Chapter 68: The Fall of Zhongxingyue

It is becoming more and more difficult to go to the Han border to loot, and the Han army is getting stronger and stronger. If possible, Yi Zhixian is not at all like going to the Han realm to loot. A wolf can rob a herd of sheep, but let a wolf rob a herd of porcupines covered in thorns, that's okay.

But in the current situation, Yi Zhixian has to go. The white-haired wind blew all over the grasslands, and countless people and livestock froze to death. If you don't go to the Han border and loot some food, more people will starve to death. The Huns are already very weak, if they continue to be weak. Those tribes that usually submit will sneak like foxes about their cattle and sheep.

"Da Shan Yu, go to the Han Realm. There's no way, there's too much white plague. Only by going to the Han realm to loot can he feed the rest of his people. "Zhongxingyue is already very old, and in the past ten years, this eunuch who has planned countless plans for the Huns has become an old man in his last years.

The life on the grassland tempered by wind and frost has greatly damaged the health of Zhongxingyue. Now he has a lung disease, and every midnight he coughs heavily. A loud cough can be heard far away, and listening to the heart-rending coughing sound seems to be coughing the lungs out.

The phlegm is as green as jade, and sometimes it coughs badly. He vomited profusely, even though he couldn't eat anything. But the mouth still kept vomiting white foam and green thick phlegm.

The witch doctor jumped and jumped beside him, trying to save Zhongxingyue's health. Da Shan Yu was very concerned about this Han man and ordered to cure him by all means.

"Yes! The white-haired wind blew, and many cattle and sheep froze to death. Now you can still live by eating frozen cattle and sheep, but what should I do when spring begins? Frozen cattle and sheep will stink, and people are not camels that can be eaten for a long time. ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......!" Zhong Xingyue coughed violently again, and he first took a deep breath. Then a loud cough erupted from his chest, and his face flushed after coughing for a long time.

"Big single Yu, the old slave is not done. But. If you really want to attack Handi. It is necessary to hold on, since there are frozen cattle and sheep to eat in winter. Then let the shepherds eat openly, who said that people are not camels, cattle and sheep can stick to the fat after eating abundant water and grass, and people are the same.

If you eat too much, you will accumulate fat in your body if you are inactive. The fat has accumulated a lot. People also fight hunger. In the spring of the next year, the Han people will relax their defenses and attack the Han land. The minions had already sent people to reconnoitre, and the defense of Shuofang in the Northland counties was the weakest. Da Dan Yu can use the thunder strike to break the enemy in front of Shuo Fang. Although, the Han army has made some progress over the years. But the size and quality of the cavalry are still inferior to our army, and the Han is like a mussel, as long as a gap is opened in the Great Wall. The big order can rush in and wantonly take out the fatty meat to eat.

Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......! Before he finished speaking, Zhong Xingyue coughed violently again.

"Don't talk about it. This list is known to everyone. You rest first, and I'll come to see you another day. Yi Zhi slanted at the terminally ill Zhongxingyue, a little unbearable. After all, this person once made great contributions when he ascended to the throne. After decades of friendship, the two have long become close friends. Nothing to talk about, take care of each other.

Zhongxingyue's withered hand suddenly grabbed Yi Zhi's sleeve, although he still coughed and his face was flushed. But the gaze in his eyes was very firm, "cough, cough, cough......!" Big order in. Don't go, minions ......! The minion still has something to say. ”

After a heart-rending cough. Zhong Xingyue seemed to have coughed up all the strength of his body. He took Yi Zhi's oblique hand and said, "The slave is not a slave." There are only a few things to entrust to the big order, please make the big order to Fuzhun!

This side is my strategy for the future of the Great Huns! The Han people are getting stronger and stronger, and there are many of them. In recent years, I have obtained a grain called corn, and I heard that the yield per mu can be increased several times. Without food worries, the population will grow explosively.

When they fill their own living space, they will come and occupy us. Maybe thirty years later. Maybe fifty years later. The Han people will take the initiative to encroach on the territory of the Xiongnu, because there are too many Han people. Their land is no longer able to feed them.

Da Dan Yu has to plan early, and the only way is the Western Regions. As long as the Western Regions are conquered, the trade routes between the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty will be cut off. It can make the Han people not get horses with good blood. The existing horses of the Han Chinese. It will degrade after a few generations, so don't worry!

The second was to take in Han Chinese slaves, give them cattle and sheep to become shepherds. In this way, the Great Huns had a lot of available people. Once the Han people betrayed their ancestors, the other Han Chinese spontaneously excluded them. In this way they will be more faithful because they have no choice.

Make good use of these Han people, they may be our capital to defeat the Han people. Our population is so small that it is like a desert and an oasis compared to the Han Dynasty. Today, we can still rely on the barrier of the desert steppe to hold on to the Han people. Once the population of the Han people exceeds the capacity of the land, we can only migrate. Maybe a hundred years, maybe two hundred years. In the long run, migration will eventually happen. Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......!

This last thing is the minion's own private affairs, and the minions have spent the first half of their lives doing things for the Han. In the second half of his life, he gave advice to the Great Huns, and he was a person who was left behind his sentence. Coupled with the charge of a traitor, there is no place for me in Han Land.

The slave wants to ask Da Shan Yu to burn my body to ashes after the old slave dies. When the geese flew south in the autumn of the following year, I wrapped my ashes in cloth and tied them to the geese. In this way, my ashes will be sprinkled all over the country. Even Liu Che can't help me. Hehehe! Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......! Perhaps it was because Zhongxingyue laughed too proudly, and another heart-rending cough sounded.

"Rest well, the witch doctor will heal you. Don't think about dying, dying, you'll live. I also want you to continue to give me advice, the Great Huns need you. Seeing that Zhongxingyue had already begun to explain the aftermath, Yi Zhixian couldn't help but be moved. Holding back tears and comforting Zhongxingyue. After instructing the witch doctor to continue the treatment, he couldn't bear to look at Xingyue's painful appearance anymore, and returned to his big tent with the guards.

"Da Shan Yu, what did Mr. Zhongxing Yue say?" Zhao Xin followed Yi Zhixian like a husky, and he heard that Zhongxingyue's illness might pass on to others. So, the timid Zhao Xin chose to wait for Da Danyu outside the tent. The wind on the prairie took away a trace of his body temperature, after his feet were numb from freezing. Da Shan Yu finally came out, and I don't know what I said to Da Shan Yu, I babbled for so long a day, and I was freezing! This old immortal.

Zhongxingyue opposed the current use of soldiers, and he said that the soldiers should eat more frozen beef and mutton. After sticking more fat. When spring is over, I will go to the Han realm to loot. In this way, you may be able to catch the Han people off guard. He said that it was better to use troops in Shuofang, what do you see? ”

Zhao Xin couldn't help but secretly admire that the old guy was sick and virtuous. It's really amazing to be so thoughtful. But the old man's time is coming to an end, and it will be my time from now on.

"Lord Zhongxingyue is right. Shuofang City is also surrounded by grasslands. We have suffered a white plague, and so have they. Their troops were stationed in Shuofang City, and they needed to be transported from the rear to bring food supplies. So, when the white-haired wind began to blow. Most of the Han army had already withdrawn from Shuofang and went to the Han territory to get food.

At the beginning of spring, it was the old soldiers who defended the city who were tired. When the recruits have not arrived, we can take this opportunity to open a hole in the Great Wall as long as we take Shuofang in one fell swoop. As long as we enter the Great Wall, our Great Hun Iron Cavalry is afraid of who will come. Zhao Xin is quite confident. Yi Zhixian nodded in satisfaction. His explanation is more detailed than Zhongxingyue's, and it is obvious that Zhao Xin has worked hard.

"Hmmm! In that case, then do what Mr. Zhongxing Yue said. In addition, the high priests of the various tribes were gathered. I think that Mr. Xingyue's time is short, and when he leaves, give him a good sacrifice, which can be regarded as a reward for him for planning for my Great Huns for many years. ”

"No! Da Dan Yu is really benevolent, Zhao Xin will do it. Zhao Xin lifted the curtain and went out, and when he left, he glanced inside the tent. It looked like it had a hook in it.

Guo'er's heart was shocked, and she didn't know why. Yi Zhixian did not promise it to Amu. Or any one of them. Now her identity is still a maid in the military tent.

may be because she has never given birth to a child, but she is over thirty years old, and her figure is still so slender. The bulging chest is high and straight, and the slender waist can be grasped. When it reaches the buttocks, it is extremely expanded, and it has already shown the woman's figure to the extreme. Coupled with a picturesque appearance, many girls in their twenties and eight-year-olds are difficult to compare.

Zhao Xin almost swallowed the fruit into his stomach at this glance. He was already haunted by this woman. I heard that this woman often runs to Ah Mu's tent in private, and often hears such news. Zhao Xin hated it so much, and there were a few times when he wanted to tie people up, and the overlord made a bow. didn't expect that Amu's subordinates always sabotaged their own good deeds out of nowhere.

Hum! Sooner or later, I asked Da Shan Yu to come over. Enough of the. Just let your subordinates continue to, hum, Lao Tzu won't be able to kill you when the time comes.

Zhao Xin swallowed a mouthful of foam greedily and walked out of Yi Zhixi's big tent.

In the evening, the high priests who had come from all the tribes had not yet arrived. Zhongxingyue is no longer good, from spitting green phlegm. When coughing up blood, a mouthful of bright red blood spurted out every time I coughed.

A cloth towel was already soaked with blood, and when it was put into the basin to be washed, the water in the basin turned red. The painful Zhong Xingyue gasped sharply, he was enduring the most cruel torture of the disease. As mouthfuls of blood spurted out, his consciousness blurred. Finally, after squirting a mouthful of blood. Zhong Xingyue lay on the ground and didn't move, only a trace of blood slowly slid down the corner of his mouth.

After a long time, the servants saw that his chest no longer rose and fell. A servant dared to reach under the wings of Zhongxingyue's nose. He didn't breathe, he had stopped breathing. This Huns, who has been a think tank for decades, a guy who specializes in making enemies of his own nation, finally shut his mouth.

Zhongxingyue died, and Yi Zhixian held a grand funeral for him. He found a lot of wood and incinerated Zhongxingyue's body. It is hoped that in the autumn of the next year, these ashes will be tied to the wild goose. Sprinkled all over the Han Dynasty.

After disposing of Zhongxingyue's aftermath, Yi Zhixian began to gather troops. Prepare to carry out a large-scale looting of the Han border at the beginning of spring in the coming year.

Liu Che held the documents of the border generals in his hands, and the expression on his face was ugly. The gray-haired Qiandu waist board was still straight behind Liu Che.

"Your Majesty, Hou Weiqing of Changping is ordered to meet you." A small chamberlain walked into the Chengming Hall to report.

"Xuan!" Liu Che is obviously in power, and his power is rising day by day. A Xuan character actually shouted the sound of gold and stone.

Wei Qing strode up to the Chengming Hall and saluted to Liu Che, who was high above.

"Excuse me! It is because of this document that you are here. There was another white plague in the territory of the Xiongnu, and it seems that the Huns should not stop this winter. Tell me, where would the Huns attack if they sent troops? ”

Liu Che had already come to the huge map, which had been asked for several times through Nangong. An enlarged version of the northern mountains and rivers given by the clouds. Liu Che ordered someone to copy a copy, and after marking the various cities, he hung it in this Chengming Palace.

"This ......! Please forgive the minister for not being able to give His Majesty an answer, we have two or three thousand miles of border with the Xiongnu. The Huns can use troops almost everywhere, and in recent years, we have implemented a strategy of advancing the Great Wall to the steppe. Although the loop has been reclaimed, many of the Great Walls have risen above the grasslands.

The Huns on the steppe suffered a white plague, and our soldiers guarding the Great Wall also suffered a disaster. In the desert steppe, there is simply no way to collect supplies on the spot. Most of the soldiers could only be withdrawn and returned to Han to get food.

However, the White Plague limited the mobility of the Huns. It is said that there is a white plague on the grassland, and the snow is deeper than a horse's leg in some places.

We can't attack, and it is estimated that the Huns will not be able to attack either. The Huns were also people, and the ministers did not believe that they would fight and not supply. "Wei Qing has been herding soldiers and horses all these years, and he has become a generation of military gods of the Han Dynasty. His status in the army was unmatched for a while, even Li Guang, who had been immersed in the Northern Army for many years. also had to follow his door to make a comeback.

"You mean to say that you don't have to worry about the Huns attacking in winter?" Liu Che said with some suspicion.

"Exactly, the Huns estimated that they would gather their army at this time. The exact location of the attack will not be known until the battle report from the front. Now all we have to do is wait, and we have prepared the ordnance, food, grass and horses. Wait for the Huns to attack, judge the direction of the main attack of the Huns, and attack them head-on. ”

"When do you estimate the Huns will attack this time?" Liu Che somewhat believed Wei Qing's analysis.

The minister estimated that the Huns would take advantage of the spring flowers. The road is good for attacking while on the go, so that they can make the most of their mobility. ”

"Then you say, if this time. I sent another cavalry into the hinterland of the Xiongnu to plunder. How effective do you say? ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" (To be continued......)
