The faster the "Huns" in front escaped, the more excited the leaders of the Kushan tribe in the back became, looking at Han Xin's team, it was like seeing a group of lambs to the slaughter.

In my heart, I am full of credit for the upcoming work.

Where can I think about it.

In the night, I didn't notice that the team in front of me had silently lost a large chunk.

So, just when they were chasing in full swing, when they were about to catch up with the enemy's tail, a rapid rain of arrows suddenly fell on both sides of their heads, and the "Huns" who were fleeing in confusion in front also turned around, and what was a rapid rain of arrows was split in the face.

The sudden blow suddenly woke up the sweet dream of this group of Kushan tribe leaders.

No matter how stupid they are, they understand that they have fallen into the ambush of others.

"Withdraw, withdraw—"

However, they met Han Xin and Meng Zhan, two rising stars in the Great Qin army, where would they be left with a chance to regret it.

The canyon here is already rugged and difficult to navigate, and this section chosen by Han Xin just chokes the throat of the canyon, and beyond that, there is a steep cliff.

In the darkness of the night, he fled in a hurry.

In a panic, the Guishan people trampled on each other, were trampled to death and trampled on the injuries, and shot down countless cliffs, however, when they finally escaped from Han Xin's pursuit in embarrassment, they found that a well-equipped Qin army had blocked their way.

Splitting the head and covering the face, it was another rain of arrows.

This group was sent by Zuoxian Wang Yudun to guard the Guishan tribe in the Heli Mountain Gorge, almost all of them were killed and wounded, and together with the leaders of the Guishan tribe who came, only two were killed, and one of them also had arrow wounds.

Fell to his knees in misery.

"General, spare your life, the villain is willing to surrender ......"

……

Of course, Zuo Xian Wang Yudun naturally wouldn't have thought that Han Xin and the others really knew about this rather hidden canyon, and he asked the people of the Guishan tribe to come here to guard it, originally just in case.

Of course, he couldn't have imagined that these people from the Kushan tribe would be so stupid and be directly taken to the nest.

At this time, he inspected all parts of the city overnight, preparing to rely on the Black River to build the Heavenly City into an insurmountable natural danger. He believed that as long as he could hold out for ten days and a half months, no, not even ten days and a half months, maybe only four or five days, the Huns should wake up.

As long as the old fox is not old and confused, he will definitely know what to do. The Hexi Corridor is in the hands of the Yue people, and it is in the hands of the Great Qin people, and he should know the stakes here!

In the night, Zuo Xianwang looked at the faintly sparkling black river, and an unprecedented battle intent rose in his eyes.

In the king's tent, there are flies, dogs, and rice bags with razor-eyed eyes.

But as long as I, Zuo Xian Wang Yudun, am here, the enemy will not want to step across the Heihe River for half a step!

Not long ago, he had already received the news of the preparations on the side of the weak water and Heli Mountain, and all of them were lost, and several small tribes responsible for guarding the Heli Mountain and the weak water were almost wiped out, and the enemy had been pressing towards the Heishui River overnight.

After confirming the news, he was inexplicably relieved in his heart.

Sure enough, as I expected.

So, then, it's time for yourself.

He wanted to meet for a while, the enemy who dared to set up a suspicious array in the fierce battle with the Huns, gave up the huge results that had already been obtained, withdrew, traveled thousands of miles, crossed the desert, and took advantage of the situation to break into the heart of the Yue's people.

Although he is an enemy, he still admires this courage and strength.

The cavalry of the reconnaissance did not want to throw out money, on the one hand, to inform some idle tribes on the other side of the Heihe River to evacuate quickly, and on the other hand, to understand the movements of the enemy army.

But Zhao Ying's team came too fast.

Along the way, there is no way to conquer everything.

Those idle small tribes, under the iron cavalry of the Qin army, rushed away, and there was almost no resistance at all. Soon, Zhao Ying and Wang Li led everyone to the bank of the Heishui River.

and Zuoxian Wang Yudun, across the river.

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Wang Li's face was a little serious.

"General, the generals on the other side are not simple, the defense is very cleverly arranged, we seem to be in trouble-"

Zhao Ying nodded.

Since you can't kill it by surprise, you can only think of another way.

"Take my orders, rest on the spot, slaughter cattle and sheep, and eat a good meal-"

When entering the Hexi Corridor, although they threw away their baggage, several small tribes along the way still provided them with sufficient supplies along the way.

Not to mention anything else, but the easy-to-carry food of cattle and horse tents was enough for the army.

Zhao Ying gave an order, and the army immediately performed its duties, each in its place, and operated in an orderly manner. Soon tents were erected, torches were lit, and racks for roasting cattle and sheep were erected.

Swaggering to live their own nightlife.

The fragrance of roast beef and sheep soon wafted up, across the black river, to the nose of the Yue's warriors who were starving against the cold wind, and were tossed by Zuo Xian Wang Yu for most of the night......

Across the Black River, they could even see the golden, greasy delicacy on top of each other's campfires.

Boom –

Many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly.

I feel more and more that this long night is unbearable.

"King, do you want us to let our brothers take turns to eat some ......?"

A leader of the Kushan tribe who stayed in Heavenly City couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked tentatively. I don't know what kind of spices the enemy troops on the other side sprinkled, and the fragrance is like seventeen or eighteen small hooks, scratching and scratching in your heart.

I felt more and more hungry.

"Idiot—"

King Zuo Xian scolded with a dark face, but after glancing at the generals in the big tent, many people showed a look of intention on their faces, so they eased their faces.

"The enemy is clearly a strategy to lure the enemy, and wants us to relax our vigilance - at such a critical moment, everyone must cheer up and not give up at all......"

Speaking of which, an additional sentence is added.

"Tell the brothers below, bear with it a little longer, work hard, and wait until dawn, when the king's reinforcements arrive, everyone's reward will never be less......"

As a result, on both sides of the Black River, there was a more interesting scene.

The enemy who came to attack was roasting the bonfire, eating barbecue, laughing and laughing, and then went back to sleep happily, and the Yueshi people on the other side cheered up, watching people roast fires, watching people eat meat, and watching people go to sleep, and they didn't dare to act rashly......

Of course, Zhao Ying is not really as relaxed as he seems.

Not only were there enough personnel on duty, but except for the soldiers standing on the bright side, where the enemy could not see, everyone was undressed and unsaddled, and was ready to respond.

But even so, on such a cold night, it is already a beautiful thing in the world to be able to enjoy a delicious meal and have a tent to rest.

Across the Black River.

"Father, the enemy army has been fighting repeatedly, and it must be extremely tired at this time, so it is better for me to lead a team of men and horses, raid overnight, and take the other party ......by surprise."

Zuo Xian Wang Yu looked at his son who was about to move, and slowly shook his head.

"Do you think their general is a stupid person if the enemy army can destroy four parts of Pu, Jimo, Dang Khotan, and Tu in a row, and play the old fox of Touman?"

Looking at the youngest son who was a little unconvinced, and then at the leaders of the various tribes who looked faintly dissatisfied behind him, Yu Dian took the opportunity to explain patiently.

"Look at the other party's camp, although it was set up in a hurry, but it was orderly, and there was a hidden killing machine, and then you looked at their bonfire, obviously why it was set up in the back, but it was in our sight, this is clearly a plan to attack the heart, and at the same time want to paralyze us and let us relax our vigilance......"

Speaking of this, Zuo Xian Wang Yudun waved his hand vigorously.

"Therefore, the Qin people are treacherous, we must not fall for the enemy's tricks......"

Just when King Zuo Xian was waiting for a sneak attack by the enemy, Zhao Ying and Wang Li had already divided their shifts and took turns to rest.

Stay up late?

Non-existent, recruit camp things, the most common thing for everyone is an emergency assembly!

Today's recruit battalions can be in their positions in three minutes, ready for all battles. So, as long as you arrange to be on duty, everyone should do what they should do.

It's business as usual.

But that's just them, except for Zhang Liang.

Because, Zhao Ying arranged a task for Zhang Liang, that is, to clean up the battlefield and kill all the way from the weak water river, and there were four or five small tribes that broke through alone.

Zhao Ying was naturally unceremonious about the urgently needed materials such as cattle and sheep tents that were captured, and when he entered the Hexi Corridor, he had already broken the kettle and left behind the excess baggage.

What's more, when these people went to Daqin to fight the grass valley, they didn't see them politely with the people of Daqin.

Material is good, how to deal with these people, is the most difficult problem.

"Mr. Zhang, may I ask how to deal with these captives, do you want to ......?"

The one who came to ask him for instructions was the chief general of their group, Bai Bamboo Shoots.

He knew this person before, he was a hundred generals in the recruit camp, born in the Bai family of Meixian County, in his early twenties, and had a calm temperament, so when he set off from Shangjun, he was personally promoted by Zhao Ying to the five hundred masters.

Now he is in charge of the 1,000 Hun soldiers and 500 Qin elites left behind to assist him in cleaning up the battlefield, saying that it is assistance, but Zhang Liang knows that there may not be no surveillance.

Looking at the trace of fierceness flashing in the eyes of the white bamboo shoots, Zhang Liang smiled bitterly, looking at the prisoners who had been surrounded and controlled by the army under the firelight, their faces were cloudy.

Killed?

The suggestion of white bamboo shoots is actually the simplest, cruelest and most rational approach.

Pity for the enemy is cruelty and irresponsibility to one's own people, leaving behind a group of captives who can even climb on horseback, draw bows and shoot arrows, and fight for their lives.

That's not kindness, it's stupidity.

However, when he thought of the meaningful eyes of the emperor's eldest grandson and the arrangements made in the four tribes of Yanpu, Jimo, Dangtian and Tu, he subconsciously abandoned this idea.

Obviously, if you need to kill a prisoner, with that person's temperament, I am afraid that he will not leave himself, and a white bamboo shoot is enough to deal with it cleanly.

Let yourself stay, you should want a different answer.

But the problem is that this is not the same time as it was then.

The Hexi Corridor has not yet been opened, so is it possible that I will take these captives with them to cross the vast desert again? Don't say if you want to, just ask me if I can-

Even if these people don't rebel on the road, they can eat and drink......

Do you send it with a head?

"Mr. ......"

Seeing that Zhang Liang was silent, Bai Bamboo couldn't help but speak again.

Zhang Liang didn't reply, he urged the war horse, walked to the group of prisoners who had been controlled, pressed the long sword in his hand, and his voice was indifferent.

"Now, give me a reason to live......"

As he spoke, with a wave of his big hand, countless bows and crossbows were raised behind him, and under the firelight, the cold arrows flashed with a cold cold light.

"Our clan is willing to emulate these Hun warriors, follow the general, and ...... for the general's eagle dog"

Just at the stall where the crowd was in a panic, an old man with gray hair and a thin body struggled to stand up from the crowd, squeezed through the crowd, threw himself to the ground, and knelt down in front of Zhang Liang's horse.

Zhang Liang was noncommittal, looking down at the old man kneeling on the ground.

"How I Believe You ......"

When the old man heard this, he bowed twice again.

"The women and children of our clan are willing to entrust all their ...... to the general"

Zhang Liang nodded.

"Good ......"

Who wants to die without destroying the clan?

These tribes on the grassland, especially the small tribes, are attached to that one today and that tomorrow, and they have always advocated the supremacy of strength, where is there any loyalty at all.

Seeing that the Qiang people got rid of the fate of death, they didn't need to teach at this time, they pounced directly one by one, swearing and swearing.

"Immortal Heaven is above, and our clan is willing to follow the general-"

“……”

Soon, the old and weak women and children of several tribes, especially children, were all gathered in several tents. There was a fire all around, and it was full of the Great Qin elites who were waiting for it, and with just one action, this side would become a human purgatory.

These small tribes who surrendered all knew what this meant, but they all tacitly did not speak.

"Distribute food and drink, but do not go out without authorization, those who violate the order will be killed!"

Seeing that Zhang Liangken distributed food and drink to the clansmen who served as hostages, these small tribes who surrendered were a little relieved in their hearts, and they completely had a kind of happiness for the rest of their lives.

Zhang Liang turned around at this time, staring brightly at the young general in front of him who was named Five Hundred Lords, but in fact, there were more than two or five hundred Lords in his hands, and said in a deep voice.

"General Bai, can you believe me......"

"Please sir—"

Bai Bamboo Shoot's eyes were firm, and his voice was calm, perhaps because of the continuous battles and killings along the way, there was still a compelling murderous aura on his body.

"Wave the army to the west and take Jiayu Mountain!"

When Bai Zhu heard this, he suddenly perked up and bowed.

"The last general is willing to follow Mr. and be Mr.'s pawn!"

The Jiayu Mountain in Zhang Liang's mouth is where the famous Jiayuguan is located in later generations. It is the Hexi Corridor, the real throat leading to the Western Regions. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is precisely because of this that the Jiayu Pass, which was built in later generations, was called the first pass in the world by later generations, and became the important place of western border defense in the past dynasties.

Zhang Liang said today that he would move his army westward and take Jiayu Mountain directly, clearly to seize this dangerous land and open up the passage to the Western Regions for His Highness.

Once it happens, it's a groundbreaking achievement!

As for the fact that he only had 1,000 Hun cavalry and 500 elite Qin troops, he didn't think about it at all. Because, he believes in Zhang Liang's wisdom.

Over the past few days, Zhang Liang has fully proved his identity and talent as one of the two major strategists around His Highness with his performance.

"General, the old man and the guard general of Jiayu Mountain, Morton, have always had a relationship, and they are willing to take it for the general!"

Seeing that Zhang Liang was going to attack Jiayu Mountain, the old man of the Qiang tribe, whose lifeblood was pinched in his hands, took the initiative to ask for help.

Zhang Liang was overjoyed.

"If this trip can be successful, I can allow your clan to settle here for grazing, and enjoy the same treatment as the head of Great Qin and Qian—"

At dawn, it was dark.

Zhang Liang and Bai Zhu had already taken 800 Hun cavalry, 200 Great Qin elites, and the young men of several small tribes who had just surrendered, and marched westward and went straight to Jiayu Mountain.

Since you can't get rid of Zhao Ying's demonic drive, let's make a great contribution!

……

Just when Zhang Liang and Bai Zhu went straight to the Jiayu Pass, Han Xin and Meng Zhan had already cleaned up the battlefield, and with the Guishan leaders and hundreds of Guishan soldiers who surrendered to Cheng, they successfully bypassed Heishui and Tiancheng, and under their leadership, they went straight to the foot of Yanzhi Mountain.

Yanzhi Mountain belongs to the branch vein of Qilian Mountain, located in the peak waist area of the Hexi Corridor, about 34 kilometers long from east to west, and about 20 kilometers wide from north to south.

The terrain is dangerous, the different peaks protrude, there is the "sweet and cool throat" said, since ancient times, it is the place where soldiers must fight. The southern foot of Yanzhi Mountain is rich in water and grass, and it is a natural horse farm.

During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the hussar general Huo Quai, led 10,000 horsemen, went out of Longxi, crossed the Yanzhi Mountain and fought with the Xiongnu, beheaded more than 8,000 levels, and completely incorporated the Hexi Corridor into the territory of the Han Dynasty!

The purpose of Han Xin and Meng Zhan's trip was to seize this natural horse farm first and replenish their damaged mounts on Heli Mountain.

Then, by surprise, take this natural fortress under control.

Attract the attention of the enemy and be a mere cannon fodder?

Inexistent!

How can a husband stand in the world, how can he live under the people for a long time!

If you want to stand up, you will make a miracle and be famous all over the world!

At this time, Han Xin and Meng Zhan were beside the nobleman who surrendered to the Guishan tribe, behind them were hundreds of warriors who surrendered from the Guishan tribe, and behind them were the elite of Great Qin wearing the clothes of the Guishan tribe!

PS: I won't cut it, rest assured, it's almost high-quality.
