735. The intention of the Huns
After the envoy of the Qi State left, the fierce general beside Mao Dun looked at Mao Dun Shan Yu and asked, "Shan Yu, should we withdraw from the Zhao State?" ”
"We have lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and Fu Gao sent a battle report from the front line, telling me that as long as he is given time, he can break through the defenses of Zhao and enter the hinterland of Zhao State!" Hu Yanfeng Zhan looked at Mao Dun Shan Yu and said.
Hu Yan Fengzhan is the patriarch of the Hu Yan family, although he is already over sixty years old, but he has a pivotal position in the Huns, and his child Hu Yan Hao is a personal favorite general who is alone by his side.
Mao Dunshan said in the evil battle: "This withdrawal, of course, we can't withdraw the troops easily, after all, we have been angry for so long, once we break through the Zhao State, I have nothing to fear from the Qi State!" ”
"But now that we haven't broken through Zhao State, we still have to give this face, tell Fu Gao to let him fight Zhao State in a week, and continue to attack if he wins, I am willing to clear the obstacles for him, let him attack with confidence, and withdraw the army if he loses!" Mao Dun Shan Yu looked at Hu Yan Fengzhan and said.
"No!" Hu Yanfeng Zhan put one hand on his chest and performed a ritual for Mao Dun Shan Yu, which was a bow on the grassland.
"I hope this Volgaku can fight for breath!" Mao Dun Shan Yu looked at Hu Yan Fengzhan and said.
Originally, in this expedition to Zhao, Mao Dunshan planned to let the people of the Helian family do this thing, but Hu Yanfeng stopped Mao Dun and promoted Fu Gao to be the general of the Xiongnu and attack Zhao.
Fu Gao is not a member of the Huyan family, but he has a cordial relationship with the Huyan family, so Hu Yanfeng Zhan recommended him, and he did this mainly because he was worried that the Helian family had broken through the Zhao State and made great contributions, threatening his status as the Huyan family.
Of course, the main reason for accepting the proposal of the Huyan family was that the Helian family had been expanding in the west of the Xiongnu and had been getting bigger, and Mao Dun was also worried that his status would rise too fast and threaten his status, so he had to accept the proposal of the Huyan family.
And the expansion of the Huyan family in the Xiongnu, the dead, the crippled, and the capable of fighting have basically reached the loess, and Hu Yanhot is also a capable warrior, but that is his youngest son, and he is still counting on him to take his place.
Hu Yan Lianzhan could only retreat to the Fu tribe of the Xiongnu, which was not his family, but was very close to his family, the Fu tribe used to be a small tribe in the north, less than 100 people, and later under the siege of the Hu army with the Hu people, the Fu people also surrendered to the Xiongnu and became part of the Xiongnu.
And after they joined the Xiongnu, they naturally became a part of the Huyan family's forces, and the Huyan family was still very good to them, fighting for a lot of living space and resources for their family.
Today's Fu family is a hundred times better than when they did not join the Huns before, and this kindness is always remembered by the people of the Fu family.
The Xiongnu was a country, but it was a loose alliance, it was an alliance of hundreds of tribes, and of course this alliance was formed because of the strength of the force.
After Mao Dun became the patriarch of the 'Sui Luo', with the strength of his family, he annexed several small tribes around him, united the big tribes of Helian and Huyan, and formed the initial form of the Xiongnu.
Subsequently, the external expansion, every tribe, is to force to make it submit, or lobby to submit, slowly the Xiongnu is so huge.
Originally, Mao Dun felt that he could unify the north and complete a very great achievement, but the Donghu tribe and the Bohai tribe were very large, and it was not a simple matter to defeat, and now with the support of the wealthy Qi State, Mao Dun Shan Yu's plan to unify the north was shelved.
However, he integrated hundreds of tribes and united hundreds of tribes to form a huge force, which is a very great achievement in the history of the grassland.
A week later, Fu Gao received the letter from Hu Yan Lian Zhan, and after reading the letter, Fu Gao looked at the clansmen on the side and said: "Prepare for a decisive battle, win, attack, defeat, and evacuate!" ”
"Is it going to be Armageddon? Didn't you have to wait for reinforcements from the Xiongnu headquarters in the early stage and counterattack? Fugao's son, Fushan, looked at Fugao and said.
"At first, I had a good plan like this, but Da Dan Yu received pressure from Qi State to give up attacking Zhao State, otherwise he would incite Donghu and Bohai to attack us!" Fu Gao looked at his son and said.
"This Qi country is really unloading the mill and killing the donkey, we came to share the pressure of the Zhao country for him, and now that we are used, let us get out, this Qi country is really unreasonable!" After hearing Fu Gao's words, Fu Shan was very angry.
"This is also a matter of no choice, Da Shan Yu also does not want to withdraw the troops, originally I discussed with Da Shan Yu in the letter, let the Helian family bring the soldiers and horses from the west to support us, but who knew that at this time, Qi Guo actually put pressure on Da Shan Yu!" Fu Gao said with a sigh.
During the stalemate with Zhao, Fu Gao had been communicating with Mao Dunshan Yu, hoping to get the support of the Helian family in the west, so as to obtain reinforcements and counterattack Zhao.
And Mao Dun also agreed to Fu Gao's request from the letter at the beginning, the Helian family was raising horses in the west at this time, and there was no war, and the western Xiongnu basically had no threat, so it was no problem to let them help Fu Gao.
But who knew that at this time, Qi suddenly put pressure on Mao Dun, and at this time he also learned the information, that is, Donghu and Bohai transferred troops, and there was a trend of westward expansion.
If he does not withdraw his troops, the forces of Donghu and Bohai will inevitably attack the Xiongnu, and the two forces of Bohai and Donghu, in fact, Mao Dun does not look at them at all, after all, although these two forces are huge, they are also poor, and they will basically be abolished after a few fights.
But thanks to the funding given to them by the Qi State, it slowly grew stronger, and it had the strength not to be afraid of his Huns, and Mao Dun also learned that the Qi State had infiltrated these two forces, and it is no exaggeration to say that the Donghu and Bohai Sea are actually the vassal forces of the Qi State.
As long as the monarch of Qi was willing, then Qi could easily annex Donghu and Bohai, but Qi did not do so.
This is mainly because the hand of Qi State does not want to completely stretch out to the north, and the affairs of Kyushu still need Qi State to intervene, and Qi State is currently just trying to block the expansion of the Xiongnu, so that the Xiongnu are unable to expand, and they cannot threaten the security of Qi State.
"However, Da Shan Yu also said that if we win the decisive battle with Zhao Guo, he is willing to withstand all the pressure to fully support us, so whether we withdraw our troops or not depends on our performance in this decisive battle!" Fu Gao looked at his son and said.
"I heard that Zhao Yong, the monarch of Zhao State, has returned, and he is still on the front line, and he has integrated the soldiers of Zhao State, we want to win, it's not easy!" Fushan looked at Fugao and said.
