Chapter 173: Decisive Battle in Henan (III)

Junjiling is the branch of Ziwuling.

The mountains are undulating and undulating. The strange peaks and rocks are rugged, and the mountains are densely covered with dense jungle, making the entire steep and gloomy look very lush.

Standing at the highest point of the mountain, you can see a beach.

After passing by the beach, it is Quyan City. The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. When you swept by, you will feel lonely and lonely.

Liu Kan stood on the top of the mountain, his eagle-like eyes locked on the looming city block, and had not moved for a long time. Like a rock standing here in the ancient times, it didn't move at all... From morning to noon, the mist in the mountains wet his armor, and then it dried up in the bright sunshine! Liu Kan breathed calmly, and behind him, there were still many people standing silently.

"Ali Li defeated?"

"Defeated!"

Li Cheng whispered: "Ali Shi was ambushed by Pinghou in Jitou Mountain, and he was defeated. He led his troops to retreat to Chaona, leaning against Zhaowang City, trying to stabilize his position. If Touman sent troops to provide assistance at that time, even if Ali Shi was defeated, he would not have been defeated so miserably.

But, like us, he was regarded as an abandoned child...

After two days of defense, he broke into the city. Sixty thousand Huns were completely defeated, and Ali was in the chaos, missing his place, and his life and death were unknown.

Now Touman has gathered Ziwu Ridge and launched an attack towards Hengshan. Junhou, what should we do? Should we move closer to Ziwu Ridge? But the General must have made proper arrangements. Even if we arrive at Ziwu Ridge, we can only catch up with the end."

Everyone was silent!

Mengjimuk and the other two lowered their heads and didn't even say a word.

In this era, human life is as low as a dog. The responsibility of a soldier is not to defend his country, but to some people. In fact, what is the meaning of the existence of a soldier? Even after five hundred years of the melee of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, no one can answer.

Meng Tian’s decision is understandable.

Everything is for victory, and the lives of just a few thousand people are abandoned. What a big deal?

But Liu Kan could not accept it. Although the memories of his previous life were much blurred by the passing of time, Liu Kan had a much deeper understanding of soldiers than others. The duty of a soldier was to defend his country. Even the people who lived with him day and night and fought side by side could not be protected. What kind of soldiers could he be considered? Thousands of soldiers, but now they have only a thousand left.

It was Liu Kan who gave hope to the people!

But in the end, I found that hope was nothing but a dream...

As the initiator, Liu Kan felt very difficult to accept. He could not accept this fate of being regarded as an abandoned son. Even if Mengjimuk was accompanied by him, he still could not accept it. On the contrary, Mengjimuk showed nothing. Perhaps from the day of birth, they were destined to be destined. They were born for the First Emperor, and death was for the First Emperor, and the rest of the matter was not important.

The ideological gap of more than two thousand years was revealed at this time.

It is hard to say which one is right or wrong. In this regard, Liu Kan is not wrong, Meng Tian is not wrong, and even the Huns are not wrong.

The mistake is that this messy entanglement of time and space.

Liu Kan shook his head, "We won't go to Ziwuling!"

"Don't you go to Ziwuling?"

Li Cheng was stunned at first, but then he made a statement of understanding, "It's better not to go to Ziwuling. Our current situation is indeed not suitable for combat.

It’s good to have a rest. When the war is over, we will report to the General.”

"Repair?"

Liu Kan turned his body and smiled faintly, "We do need to rest, but it is definitely not now. I don't want to meet up with the superior general, and I don't have to stand by and watch. On the contrary, we must take action and assist the superior general in fighting this battle. We must conquer Quyan."

"Capt Quyan?"

Guan Ying couldn't help but exclaim, "What's the point?"

Chen Daozi didn't understand Liu Kan's intention at first, but soon, he reacted, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful!"

Monk and Li Cheng immediately understood.

But the two of them immediately showed a look of embarrassment and said softly: "Mr. Junhou, with our current forces, attacking Quyan, is probably not a good decision. Quyan still has tens of thousands of Xiongnu people. Based on our current situation, attacking Quyan is like hitting stones with eggs."

Liu Kan did not answer, but waved to Lu Shizhi to come.

"Little Pig, tell everyone about the situation you have inquired about these days."

After hiding into Junji Ridge, Lu Shizhi once again acted as a scout. He led more than a hundred scouts, disguised as Huns, and constantly inquire about external information. Moreover, Lu Shizhi was only responsible for Liu Kan, and no one knew the information except Liu Kan.

Lu Shizhi said: "Quyan did have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the early days. However, during this period, after breaking into the northern part of Alisha, the Huns frequently mobilized their troops, which seemed very abnormal. Especially in recent days, a large number of troops have been transferred to the Linhe Ferry.

All the supplies and food were transferred frequently.

I also discovered an interesting thing. The Huyanti tribe at Linhe Ferry conscripted all the women and children from the Hun tribes along the river to Linhe Ferry. Only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people were left behind... After arriving at Linhe Ferry, those women and children were sent to Hebei. In addition, the craftsmen from various tribes were also transferred out. Quyan now has only three thousand people left."

This is a very important message. Chen Daozi, Li Cheng and Munch reacted first.

The Huns want to retreat?

"How is this possible?"

Mengke exclaimed: "The damn Xiongnu people are now fighting with the general in Ziwuling. Why should Quyan do such a thing as the dome of the Xiongnu Shanyu? If they want to retreat, wouldn't the battle in front of Touman have no meaning?"

"Yes, this is not normal... Could it be that the Huns were engaging in a conspiracy?"

Liu Kan said: "The people who stayed behind Quyan are Maodun!"

Guan Ying was stunned, "Who is Maodun?"

"He is the eldest son of Touman." Liu Kan thought for a moment and answered Guan Ying. Liu Kan was not very impressed with Maodun. But he vaguely remembered that in history, Liu Bang had confronted Maodun after unifying the Han Dynasty, but he left behind a great shame and humiliation for the Han people: the siege of Bai Deng.

This Maodun seemed to have killed his father and seized power. He was an extremely cruel and capable guy.

Therefore, when Liu Kan first heard Lu Shizhi mention Qu Yan's situation, his first reaction was: Maodun must have had a conspiracy.

But later, after Lu Shizhi found out the situation of the Huns and contacted his father-killing behavior in history, Liu Kan seemed to understand something. As Chen Daozi said: Power can make everything very indifferent, and even father and son turn against each other and brothers become enemies.

In the five hundred years of history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the act of father killing is not uncommon.

The father kills the son, the son kills the father...

There seemed to be nothing to be surprised about. After that, with the news of Ali Shi's defeat, Liu Kan understood Maodun's thoughts.

"Maodun and Ali Dun, known as the Huns, have a prestige among the tribes and even vaguely surpassed Touman. This time, Ali Dun was abandoned by Touman, and he had the intention of killing people with a knife. I guess Maodun felt the pressure, so he had some different ideas.

I guess Maodun wants to be independent.

He summoned women and children from various tribes in Henan because he had already had a foreshadowing that Touman would suffer a crushing defeat.

Therefore, Maodun prepared for the future and transferred these women and children to Hebei in order to preserve the vitality of the Huns... The daughter of Huyanti at Linhe Ferry was Maodun's Yanshi. Therefore, Huyanti would definitely support Maodun's behavior, so he took this action.

Little pig, can Maodun be in Quyan now?"

Lu Shizhi shook his head, "According to the information we inquired, Maodun left Quyan the day before yesterday and followed Huyanti to Linhe Ferry.

The main general who is now staying in Quyan is Maodun's confidant, Sule.

This guy is very brave and is said to have the courage to be unstoppable. However, he is a good wine by nature and can't drink every day. He is a genuine alcoholic."

Liu Kan's eyes were bright and he stared at everyone.

"How is it? The Huns want to withdraw, so we must not let them fulfill their wishes. It is said that there are more than 10,000 women in Quyan City, waiting to move to Quyan. The women's belly is full of Human seeds. If they are let go, they will definitely make a comeback in the future and pose a greater threat to us. I want to take a gamble, but I don't know if you are willing?"

Monk said: "If it were Xiaozhu's words, it would be not difficult to seize Quyan... The problem is that we will face the counterattack of the Huns."

"Yes, with our current military strength, I'm afraid we can't resist the counterattack of the Huns."

Liu Kan smiled and said, "I said that this is a gambling. If we succeed, we can not only avenge the people of Fuping, but also assist the general in attacking the Huns. The Huns in Ziwuling area almost gathered more than 80% of their elite troops.

Occupying Quyan is like closing the door and beating a dog, and the Huns have nowhere to escape.

Moreover, after we seize Quyan, we can also attract Maodun's troops to a large extent. Pinghou defeated Aliji in the north, and his troops would definitely go north. As long as we seize the opportunity, the Huns in Henan would have nowhere to escape... and then we join the army and head straight to Hebei. In this way, we can eliminate the Huns in one fell swoop, thus eliminating future troubles forever. How about?"

For everyone present, Liu Kan's words undoubtedly made many people feel moved.

However, if you want to win this battle, you must seize this opportunity. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to achieve the goal, but you will be wiped out.

"My mother, I've gambled!"

Meng Ji slapped his legs and shouted, "If you win, everyone will be promoted; if you lose, you will be done together... Junhou, I'll do it with you."

"I did it too!"

Fan Kuai and Tu Tu responded with his hands.

Chen Daozi looked at Liu Kan quietly. After a long time, he suddenly smiled: "Soldiers take risks and close the door and beat the dog! Hehe, it's really exciting, I'll do it."

Liu Kan looked at Guan Ying.

Guan Ying smiled and said, "Don't look at me. I came to the northern border with you just to earn military merits. I was so depressed in Fuping that I was going to have a sigh of relief in Quyan. If I did it, I would do it... Men should kill people, and their achievements will be all in the murder!"

Monk nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Liu Kan assigned a task now.

"Little Pig, you will immediately lead people and try to get into Quyan and be an insider. I don't care what method you use, in short, I will lurk for me.

When I attack, you must respond from the city.

This task is very dangerous and difficult. But I believe you, kid, can do it, right?"

Lu Shizhi nodded solemnly, "Brother Kan, don't worry, I can definitely do it."

"Since Sima, I want you to try to contact the Marquis of Peace immediately. As for how the Marquis of Peace said, I believe you must know; OK, everyone! Success or failure will be here. The people of Fuping and Xiujun Hou and their spirits in heaven will surely bless us and achieve success."

"Avenge the revenge of Xiujunhou!"

"Avenge the people of Fuping!"
