Chapter 324: Evacuation of the Army
The news of the collapse of the fifth line of defense spread on the battlefield of Pei Shan, so that the Han army that was stuck in front of Pei Shan City and the sixth line of defense breathed a sigh of relief. In the past ten days, they have resisted the repeated attacks of the Hun army in Peishan City, in order to ensure the completion of this strategy, they have suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately before the dawn, they are still standing tenaciously.
The Huns who were far away in the fourth line of defense in the enemy's formation, finally couldn't bear the pressure, mutinied in a strong attack of the Han army, opened the city gate and let the Han army enter, with the Han army pouring in like a tide, the fourth line of defense finally ended in the Xiongnu defenders' self-determination. The sixth line of defense was the longest, seven days after the fifth line of defense of the Han army was broken, and it was officially surrendered. Since then, when the six roads came out of the station, they almost thought that it was an impregnable defense line, and the Huns claimed to be able to hold the defense line for a year, and finally under the leadership of Gao Zheng, it took four months to officially break through.
And the emperor of the Han Dynasty also personally came to the camp outside Pei Shan City to reward the army, and it was the soldiers who used their lives to make this battle progress so fast. After a big feast, Gao Zheng set up a large camp fifty miles away from Pei Shan City, rested his soldiers, and thought about the next military action against Pei Shan City.
And in Peishan City, the Hun army has been busy into a mess, the so-called iron wall defense line was broken in May, so that many nobles were shocked, almost everyone went to the palace of Peishan City every day, without him, they didn't want to fight, but they couldn't figure out what Ke Moore thought in his heart, but Ke Moore was closed for several days at the moment, they could only go every day, wait every day, originally thought that they would go to find the other two big leaders, the left and right Xianwang, but I didn't expect that the left and right Xianwang, one went out of the city for more than ten days, and even didn't know where to go out, and he didn't return, and the other was drunk every day, not asking about current affairs, this is a rush to kill this group of small peopleγ
In the palace, the dim oil lamp, Moore sat on the floor, and he sat on the map of the Western Regions, and the area covered by red and blue arrows was all over the map. It was as if it was Ke Moore who brought the entire Western Regions under his iron hooves. The noise outside the door was remembered, but Moore asked lazily, "How many days is it?"
The attendant replied, "Great Khan, it's the fifth day"
But Moore nodded, "Then it's the eighth day of Zali's departure, and did King Zuo Xian say when he will come back?"
The attendant replied, "King Zuo Xian said that day that he would return on the eighth or ninth day."
But Moore sighed, stood up, and stretched his waist, "Go, call the right virtuous king, it's almost time"
In the temporary residence of King Youxian, King Youxian was hugging his favorite concubine and sleeping, as if the noise outside that was almost breaking the sky had nothing to do with him. Until, the messenger of the Moore came.
The messenger asked, "Where is the Right Virtuous King?"
The family member of the mansion of the Right Xian King said, "The prince is still sleeping, please wait, I will wake up the prince."
Unexpectedly, the envoy grabbed the family and said, "No need, since the prince is still sleeping, it is still inconvenient to disturb." There is a bottle of fine wine here, which was given by the Great Khan to King Youxian, please give it to King Youxian, and I will take my leave."
The family took the wine and said, "Remember, please reassure your Excellency." β
On the ninth day, when it was already the third pole of the sun, King Youxian woke up from his bedroom, and when he was very thirsty, he suddenly saw a very delicate-looking wine bottle in his sight, and he was immediately very interested. I tore open the seal and drank it directly. But as soon as I took my mouth, I found that something was wrong, and this thing was extremely bitter. Youxian Wang spit out violently, there was nothing on the bottle, it was obviously something of unknown origin, he got up and was angry, and Youxian Wang shouted, "Someone!"
A housekeeper came in and asked, "Lord, are you awake?" Do you need us to call someone to wash up immediately?"
Holding the bottle, King Youxian asked, "What the hell is this, why is it in my room?" The family members of his palace want to be arrogant, and they can make the family obey their words, which is nothing more than gifts from the other two people. He had to know who had sent it before he could guess what the purpose of the bottle was.
Jia Ding bowed down and said, "Lord Wang, this is the wine sent by the Great Khan last night, because it was sent very late, so he didn't bother the prince, but asked the little one to send it in."
King Youxian was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed joy: "Great Khan? What you said was sent by the Great Khan?"
Jia Ding arched his hand and said, "The little one doesn't dare to lie, it was sent by the Great Khan."
King Youxian put down the wine bottle, "Prepare a wash for this king, and this king will bathe and change clothes!"
In the palace, on the map this time, there are not only Ke Moore, but also King Zuoxian, who has disappeared for a long time and reappeared today. I saw that King Zuo Xian was in the dust, and it was clear that after he came back from outside, he returned to the palace as soon as possible. Both of them were silent, as if they were waiting for someone. Sure enough, after a while, from the secret passage on the side, a figure suddenly turned out, and when he looked at it, it was the Right Sage King. Since then, the most powerful people in the court of the Xiongnu have finally gathered together.
But Moore asked, "Zali, how are things moving?"
King Zuo Xian arched his hand and said, "All the necessary documents and materials have been quietly transported away from the secret passage, all the materials that are ready to be stationed in Pei Shan, the ministers have all intercepted them, and they have been diverted to the Blue Building, the Blue Building has begun to strengthen the city defense, the royal court guards and other departments have been secretly transferred to the Blue Building, and the rest of the materials in Pei Shan, as long as the Great Khan gives an order, they can be transferred immediately." β
But Moore shook his head, "No need, now Pei Shan's supplies are all left, transfer too much, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion, and then the plan will be ruined." And what about you, how are you preparing?"
King Youxian arched his hand and said, "The number of soldiers has been fully counted, all the nobles' personal soldiers, excluding our direct subordinates, a total of 25,000 people, Peishan City is a city of bricks and stones, it is a rare fortified city in the Western Regions, and the tunnel excavation has almost been completed, and it can be completed in three days at most." β
But Moore nodded, "What about the nobles in the city? Are they suspicious?"
King Youxian said, "As long as the Great Khan does not appear for a day, they will not dare to speculate easily, as for asking the subordinates, the subordinates have all avoided with a hangover, so no one should suspect it"
But Moore nodded, "Very good, then everything, just execute according to the plan, Zali, you go to the Blue House first to do everything, Ben Khan and the Right Xian King will stay first, stabilize the morale of the army, at the very least, can't let Pei Shan City collapse too quickly"
