Autumn...
The Xiongnu Chanyu Touman summoned the leaders of various tribes in the camp.
Outside the camp, cattle, sheep, and horses are fat and strong, water and grass are plentiful, and offspring are in droves.
Autumn is the harvest season for farming people, and it is also the harvest season for nomadic people.
Of course, it is also their last good time, because they will face the severe winter next.
During the long winter, they could only rely on merging, killing, and plundering to obtain enough food for the winter. Some made a lot of money, while others licked their wounds.
The Huns also faced this problem. After autumn, it was winter. This was a rare time for them to raise troops, and it was also a time when they had to act in order to raise supplies for the winter.
"The Qin State has invaded our pastures, and the Hetao area has been plundered by them. Their Great Wall is getting longer and longer, and they even plan to encircle the south of Yinshan Mountain. We must take back our land!"
Inside the camp, it’s time for military discussions!
At present, the Xiongnu have gradually unified under the leadership of Touman, but Donghu is strong and Yueshi is prosperous, and there is another Qin State in the south. As Touman gets older and older, his ambitions become smaller and smaller, plus the four directions They all had powerful political powers, but the Xiongnu were on the verge of reaching their limit and were completely locked in the area from Yinshan Mountain to the north of Hetao.
Sitting in the main seat with a handsome head and a golden sword, he looked at the person who made the sound with sharp eyes.
It was Touman's eldest son, Moton, who spoke.
Of course Touman does not want to be an enemy of Qin...
Meng Tian defeated the Xiongnu for more than 700 miles, which established the prestige of Qin. It was an enemy more powerful than Donghu and Yuezhi. Touman was older. Compared to Qin, if he had to fight, he would prefer Donghu or Yuezhi. Yuezhi, at least everyone is on the same level, not being crushed.
However, in recent years, under the leadership of Touman, the Huns have not been able to gain an advantage in the wars with the Donghu and Yuezhi, and they have fought for enough development space for the Huns, and people's hearts... have begun to stir.
When Mao Dun spoke, several more tribal leaders stood up and agreed with Mao Dun's idea. There were also members of the Luotang clan who stood up for Mo Dun. It seemed as if Mo Dun was the general trend.
It is true that since he had his youngest son, Touman wanted to abolish the direct lineage and establish a concubine.
However, Mao Dun was capable, able to convince the crowd, and his rewards and punishments were fair. All tribes, large and small, recognized Mao Dun, which made Tou Man difficult to make a decision.
So Touman came up with a cool idea and sent Mao Dun to the Yuezhi as a hostage. As soon as Mao Dun arrived at the Yuezhi, Touman couldn't wait to organize his troops to fight against the Yuezhi, intending to use the Yuezhi's hands to kill Mao Dun.
As a result, on a night of chaos and chaos, Mao Dun took advantage of the fire to seize the horse and escape, and actually escaped and returned to the Huns smoothly.
Touman's plan failed, and the old ushered in a natural backlash. In addition, the Xiongnu gradually came to a standstill under the leadership of Touman, and the various Xiongnu tribes were increasingly eager to change to a leader who could lead them to continue to develop and grow.
Touman was in the wrong and the royal family no longer supported him, so he could only use his military power to compensate Maodun.
Now Maodun has attracted more than 10,000 troops and is completely independent, and his relationship with Touman is no longer close.
"Chanyu, when the Qin State took the Hetao, you said that the Qin State was not an enemy that the Xiongnu could provoke. We could abandon the Hetao and attack Yuezhi and Donghu. But in these years, after we gave up the pastures of Fengze, what did you say to us? The battle between Donghu and Yuezhi did not achieve any victory. Now the Qin people's Great Wall will be connected soon. When their Great Wall is built, we will no longer be able to go south, and the Hetao will no longer belong to the Huns. The Qin people will even By using the Great Wall to reach the Yinshan Mountains, where will the Huns go to graze at that time?"
The Luantang clan is also the clan of Touman, the royal family of the Huns.
The person who spoke this time was Di Xie, Tou Man's younger brother and a supporter of Mo Dun.
There are many people who are dissatisfied with Touman's cowardice, especially when Touman's war against the Huns and Yuezhi failed to achieve any results.
Modun and Di Xie opened their mouths, and the remaining tribal leaders also expressed their opinions upon seeing this.
Touman's own cattle and sheep will definitely have no shortage of space to graze, and the royal family will definitely not be without territory. However, as their living space continues to shrink, the pressure to survive is also increasing.
They are willing to listen to Touman because Touman's tribe is strong and he can lead them to gain living space. Now?
They must be dissatisfied that they have only sent out troops after fighting for so long and have not reaped any benefits.
At present, there are conflicts within the Luotuan clan, and the leaders of the tribes are no longer afraid. At worst, they need to change their leaders.
Seeing the questioning, Touman looked closely at Mao Dun, Di Xie, and the royal family of the Luotian clan.
If the Luotang clan is monolithic within the clan, Touman can now ignore the opinions of the small tribe and continue to use troops against the Hu Yues clan in the east.
But now, Touman realized that not only the tribes, big and small, were dissatisfied with him, but there were also people within the royal family who were dissatisfied with him.
For example, one's own son, one's own brother...
In this military discussion, he was almost forced to attack Qin before he even expressed his position.
"Look, what have I done to make you not even want to call me brother when you talk to me?"
"What have I done to make you even unwilling to salute me when I speak?"
"Under my leadership, the Luotang clan dominated the entire Yinshan Mountains from one tribe, thus establishing the Xiongnu. I led you to seize Fengze's pastures, fat cattle and sheep, and beautiful women. But now, what makes You guys are standing here questioning me, is it because my sword is no longer sharp?"
Touman stood up and drew his sword, and everyone in the tent was in solemn silence.
"My son, what makes you so offended by me?" Touman came to Moton with a sharp sword in his hand.
"Father, do you now dare to point your sharp sword at your brothers and heirs instead of our enemies?"
Mo Dun faced Tou Man's sword and asked, without any fear, he took a step forward.
Touman wanted to use his former power and achievements to regain his face, but he refused to let him go!
The incompatibility between father and son made the camp even more solemn.
"I will pick up my sword and charge towards the Qin people. I will lead my tribe to personally lead this war and take back our pasture!"
"But you, my son, should not be so offended by me!"
Snapped!
The riding crop hit Mao Dun hard on the face.
"Chan Yuyingming!"
After being whipped, Mao Dun fell to his knees and shouted that Tou Man was wise.
It doesn't matter, it's just a whip, as long as Touman is willing to use troops against Qin as commander.
This is forced into the palace!
If you don't lead the Xiongnu southward, then you will get out of your position as Chanyu!
After escaping from death that time, in Modu's heart, his father was already dead.
…
And on the other side, Shangjun!
In the school grounds, Fusu and Meng Tian were reviewing the troops.
There are many knights on the campus of Nottingham University.
He holds a long weapon, a long bow hanging on his side, and a quiver on his back.
Everyone is lightly armored and equipped with saddles and shoes on top of their war horses.
Today, in Shangjun, there are thirty-five thousand cavalrymen equipped with three-piece horse suits.
The formation was neat, the troops and horses were solemn, and they were ready for war.
Among the cavalry teams in Nuo Da, there is one that is the most eye-catching.
I saw three hundred elite cavalry, shining with golden light!
The men and horses are all wearing bronze armor!
People are heavily armored, and horses are also heavily armored!
The horses are the best horses carefully selected in the entire Shangjun, and the soldiers are also the most elite cavalry carefully selected in the entire Shangjun.
All the war horses have long physical strength, all the soldiers have excellent riding skills, their fighting skills are evident in the whole army, and the weapons in their hands are also horse-shaped weapons.
Ma Shan's stuff is not something that ordinary people can play around with.
Just by looking at the weapons installed, the eliteness of these three hundred men can be seen.
Three hundred, ride again!
They looked a little out of place with Nuo Da's cavalry team. Meng Tian looked at them over and over again, unable to take his eyes away at all.
"With these three hundred heavy cavalry, as long as we seize the opportunity, we will definitely be able to penetrate the Huns' battle formation in one fell swoop!" Meng Tian said with excitement on his face.
"Can you take the initiative?" Fusu asked in a deep voice.
"It's embarrassing. It's so hard to find the main force of the Xiongnu..." Meng Tian shook his head.
Not everyone is Huo Qubing and has his or her own GPS navigation.
Why did Da Qin build the Great Wall? Is it because of cowardice?
In fact, this is not the case. The Great Wall has always been an offensive bridgehead, and its offensive role is far greater than its defensive role.
The vast grasslands and deserts of Nuovo have no bridgehead to penetrate into, making the battle too difficult to fight.
"Then put him in the river and beat him!" Fusu said without any hesitation.
"The cultivated land in Hetao..." Meng Tian opened his mouth.
"Ten days! There are only ten days to harvest! If you can't harvest, they will be burned. The organization will move to Shangjun, and the walls will be clear!" Fusu said.
This is a great opportunity to break the backbone of the Huns in a battle. There should be no womanly kindness at this time.
It is unrealistic to go out to fight the main force of the Huns. The road conditions are unfamiliar, the logistics are under great pressure, and the target cannot be found.
And objectively speaking, it is also a big problem to let these 300 heavy cavalry run out of the Hetao to find the main force of the Huns. This is a heavy cavalry...
This thing cannot do without baggage and logistics, and it cannot run far.
Putting the opponent into the newly occupied land in the Loop is the best choice.
Although the crops are not yet fully mature, they will be able to harvest some if they rush to harvest. At worst, they may turn around and ask Xianyang for grain and grass support.
There is only one chance, and the Xiongnu still doesn't understand the equipment advantages of Da Qin.
The Huns will definitely enter the Hetao, and they can only fight in the Hetao.
No matter how bad the situation is in Shangjun, there will still be a city wall surrounding it, unless they are crazy...
"only!"
Fusu's decision made Meng Tian completely relieved.
In fact, Fusu has never been a prince who has no independent opinions and behaves like a weak woman.
On the contrary, most people think that Fusu is very brave, and he has the blood of the old Qin people in his body.
Fusu's kindness and weakness were only directed at his brothers and sisters, and his stubborn temper was also the same as that of the First Emperor.
"What a pity..." Meng Tian looked at the cavalry preparing to go and sighed for no reason.
When fighting with one's own cavalry, they are, after all, just copying a cat and imitating a tiger.
He could only send the Huns to the Hetao in an attempt to fight a war of annihilation, rather than a long-distance mobile war.
If that person comes...he will definitely sneer at his own tactics, and then rush into the Prairie Song Desert without hesitation.
