"Retreat?"

When Meng Tian learned of the retreat of the Huns, he was patrolling the defense on the bank of the Yellow River.

After hearing the reports from his subordinates, Meng Tian felt a little incredible. The land of Henan was an important animal husbandry for the Huns, which could raise a large number of cattle, sheep, and war horses. Moreover, compared with the wind and cold north of the Great Wall, this place has a warm climate and is suitable for herders to live in. It is the territory of many nobles of the Huns.

If the Huns say they give up on such a territory, did they give up?

"You really saw it. Is it certain that it was not the Huns' trick to lure the enemy?" Meng Tian said in confusion.

"It's true, general." The man was a cavalry general, and his two hundred cavalry scouts were responsible for alerting and investigating the enemy situation. There were many such cavalry generals, all of whom were confidant generals under Meng Tian for many years, and were sent to the north bank of the Yellow River to detect the enemy situation. "The incident happened suddenly, and the general thought it was the trick of the Huns. But in the next few days, the general went north and found that several Hu troops they arranged along the river had withdrawn. The Hu people's camp abandoned a large number of wooden fences and killed all the old and weak who had been plundered."

"It's important, I want to lead the cavalry to explore the north in person."

Meng Tian said. At this moment, he was not caring about the cold weather. If the Huns really withdrew their troops, then the situation might have changed. His arrangements along the Yellow River will be invalidated.

Meng Tian led five Meng family cavalry troops, about a thousand people, crossed the Yellow River and chased northward to the edge of the foothills of Yangshan. Along the way, he only saw several Xiongnu tribes that had not yet retreated, and the main Huns army did not even see a shadow.

At this moment, Meng Tian finally believed that the Huns had really withdrew.

Beihu not only gave up the land of Henan, but also even the highlands north of the Yellow River.

However, Meng Tian was not happy, but was even more sad.

He captured the city and led his army to capture such a large area of ​​territory. For a general, he was a great military merit and supreme honor. But Meng Tian was not happy at all. He understood that the strength of the Huns was not measured by land, but by population.

This is the most hated thing about the Hu people. The people of China live on land and live on the banks of rivers. It is impossible to live like the Huns, chasing water and grass in a year. This is also the reason why the Great Wall was built. The customs of the two sides are different, and the military combat methods are also different. Therefore, the generals of Qin, Zhao and Yan, who were stationed on the border in the past, used to deal with the Hu people to lure the enemy into depth, and to eliminate their living power.

If he killed tens of thousands of Hu people in one battle, like the war god Li Mu, then the border can maintain peace for at least twenty years.

In the Battle of Henan, the Huns suffered heavy losses, but Meng Tian knew that this was not painful enough for the Hu people. The Huns still had a large number of troops in the south of the desert, and the wolf clan had the power to fight. Only by destroying all these troops and being afraid of them, can the borders of the empire be safe for a long time.

So Meng Tian was waiting, waiting for the Huns to gather together and get rid of them together.

But at this moment, the Hu people retreated and took the initiative to retreat to the north of the Seitoui. This is not good news! Meng Tian could not chase after him with more than 100,000 infantrymen. First, the speed could not be kept up, and second, the food supply could not be maintained!

What happened within the Huns!

Meng Tian's eyes were chilling, but she could hear a loud singing sound coming from around her, with a high tune.

"Who?"

………

"Meng Tian stationed in Jiuyuan, and Qin's prince was demoted to Yunzhong. The two places were hundreds of miles apart. Once something happened in the Yunzhong, Meng Tian's cavalry would take as long as three days to rush to Yunzhong to reinforce, and the main forces from various places in Yanmen Dai County would take four or five days to arrive. With this gap, we can completely encircle Yunzhong City and destroy the troops coming to reinforce. Once Qin is captured and killed by us, the old tribes of the six countries within the empire will inevitably wait for an opportunity to support the eldest son Fusu as the prince. The empire is shocked, and then it will be our Great Huns' chance."

Yunzhongcheng, Tiance Mansion.

When Ying Ziyi slowly described Maodun's plan in the Hun camp and in front of Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping and others, his heart was unchanged.

Damn! He actually came to me? Xiaobian, what a young man with ideas!

Just like there are traitors in this world, ah, no, this era should be called Qin traitors. And there are also Hun traitors inside the Huns. Uh... It doesn't seem very nice, Hun traitors? Wolf traitors are just this kind of thing anyway.

What Maodun didn't know was that the dark sharks in the Jiuyou Hall under Ying Ziyi had already penetrated into the Xiongnu. Many of the senior leaders of the Hu people were bribed by him.

So when Maodun just walked out of the big tent, the news came immediately.

"What do you think?" Ying Ziyi asked the people in Tiance Mansion.

"It's indeed a good plan." Zhang Liang smiled on his face and said slowly: "If the people of the Huns were really willing to spend all their money to conquer Yunzhongcheng at all costs."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled. It would be a headache if the Huns were really willing to make wedding dresses for the people of the six countries and fought desperately to attack them. However, this was impossible. There were many factions within the Huns and Maodun could not control them. Compared with the narrow and mountainous Yunzhong County, it was obvious that the vast area of ​​the Hetao area was more attractive to the Huns' tribes.

"It's true." Ying Ziyi nodded and said, "So in the end, the leaders of the three surnames of the Xiongnu decided to retire and recuperate and gather troops from all the troops in the northern part of the border to join. In addition, at the beginning of the next spring, a partial army of 50,000 troops will be sent to attack Yunzhong. They wanted to use this king as bait to lure Meng Tian to send troops to aid, and then use the main force to turn around and attack Jiuyuan County and regain the land of Henan."

"This is a very risky strategy for both the enemy and the enemy." Chen Ping frowned and said, "The key is to look at Meng Tian's attitude towards the Prince. But whether Meng Tian finally decides to come to rescue, it is a troublesome thing for the Prince. What makes me even more concerned is that Maodun seems to know the situation within the empire. Maybe someone in the empire has secretly communicated with the Huns."

Ying Ziyi nodded and said, "Let Peng Yue retreat, the main force of the Xiongnu retreated to the northern part of the Seychelles. It is very dangerous to stay."

"What about Meng Tian?" Chen Ping asked.

"Li Shiqi has passed long ago." Ying Ziyi said with a smile.

....

"Who are you?" Meng Tian rode on the horse and looked at the singing madman. Meng Tian waved his hand and asked a group of knights to let him approach and questioned.

"Gaoyang drunken lord Li Shiqi, see General Meng Tian."

The madman bent over, closed his hands and said.

The person in front of him looked red, he smelled of alcohol all over, and there was a big gourd around his waist. Of course, Meng Tian was used to seeing such wanderers between the wine shops in Xianyang Street.

But when such a slut appears here, the place where the two armies fight, it is particularly strange.

"I am a Gaoyang man, why did he appear here? What's the purpose?" He was in the army of tigers and wolves, without any fear, which made Meng Tian have to look up at the person in front of him.

"I was a consultant in the Crown Prince's Tiance Mansion. I was kind to you by Your Highness, but I didn't make any achievements and I had to be ashamed. So this time, I came here specially to get a share of the extraordinary achievements of the general who was expelling the Huns in the north."

Meng Tianle was already at the mercy of the Huns and said, "Now the main force of the Huns has retreated north. What do you want to do with this extraordinary achievement?"

"The Huns are greedy and now they take the initiative to retreat, which must be for a blow to the future. Therefore, His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to bring a word."

"Meng Tian respectfully listened to the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince." Meng Tian got off the horse, leaned over and knelt on one knee, and said respectfully. All the soldiers and soldiers all knelt down.

"If something happens in the cloud, the general can do it cheaply."

"What does the Crown Prince mean?"

"The land of Henan is of great importance. His Highness the Crown Prince said that the general must not be alone, but forget the foundation of the empire forever."

Meng Tian looked stern, his hands were closed tightly, and he said, "My memory, Meng Tian, ​​wishes to respect the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Around Meng Tian, ​​a group of close generals also showed excitement.

"The general's heart is pure. I have a word below, but I don't know if the general wants to hear it."

Meng Tian stood up and said, "Please give me advice."

"The Huns retreated to the north, and Taoshan was already all in our territory of Qin. Taoshan was stretched out, and there was a gap in the mountains, shaped like a gate. If the Huns attacked Jiuyuan County in a large scale in the future, they would pass by. At that time, the general could lure them into the depths and send large troops to lie on both sides and cut off their retreat."

"Thank you for your advice, sir." Meng Tian said with his hand. "I hope you will stay in the army and ask for advice day and night."

Li Shiqi knew that Meng Tian kept himself as a close minister of the Qin prince by his side, which was an extremely important signal. In other words, the internal movements of the Great Wall Legion had been opened to the Qin prince.

"I am willing to serve the general in one's own way."

...

"Those tribes with the three surnames of the Huns are really arrogant."

The wolf woman rode on the horse and followed Maodun and said. As a descendant of the Moon Wolf, she also followed Maodun south this time. Although the nobles were respectful to them, they were extremely contemptuous in secret. So, after the main force of the Huns retreated to the north of the Fortress, they found a reason and sent Maodun back.

"Can't you say that? You know, this trip to the south was quite rewarding." Mao Dun said with a smile on his face.

Although Maodun's plan to attack Yunzhong with all his might was not adopted by the Hun tribe leaders, he at least persuaded them to leave. In Maodun's view, this was also a big victory.

The wolf girl glanced at Maodun, who was very excited, and didn't know what the Shanyu was thinking. She was obviously bombarded back, but she even said she had gained something.

"Although this trip south did not control the tribes of the three surnames of the Huns as the old shaman said. However, I had seen many warriors within the Great Huns. Unlike those nobles, they were brave and energetic. Now my Shanyu is full of confidence! With their help, I, Maodun, will definitely become the greatest Shanyu in the Huns in the future."

The wolf girl remembered that Maodun went south this time but did nothing serious. Except for showing his face in this noble meeting and persuaded them to retreat north, the rest of the time was to mingle with the soldiers from many tribes, drinking and chatting, riding horses and hunting, and in the words of the leaders of the tribes of the three surnames, Shanyu had a very happy time this time.

Of course, among these people, there are many sons of nobles, but most of them are sons of low-ranking concubines.

"Is this a harvest?" The wolf girl had been by Mao Dun for a long time and muttered in her heart, those people are not as good as you!

"Do you know?" Maodun looked at the wolf girl, "Qin State is eyeing me, the Great Huns, want to revitalize, and their bloodline and identity are all things that can be abandoned. The brave warriors are the most precious things for the Huns and the basis for the revival of the Huns."

"I understand!" The wolf girl nodded helplessly and said, "You can see the royal court after climbing over this mountain."

However, when they crossed the mountains, they saw not the beautiful scenery of the camps and herds of cattle and sheep, but a ruin and a burnt land.

"Old Shaman!" Maodun said in panic. What's going on?

"Shanyu!"? Just as Maodun was running down the mountain with his men, he was intercepted halfway.

Maodun calmed down and saw that this man was an acquaintance, a servant who was waiting beside the old shaman!

"Where is the old shaman? How is he?" Maodun flew off the horse, pulled the man's arm, and asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, the master is fine. I have been waiting here these days to take the Shanyu to the master's land."

“Lead the way forward.”

When Maodun saw the old shaman, the other party was sitting on a big rock with a bad look on his face.

The first thing he said when he saw Maodun was: "Didn't listen to me, and wait until the troops of the three Xiongnus were defeated by the Qin army before accepting their troops?"

"Yes." Maodun lowered his head and said, "Although those nobles were degenerate, the soldiers below were all excellent warriors of my Huns. As the Shanyu, I cannot see them being killed by the Qin army and remain indifferent."

Maodun's face was sincere, which made the old shaman helpless. He put down the crutch that he wanted to beat Maodun: "I missed this time, and the three Xiongnus have recovered, and you will be in danger."

"Don't worry! They won't attack me yet. They plan to go south again after this winter and seize territory."

"What's going on?" the old shaman asked.

Maodun immediately said the resolution of the Huns leaders. Who knew that after hearing this, the old shaman laughed: "These idiots actually want to provoke that evil ghost, they really don't know how to live or die. Maodun, it seems that your opportunity to control the power of the Huns is coming again."

"This..." Mao Dun was stunned. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this plan!

"Do you know who caused the Shanyu Ting's current appearance?"

"By the way, I don't know what happened to the Shanyu Ting? Could it be that the Donghu soldiers attacked?"

"It's not Donghu, it's the Prince of Qin." The old shaman said with fear and lingering fear: "If I hadn't happened to be in the royal court at that time, you wouldn't have seen me today."

"What!"

"The terror of that evil ghost is not something you can understand now. Remember, if you do not include all the vast land north of the Great Wall into our Great Huns, you cannot be enemies." (To be continued.)
