Chapter 273: Capturing King Zhao Alive
The earth-shattering roar went down the hillside and reached the grassland, and a flying horse rushed into the camp, turned over and dismounted, came to the yurt, knelt down on one knee, and said urgently, "There is a situation among the Zhao army, and all the Zhao army are chanting 'Zhao Guo Wannian'." ”
"Zhao Guowannian?" Xiongnu Shan Yu Gutu couldn't understand why Zhao Jun suddenly became nervous, "Come with me and take a look." ”
"Hugh." A whistle sounded, and a snow-white war horse galloped from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it fell to Shan Yu's side, affectionately using his head to Shan Yu's chest.
This is a super-ordinary war horse.
Shan Yu turned over and got on his horse, and came to a small broken city a few miles away from the camp tent, which was Wuchuan City, which was the bridgehead of Zhao to attack the Xiongnu, and was later abandoned, and is now occupied by the Xiongnu, and used it as a base to attack Zhao.
Gu Tu stood at the head of the city, looking in the direction of the Great Wall.
"Shan Yu, that...... It seems to be the royal flag of the Zhao State, a big banner that will only be erected if the monarch personally conquers it. The guard pointed to the big flag above the Great Wall and said excitedly.
Without being reminded by his subordinates, Xiongnu Shan Yu had already seen the big flag standing next to the flag of the Great Wall Guards, which was taller than the ordinary military flag, and a Zhao character fluttering in the wind on it.
Gu Tu bit his lips tightly, his right hand tightly grasped the beard knife at his waist, his body trembled slightly, and after a while, he immediately turned around and walked towards the camp, "Go and gather all the leaders, and in addition, send someone to invite the king of the smock and the king of Loufu, and say that this is an important matter to discuss with the two of them." ”
If his previous purpose was to weaken the strength of other tribes, better control the Xiongnu, and at the same time plunder the Zhao State. Now the goal has become: to capture King Zhao alive.
As long as the king of Zhao can be caught, and occupy Yunzhong and Yanmen, which are fertile with water and grass and milder winters, and cultivate for another ten years, the Xiongnu will be able to become the overlord of the entire grassland.
At that time, whether it is Donghu, Lou Fu, or Ragged, they will all surrender to him.
In order to achieve his goal, he decided to cooperate with Ragged and Lou Fu, gather all his forces to go south, and capture King Zhao alive.
Half an hour later, all the tribal leaders of the Xiongnu rushed over one after another.
These tribes are powerful and have more than 10,000 people who control the strings. The weak ones also have more than 1,000 string controllers. That adds up to 200,000.
Gu Tu sat in the main seat, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the fingers of his right hand tapped lightly, obviously not asleep. Under his buttocks is a transcendental-level tiger skin, he defeated this Menghu back then, broke through to the transcendent realm, and then defeated all opponents and became a Xiongnu Shan Yu.
Although he later hunted a lot of tigers, many of which were of the extraordinary level, the most important thing was the original one, and this tiger skin has been kept by him until now.
"Shan Yu, the Ragged King and the Lou Fu King are still nowhere to be found." The guards reported.
"Is the Messenger Warrior back?" Gu Tu raised his eyebrows.
"Not yet."
"Then wait." Gu Tu continued to close his eyes.
After another half an hour, the two tribes sent a general over, and the king of the smock and the king of Loufu did not appear, and it was obvious that they did not believe in the Xiongnu very much.
These days, the three are constantly attacking, the two tribes are in a weak position, and there are not a few clansmen who died at the hands of the Huns, so they naturally dare not easily step into the Hun camp.
Gu Tu was a little displeased, but he was not angry, and pointed to the empty seat and said, "Please sit down, two of you." ”
"I don't know what the Huns are looking for us?" The general filled the cliff and walked to the first position on the right, sat down without giving up, and then arched his hand.
"King Zhao is here, and it's on the Great Wall." Xiongnu Shan Yu's cold gaze swept around, stood up, pointed to the south and said.
"What!"
Everyone's faces changed, and then they stood up, their faces full of excitement.
When the monarch goes on a campaign, it has a fanatic effect, which not only affects his own side, but also has an effect on the enemy.
Even the general who was ragged and annoyed, after learning the news, it was difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.
If King Zhao can be captured alive, this is a great achievement!
Soon, however, there was a problem that became apparent.
"We attacked for so long and we couldn't get past the Wall. Now that the king of Zhao is in person, he will inevitably lead the army, won't we be even more defeated? ”
"Yes, almost everyone in the Zhao army is in armor, and their weapons are better than ours. One can beat two or even three of us, and we're probably not opponents. ”
"Back then, there was a monarch from Zhao State, I heard that it was called King Zhao Wuling, and there was a legion called Zhao Feiqi under his command, each of which could be a hundred, even the most powerful legion of my Huns was not an opponent."
……
The leaders of the Xiongnu discussed one after another, and the faces of the generals of the Hun and Lou Fu were even more ugly, the Xiongnu and the Zhao State had only had some wars, and the two of them were forced to be driven by the Zhao State from the place where they lived before to the current bitter cold land.
Sandwiched between the Zhao State, the Yan State, the Xiongnu State, and the Donghu State, there is a danger of overturning at any time.
"There are still 100,000 string-controlling people behind my Huns, and they can all be summoned. Coupled with the two departments of ragged and loufu, an army of 400,000 to 500,000 can be gathered. As long as we can cross the Great Wall and attack the hinterland of Zhao, we can get countless wealth and wine, where the winter is milder, which can help us avoid the cold winter, and the cattle and sheep will not freeze to death on a large scale. ”
"If we can capture King Zhao alive, we can also exchange more land and wealth with Zhao. When the time comes, you Lou Fu and Ragged can recover their hometowns, and our Xiongnu can also occupy more pastures. You also know how cold and bitter the winter is in Saibei, do you want to live here forever and watch all the good places be occupied by the Zhao State? Gu Tu said loudly.
The general of the ragged precipice and the general of Lou Fu, the white wolf, glanced at each other, and both saw the desire in each other's eyes, but the two did not immediately agree, but arched their hands and said, "We still need to go back and discuss with the king." ”
After the two left, Xiongnu Shan Yu Gutu looked at the remaining Xiongnu tribal leaders, pointed to the south and said, "You fight back and forth every day, just to compete for a little pasture and cattle and sheep, now just take down there." How much pasture you want, how much pasture you want, how many cattle and sheep you want to graze. ”
"I know that each of your tribes still has some hidden powers, and if you don't take it out now, it will be too late to take it out when Zhao Guo is defeated. The king promised that after defeating the Zhao state, the pastures would be divided according to the contributions made by the tribes. I will definitely not let anyone make a very big contribution to my Huns, but in the end I get nothing. ”
Everyone looked at each other, and at last, one of the leaders standing at the front arched his hand and said, "I will send all the troops in the rear." ”
"Thank you for your support." Gu Tu said.
Dadang is the strongest of the Xiongnu second only to Gutu, and the strength of the tribe is also second only to the Gutu tribe.
"I will repair a letter to the king of Donghu, and borrow 100,000 troops from him with half of the grassland of my lonely tribe as collateral."
