To the northwest of Wuhuan Royal Court, in a valley.
There is only one entrance to this valley. The hillside is surrounded by bushes as tall as a person. The slope is covered with dense bushes. The cavalry cannot attack from the surroundings, but can only attack from the front.
Entering the valley, there is an open low-lying flat land, and there are water sources in the mountains, ensuring that there will be no shortage of water in the valley.
At this location, Lu Xuan arranged sentinels to search around the area before finding this area that could easily withstand the cavalry attack.
In the mountains, Lu Xuan's soldiers were roasting mutton.
As the small fire burns, the aroma of meat fills the air, and the roasted golden mutton exudes a strong aroma. For the soldiers under Lu Xuan's command, the sight of such mutton makes people drool.
In fact, mutton stew soup is better.
The mutton is stewed until it is soft and easy to absorb and digest. You can also drink mutton soup.
However, Lu Xuan didn't have enough time to stew the soup, so he could only kill the mutton and roast it. And for this kind of barbecue, there are no extra ingredients, you can only sprinkle a little coarse salt on the lamb.
Even so, it is the best food for ordinary soldiers.
The soldiers roasted the mutton and distributed it quickly.
Lu Xuan took a look and nodded slightly. The soldiers had eaten enough before they had the strength to fight again.
Lu Xuan also ate the mutton wholeheartedly. After he was full, he burped and felt comfortable. He leaned on a stone and enjoyed the calmness on the eve of the war. Tadun hasn't come yet, so I can still take some time to rest.
Lu Xuan rested quietly, and not long after, the sound of rapid footsteps was heard.
A sentry came to Lu Xuan and reported: "Your Majesty, Wuhuan has sent out troops, and Tadun led 20,000 cavalry to kill us. Thanks to us keeping an eye on King Wuhuan's tent early, we were able to discover the news. "
Lu Xuan asked: "Is there only 20,000 cavalry?"
The sentry nodded and said: "There are only 20,000 cavalry and no more infantry."
A smile bloomed on Lu Xuan's face and he said: "It would be easier if Tadun only led the cavalry to attack. The mountain col we found is surrounded by mountains and shrubs. The shrubs that are more than half a person tall make the road rugged and the cavalry cannot charge. You can only come in through the valley entrance."
"We used rocks and trees to defend ourselves, which was enough to delay the attack."
"Send the order and prepare the entire army for war."
Following Lu Xuan's arrangements, the army quickly moved into action, carrying simple horses and placing them layer by layer at the entrance of the valley. These resisting horses can delay the cavalry's offensive, making it impossible for Tadun's cavalry to charge directly.
Lu Xuan led people to the entrance of the valley to wait.
Not long after, smoke and dust were everywhere on the plain official road in the distance, and the sound of horse hooves rumbled.
The Wuhuan cavalry were as powerful as tigers.
The scale is coming.
The 20,000 cavalry led by Tadun quickly arrived outside the valley entrance. Because the valley was surrounded by a circle of bushes, the cavalry could not attack and could only stop and garrison outside.
Lu Xuan looked at the Tadun army that was coming, and his mind was spinning. If he wanted to delay some time now, he had to stabilize the opponent first.
Lu Xuan said loudly: "Tadun, I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan. I didn't expect that you led troops to surround me. But I used the valley to defend myself, and your 20,000 cavalry were useless. If you are sensible, you can retreat on your own. I promise not to do it again." Attack your Wuhuan Royal Court, and everyone will be safe."
Tadun felt angry in his heart, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Are you in peace?
The puppet Lou Ban he wanted to support was killed.
Wuyan, Supuyan and Nanlou, the leaders of Wuhuan tribes he had won over, were also killed.
Of course, it is good for him that these people are dead, after all, there are fewer people restricting him. The problem is that Wuhuan's royal court was breached and burned, causing countless Wuhuan people to be killed in the royal court, causing many casualties of humans and animals, and his prestige was greatly affected.
This is a blood debt.
Tadun had a murderous intention in his heart, but he had rich combat experience. He took a look at the valley, Juma and the surrounding situation. He saw that the cavalry could not get into position. If they really attacked by force, it would not be easy to win.
You can cheat.
What if you deceive people?
Tadun thought of this, showed a confident smile, and said loudly: "Zhao Zilong, you are a talented person and good at using soldiers. Therefore, I will give you a chance. As long as you submit, I will forget the past."
"In the current Han Dynasty, the emperor has become a puppet and has collapsed long ago. You have no use in the Han Dynasty. As long as you submit to me and help me sweep the northern border, when I go south to the Central Plains, you will definitely be made a marquis and a general."
As he spoke, he felt that he was too smart.
These words are very seductive.
Once Zhao Yun came out of the mountain col, he directly captured Zhao Yun and slaughtered Zhao Yun's cavalry. He has never thought about recruiting. Only by killing these people can he maximize his authority and unite people's hearts.
Seeing no reply from Shanzhong, Tadun said again: "Zhao Yun, I have 20,000 cavalry surrounding this area. You have been surrounded and cannot escape. You have only one way, and that is to surrender."
Lu Xuan chuckled when he heard Tadun's words.
This Tadun is so good.
He wanted to delay, but Tadun actually took the initiative to surrender. Isn't this a perfect opportunity to delay?
Lu Xuan stood in the valley and said loudly: "Tandun, I don't believe what you say. Once I put down my weapon and leave the valley, won't I fall into a trap? If you want to kill me then, I will be the meat on the chopping board."
Tadun felt happy when he heard this.
Have the opportunity!
Although this Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong are unpredictable in their military use and aggressive in their attacks, they appear to be people with little city government or political acumen.
This man can cheat.
Without any hesitation, Tadun said loudly: "Zhao Zilong, as long as you come out and surrender, I swear to God that I will not treat you badly, let alone kill you. I will not kill all the people under your command."
"Now, put down your weapons and come out."
"Everyone, come out and surrender."
"I guarantee your safety."
When Tadun said this, his voice suddenly became sharp again, and he threatened: "If you don't surrender, after I break the valley, all the people under your command will die without a burial place."
Lu Xuan sneered in his heart and said perfunctorily: "I'll think about it."
Tadun became excited and said loudly: "Think about it quickly, otherwise, I will launch an attack."
Lu Xuan stopped talking to Tadun.
It's just stalling for time anyway.
Lu Xuan, Zhao Yun, and Xu Chu sat at the entrance of the valley, chatting, and time passed by little by little. Two quarters of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Xuan was leisurely and leisurely, without any worries, but Tadun outside the valley, his patience had disappeared.
Tadun urged: "Zhao Yun, do you want to surrender or not?"
Lu Xuan said in a tough tone: "I'm still thinking about it. I want to convince everyone under my command. Why are you anxious? After waiting for such a long time, don't you have any patience?"
Tadun fell silent again.
He raised his brows suddenly and looked at the rows of resisting horses in front of him. If these resisting horses were not there and if the opponent was not prepared at the entrance of the valley, his cavalry would not be able to attack directly. He would have already killed them.
Han Jian had some bad premonitions in his heart and asked tentatively: "Dad Shanyu, is Zhao Yun deliberately stalling for time?"
Tadun frowned and said, "He doesn't have any need."
Han Jian asked again: "Could there be more troops?"
"Less likely!"
Tadun looked confident and determined, and said: "We have troops guarding our rear, so there will be no problems. What's more, Zhao Yun has no other troops, so it is impossible for him to make a surprise attack."
Han Jian said: "The villain has never felt that Zhao Yun has bad intentions."
Tadun rolled his eyes and said, "I'll threaten him again."
He looked towards the valley and said loudly again: "Zhao Yun, come out of the valley immediately and surrender, otherwise I will attack immediately. You are procrastinating. Do you really think that you can delay it by procrastinating?"
Lu Xuan knew that Tadun couldn't bear it anymore.
At any rate, it's not bad after delaying it for such a long time.
Lu Xuan said loudly: "Tandun, you are so smart. You can see through my plan at a glance. I just want to delay time, and I just want to tease you. Are you happy, happy or not, are you surprised?"
"You are such a beard, you drink blood like hair, and you have such little brains, but you still want to trick me into going out and kill me. Do you think I will be as stupid as you, and will lead the troops to go to the seaside road for nothing? "
The teasing words reached Tadun's ears, and Tadun became furious.
Just kidding?
Dog brain?
Zhao Yun deserves to die.
Tadun thought about fooling the other party. If Zhao Yun came out of the mountain innocently, he would win without spending a single soldier, but now he was ridiculed.
