Li Mu nodded, there was a slave uprising around the Xiongnu royal court, which was the same nonsense as the rebellion launched by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms inside Xianyang City.

"Do you know how many soldiers are capable of fighting?" Li Mu asked.

"There are probably less than 200,000 troops, but according to the actual attacking Hun soldiers, it should be less than 150,000." Li Xin marked the large camp of Maudun and the route of their attack on the map.

Seeing the Xiongnu attack route marked by Li Xin, Li Mu nodded and said

"These routes are indeed the most popular routes for the Xiongnu to attack, how about the damage to the city wall caused by ground movements?"

"Five or six out of ten were damaged, but fortunately, the Wuling Iron Cavalry was practicing outside, and there was no loss when the ground moved, so it was able to support various places in time." Li Xin said.

Li Mu nodded and then began to think of a strategy to retreat from the enemy, this time they not only had to retreat from the enemy, but also to break into the grassland, so that Weizhuang could completely control the Xiongnu. Just when Li Mu was still thinking, Sima Shang hurriedly ran in with a letter in his hand.

"Wu Anjun, this is sent by the Huns." Sima Shang handed the letter to Li Mu.

"Sent by Wei Zhuang?" Li Mu opened it and asked.

"No, Wei Zhuang. He is the condor archer of the Tuba tribe. Sima Shang said.

"Tubaan? He sent someone? Li Mu said in surprise.

"That's right, you better read what is written first." Sima Shang scratched his head and said.

Seeing that Sima Shang's face was at a loss, Li Mu opened the envelope curiously and looked at it, and after seeing the contents inside, Li Mu's face also became surprised.

Li Xin leaned over curiously, and his face was full of surprise after seeing the contents of the envelope, because there were two things in this letter, one was the defense map of the Maodun camp, and the other was Sima Shang's letter to Li Mu.

"This Tubaan is the leader of the Tuba tribe, the third largest tribe of the Huns, right? There should be no one in the Xiongnu who has the same name as him, right? Li Xin scratched his head and said.

"This letter was personally sent by the Condor Archers of the Tuba tribe, and you can rest assured that it was indeed written by Tubaan." Sima Shang said.

The condor archer is not only a representative of strength in the grassland, but also a symbol of the strength of a tribal leader. When Zhao was still there, Li Mu had collected information about the entire grassland condor archers and golden sword warriors, and Sima Shang assured that he was not mistaken.

"What about others?" Li Mu asked.

"It's still outside the Yanmen, he's an eagle archer after all, I don't dare to let him in." Sima Shang said.

The horror of the Condor Archer, Sima Shang knew very well that if he was allowed to enter the Yanmen Pass, the entire high-level generals of the Qin Army would not be able to go out again, and once he went out, he would definitely be killed by hiding in the dark with one blow.

"Well, let him in, I have something to ask him." Li Mu said.

"No!" Sima Shang arched his hand and said.

After Sima Shang left to pick up the Condor Archers of the Tuba tribe, the more Li Xin looked at the letter and thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

"Will there be fraud in it? I really can't imagine why Tubaan surrendered? Surrendered before the battle, and betrayed Maudun, this is not the style of the steppe people. And Tubaan is still the third largest tribe in the grasslands, can he give up his wealth? Li Xin asked puzzled.

Since the Right Xianwang Department and the Left Xianwang Department were destroyed one after another, the power ranking within the Xiongnu has become the Xiongnu Royal Court, the Ram Order, and then the Tuba tribe of Tubaan. Tubaan is also a subordinate of the Ram Order, the number two person in the old Hun school. Now that the ram is in poor health, it can be said that Tubaan is the number two person of the Xiongnu, and if he is bolder, as long as Tubaan unites the old nobles, he is the uncrowned king, the real ruler of the Xiongnu.

Li Mu thought of the information he had seen about the Xiongnu before he left Xianyang.

"The Huns have been corrupted." Li Mu said.

"I've also heard of this, and a considerable part of the nobles within the Xiongnu now began to learn our culture, wear our clothes, and salute according to our etiquette. But those people were nothing more than incompetent aristocrats, and it was hard to believe that people like Tubaan, who had grown their tribe by conquest, had also been corrupted. Li Xin said.

"This is the terrible thing about culture, it can quietly tear out the backbone of a people, so that their hearts are bloodless, like a pitiful dog begging his master to let him into a warm house in a snowy weather." Li Mu said with emotion.

Li Mu was extremely shocked by the ram Ling and Ziyou's method of destroying the Xiongnu from the root, such a method was something Li Mu had never thought of. It took a single soldier to destroy a powerful race and make them willing to become slaves.

"Either it's still a book and a ruthless person." Fear rose in Lee's confidence, and he shuddered at the tactics of this cultural invasion.

"Unwittingly conquering a race, terrible. As for whether Tuban really wants to join us, we need to discern again. You send scouts to follow this map to investigate. Li Mu said.

"Okay."

After Li Xin left, Sima Shang came to Li Mu with the Condor Archers of the Tuba tribe, who were wearing Central Plains costumes, robes, belts, jade pendants, and even the bows and arrows that were as important as their own lives were engraved with the characters of the Central Plains, rather than their own symbols.

After seeing Li Mu, the condor archers of the Tuba tribe saluted Li Mu with the etiquette of the Central Plains and said

"Meet Wu Anjun, I am the condor archer of the Tuba tribe, Tuba Secret."

Looking at Tubami's etiquette, which was more standard than his own, Li Mu was still a little surprised although he had already made some preparations in his heart.

"Your leader, does Tubaan really want to surrender?" Li Mu asked.

"Wu Anjun, please don't doubt the loyalty of our Tuba Danyu. The Qin State is the most sacred and beautiful place in our hearts, even our Immortal Heaven cannot live in such a paradise, we are naturally willing to take refuge in the Qin State. Mao Dun is nothing but an uncivilized barbarian, he angered Daqin, and it was he who wanted to die. Our Tuba tribe has long wanted to become a part of the Qin State in our hearts, but we have never had the opportunity, and now that the opportunity is in front of us, we will naturally seize it. Tubami's eyes were full of fanaticism when he said about the Qin State.

Seeing Tuba Mi like this, Li Mu suppressed the shock in his heart, and at the same time determined that the Tuba tribe really wanted to surrender. Sima Shang looked at Tuba Mi in shock, if it wasn't for the occasion, Sima Shang wanted to slap himself, he wanted to make sure if he was in a dream, he heard from a Hun eagle archer that the other party described his big single as an uncivilized barbarian, and put the Qin State on the immortal sky.

"Go back and tell Tubaan that I have received his loyalty, but whether he can become a subject of the Qin State, like He Yangli and Abatu, will hold important positions in my Qin State, it depends on what he does." Li Mu said.

"Wu Anjun, please say that we are willing to give everything to join the Qin State." Tubami said.

"In two days, I will go out of the city to fight Maudun, and I need you to turn against Maudun's army at a critical moment." Li Mu said.

"Rest assured, this is what we should do." Tubami said.

Looking at Tubami, Li Mu thought for a while and asked

"Are there other tribes within the Xiongnu who think the Qin State is very beautiful?"

Of course, in addition to some uncivilized old nobles, many of the younger generation of the Xiongnu yearn for the Qin State. Especially after seeing that the former Youxian Wangbu and now Heyangli and Abatu no longer have to worry about war, disease and natural disasters, more of us have begun to worship the Qin State. People like Heyangli and Abatu can live such a good life, and we will definitely not be far behind! Tuba said with a secret oath.

Sima Shang has been shocked by Tubami's words beyond words, it is an indisputable fact that the living environment in the Central Plains is better than the grassland, but there is no such thing as Tubami said, although the current Qin State is indeed better than the previous life, but it is not called heaven.

"Well, there you go." Li Mu was also stunned by Tubami's words, and now Tubami can no longer be said to be a well-behaved dog, but licking a dog.

"No!" Tuba bowed and left.

Sima Shang left with Tubami. Li Xin sat on the seat and drank the tea on the side, if someone had good eyes, he could clearly see that Li Mu's hand serving tea began to tremble slightly.

"After this battle, the people at the border finally don't have to worry about the threat from the grassland." Li Mu said with excitement in his tone.

It is Li Mu's lifelong wish to pacify the Xiongnu and let the people of Daijun and Yunzhong County no longer be harmed by the Xiongnu and the Hu people, before he won peace for the border pass by force, but that was only temporary, but now Li Mu sees the hope of permanent peace. As long as the Qin State continues to increase the cultural export of the grassland and completely assimilate the grassland tribes, there will be no foreign threat from the border passes in the future.

After returning to the camp of the Tuba tribe, Tubami told Tubaan of Li Mu's request. After learning that Li Mu had agreed to accept their loyalty, Tubaan was immediately overjoyed, and felt that this was a normal request for Li Mu's request.

Li Mu's side waited until Li Xin confirmed that the defense map was correct, and then decided to attack the enemy at night.

"How did Touman let the Xiongnu decay in the first place, and today we will use the same method to let the Xiongnu perish in the hands of Mao Dun." Li Mu said.

"If we attack the camp of Maudun at night, will Maudun still dare to fight us in a decisive battle two days later?" Li Xin asked.

"If we don't attack the Maudun camp at night, Maudun will never fight us, but if we attack, he will." Li Mu said with an oath.

Li Xin didn't understand it, but Li Mu was still the boss and the strongest soldier today, so Li Xin chose to believe it.

Li Xin immediately selected the elite and Yue cavalry in the Wuling Iron Cavalry, left Yanmen Pass with them lightly, and easily solved all the Hun scouts according to the defense map given by Tubaan, and approached the Hun camp.

After making sure that the people in the Xiongnu camp were asleep, Li Xin attacked the Xiongnu camp with the elite and Yue cavalry in the Wuling iron cavalry, and the cavalry of 5,000 people directly chiseled through the Xiongnu camp, and Mao Dun's royal flag was also snatched by Li Xin.

After the night attack on the Xiongnu camp, the time came to the third day, Li Mu left Yanmen Pass with an army of 200,000 mighty, and Mao Dun also led the army to meet the battle after learning the news.

Li Xin looked at the Hun camp that really came out to meet the battle, and his face was full of doubts.

"Tuban wrote to me about Maudun's army, which seemed to have 200,000 troops, but not all of them listened to Maudun except for Tubaan's 30,000. The chaos within the Xiongnu was worse than we thought. Maudun needs a war with Qin to establish his prestige, and the worst outcome for Maudun is to hold us back and keep all the army out, so that he can claim that he has successfully plundered Daijun and defeated Qin, so as to establish his prestige and overwhelm Wei Zhuang and Mr. Ram Ling.

But we attacked the Hun camp at night, which broke the idea that Mao Dun wanted to leave unharmed, he could only fight with us, and only after this battle could he stabilize the people and neutrals on his side, as long as he did not lose completely, he would have a chance to make a comeback, but if he did not fight, he would never turn over. Li Mu explained.

Hearing Li Mu's words, Li Xin only felt that Li Mu's title of Wu Anjun and the first person in the military family was really not wrong.

"I'm a soldier, and I don't know what military tactics are." Li Xin said with his head held high.

Looking at the confident Li Xin, Li Mu shook his head helplessly, Li Xin is his nephew, what can he do?

Mao Dun in the Xiongnu army looked at the surging Qin army opposite, and he had no confidence in this battle, but he could only fight Li Mu hard.

"Attack!" Maudun let the commanders blow the horn of the attack.

In the face of the powerful Qin army, Mao Dun knew that his advantage was that there were many cavalry, as long as he charged, there was still a way to defeat the Qin army, although the probability was very small, but he still had to try.

Looking at the charging Hun cavalry, Li Mu shook his head helplessly.

"It's not a long lesson." Li Mu raised his hand after speaking.

When the commander on the side saw it, he immediately turned over and rode towards Qin Ruishi in the front, Qin Ruishi immediately lay down and supported the strong bow with his feet, and the soldiers in the rear immediately went towards the Ruishi camp and handed over five feathered arrows to Ruishi alone.

"Wind! Wind! Wind! ”

"Wind!"

The Qin soldier raised the weapon in his hand and shouted loudly, and the commander in front saw that after the Hun cavalry entered the attack range, he waved the Xuanniao Flag in his hand and ran in front of the Ruishi camp, and in an instant, countless black feathered arrows shot towards the sky.

The charging Hun cavalry looked at the rain of arrows falling in the sky, and the fear in their hearts was suddenly awakened, and some people in the army who were originally charging suddenly became chaotic because of fear.
