Shi Bao vividly told a group of people what happened in that inconspicuous and nameless mountain col. Shi Bao's story was very good and attracted everyone there. They wished they were there. Until Shi Bao finished speaking, everyone was still there.
They were all deposited in that fierce battle. The bravery of the thorns, the tenacity of the Huns, and the cunning of Liu Hong were all described in Shi Bao's mouth like a painting.
Ying Guangji coughed, breaking everyone's intoxication: "How many casualties did both sides have in the end?"
Shi Bao glanced at Su Ren and sighed: "Although the thorns were extremely brave and captured the Huns general to death, the Huns were forced to retreat. The losses to the horse thieves were not small. Two thousand people died and more than five thousand were injured.
, and the Xiongnu took most of the horses with them when they retreated, and only captured 5,000 horses and some cattle and sheep."
Han Qingyi frowned: "How many Huns died in the battle?"
"Based on post-war estimates, it should be around five thousand!"
"Ah! Is it half?" Han Qing showed an incredulous look: "The Huns are indeed brave. Even though Jingji and the others were in the right place at the right time, they were unable to completely annihilate the Huns. This was just an ordinary military horse under Yi Zhixie. I don't know that Shan Yu
How powerful are your soldiers!"
Gongsun Ao snorted: "What are you afraid of? This is a victory after all. I don't believe how powerful the bullshit Chanyu's soldiers are? Will they survive if they are stabbed with a halberd?"
Wang Hui lowered his head: "In return for the expedition, Shanyu kept encouraging the Huns to join in. The total strength of the Huns has reached 80,000. This battle is not easy to fight! How about we ask your Majesty to increase the number of troops?"
Gongsun Ao looked at Wang Hui with contempt: "Don't blame your Majesty for everything! The Huns are only 80,000, and our total number of troops this time is no less than 100,000. If 100,000 cannot defeat 80,000, in the future we will
Let no one talk about war with the Huns!"
Su Ren touched his chin. He was twenty-eight years old, and his beard had grown an inch long. It was just right to touch: "The Huns' combat power indeed exceeded our expectations. As General Gongsun said, we cannot leave everything to your Majesty."
Make the decision. Since we came up with this strategy, we must find a way to make up for it. Give General Han, General Li, and General Cheng a copy of the battle situation between Brother Jing and Yi Zhixie's men, so that they can be prepared.
Never underestimate the enemy!"
"Sir, is there any way to make up for the lack of combat power between our army and the Huns?"
Su Ren shook his head: "Not yet, as long as everyone works hard, we can always find it. Let me tell you one more thing, it is always more difficult than finding a solution, haha!"
As the Chanyu army got closer and closer, there were fewer and fewer merchants in Mayi City. The Xiongnu and the Han fought for hundreds of years, and the Han did not win many times. Although the Huns always made sneak attacks, the merchants knew that in the vast
The Huns can be said to be invincible on the grasslands. The Han people's strength is to defend the city, one defense and one attack. The attackers will have an advantage no matter how they attack, not to mention that it is not known whether the Mayi city can be defended in such a dilapidated state.
Yu Shan was the last person to know that Shan Yu sent a large army to attack Mayi. Even King You Xian knew it earlier than him. When Su Ren was talking in King You Xian's tent, Yu Dan sneaked in with two guards.
When they came in, the frightened singing and dancing prostitutes quickly covered their exposed sensitive parts. Last time, King Youxian suffered the torture of two dancing girls from the Western Regions. Later, he thought of a compromise and just didn't do anything.
King Youxian laughed and waved the frightened dancers to get down: "The prince is covered in dust, so he ran very fast along the way!"
Yu Shan ignored King Youxian and threw himself in front of Su Ren: "What's going on? Father Khan is really coming to attack you?"
"Hahaha!" Su Ren chuckled: "What? Are you afraid that your father can't beat me?"
Yu Shan said with a dark face: "You are still joking at this time. I heard that Father Khan's soldiers and horses have arrived at the Duck River. You should hurry back to Yanmen Pass! I will find a way to save the things left in Mayi. If you can't keep them, I will
How about when I buy it online?"
Su Ren glanced at King Youxian and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't believe you, but that you can't afford it? It's not enough to give me all the cattle, sheep and horses in your tribe."
"So much? Then you can transport some of it quickly before Father Khan arrives. If you transport some, you will lose less!"
Su Ren patted Yu Dan on the shoulder: "I accept your friend's love. I really can't leave. Don't worry, I have a way."
"Why! Why did Father Khan come all the way through the snow to attack Mayi?"
King Youxian said: "Why else? It's nothing more than food! Shanyu listened to King Zuoguli and broke off the deal with Mr. Su. In the end, he got nothing. One hundred thousand people were waiting for food, and there were no
A small tribe takes the lead in the battle, and the Chanyu has no other option."
"Then we should attack King Zuogu Li!"
Su Ren smiled: "The prince hasn't seen the current situation clearly yet?"
Yu Dan stopped talking. He gritted his teeth and sat down on the cushion next to him with a dark face. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He suddenly looked back at Su Ren and said, "Do you have other plans?"
Su Ren smiled: "Let me tell you this! It's okay if the Shanyu doesn't come, but if he comes, this grassland will be in chaos! I'm just defending myself, there are other people who want the entire grassland."
King Youxian said: "King Zuogu Li's army has secretly moved north. According to Tanma's report, the number is about 30,000 to 40,000. I wonder if Shanyu has arranged for so many people in Langjuxu."
"What? King Zuo Xian really wants to..."
"It's not really necessary, it's already started!" Su Ren took a sip of wine, which was Erguotou. When Yu Dan came, he and King Youxian had already drank a lot, and his whole face turned red: "However, this is also
It's your chance, it's up to you what you do."
King Youxian immediately said: "If the prince wants to take action, I am willing to help the prince!"
The tent became extremely quiet. Su Ren and King Youxian looked at Yu Dan. Yu Dan lowered his head and said nothing. Yu Dan is a good man. Of course he also has ambitions, but when it comes to making his own decision, he is still a little unable to make a decision.
Determination. It's not that Yu Shan is indecisive, but that he doesn't want to see civil strife in the Huns. When Yu Shan was very young, he followed his father Shan Yu, a military minister, and his grandfather, Shan Yu, to fight in the south and north. He saw many battles in the south and the north, attacking each other, and when the grassland
After settling down, he never wanted to go back to that era.
King Youxian glanced at Su Ren, who shook his head slightly. He couldn't disturb Yu Shan at this time. He needed to make up his own mind for such things. Once influenced by others, he might collapse if he encounters setbacks, or even anger others.
.Since King Youxian wants to be Yu Shan's ally, he must not become Yu Shan's enemy in the future, otherwise Yu Shan will be completely finished.
I don't know how long it took, but Su Ren felt that his legs were numb. He put his hands back on the ground and stretched his legs as flat as possible. King Youxian was too fat and sat there taking a nap.
"Pah!" Yu Shan slapped his palm on the cases, his face turned red: "I'll go back and mobilize the troops right now!"
Su Ren took a deep breath and nodded: "If you need food or soldiers, let me know. I'll give you a cheaper price this time. How about 20% off?"
King Youxian was awakened by the sound, and happened to hear the words of the two men. He laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, they all say that I am a coward. This time, let them see if I am a coward or not!"
Yu Shan left first, and King Youxian followed him and sent people to pack up his tent and return to the royal court. Yi Zhixie owns the largest tribe in the south of the Xiongnu, with about 60,000 soldiers and horses. Now he only sends 30,000 to Langjuxu.
, which means that he still has 30,000 soldiers and horses that have not moved. Perhaps Yi Zhixie is preparing for Yu Shan to attack him. Looking at Yu Shan's back, Su Ren had no smile on his face.
That Yu Dan came to inform him as soon as he heard the news showed that Yu Dan really regarded him as a friend, but he was always taking advantage of Yu Dan. Su Ren felt that he was a little underhanded.
Han Qing appeared beside Su Ren at some unknown time and looked at Shan and his cavalry in the distance: "This Hun prince is not a bad person. Is he a little soft-hearted?"
Su Ren nodded without denying: "Yu Shan doesn't have many soldiers and horses, and King Youxian doesn't have many. Besides, King Youxian says it's good, but he may not use all his strength when he actually takes action.
Zhixie still has 30,000 soldiers and horses left in Yinshan, so it's hard to say whether we can win."
Han Qingdao: "Aren't there still Thorns and the others? Can I help them if necessary?"
Su Ren shook his head: "In the battle at the mountain col, although the thorns did not damage the muscles and bones, the soldiers and horses are no longer able to fight. I still have great use for his people. If they all die here, the gain will not be worth the loss."
"So, what if Yu Shan loses?"
Su Ren thought for a while and said: "That's what I think. If Yu Shan loses, let him enter the Great Wall. No matter what, I have to save his life. This is what I owe him."
"Will Your Majesty agree?"
"I don't know!" Su Ren turned around and walked down the tower, holding his hands behind his back and walking back: "By the way, I will send someone to deliver some food and armor to Yu Dan tomorrow. From now on, he will give it to him whenever he asks."
"Not for sale?"
"As long as he can fight Yi Zhixie for a hundred years, what can we, the great men, do if we raise him?"
Han Qing was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. He stroked his beard with one hand and pointed at Su Ren with the other hand: "I was almost deceived by my husband. I really thought that my husband and Yu Shan were brothers. It turned out that my husband was still using him. The Huns were fighting among themselves.
The big man is most advantageous, this plan is very clever!"
Su Ren glared at Han Qing: "What do you mean by taking advantage? This is obviously my help because of my friendship with Yu Shan. How come it all changes when it comes to your mouth?"
"Hahaha..., yes, yes, true friends are helping us with all their strength!"
When he returned to the city lord's palace, all the main people in Mayi City were there. Everyone had been very busy recently. Gongsun Ao was busy training his soldiers. He had to take a look at Yanmen Pass and the sentry towers outside the Great Wall. Wang
Hui was also very busy. He was Su Ren's deputy general, and Su Ren left all the writing matters to him. Even Gongsun Hong was very busy. He couldn't do it as the Lord of Mayi City, so he suddenly became the Lord of the Dang Kou General's Mansion.
Book. Su Ren is the hands-off shopkeeper, and others should be busy running around. (To be continued)
