Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Obstruction of the Spartan Legion

The next day, Li Si led eight guards appointed by Fusu for him, as well as ten disciples of the Yin and Yang family who were scapegoats, including a number of envoys, to the Xiongnu's Warburg, preparing to meet the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

The Xiongnu Shan Yu received the news that it was the Prime Minister of Great Qin who sent the Xiongnu, and they were all very surprised.

Then, another news came, saying that the Xiongnu Shan Yu sent out the mission, as soon as they left Xianyang, they were killed, and even the corpses were burned to ashes.

After hearing the news, the Xiongnu laughed instead of being angry.

Because he had a bargaining chip that he could bargain with Daqin.

"Die well, die well!"

Xiongnu Shan Yu whispered joy in his heart.

For Xiongnu Shan Yu, it was too cost-effective for the dead envoys to be able to exchange for the tribute they had lowered to Daqin.

And Li Si's envoy to the Xiongnu represents Great Qin, and when he made this decision, he had already put life and death out of the way, and no matter what, he had to complete the task entrusted by the emperor.

On the back of the road, the road was bumpy, and Li Si sat in the carriage, a little uncomfortable.

"Alas, as soon as this man gets older, his hands and feet begin to become sluggish." Li Si laughed at himself, he lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage, and asked the sun who was riding with him: "How many days are there to go to the Hun Varburg?" ”

"Eight days." Occult responded.

Li Si and Occult Sun had met earlier, and the two were old acquaintances, but at that time, Occult Sun was under Zhao Gao's orders.

Now that the sun is Li Si's guard, he is naturally at the mercy of Li Si.

If the Great Qin mission wanted to go to Warburg, it would inevitably pass through the military territories of Meng Tian and Han Xin.

Fusu instructed Li Si to visit Meng Tian and Han Xin.

Li Si didn't dare to disobey Fusu's order, and even if Fusu didn't say it, Li Si would come to visit.

Without the support of these 400,000 troops, Li Si's mission entered the territory of the Xiongnu, and I am afraid that it would be more auspicious.

There are eight days to go to Xiongnu Warburg, which means that it takes five days to reach Meng Tian and Han Xin's army.

The advance of Meng Tian and Han Xin's army this time can be said to be deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, which also made the Xiongnu Shan Yu have to offer to the ministers of Great Qin.

Especially when the Xiongnu Shan Yu thought that Great Qin was going to launch a war to destroy the country against them, he was even more panicked in his heart.

Now, Meng Tian and Han Xin also received news that the Great Qin mission was going to send an envoy to the Xiongnu.

Therefore, after they discussed, they also sent troops to meet them.

Li Si was calculating every day that there were still a few days left to reach the territory of the Xiongnu Kingdom, and he was also thinking about how to negotiate next in order to win the highest interests for Great Qin.

Li Si, who was sitting in the carriage, was thinking, when he also shouted into the carriage outside: "Prime Minister, we have entered the territory of the Xiongnu Kingdom, and we can go to the military camp of General Meng Tian and General Han Xin in two days. ”

"Got it." After Li Si responded, he reminded: "Cover the sun, let everyone cheer up, there can be Great Qin people assassinating the Xiongnu Mission, and there may also be Xiongnu assassinating the Great Qin Mission." ”

"No!" The sun was instructed by Li Si to alert the guards of the mission.

In order to ensure the safety of the road ahead, the shadow guards were arranged to go to the road ahead in advance to find out.

I thought everything was going well, but the shadow guard sent out never returned.

The delay in the return of the Shadow Guards clearly indicates that there is danger in the valley ahead.

"Prime Minister, the Shadow Guard has never returned to restore his life, and there is a valley ahead, and it was at the mouth of this valley that the Golden Fire Cavalry was ambushed by the Spartan Legion." Occult reported.

Li Si lifted the curtain in front of him and took a look, even if he was a person who didn't understand the art of war, he could see that he was surrounded by mountains on both sides, and only a narrow road in the middle could pass through.

Lees did not respond to the covering, so the coachman did not stop.

And above the two mountains, the army in ambush was the remnant of Sparta's defeated army.

They had been defeated by Meng Tian and Han Xin, and now there were less than a thousand remaining Spartans.

These five hundred people can't do anything for an army of 400,000, but they are the best tool to intercept and kill the Great Qin Mission.

And the total number of Great Qin Missions is only more than two hundred, and in the face of these 1,000 Spartan legions that can still come out alive under the encirclement of the Golden Fire Cavalry, it is a bit of a small thing.

"Stop!" Li Si suddenly commanded.

He then raised his palms and motioned for the carriage and shadow guards behind him to stop.

"Set up camp."

Lees continued to command.

Li Si currently represents Daqin, if he is killed by "people with a heart", so that Daqin and the Xiongnu have no way to negotiate peace, then the beneficiaries will inevitably be those who are plotters.

In Daqin, some people hope that the Qin State will be in chaos, and similarly, in the Xiongnu, there are also people who hope that the Xiongnu will be in chaos.

The world is in turmoil, and they have a chance to rise.

And Li Si is very aware of the pros and cons, and he must not risk his life.

He knew that Meng Tian and Han Xin had already sent troops to join them, so they just had to camp here and wait for the army to come and pick them up.

Tie Sen, the leader of Sparta, immediately frowned when he saw that the Great Qin Mission was encamped not far away, and that the sentry had been prepared.

"I don't believe it, you don't come from here."

Tie Sen said secretly in his heart.

His mission was to find a way to kill the Great Qin Legation and use the remaining 1,000 Spartan soldiers.

At this time, Li Si received a message from the flying pigeon.

The biography of the flying pigeon reads: The Golden Fire Cavalry will meet with the Prime Minister early tomorrow morning, and they must pass through safely tonight.

After reading the contents of the pigeon's biography, Lees looked at the valley at dusk.

"Occult the sun, how are your archery skills?"

"100 shots, 100 hits." Cover the sun confidently.

Seeing that the sun was so confident, Fusu nodded slightly, "Okay, you shoot an arrow and go to the mouth of the valley." ”

Although he didn't know what Li Si's intention was in doing this, since the emperor gave him an order to obey Li Si's dispatch, he had no choice but to do it.

Li Si took out an arrow, then tied a string, and wanted to cover the sun and shoot to the mouth of the valley.

He did as he was told, and shot an arrow, right where Li Si wanted.

The other end of the string was tied to a bowl of water.

As long as there is a big movement in Taniguchi, the water in the bowl will swing, which means that the enemy is about to attack at night.

Dusk sets, and evening falls.

Li Si let everyone eat and drink to their heart's content, and then took turns to rest in the first half of the night.

In Lees's judgment, the moon was shining in the first half of the night, and for an infantry regiment like Sparta, the movement was much slower than that of the cavalry, and once they moved, they were easily detected.

Therefore, Li Si judged that this infantry regiment would wait until the moon went down, that is, in the second half of the night to launch a surprise attack.

Li Si is not a soldier, but he is an official in the court, and he also grasps some details quite accurately.

As it turned out, Liss was right, and there was no sign of the water in the bowl shaking.
