Ulaanbaatar.
When the great shaman Boguna entered the king's tent, Wei Na prepared to leave after reporting certain things to Yi Zhixie.
Puguna noticed Yi Zhi's slanted gaze, and intentionally or unintentionally fell on Wei Na's rhythmic buttocks, which were wrapped under the leather robe.
"Da Shanyu, that person has sent news again."
Boguna frowned slightly as he traced the mantra in the shape of blood-red eyes, and handed the leather scroll to Yi Zhixie with his skinny hands.
"The Han wanted to capture Dayuan's horses, and Dayuezhi and Kangju would be involved... The Han army had won several battles, and they really thought they had no opponents, so they made enemies everywhere...
Ask him who will lead the Han army out of Dawan? "
Yi Zhi took a sip of the warm goat's milk and looked out of the window of the tent.
The cold wind of late autumn is blowing across the vast grassland.
The weather is getting cold again.
After losing the Western Huns and the tributes from the countries in the Western Regions, this winter will be extra harsh for all the grassland tribes.
Especially since there is no fall hunting this year.
The Xiongnu tribes suffered heavy setbacks after the battle between the Western Huns and the Han army. They did not dare to go south to plunder this year. They relied on the forage accumulated in spring and summer to survive the severe cold. Each tribe will suffer more than in previous years.
If some herdsmen freeze to death, various ministries will feel that the Great Chanyu has lost the ability to lead them to live a good life, and Yi Zhixie's appeal will become weaker and weaker.
Maybe before winter comes, he should go out and plunder once... Yi Zhixie thought thoughtfully.
He no longer dares to act rashly in the Han Dynasty, but there are no strong cities or thick walls in the Western Region that can be used as targets.
At this time, lines of writing appeared on the leather scroll:
"The Han Imperial Guards, about five thousand strong, led by three captains, have been in the northwest for many days.
Dayuezhi and Kangju would not be willing to let Dayuan, the bordering country, fall into the hands of the Han, otherwise they themselves would be threatened by the Han army at any time.
If they join forces to attack the Han, the grassland tribes can take the opportunity to go south and enter Wusun territory through Alashan Pass. They can at least plunder the surrounding countries in the Western Region and form a containment and harassment to the Han. "
After Yi Zhixie read the handwriting, he fell into long thoughts.
Chang'an, the Forbidden Army Hall.
Huo Qubing raised the corners of his mouth.
His original intention was to trap the Huns and induce them to send troops. If the fish biting the bait was fat enough, he would eat it and weaken the Huns.
But Yi Zhixie seemed to have become timid.
He didn't have to think about the consequences of losing before, but now he is cautious in everything. The final reply was that it needed to be discussed with the various ministries.
Yi Zhixie was no longer the great Chanyu of the Huns who ordered all the grassland tribes to march southward at will.
His authority, his own confidence, was deteriorating.
Huo Qubing collected the Zongheng Jianshu. The seed has been planted, and it is not up to him to decide whether the opponent bites the hook or not.
But even if it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time.
Near noon, a nimble figure suddenly appeared at the window lattice in the palace.
The big cat with a fat belly jumped down from the eaves, its jewel-like clear eyes flashed, and it waved its paw behind it.
Behind it was a fat tiger with a fat head and a fat brain.
Holding a wooden food box in his mouth, he happily ran into the house and placed the food box in front of Huo Qubing.
Liu Qing is having a baby at home recently, and if anything happens to the embroidered clothes, they will be sent to his house.
She was pregnant with an heir, the emperor, the queen, and all kinds of things sent to her house by people from the clan kept coming in an endless stream. The cooks serve them carefully, and there is so much food of all kinds to eat every day.
During this time, Tao Zun was also raising a baby at his house, and it is said that he gained six pounds and four ounces of weight.
Huo Qubing also enjoyed the treatment of pregnant women. Every day at noon, Big Cat and Fat Tiger came to deliver meals.
The food box was opened, and inside were stewed tendons, steamed fresh fish, a small plate of seasonal vegetables and exquisitely crafted snacks.
The dishes are exquisite, but there are signs of having been eaten before.
Liu Qing finished eating and then gave it to Huo Qubing to eat.
Her Highness the Princess never tires of the couple's little tricks.
After the big cat delivered the meal, he jumped up to the room, climbed over the eaves and walked over the wall.
Fat Tiger lay lazily next to Huo Qubing's body, waiting for his master to return home with him.
When it came, it actually came by car.
Otherwise, I am afraid of scaring pedestrians on the road.
Huo Qubing looked northwest through the window.
The forbidden troops under his command are approaching Dawan, and the war is about to begin.
Dawan has three large-scale cities, namely Guishan City, the capital of the country, in the middle of the country, Yucheng City in the east, and Ershi City in the southeast.
Li Guangli's general title came from the Ershi City he captured.
At this time, Fu Luzhi was paying attention to the Dawan territory ahead.
Next to him is Yao Zhao holding a bronze war spear.
Behind the two men were the Han Imperial Guards, who were wearing armor and carrying powerful troops.
"If we go out in three directions, we can attack directly to capture the capital of Dawan, and then attack from the capital. Later, the troops and horses of the prefect Xiguan Zhang will come up, echoing from inside and outside, and we can pierce Dawan in a few days."
Fu Luzhi said: "Zhao Anji insists on fighting some kind of special battle, saying it will cost less.
They also sent an envoy to enter the capital of Dawan to draw pictures... By the way, do you understand what drawing is? "
Yao Zhao shook his head and said: "The Marquis did not clearly say who is the leader and who is the deputy when the three of us send troops. It is obvious that we should divide our troops into three groups, each working for the good while maintaining coordination. Zhao Anji was right to use his method.
Let's separate. I'll go in from the north, you go south, and we'll meet in the capital of Dawan.
What drawing is... I don’t know.
The group of people under Zhao Anji were required to learn literacy and foreign languages before fighting. My eyes turned black as soon as I heard this. "
"Let's move forward as planned, I'm leaving."
Yao Zhao spurred his horse away, followed by two thousand men roaring, and in the blink of an eye, he used the plan slips to conceal his presence, and disappeared without a trace.
Fu Luzhi muttered: "Zhao Anji took off his pants and farted. It's unnecessary. It's so easy to march quickly to defeat him. He has to train the army. How about testing the usual training situation and supporting war with war..."
While he was speaking, he also led the troops, urged the marching plan and disappeared.
Among the three, Fu Luzhi and Yao Zhao each commanded two thousand troops and advanced secretly.
Zhao Anji only brought a thousand special operations personnel, openly went deep into Dawan, and submitted his credentials.
The envoys he sent as vanguards were able to enter the capital of Dawan, and secretly mapped the topography of Guishan City, the capital, and even the interior of the palace, and conveyed it bit by bit through concentric lotus leaves.
These are all special operations subjects, far beyond contemporary combat concepts, and Dawan has no targeted defenses.
Two days later in the morning, Guishan City.
Dawan's architectural style is distinctive, most of which are stone cities with semicircular domes. The palace building is decorated with blue porcelain-like stones, with complex and gorgeous textures.
Their city walls do not go down vertically, but have a certain curvature like a hill, with battlements above them to form sharp corners.
This construction method is very strong and heavy, but relatively easy to climb.
The leader of the Kingdom of Dawan was twenty-three years old, young and strong, wearing a white royal robe. He was sitting in the main hall of the palace, looking at the ministers below.
"The Han people are strong. The countries east of Dawan and the western regions were conquered by the Han army in several months, and none of them could stop the Han army.
Wusun claimed to have the strongest military force among all the countries, but he was still defeated in one attack and surrendered as a sacrifice to the city. The king of the country ended up being reduced to a commoner. "
The speaker was an old man, wearing a wide blue-textured robe and holding a short staff inlaid with gems.
This old man is tall and thin with piercing eyes. He is quite prestigious among the officials in Dawan.
Regarding the attitude towards the Han, Dawan is divided into two factions.
One group supports the country's leader and not widows. They are the young and strong group with a tough attitude.
The ministers of the Young and Strong Sect were reused and promoted to key positions due to the succession of the new king. They were resolute in their request for horses from the big man and refused to give them any. They even planned to show their bravery and not hesitate to fight.
The other faction is dominated by veteran Lan Xin, who is stable and conservative.
"Even the Xiongnu are now trying to evade the Han troops. We all think that the king should think carefully."
Lan Chuan spoke again: "The Han Dynasty is on an envoy and has sent thousands of elite troops to accompany him. He will arrive at our Guishan King's City in two hours."
"It's just a thousand Han troops. How can you be afraid of Lao Bahan (official name)?"
Wuwu sat on the throne with sharp eyes:
"Have you ever considered that if we are friendly to the Han, we will give the Han the share of the horses that were originally given to Da Yueshi and Kang Ju. Then we will have offended both Da Yueshi and Kang Ju.
Do you think it's worth it, Lao Ba Khan, to abandon Da Yuezhi and Kangju to make friends with Han people thousands of miles away? "
Wu Wei said calmly: "Let me ask you, are we going to offend the two neighboring powerful countries at the same time, or are we offending the distant Han Dynasty?"
Lan Qing was speechless for a moment.
From Wu Widow's point of view, what he did seemed to be right.
Wuwu said proudly: "We must not only reject the Han, but also show a tough attitude. The Xiongnu was strong back then and also wanted to seize our great horse from Dawan. What was the result?"
Can the Han Dynasty march thousands of miles and defeat our three-party alliance of Dayuan, Kangju, and Dayuezhi at the same time?
it's out of the question! "
"Go and tell the incoming Han army to stop outside the city. I will not allow any of them to enter the city."
Wu Wu said: "Go and drive out the Han envoys who have entered the city. Let them go back and tell the Han emperor that there are no good horses. You can sell him two bad horses and we will keep the property!"
"Even if your Majesty doesn't give him a good horse, you can't humiliate the Han envoy like this." Lan Chong said in shock.
Wu Zi said calmly: "Da Yueshi and Kangju both heard that the Han envoys were coming, and they just sent news and inquired, asking me to express my attitude. Expelling the Han envoys and seizing their property is my attitude.
Just wait. "
Night falls, dark clouds cover the moon.
To the east outside Guishan City, after nightfall, the men and horses of Yao Zhao and Fu Luzhi came quietly.
Zhao Anji's team was blocked outside the city by the Dawan people and camped on the spot.
"how to spell?"
After Fu Luzhi came over secretly, he met Zhao Anji in the camp and gloated: "I heard that they didn't let you enter the city and robbed you of the property you wanted from Prefect Zhang?"
"My people have already taken action."
Zhao Anji ignored Lu Zhi, wearing a bronze captain's armor and a bronze sculpture of an animal head on his shoulder, full of murderous intent, and said: "Look."
The three of them walked out of the big tent and looked at Guishan City under the moonlight.
Under the city wall, a team seemed to emerge from the mist. Using the method of concealed march, they approached the city wall and were climbing towards the city at an incredible speed.
The Guishan city wall is only four feet high. Just throw out a special lock and hook it on the top of the wall, and the well-trained Han army can quickly climb it.
Fu Luzhi looked dumbfounded and asked: "It's not difficult to climb up, but why is there no movement at the top of the city and the defenders of Dawan are all dead?"
Zhao Anji chuckled and said: "You think the special operations we train every day can only go straight and cannot attack hard.
The Marquis said that this is called going deep behind enemy lines and is used in conjunction with frontal battles.
My team separated a small team in advance and came to Guishan City early to find out the situation.
This Guishan City is built on high ground, with mountains at its back. It has military dangers to rely on, and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
But in our daily training, we have projects on how to capture fortified cities.
My people first climbed up to the mountain behind the city, shot crossbows and ziplines between the protruding cliffs and the city, and were able to use the slide to climb to the top of the city in three or four breaths.
Before that, another group of people under my command had already used military tactics to hide themselves and reach the top of the city.
Before you came, the few defenders at the top of the city were eliminated by my soldiers. Don't take it too easy. "
Fu Luzhi spat: "Look at you, you can't rely on us in a frontal battle."
At this time, the Han army who reached the top of the city took off their short crossbows and shot continuously the Dawan soldiers who heard the noise and came to check.
The soldiers met each other in a sudden confrontation.
The Han army then dropped a long rope from the top of the city and quickly descended into the inner city. With lightning speed, they slashed and killed the defenders in the night.
Half an hour later, the city gate opened wide.
Zhao Anji smiled and said: "Fu Lu Zhi, Yao Zhao, it's your turn to go up and fight a tough battle. I'm going to reach the royal city and capture the king of the country alive."
Fu Luzhi squeaked: "I'm asking you to sneeze, Master Hou said you should never be too proud, otherwise you will definitely have diarrhea.
Just wait, let's see who reaches the royal city first, and the loser will bet on next month's salary! "
The night is dark.
The Han army invaded the city like a tide.
