After Cai Wenji left, Su Che called Jiang Wei over again.
"Lord, are you looking for me?"
Su Che 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, Su Che was stunned. What kind of victory would he achieve? Naturally, he wanted to completely eliminate the Xiongnu.
However, Su Che himself also knew that it was unrealistic to destroy the Xiongnu with his current strength. Even if he mobilized all Xue Rengui and the Xuanjia Army, it would be difficult.
Southern Xinjiang has been fighting with the Huns for so many years. Although they have never penetrated into Southern Xinjiang, they still dare not cross Tianmen Pass to attack the Huns.
Only a few tribes came to join Kerbo this time, but they gathered a total of 380,000 troops. There were many tribes like this in the Xiongnu territory.
Once Su Che leads 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, Su Che will no longer be able to deal with the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Therefore, Su Che 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 Southern Xinjiang. It is best to find a way to get them to cede territory and pay compensation. Su Che has been coveting those gold mines in the Xiongnu territory for a long time!
Jiang Wei obviously saw what Su Che 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 300,000 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."
Su Che nodded. Jiang Wei was right. As long as Kerbo could be put into dire straits, it would be much easier to let him cede territory and pay compensation.
After all, the Xiongnu population is sparse. If all the more than 300,000 men were buried here, it would be enough to shake the foundation of the Xiongnu. Kerbo 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 Su Che 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, Su Che's eyes narrowed. The Huns are just 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 said that, Su Che 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 60,000 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.”
Su Che nodded, and Jiang Wei had the same idea as him: "The Huns have no food and grass. They can hold on for five days at most. If they cannot attack Tianmen Pass in five days, they will have to retreat. The Xuanjia Army only needs to bring enough food for seven 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! What a brilliant idea! ! !
Kerbo would never have thought that his entire army's attack on Tianmen Pass would actually give Su Che a chance to defeat him!
The key to this battle is whether Su Che can hold Tianmen Pass. As long as the Xiongnu cannot break through Tianmen Pass, they will become lambs to be slaughtered, at Su Che's mercy!
Su Che had Euphorbia Warriors and Zhuge Liannu, so he was quite confident in defending a small Tianmen Pass.
What's more, as long as we hold on tonight, the reinforcements from the six 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 Tongzhou and Southern Xinjiang, an army stretching for dozens of miles came in force, led by two middle-aged men wearing python robes, none other than King Chen and King Xiang.
"Brother Emperor, are you sure that the Xuanjia Army in Nanjiang City has gone north to fight against the Huns?" King Xiang asked.
King Chen smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I have placed spies in Nanjiang City a long time ago. Now the entire Nanjiang City knows that Su Che 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 Chen snorted coldly, "What kind of disturbance can that little girl Wang Shiliu cause? Now that the world is in chaos, we should quickly increase our strength. That old guy Su Hao is dead, and it is precisely to win the South It’s a good time to build a new territory. When the time comes, you and I will be able to occupy the land of the four states and compete for the world!”
King Chen and King Xiang are both descendants of the Wang family. If calculated carefully, they are Wang Shiliu's uncles.
As disciples of the royal family, they naturally could not tolerate a girl named Wang Shiliu ascending the throne, and they inevitably had dissatisfaction.
"It's just that I'm afraid that Su Che is not simple. Didn't he say that Li Yicheng was killed by him?" King Xiang was still hesitant.
"Don't worry, doesn't Su Che have a hundred thousand black armor troops? Let's not talk about whether Su Che can defeat the Xiongnu. Even if he comes back victorious, we will have captured the Southern Border City long ago. With my two soldiers and horses It adds up to two hundred thousand, why are you still afraid of him?" King Chen'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?
Wang Shiliu, a female, can be the emperor, why can't he, the seven-foot-tall man of Prince Xiang, be the emperor?
After taking over southern Xinjiang, he will find a way to kill King Chen. By then, he will be alone in the four states and have hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if the Tiger Suppressing King comes, he will have to be on an equal footing with him!
King Chen smiled slightly, naturally not knowing what King Xiang was thinking. He turned to the generals behind him and shouted: "Let the people behind you hurry up. You must get to Nanjiang City before sunset tomorrow!"
"King Chen has an order to speed up the march. We must arrive at Nanjiang City before sunset tomorrow!" The messenger quickly conveyed King Chen's order.
King Chen was very satisfied, with contentment written all over his face. He was already imagining the scene of breaking into Nanjiang City and sitting on the throne of Nanjiang King.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly reached everyone's ears. King Chen was startled and quickly looked around, only to see a cavalryman wearing black armor charging towards them from all directions.
