Mobei grassland.
Maodun Shanyu was also a little irritable. He kept fighting. He had not been able to get a good night's sleep for a long time. The army of Tu Yu behind him was like a gangrene in the tarsus. Before I even closed my eyes, the sound of fighting outside started again.
The long and intense battle left him unshaven, his eyes bloodshot, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
"Where are the reinforcements from Da Qin now?"
Modun steeled himself, held on to a simple grassland map on the desk, and looked at King Zuo Guli, who also had an unshaven beard and a haggard look on his face.
King Zuo Guli’s voice was a little hoarse.
He put his hand on his chest and bowed to salute.
"Back to the king, according to the information from the spies, the reinforcements from the Qin people are already on the way. In about two days, they will cross the Baidaochuan River and reach us..."
When Mao Dun heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited.
This was the best news he had heard in this period of time.
"Do you know who is leading the army?"
"It is said that he is a famous general of the Qin Dynasty, Su Jiao who guards Jiuyuan."
After hearing this, Mao Dun nodded, got up and turned around twice excitedly, and then returned to the tables in the middle of the military tent, looking at the route of the Tu Yu tribe's advance marked on the map.
"This Yu from the Tuyu tribe is so ambitious that he obviously wants to drive us to the foot of Yin Mountain and catch us all."
Speaking of this, Mao Dun's eyes burst into flames and he punched the map in front of him heavily.
"This thief bullies people too much. He is not afraid of bursting his stomach due to his excessive appetite! Even if I suffered several defeats at his hands, I still have hundreds of thousands of Huns warriors under his command. How dare he bully me like this?" The situation!"
Having said this, Mao Dun gritted his teeth and stood up.
"Give me the order. Tomorrow, the entire army of King Yougu Li will press forward. Even if we fight to the death of one soldier, we will not be allowed to retreat even half a step. We must use the momentum of the Huns in this battle!"
After receiving the order, King Zuo Guli couldn't help but trembled in his heart when he heard this, but he hesitated after all.
"Your Majesty, with this arrangement, King Yougu Li's troops may suffer heavy losses, and he may not be willing to step forward..."
Mao Dun sneered.
"Now, since we started fighting with the Tu Yu tribe, we have had dozens of small and large battles. All the tribes under his command have suffered heavy losses. Only his tribe led by King Yougu Li has the most complete strength. If he doesn't go to war, what on earth is he going to do? …”
Seeing the murderous intention hidden in his Shanyu's eyes, King Zuo Guli sighed secretly in his heart. He knew that King Youguli's way of conserving his strength during this period had completely angered his Shanyu. If he didn't do anything this time, he might be dead. It's going to be trouble.
He didn't dare to persuade him about this kind of thing.
The only way is to find a way to persuade the old fox, King Youguli.
He lowered his head and bowed.
"Yes, I will go and make arrangements now..."
After King Zuo Guli finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go out.
Modun suddenly sighed and said to King Zuo Guli who was about to walk out of the tent.
"It's not that I'm being ungrateful and want to use this against him, Antu, regardless of my former brotherhood, but the reinforcements from the Qin Dynasty are coming soon. In this battle, no matter we win or lose, we must display the momentum of my Xiongnu man. Otherwise, we will definitely We will be underestimated by the Qin people. With the greedy temperament of the Qin people, they don’t know how to raise prices and take greater benefits from us..."
King Zuo Guli paused slightly.
Maodun said again behind him.
"Go here and tell Brother Antu that after this battle, the most fertile grassland of Tugel's army will be his! In addition, I will double the manpower he lost in this battle and I will never break my promise!"
King Zuo Guli turned around and returned the greeting.
"Promise! If I go here, I will definitely convince King Yougu Li!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
Looking at the retreating figure of King Zuogu Li, Maodun Shanyu's eyes were gloomy and he remained silent for a long time.
I would rather live next door than with my brothers!
On the grassland, there can only be one king of the Huns. This time, even if most of the grassland is ceded, the Tuyu tribe must be completely crippled, and those who dare to covet their king will pay a heavy price!
…
Slaughter the rest of the tribe.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, Xiang Yu, wearing a felt hat and leather armor, was sitting on a couch covered with a white tiger skin. In front of him was a red-hot stove, which was heating the most intense heat on the grassland. of kumiss.
"... General, you need to know that the trapped beast is still fighting. Mao Dun still has at least hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. If he counterattacks with all his strength, we will be in great trouble. It is better to surround three and one is missing and give way to the north..."
After hearing about Xiang Yu's actions on the front line, Cao Shen, who was helping Xiang Yu stabilize the rear and supervise the provisions, rushed to the army in person, trying to persuade Xiang Yu to change his crazy idea of driving Maodun to the foot of Yinshan Mountain and annihilating them all in one battle. .
Hearing this, Xiang Yu smiled and picked up the wine glass in front of him.
"Sir, you've come a long way and it's been a hard journey. Don't say these disappointing words. Why don't you sit down and have a drink with me..."
Cao Shen:......
"General..."
Cao Shen wanted to say more, but Xiang Yu had already shaken his head decisively.
"I already know the purpose of your visit, sir, no need to say more! I know this battle well in my mind. Sir, there is no need to worry about it. If you, sir, are not in a hurry to go back, you might as well stay here for a while and see how I can kill the general, seize the flag, and capture Maodun alive." !”
Cao Shen could only sit down with a wry smile.
He had been getting along with Xiang Yu for a long time, and he knew the general's temperament. He was arrogant and high-minded. Once he made a decision, even ten horses could not pull him back.
Fortunately, he is extremely brave and capable of leading troops, which is worthy of his arrogance.
Over the past few days, almost every battle has been won.
"General, why are you determined to do this? Can you explain it to me?"
When Xiang Yu saw Cao Shen sit down as he was told and no longer asked him to surround him, he smiled, picked up the jug he was sitting on, poured a cup of hot kumiss for Cao Shen himself, and then picked up the short knife beside him. , cut a piece of the fattest mutton for Cao Shen.
"Sir, you might as well try this. Although the conditions on this grassland are difficult, the roasted mutton has a unique flavor..."
Cao Shen thanked him, then took the mutton handed over by Xiang Yu and took a delicious bite.
Immediately, my mouth was filled with oil. I just felt that it was tender, smooth and delicious, and not fishy. I couldn't help but praise it.
"Sure enough, it's delicious in the world..."
After saying that, he felt a little puzzled.
"I was supervising food and grass for the general back there, and I also ate this kind of roasted lamb. Why is it that the mutton here is so delicious..."
Xiang Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Sir, have you ever heard of General Tu?"
Cao Shen said somewhat unexpectedly.
"Could these delicacies be related to General Tu?"
Xiang Yu laughed.
"Before, I didn't know that General Tu had such a skill. One time, I happened to meet him drinking and eating meat with several of his scouts. I was invited to have a taste. Only then did I know that he also learned from His Highness the Emperor Changsun. While I was learning how to roast mutton, I shamelessly asked for the recipe..."
Only then did Cao Shen suddenly realize.
"I was talking about how this taste tastes so familiar. When you said that, I remembered that I had eaten it once before at the emperor's grandson's house!"
Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson is truly a genius. He can do anything. He can even make this roasted mutton, which is a hundred times more delicious than others. I really don't know what else he can't do..."
When Xiang Yu heard this, the movements of his hands could not help but stagnate slightly, and then he nodded silently.
"Your Highness is indeed unfathomable..."
Although he was far away from Xianyang, he still remembered the horror of being dominated by the emperor's grandson when he was in Xianyang.
In terms of military strategy, strength, and martial arts, these things that he was most proud of were almost worthless in front of the emperor's eldest grandson, and were completely crushed.
He still remembered that His Highness the Emperor Changsun took action with all his strength.
With his own martial arts skills, he couldn't block his blow!
He silently picked up the porcelain bowl in front of him and drank the kumiss in one gulp.
"The emperor's eldest son, Sun Yong, is the leader of the three armies. He is invincible. You are a great talent. Do you know why your highness did not go to the grassland to conquer the Huns in person, but specifically asked me to compete with Mao Dun in the name of slaughtering the remaining troops..."
When Cao Shen heard this, he couldn't help but pause slightly in his hand movements and shook his head gently.
"Perhaps His Highness, as the eldest grandson of the Emperor, should not move lightly..."
Xiang Yu shook his head.
"I dare not speculate rashly on His Highness's intentions, but now I am sweeping across the grassland, fighting like wolves, and my strength is increasing day by day. I have nearly 100,000 elite soldiers under my command, dozens of tribes, and countless livestock and horses. The Overlord of the Grassland..."
Having said this, Xiang Yu stood up in person and filled another glass of wine for Cao Shen.
"Yu's strength is already close to the limit of human beings. If I listen to Sir's words, cherish the tribes under me, adopt the strategy of surrounding three and missing one, and boldly go northward, what will His Highness think of me? If His Highness is angry, Sir, I think... Can Yu block the attack from His Highness?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Shen suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiang Yu, who had a calm gaze.
"She underestimated the general. The general can use his troops like a god. He can win every battle and attack everything. He is indeed a man of great wisdom. If the general has this intention, his achievements in the future will surely be limitless..."
Xiang Yu raised his glass with a wry smile, touched it lightly with Cao Shen, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Yu, I once had no children left, until I met the emperor's eldest grandson, I realized that there is a sky outside the world, and there are people outside the world..."
For a moment, it was difficult to hide the look of loneliness in his eyes.
"If you give birth to Ying, how can you give birth to feathers?"
…
The two of them were drinking in the big tent when they suddenly felt the earth shaking under their feet. They looked at each other and put down their glasses together. The look of disappointment on Xiang Yu's face was instantly wiped away, and he stood up suddenly.
"I didn't expect that Mao Dun'er, who still has some blood, dared to attack on his own in such a field!"
Having said this, Xiang Yu strode out.
"Sir, please sit here and watch me trap the enemy in battle, kill the enemy chief, and serve you wine!"
Outside the tent, Cao Shen watched Xiang Yu holding a halberd in his hand, jumping on his horse, leading his men and horses, and whizzing away without looking back. He couldn't help but have a hint of admiration in his eyes.
If there were no eldest grandson of the emperor, in terms of heroes in the world, this person would be number one.
…
"There is no hero in the world who made Zhuzi famous!"
Western Region.
Liu Ji has been hiding in Qiuci City and rarely goes out. At this time, the 6,000-strong army that Lu Wan and his men had cobbled together had arrived at the junction of Qiuci Kingdom and Wusun.
From here, go over another mountain and you will see the tents of the Wusun people.
In the military tent, Liu Bang's face was flushed, he was holding a wine glass and he was in high spirits.
"Han Xin was just a humble settler in Huaiyin. Now he is famous all over the world, and he was granted the title of Marquis due to his merits. Today, our time has come. We should let the world know that the power of you and my brothers is not just a thing in the pool." !”
After saying that, drink it all in one gulp.
Ni squinted his eyes, looking at Lu Wan who was obviously nervous, and did not forget to cheer him up.
"Look at how coward you are, what's there to be afraid of? If you do this well, our brothers will become famous all over the world, and we might even become marquises! By then, what do you want, wine and beauty? If you come back When we get to Surabaya, not to mention Wang’s wife, I’m afraid even the county magistrate’s grandson will have to come over to pay his respects!”
Lu Wan felt a little guilty.
"Brother, is that thing really possible?"
Liu Ji couldn't help but spit.
"Of course it can be done! After eating this bowl of wine, you and your brothers will set off overnight to pick up Wusun's lair!"
Having said this, Liu Bang patted Lu Wan on the shoulder with great momentum.
"Good brother, don't worry. I have put all the elites of Great Qin in your hands. Even if I lose, I can bring you back safely! Just fight bravely in the front, and I will support you behind you. It’s absolutely foolproof. It’s today that you and I can become generals and marquises in the future!”
Only then did Lu Wan feel relieved, picked up the wine bowl in front of her and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he slapped it on several cases.
With red eyes, he stood up.
"People die and birds look up to the sky! Brother, you are not afraid, and I have nothing to be afraid of. I will risk my life today and fight with you!"
After speaking, he strode out.
"Everyone, stand up for me. If anyone messes up my affairs, I will chop off your heads!"
After saying that, he immediately climbed onto the horse first.
"Set off!"
Lu Wan is also a bachelor. At this time, he is no longer nervous. It's just a group fight. It's not like he has never fought before! It's amazing to run away, the Dawan horse from the Western Regions under his lap is not a vegetarian!
…
The Western Region is only a small area in total, and there are many small countries. It is difficult to hide any information from each other. What's more, Liu Bang, a ruthless man who dared to lead dozens of people to the Wusun envoy camp and fight for his life, made such a big move?
Therefore, when his army moves, the people on Wusun's side will know about it.
The army was prepared early and guarded behind the steep Wuling between Qiuci and Wusun. If they weren't afraid of sending troops too early and scaring Liu Bang back, they would have crossed Wuling long ago and taught the hateful Qin people a profound lesson.
at this time.
Wusun Camp.
A man with a deep scar between his eyebrows and a rough appearance is asking the general Morodan who is taking charge this time to fight.
"...Liu Ji is just a drunken and lecherous despicable person. He dares to provoke me, Wusun. He is simply reckless! General, give me 3,000 troops. I will send troops immediately and hold their camp overnight. , come see me with the head of that thief!"
