The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 287 Shan Yu’s plan

After all, Wei Qing did not say anything else to Wei Ning, but vaguely told Wei Ning that Wei Zifu had been made empress of the Han Dynasty.

"When you return, His Majesty will give you a big surprise."

Wei Qing was silent for a moment and then said: "No matter what happened, don't resent His Majesty. He has been kept in the dark all this time. If you have anything to say when you go back, don't be angry."

"My uncle is not in Chang'an, so there are many things I can't do to persuade you. I just hope you won't be willful."

Wei Qing's words made Wei Ning even more confused and confused. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "What do you mean?"

"Isn't it a good thing that Fourth Yiniang was made a queen?"

"What surprise does Your Majesty give me? Isn't it the surprise that Fourth Yiniang was made a queen?"

Wei Zifu was established as the Queen of the Han Dynasty, which was a great joy for the entire Wei family. This was enough to take the Wei family's authority in the Han Dynasty to a higher level.

Wei Ning had always thought that the surprise mentioned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was like this, but now after listening to Wei Qing's words, he felt that it was not like this.

Wei Qing shook his head and said, "There are bigger things. Anyway, just listen to your uncle."

After a pause, Wei Qing asked Wei Ning, "When will you return to Chang'an?"

When Weining escorted the baggage to Wuwei County, the task was actually half completed. Originally, Weining was going to transport the grain to Yumen Pass, but Wuwei County needed to be managed, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty kept Weining, and the rest of the baggage was The food escorted by the troops has arrived at Yumen Pass.

What happened next had little to do with Weining.

Wei Ning said: "In two days, when the local government office in Wuwei County is built, and when His Majesty sends officials to take over, I will almost go back."

Wei Qing smiled and said, "Okay."

"By the way, the prefect Qin of Qinchuan of Shuofang County has been transferred to Chang'an."

"His Majesty specially transferred him back just to wait for you to return and allow you to marry his daughter."

Wei Ning had already written to Wei Qing about these matters, and Wei Qing also knew about them.

Wei Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's good."

"Uncle, I'll wait for you to come back and host the wedding for me."

"When are you leaving?"

Wei Qing said: "Right away."

The whereabouts of Li Guang's army are still unknown. Wei Qing needs to seize the time to go west from Yumen, join Wang Hui and Gongsun Ao's main force, and then carry out the work of rescuing Li Guang. At the same time, he will take over Li Guang's command and formally attack the Huns. Zhixie Chanyu declared war.

Wei Ning did not persuade Wei Qing to stay, but told Wei Qing to be careful in everything, and then sent Wei Qing's cavalry team away outside the west gate of Wuwei County.

……

In the hinterland of the desert more than two hundred kilometers away from Yumen Pass, a dark cavalry team was approaching the white felt tent area. They wore various clothes and had messy hairstyles.

This huge team has nearly 20,000 people, and there are countless felt tents in the desert.

Yi Zhixie Shanyu personally rode his horse to greet him.

A few days ago, he summoned soldiers and horses from the sixteen countries in the Western Region to reinforce the Xiongnu. Now, two large groups of cavalry have gathered together, forming a main force of nearly 70,000 people.

Yi Zhixie Shanyu knew that this was a last-ditch battle, and he could not lose. They had already fled from Liaodong to Hetao, and were driven from Hetao to Hexi.

The situation of the Xiongnu has undergone earth-shaking changes. Now they are beaten to the ground by the Han people. If they fail again this time, they will lose their homeland on which they depend for survival. Yi Zhixie Chanyu has to ask the sixteen countries of the Western Regions to send troops for reinforcements.

He told the leaders of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions why the Qin Dynasty started to invade the other five countries crazily after conquering the Zhao Kingdom.

If the Han Dynasty defeated the Huns, would there be any intact eggs under the overturned nest?

Yi Zhixie Shanyu had already found Li Guang's troops and had been secretly monitoring Li Guang's army.

Now Li Guang's army has been trapped in the Western Region for nearly ten days. If they are trapped for a while longer, they will be exhausted.

However, Yi Zhixie Shanyu did not intend to deal with Li Guang. He knew that Li Guang's team was no longer a threat. He was waiting for the other two troops to come to the rescue. If the other two Han Dynasty troops were defeated, the Huns could declare Victory in this war!

The Huns will rebuild their past glory. “Report!”

The Hun cavalry hurriedly rode up, found Yi Zhixie Chanyu, and shouted: "A group of Han cavalry was found on the north side, with nearly 800 people, and they overwhelmed our team of 5,000 people."

hiss!

Yi Zhixie squinted his eyes, took a breath, and said sternly: "Where are they? Have they been killed?"

"The other party was not interested in fighting. He killed one of our soldiers and horses, robbed the baggage, and ran away without stopping at all."

"Report, report!"

"There was a fire in the tent on the east side, and a small cavalry force of eight hundred men was found."

"Report, the west side has been charged, with 600 casualties."

Pieces of news continued to reach Yi Zhixie's ears, making him furious.

Which army of the Han Dynasty is this? How can there be such a fight?

They don't expect to win, they just want to disgust you. You can't catch you, and if you don't, people will die.

brute!

Yizhixie Shanyu roared angrily: "Defense! Send a group of light cavalry to chase them as well, catch them and kill them with a thousand swords!"

"Here!"

After Yi Zhixie Shanyu gave the order, he went to the Chinese army's tent to discuss the method of fighting the war with the commanders of the sixteen countries in the Western Regions.

Huo Qubing's 800 Qingqi still shuttled back and forth across the desert like desert ghosts, constantly harassing and overwhelming the Huns' camp.

At the same time, some Huns were also captured and forced to serve as guides for Huo Qubing's Qingqi team.

However, Huo Qubing soon learned of Yi Zhixie's plan to encircle Shanyu for reinforcements, so he sent a group of ten light cavalry to find Gongsun Ao's main force, and informed Gongsun Ao of the news to prevent Gongsun Ao from being fooled. Then he took the remaining cavalry and continued to run rampant in the desert.

The main forces of Gongsun Ao and Wang Hui are now moving forward until Wei Qing's troops in the rear join them.

When they learned that Wei Qing was going to take over the command, they couldn't help but be happy.

This war made both Wang Hui and Gongsun Ao feel unprecedented pressure. Only then did they realize that their abilities were not enough to lead such a large-scale war. Now the war was fought in an unorganized manner, with nothing but chicken feathers everywhere.

Just waiting for Wei Qing to take over the situation.

……

Wuwei County.

A soldier covered in blood came tiredly outside the north city of Wuwei County and shouted sternly: "Open the door, open the door! I am the messenger under General Huo!"

The guards of Wuwei County repeatedly interrogated him and let him into the city after confirming his identity.

But everyone is very curious, why did the other party come to the rear of Wuwei instead of going to Yumenguan, Zhangye and Dunhuang counties?

They did not hesitate and immediately led the cavalryman to Zhenbei Hou Weining.

"Master Wei!"

The soldier stretched his tired body and said, "We were ambushed by the Huns and driven all the way here."

"The Xiongnu Chanyu invited troops from the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions, trapped General Li's troops and horses, and waited for the main force from behind to rescue him, intending to annihilate him in one fell swoop!"

Wei Ning was stunned for a moment and said in shock: "Which soldier are you from?"

"The scouts under General Huo Qubing..." After the soldier said the last sentence, he fell to the ground in a daze.
