Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 55: The Cunning Wang Jian

On the banks of the Xilamulun River, Huang Pi hurried back to Fusu's carriage and reported, "Your Majesty, I have already told Li Mu what you wanted. Li Mu has now led his soldiers to surrender!"

"You did a good job!" Fusu praised, "I will give you another task. Take your 100,000 men and escort all these captives to Mount Langjuxu and hand them over to Maodun for management. Do not abuse them on the way, and do not make sure they are short of food and clothing. In addition, the Xiongnu are short of food this year, so you will send them 10,000 cattle and 50,000 sheep."

"what!"

Huang Pi was stunned after hearing this. What did the Xiongnu's food shortage have to do with Dong Hu? Dong Hu was also short of food! And the two sides were old enemies.

"You're not happy?"

Fusu frowned and looked at Huang Xiong, and said in a deep voice.

"What the king meant is the code of conduct of our Donghu!" Huang Pi said quickly.

Even though he was extremely unwilling in his heart, he dared not go against Fusu's wishes, nor did he dare to show it.

Fusu: "Okay, I know you Donghu are also short of food. In two months at most, we will be able to get a large amount of food. I, the undead, don't need food. Are you afraid that there won't be enough food for you? Go and get things done quickly."

At the same time, in Qin State, Xianyang Palace.

The Donghu joined forces with the Shanrong and Zhao State and planned to attack the Mountains of the Dead from the northern grasslands. The information that Zhao State had sent out 100,000 troops and had already left Yanmen Pass was finally delivered to Zulong after more than half a month of transmission.

After reading the intelligence, Zulong was overjoyed and immediately ordered Wang Jian, who was stationed at Yiqu Pass, to send out 250,000 troops to attack the Mountains of the Dead.

Five days later, the order to go to war was delivered to Yiqiu Pass.

Wang Jian, who had already made preparations and assembled his troops, received the order and led 250,000 troops out of Yiqu Pass that day, entered the Hetao Plain, and headed straight for the Mountains of the Dead.
-
"It shouldn't be!"

On the Hetao Plain, among the marching Qin army, Wang Jian, who was riding on a horse, suddenly frowned and muttered to himself.

"Father, what shouldn't I do?"

Hearing Wang Jian's mumbling, Wang Ben next to him immediately looked at Wang Jian and asked in confusion.

"How many days have we been in the Hetao Plain?"

Wang Jian did not answer Wang Ben, but asked a question in return.

"It's been three days! The situation is indeed unreasonable!" Wang Ben replied immediately, and he frowned when talking about the time.

He began to understand what his father meant. Something was not right!
Yiqu Pass is a border pass, and the movements of Yiqu Pass will certainly be monitored by the undead at all times. The 250,000 troops entering the Hetao Plain from Yiqu Pass could not hide at all, and they did not hide.

But now their army has entered the Hetao Plain for three days. Nothing has happened along the way, and no undead have been found, not even a single person. However, they have seen many cattle, sheep and horses scattered on the grassland.

Seeing Wang Ben's expression, Wang Jian said solemnly: "The main force of the Undead, 1.4 million, is tied up in the Western Region, and the remaining Undead in the Undead Mountains are at most about 400,000.

Now the Donghu, Shanrong and Zhao in the north are jointly attacking, and the estimated force is more than 200,000. If the Xiongnu really rebel, another 100,000 troops will have to be sent. At this critical moment, the remaining troops in the Undead Mountain Range must be tight. "

"The Lich King certainly doesn't want to see Qin attack the Undead Mountains from the south, attacking him from both the north and the south."

"But now the Lich King has done nothing. He has neither sent troops to stop us nor sent envoys to negotiate."

Wang Ben speculated: "Father, could this be a trick to confuse the enemy?"

"I can't tell either! But there's an 80% chance that it's not the case!" Wang Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Eighty percent not?" Wang Ben was surprised. He quickly asked, "Father, why do you think so?" In his opinion, this situation was ninety percent likely to be a strategy to confuse the enemy, but in his father's opinion, it was eighty percent not a strategy to confuse the enemy.

Wang Jian explained solemnly: "First, it is no secret that the main force of the undead is in the Western Regions. Those Xiongnu hate the Lich King so much that they will not lie.

Second, the Lich King was powerful, and it was only a matter of time before he annexed the grassland. With the Xiongnu's previous experience, the Donghu had long been worried about their own safety and had begun to prepare for retreat. If the Undead Mountains were not really empty, the Donghu would not have dared to join forces with Shanrong and Zhao to attack the Undead Mountains.

Third, and most importantly, there is no need for the Lich King to use the strategy of confusing the enemy with a new one."

Wang Ben: "Because the situation has long been known to others, there is no point in using it, so why not just not use it!"

Wang Jian looked at Wang Ben speechlessly and said unhappily, "No, it's because using the strategy of confusing the enemy makes it more obvious that the Undead Mountain Range is undermanned, and it will be easier for the enemy to march straight in."

Wang Ben: "Then how do you think the Lich King will respond, father?"

Wang Jian pondered for a moment and said, "There are many canyons in the Undead Mountains. The Lich King is probably trying to gather his forces and rely on the terrain to block us and buy time for the main force from the Western Regions to come to rescue us."

Wang Ben: "In that case, should we speed up our march? While the enemy is not fully prepared."

"Snapped!"

Hearing this, Wang Jian was so angry that he slapped Wang Ben on the back of the head and cursed: "Why did I give birth to such a stupid son like you! All my military books have been read in vain!"

After cursing, Wang Jian still explained: "We will march normally. The undead are not easy to deal with. We also have the advantage of terrain. If we attack first, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties. We will wait for Donghu and Zhao to take action first to attract most of the enemies."
-
"Wang Ben is still a little young now, and he hasn't learned the art of deception thoroughly yet!"

"General Wang Jian is really a cunning man. I really used the strategy of confusing the enemy with a new one, but unfortunately he didn't fall for it!"

On the banks of the Xilamulun River, Fusu muttered to himself while eating roasted lamb legs.

Of course, Fusu's strategy of confusing the enemy was not to scare off the Qin army. The situation in the rumor was so obvious that Wang Jian could definitely see it.

Moreover, if you want to scare them away, there is no need for any trickery. You can just send a million or eight hundred thousand undead to stand somewhere, and they will have to go back obediently.

I want to lead them to advance recklessly.

Unfortunately, Wang Jian was not fooled and was ready to wait for the Donghu to attack first.

The 300,000 troops of Zhao State preparing to attack Qin State have not made any moves yet, but are waiting for the news that the main force of Qin State has been tied down by them!

Now he is staying here with 700,000 undead, waiting for Zhao to attack Qin!
Thinking of this, Fusu communicated directly with several high-level undead remaining in the Mountains of the Undead through the contract.

Wang Jian was cunning, but he had more plans than just one.

"Father, you just wait to pay the ransom! What should I ask for then?"

After giving the order, Fusu muttered to himself and continued to eat the roasted lamb leg in his hand.

Thinking of Zulong's gnashing teeth and his helpless look, Fusu felt happy in his heart, and the lamb leg in his hand tasted even more fragrant.

Zulong is my idol, and being angry with him makes me especially happy!

(PS: The Bankai arc is about to begin. Again, it was mentioned at the beginning that the protagonist can make firearms, but he just hasn't used them yet.)
