The border army joins the battle group.

The situation on the battlefield changed. The Qin army, on the defensive, finally had a mobile force enough to compete with the Huns. Under the constraints of the border troops, Maodun's main force was tied to Didao and could not move, which gave the Qin army the opportunity to defeat each one.

After obtaining the great victory of the reign of Chen, Li Yuan led his troops out of Liupan Mountain to carry out a major mobilization of various Xiongnu tribes that entered the hinterland of Longxi County.

At the same time, the demise of Huhan Yan's tribe surprised the invading Xiongnu tribes. The Qin army was able to eat a large Xiongnu tribe with three thousand elite cavalry in a short period of time. Under such threats, there was no need to give a order, and the leaders of each tribe also chose to retreat first.

October 30th.

After a long march, more than 20,000 cavalry of the Qin border army finally arrived in the Gaoping area and met with Li Yuan. This was also the first meeting with Li Yuan since leaving Yongyi last year. Compared with the indecision at the time, Wang Li no longer had the mentality of worrying about gains and losses.

Under the strong rule of Li Yuan, Qin State fought east and west, and Guanzhong was stable, showing a revival scene of being in ruins. At this time, the border army was always away from the central government, which undoubtedly weakened the already weak Qin army. Under the persuasion of the older generation of Qin generals such as Xin Sheng, Wang Li has also been actively negotiating with Li Yuan for the past six months to incorporate the border army into the Qin army sequence as a whole.

Especially after the battle at Hulao Pass, Wang Li obviously accelerated the pace of surrender. Li Yuan defeated the invincible Xiang Yu with one's own strength, which made Wang Li feel excited about revenge. Although he did not defeat Xiang Yu himself, Li Yuan's battle also gave Wang Li a hope of restoring his reputation, that is, as long as he surrendered to Li Yuan and fight against the Chu army again in the future, Wang Li could also ask for orders to fight and avenge his previous shame.

Gao Ping.

This holy city, known later as Yan'an, became the place where two Qin troops met. In addition to their military location, the reason why they chose this place was that Li Yuan risked the danger of being cut off by Liu Bang's retreat and went north to Gaoping to help the border army. This friendship cannot be forgotten by the border army.

The two armies merged into one place, and the Qin army had more than 35,000 troops. However, due to the losses of Huhanyan and other tribes, the Great Shanyu Maodun was under the command of the string control personnel. Faced with the multiple disadvantages in terms of military strength, Maodun, who was stationed in Didao, sent people to send a sheepskin letter to Li Yuan for the meeting.

In the city, the meeting hall.

Li Yuan summoned Wang Li, Su Jia, Cao Xin, Luo Jia and other generals to discuss military affairs. The content in Maodun's letter was actually very simple, just to invite Li Yuan to talk in front of the formation. As for what he was going to say, the great khan did not say it clearly.

This situation of complex battle situation and cunning enemy is actually the most nurturing of human abilities. After getting used to the way of discussing the situation of a group of staff members sitting around in later generations, Li Yuan would first listen to the suggestions of the generals whenever he encountered an important decision.

"Marquis Li and the Qin and the Huns are not two. We have nothing to talk about with Maodun. If it is set up to fight the battlefield for the last time, it is possible." Cao Xin was the first to stand up and said carelessly. Although he fought against Chen, he killed Hu Hanyan so happily. Cao Xin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Now, what he hopes most is to fight the Huns again for the last time.

"Is it possible that Maodun wants to withdraw his troops and feels he has no face, so he wants to propose a meeting?" Li Yuan tapped the case, glanced over Cao Xin, and turned to Wang Li, the leader of the border army who had not made any noise. He has been stationed in the frontier for many years, causing Wang Li, who was just over 40, to have a snow spot early on. The location of Jiuyuan County is the pasture that the Huns peeked at, and Wang Li is clearly aware of the changes within the Hun tribe.

"I heard that Maodun was a cunning person. He killed his father, slaughtered Hu, and attacked Yuezhi. He used all means to do everything. This invitation meeting was very likely to be a trap, and Marquis Li would never agree." Wang Li thought for a while and said slowly.

Wang Li was not used to expressing his opinions for the first time at such an important military conference, for fear that if he said it wrong, it would lead to the Qin army's passiveness. Due to his personality, Wang Li still lacked the momentum of a general's decision, which often caused the fighter to lose in hesitation.

However, Wang Li's reminder today was very timely and was unanimously agreed by the Qin generals in the hall.

"If you don't respond, wouldn't Maodun underestimate me?" Li Yuan shook his head and said, "You think this is great. Since Maodun proposes to meet, he will only agree, but the meeting location is designated by us. Even if Maodun has any tricks, he will not be able to touch me at all!"

"Mr. Li was very worried. Finally, the general thought that the meeting place could be chosen on the Wuding River north of Gaoping. There were ravines and ravines that were conducive to hiding ambush troops. If the Huns dared to make any changes, our army would come out together, and kill him without leaving any armor." Wang Li said with murderous aura. The area of ​​Shangjun is always the territory of the border army. Wang Li knew the terrain of this area, and he was naturally very confident about the terrain of this area.

"In this way, let's make an appointment to meet in Gaoping North. At that time, General Wang and General Su lead an army to ambush in the valley. Cao Xin selects five hundred elite cavalry, and five hundred crossbowmen walk with me. Luo Jia leads the headquarters to continue attacking Didao. He cannot withdraw his troops without ordering." Li Yuan nodded and ordered.

In ancient cold weapons wars, it was a very common practice to meet between the leaders of the two sides. If you don’t meet, you will be ridiculed or be second. The key lies in the impact on your reputation.

With Maodun's cunning, he just sent out the argumentative debaters to lobby everywhere, and Li Yuan's reputation no longer exists. In this era of popular sayings, if Li Yuan wants to gain more support, it is still inseparable from the role of fame. Fortunately, the rules of negotiations are fair to both parties. If Maodun can propose an alliance, it is equivalent to using the priority right to ask questions once, and Li Yuan's meeting place is taken for granted.

As long as you choose a favorable location, Li Yuan doesn't have to worry about Maodun's tricks. On the contrary, if Maodun is timid, it will make Li Yuan's reputation successful.

——.

Outside Dido City.

The morning light has just risen from the horizon.

The leaders of the Hun tribe looked nervous and waited uneasily at the entrance of the tent of the Great Shanyu Maodun. Although Didao had houses built by the Qin people, the Huns were still more accustomed to living in their own open-air tents.

For two days, the Great Shanyu Maodun had a gloomy face and did not speak. Even if he came out of the tent, he was not tall and tightly shrank his body in the fur, making people unable to guess whether it was joy or anger.

A moody and impatient great chanyu was the most feared by the leaders of various tribes. Although Maodun was not old, he acted extremely ruthlessly. In the past two years, several tribe leaders who did not obey orders have died inexplicably. As for how he died, no one knew, but in private, there were already many signs pointing to Maodun, the great chanyu.

"The Great Shanyu summoned all the leaders to look in." The young attendant Xin raised the curtain and said to everyone.

The leaders of various tribes breathed a sigh of relief. Maodun summoned him, whether it was good or bad, and finally there would be a result. If he was still as immortal as he is now, when the Qin army counterattacked, the Huns' tribes that were fighting scattered would suffer even more. Hu Hanyan was also among the waiting crowd, but he was about to raise his foot to enter the tent, but he was stopped by his servants.

"Huhanyan, you can't go out."

"Why is this? Didn't the Great Shanyu summon the leaders of various tribes to meet? Am I not the leader of the Huhan tribe?" Hu Hanyan said angrily.

Since the defeat of the Chaochen army, he has been jealous of Didao these days, and many Hun leaders have angrily vented on Huhanyan.

"The Huhan tribe no longer exists." The attendant sneered, ignored Huhanyan who was standing aside and turned around and entered the camp.

Hu Hanyan was shocked by the news. Although he expected that the Hu Han tribe was in a bad situation, he never expected that the change would be so fast, and the person who started was not someone else, and the Great Shanyu Maodun was still the Great Shanyu.

If other tribes take action, Hu Hanyan may be able to borrow troops from his opponents to make a comeback, but now Maodun has made a ruthless move. Which tribe on the grassland dares to stroke Maodun's tiger beard?

Hu Hanyan returned to his tent in a daze. The remaining entourages around him also received news. The intelligent people searched for the master's house early to join him, so as not to be used as slaves when they were taken. The few left behind were also volatile, and they hid in some places to discuss their way out.

Success and defeat of the enemy.

The battle of survival on the grassland is even more tragic than other places.

Maodun was not interested in knowing where Hu Hanyan was going. What he was paying attention to now was the meeting letter that Li Yuan, the Marquis of Shenwu of Qin, had just replied.

What interested Maodun was that Li Yuan was not brave enough to avoid the meeting like some cowardly southerners. However, what made Maodun angry was that Li Yuan proposed a new meeting place.

Undoubtedly, this location will be more beneficial to Li Yuan, which made Maodun, who was intended to make the confidant and controlling the string, hesitate when he was in the meeting.

The Huns were arbitrary archery and fired thousands of arrows at the same time. At close range, even if the opponent had great skills, they could not avoid it. Back then, Touman Shanyu was shot by Maodun's hand.

Now it seems that the Qin people also had a way to deal with it. What exactly was it? Maodun couldn't guess it for a while, which was why he thought hard alone. Unlike Li Yuan's favorite to gather everyone to discuss matters, Maodun even liked this quiet and arbitrary approach.

Over the past two years, the brilliant achievements of the Huns in the east and west have made the leaders of various Xiongnu tribes surrender; the end of the Huhan tribe's extermination also shocked them. If they did not listen to the orders of the Great Shanyu, the result would be very tragic.

The Hun leaders who received the order to enter the tent concentrated their minds and did not even dare to take a breath. They looked at Mao Dun in the middle with a long eye.
