General Qin

Shiwei is in September, and the sequence belongs to Sanqiu.

In the early morning, the big river was covered with a thin layer of veil, the river was surging, and there were bursts of air-conditioning. In the wilderness of Henan, one after another, the Qin army camps were neatly arranged according to their respective camps.

Zhao Tuo, with Chen Ping, Fan Kuai, Cao Can and other cronies, stood in front of the silt of the big river and was seeing one person off.

"Don't worry, General. In the past, I was almost killed by the Tian family in the main hall of the Qi Palace. I was still able to fight back and persuaded him to bow his head and surrender. Qi is a great country in the world, and I have played with it between my lips and tongue. I am a mere Hun." Bang, a barbarian, what can you do to me, a drunkard in Gaoyang?"

Li Shiqi showed pride on his face, and his courage permeated his body.

Zhao Tuo felt helpless.

Li Shiqi's words of comfort did not stand up to scrutiny.

Qi State is a state of etiquette, and it was besieged by the Qin army at that time. Qi Wangjian and Xiangbang Tianjia both had the heart to bow their heads and surrender, so naturally they didn't dare to do anything to Li Shiqi.

But the Xiongnu were unruly barbarians, and their leader, Tou Manchanyu, was deceived miserably in Daidi. When he saw Li Shiqi, he probably wanted to eat his flesh and lay his skin on the spot. How could he reason with him? .

Zhao Tuo was determined not to let Li Shiqi go, but this Gaoyang drinker was also a stickler. He said that Qin had destroyed the world, and now there were not many enemies for the Qin army to fight. Li Shiqi wanted to make meritorious service and be promoted to noble , we must seize every available opportunity.

"A man lives in the world, if he cannot eat five tripods in life, he will cook his ears with five tripods in death!"

Li Shiqi once again took out the words he said outside Linzi, the capital of Qi, full of pride.

At the same time, he also gave the reasons why he was able to retreat unscathed.

"If the Xiongnu is just a tyrannical and mediocre king with no foresight, I naturally dare not risk my life."

"But according to my previous observations, this Mandan is a very ambitious hero. I heard that in order to avoid Donghu's attack, he gave his beloved Yan family and his beloved horse to the king of Donghu, and even used his own son as a gift. As a hostage, such a hero who can bend and stretch will not kill me without meeting, as long as he gives me a chance to speak, my life will be safe."

Zhao Tuo was silent.

He thought of Li Shiqi's fate in history.

Zhao Tuo understood.

These people who are right and wrong are all of the same temperament.

In the past, after Zhang Yi teased King Huai of Chu, knowing that the other party wanted to kill him, he dared to re-enter Chu, and finally retreated unscathed. This is an example.

These people, what they play is heartbeat.

What I enjoy is the thrill of dancing on the tip of a knife and gaining fame and fortune.

And what Li Shiqi said was right. Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. They don't know the specific situation of the Xiongnu now. If they can get their information, or even design it from it, the chances of winning this war will naturally increase greatly.

Zhao Tuo could only nod in response.

At this moment, on the banks of the great river, it was time to see off.

Infected by Li Shiqi's arrogance, Fan Kui's face turned red, and he couldn't help shouting: "Mr. is so brave, I, Fan Kui, like it!"

After speaking, Fan Kui turned around and knelt down towards Zhao Tuo, and said loudly: "General, Fan Kui is willing to go to the Huns camp with Mr. Li, and protect him with my life!"

Everyone was startled.

After Li Shiqi was astonished, he laughed: "You are brave. There are thousands of Huns on the other side. Even if you are strong and brave, you may be difficult to defeat tens of thousands by yourself. You are not afraid of losing your life by following me!" ?"

Fan Kui patted his chest and laughed loudly: "There is nothing to be afraid of. At worst, I will kill him in and out of the Huns' camp. I dare not say anything else. Kill ten or twenty Huns and die. It can be done!"

Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Shiqi and Fan Kui.

A strategist and lobbyist, a first-time fierce general.

If there is an accident, it will be a big loss.

Just looking at the appearance of the two disregarding life and death, Zhao Tuo's blood couldn't help but boil.

Both of them had heroic spirit, if he, Zhao Tuo, was timid, he would lose his heroic spirit.

Not to mention this matter, it is not inevitable.

Zhao Tuo nodded: "Since that's the case, then Fan Kui will escort Mr. Li across the river."

He didn't give too many orders, but he spoke in a deep voice before the two left.

"Remember, behind you, I have the great Qin to rely on. If the Huns dare to hurt you in the slightest, Zhao Tuo will lead the Great Qin Iron Cavalry to stampede them out, let the blood flow from the north to the south of the Yin Mountain, and let him be the Huns. Genocide extermination!"

Zhao Tuo's voice was low, but his tone was firm and domineering.

Everyone's body was shocked, and they all felt their blood boil.

Li Shiqi and Fan Kui's hearts were even more warm.

"With the words of the general, why should we be afraid!"

"Da Qin is our reliance, and there are all nations in this world, where can't we go!"

The two laughed, and their hearts were full of confidence. They stepped on the ferry boat built overnight by the Qin army, and headed to the other side of the river. They were accompanied by several small boats and twenty elite soldiers of the Qin army.

Watching the flat boat swaying in the river, heading for the opposite bank.

Chen Ping took the palm and said with sincere admiration: "It's no wonder that Mr. Li can make such a great achievement. This is really amazing courage!"

Zhao Tuo nodded and said: "Of course, Mr. Li is full of courage, and he is not inferior to the brave generals of the world."

After everyone praised him, Zhao Tuo looked at Xiao He who was following him, and asked, "Xiao Changshi, how long will it take for the boat master to arrive?"

As the commander-in-chief of General Shi, Xiao He is in charge of all the logistics in the army. After a little thought and calculation, he said: "It takes about three to five days for our Great Qin Boat Division to arrive."

Zhao Tuo nodded.

The Qin army has always relied on water transportation to transport food and fodder soldiers during conquests, which can greatly save manpower and material resources.

This time the capture of Henan land was naturally calculated.

Before the start of the war, Taiwei's Mansion used Wuzhi and other border military merchants to find out whether the big river surrounding Henan could be passed by large ships.

The answer is that except for a few sections of the river where there are hidden reefs, the river is wide and has a huge amount of water, which is suitable for boats to navigate. The Rong people and Huns here also often use sheepskin rafts to cross the river.

Therefore, when Zhao Tuo was training cavalry in Beidi County, Qiang Li in Longxi County was not idle. He was in charge of supervising shipbuilding.

Although Qiang Lu was unreliable when intercepting the Yuezhi people, he did not fail in the shipbuilding matter.

After several months of preparation, a large number of boat divisions were created for the army, and at the moment they were transporting a large amount of supplies, food, fodder, weapons and equipment from the upper reaches of the river.

After all, the army needs to cross a large desert from Helan to the north, and the heavy equipment is naturally not easy to carry, so it can only be transported by boat divisions.

When the boat division arrived with a large amount of equipment and supplies, the Qin army could cross the river and attack the Huns at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.

Zhao Tuo raised the binoculars and saw that the flat boat carrying Li Shiqi and Fan Kui was about to reach the other side of the river amidst the tumbling waves.

...

To the north of the big river, there is a piece of fertile grassland not far away, where felt tents are everywhere, and Hun cavalry are shuttled everywhere.

Hearing that the Qin army had arrived on the south bank of the river, Touman Shanyu naturally couldn't sit comfortably in the city of Touman. He led the army to station near the river, and dispatched scouts to patrol along the river to keep an eye on the movements of the Qin people.

If the Qin people were found to be crossing the river, Touman Shanyu didn't mind attacking them halfway across the river.

"The Qin army is powerful because of their strong bows and crossbows, strong armor and sharp blades. On the grassland, their cavalry is far from the opponent of our grassland people. Our Yueshi warriors are enough to match three Qin cavalry. Yu Wan must not attack the Qin army's infantry, but should use the advantages of our grassland people to win with cavalry."

Su Jiasha was dressed in a red robe and gorgeous gold ornaments on her head, making her even more radiant. At this moment, in Touman Chanyu's felt tent, she began to talk about how to deal with the Qin army.

Touman Shanyu nodded slightly, but did not speak.

On the contrary, Zuo Guli King Wu Luxu, who was also discussing matters in the tent, couldn't sit still, and he looked at Su Jiasha viciously.

Whenever he looked at this Yuezhi woman, he thought that he had an advantage in the battle with Touman Shanyu, but he didn't notice for a while, and was taken by the Yuezhi people, so he had no way to retreat, so he could only The tragic deeds of Xiang Touman Shanyu's surrender.

With resentment in his heart, Wu Luxu couldn't help sneering: "You Yuezhi people are so powerful, one can beat three Qin people, why are you chased away by the Qin people? What qualifications does the Qin people have when they are defeated by the Huns?" Talk on the ground."

Su Jiasha was not angry, but smiled at Wu Luxu: "The reason why our Yue clan was defeated by the Qin people is precisely because the Qin army was afraid of our cavalry. That's why they sent envoys to lure Xihou, making us The Qin people's night attack plan, suffered heavy losses and retreated one after another. If the Qin people were really sure to deal with us on the frontal battlefield, they would not use such treacherous tricks."

Hearing these words, Tou Manchan nodded again and again, deeply sympathetic.

Yes, the reason why he failed in Dai was because he believed the lies of the Qin people and was defeated by the Qin people with a night attack.

Isn't the reason why the Qin people engaged in sneak attacks because their cavalry could not defeat the grassland cavalry in a frontal battle?

"Damn people from Qin, this time I will never be fooled by you again!"

Thinking of the tragic past, Touman Shanyu couldn't help but think of the smiling Qin envoy Li Shiqi.

It was he who tricked the great Gutu Shanyu.

"If Ben Shanyu sees you again, he must skewer you and roast you over the fire!"

Touman Shanyu gritted his teeth.

Outside the tent, a nobleman from the Huns walked over quickly.

"Da Chanyu, the people of Qin sent envoys across the river to see Da Chanyu!"
