Nine hundred and sixty-sixth chapter of the battle of prayer Yushan (2)
"Good news for you guys!" Zhang Yue put down the report in his hand and smiled: "General Xu found about two thousand Hun cavalry in the Hequ area..."
Everyone listened and looked at each other, not understanding.
Don't understand, what's there to be happy about?
But Zhang Yue knew that this was the best news he had received now!
It is also the biggest opportunity at present!
"Since the Huns took the initiative to send cavalry and appeared in the Hequ hills upstream..." Zhang Yue smiled: "This shows that they still have ideals and hopes..."
"Hope is the best news..."
The ancestors had already educated him that he would be strong without desire.
If the Huns really hid north of the Gonglu River and south of the Prayuo Mountain, they would jammed this throat and not even exposed their heads, then whether the Han army wanted to retake Huo Qubing's journey or turn to the Yuwu River Basin, they would always face attacks and harassment from the enemies here and would never be at peace.
Therefore, praying that Yushan is the important place that the Han army must take before the next move!
If you want to take it down, the loss will be very large.
Moreover, it may not be successful!
Now, there is actually a Hun cavalry that appears in the Hequ area, which was originally thought to be abandoned by the Huns?
What does this mean?
This shows that the head coach of the Huns wants to make achievements!
Although Zhang Yue didn't understand why he had this idea?
but……
Almost subconsciously, Zhang Yue understood that he had to be given a chance!
"Guo Rong, please immediately inform General Xu not to contact the enemy in Hequ, and retreat thirty miles immediately!" Zhang Yue ordered.
Then he turned around, looked at the generals, and said, "I need to recruit a group of wormers..."
"Let them take our army to fight the Huns..."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, especially Xu Yan.
He widened his eyes and looked puzzled: "Isn't that going to be defeated?"
Zhang Yue grinned: "This is exactly what I need!"
Only by giving away a head can the other party be inspired to be competitive and to lure the main force of the Huns who are gathered on the grassland south of Prayuyu Mountain to stretch out their heads.
Only when the turtle leaves the shell can it be easier to eat it!
"Go and do it now!" Zhang Yue ordered behind his back: "In two days, I will see at least two thousand rippling cavalry..."
………………………………………
Almost at the same time, She Li at the foot of Mount Prayuyu also received a report sent back by the army he sent to Hequ to find the traces of the Han cavalry.
He immediately danced with joy.
My mind is full of victory, power and throne!
This cannot be blamed for him!
It is really, the throne of Shanyu is too tempting!
"Call all the nobles of the tribe immediately!" He gritted his teeth and issued an order: "Go and tell Mi She again, let him rush back to Longcheng immediately to pay homage to his mother, and tell him about the return of Shanyu!"
Mi She is Sheli's cousin, and is also the Zuo Daduwei under the command of the Right King. He is also the son of the sister of the mother Zhuanqu clan. He is deeply loved by his mother Yan, so sending him to Longcheng is the best choice.
"Your will, the great Tushe!" An aristocrat immediately turned around and left.
She Li held his hands behind his back and became proud.
The current pattern of the Huns is caused by the contradictions and conflicts of the Hun Empire over the past decades.
Especially the conflict between the contemporary Shanyu Hu Lugu and his mother, is quite serious!
To be precise, the contradiction between the twin clans of the Huns and the Zhuanqu clan, who has always been the descendant clan of the Huns, is becoming increasingly serious!
Since the time of the Shanyu, the Shanyu and the mother of the Shanyu have become increasingly disinterested in their hearts and virtues!
The tacit understanding and cooperation since the Maodun period have disappeared, and replaced by intrigue and intrigue.
Especially the current mother, because of Li Ling's killing of Li Xu, she had a very unhappy relationship with the late Qiehu Hou Shanyu and the current Hu Lu Gu Shanyu!
Both are almost the same as water and fire.
When the Shanyu wanted to change, the mother-Yu family brought out the ancestral system and the tradition, and strongly opposed it and made a stumbling block.
Now, Hu Lu Gu is sick and is forced to withdraw troops from the Western Regions.
Can Mother Yan have no idea?
If you win another victory at this time, even a small victory...
She is so excited that she is about to dance!
………………………………
Thousands of miles away, the private canal is by the sea, with bright flowers and herds of cattle and sheep.
After resting here for a few days, Hu Lu Gu's health finally improved a little.
Having just drank the herbs sent by the trusted witch doctor, he reluctantly sat up, looked at Mu Haibu, the right Grand Commander who had been guarding him, and said, "Thank you for your hard work..."
"This is what a slave should do!" Mu Haiti quickly knelt down and said.
He was originally a slave, to be precise, after the prisoners of war captured by the Huns from the Western Regions.
Because he is about the same age as Hu Lu Gu, and is smart and sensible, he was sent to Hu Lu Gu as a playmate and slave.
He accompanied him all the way to the present, and he can be said to be the person who is the most loyal to him in the Shanyu court.
Hu Lugu even broke the tradition and appointed him as the right commander of the Shanyu Ting, mastered half of the royal entourage, and directly controlled all the warriors near the Shanyu Ting tent.
This is also impossible!
In the history of the Huns, rebellions and coups have been heard all the time.
Even absolutely powerful rulers like Maodun Da Shanyu and Lao Shang Da Shanyu have encountered countless coups and rebellions.
In recent decades, the Shanyu court has bleed countless times.
Junchen Shanyu, Er Shanyu and Julihu Shanyu were all unexplained.
The attempted coups and rebellions are not clear.
Therefore, the Xiongnu Khans and the Khans of all dynasties have been constantly strengthening and strengthening their own security.
Now, Hu Lu Gu has completely controlled and mastered all the armed forces at 500 steps near the king's tent, and used wealth, women and livestock to ensure that they are absolutely loyal!
"Is there any news in Longcheng?" Hu Lu Gu asked.
"Reporting to the Great Shanyu, the slaves received the news that they had discovered the traces of the cavalry of the northern expedition of the Han army advancing along the Gonglushui..." Mu Haizhen bowed his head and said, "My mother, Mrs. She, commanded more than ten cavalrymen including the Right Virtue King Sheli, commanded Lutou, Che She, Lushui, etc., to enter Pangyu Mountain, and to give up all the pastures south of the Gonglu River, evacuated all the livestock, and shifted the livestock, women and children of Guyan Mountain, Langjuxu Mountain to Yanran Mountain and Jinshan..."
Hu Lu Gu listened, nodded, and finally smiled: "Mother Yan is still knowledgeable!"
"My mother did the right thing!"
After the Han army defeated the Weilu Corps, a vacuum appeared in Mobei's defensive power.
Although Hu Lu Gu immediately took action to withdraw his troops after hearing the news, he withdrew Yuwushui from the Western Regions and rushed to rescue the Holy Mountain and Longcheng. Even if Hu Lu Gu tried his best to urge him, it would take at least one month for his vanguard troops to rush back!
And the main force will take at least forty days!
And these forty days may determine the rise, fall, life and death!
Now, the news from Longcheng made him finally relieved.
As long as you keep Mount Prayuo, even if the Han people burn all the pastures and sheep pots south of the Gonglu River, for the Huns, they will only lose face and suffer some minor injuries, and will not hurt their muscles or bones.
However……
After being happy, Hu Lugu suddenly remembered, stared at Mu Haihu: "Why didn't Mother Yan ask King Ding Ling to command the commander, but let the Right Xian King take charge?"
"She Li, he has never led a soldier at all!"
"Also, he is too impatient and too utilitarian!"
"Let him command the troops...what if he is cheated by the Han people?"
"The Great Shanyu, this is what the mother Yanshi means..." Mu Haidu hurriedly stepped forward to support the increasingly excited Hu Lugu: "You know that the mother Yanshi has always liked the Right Xianwang... When the Shanyu was there, he intended to establish the Right Xianwang. Fortunately, the nobles from various tribes opposed it, and you were the Zuo Xianwang designated by the Shanyu, so you gave up..."
"Now, if the mother, I have the chance, I will naturally let the Youxian King make contributions..."
"Make a meritorious service?" Hu Lu Gu barely suppressed her inner mania: "I think I'm going to die!"
"Then the Han Shizhong, even Wei Lu, can she be defeated, how can She Li be his opponent?"
"Go and invite King Jiankun right now!" Hu Lu Gu said excitedly: "Go quickly!"
Mu Haibo naturally understood the intention of his king, and he immediately advised: "The Great Shanyu calms his anger, and the Great Shanyu calms his anger! Now, the Shanyu court cannot do without King Jiankun!"
"If King Jiankun leaves, no one will be able to suppress the Shanyu court..."
"At that time, I'm afraid it's even more terrifying than the defeat of the Right Xian King!"
This retreat from Tianshan Mountain almost exhausted the prestige accumulated by Hu Lu Gu over the years.
The attack on the entire Shanyu court was quite serious.
He came out in full swing and gathered 150,000 cavalry and millions of livestock. He fought against the king in the west. He slapped the troops under the Tianshan Mountains for several months, but suddenly withdrew his troops before victory.
Not only did he withdraw his troops, he also reached an agreement with his ancestors, acknowledged and appointed the latter as the Left King, in order to win over and unite the power of the Huns and reshape the superstructure.
This is a bolt from the blue for all tribes that were once loyal to Hu Lu Gu!
For all the soldiers who followed Hu Lugu’s Western Expedition, it was even more like a disaster!
What’s even more serious is the reluctance and virtue caused by the nobles of each tribe.
For these people, they are now in an extremely embarrassing position.
They followed Hu Lu Gu to the Western Expedition to be brave, one out of loyalty and obedience, and the other was to use this to eat something and divide the troops, army and territory of the ancestors.
Now, I won’t say anything about my work.
The original enemy has now transformed into the Zuo Xian King and Ri Zhu King, the future Xiongnu Khan.
In the future, the wise men are afraid of going to the throne. Those who led troops to fight him today, even spoke ill of each other, and wouldn’t they immediately become thorns in their side and thorns in their flesh?
These people are not erupting or moving now.
It's just that it's an external trouble, so I dare not do anything.
Moreover, there was an army led by King Jiankun Li Ling, who suppressed the Shanyu court.
Li Ling's elite cavalry and the main force of the Shanyu Court he controlled and influenced made these people afraid of weapons.
But the problem is...
If Li Ling leaves...
The consequences are simply unimaginable!
Without this great man who made great achievements in the Western Expedition and impressed countless nobles.
This Shanyu Court is about to turn the world upside down!
The regicide was never a problem for the Huns.
There is nothing great about changing to a Shanyu!
As long as you are not afraid of the wise, anyone can do it!
Hu Lu Gu naturally understood this truth. He sighed when he heard this, as if he had lost his strength and collapsed.
Li Ling could not leave, and Wei Lu was the defeated general again.
In the Shanyu court, the elites of the four major clans are now unreliable.
As for the twins...
The two younger brothers he trusts and admires the most.
King Yu Xiong went to Beihai in spring and went to find the Han envoy Su Wu to exchange music.
The King Guyan is Xu Yan, now I am afraid that one of them will be a prisoner or a dead person!
Among the rest, there are probably some ambitious people who think that "that can be replaced."
Looking around, Hu Lu Gu found sadly that no one was available now!
"Heaven God... Lord of Sun and Moon..." Hu Lu Gu looked up at the dome: "Please bless your people and survive this disaster! Just like you blessed the great Yin Zhixie Chanyu and Wuwei Chanyu..."
He can only ask the gods for help now.
Hopefully, the power of the gods made the Han army coming from Gonglu River forced to withdraw their troops if there was an accident or a problem occurred.
Otherwise, he really has no confidence to survive this disaster!
"If I had known... I would have returned the Han envoy to the Han Dynasty early..." Hu Lugu closed his eyes and regretted: "Or, if you don't let Wei Lu lead his troops south... you can also avoid this disaster!"
Both of these choices can help him avoid today's embarrassment and dilemma.
When the Han envoy was sent back to the Han envoy, there would be no negotiations. The Han envoy was assassinated, which triggered the incident of the Shizhong official leading the army on patrol.
If Wei Lu did not send his troops south to find trouble, he would not lose his troops in Monan, and there would naturally be no defensive vacuum in Mobei.
Unfortunately, he made fatal mistakes in both of these things.
"Zhang Yi and Zhang Zizhong!" Hu Lu Gu closed her eyes and remembered the name fiercely in her heart.
Just like his father and grandfather, he remembered Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's name in his heart!
He understood that no matter what, now the Huns have a great enemy!
An enemy that may destroy the Hun Empire!
An enemy as terrifying as Wei Huo back then!
He proved Hu Lu Gu’s initial guess with his real record.
"Han, why are there so many heroes?" Hu Lu Gu lamented: "Wei Qing, after Huo Qubing, another Zhang Zizhong appeared..."
"Is this heaven going to destroy our Huns?"
………………………………
Two days later, with the efforts of the Huns and Wuheng people, two or three thousand Liuru and Gaoche people who were wandering in the Gonglu River and upstream areas were recruited.
To be honest, these nomadic peoples who are still very weak today cannot be called warriors in terms of physical fitness or other situations.
To describe it in one word, it should be appropriate to have a mob.
However, this is also the result that Zhang Yue wants!
How can we tempt the Huns to come out if they don’t let the Huns taste the sweetness?
So Zhang Yue asked the Wuheng people to take out part of their weapons and distribute them to these people. He also plundered many Huns' armor for them to use.
Then, they were organized casually, and a nobleman under Xu Yanyi's subordinates, led hundreds of surrendered troops, embarked on a journey to the Hequ area.
At the same time, Zhang Yue ordered Sima Xuan to lead two thousand Han cavalry, followed closely behind, about a hundred miles away from them.
He also gave Sima Xuan a death order to meet the Huns, only allowed to lose, not win!
Chapter completed!
