Chapter 524: Soldiers enter Donghu
Chapter 524 Just when Daqin was about to make a move on Donghu, King Donghu died suddenly, and he was killed by one of his princesses.
After King Xiaohu suppressed the rebellion in the palace, he killed all the opponents who suddenly appeared by forceful means, and ascended to the throne in only one day.
However, after solving the internal troubles, the new king of Donghu did not notice the external troubles faced by Donghu. On the first day after King Donghu ascended the throne, he began to enjoy himself, releasing the pressure in his heart that had been suppressed by the old King Donghu for a long time.
And right on the Donghu border, the Qin army was rapidly assembling. The Qin army camp on the grassland was preparing to pull out the camp and march eastward, when suddenly the guards came to the Chinese army's tent and reported: "General Qiyu, Haji committed suicide in his own camp tent. Meng Tian and the others were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect this Haji to be so dignified, but they didn't expect it.
The guard continued: "Hagen and several of Haji's men were also killed, and it is unknown who did it. Killing people in the army and not letting people know about it is obviously not a trivial matter, but Meng Tian only said lightly: "I know, bury them, go down." โ
"No!" Meng Tian and Wang Ben glanced at each other, and both of them knew what was going on. Haji did commit suicide, but Haji died, and Haji's son Hagen and Haji's men must not stay, and it was none other than His Majesty's secret guard who killed these people.
Only the secret guards can kill these people silently in the army, which is why Meng Tian and Wang Ben are so light on this matter.
Bai Yi and the others were a little puzzled at first, but they quickly figured it out, the things that the two generals didn't care about, and they were juniors, so they couldn't care about it.
Meng Tian said: "According to the latest news, the old King Donghu was assassinated and killed, and the current King of Donghu is the son of the old King Donghu. โ
"The information in our hands now, there is almost no information about this new Donghu King, but at present, judging from the actions of this Donghu King, it is obvious that we don't have much defense against my Great Qin, this is our opportunity."
"According to the plan, our army will be stationed at the Donghu border first, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu will enter Donghu in three days." Wang Ben said.
"General, His Royal Highness the King of Shu's army has just finished fighting in the Kei Kingdom, and now he is doing it to Donghu first, will he be a little tired." Han Xin frowned.
Meng Tian smiled and said: "You think too highly of the combat power of the Ji Kingdom, His Royal Highness the King of Shu has basically been training and resting while fighting in the past few months, and now they are all eager to fight in the grassland." โ
"Moreover, His Royal Highness the King of Shu lost 10,000 taels of gold in Donghu, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu wants to come back, and it is not appropriate for our army to attack first." Wang Ben said with a smile.
Then they looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't speak, but they all understood. Three days later, Fusu, the king of Shu, led a large army out of the Great Wall, and the army directly killed Donghu.
Donghu originally had a large army guarding this side of the Great Wall, after all, the old Donghu King was always uneasy about the Qin people.
But after the assassination of the old King Donghu, a huge change occurred in Donghu, and the army here was also transferred back by the King of Donghu.
By the time King Donghu reacted, the Qin army had already penetrated deep into the hinterland of the grassland, and several tribes had been exterminated by the Qin army.
"What's going on! What's going on! Who can tell this king! What's going on! In the face of King Donghu's roar, all his subordinates bowed their heads silently.
"Who was last time! I went to the Qin people and said that the Qin people would not attack Donghu! Who is it! King Donghu asked sharply.
One of his subordinates trembled and said, "Back to the king, that man has died in the previous rebellion. โ
"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! King Donghu stood up angrily and said in a deep voice: "Good! Since the Qin people dare to offend my Donghu, my Donghu is not at the mercy of others! Pass the order! Gather all your forces and kill the king of Shu at all costs! One of the chiefs hurriedly stood up and said, "Great King! The Qin army will definitely not have only one army to commit Donghu this time. Now the main force of the Xiongnu is missing, the Xiongnu grassland has basically been occupied by the Qin army, and there are still hundreds of thousands of Qin troops on the grassland. โ
"So what do you say?" King Donghu asked.
"Great King, after our army gathers all its strength, we must divide at least 200,000 troops, the Qin army in the direction of the local grassland." The leader said.
"How many troops can we muster?" King Donghu asked.
"Back to the king, you can gather an army of 400,000 at present."
"That is, to use half of the troops to guard against the Qin army? Anyway, 200,000 against 100,000! The advantage is mine! This time, I must let that shameless Qin people know that I am not easy to mess with! King Donghu said angrily.
Donghu gathered a large army, led by the king of Donghu, and the army of 200,000 marched south. ยทยทยทยทยทยท Fusu led the army deep into the hinterland of Donghu, which can be said to be extremely smooth, but the problem also followed, the supply line of the army was a little long, if it was not for Yang Runhe to find out in time, I am afraid that the army's grain and grass would not be able to keep up.
So the army could only stop for a while.
"Your Highness! According to the laughter, Prince Donghu led an army of 200,000 to our army, and it seems that he just reacted. Yang Runhe said with a smile.
"Just in time!" Fusu smiled: "I'm afraid he won't come, since he is here now, then our army is waiting for work." Yang Runhe continued: "However, Donghu still left 200,000 troops in the rear to guard against General Meng Tian. โ
"200,000 troops, it is estimated that it is not enough for General Meng to fight." Fusu said: "How does General Yang plan to fight this battle?" โ
"The minister still thinks about it, how does His Highness think about it?" Yang Runhe asked rhetorically. Fu Su smiled slightly and said, "This king has an idea, but I don't know if this Donghu King has the courage to jump in." โ
"Your Highness, might as well tell me about it?" Yang Runhe said. At this time, one of the guards walked in and said, "Your Highness! Checkmate! Letter from Xianyang! โ
"Bring it." Fusu stretched out his hand and said. Fusu took the letter, opened it and read it, and smiled happily: "Hahaha! The princess of this king has added a little girl to this king! Hahaha! โ
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations to Your Highness! Yang Runhe also said happily. Fusu said with a smile: "This year's good things are coming one after another, and this king wants to take advantage of this happy event to hit the Donghu army in one fell swoop!" โ
"Pass the order! Today, the whole army adds meat! They are all open to the king to eat! Yang Runhe stood aside, although it was a little difficult to transport grain and grass now, but the king of Shu was happy, he couldn't sweep away the interest of the king of Shu, and it could also boost morale.
