Chapter 256

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Qing Xia glanced at everyone, her eyes looked lazy, but there was an indescribable sharpness in them, she put down the white jade button in her hand, cleared her throat, and said in a deep voice: "I just received the news that Yan Hui has taken over the northern Xiongnu. Now, the Huns' army has entered the territory of Xichuan and joined forces with Xichuan Yan's army."

"What?" There was an uproar in the barracks. Everyone led the army all the year round, so they naturally knew what it meant.Lu Zhongyong was still calm, frowned and said: "I don't know where the news of the governor came from, why didn't the general get any news at the end?"

Of course Qingxia has her own news channel, but if she directly tells about her relationship with Zhu Yuanqing, people will probably guess her identity by following the clues.Yi said: "When your Majesty left, he left the secret camp to me, so my news is faster than yours."

A veteran with a gray beard and hair who was about fifty years old said: "The Huns are cruel, how could Yan Hui let them enter Xichuan? Isn't this digging his own grave?"

Another officer echoed: "Old General Bai is right. Although Yan Hui's actions are upside-down, he is not so ignorant. The news from the governor can't be wrong."

Qing Xia said in a deep voice: "I dare to guarantee my wealth and life, the news is absolutely correct."

Lu Zhongyong pondered for a while, then murmured: "However, even if the Huns entered the pass, the governor would not be so panicked by calling everyone here late at night. It should be the Qin people who bear the brunt. Could it be that the actions of the Huns are not good for us?" Big Chu is not good?"

Qing Xia smiled slightly, shook his head in an inscrutable manner, and said: "You don't know Yan Hui, he never does business at a loss. The Xiongnu borders the Great Qin, let the Xiongnu restrain the Northern Qin's military power outside the pass, and enter the pass What is the difference between competing with Northern Qin on the border of Xichuan? Since he let the Xiongnu enter the pass, it must be a conspiracy, have you all figured out what he is planning?"

Everyone meditated for a while, and after a long time, a handsome Confucian general in his early 30s changed his expression and said, "Could it be that he wants to use the hands of the Huns to deal with me, Great Chu?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, Qing Xia nodded, and said: "Exactly, Yan Hui must have promised to restrain the Great Qin in the north, and then give me the southeast to the Huns as a horse farm. Let these simple-minded barbarians, Huahuajiangshan, who came to fetch me from Dachu."

"No reason!"

The generals were furious, and they all cursed Yan Hui for being nothing, despicable words, and some generals even asked to lead their troops to a decisive battle with the Xiongnu.Lu Zhongyong let out a deep snort, and said, "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient, and listen to the words of the supervisor."

At this time, no one dared to underestimate her, Qing Xia cleared her throat, and said: "Xi Chuan and I, Da Chu, will have a battle sooner or later. Yan Hui must have seen this before letting the Xiongnu enter the customs, and to act first Strong. The Huns came aggressively, and the Xihei Grassland was the first to bear the brunt. I expected that they would be the first to attack Huanchao City, because the Huns cavalry were brave, and there were many mountainous swamps and pools elsewhere, and horses could not run at all. Moreover, His Majesty’s way back to Beijing, It must pass through Xihei, this is the most urgent thing right now."

"The governor is right," the Confucian general said, "With your Majesty's horse speed, even if we march in a hurry, it will be difficult to catch up. Moreover, even if we catch up, this battle will be inevitable. Even if we win, it will be a big battle." It will hurt your vitality. It will be difficult to intervene in the Xichuan war again, Yan Hui must be sure of this point."

"Yes, so we have to find a way, how can we avoid this battle."

"Could it be?" Old General Bai said: "Do you want to chase His Majesty back? Or bypass Xihei and go back by boat."

Qing Xia shook her head and said: "Let's not talk about whether His Majesty is willing to retreat in such a cowardly manner, and what effect it will have on our army's morale. If we do this, will we let the Huns drive straight in and come to our country? Next, if this is the case, what is the difference between resisting the enemy in Huanchao City and killing the enemy in Xihei?"

"Then what should we do?" The bearded general shouted: "This is not acceptable, and that is not acceptable. If His Majesty really collides with the Huns, what should we do?"

"Everyone, don't worry, since the governor is here, he must have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy." Lu Zhongyong said in a deep and loud voice, and turned his head to look at Qing Xia, his face was calm and unrevealed.

Qing Xia smiled slightly, nodded and said: "I do have a plan to defeat the enemy, but I don't know if I have any brave fighters in Da Chu."

As soon as the words fell, the bearded general stood up and shouted: "I am afraid of the sky and the earth, but I am not afraid of death. If the governor has any tricks in his pocket, just say it."

Qing Xia smiled and said: "General, don't talk too much, Le Song, bring the map."

A huge map was immediately brought up and placed in the tent of the Chinese army, Qing Xia stood up and walked forward.Many generals gathered around, waiting for Qing Xia to speak.

This is a map of the desert and grasslands outside the pass. It is drawn in great detail. Even in the current military, there is no such map.Lu Zhongyong looked at the Hechuan tribe marked on it, and couldn't help being amazed, and said: "I don't know who drew this map. If it is true, this is really a treasure that is hard to find."

Qing Xia smiled and said: "I have lived in the desert for several years, I drew this from memory, there is no mistake." Pointing to the lines on the map, she said slowly: "The Huns are brutal and powerful in fighting , tough and difficult to train, all of them are leading soldiers. But behind their grassland, there are no city fortresses, no city walls to guard, and a large army goes out. The desert grassland is full of old and weak women and children, and they have almost no fighting power. It’s a strategy of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot, but I don’t know who has the guts.”

"Great Governor!" The bearded general shouted, "The last general, Huang Biao, is willing to go."

The Confucian General Qingjia also said: "The last general, Du Guokai, is willing to go."

Afterwards, more than a dozen generals expressed their opinions. Qing Xia nodded and smiled and said, "Since so many generals are interested, I will explain one or two, and everyone will consider it together. Is this task difficult or easy? The main thing is to see The most important thing is everyone's courage, perseverance, and cruelty."

"I want a light soldier, only 3000 men and horses, all composed of cavalry. I want you to secretly sneak into the desert and grassland alone. I will not give you any supplies, food, horses, bows and arrows, let alone any Reinforcements, you will be alone and helpless in the desert. To survive, you have to learn the survival methods of the Huns, burn, kill and loot, and use war to support war. My request is that you forget that you are a soldier and completely put Treat yourself as a bandit, don’t kill, focus entirely on destruction, burn their tribes, rob their food, eat their cattle and sheep, destroy their grasslands, and sweep across the Northland like wolves and locusts.”

"But don't kill people, just lead those old and weak women and children to the border of Xichuan, beg Yan Hui to donate food and grass, and help the people of the Huns in the North. I am here, and I spread the news that the grasslands of the Huns have been plundered. I want to let the North Some people starve to death, the plague is rampant, there is nothing that can be done to let Yan return to self-destruct, and to make the Huns uninterested in fighting, and have a rift with Xichuan, and leave halfway before reaching Xihei."

"Only in this way can we solve our predicament. I wonder if there is any general who dares to go?"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, and they all opened their eyes wide in disbelief at the handsome, young-looking Dadu.Such a way to hurt the peace can be thought of, no wonder he jumped to the position of governor of the southeast province.The generals who had made faces at her before couldn't help but feel chills down their backs, and unconsciously wanted to touch their necks. Such a desperate plan was conceivable, and everyone had to sigh, this person is indeed a scum in gentleness, Bandits in the barracks, hooligans in civil servants.

Huang Biao laughed out loud suddenly, and said, "Great Governor, let me go, I promise to snatch all those savages away."

Qing Xia smiled and said: "I heard that General Huang was a green forest hero who occupied the mountains and became king before he turned to His Majesty. I think he will not let me down if he goes back to his old job this time."

"My lord, I am also willing to go together." Du Guokai also said.

Qing Xia nodded and said: "Master Du was born in the Imperial Academy, and he is a calm person. With the two of you going, the danger of Xihei will be solved. I have already arranged the ship, and I will quietly send you north by water tomorrow. Today It’s too late, everyone should keep a good watch on their mouths, once the news leaks out, not only will your lords’ lives be lost, but the century-old foundation of Southern Chu will also be destroyed, everyone should keep it in mind.”

"Yes!" Everyone shouted loudly as soon as they came down: "I will follow the command of the governor!"

In the voice, there was no longer the previous foolishness, but full of respect and conviction.

Early the next morning, under the auspices of Commander Xia Qing, twenty huge ships were secretly opened to the north. On the surface, the Haiyan team was full of the most elite light cavalry soldiers in Southern Chu.

An earth-shattering conspiracy is secretly brewing, wind and rain from all directions are gradually gathering towards the land outside the pass.Many historians in later generations like to regard this battle as the beginning of the Southern Chu Emperor's first Northern Expedition. Although it is quite controversial, no one can deny that it was from this day that Southern Chu began to actively fight against the Huns. In preparation for the battle, they stretched their hands far, leaped over Northern Qin and Xichuan, and plunged directly into the grasslands of the Northlands. galloped up.

In the green bamboo grove, the young man in the moon-white robe had a calm expression. He crossed out the Xiongnu in the north on a huge map, then raised his hand, and drew a circle with a vermilion brush on the country of Japan in the East China Sea. .

In July, sweet osmanthus is fragrant, and at the turn of spring and summer, the coast is warm, the spring is shining, the birds are contending, and tourists are constantly shuttling.
