Chapter 5: The Siege of Mayi

"Big order, good news! Good news! Bank of China Yue ran into the big tent excitedly. Several naked dancers picked up their clothes in a panic to cover their exposed bodies. Da Shan Yu sat in the middle, his bearded face buried in the chest of a woman beside him.

"What's the matter, rushing in in such a panic. I give you the right to see me at any time, but I don't let you use it that way. Da Shan Yu's face was full of unhappiness, and no one would be in a good mood if he was disturbed at this time.

"Big Order, good news!" Zhong Xingyue's face turned red, and he said excitedly: "This is the news from Chang'an ten days ago, the emperor of the Han people and the Marquis of Lintong had a falling out. The Marquis of Lintong has now reversed out of Chang'an and gone to a piece of land on the other side of the sea. Da Dan Yu, you can send troops. ”

"Really?" Da Shan Yu pushed away the naked woman next to him and stood up excitedly.

"It's true, this is Chang'an's nail that was finally inquired about. It is said that the cause of the incident was because of a woman, and later the Han emperor promised to make the Marquis of Lintong a prince. But the Empress Dowager interfered again, and the matter finally got out of control. The Marquis of Lintong was furious and fled, but the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty did not dare to stop him.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty also claimed that the Marquis of Lintong was just going to meet his old friend Jimo Marquis. But the insiders of Chang'an know that the Marquis of Lintong has gone out of the other side of the Han in the sea. ”

Zhong Xingyue tried his best to calm his mood, and said what he knew as gently as possible.

"Good, good. Without that black-armored cavalry, we can plunder the Han realm again. Come. Summons all the princes to come. We're going to get rich in the Han people's place, hahaha! ”

A loud horn sounded, and hundreds of elite horsemen rushed out of Da Shan Yu's royal court and rushed to the various tribes of the grassland, conveying Da Shan Yu's instructions.

The grasslands are boiling, and grazing is not possible in winter. The fact that he could not go to Han to loot made the life of the shepherd tight, and he could finally go to Han to loot again. Almost every tribe sent its bravest warriors, for nothing but to get a little more back.

Singing and dancing to see off the warriors who were about to set foot on the battlefield, the sorcerer jumped and jumped on the side of the road and prayed to the god Kunlun to bless his children and grandchildren with a safe return.

50,000 soldiers and horses soon gathered around the royal court, and the Huns were all cavalry. The big order took only five days. He gathered all the forces in the eastern part of the Great Xiongnu. Except that the army that is far away in the West is too far away. The military minister Shan Yu almost requisitioned a force that he could muster.

"Warriors of the Great Huns, today I will lead you to crusade against those damned Han Chinese. During our expedition to the Western Regions, these Han Chinese attacked us in a despicable manner. They plundered our cattle and sheep and slaughtered our relatives. There is hatred flowing in every felt bag of the prairie. Now the people of the Kunlun God.

Let's use the flame of revenge. Burn those damned Han Chinese. We're going to level their villages. The men who kill them rob them of their women, their food, their wealth.

We are to enjoy the wine in the houses of the Han people and enjoy the attentive service of their women. We will also take their children into slavery for us and our children and grandchildren. The people of the god Kunlun. Raise your weapons. Follow me, the fearless Da Dan Yu set off! ”

The military minister Shan Yu sent out his own roar to the black crowd opposite, and the encouraging words made the Hun men all blush with excitement. Many of their homes were destroyed by the clouds, and their cattle and sheep were plundered. Women, the elderly, and even babies were mercilessly slaughtered, and the horror of that time is still vivid in retrospect.

Now, they want to follow Da Shan Yu to the Han Realm for revenge. Let those hateful Han people pay for their blood debts, and let them know that the blood of the Huns will not be shed in vain.

The brigade set out in a long procession, and the first was the team of King Huqiang. Amu carried a bow bag on his back, and a large knife hung from his saddle. On the other side is a quiver filled with arrows. He wants to take revenge, for the sake of his family, for the sake of the vanished Gu'er.

This march was very distinctive, and Da Dan Yu planned to bypass the Great Wall of Dingxiang in the clouds. Then march along the frozen Yellow River and head south to Mayi. If you besiege Mayi Shun, then take Taiyuan by chance. It was a big city of the Han Dynasty, and if you could conquer the wealth and women you could get, you would definitely be able to enjoy the Huns for several years.

Just after the fifteenth year, the Han border army was still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year. Living on the border, it is not easy to have a peaceful year. In the past, every year the Huns would take advantage of the winter to come to detain the pass and plunder. Since Yunhou sacked the steppe twice, the Huns were much more honest.

I heard that the Hetao grassland is now about to be fenced off by the newly built Great Wall, and the successful experience will soon be replicated. I heard that the Great Wall in the clouds was going to be repaired in the grassland, and I really don't know what kind of expression those Huns would have when they saw that the Great Wall was repaired in front of their felt bags.

The paralyzed border army did not even send scouts to inspect the situation in the territory of the Xiongnu. Even if some of the lieutenants sent out scouts, those scouts would find a place to come back in a few days and report that they were safe. Anyway, the Huns were already frightened by Yunhou, and they hid in Mobei and no longer dared to harass the Han realm.

It wasn't until the black pressure of the Huns approached the city that the generals guarding the pass realized that something was wrong. They closed the doors in a panic, and some of the people who did not have time to retreat cried helplessly under the city. But the guards of the city did not dare to let any of them in, and the Huns' horses were too fast. It is very likely that these refugees will follow the influx of these refugees.

The black-pressed Hun cavalry was two miles away, and the refugees seemed to have foreseen their fate. They no longer wept or beat the gates, but sat down mournfully under the gates. An unknown fate awaits.

To everyone's surprise, the Huns did not attack the pass. Instead, they bypassed the clouds and continued their march west along the Great Wall. The defender in the cloud sent Pegasus to inform the Dingxiang guard, and when the Dingxiang defender was ready to meet the enemy. The Huns actually went around again, when they saw that these Huns actually stepped on the frozen Yellow River. The hearts of the Dingxiang guards are cold, because as long as they go south along the frozen Yellow River, they will be Mayi.

The gloomy sky was full of haze, and there were snowflakes fluttering in the sky. The three-horseed knight rushed to the gate of Chang'an, and the knight had a long red feather on top of his head. The scarlet cloak was almost torn in a straight line, and the horse under his crotch was steaming, apparently having run a long distance.

"Get out of the way, this is Hongling's urgency to step on death and step on it in vain." The captain of the city gate shouted loudly to see the lively people, Chang'an City has not been in a hurry for several years. The people of Chang'an, who are accustomed to living a peaceful life, have even forgotten the figure of Hongling's urgent envoy.

The galloping war horses did not stop, and galloped straight across the drawbridge and rushed into the city gate.

An old man with gray hair curled his beard and said, "Hey, there is another war at the border pass." This time, I don't know if Yunhou will go on the expedition. ”

"Yunhou is a famous general of my Han Dynasty, and he will not go to who can defeat the barbarian Huns."

"I heard that Yunhou was poisoned by the spies of the Huns and became ill. I went to Jimo Hou to recuperate, I was afraid that I would not be able to send troops to fight. ”

"The ...... of the hated Huns"

The bell and drum rang three times, and the Xuan room was full of powerful ministers and nobles of the Han Dynasty. Liu Che sat on the throne in the middle, and the leaders on both sides were Zhuang Qingzhai and Cheng from time to time.

"Presumably some people have already heard that the Huns are calling. What should be done now, Zhongqing has an idea! ”

Liu Che was tortured enough by these disobedient ministers, and no one was obedient since Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai. He, the emperor, is not much different from a puppet, and he can't do anything without the will of the empress dowager. Today the Huns called, and he wanted to see it. What skills did these eloquent ministers have to defeat the Huns?

Silence, the ministers without exception chose silence. You let these guys with a very developed saliva system tell them that they can, and you really want them to go into battle and kill the enemy. Don't be funny! Wash and sleep!

Liu Che's face was blue with anger, usually there were five or six people, and he was waiting for ten sentences by himself. Today, the Huns are coming, and no one is angry when the country is employing people.

"Didn't anyone speak? On weekdays, one by one pays attention to the rule of inaction, and talks about the Tao, why is there no sound today. Zhuang Qingzhai, you say, you are the prime minister, tell me which general I want to send to retreat the enemy. ”

Zhuang Qingzhai, who is the most powerful on weekdays, looked calm, and walked forward with Chao Wat in his arms and bowed deeply to Liu Che.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is a civil official. It is the responsibility of the old minister to raise the supply of military supplies and recruit troops, and it is the duty of the captain to march and fight. His Majesty asked about the military strategy to defeat the Huns, and he could ask Lord Taiwei. ”

"You ......" Liu Che was so angry that his eyes were about to burst into flames, but there was nothing he could do about this slippery old guy.

"Good! If you ask the captain, then let's ask the captain. Captain Cheng, the prime minister said that you are in charge of the military. Tell me how we should retreat from the enemy and how we should relieve the siege of Mayi. ”

Cheng greeted the female friends of Zhuang Qingzhai's family in his heart from time to time. Only then did he step forward and salute Liu Che and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Li Guangnai, the general of Mayi, is a good general of the Han Dynasty." The minister estimated that there would be no problem in the short term, but the Huns bypassed the Great Wall and raged like a flood of beasts in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

They went all the way and robbed all the way, and all the military supplies were obtained by looting. Weichen's concern was not that they were besieging Mayi, but that the army was looting and wandering around. If that is the case, I am afraid that spring sowing in several counties north of Taiyuan will be affected. At that time, hundreds of thousands of hungry people will have no food to eat, and this is the big problem of the imperial court. (To be continued......)
