Chapter 186 The Huns

"What?!" Xiang Zhuang was suddenly surprised and said in a lost voice, "Huns?!"

"It's probably the Huns!" Baili Xian said, "If the Huns hadn't gone south, with King Xiu Tu's greed, how could he leave?"

"It would be a problem if it was the Huns." Xiang Zhuang immediately looked up and shouted, "Jin Xiang, go and invite Qin Ji over."

"Here!" Jin Xiang, who was guarding outside the hall, agreed and took the order.

In less than half a meal, Qin Yu hurried into the hall of the headquarters, first bowed deeply to Xiangzhuang, then bowed to Wei Liao, Bailixian, and then said respectfully: "The general saw the summons late at night, but what urgent matters are there?"

Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Qin Ji, how is the bacon made in the female barracks ready?"

As early as two months ago, Xiangzhuang had already asked the female barracks to start smoking bacon. Specifically, they slaughtered cattle and sheep, removed the internal organs and marinated for several days, then took them out and baked them with smoke and then dried. The bacon made can be stored for a long time and will not rot, which is the best choice for military rations and meat.

Qin Ji said without hesitation: "I smoked almost 50,000 stones."

Xiang Zhuangmo calculated that one stone was 120 kilograms (Qin jin, about 60 kilograms now), and 50,000 kilograms are 6 million kilograms. On average, every Chu army soldier had 300 kilograms. It was almost enough to eat two kilograms of meat a day! However, there should be more than these cattle and sheep captured from the Aries tribe?

The next question asked: "How many cattle and sheep are left?"

Qin Ji said: "There are about 5,000 cows and more than 100,000 sheep."

Xiang Zhuang said: "Slaughter all these cattle and sheep, and then smoke them up."

"Smoke all?" Qin Ji said in surprise, "General, the salt may not be enough."

The salt used by the Chu army was trafficked from South Korea because Jiuyuan did not produce salt.

Although Liu Bang explicitly ordered Han Wangxin not to trade with the Chu army, Han Wangxin was a hypocritical act and privately used contraband products such as salt and iron to trade horses with the Chu army.

Xiang Zhuang said: "If there is not enough salt, don't pickle it, just smoke it!"

It’s nothing if you smoke it directly without pickling. At worst, the soldiers will be allowed to eat it with coarse salt. No matter what, these cattle and sheep must not be left to the Huns.

"Here!" Qin Yu agreed with a loud promise and took the order.

Watching Qin Yu's beautiful figure go away, Xiang Zhuang goes to Wei Liao again, Baili Xian said: "Military advisor, stay in Jiuyuan when you are old, Ziliang and go to Gaoque with me to pick up Meng Shuo."

#############

When Xiangzhuang and Gao Chu arrived at Gaoque with five thousand personal troops, it was already noon the next day.

Before leaving Jiuyuan, Xiangzhuang had already ordered the troops to be prepared to evacuate. If the Huns really went south, they would definitely not be able to withstand the 20,000 Chu troops alone, and it would not be possible to have the natural danger of the Great Wall!

Judging from combat effectiveness alone, the Chu army was of course not afraid of the Huns, but the difference in strength between the two armies was too great.

What's more, the Chu army really didn't need to join the Huns in Hetao. The Huns would give Liu Bang a headache.

Meng's general Xiang Zhuang, Gao Chu and Baili Xian Yingxingyuan. As soon as the four of them saw the ceremony, the deputy general Meng Keng hurried into Meng's main body and bowed and said, "General, the Huns are here!"

"Hmm?!" Xiang Zhuang and others changed their expression slightly, and then rushed to the city.

When Xiangzhuang climbed up Gaoquewang Tower surrounded by Mengmeng, Gao Chu, Bailixian and Mengkeng, black Hun cavalry had already appeared on the vast grasslands in the northwest. The Hun cavalry looked like Xiu Tu cavalry, and the Loufan cavalry were not different. They were short and strong, and they all rode Mongolian ponies.

However, Xiang Zhuang felt a bitter murderous aura from the Huns.

If you have to make an analogy, the Linhu people, Lou annoying, and Xu Tu Ren is like a group of local dogs, a group of local dogs that have almost been domesticated by the Central Plains people. There is no more wildness left on them, while the group of Huns are a group of wild wolves, a group of wild wolves born and raised on the prairie, untamed and exposed fangs!

Gao Chu frowned and said in a deep voice: "There are only five or six hundred cavalrymen. Could it be the outpost of the Huns?"

"The situation is wrong. These Huns seem to be running away!" Meng Feng led the army to guard the border for many years, fought hundreds of wars with the Huns, and was extremely familiar with the Huns, so he discovered an abnormality at once.

"Escape?!" Xiang Zhuang frowned, "Are the Huns defeated by the Donghu or the Yuezhi people?"

"That may not be necessary." Baili Xian said, "The General is not aware that the Huns are actually not the name of a tribe, but the general name of hundreds of tribes of the north of the desert. The largest tribe is Maodun's Chuli tribe. These tribes are not a single piece of iron, and they often become popular with each other. This may be a expelled Hun tribe."

The Huns were so popular, which was quite interesting. Xiang Zhuang picked up the short beard at the corner of his lips and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Bailixian suddenly pointed to the distance and said slightly loweredly: "General, look, more Hun cavalry are coming behind!"

When Xiang Zhuang looked up quickly, he saw a faint black line on the horizon in the northwest direction. Meng Fengyun's face changed drastically when he saw it: "Look at this situation, there are at least five thousand cavalrymen!"

"The Huns beat the Huns?" Gao Chu said, "It's interesting."

#############

"Wow..." Hu Yan Zhengde gently pulled the reins, and the horse under his crotch slowly stopped the horse stance, and more than 500 cavalry following behind him also stopped.

In front, the pass is blocking the way.

Behind, the pursuers are tight!

Looking back, most of the last 500 warriors left in the Huyan tribe were injured and exhausted. A faint loneliness suddenly surged on Huyan Zhengde's face. The supreme Tianlang God, have you really abandoned our Huyan tribe and watched us perish?

"Class leader, Su Yang's tribe is catching up!" Hu You tribe shouted.

Hu Yan Zhengde turned around and saw that there were already dense Su Yang cavalry emerging from the horizon behind him. Su Yang, damn Su Yang, do you really want to capture my You'er and offer it to the tyrant Maodun?

In a flash, Hu Yan Zhengde's eyes had already fallen on the young Hun woman beside him.

The young Hun woman had bright eyes and white teeth, and her skin was as snowy as she did. She did not have the bloated figure of a woman from Mobei and the rouge face caused by long-term sun exposure. The young Hun woman was named Hu Yan Youer. She was the girl of Hu Yan Zhengde and was also his woman. She was a Hun. There was no saying that close relatives could not get married.

Taking a deep breath, Hu Yan Zhengde slowly lifted out a dark big sword.

This big sword is the sword of the Huyan tribe. It is said that the ancestors of the Huyan tribe spent a huge price hundreds of years ago and traded it from the people of the Central Plains. The reason why the Huyan tribe had a quarrel with the Chuli tribe this time was because Maodun fell in love with the sword of the Huyan tribe and the most beautiful woman on the grassland.

Hu Yanzheng Deqing had his sword in his hand, and then he pulled his horse and turned back slowly.

The last five hundred cavalry warriors left in the Huyan tribe also carried out blood-dropping bronze swords, and then spread out in a word behind Huyan Zhengde.

In less than a moment, the Hun cavalry surging in front of him had approached within 500 steps.

Surrounded by hundreds of cavalry, a Hun general in bear-skin armor slowly stepped forward, pointed at Huyan Zhengde with the horse whip in his hand and shouted: "Huyan, you can't escape, you know what you know, please go back to the dragon court with me and apologize to the Great Shanyu! I think that you have been fighting for the Great Shanyu in the east for many years, the Great Shanyu will most likely spare you!"

"Su Yang." Hu Yan Zhengde said lightly, "You really want to kill everyone?"

Su Yang said: "It's not that I want to kill you all, you're asking for your own results today."

Hu Yan Zhengde sneered and said, "Su Yang, if it were you, would you offer your own woman?"

Su Yang was silent. Of course, he would not give up his woman. Even if he was the Great Chanyu, Huyan You'er was different. Huyan You'er was the flower of the grassland. She was destined to become the eunuch of the Great Chanyu. Although Huyan Zhengde was the number one warrior on the grassland, he could not compete with the Great Chanyu for women. The Great Chanyu was the reincarnation of the gods.

Hu Yan Zhengde sighed and said a little lonely: "Su Yang, don't force me, I really don't want to kill you."

Su Yang was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "Haha, Hu Yan, you are still as arrogant as before. Just because of your more than 500 remaining cavalry, you still want to kill me?"

Hu Yan Zhengde smiled slightly and said indifferently: "Kill you, just one rider is enough!"

"Is that true?" Su Yang laughed furiously, "I am here, come and kill me if you have the ability!"

"Then don't blame me for not thinking about my childhood relationship." Hu Yan Zhengde sighed, then picked up a white wolf helmet from the side of the saddle and pressed it on his head. Then he urged the war horse and rushed forward alone. At the more than 500 cavalry of Yu Hu Yan's army, without Hu Yan Zhengde's permission, he really didn't even come forward to help the battle.

#############

On Gaoque Pass.

Gao Chu took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Is this Hun crazy? What do he want to do?"

Xiang Zhuang's eyes also shook. Does this Hun want to take the head of the enemy general among the troops?

"White Wolf Helmet?!" Baili Xian recognized the white wolf helmet with his fangs exposed and murderous intent at a glance, and said to Xiang Zhuang, "General, this person is the number one warrior of the Huns - Huyan Zhengde!"

"Hu Yan Zhengde?" Xiang Zhuang frowned, "Ziliang, do you know this guy?"

Bailixian shook his head and whispered: "I just heard of him, but I have never dealt with him. This man is good at riding and shooting, and has the courage of thousands of men. What is particularly rare is that this man is familiar with the Central Plains and has read a lot of military books. He is the most respected general of the Xiongnu Shanyu Maodun, but he doesn't know why he was chased by the Xiongnu?"

"Is that so? Maodun's most important general?!" Xiang Zhuang's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

Suddenly, Xiang Zhuang turned around and ordered Meng Shuo, "Tianfang, gather cavalry, stand by at any time!"

"Here!" Meng Fengqi responded with a loud bang, and then hurried down from the city with Meng Keng and gathered his troops.
