Chapter 49: Change of course

The scorching sun hangs high on the body, as if it is baked on fire, making people feel a little painful.

King Zuo Xian and Commander Zuo Dadu were riding on the horse, their faces pale, pinching their noses, and retching.

They regarded Han people as pigs and dogs, killed Han people as numb, and they didn't know how many Han people died under their knife. The corpses they had seen, the stench of corpses they had smelled, and the blood they had waded through were far beyond imagination. However, when they faced the scene in front of them, they still had to feel unbearable.

This is a Hun camp. At this time, the camp had long lost its vitality. There were overturned tents everywhere, rotten corpses, maggots were swallowing the corpses in piles, and the corpses were flowing everywhere. This was not a camp, it was clearly a Shura slaughterhouse.

Looking at the white bones and wriggling maggots, throwing limbs everywhere, Zuo Xianwang and Zuo Daduwei were shocked for the first time in their lives! The shock was so great!

They faced this scene many times, of course not in the Huns, but in the land of the Han Dynasty, the villages and towns of the Han Dynasty, after they were slaughtered.

If it is said to be miserable, the Han villages, towns and cities were massacred by the Huns even more miserable.

At that time, they had only pleasure, only compassion, only laughter, and no mercy, and no terrible thoughts.

Now, the feng shui has changed. The things that the Huns invaded to the Han Dynasty were returned by the Han army in full swing. They only realized what the "terrible" was, and there was a terrible scene in front of them that would be unforgettable for their lives.

"Hans, hateful Hans! Despicable Hans! They actually slaughtered the people of the Great Huns like pigs and dogs!"

Zuo Daduwei clenched his hands into fists, exerting too much force, and the back of his hands turned a little blue, almost roaring towards the sky.

His eyes were red and his chest was undulating. He was already extremely angry.

"Zuo Xianwang, please allow me to lead my army south and fight to the death with the Han people!" Zuo Daduwei was very big, skilled in cavalry and shooting, and had a strong martial arts skills. He was a famous warrior of the Huns.

If Shan talks about martial arts, he is one of the best warriors in the Huns and is deeply loved by the military minister Shanyu. This time, the Han army disturbed a large scale and returned the massacres that the Huns had injected into the Han Dynasty to the Huns. The Zuo Daduwei had long been very angry.

"Zuo Dadu, I know you are a famous warrior of the Great Huns, and your courage is beyond your reach." Zuo Xianwang was very afraid of his military minister Shanyu's confidant: "But, the Great Shanyu just wants us to deal with the Han army that went deep into the hinterland."

"What about the Han army? You have been searching for so many days, have you seen the shadow of a Han army?" The angry Zuo Dadu roared at Zuo Xianwang.

Zhou Yang gave the Han army half a month. When the time came, no matter how big the victory was waiting for them, they had to return. The two victories came from Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang's prestige among the border troops was already very high. The Han army did not dare to disobey his military orders at all, and he had already returned. Zuo Xianwang and others could not meet the Han army, and they didn't even see the shadow of the Han army.

"This..." Zuo Xianwang was speechless.

"When the Han people go back, we will chase after them. We will chase them to their villages and towns, chase them to their cities, kill them all, without leaving any one!" The Zuo Daduwei clenched his fist with his right hand, and his fist as big as a bowl could not shake, and he might lose control at any time.

Zuo Xian had a high throne and power. Facing the anger of Zuo Daduwei, he couldn't help but lose his momentum.

"Do you go or not?" Zuo Dadu yelled: "If you don't go, I'll go!"

Regardless of Zuo Xianwang's reaction, he let go of Zuo Xianwang and strode away. He flew on his horse, rode his horse to the front of the formation, drew out his scimitar, pointed to the south, and spoke to his army: "Warriors of the Great Huns: Can you bear it when the Han people came to our camp, slaughter our herdsmen, slaughter our cattle and sheep, and snatch our horses?"

"cannot!"

This was the first time in the history of the Huns for decades, and it had already made the Huns angry and unstoppable. He was so excited that the commander Zuo Dadu was waving his scimitar and shouting.

The sound of the clouds is suppressed and the sky is rising straight up.

"I, Zuo Daduwei leads you to the villages of the Han people, chase them to the cities of the Han people, kill all the Han people! Plunder their property! Burn their villages and cities! Force their wives and concubines to cry! Utra!" Zuo Daduwei's voice spread from afar, and the Huns could hear it clearly.

“Utra!”

“Utra!”

Massacre of Han people, burning down the villages and cities of Han people, and plundering Han women were the favorite things for the Huns. They had been doing it for decades, and never had any accidents. They were all overjoyed and shouted hard.

"Kunlun God!"

The commander Zuo Dadu roared again with a scimitar.

"Kunlun God!"

The Huns roared.

"Kill all the Han people!"

The Zuo Dadu roared, and rushed out with a bunch of horse heads.

"Kill all the Han people!"

The Huns roared and rushed out.

For a moment, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and smoke and dust filled the ground, shaking the ground.

Zuo Daduwei was the beloved general of the military minister Shanyu. The army he led was the most elite army and horses of the Shanyu headquarters, and its power was indeed extraordinary. When he galloped, the sound of thunder-like hooves could be heard dozens of miles away.

If you look from the air, the splashing smoke and dust are like an angry dragon, pounced straight towards the south.

Weiyang Palace, the Palace of Health.

Emperor Jing was wearing a Yanju suit and knelt on a short table, with a solemn expression on his face.

The middle-aged man knelt across from Emperor Jing, his face as solemn as Emperor Jing.

"What do you say sir?" Emperor Jing asked.

"Return to the emperor, the sir said that the war after autumn is of great importance, and it will affect the whole body." The middle-aged man retelled the words of the gentleman: "Since Zhou Yang wanted to use a crossbow formation to deal with the Huns, this is indeed a very good method. When the previous dynasty was in the Hetao Dynasty, he used 50,000 various crossbows, which made the Touman Shanyu's 500,000 army almost wiped out. Crossbows are indeed a powerful weapon for China to deal with the Huns, but it's a pity..."

"It's a pity that the Han Dynasty has pursued defensive strategies for decades, guarding the city and not causing any loss." Emperor Jing took over the conversation and said regretfully: "The weapon of crossbow is not valued, and is scattered in various cities and is only used to defend the city. Although Zhou Yang's move is not a new law, it is the most effective way to deal with the Huns. What I regret is that the Han Dynasty has very few crossbows, and there are only more than a thousand crossbows in the Chang'an Armament, and there are not as many chariots."

If there were more crossbows, the success of this battle would be even greater, and everyone would feel sorry for it. The middle-aged man sighed: "Sir, although Zhou Yang was in his prime, he could make a surprise. It was a wise move to use crossbows to win. It was a wise move for the emperor to make him a general. In this battle, it is unlikely to win, at least it will not be defeated. As long as it is not defeated, then the north is in the past situation, so there is no need to worry too much. However, the south must pay attention to it. If it was Nanyue, Minyue, and Dongou, while there was something wrong with the Han Dynasty and the Huns, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Sir, you have a long-term plan!" Emperor Jing nodded in agreement: "I received a secret report, and the Prime Minister of Nanyue Lu Jia seemed to have some abnormal movements. The King of Minyue was also ready to move. The letter of the King of Dong'ou was already sent. Even the third brother was waiting for the Han Dynasty to defeat the war, so he could benefit from it. What was his heart? He was also the bloodline of Emperor Gaozu, my brother! The third brother, the third brother!"

The middle-aged man then repeated what his teacher said: "Mr. Nanyue is comforted, and Minyue is threatened, so that he dare not have strange ambitions. Among the Three Yues, Dongou is the weakest and needs the Han Han the most, and dare not have any other actions. Minyue is the strongest, Zuo Ying is full of ambitions, and he has long been unjust. However, the Han Dynasty has been prosperous and peaceful for the past few years, and he has no chance. Furthermore, Liu Ju, the prince of the King of Wu, was in Minyue, and this disaster will be eliminated. If it is not eliminated, there will be no peace in Minyue. Therefore, Nanyue should focus on appeasement, and Minyue should use power."

"Sir, it's very calculating, and its kindness is different." Emperor Jing agreed and asked: "How to appease Nanyue?"

"You can send Yuan Ang to the Nanyue affairs." The middle-aged man frowned, as if a sharp sword was unsheathed.

"Yuan Ang?" Emperor Jing was surprised. His sword-browed eyebrows were furrowed together, and the tiger's eyes were shining brightly. He asked strangely: "Sir, don't care about the past? Yuan Ang's slander, I'm wrongly killing my mentor!" Tears appeared in the tiger's eyes, and his voice was choked: "Yuan Ang, said that he had the skills to relieve the seven kingdoms. I was confused for a moment and actually believed his slander."

"The past years have passed long ago, and the sir won't care." The middle-aged man nodded affirmatively: "Mr. said that Yuan Ang had been sent to Nanyue for envoys, saying that the King of Nanyue surrendered. Now that the situation is complicated, he can be sent to him again."

"Mr. Xie!" Emperor Jing stood up and bowed from afar: "Yuan Ang is good at speaking and eloquently. If he goes, Nanyue will be worry-free."

"Emperor, the slave lieutenant's army newspaper!" Chuntuo quickly stepped in, holding a bundle of bamboo slips in his hand.

"Is Zhou Yang's military newspaper a good news?" Emperor Jing stared at the bamboo slips in Chuntuo's hand and asked nervously.

"I didn't say anything back to the emperor." Chuntuo answered truthfully.

Emperor Jing was frightened. If there was a good news, everything would be easy to say. If it was a good news, it would be a defeat. If the north was defeated, the situation would suddenly become complicated, so complicated that even Emperor Jing didn't know how to deal with it. Nanyue, Minyue, and King Liang would jump out, that would be out of control.

"Your Majesty, please tell me if you have read it." The middle-aged man reminded him.

"If you win a battle, it must be that Hong Ling urgently sends out good news. If it is not Hong Ling urgently, then..." Emperor Jing did not say anything, and everyone understood. That is, only if you lose a battle, you can report it in a low-key manner.

After taking the bamboo slips, Emperor Jing's hands were trembling, and his face changed color. If he didn't look at them, he would have fallen. After a look, the bamboo slips fell down and hit the imperial desk, making a crisp "pop" sound.

Emperor Jing's body was stiff and pointed at the bamboo slips. He couldn't speak for a long time, and his eyes could not turn, as if the bamboo slips were a monster, like a demon.

"But the defeat?" the middle-aged man was shocked, his face changed color, and he asked hurriedly.

"Who said it was a defeat?" Emperor Jing then realized, hurriedly picked up the bamboo slips, looked at them over and over again, and the more he looked, the happier the more he looked, the more he was, the more he looked, the joy on his face became stronger and stronger.

In the end, Emperor Jing pushed the bamboo slips to the middle-aged man: "Sir, look, Zhou Yang is so lucky, he can also encounter such a thing! Oh my God, that's Qin crossbow! More than 4,000 frames!"

Emperor Jing was happy and almost sang it, but the middle-aged man couldn't understand it, so he looked at Emperor Jing in surprise. He knew that Emperor Jing was a human being and a steady person, and rarely saw Emperor Jing lose his composure.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? What Qin crossbows, more than 4,000?" the middle-aged man blurted out.

"Look! Look!" Emperor Jing pointed at the bamboo slips with his right index finger.

The middle-aged man understood, picked up the bamboo slips and looked at them, and it immediately turned into a statue. His mouth was wide open and round, with an unbelievable look on his face and couldn't even say anything.

Just as the middle-aged man was surprised, Emperor Jing was so happy that he paced faster and faster, as if flying: "Meng Tian, ​​a famous general of the previous dynasty, used tens of thousands of Qin crossbows in the battle of Hetao. Zhou Yang suddenly had 4,000 Qin crossbows. Will he still be defeated in this battle? No matter what, it is impossible to lose! I have no worries! There are so many things that should be reconsidered."

A brief pause: "Well, the Baiyue matter needs to be planned separately. Let me tell you about Zhou Yafu!"

"Your Majesty, do you mean to change the course of Baiyue?" The middle-aged man asked in surprise.

"That's right! For decades, the great man has shown kindness to Baiyue but not showing his power. They really think that the great man is powerless to deal with them. Humph, dream!" Emperor Jing's eyes flashed with gleam: "Wuyou in the north, why didn't I take this opportunity to solve the Baiyue problem so as not to catch fire in the backyard when I attack Hu in the future!"

"The emperor is far-sighted and admires me. But what should Qin Wuhui and others do about it?" The middle-aged man had some concerns.

Emperor Jing smiled and said, "According to Zhou Yang's disposal, they are willing to keep the banner of the previous dynasty and be willing to be the survivors of the previous dynasty, and follow their wishes."

"Master, what if they do something rebellious?" The middle-aged man's concerns are reasonable.

"Haha!" Emperor Jing laughed: "Sir, I'm too worried, there will be no such thing. Qin Wuhui and the others have mastered so many Qin crossbows, so many weapons, and so much food. If they want to hate the Han Dynasty, they would have been to the Xiongnu. Sir, think about it, what would happen if these things fall into the hands of the Xiongnu? It will bring great disaster to China!"

The voice was very high: "The time when the Huns had the strongest combat power was when the grass was fat in autumn. At that time, because the Huns had no refined grain to feed the war horses, they could only wait for the grass to be yellow. If there were so much refined grain, the Huns' war horses were fat and strong all year round, which could disturb the Han Dynasty at all times. The Huns lacked iron and soldiers. If there were so many Qin swords, their combat power would double."

After a moment of pause, he clenched his fist with his right hand: "The most terrifying thing is these more than 4,000 Qin crossbows. The Qin crossbow is extremely powerful and can shoot at 800 steps. Nothing can survive in front of the Qin crossbows. If the Huns get these more than 4,000 Qin crossbows, would they still have to think about the consequences? The Huns only need to shoot at the city gate a few rounds, and the city will be broken. Even Yanmen, Yunzhong, Dai County, and Dingxiang cannot defend it, that would be a huge disaster!"

Qin crossbows can not only be used to fight in the field, but also to attack the city. Shooting at the city gate will not take long, and the city gate will lose its function. Without the obstacles of the city gate, the Huns' cavalry will pour into the city and the north will be filled with blood.

Qin Wuhui and the others did not join the Huns, but stayed in the Hetao area. Is there any better explanation than this?

The middle-aged man was convinced: "The emperor is wise! I admire you when you see things with great pleasure!"

The two of them said a while again, mostly nice words, North Wuyou, etc.

Not long after, Zhou Yafu arrived and the middle-aged man avoided it. Emperor Jing asked with a smile: "Zhou Yafu, do you know that I asked you to come, what's wrong?"

"This..." Zhou Yafu pondered slightly and immediately became nervous: "Emperor, but Yang'er was defeated? Emperor, I really can't figure it out, so please tell me."

Zhou Yafu was rushed over, unless Zhou Yang lost the battle, he asked Zhou Yafu, a famous general, to deal with the defeat. However, Emperor Jing smiled, this was not the case, and there was no reason to be happy after defeat.

"You can take a look at this first." Emperor Jing saw Zhou Yafu's wonderful expression in his eyes, which was a little funny.

After taking the bamboo slips, Zhou Yafu opened them and took a look. His hands trembled. The bamboo slips almost fell to the ground and said stammeringly: "What happened like this? More than 4,000 Qin crossbows, that's Qin crossbows! I really couldn't imagine it!"

"You can't think of it, nor do I think of it, no one can think of it!" Emperor Jing was very happy: "This Zhou Yang is not only good at using troops, but also a lucky general, a lucky person! He can get the Qin crossbow decades ago! Haha! Zhou Yafu, you should understand why I summoned you here now, right?"

Zhou Yafu pondered slightly: "Is the emperor going to attack Baiyue?"

"That's right!" Emperor Jing only had two words, but there was no doubt.

"After the First Emperor unified China, he ordered Tu Sui to lead an army of 500,000 to Lingnan to incorporate Baiyue into the territory. This is a grand event in China!" Emperor Jing frowned, like a sharp sword unsheathed, which made people feel thirsty.

Qin Shihuang's great cause of unification was far more than just destroying the six kingdoms, but also incorporating Lingnan into the territory. Without Qin Shihuang, there would be no current South China region.

"Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu threatened the Xiongnu in the north and the country was in a weak state, so he repeatedly tolerated it and was called the king of the Nanhai." Emperor Jing's voice became more and more harsh: "Gaozu sent Lu Jia to persuade Zhao Tuo, the late emperor sent Yuan Ang to serve as an envoy, and Nanyue had always surrendered. However, they were just obedient on the surface, but in their hearts, they thought that the Han Dynasty had been pestering the Xiongnu and had no choice but to deal with them. So they obeyed and wanted to hold the land of Lingnan. I kept you in Chang'an, because I was worried that once the north was defeated, you could clean up the mess. Now, Zhou Yang has more than 4,000 Qin crossbows in his hand, and the north has no worries, and you will also stay in Chang'an again. You go south and try to recover the land of Baiyue!"

Zhou Yafu likes to use troops the most. When he heard this, he was not unhappy. His eyebrows were flying and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have been waiting for your will! Although the power of Baiyue is not as powerful as that of the Han Dynasty, it also restrained a large part of the Han Dynasty's military strength. In the future, it will be a battle to fight all the national strength. Now that Baiyue is recovered, it would be the best!"

Baiyue was in the south and the Huns were in the north. One south and one north attacked each other at the same time, which echoed each other. The Han Dynasty was extremely strategically disadvantageous. If you first solve the South Vietnam problem, you don’t have to worry about a fire in the backyard, and you can concentrate the whole country’s efforts to fight the Huns. This move is of great significance.

Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan Island, and northern Vietnam, this is a large area of ​​land that must be collected!

"Zhou Yafu, remember, if you can force yourself, you will force yourself. If you really can't do it, just dispatch troops to attack Lingnan. All the soldiers in the south will be transferred to you! This is the tiger talisman, you have taken it away." Emperor Jing said in an extremely excited manner.

Zhou Yang did not expect that on his trip to Hetao, he brought back more than 4,000 Qin crossbows, which actually caused Emperor Jing to change his course with Baiyue, and his previous comfort suddenly turned into a military power.
Chapter completed!
