Chapter 13 The Xiongnu send troops
?
After listening to Xiang Ye's words, Di Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, stared at Xiang Ye's eyes and said, "Do you really think that protecting the 'female' person is good for the 'female' person?" I'm telling you, no! I was rescued by you, if I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the Maoton pursuers, where could I still stand here and talk to you? Is it because I am a 'woman' that you want to deprive me of my right to repay my kindness? ”
Xiang Ye didn't expect that Di Yao, who was born as a 'female' of the Huns, would speak so sharply, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Before he could speak, Di Yu then said to him: "I, the Huns, still have a reason to go to the battlefield, not to mention 'Meng' Su Niangniang and Xiang Qing Niangniang, they are your wives, and other people's wives can only stay at home and wait anxiously when their husbands go to war, because if they go to the battlefield, they will bring more trouble to their husbands." 'Meng' Su Niangniang and Xiang Qing Niangniang are different, not only will they not cause you trouble, but they will also charge forward for you and add available generals to your account! ”
Xiang Ye frowned and said after listening to Di Yan's words, "You're done?" If you're done, it's time for me to speak! ”
Di Yan looked at Xiang Ye's eyes and nodded heavily. Xiang Ye's eyes were different from those of many people she had seen before, especially those of the Huns.
Although the Huns are fierce, their minds are very pure, they don't have too many ideas except for fighting and living, but Xiang Ye is different, Di Yu couldn't see what he was thinking when he looked at Xiang Ye's eyes. In Xiang Ye's eyes, in addition to being profound, they are still profound.
"War is fair to each of us, and from the beginning of the war, we must be prepared to die one day!" Xiang Ye wrinkled his brows and looked at Di Yan's pretty face with a 'confused' expression and said: "Although my generals have led their troops to the border, no one can say whether the Huns will bypass them and attack our capital directly, if they attack the capital directly, in addition to the Niangzi army, there are only 30,000 Yulin troops who can guard here." These forces are completely insufficient, and when the time comes, I will need the Lady Army to go to the battlefield, and each of you will have a chance to fight the enemy. ”
Speaking of this, Xiang Ye paused, and then said to Di Yao: "I just don't know one thing yet, that is, when you face your fellow clan, do you still have the determination to raise your sword?" ”
Di Yan lowered his head, and after a long while, he raised his head again and said to Xiang Ye: "They want to kill me, even if they are of the same clan, as long as they want to kill me, I can only kill them first!" ”
Xiang Ye nodded with satisfaction, didn't talk to Di Yan again, turned to 'Meng' Su and said, "I originally wanted to go to you and Xiang Qing, since you are here, you can help me handle this matter." Tomorrow I will hold a ceremony to change the country name, and you and Xiang Qing will have to attend at that time. After the ceremony, you immediately let the women's army prepare for war, if the Huns break through Li Xinpeng's defense line, the defense of Jiuyuan City will be 'handed over' to you and Jing Ao's Yulin army. ”
After giving 'Meng' Su the task, Xiang Ye said to Di Zhen again: "If you have confidence in collecting your subordinates who are loyal to you, I am willing to go with you, if we can divide the power of Mao Dun from within, our chances of victory will be greater!" ”
Di Yan lowered his head and didn't answer Xiang Ye for a long time. At present, she will face a very important choice, whether to help Xiang Ye fight against Mao Dun, or to remain neutral, and watch the Xiongnu fight against Jiuyuan.
If she helps Xiang Ye, if she really defeats the Xiongnu in the future, she may bring about annihilation by the Huns' people; But if she remained neutral or sided with the Xiongnu, if Xiang Ye lost the war, she would probably be killed by Mao Dun.
After a long time, Di Yu raised his head and said to Xiang Ye: "I will help you, but you have to promise me one condition." ”
"Say!" Hearing Di Yan say that he was willing to help the Jiuyuan Kingdom, Xiang Ye had a little more confidence in defeating the Xiongnu, and hurriedly said: "As long as it does not endanger the safety of our Jiuyuan Kingdom, and does not allow the Xiongnu army to invade the Central Plains on a large scale, other conditions can be considered!" ”
"Don't slaughter the Huns!" Di Yan looked into Xiang Ye's eyes and said word by word: "I don't allow your army to slaughter any Huns who are powerless to resist, can you do it?" ”
Xiang Ye smiled and said to Di Yan: "My army is for fighting, not for slaughter. I promise you, as long as the Huns don't slaughter our civilians, I won't let the army slaughter them, do you think that's okay? ”
Di Yu nodded and said: "Okay, then do it, I will immediately let people go to convey my order, as long as the Xiongnu start a war against the Jiuyuan Kingdom, my people will immediately raise things behind them, and then the army of the Jiuyuan Kingdom and the Xiongnu army that support me will be able to break through Maotun in one fell swoop!" ”
Xiang Ye did not raise any objections to Di Yao's proposal, if the Huns could catch fire in the backyard, it would indeed be excellent news for him.
A few days after Xiang Ye began to prepare for the war against the Xiongnu, the deputy envoy of the Xiongnu fled back to the royal court.
Mao Dun turned around the fleeing deputy envoy behind his back a few times before he wrinkled his brows and said, "I sent a total of more than 100 people, why are you the only one coming back?" What about the others? ”
The deputy envoy had a thick sackcloth wrapped around his head, and he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to lift his head, until he heard Mao Dun's question, he said tremblingly: "Back to Da Danyu, my Great Hun mission has a total of one hundred and twenty-six people, except for me coming back, the others were all beheaded by the King of Jiuyuan!" ”
"Kill them all?" Mao Dun's eyes narrowed, glared at the deputy envoy and said, "Then why weren't you killed?" If you're not dead, why don't you kill yourself? I also want to return to the Huns, and give me the 'shame' of the Huns! ”
The deputy envoy knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and said in a trembling voice: "The King of Jiuyuan asked me to bring two words to Da Shan Yu, so I came back alive." ”
"What words? Go ahead! Mao Dun turned around and sat down on the throne, glaring at the deputy envoy of the Huns kneeling in the big tent.
"The king of Jiuyuan said that land is the foundation of the country, and if the king asks him for land, he will never give it." The deputy envoy of the Huns nodded slightly, glanced at Mao Dun secretly, and then lowered his head and continued: "He also said that the king asked him for a 'female' person, which was a great insult to him, and there was a male dog in his palace who needed to be 'mated', and he wanted the king to send the Yan family and the old Yan family. ”
"Enough!" Before the Hun deputy envoy finished speaking, Mao Dun slapped the low table in front of him and said to the guards on both sides: "The words he should have brought back have been brought back, and now you can send him on the road." ”
The guards on both sides got the order, stepped forward and set up the deputy envoy of the Huns, and dragged them out of the tent.
The deputy envoy of the Huns knew that as long as he was dragged out, he would definitely die, and he struggled and shouted to Mao Dun: "Da Dan Yu, I went through nine deaths in order to bring the words back, and I was cut off two ears for this, and I have merit to the Great Huns, you can't kill me!" ”
Mao Dun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered: "Your ears have been cut off, what face do you still have to live in the world?" Keeping you just makes it easier for me to think of the shame that Xiang Ye left for me as a big Hun! You can go with confidence, your severed ear, I will use Xiang Ye's to make up for you sooner or later! ”
When the deputy envoy of the Huns heard Mao Dun say this, he immediately understood that he had no hope of surviving this time, and he drooped his head and was dragged out like a dead dog.
When the guards dragged out the deputy envoy who came back to deliver the message, Mao Dun said to everyone in the tent: "Xiang Ye dared to insult me, which just gave us a reason to send troops. A few days ago, Guan Mu had news that Di Yu was likely to be in Jiuyuan City, and if she didn't die, our Great Huns would not be stable. ”
The Hun leaders sitting in the tent put down the beef and sheep 'legs' and wine they were gnawing, and looked at Mao Dun in unison. Their favorite thing is fighting, and from Maudun's words, they smell war.
"Left and right Xian King, you are stationed in place this time, no matter what happens on the front line, don't go to fight against the Jiuyuan Army, you have to pay attention to the Aries King on the west side and the Fox Wolf King on the east side, they are loyal to Di Ba's forces, I am worried that my main army is fighting on the front line, and it will be attacked in the back!" Mao Dun first gave an order to the king of the left and right who was closest to him, and then said to the others: "This time, our army will be divided into two ways to 'advance' to the country of Jiuyuan, one is led by King Zuogu Li, from Guyang into Jiuyuan Kingdom, and the other route is led by King Liking of Right Valley, from Linhe to enter Jiuyuan Kingdom. In order to wash away the shame that Xiang Ye brought to my Great Huns, you only need to kill and loot along the way, as long as you can meet people, whether male or female, old or young, kill them all! ”
After arranging the two routes of the march, Mao Dun said to the left and right captains: "Left and right captains, you follow me from Wuliang Suhai into the Jiuyuan Kingdom and go straight to the Jiuyuan City!" The three armies are each divided into 100,000 troops, and they will meet outside the city of Jiuyuan, and they will definitely level the country of Jiuyuan! Capture Xiang Ye alive! ”
After everyone received the order, they left the big tent one after another, gathered troops and horses, and prepared to march to the Nine Plains Kingdom.
When the Xiongnu decided to march to Jiuyuan, a blue banner was erected on the wall of Jiuyuan, and a goshawk with wings spread and "wanted" to fly was embroidered on the banner.
Xiang Ye stood at the head of the city, looking at the empty wilderness outside the city, the expression on his face was very solemn.
In order to prevent the Xiongnu from besieging the city in the future and not leaving supply points for the Huns, Xiang Ye ordered all the civilians outside the city to be moved into the city, and the villages outside the city were bulldozed, leaving only a piece of yellow earth that could not be seen.
Xiang Ye knew very well that the war would bring heavy trauma to the young Great Xia Kingdom, but in terms of policy towards the Xiongnu, he had to choose war.
The greed of the alien race can never be satisfied, give them one, they will ask for two, and eventually they will think about annexing this country that has always satisfied them ** and never dared to resist. The only way to deal with these aliens is by force. Blood for blood, tooth for tooth! ~
