Chapter 335: Sending troops to Yuezhi
All the tribal leaders who were around the Shan Yu's tent were called to his tent by Mo Dun. In addition to them, there were also people whom the Shan Yu trusted very much, such as Ji Du, Bai Ban and Wu Tu.
, Suoha and other close confidants. The leaders also already knew that a group of troops had raided Shan Yu's tent just now, and they were worried about what Mao Dun would do to them.
Mao Dun looked at everyone's anxious expressions and snorted coldly: "Jela, Bisuo, you two tribes are behind my Shanyu's tent, where the enemy army came in. Why are you?"
Will people be unable to stop those thousands of people?”
There were streaks of cold sweat on Jera's face, but he didn't bother to wipe it with his hands and said: "The appearance of that army was beyond our expectation. My warriors didn't even have time to take out their bows and arrows.
Raising their swords, they came to kill us. Although the warriors of our tribe resisted desperately, they were still able to break through the gap."
Bisuo also said similar words, and then the two of them looked timidly at the gloomy Moton. Moton had killed many tribal leaders who were enemies of him over the years, and even the soldiers in the tribe would be killed.
He turned his back and killed him mercilessly, leaving only the women and children as slaves. Therefore, the leaders of the two tribes were still very afraid of Mao Dun, fearing that he would stab themselves in anger. But Mao Dun did not
They were furious as they feared, but looked at the other tribal leaders: "Do you think these two tribes should be punished for causing my tent to be almost attacked this time?"
The leaders were actually very sympathetic to the experiences of their two tribes. After all, if they were in their place, they would probably be in the same situation, so someone boldly said: "Chanyu, I really can't blame Jela and Bisuo for this."
A tribesman, it’s because the cavalry appeared too suddenly.” The other leaders nodded repeatedly to show that they agreed with this.
Namo Dun immediately said: "What you said is not unreasonable. Indeed, no one would have thought that a group of troops would appear from the west of us and come to kill my Shanyu's tent. Why do you think this is?"
The leaders only looked at Mao Dun, and for a moment they did not switch from asking questions to discussing the issue of the failure. Only Ji Du smiled clearly, but did not say anything, waiting for Mao Dun to finish his words.
Sure enough, after a pause, Maodun continued: "That's because we never thought that the Yuezhi, who had always been very docile and only knew how to defend and even let me, the Huns, would suddenly send troops to attack us by surprise!
"
This was clear, and the faces of all the leaders turned red with anger. They were angry that as Huns, they were actually attacked by a little Yuezhi. Some even couldn't help shouting:
"We will send troops to attack the Yuezhi immediately, and repay them double the damage they caused to us Huns!" The reason for their anger is easy to understand. The Yuezhi people have always been looked down upon by the Huns, and they still have
With a large territory and many soldiers, they were no match for the Huns, so the Yuezhi, who was now in a corner, was even less in the eyes of the Huns. But they didn't expect that the Yuezhi who they didn't pay attention to now would actually
They dared to send troops to attack them, and even killed them near the Chanyu's tent, which could not but make them furious. The powerful Qin State in the Central Plains sent people to kill their Chanyu on the edge of the battle. The Huns were not ashamed, but
Being beaten like this by Yuezhi is completely different. It's like an adult being beaten by someone stronger than him. He will be angry at most, but if he is beaten to the ground by a child, then he can't tolerate it.
.
Seeing the already agitated group of leaders, Maodun added fuel to the fire at the right time: "It seems that those Yuezhi people saw that our Xiongnu warriors were no longer able to use troops against them, so they dared to use troops against us. We must not tolerate it."
What a shame!"
Hearing what Mao Dun said, all the Huns, whether they were leaders or generals, shouted loudly: "We must not let go of the enemies who dare to offend our Huns. We will send out a large army to destroy the Yuezhi Kingdom."
!" Among them, the two leaders, Najila and Bisuo, shouted the loudest, because they just wanted to blame the Yuezhi people for this incident, so that they would be fine.
Among them, only one person from the day shift felt that this matter was a bit strange, so he wanted to express his opinion. But as soon as his man moved, Ji Du, who was standing with him, grabbed his sleeve and motioned him not to speak.
As the days of working with Ji Du increased, he became more and more impressed by Ji Du's intelligence. Although he didn't know the purpose of his move, he obediently did not step forward. Instead, he watched coldly as a group of leaders were provoked by Mao Dun.
He had great hatred for the Yuezhi.
After Mao Dun let the leaders vent for a while, he signaled them to calm down, and then said: "You are right. As the descendants of the sun, the bravest and best Huns on the grassland, we cannot be ignored by the Yuezhi people.
Invasion. Since they have already attacked us, we should send out troops to wipe them out. They are no more powerful than us!"
His words immediately aroused the loud approval of all the Huns. They were eager to send their troops to the Yuezhi territory now and kill everyone there. Mao Dun then looked at Jela and Bisuo:
"The improper defense of your two tribes caused the Yuezhi people to kill me in front of my tent. I will not punish you. As long as you bring your own tribe as the vanguard of this attack on the Yuezhi, the mistakes you made can be wiped out."
Already."
When Jela and Bisuo heard this, they hurriedly responded: "Our two tribes are willing to follow Shan Yu to kill the Yueshi and wash away the shame!" They thought that attacking the Yueshi was not only not a punishment, but also profitable.
One thing, because as long as they attack the Yuezhi, they can plunder other people's property and improve their tribe's status among the Huns.
Then Mao Dun made arrangements for what each tribe should do, and finally said: "Early tomorrow morning, we will send 50,000 troops to attack the Yueshi. In this battle, we must destroy the Yueshi to eliminate this hatred!"
After everyone was done talking, the day shift called Ji Du to him and asked him: "How did Mr. Ji just stop me from speaking to Shan Yu? I think with Mr. Ji's intelligence, he can also find several doubts in it."
, it is not certain whether the invading cavalry are Yuezhi people.
. As long as we examine the corpses of the cavalry who died in our hands, we can clearly understand their origins. Why didn't you mention it, sir? And what Shanyu said today was not like what he usually said.
What you said seems to be what Mr. Ji was thinking behind the scenes, right?"
Ji Du coughed slightly, then smiled and said: "General Bai is really powerful, he can see through these problems at a glance. Yes, what Chanyu said today was all taught by me, in order to make all the Xiongnu tribes agree to send troops to the Yueshi.
As for the examination of the corpses you mentioned, I also thought of it, but I didn’t ask anyone to do it.”
"Why is this?" The day class looked at Ji Du in confusion.
Ji Du pulled him into his tent, then asked him to sit down and said, "Didn't we say in the past few days that the situation of the Xiongnu is now almost out of the control of the Shanyu? The leaders of each tribe
Because of the uneven distribution of cattle and sheep, I began to feel dissatisfied with the Chanyu. If this continues, I am afraid that the Chanyu will really use force to force the tribes to obey him.
By then, the losses to the Huns will be great, and it will be very disadvantageous for those of us who want to take advantage of the situation. But this sudden attack of troops has given us an opportunity. As long as the leaders and even all the Huns
Everyone shares the same hatred and wants to send troops to the Yuezhi, then the Chanyu can hold all the military power, so that there will be no changes among the tribes."
"In other words, who are the invading enemies? In your eyes, you can regard them as the Yuezhi people, and then let the Huns use troops against the Yuezhi people?" Bai Ban asked with some understanding.
"Yes, what Chanyu needs most now is someone whom the entire Xiongnu can regard as an enemy. Because the Qin State in the Central Plains is far away and powerful, then the most suitable target is naturally the Yuezhi people." Ji read.
road.
At this time, Bai Ben finally fully understood that the significance of this expedition to Yuezhi was far from revenge or expansion, but seemed to have a more profound political meaning. In his heart, he greatly admired Ji Du's ability to use this situation in a timely manner.
Early the next morning, 50,000 Huns cavalry were already ready to go. In fact, they didn't need to prepare anything. They just mounted their horses and brought bows, arrows and weapons just like they would go hunting on weekdays. The only difference was that this time the prey was not an animal but a human.
Just a person just like myself.
The 50,000 Huns cavalry headed west together under Mao Dun's order. This time, the day shift did not follow Mao Dun because Ji Du was still worried that the missing cavalry would attack again.
, so that the day shift team with most of Mao Dun’s cronies stayed around Shan Yu’s tent. Of course, this was just a pretentious argument. In fact, the more important reason was that Mao Dun wanted to preserve his own strength, so that
So that he could continue to have absolute control over all the Xiongnu tribes.
After all, the momentum and dust caused by the fifty thousand cavalry were not small. Although the Qin army's scouts only scouted ten miles away because they were afraid of being noticed by the Huns, the huge momentum was still seen by them. Seeing this
In this situation, they knew that the Huns had fallen into their general's trap, so they hurried to the place where Zhang Han was stationed.
After listening to the words of these scouts, Zhang Han was overjoyed: "I will say that these Huns cannot compare with us in terms of tactics. Pass on the order, the army will move forward slowly, and it must be three days before attacking the Huns."
