, and the remaining soldiers were on standby, not to expose the target easily." ”

"No. ”

Wei Qing also put on the clothes of the Hun general, led five hundred men and horses to rush out of the hills, galloped in the direction of the Hun army, and saw a large number of Huns in less than half an hour, the two sides got closer and closer, and suddenly the other party's vanguard stopped, Wei Qing stretched out his hand, and five hundred people also stopped, Wei Qing whispered to Zhang Cigong: "Ask them which tribe in Xiongnu language?"

Zhang Cigong asked in Xiongnu without panic and breathlessness: "Which tribe is on the other side?"

The sky was just dark, and the two sides only saw the Xiongnu flags fluttering, and the faces of the people could not be distinguished, and the other party replied loudly when he heard the same question as his own people: "We are the army of the Aries King who is searching for the Han army under the order of Da Danyu, and you belong to that tribe." ”

Wei Qing whispered: "Tell them that we are the vanguard of King Zuogu Li, and we were ordered by Da Dan Yu to take over the patrol in this area to prevent the Han army from sneaking up, and Da Dan Yu ordered your troops to quickly move closer to the direction of the royal court." ”

As soon as the other party heard that it was the vanguard of the Zuogu Liwang Yizhi, it was not easy to provoke, so he immediately replied in a soothing tone: "Okay, our department will move closer to the royal court immediately." ”

I saw that the army on the opposite side turned instantly, turning from south to west and moving slowly, at this time, Wei Qing immediately ordered Tan Madao: "Immediately notify the army to pass quickly from here." ”

"No. ”

Without an hour's work, take advantage of the twilight night to cross this dangerous area in the back of the vanishing army of the Aries King.

Wei Qing asked the guide again: "If my calculation is right, this place should be an hour away from Dragon City." ”

"The general is right, you can reach Dragon City in one hour at most. ”

Wei Qing instructed Tan Madao: "Quietly go and inquire about the situation in Dragon City, see if there are any ambushes, and report to me quickly." ”

"No. ”

When the horse went away, Wei Qing instructed: "Set up camp on the spot and rest after a full meal, and set off after eating tomorrow morning." ”

"No. ”

Wei Qing didn't have a good rest all night, and kept patrolling the barracks, and just after an hour of rest, he heard a report from Tanmalai: "Report to General, everything is normal in Longcheng, the lights in the city are bright, and there is not much defensive force." ”

"Okay, great. ”

Then he went to Malay and reported: "General Bao, in the west, I found a group of men and horses moving slowly in this direction. ”

Wei Qing suddenly thought in his heart: "Could it be that the army of the Aries King came back after walking to the middle of the royal court, it's not good!" Wei Qing thought of this and asked Tanma, "How long will it take to be here?"

"An hour or so. ”

Wei Qing immediately ordered: "Pass the order, the team will eat immediately, and set off in a quarter of an hour." ”

"No. ”

The camp was cleaned up in an instant, Wei Qing led the army to move quickly in the direction of Longcheng, in the dark night, Longcheng was surrounded by water, and then Wei Qing gave an order, 30,000 horses and horses killed into Longcheng, pity the Hun defenders and the Xiongnu nobles in their sleep, crying and fleeing in all directions, not half an hour, the battle ended, captured more than 1,000 Xiongnu soldiers, captured more than 1,000 nobles, countless cattle and sheep valuables, Wei Qing ordered: "Bring all the food and prisoners that can be eaten in Longcheng, and quickly retreat south." ”

Wei Qing's troops moved skillfully to return to the south, and the unknown moving centaur found by the horse was a small team of the Aries King, and saw the military minister Da Shan Yu in the middle of the night, knew the plan, and quickly returned in the reprimand of Da Shan Yu, the army was already very tired from running around all night, so the action was slow, and suddenly heard the news that Longcheng was sneak attacked, so he quickly rushed to it, and at this time there was also the figure of Wei Qing's army, and he chased after him for an hour and did not find anything abnormal, so he looked up to the sky and sighed and said: " The Han army has a master, doesn't the King of Wolf Teeth bless me as a Great Huns!"
