Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 433 The Battle of the Barbarians ([-])

"Da Chanyu, Da Chanyu, please wait!" Panting heavily, Xu Luo shouted from afar, riding his horse desperately to catch up.

Mao Dun pulled the rein of the horse, stopped, let out a long breath, and asked, "Sura, what do you do?"

Xu Luo nodded, let out a few long breaths, and then said: "Da Shanyu, I think it's too risky for us to lead five thousand elite riders directly to the Donghu Royal Court. I think we should stop , Waiting for the brigade to arrive, it will not be too late to march towards the royal court. This is a surefire strategy, and please ask the Grand Chancellor.”

Mao Dun looked at Su Luo, and said with a smile: "You are so tired, it's hard for you. Are you thinking that if we reach the royal court, it is impossible to defeat the royal court with a tired army like us?"

Xu Luo admitted: "Da Shanyu is wise, this is what I think. Donghu has always been a big country, and the army of the royal court is more than [-]. We only have [-] people. After a long journey, we are exhausted. , but the Donghu army is full of energy. They just need to come and wait for work, and they will defeat us without any effort. I hope that the minister's little opinion can be clearly understood. "

Mao Dun praised him very much, and said: "Ben Shanyu is very happy that you can think about the problem in this way. If all the courtiers of the Great Huns were like you, why would the Great Huns not be strong? Your concerns are not unreasonable, but there is one person you Didn't take that into consideration."

"Who is this person, please let me know." Xu Luo became interested.

Mao Dun said bluntly: "This person is none other than King Donghu."

"It's him?" Su Luo never expected that Mao Dun would mention King Donghu at this time.

Mao Dun affirmed: "It's him. You are familiar with the books of the Southern Dynasties. There is a book called "Book of Changes" in the Southern Dynasties. Have you read it?"

At this time, when asked about such an innocuous matter, Xu Luo would have thought him crazy if someone else had asked him, but he did not dare to think so, and replied truthfully: "Return to the Great Chanyu, I have read it. That is Zhou Wen The summary of Wang's calculus, the mystery of the extreme world, is so broad and profound that I don't quite understand it."

Mao Dun nodded and said: "The "Book of Changes" is all-encompassing, the variables of the world, the mountains and the rivers, and the metaphysics are amazing. But these books are not interesting, nor did they work hard. Ben Shanyu only knows one thing, and that is this book The words in the book are very interesting and instructive. There is a saying "Birds of a feather flock together", which is very reasonable.

"Based on this sentence, the wise men of the Southern Dynasties said something more interesting. What they meant was that if you want to know how a person is, you don't have to look at him personally. You only need to observe the people he associates with. You get it. Gamblers hang out with gamblers, drunks hang out with drinkers, greedy hangers-on with their kind, because they have something in common."

Su Luoruo realized something and said: "Da Chanyu means that Donghu King like like attracts like?"

Mao Dun nodded approvingly, and said: "That's right, that's exactly what Ben Shanyu meant. Think about it, King Donghu is a lustful and greedy person, and a king is fine with drinking and drinking, as long as he can do well in important matters." It would not be a foolish king to argue clearly and rightly. However, King Donghu doesn't understand small things, and he is also confused about big things. In his eyes, only women, wine, money, and other things can't enter his eyes. The consequence of this is that he The people around him are just like him, greedy, lacking in talent and courage, even if they know that Ben Shanyu is only leading five thousand exhausted troops to the royal court, he can't do anything to Ben Shanyu."

This is the reason, but the reality is that the power is not directly proportional, the disparity is too great, Xu Luo is still worried, and said: "The words of the Great Chanyu are certainly reasonable, but the army in the Donghu Royal Court is no less than tens of thousands, and ours The men and horses are so exhausted, it's not even enough to squeeze their teeth into a real fight."

Mao Dun laughed, and said: "You are talking about the result of a fight, can it be fought?"

Xu Luo's eyes lit up, and he said: "The Great Chanyu has a clever plan? Can I hear about it?" This kind of confidential matter should not have been known, but he regretted it when he said it out of curiosity, and hurriedly said: "Da Shanyu Shan Yu, I deserve ten thousand deaths for my crimes, and ten thousand deaths for my crimes."

"You don't have to blame yourself!" Mao Dun smiled and said, "If you want to know, Ben Shanyu will tell you. Do you know why Ben Chanyu let Chilu go without spending money? Under the circumstances at that time, we had already surrounded him Surrounded, he can't fly out even if he puts on his wings."

Xu Luo nodded and said: "Yes. At that time, as long as we fought for a while, we could capture him alive. The reason why Da Shanyu let him go was because Da Shanyu admired his talent and didn't want him to die just like that."

"It's certainly one aspect that I cherish him, but the more important thing is not here." Mao Dun laughed and explained: "This Shanyu was the Shanyu of the Great Huns, how can we let him go just to cherish his talents? Wouldn’t it be very troublesome for Ben Shanyu if he returned to Donghu Royal Court to regroup the army and fight again?”

Xu Luoda nodded his head and said, "Yes, I think so too."

Mao Dun continued: "The reason why Ben Shanyu let him go is because Ben Shanyu wanted to attack Donghu King's heart and make him tremble with fear, so that he would not dare to fight rashly."

Xu Luo rolled his eyes a few times, slapped his forehead, suddenly realized, and praised: "Da Shan Yu Gaoming, Da Shan Yu Gao Ming! People like Donghu King know that even a fierce general like Chilu Buhua is no match for us. We have wiped out the entire army, then he will definitely be terrified and at a loss. However, if Chilu does not accept orders in the face of danger, and the whole army fights again, we will be in trouble."

Mao Dun said confidently: "I guess it is impossible for King Donghu to let Chilu stop fighting again. Even if it is true that he makes Chilu not take the whole army to fight again, we are not afraid. Shun, he will lose confidence immediately, and if we try to scare him with bluff, he will definitely run away."

These words clearly describe the mentality and actions of those cowardly emperors!
Xu Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and sincerely said: "The Great Chanyu is wise, and I am fortunate to follow the Great Chanyu, and I am fortunate!"

Mao Dun glanced at Xu Luo, and said: "The reason why Ben Shanyu chased after starry night was not entirely to win Wang Ting, but because Ben Shanyu was worried about Donghu Wang Nandun."

Xu Luo agreed with this very much, and said: "If King Donghu escapes to the territory of the Southern Dynasty, we will be in great trouble. The Southern Dynasty will definitely regard him as a rare commodity to live in and bargain with us."

Mao Dun disagreed with his words, and said: "That's a trivial matter. Ben Shanyu doesn't worry about it. As long as he can pay the price to settle the matter, Ben Shanyu is also willing. What Ben Chanyu is worried about is that the Southern Dynasty used Donghu King to make a fuss. At that time, no matter how much we pay, we will not be able to settle the matter, we have been busy, but we have accomplished the Southern Dynasty."

Xu Luo was very puzzled by this, and asked, "Excuse me, the Great Chanyu, how do you say this?"

Mao Dun glanced at Xu Luo, shook his head and said, "I hope Ben Shanyu's worries are unnecessary." He clapped his horse's back and galloped away.
