Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 95

The sound of gold ringing in the north of the central grassland resounded across the sky, and the soldiers from both sides, led by their respective generals, returned to their camps one after another.The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted the discussion in the tent of King Youxian of the Huns.A Xiongnu soldier knelt down on the ground: "Reporting to Youxian King, Donghu suddenly sent troops from the south to attack the hinterland of our central grassland. Because Hou Lanzhengqing, the bone capital, defected, our two large tribal settlements in the south and west of the central grassland have already fallen. into the hands of the Donghu people".

"The south and west of the central grassland fell into the hands of the Donghu people? Lan Zhengqing, the king, wants to crush you."The Youxian King of the Huns showed a trace of surprise, and then immediately reacted, a trace of anger spread in his heart.

Seeing that King Youxian was furious, a nobleman of the Xiongnu quickly asked for orders: "Lan Zhengqing is a collateral lineage of our Lan family. I would like to ask for orders. Lead my private soldiers of the Lan family to exterminate this back-bearer."

"Why bother Lan's move, I must be willing to be the pioneer."A sneer flickered on the corner of the mouth of a nobleman from the Xubu clan, and he pleaded for orders to King Youxian.

Hearing the tit-for-tat words of the two, King Youxian became even more depressed, and looked at the kneeling soldier: "How is the large northern tribe at this time?"

"It is still under the control of our family."The Xiongnu soldiers reported to Youxian King.

King Youxian breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the north is not lost and the grain road is not broken.As for the south and the west, as long as the Donghu army in front of you is wiped out, those are not a problem: "The current plan is to immediately send a large army to guard the large tribes in the north to ensure the safety of our army's food and roads. As for the suppression of the rebel general Lan Zhengqing, we can postpone it. ".

"King Zuoxian's words are justified. The last general asked to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to guard the large tribes in the north to ensure that our army's food supply is not lost."General Zuo of the Xiongnu stood up and begged King Youxian for orders.

King Youxian looked at his confidant Aijiang and shook his head slightly, then turned his gaze to the kneeling Hun soldier again: "How many Donghu soldiers and horses have invaded the hinterland of the grassland in the middle of our family?"

"Including Hou Lanzhengqing's subordinates in the bone capital, there should be no less than [-] people."The Xiongnu soldiers obviously had inquired clearly before they came, and they immediately answered when they heard King Youxian's inquiry.

As soon as the voice was settled, the nobles and generals in the tent started talking.

"There are more than [-] Donghu troops here, and our army is under great pressure. If we forcefully divide our troops at this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist."

"But the Donghu people sent troops, and they have already entered the hinterland of the grassland in the middle of our family. The food road is under threat, so we have to divide our troops to support."

"Divide the troops? If we divide too much, it is difficult for our army to resist the Donghu army on the opposite side. If we divide too little, it will not help. This is a dilemma, so what can we do?"

"At least 34 troops are needed to garrison the large tribes in the north to ensure the safety of food roads. But in this way, how can we resist the Donghu army on the opposite side with only [-] troops?"

"I can't be stationed. I should take the initiative to attack and destroy the Donghu soldiers who invaded my hinterland. It may be feasible to return in time."

Listening to the rumors, the disciples of the Xubu clan who were sitting next to nobleman Xubu couldn't help but sneer: "It's a pity that some of the dignified Lan clan's sons turned against each other. Today is really an eye-opener for us."

"Don't you, the Xubu clan, have any people who defected to the enemy? I heard that there are children of your Xubu clan who were involved in the Ding Ling rebellion."The noble children of the Lan clan who were sitting on the seats couldn't sit still, they stood up one after another and questioned those members of the Xubu clan loudly.

The children of the Xubu clan were furious and stood up one after another: "I think it's your Lan clan who spewed blood and framed them."

"If you have no shame in your heart, why do you need to quibble."

"you……".

Watching the quarrel between the two giants, a famous general remained silent for fear of getting into trouble.King You Xian frowned gradually, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed: "Enough is enough, the people of our clan should work together to tide over the difficulties when the enemy is at hand, what's the point of arguing?"

"We are guilty, please punish the right king."Seeing that Youxian King was angry, the children of the two wealthy families hurriedly bowed to plead guilty.

Seeing their pleading guilty, King Youxian slightly suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned his eyes to General Zuo: "If the king orders you to go and destroy the Donghu army that invaded the hinterland of our central grassland, how many soldiers and horses do you need?"

"The Donghu army has at least [-] people. If you want to wipe them out, you will need at least [-]. But if you refuse to defend large tribal garrisons, you will only need [-] to ensure that the food road is not lost."General Zuo of the Xiongnu silently calculated in his heart, and told King Youxian the number of soldiers and horses he expected.

King You Xian pondered, appearing a little hesitant.On the one hand, fifty thousand soldiers and horses stand firm, and on the other hand, a hundred thousand troops encircle and suppress. It is a bit difficult to make a choice for the situation we are facing at this time.

Seeing the hesitant look on Youxian King's face, the nobleman of the Lan family stood up from his seat and saluted respectfully: "Since it is my Lan family's children who turned their backs and destroyed the army left behind, my Lan family should bear part of the responsibility. So wait for this discussion." After the end, I will send people back home and ask them to send [-] private soldiers to support."

"Even if you, the Lan family, still have some backbone, you know the reason why you should settle your troubles by yourself."The nobleman of the Xubu family deliberately provoked the general, which can weaken the old opponent, and it is good to have some strength in his hands.

The nobleman of the Lan family bowed his hands to the nobleman of the Xubu family: "I, the Lan family, dare to act boldly at any time, unlike some people."

"Where did the fifty thousand private soldiers come from?".Seeing the tendency of the two noblemen to quarrel again, King Youxian felt a headache and hurriedly asked.However, there is a glimmer of hope for the [-] private soldiers.

The nobleman of the Lan family pondered: "Most of the main force of our family has been transferred back to the royal court, so we can only send private soldiers from the west."

"No, not to mention that Wang Ting and Ding Ling are fighting, just say that the time is not urgent."King You Xian hurriedly stopped, after all, far water can hardly quench near thirst.

Thinking of the current situation, the nobleman of the Lan family sighed: "My private soldiers of the Lan family have long obeyed Shanyu's order to go to the royal court. At this time, there are no private soldiers in the central grassland to transfer."

"The Lan family has this heart and the heart of the king. As for the words of dispatching private soldiers, please take it back."The hope that had just risen in King Youxian's heart disappeared immediately.

Mr. Xu Bu looked at Mr. Lan's and said deliberately: "Could it be that some people know that they will not transfer troops from the western grasslands, so they say that on purpose."

"That's the end of this matter, please be careful about your words, Mr. Xubu."King You Xian hurriedly smoothed things over, and if they continue to make trouble like this, he is afraid that this time they will break up unhappy.

Mr. Xubu bowed to King Youxian, and sat down with all the disciples of the Xubu family: "Master Xubu will remember the words of King Youxian."

"General Zuo, [-] soldiers and horses, I can't give you at this time. I can only give you [-] troops to garrison the large tribes in the north to ensure that our army's food supply is not lost."Seeing the disappearance of the two great families, King Youxian immediately looked at General Zuo.

Zuo Dajun bowed and saluted: "The last general obeys the order, the tribe's garrison is there, the people are there, the tribe's garrison is lost, the people are dead, and the food road is lost."

"Okay, order troops to garrison immediately."King Youxian was greatly moved and ordered immediately.

The left army bowed, turned around and walked out of the tent. After a long time, a long horn sounded, bringing the army to gallop towards the northern garrison.
