Looking at the tribal leaders who were clamoring to explore the road, leader Donghu shouted
"Stop arguing, what's the point of arguing? I, Touman Shanyu, and leader Linhu will each select one tribe to explore this time, and the remaining one will be selected by the people from the small tribe. Do you have any opinions?"
These tribal leaders looked at the Donghu leader and shouted, and the rest of the people could only agree. If they are not as strong as others, they will naturally bow their heads.
Soon the three of them each selected a tribe from the tribes that followed them and asked them to send people to explore the road. The people from the small tribes agreed to send people to form a team and negotiated to share the things they brought back equally. .
"Then the army will set out first to camp thirty miles away from Yanmen Pass to attract Li Mu's main force." The leader of East Lake said.
The move south this time was proposed by the Donghu leader, so the Donghu leader is vaguely the boss of this loose alliance. Touman glanced at the Donghu leader sideways and said
"This Shanyu will mobilize the troops first."
After saying that, he left. After Touman returned to his king's tent, he threw the sword aside. The wolf priest in the king's tent saw Touman and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Chanyu, what happened?"
"Humph." Touman snorted and told what happened just now.
"This is a good thing, Great Chanyu." The priest said with joy.
"What's a good thing? These people all listened to the leader of Donghu and ignored me. Is this a good thing?" Touman said dissatisfiedly as he lay on his seat, picked up the wine jar and took a sip.
"Chanyu, please listen to me slowly. Judging from tonight's meeting, the Hu alliance seems to be stable, but in fact it is very loose and has serious internal conflicts. Leader Lin Hu has the blood of the Central Plains people, so many tribal leaders look down on him. Except for some die-hard supporters, the rest of him seems to be in harmony with his appearance, but what about the leader of Donghu? Although he is brave and resourceful, the snowstorm in Donghu this year has been severe and his strength has been greatly damaged, so he sent people to unite the entire grassland to go south." said the priest.
"Chanyu knows what you are talking about. What exactly do you want to say?" Touman asked.
"I know that Chanyu has always had the ambition to unify the grassland, but Donghu and Linhu have always been the biggest obstacles, and this move south is a good opportunity. Donghu's strength has been frustrated, and Linhu cannot convince the crowd. As long as he goes south to plunder this time, During the war, the Chanyu showed the strength of the Huns and showed some kindness to those barbarians. I think they will definitely join the Chanyu. If people annex Donghu and Linhu in one fell swoop, then the entire grassland will belong to Shanyu." The priest said excitedly.
After hearing what the priest said, Touman still considered it. For this robbery, he brought nearly 100,000 people, including 30,000 Wangting guards, 100,000 Donghu, 80,000 Linhu, and the rest. There are about 100,000 people in his tribe. This time he goes south and a battle with Zhao is inevitable. As long as these Hu people are caught in the war and he defeats Li Mu, it will not be a dream for him to regain the grassland unified by the Hu people.
"Okay, according to what the priest said, I will give full authority to the priest for this war." Touman slammed the table and said.
"Thank you Shanyu for your trust. I will definitely not let Shanyu down." The priest said.
"Ha ha ha ha."
On the Yanmenguan city wall, Li Mu looked at the Huns and barbarians who were camped thousands of miles away with seriousness written on their faces.
"General, don't you think the Huns and the barbarians are not easy to deal with?" Sima Shang said, looking at the camps of the Huns and the barbarians.
A normal alliance should be that you are among me and I am among you. The Huns and the Huns seem to be stationed together, but in fact they are very loose. The Huns are in the east and the Hus are in the west. There is an area between the two sides that seems to be tight but is actually loose. .
"The hatred between the Huns and the Hu people is not less than that of us. This time they were forced to unite and go south due to natural disasters, but they all have their own agendas. The Huns have always had the idea of annexing the Hu people, and the Hu people are as wary of the Huns as they are of thieves. How is that possible? Let the Xiongnu camp with him." Li Mu relaxed his brows a little.
He originally thought that the Huns and Hu people would temporarily put aside their hatred due to natural disasters this time, but now it seems that he is overthinking. The only thing the Huns and Hu people can rely on is their powerful cavalry. As for things like brains, apart from some sacrifices, the grassland is good. There is nothing else besides the mission.
"Inform all the cities to be on guard and guard against allowing the Huns and barbarians to cross the border. Also, do not take the initiative to attack, show weakness to the enemy, and be on guard in all directions." Li Mu ordered.
"It's the general." Sima Shang's face was full of helplessness.
Over the years, Li Mu has led them to run Yanmen County. In the past, Yanmen was often harassed and plundered by the Hu people, and their soldiers were often powerless. The Hu people's cavalry came and went like the wind, and their combat power was fierce. Their infantry Not an opponent at all. The country didn't bother to care about them when they saw them like this, as long as they didn't let Yanmen County be lost. As time went by, they gradually became numb and became those bastard soldiers in their hearts, and they even looked down on themselves.
But after Li Mu arrived, he led them to win a battle and helped them find their self-confidence. Then he began to continuously manage Yanmen County, giving them the best treatment, and recruiting troops at the same time. He blocked the plundering of the Hu people time and time again. They thought Li Mu would let them fight back, but in the end Li Mu just let them maintain the status quo, which made them feel aggrieved.
Li Mu led them to win the battle, received rewards, and protected their parents, relatives, and friends. They were very grateful to Li Mu. The soldiers' reward for the general was to go into battle to kill the enemy, but Li Mu did not allow them to go into battle. They thought it was because Li Mu thought they were not good enough. , so they trained desperately every day just to repay Li Mu. They all held a rage in their hearts, and this large-scale invasion by the Huns and Hu people gave them hope, an opportunity to show that they were not useless, so they all Wait.
After Li Mu issued the order to be on strict guard, the entire Yanmen County was mobilized, and the city was closed and no entry or exit was allowed.
At this time, the leaders of the tribes in the grassland were drinking. The seats in the entire tent were divided into three parts, those loyal to Touman, those loyal to Donghu, and those loyal to Linhu. Seeing the tribal leaders under Linhu just drinking in silence, Touman couldn't help but feel He smiled, and as expected, as his priest said, these leaders had great opinions on Leader Lin Hu.
"Chanyu, two leaders, do you know how long we have to wait? Our sons have been looking forward to the treasures and women of the Central Plains for a long time." One of the leaders stood up and said.
He is the leader of Xiongnu, which belongs to a large tribe that has become powerful recently. Although it is not as good as the Xiongnu, Donghu and Linhu, it still has considerable strength and is vaguely the leader of those neutral grassland tribes.
"Don't worry, Chief Xi. After our spies figure out Li Mu's plan, we only need to kill him with one strike. By then we will march straight in and capture half of the Zhao Kingdom. By then, countless treasures, cattle, sheep, and women will be We are from the grassland." Touman laughed.
Their four cavalry groups have already set off, and everyone is waiting for the return of the four cavalry groups. Once they return, it will be time for them to head south in a big way.
