: Stop when you see fit

Author: Gongsun Wujiu

On the other side, Zhang Yue was now less than two hundred miles away from the Xiongnu's Shan Yuting.

At this time, he did not continue to march, but issued an order to set up camp.

Xulu Quanqu Chanyu breathed a long sigh of relief when he learned that the Han army had stopped advancing.

"Speed ​​up!"

Then under his strict orders, the Huns accelerated their march.

In order to avoid the Han army finding the hiding place of their tribesmen, the Huns deliberately took a big detour.

Two days later, Xulu Quanqu's Shanyu led 70,000 cavalry and approached the Han army's camp from the north.

"Well done!"

Zhang Yue finally smiled after receiving the news of the Xiongnu army's attack.

When the main force of the Huns was dispatched, his plan was already half successful.

Whether the remaining half can be successful depends on Wu Zheng.

At this time, Wu Zheng's troops were still marching in the forest.

In order to avoid being exposed, he arrested everyone he met along the way.

…

After Xulu Quanqu Shanyu arrived with his troops, he immediately led his personal guards forward to explore the situation of the Han army.

Looking at the neat formation of the Han army, Xulu Quanqu Shanyu couldn't help but show envy on his face.

"I, Qiang Hu, should have such soldiers!"

Upon seeing this, You Da Danghu said from the side: "As long as the Great Chanyu can take back the power of the kings and truly unify the Qianghu, he can unite and train his troops like the Han army..."

Hearing this, Xulu Quanqu Chanyu suddenly said: "I heard that King Youxian has now unified the power to train troops?"

You Da Danghu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "According to the news sent back by the King of You School, this is indeed the case!"

Xulu Quanqu Chanyu nodded and said: "Should this Chanyu learn from King You Xian?"

The right person was shocked: "Why did the Great Chan say this!"

Xulu Quanqu Chanyu stared at You Danghu, but said nothing. In the end, he just shook his head.

When You Da Danghu saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He understood that Xulu Quanqu Shanyu was probably dissatisfied with him.

You Dadanghu adjusted his mentality and organized some words in his mind.

"Does the Great Chanyu think that King You Xian made the Right Ministry strong without reducing the power of other kings?"

Xulu Quanqu Chanyu didn't say anything when he heard this, but his expression clearly acquiesced to this.

Upon seeing this, You Da Danghu continued: "What does the Great Chanyu think is the key to the restoration of You Department?"

Xulu Quanqu Chanyu finally spoke at this time, "The right wing's strength must be related to occupying a large amount of fertile land!"

"What the Shan Yu said is true!" You Da Danghu bowed his hands to the Shan Yu.

"The Great Chanyu thought that I, the Chanyu Ting, might get a lot of fertile land now!"

Hearing this, Xulu Quanqu Chanyu couldn't help but think of the eastward expedition to Wuhuan.

Now that I think about it, what Shanyu wanted to do in his eastern expedition against Wuhuan was essentially the same as that of King Youxian.

It was just one heading east and the other heading west. The final result was that one succeeded and the other failed.

"Why!"

Xulu Quanqu Chanyu sighed, he had also pushed hard for the eastward expedition against Wuhuan in the past.

It was precisely because of the Eastern Expedition that Zhang Yue secretly attacked Shan Yuting, which made Qiang Hu unable to recover.

Xulu Quanqu Chanyu sighed again, and braced himself up and said: "With Chanyu Ting's current strength, it is no longer possible to obtain new pastures!"

At this time, You Dadanghu took a few branches from the bushes nearby.

"The Great Chan is stronger than me and the tribes of Hu are just like these branches. When divided, they are weak, but when they are united, they are strong..."

"Now, I, Qiang Hu, have reached the point where I have to change... Only by gathering all the power of Qiang Hu, I, Qiang Hu, can have the strength to fight against the big man..."

"If this continues, sooner or later I, Qiang Hu, will be slowly strangled by a big man!"

Right Da Danghu pointed at the Han army in the distance and said: "If I, the Great Chanyu, force all the Hu tribes to be here, will we be afraid of the Han army?"

Xulu Qu Chanyu looked at the Han soldiers who were making fire and cooking in the distance.

"If I force all the Hu tribes to be here, it will be easy to destroy this Han army!"

You Da Danghu said: "I know that Da Shanyu has concerns in his heart, but for the sake of Qiang Hu's future, the interests of the kings must be sacrificed!"

Xulu Quanqu Chanyu sighed and said: "Why don't I know this truth? If this continues, I'm worried that all the tribes will rebel!"

You Da Danghu said disapprovingly: "So what if all the tribes in the Great Chan are against each other? Does the Great Chan know why the Han Dynasty can be as strong as it is today?"

Xulu Quanqu Shanyu thought for a moment and said: "This must be the power of the princes and kings!"

You Da Danghu said: "Yes, if the Han Dynasty still has many princes, how can I, Qiang Hu, be afraid of him..."

"In the past, in order to take back the power of the princes and kings, the Han Dynasty also had the Rebellion of the Seven Kings..."

"If the kings dare to rebel, the Great Chanyu should imitate the filial piety of the Han Dynasty... I am also willing to be Chao Cuo..."

…

Zhang Yue was also observing the Huns' arrangements at this time.

"Zhang Zhan, test the Huns for me!"

"promise"

Zhang Zhan agreed and immediately led his five thousand cavalry out of the stronghold to kill the Huns.

When Xulu Quanqu Shanyu saw the Han army leaving the stronghold, he ordered the general on the right: "Order the Royal Guards to go out to fight..."

The Royal Guards are a standing army composed of elites selected from various tribes after Xulu Quanqu Chanyu ascended the throne.

Their troops are not many, only ten thousand cavalry. But they have the best equipment and treatment of the Xiongnu, and of course the training is also the best.

Xulu Quanqu Chanyu divided the Guards into two groups of 5,000 men each, commanded by the left and right generals respectively.

Now the people on the right side of Xulu Quanqu Chanyu are on the right side, while the left side stays in the Chanyu Courtyard.

General You also wanted to see how the new army in his hands compared with the Han army.

After receiving Shan Yu's order, he immediately left the camp.

As soon as Zhang Zhan saw the Huns in the camp, he knew that they were the elite of the Huns.

But he was not worried, instead he became excited.

Zhang Zhan had half cavalry, half spears, and half bows.

He first sent out his horse archers.

This time the Han army's archers used the maneuvering tactics commonly used by the Huns.

Zhang Zhan's intention was first to lure the Huns to attack.

If the Huns did not take the initiative to attack, then the Han army's archers would launch waves of cavalry attacks on the Huns.

Once the formation of the Huns' cavalry was disrupted by the cavalry fire of the Han army's cavalry, the Han army's lances launched a charge against the Huns, defeating the Huns' cavalry in one fell swoop.

General You is also a veteran general and has been fighting against the Han for more than twenty years. He is also quite familiar with the Han army.

How could Zhang Zhan succeed in his purpose so easily? He could see the purpose of the Han army at a glance.

Under his command, the Huns' central army retreated backwards, while the left and right wings began to advance forward.

The two wings that come forward are like two arms, trying to embrace the Han army's archers and cavalry.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhan had no choice but to change his tactics.

The Han army's archers and cavalry retreated under his command.

The general on the right snorted coldly when he saw the Han army's archers and cavalry retreating.

The Chinese army was ordered to stop retreating and instead advance forward.

Soon the Hun cavalry's formation returned to its original state.

"Left attack!"

Then the right general issued another order.

The formation of the Huns' left cavalry attacking was not a straight line, but a diagonal line.

"Haha!" Interesting.

Zhang Zhan saw the Huns' intentions at a glance.
