The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 922 Before the decisive battle

Flying snow welcomes the spring, and amidst the heavy snow, the time has come to the second year of Guangwu.

The temperature became colder and colder. Even if the war was not officially launched, soldiers in the Western Barbarian Army were still damaged, and many people died of frostbite.

But no matter how the Jin army harassed them, these people were like hedgehogs, reporting directly to the regiment for defense and ignoring the Jin army's attack at all.

Should he go all out and fight Xi Man, or continue to drag them down to death... This is a test of Zhao Yanxun's courage.

In the end, Zhao Yanxun decided to focus on stability and only harass Ximan for the time being, and wait until a new batch of grenades arrive.

Although the imperial army is powerful, after all, Ximan has gathered 30 million soldiers and horses. If there is a strong attack, the Jin army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

However, the soldiers and horses of Ximan on the front line are still increasing as time goes by.

Every batch of troops to the front line will bring a large amount of food and supplies, enough to support the continued consumption of the western barbarian tribes.

When the time came to the end of January, the western barbarian tribes no longer saw any increase in troops, and the two great kings got together again.

Except for King Muliqing and King Jinanta, no one else could fully grasp what was going on in the army.

Just because one more person knows, there is one more possibility of leaking the secret, and the chances of winning for the Western Man tribes will be even smaller.

The reason is that because there is not much food, the Western Man tribes are in an extremely dangerous situation.

Outside the tent of King Muliqing, the guards stood ten meters away, so that the conversation in the tent would not be leaked.

In the military tent, Jinanta King said with a gloomy expression: "The food stored in various places in the army is only enough for half a month for the frontline departments, and there is no more food from the rear!"

In fact, there is still food in the rear, and there is still a lot of food, but it is a pity that these food cannot be transferred.

After all, the millions of mouths in the back also need to eat to survive, and grabbing their food will only cause civil strife.

"When do you plan to launch a general attack?" King Jinanta asked again.

Tapping his fingers on the table, King Muli Qing calmly said: "The day after tomorrow..."

King Jinanta originally came to ask for a letter, but he didn't expect to be so anxious. The general attack the day after tomorrow must be prepared as soon as possible.

"When will the order be delivered?"

"Tomorrow wear order!"

The two of them have analyzed countless times about how to attack, how to allocate troops, and how to cooperate with each other.

Once the war starts, just follow the plan.

After a few breaths of silence, King Jinanta asked, "Is there any news from the Huns?"

Although they are in a state of hostility with the Huns, the Ximan has not cut off contact with them, and both sides are happy to see their success.

For the Huns, they don't want to be pinched by others, so naturally they don't just listen to the Jin court's command.

"If you want them to attack from Tianyuguan, you will be too difficult for them!"

"The Huns beg for mercy like dogs, how dare they show their teeth to their master?" King Muli Qing sneered.

"It's ridiculous to say that the people of Jin wanted them to exchange the heads of our soldiers for food, but the Huns went to King Yikuoxi and exchanged the food for the corpses of our soldiers!"

"A dead body is exchanged for fifty catties of grain. This is the price offered to Yu Shan by the people of Jin, but Yu Shan also offered the price to King Yikuoxi. One corpse is traded for twenty catties of grain..."

"Yu Shan didn't do anything, but earned thirty catties of grain for nothing. This guy is really good at making money!" The smile on King Muliqing's face became brighter and brighter.

Who knows that King Muliqing asked: "Has King Yikuoxi changed?"

Good guy, this sentence really caught King Muliqing's attention, because King Yikuoxi did change.

"It's exchanged for the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled!" King Muliqing said in a deep voice.

The old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled are useless, but consume food in vain. Exchanging them for food is a win-win situation.

"The Jin people are not stupid, can't they see it?" King Ji Nanta asked again.

"The Huns used the sole of their right foot to hand over the job, but the Jin people couldn't see it!"

Even if only one foot is cut off, it is impossible to save the person with Ximan's medical conditions.

"King Yikuoxi is at war with the Huns. The transaction has been going on for a month now, and the Jin people haven't found out the truth yet!"

Hearing this, King Jinanta said: "There are so many spies from the Jin people, I'm afraid this matter will not be kept secret for long, once they find out the truth... the life of the Huns will never be easy!"

"We are about to have a decisive battle, and the Huns certainly didn't want to keep it a secret for long!"

"If we win, they will attack the Jin people immediately, if we lose..."

King Muliqing didn't go on with the following words, but King Jinanta also understood what the result would be.

Next, the two sent orders to summon senior officials from various ministries to conduct the final deduction of the battle plan.

The war is about to start, and it is undoubtedly very necessary to convene senior officials to deduce and let everyone have a score in their hearts.

When the Huns were preparing for the final battle, the Huns were stopped outside the Tianyu Pass hundreds of miles away.

"We come to exchange food, why do you close the door and ignore it?"

"Open the door quickly, we need to exchange food..."

Outside the city gate, the Huns were like ants on a hot pot. If they couldn't get food, they would face serious crimes.

"You Jin people, are you going to break the appointment again?"

"The contract between the two countries has been changed again and again by you. Is this the faith of your Jin people?"

At the last moment, these Huns became more and more courageous, and their words became more and more "out of line".

Facing the noise below, the garrison soldiers did not respond, which made the Huns feel bored, so that their voices became smaller and smaller.

At this time, Meng Hai, who was in charge of the defense, appeared on the top of the city, and he said calmly: "Don't you know the business you Huns do?"

"Want food? Just fight the barbarians honestly, or you will starve to death!"

The Huns looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to answer for a while.

They naturally knew better about the tricks that the tribe did, but they didn't expect to be discovered by the Jin people.

"You don't have to come here again if you don't fight the Iquosi people... Hurry up and get out!" Meng Hai snapped.

As his words fell, dozens of soldiers appeared on the city wall, and the arrows with full bowstrings aimed at the Huns outside.

Seeing this situation, the Huns had no choice but to plead guilty, and then the group left in embarrassment.

After these people were gone, Meng Hai asked his subordinates to put away their weapons.

"These bastards actually came to lie to us about our food, they really ate the heart of a bear!"

"Thanks to the people from Jinyiwei who found out, otherwise they would really have taken advantage of it!"

Behind Meng Hai is Ma Shan, the commander of Tianjinwei, who was transferred to Tianyuguan half a month ago.

Ma Shan and Meng Hai are close friends, and they talk about everything when they are together.

"You said the Huns, how would you choose?" Meng Hai turned around and asked.

"How to choose? Do they still dare to beat us?"

Speaking of this, Ma Shan smiled brightly and said, "I hope they will call..."

"The other people transferred to Tianshan County, followed the emperor to beat Xi Manzi, I am very envious..."

"If the Huns fight over, we will be able to make meritorious deeds!"

Although Ma Shan hoped that the Huns would fight over, he also knew that this was not realistic, unless the Huns were all out of their wits.

Turning around, Meng Hai shook his head, he knew it was impossible for the Huns to come.
