Chapter 81 The fish takes the bait

When the Shanguo people had finished their deliberations and were preparing to take action, the main cavalry force led by Zhang Yue also arrived outside the camp.

The soldiers finished their meals and repaired themselves, and night had fallen.

At this time, Zhang Yue summoned several major military officers.

Zhang Yue then took out the map that the scouts had just drawn and said to everyone:

"Second and Third Son, now that we are under the noses of the Xiongnu and Shanguo people, we must be careful and guard against..."

"What Ming Gong said is true. According to the information obtained from the Loulan and Sogdian people, the Shanguo people are very good at conducting night battles and sneak attacks."

Zhang Yue nodded in agreement and immediately ordered:

"Now that we are outnumbered and outnumbered, in order to prevent accidents, I have decided to make the following adjustments!"

"Young friend Yang, you immediately expel the Shan Kingdom spies around you. There is no need to show mercy. You must ensure that there are no outsiders within ten miles. Anyone who comes within ten miles will be killed without mercy. Remember!"

"Promise, don't worry, Ming Gong, no one will come close to me!"

After Yang You agreed, he left quickly. After a while, there was a sound of horse hooves, and it was obvious that he had begun to take action.

After Yang You left, Zhang Yue looked at the map and thought for a while, "Commander Lu, have you seen this place? This forest is the most suitable for an ambush."

"After a while, Yang You drove away the Shanguo people's informants, you led 200 people to ambush here. Once you see the fire, you will immediately rush out to cut off the intruder's retreat."

"promise"

"Lord, do you mean that the Huns and Shanguo people will come to rob the camp tonight?"

"I don't know whether the Huns are coming, but the Shan people will definitely come. Even if their king doesn't agree, other noble people will force him to act!"

Lu Han thought for a while and then suddenly realized: "My lord, it's my opinion, but my subordinates are stupid."

At this time, Lu Han also thought of the information he got from the Loulan people.

Zhang Yue then said to Wang Hu: "Wang Hu, I will lead my troops to ambush in the reed swamps two miles to the east. Once we find that the camp is fighting, we will rush out immediately."

"promise"

Wang Hu agreed and rubbed his hands excitedly. He had not caught up with the opportunity in the previous battles. This time he was ready to show off his skills.

Zhang Yue ignored him, then turned to look at Mark: "Mark, do you see this?" Zhang Yue pointed to a pass and said

Mark nodded without a smile.

"This place is about ten miles away from the mountain country. It is the only pass in and out of the mountain country. I led my troops and quietly took a detour and lurked outside the pass."

Once the fighting breaks out in the main camp, seize this place immediately.

You must defend this place at all costs until the battle in the camp is over.

"promise!"

Mark replied seriously.

Zhang Yue stood up and bowed solemnly to Mark.

"General Ma Bai, whether you can win this battle depends on you!"

Mark returned the greeting and said: "Sima, don't worry, as long as I am still breathing, I will never let anyone pass through the pass. If you want to pass through the pass, you have to step over the corpse of the subordinate."

Zhang Yue said: "Ma Jun, I don't need your body, I want you to come back alive!"

Mark nodded solemnly: "No!"

Zhang Yue nodded, looked around at everyone, bowed and said: "Please, gentlemen!"

Everyone bowed back and said, "We will definitely live up to the trust entrusted by Ming Gong!"

Zhang Yue bowed again and said, "Take care, gentlemen!"

…

After everyone left, they all acted according to the plan. In order to cover everyone's actions, Zhang Yue ordered the soldiers who stayed in the camp to light a bonfire, put various things on the horses and cattle, and made various noises. He made a lot of noises.

It looked like a bustling crowd.

The Shanguo people, who had originally had doubts about the Han army's behavior of expelling the spies, finally felt relieved.

These Shanguo people still didn't know much about the Han army. Their approach to war was still at the stage of a few village chiefs fighting like in the Western Regions, so they were easily deceived by the Han army.

If they informed the Huns of their actions, the Huns might be able to see some problems.

After all, the Huns had been at war with the Han army for so many years, and they were very familiar with some of the methods commonly used by the Han army.

In the Han camp, Zhao Guanghan, who was shouting loudly and pretending to drink, couldn't help but said to Pan Hong: "Uncle Du, why did Sima ask us to do this? I feel like we are so stupid now!"

Pan Hong whispered: "Can't you see it yet? This is covering the actions of others. Be more alert. There will definitely be a war tonight!"

Zhao Guanghan was surprised, and then he said happily: "It's great to have a big battle tonight?"

Pan Hong warned: "Be careful and don't fall asleep. If you fall asleep, Nai Gong will not wake you up!"

Zhao Guanghan rubbed his hands: "Don't worry, I will behead a few more people tonight, and I also want to earn enough military merit to visit Chang'an City!"

"Uncle Du, you have lived in Chang'an since you were a child. Please tell your sons and daughters about Chang'an City."

Naturally, the surrounding soldiers heard the conversation between the two!

At this time, they all shouted: "Uncle Du, tell us about Chang'an City!"

Pan Hong laughed and said: "Okay, I will talk to the second and third sons about Chang'an City."

"Chang'an City is the largest and most prosperous city in the empire. It takes a whole day to run along the city wall. There are nearly one million people living in Chang'an City alone..."

Pan Hong was talking about Chang'an City, and the exclamations of the soldiers kept coming from all around.

In Pan Hong's words, Chang'an City is simply heaven on earth and the greatest city in the world.

The soldiers were also attracted by his words, and everyone began to yearn for the life in Chang'an City... They were all eager to visit Chang'an City.

Pan Hong's words were naturally heard by Zhang Yue. Although Zhang Yue was born in Guanzhong, he had never been to Chang'an City.

However, he knew that Pan Hong was generally right. Chang'an City was indeed the greatest city of this era. Its size and population were 20 times that of Rome.

It was not until 2000 that a city in the West surpassed Chang'an, the capital of the empire, in population size.

However, Chang'an is by no means some kind of heaven on earth. The killings in Chang'an City have never stopped...

In the mountain kingdom, the left general Xumi and the prince Xutuo led more than 800 soldiers out of the mountain kingdom and were heading towards the camp where the Han army was located.

In the valley more than 20 miles east of the mountain city, the king of the mountain country was kneeling at the feet of King Otu.

"Bang"

King Otu kicked the mountain king.

King Ou Tuo was extremely angry now. He did not expect that after his repeated objections, this stupid guy would dare to attack the Han army behind his back.

"You red deer, you idiot, do you think the Han army is easy to deal with? You actually dare to attack the Han army camp with just a few hundred people."

The king of the mountain country prostrates himself on the ground, not daring to make any resistance.

He did not expect that General Zuo and the others had just taken action and the Huns already knew about it...
