Chapter Ninety-Four: A Surprise for Them

Sha Lin Mu said indifferently: "Qin people? Do they dare to step out of the Great Wall? Don't worry! ”

Hedu also sneered.

"If there was no Great Wall, the Qin people would have been slaughtered by us long ago! Shan Yu is too cautious, right? ”

Seeing that he had been disrespectful to his father since he entered the big tent, Heda couldn't help it for a long time, looked at Hedu Ye coldly, and said, "What? The leader of Hedu is not satisfied with Shan Yu's order? ”

Hedu also slapped the table, got up and roared angrily: "How could I ever say that I was not convinced? It's you, a yellow-mouthed child, don't just like you, and then talk wildly. You don't have a voice among these five tribes! ”

Several people were taken aback, but they didn't expect Hedu to dare to scold his eldest son in front of Tou Manshan Yu, it seems that the rumors are true, and it is already known that he covets Shan Yu's position.

Unexpectedly, Tou Manshan Yu was not angry, and said lightly: "Heda, this is the big tent, and all the people here are tribal leaders, where is your qualification to speak, just stand aside and listen." ”

Hedu also heard Touman's words, and suddenly became vigilant. If you can sit in a single position, how can you not have some means, the more you don't show it, the more you have to be careful. He sat down without saying a word.

He Da answered, stood behind him and stopped talking, just staring at Hedu with his eyes.

Tou Manshan Yu continued: "The words of the leader of Hedu are not unreasonable. But be careful, let Huermu test the water first. ”

Huermu hurriedly returned to his tribe, and hurriedly called his henchman Huerda, and ordered him to prepare an army and attack Qilian Mountain tomorrow.

After listening to Hulmu's words, Hulda was a little worried.

"Chief, how could Toumanshan Yu be so kind and let us attack Qilian Mountain? I'm afraid there's a fraud in it? ”

Huermu sat on the stool and said coldly: "It's nothing more than asking us to explore the way for the Xiongnu, Dada has the Qin people to rely on, and we have to face more than Dada's 30,000 cavalry." ”

Hulda wondered, "Why did the chief agree?" Are we not a stepping stone to them? ”

Huermu glanced at him and sighed heavily.

"If I don't agree, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the wolf court today!"

Then his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "However, compared with our cavalry, the gap between the cavalry of the Qin people is as big as a grassland, and I guess they can only stick to those five post houses." We bypassed the post house, as long as Dada's cavalry was annihilated, the remaining Qin army was nothing more than sheep trapped in the fence, and there was nothing to fear. ”

Hulda nodded and exclaimed: "In this way, we can return to Qilian Mountain, and then we don't have to look at Tou Mandanyu's face anymore!" ”

Huermu sneered: "Yes, so we have to take advantage of the fact that Mandan Yu did not react and quickly capture Qilian Mountain." At that time, Heda's cavalry was waiting at the western foot of Yinshan Mountain, and when the wood was already completed, we would have the capital to compete with the Xiongnu. ”

The next day, Huermu led 40,000 cavalry to the direction of Qilian Mountain.

In just one day, Huermu crossed the desert and arrived at the western foot of Yinshan Mountain.

After camping, Huermu looked at the map, pondered slightly, and said to Huerda: "The north side of Qilian Mountain forms an east-west line, to the south is Qilian Mountain, to the north is the Huns, and Dada's cavalry is also scattered on this line. ”

"I took 30,000 cavalry to the Dongqiang Land through the Saihan Wendur Pass to intercept the caravans and envoys of the Qin people; You take 10,000 cavalry straight to the west and occupy the Xiqiang land from the Zhezhigentu Gaole Pass, and I don't think there will be many troops there. After the Xiqiang land is occupied, we will kill all the way to the east, and we will be able to quickly destroy Dada by attacking from both sides! Don't give the Hun cavalry at the western foot of Yinshan a chance to react! ”

Hulda received the order, and immediately divided 10,000 cavalry and went straight to the Jezhgentu Gaole Pass.

After resting, Huermu led 30,000 cavalry across the Saihan Wendur Pass, passed through the Jungburiga Stage, and went straight to Yongzhou along the valley. Gushui is the Shiyang River, which is the third largest river in the water system in the Hexi Corridor, and at the end of the Gushui is the land of Yongzhou, that is, Wuwei after the Han Dynasty!

At this time, Zhang Wei and his entourage had already crossed the estuary, out of the radiation range of the Great Qin Border Army, and they would be able to reach the first post house in Yongzhou in two days.

At the foot of a mountain somewhere only fifty miles away, Feng Ta and Wu Jian were discussing how to march.

Suddenly, an off-the-books scout came to report.

"General, I found a cavalry of about 30,000 people in the northern section of Gushui, and I saw that it was a cavalry of the Qiang people! It should be close to the middle of the valley by now. ”

The two of them hurriedly took out the map, and according to the position reported by the scout, their fingers slowly moved to the edge of the map.

Wu Jian frowned and said: "I have already arrived at the place recorded on the map, it seems that the Huns have done it." ”

If you are seen by those generals who are accustomed to battle, you will be surprised. The distance from here to the northern section of Gushui was more than 300 miles, and these two people actually scattered the scouts 300 miles away!

Feng Tread nodded, and slowly paced to the other side of the map.

"The cavalry of the Qiang people should have taken refuge in the Huermu of the Xiongnu. It seems that he was used as a striker to test the situation of the Hexi Corridor. But I don't know if their purpose is to be an envoy or to Dada. ”

Wu Jian got up and glanced outside the tent, and said in a deep voice: "Whether it is aimed at the envoys or Dada, since they are going down the valley, they will inevitably go to the land of Yongzhou!" ”

Then he turned to look at Feng Tao and said with a smile: "It seems that it is inevitable to fight them!" ”

Feng Tao raised the kettle in his hand and drank it all, wiped his mouth and said, "Then fight!" ”

"Compared to their cavalry, we have no disadvantage. The disadvantage of the horses is leveled by the saddle and the horseshoe, and we are superior to them in terms of marching speed alone. Not all of their 30,000 cavalry were capable of fighting, but at least two or three thousand men were provided with food and grass. We have just crossed the Great Wall, and the 30,000 iron horsemen are all elite horsemen, and the water and food they carry with them are enough to support the post house, which is also an advantage over them. ”

Wu Jian nodded approvingly.

"In this way, we have to ensure the safety of the post house, which has three days' dry rations for the army, which is the food we support to the next post house. Once you engage the Qiang people, you must fight quickly! ”

Feng was stunned: "The food in the post house? Isn't that for the Dada Ministry? ”

Wu Jian chuckled: "Your Majesty's edict to us is to find the Dada Department to replenish grain and grass. Since there is food in the post house, it is also for the Dada Ministry, so why bother to go far? ”

Feng Tao frowned, a little hesitant.

"I'm afraid that Dada will be dissatisfied, and His Majesty will also blame."

Wu Jian clenched the saber in his hand, as if Bai Qi was alive, and said with a solemn face: "Outside, the king's order is not affected." If you want to defeat the Huns in the grassland, you can't use common sense. Although you have more experience in fighting the Huns than me, you have been at the border for a long time, and you are still accustomed to following the rules. If you forget the purpose of our training at the Chaoyi camp, I'm afraid you'll end up on the grassland. ”

Feng Ta came to his senses and bowed: "I've been taught!" ”

He secretly said in his heart: "No wonder Your Majesty will make Wu Jian a general, although he is younger than me and not as experienced as me, but this courage is worth learning!" ’

Wu Jian nodded, tapped the map lightly with his saber, and said with a smile: "Without further ado, order the army to set off immediately." We have a surprise for them in the southern section of Gushui! ”
