The Qin army knew the information, and the Huns naturally also got the information.
"Brothers Tu Li and Tu Qian were defeated?" Everyone in the Xiongnu headquarters and the Xiongnu King's tent were stunned.
Touman looked at the information in his hand in disbelief. He did not believe that his number one confidant would return with 50,000 elite soldiers from his headquarters to attack Changli. The 50,000 people, in addition to a dozen cavalrymen who had escaped, including Tu Litu, The former brothers were all resigned to common sense.
King Zuo Xian and King You Xian looked at each other and couldn't believe the intelligence in front of them. They had no idea of fighting for power with Touman now. According to the current progress of the Qin army, they had lost 50,000 people at the beginning, and it would not take long to continue the fight. In time, their entire army was defeated.
"How did the 30,000 Qin army stop our 50,000 cavalry?" Touman asked with a frown.
"Da Shanyu, the ordinary Qin army is a monster. Their infantry are not human beings, they are devils crawling out of hell. They can cut off our men and horses with their swords."
"Their cavalry is more powerful than ours, and our bows and crossbows can't reach them at all."
Touman also felt dizzy when he saw the nonsense that was being said by the people who had escaped. His eyes were full of fear when he saw the people talking about Qin Jun. They were obviously frightened by Qin Jun. But Touman also heard some information about the Qin army from a few people. First, the Qin army's cavalry had a long range of crossbows, and secondly, the Qin army's infantry was very powerful.
"Prime Minister, does he know what the current strength of the Qin State is?" Touman looked at Gongyang Ling.
The Xiongnu tribe has not had a conflict with the Qin army for many years. Even if it does, it is just a small-scale friction in Beidi County, with no more than a few thousand people at most. Moreover, Beidi County and the Xiongnu have long known the ins and outs of Beidi County. The army does not have such strong strength. For the first time, Touman felt that the Qin army was so unfamiliar and lacked information about the enemy. This was a fatal weakness. However, the Xiongnu had been fighting with Zhao Guo Li Mu for many years and had not received any information about the current Qin army.
"The Qin Army is known as the Tiger and Wolf Army in the Central Plains. No one in the six Shandong countries can resist it. A few years ago, it destroyed an entire country in one battle and captured South Korea. But this time the Qin Army's commander, Wei Liao, was earlier He joined the Qin Dynasty in 2001, but he has never served for the Qin State. This expedition is the first time he has personally gone to the battlefield." Gongyang Ling said.
"First time on the battlefield?" Touman's face was a little complicated. The brave Qin army and the first time the commander was on the battlefield made him confused about what the Qin army was doing. A good warrior is not one who has been honed in war after war. After training, he commanded such a large Qin army for the first time on the battlefield. Isn't the Qin army afraid of repeating Zhao's Changping Battle?
"Yes, I have lived in the land where the Zhao Kingdom and the Huns have lived together for decades. Most of the things about the Central Plains have been heard from passing merchants. I don't have much information about Wei Liao. I don't know how this person commanded the army. What is the style?" Gongyang Ling said.
Facing the unfamiliar Qin army, Touman felt a little tricky. In recent years, he had not spread troubles with the Central Plains or bribed people in the Central Plains to provide him with intelligence, but his main target was Zhao State, and Qin State had never been his target.
"King Youxian, you have a lot of contact with the Qin army. Do you have any information about Wei Liao and this Qin army?" Touman looked at King Youxian.
"Wei Liao, I have heard that this person holds the position of Taiwei of the Qin State and is in charge of the entire Qin State's troops. As for his battlefield deeds, it seems that he has never been seen before. I have nothing about him during my time in the Qin State. As for the Qin army, there is no intelligence." King Youxian shook his head and said. He couldn't even penetrate the border of Beidi County, let alone the entire Qin State, so most of his subordinates were given to him. Collecting intelligence about Beidi County to prevent the Qin army from suddenly coming out to attack them, they were not prepared at all.
"Now the strength and commander of the Qin army are unknown. I think we should take good defense first and then send people to collect intelligence on the Qin army." King Zuo Xian said.
"What King Zuo Xian said makes sense. The situation of the Qin army is unclear. It is easy to suffer losses when fighting the Qin army in this situation. It is better to send people to test nearby and seize a few military forts first to replenish our food and grass, and secondly to test the movements of the Qin army. ." Gongyang Ling also nodded and said.
"Well, send scouts to pay close attention to the movements of the Qin army's camp, and ask the Maodun tribe, the Xie Guyu tribe, and the Chiyue tribe under King Zuo Xian to send people to tentatively attack the nearby military forts and collect food and grass. King Zuo Xian's tribe He and King Youxian are responsible for the safety of the army, and King Youxian sent people forward as a vanguard to test the Qin army's camp," Touman said.
Facing Touman's order, neither King Zuo Xian nor King You Xian objected. Touman's move no longer had the idea of killing the strength of the two of them, but was entirely out of consideration for the entire Huns camp. King Zuoxian and King Youxian are in charge of the tribes in the east and west of the Xiongnu, and the front of the two central plans of the Xiongnu royal court has lost its chief general. As the future king of the Huns, the Maodun tribe is under the command of the current Xiongnu prince Maodun. Mao Dun is less than ten years old now, and there is no one to direct the battle. It is enough to let the generals go out to attack the military fortress. The task of guarding and attacking the Xiongnu camp was naturally given to the Zuoxianwang tribe and the Youxianwang tribe.
Soon the actions of the Xiongnu camp were transmitted back to the Qin army camp. At this moment, the Qin army camp was waiting for the return of the Yulin army.
The mighty Yulin Army returned to the Qin Army camp with beheaded heads, captured people, and war horses. After the results were confirmed, Wei Liao announced the results of the Yulin Army, and the entire Qin Army camp responded. Shocked, the criticisms about the Yulin Army disappeared, replaced by a strong fighting spirit. The achievements of the Yulin Army improved the morale of the entire Qin Army.
Hundreds of families who had already supported the Qin Army arrived. After seeing the performance of the Yulin Army, they all fell into a daze. They all felt incredible. After learning that the Yulin Army was the direct legion and escort of Ying Zheng, they all felt that it was nothing. Big deal. Ying Zheng's escort army is equivalent to the most elite army in the entire Qin State. It is not surprising how high the combat power is. If the Yulin Army is an army of the Qin State Army, then the remaining five countries will not have to play. , just vote directly.
Wei Liao did not forget to ask the general to send him back to Xianyang as soon as possible.
"All gentlemen from the Baijia School have arrived." Meng Wu said to Ziyou.
"We're all here, where are they?" Ziyou asked.
"Disciples from hundreds of schools are in the camp. The ones arriving now include the Mohist family, led by the Mohist Juzi himself, Mr. Fu Nian and Mr. Yan Lu from the Confucian school, Master Xiaoyaozi from the Taoist sect, and Xiaomeng Dashi from the Tian sect. The Zhu family and Situ Wanli from the farmer's family, Gongsun Liji from the famous Gongsun family brought all the killers from the famous family, the Moon God from the Yin and Yang family also came, and there were more than a hundred people from hundreds of families. There are about seven to eight hundred men and disciples brought here," Meng Wu said.
"It's no small feat. All the elite disciples should be here." Ziyou said with some surprise.
Don't think that seven or eight hundred people are small, it also depends on who you compare with. Among the hundreds of schools, take the Mohist family as an example. Although it is said that all the green forest rangers in the world are disciples of the Mohist family, they are equivalent to the green forest heroes headed by the Mohist family, and they are just affiliated with the Mohist family. , and there are probably several thousand real Mohist disciples. After selecting a large number of ordinary disciples, there are only two to three hundred elite disciples. Moreover, the other sects of the Bai School do not have as many disciples as the Mohist School.
Moreover, the people who came were said to be from hundreds of families, but in fact there were not many people. Except for the five largest families, the rest of the people came just to express an attitude. There were also some sects whose entire sects added up to only a few. Ten people can't make any difference even if they come. Supporting the Qin army also depends on qualifications. Otherwise, if you come, it will just look useless, so you don't come at all. Instead, you will stare at the five countries in the Central Plains. If anyone wants to stab Qin in the back at this time, they will do it. when.
"Yes." Meng Wu nodded and said.
"I went to see them, and I saw the commander discussing the latest trends of the Xiongnu." Ziyou said.
"Yes, I'm ready to go."
"You go ahead, I'll go see everyone from the Bai Family."
After Ziyou and Mengwu separated, they headed directly towards the Bai family's camp. At this time, the main families of the Bai family were gathered together and discussing. It was difficult to see the scene where the Mo family and the Yin Yang family could gather together.
"I've met you all," Zi Xingli said.
"Brother Ziyou" Jing Ke waved to Ziyou.
"Junior brother..." "Senior brother..." "Mr. Ziyou." "I have seen the supervisor."
Different people greeted Ziyou with different names. After saluting, Ziyou sat next to Fu Nian. The people who came to support this time were all here.
"Just now we were discussing how to deal with the Huns." Fu Nian said.
"How are you going to deal with the Huns?" Ziyou asked curiously.
"We heard from the soldiers in the army about the Xiongnu. Both the Xiongnu and the barbarians are a serious threat to the Central Plains. The grassland is still being divided, so this threat is not great. Now the Xiongnu is becoming more and more prosperous. In the previous battle at Yanmen Pass, Li Mu destroyed Xiongba, deposed Loufan, and recovered Linhu. It can be said that the Hu people suffered heavy losses. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the Xiongnu unify the grassland." Fu Nian said.
"Yes, the Yuezhi Kingdom, the Xiongnu and the Donghu are standing on three sides on the grassland. The Xiongnu in the middle is even more restricted. In the battle of Yanmen Pass, the Xiongnu also suffered heavy losses, but the strength of the headquarters is still there, while the Donghu was completely defeated. In ten years, the Xiongnu continued to devour Donghu and the Yuezhi Kingdom, and once again raised an army of no less than 200,000. If this continues, the Xiongnu will no longer be able to restrain it. What is the outcome of everyone's discussion?" Ziyou? asked.
In history, the Xiongnu relied on Li Mu to cripple the Donghu. Taking advantage of the Qin State to dominate the world, they occupied the Qilian Mountains and the Hetao area. They defeated the Yuezhi State and moved westward. After capturing a large number of Yuezhi State craftsmen, they obtained The Yuezhi Kingdom's smelting and forging technology allowed the Xiongnu to surpass the Central Plains in smelting, and then annexed Donghu, forming a huge grassland country. It threatened the Central Plains for hundreds of years, forcing the Han Dynasty to negotiate peace in the early Han Dynasty, until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty At that time, the twin treasures of the empire were directly opened, and the Xiongnu who was defeated fled to the desert north, and Central Asia and Europe became unable to take care of themselves.
