Chapter 750 Overture to the General Attack
The Shanyu's troops stayed twenty miles away, which made Han Anguo extremely uncomfortable. His hands were limited, and it was not easy for the Xiongnu who were good at fighting outside the city. It was difficult to trick the Xiongnu into Mayi. If he could not be taken away in one fell swoop, it would be heartbreaking.
Li Danghu and Wei Qing were also helpless. They were ambushing and attacking. If the Xiongnu Khan had been wandering around like this, they would have to send someone to watch, and inadvertently reduced their strength.
Gongsun He said: "Why don't you solve Shanyu first and then turn around and focus on dealing with those guys in Mayi City?"
Li Danghu shook his head: "No, as long as we show up, we must have a decisive battle. For the sake of a Shanyu, we can fight for Mayi first, so that the thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of victims of Shanyu cannot escape the palms of General Li and General Cheng."
Wei Qing didn't say anything, quietly looking at the map in front of him. Han Anguo asked, "What do General Wei Qing have?"
Wei Qing pondered for a long time and held his hands in front of his chest: "If Mr. Han and you all believe me, I am willing to lead the troops of our troops to block Shanyu."
"What?" Gongsun He screamed in shock: "Your troops are less than a thousand, and you still have to fight against the Huns on the grassland? You must know that Shanyu has five thousand soldiers and tens of thousands of victims in his hands. Everyone knows that there is food in Mayi. These people will go crazy when they see you. Bragging is not like this!
Wei Qing said: "If it was a long time, if you could get rid of the troops in Mayi City within three or five hours, I, Wei Qing, would definitely be able to block the Xiongnu Shanyu!"
Han Anguo raised his hand to stop Li Danghu and Gongsun He's speeches. After watching Wei Qing for a long time, he slowly pulled out a command arrow: "There must be no mistakes when leading the troops of Wei Qing to block Shanyu for three hours!"
Wei Qing stepped forward, took the command arrow with both hands, and sang a promise loudly.
Han Anguodao: "General Wei Qing will prepare now, please take care of whatever you need!"
Wei Qing took the order and left, and the people in the tent began to discuss the battle again. Only Li Danghu and Gongsun He were not there. Wei Qing went to settle the Shanyu matter, and Han Anguo quickly arranged the rest of the matter. Whoever blocked, attacked, whoever guerrillas, and whoever covered them. The infantry and horses took over their tasks step by step, and went down to prepare as required.
Li Danghu is the main attacker, earlier than Gongsun He came out. When Gongsun He came out, Li Danghu stood outside the tent. Gongsun He hurried to Li Danghu: "What's wrong with Brother Wei? Everyone knows that blocking the Xiongnu Khan is a tough guy. He will not send many people. He actually wants to complete it with the one thousand troops in his hands?"
Li Danghu glanced at Gongsun He and sighed: "Brother Wei has no choice. The burden on him is too heavy. Think about it, he was originally a slave, and he was able to get an official position with Mrs. Wei. Although Brother Wei made a lot of efforts in the Lingnan War, he was covered up by Brother Su's light. This time it was also an opportunity. If he could not show it, his path would be difficult to walk."
"What's there? Your Majesty is behind you and Brother Su in front of you. Who can't help him with me? One day there will be an opportunity for him to show his talent, so why take such a risk?"
Li Danghu shook his head: "Do you think anyone is as shameless as you?"
As soon as Wei Qing returned to the tent, he immediately brought people to busy. This adventure was indeed the reasons mentioned by Li Danghuo. More importantly, after coming to Mayi, the people of Gongshuo stayed in Wei Qing's camp. Perhaps because of their bad background, Gongshuo Zhi and Wei Qing had a good relationship. This time, when he went to Gongshuo Zhi, he took out the bottom of Gongshuo Zhi's box, and several of them were completely cavalry nemesis, so Wei Qing had such a passion.
"Brother Gongshu, I have asked the general for his order to stop the Shanyu army and the tens of thousands of refugees. Your things are useful!" Wei Qing had an excited smile on his face, looking very relaxed.
Gongshuzhi nodded and smiled, "Since that's the case, I'll order people to build it overnight."
"If you have any work, you will lose your money!"
After dismissing the Gongshu Track, Wei Qing sat in his commander position. The people who followed him were basically prepared by the emperor's brother-in-law for him, including some county soldiers drawn from Shu County. It is said that these people, led by Su Ren, eliminated the bandits around Shu County. Although there was no war in Shu County over the years, these county soldiers had to protect the two business roads, and were basically all people who had seen blood.
Li Cheng was already the commander of Shu County, in charge of all the county soldiers of Shu County, and even Sun Ermazi and others were under his control. After several years of growth, the timid army Sima had a certain general style. When he came, Li Cheng personally wanted Su Ren to write a letter to report the matter. Su Ren was happy for Li Cheng. As long as he could make great contributions in Mayi this time, he might be transferred to the Southern Army or the Northern Army.
Li Cheng heard what Wei Qing said and came forward to report: "General, don't worry, we have served the general!"
Wei Qing was very satisfied with Li Cheng, not only because he was formerly a former subordinate of Su Ren, but also because of Li Cheng's work in the old city. There are many things he did not expect, and Li Cheng can do for him: "If I am lucky enough to die this time, I will definitely recommend you to Your Majesty!"
"General Thank you!"
Wei Qing nodded: "Go down and prepare. The army will launch an attack in three days. Send more scouts to understand the recent situation of Shanyu. This is very important to us."
The kings were happy when the Shanyu did not advance. Although the Shanyu did not last long, the Shanyu was still more respectful on the surface. After occupying Mayi, the kings received unimaginable property and naturally had to send some to the Shanyu. A truckload of grain was sent to the Shanyu tent twenty miles away, but there were few cloth, salt, and even gold and silver.
The Shanyu did not blame those people for this. He came to Mayi just to find food for 100,000 people. Since this matter has been reached, the more kings asked for would never agree. The Shanyu did not advance to the army, and the kings were blinded by the interests, so the Shanyu had to sit for them. Even if this was really the trap of the Su people, with the 5,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of refugees in his hands, he could still tear a hole in the encirclement of the Han people.
Moreover, at this time, the Shanyu hoped that the Han people would attack those unsubmitted people. When they could not break through the siege of the Han army, they would take action to rescue them. Those guys would never be able to exchange this kindness for the rest of their lives.
As night fell, Shanyu hid in a fur and nestled on a bed with no lights in his tent, only a few braziers were lit. The weather was warming up, which was a good phenomenon. When the grass grew, the cattle and sheep on the grass would naturally hide. By then, 100,000 victims would become his people, and his tribe would reappear the scenery of his father's khan back then, and he would no longer have to worry about the hungry wolf's spying on him.
When I feel better, I will naturally drink more. The sour horse milk wine with a sour taste is not a trace of sourness. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the strong fragrance of the horse milk wine, but I didn't even hear the sound of the commander entering the tent.
"Reporting to the Shanyu, the scout found that there were Han soldiers and horses in the east of Mayi, with a number of about 10,000 people. The specific whereabouts are still being investigated!"
Shanyu smiled and waved his hand to let the messenger go down. It was indeed a trap for the Han people, and it was the best way to do this. Since the Han people had already taken action, they would save themselves from going to Yanmen Pass to make trouble. Not everyone could sing the long tunes of the Huns, and then the people who were good at singing on the grassland could have the charm of the long tunes. It was strange that Shanyu was such a person. When he first heard the Han army moving around them, Shanyu unconsciously sang a few songs, which caused all his generals to flatter him.
Shanyu waved his hand: "No need to compliment Ben Shanyu. Since the Han people have arrived, this battle is probably inevitable. Strengthen the camp immediately and prepare the troops. As long as there is danger in Mayi, we will send troops immediately!"
A general frowned: "Why should Shanyu care about those unfaithful to you? It is best for the Han people to teach them a lesson!"
Shanyu smiled and said, "All the descendants of Changshengtian. You can't stand by death and don't help me. Go down and prepare!"
The general took two steps and turned around and asked, "So should we tell those guys about this news?"
Shanyu didn't say anything, but just waved his hand to let the general go out. This was very clear. It could not be said. Not only could it be said, but even the situation found by the scout could not be said explicitly.
Wei Qing lay down from the bushes, wearing a dark yellow cloak. This was what he thought of after hearing the word disguise from Su Ren. Not to mention, it worked very well. He only had 300 steps in the Shanyu camp now, and the walking Xiongnu soldiers could not even find him. Li Cheng lay beside Wei Qing, pointed to the camp and whispered to Wei Qing. A pair of Xiongnu patrol soldiers came from a distance, and the two hurriedly buried their heads under the dark yellow cloak, and said no more.
The location of this camp was carefully chosen by them. They came here while the night was dark last night and entered the hidden place that had been prepared long ago. In fact, this was very dangerous. Once the Huns discovered it, they would not even have a chance to escape. If they wanted to retreat, they could only wait until dark.
The Shanyu camp was very authentic, and the Han people could be seen vaguely. The guard posts around and the soldiers patrolling back and forth were all full of energy, and they were many times better than the way the kings did in Mayi City. Since entering this hidden place in the morning, they had been seeing the sunset. The dry food and clear water brought by the two had been drunk. They were just waiting for the sun to set and they were about to touch them back quietly. At this moment, Li Cheng poked Wei Qing hard and pointed to the Shanyu's tent.
As soon as the ox horn sounded, the Huns officers wearing armor walked in one after another. Li Cheng frowned: "General, it seems that the Huns have discovered our army. The Shanyu is already preparing, but why didn't they see the horses he sent to Mayi to deliver the letter?"
