[Red Mansion] Let's listen to a general's order

"found it."

Li Lian thought to himself: Use the battlefield news kit.

"Ding! The host uses the battlefield information kit x1. It is detected that the host is in the force - Zhou Dynasty, and is in the battlefield position - Yanmen County. The hostile forces are Huns, Turks, and Xianbei, and the neutral force is Rouran. Successfully used the battlefield News bag."

The battlefield information kit means that the host can use the battlefield information kit to obtain unknown enemy action information, such as army deployment, support army targets and numbers, etc.

"Ding! It was successfully detected that there is a cavalry composed of Huns and Turks outside Sufang County, with a number of 20."

Sufang County! ?

Li Lian stared at the location of Sufang County on the map.

I meditated in my heart: Continue to use the battlefield news kit.

"Ding! The host uses the battlefield information kit x1. It is detected that the host is in the power---Zhou Dynasty, and is in the battlefield position---Yanmen County. The hostile forces are Huns, Turks, and Xianbei, and the neutral force is Rouran. Successfully used the battlefield News bag."

"Ding! It was successfully detected that there is a Hun cavalry five miles away from Daijun, with a number of 3."

What! ?Dai County! !

Li Lian's complexion suddenly changed, and he stood up abruptly.

"Damn it! His goal is the capital city!!!"

At the beginning of the founding of the former dynasty, the north was often threatened by foreigners, so the capital was moved to Beiping and changed to the capital.However, after the founding of this dynasty, the Xiongnu, Turks and other foreign tribes were ready to move, so Beijing also used the capital as its capital to suppress chaos outside.

And Dai County is only three days away from the fast horse in the capital! ! !

"What did you see!?" He Qi and the others couldn't help being anxious when they heard the word "capital".

Li Lian couldn't explain why he was able to know the news that Hu Hanxie sent people to raid the capital, so he could only use his brain immediately, trying to express his thoughts in other ways.

"Come on! Send scouts to investigate the number of people in the Huns and Turkic camps." He turned around and gave an order.

"Also, sending fast horses to investigate around Sufang County and Dai County will be different!"

As expected of He Qi, a seasoned veteran, he knew what Li Lian meant when he heard Xiange's song.

He said solemnly: "Are you suspicious of Hu Hanxie's tricks?"

Li Lian didn't answer clearly, but asked instead: "If the general is in charge of millions of soldiers capable of recruiting good fighters, will the general disregard everything and garrison troops outside the Yanmen to stand in a stalemate with our more than 80 generals?"

The answer is naturally no!

It is really a stalemate in Yanmen. Judging by the strength of the two sides alone, it is enough to stalemate for several years.

After thinking this through, the faces of the generals became more and more gloomy, and a little panic rose in their hearts.

If it is true what Li Lian said, the Huhanxie faction's army captured Sufang County, and even captured Shang County and penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Zhou Dynasty, it would not be the worst outcome.I'm afraid that Hu Hanxie's men and horses will quietly detour and point directly at the center of Dazhou from Daijun—the capital!

Due to the Northern Expedition, the three most elite armies in the capital ── Tiance Mansion, Lantian Camp, and Fengtai Camp have all come out.At present, there are only [-] defenders left in the capital, [-] royal horse troops, plus all kinds of other troops, there are no more than [-] soldiers available for battle.

Pingbei General Ying Jin hurriedly said: "Marshal, please order! Let the last general lead the army back to the capital!" No matter whether Li Lian's guess is correct or not, the capital is really important. The emperor, the emperor and their families are all in the capital. Here, they dare not even take the slightest risk.

"The final general would like to return to the capital together!" Xue Songfu, the backbone general, clasped his fists together and said.

Li Lian ignored them, closed his eyes and thought about how to solve the current predicament.

Fighting wars is not a child's play. If he is brave but not resourceful, how can He De become a constant winner?

Li Lian won the title of champion not only because of the love of the two emperors, nor because of his unparalleled military strength, but also because of his wisdom on the battlefield.

The capital was at stake, and he was more impatient than anyone else.

The Supreme Emperor, Jia She, Xiao Zhang, Jia Hu and other people Li Lian cares about are all in the capital.

He tried his best to calm down, deliberating over the two messages given by the system word by word.

"Ding! It was successfully detected that there is a cavalry composed of Huns and Turks outside Sufang County, with a number of 20."

"Ding! It was successfully detected that there is a Hun cavalry five miles away from Daijun, with a number of 3."

According to the system, there is a cavalry force composed of Huns and Turks outside Sufang County, with a number of 20.The 20 people most likely came from Helan Mountain in the west, so Yunzhong County in the east of Sufang County did not get any news of the passing of the Hun Allied Forces.It seems that Sufang County should have been surrounded by 20 cavalry from the Huns and Turks.The reason why there is no news is that the Xiongnu and Turks control the main roads around Sufang County, and the defenders of Sufang County are not allowed to go out of the city to ask for help and leak the news.

The [-] Xiongnu cavalry five miles away from Daijun should be a cavalry that was transferred out of the camp according to normal procedures when the Huhanxie army attacked the city for several days, so Xiaozhi's spy buried in the Xiongnu coalition army was attacked by the army. Attracted attention, and did not notice that a cavalry was missing.Now these [-] Xiongnu cavalry are either planning to take a detour and sneak attack on the capital, or they want to take down Daijun and cut off the throat between Yanmen and the capital.

Soon, Li Lian opened his eyes and ordered decisively: "Anbei General Fan Bu, Zhongjian General Xue Songfu, I order you two to lead our troops to Dai County immediately!" Hu Hanxie is not a risk-taker, he Every time he acted, he made a plan and then acted. Presumably, this time, he would not expect a mere 45 cavalry to capture the capital.Li Lian deduced that the [-] cavalry were going to capture Dai County, in order to shake the hearts of the Zhou army, and even force his [-] troops to return to the division of King Qin, and implement the strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao.

"The last general obeys!" Anbei General Fan Bu and Zhongjian General Xue Songfu clasped their fists together.

Li Lian did not choose Pingbei General Yingjin, who was the first to recommend himself, because most of Pingbei General Yingjin's troops were infantry, and it was not suitable to return to the army when the clock was racing against time.Anbei General Fan Bu was known for his bravery, and the backbone general Xue Songfu was best at field battles. The cooperation of the two of them, together with their 4 men and the [-] defenders of Daijun itself, was enough to easily deal with the [-] Huns cavalry.

As for Sufang County...

"General Fenwei Niu Jizong, General Weilu Gao Kegong, I ordered you two to lead our troops to pretend to rush northwestward to support Sufang County, but in fact to unite with the defenders of Dingxiang County and detour behind the enemy's camp. , took the opportunity to burn their food and grass! Cooperate with the army and attack the enemy from front to back!"

Soldiers who, deception also.To go far, pretend to be near; to go near, to pretend to be far.If you can fight, pretend you can't fight; if you want to fight, pretend not to fight.It can be true or false, and false can be false.

Sufang County itself is an important border city, and there are many soldiers stationed there. In addition, Li Lian also advised the emperor to let Shangjun increase troops to Sufang County. Now there are about 30 soldiers in Sufang County.At one hour and three quarters, the 20 cavalry of the Huns and Turks could not attack Sufang County.

That being the case, it would be better to deal with the main force of the enemy army first, and then return to Sufang County.

The Xiongnu coalition forces now have at least more than 80 people outside Yanmen City, and the daily food consumption is an astronomical figure.Moreover, whether it is the Huns, Turks, Xianbei, or Rouran, they are not farming peoples themselves.The grassland is dry and windy, and it is located in an alpine region. It is not suitable for the growth of most crops. It is impossible to grow food like the people of the Zhou Dynasty and be self-sufficient.The food and grass are mainly driven by ordinary tribesmen who drive countless cattle and sheep, and follow behind the army. When it is time to eat, the tribesman quickly kills cattle and sheep for the soldiers to eat.

As long as all the cattle, sheep, food, and grass of the Xiongnu coalition army are burned... No, only five or six out of ten of them need to be burned, and then Da Zhou will be able to gain the upper hand, fight steadily, and gradually eat up the more than 80 people.

Niu Jizong seems to be rough and bold, but in fact he is rough and subtle, he knows how to change, he is able to stand on his own, and he has the style of a general.Li Lian was very relieved to order him to lead an army alone to take on this important task.

"The general obeys orders!" Niu Jizong's eyes were shining, his body was like an iron tower, and his muscles were knotted, as if he had inexhaustible strength.The sound is not loud, but it has the power to shake the eardrums. If ordinary people listen to it, they will definitely ring in their ears.

Hu Hanxie is just past his prime this year, and he is at his prime.

At this time, the overlord of the prairie was sitting in his big tent, carefully looking at a picture painted with cowhide.

rough map, ears are listening to the reports of his subordinates.

"My lord, the scouts discovered that reinforcements from the Zhou Dynasty had entered Yanmen City. According to the reports from our scouts in the Zhou Dynasty, we can be sure that the champion of the Zhou Dynasty, Li Lian, led the army to arrive." Hulu Yi said respectfully, his eyes wide open. Hanging on the ground, not daring to look at Hu Hanxie at all.

Hu Hanxie didn't know if he didn't listen to him or had other thoughts, so he ignored him.

The smile on Hu Luyi's face became even more humble, but cold sweat slowly trickled down from the back of his head.

One drop, two drops...

After a long time, "Go and call all the patriarchs and generals."

Hearing the order, Hu Luyi withdrew from the big tent as if he had received an amnesty.

The Hun Huns agreed that since the king returned from the Zhou Dynasty, the whole person has become more unpredictable.Although the former king is awe-inspiring and unfathomable, they can still make a rough guess.The current Wang is more and more difficult to see clearly, and no one knows what he is thinking, as if he has become an impenetrable deep pool.

Although Hu Luyi, who accompanied the king on his mission to the Zhou Dynasty, knew the reason for the king's change, he knew even better that if he dared to reveal the slightest bit of information, he would definitely die without anyone noticing.

Hu Hanxie looked at the map fascinated. The Great Huns hadn't successfully entered the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and now he would personally lead millions of warriors to the south to establish a new dynasty, a dynasty that belonged to his Great Huns.

One by one, the Xiongnu nobles in fine armor stepped into the big tent one after another.

The old tribal chiefs began to wink at each other and use some imperceptible gestures to exchange various meanings.

"Historical Records" records: "The Huns do not have documents, but are bound by words."

The Huns did not have their own written language, but only used oral language to restrain each other.

Since Hu Hanxie came to power, he has vigorously promoted the learning of Chinese characters among his people, but some old or really rotten nobles of the Xiongnu are still illiterate.However, for many years, although the Xiongnu nobles did not know how to read, it did not prevent them from creating their own body language and passing it on from generation to generation.

Just as the last young general of the Xiongnu, Urigun, gently raised the curtain, the older Xiongnu nobles glanced at him with ambiguous eyes, and then each made a few gestures, with obvious disdain.But the younger peers gave him a look of envy and hatred. If it wasn't for Hu Hanxie's big tent, they would have started to "challenge" Wu Ligun again.

Wu Ligun remained silent, and sat down on the third person's seat below Hu Hanxie's right hand with lowered eyebrows.

Seeing that all the nobles had arrived, Hu Hanxie stood up abruptly.

The knife-sharpened face with lightning-like eyes, the goose-feathered chain mail he acquired at a great price, his strong arms and calloused tiger's mouth all prove that this king of the prairie can mount a war horse at any time , Raised the tiger head Zhan golden gun and led the warriors of the tribe to fight.

Under the coercion of this kingly aura, no matter what they were thinking in their hearts, all the leaders of the Xiongnu nobles lowered their heads, bent down, and touched their foreheads to the ground to express their submission to the wolf king.

"Ten years."

"Since the battle ten years ago, our Huns have not gone south for ten years."

"Is it because we are afraid? No! It's just because we need time to prepare. And now! It's time for us to finish our preparation and have a great harvest!!!"

"Now in Yanmen City, we have to face not only Zhao Guogong He Qi of the Zhou Dynasty, but also the champion Hou Li Lian who once beheaded Dong Muhe and killed tens of thousands of our great Xiongnu warriors!"

"Tell Gu! Are you scared!?"

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!" The young generals on the right below said passionately.

On the contrary, the patriarchs of the group of tribes on the left looked at each other with hesitation in their eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.

The current Xiongnu can be roughly divided into two factions, the younger generation promoted by Hu Hanxie and the noble patriarch of the former Da Shan Yu Yizhixie.Needless to say, the younger generation who were promoted by Hu Hanxie are naturally Hu Hanxie's most loyal supporters. They are talented, potential, and vigorous, but due to the short time, they cannot compete with The patriarchs of other large tribes contended.However, the aristocratic patriarchs in the era of the former great chan Yu Yizhixie had doubts about Hu Hanxie because of the unknown cause of the death of the former great chanyu Yizhixie, and the fact that the former Youri Zhu King Dong Muhe was killed by the Zhou Dynasty captives. .

Unlike the younger generation who faced the mighty Zhou Dynasty for the first time, their group of patriarchs can still remember what happened in that battle ten years ago, whether it was Li Lian's shocking murder of a Hun warrior, or Hu Hanxie's murder with a knife They all felt vividly the matter of chasing king Dong Muhe on the right before the successful plan.

Hu Hanxie knew that this group of old foxes might be a little bit afraid of Li Lian's cruelty, or that he might take the opportunity to liquidate the tribal chief who didn't agree with him, but they were more of a gesture, waiting for him to distribute the benefits.

"Tell Gu! Are your bowstrings rotten? Are your swords curled? The barren grasslands can no longer feed our cattle and sheep, but the greedy and incompetent Zhou people occupy the richest land!"

"Gu promise, after the city is broken, the army will slaughter and loot the city for ten days."

No need to look, Hu Hanxie also knew that the eyes of the tribal chiefs lit up at this time, and they were looking at him eagerly.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Back then Li Lian pitted the warrior who killed our great Xiongnu, today he should slaughter the whole city of the Zhou Dynasty and avenge his shame!"

"The subordinates fully support His Majesty's decision, and only His Majesty follows suit!"

"Siege the city tomorrow, this Urolan tribe is willing to be the vanguard!"

No wonder they are suddenly so enthusiastic. You must know what is most attractive to them on the grassland. It is definitely not gold, silver, jewelry, or antique paintings. According to their importance, they are iron objects and women.

The Huns can raise the fattest cattle and sheep, and the strongest horses, but they can't make even a small iron needle.They themselves do not know smelting technology, nor do they produce iron ore, and the iron tools they need must flow in from Dazhou or other regions.In Dazhou, the border market was closed for a long time and trade was prohibited. Only a few smugglers who wanted money and life dared to sell a small amount of ironware to the Huns.

Therefore, iron pots have become a rarity in the grasslands. Without iron pots, it would be a problem for the Huns to cook meat after slaughtering cattle and sheep.Li Lian looks ordinary, with a lot of even worthless iron nails and iron needles, all of which are in short supply on the grassland.

Due to the dry and cold climate of the grassland, it is difficult for young girls with weak bodies to survive, so the proportion of women in the tribe is rare. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, their appearance is below the average level, which is difficult to arouse the interest of the Xiongnu warriors.Moreover, due to the long-term scarcity of women, a large number of adult men of the Xiongnu had no women to marry, so the beautiful female slaves of the Zhou Dynasty were enthusiastically sought after in this market.

With Hu Hanxie's promise, after capturing Yanmen County, the Huns will be able to snatch all the iron tools and beautiful Zhou women they need...

Looking at the scene in front of him, Hu Hanxie was very satisfied.He has successfully aroused the desire and greed of all his subordinates, whoever dares to stop them from advancing at this time, then these prairie wolves who have starved and green eyes will tear him apart mercilessly!

He had a premonition that tomorrow would be the real beginning of this battle. At this time, he wanted these profit-seeking old foxes to not be able to preserve their strength.

In terms of the elite of the soldiers, Hu Hanxie is not afraid to admit that the army of the Zhou Dynasty is indeed superior to the warriors of the Xiongnu.

only……

A mob will not necessarily be defeated.It only cares about the ability of the leader.

Li Lian...

Hu Hanxie raised his head, his eyes were out of focus, and he seemed to be in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Tonight will be a sleepless night.
