The situation in Henan has changed faster than Touman Shanyu imagined.
The large Qin army that blocked the river moved southward, leaving only a small force to hold on. This was a signal that the war situation had changed.
Touman Chanyu had no intention of leading his troops southward in a large scale immediately.
He gained wisdom after being deceived by Zhao Tuo once in Dai. He already had a foresight in case this was another Qin people's trick to lure the Xiongnu to the south of the river and then surround him.
.
At that time, the Huns will have a big river on their backs and it will be difficult to cross them in a hurry, so they will have to be dealt with by the Qin army.
A smart wolf king will not be deceived by a hunter for a third time.
So Touman Shanyu just sent out scouts again to investigate. He didn't want to put himself in danger before getting specific information.
When the spies sent by the Xiongnu were shot dead by the Qin soldiers who stayed behind, they were about to send another group of people over to find out the information no matter what.
The last group of Qin people stationed in the river suddenly retreated, abandoning their armor and fleeing in a panic. They even threw some of their strategic supplies into the river.
After Wuluxu, the king of Youguli, got off his horse, he looked at the south of the river with hatred.
You are a fool.
But the two Xihous in Si Yan's hands and the tribes in Shuangmi Xihou's hands were wiped out by Sujia. I have great hatred for the people of Qin. Surrendering now is only forced by the situation. This person is naturally
Perfect for the job. This is my pasture.
It will take another thousand years of over-cultivation and grazing by various dynasties and raging sandstorms before this place will become the largest desert in China in the past life and become a real sea of death.
Touman Chanyu reined in his horse and stood on the bank of the river, watching the torrential water rolling around the Qin people's clothes and food, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Now the Qin people who stayed behind have fled with their heavy horses and abandoned their supplies, which shows that we have not yet reached the critical moment.
First of all, there were only about 20,000 Yuezhi people who went north that time.
Calculating the time, we should slow down to the south bank of the river and meet the Huns.
Li Shiqi chuckled: "There's a problem. This is a rhetoric specially made for mantis headache. I should believe it."
Shanyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Shan Yu doubted that Zhao Tuosha would make the right choice.
The short-term soldiers took orders and went up to calm the morale of the troops.
"General, although Zhao Tuosha is not very capable, can she really deceive the Huns?"
"No matter whether the Yuezhi people win or the Qin people win, we will definitely lose our strength. Little Qin army, that is your chance. Take your warriors south quickly and attack south of the river.
Take back the land of your Huns!"
That area should be what was known as the Kubuqi Desert in the previous life, and is now called Kujie Sand by the Rong people in Henan. It is a small piece of desert that lies between the Hetao Grassland in the north and the Helan Grassland in the south.
Zuogudu Hou Huyanzi laughed, and the surrounding Huns nobles also nodded.
Chen Ping was quite worried about this policy.
Chen Ping also nodded in admiration. The General's words are really not heroic. I just admire him.
Because the scouts we sent to Henan brought shocking news.
This exotic face appeared in Shanyu's mind.
I saw that the seven fields were narrow and wide, and the flat sand was vast and yellow. Everywhere I looked, there was a patch of yellow sand, and I couldn't see anything green.
Ten thousand people are from the Kushan tribe, and ten thousand are from the Xiumi tribe. The reason why the two tribes are mixed is not only for the sake of cooperating with the plan, but also because there is no intention of letting the two Yuezhi tribes restrain each other, and they cannot take a step back to increase the risk of betrayal.
It was just us, and all the Suga soldiers who were killed swallowed their saliva, and walked carelessly in the yellow sand, struggling through it.
Si Yan turned to the soldiers accompanying him and said: "Let people promote it in the army and say that the desert occupies a small area. You don't have a local guide to lead you. You can go out tomorrow. When you get out of the desert, isn't it?
There is no river flowing outside the grassland with abundant water and grass, which makes Qi Bazi worried."
It is no wonder that Fan Kuai and others were frightened. We are from Sishui County in the south. This area is crisscrossed by rivers, full of green water and green mountains, and is full of vitality. We have never seen a place so dead and silent as if it were an extinct realm on earth.
Among the small army, Fan Kuai and Cao Shen, who were short-range generals, looked at Qi Zhou with their mouths open.
"Oh my god, that place is full of yellow sand. It's even scarier than the Gobi Desert in the south. People outside there have no choice but to go up there. There's nothing to fight for in that kind of place!" Qian Qianqiannu said
The general's words are not orders and hope for us, they are enough to enable us to overcome the arduous march that the Qin people have never experienced before.
Although I am not slow-witted, I am still a young man and have very little battlefield experience, so I cannot relax at such an important moment.
Following Si Yan's order to go up, the Qin soldiers who were originally in a state of turmoil were calmed down.
As for the possibility of Si Yansha rebelling.
"Da Chanyu, our people saw that the Qin army threw many of their soldiers into the river and rode away overnight. It seems that they were defeated by the Yuezhi in the south, otherwise they would not have lost these precious things.
I threw them all away just to run faster."
The Marquis of Guishuang, that man is an old man. He was once a Xihou and became a prisoner of the Sujia Order. It would feel comfortable in his heart. Si Yan felt that he would definitely give the Marquis of Guishan 20,000 Yuezhi people. I
The possibility of rebels joining forces with the Huns is quite slim.
That was a sight we had never seen before. To the Qin people, that desert was far less terrifying than the nomadic people, and it would inevitably cause a disturbance in the morale of the army.
The nobles of the Huns were looking at each other, their small eyes widening.
In the eyes of the Huns, food is a life-saving thing, and weapons and armor are treasures that protect life. They are a last resort and are absolutely impossible to throw away.
Touman Qinjun smiled and agreed: "Wuluxu, we need to be patient. When the wolves are hunting, we must first determine which beast is the healthiest before taking action.
Amid the praise, Shanyu looked north.
South of the creek, a white torrent surged in from the south.
Whether this next plan can succeed or not depends on this man.
Touman Qinjun opened his eyes and asked, "Do the Yue people want to take refuge with you?"
Si Yan was able to get out easily under the guidance of an experienced guide.
In fact, in Si Yan's opinion, Zhao Tuosha is the only person who can implement that plan.
Chen Ping was worried that our plan might deceive the Huns.
By the river.
Shanyu looked at Qi Zhou with a thoughtful expression.
Li Shiqi was worried that the leader, Si Yansha, would lose his mind, which would lead to the bankruptcy of the original plan and even create other-self problems.
Compared with the desolate desert passing behind them, the two counselors Chen Ping and Li Shiqi were worried about the situation to the north.
Li Shiqi was startled for a moment, then he clapped his hands and praised: "It's bad to say that if you doubt people, you will use them, and if you employ people, you will use doubts. This general really doesn't have a small spirit.
What Toumansiyan said was very reasonable, but the reality was that my people had just crossed the river, ran back very slowly, and brought back a new piece of news.
Even at that time, the desertification here was still relatively slight. The desert area was not small, and there were often no oases with lush water and grass in the middle to serve as supplies.
Having said that, Li Shiqi raised his brows slightly: "You are just worried about that man Si Yansha. The general gave you a small amount of trust when he asked you to lead the team, but you have to be on guard against people from other races."
The swirling wind and sand had already covered up the hoof prints of the 20,000 Yuezhi cavalry.
Looking at the two counselors, Shan Yu said fiercely: "There is no risk in doing anything during a military war. If you are too scrupulous, you will tie your own hands and feet, which is not the behavior of a good general. You have done what you could not do after that.
, Now that we have to employ people, we should doubt whether we are using them or not."
Moreover, the Chanyu later used various means to bribe these Yuezhi people, use relatives as hostages, brainwash people, torture and intimidation and other means to retreat and bind them. This was an insurance measure. He wanted to lead the 20,000 people to betray, but
Such a complicated thing.
Yes, when Su Jia was implementing the plan to destroy the Huns, Shanyu chose Zhao Tuosha, the one who proposed the strategy. This decision was beyond everyone's expectations.
The candidate who can lead the two Yueshi must have a low status, so there are only an extremely unlimited number of people to choose from.
"So let your people go to the south to investigate the fuzzy first and see who is the most powerful beast suitable to be hunted."
Zhao Tuosha was the son of the Marquis of Guishuang, and was entrusted by the Marquis of Xiumi. She was not qualified and capable to lead the two Yuezhi tribes, but her prestige was far inferior to that of the Marquis of Guishan.
Choosing Xihou is the worst and most difficult thing to convince the Huns.
To a certain extent, you are more suitable than the Marquis of Kushan.
"The Yuezhi people are coming!
Regardless of whether he is truly "refined Qin" or is forced by the situation, he has to rely on Sujia. After all, he can distinguish the ambiguous situation and know who is weaker, Qin or the Huns in the north.
