Chapter 269

The Xiongnu did not have the ability to build siege equipment, so the Xiongnu would avoid the military strongholds of Great Qin, and would instead choose relatively weak passes to break through.

And the five plains of Jiuyuan County were the target of the Xiongnu army. There is no danger to defend the Wuyuan Pass, and there is a horse Pingchuan in the pass, as long as the Wuyuan is broken, the iron cavalry of the Huns can drive straight down.

As a battle-hardened general, Wang Ben naturally had an early insight into the plans of the Huns, so he hoarded heavy troops in Wuyuan.

After learning that the Xiongnu had stationed more than 300,000 troops outside Wuyuan, Wang Ben personally rushed to Wuyuan.

The border wall of Wuyuan is not high, and if it is not repaired after the recovery, I am afraid it will be difficult to withstand the impact of the Huns.

Wang Ben looked at the black Hun army camp in the snowflakes outside the city, and his heart was very heavy.

Under this kind of ghost weather, the Huns actually arrived outside Wuyuan in advance, which shows that the Huns have really made up their minds this time, and this time it must be a difficult battle.

The ditches under the city were frozen, and even ice picks hidden under the snow could be seen on the dug ground.

"General, the water is ready." An old general rubbed his hands and walked up to Wang Ben and said.

Wang Ben said, "Pour the water down the wall." ”

"No!"

Soon a group of soldiers carried buckets of water and poured down the city wall, and as soon as the water reached the air level, it immediately froze, and as the water poured more and more, a layer of ice appeared outside the city wall.

For the sake of this water, Wang Ben ordered the whole army to go to the city to clear the snow, and almost all the snow in the city was cleared.

Wang Ben asked the old general on the side, "How much grain and grass is there in the city?" ”

"General Hui, there is no problem with enough food for the whole army for more than 60 days, and there is a steady stream of grain and grass in the rear, as long as the city is not broken, our army can keep defending!" The veteran said confidently.

Wang Ben nodded and said, "Although the Huns have more than 300,000 troops again, they still have to pay attention to the movements of the Huns in case they raid from other places. ”

The veteran nodded, he has guarded the Huns for most of his life, he used to guard for Zhao Guo, and now he guards for Daqin, and this awareness is still there for this veteran.

Wang Ben looked at the veteran general and asked, "I don't know what the old general is called?" ”

The veteran smiled: "I don't remember my name for a long time, so the general will call me Lao Zhang." ”

"I heard that you have been following General Li Mu to defend the Huns before, is it true?" Wang Ben asked.

The veteran nodded and sighed: "General Li Mu was killed back then, and before leaving, General Li Mu knew his fate, and told us to guard the Huns, knowing that we were accepted by Daqin, and it has been more than 30 years since the last general fought with the Huns." ”

Wang Ben said: "Old general, this is the reason why I transferred you to Wuyuan, I don't have much to fight with the Huns, and I hope that the old general can help me when the time comes." ”

The veteran arched his hand and said: "The general is polite, the last general may not be able to fight his own people, but if you want to beat these Huns, the last general will be much more energetic, and the general will just open his mouth if he has any orders!" ”

In the camp of the Xiongnu army, the leaders of various tribes were killing sheep and drinking, and they were drunk one by one.

Maudun was very angry when he saw this scene, the big battle was imminent, but these guys drank like this, it was simply to give the enemy a chance.

But fortunately, the Qin people don't seem to have the courage to sneak attack, otherwise these people would be the first to die.

Maudun wanted to change all this, but Maudun knew that he was powerless to change it now, because these tribes chose to seem to listen to themselves, but they were never their own people.

Just like the Zhou royal family in the Central Plains back then, it seemed to be the lord of the Central Plains, and when the interests were the same, all the countries in the Central Plains expressed their allegiance, and once the interests conflicted, they were enemies.

Mao Dun admired and envied the emperor of the Central Plains Yingzheng very much, because he built a powerful empire that only listened to him, and even easily defeated himself instead of Daddy Touman.

Maudon had just personally inspected all the defenses in the camp, and had them strengthened, lest the drunkards would have their heads cut off before they could wake up.

Standing on the edge of the camp on horseback, looking at the pass of Wuyuan in the distance, Mao Dun's eyes flashed with a fine light.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves next to him caught Morton's attention, and it turned out to be Hagen.

Hagen rode and came from the other side of the camp.

Maudon asked, "Doesn't the Hagen chief drink wine and eat meat?" ”

Hagen came to Maudun's side, looked at the city wall in the distance, and said, "I don't want to be cut off by the Qin people before I wake up from the wine." ”

Mao Dun smiled: "The leader of Hagen is very different from the other leaders. ”

Hagen said: "Wine is indeed a good thing, but when to drink it, now that the war is coming, drinking is equivalent to giving the enemy a chance, I, Hagen, am not so stupid!" ”

Mao Dun smiled slightly and said, "Chief Hagen, maybe we can become friends." ”

Hagen looked at Mao Pao very unexpectedly, and then smiled: "Da Dan Yu is laughing, how can Hagen do anything, everything Hagen does is just for his father." ”

"But Da Shan Yu can rest assured, since Lao Dan Yu took the initiative to give way, then my Haji tribe will be loyal to Da Dan Yu, I only hope that Da Dan Yu will not have doubts about our Haji tribe."

"Hahaha!" Mao Dun smiled and said: "Leader Hagen, you are really good at Central Plains culture, let Ben Danyu be like talking to the Qin people." ”

"Thank you Da Shan Yu for complimenting, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." Hagen clenched his fists, then took control of the horse and left.

Maudun's eyes narrowed as he looked at the back of Hagen leaving, he could now possibly that if he wanted to unify the steppe, this Hagen would definitely be a great threat.

······

At this time, Xianyang, thousands of miles away, is sunny and lively.

A group of soldiers escorted the Xiongnu envoy Haji to Xianyang, and the people of Xianyang were very surprised when they saw Haji, and they looked at this strangely dressed man on both sides of the road.

Haji was also observing the people of Daqin, and Haji found that after the people of Daqin saw him, there was no look of fear and worry in their eyes.

Some people even have killing intent in their eyes, and it is obvious that the Great Qin people are not afraid of the Huns.

Haji looked at the orderly streets and houses, and at the crowds of people, and even a trace of envy appeared in his heart.

The people of the Central Plains do not have to endure the cold winter on the grassland, let alone face the wolves on the grassland, which is the life that many Huns want.

Haji was finally arranged in the Qinxi Inn, and only Haji lived in the entire inn, and the people in the store were all sent from the palace.

Seeing such pomp and circumstance, Haji knew that the Qin people attached great importance to him, and immediately felt that this peace talks might be able to proceed smoothly.

At that time, he will be able to return to the grassland with Daqin's supplies and peace talks, and exchange peace and vast grasslands for the grassland, so that the tribes no longer have to worry about running wolves and light horses.
