"Wang Ben, you block the news of our victory immediately, and don't spread it to Xianyang, nor to other places. To the outside world, we can only say that our army has suffered an unprecedented defeat, almost annihilated."

Wang Ben frowned and asked, "The general wants to give Chu Yanqi a chance to be impulsive?"

Zhang He smiled and said, "Yes!"

"We don't have a good excuse for not jumping up."

Two people: "..."

Later, a personal guard came to report that the two Xihou had already selected their warriors and came to ask Zhang He for food and weapons.

Zhang He directly sent people to deliver weapons and food, and asked them to leave immediately, and enter the depths of the desert as quickly as possible to steal the wolf Juxu of Maodun.

"Master Hou!"

"Master Hou..."

The two heads of the farm came.

But it was obvious that the two had sad expressions on their faces. There were more than 1 farm disciples, and now there are only more than 3000 left.

"You two, please sit down."

"You two are sad, I know this, but this is war. I, the elite of the Qin Dynasty, killed more than 9 people in this battle. In fact, I am more sad than you. The disciples of the peasant family are all good. They are not afraid of strong enemies. Dare to charge..."

"Don't worry, you two, their funeral will be handled by the court. The pension is the same as that of the soldiers of Daqin, and there will be no less money."

"As for these living warriors, the credit they deserve, when they return to the court, the king will reward them according to their credit."

"You guys also contributed a lot. This general has already written the memorial and sent it to Xianyang urgently within [-] miles. The two of you will just wait for King Qin's canonization!"

"In the future, there will definitely be a place for you in the dynasty of Great Qin."

The Great Elder smiled and said: "I'm old, my brothers have already left, I just want to go back, spend my old age in Liuxian Tomb, and accompany my brothers."

When night came, after Zhang He ate something casually, he immediately began to write secret reports and battle reports.

It was written in the battle report that Great Qin was defeated in Yongdeng City, and the army had withdrawn to Gaolan City. It was hoped that the court would recruit troops again to support Gaolan City.

The secret report says that in the Langhe Valley area of ​​Nanzhuang, Yongdeng City, Daqin set up a network of heaven and earth, and two generals Wang Ben and Meng Tian personally led an army of 13. They were not afraid of facing the 40 troops of the Yuezhi. For a day and a night.

In the end, Li Xin bypassed the enemy's rear, captured Queen Yuezhi alive, and attacked on both sides. In the first battle, he wiped out the main force of the Yuezhi Kingdom, captured [-] slaves, and [-] elite Yuezhi cavalry.

Great Qin has won a complete victory in this battle, and will then march into the entire Hexi and take down the entire Yuezhi Kingdom in one fell swoop.

The territory of Daqin will extend to the west for more than two thousand miles.

But Zhang He hopes that this news can only be known to the King of Qin, not even the Sangong Jiuqing, and use this news to fish Chu, Qi, Yan and the Three Kingdoms.

In the early morning of the next day, eight hundred miles were rushed to Xianyang.

At this time, Meng Tian had already captured all the escaped slaves, except those who fled into the forest, a total of more than 11 slaves, including those left on the battlefield, a total of [-] slaves.

Zhang He dispatched Meng Tian again, led cavalry, marched all the way into the Hexi Corridor, captured all the tribal cities along the way, directly attacked the capital of the Yuezhi Kingdom, and captured members of the Yuezhi royal family.

Chapter 339 The Sad Moton Chanyu

The desert in the north is affected by the cold current from the northwest this year, so it is particularly dry and cold.

At the end of October in previous years, there would probably be two or three heavy snowfalls, but this year there was none.

This should be a good thing for their grassland herdsmen. As long as there is no heavy snowfall, the grassland will not be covered by heavy snow, and the cattle and sheep will have grass to eat, and they will be able to survive this winter safely.

But for the coming year, that may not be a good thing. No snow means that in the early spring of the next year, the cattle and sheep will not have fresh and plump grass to eat, and the cattle and sheep will not grow fat.

But just when Maodun led the army to go south and arrived at Gaoque Village, a heavy snowfall that had not been seen for many years came.

The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and the [-] army had difficulty walking. They had been trapped outside Gaoque Village for about five or six days.

They were already short of supplies, but now even the food and grass for their war horses became a problem.

What worries Mao Dun even more is that the people deep in the grassland may not survive this winter.

Therefore, they had to grab some food and go back.

But at this moment, Mao Dun felt as if he was going to die before he could finish his mission, and the corners of his mouth were bubbling in anxiety.

After many discussions with his subordinates and generals, Maodun finally decided to take the Gaoque village which was closest to them first.

Based on his previous experience, he guessed that the people of Qin must have stockpiled food and grass in Gaoque Village of Langshan Mountain, and the people of Qin had stored a large amount of food and grass in Wuyuan City to support the Qin army going south for combat use.

So, he led [-] cavalry, braved the severe cold, and rushed to Gaoque Village on Langshan Mountain in one breath.

But when they arrived at Gaoque Village in Langshan, they were greeted with cold crossbows and continuous crossbows. The 2 cavalry did not break through the defensive net guarded by [-] people in Gaoque Village.

This can make Mao Dun Shan very angry.

When did Qin people become so difficult?

When his father was alive, if he said he entered Wuyuan City, he would enter Wuyuan City and be as free as his own back garden.

Now he can't even get through Gaoque Village, is it because the people of Qin have become stronger, or is he himself not as powerful as his father?

"Great wizard, who is the opponent's defender, do you know him?"

The exorcist put his palms above his eyes, looked at it for a long time, and muttered in his heart, it wasn't Zhang He anyway.

As for who?

This wizard has been in your Xiongnu grassland for more than two years, how do you know who the opponent's general is?

I am not native to Qin.

"I don't recognize it, it is probably an unknown young general."

Mao Dun's face turned cold, it turned out to be an unknown young general, how could it be reasonable to keep his [-] warriors galloping on the grassland outside to eat the cold wind?

"Great wizard, are you sure you will take his soul and sacrifice it to our grassland god?"

Exorcist: "..."

After being speechless for a while, the exorcist swallowed his saliva and said with a bitter face: "Da Shanyu, the lifespan of this subordinate is not long enough to take that man's life, so he must concentrate on practicing for three years, maybe after three years, he will be able to take his life." took the man's life."

Mao Dun snorted coldly, and said with a sneer, "Great Wizard, are you a spy sent by the Qin people to lurk beside my father?"

The exorcist was taken aback, and quickly knelt down at Maodun's feet, his whole body was completely cold.

"Da Shanyu, this subordinate is wronged. This subordinate is loyal to you. The world can learn from it. The grassland gods know it. It has been two years since this subordinate came to the grassland. When did this subordinate disobey your orders? I really don't have much life left..."

呲!

Mao Dun drew his knife and placed it directly on the neck of the exorcist.

The exorcist was startled, secretly thinking that the ball was over for today.

"The Great Chanyu, spare your life..."

"Hahaha, today's Japanese Shanyu will verify how much life the Great Wizard has left!"

Mouton laughed wildly, and the long blade was already embedded in the fat of the exorcist's neck.

"Da Shanyu, my subordinates are really sincere to you. Even if you kill your subordinates, it won't help much. Your subordinates still want to follow you..."

The exorcist's snot and tears came one after another, and they all cried into tears. He said that it was an acting skill, and it was really brought to the fullest.

But maybe this time it was sincere, not as simple as acting, because his life was in the hands of Mao Dun.

Mao Dun snorted coldly in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that you still have some skills of pretending to be a ghost, and can fool other tribes into using it for Ben Shanyu, otherwise you would have been killed with a single knife.

King Zuo Xian stepped forward and said, "Da Chanyu, what should we do now? Without food, we will starve to death here."

"Bring a map..."

Putting the sheepskin map in front of Mao Dun, Mao Dun looked at it for a long time and asked, "How many days will it take to detour to the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain from here?"

"Less than two days."

Mao Dun punched hard at the north of Jiuyuan City, and said: "Then detour to the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain and attack Jiuyuan City directly."

Zuo Xianwang hurriedly said: "Da Shanyu, is this inappropriate? The north of Jiuyuan City is the only way to enter the desert. The Qin people have already built a city there, and there must be a large army guarding it."

"If we go further west, bypass the northern foot of the Yin Mountain, and enter the Yanmen County of the Qin people, it will take about ten days, and we won't be able to go anywhere!"

"If you encounter the same situation over there, it will be difficult to withdraw."

Then, Zuo Xianwang analyzed: "Although the Qin people sent 20 troops to attack the Yue clan this time, Qin has already defeated the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei in the Central Plains. As far as the number of soldiers is concerned, it is still sufficient."

"Otherwise, according to the temperament of the Qin people, it is impossible for them to take the initiative to attack the Yuezhi. After all, the Yuezhi country is still very powerful, and Da Chanyu should be familiar with this."

"The Qin people should be confident enough to win the Yuezhi Kingdom in one fell swoop, or they can defeat the disabled Yuezhi elite in a single battle, so they took the initiative to send troops."

The exorcist listened for a long time, then turned his head, and quickly suggested: "Da Shanyu, why don't we attack the Yue clan in the south, grab the food and grass of the Yue clan, and then attack Daqin..."

Mouton: "..."

Yueshi is his father-in-law, so you let yourself snatch your father-in-law?

However, the son-in-law has no food and grass, so if he borrows from the father-in-law, the father-in-law will probably not say anything!

"Okay, what the great wizard said is right, we should borrow some food and grass from Yueshi."

King Zuo Xian also nodded. He heard that the Yue clan was very rich at the foot of Helan Mountain, with cattle and sheep everywhere, and sufficient food and grass.

At that time, if the Yueshi asked questions, they would say that they borrowed it. After all, the Yueshi begged them to send troops, and by the way, defending the Qin people's attack for the Yueshi, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Da Shanyu, my subordinates agree with this plan. It's the best way to do it. Let's detour to Yinshan Mountain, go south and enter Xitao directly. Crossing the Yellow River can threaten the hinterland of Daqin. This is much better than attacking the north."

The newly promoted Youxian King said with a smile.

The other generals echoed the voice and agreed to enter Yuezhi's territory first to grab a hand to overcome the current difficulty.

The Yuezhi people said that they would give them food and grass, but they all sent troops, but the food and grass did not arrive. Since the Yuezhi people do not keep promises, what morality do they have?

Mao Dun glanced at the great wizard, and said with a smile: "Okay, then, according to what the great wizard said, we will attack the territory of the Qin people through the Yueshi territory."

"Maybe, the Qin people deployed their army in the three northern counties, but there is nothing in the area of ​​Beidi County in the west of Hexi. Let's take advantage of the Yuezhi Xitao area to grab a piece of the Qin people's Beidi County. .”

"Hahaha, when the time comes, King Qin Yingzheng will be scared to death."

"Hahaha, maybe we can attack all the way to Xianyang."

The general chattered and laughed, and the morale that had been depressed before had returned to its peak, and a smile appeared on Mao Dun's face.

Chapter 340 The Furious Wang Jian

But at this moment, Mao Dun didn't know that Mi Le Xihou had returned to the west, the 40 army of the Yuezhi was defeated by the Qin Dynasty, and the Yuezhi was on the verge of subjugation.

In the entire Xitao area, although the Qin people did not have a garrison, there is no food and grass in the Xitao area. Even the cattle and sheep were driven across the Yellow River by Qin merchants and headed towards Xianyang.

As for the slaves, there were none.

Even those herdsmen and Yuezhi civilians were bought as slaves by those black-hearted businessmen.

In order to go north as soon as possible, Li Bin cooperated with Wang Jian to defend the three northern counties, but he did it hastily. Anyway, he sold all the things that could be sold.

Those that couldn’t be sold were given to the merchants of Daqin. Anyway, Daqin was temporarily short of people and couldn’t manage this place. Leaving these things made others cheaper, so it’s better to make the merchants of Daqin cheaper.

Under the leadership of Zhang He, the merchants of Daqin still have a sense of justice.

Every time Qin is in trouble, they donate money and materials when they should donate.

Li Bin stood on the tower of Gaoque Walled City, braved the wind and snow, and had guarded for ten days. The crossbow arrows in the city were no longer enough, and he was very anxious. Could it be that he was going to be like Qin Zhong, who had to sacrifice himself for Daqin at a young age? ?

He was the first group of generals to follow Zhang He. Many of his comrades died in battle. Now, he and the others are the only ones who are alive.

And he didn't have much talent, but he was still reused by Zhang He, and he was placed in the three northern counties to take charge of all military affairs in the three northern counties.

"How long will it take for the crossbow to be delivered here?"

The guard next to him said: "General, there are still two days left. The news just came that General Wang Jian has ordered people to come to support quickly, and at the same time delivered a large number of crossbow bolts."

Li Bin prayed in his heart, Maodun, Maodun, don't you fucking use your righteousness, give me the whole army to attack!

"Report..."

A team of scouts came from outside the city, and the city gate opened immediately. The scouts came to Li Bin and said, "General, the Huns have withdrawn their troops."

"what?"

"The Huns withdrew their troops, did they head towards the northern foot of the Yin Mountain?"

"Hahaha, Old General Wang Jian has set up a net over there, with an army of 15, see if he can be killed alive!"

Wang Jian was appointed as the general to defend the Huns this time, leading an army of 15 to the north, plus the original [-] army in the north, a total of [-].
