Chapter 596: Heavy losses

"Check, give me a thorough investigation of the matter." "It's not just the three of you, it's my army that's involved, except for the new barracks.

This suggests that the four of us may have mixed in with the enemy."

"Impossible." King Zuo Xian took the lead and said, "They are all from Mobei. It's been more than ten years, how can it be mixed into the fine work."

"Then tell me, why did last night's incident happen?" Touman asked in a deep voice.

King Zuo Xian couldn't answer for a moment.

King Youxian said, "What happened last night is really weird. For as long as we can remember, we've been safe for all of you.

But we came to the foot of Yin Mountain, and such a thing happened the next day, and it was really possible that this was the strategy of the Qin army.

They deliberately deceived us into coming, and then caused our four barracks to fight each other, resulting in a lack of troops, and finally took us down in one fell swoop."

Touman's hearts trembled suddenly, this is very possible, and everyone looked at each other.

"Quick, send scouts in and out to monitor the Qin army's every move." Touman said immediately.

"No."

Then a group of scouts left the barracks.

Tou Man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Whether this matter is a conspiracy of the Qin army or not, we must treat it as a conspiracy of the Qin army.

Otherwise, the news of the cannibalism of the Huns will spread, which will not only affect our reputation, but also the trust between the soldiers.

Once there is no trust between the soldiers, then we will lose this big battle with the Qin army without a fight."

The three of Zuo Xianwang nodded one after another, the trust between the soldiers was indeed very important.

"Shan Yu, the three of us, go and comfort the soldiers now."

Touman nodded and let them go down.

After seeing them leave, Touman's eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, he never dreamed that yesterday everyone was still drinking wine and eating meat, singing and dancing together, but after just one night, there was a killing of each other.

"Newspaper." Touman's cronies walked in.

Touman looked at his cronies and immediately asked, "How's the investigation going?" How many people did we lose? How did it happen?"

After hesitating for a moment, the cronie said, "Returning to Shan Yu, it has been determined that 30,000 people have died, of whom 50,000 were injured.

The cause of this incident was that someone in the army of King Zuo Xian suddenly shot arrows at the camp of King Youxian, and shot and killed many soldiers of King Youxian, and the person who shot had already been killed. The villain has no way of knowing the specific reason."

"Then why was the general and my barracks also affected, but the new barracks not?" Touman asked again.

"Returning to Shan Yu, the villain asked the general and our archers, and the people on the general's side said that it was the Right Xian King who suddenly shot arrows at them, and ours said that the people on the general's side shot arrows at us.

When asked why, our people said that it was probably because they didn't accept us normally, and this time they just wanted to vent their anger.

The general's people said that the people on the side of the Right Xian King had already had a holiday with them, and this time there must have been a few archers targeting the general.

So it was just a mess of fighting, and when it hit, everyone couldn't stop, and once they stopped, they would be killed.

Fortunately, Shan Yu was wise enough to blow the horn of retreat, otherwise everyone might have been killed by their own people."

"Damn, isn't this equivalent to death without proof, and we have lost 80,000 horses in a daze?" Touman said angrily.

Originally, they only had more than 200,000 horses, but now that they are good, they have lost a small half directly, which is too great for him.

If the Qin army came over at this time, I am afraid that they would be powerless to resist.

"You go down first, let me be quiet."

"No."

Shortly after the cronies left, the Yan clan came.

When Tou Man saw the Yan family, he was in a much better mood and asked, "Why are you here?"

」

He said, "I'm here to persuade Shan Yu to retreat for the time being."

"You're telling me to retreat?" A look of anger appeared on Touman's face.

Yan Shi smiled and said, "Shan Yu, don't be angry first, I have my own reasons for saying this, please listen to me slowly."

"Okay, you say, if you don't give a reason, I will definitely punish you for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army." Touman snapped.

Yan Shi showed an embarrassed smile and said, "Shan Yu, now that we have suffered heavy losses, if we encounter the Qin army at this time, we will definitely be defeated.

And if this is known to people in other countries, they will definitely want to deal with us, and we are in urgent need of troops now."

"We still have Donghu as an ally. I received news from Jireh, who, together with the general of Donghu, led an army of 100,000 Donghu to the foot of the Yin Mountain.

We'll be able to replenish our forces then, so don't worry about that."

"That's all the more impossible." Yan said, "If Donghu knows about our current situation, if they don't form an alliance with us, or if they take refuge in the Qin army, it will probably be even more disadvantageous to us.

The relationship between the Donghu people and us is not good enough to help us.

And I am even more worried that the Donghu army will directly deal with us, although we still have more than 100,000 troops, but now our army has been detached, demoralized, and completely vulnerable."

"The Hun warriors are all extraordinary, how can they be vulnerable." Touman immediately retorted.

"Yes, yes, yes. That's what I'm talking about. But we are not afraid of ten thousand, we are afraid of what if." The Yan clan continued, "We only need to withdraw to Mobei, and then target the countries of the Western Regions, especially the Yue Clan of the Western Regions, as long as we take them, we can make a comeback."

"Do you mean to abandon the Qin army and attack the Yue Clan instead?" Touman frowned slightly.

This can really be done.

Yan continued, "Shan Yu, didn't you send Mao Dun to find the Qin army now? Immediately find him and let him go directly to deal with the Yue Clan, and Shan Yu will lead the army to the Yue Clan Country now.

In the last move, we must not only take the Yue's country, but also other countries in the Western Regions, strengthen our Xiongnu, and then make a comeback."

"Okay." Touman said excitedly, "Go and invite the Zuo Xian King and the Great General to come over, I have something important to discuss."

"No."

Soon, the king and the general came to Touman's tent, and they saw not only Touman but also Yan, so they saluted the two of them.

Tou Man said: "The three of you don't need to be polite, after yesterday's accident, our vitality has been greatly damaged, and in this case, if we continue to fight against the Qin army, we can only touch the egg against the stone.

Therefore, I plan to change my goal, first to attack the Yue Clan Kingdom, then to occupy the Western Regions, and finally to Donghu.

After our forces are expanded, we will make a comeback and deal with Great Qin, what do you three think?"

The left and right kings and the great generals were all shocked by Touman's decision.
