Chapter 736: The North Wind Blows
The north wind has been blowing from the far north, and the back is cold and cold???. Even if he was sitting in Wang Yu, Shan Yu still didn't feel the slightest warmth. It has been more than a month since he came out of Wolf Juxu, and the journey is less than halfway. What worries Shan the most is that food and livestock are declining too quickly, and many people are freezing to death and falling ill. Along the way, every moment someone fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
The kings are also in no mood to be entertained, those who die are their subordinates, and if they return in vain this time, they will lose the most. A few people have been privately discussing whether to go back and come back when the spring is warm. After being glared at by King Han, several people lowered their heads and no one spoke. The conditions given to them by Yi Zhixi were too tempting, and they promised that they would distribute Shan Yu's troops to everyone after conquering Shan Yu's royal court in the future, which made the kings betray Shan Yu.
The kings' minds were very clear, so Shan Yu didn't ask too much about things, he just needed to ensure that his subordinates didn't have problems, and the more traitors died, the happier Shan Yu was.
The power of the Lotus Peng King is the worst, and this time he brought the least number of soldiers, and it is because of this that he needs to contribute the most suitable livestock. For this expedition, the Lotus Peng King almost exhausted everything in the clan and pressed the treasure on Yi Zhixie. However, what made him unhappy was that Changshengtian did not favor him, but tortured him the most. Among the dead soldiers, the subordinates of the Lotus Peng King accounted for 20%, which was almost one-fifth of the Lotus King's soldiers and horses.
"Why are all my people dead?" When the kings sat down together again, the lotus was furious.
Lang Evil King sneered: "Then who knows? We people walk the same road and eat the same food, who can blame your people for not being able to bear the death? ”
King Guiliu also smiled and said: "That's it, this matter is really strange, carefully calculate that the most of the subordinates of the Lotus Peng King died, either freezing to death or starving to death, or being taken away by wolves, strange, really strange!" ”
King Lianpeng was furious: "My men and horses are in charge of guarding the livestock in the rear team, and they are naturally the first to bear the brunt of the attack by wolves. Where is the conscience? ”
The evil king of Lang said: "Who made you have the fewest soldiers and horses, and the weakest of the kings, what is the use of guarding the livestock?" ”
Many people followed the www.biquge.info of the Fun Pavilion, and the eyes of the Lotus Peng King were round, and they were about to go crazy when they saw it??. Han Wang slapped the table: "Quiet! ”
The crowd stopped talking and laughing, and Lotus Peng sat back in her seat indignantly. King Han is considered to be the recognized leader among the kings, the main reason is that he has the largest territory, the most soldiers and horses in his hands, and he was originally the closest to follow Yu. In this expedition, although King Han was not the one who led the most soldiers and horses, he was the strongest one, even more than Shan Yu's number of soldiers and horses.
King Han glanced around and took a deep breath: "King Lianpeng doesn't have to care, you have the greatest credit this time, and when this matter is successful, we will never compete with you, although your men have died the most, but the livestock still needs to be taken care of, this place is still far from Mayi, and the remaining livestock is not enough for the army to go to Mayi, so from today onwards, you all need to send people out to find rations and hand them over to the King of Lianpeng, if you don't pay it, you will be a public enemy!" ”
King Langya frowned: "King Han, this king thinks that this matter should be sued by Shan Yu, this time the army was initiated by him, and the food problem naturally needs him to solve it, although there are many tribes around, they are not under the jurisdiction of our kings, in case of conflict, I am afraid it will ......"
King Guiliu sneered: "It's all this time, if Shan Yu can't see the situation clearly, it's okay if Shan Yu doesn't do it!" If you want Shan Yu to find food for us, does the Lang Evil King think it's possible? ”
The Lotus Peng King finally quieted down, and sat in his seat drinking wine with a gloating expression. The king of Han was the chief, and the king of Han said that he would let the kings go in search of food, but he did not let him go. Once there is a conflict with the local tribe in the process of finding food, it naturally has nothing to do with him??. Although his subordinates suffered the most, in the face of the coming scene, King Lotus could imagine the mood of the other kings.
King Han said: "I will explain this matter to Shan Yu, presumably Shan Yu will order the surrounding tribes to donate, but you sit down and prepare, if it is still not enough, we have to do it ourselves, the tribes near the Duck River should be under the command of King Zuoxian, right?" ”
In times of irritability, the kings lived easily. When the kings were upset, they were easy to live by nature. On behalf of the kings, King Han had already declared to Shan Yu that if there was not enough food, the army would not be able to reach Mayi, and hoped that Shan Yu could send people to the surrounding tribes to send cattle and sheep. Shan Yu just mumbled and answered, but did not say whether he wanted it or not.
King Han was very angry and wanted to step forward and grab Shan Yu's collar and question him, but he didn't have the guts. This is Shan Yu's big tent, and outside the account is Shan Yu's guards. Although they are said to be the masters of the army, but this is the chassis of Shan Yu, but if they are not respectful at all, at least they will die here.
After sending away Han Wang and the others, Shan Yu lay on his cushion and smiled, sang and danced again, and poured the wine again. He likes the wine of the Han people more and more, a word is strong, and the whole body will be extra warm when he drinks it, and he can quickly enter the realm of self-forgetfulness, and he finds it interesting to see anything. The two maids have been embraced by Shan Yu, originally such a woman Shan Yu couldn't look down on her, but after drinking, she felt good.
The north wind howled outside the tent and swept between the tents, whining like weeping. Shan Yu lit more than a dozen braziers in his big tent, and even if he took off his clothes, he wouldn't feel cold.
Shan Yu didn't care about the food matter, and the news sent from Wolf Juxu Mountain said that Yi Zhixi's army had not arrived, which made Shan Yu very happy. As long as the royal court is still in his hands, he is still the Shan Yu of the Huns. As for whether this attack on Ma Yi can be successful, Shan Yu has long been out of his mind.
King Han was very angry, and as soon as he returned to his tent, he smashed the jade pendant that Shan Yu had just given him. King Lotus asked, "What now?" Is it true that we should do it ourselves? King Zuo Xian didn't come with him this time, if he knew that we were attacking his tribe, even if King Zuo Gu Li did Shan Yu in the future, he wouldn't let us go! It must be that King Zuogu Li and King Zuoxian are also very close. ”
The Lang Evil King sighed: "What if you don't do this? Even if the supply of soldiers is reduced, it is impossible to rely on this little food to get to Mayi. ”
"Otherwise, let's ......" King Guiliu had just said half of his words when he was interrupted by King Han.
"Nonsense, we are all outsiders, we don't need to be the king of Zuogu Li, if we do that kind of thing, we won't be able to gain a foothold on the grassland!" King Han was still a little sensible, thought for a while and said, "It's really not good, I can only send someone back." ”
"You're crazy!" The Lang Evil King shouted: "Thousands of miles away, how long does it take to come back and forth?" Even if you can send cattle and sheep, it is a drop in the bucket, not to mention that the king of Tuntou is still in his territory, if he knows that we need food, with the character of this old guy, he will never let it go, don't forget that he has always been in favor of war with the Han people! ”
King Lotus Peng glanced at everyone: "I have a solution!" But ......"
"If you have something to say, don't worry too much about anything else at this time!"
King Lianpeng smiled slightly: "Since the grain and grass are insufficient, it is natural to reduce the supply of soldiers, since Shan Yu is unwilling to mobilize from the surrounding departments, then start with Shan Yu's subordinates, do you say that one pound of meat per person per day is appropriate or half a pound?" ”
King Guiliu rolled his eyes, and then smiled: "King Lotus Peng's idea is good!" This king is enough for half a catty, and the share in the big tent alone must also be reduced, since the ice soldiers have been reduced by fifty percent, Shan Yu should be the first soldier! ”
The Lang Evil King nodded: "This is a solution!" ”
Everyone looked at King Han, and King Han frowned: "Although this matter can force Shan Yu, it will not help anything else, if Shan Yu still does not agree, even if it is reduced by fifty percent, the army will still not be able to go to Mayi, and we will not be able to complete our plan!" ”
Lang Evil King said: "Little Mayi is a broken city, why use tens of thousands of troops to attack, it is better to divide the troops, only send a small number of soldiers and horses to Mayi, and the rest of the people will stay here and fight with Shan Yu." ”
"That's a solution!" The King of Guiliu nodded and said, "Then who is the right person to send?" ”
The evil king of Lang thought for a while: "The vanguard of the Ashi department is suitable, since he is the person of the king of Zuogu Li, he should naturally take on more things, we people come out in the cold and are not all for the king of Zuoguli, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses under the Ashi department, which is enough to capture Mayi!" ”
Ashi Nabe let out a big sneeze. It was so cold in his tent that even if there was a layer on the outside, there was no way to stop the north wind. The cold wind with snowflakes poured in through the cracks in the tent and blew out through the big tent, rolling up the thick curtain of the tent. Ashi Nabu wanted to move two big stones to press down the curtain of the tent, but he was a pioneer general, and the people who came in and out kept reporting things, and when the curtain was lowered, those people couldn't come in.
It's been three days since I stopped at the Duck River, and the wind and snow still haven't stopped, and if I go on like this, let alone hurry, even this kind of weather can drag the army down. Even if people can stand it, the war horses can't stand it, the weather is too cold, and the war horses under his command are generally unable to ride, and the rest are all frostbitten. Several times I thought about the army asking for food, grass and things to keep out the cold, but there was no reply, and the Ashi Nabu began to wonder if the kings had also betrayed the king of Zuoguli?
King Han personally came to the big tent of Ashi Nabu, which was much colder than his tent, and hurriedly put on the cloak he had just taken off. glanced at Ashi Nabu: "Along the way, only the general's soldiers and horses are gratifying, and the general is really worthy of being the general under King Zuogu Li." ”
Ashi Nabu looked at King Han: "The king has something to say, please speak." ”
King Han took a deep breath: "The wind and snow do not stop, and Yan zhòng has affected the march of the army, so Shan Yu decided to lead the troops by the general, hoping that the general can take Ma Yi in one go!" ”
