Chapter 265, Touman has a brain disease
It was already five days after the intelligence of Yunzhong County was transmitted to Zhao Guoguo, but HD's reply to Yunzhong County was that it could not hold out, and HD's Zhao Dynasty did not believe that the Huns would go deep to loot, which was not in line with the habits of the Huns, the habit of the Huns has always been to loot nearby, as long as they loot once, they will immediately evacuate and never stay long, nor can they go too deep, but HD has also mobilized troops to strengthen the defense in Guangyan
After getting the information, Li Mu of Yanmen Pass couldn't guess why the Huns' unnormal army movements were caused.
"In addition to the army movement of Zuo Xianwang's department, are there any other movements?" Li Mu asked.
"It's not clear, the direction of Yunzhong County has conveyed the news of the transfer of about 50,000 people from Zuo Xianwang's department." Sima Cuo said.
Li Mu looked at the map behind him, his hand kept sliding between Yunzhong County and the Xiongnu, King Zuo Xian mobilized 50,000 people, it was impossible to go out to play, and he also rubbed the edge of Yunzhong City, which obviously had a greater movement.
"By the way, General, King Lin Hu has sent a message that the snow disaster is serious this year, and he hopes that we can support some of his supplies so that his tribe can survive the winter." Sima Cuo said.
After the battle of Yanmen Pass, Lin Hu was absorbed by Li Mu, not only the Xiongnu were afraid of being killed by Li Mu, but the Hu people were also afraid of Li Mu like a natural disaster, and Lin Hu directly surrendered in the face of the Wuling Iron Cavalry. And Li Mu is also happy to accept, there is no city in the grassland, even if the land is laid, it needs a very high cost to govern, so Li Mu co-opted Lin Hu and let him be responsible for governing these places, and at the same time he also had to pay tribute to the cattle and sheep population of Zhao State.
"Snow Disaster!?" Li Mu suddenly raised his head and set his gaze on Shangdang County at the junction of Qin and Zhao.
"Yes, listening to the words of King Linhu's envoy, the heavy snow in winter is unprecedented in ten years, and the entire grassland is seriously affected, and the small tribes may not be able to support this winter." Sima Cuo said.
"Lin Hu is like this, the Huns must be the same, King Zuo Xian's transfer this time is probably that the Huns are going south, and their target is likely to be Shangdang County or Guangyan of Qin." Li Mu pointed to the map and said.
"Shangdang County of the Qin State? Does Touman have a brain disease? Don't hesitate to detour to Yunzhong County just to rob the party? Although the Qin army of Shangdang was confronting us, there were also many Qin troops dealing with the Xiongnu. Sima Cuo said.
Because Jiuyuan County and Yunzhong County act as a barrier, there is a certain distance between Shangdang County and the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu want to plunder Shangdang County so much, so that Sima Cuo is a little incomprehensible, the longer the attack, the easier it is for the enemy to see through his marching route.
"I don't understand what these people are doing, but what no one can think of, Touman has done it, if it weren't for Zuo Xian's Wangbu showing movement, none of us would have thought that Touman would have helped behind him." Li Mu said.
"Then do we need to remind the Qin side?" Sima asked in the wrong place.
The Xiongnu went south to plunder, this is not a matter between countries, but a war between races, although the hatred between Qin and Zhao is still there, but after all, they are the descendants of Yan and Huang, and they should be unanimous with the outside world. This is also the consensus formed by the soldiers, even if Zhao Guochao has objections, they will "leak" the news to Wang Ben stationed in the party in private. If the Qin side knew about this news, it would also "leak" it to them so that they could be prepared.
If the two countries go to war, one country is invaded by the Xiongnu, the two countries must stop fighting, let the other party deal with the Xiongnu affairs first, and the other country also needs to help the other side guard the army and the city to prevent others from attacking, which is a ritual system left from the Spring and Autumn Period. Although a soldier's trickery has also broken most of the original war etiquette, this kind of racial war is still completely preserved.
"Go ahead, send someone to find a way to send information to Wang Ben. At the same time, let these troops get ready, and when it is determined that the target of the Xiongnu is Shangdang County, follow me to dig out the Xiongnu's lair. Li Mu said.
Sima Cuo's eyes flashed, and he arched his hand and said
"No!"
Just when Li Mu was thinking about sending information to Wang Ben, he didn't know that someone was one step faster than Li Mu and sold the information to Qin State.
HD, inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Guo Kai smiled and looked at his God of Wealth in front of him.
"Yes, Guo Xiang doesn't know why he called me here this time?" The general person in charge of the net in Zhao State, Soul Candle said.
"Mr. Soul, I just received a secret letter here, it is about the Xiongnu to transfer troops to prepare to loot Shangdang County, I don't know if Mr. Soul is interested?" Guo Kai looked at the soul candle and asked.
Guo Kai knew that the soul candle was a person from the Qin State, but he didn't know the true identity of the soul candle, since the Spring and Autumn Period, all countries have the habit of sending spies to other countries, of course, these people are not only to probe the intelligence of the enemy country, but also to find people with lofty ideals or talented people in the other party's country, so as to excavate. Yingyu, the original princess of Qin, and Jing Jian, the favorite minister of Qin Xiaogong, are such people.
At that time, Wei was the most powerful country in the world, and the two infiltrated Wei many times in the name of merchants to explore the national conditions of Wei and dig up talented people for Qin, among which Shang Ying was one of them.
"The Huns plundered Shangdang County? Guo Xiangmo is not joking, there are still Yunzhong and Jiuyuan between Shangdang County and the Xiongnu! If Guo Xiang wants to ask me for a drink, where can I have enough good wine. Soul Candle shook his head and said.
Although he is a killer of the net and does not know how to march and fight, he is not an idiot, and he also knows that if the Xiongnu want to loot Shangdang County, the time and manpower required are higher than those of other places, even if the raid is successful, it will take a lot of time to return to the Xiongnu mainland.
But Guo Kai has traded with him many times, and Soul Candle knows that Guo Kai's reputation in Zhao State is not very good, but the other party is also an honest person, and he has never made a mistake in trading, whether it is some information, or helping Qin Guo say good things or something, he is all collecting money and doing things, without the slightest discount, clearly marked the price, and Tong Su is not bullied.
"Mr. Soul, don't you believe in it? How can the prime minister of a country open his mouth? Guo Kai was not angry, and took out the secret letter sent back from Yunzhong from his arms.
Soul Candle took the secret letter, looked at the handwriting on it and the seal of the general of the defenders in the clouds, and knew that it was not fake, although Guo Kai covered the sky with one hand in Zhao State, but his hand could not reach the hands of the border army, even if it was the defenders of HD, they were only allies with him, not subordinates, which is why King Zhao was so relieved of Guo Kai. Because Guo Kai has no ability to rebel.
"Thank you Guo Xiang, I recently got a few night pearls and fine jade, and I will appreciate them with Guo Xiang later." Soul Candle said.
"Mr. Soul is really a cheerful person, I'll wait for Mr. Soul." Guo Kai said with a smile.
"Then I'll go back and deal with some caravan matters first."
"Go ahead."
After Soul Candle left Guo Kai's Prime Minister's Mansion, he handed over the secret letter to the killer of Luo Net, and asked him to send it to the headquarters of Shangdang County to Wang Ben and Xianyang as soon as possible.
Wang Ben was looking at the information about the transfer of the Zhao army to Guangyan at the moment, and the Zhao army suddenly divided his troops to Guangyan at this stage of confrontation, which made Wang Ben feel abnormal, Guangyan was located at the northern end of Shangdang County, and the northern end of Shangdang County did not have a military town except for some small cities, if the Zhao army went from the north to the south, these cities would not be able to stop it at all. Wang Ben wanted to divide his troops and go, but the mobilization of the army required Xianyang's order, and he had already reported it, Zhao Guo's abnormality.
"General, since yesterday, the Zhao army has made frequent moves, and today Qianmu City came to report that the Zhao army has transferred troops to the north again, do we have to wait any longer?" The adjutant general asked weakly.
"Wait, even if Zhao Jun wants to go to war, it won't start a war now, we have time." Wang Ben said.
Suddenly, a guard came to the lobby and saluted Wang Ben and Dun weakly
"General, Luo Wang sent a letter of information, saying that the general should open it personally, and the source of the information is HD."
"Bring it in." Wang Ben said.
The guards gave the information to Dun Weak, and Dun Weak handed it to Wang Ben, after Wang Ben opened the information, looked at the contents inside, immediately stood up, looked at the Toni on the side and said
"Immediately mobilize the army, and let the three cities of Lishi, Zhongyang, and Puzi mobilize more than half of the troops to rush to Fushi immediately."
Suddenly looked at Wang Ben, who had not agreed to the transfer of troops before, and now he was about to mobilize almost 80,000 troops in front of him, which made him a little puzzled.
"Just look at this letter." Wang Ben gave the information to Dun Weak.
His eyes, which were originally a little puzzled, suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of incredulity.
"Did the head man of the Huns have a brain disease? Unexpectedly, he bypassed Yunzhong and Jiuyuan to rob the party!? Suddenly exclaimed.
"Touman is smart, it is precisely because Shangdang has not been invaded by the Huns for many years, especially because there are these nine plains and clouds as its barriers, so we will not be wary of it, now is not the time to hesitate, let Lishi first mobilize 20,000 people to the north to support Fu Shi, and the rest of the normal march." Wang Ben said. Although he heard that the Qin court thought that this snow disaster would cause the Xiongnu to go south to plunder, the focus was on Beidi County. Therefore, Wang Ben felt that the matter of the Xiongnu going south was true, but it was not necessary to judge whether he chose to go to the party, and he could not let all the troops go north, let the 20,000 people from Lishi go north first, and let the rest of the army march slowly, in case this was Zhao Guo's transfer of the tiger from the mountain.
"No!" Said weakly.
"Send the letter to Xianyang and give it to the king." Wang Ben sealed the letter again and handed it to the guards.
"No!"
The matter of the Xiongnu going south was urgent, Wang Ben did not dare to hesitate at all, and no longer waited for the order of Xianyang, and directly asked Dun Qiao to take the army north, while he waited for Shangdang County to wait for Xianyang's reply.
At this time, outside Shangdang County, the Xiongnu army was gradually converging, and Touman sat in the king's tent, looking at the actions of a few people who were still missing below, and his face suddenly sank.
