Chapter 94: The Southern Xiongnu are single in the Qiang Canal
It's a pity that this one was shot and couldn't ask anything.
Compared with the Xianbei people and the Karasuma people, the Xiongnu talents are the most difficult on the grassland.
They are more numerous and more ferocious, and for hundreds of years, they have been the overlords of the steppe.
It's just that the Xiongnu are also divided now, and their strength is not as good as before, but even so, the divided Huns are not something that the Xianbei people and Karasuma people can provoke.
Two Hun spies, one was shot and the other fled.
Zhao Hui had to be careful.
At that moment, let Zhang Wangliaohua take a dozen people, take the flying lamp and wolf smoke, and follow in the direction where the Huns fled.
The flying lantern is the Kong Ming lantern, and Zhao Hui got it out for him early, which is conducive to transmitting information.
At night, if an enemy is spotted, the flying lights are raised, and during the day, wolf smoke is lit.
Zhang Wang and Liao Hua took more than a dozen people, leaving one person every few tens of miles, extending to a hundred miles away.
As soon as they notice a large number of enemies, they will immediately light flying lanterns or wolf smoke.
It's a pity that Zhao Hui can't get the lenses of the telescope, otherwise if he has a telescope, it will be easier to find the enemy's whereabouts on the battlefield and prepare in time.
After sending Zhang Wang and Liao Hua out, Zhao Hui asked the rest of the people to continue to rest.
Although the Huns appeared, the members of the Modao team were not nervous, and when it was time to sleep, they still slept as usual.
If it were replaced by other troops, so few people were in the steppe, and the Huns were found, they would definitely run away as soon as possible.
The Huns were not far from Zhao Hui's camp, that is, more than a hundred miles away.
If it is in Dahan, an army dominated by infantry, it will take a day, or even two days, to cross more than a hundred miles.
But in the steppe, the nomads, who are mainly cavalry, only need to spend more than an hour if the war horses sprint with all their might.
"Agul, why are you the only ones coming back? What about Samuto? The Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Qiangqu asked.
Compared with the Northern Xiongnu, the strength of the Southern Xiongnu was weaker, and they were always worried about being annexed by the Xiongnu.
"Shan Yu, Satok was killed, and we saw a group of Han people in the east, and they caught the herd of horses." Aguli said.
"Han Chinese? How did the Han people appear on the steppe? Qiang Qu asked.
This group of horses, Qiangqu Shan Yu also targeted it, but he didn't expect to be preempted by Zhao Hui. When he arrived, he saw that the herd had been scattered into many branches.
As a grassland people, Qiangqu knows very well that this is because the horse king of the horse herd has an accident.
A herd of 15,000 horses, among which the king of horses is even he, the Hun Shan Yu also wants to possess it.
So after hearing the news, he personally led two thousand people out.
If King Ma was captured by the Xianbei people or the Karasuma people, Qiangqu definitely had to take it back.
But since he is a Han Chinese, he now needs to rely on the help of the Han people to defend against the Northern Xiongnu. Qiangqu Shan Yu didn't want to tear his face with the Han people.
If the Han people are hostile again because of a horse, or even suffer from the enemy because of this, and finally let the Southern Xiongnu perish, Qiangqu will become the sinner of the Southern Xiongnu through the ages.
Although such a horse king is rare, but as the Qiangqu of the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, it is not completely without a chance, this time he missed it, he can wait for the next time.
After learning that it was Han, Qiangqu was ready to give up.
The Southern Xiongnu still need to recuperate, and his target is the tribes of the Northern Xiongnu.
But Qiang Qu chose to give up, but his son Hu Chuquan, who came with him, was unwilling to give up.
"How many people are there in those Han Chinese?" Hu Chuquan asked out loud.
"It's too dark to see, but there will definitely be no more than three hundred." Aguli said.
Hu Chuquan sneered: "Just three hundred Han people, dare to enter the prairie, do you really think that our prairie eagles are afraid of them?" ”
As a Hun people, the young and vigorous Hu Chuquan was very dissatisfied, why should they rely on the Han now.
"Da Danyu, we can kill them all, and then blame the Xianbei people." Hu Chu Quan said.
This area is not the place where they have activities in the Southern Xiongnu, and this time Qiangqu only brought 2,000 people out.
really killed all the Han people, no one knew that they did it.
Qiang Qushan is now also a last resort to attach himself to the Han and claim to the Han, deep down, he also regards the Han as an enemy.
But to deal with the Han Dynasty, he could only wait until he first unified the whole Xiongnu before he could officially start a war with the Han Dynasty, and the Huns at that time would have a chance of winning when facing the Han Dynasty.
Qiang Qu didn't agree right away, originally he wanted to give up, but he needed to think about it now.
The hundreds of Han people in the east should be from Youzhou. It was more than a hundred miles from them.
And they traveled at least three hundred miles from here to Youzhou.
He has 2,000 people, and the Han people are about 300, so you can add a little more, and count them as 500 people.
But will the 500 Han people be the opponent of the 2,000 Huns? His 2,000 people are not ordinary Huns, but his elite guards in Shan Yuting, and their strength is stronger than that of ordinary Huns.
Thinking of this, Qiangqu Shan Yu also smiled.
Although the Xiongnu were divided, although he is now a vassal to the Han Dynasty, it does not mean that he really wants to see anyone's face.
He is still a Xiongnu Shan Yu, with 100,000 in his hands and the most powerful cavalry force in the world.
It's just a few hundred Han people, what does he have to worry about?
Even if it is known by the Great Han, is it true that the Great Han will send hundreds of thousands of troops to exterminate himself because of these hundreds of people?
A horse king, even if he doesn't use it himself, he can sell it, and he can get tens of millions of dollars from the hands of the Han people.
Qiangqu took two thousand elite guards, guided by Aguli, who had escaped, and killed Zhao Hui's camp.
But they didn't know that they had just started to act when they were discovered by Zhang Wang, who came with them.
Zhang Wang lit the flying lantern as soon as possible, and in this dark night, a lamp slowly floated up, flying higher and higher.
Liao Hua, who was dozens of miles away, also immediately lit the flying lantern in his hand after seeing the flying lantern rising from Zhang Wang.
Qiang Qu Shan Yu was riding on a war horse, looking at the flying lanterns floating in the sky in front of him, and asked his subordinates, "What is in the sky ahead?" ”
But none of the 2,000 guards could answer Qiangqu's question.
"Shan Yu, let me shoot it down."
"What to shoot, that's the eyes of the Kunlun God, it's watching us." Qiangqu got off his horse and knelt on the ground reverently.
The two thousand guards knelt down in unison, and after some prayers, Qiang Qu sat back on his horse.
"With the blessing of the Kunlun God, I will reunify the grassland and bring back the glory of the grassland eagle." Qiang Qu shouted.
Qiangqu believes that tonight's events will not be long before they spread throughout the prairie.
Those Xiongnu tribes in the north, there will be many people who will choose to take refuge in him.
