Shanyu's soldiers are all discussing the news of the armistice, hoping that Shanyu will wake up soon: the morale of the soldiers has been blown clean by the cold wind of the desert. If they continue to fight, it will only be in vain and the soldiers will die. It is better to start the army as soon as possible.
, make peace with the Han army.
If Shan Yu could wake up, he would have woken up long ago. He just said to the kings: "The Han army is small, and I have many soldiers. The difference between the big and the small is like an eagle and a rabbit. I have sent Zhiya Si to help defend Meiji. King
The walls of the courtyard are so strong and deep that even if Liu Bei had a pair of wings, he would not be able to fly past the fallen eagle bow and arrow of Outuo Spring."
So they continued to besiege the city, but the besieging soldiers only drew their bows and shot arrows under the wall and did not fight with swords. Because Shanyu was not feeling well these days, he sat in the tent all day long. Mo Yue, the king of Zuoguli,
Taking command on his behalf, King Zuo Xian Liu Bao supervised the battle. King Zuo Guli had long been tired of fighting, so he said to King Zuo Xian: "In the past few days, how many warriors have fallen due to swords? How many warriors have fallen due to hunger and thirst?
The walled city is small and strong, and there is no need for so many warriors. It is not easy to give birth to a man among the tribes, so why waste time in the desert? Why not temporarily let the warriors from the south and north withdraw, repair the tents, and have a good rest.
So we can prepare for the upcoming war." King Zuo Xian was not yet old enough, but he had been immersed in Sinology over the years and did not agree with what Shan Yu did, so he agreed to the matter and let King Zuo Guli arrange it.
.
King Zuogu Li then withdrew the soldiers from the north and south as promised, and asked the Dugu and Liji tribes who had contributed more during the war to rest in the eastern part of the Northern Desert. Dugu Liwei and others received the order and took the reins of their horses to search for them that day.
There was not even a piece of felt cloth left in the water and grass. King Zuo Guli divided the remaining soldiers into three squads and took turns to besiege the city. He did not demand that each unit rush to attack. The soldiers on the front line were also lazy, and the besieged defenders
The army had used up all their arrows, so they only fired arrows under the city wall. Most of them took the opportunity to lie on the ground and rest, as if they were on an outing and hunting.
In this situation, Yufuluo first heard in his tent that Outuoquan opened the city and surrendered, the next day he heard that the Han army was mourning for Huchuquan, the next day he heard that the Tiefu people had defected, and the next day he heard that all the people in Qiefu had also surrendered.
After surrendering, 80,000 troops are now marching towards Shuofang, only three days away from the big city.
Humphrey's angry mood was gone. He only felt a wave gathering and rushing in the distance, but it was more than just a wave. It seemed that there were countless angry undercurrents intertwining and rolling under the wave, vowing to crush him to pieces.
. He once felt this power among the rebels in the big city, but in the end Dajiequ told him that it was just a fantasy. Is this illusion also a bubble now? When he held a military meeting, he remembered with disappointment that even
Zhiyasi was also captured by the Han army.
The kings were no longer submissive this time, but their suggestions were similar, and they were all begging for peace. The conditions for begging for peace were also clearly stated in the letter. They only talked about Chan Yu and ignored the others. Yuvluo sneered at this and said
The kings dispersed and discussed with Tagu and other promoted cronies. Unexpectedly, Tagu and others also persuaded him: "Now even the Tiefu people are in the Han army. We have been unable to fight in Shuofang for a long time, and our morale is low. Now the two sides
The number of troops is equal, and the enemy generals Liu Bei and Chen Chong are often known as military commanders. From this point of view, our army has fallen into a disadvantage. Now there is still room for the Shanyu to negotiate a peace. If we lose the battle, we will be dead." p>
These words sounded cold to Chanyu, so he no longer trusted these cronies. He only kept Liu Bao by his side and let them all retreat. He asked Liu Bao: How is the progress in the city today? Liu Bao said: Soldiers
After fighting hard to attack the city, it would definitely be captured in four or five days. Yuphrodite said: "How can there be four or five days left?" Then he lay on the bed and closed the door to sleep.
But he didn't sleep well. As soon as he entered the dreamland, he saw the bones and flesh of Huliba worn by the rocks in front of him. In his nose, he smelled the rusty smell of Huchuquan burned by the sacrificial fire. What he heard was the sound of the broken pole and ruler.
There was a crisp sound of cracking his skull, and he looked around blankly in the dream, but there were only endless black light spots, surrounding him. When he woke up, the sky was still dim, and the moon strings among the loess of the desert were particularly cold. Chanyu suddenly remembered a sentence
An old Xiongnu saying: A heroic man is only one who dies between swords, bows and arrows. Shan could not understand it in the past, but now it is somewhat clear.
Humphrey was determined to fight to the death.
So he held a military meeting again and ordered the Huns princes to reorganize their troops. They would leave the city tomorrow to fight a decisive battle with the Han army. He said to the princes under his command: This battle will shake the mountains and rivers, but it will not achieve his goal.
His martial name must also shed his noble blood, so that everyone will remember that he, Luan Ti, Yu Fuluo, is a descendant of the Luan Ti family and a proud man of heaven who grew up on horseback.
But the princes looked strange. They looked at each other and promised to leave. Humphrey was afraid of being immersed in last night's nightmare again. He took his eldest son's hand and told him the glorious legends of his ancestors and the guests in the cities in the Western Regions.
Let’s talk about the majesty of the Qilian Mountains and Tianshan Mountains on the grassland, and then talk about the tranquil blue lake surface of the North Sea (today’s Lake Baikal) and the sea of yellow and green trees on both sides.
When Yuvluo was a child, he sat on the lap of the old Chanyu and listened to his father telling about the heroic deeds of his ancestors and the vast land he conquered. He has never been there, so he has never told his eldest son, but now he is
Shan Yu, Liu Bao was the Xian King of Zuo, so he chanted in a sacred tone to his teenage son.
The next day, while he was sleepy, he sent his personal envoys to inquire about the kings' departure.
King Zhelan was in charge of the west side. He replied that there was a strong wind blowing in the west of the city last night. All the military equipment was scattered and many things fell into the quicksand. He still needed two hours to sort it out. Hudu Guduhou was in charge of the north side.
The sages Guduhou was in charge of the south. They reported that the soldiers were thirsty and were queuing up at the Mo River to get water. It would take two hours before they could set off again. King Zuo Guli was in charge of the east. He had already finished reorganizing but still had to send troops.
Considering that the rebels in the walled city were attacking; the Dugu and Su tribes who were resting in the northeast simply did not come. The messenger said that they would meet up again after the army departed, and the soldiers were now having a meal.
Chanyu was so angry that he could no longer sleep, so he could only ask his ministers and governors to find out the truth. Except for the east, the rest of the scenes were certainly not true. The Xiongnu princes had to spend some money and ask Shanyu's cronies to help them.
After a few words of kindness, Shan Yu's cronies did not want to fight with the Han army, so they joined forces in private and said to Shan Yu: "These kings have led their troops to fight in recent days, and they are already exhausted. Shan Yu hastily asked them to send troops, and they are mentally slow.
, Naturally, it is not done well. No matter how urgent the matter is, we cannot force the exhausted people. Shanyu should let them rest for another day."
Chanyu thought about it for a while and felt that this was true, so he let them rest for another day and they would definitely go out to the army tomorrow.
But he did not expect that the Han army would move so fast. That night, Chanyu was called out of his tent by Liu Bao. He saw fire five miles away among the hills of the main formation. The fire spread all over the mountains and plains, and on the gray-yellow earth
The room looked extremely bright, as if a hot forging knife was suddenly pulled out from a dark gray boiler. At first, only the blade was visible, and then the red blade surface was seen, turning the entire night into the forging water of the knife, giving birth to a butt.
Steaming heat.
Shan Yu was very frightened for a moment. He could see the strict formation and fighting spirit of the Han army from the firelight, and it was difficult for him to compete at this time. Fortunately, the Han army sent another envoy at this time and said: Shan Yu and the general Zhonglang who are protecting the Huns are
This is the Qi family, and we shouldn't be fighting each other, but Shan Yu's political behavior is unethical, so he has to kill his relatives without justice. It's just that you can't be ruthless. Now Shan Yu's army is in disarray, and he will be defeated in battle. Shan Yu's military reputation has been ruined in vain.
, he is willing to retreat five miles and wait two days before fighting Shanyu.
Shan Yu did not expect that the Han army had such an attitude, and was a little moved for a moment. He gave the golden belt to the envoy and said: This is a gift for his sister's wedding. He also asked about the Han envoy who had been killed by his guards a few days ago.
Where is the body? You should give it to the envoy and take it back with him. He lowered his head and said in embarrassment: The Han envoy had been fed to wild pigs and only the bones were left. In embarrassment, the envoy took his belt and left. p>
Shan Yu knew the nature of Liu Bei and Chen Chong, and said that the battle would be two days later. Shan Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He had not slept all night last night and had managed to survive until now. At this time, his mind was even more dizzy. He was determined to continue to deal with it tomorrow.
Your Majesty, please sleep for the time being. After leaning on the bed for a moment, he fell into a deep sleep.
When Shan Yu's snoring was heard from the king's tent, one of the guards carefully opened the tent to inquire about the situation. Seeing that Shan Yu was indeed asleep, he turned around and waved to several companions. A total of four guards followed in, holding hemp in their hands.
Using a rope sack and water-soaked silk cloth, the two tied Shanyu's hands and feet together on the bed. One person decisively stuffed the wet cloth into Chanyu's mouth, and the other opened the sack and threw out the straw man.
Before Humphrey realized what was happening, he was thrown into a sack. They stuffed some raw meat into the sack to make it invisible, and then lit the bonfire in the king's tent and used straw figures to make a standing figure.
After thinking deeply, the four of them carried Shan Yu and ran out of the tent. The time did not exceed half a quarter of an hour, and it was really as fast as a rabbit running away.
After they succeeded, they got on their mounts. Someone along the way saw them carrying sacks and their faces were full of joy, so they asked them where they were going. The leading guard's expression did not change and he replied casually: Shanyu was very happy and rewarded them with a wild horse.
Hey, they were about to go to the waterside to roast and share food. Sergeant Chanyu believed it and let them go.
When they left the camp, the four of them breathed a long sigh of relief. They untied the sack and dragged Chanyu out of it. Seeing that Chanyu had already fainted in the sack, the guards sprinkled some sand and water on it.
Only with a simple face, Yu Fulo woke up slowly, and the guards all breathed a sigh of relief.
One person put a knife to Shanyu's throat and whispered: "If Shanyu Ruoyan, we will die together with Shanyu." Yuvluo was so frightened that he no longer dared to shout. He listened to these former servants.
Talking and laughing, they walked ten miles eastward and brought him to the Han army's camp.
The night guard of the Han army happened to be Gao Zhun. He led Chen Chong along the way. At this time, he was leading the Han army to set up sentries. When he heard that the man in front of him was the Xiongnu Chanyu, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The Chanyu came to
We're on the way out." Without untying him, he carried the Chanyu up to the main tent like a dog or a sheep.
More than an hour later, Liu Bao entered the tent and realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly ordered the whole army to search for Shan Yu. The Huns army was busy all night and found nothing. At dawn, the Han envoys from yesterday returned and came to send a message saying that Shan Yu
Then in the Han army, he invited the Xiongnu kings to come and have a meeting.
So the armies gathered together, the entire Xiongnu army surrendered, and the city was relieved.
