20,000 Yueshi people crossed the river with the help of the Xiongnu.

looked at the dried blood stains on the Yue Clan's knight's body, and the embarrassment and unbearable after the fight.

Tou Manshan Yu and many Xiongnu nobles can all imagine what kind of fierce battle this Yueshi cavalry has gone through to come here.

I heard that when this Yueshi people escaped from Helan, there were still 30,000 horsemen, but now there are only 20,000 left, and such a sacrifice makes the Huns suspicious of them greatly reduced.

"Sugartha, the daughter of Kushan, has seen the plough alone."

The leader of the Yueshi people was a woman in her twenties, and under the escort of many Yueshi knights, she rode to the front of the Xiongnu formation and performed a steppe etiquette to the Xiongnu.

She also held a golden cane in her hand, which was said to be a relic of a Marquis of Xi.

Tou Manshan lit up in front of him.

This Yueshi woman named Su Jiasha has a high nose and deep eyes, blue eyes, and slightly natural curly hair, which is a look he has never seen before.

Tou Mandan Yu once heard from a merchant who came and went that in the west of Yueshi, there was a vast expanse of land, where there was a desert and an oasis, and the people there had a high nose and deep eyes like Su Jiasha, and the eyes and hair color were not the same as those in the East.

Su Jiasha's appearance made Tou Manshan relax his vigilance.

He returned the salute, put on a "king" posture, and said loudly: "The Qin people once relied on deception to sneak attack our Xiongnu, and now they have used the same trick again, harming your Yue clan and killing and capturing your Marquis. At this point we have a common topic and the same enemy. ”

"Now the noble girl has come to take refuge in Ben Dan Yu with her subordinates, and Ben Dan Yu is the king of the grassland, so she will naturally not refuse, and will give you food, give you a place to rest, and take you to take revenge on the Qin people!"

Tou Manshan Yu's words were full of generosity, which made the Zuogu Liwang Wulu in the rear grit his teeth when he heard it.

A smile appeared on Sujiasha's tense face, and the opposite head Mandan Yu bowed again, and said, "Da Shan Yu's mind is really as broad and vast as the grassland. Now that my father was killed by the Qin, and the Marquis of the Xiumi Department was captured by the Qin, we have lost our clansmen and livestock, and we can only rely on Da Danyu. ”

"We have a hatred with the Qin people like a mountain, as long as we can deal with the Qin people, our 20,000 Yue Clan warriors here are willing to obey Da Dan Yu!"

That's what I'm waiting for!

Tou Manshan nodded in satisfaction.

This woman is very good.

This was the real reason why he took in the remnants of the 20,000 Yue Clan.

The two powerful Yue tribes, under the sneak attack and ferocious attack of the Qin people, one of the Marquis of Xi was killed by the Qin people, the other was captured by the Qin army, and even the eldest son of the Marquis of Guishan, Lajiagu, also broke through the blockade of the Qin army in the north and died heroically.

Now the 20,000 people who escaped are all under the command of Su Jiasha, the daughter of the Marquis of Guishan, and a woman leads the remnants of the 20,000 Yue Clan, which is the most miserable and depressing time, and it is also a favorable time for him to take control of it.

Mastering the 20,000 Yueshi cavalry and training them into obedient dogs, Tou Mandanyu's position in the Xiongnu will be extremely stable, and he will no longer be afraid of being betrayed.

Shan Yu's greedy gaze swept over the towering chest and well-proportioned waist of the Yueshi woman, and finally landed on the exotic face.

Sugartha gave a flattering smile.

The delicate red lips, the blue pupils, the hooked head Manshan itched in his heart, and he felt a flame rising in his lower abdomen.

He had previously given his most beautiful 阏氏 (yān zhī) to the king of Donghu to appease the covetousness of Donghu.

Sometimes when I think of this, Tou Manshan Yu feels very regretful.

After all, the Yan family was the most favored by him, and he even had the idea of abolishing his eldest son Mao Dun and making the son born to the Yan family his heir.

But now, Tou Manshan Yu feels that his heart has a new belonging.

Tou Manshan Yu turned his head and instructed Hu Yanyu: "The Marquis of the Left Bone, the warriors of the Yue clan fought with the Qin people all the way, and they are our friends of the Huns. You arrange a fertile pasture for them to live in, and bring them enough cow and sheep cheese to eat, so that our friends will not go hungry. ”

"Yes."

Hu Yanyu immediately responded, stretched out his hand to Su Jiasha beside him, and said, "Noble girl, please come with me." ”

Before leaving, Sugarsha said some words of worship and gratitude to Tou Mandan Yu again, and the delicate voice hooked Tou Mandanyu's heart more and more itching.

It is in the nature of men to be.

As the king of the Xiongnu, Toumandan Yu would not have attached such importance to a woman, but Sugarsha was not only a beautiful woman of different races, but she also had 20,000 cavalry of the Yue clan behind her, which increased her attractiveness.

"Da Shan Yu, these Yueshi people don't look at us right, we have to be careful."

After the Yueshi people left, Yi Hanxie, the right general of the Huns, came up and admonished Tou Mandanyu.

Thinking of Hu Yanzu's report, Wu Luxu's recent information about the close relationship with this right general.

Tou Manshan was displeased in his heart, so he snorted coldly: "The Yue people took away the Henan land of Wuluxu before, and now they have been defeated by the Qin people and come to join us, isn't it normal for them to be on guard?" ”

"Now these defeated Yueshi people are surrounded by our 90,000 Hun warriors, lacking food and utensils, and everything they need needs us to provide, and they can't make any waves. Don't be afraid that they have different intentions, what really needs us to be careful is the Qin people from the south! ”

As he spoke, Tou Manshan Yu turned his head to look at the south of the river.

Qin general Zhao Tuo.

The man who humiliated him is coming.

……

The black flag fluttered again in the wilderness south of the Great River.

is different from Cao Mengde's use of Wangmei to quench his thirst to motivate the soldiers, but in fact, there is no difference between Merlin.

General Zhao Tuo said that after walking out of the desert, there was a big river and grassland is true.

In the northern part of the desert, a large river flows slowly.

On both sides of the river, a field with rich water and soil is moistened.

The wild golden grass was trampled by the horse's hooves.

Zhao Tuo was draped all over his body, sat on a sturdy war horse, and took a group of guards to the river, looking at the other side of the river.

Behind him, countless Qin soldiers in black armor began to choose a place and prepare to set up camp.

"Sujiasha's people who stayed here said that the Huns have agreed to Yue's request for refuge, and it seems that the first step of our plan has been successful."

Chen Ping walked over and brought back the information that Su Jiasha had left here, and his voice was obviously relieved.

The Qin army's plan, what they were most afraid of was that the Huns refused to surrender to the remnants of the Yue clan at the beginning, so that the plan would be directly blocked.

Zhao Tuo could only play the tactics of strong attack, so that even if he won the battle, the casualties of the Qin army would increase a lot.

Fortunately, Li Shiqi had dealt with Touman Shan Yu in Daidi, and his rhetoric about the old wolf's personality and situation successfully moved the other party.

As long as the Yue clan was accepted, the Qin people's plan would be half successful.

Of course, there is a possibility that this plan will fail, that is, even if the Huns did not see through Zhao Tuo's plan, they did not want to unite with the Yue clan, and even had the idea of deceiving them across the river, and then attacking and annexing.

In this way, the 20,000 Yue Clan and Su Jiasha will be ironclad.

However, for the Qin army, the 20,000 Yue's cavalry and Su Jiasha were originally people of different races, even if they were really killed by the Xiongnu, it would not be much of a loss for the Qin army headquarters, and it was not unacceptable.

Zhao Tuo held a golden copper tube in both hands, placed it in front of one eye, closed the other, and made a distant gesture in the direction of the other side of the river.

Li Shiqi and Chen Ping both looked at this scene curiously.

They knew that this long tube-shaped thing was a treasure that had been sent from Xianyang in an urgent manner, and it was escorted to Helan by a thousand cavalry guards, which showed the importance of this thing.

The general often took this thing and made this lookout appearance on the grassland, sometimes looking at the sky, sometimes looking at the cattle and sheep in the distance, and sometimes standing on a high slope to look at the military camp of the Qin army and the herdsmen of the Yue clan.

Li Shiqi and Chen Ping are smart people, and the general didn't say what this thing was for, so they didn't ask. At this moment, when the general made such a move, he was silent beside him.

After a while, Zhao Tuo suddenly spoke: "Two miles on the other side of the river, there are fifteen Huns, who seem to be patrolling and guarding, and the man led by them is riding a white horse. ”

Everyone was stunned.

Li Shiqi looked across the river, because the distance was so far that he could only see a bunch of figures, and it was difficult to count the number of the other party, let alone see the color of the horse the other party was riding.

My eyes are so bad?

Is it old?

Li Shiqi was a little stunned.

On the contrary, Chen Ping reacted quickly, and after he found that he couldn't see clearly, he stared at the long tube-like object in Zhao Tuo's hand in surprise and asked, "General, could it be that this thing can help with vision?" ”

Zhao Tuo smiled and said, "Just look at it." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Tuo handed the object in his hand to Chen Ping and motioned for him to watch.

Chen Ping carefully took this thing, put it in front of one eye in the appearance of a general, and then looked at the other side of the river.

"Oh my God! What kind of artifact is this, to be able to put something so far in front of you! ”

Even if he had a guess in his heart, when Chen Ping saw the miraculous scene, he still couldn't help but scream.

"I'm going to see it too!"

After Chen Ping finished reading it, he hurriedly put this thing in front of him, and immediately shouted, and shouted in his mouth: "If you peep with this object, wouldn't you be able to see all the movements of others clearly." ”

Li Shiqi licked his lips, and in his nimble head, he had already come up with all kinds of wonderful uses.

Chen Ping swallowed his saliva and asked, "General, what kind of object is this, and it has such a magical effect?" ”

"This thing is called a clairvoyant mirror, which can magnify things from miles away in front of you, it is a treasure made by Shaofu, and it took almost a year to finally get it out, which can help me fight on this grassland."

Zhao Tuo opened his mouth to explain.

He hadn't announced this thing to the two of them before, one was to test the function himself first and see how it worked. The other is also for secrecy, after all, this item is too valuable, and it would not be good if the function was leaked before the war.

Now that everything is ready and the war is about to begin, it is time for Chen Ping and Li Shiqi to know that they can arrange it on the battlefield according to the function of the clairvoyant mirror and greatly play the role of this thing.

"What Shaofu made, it took almost a year? This thing must have been made by the general! ”

Li Shiqi's heart moved, and when he calculated the time, he knew that this thing was also Zhao Tuo's masterpiece.

Zhao Tuo was about to open his mouth to explain, but Li Shiqi had already said to himself: "I think it must be recorded on the fragment of the male loser, this male loser is really a god!" ”

Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly, but he didn't have to explain.

With the public loser endorsing him, now no matter what Zhao Tuo makes, outsiders will automatically make up for the public loser's body, but let him let go of his hands and feet at will, and make whatever he wants, without attracting the suspicion of others.

Anyone who can do anything!

Zhao Tuo was even a little curious about what future generations would say about the character of the lost son (Lu Ban).

The Origin of All Things?

The crowd praised the clairvoyant's ability and studied its use in warfare.

After a while, Li Shiqi looked at the scene on the other side of the river again, his face was a little hesitant, and finally turned into firmness.

He turned to Zhao Tuo, and in Chen Ping's surprised gaze, he spoke: "General, now our Qin army is gathered on the south bank of the Great River, and wants to fight to the death with the Xiongnu. The war is imminent, although there are all kinds of arrangements and arrangements for the generals, and there are 20,000 Yueshi people who are behind us, but we don't know anything about the current situation of the Xiongnu, we don't know their troops, we don't know their plans, everything is not clear. ”

"I've heard the art of war say that only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one survive a hundred battles. He was willing to cross the river to send an envoy to the Huns, to explore the movements of the Huns for the general, to understand their troop arrangements and specific information, and then to go to war, so that nothing could go wrong. ”

Zhao Tuo's eyes narrowed, staring at Li Shiqi, who had an excited face and took the initiative to ask for his life.

Last time, he deceived the Huns on behalf of the old miserable, and now he took the initiative to ask for his life, isn't he afraid of being skewered and roasted by the Huns?

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said: "Mr. Li and Chen Sheng are both my henchmen, and they are the masterminds in the army, and An Neng is in danger. If you want to send an envoy to find out the information of the other party, it is a different person. ”

Chen Ping, who was next to him, moved in his heart, and immediately arched his hand and said: "General, otherwise let me go, I have no old hatred with the Huns, and I think they won't embarrass me." ”

Li Shiqi glared at Chen Ping and said, "You want to rob me about looking for death?" The barbarians in the north don't talk about the two armies fighting, and if they don't kill the envoys, don't they forget the envoy who was killed by the Marquis of the Yue Clan? And let me ask you, do you know the Xiongnu language? ”

The corners of Chen Ping's mouth twitched slightly, he had just learned the Yueshi language, how could he know what Xiongnu language, and he was not a linguistic genius, muttering: "Wouldn't it be okay to bring a translator." ”

However, thinking of the fact that the barbarian who Li Shiqi said was unreasonable and dared to kill the messenger, he still retreated and did not dare to fight anymore.

Li Shiqi snorted, then turned his head to Zhao Tuo and smiled: "Since the last time I dealt with the Huns, I have learned the Xiongnu language a rough way, and now that the Huns are about to be destroyed, if you don't find a chance to use it, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future." ”

Zhao Tuo frowned.

Li Shiqi gritted his teeth and said, "General, just let me go." I want to be promoted! ”

Li Shiqi looked at Zhao Tuo, and there were bloodshots in his eyes.

He is now the right chief, and if he wants to be promoted to a higher level of the left guard, he must have a lot of credit.

But he is a strategist and lobbyist, and it is difficult to kill the enemy without going to the battlefield, and if he wants to be promoted to a knighthood and make meritorious contributions.

Therefore, the envoy to the Xiongnu before the war was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, even if his life was in danger, he had to gamble.

The world is bustling, all for profit.

The world is crowded, all for profit.

He eats it, and he is born for fame and fortune!

I'm going to go out to run errands later, so I'll have this chapter today, and I'll make up a chapter in three days.

In the text, the details of the Xiongnu and Yue's crossing the river are ignored, because the situation of the Yellow River at that time and the way the nomads crossed the Yellow River were not found, and it was not easy to deduce and make up, so it was good to ignore this detail.

However, the nomads must have been able to cross the Yellow River with large troops, after all, they went south from Yinshan to occupy Henan, and later the Qin army recovered Henan and then crossed the river north to capture Yinshan, proving that both the Xiongnu and the Qin army could cross the Yellow River with large forces, there is no doubt about this.
