Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 332
Now Ziying can go in two directions, north and south.

However, no matter how you look at it, neither orientation is a suitable choice.

In the south, although Ziying's strategy has surpassed the half-day journey of Morton's army responsible for intercepting it, even if it can successfully avoid the army south of Morton at this moment, there is still a more terrifying opponent in this position-the Xiongnu Zuo virtuous king.

King Zuo Xian ranked first among the kings of the Huns. This does not only refer to his status, but King Zuo Xian possesses power second only to Shan Yu Wang Ting.

The location of Zuo Xianwang's territory is not only confronting Yanmen, Yunzhong and other counties of Daqin to the south, but also can provide reinforcements in the shortest time when Zuoda is in a disadvantageous position against Donghu.

In later generations, King Zuoxian even gradually became the exclusive title of the prince of the Huns.

But at this time, because of the dangerous location of King Zuoxian's territory, except King Zuoxian himself led two thousand cavalry to Jiuyuan, all other troops were still in the tribe.

And Ziying is not like Zuo Dawang's territory, he has a detailed map of Zuo Xianwang's territory, if he plunges into it, he might really die.

The only direction left is north.

——Desert.

It's just that there is one more thing that needs to be done before leaving.

……

King Zuoguli's court.

After Ziying left, the nobles who narrowly escaped looked at the royal court that had been burned into ruins, some couldn't believe their eyes.

In just a few hours, they can be said to have experienced the transformation from heaven to hell.

In the morning, they were still high-ranking nobles and royal families in the royal court, and they were served by female slaves for basic necessities of life.

However, in a blink of an eye, everything was gone, and even the royal court they were proud of was burned to ruins.

Some women couldn't help holding their young children and crying loudly.

"Where did this Qin army come from!" An old Huns roared angrily.

This is the hinterland of the Huns. It stands to reason that there are barriers from various tribes of the Huns. Where did this Qin army come from?
This question is almost a common doubt of all the surviving Huns in the court of King Zuoguli.

"Ahem... I probably know something about this." At this moment, an old voice sounded from the crowd.

When everyone was wondering, this sound was so abrupt and eye-catching.

Everyone fixed their eyes and saw that the person who spoke was the nobleman of the clan——Moulte.

Although Moerte lacks in military strength, he can be said to be the most intelligent wise man in the entire Zuogu Liwang tribe.

The foreign exchanges of the entire tribe and the contacts with the merchants in the Southland are all handled by him.

It can be said that they are highly respected in the tribe.

His words naturally drew everyone's attention to him.

"Your Majesty Molt, you said you know where this Qin army came from?"

The rest hurriedly asked.

Molt coughed again and said: "The Qin people thought that I couldn't understand their language, and they didn't deliberately avoid me when talking about some things, but they didn't know that I was very proficient in the language of the Nan people. .

When escorting us, I heard two Qin soldiers carefully discussing..."

Molt explained in detail what he heard to the Huns.

After listening to Moerte's words, all the Huns stared wide-eyed, staring at Moerte blankly.

This news is too explosive.

Who is Moton?That was the prince of the Huns.

He said that he allowed the Qin army to destroy a royal court and kill all the old and weak women and children in the royal court just to fight for power and weaken his brother's potential support.

It's really unbelievable.

"This matter should be sent to King Zuoguli first, and the king will decide." The person who spoke was Mo Sang, a nobleman from the tribe of King Zuoguli, whose status was equivalent to Limo of Shanyu Wangting.

"Prince, all of us are old and weak, women and children, and we can't bear to drive, so we ask the crown prince to go to the front line and report to the king." Morsan continued.

King Zuoguli led the elites of the tribe away, and his crown prince Moza was left to guard the tribe, but Moza was captured by the Qin army before he had time to gather the few guards.

Because of his royal status, he escaped with his life.

Among all the people who survived by chance, he is the only one who is young and strong.

Moza didn't shirk, and immediately complied, stepped on the steed at the request of the tribesmen, and galloped towards the east.

Before leaving, Morsan also carefully instructed Moza to avoid Maodu's army as much as possible. After all, Maodu can be said to be the suspect who drove Qin's army at this time.

It has to be said that Ziying was more kind to the Zuogu Liwang tribe. Not only did the scope of letting go expand, but he also left behind several horses to facilitate their reporting.

What the surviving Huns didn't expect was that just after Moza left for a while, a scout from the Qin army who was hiding nearby also left immediately.

"Your Majesty, the messenger from the Huns has left and is heading east."

The object of the scout's return was naturally Ziying who had just returned to the vicinity of the royal court.

Hearing the scout's report, Ziying unconsciously showed a smile.

Things have gone in the direction he expected.

Mouton, I hope you like the gift I prepared for you.

Not long after Moza left, death came again just as Morsan directed the people to save themselves.

Qin Jun, who had just left, turned back again.

But this time, the Qin army was no longer merciful to them, and all the old and weak, women and children, including the children of the royal family, were wiped out.

And this is the gift that Ziying prepared for Maodun. The previous conversation that Maodun drove the Qin army to pacify King Zuoguli's court and gave them the detailed map of Zuoda Danghu's tribe has already planted doubts in the hearts of these Huns. Seed.

The person who reported to King Zuoguli had no reason not to convey the current situation of the royal court and these suspicions to King Zuoguli.

In the message he conveyed, the royal court was not completely destroyed, at least the relatives of King Zuoguli were still alive, which was also consistent with what happened to Shanyu Wangting.

However, Ziying returned the carbine and killed all the people. By then, there would be no one left when the news was sent back through Maodun.

The news sent back by his own clan must be reliable, and the fact that the messenger is still alive proves that the Qin people did not kill them all.

However, if the news sent back by Maodun is that all the clan members have been wiped out, then there must be someone else who did such a thing.

As for the nearby army, apart from the Qin army, it was Maodun's army, and the murderer King Zuoguli would definitely think of Maodun.

Coupled with the suspicion from the tribe that Maodun drove the Qin army to attack his royal court, the original suspicion can be settled.

Moreover, it was a fact that Maodun drove the Qin army to attack King Zuoguli's court. If King Zuoguli had the heart to try to find out the route of Maodun's army in the past few days, he would find out.

In the past few days, Morton's army searched for traces of the Qin army in all directions, and the only direction they missed was facing the direction of their royal court.
