Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 90

In the west of the grassland, a large tribe.With the sound of hurried footsteps, a Hun quickly ran to a room, holding a roll of bamboo slips in both hands, and handed it to the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat: "Report to the governor, and the household is urgent."

"Eastern Hu army raid".The governor of the Xiongnu opened the bamboo slips and was shocked when he looked carefully.

There was another sound of footsteps, and a Hun soldier bowed and saluted: "The governor and the big household lost [-] soldiers. Now the large tribes in the south are surrounded by the Donghu army, and the situation is in dire straits."

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Donghu's army".The governor of the Xiongnu hurriedly asked.

The Xiongnu soldiers thought for a long time and looked at the governor: "No less than [-] troops."

"Seventy thousand".The governor of the Xiongnu weighed in his heart that there should be [-] people in the Dadanghusuo, and the large tribes in the south cannot afford to lose, so they should send troops to rescue quickly at this time.

Seeing the governor pondering, all the generals in the room spoke up one after another.

"If the large tribe in the south is lost, it will open up to the hinterland of the grassland in the middle of our tribe."

"Looking at the actions of these enemy troops, it should be a plan to cut off food. In this way, we cut off our army's food supply, making the army of King Youxian in the north fall into the predicament of food shortage."

"The governor and our army should send troops to rescue immediately."

The governor of the Huns glanced at the people in the house: "Rescue is to be rescued, but how should our army go to rescue, and how many soldiers and horses should be sent."

"The last general thinks that it can't be less than [-], otherwise it won't help."A Hun general stood up from his seat and saluted the governor.

The governor of the Xiongnu looked at the general: "If Donghu sends two armies, one to attack the large tribes in the south, and at the same time send one from the east directly to the west, what can I do?"

"Great governor Mingjian, according to the information our army has inquired about, Donghu's army in the rear is only 15 soldiers and horses. Even if they send a large army to attack, aren't they afraid that our army will do the same?"The general asked back.

As soon as the words fell, the generals talked a lot: "This statement is reasonable. There are [-] Donghu soldiers who besieged Da Danghu, but before the siege, Donghu wiped out [-] troops of Da Danghu. The strength of the troops should not be less than one hundred thousand."

"It is impossible not to stay in the rear of Donghu to prevent changes in the northern battlefield."

"The front line between our clan and Donghu is too long. If the grain road is not guarded by troops, there will be big problems."

"Even if there are changes, our army only needs to leave [-] soldiers to deal with any unexpected changes."

The governor of the Xiongnu listened to the generals' arguments and kept weighing in his heart. He felt that what the generals said was reasonable: "Send [-] troops to ask for help, can you defeat the Donghu soldiers in one fell swoop."

"Da Danghu's [-] soldiers and horses are guarding the tribe's garrison, and the Donghu people's fierce attack is not easy to capture. If the governor leads a large army to rescue, he can find a way to send people to pass through the Donghu defense line secretly. Meet with Da Danghu and let's go together If you attack the soldiers and horses of Donghu, a big victory is just around the corner."The general talked eloquently, and the rest of the generals in the room nodded in agreement.

The governor of the Xiongnu was persuaded and glanced at the generals: "If our army leaves [-] troops to defend, how will you defend?"

"There are [-] people who stock up on food, and [-] soldiers are stationed in the tribe."A general stood up and saluted the governor.

The governor of the Xiongnu looked at the general who stood up, and asked him for a while: "Why is the Marquis of Gudu so stationed?"

"If the enemy army comes, it will definitely attack the tribal garrison, but the place where food is stored must be guarded."Guduhou explained to the governor of the Xiongnu.

All the generals looked at each other, their eyes were full of disbelief, and they all questioned: "The place where the grain is stored is extremely secret, and it is impossible for Donghu people to detect it."

"If there is an attack by the Donghu army, [-] soldiers and horses will not be enough. At this time, dividing the troops to garrison will be harmful but not beneficial."

"The best way is to combine the forces in one place. After the general governor and the big household have defeated the Donghu army who invaded the south of me, they will send troops to help, and the overall situation will be settled."

"Once the two Donghu armies are defeated, our department only needs to divide an army. It can go to the east and cut off the Donghu grain road in one fell swoop. At that time, the central grassland will definitely belong to our Xiongnu."

Hearing these voices of doubt, Marquis Gudu shook his head slightly: "Be prepared, even if the Donghu army comes to attack, it will be more beneficial than harmful for our army to separate a garrison of food and grass. When both sides are exhausted, send troops from the place where the grain is stored to attack between the two armies." , Maybe the Donghu can be defeated without the return of the governor. At that time, our army can also go to the south to reinforce the governor. Or directly send troops to the east and attack the hinterland of the Donghu in the central grassland."

"It's not bad to garrison troops in the place where food is stored, and the tribal garrison to be horns of each other."The governor of the Xiongnu nodded again and again, and Gu Duhou's idea was very meritorious.

A general couldn't help interjecting and asked: "Great Governor, do we need to report this matter to King Youxian?"

"Youxian King is fighting with the main force of Donghu in the north. Since there are us here, why should You Xianwang be distracted?".The governor of the Xiongnu asked back, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.Reporting to Youxian King to ask for reinforcements, isn't this just changing the shape and saying that he is incompetent and not optimistic about this battle? .

Seeing that the governor of the Xiongnu was displeased, the general smiled sarcastically: "What the governor taught is that these Donghu people are just clowns, so how can they disturb the Youxian King's elegance."

"Our [-]-strong army, together with Dadanghu's troops, why be afraid of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in this mere area."All the generals flattered them one after another.

"I also ask the governor to let the last general be the vanguard, and he will surely defeat the Donghu soldiers who invaded from the south."

"Our army is [-], and we are attacking from both inside and outside. How can Donghu be undefeated?"

"Please order from the governor, let me wait as the vanguard."

Hearing the words of asking for a fight, a trace of displeasure appeared on the face of the Hun chieftain: "You wait for a fight, but who wants to stay behind?"

All the generals looked at each other without saying a word.Everyone is brave enough to fight the enemy and make contributions, but if you want to say that staying behind and suffering a loss is not good, who would be willing to accept it.

"Who wants to stay behind?"The governor of the Xiongnu asked again, with a hint of anger gradually growing in his tone.

A general looked carefully at the governor of the Xiongnu: "The governor is not that we are unwilling to stay behind, but that those who stay behind may not be able to kill the enemy."

"You can predict that Donghu won't come to attack?"The governor of the Huns laughed angrily.

The generals looked at each other and quickly explained: "The Donghu army has only 15 troops, how could they come out in full force, and going to the south for rescue must be a victory...".

"Enough, one by one, for fear of falling behind. Let you stay behind, but you are so evasive."The governor of the Xiongnu couldn't hold back his anger any longer. He might not know the virtues of the generals under him.

Seeing this, the Marquis of Gudu sighed in his heart, and bowed to the governor of the Xiongnu: "Governor, since all the generals want to go to battle to kill the enemy. I am not talented, so I am willing to stay behind for the governor."

"Okay, I will order your troops to station in the rear. The rest of the generals will lead the army to the south to support."Hearing Guduhou's words, the governor's anger gradually disappeared, and he ordered immediately as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word.

All the generals breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Guduhou gratefully, and then saluted the governor: "Accept orders."

As soon as the words fell, everyone filed out.Not long after the long horn sounded, the governor led the army and galloped to the south.
