The wind is getting stronger on the grassland, which means that autumn is not far away.
In the large tent of the royal court, the great Dan Yu Yizhi sat at the head with his golden sword on his side.
Under his feet were nine seats covered with wolf skins, which looked very impressive.
There are also a dozen seats in the tent, where the heads of the major tribes under the Xiongnu headquarters sit.
The entire Xiongnu can be divided into three parts: left, middle and right. They are relatively independent and only unite during war.
Each branch of the headquarters under Yizhixie will meet once a month to summarize the migration, harvesting, etc. of each branch.
Before Qin, the Xiongnu were far less powerful than they are now. Linhu, Donghu, Quanrong, Shanrong, Dali and other tribes were much stronger than them.
It was not until the powerful leader of the Xiongnu, Maodun Shanyu, suddenly emerged, conquered other tribes, and completed the nominal power integration.
The Xiongnu became the common master of the grassland.
They redefined the sphere of influence of the grassland and established positions such as the left and right kings, the left and right kings of Guli, generals, captains of the capital, dadanghu, and gudhou.
The previously powerful tribes were either defeated and expelled, or surrendered and merged with the Huns. They accepted these new positions and became the feudal tribes and peripheral barriers of the Huns.
At this time, Yi Zhi glanced at everyone in the headquarters and said:
"Although there was a war in the spring and summer this year due to provocation by the Han people, the subsequent harvest was better than expected. No matter how strong the wind this winter is, it will not have much impact on the various ministries."
"The Great Chanyu said it well, all parts of our grassland are blessed by the shaman god, and the water and grass will be abundant day by day, and they will surely flourish for a long time."
Yi Zhi looked sideways and said, "What else do the ministries have to say?"
"We were attacked by the Han before, and only some of them were weak and had their hands cut off to survive. These people's ability to work has been greatly reduced, they have actually become useless, and there are not a few in number. How do you think the Great Chanyu should deal with them?" An old Huns man said, Sitting in the second seat from the lower right of Yizhi Xian.
"This is a vicious plan by the Han people to weaken the Huns."
Sitting on the lower left side of Yizhi is a young man with a majestic body and dark eyes.
He was wearing a leather robe, with one shoulder exposed outside the leather robe, and his muscles seemed to contain terrifying power that could destroy everything.
His hands and legs are also exceptionally broad and strong, his face is square and his cheekbones are high, giving him the impression of being as solid as cast iron.
This young man respected Yi Zhixie as his father, but he was actually his adopted son, named Langduo.
His bravery ranks first among all Xiongnu tribes, and his natural strength is endless.
When he was less than 20 years old, he observed wolves and eagles hunting, and created the technique of wolf and eagle attack. Not only did his own martial arts shine, but he also trained his troops with it.
As a result, Yizhixie became more and more valued, and he accumulated merit and became the commander-in-chief of his headquarters.
Today, Rondo is exactly twenty-six years old.
During the recent Battle of Dingxiangbei, he followed the example of Yudu, who was regarded as a divine general by the Huns, and went to the Cold Ice Lake further north of the prairie alone to seek a breakthrough in his personal cultivation, and did not follow the army south.
At this time, he was sitting with Yi Zhi's head tilted down, his eyes stern, and a cold smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth:
"The Han people are no match for our Xiongnu troops. They will only use despicable means and leave some weak people behind after sneak attacks, hoping to consume our Xiongnu troops."
Previously, the Great Chanyu had ordered that these useless people who were unable to work should be put to death, and the women should be left to give birth.
"Commander Yin Tuo, haven't you killed these people yet?"
The old man frowned and said: "There are not a few of these people, and there are many relatives of the leaders of each department. Have you killed all the people in your department? Y."
Rondo said of course: "The elimination of the weak is the law of the prairie, just like the grassland regains its vitality after it dies. If the weak are not eliminated, how can we gain new life?"
"Kill these weaklings, and if you have the chance, go south, plunder the population and then repopulate it."
Yi Zhi glanced sideways and continued:
"There are people within the Han people who have been in contact with me. They just sent news not long ago, saying that there will be a turmoil at the border. I have ordered people to pay attention to changes in the Han border. If there is any change, I will immediately send orders to all ministries to go south again. "
Then he looked at the corner of the tribe and said: "Xin Zhao, you first lead a group of soldiers and horses, and according to the strategy you proposed before, spread out in small groups and go to the Han border."
Rondo looked at Xin Zhao: "I will send a thousand cavalry under my command to go with you."
Zhao Xin's head trembled slightly, knowing that Lang Duo couldn't trust him and sent someone to monitor his actions.
He is a general who returned after surrendering to the Han Dynasty. Letting him lead troops south is also a test, similar to submitting a certificate of honor.
Xin Zhao hurriedly stood up and said: "Why don't you, General Rondo, lead the army? I am willing to follow and serve."
"Seeing that autumn is already less than a month old, I am heading south now as a frontline army to explore the situation at the Han border."
Lang Duo said in a deep voice: "If something unexpected happens in the Han Dynasty, as the news received by the Great Chanyu is true, it will be worthwhile for us to send troops again. Otherwise, raising troops twice a year will only increase consumption."
"The current situation is uncertain. How can I personally lead the troops south?"
Yi Zhi waved his hand and said, "Xin Zhao, go ahead."
It had been several days since Huo Qubing left Chang'an. The team headed north and left Shangjun. It was still two days away from the border fortress at the northern end of Shuofang.
His team is lightly armed and simple, consisting of a total of twelve elite soldiers of the Forbidden Army, and a secret reconnaissance team dispatched by Gui Xiaoying to deliver news from various places.
As night fell, the team set up camp near the mountain.
After passing Shangjun, in the barren mountains, the roar of beasts can be heard from time to time.
After the team set up camp on the hillside, a mist filled the area and obscured the area where the camp was located.
Guardsmen were spread out to guard the area.
Huo Qubing was in the middle of the team, sitting on a large raised bluestone, with Xiong San and Xiao Ying beside him on the left and right.
He is trying to promote the magical power of military strategy in the Sea of Knowledge War Book.
His knowledge of sea warfare has changed in the past few days, and his battle plans are connected with each other and their power is superimposed.
At this time, the plan in the military manual glowed faintly, and the camp was obscured by a force of energy, as if it had disappeared.
When he switched to pushing something out of nothing, the team seemed to appear out of nowhere.
The entire camp seemed to be covered in a mist, appearing and disappearing at times, unpredictable.
Huo Qubing secretly thought that reviving the soul through the corpse was a natural beauty trap, which more affected the consciousness of the soul.
Concealing the sky and creating something out of nothing are more suitable for marching, and the energy can change according to one's will.
After these strategies are superimposed, the power increases significantly, and the area covered, the number of people, and the duration of the effect are all increased.
Huo Qubing's thoughts rose and fell, and he breathed in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Xiong San sat cross-legged next to him, while Xiao Ying on the other side watched in a daze as Xiong San took out bunches of grapefruit one after another and ate them carefully, even the cores.
Xiao Ying swallowed and spat: "This Attendant of Huo Hou, where did your fruit come from?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong San changed his direction and turned sideways to face him, as if he was afraid that he would ask for the fruit and did not intend to pay attention to him.
But another voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Ying's ears: "When she left Chang'an, she packed two large packages, which were full of various kinds of food."
The voice sounded slightly older.
Xiao Ying was shocked when he heard the sound. He turned to look at Huo Qubing. Just as he was about to speak, he found a hand sticking out of the air beside Xiong San. His palm spread out and then tightened. He looked at Xiong San as if he were taking something from a distance, and there was an extra one in his hand.氰子 fruit.
Xiong San was shocked. He covered his sleeves and glared at the protruding hand: "You stole something."
Xiao Ying was stunned.
That hand is actually Tao Zun, hiding in the pocket of supernatural power that came out of nothing, and went to Beiguan together.
Xiong San gasped for a long time, then he changed his attention when he heard the howling of wolves in the distance, and said: "There are many wild wolves in this wilderness, and the howling makes people panic."
"Don't worry, although there are not many of us, the wild wolf can feel the murderous intent in the old soldier and will never dare to come over easily. Xiao Yingdao."
Xiong San blinked: "That's a shame, I haven't eaten wolf meat yet."
f.....
Xiao Ying was stunned for a moment.
Several people around him were talking in low voices, and Huo Qubing kept his eyes lightly closed.
In his sea of consciousness, the aura between the Soaring Snake and the Spirit Turtle absorbed from the well, and the Ajna Qi Pill developed by him has reached the stage of taking shape again.
It won't be long before he can try to break through the realm of heaven and man.
The third weapon talisman in the sea of consciousness is also continuing to change, with a faint edge and fighting spirit that seems to exceed Xuanwu...
As the sky dimmed, the team set off again.
August 16th.
Jilusai in Shuofang County, an important town in Beiguan, appeared far away at the end of everyone's sight.
The terrain of Jilusai is in the shape of a canyon, running from north to south.
It is adjacent to the Great Wall of Han Dynasty in the north and is the gateway to the northwest.
The fortress was built on the cliff, made of stone, in a square shape, standing on the west side of the gorge mouth, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In the fortress, generals from all sides of the Han Dynasty gathered here one after another.
In the official post at Jilusai, Wei Qinggang formally announced to the generals his decision to attack the Huns again.
Some generals who had just been recruited in the past few days were shocked when they heard this.
Gongsun Ao, Gongsun He, Su Jian, Li Ju and Zhang Cigong were all there.
Veteran Li Guang is also there.
Huainan has now been relieved of its military front, leaving only two counties. Emperor Wu ordered Liu An, the king of Huainan, and his son to choose a day to go to Chang'an to meet the saint.
After the military preparations were lifted, Li Guang was transferred to Beiguan.
When the generals were recruited to Beiguan, they were vaguely aware that something big was going to happen. But when they heard the news officially and knew that they would attack the Huns again, they suddenly felt excited.
There was silence in the hall.
The generals almost subconsciously looked at Wei Qing's lower right figure, the figure in bright silver armor who had just arrived at Jilu Sai yesterday.
Wei Qing just said that he would attack the Xiongnu again, which was Huo Qubing's suggestion.
Two Huns emerged in two months!
Crazy and daring.
Of course, if it succeeds, this battle will definitely become a surprise attack to defeat the enemy, which will be enough to push Huo Qubing's reputation to a new high and shock the world again!
All the generals are well-versed in warfare. When they first heard about the accident, they calmed down a little and thought about the pros and cons, and then slowly realized that this was an excellent fighting opportunity.
He is only seventeen. The first thing that veteran Li Guang thought of was Huo Qubing's age.
Suddenly there was a fear of being beaten to death on the beach by the back waves.
"I, Li Guang, would like to be the vanguard in the fight against the Huns. I ask the general for permission." Li Guang has been keen on asking for battles recently, which is not surprising to everyone.
Wei Qing glanced at Li Guang.
He also believed that Li Guang was good at defending but not good at attacking.
And before the war, when I talked with my nephew Huo Qubing about the arrangements of the various military generals, for some unknown reason, the nephew strongly opposed Li Guang's participation in the thousands-mile attack.
"General Li Guang's defense of the city is unshakable. It would be better for him to stay and guard our important town of Beiguan this time." Wei Qing said.
Li Guang said anxiously: "General, wait a minute. In the past, I defended more and attacked less, but I really didn't have the chance to show off. If you allow me to lead the troops to attack, I will definitely let the general know how powerful I, Li Guang, am in commanding the troops."
"I beg the general to give me a chance. If I can't win, I'm willing to come and see you."
It’s hard to say whether your military strength will be strong or not, but you are determined to get lost and are asked to run thousands of miles. I’m afraid you really have to raise your head to meet... Huo Qubing said: "General Li doesn't know something. Although the mission of this attack is heavy, .But it’s also important to stay in Beiguan.”
"After we go, Beiguan may not be stable. Only General Li can handle the important task of defending the city."
Li Guang was dubious: "Seriously?"
Huo Qubing nodded: "It's absolutely true."
Li Guang hesitated for a long time: "But I still want to fight the assault!"
Wei Qing ignored him and said: "Our army has made all preparations. The most important thing for this battle is speed."
Now we will start assigning leading tasks to each department, and you can prepare on your own.
"Qu Bing will lead the troops as the vanguard and bring 10,000 elite troops to go ahead. I will personally lead the main force of 30,000 troops and advance with them."
After Wei Qing finished speaking, he looked at Huo Qubing and said solemnly: "The important thing about this march is to respond to the front and rear. Qubing, you must remember not to command ten thousand people and attack the Huns' tent first."
When the generals saw Wei Qing's solemn words, they couldn't help but feel strange.
If other generals dared to attack the Huns' tent with ten thousand people, everyone would think it was a joke.
But the man in front of me dared to attack the Xiongnu rear with less than a thousand men last time, and was able to escape unscathed.
If Wei Qing didn't give special instructions, Huo Qubing's marching strategy would be really unpredictable.
Two days later, night came quietly, the gates of Jilu Fortress were wide open, and a team blended into the night, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and left the fortress.
Ps: Please give me a vote, I'm already working hard to update, these chapters need to be fought, and the layout needs to be more detailed.
