Mogan River Valley, one hundred and twenty miles north.
Tens of thousands of Huns cavalry, waving their whips, galloped across the endless prairie.
The rumble of horse hooves shook the ground.
Countless weak creatures living on the grass were running for their lives amidst the rumble of horse hooves.
Of course.
Once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.
Under the iron hooves of tens of thousands of Hun cavalry, countless weak creatures could only turn into a pool of blood and mud.
Eventually it was buried deep in the soil, never to be seen again.
Tens of thousands of Huns cavalry walked and stopped, and finally dismounted as the sun was about to set.
And countless snow-white tents were set up on the endless prairie.
As the smoke rose, the prairie, which had been quiet for an unknown amount of time, suddenly heard bursts of noise.
Of course.
Among the noise, there is a piece of pure land.
Although the pure land is surrounded by noise, there is not a trace of noise.
A huge snow-white tent is located in the center of the "Pure Land".
Hundreds of armored Huns holding sharp knives were constantly wandering around the snow-white tent.
A lifelike blue wolf howling at the moon flag slowly fluttered in the wind on a wooden pole next to the snow-white tent.
Inside the snow-white tent.
A middle-aged man in blue brocade clothes sat at the top, holding a palm-sized dagger and slowly cutting the mutton in front of him.
While cutting, he put it into a beautiful disk in front of him.
After a while.
"Please, General Lu."
The middle-aged man in brocade clothes slowly handed the exquisite porcelain plate filled with mutton in front of him to the middle-aged man wearing bright armor next to him.
Different from the middle-aged man in brocade clothes, the middle-aged man in Mingguang armor has an authentic Central Plains face.
"Thank you, King Zuogu Li, for your kindness."
The middle-aged man in Mingguang armor cupped his fists and saluted, then took the exquisite porcelain plate filled with mutton with both hands.
Then he picked up a pair of long ivory chopsticks, picked up a piece of fully cooked mutton, dipped it in the salt crystals briefly, and then couldn't wait to put the mutton into his mouth.
After chewing it carefully.
The middle-aged man whom King Zuo Guli called General Lu praised: "The sheep in autumn are indeed extremely fat."
King Zuo Guli looked at the Zhou surrendered general named Lu Zhongyi in front of him, chuckled and teased: "Is it just the autumn sheep that are fat?"
"Of course not." Lu Zhongyi shook his head when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Without your superb craftsmanship, King Zuo Guli, no matter how fat the sheep are, they will be boring."
"You, you, are still so eloquent." King Zuo Guli chuckled and shook his head, and then used his dagger to cut off a piece of mutton that was still stained with blood.
After simply dipping the salt crystals, put it in your mouth and chew it slowly.
After the mutton enters the belly.
King Zuo Guli picked up the wine bowl, stretched out his hand and gestured to Lu Zhongyi: "General Lu, please."
Lu Zhongyi picked up the wine bowl and said respectfully: "The last general respects King Zuo Guli."
The words are over.
A Xiongnu king named Zuo Guli, a general who surrendered to Zhou Dynasty, touched the wine bowls to each other and drank the wine in one gulp.
"In General Lu's opinion, has Li Guangli fallen into the trap at this time?"
King Zuo Guli put down the wine bowl in his hand, then straightened his face and asked in a deep voice.
After learning that Dazhou was about to send troops to Mobei.
King Zuo Guli took the initiative to ask for a battle with the Xiongnu Chanyu.
After getting permission from the Xiongnu royal court.
King Zuo Guli was about to get rid of King You Guli and lead his troops to the Yunzhong area.
I want the Zhou Dynasty to experience the fear brought by the Wolf Guard here after more than ten years.
This will make it easier for the Wolf Guard to avoid the shame of having no one of them.
Plus realize some ulterior plans.
Of course.
Just when he was about to send troops.
Lu Zhongyi, the military advisor of the new Wolf Guard, who was a general of the Zhou Dynasty, found the Chinese army's tent.
Instead of having a long conversation all night long.
After that long conversation all night long.
King Zuo Guli suppressed his mad and restless heart due to his eagerness for revenge.
King Zuo Guli, who calmed down a little, finally chose Lu Zhongyi's strategy.
First, although Lu Zhongyi was a surrendered general, he had a life-saving grace for him.
During the decisive battle in Mobei, if it hadn't been for the surrendered general Lu Zhongyi's full help.
There was no way he could escape from Zhao Qing's crazy siege.
As long as they can escape, let alone one of the ten wolf guards under his command, even if they all die in battle, so what?
As long as it is still alive, it can rebuild the Wolf Guard at any time.
Because of this, Lu Zhongyi's status in his heart is naturally self-evident.
Secondly, at that time, there was a vague tendency to split within the Huns due to the disagreement between the Great Chanyu and King Zuoxian.
After the once-in-a-century natural disaster last winter, two completely different voices emerged within the Xiongnu.
A group of princes and tribal leaders headed by the Xiongnu Chanyu advocated taking advantage of the great disaster in Guanzhong during the Great Zhou Dynasty to go south to the Central Plains.
A group of princes and tribal leaders headed by King Zuo Xian advocated attacking the west. After taking control of the Western Region, they gradually made plans for the Central Plains.
King Zuo Guli naturally supported the southward faction.
It is precisely because of this that he took the initiative to ask for a fight.
In his view, if this battle is a complete victory, the Western Attack faction headed by King Zuoxian will inevitably collapse.
At that time, he might be able to take over as King Zuoxian by virtue of his military exploits.
King Zuo Xian was equivalent to the prince of the Central Plains within the Xiongnu.
After Lao Danyu dies, he can take over the throne of Da Danyu as King Zuoxian.
It is precisely because of this that King Zuogu Li can only win, not lose, in this battle.
Thirdly, it must preserve a certain amount of strength to prepare for eventualities that are likely to occur in the future.
The so-called accident does not only refer to the possible deathbed counterattack by King Zuo Xian.
It also refers to the remnants of the Donghu who were destroyed in the past.
That is, the Xianbei tribe moved to the Xianbei Mountains.
As well as the Wuhuan tribe who moved to the Wuhuan Mountain area.
The two most inconspicuous small tribes in the Donghu Khanate at that time.
During the more than two hundred years when the Xiongnu and the Zhou Dynasty were fighting against each other, they had no time to care.
It has quietly developed into two behemoths.
Although after the decisive battle in Mobei, the Xiongnu took the initiative to show goodwill and alliance with Xianbei and Wuhuan.
But in King Zuogu Li's opinion, the reason why Xianbei and Wuhuan formed an alliance with the Xiongnu.
It was simply because Xianbei and Wuhuan did not have absolute confidence to annex the Xiongnu.
To use a Chinese saying, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!
But as King Zuo Guli, soon King Zuo Xian, and the future Great Chanyu of the Huns, he had to guard against Xianbei and Wuhuan.
Because of various reasons.
Therefore, King Zuogu Li finally chose to follow Lu Zhongyi's advice.
Win the battle with Li Guangli with minimal damage.
...
...
Inside the big snow-white tent.
After Lu Zhongyi pondered for a moment, he slowly smiled and said, "Don't worry, King Zuo Guli, Li Guangli must have fallen into the trap."
"Oh?" King Zuogu Li straightened up after hearing this, and then asked, "How can you see it?"
Lu Zhongyi smiled, and then slowly said: "There is an old saying in the Central Plains that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality."
"Since Li Guangli left the customs, all the tribes he met along the way were old, weak, women and children."
"And the tribes along the way have at least a few hundred cattle and sheep, and as many as a thousand cattle and sheep."
"After going back and forth like this for a month, it doesn't matter if Li Guangli is wary?"
"The soldiers under his command must have become accustomed to this effortless
The process of achieving military success. "
"Furthermore, during this process, his soldiers will inevitably become lazy."
The words are over.
Lawrence Lu picked up a piece of plump mutton and put the plump mutton into his mouth.
While savoring it slowly, he slowly said: "In addition, the battle three days ago may have made Li Guangli cautious, but it did not affect the overall situation."
"The army that won three days ago had more than 2,000 men."
"Those two thousand people are equivalent to our words."
"After those two thousand people boast about their great victory."
"It won't take long before the morale of Li Guangli's soldiers will be greatly improved."
"This leads to a feeling of underestimating the enemy."
The words are over.
Lu Zhongyi picked up the wine bowl on the small table and drank the newly filled wine in one gulp.
As the wine bowl was slowly put down, a look of satisfaction gradually appeared on Lu Zhongyi's face.
For someone like Lu Zhongyi who is only interested in profit.
As long as it is beneficial to himself, not to mention helping the Huns with advice, even if he is asked to personally lead troops to attack his mother country, or even kill his own family members with his own hands, he will never frown.
King Zuo Guli frowned and pondered for a moment when he heard this.
Although this was not the first time he heard Lu Zhongyi mention his plan.
But for some reason, every time he heard Lu Zhongyi mention it, King Zuo Guli would feel shuddering in his heart.
But, isn't what he needs most at this time a poisonous person like Lu Zhongyi?
After a while.
King Zuo Guli laughed heartily and said: "High! High! High! General Lu is really high!"
With that said, King Zuo Guli raised the wine jar and laughed heartily again: "I would like to give General Lu a drink!"
The words are over.
King Zuo Guli suddenly stood up, raised the wine jar in his hand, raised his head and drank the full jar of wine in one gulp.
"happy!"
"Snapped!"
King Zuo Guli shouted and threw the empty wine jar aside.
"King Zuo Guli has a great capacity for drinking!"
"I will accompany you!"
Upon seeing this, Lawrence Lu immediately opened a jar of wine, stood up and drank!
Tens of breaths later.
Lu Zhongyi pointed the mouth of the altar downward, signaling to King Zuo Guli that the wine was dry.
"Hahaha, General Lu is also a good drinker." King Zuo Guli said with a hearty laugh.
After he finished speaking, King Zuo Guli's blushing face suddenly straightened up.
Then he stared into Lu Zhongyi's eyes with great sincerity.
He spoke word by word: "General Lu, if you win this battle, I will personally come to the royal court and ask the Great Chanyu to make you the king!"
I heard the word "Feng Wang".
A look of ecstasy flashed across Lu Zhongyi's eyes.
"I will thank King Zuo Guli for your love!"
"I will only obey the orders of King Zuo Guli in this life!"
"King Zuo Guli asked the last general to go east! The last general will never go west!"
Lu Zhongyi composed himself, hurriedly and solemnly clasped his fists in salute, and then showed his loyalty.
"Hahaha." King Zuogu Li laughed heartily and said, "This king has just one general, General Lu, as if he had ten thousand wolf guards!"
For a time, bursts of hearty laughter erupted from time to time in the big snow-white tent.
It's really a good time.
When night falls quietly.
Lu Zhongyi, who was full of alcohol and drunk with Feng Wang Changxiang, was helped out of the snow-white tent by two wolf guards.
Inside the big snow-white tent.
After Lu Zhongyi’s figure completely disappeared.
King Zuo Guli, who was lying drunkenly on the small wooden table and snoring loudly, suddenly straightened up slowly.
At this time, King Zuogu Li looked slightly drunk except for his slightly red complexion.
King Zuo Guli stood up slowly, and then walked towards the map hanging on the side with an expressionless face.
After standing in front of the map for a long time, he suddenly pulled out his sword from his waist.
The cold blade circled several times over the Mogan River Valley and then pointed sharply at the location of King Zuo Xian on the map.
The blade circled for several times from where King Zuo Xian was and then began to move slowly.
Finally, it stopped at the palace of the Huns.
King Zuo Guli held a sword with an expressionless face and pointed it at the court of the Huns.
No one knows what he is thinking at this moment, and no one knows what he is planning at this moment.
I do not know how long it has been.
The cold sword in King Zuo Guli's hand slowly moved again.
The cold blade finally hovered between Xianbei Mountain and Wuhuan Mountain.
"Those idiots will give you the time and opportunity to reproduce and even grow, but I, Jordan, will not do that."
"There is an old saying from the Central Plains people."
"The outside of Xiang must be settled inside first. After I chop off Li Guangli's head and completely take over the Xiongnu tribe."
"It's your turn!"
King Zuo Guli said slowly with a slightly ferocious expression.
The words are over.
King Zuo Guli's eyes slowly moved to the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the map.
"Child Zhengde, you won't be unhappy if I put you last, right?"
King Zuo Guli stared at the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty and spoke slowly.
The words trailed off.
The sword in the hand of King Zuo Guli slowly moved from between Xianbei Mountain and Wuhuan Mountain to the location of Chang'an City, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
From this moment on, his originally slightly ferocious expression became completely ferocious.
This shows how deep his hatred for the Great Zhou Dynasty was.
I do not know how long it has been.
King Zuo Guli once again moved the sword in his hand to the sky above the Mogan River Valley.
"My king's great career begins here."
"Li Guangli? Oh, your father is not my opponent yet, why are you trying to talk to you?"
King Zuo Guli said slowly with disdain.
In fact, the Mogan River Valley was not only the place chosen by Li Guangli to set up camp.
It was the burial place chosen by King Zuo Guli and Lu Zhongyi together.
...
...
As the night gets darker.
The stars above the Mobei grassland are becoming increasingly bright.
Mogan River Valley, more than eighty miles south of the Great Zhou Camp.
The celebration banquet at this time had just ended.
The camp was filled with the smoke of charcoal fires and the aroma of beef and mutton.
Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Li Guangli sat in the top position with a reddish complexion.
Below it, generals in various colors of clothing lay huddled on the desks, snoring extremely wantonly.
Li Guangli clapped his hands slightly to call for his personal guards, and then said, "Send all the generals back to camp to rest."
After a while.
The Chinese army's tent, which was snoring so loudly, completely restored its previous quietness and solemnity.
"Brother Zhanying." Li Guangli stood up slowly and looked at Wei Guogong Gu Zhanying who was also not very drunk next to him.
Then he continued to ask: "How are things arranged?"
Gu Zhanying slowly stood up and clasped his fists in salute, saying, "General, the arrangements have been made."
"That's good, that's good." Li Guangli murmured in a low voice after hearing the words.
