Chapter 208: Dark Fight
Modun glanced at Ji Du strangely. He didn't know why he was so rude, but he still explained: "It's not that I don't want to lead troops to attack the Central Plains, but the current situation no longer allows me to attack the Central Plains with all my strength. This time the army only has
More than a thousand Central Plains cavalry actually penetrated deeply into our
They were not found near the tent, which shows the weakness of our defense on the grassland. If we do not take this opportunity to annihilate them, when we lead the army to fight the Qin army, something big will happen to our rear. Even if we
Victory, but defeat on the rear is inevitable
It will cause hatred between various tribes. This is the first point. The second point is that after this incident, my momentum as a great chanyu will inevitably weaken. Even a small tribal leader like Natak dares to do so.
For me, and even want to control me, the leaders of other large tribes
What will be the reaction? Now only by recalling my own troops and completely getting rid of the Central Plains army can I re-establish my position on the grassland. So this time I can only put the plan to attack the Central Plains on hold for a while.
Only when all the tribes know how powerful I am can they send out troops."
Slowly, Ji Du also calmed down. He knew that what Mo Dun said was right, and that he had been too impatient just now. After following Mo Dun on the grassland for these years, Ji Du had already understood the rules of survival on the grassland.
, that is the law of the jungle, there is no loyalty here
This means that as long as you are strong enough, there will be many people attached to you, listening to your orders, and working for you. But if you are not strong enough, these people will leave you, or even replace you.
You. These things happen from time to time on the grassland. On the grassland
People also think that this is normal, and it is precisely because of this rule that Maodun can become a chanyu of the Huns after his father Touman. If in the Central Plains, anyone who dared to do this would be punished no matter what.
Even if you cover it up, some ministers will remain loyal to one person until death.
After thinking about this, Ji Du nodded understandingly and said: "What the Great Chanyu said is true. Now it is indeed necessary to unite the Xiongnu internally before going to the Central Plains. But I don't know when these warriors will arrive.
Are you coming? I'm afraid that Tucker will be harmful to the big buyer at any time."
Modun lifted up the corner of the tent curtain and looked outside and then said: "I think Tucker must be very hesitant now and doesn't know how to treat me. Although I don't have any soldiers in my hands now, over the years I have
The reputation he earned on the grassland was still there, and besides, he didn't believe in himself.
Because of his own strength, he didn’t dare to really attack me. But if he allowed me to meet my army, he would be a little unwilling, so he must not sleep well tonight. Hahahaha...
" At this point, Modu burst out laughing, as if he didn't care about his situation at all.
Ji Du also laughed. For the first time, he knew that Mao Dun was not a reckless man who only used force to gain power as he had seen before. It turned out that he was also rough and fine. Now he has completely reconciled with him.
This Mao Dun is connected, and we can only try our best to help him regain full control of the power.
As expected, Tucker did not fall asleep even though he fell to the ground as Moton said, because he couldn't tell what he wanted to do. Although he was ambitious, he was lacking in ability and resourcefulness.
In addition, I really don’t have enough people, so I have no confidence at all to replace Maodun.
However, the greed in his heart still made him order to secretly guard Mao Dun and his men, but he did not dare to do anything to Mao Dun. So now he can only remain in this stalemate. He really hopes that there is someone who can
Come and teach yourself what to do, but unfortunately this request cannot be achieved.
This delicate relationship existed for more than ten days. Just when Tucker was hesitant, a group of people arrived and made a decision for him. There were more than 5,000 people who came here, and they were one of Moton's people. They left
The time in the big tent was the shortest, so Wutu found them first and asked them to drive back, while Wutu continued to go south to bring other troops back. As soon as they arrived, Tucker knew that he
He could only choose to continue to be loyal to Mao Dun, but what he didn't expect was that he had always sent people to secretly monitor Mao Dun and his remaining people, and didn't notice them leaving at all. How come someone still rushed back. But this
The problem was no longer important. Tucker only knew that his decision not to attack Mao Dun was still correct. Otherwise, these 5,000 people would have killed all his troops as sacrifices for Mao Dun.
After meeting these five thousand people, Modu finally felt relieved. He pretended that he had not discovered Tucker's ulterior motives, and was still very grateful to him, and promised that when all the tribal leaders came back, he would
He was rewarded in public. Only then did Tucker know that not only did Modu bring back his own troops, but also people from other tribes were called back by Moton, and he felt even more grateful for his hesitation.
.
Soon after, people from all walks of life came back one after another. They had heard about the attack on Shan Yu's tent on the way. Although they looked down upon Mo Dun because of this incident, they still obeyed his orders and rushed back.
After all, he is still the largest chanyu on the grassland, and he still has the largest number of men and horses on the grassland. If he does not obey the orders, his own military strength alone will not be enough to compete with the Qin army who has already prepared.
Fighting.
A few days later, those leaders who had close dealings with Mao Dun arrived at his tent first. Seeing that everyone was almost back, Mao Dun gathered the leaders together and told the whole story, and then repeated it.
Rewarded the families of those guards who died fighting for themselves
As well as the guards who survived. At the same time, he also fulfilled his promise and rewarded Tucker with a pasture with grass and water. After announcing the reward, Modu's face darkened: "Our Huns' cavalry
It is the speed of coming and going that makes the people of the Central Plains
When it comes to us, the color changes. I don’t expect this Central Plains cavalry to imitate our behavior, so we must kill them, otherwise our Huns’ face will not be saved.” Looking at the leaders, they also gritted their teeth and said to everyone in the day shift, risking
Immediately strike while the iron is hot.
The tasks were assigned, and each tribe was ordered to be responsible for an area to find the men and horses of the day shift and annihilate them. This time, the Huns finally made up their minds to kill the Central Plains people who had penetrated into the grassland, no matter what the cost.
What a price.
At this time, the day shift was taking the remaining less than 800 people to hide in an inconspicuous hill. The grasslands are not all endless flat grassland, there are also mountains and rivers, and here is a hill that is not too high.
At this time, the day shift team had completely lost the vigor they had in the previous days. They were defeated twice in a row, and they were still defeated so miserably that the soldiers no longer had the confidence to fight the Huns on the grasslands.
Now they have no food, so they can only feed themselves by hunting some wild animals in the mountains. But after these few days, there are not many wild animals in the mountains, and the mood of the soldiers is even lower. Some of them have even begun to regret themselves.
Following the day shift into this grassland, it would have been better no matter whether I left the team in the Central Plains or followed Zhang Han and returned to Fusu, but now there is no turning back.
The white squad also knew what the soldiers were thinking, but now he was not qualified to reprimand them. He was the one who should be most responsible for the two failures. Sitting listlessly on the ground, the white squad was looking at the sky in a daze, thinking about his past
Although he is so majestic, he has basically not lived a good life since Fusu appeared. He always seems to be suffering from defeats. Now he is even reduced to hiding in the mountains and dare not go out. "Fusu is really my destiny.
Nemesis, Fusu, ah Fusu, even if I, Bai Ban, really die here, I will not let you go if I become a ghost!" Bai Ban thought in his heart.
At this time, he suddenly felt that danger was approaching here. This was a skill he had acquired after experiencing life and death on the grassland. He immediately jumped up from the ground, waved to call two soldiers, and asked them to follow him.
I quietly went out to take a look. When I reached the foot of the mountain, I looked out and saw a group of dark people walking towards me in the distance. Judging from their posture, they seemed to be searching for something. When the day shift saw this, their faces turned pale.
I didn't expect that the Huns would be so unrelenting this time and still search so carefully after such a long time. Looking at the Huns getting closer and closer, Bai Ban knew that his last battle might start here.
"The Huns actually retreated? What's going on? Do they just want to scare us?" Fusu was very surprised when he heard the news of the Huns' retreat coming from the north.
Although Zhang Liang is a man of profound wisdom, this incident really puzzled him: "Looking at the movements of the Huns in the past few days, it seems that they will not retreat so easily. They are different from our Qin army. Their soldiers can
They have to be recruited from various tribes on the grassland, which takes far more time than us. They have spent so much effort just to put themselves on the border for a while. This should be impossible. Even if they are because of seeing me
It doesn’t make sense that Da Qin’s army also deployed troops there and retreated. They can make a decision after fighting our army.”
Han Xin, Meng Tian and other generals also looked confused. They even suspected that this was just a strategy of the Huns, just to make themselves relax their vigilance.
Seeing that everyone had lost their views, Chen Ping reminded Fusu: "Your Majesty, we have also deployed spies on the grassland. Maybe in a few days we will receive news from the grassland, and by then we can also
You should respond accordingly depending on the situation. There is no need to rush. Moreover, the emperor has already planned to send people to Yuezhi, so you can send envoys before the battle begins."
