Qiang Qin

Updated: 2011-02-23

Excitedly, Long Qie and Zhang Han headed to the northern frontier with 5 horses. The two of them really needed a victory to prove their worth.Neither of them were generals who followed Fusu from Shangjun, not even Han Xinna. Compared with those generals who followed Fusu from a young age, the prestige in the natural law was compared.Long Qie didn't make any contribution since he surrendered to Fusu. He only fought with the Huns in Jiuyuan more than a year ago, and he didn't make any notable contribution. He made a mistake and lost several opportunities. It can be said that he was very eager to make meritorious service.

This time, the two were appointed by Fusu, and at the same time received face-to-face instructions from him. Knowing that this was an excellent opportunity given to them by the emperor, the two really wanted to annihilate the Huns who committed crimes in the future. Exhausted.After knowing that the Huns had captured Yanmen County, the two of them did not contact the guards of Jiuyuan and Yunzhong counties, and went straight to Yanmen with their troops.But when they arrived at Yanmen County, the city was already empty, not even a single Hun in the whole city was left, leaving only the corpses of soldiers and common people full of the city, as well as the ruins of a place.

Seeing this situation disappointed the two of them, but when Fusu ordered them to leave the army, he never let them go deep into the grasslands to find the whereabouts of the Huns, so they had to temporarily garrison in Yanmen County and sent scouts to scout around The whereabouts of the Huns, and at the same time sent people to Xianyang to report the incident to the imperial court, so that the emperor could decide what to do next, but at this time the Huns had retreated to the grassland under the leadership of Mao Dun.

When they stayed in Yanmen and waited to find out the whereabouts of the Huns or to get the approval of the imperial court to let them send troops to the grassland, Zidu and his group of hundreds of people had already returned to the Central Plains through Jiuyuan, and lost their friendship with them. Arm, if Zidu and others entered the Central Plains from Yanmen County, Zhang Han and Zhang Han would naturally know the location of the Huns from their mouths, and the two eager to make meritorious deeds might bring their troops to that place to confront each other. The Huns launched an attack. After all, Mao Dun and his troops were still close to the Central Plains at that time. It took them a day or two to catch up with them after leaving Yanmen County, but they were both in Yanmen County. One came back from Jiuyuan.Of course, Zhang Han and Long Qie didn't know about all this, and they were still quietly waiting for the news in the city.

On this day, when the two heard the report from the scouts who had gone hundreds of miles away that there was no trace of the Huns, they already knew that it was impossible for the Huns to appear here again.While the two of them were very frustrated, they also began to feel sorry for themselves. After sighing, Zhang Han said: "I didn't expect that it would be so difficult for the two of us to make a little contribution. Either we are inferior to the enemy in terms of military strength, or we want to fight the enemy like we are now." It’s really frustrating to think about it and not get it in one battle.”

Long Qie also said: "That's right, the Xiongnu took down this Yanmen County and left after only looting the food, grass and supplies, which is beyond my expectation. And the imperial court should have just received our report now, Presumably, the emperor will have to discuss with his ministers before deciding whether to send us into the grasslands of the Xiongnu like General Peng Zidu. By that time, even if the emperor agrees to our sending troops to the grasslands, the enemies of the Xiongnu have already returned to their own territory. It will not be so easy for us to deal with them." He finally said this because of the lessons learned from Zidu, even such an army that was caught by surprise and entered their hinterland without the Huns being prepared would be the last to be heard. In the situation where the Huns were already on guard, they couldn't get any cheap at all.

Zhang Han nodded solemnly: "It seems that the two of us can only return at the end and look at each other." The two looked at each other and became speechless again.Just when the two were disheartened, a soldier came to report that there was an envoy from Xianyang who was ordered by the emperor outside the city.The two stayed for a while, hurriedly arranged their clothes and went out to greet each other.

The envoy presented the imperial decree of Fusu, ordering the two to send troops to the Huns grassland immediately, to give the Huns a little strength.Both of them looked at the visitor very puzzled, and said, "My lord, do you have any other orders from the emperor? Today's Huns have returned to the depths of the grassland according to the two of us. Now we I'm afraid there is no chance of winning if we send troops into the grassland."

The man said: "Can the two generals evacuate all the people in the hall? I hope you two will forgive me. This is the emperor's special order when the villain left Xianyang. He said that this is the key to victory or defeat, and no one else can know it." , in case there are spies of the Huns.”

The two looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes, wondering what else the emperor could do to defeat the enemy.After hesitating for a while, the two ordered everyone in the hall to retreat, and then closed the door by themselves.After everything was over, Zhang Han came to the envoy and said, "Now, my lord, can you tell us what's going on?"

Nalai said quietly in a voice that only three people could hear: "General Peng Zidu has returned to Xianyang City from the Xiongnu Grassland, and he also brought back a very good news, that is, the Yuezhi Kingdom has agreed to fight against the Huns on our side." At that time, we attacked the Huns from behind and defeated the Huns with our front and back attack. Therefore, as long as the two generals join forces with the defenders of Yunzhong and Jiuyuan to attack the grassland, the moment of the Huns' defeat will be short. Not far away."

The two were pleasantly surprised when they heard this. They never thought that Zidu, whom they had always thought had been killed in battle, had come back alive, and brought back such great news.No wonder this person is so cautious and doesn't let others know about it. Obviously, the Yuezhi people don't have too many troops available. Only when the Huns are unprepared and focus on fighting the Qin army can they play a key role. Otherwise, the Huns The National People's Congress can send troops to the Yuezhi first, then there will be no front and back attack just mentioned.

Long Qie said: "It's so good, we're going to go on a long journey right away, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the defenders in Jiuyuan and Yunzhong can send to the grassland with us?"

The man said: "I don't know about this, but the emperor of the Xiongnu is determined to win this time, so the number of troops sent to the grassland will not be too small, it should be enough to wipe out the Huns."

In this way, the two of them became more confident. After arranging to come and go to rest, the two called all the generals under their command and told them about the upcoming dispatch of troops to the Huns. Of course, for the sake of safety, the two He didn't say anything about the fact that the Yuezhi people would also send troops to deal with the Huns.Therefore, some generals who understood the situation were puzzled, but because this was the intention of the court, Zhang Han and the two had already made a decision, and those generals couldn't say anything, so they could only go back to the camp to prepare.

Just when Yanmen County was in full swing preparing to kill the Huns on the grassland, Fusu in Xianyang City changed his mind.This is not because Fusu changed his order from day to night, but because Fusu forgot his previous established policy when he issued this order, that is, he should not wipe out the Huns, but should raise them in a timely manner when they are beaten to the ground. Peace talks, and then control the Huns through open trade on the border.

This idea was settled when Fusu sent Chao Ang as an envoy to the Yue clan, but after the Huns invaded the border again, killed many people in villages and towns and captured Yanmen County, Fusu was annoyed by him. Forget it.Then came the return of Zidu, and the matter he mentioned that he had reached an agreement with the Yuezhi people, which made Fusu completely forget his previous thoughts, and became focused on destroying the Xiongnu.

A few days after Fusu's imperial decree was communicated, Zhang Liang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and found Fusu after the court meeting on a certain day, and privately put forward his own views to him.Zhang Liang said: "Your Majesty, since we had no intention of annihilating the Huns by force, why have you changed your mind now?"

When Fusu was reminded by Zhang Liang, he suddenly remembered that he had had this idea before, and said apologetically, "I really forgot what I thought before, because those Huns were really deceiving people, and once again invaded our Central Plains, making my people Suffering catastrophe, as the lord of the world, I should avenge them. And this time the Yue family is willing to help us, and our chances of winning the grassland will be greatly increased. So there is no need to worry about the strategy we set before, we It should also be adaptable.”

Zhang Liangdao: "I have the guts to say that the emperor is wrong to think so. First, even if we join hands with the Yuezhi people, we may not be able to kill the Huns. After all, they are scattered in every corner of the grassland. Second, such a The casualties of the soldiers who came to our Great Qin will inevitably be huge, and the common people who have managed to live a stable life will have to worry about it again. Third, and the most important point, that is, the Yuezhi people are also foreigners after all. After the Huns were annihilated and dominated the grasslands, they would then become our enemies. At that time, our enemies were only changed from the Huns to the Yuezhi, which did not benefit us. Didn’t our soldiers sacrifice in vain? I hope the emperor will think twice!"

After Fusu heard these words, he also took it seriously, and couldn't help nodding his head: "What you said is somewhat reasonable." Although Fusu said so on the surface, in fact, Fusu had already approved Zhang Liang's point of view in his heart, He has never regarded the Yuezhi people as opponents, which was influenced by the history of "later generations", but now that history has changed, he is not sure whether the Yuezhi people in the future will be like the Yuezhi people in history. Generally, there is no serious conflict with the Central Plains people. I don't know if the Yuezhi will become another Huns. After all, they are also nomadic people like the Huns.

After thinking for a while, Fusu said: "Then according to Zifang, how should we deal with this battle?"
