Phew!
The majestic falcon dominates the sky, and every eagle cry makes all its feathers quiver.
The sharp eagle eye scanned the ground below, and in a short time he found his target in the vast land. He circled and swooped down like a fighter jet across the sky!
Phew!
In the narrow valley, a team was running fast when they suddenly heard a familiar eagle call. Everyone looked up and saw a familiar sea turtle swooping down towards the place.
"Ambassador Ben, he is the trust eagle from the prince's side!"
The falconer in the team who was responsible for feeding the trust eagle reported to Ban Chao.
Ban Chao nodded: "I think the prince must have some news to pass on to us."
The falconer nodded and skillfully raised his arm covered with thick special armor. The eyes of the sea green eagle that kept circling after swooping into the air suddenly lit up. It circled and then landed lightly on the falconer. On his arm, a pair of sharp claws were firmly grasped on the arm guard.
The falconer took out a piece of beef from the pocket on his waist to feed Haidongqing, and while feeding him, he took off a small bag tied to his ankle.
"Ambassador Ben!"
The falconer respectfully handed the small bag to Ban Chao, who took it and opened it, pouring out half a bronze soldier talisman and a roll of paper.
Glancing at the soldier symbols curiously, Ban Chao's attention was quickly attracted by the contents on the note.
According to the news on the paper, the half of the soldier talisman was actually a token between the Daxia people and Shebitu. With this soldier talisman, he could get help from Shebitu.
Passing the letter to the attendant to burn, Ban Chao turned the half of the soldier talisman in his hand and murmured with a smile on his lips:
"I originally thought there would be some difficulties, but now that I have half a piece of military talisman, there will be no problem. The prince and the letter came just in time."
Ban Chao, who was more confident in his heart, solemnly put half of the soldier talisman into his arms. After confirming that it would not be left behind, Ban Chao immediately ordered to speed up.
Time is running out. Kushan's army is right behind. Whether they can stop Kushan's escaping army depends on whether they are fast enough!
…
While all parties were intensively setting up a net around the 200,000 fleeing Kushan troops, on the Xiongnu grassland...
"Da Chanyu, the latest information is that the Dayue clan has even abandoned the royal city. At this moment, the Dayue clan's Great Chanyu Qiu is heading towards Mobei with 200,000 remnant troops. It is suspected that he wants to follow the Turkic route. Take the ancient road to the Turks!
The Yunzhou Allied Forces are following closely behind. Judging from the current speed, if there are no accidents, they may not be able to catch up. "
At the foot of Langjuxu Mountain, where the Hun Royal Court is stationed, the goshawk in the Chanyu tent is reporting to the great Chanyu Tila on the intelligence recently collected by the Falcon Court.
After listening to the report, Tira squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "If we gather troops now, how many people can we gather at most in half a month?"
Goshawk was slightly startled, but then immediately said:
"In half a month, with the speed of the royal court's message transmission, we can gather at most tribal soldiers in a radius of about 500 miles. Add in the time to prepare weapons and food, and we can only gather up to 100,000 soldiers."
"One hundred thousand?"
Tila touched her chin and thought for a moment, then asked: "According to the previous intelligence, that boy Zhao Jun took away 150,000 people, so there shouldn't be many troops left in his hometown, right?"
Goshawk nodded and said:
"When the Yunzhou Army was recruiting people at the border gates of the Song Dynasty, I took the opportunity to send some of our detailed works from the Song Dynasty.
According to the news they sent back, there will not be more than 20,000 troops left in the three cities of Yunzhou Army. If they are dispersed to each city, Yunzhong and Dingyang combined may only be about 10,000. There should be one in Yunzhou City. Thousands of people. "
The total is only 20,000!
Tila nodded, stood up and came to the map. Looking at the terrain above, he traced his fingers from the Royal Court to Yumenguan and then to the Hedong Corridor to Dingyang City and murmured:
"If we go here, it will take at most half a month to arrive. Zhao Jun is currently chasing the remnants of the Kushan army in the Western Region. Even if he receives the news immediately, it will take at least three months to return.
In two months, 100,000 people can conquer the three cities of Yunzhou and get countless good things from the three cities of Yunzhou, such as tea, salt, sugar, iron, various technologies and population. Once we get these, with the strength of my great Huns, we can quickly Arm a large number of heavy armored cavalry like Zhao Jun! And that artillery technology
When the time comes, with the same skills, I don’t believe that this Shanyu can’t beat him, Zhao Jun!
Even that guy's family and even the crown prince of the Song Dynasty are also in Yunzhou City. If we can capture him, not only can we use that guy's family to threaten him, but even the Song Dynasty can be blackmailed for us and get countless benefits! "
The more he spoke, the brighter Tira's eyes became, and the representative ambition in his heart began to burn brightly!
The voice gradually became louder: "Once we get these, maybe I, the Huns, will be able to take over the Central Plains!
Let me, the Great Huns, leave this harsh grassland completely, so that my people of the Huns can enjoy the fertile Central Plains land like the people of Song Dynasty! "
Tila suddenly turned around, stared at Goshawk and ordered coldly: "Do your best to send all the spies to the three cities of Yunzhou to prepare for my great cause of the Huns. Also contact the Ding family and ask them to replace the guards at Yumen Pass and help Let’s cover up our tracks, because I, the Huns, owe him a favor and can help them once afterward.”
Hearing this, Goshawk swallowed his saliva and said, "Da Shanyu, what do you want?"
Tila smiled coldly: "Is there any better opportunity than now?
The lair of Zhao Jun is at its weakest. If we don't seize this opportunity and wait until Yunzhou County gets the Western Region to continue to grow, how can I, the Xiongnu, survive? "
"But, if we do this, I'm afraid Zhao Jun will fight us desperately. It will take time for us to digest what Yunzhou County has obtained. According to the intelligence, Zhao Jun's strength is not only this, he is in other places There are still at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers, what if they come over and fight to the death?"
Goshawk felt that his throat was a little dry, and he also felt that his big Chanyu's idea was a bit crazy.
Tila smiled coldly, stuck out her tongue and danced with her slightly white lips, and sneered: "This Chanyu wants to bet that we can digest the technology and things we got before that guy works hard, and have the same skills as them The strength to contend.
Goshawk, do you know how desperate I felt the moment I knew the true strength of Yunzhou County?
There is an endless supply of steel, endless food, and all kinds of powerful new weapons constantly appearing. This Yunzhou County is simply too scary!
I woke up from my dreams countless times at night, fearing that I would suddenly hear the news of the Yunzhou Army's attack. I knew that with the strength of our Xiongnu, we were no match for them.
Now that the opportunity has come, it may be the only one. If we don't seize it, I, the Huns, will have no chance to turn around.
So I want to bet, I want to take the whole Huns to bet!
From the time Ben Shanyu seized the throne to now, do you think I wasn't taking a gamble that time?
I have won so many bets, and I believe I will win this time too! "
Tira's eyes were shining, and Goshawk's heart gradually calmed down, and she finally nodded heavily.
"Da Shanyu, I understand! It's a bet!"
"Hahahaha! Yes! I bet!"
Tira laughed wantonly!
