"The general chased the Huns from Yuyang, and found the main force of the Huns. He fought against them. He was very brave, and Wei Huo admired it." Wei Huo looked at Wang Li, who was lying limp on the side, and cupped his hands.He also knew that Wang Li couldn't stand the fishing reels from the DPRK, so he risked his life to send troops.Knowing that he will die, this is also a hero, but killing so many people is different from Wei Huo's philosophy. 320

  Wang Li raised his head laboriously, looked at Wei Huo, his face was pale from the blood loss, and said with a sigh, "I am very grateful to be rescued by Marquis Yong today. I was once suspicious of Marquis Yong's title, and now I am very grateful. It seems that His Majesty's seal is not false, and I am ashamed and ashamed."

  Dare to do it, dare to say, this is a man.After Wei Huo heard Wang Li's words, the last trace of grudge in his heart disappeared.He pulled off his clothes and said, "The general puts on his shirt first, we will go back to Daqin Pass, and then talk about other things."

  Wang Liqiang put on his shirt and rode his horse under the protection of several guards.

  The two armies of Daqin were mixed together, and under the command of Wei Huo, they quickly evacuated the grassland and returned to Yuyang County.

  Right now, both Youbeiping and Yuyang are seriously damaged, and there must be generals guarding them so that the people here can feel a little more peaceful.Then there are three elders from the village who came to the army to be held accountable.

  They were the ones who slipped through the net under the sword of the Xiongnu, but many people died in each family, and some were even extinct.This kind of hatred must be offset by blood for blood and tooth for tooth.To this end, survivors from Youbeiping and Yuyang County began to petition.They went directly to the general's mansion and asked the generals guarding the border to send troops to avenge the dead soul of Da Qin.Otherwise, go to Xianyang to file a complaint with the imperial court.

  Wei Huo and Wang Li had just returned to Yuyang when they were surrounded by those petitioners with sad faces at the city gate. .

Chapter 577

  The frontier's report soon entered the Xianyang Palace and placed it on the desk of the Wuxin Palace.

  Su Wen looked at the report from Wei Huo on the table, his face sinking like water.The report said that Yuyang and Youbeiping suffered heavy losses, and the call to send troops to the Xiongnu was getting louder and louder.If not handled properly, I am afraid people will be scattered.

  "One hundred thousand Xiongnu cavalry invaded the border. This is no ordinary robbery. This is a real national war and aggression. If we endure it, the Huns will definitely gain an inch." Zhao Tuo is also in the Wuxin Palace now, belonging to the Counselor's House. a member.He himself has lived in Lingnan for a long time, and he has always been in control of power, and he is also a member of the warriors, and he has developed a habit of domineering.Now that I heard that the northern Xiongnu had invaded the border, he immediately expressed his thoughts.

  Su Wen nodded.After Meng Tian was castrated, he transferred Han Xin back to Xianyang.Now that Zhao Tuo and Han Xin are both there, there are many generals in the DPRK who are accustomed to fighting.Originally he planned to rest for a few years.As long as he is given a year and a half, Daqin's infrastructure will reach a new level.

  During this half year, Su Wen dealt little with the state affairs.All the memorials were considered and handled by Li Si and several ministers of the Counselor's Office, and the final result was reported to Su Wen for approval.He needs to sort out all the knowledge he knows about later generations, and write some knowledge that he knows a little bit as guiding things, which can be regarded as a direction for Daqin's basic science.

  Su Wen has long banned the tricks and tricks of the alchemists.Although he couldn't deny the existence of ghosts and gods all at once, he was making this effort bit by bit.

  Talent is the foundation.Now in the Daqin Imperial College, the science of physics has made some progress.As long as half a year, I am afraid it can be applied to military agriculture.But the Huns invaded at this time.Disrupted Su Wen's plan.

  In this era, Daqin was considered a powerful country.If you add more knowledge from your own later generations.If the four barbarians can't be surrendered, then the emperor will be in vain.Su Wen clenched his fists.

  "Didn't Mo Nan from the Kewu Institute develop a giant crossbow arrow called the Eagle Archer? He ordered the general to be a prisoner and mass-produce it immediately. All finished Eagle Archer Crossbow will be equipped with the border guards. Xiao He is responsible for this." . "Su Wen said, and Li Si recorded.

  Perhaps it was because of Su Wen's guilt, that Li Si worked hard in the courtroom, and has grown a lot older in the past two years.After listening to Su Wen's order, he immediately wrote it down.

  "You know the army in Lingnan, let's see if we can deploy some to overwhelm the north." Su Wen turned to ask Zhao Tuo.

  Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "It's okay to mobilize the Lingnan army. It's just that the time may need to be delayed a little bit. For these Hu people who dare to covet our Daqin mainland, we must resolutely attack them. We can't delay. The Lingnan army can be mobilized. Come here, but the frontier army should be ready to fight immediately. Our army pushes out flat, squeezing the Huns into the extreme northern grasslands inch by inch. The cold snap of winter is enough to make them lose their strength to fight."

  Su Wen nodded, he agreed with Zhao Tuo's statement.Da Qin must stand tall on the grassland.If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to stand up, I'm afraid there will be troubles in the future.After all, there are not only the Huns on the prairie, but also other tribes, and these are restless guys.

  After detailed deliberation, the Counselor's Office decided to appoint Han Xin as the Marshal of the Northern Expedition Army.Xiao He was in charge of the supply, sending an army of [-] troops to guard the frontier.It is unrealistic to advance to the prairie inch by inch, so we have to let the army stand guard.Seek a decisive battle for the main force of the Huns.

  [-] Great Qin soldiers were stationed at the border gate.Fortunately, this year was a bumper harvest, and there was no worries about military supplies.Xiao He arranged it properly.Everything seemed so smooth.

  Su Wen stood on the floor of Wuxin Hall, looking in the direction of the northern grassland.His eyes were full of anger.

  Han Xin's army had been stationed at the border for nearly a month, when the front wind struck.Winter is coming.But they couldn't find the main force of the Huns and could not fight them decisively.

  Just when the Daqin soldiers gathered at the border and had nothing to do, Wei Huo asked Han Xin for his orders, and decided to take [-] Qin soldiers to go deep into the grasslands to find the main force of the Huns for the army.

  Han Xin praised Weihuo for his bravery, granted his request to send troops, and asked him to put his own safety first and not to confront the Huns.

  Wei Huo took the order, and after returning to his station, he immediately counted the people.He would take the most elite men and horses and attack to find the main force of the Huns.The Eagle Crossbow delivered from Xianyang cannot be carried.Although those cumbersome eagle crossbows have amazing lethality, they move slowly and are not suitable for grassland raids.

  The [-] elite knights who followed Wei Huo's attack were all equipped with hard bows, and everyone brought as many quivers as their weight allowed.There are plenty of bows and arrows inside.

  These bravest soldiers of the Qin Dynasty had never penetrated into the northern prairie, but now they were the first to rush into the depths of the prairie to find the main force of the Xiongnu.As for the food, everyone brought enough dry pancakes and plain water for fifteen days.

  Although it was early winter, the whole grassland was already full of winds and withered poplars.

  Before the army set off, Wei Huo first sent three sentry teams.These three teams are all veterans in the army who kill the most agile, and the purpose is to clear all the human beings seen on the grassland.

  After all, the movement of the army needs to be kept secret, and the enemy's spies must be eliminated to ensure that the trail of the march will not be leaked, otherwise the tragedy of being trapped in the depths of the grassland will be repeated.

  Half an hour after the scout team left, and after Wei Huo's [-] Qin soldiers set off from Chengguan, the sky turned gloomy, and with a gust of cold wind, fine snow foam fell down to support it.

  With the snow foam, the prairie became confused.

  Not far from Daqin Chengguan, one or two Hu people huddled in a small nest made of hay to keep warm, their faces flushed from the cold wind and snow foam.They talked in a low voice with their nonsense.

  In this kind of ghost weather, Daqin's defenders probably won't make any big moves.The two people relaxed, the grassland nomads couldn't stand it in such weather.

  Just when the two Hu people were just relaxing, they didn't notice that a white figure had quietly approached their hiding place.The people who came were holding knives in their left and right hands.

  After approaching the two alien sentinels, the knife in his hand suddenly split, divided into left and right, and directly inserted into the throats of the two people, one cut and one pull.The two alien detectives covered their necks, clucked their mouths, kicked their legs a few times, and then stopped moving.

  Among the snow foam, a few figures gradually appeared. They were all wearing cotton robes, and they were covered with a white cloth curtain that had been prepared for a long time, which was a simple disguise.

  "...Search, there must be war horses hidden around!" the murderer whispered.

  The blood of the two Hu people soon cooled in the cold wind, and the snow foam also covered their bodies. .

Chapter 578

  Sure enough, in a ditch not far away, two war horses were curled up in the wind and snow, still waiting for the arrival of their master.Please search to see the most complete!fastest update

  Daqin's sentry naturally took the war horse as his own without hesitation.The horses of the Hu people did look tall and steed, much taller than the horses born and bred in Daqin.

  "Leave a mark, so that the general's brigade can keep up with us." The leader of the squad commanded in a low voice, and at the same time gathered the two war horses into his team.

  A soldier wrapped in a white drapery listened, squatted on the ground quickly, took out a triangular wooden peg, turned the tip down, and smashed the wooden peg into the ground with the handle of the knife in his hand. It is almost the same height as the grass, and you can't see any traces without looking closely.

  The original three teams of sentries dispersed after entering the prairie, in order to kill all the sentries distributed by the Huns around the Daqin frontier and prevent the Daqin marching route from leaking.

  There were quite a few Hu people lurking in the entire grassland, and all those discovered by the Qin army were inevitably dead.Even the Hu people who lived scattered on the grassland were killed by the sentries.In order to protect the concealment of the army, some unscrupulous things were done, and they were done 320 times.After all, they are not from Qin, so there is no psychological burden to kill them.

  One of the laws that the emperor revised this time was that people with Daqin nationality were not allowed to be slaves.Turning it over, even non-Qin people can be enslaved.

  The Hu people were blacklisted because of their invasion of the Daqin frontier.There has already been an edict from Xianyang, accusing the Hu people of being slaves, and telling the frontier guards that they must be ruthless when treating slaves.

  Wei Huo's army moved quickly along the place left by the sentry.They found the bodies of the Huns killed one by one by the sentry.

  "The Huns have a clear desire for me, the Great Qin. They left so many sentries along the way. No wonder Wang Li fell into the siege of the Huns last time." Wei Huo and his lieutenant Lin Xin pointed to the ground and died The Xiongnu sentry to spy on the corpse and said.

  Lin Xin was his personal soldier when he was at war with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu.This expedition became Wei Huo's deputy.

  "Are the Huns more ferocious than the overlords of Western Chu?" Lin Xin asked with some doubts.

  Wei Huo looked at the (bgdi) snow foam rising in the sky, and pointed to the white grassland in front of him.Said: "They are not as brave as overlords. But they are veritable overlords on the grasslands. Because they live as nomads, they have no fixed place to live. I have a million soldiers and arrows in Qin Kong, but I can't find the main force of the enemy. There is no open confrontation. This is where the Huns are difficult to deal with."

  Lin Xin nodded, an enemy with no trace to look for was indeed a headache.You came.He goes.When you leave, he will appear in your border town again.This bastard is like a man-eating fly.Annoying and biting, nasty and scary.

  "General, if we can target the main force of the Xiongnu this time, perhaps we can send a large army to fight them to the death. One battle will determine the outcome." Although Lin Xin's nose was cold and bald, she was still ambitious.

  Wei Huo lightly whipped Lin Xin's armor with his whip, and scolded with a smile, "I have enough brains to eat. In such a large grassland, finding the main force of the Huns is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The main purpose of our coming out this time is to Investigate the situation of the grassland. You can also harass the aborigines on the grassland. Another thing is to give an explanation to the civil and military officials in Xianyang, so that the commander Han Xin is not so embarrassed. You don't know. Those in Xianyang City Mr. Guan has already spread strange words, saying that Marshal Han Xin is unwilling to contribute to Daqin by holding on to his troops."

  Lin Xin frowned. He was about the same age as Wei Huo, and until now, it was all made up of real swordsmanship. I don't know what Wei Huo said, and I don't understand.Just feel a little unhappy.

  In fact, the Daqin officials in Xianyang City had a good starting point.In the past year, after Da Qin was reunited.Another great harvest.When the emperor's decree is in place, harmony is everywhere in the country.It doesn't look like a country that has just been in turmoil for a year.

  In just one year, all Daqin officials felt that their country was powerful and their emperor was wise. I didn't expect that the northern beard would dare to come to Daqin's territory.This kind of thing cannot be tolerated by Daqin officials who have just gained confidence.

  Therefore, there will be more urging for Han Xin, and there will be some strange words.

  "General. We all came out of a knife's head licking blood. Although we have different positions, I know that military merit is earned by life. If we go deep into the prairie to stop the mouth of Xianyang, then what is it? "Wait..." Lin Xin frowned for a long time and couldn't think of the word.

  "Hide your ears and steal the bell." Wei Huo said with a smile.

  "Yes, it's just stealing the bell. Let's run around the snowy plains after being tired from the cold. Even if we don't fight, there will be battle damage. It's not worth it." Lin Xin said with a sigh.

  Wei Huo nodded and looked at the grassland in the distance.At this time, the world was already vast.There was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere, and it seemed that there was no distinction between heaven and earth.The ten thousand of them originally seemed to have a mighty feeling, but in this vast white prairie, they seemed insignificant.

  This is the insignificance of human beings.They always want to conquer this and that, and what they want to conquer most is nature.But in such a majestic world, how small.

  "Lin Xin, this time, although the commander said he was out to find the enemy, try not to join forces with the enemy. But I don't think so. Look at this prairie." After speaking, Wei Huo pointed to a large field in the distance. Where it meets the sky, the dark clouds and the horizon break apart, revealing a blue sky.The place where it intersects is an arc.

  "On such a large grassland, it would be even more difficult to find the main force of the Huns with [-] people. So this task is simply impossible." Wei Huo said solemnly.

  Lin Xin didn't say anything, and continued to listen to Wei Huo: "If the army is attacking, if you run away in vain, it is difficult to provide Xianyang with the conditions to shut up. But the Huns will laugh at us when they know about it. Of course, this kind of laugh comes to me. It doesn't matter at all. But Lin Xin, do you know that we are soldiers, and we go out to earn military merit. If there is no blood on the knife, then are we still soldiers?"

  "So, you haven't found out yet that our army is not the main force to find the Huns on the grasslands. I have other ideas. I didn't tell Marshal Han Xin about this idea, and I didn't tell anyone. Guess." Wei Huo He licked his lips in the cold wind and said.

  Lin Xin squinted and thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of it. She shook her head and said, "I can't guess."

  Wei Huo raised his whip, pointed forward, and said, "Where is that?".

Chapter 579

  "North." Lin Xin looked at the vast snow field. Although there was no sun on a cloudy day, he still had the ability to identify directions.

  "I just want to go all the way north." Wei Huo showed a cold smile on his face: "This time, we are not only looking for the main force to find the Huns, but also to find the nests of the Huns. I don't believe them. Nomadic people are all nomads. The old people and children can't stand to toss in such a icy world. If there is no place to settle down, it is nonsense."

  A soldier like Lin Xin originally regarded this trip as a routine, but now his eyes lit up when he heard Wei Huo's words.Soldiers are afraid that there is no battle to fight.Listening to Wei Huo's meaning, it seems that this time he can't run in vain, and he has to collect some military merit.

  "The Huns are deep in the grasslands, so there must be old nests. This time we will go all the way to the north. Once we find the main force of the Huns, we will send sentries to report back. We will bypass the main force of the Huns and bring them a fire in the backyard." .

  Wei Huo had thought about the goal of this operation before he sent troops. For the sake of military confidentiality, he only told Marshal Han Xin about this before he set off.Han Xin fully supports Wei Huo.

  It is extremely difficult to find the Xiongnu's lair on the snow-covered grassland.Moreover, he didn't know whether the Xiongnu's nest in Wei Huo's guess existed or not.After all, this is the first time that Da Qin has left the Great Wall and launched an attack on the northern grasslands.

  Meng Tian was very powerful back then, and he only drove the Huns out of the frontier of Daqin, but did not go deep into the prairie, and ran thousands of miles into the hinterland of the Xiongnu.

  In Han Xin's words, what Wei Huo did was an unprecedented feat.If successful, it will bring a new way for Da Qin and the Huns to fight.

  The army cautiously moved forward on the snowy grassland.

  After two days of snowstorms.The weather finally released a trace of clear meaning.The sun poked its head out of the cracked dark clouds, and the radiant rays of light immediately complemented the white snow on the snowfield.Wei Huo's army was advancing very slowly.Because many people can't see clearly in the dazzling white snow.This is snow blindness, but the Qin people don't know it yet.

  Wei Huo knew that the eyes were stimulated by light.In order to protect their eyes, Daqin's cavalry tore off their shirts and made simple blindfolds.Some guy even got a black veil from somewhere and put it over his eyes, so that he can see the outside situation clearly and prevent snow blindness.

  The army marched all the way north in hardships.The food and water brought with them did not dare to eat more.Once you eat half of it, you have to go back.Otherwise, they are not destroyed by the Huns.Will starve to death on this prairie.Thinking of the scene where [-] people starved to death, Wei Huo felt cold.

  For so many years, the reason why Da Qin failed to destroy the Huns was because they hid in the grasslands and depended on their cavalry to fight flexibly.Once Daqin soldiers and horses respond in the same way, they will fall into a situation where supplies are not timely.This is also the reason why the previous dynasties could not completely solve the threat of the Hu people.

  In front of the army, a knight in a white robe suddenly ran towards the army formation of Da Qin.

  Wei Huo recognized at a glance that this person was a Daqin sentry.He waved.The entire group stopped.When the scout approached, and before Wei Huo could ask, the man immediately folded his fists and said, "General, our team found a temporary settlement of Hu people ahead. There are hundreds of horses, cattle and sheep, and eight young and strong men. Seventeen people, all with machetes. One hundred and three women. Twenty-five old people and children in total. The captain has set up checkpoints all around, and none of them can get out. Do you want to make a surprise attack?"

  "Is there any movement of the Xiongnu army around?" Wei Huo immediately unfolded a map made of sheepskin on his horse.Since he left the Daqin border, he has been walking.At the same time, draw the path you took on the parchment and confirm it with the map.

  "Within a hundred miles, the Huns have not been found." The sentry said simply.

  Wei Huo closed the map, put the sheepskin roll into his arms, took off the spear from the victory hook of the warhorse, and instructed: "Lead the way ahead, surround first, and you can't let a barbarian go."
