Yi Zhixie's life was difficult. He lost five thousand cavalry in the mountain col, and those who came back had no fighting strength. These are the Huns. They like to fight with the wind. Once they win, the Huns' robber character will be revealed, and they will be brave and good at fighting.
Needless to say, you can go through fire and water. But once you are frustrated, everyone becomes listless, as if someone has been cramped, and even walks with his head down.
Laton died, but Liu Hong escaped. If it were normal, Yi Zhixie would have killed Liu Hong, but he would not do that now. Now is the time to employ people, and he wants to attack Lang Juxu Mountain.
On the one hand, we also have to be on guard against Yu Shanhe's group of horse thieves. With a force of 60,000, we have to leave behind 30,000. From Yinshan Mountain to Langjuxu Mountain, it's hard to say how many people will be able to fight in the winter. What if it doesn't work?
We still need to increase our troops, and everyone in Yi Zhixie's hands is very important now.
Liu Hong's reasons were also very sufficient. He repeatedly emphasized that Laton did not listen to his advice and insisted on attacking head-on. He did not wait for him to lure the horse thieves out before attacking. This caused losses and had nothing to do with Liu Hong. Again.
One, when Laton was defeated, Liu Hong also worked hard to rescue him, otherwise none of the five thousand soldiers would have thought of coming back. Therefore, Liu Hong not only had no fault, but also made meritorious deeds.
The crunching sound of Yi Zhixie's teeth was heard clearly by the people in the big tent, but Liu Hong didn't care and continued: "Your Majesty, these horse thieves are actually fighting us to the death. They must have some agenda. In the future, we will guess the horse thieves."
It must have been sent by Su Ren to hold the king back so that he can concentrate on dealing with the Shanyu, and then wait until the Shanyu is defeated before causing trouble for the king, so this group of horse thieves must not be allowed to stay."
"Still want to conquer?" Yi Zhixie frowned.
Liu Hong nodded: "This time the general is willing to lead the army alone to fight, we will definitely drive out this group of horse thieves!"
Yi Zhixie looked at Liu Hong and said after a long time: "Then how many troops do you need?"
"Just the last general and his subordinates plus the five thousand defeated troops are enough."
"That's it?" Yi Zhixie smiled, and the generals under his command also laughed.
Liu Hong did not laugh and said: "The last general sent someone to see the battlefield. Although General Laton was defeated this time, the Huns warriors were still beaten hard by the horse thieves. They would never have thought that we would send troops again, so they naturally relaxed their vigilance.
This can be exploited by us. As long as we break into the mountain col, the horse thieves will not be afraid!"
Yi Zhixie stopped laughing, looked at Liu Hong and said, "Is this true?"
"The last general is willing to issue a military order. If he cannot annihilate the horse thieves, he is willing to die as punishment!"
Yi Zhixie waved his hand: "It doesn't matter what the military order is. As long as you can defeat those horse thieves, no, as long as you can drive the horse thieves out of my territory, I will make you a general. When I become a Shanyu in the future, I will make you a general."
king."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Hong left Yi Zhixie's tent and looked back with a relaxed smile on his face. This feeling of being dependent on others is really not good. If he had not really had no way out, he would never have come to the Huns. The Huns
He has looked down on the Han people since ancient times. If Yi Zhixie had not shown mercy this time, he, Liu Hong, would have died. Looking up at the eagle in the sky, Liu Hong fell into deep thought.
Nie Yi and Young Master Ji were in Liu Hong's tent. When the news of Shan Yu's revolt came, Nie Yi and Young Master Ji lost their use value to Yi Zhixie, so they naturally defected to similar camps.
Among his subordinates, only Liu Hong can protect the two of them in Yinshan, and only Liu Hong can still use them here. They are both businessmen, so they naturally know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
After Liu Hong received the money, Shaogong Ji stood up impatiently: "How is it? Your Majesty, did you agree?"
Liu Hong smiled slightly: "What do you think? My method will cause the least loss to the king. The five thousand Huns have lost their morale, at least in a short period of time. It will have no effect on the king. Instead of raising them, it is better for me to take them away.
really."
Ji Shaogong was overjoyed: "This is very good, very good!"
Liu Hong sat down and waved his hand to drive everyone else out of the tent, leaving only his two personal guards. He asked Nie Yi, "Are the things I asked you to prepare appropriate?"
Nie Yi nodded: "It's been done. 50,000 shi of grain are being transported. They're all placed at the place we agreed on. The Huns haven't noticed."
Liu Hong nodded: "Fifty thousand shi is still too little. We can stick to it this winter. What should we do in spring? According to the current situation, it won't take long for the Chanyu to arrive in Mayi. Once the Huns and Han people go to war, all the levels will be destroyed.
After the blockade, it may not be easy to transport a large amount of food."
"Then what should we do? We can't go to Han Dynasty, we can only stay outside the Great Wall."
"Can the people sent to Su Ren come back?"
Young Master Ji shook his head: "There is still no news. Will Su Ren really give us food?"
Liu Hong smiled: "I know this Su Ren better than you. He is a merchant. As long as it is beneficial to him, he can ignore the past grudges. Of course, this premise is that he is bound by something. Once the matter is over, he will turn his back and deny the person. So our
not much time."
"What if Su Ren doesn't agree?"
"We have no choice but to make the most of it! At worst, we will be just like those horse thieves."
"Will those Huns listen to us?"
"If you don't listen, you'll starve to death. If you listen, there might be a chance of survival. It's up to them to decide how to choose."
Yi Zhixie worked hard to kill the horse thief, and Thorny also worked hard to get revenge. Although the battle was won, the price paid was too high. Ten thousand Huns were killed and five thousand were killed.
A lot of people died in Bian. Moreover, too few were captured, which could not satisfy the losses. Looking at the pile of corpses, the black faces of the thorns became darker. Yesterday, they were all alive and kicking, but after just one morning, they were lying on the ground coldly.
Three thousand were killed, and more than five thousand were injured. The medicinal materials sent by Su Ren were very effective. Except for those who were seriously injured, they could basically save their lives, which made Thorns a little relieved.
Old Heita stamped his foot on the ground: "Lord Wolf, the three thousand brothers are gone as soon as they leave. They are good brothers who have followed us through life and death. How about we leave? If we stay here and fight a few more battles, there will be no one left!"
Thorns glared: "How can there be no death in a war? We are only allowed to hit others and no others are allowed to hit us? These brothers cannot die in vain. Since it was the Huns who caused it, they must pay for it with blood!"
Fei Yaozi frowned: "The goal of tens of thousands of us gathering together is too big. I think it is best to spread out. A small team of a hundred or ten people is most suitable. It can not only escape quickly, but also bloom everywhere so that the Huns cannot touch us."
Whereabouts, even if we lose one team, it won’t be too much. Seeing that spring is not far away, we should be prepared for the Huns’ army to kill us!”
Huo Qilin nodded: "Lao San is right. Will the Wolf Lord divide his troops?"
The four men looked at Jingjia, Jingjing frowned: "Wait a minute, I have not finished what I promised Su Ren, and we have to stay here, but I promise that we will leave before spring."
"Lord Wolf, what on earth did Mr. Su want us to do? Although this place has good terrain and is the closest to the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu tribe has been completely wiped out. There is no use in staying here. Why don't we go a little further west, Su
Sir, just come back when you need me."
The ivy had a big mouth: "Mr. Su won't let us attack Yi Zhixie's royal court, will he? The brothers who have been inquiring about the news in the past two days said that Yi Zhixie left half of his troops in the royal court, and we are the only ones who can attack him.
but."
Old Heita also frowned: "It's okay to fight against some small tribes. If we go head-to-head with the Huns, I'm afraid we have to explain everything here."
Jingji said angrily: "Don't make blind guesses, it's not about this! Now, it's okay to tell you. Mr. Su asked us to stay here and wait for the Han army to enter the Xiongnu. He is planning to ambush the Xiongnu Chanyu in Mayi. Do you understand?"
"Ah! A big army, how big an army is it?"
Jingjia sneered: "I'm going to scare you to death if I tell you. It's a total of 150,000! These horses we got are just for them. Do you understand now?"
Huo Qilin's body swelled with excitement: "Seriously? Lord Wolf didn't lie to us?"
Jingji said: "What's the point of lying to you? In addition to these 150,000 troops, there are also soldiers and horses in Yanmen and Daijun. The total is no less than 200,000. But I have said something ugly in front of you. If anyone leaks this matter,
Go out, I will be the first to bear the thorns and cannot spare him."
Fei Yaozi folded his arms and lowered his head in thought: "The Han army passing through here can avoid the Huns' spies in the direction of Yanmen, and then catch them by surprise. It's really a good strategy!"
Jingji said: "Of course it's a good strategy. Su Xiaozi has a lot of tricks up his sleeve! So we have to hold on here and can only wait for the army to pass and leave."
Fei Yaozi said: "But Lord Wolf, I am still worried that the Huns will come to retaliate against us. Five thousand Huns will definitely die in our hands. If the Huns know that we are still here, will they send more people? Then we will be passive."
"
"What can you do?"
“Take the initiative!”
"Taking the initiative? Do you really want to attack Yi Zhixie's royal court?" Huo Qilin was anxious.
Fei Yaozi waved his hand: "Of course we are not going to attack the Royal Court, except for the tribes around the Royal Court, and the tribes to the west are the best. This has three advantages. First, it makes the Huns think that we have gone west; second,
We attack the tribes in the west to make the Huns exhausted; thirdly, we can also reduce the pressure here and allow the Han army to cross the border safely."
Thorns laughed: "Good, very good!"
Old Black Tower was the first to stand up: "Lord Wolf, please order us to fight!"
Thorns nodded: "Think of you, it's best to attack with two waves, and one that goes east and then west is best, who would still want to go?"
"I'll go!" Huo Qilin stood up for the second time.
Jingjia laughed loudly: "Then you two, each with three thousand soldiers and horses, fight if you can, and if you can't, run away, and make the Xiongnu more chaotic, the better! No matter how many livestock and horses are taken, killing is the first priority.
You, let the Huns know that we thieves are not easy to bully, and avenge our brothers who died in the battle."
"promise!"
Liu Hong set out with his men. In order to eliminate the horse thieves, Yi Zhixie gave Liu Hong everything he wanted, except for the men and horses of course. The food was enough to feed 6,000 people for a month, and he also gave all the family members and livestock of the 5,000 defeated soldiers.
Liu Hong. Looking at the huge group of people behind him, Liu Hong sat on his horse and sang excitedly.
The deer roars, eating the apples in the wild. I have a guest. I play the harp and the sheng. I play the sheng and the reed, and I carry the basket. People who are kind to me show me how to travel. The deer roars, eating the wormwood in the wild. I have a guest.
