My series of "what should I do" already made several people in the tent covered in sweat, and Wu Jian was even more embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, the crime will be punished by death! Your Majesty, please convict me!"
My expression slowed down.
In a sense, what Wu Jian did was my idea. If Wu Jian had not done it, I might have ordered him to do it. Or if his goal is to plunder the grassland, I won't say anything whatever he does.
But this time it was not his fault. He launched a war against the Xiongnu, Beihu, and Donghu at the same time. With one careless move, he lost everything. I asked him to do it because I knew Meng Tian's situation, but when he did it himself, he made the decision without knowing anything about Meng Tian's situation.
As long as any of my "what should be" is true, it may lead to the defeat of Da Qin, which will cause a very serious blow to Da Qin.
There is also the matter of Zalut. As long as I left Shanggu County that day, when the northern tribes and the Xiongnu recovered, there was only a dead end waiting for Zalut, and Da Qin's plan in Beihu was in vain. However, since it was best for me to know about Zarut, I didn’t say anything about it.
"Wu Jian, I want you to understand two things."
"First, as a general, you must consider the overall situation and not just care about your own happiness. This time you and Meng Tian attack together, and you must cooperate with each other. You should know that Meng Tian is facing the threat of 190,000 Huns cavalry, and you should not attack him. If you make a mistake, you may ruin the Qin Dynasty's 200,000 soldiers. Rushing to attack the Wolf Court without confirming the battle situation here is not what a general should do;"
"Second, I said that I would grant you the power to act expediently, but I also said that it would only be limited to Liaodong and Liaoxi. Why would you think of commanding the border troops in Shanggu? Feng Youcheng has not received my order. Are you not afraid of Feng Youcheng? Pay attention to you? What should Beihu do then? This is not what a minister should do."
After I finished speaking, Wu Jian could not utter a single word and his face was red.
"General, I understand! Your Majesty!"
This statement is actually quite serious, short of directly saying that he is incompetent as a general and disloyal as a minister.
I looked at Meng Tian and the others and said, "Only a few of you heard what I said today. Wu Jian is still the hero after leaving the tent."
Meng Tian and others understood, bowed and said: "I understand."
Then I asked Meng Tian and others to retreat and walked to Wu Jian.
"Wu Jian, I hope you really understand what I said. I am not telling you this to ask you to report my decision in everything in the future. I want to tell you that you don't have to be brave in battle to be a good general. If it's because of me, , you will lose your spirit, and I will be very disappointed."
Wu Jian nodded heavily: "Your Majesty, I will understand that I will live up to your Majesty's expectations!"
"Okay, after Meng Tian finishes cleaning up the mess here, you can come back to Xianyang with me."
Then I ordered people to hurry up and send a secret letter to Zarut.
After reading the secret message, Zarut did not hesitate and immediately led the gathered cavalry to attack the Wanda tribe in the eastern part of the Xiongnu from the south, just missing the Hedu heading straight for the Wolf Court. They encountered little resistance along the way, and soon occupied the grassland a thousand miles south of Wolf Court.
Prairie Wolf Court.
Heda looked at the ruins of Wolf Court, but his expression became more fierce, without the confusion he had when he was defeated.
He knew he couldn't stay here any longer. Touman Chanyu didn't know whether he was dead or alive. The Chanyu's troops and horses were all lost. When the leaders of the four major tribes knew the news, there was no way for him to survive. Besides, he still had an older brother...
But what he didn't know yet was that Multie and Wandayuan had died at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.
Just when he was hesitating where to go, Hedu had already arrived!
Seeing the scene in front of him, Hedu couldn't help but laugh out loud. Wolf Court was captured, Touman Chanyu must be dead, and even Heda had washed his neck and was waiting for him here, who else would take the place of this Chanyu!
Sha Linmu also suppressed the smile in his heart, his face was stern, and when he opened his mouth, he poured dirty water on Heda.
"Prince Heda, I didn't expect you to commit such an act of killing your father and brother. Today, the leader of Hedu and I will avenge Shanyu!"
Heda looked ferocious and said sternly: "Sha Linmu! Don't spit on anyone! I just arrived here. Langting was captured by the Qin army, and my father's body was not seen. My father was so talented that he could not be killed!" The three thousand people behind me can all testify!”
Hedu was also shocked, the body without Touman Shanyu? That would be difficult to do. If Touman Chanyu is really not dead, where can I find him? But now, if he retreats privately, there is no way Touman Chanyu will spare him.
His heart skipped a beat and he sneered: "I also want to ask Prince Heda. You brought 50,000 fine cavalry, but now you only have 3,000. Where are the rest? Could it be that you colluded with the Qin people?"
Heda was furious: "Heduye, I knew you were coveting the position of Chanyu. Stop talking nonsense. What do you want?"
Just as Hedu was about to speak, a scout suddenly rushed over: "Report! Chief, the south of the grassland was suddenly occupied by Beihu. They suppressed them all the way, supplemented by buying large amounts of food to bribe various tribes, and now they have occupied a thousand miles in radius! "
Several people were shocked, and Hedu frowned and said, "Are you sure? Where did Beihu get so much food? Isn't Er'er attacking Donghu?"
Several people have been near Yinshan Mountain and have no idea what happened.
"Going back to the leader, Beihu'er and Donghu Titomu'er's 100,000-strong army have been defeated by the Qin army. Two people were killed. The new leader of Beihu turned out to be Zalut, the first warrior of Donghu! And there are rumors that Mu'er and The entire army of 70,000 elite cavalry, amounting to two units, was wiped out!"
The eyes of the three people in Hedu almost popped out. What's going on? It’s only been a month, so much has happened?
Heda heard this and immediately began to fight back.
"Hedu! You retreated without authorization and wiped out the entire two armies of Mu'er. What crime do you deserve!"
Hedu also opened his mouth. He did not expect that the consequences of his retreat would be so serious. The original plan was to wait for him to sit on the position of Chanyu. Naturally, there were countless ways to make Multie and Wandayuan obedient, but it was not to completely eliminate them. In that case, even if he became a Chanyu, he would not be able to compete with the Qin Dynasty or even the Hu people.
Hedu also gradually calmed down from the craze of being a Chanyu.
"Prince Heda, let's not talk about the right or wrong of this matter for now. Now the Chanyu is missing and the south is also occupied by Beihu. Why don't we retreat to the north first and make plans after finding the Chanyu!"
Heda had no choice but to agree, otherwise he would die here on the spot.
Then several people went to the north with their soldiers and horses.
Shalinmu approached Hedu and said, "Brother Hedu, keeping him here may be a disaster."
Hedu also sneered: "It doesn't matter, there is no news about Touman Shanyu now, so we shouldn't act rashly. Who knows if the old guy has any back-up plans? When he gets to our territory, what kind of trouble can he cause? Let's go back first and then do something else. Plan to avoid being plotted by the Qin people or the Hu people."
What he didn't know was that with this retreat, he would never have the chance to return to Wolf Court.
At this point, the war against the Huns and Huns came to an end!
