After crossing the main road of the river, Zhao Tuo did not pursue a noble and fast fighting style like Helan did during the First World War.

Instead, he rode and infantry in parallel, slowly advancing in the direction of the Beihe River, sweeping away the Xiongnu and Rong tribes in the Hetao along the way.

In the eyes of many, General Zhao's slow action gave the Huns time to react, which was delaying the fighters.

Sima Liang and Wang Li even advised Zhao Tuo that they should send cavalry to the north quickly, cooperate with the boat division that detoured to the Beihe, and seize the river bank after crossing the river quickly, so as to prepare for the subsequent army crossing the river.

Otherwise, once the Huns reacted and held along the river, the Qin army wanted to cross the river, and the difficulty would double, and it would have to pay a lot of casualties.

For these suggestions, Zhao Tuo smiled in return, and only said that he would know when the time came.

Sima Liang, Wang Li and others had doubts in their hearts, but because of the general's invincible record, they still suppressed their doubts and concentrated on directing the army to hurry.

"Why didn't the Admiral inform the generals of his plan?"

Chen Ping asked suspiciously.

The general's plan is now only known to a few of their henchmen and strategists, and no one under his command is clear, so Wang Li and the others will come here to make suggestions in confusion.

Zhao Tuo glanced at Chen Ping and said, "It's useless to inform them, because whether our plan can be successful or not is not here, but in the royal court, in the right general, and in Touman." There is no absolute certainty in this matter, if things change at that time, informing in advance will affect the thinking of the generals, it is better to respond to the situation on the spot. ”

"The general is really well-intentioned."

Chen Ping nodded in praise, thoughtful in his eyes.

Zhao Tuo's face was calm.

In addition to telling Chen Ping the reason, in fact, what is more important is that as the commander of the first army, he does not need to say all his thoughts, sometimes the more he says, the worse it is.

His plan this time is not absolutely successful, if he is informed in advance, so that his subordinates have expectations, the result is unsatisfactory at that time, his prestige will be greatly lost, and his subordinates will feel that the general is nothing more than that, and even become a joke.

But if you pretend to be mysterious beforehand, even if the final result changes, there will be no side effects. On the contrary, the plan was successful, but the mysterious gesture made in advance could surprise his subordinates, and they felt that the general actually had a strategy in his chest and planned in advance, which was admirable.

This is something that Zhao Tuo slowly comprehended after being a superior, and it belongs to the advanced skills of a leader.

Zhao Tuo asked again: "How is the matter with our right general?" ”

A strange smile appeared on Chen Ping's face, and he bowed his head and said: "The right general of the Huns is extremely cunning, and when we attacked at night, he asked his cronies to wear his clothes to the north, and he himself fled westward. ”

"What we have captured is a fake Xiongnu right general, who has been identified by many Xiongnu captives. Now that he has been beheaded in public, the news has spread throughout the army, and the few selected Huns who have sent the message should know about it. ”

Zhao Tuo nodded and said, "That's very good, cut off the ears of those Huns, and let them bring my letter to Touman." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Tuo turned his head to look at the north.

All the chess pieces have been laid out, and whether it can be done depends on Touman's choice.

……

South of Yin Mountain, the head of Manchester City.

Tou Manshan Yu looked at the right general Yi Hanxi, who was dressed in ordinary herdsman's clothes in front of him, and looked embarrassed, so he was so angry that he hit him with the whip in his hand.

"Yi Han Evil, you idiot, this is to let you patrol day and night to prevent the Qin army's sneak attack, you treat it as nonsense, aren't you. If it weren't for the fact that you drank and had fun, ignored Ben Danyu's words, and didn't even send out patrols, how could the Qin people cross the river so easily? ”

"Even if you have few people and can't stop the Qin people, if there are patrolling people to warn, you must not be successfully attacked by the Qin people, and you will lose thousands of people, stupid, it's all your fault!"

Tou Manshan was furious, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, and he crackled with a whip.

Yi Han Xie hurriedly dodged the whipping of Tou Manshan Yu, and screamed in his mouth: "I sent the horses under my tent to patrol the river, but this cheap breed got drunk and didn't go, which made the Qin army's sneak attack successful, Da Shan Yu, it's not my fault!" ”

"You dare to lie to me, it's your fault that you lost the Great River Defense Line and the tribe!"

Tou Man didn't listen at all, and a whip hit the right general's chest, and he jumped up and down in pain, screaming wah.

Seeing that Yi Han was smoked very badly, he kept defending.

Wuluxu, the king of Zuogu Li, who was good friends with him, couldn't help but speak: "Da Danyu, I think Yi Hanye has always been cautious in doing things, not like this kind of person, that horse plough is also in the royal court, it is better to let him come to confront him!" ”

"Confrontation, this wild horse day horse plough has ruined a big thing, and he even dares to frame me, Da Danyu, I want to confront him!" Ihan-sin screamed.

Tou Mandan blushed and put down the whip in his hand.

He slapped the right general just now, just to vent the anger in his heart, with his intelligence, he could still see that there was something greasy in this, so he sent someone to call the horse plow.

As soon as the two confronted each other, Ma Li's mouth was immediately exposed.

The reason why he put all the responsibility on the right general was that after escaping, he heard that the right general and other Hun nobles were all captured by the Qin army, so he returned to the Shan Yu royal court with confidence, how did he know that this Yi Han evil could actually come back alive.

Feeling Tou Mandan's fierce gaze, and Yi Hanxie looked like he was going to eat him.

In order to save his life, Ma Liyu could only bite hard at this moment: "Da Shan Yu, I heard that the right general has been captured by the Qin army and has become a prisoner of the Qin people, how can he return to the royal court unharmed in this case, I think he may have secretly surrendered to the Qin people and was sent back by Zhao Tuo to be a traitor!" ”

Yi Hanxie's eyelids jumped violently, and he saw Tou Manshan Yu looking over coldly, as well as the suspicious gazes of many Xiongnu nobles.

Yi Han Xie took a deep breath, and then roared at Ma Liqi: "Cheap seed, I obviously sent you to patrol the river, but you didn't go when you were drunk, which caused the Qin people to cross the river without warning, so that my army was attacked by the Qin people, all of this is your fault!" ”

"Now you still dare to frame me in front of Da Shan Yu! Let me tell you, the reason why I was able to come back alive is because I changed clothes with my cronies and asked them to go north, and I fled to the west, and the Qin army was attracted by my cronies and subordinates, so I escaped. ”

"You can run away with your horse and plow, so why can't I escape! Cheap bastard, you dare to frame me, I'm going to cut out your tongue! ”

Ihanevil was furious and pounced on the horse.

The two were about to fight, but Tou Manshan Yu snorted, and the royal court guards rushed up and pressed the two to the ground together.

"Da Shan Yu, this framed me, I'm going to kill him!"

Ihanevil shouted angrily.

Tou Manshan stared at him coldly.

Zhao Tuo's treachery, the Qin army's tricks, and being deceived by the Qin people twice in a row made him full of vigilance for a long time. What the horse plough said, you must not be guarded against.

"Yi Han Xie, where are your guards? Didn't any of them run out with you? ”

Tou Manshan asked coldly and found out all kinds of suspicious points.

Yi Hanxie's face turned red and said, "Da Shan Yu, do you really listen to the words of this and doubt me?" ”

"At that time, the Qin army was chasing and killing us everywhere, in order to escape for my life, I changed into ordinary clothes and escaped, plus it was dark at that time, and there was chaos everywhere, so I was naturally separated from my personal guards. I thought about reporting to Da Shan Yu as soon as possible, so I gave up the time to collect the remnants and ran to the royal court with all my might, Da Shan Yu, you can't doubt me! ”

Listening to Yi Hanxie's argument, Tou Manshan Yu looked at him coldly, and finally waved his hand: "Take it down first, lock it up." ”

"Da Shan Yu, I have made meritorious contributions for you! Bloodshed for you! ”

Yi Han Xie screamed, and was pulled down by the royal court guards.

The horse next to him did not run away, and was escorted down together.

The room returned to peace, and the nobles looked at each other.

Wulu said cautiously: "Da Dan Yu, the right general is my Hun warrior, who has always been brave and strong, and will never surrender to the Qin people easily." And from the sneak attack of the Qin army across the river to the return of the right general, the interval is not long, even if the Qin people really arrest him, it is impossible to surrender him in such a short time, and release him, I think he should be innocent. ”

Tou Manshan Yu glared at Wulu Xuan coldly, and said, "Zhao Tuo is too treacherous and cunning, so he has to guard against it." ”

Hearing this, the Hun nobles remembered the treachery of the Qin army and couldn't help nodding in agreement.

However, most of the nobles' suspicions about the right general were dispelled the next day.

Because Zhao Tuo sent an envoy to Tou Mandanyu again.

Perhaps because of the fear that the Huns would kill the envoys, this time the envoys sent by the Qin army were a few captured Huns.

They had their right ear cut off by the Qin, and they made a mark of a slave on their foreheads, and asked them to carry a letter from Zhao Tuo, the general of the Qin state, to Touman Danyu.

These Huns did not dare to flee and refuse this mission, because the Qin threatened that if the Qin army defeated the Xiongnu and found that these people did not carry letters, they would offer a reward and find them, and give them the most cruel punishment.

They were marked by the Qin army, and they were very easy to recognize, and they were frightened enough by this warning, so they naturally did not dare to disobey it, and brought Zhao Tuo's letter to the royal court.

"What's written on this?"

Tou Manshan Yu took the silk letter and looked at the nobles under him with a confused expression.

All the nobles looked at the strange Qin script on the letter, and they all shook their heads in confusion.

The Huns only have language, not writing, so Zhao Tuo's credit is Qin Wen, and they can't understand it at all.

Sending a letter to Touman Shan Yu that the Huns could not understand was simply a naked humiliation.

What made the Huns feel even more humiliating was that in addition to this letter written by Qin Wen, Zhao Tuo also thoughtfully sent a silk painting with the letter.

It seems that considering the fact that they can't read the text, they are deliberately illustrated with pictures.

In the middle of the painting is a mountain with grasslands and a large river at the bottom of the mountain, and then a group of herdsmen wearing felt hats walking north in horror, and a group of Qin people wearing armor are crossing the river, and there are many herdsmen's corpses lying on the ground.

The Qin people in the painting are majestic and majestic, while the herdsmen are short and obscene, and they are all circle-legged, full of naked ridicule and intimidation.

"Zhao Tuo, this little cub, is this a demonstration to me?"

"Damn, I'm going to kill him!"

Tou Manshan threw the letter and silk painting on the ground, looked at the Huns who had their ears cut off, and felt that his lungs were exploding.

However, he is a generation of heroes after all, seeing these Huns who were sent back by the Qin people, he suppressed the anger in his heart, asked them about the situation of the Qin army, and by the way, he happened to ask about the right general.

"The right general caught by the Qin people is fake, I heard that it was played by the right general's personal guard, and the real right general changed his clothes and ran away at night."

"After the Qin people caught the right general, they also found a number of people to identify it, but they all said no, and finally Qin angrily cut off the head of the warrior who pretended to be the right general, and also passed it on to all the captives in an attempt to intimidate us."

These Huns honestly confessed.

Tou Manshan was not at ease, and ordered people to separate them and force them to ask, but the answer was the same, which shows that everything is true.

This time, it is in line with the rhetoric of the right general Yi Hanxie.

"This guy has a good way of escaping."

Tou Manshan scolded.

After all, what Wulu said is also reasonable, the time for the Qin army to cross the river to defeat the Xiongnu, and then return to the royal court after Yi Hanxie is too short.

For such a little time, it was hard for them to believe that it was almost impossible for the brave and strong right general among the Huns to give in to the Qin people, and also spy for the Qin people.

The reason why Tou Man Shan Yu took precautions was just in case, and now that there are these Huns to support the words of the right general, they naturally dispelled all the doubts of Tou Man Shan Yu.

"Bring Yi Han Xie here, I want to ask him about the situation of the Qin people."

Moments later, Ihan-sin was released.

He walked to the door of this house and saw Tou Man Danyu sitting on the bed in the middle of the hu, as well as the Xiongnu and Yue nobles on both sides were all staring at him.

Ihan-evil felt his heart pounding violently.

He thought of the scene of being tortured by the Qin people using waterboarding again.

The pain was unbearable, it was simply not a torture that a human could think of, and he didn't want to endure it a second time in his life.

At the same time, his ears also rang with the words of the man named Li Shiqi, who said to him in a voice full of temptation.

"If the matter is successful, the Huns will become the dog group raised by my Great Qin outside the Saiwai, and you, Yi Han Evil, will also become the dog king, a new Hun Shan Yu."

Torture punishment, profit temptation.

Ihanye took a deep breath and strode in.
