In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 729 Yanshan Snow

Yandi.

The cold snow drifted across the world, covering the earth with plain clothes.

However, the flames of war tore the plain clothes apart.

The well-dressed soldiers walked across the ground with short crossbows on their backs.

Walking out of the Yanshan Mountains and coming to the plains, one of the most elite armies in the empire, Wang's armor-piercing soldiers, was already in front of him.

In the camp of the army, Wang Li, his deputy Zhao Bu and the four generals of "Jackal, Tiger and Leopard" gathered together to discuss the upcoming battle.

After the Beihe army's attack, the Yan army was defeated again and again, and completely withdrew from Daidi.

The [-] army led by Wang Li has already entered Dukang, the richest area in Yan.This also means that when the Yan Kingdom faces the empire, it has no danger to defend at all.

Like the Zhangshui Great Wall in Zhao State, the Yishui Great Wall in Yan State was destroyed.

However, unlike the imperial army in Handan, the army led by Wang Li was completely offensive.

But just when Wang Li was about to attack on a large scale, he ushered in an envoy from Xingyang.

The news of Hu Hai's assassination and Shuang's proclaimed king came, and the situation of Wang Li, who was the Marquis of Wucheng of the empire, was very delicate.

It was only because of the fierce fighting that all these disputes were temporarily delayed.

But now facing this emissary, Wang Li feels a little different.

"Mr. Zhang Liang!"

Everyone knows that Mr. Zhang Liang, who was born as a Korean minister, is Zhao Shuang's most important adviser.

Rumors spread all over the place, and they all said that Zhao Shuang was going to kill the old ministers of the empire.

Wang Li is undoubtedly the most important one.

But Zhang Liang's arrival at this time broke the fear in Xiang Wang's heart.But after knowing Zhang Liang's purpose of coming, Wang Li became more and more confused.

"Sir, do you mean to ask me to temporarily suspend the army?"

Zhang Liang knew the confusion in Wang's heart.Although there were only [-] tiger troops, the imperial army's attack was exceptionally smooth, from Jiuyuan all the way to Guangyang County.

There are only a few big cities in front of us, so it is a good time to go all out.

"The general's strength is only [-], but the Yan army has [-]. Although they are defeated again and again, they still control a large number of soldiers and taxes in Yandi. If they advance again, the risk is too great."

"But there are 10,000 Taiyuan troops and [-]+ Beihe troops next to our army, which is not without advantages."

"The Taiyuan army can't go north to defend Zhao's soldiers and take over the defense of Hengshan and other counties. As for the Beihe army, it's even more immobile now."

Seeing Zhang Liang's appearance, Wang Li reacted.

"Could it be that?"

"The Xiongnu and Donghu have reached a peace agreement, and the pressure on the border defense will be enormous."

"Why at this time?"

"According to reports, it was Touman's concubine who made the connection, so that Donghu King and Xiongnu Shanyu reached a peace agreement!"

"This woman actually has such strength?"

"She used to be caught in a snare!"

"hateful!"

Wang Li held his breath in his heart and cursed angrily.The hatred for the net is beyond words.

"What about Ke Yandi?"

Zhang Liang smiled softly.

"Make it a mess!"

……

Hun court.

The Xiongnu lived by water and grass, but the Wangting area, as the center, occupied the best grassland and built a city.

The empire built a continuous Great Wall in the long northern border. Just a few hundred miles away from the border of the Great Wall, where the imperial army could not reach, Touman also learned from the people of Huaxia and built a city belonging to the Huns.

But this city is not as magnificent as the buildings of the Chinese people, and it only has walls and palaces.

"Zhao Shuang became king?"

Touman sits on his throne. As the Shanyu of the Huns, Touman actually doesn't understand the complex bureaucratic systems of the countries in the Huaxia region.

But Touman is still aware of the pain after losing the royal court of Qilian Mountain back then.

Then, there is the line between the fertile Henan land and the Yinshan Mountains.

The Xiongnu retreated to the land of Monan, feeling the wind and cold on the fortress.Touman's hatred for Zhao Shuang is also getting bigger and bigger.

"Not long ago, Zhao Shuang ascended the throne in Xingyang and established a court."

Touman was very angry and puzzled by the words of the Huns' envoy.

"Zhao Shuang is really shameless. He took over the Yueshi, took away the queen, and then took over the Western Regions, and got half of the empire. He is now the king?"

Touman's words were a bit puzzled to others.But Hu Ji knew that Touman regarded Zhao Shuang as an enemy, but the identity of this enemy was not high, so it would not be shameful to speak out.

Hu Ji sat beside Touman, stroked his hair, and persuaded him.

"Shan Yu doesn't have to be angry, Zhao Shuang is nothing more than caring about his reputation, and he has been reluctant to become king for a long time, and it has been delayed until now!"

There are Touman's sons and ministers loyal to him in the palace.Hu Ji's eyes turned around in the palace, and finally landed on Touman's eldest son, Maodun.

Mao Dun was the bravest and most resourceful among Touman's sons, he was the prince of the Huns, but Touman didn't like him, and he liked the youngest son born with Touman's family even more.

Touman tried to kill the prince several times, but in the end he was saved by Mao Dun.

Because of this, Touman believed that this son was protected by the gods, and he did not dare to harm him easily. Instead, he gave him [-] horses to guard the border of the Huns.

However, as the sons of the Toumanyan family grew up, the power disputes within the Huns were accelerating.

Modu is also facing a great crisis.

Noticing Hu Ji's gaze, Morton glanced at the beautiful woman, and quickly lowered his head again.

Orchid has a softness that is not possessed by all grassland women, which is really rare on the grassland.

"My lord, at this time Zhao Shuang is in a stalemate with the rebels in the Kanto region. This is a good opportunity for the Huns to go south and seize the Henan region."

It has always been Touman's wish to regain Yinshan, Helanshan and Henan.

But Touman was not stupid, he muttered.

"The empire has 10,000+ Beihe troops in Jiuyuan and Yanmen, and [-] Anxi town troops in Beidi..."

In fact, although the Northern River Army launched a campaign to attack Yan, the main force was only Wang Li's 10,000 Tiger Army, and the remaining [-]+ troops were still deployed on the Great Wall to guard against the Huns in the north.

Touman originally thought that with the civil strife in the empire, the imperial army in the border area would go south.But after Zhao Shuang occupied Guanzhong, instead of letting them go south, he reinforced a series of border facilities.

Today, there are millions of people and nearly 30 troops in several counties in the northern border of the empire.It was not easy for the Xiongnu to go south and recapture the land of Henan.

Hu Ji smiled slightly and looked at Mao Dun.

"The crown prince of Shan Yu has always been brave. With him as the commander-in-chief, he must be able to conquer Henan."

Touman heard Hu Ji's words, thought about it, and finally decided.

"Modun, you will lead the army and attack the imperial army first. If you fail, you will come to see me first."

Mao Dun looked at Hu Ji, his eyes were about to spit fire, but in the end, he had no choice but to surrender.

……

Zhuo County.

General Zang Tu of the King of Yan was stationed in the south of Yan State, facing the [-] army of the empire.

Wang Li's Tiger Army plus the Taiyuan Army are now in the southern part of the Yan Kingdom, eyeing them like a tiger.

However, for Zang Tu, the most terrifying thing is not the enemy in front of him, but the people behind him.

Han Guang was originally a small official in Shanggu. He joined Zhang Chu's army when Zhang Chu was powerful and the military officials attacked Zhao, and later became the king of Yan.

But now the king of Yan has become more and more afraid of himself, a general who holds a heavy army, and has reprimanded him several times.

Now in Jicheng, there are also rumors that Zang Tu will be harmed by Han Guang at some point.

Because of this, Zang Tu didn't dare to return to Jicheng easily, so he could only take the army out.

In the dark night, Zang Tu sat in front of the desk, rubbing his head, feeling a little headache.

"Why is the general like this?"

Zang Tu was startled by this strange voice, and quickly drew out the saber beside him.

In front of him, stood a mysterious man.

"Are you from the Yin Yang family?"

Mr. Xiang smiled and said.

"The general has good eyesight."

"Back when the empire conquered Yan, the power of the Yin-Yang family spread all over Yanzhao, but as Zhang Chu grew stronger, the power of the Yin-Yang family seemed to disappear overnight. Now it seems that it is not so simple."

Zang Tu was surrounded by a large army, this man could get here so easily, it cannot be simply described by skill, there must be someone from the Yin Yang family around him.

"The Yinyang family has already pledged their allegiance to Lord Hanyang, so they naturally know that Zhang Chujun will not let him go. If he stays in the open, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?"

"Then why are you here now?"

"The Yin Yang family wants to make a fortune for the general and avoid a disaster."

Zang Tu cared more about the latter than the richness that Jun Xiang said.

"Han Guang has secretly mobilized troops and wants to seize the general's military power."

"How did you know?"

Xiang Jun smiled slightly and lowered his head.

"Naturally, it's because there are people from my Yin Yang family around Han Guang."

Xiang Jun's words had a great shock to Zang Tu.This shock comes from the fear of the unknown, and also from the fear of the powerful forces behind it.

"Then what is wealth?"

"Secretary position!"

Mr. Xiang's words were concise and to the point, without much embellishment, but Zang Tu understood that it was not simple behind it.

"What does Zhao Shuang want me to do?"

"Get rid of Han Guang, and return to the King."

Zang Tu thought for a long time, looked at Mr. Xiang, and finally asked a question that shouldn't be asked.

"If I don't agree, have you prepared another person to replace me and Han Guang?"

Mr. Xiang just smiled indifferently and said.

"The world is so big, there are more than a thousand people who want to be kings and lords? In this world, princes are worthless. If you sweep them down with a broom, you don't know how many people have been swept away. Those so-called kings are now the bones of hell. But the general It should be clear, the weight of this position?"

Zang Tu woke up for a moment, cupped his hands and said.

"The subject is willing to obey the orders of the king."

……

The night was cold, and Hu Ji, who had just experienced some cloud and rain, stood up from the bed, looked at Touman who was sleeping beside her, and walked out of the hall warmed by the charcoal fire with her coat on.

With the wind and cold, inside and outside the house are completely different concepts.

Orchid was wearing thick clothes, but still couldn't block the chill outside.She wandered outside the palace, looking at the starry sky alone.

Today, Luo Wang has completely declined, and Luo Wang's once famous sword has become a tool for Zhao Shuang to reward his subordinates.And she can only stay here forever, unable to go back.

A sense of loneliness arose in Hu Ji's heart, perhaps from the lingering of her distant hometown, or from the hatred for the Qin people engraved in her soul since she was a child.

She walks under the stars, conscious of the passing of time.Although Hu Ji is still beautiful, she has no children. Although she is beautiful now, she doesn't know how long this beauty will last.

Under the starry sky, a black shadow suddenly struck, forcing Hu Ji into a corner.

But when Hu Ji saw clearly who was holding her hostage, a smile appeared on her face.

"Why is the prince like this?"

"Why did you hurt me?"

Mao Dun took the dagger and placed it on Hu Ji's fair and beautiful neck, as if the other party's answer did not satisfy him, and he would take her life.

"How can a concubine have the guts?"

Hu Ji smiled coquettishly, but Mao Dun was unmoved.

"The area around Jiuyuan is the place where the empire mainly operates. Back then, Meng Tian built a fairly strong fortress north of Dahe and south of Yinshan Mountain. Now Zhao Shuang has reinforced this area. The Huns are not good at attacking cities, and I only have [-] cavalry under my command. , isn’t going there the same as sending you to your death?”

Mao Dun is a military prodigy, so how can he not know the situation between the enemy and ourselves, and the risks involved.

"With a large army in hand, do we have to attack the enemy?"

Hu Ji's words made Mo Dun put down the dagger in his hand, stand up straight, and no longer maintain an oppressive posture with Hu Ji.

"what do you mean?"

"The Shanyu is already old, too old to draw a war bow, unable to withstand the weather, and only wants peace. At this time, the Huns need a younger and braver new Shanyu, and I am the same."

Hu Ji touched Maodun's muscular muscles, teased them a bit, then let go quickly, and moved closer to the man in front of her.

"The crown prince should be very clear. After Zhao Shuang has dealt with the princes in the Kanto region, the Huns must be next. Only by seizing power this morning can he lead the Huns forward."

"Then what good will it do you?"

"The seat of the Yan family."

Hu Ji spoke out her conditions softly, and touched Mao Dun's face.

"For Chunwei's descendants, they should agree to this condition."

"My Great Xiongnu is a descendant of King Xia, and was once the master of the world. I have the same origin as those people in the south. But now, they regard us as barbarians and call themselves Huaxia."

Mo Dun responded to Hu Ji, but in the end he also restrained himself.

"You are not simple, do you only want the position of the Yan clan?"

Hu Ji shook her head and looked at Mao Dun.

"Perhaps you are the only one who can bring me back to my homeland in my lifetime."

"I certainly will."

In the dark night, bonfires intertwined, silent as if there was sound.

……

Xingyang.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhao Shuang stood on the city gate, and after several attacks by the armies of the princes, the city was not as good as it used to be.

"What's going on inside the army of the princes now?"

"After the arrival of King Qi, he competed with Chu State for the position of the leader of the princes and alliance. However, Fan Zeng mediated among them, and the princes' army is still stable for the time being. Mr. Chen Ping's measures have already achieved results, and presumably soon there will be some results. Effectiveness."

"Since this is the case, let's add more fire! Tell Tianze that he can move."

"I obey my orders!"

In the dark night, the moonlight slanted.After the sound fell, there was no movement above the city gate, only the man in the royal uniform was left quietly watching the battlefield in front of him.
