Chapter 562: Just and Selfless Aluka
Han Xin thought again and again and decided to accept Li Zuoche's suggestion.
Mainly because time is really tight.
Originally, he wanted to take a gamble and planned to seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack before the Huns could react. If he could directly defeat the Hun Royal Court, that would be the best. If he could not defeat them, he could also weaken them.
Some.
The premise is that the location of the Xiongnu Royal Court can be found.
War inherently involves risks, not only the risk of winning or losing, but also the risk of whether or not the goal can be achieved when executing the strategy.
If everything was foolproof, then there would be no need to fight. How great would it be to directly determine the world through sand table deduction?
Comparatively speaking, Li Zuoche's suggestions are more prudent and more heart-wrenching.
at the same time.
Aruka finally returned to the Huns' court with more than four hundred exhausted soldiers.
He shouldn't have come here, but there is no other way. He can't do it if he doesn't come.
His tribe has disappeared, and he has important 'information' in his hand. Where can he go if he doesn't come to the royal court?
When he found the royal court, Aluka breathed a sigh of relief.
The location of the Royal Court is different from what I said, but the deviation is not big.
This is a normal phenomenon on the grassland, as long as the direction is correct.
"Da Chanyu, prince..." Aruka followed the etiquette of the Huns and saluted the two of them neatly.
"Aluka, where are your people? Where is Muren?" Modun Shanyu asked with a bad expression.
He didn't know the general situation yet, but he knew that Aluka had come back with more than 400 people. Even if he thought about it with his toes, he could imagine that something unexpected had happened.
"Da Shanyu, we were defeated... Muren... Muren surrendered to the enemy..." Aluka said with an unwilling expression on his face.
The reason why Aluka dared to come back was because the Huns' rules had changed over the years.
In the past, defeat was not terrible, but it would be terrible if only more than 400 people were left in an army of 5,000.
When the Xiongnu dealt with this kind of problem, they usually killed the leader and dispersed the rest to other tribes. There is no need for your tribe to exist anymore.
But because the Han army has become stronger in recent years, it has been difficult for the Huns to win in battle.
Even a draw is difficult.
Therefore, the previous rules can no longer be used. Otherwise, who would dare to lead troops to fight?
In that case, what they are fighting is not a war, but an action to make their tribe disappear.
But defeat will also lead to punishment. The only change is that you no longer know how to kill people. After the defeat, your tribe's strength will be greatly reduced, and being annexed by other tribes will be unstoppable.
"Muren surrendered to the enemy?" When Maodun Shanyu heard this sentence, veins suddenly popped up on his forehead, and his face was filled with anger.
"Father!" Luo Danjizhu shouted hurriedly.
Only then did Modun Shanyu suppress his anger, but he was still very angry in his heart.
"Tell me what happened first!" Luo Tan Ji Zhou asked calmly.
"Great Chanyu, prince, we originally followed the Great Chanyu's order. Everything went smoothly at the beginning. We met the tribe of Prince Bayar of the Yuezhi. The Han people trusted him very much. This tribe
The army is completely under his control, equipped with Han instructors and a full set of Han army equipment."
"When we found them, they were escorting about five to six thousand of our people, and then they divided four thousand troops to stop us."
"We really tried our best. We lost hundreds of people on the other side in one encounter, but we ourselves also lost more than half. There was no way to fight this battle. So we decided to retreat temporarily, break away from the battle first, and then stay away from the battle.
Hang in the back and find a suitable opportunity to sneak attack them."
"Unexpectedly, they were chasing after us, because we had already charged for a certain distance before, and the physical strength of the war horses could not keep up, so we were quickly caught up with them."
"After several battles, we were finally outnumbered and had to dismount and surrender. We planned to find an opportunity to join forces with those who were captured to launch an attack."
"Later, Muren and we discovered that we knew the officers of this unit. When we were trading with them in Yunzhong, we met and talked with that man at the city gate."
"Muren and I thought about it and decided to use this opportunity to tell the Han people with false intelligence, first to deceive their trust, and then use the intelligence to mobilize their focus of battle, thereby relaxing the supervision of the prisoners, so that we can act according to the opportunity.
"
"Then I told the other party that the main force of the Huns is six hundred miles to the west. The main force will come over when the troops in front of us are almost done harassing them."
"The Han people were very happy when they stopped and gave me some of their cakes. Unexpectedly, when I came back, I told Muren that the Han people did not fully trust them. They had sent scouts to the west to investigate. If the intelligence was found to be false,
Then the two of us will most likely be executed."
"At the beginning, Muren didn't say anything, but in the next two days, we found that the Han people did not relax their supervision of the prisoners while conducting investigations."
"At this time, Muren was a little anxious, and I could feel that some people didn't want to escape from there."
"It was just some feelings at the time, but later, my feelings came true."
"Muren surrendered. He found the Han people and directly told them the true location of the royal court. At the same time, he told them that my information was false."
"The Han people did not completely believe it, but sent two groups of scouts to investigate separately."
"As the investigation took longer and longer, and the time for the news to come back became shorter and shorter, I didn't dare to delay it any longer, so I gathered everyone and prepared to take the opportunity to escape."
"I finally found a chance a few nights ago, and my escape plan went smoothly. But who knew that as soon as a few hundred people came out, someone would rebel and directly report our plan. In the end, about five or six people escaped.
Hundreds of people, some were lost later, and only so many people were brought back!"
Aluka explained everything in detail and explained every aspect in detail.
It's reasonable and well-founded. Although some details of Muren's rebellion were not stated explicitly, what was revealed was enough.
Muren didn't want to take the blame, so the Han people might have promised him benefits.
Everything may be false, but Muren's surrender to the enemy is true.
According to Luotang Jizhou's character, he would not believe his own words directly. He would definitely ask other people later, and then he would discover that his words actually beautified Muren.
In fact, what Muren did was even more outrageous than what he said, and more than one or two people saw that scene at that time.
