Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 428 The Soldier Without Fighting

Gu Shemi observed the situation on the battlefield, his eyes filled with coldness.

Even now, he still feels extremely heartbroken!

Of the [-] slaves sent out, most of them had already been killed or injured.Even if he didn't care about the slaves, losing so much property all at once was unacceptable to Bone Luxuan.

At this time, the bones are extravagant, and he has already started to think about the conditions just now in his mind!

Gu Shemi knew very well that if the Zhelan tribe persisted like this, they might not escape the end of being wiped out by the Xiongnu tribe in the end.

However, Gu Luxuan still hesitated at this time.

To him, it was nothing to lead his tribe to surrender. The so-called loyalty on the grassland can only be dedicated to the strong.

Follow whoever is strong, this is the iron law!

All, surrender, even for tribes like Gu Shemi, there is no psychological pressure at all.

The only thing worth considering is, after surrendering, what benefits will he get from Gu Luxuan, and what benefits will the Zhelan tribe get.

At this moment, a cavalryman hurriedly came to Gu Shemi from the rear, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the big thing is not good."

"Three thousand cavalry from the Xiongnu tribe raided our Zhelan camp, please return to help the king quickly."

"What?" Gu Shemi's eyes widened at this time, and he couldn't believe it at all, but since it was reported from the rear, how could such news be false?

More importantly, he mobilized all the cavalry of the Zhelan tribe here to fight against the Huns.

At this time, the camp of the Zhelan tribe was extremely weak. Not to mention three thousand cavalry, even one thousand cavalry was more than enough to deal with the old, weak, sick and disabled left behind in the tribe.

However, Gu Shemi also understands that at this juncture, it is simply impossible to return for help.

The Xiongnu army on the opposite side was not an idiot, as long as they noticed that Zhelan's cavalry was about to retreat, they would try their best to tear off a piece of flesh and blood from Zhelan's tribe.

What's more, once the Huns cavalry were chasing after them, it would be a nightmare for the retreating Zhelan cavalry.

Just constant harassment is enough to overwhelm the Zhelan cavalry.

Unless the Huns on the opposite side take the initiative to retreat, is this situation possible?

But at this moment, Gu Shemi found inexplicably that the Hun army on the opposite side was really retreating slowly, and Gu Shemi looked at all this with disbelief.

All the nobles of the Zhelan tribe rubbed their eyes at the scene in front of them, completely disbelieving the scene in front of them.

Leaving aside the matter of the Xiongnu army attacking the camp, even in the few fights just now, the Zhelan tribe has never gained the upper hand.

Everyone was puzzled by the actions of the Xiongnu army in front of them. Gu Shemi thought of the Shanyu who had just succeeded the Huns, and he didn't understand what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

At this moment, a flying cavalry from the Huns army came over, stood on the horse and said, "King Zhelan, Gutu wants me to tell you that King Zhelan must have got the news that three thousand cavalry from our Huns have rushed to attack you. The big camp of the Lan tribe, tomorrow I will support you and invite you to come here to discuss business again, today my Hun army retreated ten miles to show my sincerity."

"Tomorrow, no matter what the outcome is, I will return everything captured by our Hun army today. If King Zhelan insists on fighting against our Hun, then we will fight to the death on this grassland!"

"The words have been brought, how to make a decision depends entirely on King Zhelan." The cavalry turned around and left immediately, simply and decisively.

"Who is that person?" King Zhelan couldn't help asking around, Gu Shemi felt that the figure in front of him was somewhat familiar.

"It's Zuo Tuqi King Ji Fu of the Huns, the son of Mao Dun." At this time, a Zhelan nobleman replied.

He was too impressed with the young man in front of him, but he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was quite good at leading the army.

Just now, it was the young man in front of them who made them suffer a lot.

Now, he is even more brave, and he dares to come to the front of the two armies to speak up alone, without any sign of timidity.

Such courage at such an age has already made many people in the Zhelan tribe admire him.On the prairie, the most admired are the brave and skilled warriors. Although Ji Fu is young, he has already conquered the hearts of many people.

…………

As night fell, the Xiongnu's camp was full of joy. In today's confrontation with the Zhelan tribe, the Xiongnu still had the upper hand in the final analysis, which made many Xiongnu nobles feel excited.

You know, when Touman was in Shanyu, how could the Xiongnu have such a scene?
Don't say that you won't be defeated in a head-on fight with the Zhelan tribe, I'm afraid that at that time, you don't even have the courage to fight against the Zhelan tribe.

One must know that the great reputation of the Zhelan tribe was built up one after another. Under the butcher knife of the Zhelan tribe, there are already countless tribes, and none of them are left dead.

Being able to take advantage of the vicious Zhelan tribe on the grassland is already a very satisfying thing!

The only fly in the ointment is that they all don't understand that their side is in full swing, but Mao Dun suddenly ordered the withdrawal of troops.

"Father, if I, the Xiongnu, attacked from all fronts today, the Zhelan tribe would definitely be defeated. Why did father withdraw his troops?" Ji Yan, the son of Maodun, was also a little confused.

However, he knew that his father must have a reason for doing so.

All along, his father has never missed it.

Mao Dun smiled slightly and said, "Ji Feng, have you heard of such a sentence?"

"In any method of employing troops, the whole country is the top priority, followed by the destruction of the country; the whole army is the top priority, followed by the destruction of the army; Breaking through the army is the next best thing. That’s why a hundred battles are victorious, and it is not a good man who is good; and a good man who defeats others without fighting is a good man.”

Ji Yan looked at Maodun suspiciously, it seemed that only the Qin Dynasty people in the south had this kind of words.

Mao Dun explained: "This is the art of war of the people of the Qin Dynasty in the south. I only got a few words from Di Wen. After thinking about it carefully, it becomes more and more reasonable."

"Di Wen?" Ji Feng suddenly realized, speaking of it, this person was brought back by Baxiulie, but he was never taken seriously by Touman, and his father never entrusted him with important tasks when he succeeded to the throne.

It's just that he is called to the military tent from time to time to ask about the situation of the Qin Dynasty people in the south.

And Mao Dun continued: "The Zhelan tribe is famous on the grassland. Since the Zhelan tribe can submit to Donghu's feet, isn't it possible that they can't be used by my great Xiongnu?"

"If the Zhelan tribe is used by our Xiongnu, in the future our Xiongnu will fight north and south, and we will have an extra sharp knife. How can the enemy we encounter be the enemy of our great Xiongnu?"
