The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 165
As time went by, the situation within the Xiongnu became increasingly strange.

The eastern territory of the Xiongnu, the fiefdom of King Youxian and King Youguli.

Erti just came back from King Youxian today, but he got some news that made him ecstatic.

King Youxian wanted to lead his troops to the royal court and asked the Great Chanyu for the sacred bird.

The reason given was very euphemistic. King Youxian said that he had never seen what the sacred bird looked like, so he wanted to invite the sacred bird to his fief and support him for a period of time.

Wait for a while and then return the sacred bird.

This is what King Youxian said to him personally.

Before telling him, King Youxian's request had been sent to the royal court to inform Yi Zhixie.

"In this case, let's just watch the show quietly!"

A smile appeared on Erti's lips, and then he arranged for his confidants behind him and said: "Send someone to inform my sons to train hard in the past few days. The opportunity to make achievements is coming!"

……

……

Dahan, Daijun.

Li Guang led his army to station in the border area between Daijun and the Xiongnu. A few years ago, the Han army set up an ambush and captured prisoners here and killed all the elites of the previous Xiongnu Chanyu. However, even so, the Xiongnu only suffered flesh wounds.

With the military strength of the Han Dynasty, it was still unable to defeat the Xiongnu.

And now it's different!

The army of the Han Dynasty has been prepared.

In the wilderness, in a rather vast valley between the mountains, [-] soldiers and horses led by Li Guang were stationed here.

The tents are like dark clouds, stretching to the horizon.

In a tent, Li Guang was seen sitting at the top, and below him were a group of military generals.

Among them was Bowang Hou Zhang Qian, who came from Xianyang a few days ago. Opposite Zhang Qian, sat a young and somewhat immature general.

Zhang Qian recognized the other party. His name was Huo Qubing. He grew up beside the emperor and was quite popular with his majesty.

This time, he also serves as a deputy general under Li Guang. At critical moments, he can also lead the battle alone!
At this time, Li Guang, who was sitting above him, suddenly spoke, with a solemn face and a hint of excitement, saying: "According to the reports from the scouts, King You Xian, King Zuo Xian, and King Zuo Guli of the Xiongnu all started. Lead the troops to approach the Xiongnu Royal Court, and at the same time, according to the information sent by the spies from the Xiongnu Royal Court, the Xiongnu Chanyu has now received requests from various Xiongnu ministries for the sacred bird!"

"Of course, the Chanyu of the Xiongnu definitely doesn't want to give it to him. Who wouldn't want to take it as his own if he has a magical bird?"

"so!"

Li Guang stood up and said: "The Xiongnu are about to be in chaos, and the conflicts accumulated within the Xiongnu are about to explode together!"

"Our time has come!"

"General, please give the order quickly, the generals in the army can't wait!"

Huo Qubing, who was opposite Zhang Qian, could be seen looking for a fight. The armor on his body shone with a cold metal light, which was breathtaking.

"This time, the general plans to divide his troops into three groups. One way will go west to attack the Xiongnu King Zuoxian's lair. The other group will go northwest to attack the Zuo Guli King's lair. The last one will wait for an opportunity to attack the Xiongnu King. Leave the court!"

Hearing Li Guang's deployment, Zhang Qian on the side expressed his worries and said: "Isn't this too aggressive? After all, we are not familiar with the internal military deployment of the Xiongnu. Even with the map I provided, I’m afraid I’m in danger of getting lost!”

"It's okay!"

However, Li Guang was unmoved. He said confidently: "Now the main force of the Xiongnu has been attracted by the divine bird in the Xiongnu royal court. The divine bird has created such a good opportunity for us, how can we lose it?"

Next, Li Guang began to arrange generals.He led a group of soldiers and horses to the royal court, and arranged for another general to attack King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu.

Zhang Qian led [-] soldiers and horses to attack the Xiongnu Zuogu Li King, hoping to defeat them one by one and cut off the lairs of each Xiongnu tribe.

Then, he once again led his troops towards the Xiongnu Palace and met at the Xiongnu Palace.

……

Zhang Qian led [-] troops and horses and slowly headed northwest.Beside him was the young general Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing looked at Zhang Qian on the side, and then said: "The grassland is vast, the direction is difficult to distinguish, and there is no obstruction. My subordinates recommend marching quickly!"

"good!"

Zhang Qian heard what Huo Qubing said and agreed with it.

I couldn't help but take a serious look at Huo Qubing. I didn't expect that at such a young age, Huo Qubing actually knew how to use troops quickly.

After that, he ordered the whole army to march at full speed.

On the other side, Li Guang also led his army to the Xiongnu royal court and acted according to the plan.

……

In the royal court of the Huns, Bai Zhi stood on the beams of the palace, looking at the angry Yi Zhixie Chanyu below, calculating in his mind whether the time had come.

Yi Zhixie, who was below, kicked over the table in front of him because he had already received the news that the Xiongnu tribes had led their troops to the royal court.

Although the kings of each tribe said that they were for the sacred bird, how could Yi Zhixie Chanyu not know that their real purpose was to gain the throne of the Huns!
"No reason!"

"No reason!"

"..."

Yi Zhixie's Shanyu was furious and kept repeating curse words in his mouth, "I haven't had time to deal with them, but they came to threaten me first!"

It turned out that he planned to ask the Han for the sacred bird to prove that he had the destiny of heaven, and also to make the various tribes of the Huns surrender and truly surrender to him.

However, he didn't expect that the effect would be exactly the opposite, and they would actually threaten him!
He looked at his confidants and asked, "Who has led the troops to the royal court?"

"Returning to Chanyu, there are King You Xian, King Zuo Xian, and King Zuo Guli!"

"Huh? King Yougu Li didn't come?"

Yi Zhixie showed a look of confusion on his face.

"not at all!"

Hearing the answer from his confidant, Yi Zhixie Chanyu immediately showed a smile on his face, and then said quickly: "Send someone to inform King Youguli, Erti, and tell him to send troops to contain King Youxian. After the incident is completed, this Chanyu will have Thank you very much!”

Hearing that Erti did not lead his army to the royal court, Yi Zhixie Chanyu thought that Erti was not interested in the sacred bird and was still loyal to him, so he ordered like this.

"Yes!"

Watching his confidants leave, Yi Zhixie immediately walked out of the palace and then came outside the royal court. He looked at the soldiers training on the grassland outside with a confident smile on his face.

He felt that his army was definitely stronger than the other Xiongnu tribes, so he was not afraid of the coming of the Xiongnu tribes.

……

The territory of the Xiongnu Youxian King.

Erti received news from Wang Ting Yi Zhixie Chanyu.

"Huh? You actually want me to defend you against King Youxian's troops? What a beautiful thought!"

Erti immediately burned the letter, and then said to the people on the side: "Send someone to tell King Youxian that the Shanyu ordered me to stop his troops from entering the royal court!"

The soldier took the order and left. After a while, he returned and reported: "Back to the king, King Youxian said that he is willing to give the eastern fiefdom to the king. I only ask that the king will not stop him!"

"Okay, tell King Youxian that I agree!"

Immediately, he said to the people on the other side: "Send someone to the royal court and tell the Chanyu that I, Erti, have always been loyal to the Xiongnu, and will definitely stop the troops of King Youxian!"

After arranging everything, Erti stood up, walked out of the tent, and said, "Let's go and accept the new land given to us by King Youxian!"

With that said, he took two thousand soldiers and horses and headed south.

……

……

Big man.

Chang'an City.

On the streets of the city, from time to time there would be Hong Ling messengers galloping through the city on horseback, but when the officials in the city saw this, they did not dare to do anything to stop them.Gein, these Hongling messengers conveyed the important military information of the Han Dynasty fighting against the Huns in the north.

Moreover, there is also a clear law in the Han Dynasty Laws: Anyone who blocks Hong Ling's messenger without reason will be killed!
Within the imperial palace, there is Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty was sitting in the Qingliang Hall. He was sitting on the throne. On the table in front of him were a large number of bamboo slips, all of which were documents from the northern battlefield.

At the same time, he stood up and came to the huge map hanging on the wall to observe carefully.

Behind him are the important officials of the court.

Taiwei Dou Ying, Prime Minister Tian Fu, etc. were among them. They frowned, looked at the documents in their hands, and were deep in thought.

But I heard Dou Ying say:

"It seems that the Xiongnu has become chaotic. According to military information, all the Xiongnu tribes are leading troops to the royal court of the Xiongnu to seize the sacred bird!"

"I'm afraid, it's fake to seize the divine bird, but it's true to seize the single in position!"

Tian Ying on the side said sharply: "This is also thanks to me, the Han Dynasty, who sent so many people to infiltrate the Xiongnu and spread rumors. Otherwise, I am afraid that the various Xiongnu tribes would not have the courage!"

"In any case, General Li Guang's arrangement is a good strategy!"

"First cut off the rear areas of the Xiongnu tribes, and also cut off their food and grass supplies, and then go to the royal court of the Xiongnu. First, watch from the wall and watch the Xiongnu fight with each other, and finally, sit back and reap the benefits!"

At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che came over and said, "I believe the latest battle report will be here soon!"

When everyone heard this, they all showed expectant expressions.

……

In 132 BC, the Han Dynasty sent the sacred bird to the Xiongnu, and then implemented the strategy of "returning the bird to Qin" to cause chaos to the Xiongnu.

The Han sent troops to attack the Xiongnu and defeated them!
Among them, Zhang Qian led [-] soldiers and horses to attack the fiefdom of King Zuoguli of the Xiongnu. He killed ten thousand Xiongnu people and captured hundreds of Xiongnu women and children, as well as tens of thousands of cattle and sheep!
Zhang Qian burned the fiefdom and tents of King Zuoli Li of the Xiongnu and returned to the Han Dynasty with a large amount of loot.

At the same time, he sent his deputy general Huo Qubing to lead three thousand cavalry to the south of Hongzuo Xianwang.

At that time, the generals of the Han Dynasty had arrived at the fiefdom of King Zuoxian and fought with the Xiongnu.

However, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu had [-] Xiongnu cavalry in his fiefdom, and the Han generals advanced rashly. The Xiongnu scouts learned of this in advance and entered the Xiongnu ambush.

Fortunately, Huo Qubing led [-] soldiers and horses as a surprise force, breaking the Xiongnu ambush. They cooperated internally and externally, and completely annihilated the [-] Xiongnu cavalry left by the Xiongnu Zuoxian King to guard the fiefdom.

Killed nearly half of them and captured more than [-] people!

At the same time, he attacked the territory of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu, slaughtered the Xiongnu, and obtained cattle and sheep to avenge the past!
East.

Wei Qing led an army to attack the territory of King Youxian of the Xiongnu. At the same time, he joined forces with Erti, King of Youxian of the Xiongnu, to completely swallow up the land of King Youxian of the Xiongnu.

After replenishing supplies, Wei Qing once again led the army towards the Xiongnu royal court, falling behind the army of the Xiongnu Youxian King, and had already formed an encirclement with Li Guang's troops!
In the Xiongnu royal court, Yi Zhixie has learned that the various Xiongnu tribes are not far from Dragon City, and even King Youxian has sent a letter asking him to hand over the divine bird!

Yi Zhixie laughed angrily, immediately ordered his troops and headed towards where King Xian was on the right.

At the same time, other Xiongnu tribes also came within a hundred miles of the royal court. For a while, Yizhixie Shanyu seemed to be in danger of being destroyed.

At the same time, Bai Zhi looked at the direction in which Yi Zhixie Shanyu left. With a thought, his figure disappeared instantly. When he reappeared, he was already in the Divine Bird Temple in Lishan Mountain.

"Finally home!"

Bai Zhi's heart suddenly became extremely relaxed.

Just then, he discovered that there was a person in the palace, who was sweeping the palace. It seemed that he was particularly shocked by Bai Zhi's sudden appearance.

"is her……"

Bai Zhi was stunned.Then he remembered that the other party was one of the women rescued from the Huns, named Liyue.

"I've seen the magical bird!"

Liyue noticed the divine bird's gaze and immediately saluted respectfully.

Bai Zhi looked at Liyue's familiar face and naturally knew that the other person just looked similar.

However, something suddenly occurred to him, and he immediately asked: "Where are you from?"

"Hui Shenniao, my ancestral home is Xianyang..."

"Xianyang..."

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, looked at Liyue's appearance carefully again, and asked again: "Who is your ancestor?"

Liyue: "..."

Bai Zhi's answer was a short silence.

At this point, Bai Zhi understood.

"So, you are from the Zhao family..."

"Zhao Liyue?"

"Exactly!"

Zhao Liyue nodded respectfully.

At this point, the doubts in Bai Zhi's heart were finally solved. No wonder they were so similar in appearance. They turned out to be descendants of the Qin clan.

As for the situation at the end of Qin Dynasty, Bai Zhi didn't know. As a member of the Qin clan, although the clan would not be exterminated, it is conceivable that the lives of those who come after him will not be very good.

Otherwise, he would not have appeared at the border and might even have been kidnapped by the Huns.

"From now on, you will be in the Divine Bird Palace!"

"Of course, if you want to go down the mountain, I won't stop you..."

……

"I've seen the magical bird!"

Weiyang Palace, Qingliang Palace.

Bai Zhi's sudden appearance immediately caused everyone in the palace to salute respectfully.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty above, also smiled when he saw Bai Zhi suddenly appearing.

At the same time, he said: "The sacred bird has returned safely. It must be that the situation in the Xiongnu Royal Court has developed in the direction expected!"

"That's right!"

Bai Zhi nodded.

"Now the Xiongnu Chanyu is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the Han soldiers and horses only need to wait for the right opportunity to reap the benefits!"

"The Han Dynasty can easily counterattack the Xiongnu, thanks to the power of the divine bird!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said sincerely.

"Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the Huns have been harassing the Han people all the time. Today, they can finally avenge their shame!"

For a time, everyone in the hall was full of expectations.

……

As time passed, the war between the north and the Huns continued.

Although the bases of the Xiongnu tribes have been basically eliminated, there are still small groups of Huns who are constantly at war with the Han army.

At the same time, you also need to be wary of Xiongnu scouts and go to the Xiongnu royal court to inform the Han Dynasty of using troops against the Xiongnu.

"Strange, why haven't the scouts from the fiefdom arrived in the past few days?"

Inside a Xiongnu army camp, the Xiongnu Youxian King looked confused.

When he came, in order to ensure the stability of the rear area, he ordered his men to send people to tell him the news in the fief every once in a while, but at this moment, a long time had passed and no news had been sent.

This made him very puzzled.
