Every winter, most of the Xiongnu herders will return to the winter camps in Langjuxu Mountain, but not all tribes will do this. Therefore, the Chu-Yan coalition forces went north and encountered small tribes with sporadic tribes. All of these small tribes were cruelly slaughtered, and they were left without leaving any chickens and dogs. [This article comes from the Literature Museum.]

Half a month after entering the desert, the coalition forces appeared by a lake.

The lake is not big, with a radius of more than ten miles, but the water plants around it are extremely abundant. Groups of cattle, sheep, horses and camels are leisurely eating grass on the grassland. The grassland is green and vast, with clusters of sheep and cattle like white or yellow patterns dotted on it, which is so magnificent that it is breathtaking.

However, the scenery I see next is not beautiful at all.

On the north bank of the lake, there are more than a hundred burnt tents scattered, and many of them even smoked. This place should have been a settlement of a small Hun tribe, but at this time, it had long become the Shura Blood Prison. Under the butcher knife of Huyan and the Five Hundred Wolf Cavalry, there was no living creature here, regardless of humans or animals.

Bi Shu turned over and dismounted and said to Meng Shu. Prince Yan Zangyan: "Let's camp here tonight."

"Oh!" Meng Dan, Zang Yan responded with a loud noise, and each ordered the command troops to issue military orders to station on the spot. Then, dozens of cavalry commanded the cavalry and flew away. After the military order was issued, teams of cavalry soldiers turned over and dismounted, and then removed the tents and equipment from the horse's back to prepare for camping. The scouts who were in charge of the guard also dispersed with the camp as the center.

The quiet and peaceful lake suddenly became noisy, and the cattle and sheep that were eating grass leisurely on the grass were dragged to the lake to slaughter. In less than a moment, tens of thousands of bonfires rose from the open space by the lake, and the fat sheep that were washed and peeled were also put on the fire, and the smell of barbecue soon spread in the air.

Marching on the desert is awful, but today I can finally have a feast.

Bi Shu walked into the burned Hun camp surrounded by Meng Shu, Zangyan and hundreds of personal soldiers. (--net.)

The entire camp was scattered with wooden barrels, pottery, porcelain and other living utensils, as well as many broken and dumped ox carts, which can be judged from the messy traces on the ground. This small tribe seemed to want to escape before bad luck came. Unfortunately, Huyan's five hundred wolf riders came too fast and they had no time to run.

Meng Yan found two corpses hugging each other tightly in the blood-soaked grass. A young mother was holding her child. A flying spear penetrated her vest and penetrated her chest. Both of them were already angry for a long time. Seeing this extremely tragic scene, Meng Yan couldn't help but sigh. The wolf rider refused to let go of the child.

Bi Shu also sighed and said, "It seems that the hatred between the Huyan tribe and the Huns is very deep."

Meng Wu nodded and said, "I know a little about this last general. It is said that the Huyan tribe was originally one of the largest tribes among the Huns. Its strength is not below the Zhuanli tribe, and it also occupies the most abundant water and grassland on the banks of the Gonglu River. The tribe reproduces very quickly, and it is precisely because of this that it was suspected by Maodun."

Bi Shu said: "So, Maodun started the war?"

Meng Feng said: "Yes. Maodun gathered more than a dozen Hun tribes and launched a siege against the Huyan tribe. A fierce battle occurred on the banks of the Gonglu River. Tens of thousands of strong men from the Huyan tribe were killed, and all the women and children were stolen. Huyan only led hundreds of cavalry to break through the encirclement, but Maodun still refused to give up and chased Huyan's remaining troops to Jiuyuan."

Bi Shu said: "It turns out that there is still this grudge between Huyan and the Huns, so it's no wonder."

Meng Shu said: "General Hu Yan's behavior is still a bit too far. Have you sent someone to give a military order? Of course, the Huns men must be killed, but can they let their women and children go?"

Bi Shu sighed and said helplessly: "How come the king once issued an edict. This time he went deep into the desert and encountered the Huns. No matter men and women, no matter how old or young, he would kill them all, and no chicken or dog would be left behind!"

"What?" Meng Fengqi said in disbelief, "There is an imperial edict?"

Bi Shu nodded gently and said, "General Meng, don't think too much. If you don't kill these Xiong women, they will nurture dozens of Xiongnu baby boys in a few years. At most twenty years, these Xiongnu baby boys will grow into brave and warlike Xiongnu cavalry. Therefore, you just think that you are eliminating hidden dangers for future generations and descendants.--net."

"That's right." Meng Xu said thoughtfully, "This is called preventing problems before they happen."

"call out……"

Hu Yan shot an arrow, and the heavy wolf-toothed arrow instantly drew a faint trajectory in the air. The Hu Yan's arrow was directly shot through his entire head, and the sharp cluster of arrows shot in from the back of his head and then came out of the face. The Huns died without even saying a word.

The black wolf turned over and dismounted, pulled out a whistle from the Huns' sac, and said, "General, he is a whistleman!"

The black bear showed fierce eyes, waved the mace in his hand fiercely, and then said with a ferocious face: "So there is a camp nearby? We can do it again, hehe."

Black Wolf lay down carefully to the cow, sheep and horse hoof prints on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "This is a veteran. He wants to take us away from the camp." After saying that, Black Wolf stood up and pointed to the northeast and said, "The scale of this camp is probably not small, it should be in this direction, and the distance will not exceed ten miles!"

Hu Yan said in a grim voice: "How many people will be in this tribe?"

The black wolf said decisively: "At least five hundred people, no more than two thousand people at most."

"There are less than two thousand people, at most five hundred strong men!" Hu Yan's mouth suddenly had a trace of extremely ferocious murderous intent, and he raised his head to the sky and called a wolf howl. In the deep artemisia bushes behind him, hundreds of horses riding horses were suddenly turned up. On the backs of these hundreds of horses, five hundred wolf riding horses were already waiting.

Hu Yan raised his right hand and pressed forward hard. The five hundred wolf cavalry immediately rushed forward like a flood that broke the dike.

The black wolf is worthy of being the lone wolf on the grassland that is best at tracking. Five hundred wolf riding forward is less than ten miles away, and a winding river appears in front of him. The water and grass on both sides of the river are rich, and clusters of cattle, sheep and horses are scattered. In the river berth not far away, there are tents scattered, and at least three or five hundred tents are scattered.

Five Hundred Wolf Riders were excited at first.

Almost at the same time, the Huns also discovered the arrival of these "horse thieves". Amid the angry shouts, Hun men kept getting out of the tent, picking up horse forks, and then turning over and coming to meet here. In less than a hundred cavalry gathered on the river beach, and more Huns gathered here.

Hu Yan slowly pulled out the Mute Moon Sword, and an extremely cruel grinning appeared on the corner of his mouth. In a vague way, an extremely tragic scene on the banks of the Lugong River twenty years ago appeared in front of his eyes.

Today, we can finally avenge the dead tribe!

Lu Tai had already led three thousand elite Han troops to the royal city of the Yuezhi people.

It is said to be a royal city, but it is actually a small earth city with a radius of only ten miles. The Yuezhi people were also nomadic tribes and had no habit of building cities to settle down. It was not until after forming an alliance with the Han Kingdom twenty years ago that a dirt city was built near the Yuezhi Ze with the help of Han craftsmen, which is the current Yuezhi Royal City.

In Lu Tai's opinion, the defense ability of this royal city is undoubtedly quite poor. The city wall is rammed with earth, and the surface is not covered with blue bricks. The strength is obviously insufficient, so it is difficult to withstand the impact of the city hammer; the city wall is not high enough, but the two-meter-high city wall is more than enough to resist the invasion of wild beasts. If you want to block the army's attack, you will obviously be unable to meet the strength.

But this is not the worst. The worst thing is that the Yuezhi people have no concept of repairing the city. The royal city has collapsed for several periods less than twenty years after it was built. If these gaps cannot be repaired before the arrival of the Huns, then the city will not be able to play any defensive role.

The only good news is that the Yuezhi people were obviously extremely afraid of the Huns, so they showed great enthusiasm for the arrival of Lutai. Although Lutai only brought three thousand infantry troops, they disappointed the Yuezhi King and the four tribes of Shehou, they still showed great enthusiasm for defending the city. In the eyes of the Yuezhi people, the people in the Central Plains were all the people who defended the city.

Accompanied by King Yuezhi and the Four Tribes of the Hou, Lu Tai finally said: "King Yuezhi, if you can agree to this general's three conditions, this general can guarantee you that the King Yuezhi City will not fall within at least six months!" Of course, Lu Tai would not speak Yuezhi, but Hu Shang, who is proficient in Central Plastics, is responsible for the translation.

King Yuezhi hurriedly said, "As long as you can defend the royal city, not to mention three conditions, even thirty conditions are fine."

Lu Tai nodded and stretched out three hands: "First, from now on, the Yuezhi men near the royal city must unconditionally accept the general's condemnation, repair and strengthen the city wall; second, recruit all women and children, and ox, horses and vehicles to transport as much black oil as possible to the city; third, create a large amount of corpse poison and filth all water sources in Hexi."

"Okay, do as you please, do as you please." The Yuezhi Wang nodded repeatedly and agreed.

The Kushan Hou She asked again, "I dare to ask the general, what if the Huns refuse to withdraw their troops six months later? Will the Han Dynasty launch a large army to attack the Huns?"

"The Huns are less than six months old." Lu Tai said coldly, "My prime minister has already made arrangements."

Lu Tai did not think that Bai Mo's arrangement could play a role. Not to mention whether the scout of the Han army could find the logistics base for the Huns to hide women, children, cows and sheep in the vast desert. Even if they find it, it would be difficult to get what they wished. The Huns would definitely leave enough troops to protect women, children, cows and sheep. How easy is it to intercept their retreat?

But no matter what, Bai Mo is now the prime minister, what can Lu Tai say?

The only thing Lu Tai could do was to help the Yuezhi people defend the royal city, and nothing else was his business.

However, after hearing Lu Tai said that Bai Mo had already made arrangements, the King of Yuezhi and the Four Dukes of Xu Hou finally felt a little relieved. No matter what, the Battle of Hexi had the Great Han Kingdom as the backing of Yuezhi, which was much better than the Yuezhi people alone facing the Huns.
