Chapter 167: Suspicion
Just when Tou Mandan was making a big fanfare, gathered the leaders of various tribes, mobilized more than 200,000 troops, piled on Goddadan, and waited for the surprise attack of Zhao Ying's army.
In the Hexi Corridor, the King of the Yue Clan was also closely watching the movements of Zhao Ying's army this time.
In recent years, with the rise of the Xiongnu, the relationship between the Yueshi and the Xiongnu has become more and more tense, and the war between the two is endless, and the Yueshi even has to give up the land with abundant water and grass and many rivers under the Wusheling Ridge and Lenglong Ridge, and return the main force to the Hexi Corridor, relying on the natural danger of the Hexi Corridor to resist the continuous expansion of the Huns.
Now, Daqin sent troops to deal with the Xiongnu, and the Yue clan was naturally happy and happy.
They all expect that Daqin can give the Xiongnu a cruel lesson like the last battle of Hetao, and it is best to fight half to death. It's not just because I hope the Xiongnu will be unlucky, but, unlike the Yueshi, who is also a nomadic people, even if the Daqin people defeat the Xiongnu, it is impossible to stay on the grassland.
But in this era, it is not easy to exchange information, and when the Yueshi side got the Qin army that swept away the four tribes of Pu, Jimo, Khotan and Tu, and had begun to move towards the Xiongnu King City, it was already five days after the Great Qin army set out to conquer the Xiongnu King City.
But this did not prevent the Yueshi from looking up and down at the jokes of the Huns.
The enemy is unlucky, what a happy thing, watching the Qin army calamity to the Huns, the Yue clan even can't wait to offer Zhao Ying's army as an ancestor.
"Beautiful! It's really blessed by Immortal God, the head man is a dog thief who is greedy and shameless, insidious and cunning, I can't imagine that there is today-"
The king of the Yue clan couldn't help laughing, those Huns were dizzy, and they had just been robbed of the Hetao by the Qin army a few years ago, so they went to provoke Daqin again, and the runway Daqin hit the grass valley, purely to remember to eat or not to fight.
He picked up the wine bottle on the table, raised his glass to the leaders of the various tribes below, and drank it all.
"Today, you should congratulate the head man - come and drink this cup, and you will not return if you are not drunk-"
In the Yue Clan's king's tent, there was a loud laugh.
Many people have even begun to look forward to the scene of picking up cheap bargains in the back after Daqin leaves.
"Great King, the Qin people have a saying, called the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, once Touman is defeated in the hands of the Qin people, according to the greedy nature of the first emperor of Great Qin, he may not be able to attack our Yue clan......"
Just when everyone was laughing and the atmosphere was warm, an old man with gray hair stroked his chest and bowed deeply to the king of the Yue clan.
The king of the Yue clan frowned slightly, and put down the wine bottle in his hand.
"King Zuo Xian doesn't need to worry, my Yueshi is different from the Xiongnu, there is a natural danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Qin people have just fought with the Xiongnu, and they will come to attack my Yueshi if they lose their hearts and go crazy——"
After saying that, he laughed.
"Besides, the Qin people are alone in the depths, logistics supply alone is a big problem, Touman's old thing, insidious and cunning, treacherous and slippery like the wolf king on the grassland, how can he be so easy to suffer?"
Speaking of this, he glanced at the Zuo Xian King, who had always been known for his caution, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Even if you take 10,000 steps back, Touman is really not the opponent of the Qin people, and he can't escape? You must know that this vast grassland, but the world of our immortal descendants-no matter how good the weapons of the Qin people are, I am afraid they can only follow behind the ass and eat ashes......"
The words of the Yue Clan King made a burst of cheerful laughter resound in the big tent, and some people shouted with laughter on the side.
"King Zuoxian, don't you have any collusion with that head of Man, otherwise how can you talk to head Man Lao'er today-"
When Zuo Xianwang heard this, his color changed, he trembled, threw down his wine glass angrily, and pointed at a middle-aged man who spoke.
"Idiot! If you don't listen to the old man's advice today, I'm afraid that remorse is just around the corner! ”
After speaking, he shook his sleeves without looking back.
The shaft is not enough and conspiracy!
When he returned to his tent, the look on his face gradually calmed down, frowned, paced back and forth for a long time, and suddenly made up his mind.
"Pass my order, the areas of Heli Mountain, Gaolan Mountain and Longshou Mountain should strengthen their defenses and strictly prevent the Qin people from raiding ......"
The order went down.
King Zuo Xian, who was sitting in his own house, was still faintly uneasy.
But that's all he can do, the King of the Yue Clan is clearly suspicious of him just now, if he dares to make any other superfluous moves, I'm afraid that what awaits him is the King of the Yue Clan's personal accountability.
"I hope I've thought too much, and I shouldn't-"
Although in the past few months, spies sent by Daqin's side will be found from time to time, but what the King of the Yue Clan said just now is not unreasonable, how can Daqin launch a war against the Yue Clan at this time, is he really not afraid of fighting on two fronts?
……
Just when Tou Manshan was suspicious and nervous, the king of the Yue clan and others were waiting to see the jokes of the Huns, and the king of the Yue clan Zuo Xian was worried alone, Xianyang City ushered in an unprecedented carnival.
The north gate of Xianyang City.
A few captains who were obviously dusty and tired, but their faces could not hide their excitement, galloped towards the city gate.
"Great victory, Mobei Victory-The champion general broke the Three Kingdoms in one night, destroyed the three divisions of Yunpu, Jimo, and Dang Khotan, and captured the enemy chieftain alive——"
The sound of hurried horses' hooves, along with the hoarse report of the captain who reported the victory, instantly ignited the entire Xianyang!
Break the Three Kingdoms overnight and capture the enemy chieftain alive!
This result is simply earth-shattering and unheard of!
Countless people who received Zhao Ying's favor rushed to tell each other, and the first emperor who got the news couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"The grandson of the emperor, the three armies of the brave crown!"
The old general Wang Jian couldn't help but smile.
"Strong—when you float a big white!"
Immediately, order the back kitchen to put wine. Before he could start drinking, he heard a burst of laughter outside.
"Old man Wang, hurry up and drink, the old man will not get drunk with you today!"
Before the words fell, I saw Meng Wu, whose beard was white, swaggering in from the outside with a step that he didn't recognize.
"Hahaha - my grandson, sent troops to the Huns, broke the Three Kingdoms overnight, magnificent! Old horseman, you may be able to ......"
Wang Jian: ......
"My grandson is too!"
Meng Wu didn't need Wang Jian to greet him, he pulled a stool casually and sat down opposite Wang Jian with a golden knife.
"Ha, all five of my grandchildren are here!"
Wang Jian: ......
He suddenly felt that his son was also very bad, so he gave himself a few more grandchildren, and Meng Wu, an old man, had the opportunity to show off in front of him!
When the news was transmitted to the eldest son's mansion, Mi Ji, who had been worried about her son, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"My husband, Megatron Grassland, broke the Three Kingdoms overnight!"
As a wife, Wang Nan is honored!
Without waiting for her and Ji Ji to make more inquiries, the first emperor's will to encourage the reward arrived at the house.
Gifts of bounty were piled up in the courtyard.
The eldest prince's mansion fell into a carnival.
Only Miss Li Shu, who was forcibly left behind by Zhao Ying to guard the mansion, had a black face, and her whole body was covered with the cold air that no one should enter.
"Damn, hateful, hateful—"
It's a pity that everyone is partying, and no one pays attention to the face of this girl who is usually cold.
Tai Weiyu, who got the news, looked at his granddaughter who returned home and was still busy studying the geographical data of various places, and sighed silently.
"It's a pity, it's a pity—"
……
But today is destined to be a day of revelry, the first wave of victorious lieutenants has just passed, and the second wave of victorious lieutenants is galloping again.
"Great victory, champion general Ying, slaughter each again, and capture the enemy chieftain alive! In one day, the four countries were broken in a row—"
Xianyang is boiling again!
Since the first emperor came to the throne, Great Qin has never lacked good news, whether it is the breakthrough of the Six Kingdoms, or a few years ago, the general Meng Tian tried his best to take the Hetao, which is enough to be proud.
But how have you ever heard that someone can travel thousands of miles in one day, conquer four countries in a row, and capture such an appalling result as the enemy chieftain!
Great, the eldest grandson of the emperor!
This battle, like a shot in the arm, made Daqin boil, with the spread of the news, not only the land of Guanzhong, even the people of the land of Yanzhao, all of them were excited.
Many people have speculated whether His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun can completely cleanse the grassland and solve the hidden dangers of the frontier this time.
After sending off all the guests who came to congratulate him, after Wang Nan returned to his small courtyard, the smile on his face gradually retracted, revealing a trace of imperceptible worry.
"May I ask Mr. Xu, my husband and brother, this trip is risky......"
The small courtyard where Xu Cheng lives.
Wang Nan sat down and saluted respectfully.
Xu Cheng put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at the hostess in front of him playfully, and respectfully replied.
"Between the eyebrows of the lady, the purple gas lingers, and the noble air is about to overflow, and the little woman does not dare to accept the gift of the lady......"
Asked again, Xu Cheng was already silent.
Wang Nan was confused.
But seeing that Xu Zhi'an was so peaceful, he had no intention of leaving, and he had already vaguely guessed in his heart that his husband and brother should have gone smoothly on this trip, and immediately let go of most of his worries.
The influence of Zhao Ying's one-day break of the Four Kingdoms is still gradually spreading at an alarming speed.
And the Hexi Corridor.
The Yue clan, who had been paying close attention to the movements of Zhao Ying's army, finally got the news that Zhao Ying's army had suddenly disappeared mysteriously!
At this time, it was already the eighth day since Zhao Ying's army disappeared from everyone's sight!
Zuo Xian Wang Yudun, who was recuperating at home, heard the news, and suddenly a spirit jumped on the spot.
"Not good!"
Pulled up the war horse and went straight to the Yue's royal tent.
The army of Great Qin attacking the Xiongnu royal city has disappeared, if you don't fight the Xiongnu, who else will you fight?
Obviously, this is coming for the Yueshi!
Although he couldn't understand how the commander of the army of Great Qin dared, it was no longer important, what mattered was how to deal with it!
It's been eight days......
King Zuo Xian's heart beat wildly.
I just hope it's still too late!
……
What King Zuo Xian didn't know was that just two days before he got the news, Wang Ben, who was in Shangjun, got the news, and then got the same judgment as him.
The cold sweat came down in an instant.
If the emperor's eldest grandson is really as he judged this time, it will be a proper military move, and once he enters the Hexi Corridor, it will basically be a situation where there is no advance or retreat!
The thought of this possibility made him feel a little dizzy.
He didn't know anything else, he only knew that if the emperor's eldest grandson Zhao Ying had an accident this time, Daqin's sky would collapse.
No one can face the wrath of the First Emperor.
"Send troops, send troops, send troops!"
Although Shangjun is located in the north, there are still Yunzhong County, Jiuyuan County, and there are also Beidi and Longxi counties to the west, but it still can't change the fact that he is a border county. When setting up the counties, the reason why the first emperor attached so much importance to the upper counties was precisely because the upper counties were the key points among the border counties bordering Zhuhu.
Unlike ordinary counties, in the face of the war in Zhuhu, the lord of the border county will have the right to make a decision on the spot. After all, if there is really a border trouble, wait for the order of the court to fight again, and the daylily will be cold.
Therefore, once the thoughts of Zhao Ying and others were determined, Wang Ben suddenly couldn't sit still, and immediately asked people to invite the prison army Fusu and County Shouyan, and the three of them quickly reached a consensus.
That is to do everything in their power to cover for Zhao Ying and others.
Bypassing Longxi and attacking the Yue Clan is definitely not in a hurry, but they can try their best to contain the gaze of the Yue Clan.
Immediately send troops to the Huns!
At the same time, eight hundred miles were urgent, conveying his guesses to the imperial court. Although it was just a guess, he didn't dare to delay.
Under the impetus of him and Fusu, soon Jiuyuan and Yunzhong also made an attack posture.
Touman, who got the news, blew up his scalp.
What's the situation, Da Qin is not crazy this time!
It's just some small tribes, and if they go to fight the grass valley a few times, they will fight with me?
At this time, he couldn't wait to kill the Yunpu tribe who organized the tribe to go to Daqin to fight the grass valley in place.
But Yun Pu is gone, and he must be ready for the wrath of Great Qin.
Gan!
Tou Manshan Yu, the heart is broken.
But what else can be done, as a Xiongnu Shan Yu, you can't learn from those small tribes and flee without a fight.
One after another, edicts were issued from the Xiongnu king's tent, and more and more tribal warriors were summoned by him to the vicinity of the royal city.
Embattled!
……
"The tens of thousands of troops of Great Qin can't disappear in place. Your Majesty, if the Qin army does not attack Touman King City, who can he attack now......"
In the Yue Clan's tent, King Zuo Xian's face was serious.
"Please give an order from the king immediately to mobilize the warriors of the clan to support the defense of the areas around Heli Mountain, Gaolan Mountain and Longshou Mountain, especially near the weak water river......"
When the king of the Yue clan heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and the tribal leaders in the big tent who had ridiculed Zuoxian Wang Yudun a few days ago also stopped talking.
Everybody is not stupid.
On the grassland, what makes Great Qin regard it as a great disaster is nothing more than two, one is the Xiongnu, and the other is the Yueshi!
Zuo Xianwang's guess is very likely to be true.
Just at the stall where the atmosphere was stagnant inside the big tent, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the big tent.
"Report - Qiyu Wang, the general of Daqin, Wang Ben, led an army of 100,000 people, detoured through the clouds, and went straight to the grassland, suspected of preparing to attack the Xiongnu royal city and fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu. Jiuyuan County and Yunzhong County also showed signs of a large army transfer......"
After hearing this news, the King of the Yue Clan couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
That's good, I was almost scared by this idiot just now!
Daqin's posture of wanting to fight a decisive battle with Touman, how could the Great Qin general, who swept the four divisions of Yanpu, Jimo, Dang Khotan and Tu, come to trouble for himself.
After hearing the news, Zuo Xian Wang Yudun was also a little confused.
He subconsciously felt as if something was wrong, frowned, pondered for a long time, and then said in a solemn voice.
"Your Majesty, the Qin people have always been cunning, do you think this is a suspicious tactic of the Qin people—the purpose is to cover up the deeds of the tens of thousands of troops before?"
As soon as Zuo Xian Wang Yu said this, the Yue Clan King couldn't help but hesitate.
However, before the king of the Yue clan could speak, the right sage Wang Chunyu on the side had already taken the lead in opening his mouth.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, the two armies have clashed, how have you ever seen the land of three counties, where hundreds of thousands of troops cover for tens of thousands of people? King Zuo Xian was probably frightened by the Qin people, so it was a little too much of a fuss......"
As soon as Youxian Wang Chun said this, he was immediately echoed by many people.
After all, if you want to mobilize men and horses to support the defense line around Heli Mountain, Gaolan Mountain, and Longshou Mountain, you have to mobilize the warriors of their tribe and consume the materials of their tribe.
Standing and talking does not hurt your back.
Support is so good to support?
Soon the big tent fell into a quarrel between you and me. In the end, it was the king of the Yue clan who made the final decision.
"Pass the order, according to King Zuoxian's suggestion, let the tribes stationed in the area of Heli Mountain, Gaolan Mountain and Longshou Mountain strengthen their vigilance, and if there is any abnormality, immediately light a beacon fire to warn!"
Zuo Xianwang: ......
He glanced around, and the clan leaders in the big tent saw that the clan leaders who had been following him in the past also dodged their eyes and did not dare to look at him, and they were suddenly a little disheartened.
He sighed.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the warriors of my clan to rush to the weak water and personally sit in the ......"
The Moon King smiled and nodded.
"Good, King Zuo Xian deserves to be my right-hand man!"
If you praise it, you don't have to pay for it, as for the rest, you won't mention it, and now among the Yue clan, the Zuo Xianwang clan is the strongest and the most powerful. King Zuo Xian volunteered to go to the front line, and he was naturally happy to see it happen.
King Zuo Xian did not hesitate, and immediately left the king's tent and returned to the clan.
Order, mobilize the young and strong in the clan, and immediately rush to the weak water!
Hurry, hurry, hurry-
King Zuoxian's face sank like water, and he had a hunch that the ruthless man of Daqin, who swept away the four tribes of Yanpu, Jimo, Dang Khotan, and Tu in one day, was very likely to target the Yue Clan!
Because of dealing with the Xiongnu, Great Qin is almost unprofitable, and the current territory of the Yue Clan is really a treasure land coveted by Great Qin.
King Zuo Xian left, and King Yue's people felt a little unsteady in their hearts.
Daqin's ruthless people won't really come to attack the Yue Clan, right?
After all, King Zuo Xian has always been extremely wise......
But this worry was quickly attracted by another sudden question, and he couldn't take care of the judgment of the king of Zuo Xiang anymore!
PS: I'll explain a little bit about the pigeon plus more. Because the author is only a shallow scholar and has never been to the Hexi Corridor, he has a large historical understanding of the topography there, as well as the distribution of the Yueshi and Xiongnu tribes at that time, and most of them are scaly claws.
During this time, I have been checking the information, but most of the information that can be seen on the Internet is vague and there is not much useful information. We can only compare and contrast in various complicated materials repeatedly, trying to pull out a route that is not necessarily in line with the facts, but is as reasonable as possible. (Actually, it may not be very reasonable, at this time, it seems that the Yueshi is a little stronger, let's watch it, anyway, it's the story...... )
Therefore, it is a bit difficult to write.
In addition, the author is part-time, and he is very busy at work on weekdays, so he has more than enough, and his strength is insufficient, and he has pigeons for a few days. However, although I am late, I will not be absent, I will break it down to zero, gradually make up for it, and add a thousand words today. (I spent the morning searching for information again, but the key is that I haven't found much information that can be used.) Books are hated less when they are used. Depressed. )
