The moonlight is like silver, and the stars reflect the lake.
Bai Nanyu jumped into the lake like a mermaid, and her white body seemed to blend with the lake water and disappear.
Not far away, the three bears were eating fruit with their heads down, their cheeks bulging, and they occasionally glanced around vigilantly, like a fat mole.
She was fulfilling her role as a lookout post very competently. After all, she had to be responsible for eating other people's food.
Xiong San turned a blind eye to Bai Nanyu in the lake, only occasionally glancing at her with a look of contempt.
This woman looks really cumbersome, chubby, and far inferior to her own stoutness.
Bai Nanyu washed herself for a long time before getting out of the water, using her energy to steam away the water stains on her body.
She took out a new dress from a storage device she carried with her and put it on, covering her alluring figure. Then he pulled his hair behind his head and passed it through with a wooden hairpin.
"Let's go." Bai Nanyu said softly to Xiong San.
Xiong San glanced at the lake, which was as clear as a mirror and reflected the starry sky, without moving anywhere.
Bai Nanyu blinked her eyes, as if she had some realization: "You want to wash it too?"
Xiong San is also a girl who loves to be clean, so she nodded naively.
Bai Nanyu said: "Then you go ahead, I'll watch it for you, and we'll go back together after you finish washing."
Xiong San was a little embarrassed: "But I don't have any fruit for you, so I want you to help me guard."
Bai Nanyu laughed: "I don't want your fruit, so go ahead."
"okay."
Xiong San was relieved, and he took off his clothes generously, revealing a muscular body that had been trained by throwing stone locks around as straw stalks all year round.
She jumped into the water with a splash, splashing water at least ten feet high: "Comfortable!"
Bai Nanyu sat on the ground on the sand dune, taking off her shoes and socks, revealing her white feet. When the gravel comes into contact with the small feet, no particles stick to it, and it is as smooth as brocade.
Bai Nanyu and Xiong San returned to the camp after washing, and saw that Huo Qubing's Chinese army tent was still lit with lights.
The forbidden troops stood outside the camp, and even late at night, there was still a chill unique to the barracks, showing no signs of slackening.
"You and the young master have known each other for many years?" Bai Nanyu asked Xiong San.
Xiong San raised his head and said matter-of-factly: "My childhood home... was destroyed by the Huns. The general passed by and rescued me. I don't remember much else. Anyway, I have known the young master since childhood."
"What was the young master like when he was a child?" Bai Nanyu asked curiously.
"Eat, sleep, just like me."
Xiong San thought hard: "There is also the study of military affairs."
Bai Nanyu was stunned for a moment: "What about other things? Young Master doesn't have any hobbies?"
"Collect military books. Maybe I didn't pay much attention."
Xiong San looked at Bai Nanyu: "You want to know about the young master, and ask him about his hobbies. The princess told me not to tell others casually if they inquire about the young master, and asked me to report to her."
Bai Nanyu was stunned again, then raised her hand and took out a handful of fruits from her storage pocket.
Xiong San took it skillfully: "You don't want me to tell the princess? This is not enough."
Bai Nanyu said helplessly: "That's all I have. I'll give you some more tomorrow."
Xiong San: "There is no need to pay tomorrow, but you just stood guard for me, and the fruits that should be paid to you will be offset. Master once said that you should never owe others a favor. I will pay it back now, and we will be clear.
I went back to sleep. "
Bai Nanyu agreed and returned to her tent.
As soon as she left, Xiong San immediately smiled brightly: "The princess never warned you, this Bai Nanyu is stupid. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any fruit for you, I would keep it for myself."
Xiong San feels very smart.
Bai Nanyu returned to the tent and smiled: "Master Hou, this girl seems honest and honest..."
Inside Huo Qubing's tent, military formations overlapped and covered the surrounding area.
The dragon's feet, inherited from the Yellow Emperor's military skills, slowly poked out from the formation pattern again.
At the same time, the shadow behind him seemed to be moving abnormally, trying to form a Yin body.
The last time we broke through the four realms of military power, heaven and earth interacted, and the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Zhuolu emerged.
The military power and military skills that Huo Qubing obtained were not only Huangdi's Houtu Yan military skills, but also Chi You's Jiuli military power.
Although they are not complete, their power is amazing.
At this time, the rhythm of breath in the shadow behind Huo Qubing was the result of part of Jiuli's military power.
In that shadow, there was a shadow with two curved horns on its head, trying to escape.
Chi You's Jiuli military power is combined with Huo Qubing's Yin body, and a layer of black dense air seems to be burning outside the body, like a blazing flame, conveying unruly and violent fluctuations.
Huo Qubing slowly vomited his thoughts, and planned to practice martial arts at Jiuli.
But another feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
The feeling was a spiritual message sent by Wei Na who was in the royal court of the Huns: the great shaman was dead, Yi Zhixie was looking for a new shaman successor, and various tribesmen of the Huns were gathering in the royal court.
The Great Shaman is the incarnation of the God of Shaman in the human world.
His death was a great loss to the Xiongnu.
All Xiongnu tribes who believe in shamans will gather at the royal court.
Inside the camp, Jiuli's military skills slowly melted into the shadows behind him and disappeared.
Huo Qubing took back his practice and put one hand on the low mat in front of him, showing a thoughtful expression... The Xiongnu tribes gathered together, and it seemed that there was indeed no chance to attack the Xiongnu royal court again.
The next morning.
Huo Qubing personally led his troops out of Yumen and marched southwest to the location of the capital of Loulan.
The Lord of Loulan, with his hair disheveled, was escorted out by the Han army in a state of disarray.
He did not expect that the Xiongnu would be defeated and Loulan would be destroyed.
He was forced to kneel on the ground, with emotions such as fear and regret mixed together, and his body could not stop shaking.
"Spare my life..."
The executioner of the Han army cut off the head with one blow, and the head flew up.
Qiuci, Gumo and other kings of the country came with them, and they all looked happy.
Loulan relied on the Huns and exploited various countries in the Western Regions for many years. Seeing the Lord of Loulan die in front of their own eyes, people from all over the world felt very happy. The Lord of Loulan, who had been full of evil, finally surrendered.
Huo Qubing immediately announced that Loulan's national title would be reduced.
It turns out that Loulan surrendered his troops and the prisoners will be sent to the Han territory to perform hard labor. Including cattails, the same treatment method is used.
Huo Qubing's words fell, as if he was talking about the constitution of heaven, and Loulan's national destiny completely collapsed.
Its main stream of national destiny is moved by the power of heaven and earth, and will be taken over by the Han Dynasty.
There is also part of the national destiny, because the king of the country was killed and the country was interrupted. Before returning to heaven and earth, it was absorbed by Huo Qubing's promotion of the Sheji Tu.
However, the outsiders he wanted to attract did not appear.
"Someone is coming."
Huo Qubing said: "Send a message to Wusun and other countries in the Western Regions, telling them to go to Chang'an on a certain day to meet the Holy Spirit and surrender to my great Han."
Someone will give the order.
It would take at least twenty days to go to Wusun and other countries to send messages.
The emperor had sent an urgent edict to summon Huo Qubing to return to Chang'an.
Many kings of the Western Regions will also go to Chang'an to meet the saint after making some preparations.
"General Gongsun, Your Majesty has called me back to Chang'an. You and Prefect Zhang will garrison the camp together. General Gongsun will be in charge of the military affairs, and Prefect Zhang will take charge of the rest.
I commanded 40,000 troops to return to the court, leaving 30,000 troops to guard the Western Regions. "
Huo Qubing summoned Zhang Jun, the prefect who had just arrived from Xiguan, and Gongsun Ao: "Li Gan will stay and listen."
Gongsun Ao asked: "Is there anything that should be paid special attention to in the Western Regions?"
“The six or seven countries in the Western Region, including Wusun, Qiuci, Yanqi, Gumo, Khotan, Shule, and Miguo, were relatively powerful.
And the stronger the country, the less willing it is to give up the power it has acquired.
Although we defeated the Xiongnu, except for Qiuci and Gumo, the other countries' defeat of the Xiongnu alone was not enough to make them voluntarily join our Han Dynasty. "
Huo Qubing said eloquently: "Including Qiuci, Gumo currently only wants to be a vassal state.
On the surface, they promised to go to Chang'an to meet the Holy Spirit, but in fact, they were delaying the process. They all had a wait-and-see mentality, waiting to see what I, a big man, would do.
You will never obey our orders easily. "
Gongsun Aoruo realized something: "So the doctor is planning to offer courtesy first and then attack with force?
Asking people to send a message to Wusun and other countries and asking them to enter Chang'an to face the Holy Spirit is to test their attitude. "
"If they know how to advance or retreat, it would be best if they come to court on their own initiative to avoid a sword-to-sword confrontation." Huo Qubing said calmly.
On May 9th, he left Yumen and returned to the east.
The number of people returning to the court this time was extremely impressive.
According to later records, the number of people from the Hunxie tribe who surrendered to the Han Dynasty numbered tens of thousands.
Not all of these people will go to Chang'an, but 20,000 people will need to move to the Han area one after another to show Hunxie's loyalty to the Han Dynasty, which is equivalent to a mortgaged hostage.
In addition, there were prisoners captured by various tribes of the Western Huns.
Although several people had been sent back to Chang'an before, Huo Qubing set out with the largest number of followers, still tens of thousands of people.
The journey is mighty and mighty, stretching for several miles to Chang'an.
However, Huo Qubing disappeared after setting off.
Half of the 40,000 elite soldiers who returned to Chang'an did not go with the team and disappeared with Huo Qubing.
The royal court of the Huns.
After hearing about the death of the great shaman, various tribes gathered in Ulaanbaatar like a tide.
Looking down from the highlands of Ulaanbaatar, the various tribes carrying tribal flags are like streams flowing into the sea, coming from all over the grassland.
In May, the grassland is green, and the grass and trees are undulating with the wind like a vast ocean, with magnificent waves.
The gathered tribes set up camp with the Royal Court of Ulaanbaatar as the center, and the continuous tents with big roofs were boundless as far as the eye could see.
The death of the great shaman not only made all the Xiongnu tribes mourn, but also brought them unprecedented unity.
The grand gathering of various tribes was rare even in the period when the Xiongnu unified the prairie and allowed thousands of tribes to come to court.
The spectacular sight of a sea of people in front of her made Yi Zhixian's heart sinking to the bottom of the valley become active again.
The Huns still have the confidence to conquer the world!
"Han general Huo Qubing left the Western Regions and returned to Chang'an?"
With a strong voice, Yi Zhixie stood on the top of Ulaanbaatar with his hands behind his hands and asked the Huns soldiers who came to tell the news.
The Xiongnu had controlled the Western Regions for many years. Although they were defeated by the Han army, some remaining arrangements were not wiped out, and their spies were still there.
The Han army withdrew from the Western Regions, and the Huns arranged for them to spread the news back to the royal court through secret channels.
At the same time as he received the news, Yi Zhi relied on the artifacts left by the great shaman and unexpectedly received a message from the missing Yudu:
"If troops are sent to attack the Western Regions at this time, the Han army will be unprepared!
Our Tianhun Department has a troop of soldiers and horses, carrying provisions and grass, which have been dormant on the grassland between the Royal Court and the Western Huns. They have entered a state of war readiness. They will attack the remaining Han troops in the Western Regions. "
This news greatly cheered up Yi Zhixie.
The grand scene of all the ministries gathering together already made him feel a little disturbed.
Yudu actually has a hidden plan.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was only reasonable that Yuan Yu had already made arrangements.
There are 30,000 elites in the Heavenly Soul Department, and the people led by the Great Shaman and Luotang Gu before participating in the northwest battle were the combination of Wang Ting and the Heavenly Soul Department, half and half each, for a total of only 26,000 people.
Most of the Tianhun Department in Yudu's hands has disappeared.
Yi Zhixie had previously thought that Yu Du was unable to do anything, so he had some spare efforts in secret.
At this moment, I realized that Youdu had other hidden plans and had not exhausted all his strength.
Only in this way can we live up to the plans of the Hun generals.
As for the Tianhun troops and horses hidden in Yudu, he obtained the food and armaments from the land in the far north and was self-sufficient. Therefore, Yi Zhixie did not know the whereabouts of these troops before and completely bypassed them. The royal court of the Huns.
It is even more impossible for the Han people to imagine that Yudu would arrange for troops to attack the Western Region at this time...
As soon as Yi Zhixie had an idea, he immediately sent an order for people to come over, and sent out troops and horses in the king's tent. The purpose was to follow the chieftain King Tu and take the opportunity to go to the Western Huns. After defeating them, he prepared to transfer the population, tribes and horses of the royal court to the Chinese army. Cattle and sheep, take them all.
The war is about population and resources.
The Western Huns were defeated and all major tribes were swept away by Huo Qubing, but many tribes survived.
A large part of these tribes will be merged into the Huns' central army, and Yi Zhixie keeps a close eye on them. This will fill up and strengthen his royal army.
In May, the grass grows and the orioles fly.
The troops dispatched by Yi Zhixie only need to bring a small amount of food and grass to quickly mobilize for the expedition.
One day later, teams began to set off from the Xiongnu king's tent one after another to go to the Western Huns to receive the population.
King Tu, the chieftain, also returned to the Western Huns.
The men and horses of the Tianhun tribe that Yudu had hidden also moved from the dormant place to the southwest to the Western Region, preparing to wash away the shame of the Xiongnu being defeated in the Western Region.
This is indeed a good time.
When the whole Han nation was celebrating, the Tianhun Department disappeared completely. Not only the Han people did not expect it, but even Yi Zhixie did not know about it in advance.
Yi Zhixie was very excited about Yudu's dispatch of troops and looked forward to it eagerly.
…
Starting from mid-May, the tribes defeated by the Han army in the Western Huns began to migrate to the central area where the Royal Court of the Xiongnu was located, under the protection of two troops of 10,000 people from the Royal Court of the Central Army, led by General Luotanggu.
On May 16th, night fell.
This huge migrating team set up camp on the grassland.
The whole team stretched for a long time, leading the cattle and driving the horses.
The last vitality of the Western Huns is here, and there are hundreds of thousands of them.
In the future, more people will migrate to the royal court.
Chief Tu Wang, Luo Dangu, and Tianhun Department General Feng Ti all followed the team and were discussing the subsequent relocation in the tent.
Because the main force of the Western Huns was defeated by the Han army, self-protection became a problem, so so many tribes moved that almost all the Western Huns tribes were emptied.
In a sense, this is a huge wealth.
That's why Yizhixie was eager to let Luutangu go. Feng Ti personally went out and led troops to escort him, and he paid great attention to it.
But on this night.
In the Luotang Valley, the chieftain, King Tu, and Feng Ti suddenly heard a loud noise.
The campground was filled with sand and rocks, as if it was suddenly hit by a storm!
The bugle call of an attack sounded in the camp, calling all the troops to fight.
The Han army is attacking!
The Han army actually attacked at this time?
Are they Huo Qubing's men?
King Tu Tu, Luo Dangu and others were instantly filled with chills!
how come?
After fighting against the Huns in the northwest, Huo Qubing has been paying attention to the situation on both sides. Whether it was Bai Nanyu who saw him marking the route for another attack on the Xiongnu royal court on the terrain map, or the message delivered by Wei Na, it can be seen that Huo Qubing's eyes were always on the Xiongnu.
His goal from the beginning of the war was to completely defeat the Western Huns and not give them a chance to conserve their strength.
Following the emperor's order, Huo Qubing seemed to be ordered to return to Chang'an.
When Yi Zhixie learned that the Han army had withdrawn, he was immediately ready to take over the remaining tribal population and property of the Western Xiongnu and fully replenish the royal court.
On the way back to Chang'an, Huo Qubing mobilized his troops to attack suddenly.
It was impossible to keep their whereabouts completely secret for such a large-scale migration, so it was only logical that they were found by Huo Qubing, who had been paying attention to their movements for a long time.
…
The soldiers and horses of the Tianhun Department wanted to make a surprise attack on the remaining Han troops in the Western Regions. They went from north to southwest. On the same night, they met a Han army on a narrow road.
The one who blocked them was Wei Qing, who was somewhat ignored by the Huns during this battle because Huo Qubing was too powerful.
Wei Qing's grand strategic perspective is not at all inferior to Huo Qubing's, or even above it.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Wei Qing saw through the men and horses of the Tianhun Department.
It is impossible to accurately determine its route, but Wei Qing led his troops from south to northwest, so he could become a roadblock.
He set up secret sentries around the area and had been waiting for several days for the Tianhun troops who wanted to attack the Han army.
This is a tough battle, and it is also a close cooperation between the nephew and uncle.
The two of them had never communicated before, but they trusted each other and guessed that the other party would be able to see through the Huns' unwillingness to lose. Only after this battle can we truly conquer the Western Region.
Only then will the situation in the northwest be truly relatively stable.
This is the cooperation between nephew and uncle, thousands of miles apart.
Huo Qubing was responsible for completely killing the last hope of the Western Huns and took the initiative!
Wei Qing was responsible for intercepting Tianhun's troops and preventing them from attacking the Han army.
The two work together to form the double jade of the Han Dynasty.
Ps: Without this final battle and the role of Wei Qing, the Huns general Yudu’s calculations would not have been enough. With this battle, the Battle of Hexi will be considered complete, and it will be more reasonable to swallow the Western Region.
I saw some book friends saying that the battle against the Great Shaman was written simply because of the rhythm of the entire campaign.
I wrote the process of fighting the front army and the rear army before, and the battle with the Great Shaman was calculated accurately. If I write it in more detail, I will not be able to take over the subsequent battle, and it will become a continuous war. It will be too long. Read more Tired of it. Now there is a buffer adjustment in the middle before fighting the final battle.
Think about it, after this wave of fighting, the Xiongnu will be completely hollowed out and half of them will fall. What a grand occasion it will be for Huo Qubing to return to Chang'an...
