Chapter 259: The Empire is Twin Strengths, and the Edge Emerges [Asking for Votes]

The moonlight is like silver, and the stars reflect the lake.

Bai Nanyu jumped into the lake like a mermaid, and her fair-skinned figure seemed to blend with the lake water and disappeared.

Not far away, Xiong San was eating fruit with his head bored, his cheeks bulging, and occasionally glanced around vigilantly, like a fat mole.

She is very competent to take on the duty of a lookout post, after all, she has to be responsible for eating other people's things.

Xiong San turned a blind eye to Bai Nanyu in the lake, and only glanced at it occasionally, and his expression was still a little disdainful.

This woman is so burdensome and bulging, far worse than her own strength.

Bai Nanyu washed for a while before she came out of the water and steamed to dry the water stains on her body.

She took out a new dress from one of the storage artifacts she had with her and changed it on, covering her seductive figure. He put his hair behind his head and ran it through with a wooden hairpin.

"Let's go." Bai Nanyu whispered to Xiong Sandao.

Xiong San looked at the lake that was as clear as a mirror, reflecting the starry sky, and there was no place to move.

Bai Nanyu blinked her eyes, and realized: "You want to wash it too?" ”

Xiong San is also a girl who loves cleanliness, nodding innocently.

Bai Nanyu said: "Then you go, I'll watch it for you, and we'll go back together after you finish washing." ”

Xiong San was a little squirming: "But I don't have any fruit for you, so let you help me keep guard." ”

Bai Nanyu smiled: "I don't want your fruit, go ahead." ”

"Okay."

Xiong San was relieved, and took off his clothes generously, revealing a tendon meat that had been exercised by throwing stone locks as grass stalks all year round, which was strong.

She jumped into the water with a thud and splashed at least a foot high: "Comfortable! ”

Bai Nanyu sat on the ground on the sand dune, took off her shoes and socks, revealing her white feet. The sand and gravel come into contact with the small feet, and the particles are not sticky, and they are silky like brocade.

Bai Nanyu and Xiong San returned to the camp after washing, and saw that Huo Quai's Chinese army tent was still lit.

The forbidden army stood outside the camp, and even in the middle of the night, there was still a unique slaughter in the barracks, and there was no slackness.

"You've known Childe for many years?" Bai Nanyu asked Xiong San.

Xiong San raised his voice and said as a matter of course: "My home when I was a child... Ruined by the Huns. The general passed by and saved me. I don't remember much else, anyway, I've known Childe since I was a child. ”

"What was Childe like when he was a child?" Bai Nanyu said curiously.

"Eat, sleep, just like me."

Xiong San thought hard: "There is also research on military affairs." ”

Bai Nanyu was stunned: "What about the others, the son doesn't have any hobbies?" ”

"Collect military books, maybe, I didn't pay much attention."

Xiong San glanced at Bai Nanyu: "Do you want to know about the son, and ask him what his hobbies are." The princess told me that if others inquired about her son, she couldn't tell her casually, and asked me to report it to her. ”

Bai Nanyu was stunned again, raised her hand and took out a handful of fruits from the pocket of the storage.

Xiong San took it very skillfully: "You don't want me to tell the princess?" That's not enough. ”

Bai Nanyu said helplessly: "That's all, I'll give you some tomorrow." ”

Xiong San: "You don't have to give it tomorrow, but you just gave me a sentry, and the fruit you should give you will be offset." Childe said, never owe someone a favor, I'll pay it back, let's settle it.

I went back to sleep. ”

Bai Nanyu responded and returned to her camp.

As soon as she left, Xiong San immediately smiled: "The princess didn't tell her, this Bai Nanyu is stupid." If you don't say that, I will have no fruit for you, and I will keep it for myself to eat. ”

Xiong San felt that he was very smart.

Bai Nanyu returned to the tent and smiled: "Master Hou, this girl seems to be honest and ......."

Inside Huo Quai's tent, the military formations overlapped, covering the surroundings.

The dragon feet formed by the Yellow Emperor's military skills slowly poked out of the formation again.

At the same time, the shadow behind him seemed to have an abnormal rhythm, about to divide into a yin body.

The last time I broke through the four realms, the heaven and earth were sympathetic, and the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Zhuolu emerged.

Huo Quai's military power and military skills are not only the Yellow Emperor's Houtuyan military skills, but also Chiyou's Jiuli military power.

It's incomplete, but it's amazingly powerful.

At this time, in the shadow behind Huo Qu's illness, the rhythm of his breath was the role of part of Jiuli's military power.

In that shadow, there was a shadow with two curved horns on the top of his head, and he was about to come out.

Chi You's Jiuli military power is in harmony with Huo Quzhi's yin body, and a layer of black gas seems to be burning outside his body, like a flame, transmitting unruly and violent fluctuations.

Huo Quai's illness slowly swallowed it, and he was going to practice the Jiuli military power by the way.

But another feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

The induction was a divine message sent by Vena in the Xiongnu royal court: the great shaman is dead, Yi Zhixian is looking for a new shaman inheritor, and the Xiongnu tribes are gathering in the royal court.

The Great Shaman is the human embodiment of the shaman god.

His death was a great mourning for the Huns.

All the Xiongnu tribes who believed in shamans would gather in the royal court.

Inside the camp tent, Jiuli's military skills slowly dissolved into the shadows behind him and disappeared.

Huo Quzhi withdrew his cultivation and propped himself up on the low mat in front of him with one hand, revealing a thoughtful expression...... The Xiongnu tribes gathered, and it seemed that there was really no chance to attack the Xiongnu royal court again.

The next morning.

Huo Qubing personally led the troops out of Yumen to the southwest, and came to the location of the capital of Loulan.

The lord of Loulan was decapitated and escorted out by the Han army, embarrassed.

He didn't expect that the Xiongnu would be defeated like a mountain, and the destruction of Loulan was imminent.

He was pressed to his knees, fear, remorse and other emotions intertwined, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Spare ......"

The executioner of the Han army cut it off with a knife, and the head flew up.

Qiuzi, Gumo and other lords of the country all came over, all showing happy expressions.

Loulan relied on the Xiongnu and exploited the countries of the Western Regions for many years. Seeing the Lord of Loulan die in front of his eyes, people from all over the world felt very happy, and the Lord of Loulan, who was full of evil, finally surrendered to the law.

Huo Quai's illness was immediately announced, and the name of Loulan was cut.

The original Loulan surrendered troops, and the prisoners would be sent to the Han border to serve hard labor. The same is true for cattails.

Huo Qu's words fell, as if he had a heavenly constitution in his mouth, and Loulan's national fortunes completely collapsed.

Its main national fortune torrent runs with the power of heaven and earth, and will be undertaken by the Han.

There are also some national fortunes, because the lord of the country was killed, the national Zuo was interrupted, and before returning to heaven and earth, it was absorbed by Huo Quai's urging society.

However, the outsiders who wanted to be drawn out did not appear.

"Someone."

Huo Quzhi said: "Send a letter to Wusun and other countries in the Western Regions, and ask them to go to Chang'an to face the saint on a certain day and belong to my Han." ”

Someone has gone to herald.

It will take at least 20 days to go to Wusun and other countries for interrogation.

And the emperor has sent an urgent edict to summon Huo to return to Chang'an when he is sick.

Many Western Regions lords have made a little preparation, and they will also go to Chang'an to face the saint.

"General Gongsun, Your Majesty summoned me back to Chang'an. The camp will be jointly garrisoned by you and Zhang Taishou, and the military affairs will be presided over by General Gongsun, and the rest will be presided over by Zhang Taishou.

I commanded 40,000 troops to return to the court, leaving 30,000 troops to guard the Western Regions. ”

Huo Qubing recruited Tai Shouzhang Jun, who had just arrived from Xiguan, and Gongsun Ao: "Li Dang will stay and listen." ”

Gongsun Ao asked, "Are there any things in the Western Regions that need special attention?" ”

"Six or seven countries in the Western Regions, including Wusun, Qiuzi, Yanqi, Gumo, Khotan, Shule, and Miguo, are relatively strong.

And the stronger the country, the less they want to give up the power they have in their hands.

Although we defeated the Xiongnu, except for Qiuci and Gumo, the defeat of the Xiongnu alone by the other countries was not enough for them to voluntarily join our Han. ”

Huo Quzhi said eloquently: "Including Qiuzi, Gumo is currently only willing to be a vassal country.

On the surface, they promised to go to Chang'an to face the saint, but in fact, there will be no less prevarication and delay, and they all have a wait-and-see heart, waiting to see what my big man will do.

They will not easily obey our dispatches. ”

Gongsun Ao realized: "So Lang Zhongling is ready to salute first and then soldier?"

Letting people send a message to Wusun and other countries and ask them to enter Chang'an Face Saint is to test their attitude. ”

"If they know how to advance and retreat, they take the initiative to come to the court, so as not to meet each other." Huo Quzhi said calmly.

On May 9, he left Yumen and returned to the east.

The scale of the returnees was extremely spectacular.

According to later records, the number of people who belonged to the Han Dynasty was tens of thousands.

These people will not all go to Chang'an, but one after another 20,000 people need to move to live in Han to show their loyalty to Han, which is equivalent to a hostage mortgage.

In addition, there were captives captured by sweeping through the Western Xiongnu tribes.

Although he had been sent back to Chang'an several times before, Huo Qu was sick and set off, and he was accompanied by the most, and there were still tens of thousands of people.

All the way to Chang'an, stretching for miles.

However, Huo Quai's illness disappeared after he set off.

Half of the 40,000 elites who returned to Chang'an did not travel with the team, and they did not know where to go with Huo Quai.

The court of the Huns.

When the tribes heard of the death of the Great Shaman, they gathered in Ulaanbaatar.

Looking from the heights of Ulaanbaatar, the tribes under the banner of the tribe are like streams flowing into the sea, coming from all over the grassland.

In May, the grassland is full of greenery, and the grass and trees rise and fall with the wind like an ocean, and the waves are magnificent.

The various tribes gathered, centered on the royal court of Ulaanbaatar, camped outward, and the continuous tabernacle was huge, and the eyes were boundless.

The death of the great shaman made the Xiongnu tribes mourn at the same time, but also made them unprecedentedly united.

The grand occasion of the gathering of all the ministries was rare even in the period when the Xiongnu unified the steppe and let ten thousand tribes come to the court.

The spectacular scene of the crowd in front of him made Yizhi's heart sink to the bottom of the valley alive again.

The confidence of the Huns to conquer the world is still there!

"Han Jiang Huo Quai's departure from the Western Regions and return to Chang'an?"

Yi Zhi's voice was majestic, and he stood on the top of Ulaanbaatar with his hands in his hands, and asked the Hun soldiers who came to tell the news.

The Xiongnu controlled the Western Regions for many years, and although they were defeated by the Han army, some of the remaining arrangements were not all extinguished, and the eyeliner was still there.

The Han army withdrew from the Western Regions, and the Xiongnu arranged in the Western Regions, and transmitted the news back to the royal court through secret channels.

At the same time as receiving the news, Yi Zhi relied on the utensils left by the great shaman, and unexpectedly received a message from the missing Borage:

"At this time, send troops to attack the Western Regions, and the Han army will be unprepared!

My Heavenly Soul Department has a group of soldiers and horses, carrying grain and grass, which has been dormant on the grassland between the royal court and the Western Xiongnu, and has entered a state of combat readiness, and they will go to attack the remaining Han army in the Western Regions. ”

This news made Yi Zhi's heart flutter.

The heyday of the gathering of various departments already made him feel a little turbulent in his heart.

There is even a hidden arrangement for the borage.

Thinking about it carefully, I think it is reasonable to have an arrangement for borage.

The Heavenly Soul Department has a total of 30,000 elites, and the people led by the Great Shaman and the Sulpa Valley before participated in the Northwest War, and it was the combination of the Royal Court and the Heavenly Soul Department, half and half respectively, with a total of only 26,000 people.

The Heavenly Soul Department in the hands of Borage Capital, most of the centaurs do not know where to go.

Yi Zhixian thought that borage would not contribute to it, and secretly had spare strength.

At this moment, Fang knew that the borage had other hidden arrangements, and the force was not exhausted.

In this way, it will live up to the calculations of its Hun gods.

And the soldiers and horses of the Heavenly Soul Department hidden in the borage, the grain, grass and armaments he carried were all obtained from the land he had laid down in the far north, and he was self-sufficient, so Yi Zhixian didn't know where this army was going before, and completely bypassed the Xiongnu royal court.

It is even more unlikely that the Han people would arrange for people and horses to blitz the Western Regions at this time......

Yi Zhi's oblique thought moved, and immediately sent an order to people to come over, and the king's tent soldiers and horses were dispatched, the purpose was to follow the chief Tu Wang, take the opportunity to go to the Western Xiongnu, and after defeating it, the population, tribes, horses, cattle and sheep that were ready to be transferred to the royal court of the Chinese army were all taken over.

Wars are fought against population, resources.

The Western Xiongnu were defeated, and the major tribes were swept away by Huo Quai, but many tribes were still spared.

A large part of these tribes were to be incorporated into the Xiongnu army, and Yi Zhi was keeping a close eye on it, which would fill and strengthen his royal army.

In May, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

The troops sent by Yi Zhixian only need to bring a small amount of grain and grass to quickly mobilize and go out to the battle.

A day later, there were successive teams from the Xiongnu king's tent to the western Xiongnu to receive the population.

The chieftain Tu King also accompanied him back to the Western Xiongnu.

The men and horses of the Heavenly Soul Division, which was hidden in the borage capital, also marched from the dormant location to the southwest to the Western Regions, preparing to wash away the shame of the Xiongnu being defeated in the Western Regions.

This is indeed a good time.

When the Han Dynasty celebrated, the Heavenly Soul Department was completely hidden, not only the Han people couldn't think of it, but even Yi Zhixian didn't know it in advance.

The dispatch of the troops made Yi Zhixian very excited and eagerly awaited.

……

The Western Xiongnu, starting from mid-May, the tribes defeated by the Han army began to migrate to the central area where the Xiongnu royal court was located, under the leadership and support of the two 10,000 troops of the royal court in the royal court.

On May 16th, night fell.

This huge team of migrants set up camp on the grassland.

The whole procession stretched for a long time, leading the cattle and horses.

The last vitality of the Western Xiongnu is here, and there are more than 100,000 people.

In the future, more people will move to the royal court one after another.

The Chieftain Tu King, the Sulphu Valley, and the Heavenly Soul Department General Feng Ti all traveled with the team and were discussing the follow-up migration in the tent.

Because the Han army defeated the main force of the Western Xiongnu, self-preservation became a problem, so the number of relocated departments almost emptied the Western Xiongnu departments.

In a sense, this is a huge wealth.

Therefore, Yi Zhi was in a hurry to let the valley of the slur, and Feng Ti personally went out to escort the troops, and attached great importance to it.

But that night.

In the valley of the valley, the king of the chieftain, Feng Ti suddenly heard a loud noise.

The camp sand flew away, as if it had suddenly been hit by a storm!

The horn of the attack sounded in the camp, and the troops were called to meet the battle.

The Han army is coming!

The Han army actually attacked at this time?

Is it Huo Quai's centaur?

King Tu, Sulu Gu and others were instantly soaked in the cold!

How so?

After fighting the Xiongnu in the northwest, Huo Qubing has been paying attention to the situation on both sides. Whether it was Bai Nanyu who saw him on the topographic map, marking the route to attack the Xiongnu royal court again, or the news delivered by Wei Na, it can be seen that Huo Quai's sight has been on the Xiongnu.

From the beginning of the war, his goal was to completely defeat the Western Xiongnu and not give it a chance to respite its strength.

After receiving the emperor's order, Huo Qubing seemed to be ordered to return to Chang'an.

When Yi Zhixian learned of the withdrawal of the Han army, he immediately wanted to take over the remaining tribal population and property of the Western Xiongnu and make every effort to replenish the royal court.

Huo Quai's illness was halfway back to Chang'an, and he dispatched his troops and suddenly killed him.

You must know that with such a large-scale migration, it is impossible to keep your whereabouts completely secret, so it is logical to be found by Huo Quzhi, who has been paying attention to their movements for a long time.

……

The soldiers and horses of the Heavenly Soul Department wanted to surprise the Han army left behind in the Western Regions, going from north to southwest, and also met a Han army on this night.

What stopped them was Wei Qing, who was ignored by the Huns in this battle because Huo Qu's illness was too strong.

Wei Qing's grand strategic perspective is not at all below Huo Quai's illness, or even above it.

Therefore, it is not unusual for the men and horses of the Heavenly Soul Department to rush and be seen through by Wei Qing.

The route of his actions cannot be accurately judged, but Wei Qing led his troops from south to northwest, which can just become a roadblock.

He set up secret sentinels around him, and he had been waiting for this Heavenly Soul Sect to attack the Han army for several days.

This is a tough battle, and it is also a cooperation between the nephew and uncle.

The two had never communicated beforehand, but they could trust and rely on each other, and guessed that the other party would be able to see through the Huns' unwilling to be defeated. Only after this battle can you really eat the Western Regions.

Only then will the situation in the northwest be truly relatively stable.

This is the cooperation of the two nephews and uncles, thousands of miles away.

Huo Qubing was responsible for completely killing the last bit of hope of the Western Huns, and took the initiative to attack!

Wei Qing was responsible for intercepting the Heavenly Soul Department to prevent it from attacking the Han army.

The synergy between the two is for the Han Dynasty.

PS: If there is no last battle, without the role of Wei Qing, the calculation of the Hun general will not be enough. With this battle, the battle of Hexi will be considered complete, and it will be more reasonable to swallow the Western Regions.

I saw a book friend who said that the writing of the Great Shaman was brief, and the reason was the rhythm of the entire battle process.

Before fighting the front army and the rear army, I wrote the process, and the battle of the great shaman was calculated, if I wrote it in detail, I couldn't take the battle with the back, and it would become a series of wars, too long, and I was tired of watching too much. Now there's a buffer adjustment in the middle, and then the final battle.

Think about it, after this wave of fighting, the Huns will be completely hollowed out, half of the wall will fall, what is the grand occasion when Huo Qu is sick and returns to Chang'an......
