According to the information provided by Huyange, Zhou Bo knew all the Xiongnu's calculations. It turned out that Maodun Shanyu had made two preparations. At the same time, he arranged for Huyange to cause trouble in Hexi to attract the Qin army's attention, and Maodun Shanyu
He personally led 30,000 soldiers in the Hexi area to wait for an opportunity to attack and kill the children of the Yuezhi princes. As long as something happened to the princes' children who went to study in Da Qin in the territory of Da Qin in Hexi, Da Qin would naturally become the first target. At that time, those heirs
The princes who died in Hexi will inevitably resent the Qin Dynasty and instigate the Yuezhi King Huweisejia to go to war with the Qin Dynasty.
Zhou Bo looked at Hu Yange and said with a smile: "The calculation is really good, but it's a pity that you, the mastermind, are too cowardly."
Seeing that Zhou Bo was laughing at him, Hu Yange was not angry and even licked his face to show his kindness to Zhou Bo.
After the guards of the Huben Army left with Hu Yange, a captain beside Zhou Bo expressed his thoughts: "General, such a coward dares to sneak into our Daqin to cause trouble. It's really abominable. Why don't you kill him?"
?”
Zhou Bo smiled and shook his head, and said seriously: "Why should we kill him if he is such a coward? Not only should we not kill this person, but we must also return this person to the Xiongnu intact and build momentum for him.
Just talk about how this person would rather die than surrender, in short, we want to describe this person as a hero of the Huns."
"Why is this?" the captain asked puzzledly.
"It would be meaningless for such a coward to die. Wouldn't it be nice if this person could be made into a hero of the Huns and returned to the Huns, so that he can continue to cause harm to Maodun Shanyu."
After Zhou Bo's explanation, the captain understood Zhou Bo's intention and smiled and stopped talking.
"You go and pass on my military order, and the army will immediately set up camp. There is one more thing, Hu Yange's confession, please remember not to make it public."
Captain "Nuo" took the order and left quickly.
Although the crisis in Ganzhou City has been resolved, the entire Hexi land is still under a haze. The whereabouts of the missing mission have been found. The most deadly thing is that Maodun Shanyu is wandering in the Hexi land at this moment, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
If Maodun Chanyu succeeds in killing the children of the Prince of the Yuezhi, then Zhou Bo will also be finished. Just the criticism from the officials is enough for him to drink a pot.
Taking advantage of the time when the army was setting up camp, Zhou Bo drafted a letter to be sent to Xianyang. Zhou Bo reported to Fusu in detail the situation in Hexi; the disappearance of the mission, Huyange's rebellion, and the risk of
Dun Shanyu personally led 30,000 troops to operate in Hexi.
After writing the letter to Fusu, the army was almost ready. Due to time constraints, Zhou Bo had no time to report the details to Shusun Tong in person, so he had to arrange for an informant to report to Shusun Tong.
After leading the army to leave Ganzhou City, Zhou Bo arranged for the army to search in the direction of Yuezhi in two directions. Thanks to the exchange of scouts between the two armies, the two armies always maintained a distance of about a hundred miles during their march.
In fact, Zhou Bo also had a secret weapon, which was that Fusu handed over to Zhou Bo the first batch of flying slaves (pigeons) trained by the Daqin Military Academy to transmit messages. As a general trained by the Daqin Military Academy, Zhou Bo naturally knew about these flying slaves.
The importance of Feinu is only due to the preciousness of Feinu, so it is not used easily.
In addition to Fei Nu, Zhou Bo also brought another person with him in this operation, Huyan Ge. However, Hu Yange's treatment was much worse than Fei Nu. In order to dispel Mao Dun Shanyu's concerns, Zhou Bo
Hu Yange was imprisoned in a prison car. In order to create Hu Yan Ge's heroic character who would rather die than surrender, Zhou Bo also specially arranged for the soldiers to beat Hu Yan Ge fat and beat Hu Yan Ge until his nose was black and his eyes were swollen, making him miserable.
Spreading 20,000 troops in the huge land west of Hexi was really insignificant. For several days, two tiger and Ben army troops and hundreds of large tiger and Ben army scouts and cavalry found no trace of Maodun Shanyu.
On this day, when Zhou Bo and his party were patrolling two hundred miles away from the border between Daqin and Yueshi, a flying slave landed in front of a Huben military captain, and there was a piece of letter tied to the leg of this flying slave.
.
The captain did not dare to neglect and delivered the exhausted flying slave and the letter to Zhou Bo.
The release of the flying slave shows that the Qin army who sent this letter encountered an emergency, otherwise it would never have easily used the flying slave. Due to the bitter cold in the winter in Hexi, the flying slave was exhausted when it flew to Zhou Bo and others
When he saw Zhou Bo and others wearing the uniforms of the Great Qin Tiger Army, he fell headfirst in front of the Tiger Army.
Zhou Bo untied the letter tied to Fei Nu's leg, and then handed Fei Nu into the hands of the guards around him.
"The Xiongnu army appeared a hundred miles northwest of Suzhou County, less than fifty miles away from the Yuezhi Prince's children. Please ask two armies to rush to the rescue. It will be the beginning of the 20th."
After reading this sentence in the letter, Zhou Bo asked the guard to take out the map of Hexi. Zhou Bo looked at the map carefully. After a few seconds, he found the place mentioned in the letter on the map. Zhou Bo took out the charcoal
I marked it on the map with an ink pen, then took out a ruler and measured it in detail.
After a while, Zhou Bo put away the map in his hand, and then began to issue military orders to the generals around him: "Everyone, the Huns army is sixty miles ahead. According to the information in this letter, it is inferred that the Huns have probably discovered Prince Yuezhi.
We have found traces of our children, and the situation is critical. We must rush to meet the children of Prince Yuezhi before the Huns do, otherwise something will happen."
Before setting off, Zhou Bo also sent messengers to another Huben army to inform them of the news about the Xiongnu.
