After Weng Zhong returned to Didao City, he did not wash off the blood stains on his body, so he went to the top of the city with murderous intent. He kept watching the Huns cavalry chasing the Yuezhi people from a distance until the Huns cavalry withdrew their troops and returned to the camp.
Weng Zhong was relieved.
At this time Weng Zhong also realized that the people he was fighting were probably not the Huns at all but the Yuezhi people in the west of Longxi. However, the Huns who were still in Jiuyuan did not know why they came to Longxi to copy the Yuezhi people.
There was no way out, and what happened was just right...
Seeing the Xiongnu army setting up camp one after another, Weng Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and before turning to go down to the city, he told the captain who was following him: "You must not slack off tonight. Report any situation of the Huns to this general immediately."
"Here!"
Unfortunately, what Weng Zhong didn't know was that Mao Dun was more worried about being attacked by the Qin army at night, so he set up camp less than twenty miles away from Didao City in broad daylight just for the sake of doing something.
Show this to the Qin army in Didao City.
Mao Dun knew that every one of his 200,000 troops was exhausted. If he allowed them to rest, they would probably fall to the ground immediately. If the Qin army attacked the camp at night, they would probably not encounter any resistance at all.
So Mao Dun first acted like he was planning to set up camp, and when it got completely dark at night, he quietly led his 200,000 troops out of Longxi territory overnight, and then began to set up camp again to let the 200,000 troops rest.
Of course, when the 200,000 troops left the camp, even if the horses were muzzled and their hooves were wrapped with cloth, they couldn't be completely silent. The unusual movements in the Xiongnu camp made the night watch soldiers on the city wall very nervous. They hurriedly reported the news and never slept.
Weng Zhong.
However, when Weng Zhong arrived at the top of the city, the Xiongnu camp was quiet again, and there was no sign of an overnight attack on the city.
Weng Zhong glanced at the depressed captain next to him, and said angrily: "Open your eyes wider. If there is any movement by the Huns, report it to me immediately! Don't worry!"
"Here!" the captain bowed quickly and said.
That night, even if the captain opened his eyes and looked at it, the Huns camp was always dark, as if it was a dead place.
In the morning, when it was not too bright, Weng Zhong got up early and went to the top of the city.
The captain on duty at night stared with red eyes. When he saw Weng Zhong coming up to him, Weng Zhong asked before the captain could say anything: "The Huns didn't move at all last night?"
"Back to the general, the Huns haven't made any noise since the last time they called the general!" The captain stared at him all night.
Looking at the captain's red eyes, Weng Zhong nodded and said: "You go and have a rest, I will personally guard it."
"General, I will never be tired!"
"Go as soon as I tell you to do so. You'll be chattering like a girl! Roll, roll, roll!" Weng Zhong stretched out a palm as big as a cattail leaf fan to slap him.
The captain was like a child in front of Weng Zhong. He shrank his head and smiled gratefully at Weng Zhong, then turned around and quickly left the tower.
Weng Zhong turned around and faced the snickering soldiers at the top of the city, laughing and scolding: "Are you laughing so hard? Why don't you get out of here? Do you want me, the general, to send you off to the city?"
When the soldiers who had been guarding the city wall all night heard Weng Zhong's laughter and curses, they laughed and swarmed down the tower to go to sleep. Naturally, Weng Zhong's personal guards were on duty in their vacant positions.
Weng Zhong had been watching the Xiongnu camp from the city wall, but until the sun reached midday, the Xiongnu camp was still completely silent. No matter how enlightened Weng Zhong was, he realized something was wrong at this time.
It was impossible for the Huns not to have a single person come out to move around until noon, let alone an army of hundreds of thousands.
Weng Zhong called two personal guards and said: "Go to the Xiongnu camp to investigate. Remember if the Xiongnu makes any move, report to the general immediately. Don't get too close."
"Here!" The two guards turned around and headed down to the city.
"Wait a minute!" Weng Zhong thought for a while and felt uneasy. He stopped the two guards and turned around and ordered a captain who had been following him: "You will defend the city and close the city gate. I, the general, will go and investigate in person."
."
"General..." The captain was startled and wanted to dissuade him.
Weng Zhong turned around and glared, and immediately suppressed the captain's words. Then Weng Zhong turned around and took the two previous guards down to the city.
"Alas!" The captain sighed helplessly and said to a soldier beside him: "After the general leaves the city, you take a few soldiers to open the city gate and guard it beside the city gate, ready to let the general enter the city at any time."
"Here!"
…
Weng Zhong is still on foot here. With his height, it is estimated that it is difficult to find a horse or mount that can be used by him. Although he is on foot, his speed is not much slower than the two mounted guards.
The three of them came straight to the Huns camp without any trace of concealment.
Until Weng Zhong and the others were less than fifty steps away from the Xiongnu camp, there was still no movement in the entire Xiongnu camp. Weng Zhong ignored the dissuasion of the two guards and went straight to the entrance of the Xiongnu camp, only to find that except for some tents
, at this moment the entire Xiongnu camp was deserted.
Thinking back last night, when the captain heard the movements of the Huns camp, it must have been that the Huns were abandoning the camp.
The two guards who had originally been unable to dissuade Weng Zhong and had no choice but to follow also discovered this situation. They shouted happily: "General, the Huns have escaped!"
"Noisy! Can't this general see it? Go back to the city!" Weng Zhong glared at the two of them and said.
"Here!" The two guards whispered quickly, not knowing what had happened to the general.
After returning to Didao City, Weng Zhong did not immediately send someone to take over the Huns' camp. Instead, he ordered his personal guards to be on strict guard and went to the governor's mansion alone. Li Xin's shogunate was also here.
The reason why they were still on tight alert was because they were worried that the Huns would try to kill them.
After listening to Weng Zhong's words, the county guards and officials in the shogunate agreed that they should immediately send out scouts to explore various places in Longxi. One day later, they confirmed that the Huns had really withdrawn their troops, and then sent a message to Jiuyuan and Xianyang to the generals.
In the evening, all the scouts who went out to investigate returned to Didao, and they all said that they did not find any Huns in Longxi.
Only then did Weng Zhong quickly send a message to Xianyang and Jiuyuan about the Longxi army's defeat of the Yueshi, who killed more than ten thousand enemies, and the appearance of the Xiongnu army in Longxi.
It was the evening of April 22nd in the first year of the Second Qin Dynasty.
Meng Yi, who encountered a messenger from Jiuyuan delivering Xianyang military information on the way, rushed to Jiuyuan City in a hurry. Not long after Meng Yi arrived, he received urgent military information from Weng Zhong about the appearance of the Xiongnu army in Longxi.
Although Meng Yi had never led troops to fight, it did not mean that he did not understand military affairs. From the military information from Longxi, he immediately guessed the purpose of the Huns' army going south this time. It was not to go south to capture Jiuyuan, but to solve the problem.
The Yuezhi to the west of the Xiongnu.
In Meng Yi's view, the Yueshi have definitely been eliminated by Moton, so who will be the next target of the Xiongnu?
Meng Yi searched along Da Qin's map, and finally fixed his eyes on a certain location.
"Come here, let the Eagle Soldier report this urgent military information to His Majesty immediately." Meng Yi handed the military information containing his guess to Long Weidao, who was sent by Hu Hai next to him.
The hawks specially sent by Hu Hai caught up with Meng Yi four days after Meng Yi left Xianyang. The appearance of the white paper made Meng Yi's awe of Hu Hai even deeper, so even though he knew that Hu Hai sent Long Wei to him
What was the purpose of keeping them around? But after arriving in Jiuyuan, Meng Yi still took these ten dragon guards with him and did not choose any other personal guards.
