Chapter 253: Raid on Yinshan (5)

The next morning, before it was full of light, the Wu Anjun had all gotten up and was ready to go.

Originally, when the Wu'an army set out from Yanmen County, it was lightly armed, and the baggage it carried was not much, mainly the rations and tents of the army, and when they came here, most of the rations were eaten, and there were only about five or six days' rations left, but according to the requirements of the plateau, all the tents were left in this valley, and each soldier only brought three days' rations and two days of drinking water, completely emptying all the burdens, and almost completely traveling lightly. Moreover, not a single soldier remained, and all of them set off on the road, and when they broke through the camp of the Huns and turned back, they took what was left behind from here.

Because there are still more than 120 miles away from the main camp of the Huns on the shore of Wuliangsu, this distance is not close, and it is necessary to pass through other Xiongnu camps, and can not rest on the way, so it is necessary to rush to the coast of Wuliangsu in one breath as soon as possible, so as to reduce the burden of marching as much as possible.

And Zhai Jin and the others also left the bodies of the dead Mo family disciples in the valley, and the others set off with the army of the Wu'an Army.

After a night's rest, although they could not fully recover from fatigue, they were at least seven or eight parts, so they were all full of energy, and one by one they rushed out of the valley and headed west. And nearly 100,000 war horses, walking together is naturally earth-shattering, the sound of horses is like muffled thunder, and the whole team is more than 20 miles long before and after, and the width has reached nearly ten miles.

Soon after leaving the valley, the sun gradually rose, the sky was completely bright, and the Xiongnu herdsmen who had rested all night also got up one after another, driving horses, cattle and sheep, going out to graze, and at the same time cutting grass and cutting firewood, because the midwinter was coming, and a large number of materials for the winter should be stored. Of course, there are also some herders who have prepared winter supplies and are still asleep in their tents.

However, many herdsmen were awakened by a thunderous sound while they were still asleep, and the horses, cows, sheep and other livestock in the pen also made uneasy noises. The early herdsmen were horrified to find that countless horses were rolling in from the east, some on empty backs, and some of them were heavily armed knights with helmets and armor on their backs.

All the herdsmen who saw it were terrified, because only the armies from the Chinese countries of the Central Plains would be dressed like this, but didn't the Chinese countries live south of the Great Wall? It's thousands of miles away, but how did they get here?

However, the Xiongnu herdsmen all know that the Chinese countries and the Xiongnu have always been enemies of each other, in the past, the Xiongnu went south, they would bring back a large amount of wealth, materials and population, and their army came to the grassland, of course, it would not be to visit the friendly wèn, it must be to retaliate against the Xiongnu, and this time so many troops came at once, it will never be a small fight, it seems that they are ready to do a big job. Therefore, many Xiongnu herdsmen hurriedly took their families and mouths, got on horses and fled, and abandoned their tents, livestock, and property. There were also some Xiongnu herdsmen who saw the army approaching and had no time to escape, so they had to stay in the camp and leave it to their fate.

But the army, as if they had not seen them, rode past the herdsmen's tents, without even looking at them, and no one took the cattle or sheep. This also puzzled many herdsmen, who didn't rob money, livestock, and people, so why did this army come. If it weren't for the fact that the dust had not yet subsided, and there were still a lot of traces of horses' hooves on the ground, I might have thought it was a big dream.

Of course, there were a few shrewd Huns who saw the direction of this army's advance clearly, and it suddenly dawned on them, isn't this the direction to go to Wuliangsuhai? Now the camp of the head beard of the Right Virtuous King is stationed on the shore of the Wuliangsu Sea, is it difficult that this army is actually going towards the Right Virtuous King?

―――――――― dividing line――――――――― dividing line―――――――― at noon, by the sea of Wuliangsu, the main camp of the Hun camp.

In the big tent of the head beard of the Xiongnu Youxian King, a grand banquet is being held, and the guest of the banquet is Zhao Xin.

It turned out that Zhao Xin, He Bin and He Biao brothers secretly sneaked into Daijun and got in touch with Zhao Ping, and at this time, Ma Yu, who went to Qin State to find a way, also came back.

After sighing for a while, everyone also told their own stories about their situation in the past few months, after Ma Yu came to Qin State, although he found a few former classmates, but now Ma Yu's family is ruined, powerless and powerless, of course, no one cares about him, let alone lobbying Qin State to attack Zhao State. As a result, Ma Yu was in the Qin State for more than a month, but he achieved nothing, so he had to return to Daijun in disgrace.

And Zhao Ping's team that stayed in Daijun has expanded, and the Bijing Plateau suppressed Haoqiang, which also caused a considerable part of the people's dissatisfaction, and now it has gathered more than 200 people and more than 100 war horses, but the number of people has increased, and the consumption has greatly increased, and in order not to attract the attention of the Daijun government, Zhao Ping did not dare to blatantly rob the villages, in fact, now the villages have been reorganized according to Wushi, relying on more than 200 people in this district, there is no way to beat a village, so it is becoming more and more difficult to make up for it. It won't be long before the mountain is empty.

However, after listening to Zhao Xin's adventure, both of them were also very happy, because they finally found a little hope. The three of them got together and discussed, and indeed divided the labor again, Zhao Xin organized a caravan, and then went to the Xiongnu region to complete the test task assigned to him by the teacher, Ma Yu still stayed in Daijun, tried to settle down, and managed to obtain the identity of official residence, and inquired about various news of Daijun, Ma Yu was also a local hero in the past, so it was not difficult to get a formal identity to live in Daijun. And Zhao Ping pulled the team to the northern area of Dai County, found a mountain as a foothold, officially became a bandit, and recruited troops to expand his strength, and handed over the looted things to Zhao Xin, in exchange for money and materials.

Now among the three of them, Zhao Xin is the leader, Ma Yu and Zhao Ping have no objections, so the three of them immediately took action, Zhao Xin and Ma Yu each brought twenty people, and the rest were left to Zhao Ping, and began to complete their respective tasks separately.

Zhao Xin immediately bought a batch of goods, went out of Yanmen Pass, came to Saiwai, and found a Hun merchant he knew, begged him to guide the way, and came to the Hun camp in Yinshan, asking to see the head of the right Xian Wang.

At this time, dozens of the remnants of Karun had fled back to the Xiongnu camp in Yinshan, and reported the news of the annihilation of Karun's entire army to Tousu, and Tousu was also shocked after hearing it, because this time he led more than 100,000 Huns to the south were actually his direct subordinates, and in fact they were his personal subjects, and although there were only more than 10,000 people in the Karun Department, all of them were young and middle-aged men, and they had been wiped out by the whole army. However, the strength that Tousu has in his own hands, so for Tousu, this is a heavy loss, and it is very unfavorable for his position in the Xiongnu tribe in the future.

So in a fit of rage, Tousu beheaded all the soldiers who had escaped, but when he killed all of them, Tousu regretted it, because he was in a hurry to kill them before he could ask how the battle was lost, and now there is no one to ask. At this time, Zhao Xin begged to see Tousu under the introduction of the Xiongnu merchants, and explained that he knew the defeat of the Xiongnu this time.

When Tousu heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly gave an order to meet Zhao Xin.

After the two met, Tousu impatiently asked Zhao Xin about the defeat of the Hun army this time. And Zhao Xin also learned the lesson of the last time he lobbied Karun, and did not dare to deliberately belittle the strength of the plateau, and at the same time told the head in detail about the defeat of the Hun army this time.

Of course, Zhao Xin did not say that he instigated Karun to attack Yanmen County, but only said that he was an ordinary merchant in Daijun, because he knew the situation of Daijun, so when he was trading with the Huns, he was left by Karun to play the role of adviser. On the way to the army, he saw through the plateau's plan to lure the enemy, and repeatedly advised Karun not to fall into the trap of the plateau, but Karun was arrogant and insisted on not listening, and as a result, he crashed headlong into the encirclement set by the plateau, and the whole army was annihilated.

After listening to Zhao Xin's speech, Tou Xu did not doubt it, because he knew Karune's character, he had always been arrogant and arrogant, and there was no one in his eyes, so Zhao Xin's statement was indeed credible.

So the head had to ask Zhao Xin about the current situation of Daijun, the people of the plateau, the defense of Yanmen Pass, and so on. And Zhao Xin didn't dare to hide anything, basically told the truth about what he knew, and told him to the head.

And after listening to Zhao Xin's words, the head beard only had a sudden sense of enlightenment, not only re-estimating the defensive ability of Yanmen Pass, but also not daring to despise the plateau, because according to Zhao Xin, the way of using troops on the plateau has won the true inheritance of Li Mu, and now the garrison of Daijun is Li Mu's old department, Li Mu's powerful head beard is deeply understood, so this plateau must not be underestimated.

At this time, Tousu couldn't help but be embarrassed, because he suffered such a heavy loss, Tousu must not be able to be inactive, and he must retaliate harshly against the enemy, otherwise Tousu will be discredited in the Xiongnu tribe and become the object of ridicule of other Xiongnu nobles.
