General Qin

Chapter 578: The Wolf King Takes the Bait

"Qin General Zhao Tuo led an army to approach Helan. After the two sides fought, Zhao Tuo sent envoys to pretend to negotiate peace with the Yueshi. He wanted to exchange his troops for a piece of land in the south of the Yueshi."

"The Marquis of the Yue family was greedy for the things offered by the Qin people, and believed in Zhao Tuo. As a result, at the appointed time, the Qin army took advantage of the night to surprise him?"

Hearing the words from the scouts, Tou Manchanyu was a little dazed.

How did this matter become more and more familiar?

"Da Shanyu, this is indeed Qin General Zhao Tuo's trick. When he was in Daiguo, he dealt with us like this!"

"We Huns are just too simple. We believed the Qin envoy Li Shiqi's words and thought that the Qin people would keep their promises. In the end, we lost our defenses and were defeated by those despicable Qin people with night raids!"

Zuo Gudu Hou Huyan Tiao said while gritting his teeth.

Huyan Tiao still remembered the envoy named Li Shiqi, who smiled at him when he entered the camp, and privately gave him a pair of fine jade biscuits.

Huyan Tiao was still thinking that Li Shiqi was a good person, and planned to give him a few slaves in return after the transaction was completed.

As a result, within a few days, the Qin people broke the rules and attacked in the dark. The Xiongnu who beat them fled in a hurry, and the pair of jade discs were also left behind in the chaos. It's a pity to think about it now.

Touman Shanyu gave Huyan Tiao a hard look.

What this guy said made Da Shanyu dream back to the night in Daidi.

That was the pain that Tou Manchanyu would never want to recall.

But in this way, Touman Shanyu was convinced that there was nothing wrong with the Yuezhi people.

This kind of wicked thing is indeed what Zhao Tuo is capable of doing.

Moreover, the Qin people had few cavalry, and they were no match for the Yuezhi cavalry if they fought head-on. Only by using this kind of tactic can they win.

"This brat Zhao Tuo is indeed insidious and cunning. He used this trick against us Huns and then against the Yueshi. Hahaha, the Yueshi's brainless idiots deserve it!"

Tou Manchanyu laughed gleefully.

He was very happy and believed from the bottom of his heart that this was true.

Since the first battle of Daidi, he was put on the same side by Zhao Tuo, and this incident was often used by the opposition among the Xiongnu, such as King Zuoguli, to ridicule him, and took it as a case of attacking Touman Chanyu's prestige.

They said that Touman had no brains and was played around by the people of Qin.

Now what happened to the Yuezhi people can be regarded as a proof for the head Man Shanyu, and also shared the firepower of ridicule.

It's not that Tou Manchanyu has no brains, but that the Qin people are too cunning, didn't they see that the Yuezhi people also fell for the tricks of the Qin people?

He looked back at King Zuoguli, and jokingly said, "Wu Luxu, I didn't expect the Yuezhi people who took your pasture to be attacked by Qin Renye. It seems that there are too many brainless people in the world." .”

Wu Luxu had no expression on his face, knowing that Tou Manchanyu was mocking him.

The Yuezhi people have no brains, so he, the Zuoguli King who was attacked by the Yuezhi people and lost even the grazing land, is even more brainless.

But his current focus is not here, but on the group of Yuezhi people.

Wu Luxu gritted his teeth and said: "Da Chanyu, the Yuezhi people have always been at odds with us Huns, and they took our pasture south of the river, so they can be called enemies. Now they are defeated by the Qin army. Dog, we just tricked these Yuezhi people over and slaughtered them to avenge our hatred."

Touman Shanyu's face became serious.

Compared with the fact that the Xiongnu were only killed by the Qin army by 10,000 people, the price paid by the Yuezhi people was very miserable.

Because when the Xiongnu attacked Daidi, the clansmen stayed far away, and those who went south were all able-bodied people who could fight. Seeing that the situation was not good, they just fled. Therefore, the losses after being attacked by the Qin army were limited.

But after the Yue clan seized the Henan land, they brought tens of thousands of old and weak women and children of the entire tribe there to graze.

The Yuezhi were severely damaged by the night attack of the Qin army, and their army could not escape like the Xiongnu.

In order to protect the women, children, old and weak in the tribe, the Yuezhi people could only continue to fight the Qin army. Facing the strong bows and crossbows, strong armor and sharp blades of the Qin people, they suffered heavy losses.

It is said that even one of the Xihous was captured by the Qin people during the battle.

Under such a blow, Yuezhi's army could no longer resist, and could only flee for their lives by abandoning their clansmen and livestock.

But the Qin people occupy the passage leading to Hexi in the south, so these tens of thousands of Yuezhi people can't go south, they can only flee north in a hurry.

The army of the Qin people stationed in the north and responsible for blocking the great river went south after receiving the order to block these Yuezhi people.

It's just that the Yuezhi people who were blocked from the way of escape were like mad dogs, attacking frantically in order to survive.

In addition, they had a lot of cavalry, and the Qin army in the north had few cavalry. They were really killed by these Yuezhi people, causing them to rush to the vicinity of the big river.

After receiving the news, the small group of Qin troops who stayed near the big river knew that they were outnumbered. In order to prevent the food and grass from falling into the hands of the Yuezhi people, they threw all of them into the big river and fled on Qingqi.

Today, the scouts sent by Touman Shanyu to the south of Dahe River encountered this Yuezhi cavalry, which numbered around 20,000.

It was told by the leader of the Yuezhi that the Yuezhi people wanted to join the Xiongnu, and together they would deal with the Qin army chasing from behind.

The scouts brought back the meaning of the leader of the Yuezhi, accompanied by a Yuezhi envoy named Yaguda, who described the miserable experience of the Yuezhi people to Touman Shanyu in detail, and expressed the meaning of begging for refuge .

But now it was time for the Huns to discuss internally, so they temporarily took the messenger away.

Touman Chanyu needs to discuss with the nobles, what should the Huns do next.

At this time, there are three choices before the Huns.

One is to reject the Yuezhi people's refuge, block them on the south bank of the river, and sit back and watch them fight with the Qin army.

Another option is to agree to the request of the Yuezhi people to cross the river and seek refuge, let them come over, become allies, and then deal with the Qin army in the south together.

Now Zuoguli King Wuluxu proposed a third plan, to release these Yuezhi people first, and then annex them.

"Your eyes are blinded by hatred!"

"The Yuezhi people are not weak. Do you think that the 20,000 cavalrymen crossed the river without any defense against us? If we really wanted to fight, even if we could wipe them out, we Huns would lose a lot. In the end, it was all cheap. Qin army from the south."

With a sneer all over his face, Touman Chanyu scolded Wu Luxu.

This King Zuoguli was Touman Chanyu's political opponent, Da Chanyu would not agree with any of his opinions, and had to be severely reprimanded to go back.

Not to mention that this opinion is really a piece of shit in the eyes of Touman Shanyu, who only knows about revenge and ignores the overall situation.

Huyan Tiao immediately said: "Da Chanyu, then we will not agree to the request of these Yuezhi people, block them on the other side of the river, and let them fight with the Qin army. No matter who wins or loses, we will be the ones who will benefit in the end." This is exactly what the old King Yan said, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Let’s be the fisherman here!"

After Huyan Tiao finished speaking, she was triumphant, thinking that she must have said what Da Chanyu had in mind.

But Touman Chanyu was stunned, and reprimanded: "Short-sighted!"

"Now the Yuezhi people have been severely injured by the surprise attack of the Qin army. The number of them who fled to the riverside is only about 20,000, and they are all remnants and defeated soldiers. It is estimated that they don't even have much food. What can this kind of combat power do to the Qin people? Injury? When Zhao Tuo's army presses up, these Yuezhi people may not be able to kill many Qin troops, and they will be wiped out by Qin troops."

Speaking of this, Touman Shanyu's face became gloomy, and he roared: "The Qin army wiped out the Yue clan south of the big river, and we are across the big river. Do you think these Qin people will stop marching? ?”

The Xiongnu nobles were questioned by Da Shanyu, and after looking at each other in blank dismay, they all shook their heads.

The Qin army is too aggressive.

First they destroyed the six kingdoms in the east, and now they are attacking the Yue clan. It is said that Donghu in the east also confronted the Qin army. If the Qin army did not have the idea of ​​crossing the river after occupying Henan, these Xiongnu nobles must not believe it. of.

The Qin people are aggressive and cruel like tigers and wolves. They will definitely cross the river to rob them of the grasslands of the Huns.

Touman Chanyu saw the looks of the nobles, nodded in satisfaction, and said: "So for us Huns, the best choice now is to agree to the request of these Yuezhi people, let them cross the river, take them in, and we will make peace with them in the future." Together, they deal with the Qin people who are chasing them!"

"Yuezhi, the hungry dogs who have been robbed of their shelter and food, now seek support from us. As long as we open our arms to them and throw a few bones, we can take them for our own use and use them to deal with the even more vicious Qin. People, this kind of approach is the real visionary!"

Seeing that Touman Shanyu chose to take in Yuezhi.

King Zuoguli sneered and said: "Da Shanyu, these Yuezhi people are not just hungry dogs, they are also wolves on the grassland, you are not afraid of taking them in, and they will bite you back! Don't forget, Who took the land south of the great river from us."

Touman Chanyu sneered and said, "Wolf? No matter how vicious the prairie wolf is, in my hands, it will become a dog that gnaws bones obediently."

"These Yuezhi people were attacked by the Qin army, and their pastures and tribes were robbed. They have a deep hatred with the Qin people, so they will definitely help us fight the Qin army. Because they lost their livestock and tribes, and lacked food, so even if After crossing the great river, we can only rely on our Xiongnu for supply, we have mastered the only source of food for the Yuezhi!"

"Not to mention, we have 90,000 Xiongnu warriors here, so why are we afraid of 20,000 Yuezhi people?"

Touman Chanyu was very confident, and the words in his mouth made the nobles of the Huns nod repeatedly.

Knowing the food sources of the Yuezhi people, they can indeed treat those Yuezhi people as dogs.

There is nothing wrong with what Da Shanyu said.

Seeing the gloomy face of Zuo Guli King Wu Luxu, Tou Mandanyu laughed even more in his heart.

Why did he want to take in Yuezhi, apart from the aforementioned use to deal with the Qin army, the main reason is that Yuezhi robbed Wuluxu's pasture, and they were enemies.

Old Yan Wang said that the enemy of the enemy is a friend.

Now Touman Chanyu's prestige has plummeted, and his strength is not strong enough. Many people in the Huns do not accept him.

If he can control this Yuezhi army, subdue it, and use it as a real dog, then his strength will occupy an overwhelming advantage among the Huns.

The Yuezhi people's refuge was an opportunity for him, Touman Shanyu, to increase his strength.

Most of the choices people make are related to interests.

Favorable, choose.

Touman Shanyu's desire to subdue the Yuezhi became more and more intense after the Yuezhi people successfully crossed the river.

Because the leader of this remnant Yuezhi army turned out to be a beautiful woman!
