Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 526
After learning that Great Qin had already attacked Chu State with all its strength, the Chu army only briefly repaired in Qi State for a day, and then rushed towards the south without stopping.

And Yingbu, who stayed in Qi State, also followed Xiang Yu's instructions, and was doing his best to wipe out the remnants of Qi State led by Tian Heng.

It's just that during this process, the generals in the army, large and small, all Xiang Yu's direct descendants and even those who were born in Jiangdong began to be marginalized for various reasons, and were even accused of being unfavorable in combat.

The replacements were all the old subordinates of Yingbo. If this continues, I am afraid that it will not take long for this army to become an army loyal to Yingbo.

……

At the same time, on Ziying's side, the main generals of the Qin army and some civil officials who followed came to the temporary meeting hall together.

Although Xiang Yu has already returned to the army, the battle with Chu State is under the command of Han Xin, so there is no need for Ziying to worry about it.

This time Ziying called all the people here because of the powerful enemy in the north - the Huns.

Since Ziying came back from Donghu, he has been sending people to pay close attention to the situation on the grassland.

If Ziying's memory is correct, Maodun should be able to attack Donghu soon after, unify the entire northern grassland, and then go south to plunder and threaten the Central Plains.

In the early days of the Han Dynasty, they could only be forced to seek peace through humiliation.

As long as the Xiongnu did not completely wipe out the enemies on the grassland, they would not be able to concentrate all their forces to threaten Qin. Therefore, Ziying even ordered Zhang Han in Yandi to send troops to help Donghu if necessary, so that Donghu should not be attacked by the Xiongnu.

However, people are not as good as heaven, and Ziying didn't think that Donghu's armaments would be so ruined.

According to the information that Ziying inquired through Zhemu, after he rescued Lan Shuliu, Donghu immediately sent envoys to condemn the Huns, insisting that it was the Huns themselves who robbed Lan Shuliu back.

For this reason, Donghu not only asked the Xiongnu to enshrine the beauties of Baisemu to Donghu, but also asked the Xiongnu to cede the pastures of the Buer tribe to Donghu as compensation.

Some of the Xiongnu nobles thought that since the Chollima and the Yan family were both given away, a piece of pasture was given away, and those Semu people were just slaves, which is not worth mentioning.

However, after hearing such a proposal, Mao Dun killed all those who advocated ceding land to Donghu, and launched elite cavalry to attack Donghu.

In Jiuyuan, the army of the Qin army is eyeing, and the land of Yuezhi just occupied is not stable, so although the land of the Xiongnu is twice as large as before, there are not many troops that can be used.

The attack on Donghu only brought out 20 cavalry, which is not proportional to the nearly [-] cavalry of the Donghu people.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Xiongnu cavalry may not be the opponent of the Donghu cavalry at all.

However, the development of things was often unexpected. The Donghu people had no resistance at all when they encountered the Huns cavalry. In a few days, the Huns advanced to the vicinity of the Donghu royal court.

There are many reasons why the Donghu people are so invulnerable, including their own factors and the Xiongnu's factors.

As far as Donghu was concerned, the Xiongnu's attitude of giving away the Chollima and the Yan clan before made it impossible for Donghu to think that the Xiongnu would dare to attack him, so he was caught off guard.

How can the army fight against the Huns without gathering large and small tribes to fight on their own.

On the other hand, because of Donghu's rude demands on the Huns before, all the Hun warriors were suffocated, but this time the war against Donghu gave all the Hun warriors a way to vent.

The mourners will win!
After Zhang Han got the news that Donghu was at war with the Xiongnu, he immediately mobilized [-] cavalry to help Donghu when necessary according to Ziying's order. You can beat the Huns back.

However, only four days after receiving the news of the development of the two tribes, the second military report was that the Huns had arrived at the Donghu royal court.

The Donghu army broke up so quickly that it completely disrupted Zhang Han's position. You must know that Donghu's troops are stronger than the Xiongnu at this time, and both are nomads who grew up on horseback. The combat power should be almost the same. Who knew Donghu Jun would be so watery.

After hearing the news of Donghu's "blood collapse", Zhang Han immediately led [-] cavalry of the Qin Army to the north to the grassland, preparing to rescue the Donghu Royal Court. However, shortly after entering the grassland, he encountered the main force of the Huns led by Maodun.

It was also at this time that Zhang Han knew that the Donghu royal court had only lasted two days under the Huns' offensive before being breached.

What Zhang Han encountered was a 5 Hun cavalry led by Mao Dun himself.

Rao Zhang Han was also a famous general at that time, and the Qin army was also very brave, but the Huns are also holding the prestige of a great victory at this moment, and Mao Dun is the unborn king on the grassland.

After a bloody battle, Zhang Han just fled back to Yandi with more than a thousand cavalry of the Qin Army.

Fortunately, at this time, Mao Dun was busy sweeping away the remnants of Donghu, and did not take advantage of the situation to attack Yandi. However, according to Zhang Han's report, the frequency of Hun spies going south is getting higher and higher, and it is very likely that they are smoothing out Donghu's resistance. The power will then go south.

At the same time, Meng Tian, ​​who guarded Jiuyuan, also wrote a letter. During this period of time, the Xiongnu army has been mobilized frequently, and it is very likely that they will go south on a large scale.

Ziying can also guess one or two of Maodun's plan. I am afraid that it is very likely that the Xiongnu will go south to attack Daqin from both east and west routes in a short time.

Although they have just conquered the land of Yuezhi Kingdom and Donghu, they have not completely controlled it yet.

However, the Qin State at this time was in the middle of a civil war. If the Xiongnu and others took full control of the newly occupied land and then went south, I am afraid that the Qin State would have been reunified.

At that time, facing the Great Qin that can attack with all its strength, Maodun has no confidence in winning, because Qin's strength has been verified in previous wars.

Therefore, Ziying concluded that Maodun would definitely take advantage of the opportunity of the Qin army's two-front battle to send troops south, and the target was likely to be the Hetao area, the old land of the Huns, or the Yanbei Plain, which was always on the grassland.

In fact, not only Ziying, but all the civil and military officials of the Great Qin, after learning about the change in Donghu, thought that the Xiongnu would most likely take advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Great Qin to go south.

"Your Majesty, Xiang Yu has courage but no strategy, so it is difficult to accomplish anything. The barbarians on the grassland are indeed the trouble of our Great Qin. Not weak, for the time being, make a contract with the false Chuxu and the snake, and first mobilize troops to fight against the Huns." At this time, a minister came out. Say something.

No one could tell that there was no longer any waves coming from the state of Chu at this time, but it might take a long time to wipe out the state of Chu.

But the border troubles in the north are close at hand, Jiuyuan County guarded by Meng Tian is not a big problem, Meng Tian is a veteran general of the Qin army, and it doesn't matter if he has an army of [-].

The problem is that the border defenses of the Qin army of the Yanzhao generation are now extremely loose, and only the [-] Qin army led by Zhang Han is in Yandi.

However, the [-] Qin army was not strong enough to defend such a large border, and now it was less than [-], and most of the most mobile cavalry were useless.

For the grassland Rong people, Daqin has never underestimated them. You must know that the state of Zhou fell into a slump after the grassland people broke the capital and were forced to move the capital.
