Qiang Qin

Updated: 2011-01-19

Bai Ban knew that Mao Dun had asked this question for a long time, so when he heard this, he immediately said with confidence: "Shan Yu doesn't know the consistent style of the Qin people. Since the reform of Shang Yang, the Great Qin has risen rapidly. In a short period of more than a hundred years Just pacify the Central Plains, so that the Qin people have a kind of inherent arrogance, which cannot be changed. Now even if they know that their military strength is far inferior to my army of the Huns, they will not just blindly defend Yes, this is not the style of the Qin people. What's more, they still have those cavalry who are not inferior to those under Shan Yu's command, so I predict that these Qin troops will want to fight out of the city after a few days of defense. With the help of these two things, the army will definitely increase in strength, and the Qin army will be hated for it."

Mao Dun listened quietly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Bai Ban's words made sense, and finally he laughed loudly and said: "Okay, if everything is as you expected, then this cloud will definitely fall into our hands, when the time comes Shan Yu will definitely reward you."

Bai Ban hurriedly thanked him and said: "Thank you Shanyu, the general will definitely assist Shanyu in making our Hun army break into the Central Plains."

After everyone dispersed happily, Ji Du came to Bai Ban and looked at the saddle and stirrup carefully: "With these two things, the combat power of cavalry on horseback has more than doubled. His eyes are like torches. But you said just now that the Qin people will come out of the city to fight me, but I don’t take it seriously. The commander of the Qin army is not a rash person. Under such unfavorable circumstances, how can he go out of the city to fight?"

Bai Ban smiled coldly and said: "Mr. Ji, have you forgotten the purpose of you and me coming together with Maodun this time? We want to borrow the soldiers and horses of the Huns to make the Qin State restless, just because of Maodun's temporary However, our original planning law was implemented, do you think I should think about another law year?"

Ji Du asked with some insight: "You persuaded Shan Yu to let him stay here in order to provoke a bigger war between them? How can this be done?"

"It's very simple. As long as Mao Dun believes that the Qin people will come out to fight with us, our hundreds of thousands of people will stay here. Do you think the Qin people will have no defensive measures? I think Qin people should We are already dispatching the army to the north. If we just loot some cities and leave as Mao Dun said, even if the Qin reinforcements arrive, we will not be able to confront them head-on. By then, you and I think The purpose of borrowing the hands of the Huns will not be achieved. But if we keep the army here, once the Huns and the Qin army confront each other, if the Huns win, we can take advantage of the situation and enter the Central Plains, and then we can take revenge. The Qin people had the upper hand. With the speed of the Xiongnu cavalry, it was easy for them to leave. In this way, the hatred between Qin and the Huns will be even greater, and then it will not be such a trivial matter as plundering the border. So for you My wish, I must let Maodun garrison here, waiting for the Qin army to arrive, and I hope you can help me." Bai Ban said his thoughts truthfully, then looked at Ji Du, and waited Follow his response.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ban was so attentive, which really surprised Ji Du.Yes, he really wanted to help the Huns to return to the Central Plains, but he also knew that once the Huns entered the Central Plains, they would harm the people all over the world, so he has never been as radical as Bai Ban, maybe this is because the Huns were just a small A reason for the offense.At the same time, as Ji Du's life on the grassland continued to lengthen, his relationship with the Huns gradually deepened, and he didn't want to see so many people whom he regarded as relatives and friends died in battle.However, Bai Ban used this incident to force him to a point where he had to make a choice. Thinking that he was originally a royal family of the Yan Kingdom, but now he has to work with these barbarians, and thinking of the scene where his relatives were killed by the Qin people, Thinking of all the efforts he had made all the time, Ji Du chose to continue to implement this strategy with Bai Ban, he nodded and said, "Okay, I support you, let the Huns and the Qin people have a good fight here, Let's see who is stronger."

In Yunzhong City, on Zhou Xing's mansion, there are several tables of wine and food in the main hall, Han Xin, Meng Yi and Zhou Xing are sitting opposite each other, and Guo Quanzhong is on the side to accompany them.Although there was good wine and good food in front of them, none of the four of them ate their mouthfuls. Instead, they all sat there silently, staring blankly at the cases in front of them.Everyone felt that they had failed this time, and the frustration in their hearts became more intense as they entered the safety of the city.

Among the four, Meng Yi knew that he had made the biggest mistake, because his momentary greed for merit not only caused Beidi County to fall into the hands of the Huns, thus losing the barrier to the north of Xianyang, but also made people who followed him go through life and death. Many years of soldiers have died in Yanmen County, now thinking of those robes who fought bloody to death, how can Meng Yi be able to drink and eat?What he wants to do most now is to go out of the city and have a hearty battle with the Huns to avenge the more than 2 soldiers. Even if they can't kill all the enemies, dying in battle is a good way to get rid of it.

Zhou Xing was also full of remorse. Although he rescued Meng Yi this time, the rest of the troops had all died in battle, and the 5000 troops he brought with him also lost more than 1000. The number of people and horses just outweighed each other.Of course, leading troops to rescue Zhou Xing this time had planned for the worst, and even thought that not only would he not be able to save anyone, but he would also be wiped out by the Huns. In that way, the trapped men and horses over there would not be the only ones who were rescued, but those were 2 Daqin soldiers.That's why Zhou Xingcai was still full of remorse after he rescued Meng Yi. Now if he could, he would definitely lead his troops to fight the Huns outside to the end.

Guo Quanzhong understands Zhou Xing's thinking. In fact, the reason why he has never made up his mind to rescue him is because he is persuading him. If he had figured it out earlier and asked Zhou Xing to lead someone to rescue him, maybe he would really be rescued. There are tens of thousands of Qin troops instead of the current situation, so Guo Quanzhong also feels heavy in his heart.

As for Han Xin, he was not sad because the [-] soldiers died, but he was unwilling.Since he joined Fusu, he has been battle-tested for a long time, but he has never failed like today. He obviously came to the rescue, and the Xiongnu's army would be defeated under the attack of the army. They were wiped out, but yet another enemy army appeared, forcing him to retreat into the city with them.Now that he, the rescuer, has become a part of the defense of the city, thinking of this, Han Xin feels full of uselessness.

Seeing that everyone was sitting there quietly and motionless, Zhou Xing knew that he was the owner of this place anyway, so he hurriedly said, "We can escape into the city this time, thanks to General Han showing up in time with his troops. Here I thank you with wine." As he spoke, he raised his glass and drank the wine that had never been touched.

Only then did the others come out of their own thoughts, and they all drank their own wine. Han Xin smiled even more, and then said: "I don't dare to do it. I came here on the order of the emperor. Just thank the emperor."

After a few polite words, everyone was silent again, and the scene suddenly became miserable again. Seeing this, Han Xin wanted to brighten up the atmosphere, so he said to Meng Yi: "General Meng, your brother, General Meng Tian, ​​was waiting for me when I left Xianyang. I suddenly got seriously ill, so the emperor ordered me to bring troops here..." At this point, Han Xin suddenly stopped, thinking that saying this would only increase the depressed atmosphere, and it would not cheer everyone up again.

Sure enough, after hearing this, not only Meng Yi's face became even more ugly, but even Zhou Xing sighed deeply.Meng Yi said: "Presumably the elder brother got the disease because he knew that I was too unfulfilling as a brother. Hey, I am really ashamed of the emperor, Daqin, and my ancestors of the Meng family. "

Seeing Meng Yi's miserable expression, everyone couldn't bear it. Zhou Xing was about to speak to comfort him, but a man strode in. Before he got there, he said loudly: "Generals, let's follow the dragon and go up to the city to have a look. , the Huns actually stationed on the edge of the city, and it seems that they are planning to surround me in Yunzhong." The person who came was Long Qie. Familiar, secondly, many soldiers need to be arranged and suppressed by one person when entering the city, so he did not drink in the hall with Han Xin and others, but was busy around.After he settled all the soldiers, he received a report from the soldiers at the top of the city, saying that the Huns outside the city had actually settled down the camp.Hearing this, he hurried to the lobby to meet Han Xin and the others. After all, in terms of status, Zhou Xingha is the guard of Yunzhong County, and he has the power to deal with everything, and Han Xin is his chief general, so he Only came.

Hearing Long Qi's words, all four of them stood up at the same time, Zhou Xing said anxiously: "Is this really true? Let's go to the top of the city to find out."

But Han Xin's heart ignited anger: "I can't imagine that the Huns really think that we are already the ones who fight back? They dare to camp outside the city. Don't they still want to rely on this force to attack the city?" This time I must let these Huns know how powerful I am, Han Xin. Even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu known as the enemy, and his army of more than [-] were wiped out by us. What's the matter?"

While thinking about it, everyone followed the dragon to the top of the city.

And the Bai Ban outside the city also looked coldly at the big flag with the characters of Qin on the top of the city, and swore in his heart: "I will definitely mess up the world in the Central Plains, and ask you to help Sufa to be the master of the Great Qin with peace of mind!"
