Chapter 166 Fighting the Huns Again

Just when Chu State was having a big battle with Qi and Zhao, and then there were internal disputes, Fusu, who originally wanted to reap the benefits of the fishermen, didn't mind it. The negative side of his capture of the northern counties was also revealed at this time, because

The Huns' cavalry has begun to raid Shanggu and other major northern counties.

In Shangjun, Fusu, Mengtian and others are discussing this matter. Fusu is sitting at the top, and below are Mengtian, Meng Yi, Chen Ping, Han Xin and others. Meng Yi came from Beidi County. Everyone

Spread in front of him was a leather map of the landforms and locations of the northern counties. This was what Fusu ordered people to draw after taking those counties, in order to avoid the Huns one day.

If there will be a sudden attack, we should prepare early. At this time, Meng Yi was pointing to the Beidi County he ruled: "Half a month ago, three thousand Huns launched an attack on our Beidi County without fear of death.

, Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of Beidi County used their lives, and their number was not too large, so they were killed and retreated. Unexpectedly, several other counties were also attacked by the Huns. It seems that there must be something fishy."

Fusu smiled and said: "General Meng is in Beidi County and is not very clear about the news we know. In fact, we have always been aware of the whereabouts of the Huns. It's just that they come and go too fast and we don't have time to notify Beidi County in time."

It’s just you.”

Seeing the puzzled look on Meng Yi's face, Meng Tian explained: "Since the prince thought of using pigeons to deliver messages, we have spread many spies all over the world, from Xianyang, the capital of Qin, in the west, to Linzi, Qi State in the east, and to Linzi in the south.

The counties of Chu, and the Xiongnu in the north. Although the Huns live by water and grass, and their whereabouts are always uncertain, we can still grasp some major events within them. For example, there was a rebellion within the Xiongnu a few years ago, and Shan Yutouman was

His son Maodun was killed, and we learned the news not long afterward. But this time the Huns came to invade our border, and the news was conveyed not long after they sent troops, but they wanted to plunder

We didn’t know which county it was, so we were a little slow.”

Meng Yi was very impressed and said: "I didn't expect the prince to have such foresight and foresight. Meng Yi really admires me."

Fusu smiled and said: "General Meng, don't listen to what your brother said. In fact, I just thought of a way. The ones who really put it into operation are those spies who are in danger of their lives at any time when they go to other places for us. Okay, let's

Don't talk about it. Now we have received the battle report. Not only Beidi County was attacked by the Huns, but Shanggu, Yanmen, and Yunzhong counties were also attacked by the Huns. Although the invading Huns were not too large.

There are many, but it is also a real headache. According to various intelligence sources, these invading Huns were all figures who used to dominate the grasslands, but were beaten by Moton and could no longer survive in their own territory, so they came

Come to the border of our great Qin to plunder."

Before Fusu finished speaking, Zhou Xingdao on the side said: "I wonder why the Huns have already attacked the border now at the turn of summer and autumn. I think back then, the Huns invaded the border areas in winter or early spring, and the food on their grasslands

When there was no way to continue, it turned out that the defeated generals of Maodun came to our side and ran wild, it was really abominable!"

"Yes, they could no longer live on the grassland, so they had to come to the edge of the Great Wall to plunder our towns in the Central Plains." Fusu patted the large border road with his hand, "But fortunately they are on the grassland.

They have already suffered great damage. In addition, they are not subordinate to each other, and some even have hatred. Therefore, several forces did not join together. Otherwise, as long as they join forces to attack one of the counties, that county will

I can’t hold on any longer.”

Han Xin said: "The prince is right. These Huns are fighting independently now, but after these several defeats, I am afraid that the knowledgeable people among them will discover this mistake and unite to attack us.

Then the northern counties will be in danger."

Fusu nodded in agreement and said: "So this time we have to find a way to solve this problem, otherwise it will hinder our next action to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains."

Chen Ping, who had been silent, looked at the route of the Huns marked on the map and said: "Prince, we have always focused on defense against the Huns. Why not take the initiative this time and annihilate them outside the city?"

This sentence shocked everyone present. Meng Tian smiled bitterly and said: "Back then, Emperor Qin Shihuang sent me to lead an army of 300,000 to conquer the Huns. However, although the Huns were driven hundreds of miles away, their vitality was still there.

There was no major damage. The reason is that all the Huns were cavalry, and the grassland was too vast, so our army could not catch up. So in the end we just drove them away, without causing any real harm to them.

Damage. Now it is not easy for us to actively look for them."

Fusu looked at Meng Tian with a look of helplessness and said: "General Meng seems to have forgotten what we just said. These Huns now were driven out of the grassland by Moton, otherwise they would not be in this most suitable place for cattle and sheep."

They come out to attack us during the growing season. So this time they can’t run into our army and then rush into the depths of the grassland so that we can’t find them. Once they have to fight us head-on, our army will be able to hit them hard. As for

What you just said is that we are afraid that our army will not be able to defeat the Huns in riding skills. You can rest assured. In recent days, we have trained a large number of cavalry. It is just right to try these Huns, and the soldiers summoned from Shanggu and other counties are here.

Their riding skills are not inferior to those of the Huns. So this time we will definitely be able to kill the Huns' invading enemies so that they will not dare to come to our land again."

Han Xin hurriedly supported Fusu and said: "What the prince said is absolutely true. The Huns came to us this time because of the lack of food. Now is the time when their fighting spirit is at its weakest. As long as they are found, they will be annihilated.

It’s just that we must act quickly and eliminate the most powerful teams among them before they have time to unite. Only in this way can we not be afraid of them being forced to unite.”

Meng Tian thought for a while and finally agreed with Fusu and Han Xin's statement: "What you said is not unreasonable. We do have the strength and opportunity to get rid of those Huns. But the problem now is how to find them.

Well, since the defeat in Beidi County, they no longer attack large cities, but instead attack villages that are not guarded by humans, and they leave after a battle."

"We need to think about it carefully." Fusu kept sliding his finger on the map. "Spies from all over the country have reported that these Huns frequently appear in the area from Jiuyuan to Shanggu, and the largest number of them are in Yunzhong County.

.Apparently most of them are stationed near Yunzhong County, but the soldiers guarding the city do not dare to go out of the city to investigate easily. Now we will go to Yunzhong County to find them!"

"But there are vast grasslands outside Yunzhong County, how can we find it at the moment?" Meng Yi also said a little confused.

"It's difficult for us to find them, but we can ask them to come to us." Han Xin said confidently, "As long as we transport all the people and food around Yunzhong County into the city, we will leave only one place with food.

I think the Huns will rush to plunder the place out of desperation, and then we can defeat them one by one." Seeing that everyone was still puzzled, Han Xin had to continue: "It seems that you are afraid of leaving only

The Huns will gather together to attack us at the next place. In fact, you can rest assured. From these chaotic attacks, I can see that although many of them are near Yunzhong County, there is still a certain distance between them.

And once they learn that there is food only there, they will definitely rush to that place. After all, they have not really seen the strength of our army, and they will come even if they are afraid of our army's trap."

Only then did everyone understand Han Xin's strategy, and they all praised him, thinking that this was a good opportunity to get rid of the Huns.

In the next few days, Fusu began to secretly transfer troops to the direction of Yunzhong County, but there were differences on the generals who would lead the troops. The main reason was that Fusu also wanted to lead the troops in person, but Meng Tian and others did not.

They strongly opposed it. In their view, Fusu was the master after all, how could he be allowed to always lead troops to fight, so everyone persuaded Fusu to stay in Shangjun, while Han Xin, Meng Tian and others led the troops to invade the future.

The Huns were removed. After several major arguments, Fusu finally listened to the opinions of the soldiers and decided to stay in Shangjun City.

When everything was ready, Meng Tian and others set off to the clouds. Fusu and Chen Ping were the only ones left in Shangjun. Looking at the empty city after they left, Fusu said with regret: "I

If we persist a little longer, we may be able to lead troops to fight against the Huns."

"The prince is our coach, how can we take risks easily? The previous few expeditions have made everyone panic," Chen Ping advised.

Now Fusu finally understood the helplessness of being a coach. At this moment, Peng Hong ran over with a bamboo pipe: "Prince, there is news from Chu Di."

"Oh? Could it be that the Chu people were dissatisfied with the defeat of Qi and sent troops to attack?" Fusu guessed as he opened the silk book in the bamboo tube and read it. After a while, he said: "It seems that this time we

We must fight quickly to defeat the Huns, and the war in the Central Plains is probably about to begin."

Chen Ping strangely took the silk book from Fusu's hand. After reading it, his face was full of disbelief: "The Xiang family has always been loyal to the Chu State. Back then, Xiang Yan defended Shouchun and eventually died in harmony with the city. Unexpectedly, today's Xiang

It’s really surprising that the descendants of the clan openly opposed the King of Chu and even rebelled.”

Fusu knew from history that Xiang Yu did not pay attention to the King of Chu at all, and even seemed to kill the King of Chu in the end. Now it seems that he just rebelled a step faster than in history, which is not too unexpected, so

Said: "This is also due to the current situation. Once Qi, Zhao, Qin and other countries learn about the bamboo pipes, they will definitely take the opportunity to use troops against Chu. This is a good opportunity for us to display our ambitions. So we immediately ordered that as long as we
Chapter completed!
