The wind and snow are coming soon
"Damn the Han army, damn Zhang Yue!"
King Ott's furious roar came from a large ornate tent.
The Hun soldiers outside the tent unconsciously moved farther away from the tent.
King Ouite has been in a very bad mood in recent days.
Several slaves had been whipped to death by the furious King Ott with a riding crop.
None of the soldiers wanted to get into trouble at this time.
"Da da da!"
At this time, a Hun nobleman dressed as a hundred horsemen appeared at the door of the big tent.
"How is the king?"
The Hundred Cavalry Commander asked a soldier at the entrance of the tent in a low voice.
"But Lancôme is here and she still won't come in!"
At this time, King Otu's voice came from the tent.
The Hundred Cavalry Commander named Lancome did not dare to delay, so he agreed and immediately got into the tent.
"Meet the king!"
"Get up, how are you today?" King Otto asked.
Lancome's face suddenly became tense, "A total of seven warriors died at the hands of the Han army..."
"Damn it!"
There was a look of perseverance on King Ott's face.
"Pulei, how's the evil man doing?"
When Lancôme was worried, King Outu suddenly changed the subject and asked about the affairs between Pu Lei and Ah and E.
In fact, the people of Pulei and A'ai were originally Pulei people.
More than ten years ago, the former King Pulei wanted to resist the enslavement of the Huns.
He secretly colluded with the Han army and acted secretly without realizing it, but was detected in advance by King Outuo.
King Otu led his army to kill King Na Pule, and then moved the 6,000 households of captured Pule people to the land of Aha, and this was how the Kingdom of Aha was established.
The remaining Pulei people fled to the mountains. A few years ago, the Tongservant Captain spoke to King You Xian and pardoned the Pulei people's sins.
These Pulei talents who hid in the mountains were able to return to Pulei and rebuild the Pulei country.
Lancome secretly glanced at King Outuo, "Your Majesty, the evil people and the Pu people have begun to gather...it's just..."
King Ott frowned, "Just what?"
Lancôme said bitterly, "The activities of Han army scouts in Pulei are becoming more and more rampant now. I'm afraid it will be difficult to recruit enough soldiers..."
King Ott said with a serious look on his face, "Damn it!"
"Are you all just losers? You actually sit back and watch the Han army scouts act as they please!"
When Lancôme heard this, she fell to her knees in an uproar, "Your Majesty, it's not that the warriors didn't work hard, it's because the Han army's tool called the sled moved too fast."
"It's cold now, which is why the Han army is so rampant... When spring comes, the Han army will never come back..."
In fact, the Han troops active in the Pulei area during this period were all used by Zhang Yue to confuse the Huns.
When King Otu was angry at the harassment of Han army scouts.
An elite Han army numbering about a thousand people, led by Zhang Yue, got on sleds and quietly left the barrier and headed east under the cover of night.
…
"Uncle Dub, are we going to attack the Pulei Kingdom this time?"
On a sleigh, an old soldier of the Han army quietly asked a uncle.
"From what I can see, it's probably the same thing. The princes started sending people to harass Pu Lei as early as half a month ago..."
Similar topics were played out one after another on each sleigh.
Even Geng Shu, who was the deputy general in this battle, thought that the Han army would attack Pulei.
The next morning, the Han army led by Zhang Yue arrived in the A'ai Kingdom despite the wind and snow.
An A'ai army happened to encounter the Han army.
After only a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting between the two sides, the small A'ai army was completely wiped out by the Han army.
King Ai was greatly frightened when he learned that the Han army was attacking.
He hurriedly ordered people to close the city gate and personally led people to climb the city wall to prepare for the Han army's attack.
"Kill one Han soldier, reward a horse, and a female slave..."
In order to resist the attack of the Han army, King Ai issued an unprecedented high reward.
While everyone in the A'ai Kingdom was tense, the Han army bypassed the A'ai Kingdom and headed northeast.
Looking at the retreating Han army, everyone in A'ai Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that these Han troops are going to attack Pu Lei State!"
The evil king looked at the retreating Han army with a complex expression, and was constantly struggling and thinking in his heart.
As a servant of the Huns, the Ahai people were naturally no strangers to the Han army.
The terrifying fighting power of the Han army left a deep impression on the evil man.
If it hadn't been for the fact that it was surrounded by Pulei and Cheshi, and it was flanked by the famous King Otuo on the right side of the Xiongnu, A'ai would have fallen to the Han army long ago.
The Evil King finally sighed and summoned one of his followers.
"Report to King Otu immediately that the Han army will attack Pulei!"
The charioteer was immortal, but King Ai finally did not have the courage to resist the Huns.
After receiving the information from the Evil King, King Otu did not dare to neglect it. He first sent a messenger to the Sun Chaser King and then ordered the warriors in the tribe to prepare for battle.
At the same time, a large number of reconnaissance cavalry were dispatched to the west and south.
"Can we check the movements of the Han army?"
Every once in a while, King Outo would ask Lancôme to report the results of the investigation.
But the strange thing is that the movements of the Han army have not been detected.
"Where are the Han troops hiding?"
Unable to find the Han army, King Outu naturally felt uneasy.
…
Just when King Otu was worried, the Han army suddenly turned northwest when they were about to arrive in Pulei.
"Your Majesty, what is our goal in this battle?"
While resting in the middle of the journey, the army officers, big and small, were ordered to come and ask Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue laughed and announced the real combat goal at this time.
"Enter the east and take the sun to chase the king's head."
All the generals were shocked when they heard this.
"Your Majesty, Dongqimi is in the hinterland of the Xiongnu!" Geng Shu was extremely surprised, but there was no fear on his face.
Zhao Yi suddenly realized at this moment, "Goodness...great kindness...the talents of kings and princes are beyond our imagination, let alone the Huns!"
After some rest on the way, the Han army and his party continued their attack on Dongqimi.
In order to ensure the concealment of the operation, Zhang Yue issued a hush-hush order again.
After three days of attacking, Zhang Yue's army had arrived at Duixu Valley.
Because of the sudden change in weather, Zhang Yue had to temporarily stop his march and chose a sheltered valley to settle his soldiers.
He summoned all the officers in the army from Dubbo to above.
"Gentlemen, this is where the Dongqiemi people are stationed for grazing. I intend to raid this place tomorrow morning. What do you think?"
"Jun Hou, now that the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, it may be difficult to cross the mountain pass!" It was Jun Yi who spoke.
Yan Yi is also an old man in the Luntai Army. He was originally a dubo in the Northern Army and joined Zhang Yue in the second year of Tianhan.
"What Yan Junhou said is true. There must be enemy defenses at the mountain pass. If we want to sneak over, we can only go around and cross the mountain... In such weather, I am afraid..."
Everyone also came forward to complain and give advice, but Zhang Yue, who always loved soldiers as much as his son, remained unmoved.
At ten o'clock in the second watch, the wind and snow eased a little, so Zhang Yue ordered his entire army to cross the mountains.
There was a heavy snowstorm, the flags were cracked, and the men and horses were freezing to death, looking at each other.
Although Zhang Yue couldn't bear it, he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
In order to boost morale, he personally walked at the front of the team to lead the way.
Encouraged by Zhang Yue, the Han army finally successfully crossed the mountains and reached the country of Dongqiemi.
