Chapter 21 Shan Yu Wang Ting Left and Right Gu Li(1/2)

The scorching sun shone in from the skylight at the top of the tent, and there were faint flames in the surrounding basins.

The whole tent was warm, and there were two great men sitting side by side in the main tent, cheering and drinking, and they were in great interest.

The two were wearing gorgeous sweaters, beaded leather crowns, and long hair tied with loose hair. Unlike ordinary Huns, these two men were quite majestic in terms of their clothes and manners.

In front of the two, above the long table, there were exquisite wine utensils, copper pots, lacquer plates, silver pots and calves, and dried beef, sheep, fruit, cheese and pasta.

The two Kings of Guli of the Huns were from the Xiutu tribe and the Subu clan respectively, and had a high status.

"You two still have time to drink here?"

A fat man walked into the tent, looked at the two kings of Gu Li, and said anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Looking at the man coming, the Huns' King Zuo Guli still had a hint of drunkenness on his face.

"Crown Prince Qin has 20,000 riders in the clouds, why do you still have time to drink here?"

"Why is this urgent?" When King Zuo Guli heard this, he completely ignored it. He was originally the leader of the Xiu Tu tribe. After Maodun inherited the position of Shanyu, he promoted him to King Zuo Guli. He had more than 10,000 cavalry under his command, which was powerful.

"I admit that if the walls are high and the city is strong, we are not as good as the Qin people. But if it is a cavalry war, when did we Huns be afraid of it? Besides, the hundreds of miles north of Yunzhong are all the territory of King Youguli and King Xiu Tu, why are you anxious?"

After King Zuo Guli said that, he burst into laughter. The person in front of him was his gangster. Although he was promoted to King Xiu Tu by Maodun, King Zuo Guli still looked down on him and felt very contemptuous.

"But he is the Prince of Qin!" King Xiu Tu was slightly fat, and his face trembled when he was anxious. Among the martial Huns, such a state is easy to be despised.

"Okay! King Xu Tu. The whistle cavalry prosecutor reported that Prince Qin's cavalry was still three hundred miles away from here, and he would fly for a while even if he flew." King Youguli said, wanting to end the dispute and continue drinking.

Seeing that the two of them could not be told, Xiu Tu had no choice but to sigh and leave the tent.

"I really don't know how Shanyu liked him and actually asked him to be the King of Xiu Tu?"

After his gangster left, King Zuo Guli said calmly.

The banquet lasted for about an hour, and when it was over, the two kings of Guli were unable to walk.

"Master!"

With a hurried report, a Hun knight hurriedly walked in.

"What's the matter? I'm so panicked?" King Zuo Guli asked halfway down on his chair and Zuo Guli.

"Qin army... Qin army attacked the herds tent a hundred miles away from our rear, snatched a large number of our horses and food, and set fire to our sacrificial utensils."

"Youguli, you see, I'm really drunk and I'm hallucinating." Zuoguli waved his hand drunk, as if everything in front of me was a fantasy, and I wanted to wave it away.

"Hahahaha!" A smile came from the opposite side.

But after waiting for a long time, the knights in front of the two of them could not disperse for a long time.

After glaring for a moment, the wine on his face dissipated. King Zuo Guli stretched out his hand and asked, "What did you say just now, please say it again!"

The Hun knights kneeling below were helpless and said, "The Qin army attacked the herds tent a hundred miles away from our rear, snatched a large number of our horses and food, and set fire to our camp."

"This is impossible!" King Zuo Guli stood up, his whole body was filled with a striking blush. I don't know if it was because of the drunkenness or anger. "The Qin army was still three hundred miles away yesterday. Why did it appear behind us today?" "The villain doesn't know." The whistle cavalry said.

"King, two thousand Qin cavalry appeared fifty miles away from our west and broke through our whistle cavalry camp."

The guards outside the account reported.

At this time, King Youguli's wine also woke up. He shook his head, stood up, and stood side by side with King Zuoguli, and said, "It seems that the Qin army has dispersed its troops."

"The prince of Qin only has 20,000 cavalry, and he dares to disperse his troops on this vast grassland." King Zuo Guli asked angrily, "Tell me quickly, where are the Qin army that attacked our whistle cavalry camps now?"

“It’s retreating south.”

"Send the order, the eight thousand cavalry in this tent gathered immediately. I want the two thousand Qin cavalry to know the power of our Hu people!"

Zuo Guli and Wang Yongjian were no longer as good as before when they spoke, and had a strong fighting spirit all over.

King Youguli was beside him and said, "I don't know where the main force of Prince Qin is now? I will return to my account now and summon troops to help you."

"Thank you!"

...

"What, lost?"

In the Chanyu court, when Maodun met the envoy of King Zuo Guli, he was preparing for the wedding.

On the White Tiger Throne, Maodun looked at the envoy of King Zuo Guli who apologized under him with great interest, and smiled and said, "How did he lose?"

"That day, King Guli received the news that the Qin army attacked the saiying cavalry camp on the west side of the camp, and led the eight thousand cavalry from the headquarters to chase. When King Guli chased the Qin cavalry, it was already dark. King Guli wanted to annihilate the Qin cavalry, but after a fierce battle, a large number of Qin troops suddenly broke out from both sides of the mountain. King Guli was defeated and wanted to take the remaining troops to return to the account. But the Qin army was cunning and had already been ambushed on the side of King Guli's return. Under the raid, King Guli vowed to resist to the death and finally came out and had already met with King Youguli."

"How many people are left of King Zuo Guli now?" Mao Dun's eyes were cold and stared at the envoy and asked.

"Less than five thousand."

The messenger's face turned gray, lowered his head and said.

"Let his remaining troops meet with King Youguli, and you must repel the Qin army. Otherwise, he will not be able to see me?" Maodun said coldly, his face full of anger.

The messenger sweated and said, "Abide by the order of the Great Shanyu."

After the envoy left, the wolf girl Nuomin said, "The two Kings of Guli's total soldiers are only 20,000 now. Will they be the opponent of Prince Qin?"

At this moment, there were only the old shaman and Nomin in the tent. They smiled and said, "So what if I can't resist it? Why do you think I would seal the fertile grassland hundreds of miles south of the royal court to them?"

Nuomin paused and thought to himself that it was like this. These two men held many subordinates and were always proud. Sometimes they didn't even take the orders of Shanyu seriously. It turned out that Shanyu asked them to resist the Qin army?

"I, the Great Huns, just experienced a great defeat, and it was time to rest. There were only 300,000 troops around the royal court, and only 50,000 soldiers who controlled the strings. Donghu was staring at him again. At this time, we cannot act rashly." Maodun said, with a lot of helplessness in his words.

"I just worry that if King Youguli is defeated again, it will further encourage the Qin army's arrogance." Nuomin said worriedly.

"The Qin prince is only 20,000 people, and now he has been driving for hundreds of miles. He is alone and has not been in a long time. When fighting with King Youguli, no matter whether he wins or loses, it will be difficult for the Qin army to continue." Maodun said, suddenly remembering something and asked, "King Xiu Tu, where is he now?"

"After King Xiu Tu broke into King Zuo Guli's tent that day, his persuasion was ineffective, so he took his two thousand men and horses toward the direction of Shanyu Court."

Nuomin replied, not understanding why Shanyu suddenly mentioned that the unstunning appearance of King Xiu Tu came.

"Unlike the reckless man like Zuo Guli, he is one of the few smart people!" Maodun said, with a hint of admiration flashing across his face.

...

To the southwest of the tent of King Youguli, there is a continuous slope with uneven concave and concave cavalry here, which is difficult for the cavalry to fight.

At this moment, Ying Ziyi led three thousand ghost prison cavalry and were staying in this area.

"Your Highness, the troops of King Youguli and King Zuoguli merged, and the Hu army from some small tribes nearby also gathered with them. It is estimated that the number of people is close to 30,000 at this moment."

Peng Yue urged the cavalry to come and said.

"Oh?" Ying Ziyi smiled, "It seems that they are going to fight me in a decisive battle?"

"Your Highness, should we take the initiative?" It can be seen that after several victories over the past few days, Peng Yue had considerable confidence in the cavalry on his side.

"Are you fighting hard?" Ying Ziyi thought for a while and asked, "Is there no movement in the Xiongnu royal court yet?"

"General Guan Ying is detective in the north, and there has not been any news that Maodun takes action yet." Peng Yue replied.

"It's really cautious!"

Ying Ziyi smiled, "The territory south of his royal court has become like this. He, the Shanyu, has not made any noise at all. Don't you find it strange?"

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"This is killing people with a knife." Ying Ziyi said calmly: "From the information from the Shanyu royal court, King Zuoguli had already had a greater power at the time of Touman. After the three Huns took power, their tribe's strength became stronger. After the Battle of Henan, the Huns retreated north. Although Maodun integrated the interior of the Huns, several tribe leaders with greater power outside were still hidden dangers. Maodun gave them a letter of kingship one by one, giving them a large amount of fertile land, but most of the territory was on the edge of the empire, so I'm afraid it was for this moment."

Peng Yue was shocked, and he never expected Maodun to be such a difficult character.

"Did the Xiongnu Khan already know that His Highness was coming north?" Peng Yue said in surprise.

"Don't forget, there have been people in the empire who have always been hooking up with the Hu people."

Ying Ziyi's mount raised his head, sniffed, and then became quiet again.

This horse is not a sweaty and bloody horse from the Western Regions, but a handsome horse that is rare on the northern grasslands. It has a big head and short neck, thick limbs, and is not very brave, but it can break a wolf with one hooves. Compared with a sweaty and bloody horse, although it is not as fast as it is, it is better than the endurance.

"So, Maodun wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Then we..." Peng Yue didn't continue, but his meaning was already very clear.

Why do we help Maodun solve his internal troubles?

Ying Ziyi smiled and said, "We went north this time to train a brigade that can fight in the northern grasslands and Gobi. Since Maodun sent these people over, why should we refuse?"

"I will understand."

...

The account of King Youguli.

"The two kings, the slope hundreds of miles southwest of the big tent, have traces of Qin army appearing."

"Are they actually there?"

Over the past few days, King Youguli has gathered troops and sent out whistle cavalry to search for traces of the Qin army, and finally achieved results today.

King Youguli stood up and swept the wine vessel on the long table in front of him to the ground, as if expressing his anger accumulated over the past few days.

"Get the map."

Although the map of the Huns is not as detailed as the one depicted by the Empire, the minimum mountains and rivers can be seen.

The map was spread out on the long table, including King Zuo Guli, and the generals in the tent surrounded him.

The slopes mentioned by the whistle cavalry on the map were not covered, which made King Youguli a little embarrassed. He pointed to the place where his king's tent was, and pointed to the southwest direction, and said, "If the Qin army comes, it must pass through this valley thirty miles away. Our army gathers in front of this mountain and waits for the Qin army."
