Chapter 297 The Evil Wolf of the North

The world was about to settle down. After Xiang Yu's defeat, Yingbu's old Taishan and another powerful prince of the Chu area, Wu Rui, also officially lost to the Qin court.

The southern part of the Qin Dynasty, which was once turbulent due to the involvement of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, was no longer able to find any hidden dangers to destroy national stability, except for Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue who was still illusory. In the north, the situation was exactly the opposite.

When Fu Ge returned to Yongqiu, a news that worried him finally happened.

Li Lie, who was chasing Zang Tu, sent someone to report that Zang Tu had already fled to the Huns with his remaining troops. Zang Tu knew the current situation of Qin State. His trip to the Huns would inevitably cause huge waves.

"So quickly ordered Li Li to rectify his troops and horses, and put strict guards along Jiuyuan and Henan, so as to order Li Lie to rectify the cavalry and prepare to fight against the Huns. In addition, the fast horses sped on General Yang Wengzi's troops and asked him to immediately move to the people of Hetao territory within the Great Wall. At the same time, he quickly sent horse scouts to inquire about the movements of the Huns."

Fu Ge, whose face changed suddenly, issued a series of orders. The Qin army was now surrounded by the glory of unity. The soldiers only thought of getting rewards after returning to the capital, and then going home to reunite with their families. At this time, the army's combat power was the weakest, even the Qin army, which has always been known for its strength.

After shouting, Fu Ge's heart was already beating faster and his intuition was telling him that the Huns would definitely come, and they would never miss this opportunity for revenge.

"Ship Fu, don't be so anxious. Although Liang has never dealt with the Huns, I think the Huns cannot be more powerful than our Great Qin cavalry?"

Compared to Fu Ge's understanding of the combat power of the Huns, Zhang Liang knew less. In the battle of Lintao, he was in the prison camp and had never really fought with Maodun's elite cavalry?

Zhang Liang was not clear, but Fu Ge knew the direction of history. After Liu Bang won the victory in the domestic hegemony in history that he was familiar with, he was immediately invaded by the Huns cavalry. Liu Bang, who was still immersed in the joy of victory, was certainly unwilling to be controlled by the Huns, so he led an army of 320,000 northward to conquer. However, he was besieged by the Huns' Shanyu Maodun on Baideng Mountain for seven days and seven nights, almost losing his life. If it weren't for Chen Ping's plan to the Shanyu Yan family, Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu, would have become a passerby in history like his old opponent Xiang Yu.

'Those who offend me, strong Han will be punished even if they are far away!' In fact, before this sonorous words that shocked the Chinese people, the Han Dynasty was not much better in dealing with the Xiongnu than in later generations of Song and Qing dynasties.

The marriages were repeated, not only sent beautiful women who were as smart as Wang Zhaojun, but also sent countless gold, silver and jewelry for dowry, but also sent the dignity and glory of the Han Dynasty.

It is precisely for this reason that when the young and energetic Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che succeeded to the throne, he would fight the Huns at all costs and marry them. Let's go fuck it.

My big man’s woman was not born to let you Huns ruin it.

No matter how many years have passed, Fu Ge, who has a fierce male aura in his heart, feels his blood rising and cannot be able to do so.

"Zifang, we traveled all night and night, and we must go back to the Pass before the Huns. With me, Fu Ge, here, the Great Wall is a natural barrier that the Huns can never cross!"

Will the Huns really use force against the south in advance?

For Yang Wengzi, the garrison of the Qinbei Legion stationed in Jiuyuan County, there is actually no need to think about this issue. As early as a month ago, the scout spy sent to the Mobei Grassland sent back the emergency information about the internal movements of the Huns. Because Yang Wengzi knew the ambition of the Huns to be ready.

The summer with vigorous growth of plants and trees is coming, and the fertile pasture with abundant water and grass in Hetao has always been the most abundant prey in the eyes of the Hun nobles.

Before the internal distribution of power was resolved, the Huns had no time to take into account the ownership of Hetao. However, after the new Shanyu established the supreme position, Yang Wengzi, who was well aware of the ambitions of the Huns, knew that the time when the Huns attacked Qin was approaching.

Jiuyuan County, Lintao City, where the central army of the Northern Legion is located.

Since the assassination that caused Maodun to die for beauty, the city of Lintao has become a thorn in the eyes of all the Huns and a thorn in the flesh.

Some fanatical Hun nobles have threatened more than once to raise troops to razed the city of Lintao to the ground, kill all the people in the city, sell them to the extreme north and the bitter and cold lands as cattle and horses, and to make these hateful Qin people become dogs of the Huns and slaves of the Huns for generations.

The enemy must fight for the key to the enemy.

As an experienced veteran, Yang Wengzi certainly understood this. Therefore, after being ordered to continue to garrison the front line of the Great Wall, Yang Wengzi gradually moved the garrison of the Northern Legion to Lintao City.

"What? The households in Hetao land have not moved all the cities into the city. What are you doing for food? Haven't you told the herdsmen that the Huns are coming to attack?"

In the general's mansion, Yang Wengzi held a scroll of bamboo slips reported from below, and was so angry that his white beards trembled.

"We have told the general that we have told the herdsmen, but they just refused to move south. They were all citizens of Qin. We were not willing to force them to drive them with force for a while. Therefore, there are still more than 100 households left in Hetao land-!" Seeing Yang Wengzi angry, the staff officer who knew that the veteran was upright and honest, explained aggrievedly.

"Hurry, bring a team of people to take more than 100 households into the pass. When will they return the mother-in-law and mother? Is life important or animal important?" Yang Wengzi pulled out his battle robe and stepped out angrily. He was angry with ordinary herders who were short-sighted and only knew how to keep the animals strong or not.

Yang Wengzi was very angry, but he didn't know that it was these humble and seemingly foolish ordinary people who supported the lifeline of the entire country. Without these ordinary people who worked hard, there would be no brigade of warriors under his command. It was these "fool people" who were reluctant to leave animals that made Qin become stronger step by step.

Outside the pass.

North of Hetao.

The continuous green mountains are like a splashing ribbon on the grassland, dividing the rich Hetao land in the south of the desert and the fierce Gobi Desert in the north of the desert into two completely different parts.

For nomadic peoples, the desert south and north are the second heaven.

If Monan is a paradise, then Hetaodi is the brightest pearl in heaven. The Huns had long been salivating for this pearl that had been snatched from their hands for a long time.

On July 1st, the fourth year of the Xinyuan period of the Great Qin Dynasty, at noon.

In addition to a group of trees growing on the mountain, there were also a group of Hun cavalry holding the wolf-tooth flag in the green mountains.

The wolf flag of the Xiongnu Shanyu has not appeared in the southern part of the desert for a long time since Maodun died. This is not only because the Qin State strengthened its vigilance in the Hetao area, but also because the Xiongnu did not give birth to a new Shanyu.

However, the chaos within the Huns has now ended. It was his son Ji Zhu who replaced Maodun as the new Shanyu. Unlike the facts recorded in historical records, Ji Zhu, the old Shang Shanyu who was quite good at the Han Dynasty, now hates the Qin Dynasty, which killed his father.

If I cannot avenge my father's revenge, I will give up the position of Shanyu to others. This is the oath made by Ji Zhu when he ascended Shanyu's throne, and it is also the ultimate reason for him to ultimately unify the tribes, send troops to Qin in the south, and regain the lost fertile pasture. In the face of this "glorious and sacred" mission, the Huns tribes quickly united around Ji Zhu.

What's even more terrible is that Jizhou's southern expedition not only received support from the Huns, but also helped by traitors from the south. King Zang Tu of Yan, who was attacked by Qin, finally defected to the Huns. Not only him, but also other subordinates who followed Zang Tu. They have now become the most reliable guides around Jizhou.

"Da Shanyu, I once heard that the territory of the Qin Dynasty was wider than that of our Huns, and their population was far greater than that of our Huns. If we calculated according to this, we would fight with the Qin people with eggs and ask for trouble. Therefore, King Youguli thought it would be better to send envoys to Xianyang first to make friends!"

Among the Hun nobles, there were many militants, but there were also peacemakers like King Youguli. Of course, this opinion was completely unresponsive to the Hun army, which was filled with a revenge atmosphere.

Sure enough, before waiting for a group of Xiongnu generals to speak, a eunuch named Zhongxing under Zang Tu said first: "Don't worry, the total population of the Xiongnu is not as good as a county in Qin, but compared to the military strength, the Xiongnu is too strong than Qin. As far as the subordinates know, only one out of the ten males in Qin can barely be charged into the army. If these people have not undergone special training, they will not be able to go to the battlefield at all. In contrast, all the men of the Xiongnu can cross horses and shoot arrows. The Shanyu's wolf flag can immediately mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops. Moreover, Qin is busy extermination of civil strife and there are very few troops stationed in the northern border. If we do not advance at this time, when will we wait?"
