I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 212 The Terrified Liu Xi

On behalf of the country, on behalf of the city.

Those savage Huns yelled in their peculiar language in the city, which was even louder and more incomprehensible than the "bird language" of Chu Manzi.

Dai Wang Liu Xi only went up to the city wall to take a look. Thanks to the Prime Minister and attendants standing beside him, he didn't fall directly on the city wall. However, many soldiers saw his embarrassment, and their morale became more and more low.

Liu Xi, who didn't dare to wait any longer, encouraged the generals under his command with a pale face, and left in a hurry.

When he returned to the palace, he found the princess and his son in shock, and said sadly: "There are more Huns outside the city than rice in the paddy fields. At a glance, they are as terrifying as a plague of locusts.

The walls of Dai City are not thick, and the weapons of the soldiers are not sharp. It may not last for a month, and the walls will fall down like straw under the wind.

I have heard of the cruelty of these Huns, they are the most vicious officials in Qin Dynasty, they will kill men taller than horses in the city, and loot all the livestock and women inside..."

As he spoke, the Daiwang, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, trembled and wept in fear, just like a farmer with no harvest after a drought, pitiful.

"Father, don't be afraid. Although those Huns are powerful, they don't know how to make siege equipment, and they can't break through the walls of Daicheng." Liu Bi took a step forward to calm his father's emotions.

He is only seven feet long, has sword eyebrows and star eyes, and is very heroic. There is a saying at home and abroad that "the king of Dai looks like an honest farmer in the field, but the prince of Dai looks more like a monarch".

Liu Xi pulled his hair, and said dejectedly: "Those Huns and savages really can't attack the city? But there is not enough food in Daicheng, and the spring plowing is just over, and even the first wave of wheat is only half-ripe. As a result, these The Huns came, alas, they really ruined my good land outside the city, which should have a good harvest..."

Seeing his father's appearance, Liu Bi was quite helpless.

If his father's surname is not Liu, how could Ji's father make him king.

Compared with his uncle Liu Jiao, who was also crowned king, his father was far behind in terms of city, ability, and experience.The only place where he can excel is probably the ability to farm.After the feudal kingdom was established, Liu Xi never forgot his hobby of farming. He purposely circled four or five pieces of fertile land outside the city, and sent people to plant them, and occasionally started it himself.

As for Dai's state affairs, most of them are handled by the Prime Minister, while Liu Xi is a ruthless stamping machine, but the only advantage is that he will not interfere too much with the Prime Minister's affairs.

Liu Xi's emotions tended to collapse again: "Oh, the food is gone, what can we do, these Huns really deserve to die. They used to have only a few hundred people, only at the border, and never invaded more than a hundred miles.

This time the Xiongnu turned out to be tens of thousands, maybe more than 3, and directly killed our king's capital. If the generals guarding the city hadn't reacted quickly and quickly closed the city gate, they would have even rushed into the city at that time. Terrible, terrible. "

He murmured, shaking his head constantly.

The battle of the Huns this time is indeed unprecedented. In the pre-Qin period, neither the Xirong nor the Donghu could have a population of millions and bring out hundreds of thousands of people at once.

So don't blame Liu Xi for stretching his hips too much, it's actually Xiongnu who is too supermodel.

After tens of thousands of cavalry broke through the border of Dai, the soldiers who delivered the alarm were not even as fast as the cavalry of the Huns. Therefore, the news that the Huns went south arrived in Daicheng only one day earlier than the Huns. Many people thought it was just a small invasion and ignored it.

He continued to comfort his father with a few words, but it didn't work at all. Liu Bi gritted his teeth and said: "Since my father thinks that the food in the city is not enough, and it is difficult to resist the Huns, please give me three hundred cavalry. I will fight out of the city in the dark. Pray for help for the country."

His eyes were firm and decisive, and he obviously had his own considerations.

Although the number of Huns is large, they don't know the terrain of Dai, and they can't cover all the corners of Dai. As long as they rush to a place [-] miles away from Dai City, take the trail and enter the forest, the probability of encountering the Huns who invaded the south Very low, enter Zhao land, and send an early warning to Chang'an, the army should be able to come to help within two months.

After the Han army is dispatched, the Huns will naturally run back to the grassland.

Hearing the proposal, Liu Xi cried and refused: "But... er, it's too dangerous outside. Those Huns surrounded the city of Dai City. Besides, they are very good at riding... No, no, it's too dangerous for you to take people out, Father can't let you do this."

Liu Bi was silent for a moment, and could only sigh.

Liushen Wuzhu's father is obviously worried about his own safety, but why am I so overwhelmed?

He took a deep breath and said, "If father is worried, you can give me another five hundred cavalry. In the past, Yang Xiahou led eight hundred cavalry to kill Qin general Wang Li among the 30 Qin army. My son can also use eight hundred cavalry. The hundred cavalry broke out to find aid for you."

Chen Luo, who cited his own role model, used his work as an example, Liu Bi did not want to passively wait for death.

Liu Xi stopped crying, and said in a low voice: "If you take away eight hundred cavalrymen, will the guards in Daicheng be a little less? Those cavalry are all elite soldiers, and the guards in Daicheng are not good at all. A lot, and you have to go, and you have to bring a lot of food on the road, hey, if my few fields outside the city are still there, food will definitely not be a problem, right..."

"Father, then I only need four hundred cavalry!" Liu Bi interrupted his father's chatter, bowed respectfully, and said, "My son will definitely come back alive."

The queen on the side also supported in a low voice: "Xi, let Bi'er lead the troops away, isn't his cavalry and archery usually praised by the generals in the army?"

Liu Xi still looked hesitant, and after a long time, he nodded slowly, and told him again: "My son, I have taught you which wild vegetables in the wild are edible, and don't drink dirty raw food. water, and..."

Divide the words into two ends, and don't listen to Dai Wang's beep.

Chang'an City, Yangxiahou Mansion.

Chen Luo sat in front of the case, flipping through the silk script and bamboo slips.

Most of the bamboo slips are cumbersome official documents waiting to be processed, while the silk scripts are news from Mohist disciples from all over the place.

Those Mohist disciples do have the ability to go deep into the grassroots. Most of them are proficient in the languages ​​of two or three places. They can speak Chu, Qi and Zhao. They can quickly integrate into the local environment.

Therefore, Chen Luo used the information they provided to impeach those corrupt officials.

"Deng thud." There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and a guard knocked on the door and walked in after being answered, "My lord, here is an urgent message from a Mohist disciple."
