Chapter 167 Suspicious Clouds

Just when Touman Chanyu made great fanfare, summoned the tribal leaders, mobilized more than 20 troops, and stood ready to guard against the surprise attack of Zhao Ying's army.

In the Hexi Corridor, King Yuezhi was also paying close attention to the movements of Zhao Ying's army.

In recent years, with the rise of the Xiongnu, the relationship between the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu has become increasingly tense. There have been endless wars between the two. The Yuezhi even had to abandon the land with abundant water, grass, and numerous rivers at the foot of Wushaoling and Lenglong Ridge. land, the main force returned to the Hexi Corridor, and relied on the natural dangers of the Hexi Corridor to resist the continuous expansion of the Huns.

Now that the Qin Dynasty has sent troops to deal with the Xiongnu, the Yuezhi people are naturally happy and happy to hear about it.

They all expected Great Qin to teach the Xiongnu a harsh lesson like the last Battle of Hetao, preferably half to death. It’s not just because they wish the Xiongnu bad luck, but because, unlike the Yuezhi, who are also nomadic people, the Daqin people cannot stay on the grassland even if they defeat the Xiongnu. In this war, no matter who wins or loses, until the end In the end, it is their Yueshi who are cheaper.

But in this era, the exchange of information was not easy. By the time the Yuezhi got the news that the Qin army had swept across the four tribes of Tuopu, Qiemo, Dangtian and Tuge and had begun to move towards the Xiongnu King's City, the Qin army had already set out to conquer the Xiongnu King's City. Five days later.

But this did not prevent Yuezhi from watching the Xiongnu's jokes.

The enemy is unlucky, what a happy thing. Seeing the Qin army harming the Xiongnu, the Yue family even wished to support Zhao Ying's army as their ancestors.

"Beautiful! What a blessing from the immortal God. That thief Touman is greedy, shameless, insidious and cunning. I never thought that today would happen——"

King Yuezhi couldn't help laughing. Those Huns were so powerful that they were stunned. They had just been robbed of the Hetao by the Qin army a few years ago, and they went to tease the Qin Dynasty again. They went to the Qin Dynasty to hunt grass and valleys. They were purely thinking about eating and not fighting.

He picked up the wine bottle on the table, raised his glass to the leaders of the ministries below, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Today, I would like to congratulate Touman Shanyu - come and drink from this cup, and you will not return until you are drunk -"

In the Yuezhi King's tent, a roar of laughter suddenly erupted.

Many people have even begun to look forward to the situation of taking advantage of Da Qin after he leaves.

"Your Majesty, the people of Qin have a saying, "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Once Touman is defeated by the Qin people, according to the greedy temperament of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, he may not attack our Yuezhi..."

Just when everyone was laughing and the atmosphere was lively, an old man with gray hair and beard stood up, caressing his chest, and bowed deeply to the Yuezhi King.

King Yuezhi frowned slightly and put down the wine bottle in his hand.

"King Zuo Xian, there is no need to worry. Our Yuezhi is different from the Xiongnu. We have natural dangers to rely on and are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Qin people just fought with the Xiongnu and they went crazy to attack my Yuezhi——"

After finishing speaking, he laughed.

"Besides, the Qin people are going deep into the country alone. Logistics and supply alone are a big problem. That old guy Touman is also cunning and cunning, like the wolf king on the grassland. How can he be so easy to suffer losses?"

Having said this, he glanced at King Zuo Xian, who was always known for his caution, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his lips.

"Even if we take [-] steps back, Touman is really no match for the Qin people, so he can't escape? You know, this vast grassland is the world of our descendants of the immortal emperor - no matter how good the Qin people's weapons are, I'm afraid they can only fight with Eat ashes behind your butt..."

King Yuezhi's words caused a burst of cheerful laughter to resound in the big tent again, and someone was laughing and shouting from the side.

"King Zuo Xian, could it be that you have some collusion with that old Man? Otherwise, why would you keep helping him speak for him today -"

When King Zuo Xian heard this, his expression suddenly changed, his beard trembled, he threw down his wine glass angrily, pointed at the middle-aged man who was speaking and cursed loudly.

"Idiot! If you don't listen to my good advice today, I'm afraid you'll regret it right before your eyes!"

After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left without looking back.

Shuzi lacks and seeks!

After returning to his tent, the expression on his face gradually calmed down, he frowned, paced back and forth for a long time, and suddenly made up his mind.

"I have ordered that the defenses in the Heli Mountain, Gaolan Mountain and Longshou Mountain areas should be strengthened to prevent the Qin people from raiding..."

The order was passed on.

King Zuo Xian, who was sitting in his home, was still slightly uneasy.

But that's all he can do. The Yuezhi King has clearly doubted him just now. If he dares to take any other unnecessary actions, I am afraid that what is waiting for him is the Yuezhi King's personal accountability.

"I hope I'm overthinking it and it shouldn't be the case -"

Although spies sent by Great Qin have been discovered from time to time in the past few months, what the Yuezhi King said just now is unreasonable. How could Great Qin launch another war against the Yuezhi at this time? It is really not afraid of fighting on two fronts. ?

……

Just when Touman Chanyu was suspicious and nervous, King Yuezhi and others were waiting to see the Huns' jokes, and King Zuoxian of Yuezhi was worried alone, Xianyang City ushered in an unprecedented carnival.

North gate of Xianyang City.

Several captains, who were obviously tired from the journey but couldn't hide the excitement on their faces, rushed towards the city gate.

"Great victory, great victory in Mobei - the champion general defeated the Three Kingdoms in one night, destroyed the three tribes of Junpu, Qiemo and Dangtian, and captured the enemy chief alive -"

The rapid sound of horse hooves, followed by the hoarse announcement of victory by the captain, instantly ignited the entire Xianyang!

Overwhelm the Three Kingdoms in one night and capture the enemy chief alive!

This result is simply earth-shattering and unheard of!

Countless people who had received Zhao Ying's favor rushed to tell each other and were overjoyed, and the First Emperor couldn't help but be overjoyed when he got the news.

"My royal grandson, bravely champions the three armies!"

The old general Wang Jian couldn't help but smile while holding his beard.

"How magnificent - it's so clear!"

Immediately, he ordered the kitchen to prepare wine. Before he even started drinking, he heard a burst of laughter coming from outside.

"Old man Wang, hurry up and get some wine, I will keep you drunk today!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Meng Wu, whose beard and hair were all white, swaggering in from the outside with steps that he didn't recognize.

"Hahaha - my grandson sent troops to the Xiongnu and defeated the three kingdoms in one night. How heroic! Old man, you can do it..."

Wang Jian: ...

"My grandson is here too!"

Meng Wu didn't need to greet Wang Jian, he just pulled a stool and sat down opposite Wang Jian with a golden sword.

"Ha, all five of my grandchildren are here!"

Wang Jian: ...

He suddenly felt that his son also deserved a beating. Give him a few more grandchildren, and give this old man Meng Wu a chance to show off in front of him!

When the news reached the eldest son's house, Mi Ji, who had been thinking about her son, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"My husband, Megatron Grassland, defeated the Three Kingdoms overnight!"

As a wife, Wang Nan is so proud!

Before she and Mi Ji could do more inquiring, the First Emperor's decree of encouragement and reward arrived at the house.

The courtyard was filled with gifts.

The eldest son's house was in a state of carnival.

Only Miss Li Shu, who was forced to stay by Zhao Ying to guard the mansion, had a dark face and a cold air that kept strangers away from her body.

"Damn, hate, hate—"

It's a pity that everyone was having a party and no one paid attention to the face of this usually cold girl.

After receiving the news, Taiwei Liao sighed silently as he looked at his granddaughter who was still busy studying geographical information from various places back home.

"What a pity, what a pity -"

……

But today is destined to be a carnival day. Not long after the first wave of captains reported victory, the second wave of captains reporting victory came galloping in again.

"A great victory, the champion general Ying, annihilated Tuge and captured the enemy chieftain alive! In one day, he defeated four kingdoms in a row——"

Xianyang is boiling again!

Since the First Emperor came to power, the Qin Dynasty has never lacked success. Whether it is the victory over the Six Kingdoms or the capture of the Hetao by General Meng Tian a few years ago, he is proud of it.

But have you ever heard of someone being able to march thousands of miles in one day, conquer four countries, and capture enemy chieftains alive? Such appalling results!

How majestic, the emperor’s eldest grandson!

This battle was like a shot in the arm, making the whole Qin Dynasty excited. As the news spread, not only the people of Guanzhong, but also the people of Yanzhao became excited.

Many people have speculated whether His Highness the Emperor's Grandson can completely clean up the grassland and solve the hidden dangers on the border this time.

After sending away all the guests who came to congratulate him, Wang Nan returned to his small courtyard, but the smile on his face gradually faded, revealing a hint of unnoticeable worry.

"I would like to ask Mr. Xu, my husband and brother, are there any risks in this trip..."

The small courtyard where Xu Fu lives.

Wang Nan sat upright and saluted respectfully.

Xu Fu put down the tea cup in his hand, carefully examined the hostess in front of him with playful eyes, and bowed respectfully in return.

"The purple aura lingers between Madam's eyebrows, and the aura of great nobility is about to overflow. The little girl dare not accept Madam's gift..."

When asked again, Xu Fu had already kept silent.

Wang Nan was confused.

But seeing that Xu Nian'an acted as usual and had no intention of leaving at all, he had already vaguely guessed that the trip of his husband and brother should go smoothly, and he immediately put aside most of his worries.

The influence of Zhao Ying's victory over the Four Kingdoms in one day is still spreading at an alarming rate.

And the Hexi Corridor.

Yuezhi, who has been paying close attention to the movements of Zhao Ying's army, finally got the news that Zhao Ying's army suddenly and mysteriously disappeared!

At this time, it was already the eighth day since Zhao Ying's army disappeared from everyone's sight!

King Zuo Xian Yudun, who was resting at home, suddenly jumped up with excitement after hearing the news.

"not good!"

Pull up the war horse and go straight to the Yuezhi King's tent.

The Qin army that attacked the Xiongnu royal city disappeared. If they didn’t fight the Xiongnu, who else would they fight?

Obviously, this is coming for the Yueshi!

Although he couldn't understand how the general of Da Qin's army dared, but that was no longer important. What was important was how to deal with it!

Eight days...

King Zuo Xian's heart beat wildly.

I just hope it’s not too late!

……

What King Zuo Xian didn't know was that just two days before he got the news, Wang Ben, who was in Shangjun, got the news, and then coincided with him and got the same judgment.

The cold sweat came down instantly.

If Huang Changsun is really as he has judged this time, then he will be in a safe position. Once he enters the Hexi Corridor, it will basically be a situation of no retreat!

When he thought of this possibility, he felt a little dizzy.

He didn't know anything else, he only knew that if something happened to the emperor's eldest grandson Zhao Ying this time, the sky of Great Qin would collapse.

No one could face the wrath of the First Emperor.

"Send troops, send troops, send troops!"

Although Shangjun is located in the north, there are Yunzhong County and Jiuyuan County, and there are Beidi and Longxi counties to the west, but it still cannot change the fact that it is a border county. When setting up counties and counties, the reason why the First Emperor paid so much attention to Shangjun was precisely because Shangjun was the key point among the border counties bordering the Zhuhu.

Unlike ordinary counties, in the face of wars between Zhuhu and Hu, the commander-in-chief of the border counties had the right to make decisions on the fly. After all, if there is a border trouble, the day lilies will be cold if we wait for the court's order to fight.

Therefore, once he was sure of the thoughts of Zhao Ying and others, Wang Ben could not sit still, and immediately invited the supervisor Fusu and the county governor Yan, and the three people quickly reached a consensus.

That is to do everything possible to cover for Zhao Ying and others.

They definitely wouldn't be able to make the trip around Longxi to attack the Yuezhi people, but they could try to contain the attention of the Yuezhi people.

Send troops to the Huns immediately!

At the same time, Ba Baili rushed to convey his guess to the court. Although it was just a guess, he didn't dare to delay.

With the push of him and Fusu, Jiuyuan and Yunzhong soon also took an attack stance.

Touman's scalp exploded when he got the news.

What's going on? Could it be that Da Qin got mad this time?

It's just some small tribes. After a few times of hunting in Grass Valley, they want to fight me to the death?

At this time, he wished he could kill the Junpu tribe who organized the tribe to go to Daqin to clear grass valley.

But Yu Pu was gone, and he had to be prepared to face the wrath from Da Qin.

Gan!

Touman Shanyu was shattered inside.

But what else can be done? As a Xiongnu Chanyu, we cannot imitate those small tribes and flee without fighting.

Edicts were issued one after another from the Hun King's tent, and more and more tribal warriors were summoned by him to the vicinity of the royal city.

Looking forward to it!

……

"Great Qin's tens of thousands of troops cannot disappear on the spot. Your Majesty, if the Qin army does not attack King Touman's city, who will he attack now..."

In the tent of King Yuezhi, King Zuo Xian looked serious.

"Please give an order immediately, Your Majesty, to mobilize the warriors of the clan to support the defenses in Heli Mountain, Gaolan Mountain and Longshou Mountain, especially around the Ruoshui River..."

Upon hearing this, King Yuezhi's expression changed several times, and the tribal leaders in the big tent who had ridiculed Zuoxian King Yudun in the past few days also stopped talking.

No one is stupid.

On the grassland, there are only two people that Great Qin considers to be serious troubles. One is the Xiongnu, and the other is the Yueshi!

King Zuo Xian’s guess is very likely to be true.

At the stall where the atmosphere inside the tent was stagnant, rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent.

"Report - Your Majesty, General Wang Bi of the Qin Dynasty, led an army of [-] people, detoured around Yunzhong, and went straight to the grassland. It is suspected that he was preparing to attack the Xiongnu King's City and fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu. Large armies also appeared in Jiuyuan County and Yunzhong County. Signs of transfer..."

After hearing the news, King Yuezhi couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good, I was almost scared by this idiot Yu Dun just now!

Great Qin was clearly preparing for a decisive battle with Touman. How could the general of Great Qin, who had swept through the four tribes of Tuonpu, Qiemo, Dangtian and Tuge, come specifically to cause trouble for him?

After hearing the news, Zuo Xian Wang Yudun was also a little confused.

He subconsciously felt that something was wrong. He frowned and thought for a long time before speaking in a solemn voice.

"Your Majesty, the Qin people have always been cunning. Do you think this is a trick by the Qin people to conceal the whereabouts of the tens of thousands of troops?"

When King Zuo Xian Yudun said this, King Yuezhi couldn't help but hesitate.

However, before the Yuezhi King could speak, Chunyu, the Youxian King on the side, had already spoken first.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, the two armies have been fighting each other. Have you ever seen a land of three counties where hundreds of thousands of troops provide cover for a mere tens of thousands of people? King Zuo Xian may have been frightened by the Qin people. It would be a bit too much to make a fuss. Come on..."

As soon as Youxian Wang Chun said this, he was immediately echoed by many people.

After all, if they want to mobilize troops to support the defense lines in Heli Mountain, Gaolan Mountain and Longshou Mountain, they will have to mobilize their tribe's warriors and consume their tribe's supplies.

Easier said than done.

Is the support so easy to support?

Soon, the big tent fell into a quarrel. In the end, it was the Yuezhi King who had the final say.

"Send the order and follow King Zuo Xian's suggestion to have the tribes stationed in the Heli Mountain, Gaolan Mountain and Longshou Mountain areas be more vigilant. If there is any abnormality, immediately light a beacon to warn!"

King Zuo Xian:......

He looked around at the tribal leaders in the big tent, but saw that the several tribal leaders who had been following him in the past were also avoiding their eyes and did not dare to look at him, and he suddenly felt a little discouraged.

He sighed with relief.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the warriors of my clan to Ruushui and take charge personally..."

The Yuezhi King smiled and nodded.

"Shan, King Zuo Xian is worthy of being my right-hand man!"

When it comes to compliments, it's free of charge, and as for other things, I won't mention them at all. Among the Yuezhi, the Zuoxian King tribe is the strongest and the most powerful. King Zuo Xian volunteered to go to the front line, and he was naturally happy to see what happened.

King Zuo Xian did not hesitate and immediately left the king's tent and returned to his clan.

Send the order, mobilize the young and strong members of the clan, and rush to Ruushui immediately!

Hurry up--

King Zuo Xian's face was as dark as water. He had a hunch that the ruthless man of the Qin Dynasty who swept through the four tribes of Tuopu, Qiemo, Dangtian and Tuge in one day was most likely targeting the Yuezhi!

Because Da Qin had almost no profit from dealing with the Xiongnu, and the Yueshi's current territory was truly a treasure that Da Qin coveted.

King Zuo Xian left, and King Yuezhi and others felt a little uneasy.

That ruthless man from Great Qin wouldn't really come to attack the Yueshi, would he?

After all, King Zuoxian has always been very wise...

But this worry was quickly distracted by another sudden question, and he could no longer care about the judgment of the King Zuoxiang!

PS: Let me explain a little bit about the pigeon update. Since the author has little knowledge and has never been to the Hexi Corridor, his understanding of the terrain there, the distribution of the Yueshi and Xiongnu tribes at that time, and the relevant history is mostly limited.

During this period of time, I have been checking information, but most of the information I can find online is vague and there is not much useful information. We can only make repeated comparisons among various complicated materials, trying to come up with a route of advancement that may not be consistent with the facts, but is as reasonable as possible. (In fact, it may not be reasonable anymore. It seems that the Yuezhi is a little stronger at this time, so let’s just take a look at it. Anyway, it’s a story...)

Therefore, it was a bit difficult to write.

In addition, the author works part-time and is very busy at work on weekdays, so he has more than enough ambition but not enough energy, so he stopped writing for a few days. However, although I am late, I will not be absent. I will break it into parts and gradually make up for it. I will add a thousand words today. (I spent the whole morning searching for information again. The key is that I haven’t found much useful information yet. It’s only when the books are used that I miss them. It’s frustrating.)
