From eunuch to emperor

"I want to remind the general that if the blizzard at the Hera Pass is strong enough, the north of Wuli Mountain will be covered with ice and snow."

"At that time, Yeluhong may still take the opportunity to counterattack, the general must be prepared."

Chen Dong's news is very valuable, Long Chen didn't consider it.

If a blizzard hits suddenly, and the Dazhou army is not prepared to keep out the cold, Yeluhong takes advantage of the blizzard to attack, and the consequences will be disastrous.

"Okay, I just paid three times the price to buy winter supplies, you have to give it to me!"

"Send me some more infantry equipment! Also, I wanted to ask, can you get some skis?"

Long Chen said solemnly.

Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, a trace of surprise and joy appeared on his face, but then he calmed down and said, "As long as you give money, you can do it, the general has other plans?"

Long Chen said with a smile: "Businessmen only talk about business, don't ask about other things."

Chen Dong smiled and said: "Okay, we must deliver it on time! I am looking forward to the general's battle plan."

Long Chen wins more with less every time, playing very wonderfully, Chen Dong feels like he is watching a big show.

"One more thing I want to ask, where are Yeluhong's mother-in-law and children?"

Chen Dong hesitated and said, "Why is the general asking this?"

The battle between the armies has nothing to do with Yeluhong's wife and children.

"If you know, tell me immediately."

Long Chen got out of the tent, returned to the camp, and found Di Lingyi.

"Have you gone to find the caravan of the Tianxiahui?"

Di Lingyi just got up and was still combing her hair.

"Yes, I asked them to prepare enough supplies to keep out the cold."

Di Lingyi was a little strange, and asked, "Aren't our cotton coats enough now? We also need supplies to keep out the cold?"

Long Chen said: "I heard that the north of Wuli Mountain is cold in spring from time to time, if there is a snowstorm, our current supplies are simply not enough."

"I plan to keep only half of the [-] logistics troops, and the rest will escort the wounded to retreat first."

Di Lingyi looked up at the sky where the sun was shining, and said, "Are you being too cautious?"

Long Chen said: "There is nothing wrong with being cautious, retreat first, the wounded remain on the battlefield is also a burden."

Di Lingyi nodded in agreement, and immediately asked Zhang Man to lead the team and lead the wounded to retreat south.

Long Chen also persuaded Wu Xiangyun to leave first, of course Wu Xiangyun was unwilling, but Long Chen finally let her leave after all he said.

...

Hera Pass.

There is a mountain range here that stretches for thousands of miles, and the north is a completely cold area, with only ice and snow and vast coniferous forests, even the barbarians dare not enter.

There is a gap in the middle of thousands of miles of mountains, which is the Hera Pass.

The cold wind from the north blows south from the Hera Pass, bringing cold ice and snow.

Ma Zun was wearing a thick sheepskin coat and a thick sheepskin hat on his head, his nose was frozen into ice lumps.

"No wonder the abbot said that cold is the wolf clan's most powerful weapon. If our soldiers get here, they will freeze to death."

At the beginning, Ma Zun was stubborn and only wore a monk's robe. Later, he couldn't bear the cold and put on a sheepskin coat. Later, when his bald head was frozen, he put on a sheepskin hat.

Yeluhong walked in front without saying a word, sitting on his horse with one foot deep and one foot shallow, stepping forward in the snow with difficulty.

The wise man Abji said: "Yes, the cold is our greatest barrier."

The barbarian army walked less and less, with only more than 5 soldiers following behind.

The battle of Ahbo suffered heavy losses. The wolf cavalry was almost wiped out, and half of the Dan warriors were killed, leaving only more than 1.

The other tribes were defeated twice in a row, and they had a lot of grievances against Yeluhong, especially when the wise kings of the left and right were captured, and many of their subordinates fled halfway.

When they reached the Hela Pass, Yeluhong ordered tents to be pitched and a camp built on the spot.

Sitting in the tent, counting the number of people, there are not many remaining tribal leaders.

"Chan Yu, do you want to bring the Yan clan and the princes here?"

During this time, Yeluhong hid his wife and children, and the families of other soldiers did not accompany the army.

Now that the situation is urgent, Abji proposed to bring someone here.

"No, wait until we defeat Long Chengen."

Yeluhong didn't want his family to be killed, so he thought it better not to come.

"We're down to 5 fighters now..."

Yeluhong sighed, feeling very powerless.

Ma Zun comforted: "Shanyu doesn't have to be like this. Long Chengen didn't get any benefits in the battle of Ahbo. He can use no more than 3 soldiers and horses. We still have the advantage."

Yeluhong was a little speechless, 5 to 3, what kind of military advantage.

Abuji also said: "I think a blizzard is coming, and we can counterattack when the snow and ice fall on Akhbo again."

Yeluhong was very helpless, and said: "That's the only way, let's rest here first, I don't think Long Chengen will dare to chase here."

The Hela Pass is the coldest place on the grassland, and Yeluhong felt that it was the safest place.

Outside the tent, Baoyin hurried in and said: "Shanyu, I just got the news that Tuzhi claimed to be Shanyu in Akhbo, and the wise kings of the left and right and the leaders of Halle's group admitted it."

"Tuzhi is sending envoys to tell all the tribes in the grassland to submit to them."

Hearing this news, Yeluhong jumped up angrily, and cursed: "What right does he have to call himself Shanyu, he has not been confirmed by the wolf god!"

"Yeluxiong and Yelusu, these two traitors, the king saw that they were not loyal, so they defected to the enemy!"

"Send envoys to tell the grassland ministries that this king is Shan Yu, not Tuzhi!"

Baoyin immediately went out of the account and sent waiting riders to pass orders to various ministries in the grassland.

The wise man Abuji worried: "If Tuzhi and Long Chengen go to Buhan Holy Mountain to offer sacrifices, what should we do?"

In the eyes of the barbarians, as long as they have sacrificed at Buhan Mountain, they have obtained the orthodoxy of the throne.

Yeluhong couldn't sit still, and said angrily, "Send troops to Buhan Mountain immediately, we must stop Tuzhi from doing so!"

Ma Zun immediately stopped him and said, "Don't be impatient, Shanyu. If we go to Buhan Mountain, we will easily fall into Long Cheng'en's trap."

Yeluhong didn't care, and said: "Mount Buhan is a holy mountain. If Tuzhi worships the wolf god, he can become the orthodoxy of the grassland."

Ma Zun said: "Is it really related to orthodoxy and worshiping the wolf god?"

Yeluhong was silent...

Back then, Huxie was the Chanyu, and Yeluhong ascended to Shanyu's seat by virtue of a sneak attack.

Although the wolf god is the belief of the wolf clan, strength is the most fundamental.

"As long as Shanyu kills Tuzhi, what if he sacrificed to the wolf god?"

"Shanyu cares so much about Mount Buhan, Long Cheng'en must know that he must lie in ambush at Mount Buhan, and it will be another defeat at that time."

Ma Zun is a bystander and sees more thoroughly.

Yeluhong also calmed down, and said: "The mage is right. Even if he sacrificed to the wolf god, as long as I kill him, I will still be orthodox."

"Just wait, when the blizzard comes, this king is still the king of the wolf clan!"

...

Ah Po.

Cotton clothes to keep out the cold and horse clothes for war horses arrived one after another.

It has to be said that Tianxiahui really has the ability to deliver supplies so quickly in such a place far away from the Central Plains.

Zhang Qian picked up the horse coat and said, "I'm afraid ordinary people can't wear such a good horse coat."

Di Lingyi asked, "Isn't it expensive?"

Long Chen said: "It's expensive, but it's worth it. If this battle can permanently solve the threat of the barbarians, we won't need to gather heavy troops after Yanmen Pass. We can also establish elite cavalry."

Long Chen supported Tuzhi to become the new Chanyu, and Tuzhi would definitely repay it, and it was impossible to give it in vain.

War horses are the most precious material in the grassland, and they are also the basis for building elite cavalry, which is what Long Chen values ​​most.

"And then? What do you want to do?"

Di Lingyi was a little curious, after the suppression of the barbarians, Long Chen seemed to have new ideas.
