Straight man of steel

Chapter 469
"Then Hunxie King, tell us what we should do?"

Yi Zhixie also calmed down, he understood that he was unreasonable, both times it was because of him that he caused such a big loss.

You must get angry, otherwise others will question him even more.

"Da Shanyu, I think it's better not to attack Yuyang City yet.

Look at how much military rations are left in Yuyang City. Wei Qing and the others have been hiding in the city for four or five months. "

"Anyway, within five months, no grain transport vehicles entered Yuyang City."

Yi Zhixie was able to confirm this point.

"That's fine. Isn't there a new army of [-] Han reinforcements in Hunu City? As long as these [-] reinforcements are not allowed to support the Han army in Yuyang City, their rations will be exhausted sooner or later."

Yi Zhi frowned.

Doesn't he understand this, but can he control all the Huns and prevent them from grazing?

He didn't have time. Halfway through the summer, he would definitely not be able to suppress the Huns in Decadent City.

At that time, the cattle, sheep and horses would have eaten up all the grass roots around the city.

"Okay, let's wait and see if there are any other opportunities."

King Hunxie almost couldn't hold back to speak out the poisonous plan in his heart.

This feeling of riding a wall is really uncomfortable.

This battle happened to be witnessed by Zhao Puonu, who was sent by Zhang Yuan to check the situation around Yuyang City.

Zhao Puonu saw the darkness all the time, and saw the Han army guarding the capital from a distance, so he understood that the situation in Yuyang City was not very bad.

At least it was much, much better than what he and Zhang Yuan thought.

As soon as it got dark, he took the ten cavalry around him and rushed to Yangdu Wei's mansion.

He just returned to Yaoyang Duwei's mansion when he was just over.

Zhang Yuan had already fallen asleep at this time, Zhao Puonu thought about it and woke Zhang Yuan up.

"General Hussars, General Zhao has returned from Yuyang City and said he has something important to tell you."

Zhang Yuan's guard called out from outside.

It took several calls to wake Zhang Yuan up.

During the day, the smell in Captain Yaoyang's city made Zhang Yuan uncomfortable and his brain felt dizzy, which was why he slept so hard.

"Let General Zhao come in!"

Zhang Yuan just put on a cloak and sat on the bed.

"General Hussars."

"I thought you wouldn't be able to come back until tomorrow. Have you found out the situation in Yuyang City?"

"No, as soon as the last general arrived in Yuyang City today, he saw the Huns attacking Yuyang City.

That's why there was no chance to investigate the siege of Yuyang City by the Xiongnu army. "

"The Huns will attack the city?"

"The final general thinks that the general took the initiative to seduce the Huns to attack Yuyang City.

I saw from a distance that the gate of Yuyang City was not closed. "

"How's the battle going?"

"The end is not clear, but in the end the Xiongnu withdrew, and then the Han army in Yuyang City built a Jingguan outside the north gate of Yuyang City.

There must have been [-] to [-] heads of the Huns, and the general felt that this was the general who was actively mocking the Huns, forcing them to lose their minds and attack Yuyang City. "

"something wrong!"

"What's the problem?"

Zhang Yuan thought of going with Wei Qing and Gongsun He.

"If the Huns knew how to attack the city, they would have attacked the city long ago!
How many people were there when Yuyang City was in Han Anguo's hands?
There were less than [-] defenders, and none of the military officials let the Huns attack the city.

At that time, the military ministers had 20 troops, seven times the number of Han troops, and they could surround Yuyang City.

How many Huns are there outside Yuyang City? "

"More than 50 million."

"You will take another detour to Fox Slave City tomorrow, the number of people is not right."

"The end will go overnight."

"Let's rest for the night first."

"Hehe, General Hussars don't have to worry about the junior general, the latter can sleep right away."

"It's nice to be young."

I rode a horse for a few days, fell off the horse and fell into a coma for several days, but I was able to sleep from the horse.

What the hell is that people are more popular than people.

When Zhao Puonu said so, Zhang Yuan did not stop him.

Clarify these doubts earlier, and have a comprehensive view of the battle situation earlier.

The first thing Zhang Yuan suspected was the Huns attacking the city. Unless the military officials changed their temperament, how could he attack the big Han's city by force.

Secondly, Zhao Ponu said that the Xiongnu had 50 troops, but Zhang Yuan estimated that there should be 60.

But before he counted 70, where did the [-] troops go?
Siege dead?

The 60 estimated by Zhang Yuan still counts those killed in battle.

The reason why he wanted Zhao Ponu to go to Hunu City again was to see if there was any Hun army outside Hunu City.

If the Huns knew that there were [-] troops in Hunu City, but they only sent [-] troops to besiege the city, that would be really abnormal.

With a lot of questions in his heart, Zhang Yuan still fell asleep.

When they came together the next day, Zhang Yuan went to stay on the city wall of Yangdu Wei's Mansion.

In the whole city, the air above the city wall and outside the city is the best.

Occasionally, cavalrymen of the Wuhuan tribe and the cavalry of the Xiongnu tribe can be seen running on the ground.

"General Hussars, they now regard Yuyang County as their own place."

Zhang Yuan looked back and found that it was Gongsun Ao who came over.

"Does Heqihou also dislike it?"

"As a big Han person, I must not be used to it.

Now I can't wait to go out of the city and kill all these people. "

"Then just go out and bring 100 people.

Anyway, the Huns know that there are 1000 troops in Yangduwei's mansion. As long as we don't send out more than [-] people, we won't attract the attention of the Huns. "

Gongsun Ao didn't expect Zhang Yuan to agree so simply.

"Then the general really led the troops out of the city?"

"Don't rob the Huns of food and grass, I don't want them to send hundreds of thousands of troops to surround us first."

"It will be clear in the end."

In this way, Zhang Yuan sent Gongsun Ao out, and let him bring a hundred cavalry.

The idea is simple, more than [-] people can't all stay in the city, they have to take the initiative to find something to do.

After Gongsun Ao led his troops out of the city, he immediately eliminated all the Wuhuan and Huns wandering around Yaoyangduwei's mansion.

These are all military exploits delivered to the door.

Zhang Yuan waited until the night fell on the second day when Zhao Puonu finally came back.

"General Hussars, the situation around Hunu City and Yuyang City have all been ascertained."

"How many people are there in the Huns?"

"No less than 80 troops, Hu Slave City has 30 troops, and Yuyang City has more than 50 troops.

There are no obvious defensive loopholes, all I can think of is four words that can't get through. "

"That means there were 90 troops at the beginning.

King Hunxie must have 20, and Wuhuan Da Shanyu also has 20, so the Xiongnu have assembled an army of 50.

Can there be any young men in their clan? "

Zhang Yuan suddenly had a plan to surprise Tuidang City and kill all the Huns in Tuidang City, then the hundreds of thousands of Huns would become extinct.

"It should be, but can we keep all the more than 80 troops here?"

Zhao Ponu felt that Liu Che and Zhang Yuan's plans were somewhat unlikely to be realized.

"It's still possible, but we have to wait until Xihou comes back. If he doesn't come back, we'll have to go to Yuyang City in half a month."

"Ok."

Knowing that too many things are not good for him, Zhao Puonu is very measured.

He didn't want to know what Xin Zhao did.

From now on, Yuyang City will be very quiet.

Yi Zhixie stopped sending people under the city wall to mock the Han army and Wei Qing, because it was meaningless.

Wei Qing is also happy to have a leisurely life.

There was also a wave of conscription in the city.

In the past, he would not have done this kind of thing, but now that the Huns are besieging the city, and the number of soldiers was only recruited to restore the number to 20, even if Liu Che knew about it in the future, he would not say anything.

The training of the Han army in the city never stopped. Occasionally at night, some soldiers were sent down the city wall to sneak out of the city to take back all the crossbow arrows that had been shot before.

Within two miles of the city wall of Yuyang City is almost a restricted area. The three-bow bed crossbow can shoot accurately at this distance. Even if the Huns are attacking the city, they dare not send people to collect these arrows.

Wei Qing's actions made the Huns wake up the next morning and see that all the arrows and crossbows outside the city had disappeared, and they felt itchy in their hearts.

Seven days have passed slowly.

On this day, something happened in the big tent of the Huns, and the cattle and sheep that had been rushed from Tuidang City finally arrived.

Wei Qing and Gongsun He were looking at the city wall and wanted to send an army to rob.

The consumption of more than 80 troops is equivalent to a million cattle and sheep.

If all of these are obtained from Dahan, they will be put into use directly next year, and the grain output of Dahan in the following year can be increased by [-] to [-]%.

If Dahan's grain output can be increased by [-]% on the current basis, Wei Qing can spend his whole life in Yuyang City with the Huns without dragging down Dahan's finances.

But Zhang Yuan had already done the calculations.

Because of the war, the number of big men did not increase or decrease, and remained at a certain number.

In the past few years, when there was time to rest, Dahan's grain production could increase by [-]% every year. Now hundreds of thousands of troops are all in the frontier. In addition to Yuyang County, the soldiers of other border counties have to guard. In the past two years Food production did not increase.

When there is no war, soldiers are the main labor force in farming.

Now the people in Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, Shanggu County and Dai County have all stopped farming. Wei Qing knows that in autumn, this year's grain production will definitely be lower than last year's.

That's why he was very moved when he saw the Huns' cattle and sheep.

In Dahan, there will still be people who eat these livestock, and if there is a cow in the family, it must be offered as an ancestor.

"The Huns seem to have more than enough cattle and sheep to eat."

Gongsun He smiled wryly beside Wei Qing.

"It seems that the Huns can't kill them all. You see, we were in Mayi at the beginning, and the military officials could only lead an army of 20.

Now that he has gone through so many wars, Yi Zhixie can still command an army of 90 troops.

If it is placed in a big man, His Majesty will not be able to support it and will take the initiative to make peace with the Huns. "

Wei Qing is also convinced, after so many years of hard work, the result is so many, even if all the Huns are left here this time, will hundreds of thousands of Hun cavalry emerge from that place again in a few decades.

"Hey, didn't Zhang Yuan say that this is the last stop.

I believe him. "

"I also choose to trust Brother Yuan, but what solution can he come up with now to solve our predicament?"

"We still have time, just wait."

In the camp of the Huns, Xin Zhao came out of the team transporting cattle and sheep alone.

He found a Hun at random, and asked where King Hunxie's tent was in the Hunxie language.

After Xin Zhao changed his costume, he returned to his previous appearance in the Xiongnu.

So there was no suspicion at all.

The Huns may doubt the Han people, but they will never doubt their own people.

Suspicion among the Huns exists only at the highest levels of power, regardless of nationality.

People with power in their hands will be suspicious of others. How can an ordinary Hun go back and suspect another ordinary person?

Do you suspect that he played with his wife?

After Xin Zhao asked the answer he wanted, he went out of King Hunxie's tent openly and aboveboard.

"I want to see King Hunxie."

"Is King Hunxie also something you can see? Get out of here right away."

Xin Zhao encountered obstacles outside King Hunxie's tent.

"I also ask my brother to help me send a message, just say that Ah Huer is looking for him."

The guards outside King Hunxie's tent didn't know who Xin Zhao was, but the gold cake Xin Zhao handed over made him hesitate for a while, but the hesitation soon disappeared with the wind.

"You wait, I'll report to the king right now."

The guards turned around and went into the tent. King Hunxie was drinking and eating meat. Many of the cattle and sheep brought in today were distributed to his 20 army. He was still in a good mood.

At the very least, if he seeks refuge with the big man, the big man will definitely not be able to provide military supplies for his 20 army.

"My lord, there is a man named Ah Huer outside the account who wants to see you."

"Ahuer?"

King Hunxie chewed it carefully, he only felt that the name was very familiar, but he didn't think of who it was for a while.

"Let him in first."

"Yes."

The Da Shanyu of the Xiongnu was not a difficult person to meet with the king, and King Hunxie didn't think of any other reasons. He just met him when he said he would, just because he was in a good mood today.

Xin Zhao walked into the king's tent and glanced at King Hunxie. He had met King Hunxie three or four times before, all at the sacrificial meeting held in Dragon City.

The two are limited to knowing each other, nothing more.

"Xin Zhao!"

King Hunxie recognized Xin Zhao after seeing him.

Only then did he realize that Xin Zhao's original name was Ah Hu'er, and this name has not been mentioned for a long time. He only thought the name was familiar at first, but he didn't think about Xin Zhao.

"King Hunxie, who hasn't seen him for many years, is still in full bloom."

"Zhang Yuan sent you to see me?"

"Correct."

"How dare you come here, in case someone finds out, you can still survive?"

"As long as King Hunxie doesn't say anything, who else would know that I'm here?
Isn't the military minister already dead? As long as I don't go to Yi Zhixie's place, no one will recognize me. "

"What did Zhang Yuan send you here for?"

"General Hussars wants me to remind King Hunxie, don't forget the agreement between the big man and you.

There is one more thing, General Hussars hopes that you can instigate rebellion against the Wuhuan clan! "

King Hunxie squinted his eyes and threw the wine bottle to the ground viciously.

"It's impossible, I don't need to listen to Zhang Yuan for everything!"
