Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 120 The main force travels eastward
The scouting general withdrew thoughtfully, but Li Guang immediately called the other two generals he relied on.

"The Shangjun Sheriff is supported by half of Wei Qing's troops. You can go there and take command personally, but you must not overstep your authority. You must obey the Shangjun Sheriff in everything."

"Yuyang is supported by half of Li Xi's troops. The governor of Yuyang is a coward. You go there with my token and have full authority to command the army in battle."

"In terms of time, as soon as you arrive at your respective places, immediately send scouts to pay close attention to the movements of the grassland, alert the snakes, and let King Zuo Xian know that we are going to counterattack across the board. Starting from today, in five to six days, you must think There is a way to lead the army out of the Great Wall on the northern front and fight the Huns!"

Li Guang looked at his two most trusted generals with a solemn face and said: "Whether we can achieve something is second. The main thing is to prevent the Huns from fighting with us for a long time. My request to you is to start from across the border." Counting from crossing the Great Wall and fighting the Huns, it will take at least ten days."

Finally, Li Guang asked again: "You know how to do it? No need for me to say more?"

"Just attack fiercely." A general said with a smile: "As long as there are enough arrows, we can hold on for half a month, not to mention ten days!"

Li Guang's eyes were stern: "Okay, just don't let the Huns' arrows take away the food guy. After this battle, we will go back to Chang'an for a celebration drink!"

"Order!"

The two generals clasped their fists and accepted the order.

Li Guang watched the two people go away, then turned to look at the Xiongnu army that was about to press forward again. He thought that he and his men would die here while Wei Qing and the others took advantage. The emperor would only see Wei Qing and others conquering the territory. , expand the territory, but can't see myself and others bleeding to death here, the anger in my heart instantly rises to the sky!

"Damn it! The captains of the left and right guards will use the new ring-shou sword to chop off a hundred heads for me when I go out of the city and hang them on the building!"

"Order!"

The majestic and mighty roar echoed on the tower like muffled thunder and explosions.

The sound of war drums shook the sky and the earth, and the Xiongnu army who had just pressed up, saw that the Han army had gone out of the city to fight hand-to-hand, and immediately retreated.

Seeing this scene, Li Guang suddenly slapped himself with a backhand, secretly alerting himself to calm down!

"Ming Jin withdraws troops!"

Li Guang shouted calmly, he secretly wondered why he was so confused?How could the emperor not see that he and his soldiers were bleeding and dying here?

Wei Qing and Li Huan are running thousands of miles. Once they get lost, they will be dead. The risk is far greater and more terrifying than fighting a positional battle here...

"Come here, keep an eye on the slave thieves!" Li Guang was about to return a military report to Wei Qing and others...

The Han army's unusual behavior was immediately reported to King Zuo Xian by the Hun army's scouts.

King Zuo Xian, who was squeezing the beauty in his arms in the tent, immediately pushed Mei Ji away from his arms, his eyes full of solemnity: "The scouts of the Han army appeared in large numbers, and our scouts only lasted for two days. Only five hundred horses were lost? Are all the people in the periphery eating sheep dung and drinking horse urine?"

The Hun General Zuo, who was standing in the middle of the tent, had a dark face: "Your Majesty, something is wrong. In two days, the Han army has taken the initiative to leave the city and fight with us several times. Each time, there were thousands of people and more than a thousand at least. As our army's front line retreated again and again, Li Guang suddenly became fierce."

King Zuo Xian snorted coldly: "When is Li Guang not fierce?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that reinforcements from the Han people may have arrived. Otherwise, after Han Anguo died, Li Guang should lie down behind the Great Wall and shoot at us." A tall and burly general with a fat body suddenly leaned forward and spoke.

This person is none other than Xin Zhao.

King Zuo Xian looked at Zhao Xin with a solemn look on his face: "You said before that a Han man named Li Huan invented a new type of weapon, a new type of repeating crossbow. We have already suffered a big loss in this confrontation. This Do people also participate in wars?"

Xin Zhao laughed sinisterly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that one of the purposes of our launch this time is not to attract this man to the battlefield? Since he can make so many innovations in military weapons, , that means that this person must be good at military service, and according to my understanding of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he will definitely reuse this Li Huan."

King Zuo Xian grabbed the ring-headed knife on the side and looked at it in his hand. It was a trophy captured from the battlefield. After looking around, he couldn't help but sigh: "This knife is really good." , It’s a shame that you didn’t kill the person you left in Chang’an last time. Such a person staying with the Emperor of the Han Dynasty will only be our biggest disaster!”

"Send the order and pay close attention to all battlefields. As soon as Li Huan appears, we will concentrate all our efforts to attack that battlefield. If we can capture this Li Huan alive, we must capture him alive; this person is more valuable alive than dead!"

"Here!"

Someone immediately went to deliver the order.

King Zuo Xian glanced at General Zuo who was still standing below, and said: "Find a way to capture a few alive and torture the Han army. Then order the army to disperse to the left and right wings. If Wei Qing really arrives, we must be careful. Surrounded by him." "Here!"

General Zuo clasped his fists and retreated.

Zhao Xin rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty, that Zhang Qian is a good friend of Li Huan. Why don't we think about this?"

"What do you mean..." King Zuo Xian stretched his neck and narrowed his eyes subconsciously, giving people a feeling of extreme danger.

But before Zhao Xin could speak, King Zuo Xian immediately said: "Zhang Qian was detained by King Aries. I sneer at this method of detaining envoys. It will not be easy to get him over."

Only then did Zhao Xin remember that the relationship between King Zuo Xian and King Aries was not very harmonious, mainly because of the pasture issue.

"Your Majesty, we can spread the news and declare where Zhang Qian is. As far as I know, Li Huan was picked up by Zhang Qian on the Qilian Mountains. Li Huan only needs to follow Wei Qing and lead his troops northward. Hearing that Zhang Qian was trapped If there is news about a certain place, we will definitely go to the rescue.”

King Zuo Xian pondered: "According to what you said in the past, this Li Huan is an extremely smart person. How could he be fooled like this?"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Sometimes, the more powerful the trap, the simpler it is. We just need to let the scouts in the army know where Zhang Qian is imprisoned."

When King Zuo Xian heard this, his eyes immediately lit up: "Wonderful, it's so wonderful, you should do this immediately!"

Xin Zhao was not in a hurry and was very calm: "Your Majesty, we still need to mobilize troops. If we don't mobilize troops from the west, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist the main force of the Han army after it arrives."

King Zuo Xian nodded with a thoughtful look on his face: "Don't worry, let's wait until General Zuo catches the Han scouts and tortures them to see if it is Wei Qing who led the troops here. If it is not Wei Qing, we don't have to be too afraid. Once the troops are strong, If it shrinks to the east, the west will become empty.”

Xin Zhao shook his head: "Your Majesty, the Han army doesn't know that we are deploying troops from the west, and Li Guang has sent a large number of scouts in the past two days to cross the Great Wall and engage our army in close combat. If the reinforcements hadn't arrived, where would he have the courage? ?”

"This..." King Zuo Xian was quite cautious in using his troops, but he couldn't resist being surrounded by Zhao Xin, who claimed to know the Han Empire extremely well.

Moreover, before this, there was a Bank of China on the Huns side who always gave advice to the Huns and figured out the weaknesses of the Han people so that the Huns could always take advantage in the battle with the Han Dynasty.

With the pearls and jade mentioned by Bank of China in front of him, King Zuo Xian would naturally involuntarily value "turtles" like Zhao Xin who came back from the Han Dynasty.

"It makes sense to think about it. Send an order to mobilize troops from the west. If King Aries and others have any objections, let them go to Shan Yuting to report to Shan Yu. I will lead my troops here to fight to the death against the Han people. Forget it if they don’t send troops. If they stop me from sending troops from the west, don’t blame me for turning against them!”

Zhao Xin hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise, in this battle, as long as we capture Li Huan, the Majesty's majesty, among our great Xiongnu, is only a matter of time before he overwhelms Youxian King, I have heard that , Last month, when Da Shanyu came to visit the Xinyan clan, he immediately got wind... I, the Great Huns, don't need a woman who can't even play with her..."

"It would be too early to say this." Although King Zuo Xian waved his hand to stop Zhao Xin from speaking, the look on his face was not like that.

It is said that a few months ago, King Zuo Xian dedicated a hundred beauties to the Great Chanyu, many of whom had very different looks from the Huns and Han people, and were deeply loved by the Great Chanyu...

However, the eldest Danyu is already old and has long since ceased to be as strong as a wolf and a tiger. He spends all day and night having fun with that group of lusty beauties. It would be strange if nothing goes wrong!
On the boundless grassland, Li Huan wiped the dirt from his forehead, reined in the galloping horse, turned to Su Jian beside him and asked: "General Su, calculate the distance, where are we?"

Su Jian spat and found that the spit was gray and muddy...

"After our army left Beidi County, they ran all the way west for two days..." Su Jian took a sip of water as he spoke, but did not drink it, but gargled his mouth: "Count the time, we will You should have arrived at the Qiantao Plain... But don't worry, general. The Qin Dynasty people built the Western Great Wall here in the past. The general has ordered the scouts to look for the ruins of the old earthen city wall when exploring the road; the second is the Yellow River. , as long as you find the Yellow River and follow the river, you can find Qiantao Plain."

Li Huan couldn't help but spit, which made him miss the happy days of following the map navigation in his previous life.

Qiantao Plain is Yinchuan, where he used to pass by often. It was just over 2000 years ago that the place was deserted. The army came all the way, but they didn’t even meet a living person. Originally, the army issued a kill order. Seeing people Just kill, don't let any news come out, that's what I thought...

"No problem, pass on the order. The army will rest on the spot for half an hour. Take advantage of this time to eat fried noodles. You must not light a fire to cook at this time!"

"Here!"

Su Jian immediately went to deliver the order.

At this time, Huo Qubing came galloping from a distance and rushed to Li Huan excitedly: "Father Zhong, we captured a Qiang tribe alive. There were about fifty people. Su Wu and I led the team to pick out the men. I The words came out of those women's mouths, let's go more than 50 miles east to the former site of the Great Wall of Qin, and continue to go northwest for more than a hundred miles to Henan!"

In an instant, Li Huan felt as if the blood all over his body was burning!
"Send the order, the army will have a full meal, throw away the baggage, and then march as fast as possible. At dawn tomorrow, I will step on the head of the Hun King and drink from the Yellow River!"
