Straight man of steel

Chapter 446

Zhang Yuan was still the same as before, scattering the scouts first before taking action.

It may be that the Huns are already preparing to retreat, and the guard around Fuyangju Mountain has been relaxed.

In the early morning of the next day, the Han army had already set off, and quietly moved towards Fuyangju Mountain.

The sun still rises in the east as usual.

When the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, Zhang Yuan personally led a small team, accompanied by Li Jian and Zhang Cigong, to Fuyangju Mountain.

None of the soldiers understood Zhang Yuan's intentions at this time.

It's not that they don't trust Zhang Yuan, it's that they don't trust the Huns.

Zhang Yuan had to show some attitude, so that everyone under his command believed in him, and believed that the big man would win this battle.

The hooves of Zhang Yuan and his team were all wrapped in cotton, so they made very little movement when they ran, and they had been marching in the mountains and forests.

It didn't take long before we arrived at Fuyangju Mountain.

The Huns could already be seen through the woods.

They are all packing their bags.

But this is not what Zhang Yuan wants to see. What he wants to see is that King Hunxie led an army to block the east side of Fuyangju Mountain to prevent King Xiutu from passing.

"General Wei, King Hunxie has changed his mind temporarily, right?"

Zhang Cigong was not very optimistic about this matter from the beginning.

"The sun is just rising, and the Huns must pack their bags.

Let's wait. After half an hour, if the Huns still don't move, we will withdraw. "

"Yes."

It's the best policy to stay alive these days.

Zhang Cigong has earned enough military merits in the past few days, even if he can win King Xiutu, it will not benefit him very much.

But the more he was like this, the more Zhang Yuan felt that Li Shuo's capture had something to do with him.

If King Hunxie hadn't asked for peace on his own initiative, Zhang Yuan probably really thought that Li Shuo had already died in battle.

Zhang Yuan couldn't figure out whether Zhang Cigong was doing it for military merit or what, but if only Li Shuo died in this battle, the entire government and the public would think that Zhang Yuan deliberately killed Li Shuo in order to avenge the Li family in Longxi.

Even if the battle is won, Liu Che has no way to punish Zhang Yuan, and this matter will be stuck in Liu Che's chest like a nail.

When Liu Che wanted to pull out the nail one day, Zhang Yuan would be finished.

As time passed by every minute and every second, the activities of the Xiongnu army also became more frequent.

Zhang Yuan, who hid in the dark and observed, felt an atmosphere solidify in the air.

"Li Jian."

"General Mo is here, please give me your orders, General Wei."

"Go and lead the army to move five miles away from here and wait, moving close to the forest, understand.

Be slow, and remember not to alarm the Huns! "

"Here."

At this moment, in the Xiongnu camp, King Xiutu and King Hunxie were confronting each other.

"King Hunxie, why did you block all the roads?"

King Xiutu was very puzzled. Although the two armies had never joined together during the march, this was the first time such a situation had happened.

"When I came here, I fought in the front line, but can't you be the back line when I go back?

After all my subordinates have passed, you, King Xiutu, will lead your troops to evacuate. "

"Why are you so timid? Are you worried that the Han army will attack again?"

"I don't know whether the Han army made a sneak attack or not, but my people have already started to withdraw. It's not too much to let me withdraw first."

"Hehe, I think you're just scared.

What time is it now, how could the Han army know that we are retreating.

Even if they had spies around, we would have left Fuyangju Mountain Narrows long ago.

When they catch up to Junji Mountain, I don't mind letting it become the burial place of the Han army. "

"Since King Xiutu has this confidence, don't delay the retreat of my subordinates."

King Xiutu looked to see that King Hunxie was serious.

So he nodded.

"I told you to retreat first, this battle has worn out your courage."

King Hunxie just chuckled but didn't talk to him. He swayed on his horse and walked into Fuyangju Mountain.

Zhang Yuan didn't believe him, and he didn't believe Zhang Yuan either.

Both parties had a time in mind, King Hunxie had already thought about it, if the people waiting for him had already evacuated from Fuyangju Mountain, then the letter sent to Zhang Yuan would become a non-existent thing.

He will also personally deal with those few of his cronies, leaving no one alive.

Whatever Zhang Yuan said in the future would be Zhang Yuan's one-sided words, and no Huns would believe what a Han said.

Moreover, this Han Chinese is still a high-ranking and powerful person in the Han Dynasty.

When Zhang Yuan saw that King Xiutu had ordered his subordinates to tear down the tent in order to retreat, he knew that this was a unique opportunity.

"It's time, Antouhou."

Zhang Cigong also understood, but he was still a little worried.

"General Wei, you should think about it again!

What if it is really a trap set by King Xiutu and King Hunxie? "

"Marquis An Tou, don't you want to rescue General Li Shuo?"

Zhang Yuan knew that Li Shuo was no longer here, but he still said this.

Zhang Cigong, the old fox, said with regret.

"The last general is still willing to take the vanguard and save General Li Shuo from the fire and water."

Zhang Yuan smiled, this old guy probably wanted to kill Li Shuo the first time he saw him.

"Kitouhou worked hard a few days ago, so just watch the battle with me this time."

After appeasing Zhang Cigong first, Zhang Yuan turned around and gestured at the officials of General Wei's mansion.

An action of wiping the neck.

The original meaning was to kill, and it is still the same now.

But it was the Huns who were to be killed, which also meant that the war could begin.

Immediately, the official of General Wei's Mansion left on horseback, and he was going to convey Zhang Yuan's order.

Zhang Cigong suddenly fell into uneasiness.

Originally Zhang Yuan's most trusted person in the army, Zhang Cigong was able to rank among the top three.

Coupled with ability, in Zhang Yuan's mind, Zhang Cigong is definitely the number one general in terms of overall ranking.

But now it is estimated that even the top five are gone. Once this trust is lost, it will be difficult to regain it.

The distance of five miles only takes a cup of tea to reach.

The vigilance of the Huns is also really bad.

Although the Han army moved quietly close to the mountains and forests, they would be able to find out as long as they sent out scouts to check around.

When the Han army appeared in front of the Huns, they were all stupid.

"These Han people are so bold!"

King Xiutu was almost furious.

"Where's the Hunxie king?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, King Hunxie has already entered the Fuyangju Mountain Narrows!"

"Go and find him quickly, and tell him that the Han army is here to attack.

The rest are mounted and ready to fight!Kill all these Han people, kill the warrior Zhang Yuan took his head, and make him a big household, with thousands of cattle and sheep! "

King Xiutu wanted to resist, but he didn't know that the two armies rushing forward were the Qimen Army and the Habayashi Army, which represented the highest combat power of the Han Dynasty.

The war at this stage basically relies on equipment crushing and number crushing.

Xue Ren and Li Jian, who acted as pioneers, showed no excitement on their faces, only worry.

No one knew whether King Hunxie would mobilize his troops to surround the Han army after they rushed into the Huns' army.

But the reality is that Zhang Yuan made the right bet!
The Huns of the Hunxie tribe were a little flustered at first when they saw the attack of the Han army, but then they received the order of King Hunxie and immediately formed a formation to block the exit on the narrow east side of Fuyangju Mountain.

The Huns in the front all raised their bows and arrows, but the arrows were not sent out on the strings, but this was a threat, telling the people from the Xiutu Department that the two sides would immediately fight if they crossed this line.

"Ah ah ah ah, King Hunxie, do you insist on harming me?"

Until this time, King Hunxie walked out from the crowd.

"King Xiutu, when you suddenly wanted to retreat the day before yesterday, did you ever think about my subordinates?

Don't blame me for your unkindness. If I don't immediately join forces with the Han army to strangle you, I am already thinking of our past friendship.

In addition, the military minister Da Shanyu has long suspected that you and I have two hearts, and I think this time is a trap designed by the military minister.

Deliberately reveal the news to Han Guo, and then lure you and me to go east.

Use the help of the Han army to wipe out our forces.

I have seen it clearly a long time ago, but you have been kept in the dark. "

Fortunately, Zhang Yuan didn't hear what King Hunxie said, otherwise he must have thought he was a good screenwriter.

If the news had not come from Chu Da, Zhang Yuan might have really believed it when he heard what King Hunxie said.

"When you and the Han people decided to harm the king, why didn't you tell the king these things.

I think you just want to turn away from the Xiongnu and seek refuge in Han! "

King Xiutu jumped his feet angrily, but he had nothing to do with King Hunxie.

"King Xiutu, don't speak so harshly, those who know current affairs are outstanding.

Besides, it's not that I didn't do anything to you, you still have a chance to flee to the east with the army. "

King Hunxie didn't care about King Xiutu's feelings at all. In addition, letting King Xiutu stand in front of him was an explanation for the past.

Otherwise, how could the Han army let go of King Xiutu.

Before leaving, Zhang Yuan explained that no matter what happens, he must not approach the exit on the east side of Fuyangju Mountain.

He didn't want to give King Hunxie any chance.

The Xiutu Department and the Hunxie Department have lived together for hundreds of years, and the King of Hunxie can turn his back on him anytime he wants.

What's more, it was attacking the Han army who still had a life-and-death enmity.

It was impossible for King Xiutu to ignore his own people. He saw that King Hunxie had made up his mind to betray him. He knew that the only thing he could do now was to flee east and join the military officials of the Huns.

"Boys, follow me to the east."

The number of the Han army was originally smaller than that of the Huns, and there must be no such thing as saying that they want to break out of the siege.

But when King Xiutu was negotiating with King Hunxie just now, Li Jian and Xue Ren led 2 Han cavalry to disperse the Huns' army formation.

The battlefield once fell into chaos, and the border areas were full of running cattle and sheep.

Once the number of these cattle and sheep increases, it is easy to startle the horses, which will cause chaos.

King Hunxie is a guy who sees the need for needles. He saw that the Xiutu Department was in chaos, so he immediately asked his subordinates to open a hole to let these scattered cattle and sheep rush into the Huyangju Mountain.

For the Huns, the value of cattle and sheep is equal to that of people.

In fact, this is also the case in the big man, and even some slaves are not as good as cattle and sheep.

"Xue Ren, have you seen that fat man wrapped in animal skin?"

Li Jian waved his whip and pointed to the east.

"I see, what's wrong?"

"You and I took the army over there, that person should be King Xiutu.

The Huns around him are the most concentrated, and he can't go wrong. "

"Okay, I finally got this one.

Soldiers, King Xiutu is right there, follow me and charge! "

Just like the scene when Yu Shan was trapped last time, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty fell into madness again because of King Xiutu.

This is an opportunity to become a Marquis. Even if a small soldier can take the head of King Xiutu, Liu Che will not be stingy with the title of Marquis.

"Kill!"

Twenty thousand Han cavalrymen chased twenty thousand Huns cavalrymen on the grassland.

King Xiutu almost hated King Hunxie to death.

What is this?

Zhang Yuan was still lying in ambush in the woods with Zhang Cigong at this time.

When he saw Li Jian and Xue Ren chasing King Xiutu away, he immediately sighed.

"General Wei, what's wrong?"

Zhang Cigong was very puzzled, now that King Xiutu is in danger, Zhang Yuan should be happy.

"Li Jian and the others are too greedy for merit, they should send some people to pursue and leave some people to quickly wipe out the remaining Hun cavalry.

You see, we have given a great gift to King Hunxie. "

Just like what Zhang Yuan said, the Hun cavalry of the Xiutu tribe on the battlefield on the east side of Fuyangju Mountain suddenly lost their enemies and their king, and then fell into a state of trance.

The west is blocked by King Hunxie, the river is flooding to the north, the surrendered city is to the south, and the Han army is chasing to the east.

At this moment, they suddenly have a time when there is no door to heaven or earth.

When King Hunxie saw this scene, he suddenly felt comfortable in his heart.

The meat delivered to his door was a big gift from the Han army for nothing.

"My sons of the Huns."

King Hunxie rode out of the army on his horse and walked forward.

None of the Xiongnu cavalry of the Xiutu tribe dared to do anything to King Hunxie. The strict hierarchy even if their king and King Hunxie completely broke up, King Hunxie could slaughter them at will without the order of King Xiutu , without disturbing the army.

Because King Hunxie did that, they felt it was right.

"Now your king has left you, and I, King Hunxie, will take you back to your mother's arms!
Those who are willing to follow my King Hunxie, the Han army will not attack you again today, but those who are unwilling to follow my King Hunxie, I am afraid that you will not be able to pass through this narrow mountain.

But you don't need to be afraid, I will not hurt you, your family will also belong to the Hunxie Department after I return to Hunxie Mountain.

In the future, the Hunxie and Xiutu tribes will be unified, we will no longer be divided into the Hunxie tribe and the Xiutu tribe, we will split from the military officials of the Great Shanyu in Langjuxu Mountain, and call ourselves the Southern Huns! "

Fortunately, Zhang Yuan couldn't hear the last sentence, otherwise King Hunxie's successive speeches today would have shocked Zhang Yuan.

"Boys, don't you look forward to the days when you can herd horses and sheep freely, and gallop freely on the grassland?
If you yearn for such a life, you will never regret following me. "
