Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 99
Thousands of miles to the north of Seoul, in the camp of the Donghu army, a Donghu man covered in blood hurriedly ran to the camp of the Chinese army: "I report to King Zuoxian that the large tribes in the east of our army were raided by an army of 30 Huns. Timelines have been truncated."

"Isn't your chief general saying that there are only 30 Huns soldiers and horses. You can completely stop them, so you don't need my king to send troops to support?"Donghu Zuoxian King didn't get angry immediately, but asked patiently.The 15 soldiers and horses stationed in the large tribe of Donghu are Shan Yu's direct lineage and self-contained system.On the one hand, stationing in the rear ensures the grain road, and on the other hand, it is not monitoring itself.When the 30 Hun army came to attack, the general in the rear was afraid that he would take the opportunity to seize military power, so he politely refused.Otherwise, why would such a disaster happen.

The Donghu man was speechless, and just bowed down deeply: "My chief is deeply guilty of the crime, and has already killed himself. Please also ask Zuo Xianwang to see that this matter is related to the rise and fall of our family, Regardless of past suspicions, quickly dispatch troops to retake the food road."

"Even if you don't say it, it's about the life and death of my [-]-strong army, and this king will naturally do it."King Zuoxian of Donghu couldn't hold back his anger any longer, and slapped the table heavily: "Quickly retreat, this king wants to discuss military affairs with Zhang Zhongwu."

"Follow orders".The Donghu man quickly saluted, turned around and walked outside the tent.

Seeing the man walking away, the Chinese and Wu in the account talked one after another, and their voices gradually became louder without knowing it.

"Some time ago, the Xiongnu suddenly divided their troops by [-] for some reason, and the gap between their strength and our army gradually widened. Seeing that they could go all out and defeat the Huns to occupy the grassland. But I never expected that the grain road in the rear was cut off. It's really infuriating to think."

"It's God's will to do so. You and I can afford to offend Shan Yu's direct lineage. It's just a pity that this was a waste of time. This is a god-sent opportunity."

"At this time, the Huns' army was less than 40. It is a pity that our army is about to run out of food. At this time, there is no other way but to return to the army to retake the tribe."

"These Shanyu direct lineages seem to want to destroy my Zuo Xian royal lineage, otherwise why didn't our army be allowed to send troops to support them at the beginning."

Seeing Zhang Wenwu indignantly, King Zuoxian poured a cup of wine, and then drank it all in one gulp: "We belong to the same clan, so don't be suspicious at this time when the enemy is in front of you."

"Respectfully follow the orders of Zuo Xianwang".Wu Wenwu in the tent saluted Zuoxian King of Donghu, and then there was silence in the tent.

King Zuoxian of Donghu glanced at the people in the tent: "The most urgent task is to determine the next step of our army and how to act."

"In the past, there was the army of King Youxian of the Huns, but now they have less than 40 troops. At the rear, the Huns have 30 soldiers and horses. Although they have already captured the tribe, the Shanyu's direct lineage is not a lie. His troops are very elite. The minister is determined Those Xiongnu soldiers and horses must have suffered heavy losses, and when the army returns to the division, it will be easy to retake the tribe and clear the food road."A Donghu man dressed as a civil servant stood up from his seat and talked to Zuo Xianwang.

King Zuoxian of Donghu nodded frequently: "The analysis is reasonable, but at this time, should our army defeat the troops of King Youxian of the Huns first. Or should we return to the army to retake the tribe and dredge the food roads."

"The minister thinks how to make a choice does not lie in our army."When the East Hu civil official said this, he sold a pass.

Donghu Youxian King was puzzled, and all the civil and military personnel were also greatly puzzled, with a trace of doubt in their eyes.

"Why can't our army decide on its own?".

"Joke, our army can't make a decision on its own, who else can help me make a decision."

"Could there really be other factors."

Hearing everyone's discussion, the civil servant saluted the Zuoxian King of Donghu, and then asked: "Can the Xianwang use our army's strength to defeat the Xiongnu Youxian King's army? Can our army return to the army and take back the tribe?" The resident restores the smooth flow of grain roads."

"Whether it is to defeat the Youxian King of the Huns forward, or to recapture the tribe in the future, these two things can be done with our army strength."Donghu Zuoxian King's tone was exceptionally firm, full of confidence in these two matters.

The civil official smiled and asked again: "If the virtuous king divides his troops and simultaneously attacks the troops of the Xiongnu Youxian king in front, and returns the army to retake the tribe, can it be done again?"

"this……".Donghu Zuoxian Wang was speechless, and then smiled sarcastically.

The civil servant understood, and explained for Donghu Zuo Xianwang: "It is not feasible to divide the army into two. It's just that the officials don't know if the Xianwang has thought about it. To defeat the Xiongnu Youxian King's troops, our army will go further with the current progress. how long it takes".

"It's half a year if it's fast, and it's unknown if it's several years if it's slow."King Zuo Xian of Donghu replied truthfully, of course, this was because Shan Yu did not send additional reinforcements.

When the civil servant heard the answer, he continued to ask: "What if the Hui army retakes the tribal garrison and restores the grain road?".

"One hit can break".Dong Hu subconsciously blurted out, but hesitated after speaking.After leading the army by himself, he managed to gain a certain advantage, but he was still a bit reluctant to give up at this time.

Seeing the reluctance of the Zuoxian King of Donghu, the civil servant asked again: "I don't know if the Xianwang has thought about how much food and grass our army still has at this time."

"Liangcao, this king has never thought about it."King Zuoxian of Donghu instantly understood the intention of the civil servants. It turned out that he was euphemistically persuading him to return to the army. Thinking of this, he looked around Zhang Wenwu: "How much food and grass do we have at this time?"

"I report to the virtuous king that it will be liquidated at the end. The current stock of grain and grass can only last for half a month."A Donghu general stood up from his seat, bowed to King Zuoxian, and reported immediately.

As soon as the general's words fell, there was an uproar in the tent, and discussions started again.

"Half a month of food and grass, it seems that our army has to return to the army immediately."

"These Huns are really hateful. Their main force is clearly fighting the Ding Ling clan in the extreme north, but they don't know where these soldiers and horses came from."

"This time it was our army's carelessness, otherwise it would have been caught off guard by these Huns who suddenly came out."

"I hate that country of Yan, otherwise why would our clan be so passive."

"Half a month of food and grass, it seems that it is better to withdraw the troops sooner rather than later."

Listening to the rumors, King Zuo Xian of Donghu lightly raised his hand, and the tent was silent for a moment: "The army is running out of food and grass. This king intends to withdraw the army and take back the tribe to clear the food road. I don't know what you think." .

"I will respectfully follow the order of the virtuous king."A group of civil and military personnel hurriedly stood up from their seats, and bowed to King Zuo Xian of Donghu to accept orders.

Donghu Zuo Xian Wang nodded in satisfaction, and all the civil and military personnel turned around immediately.Seeing this, the civil servant immediately said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, don't forget that our army retreats, there are still 40 Xiongnu soldiers and horses before going."

"Withdrawing the troops hastily, once they are attacked by the Huns from two sides, I'm afraid it will not be a good thing for our army."The civil official's words reminded all the people in the tent, and those civil and military officials immediately turned to look at Zuo Xianwang.

King Zuoxian of Donghu pondered, and after a while, he ordered: "Leave one hundred thousand soldiers and horses to deploy on the spot, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will follow the king back to the army, and take back the tribe to clear the food road."

"Follow orders".A group of civil and military officials saluted quickly, then turned around and filed out.Donghu Zuo Xian Wang saw the officials who were going out, and gradually fell into deep thought.
