Qiang Qin

What Bai Ban and Ji Du discussed that day was that he lead the troops to stir up the anger of the Central Plains people and pull the entire Xiongnu into the war. sweep.Just when the two people in the day shift were discouraged by the implementation of their planning law, things turned around again.Because of the year-long civil strife, various disasters happened to various tribes on the grassland. For a while, the herdsmen lost the necessities of life they depended on for survival. It was too late when Mao Dun discovered this problem. The tribe has all reached the brink of extinction.In order for the tribes on the grassland to survive this winter safely, Modun knew that they had to plunder a large amount of food and other necessities from the Central Plains, and the small cities on the border were because of their small population and because they were afraid of being robbed by the Huns. plundered, so there were not enough things in these cities that the Huns wanted.In this way, in order to enable the people on the grassland to continue to survive, and at the same time to consolidate its own rule, Modu had to let people kill and plunder the inner cities.

In this way, the two of Bai Ban were overjoyed, knowing that their plan could still be implemented, so Bai Ban offered a plan to Mao Dun.The Huns have always relied on bravery and ferocity in combat, and rarely used any tactics, so they often suffered losses when they fought against Zhao's famous general Li Mu, Qin's general Wang Jian, and later Meng Tian.In this way, people in the Central Plains have a prejudice against the Huns, that is, they are only fierce in combat, and they are not opponents of the Central Plains people at all when it comes to using troops.But this time the plan to attack the Central Plains designed by Bai Ban has obviously changed the Huns' consistent style.The plan is this: first let Maodun take the most elite Huns army to attack Yanmen County, so that the Qin people thought that they were going to attack the Central Plains from there, and then he led a group of people to wander on the edge of the grassland. If the defense force is weak, attack.On the other hand, Maodun can rely on Yanmen County to attack the Qin army who came to aid, so that Qin's frontiers are bound to be opened up by them.Before the expedition, Bai Ban also ordered people to manufacture many siege equipment that the Huns had never used before, which greatly strengthened the Huns' power to break the city.

Mao Dun is now only thinking about how to grab more grain and other supplies from the Central Plains, so he naturally has no objection to Bai Ban's proposal, so the Huns started this surprise attack on the Central Plains.

Everything was as Bai Ban expected, Yanmen County was broken, and Meng Yi gave up Beidi County, which he was guarding, and rushed over, thus giving Bai Ban the opportunity to take down Beidi.And Meng Yi's men were also besieged by the Huns outside Yanmen County.

With the number of casualties and the lack of morale in the army, Meng Yi had no choice but to die, so he resolutely took the lead and led people to kill him.However, the Huns obviously did not intend to fight them with their lives. Seeing the Qin army coming up, they retreated instead, but they never let the Qin people kill out of their encirclement. He fought back with a force far superior to the Qin army, and once again surrounded the Qin army tightly.If so three times, the Qin army even began to waver in its determination to die. Meng Yi had no idea what the Huns were up to. With the current favorable situation of the Huns, they could kill more than 1 Qin troops here in one battle. to die, but they just besieged and did not attack. "They must have some kind of conspiracy. Unexpectedly, the Huns, who have never been good at using tricks, have learned to use tricks." Meng Yi looked at the Huns surrounded by his army, and his heart was full of worries.

This is indeed a strategy of the Huns, but Ji Du was not the one who came up with this strategy.He has already learned that Bai Ban captured Beidi County, and from this big victory, he thought of a further strategy, that is, to use the more than 1 Qin troops here in Meng Yi as bait, and send other cities on the side The Qin army is also attracted, so that they can easily take down Ruyunzhong city.Because of the success of the Baiban strategy, Mao Dun has already won two cities in a row, and agreed to Ji Du's further strategy, so they did not take Meng Yi's strategy when the strength, morale, and situation were all in the upper hand. Instead, they spread the news that they were trapped here, and then waited quietly for the Qin army from other cities to come to the rescue.

In terms of geographical location, once Yanmen County was attacked, Zhou Xing, who was guarding the city in Yunzhong County, would be the first to arrive. When he also received the news, he wanted to send troops to rescue, but the people around him But there was a clear-headed person who stopped his actions, that is Guo Quanzhong.Because there is still a certain gap between Zhou Xing and Meng Yi in the use of troops, when he was asked to guard in the cloud, Fusu sent Guo Quanzhong, who is not weak in resourcefulness, to assist him.This time Guo Quanzhong really played his role, persuading Zhou Xingdao: "General, we have a great responsibility to guard Yunzhong. Although the strength of the defenders in Yanmen County is not as good as ours, the difference is not too big. If they can't defend Living in the city means that the Xiongnu invaded this time with a large number of soldiers and horses, and we are only going to die. What we should do now is to defend Yunzhong County, and send people to understand the situation on the side of Yan, and at the same time spread the news to Xianyang Go, let the emperor send troops to rescue."

Knowing that his decision was related to the safety of Yunzhong County, Zhou Xing agreed with Guo Quanzhong's opinion after careful consideration, and sent agile scouts to Yanmen County to find out. At the same time, he sent people to send the news to Xianyang.Soon after, Xianyang brought the imperial decree of Fusu, asking the guards of each city to strictly guard their own cities and not to go out of the city to fight the Huns, which made Zhou Xing feel that his decision was wise.

Unexpectedly, two days after receiving the imperial decree, Zhou Xing received a letter from the scouts, saying that a Qin army of more than [-] people was besieged by the Huns on a plain outside Yanmen County, and it was already in danger.This time, Zhou Xing once again fell into a dilemma. Last time he didn’t send troops, it was justified. After all, Yanmen and Yunzhong are as important, and the defenders there can still withdraw from the city, but the current situation However, Daqin's army was besieged. If he refused to save him, what would the soldiers under his command think of him, and how would other people think of him.But thinking of Fusu's edict, Zhou Xing hesitated again, and finally he had to ask Guo Quanzhong for advice.

"This is more than 1 soldiers of our Great Qin..." Guo Quanzhong murmured, "I don't want to see these soldiers of my Great Qin die, but judging from the news sent by the scouts, the Huns surrounding them are losing their strength. It is enough to annihilate them in one fell swoop, so why don't they do it? I think this should be a trap of the Huns, trying to lure the defenders of the cities like us out of the city, and then they can take advantage of the false attack I am in the city. So the most sensible way is to stay in the city and ignore this matter, so that I can protect myself in Yunzhong, and the general will not be at fault. But in this way, the more than 1 people The soldiers wanted to... But if we go out of the city to rescue them, there is no possibility of success, unless the imperial army arrives in time, we can send troops to delay the action of the Huns, and then join the imperial army to fight back against the Huns. "

He said so much, but he didn't actually give Zhou Xing a clear conclusion. He just told him the consequences of choosing a certain side, and then let him decide on his own.Zhou Xing smiled wryly, but now he was even more contradictory. If he could really rescue the more than 1 Qin army, he would lead the troops there without hesitation, but the current situation is that this is obviously a trap set by the Huns. Should I still go? "It would be great if the emperor could bring his troops here as soon as possible." In the end Zhou Xing could only say this.

Fusu is also very anxious at this time, but it is not easy to mobilize troops from all over the country. Some of the troops in those cities must be kept in case someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble and rush to Xianyang from there. The journey is not short, and these troops have just been scattered and stationed in various cities, and they have to go to the north to fight before they have rested. The soldiers are also very reluctant, so the journey time will be longer. up.Nai's Fusu had no choice but to issue several imperial edicts, forcing them to rush to Xianyang day and night.

People from all over the world have not yet arrived in Xianyang, but the bad news from the frontier has arrived. Hearing that the Huns actually tricked Meng Yi out of the city and took Beidi County, Fusu's face suddenly changed. Long An said: "Meng Yi is confused. Now that the Huns have taken two cities in a row, their morale must be high. The defenders of our northern cities must be panicked. I don't know if they can hold their respective cities before the troops and horses arrive. Ah. If another city is lost, I am afraid that all the counties in the north will be in danger, and if the north is lost, our Central Plains will be exposed in front of the Huns, and our Daqin will be in danger."

Seeing Fusu's angry look, the officials below felt a little timid in their hearts, and now the only ones who could speak to him were those closest to him.Zhang Liang looked at the other people and was about to step forward to comfort them, but Meng Tian walked out first.For a long time, Meng Tian always kept silent when encountering important events, so Zhang Liang also forgot to look at him over time, but today he spoke first.

Meng Tian's face turned red and blue: "Your Majesty, the fall of the Northland this time is indeed Meng Yi's fault. As his clan brothers and ministers, I have an inescapable responsibility, so please ask the Emperor to give me a team of troops first, and I swear to die to take the Northland Take it back from the county, or I will ask the emperor to punish the minister..." Meng Tian became more excited as he spoke, coughed twice suddenly, and spit out a big mouthful of blood from his mouth...
