Just when the leaders of the tribes heard that Mao Dun had decided to give up the attack on Yunzhong City and felt happy in their hearts, they suddenly heard someone put forward a different opinion. For a moment, they all looked at the white shifter who made the noise.

There was hostility in his eyes. But the day shift seemed to have never seen it before

They generally continued: "Chanyu, if we had led the army to leave when the Qin people first entered the city, maybe we would not have been in any trouble, but now even if we want to leave, the Qin people in the city will not

Let's get out of here so easily."

Mao Dun is not a person who doesn't understand combat at all, otherwise he wouldn't be able to control the grassland. If he thinks about it carefully, he can't help but agree with Bai Ban's view. Although it seems that the Huns are attacking the city now,

The Qin people only defended the city passively, but in fact the Qin people were capable of fighting, as evidenced by the raid that day. Of course, if they were really outside the city

When the war begins, the Qin people are still no match for the Huns, but if the Huns are willing to retreat and retreat, the gap between the two armies will naturally shorten. By then, the 100,000 Huns cavalry may really be defeated by the 60,000 to 70,000 Xiongnu cavalry in the city.

It is possible that the Qin army could be defeated. Thinking of this, Mao Dun showed hesitation on his face, but due to the face of other leaders, he could not say it directly.

Seeing Mao Dun's look, the leaders knew what he was planning, and one of them said impatiently: "Chanyu, even if you don't want to give up this city, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it back. And what's left of us is

The food is no longer enough to sustain us for three days. By then, I’m afraid the warriors will make a fuss and go elsewhere. For the sake of our warriors, please Shanyu think of a way."

Mo Dun felt the crisis when he heard that food was already so tight. He looked at the day shift, waiting for him to give him a solution. However, the day shift had been thinking about how to break into the city or how to break into the city these days.

How did he fight with the Qin army who came to help here, but he never considered the matter of food at all. Now that he suddenly learned about this, he was also shocked.

There was no solution at all. Seeing that the day shifter was also dumbfounded, Mao Dun knew that he had to give up on this path in the clouds at this time. Even though he was unwilling in his heart, the situation was always better than others, so in the end

He still promised the leaders to withdraw one after another early the next morning, and took them to attack nearby cities to obtain necessary food and grass.

The day shifter was depressed, thinking about his plans and plans, but they failed because of the lack of food and grass. He was full of resentment, but he had no choice but to walk alone in the camp to relieve his depression. Unconsciously, he walked to Ji

In front of Du's account, Ji Du has not participated in the siege plan these days, just because he is ill.

Although it has entered spring seasonally, the weather in the north is still cold, and Ji Du is getting cold due to his increasing age and the poor accommodation conditions here. The Xiongnu did not have any doctors at this time.

Doctor, so his illness could only be dragged on like this. After going back and forth like this, Ji Du's health got worse, and even now he can't get off the ground.

The only person in the day class who could communicate with him at this time was Ji Du, and he was also the only one who knew what he was thinking, so the day class unconsciously walked to Ji Du's account. Now that he was here, the day class simply walked in and

Come visit Ji Du to see if he has improved, and secondly, you can talk about your troubles.

Ji Du was lying on the couch half asleep at this time. Suddenly he heard someone coming in and hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see the day shifter with a sad look on his face. Although Ji Du could not participate in the military because of his illness, things were different.

He still knew, so he asked: "General Bai, is he still worried about the long-term attack on Yunzhong City?"

Are you worried? In fact, you don't have to. Didn't you and I already think about it that day? It would be good if we could take it down from the cloud. If we can't take it down, we can wait here for the reinforcements from the Qin people to arrive, and then provoke a fight between the two armies.

War? So now the general should think about how to fight the Qin reinforcements first."

Bai Ban gave a wry smile: "I'm afraid that our plan will not come true. Shan Yu has ordered the army to evacuate this place early tomorrow morning and find another city to attack. And Qin's reinforcements are probably on their way here.

By the time they arrive, we will have already gone elsewhere." He sighed helplessly.

"How do you say this?" Ji Du was puzzled and looked at the day class and asked.

"Because our army has insufficient food and fodder, all the leaders asked Shan Yu to withdraw the army. Shan Yu had no choice but to agree." The white squad told the whole story in detail, and there was no one who could listen to him.

He said he felt a lot more comfortable.

After listening to his words carefully, Ji Du said disdainfully: "In addition to this reason, these big people are also worried that their own men and horses will suffer too many losses and they will be more dependent on Shan Yu in the future, so they took the opportunity to retreat.

Right. Now it seems that only by convincing Shanyu first can we hope to keep the army here."

The day shift hurriedly asked: "Is there any way you can persuade Shanyu to agree to stay here?"

Ji Du thought for a long time and then said: "Let me give it a try. For the sake of our common enemy, I will try to persuade Shanyu no matter what, and make him agree to keep his troops here." He slowly stood up.

After getting off the ground, the day shift hurriedly helped him up, and then put a coat on him. With the support of the day shift, Ji Du finally walked out of the tent and went to the Shanyu's tent in Maodun.

Seeing Ji Du suddenly coming to see me sick, Mao Dun was stunned for a moment, but then he thought of the reason for his visit. He asked him to sit down and said, "Mr. Ji came to see me in spite of his illness because he knew that we were going to withdraw."

Right. But what the leaders said is right. Now that there is not enough food, we have to abandon the city first and plunder some more food before we think of a way."

Ji Du sat down with difficulty, and then said: "Chanyu, have you ever thought about the other motives of those leaders who are so eager to persuade you to withdraw your troops?" Seeing Mao Dun's unclear expression, Ji Du said

He guessed that they wanted to preserve their own strength, and then said: "I miss him."

This is why they are so eager to propose withdrawing their troops. In fact, Shanyu's men and horses suffered the most casualties in the attack on Yunzhong. If they leave like this, not only will Shanyu's face be tarnished, but the situation on the grassland will also be somewhat subtle.

With the changes, Shanyu is not afraid that things like Dadubu will happen again?"

After what he said, Mao Dun also thought about this clearly. It is true that he had made harsh words to take this city before, but now he has to withdraw his army. I am afraid that his prestige will be greatly reduced in the eyes of the Huns.

, and the Xiongnu are a nation that worships strength. Maybe someone will take the opportunity to rise up against him. Thinking about this, he felt

It seemed that the leaders had this thought, and murderous intent appeared in their eyes unconsciously. After a while, Mao Dun returned to normal and asked Ji Du: "What do you think I should do now?"

There is indeed not enough food in the army. Even if I refuse to withdraw, the leaders will incite their people to cause trouble because of the lack of food."

Ji Du had already thought of an idea on the way here. Now seeing Mo Dun's expression and hearing Mo Dun's questions, he knew that he had been gradually convinced by him, so he said without hesitation: "I have a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

As long as the Shanyu is willing to adopt it, not only can he continue to attack Yunzhong City here, but the leaders of the various tribes will not have any objections. At the same time, more importantly, some of the people who may threaten the Shanyu's status can be eliminated.

People weaken."

When Mao Dun heard this, he immediately asked urgently: "What is the plan? Tell me quickly."

When Ji Du walked out of Maodun's camp, his face was full of a smile that he had everything under control. After his suggestion, the plan he and Bai Ban had set would not be overturned by the sudden attack.

The details were interrupted. Seeing his smile, the anxious heart of the day shift calmed down and he greeted him with a smile.

At night, the leaders were once again called to his tent by Mao Dun. When they heard that he had changed his mind and did not want to retreat, all the leaders asked him in disbelief why and asked him to come up with a solution.

The solution to the shortage of food and grass came out. Maodun said calmly: "As Bai Ban said, our losses will be too great if we retreat at this time, so it is better to continue to surround Yunzhong City. I think the Qin people in the city will

Life will only be more difficult than ours. As for the problem of food and grass..." At this point, he glanced at all the leaders present, and finally stopped at Gu Ke, the leader of the Die La tribe who was the most active in advocating withdrawal:

"Let Guke take the warriors of the Diela tribe to Jiuyuan not far to the west to find a solution. You have nearly 20,000 warriors in the Diela tribe, and the Jiuyuan tribe only has ten thousand defenders. You must

We can capture it and plunder food to support our people here."

"I..." Gu Ke was speechless for a moment. Since Dadu was destroyed and Mao Dun became the co-owner of the grassland, he had to follow Mao Dun wholeheartedly due to the situation, but this time the defeat in Yunzhong made him think again.

He was a little ready to make a move. He thought that he might be able to take advantage of it after returning to the grassland this time. But now that Mao Dun has made such an arrangement, it is obvious that he has seen through his intentions. If he shirks it now, Mao Dun will immediately take advantage of him.

With no choice but to save his life, he had no choice but to say: "Our Diela tribe will definitely capture the Jiuyuan and bring enough food to our warriors."

The other leaders also vaguely sensed the struggle, and when they saw Mao Dun taking this action, in order to prevent themselves from becoming the second most powerful Gu Ke, they had no choice but to say yes.
