After Cai Wenji left, Yang Xun called Jiang Wei over again.
"Lord, are you looking for me?"
Yang Xun smiled and said: "Boyue, this battle was well fought. What do you think should be done next?"
Jiang Wei thought for a while, then raised his hand and said, "I am so brave, I dare to ask my lord what kind of result you want to achieve?"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Xun was stunned. He naturally wanted to completely eliminate the Xiongnu.
However, Yang Xun himself also knew that it was unrealistic to destroy the Xiongnu with his current strength. Even if he mobilized all Xue Rengui and Xuan Jiajun, it would be difficult.
Beiyan has been fighting with the Xiongnu for so many years. Although it has never penetrated into Beiyan territory, Beiyan also did not dare to cross Tianmen Pass to attack the Xiongnu.
Only a few tribes came to meet with Berker this time, but they gathered a total of 300,000 troops. There were many tribes like this in the Xiongnu territory.
Once Yang Xun led his army into the territory of the Xiongnu, these tribes who usually have their own evil intentions will definitely unite and share the same hatred. By then, Yang Xun will no longer be able to deal with the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Therefore, Yang Xun only thought about the idea of exterminating the Xiongnu.
But even if we can't destroy the Xiongnu, we still have to defeat them, right? At least let them not dare to have any more ideas about Beiyan. It is best to find a way to get them to cede territory and pay compensation. Yang Xun has been coveting the gold mines in the Xiongnu territory for a long time!
Jiang Wei obviously saw what Yang Xun was thinking and said with a smile: "My lord, if you want to conquer the Huns and get some benefits from them, it is not difficult. First, we have to severely damage the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses outside the city. Secondly, We need to cut off its escape route and put it into a desperate situation. I believe that at this time, the Xiongnu Chanyu will take the initiative to come to my lord for peace talks, and he will not refuse any conditions offered by my lord."
Yang Xun nodded. Jiang Wei was right. As long as Burker could be put in dire straits, it would be much easier to cede territory and pay compensation.
After all, the population of the Huns was sparse. If all the more than 200,000 men were buried here, it would be enough to shake the foundation of the Huns. Burker would never be able to fight to the end.
But how can we severely inflict a heavy blow on the Huns and cut off their retreat?
Before Yang Xun could ask, Jiang Wei continued: "My lord, I think today is a good opportunity to severely injure the Huns!"
"The Huns have just suffered a defeat and their morale is low. If it continues, it will only become more and more disadvantageous for them. And we have just won a big victory. The Huns will think that we have relaxed our vigilance, so it is expected that the Huns will attack with all their troops tonight. , storm my Tianmen Pass!"
Hearing this, Yang Xun's eyes narrowed. The Huns are trying to jump over the wall!
"Boyo, you mean we take advantage of them to attack Tianmen Pass and give them a heavy blow?"
As he spoke, Yang Xun looked at the map on the desk, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "If the enemy's entire army attacks, the camp in the rear will be empty. This is the best opportunity to cut off the enemy's retreat!"
Behind the Xiongnu camp is a 100-meter-wide Zhuimu River. The Huns must cross the river if they want to retreat. If they can capture the Zhuimu River while the Huns are attacking the city, then the Xiongnu will have no way out.
"Exactly, my lord only needs to lead the Euphorbia warriors and crossbowmen to guard Tianmen Pass. The last general will lead 20,000 Xuanjia troops to burn the Huns' camp and destroy their food and grass while they are attacking the city. Then they will cross the Zhuomu River and destroy the Xiongnu. Fell off the bridge over the river.”
Yang Xun nodded, and Jiang Wei had the same idea as him: "The Huns have no food and grass. They can hold out for three days at most. If they cannot attack Tianmen Pass in three days, they will have to retreat. The Xuanjia Army only needs to bring enough food for five days. Then you can constantly harass the enemy on the other side of the Zhuomu River, making it impossible for them to build a bridge to cross the river. By then, the Huns army will be completely in despair!"
Wonderful, wonderful!
Burker would never have thought that his entire army's storming of Tianmen Pass would give Yang Xun a chance to defeat him!
The key to this battle is whether Yang Xun can hold Tianmen Pass. As long as the Xiongnu cannot break through Tianmen Pass, they will become lambs to be slaughtered, at the mercy of Yang Xun!
Yang Xun has Euphorbia Soldiers and Zhuge Liannu, so he is very confident in defending a small Tianmen Pass.
What's more, as long as we hold on tonight, the reinforcements from the four passes will arrive tomorrow. By then, the Huns will understand what despair means!
"This battle will be arranged according to your plan, without any mistakes!"
…
At the same time, at the border between Huaizhou and Beiyan, an army stretching for dozens of miles came in force, led by two middle-aged men wearing python robes, none other than King Huai and King Xiang.
"Brother Emperor, are you sure that the Xuanjia Army in Beiyan City has gone north to fight against the Huns?" King Xiang asked.
King Huai smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I have placed spies in Beiyan City a long time ago. Now the entire Beiyan City knows that Yang Xun has gone out with the Xuanjia Army."
"This time we disobeyed the imperial order and withdrew our troops privately. We don't know what the consequences will be." King Xiang was a little worried.
"Consequences?" King Huai snorted coldly, "What kind of trouble can a little girl like Li Miaoyin cause? Now that the world is in chaos, we should quickly increase our strength. That old guy Yang Huai is dead, and it is precisely when we take down Bei It’s a good time for Yan, when the time comes for you and me to occupy the land of the three states, it’s not a bad idea to compete for the world!”
King Xiang and King Huai are both descendants of the Li family, and if calculated carefully, they are both uncles of Li Miaoyin.
As disciples of the royal family, they naturally could not tolerate a girl named Li Miaoyin ascending to the throne, and they inevitably had different intentions.
"It's just that I'm afraid that boy Yang Xun is not simple. Didn't he say that Zhao Zhengxiong was killed by him?" Prince Xiang was still hesitant.
"Don't worry, doesn't Yang Xun have a hundred thousand Xuanjia troops? Let's not talk about whether Yang Xun can defeat the Xiongnu. Even if he comes back victorious, we will have captured Beiyan City long ago. The two of us have enough troops together. It's 150,000, why are you afraid of him?" King Huai's eyes were full of disdain.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." King Xiang nodded, seeming to have made up his mind.
If there is a chance, who wouldn't want to compete in this world?
Li Miaoyin, a female figure, can be the emperor. Why can't he, a seven-foot-tall man named Prince Xiang, be the emperor?
After taking Beiyan, he will find a way to kill King Huai. By then, he will be alone in the three states and have hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if King Pingnan comes, he will have to be on an equal footing with him!
King Huai smiled slightly. Naturally, he didn't know what King Xiang was thinking. He turned and shouted to the generals behind him: "Let the people behind you hurry up. You must get to Beiyan City before sunset tomorrow!"
"King Huai has an order to speed up the march and be sure to arrive at Beiyan City before sunset tomorrow!" The messenger quickly conveyed King Huai's order.
King Huai was very satisfied, with contentment written all over his face. He was already imagining the scene of breaking into Beiyan City and sitting on the throne of King Zhenbei.
At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly reached everyone's ears. King Huai was startled and quickly looked around, only to see a cavalryman wearing black armor charging towards them from all directions.
