Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 485
Lu Tai was shaken awake from his sleep. Seeing that it was his younger brother Lu Chan, he drew his sword and asked sharply, "Second brother, could it be that the Huns launched a night attack?"

Lu Chan hurriedly said: "No, brother, the Huns seem to have retreated."

"What? The Huns retreated?!" Lu Tai was stunned when he heard the words, and immediately walked out of the watchtower with Lu Chan, and looked out of the city while leaning on the battlements. Shipped to the ox cart, and the cavalry continued to assemble, and then drove to the north in a mighty way.

At some point, Lu Ze and Lu Lu also came to Lu Tai's side.

"Brother, why did the Huns suddenly withdraw their troops? This matter is so strange."

"Could this ferocious old wolf, Mao Dun, be playing some kind of conspiracy?"

Lu Chan also said to Lu Tai worriedly: "It's hard to say, Mao Dun is vicious and cunning like a fox, maybe he will really take advantage of our slack to suddenly attack back."

Lu Tai's heart shivered, and he said in a deep voice: "If you pass on the order, it will be said that this is a trick of the Huns, and there must be no slack in every song." If this is in Xianyang, no matter whether the Huns really retreat or fake retreat, Lu Tai would try to find out the bottom line of the Huns, but this was in the Yueshi Royal City, and Lu Tai had too many constraints.

Lu Chan said: "Brother, what I'm worried about is the Yuezhi people."

Lu Tai said: "The Yuezhi people, I will go and tell the Yuezhi King."

King Yueshi was naturally overjoyed when he heard that the Huns had retreated, but when Lu Tai said that it was a trick of the Huns, he was a little worried that this was a trick of the Huns, so he ordered all sects to strengthen their guard, but they didn't know that the Huns had undergone a major change, and Mao Dun was dead. King Zuoxian and King Zuoguli were busy fighting for the throne of Shanyu, and had no intention of continuing to use troops against Yuezhi.

If the Yuezhi people go out of the city to chase and kill them at this time, they can definitely win a big battle, but unfortunately, the Yuezhi people have been frightened by the Huns, and they dare not go out of the city to chase and kill them. With such courage, the Huns probably wouldn't be so entrusted with brazenly raising their torches to break out of the camp.

When the Xiongnu Youxian King and Zuo Guli King rushed to Juyanze with their army, Bai Mo and Zhou Guanfu had already led the Han army hussars and disappeared. Only the vast Juyanze was full of human and animal corpses.

The tens of thousands of women, children, cattle and sheep left behind by Bai Mo's inspiration really played a role.

With an army of more than 30 Huns plus [-] to [-] riders from Xiutu and Hunxie, horses can still eat grass, but people must eat or eat meat, so the daily consumption of meat is an astronomical figure. Originally, the Huns brought Nearly a million cattle and sheep are almost enough, but now that these cattle and sheep are gone, food is a big problem.

The only [-] head of cattle and sheep left by the Han army immediately sparked competition among the Huns.

Of course, there is a powerful support tribe, and the rest of the small tribes have no chance, but the problem is that the support tribe is also divided into factions. The largest faction is naturally the Shanyu headquarters, but now it has no leader, the second largest faction It is the tribe of King Zuoxian, and now the same group of dragons has no leader, and the next is King Youxian and King Zuoguli.

And the Youxian King and the Left and Right Guli Kings were competing for the position of Shan Yu, so naturally they would not give in.

There are also more than 2 women and children. The competition among the Huns is more intense, because cattle and sheep are only used to wrap their stomachs, but women and children represent the future of the tribe. Under the premise of losing a large number of women and children, which tribe will get it? The only women and children left may mean that this tribe will become the overlord of the entire desert in the future.

The scramble for women, children, cattle and sheep eventually led to a large-scale melee!

The sudden death of Maodun and the harm that King Zuoxian brought to the Xiongnu when he was young finally showed up. Due to the lack of a leader in the army who could convince the masses, the entire Supporting Li tribe split into King Youxian, King Zuoguli, and King Zuoguli. The three military groups headed by King Youguli and dozens of small tribes were also involved.

The uncle said that seeing the situation was in danger of getting out of control, he decided to intervene.

Uncle Gong said that he first came to the army of Youxian King Gu Nuoyan, and persuaded him: "Youxian King, if the melee continues like this, the entire Supporting Li tribe will be finished, and the Huns will also be finished. The Great Shanyu has a spirit in the sky. I absolutely don’t want to see such a situation, I think it’s better to turn hostility into friendship and discuss everything.”

"Are we discussing it?" Gu Nuoyan said coldly, "Military Master, go and talk to King Zuoguli and King Youguli. In terms of status, this king is one level above them. In terms of qualifications and age, this king is also inferior. They are better than them, why should they challenge this king? Why should they compete with this king for the position of Chanyu, huh?!"

Uncle Gong shook his head and sighed, "It's probably impossible to persuade King Zuoguli and King Youguli to give up the fight for the position of Chanyu, but if you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid that no one will win in the end." If we fail to make this great order, we will end up benefiting the Donghu people, the Yuezhi people and even the Central Plains people in vain.”

Gu Nuoyan was silent, he knew that what the uncle said was not alarmist.

Gu Nuoyan is also very clear that it would be dangerous to continue fighting with Gao Aduo and Kayitu. The final result can only be that the vitality of the entire Supporting Li tribe will be greatly damaged. Maybe it will also lead to the sudden rise of a small tribe, and then replace the supporter tribe's dominance in Mobei.

At this time, Gu Nuoyan and the others still don't know that Mobei has undergone great changes. If they know the news of the great changes in Mobei, they may not fight each other. The reason is very simple. After losing most of the women, children, cattle and sheep After the livestock, the first thing they need to consider is how to survive, not to fight for power and profit.

Uncle Gong said again: "I don't know if King You Xian has thought about it, but now we have lost most of the women, children, cattle, sheep and livestock that accompanied the army, and it will be thousands of miles to return to Shan Yuting. Supplies, I am afraid that when we return to Shanyu Court, at least half of the three 10,000+ troops will starve to death."

Gu Nuo said angrily, "Then what's your idea?"

"Stop the army immediately, and then work together to loot Guanzhong!" The uncle said with a palpitating coldness in his cold eyes, "Firstly, to avenge the great Shanyu and the women and children who died in Juyanze, secondly, Raise enough rations, and thirdly, we can also rob women and children from Guanzhong to make up for the losses caused by this expedition."

After pondering for a moment, Gu Nuoyan said, "Military Master, I have no objection to the matter of joining forces to loot Guanzhong, but I am afraid that Gao A Duo and Ka Yitu will not agree."

"King Youxian, King Zuoguli and King Youguli will be handed over to me." The uncle said with a confident smile, "I can persuade them." The uncle said that he was smiling on his lips, but he was sneering in his heart. Convincing Gu Nuoyan, Gao Aduo, and Ka Yitu to temporarily stop the melee, and joining forces to loot the pass is just a means, not his purpose.

When the Xiongnu army was fighting endlessly in Juyanze, Bai Mo and Zhou Guanfu had already traveled day and night, leading [-] Han army hussars to the bank of Xiutuze.

Xiutu Ze, named after the Xiutu tribe, has always been the habitat of the Xiutu people.

Between Xiutuze and Hexi is the territory of the Hunxie tribe. On the Hexi grassland next to the Hetao, the Xiutu tribe and the Hunxie tribe are the two largest tribes, and the remaining small tribes have the largest population of no more than [-]. The rest of the people are basically attached to the wings of these two big tribes.

After destroying the Huns camp in Juyanze, the Hussars of the Han army made a special detour to Xiutuze. It is self-evident that they wanted to continue slaughtering the women, children, cattle and sheep of the Hexi tribes such as Xiutu and Hunxie, and completely wiped out the Huns. The possibility of the army snatching cattle, sheep and livestock from the herdsmen in Hexi completely cut off the logistical support of the Xiongnu army.

Of course, Bai Mo also took a lot of risks in this desperate plan.

The Huns were unable to plunder cattle, sheep and livestock from Hexi, so they would inevitably turn their attention to Guanzhong on the other side of the river. If the Han army could not defend the river-Great Wall defense line, the land of Guanzhong would suffer unprecedented catastrophe. However, if the Han army successfully defended The river water-the Great Wall line of defense, the Xiongnu will most likely be devastated, and the northern border troubles will be completely relieved from then on.

Once the border troubles in the north are completely eliminated, Bai Mo will be able to free up his hands to fully manage the Hanzhong Defense Line and the Tongguan Defense Line. The country continues to give Zhou Shi, and the final result of the struggle between Chu and Han is still unknown.

"Woo..." Bai Mo lightly stopped the mount under his crotch, then lightly raised his right hand, and the [-] hussars following fiercely behind him quickly spread out towards the two wings.

Zhou Guanfu rode his horse to come behind Bai Mo, and looking around, he saw a large blue lake in front of him. Tens of thousands of Xiutu tents were scattered on the lakeside. You can even hear the barking of dogs and the yelling of cattle and sheep, which is an idyllic scene of paradise.

Seeing the hussars of the Han army suddenly appearing on the horizon in the distance, Xiu Tuze, who was originally quiet and peaceful, suddenly became agitated, and then a group of Xiu Tu Ze cavalry swarmed out of the camp, either with wooden horse forks , or holding a bronze sword, or waving a short bow, shouting and starting to gather in a mess.

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Guanfu's mouth. A group of native chickens and tile dogs are also worthy to compete with the big man's hussars?
A trace of pity suddenly appeared in Bai Mo's eyes. After a while, this quiet and peaceful paradise in front of him may become another Juyanze. The hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and livestock here will inevitably suffer horribly. The fate of the slaughter, as well as all the women, children, old and young, will also be slaughtered at will by the Hussars of the Han army like livestock.

Because of the shortage of food, the Huns went south every year to dig grass and valleys to survive. Because of the unstable state of the Han Kingdom, they had to ruthlessly slaughter the Huns and women and children. It was also for survival. The two sides are actually the same in essence. No one is nobler or more just than anyone else, and this is probably the true meaning of war.
