contend

Chapter 171 Ambition
The breath of war hangs over the West Sea.

A cavalry force of more than 2 people marched in the direction of Longqi.

"Shao Tidun, I heard that you are the queen of Yanqi?" Bald was riding on the horse, casually chatting.

Yanqi was originally the Shu Kingdom of the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu conquered the king day by day and used his land to set up boy servants and captains to envoys to the Western Regions.

The Huns were defeated by the Han, and Yanqi naturally fell to the Han.

But in the 18th year of Yongping, when Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty died, Yanqi took advantage of the national funeral and attacked and killed Chen Mu, the governor of the Western Regions. Qiuci, Gumo, Weitou, Shache, and Wensu rebelled one after another, responding to Yanqi.

Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, thinking that Ban Chao was isolated and helpless, and wanted to recall him, Ban Chao wrote a letter, proposing a policy of using the barbarians to control the barbarians, and Emperor Zhang greatly praised him.

In the 20 years before and after, thousands of troops combined vertically and horizontally, swept across the countries, broke the [-] troops of the Guishuang Empire, and abolished King Kucha and King Yanqi.

When Bald asked this, Shao Ti's heart arose.

No one knows whether the ancestor is Prince Yanqi or not.

In order to create momentum, at Meng Guan's suggestion, he lied as the queen of Prince Yanqi.

The effect was immediate, and a large number of Hu tribes from the Western Regions joined under his command, which instantly swelled Shao Tilun's strength.

When fleeing to Bald, Bald pointed to the vast sky with one hand and the snow-capped mountains with the other, and patted his chest as a brother.

In just one year, Shao Tilun himself felt like a dream when he transformed from a slave to a prince of Yanqi on the West Sea.

Occasionally, he will also have a trace of ambition that he shouldn't have.

But it was canceled in an instant.

The man from Xiping County was forever etched in his heart like a demon god.

Powerful, cruel, wise, invincible.

On the other hand, Bald, the name is the same as his own, with a few long hairs scattered on his head, like an old dog that has lost its hair, Kong Wu's upper body is strong and strong, but his lower body is extremely short.

Although among the leaders of the various ministries, he can be regarded as a general in the scorpion.

But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the overlord of the West Sea.

People should have self-knowledge.

Shao Tixun felt that if he was bald, he might as well surrender early while he had some strength.

He must not be able to defeat that demon god in Xiping.

Not to mention the opponent of Wei behind him.

Ye Wudai and Midang are living examples.

It's a pity that Shao Tidun is not bald.

"Brother Hui, my ancestor, King Yanqi, once fought against a big man, but unfortunately he was no match, so he had to flee south to the West Sea." Shao Tilun opened his eyes and said nonsense.

"Haha, my ancestor King Xiutu was not a match for the big man, he was defeated by Nahuo Qubing." Bald was not ashamed but proud.

This is the logic of the prairie people, obey the strong and respect the strong.

Yang Zheng had never beaten him, but he had gathered all the tribes of the West Sea to defeat Midang, so it was inevitable that he would be a little swollen.

"Xihai is a good place. If it is occupied, it will be enough to restore the glory of our ancestors." A psychedelic look flashed in the bald eyes.

Shao Tidun hurriedly made a Hun salute, "I wish to help my brother regain his hegemony!"

"If I succeed, you will be my deputy king!"

"Thank you brother!"

The two of you said one sentence to another, one boasted and the other praised, the atmosphere was quite enthusiastic.

Meng Guan, who was pretending to be a personal soldier, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

Among the youth camp, Meng Guan is the most special one, extremely studious, especially good at arithmetic.

It has only been less than four months since I came to Xihai, and I have learned Hu language.

So I can understand the conversation between the two.

Shao Tidun is a puppet on the surface, and he is the one who is really manipulating everything secretly, a young man who has just reached his full age.

In troubled times, many people went to the battlefield at the age of fourteen or fifteen.

Shao Tixun feared Yang Zheng, while Meng Guan respected him.

If there is no extraordinary courage, who would use a young boy as a general?
Since ancient times, women look for those who please themselves, and men die for those who know themselves.

Meng Guan's heart of serving others and making contributions are extremely strong.

"My lord, Yang Zheng leads [-] troops to confront Bai Conghu and Juqu Luobayan in Muchenggu!" Several cavalrymen came from the east.

"Seven thousand troops? Yang Zheng only has seven thousand troops?"

"Yes, only 7000 people!" The scout confirmed.

"Congratulations, brother. This trip will definitely defeat Yang Zheng, and maybe even Xiping can be taken." Shao Tixun took the opportunity to apply the medicine.

Regardless of the poison or good medicine, baldness is very beneficial, and the joy on the face is uncontrollable. When the big mouth smiles, the buck teeth in the mouth protrude, "Haha, heaven help me, heaven help me, that thief Yang Zheng is really arrogant, so small Look at me and wait, you will seek your own death!"

Shao Tidun glanced away from the corner of his eye, and the other leaders were also overjoyed.

As if the battle had not yet been fought, the outcome would be decided.

He couldn't help but think of Ye Wudai back then, who was no different from today.

"Order the whole army to speed up the march and go straight to Mucheng Valley." People are refreshed on happy occasions, and Bald's voice is a little louder.

The hooves of the horses rumbled and trampled on the ground.

However, his bald ambition did not infect his followers.

These 2 people are already used to being loose. It’s okay not to run, and they can still recognize their own flags. Once they run, they will crowd each other and become a mess.

In order to fight for the road, some cavalry collided with each other, drew their knives and slashed at each other cursingly.

Bald rushed to the front, no matter what happened behind, just rushed to Muchenggu in such a mess.

The two armies confronted each other with clear distinctions.

In the north of the valley, there is a dense forest, and people and animals live together, which is quite mixed.

Gunan has dense antlers, the camp is well-organized, rangers are patrolling back and forth, and spearmen are waiting with swords and shields in armor. Although the troops are insufficient, their morale is high.

Bald was originally aggressive, but when he saw Wei Jun's battle, he felt a little guilty.

"Brother is going to go all out, go around the southwest, attack the rear fiercely, and attack from both sides with Yueshi and Juqu!" Shao Tidun urged.

A few drops of cold sweat broke out on his bald face, which was as thick as bark, and he laughed dryly with his mouth open, "Our army is far away, and our foothold is not stable, so it is not suitable to attack. Let's take a look first."

"The leader said so."

"If Yuezhi and Juqu don't attack, why should we attack?"

……

Several leaders chattered, and immediately started discussing.

Meng Guan couldn't help it, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he immediately lowered his head so that others could not see his face.

Shao Tidun was also sneering in his heart, and he became more determined in his choice.

How can this group of people succeed?
As soon as he settled down and put up the tent, the messenger from Juqu came.

"My lord asked you to attack tomorrow."

Bald was taken aback, "What about you?"

"My lord has his own plans, you just follow orders."

Juqu used to be a high-ranking official of the Xiongnu. He thought he had the highest seniority among the remnants of the Xiongnu, so he looked down on Julu.

Shao Tidun chimed in and said: "My elder brother is the queen of King Xiutu, how can you allow you to come and drink?"

The envoy of Juqu laughed loudly: "King Xiutu is in charge of Xiutu, Dugu, and Tu each. Which one are you?"

A piece of old bark was bald and his face was flushed.

It is okay to let him kill people, but it is difficult for him to turn over his ancestor's brand.

King Xiutu just opened his mouth to talk, in order to recognize a relative and attract the Hun chieftain of Wuwei to give him a hand.

However, the various ministries of the Huns lived well in Wei, and looked down on the poor relatives in this valley.

Shao Tidun didn't think it was a serious matter, so he drew his knife on the spot, "My brother is of noble birth, how can I allow you to despise him!"

A knife passes, and the red knife comes out.

Everyone thought that Shao Tidun was just threatening them, but he did it unexpectedly, so no one stopped him.

The messenger also died with regret.

Bald was also stunned.

Shao Tixun said angrily: "My brother is an eagle in the sky, and you are also wolves on the grassland. How can you suffer under someone else's crotch? In my opinion, it's better to kill the Juqu tribe!"

Several leaders still looked at him blankly.

Bald smiled wryly and said: "Brother's kindness has been accepted for brother's heart, but at this time there is internal strife, who can resist Yang Zheng?"

Shao Tidun spat, "One step at a time is one step at a time. It's really impossible to go back to the West Sea and let them annihilate."

Bald's eyes lit up, "It makes sense! As expected of my brother, we pretended to retreat, let them fight, and then returned to kill them by surprise!"

The more Bald thinks about it, the more wise he feels.

The leaders of the small tribe also praised him for his wisdom and martial arts.

Only Shao Tidun and Meng Guan looked at each other, seeing a trace of coldness in each other's eyes.
