After the spies reported the intelligence from Pingyun County, the dozen or so senior officials of the Wutu tribe in the tent all showed shocked, dignified, and incredulous looks.
As the 300,000 vanguard troops who were the first to go south to test, although 200,000 of them were ordinary Wuhuan cavalry, there were also 100,000 Wuhuan elite cavalry.
They had thought that if the Wuhuan tribe invaded and encountered tenacious resistance from the Han army, the progress of the invasion would be greatly affected and the casualties would be heavy.
However, they did not expect that the 300,000 vanguard troops would be completely wiped out in just a few days, with no survivors.
What was even more unexpected was that it was not the army from the Han Dynasty that destroyed them, but the rebels from Pingyun County.
Naturally, the Wuhuan people are very aware of the rebellion in Pingyun County.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken advantage of the chaos to invade.
They even thought that they might encounter Gongsun Zan head-on and be defeated.
I never thought I would be defeated by Qin Yuan.
After all, Gongsun Zan had guarded the border for many years and had fought many battles with the Wuhuan tribe.
Qin Yuan, on the other hand, was a little-known figure before this.
No matter Gongsun Zan, the Wuhuan tribe, the people in the court, or even the players, they never thought that Qin Yuan would win in Pingyun County.
This was completely beyond everyone's expectation.
"Who is this Qin Yuan?"
"The speed of its rise is really amazing!"
"Intelligence shows that he not only wiped out the tribe's 300,000-strong army, but also defeated Gongsun Zan's 500,000-strong army in the battle!"
"What a pity that such a hero ended up falling into the arms of the decadent Han court and became a lackey of the Han Dynasty!"
"According to the news, he also captured Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Fan and others alive, but unfortunately he let them go in the end!"
The important leaders of the Wutu tribe gathered together to discuss.
Among the intelligence, they didn't have much information about Qin Yuan.
But I know several of Qin Yuan's achievements.
First, the largest force among the rebels has now successfully occupied Pingyun County and became an official official of the imperial court.
Second, he defeated hundreds of thousands of troops led by Gongsun Zan head-on.
The third was to eliminate the 300,000 vanguard troops of the Wuhuan tribe.
These achievements all prove Qin Yuan's strength.
Especially the second point.
Defeated Gongsun Zan head-on!
You know, Gongsun Zan, as the captain guarding the border of Youzhou, was responsible for defending the foreign tribes outside the wall, and often fought with the Wuhuan tribe.
In the confrontation between the two sides, Gongsun Zan always won more and lost less. The Wuhuan people had suffered from Gongsun Zan for a long time.
"This time it was my command error. I misjudged the development of the situation and underestimated the enemy's strength!"
A burly man said in a loud voice.
The person who spoke was named Wuye.
He is the son of the leader of the Wutu tribe, and he is also the commander-in-chief of this million-strong army.
They knew before that there was a fight between the rebels and Gongsun Zan.
I originally wanted to take advantage of the fierce fighting between them and send a vanguard army to invade, making the situation even more chaotic.
After all, given the situation at that time, even with Gongsun Zan's ability, it was not easy to put down the rebellion in Pingyun County, and it would take a lot of time.
But no one expected that the final outcome would be that Qin Yuan single-handedly defeated all external forces and successfully occupied the entire Pingyun County.
But the problem now is.
The fighting in Pingyun County has ended.
This doesn't fit in with their plans.
Moreover, Qin Yuan successfully became an official of the imperial court.
If the Wuhuan tribe invaded again, it would definitely arouse the vigilance of the Han court.
It is even possible to face joint resistance from Qin Yuan and Gongsun Zan.
The difficulty of invasion has been greatly increased.
But without an invasion, the plan cannot be terminated.
Their millions of troops have been stationed here for many days, but they have achieved nothing.
"Although Pingyun County has experienced more than a month of war, it has now fallen into Qin Yuan's hands!"
"But Qin Yuan's strength has increased explosively during this period!"
"The number of troops under his command is no less than 600,000!"
"Although it is a very powerful force, the Wutu tribe's millions of troops will definitely be able to defeat it!"
At this time, a man wearing Central Plains clothing spoke out.
Among the Wuhuan people wearing armor, this man with obvious Central Plains characteristics looked very unique.
But for him to be able to sit with the top brass of the Wu Tu Army, his identity is not simple.
"Going south to attack Pingyun County is the order given by King Wuhuan!"
"Our Wutu tribe will definitely implement it!"
"It's just that as a partner, shouldn't your Zhang family contribute some effort?"
Wuye looked at the man and asked.
They have long wanted to go south.
It's just that Yanshan Mountain is separated from Youzhou outside the Great Wall.
This is not an ordinary mountain range that you can cross if you want to.
If you want to cross such a mountain range, you must use the teleportation array of Bai Ze Mist.
But the rules for the appearance of Baize Mist are difficult to find.
Especially the large-scale Baize Mist that teleports millions of troops.
This is the moment they have been waiting for.
Otherwise, they would have led an army of one million people to the south.
Rather than wait until now.
"Young Master Wuye, our Zhang family has contributed a lot to the chaos in Pingyun County!"
Zhang Yi said, "It's just that you didn't grasp it, but instead, Qin Yuan suddenly emerged!"
The masterminds behind the layout of Pingyun County are the Yuyang Zhang family and the Wuhuan clan.
He even wanted to take the opportunity to plot against Gongsun Zan.
Unfortunately, because of Qin Yuan's appearance, things developed unexpectedly.
Although Gongsun Zan was defeated in this conspiracy, he was not defeated by the Wuhuan tribe, but by Qin Yuan.
I originally wanted to defeat Gongsun Zan and deal with him, so as to eliminate a major enemy that threatened the Wuhuan tribe.
However, Qin Yuan used Gongsun Zan as a blackmail and used it as capital to negotiate with the imperial court and the Gongsun family.
In the end, Qin Yuan got an advantage.
The Wuhuan tribe not only gained nothing, but also lost 300,000 vanguard troops.
The conspiracy of the Zhang family in Yuyang was shattered, which aroused the vigilance of the Gongsun family.
Although there is no direct evidence that the Wuhuan invasion was related to the Zhang family.
But the Gongsun family has been keeping an eye on the Zhang family recently, and the secret fight between the two sides has become increasingly fierce.
In addition, after Gongsun Zan was let go by Qin Yuan, he did not think of revenge against Qin Yuan, but instead targeted the Zhang family.
Gongsun Zan can't tolerate this kind of family that colludes with foreign races!
Compared to being defeated by Qin Yuan, he would only admire Qin Yuan's strength.
The villainous behavior of the Zhang family, even betrayal of the righteousness of the alien race, is what Gongsun Zan hates the most.
In addition, the relationship between the two families has always been very bad, and the two factions have been fighting openly and secretly. Now it is full of gunpowder, and a power struggle may turn into a war at any time.
It's just that the current imperial court has not yet collapsed, and there is Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, suppressing the struggle between the two parties, which prevents the two factions from fighting each other in the imperial court.
However, the pressure on the Zhang family is not small, and it is difficult to make big moves like before.
As for supporting the Wuhuan tribe, I'm afraid we can't do that.
Otherwise, if they are discovered, they will not only face the wrath of the Gongsun family, but also be wanted by the imperial court. Other factions in Youzhou will inevitably point their fingers at the Zhang family.
After all, no matter who wins or loses in the internal struggle, it is acceptable.
But introducing foreign races would break the bottom line that everyone can accept.
"The Zhang family can at most provide some intelligence assistance, or they can send troops to fight outside the Great Wall to help Shanyu conquer more Wuhuan tribes!"
"However, when it comes to the internal war in Youzhou, we cannot directly send troops to help!"
Zhang Yi shook his head and said.
"Since the Zhang family cannot provide direct military assistance, forget it!"
“But the food and equipment agreed upon must not be missing at all!”
"This should be possible!"
Wuye's expression changed when he heard the mention of Wuhuan's great Chanyu Qiu Liju.
He no longer embarrasses Zhang Yi.
As we all know, Zhang Chun, the governor of Yuyang, had a good personal relationship with Wuhuan Chanyu Qiu Liju.
Qiu Liju was able to coordinate various tribes and become the chanyu of the Wuhuan tribe, thanks to Zhang Chun's help.
As the envoy sent by Zhang Chun, Zhang Yi has the same status as the envoy sent by Shan Yu.
Now they even put Chanyu on their lips, which is reminding them not to forget their relationship with Qiu Liju.
The Zhang family and Qiu Liju have the same status.
As for the Wutu tribe, which is subordinate to Qiu Liju, its status is lower than that of the Zhang family.
Even if it comes to negotiating the dispatch of troops, it can only be done by Qiu Liju. The Wutu tribe is not qualified to do so.
Also remind them a little bit.
They also shouldered an important task. No matter what difficulties they faced, they had to go south to capture Pingyun County.
This is not only an order from Shanyu Qiu Liju, but also related to the future destiny of the entire Wuhuan tribe.
"certainly!"
Zhang Yi said, "What about going south?"
"Don't worry, Ambassador Zhang. We have not forgotten that according to our observations, the large Baize Mist should appear in three or four days!"
"At that time, millions of cavalry from our Wutu tribe will surely destroy Pingyun County!"
Wuye said.
The probability of Bai Ze Mist appearing is very small.
And the Baize Mist that can teleport millions of people is even rarer.
Of course, they can also use other Baize Mists, but the number of people teleported will definitely not be too many.
But if they were sent in batches like that, they would probably just die.
If you send a batch, a batch will be destroyed.
Naturally Wuye would not do this.
After the discussion was over, everyone went back to their tents to rest.
The day passed quietly until late at night.
Most of the soldiers were already asleep.
Only a few soldiers who patrolled the night were left, and they were drowsy.
Boom boom boom!
Woohoo!
Suddenly, there was an overwhelming roar outside the camp, causing countless people to wake up from their sleep.
"What's going on?"
Everyone was shocked.
When they left the tent, they saw flames rising into the sky from the tent near the mountain.
Under the illumination of the fire, I saw a large black shadow emerging from the mountains in the distance, like a wandering figure, heading towards the company camp.
Ahead, there are huge beasts, giant wolves and tigers!
"Is this an outbreak of beast tide?"
Wuye said in surprise, "But it's not the season for the beast tide to break out yet!"
The Yanshan Mountains are not only millions of miles apart, but also full of dangers.
In addition to the dangerous terrain, the reason for the danger is that there are many large and vicious beasts living there!
It is even rumored that the strange beast Bai Ze lives deep in the mountains all year round. It is said that Zhu Jiuyin was also born in Yanshan.
The ferocious beasts inside are not only powerful, some of them are even comparable to humans in the acquired realm and innate realm!
Many of them are gregarious creatures, and once they appear, they will gather in groups and turn into a large-scale beast tide.
Even the regular army of the human race may not be an opponent.
The Wuhuan tribe is also very aware of how dangerous it is to face the tide of ferocious beasts.
Although they have an army of millions, they may be able to withstand a wave of beasts.
But the losses will certainly not be small.
But the ferocious beasts are not their enemies after all.
If there are too many casualties, it's definitely not worth it.
"It's not a tide of beasts!"
"Look carefully, there is someone above the tiger and wolf!"
"No, this is probably Qin Yuan's army!"
Zhang Yi's expression changed drastically.
Zhang Yi remembered the information that Qin Yuan had a powerful combat unit called the Black Wolf Emperor Cavalry, and had subdued a large wolf as a mount.
Even Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong is no match.
Even during the battle with Gongsun Zan, some people saw a group of powerful troops with tiger mounts appearing on the battlefield.
However, there is very little news about this aspect, and it was even considered to be a rumor at one time.
Now that I have a look, the rumors are indeed true!
"Young leader, please inform the entire army that the enemy has launched a night attack!"
Zhang Yi shouted quickly.
"Quickly pass the order and prepare to fight!"
Wuye said with a cold expression, "Niu Ganyou, you immediately led your 50,000 elite cavalry to stop the enemy's attack!"
"Yes, young leader!"
The strong man named Niu Ganyou responded.
They all know very well that if the enemy attacks the camp successfully, the destructive power it will cause will be very terrifying.
Even if they had millions of troops, they would probably suffer heavy casualties.
Therefore, they must prevent the enemy from attacking the camp and prevent the chaos from continuing to expand.
"Envoy Zhang, how many do you think the enemy troops are!?"
After giving multiple instructions, Wuye finally calmed down.
As the supreme commander of this million-strong army, it is essential to maintain a rational and calm mind.
In this army, anyone can be in chaos or panic, but he can't.
"Although the enemy launched a night attack, they seemed to be well prepared!"
"However, if the army wants to teleport to Bai Ze Mist, I'm afraid it's not that simple!"
"You know, young leader, it took more than ten days for the 300,000 vanguard troops to be teleported to Youzhou!"
"Now, it is only a few days before the enemy forces destroy the vanguard army. From counterattack to planning and teleporting the troops, the number should not be too many!"
Zhang Yi analyzed. "Moreover, the enemy just teleported over and encountered us by mistake. He may not know how many troops are stationed here, and may misjudge our strength!"
"I hope so!"
Wuye said with a solemn expression.
He also felt that Zhang Yi's judgment was reasonable.
After all, there is a natural barrier like Yanshan here.
It is not that easy to mobilize a large army at once.
This is true whether they invade Youzhou from Saibei or attack from Youzhou into Saibei.
If it weren't for Yanshan, their Wuhuan army would have entered Bipingyun County long ago, and the situation would not be what it is now.
Of course, if it weren't for the barrier of Yanshan Mountain, I'm afraid there would be no existence of the Wuhuan tribe, and I'm afraid they would have been destroyed or conquered by the Han court long ago.
