Chapter 461 The Huns attacked

When Bailixian walked into the Xiangzhuang tent, he found that Xiangzhuang's face was a little gloomy, so he sighed softly in his heart, thinking that the king should be in a bad mood. Although the army and battalions have been stationed separately, once the patients are found, they are isolated immediately, but they still cannot stop the spread of the plague. Now, there are more than 100,000 soldiers with illness!

What's worse is that the number of people who die from the plague every day is also rising sharply, from the initial one to the more than 100 people a day to thousands. Although the king urgently ordered doctors from various counties to come and ordered major red-topped merchants to urgently deliver drugs to the Nanyang Daying, they could face 100,000 patients. Such a small amount of doctors and medicines is a drop in the bucket.--net.

The only thing that is thankful is that the 50,000 cavalrymen of Mengyun, Mengyuan, Mengliao, and Huyan's 3,000 wolf cavalry were not affected by the plague, otherwise the dispatch of troops would be short of limits, and there would be no way to start chasing the Han army. The blockade of Mianshui, Baishui and Jiangshui would also be in name only.

"King." Baili Xian bowed to Xiang Zhuang.

"Oh, Ziliang, you are here." Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Hu Yan just condemned the flying cavalry and returned the reward. The wolf cavalry chased him to Hulao Pass to meet Jin Xiang, but he did not see the whereabouts of Liu Bang's old man."

"How could it be?" Baili Xian said in surprise, "Did Liu Bang hide in the middle of the way?"

"The possibility is not great." Xiang Zhuang shook his head and said, "Hu Yan also reported that a small Han army unit had rushed into Yaoshan near Yangdi. Hu Yan sent a thousand wolf cavalry to chase him, but he was caught in the Han army's golden cicada escape plan. Although he intercepted more than a hundred Han troops, the remaining twenty people ran away. I suspect that Liu Bang was inside."

"Has Liu Bang escaped into Yaoshan?" Baili Xian was stunned at first when he heard this, and then comforted Xiang Zhuang, "King, Yaoshan is a famous mountain and river in the Central Plains. The mountains are high and dense forests, the ravines and ditches are dangerous, and snakes and insects are rampant in the mountains. Liu Bang only took more than twenty people into the mountains, and he is afraid he can't get out. After all, Liu Bang is already in his seventies."

"Yes.(--net.)" Xiang Zhuang nodded slightly when he heard this. Looking back on the pain of crossing Meishan, even a young man in his twenties could not stand it. Although Yaoshan is not as wide as Meishan, it is still strange and dangerous. Liu Bang escaped into the mountains in his seventies, and it was indeed difficult for him to get out alive.

Xiang Zhuang felt a little relieved and said, "Ziliang, the news of Zhang Liang's death has been confirmed."

Bailixian sighed softly and said, "A scholar who died for his confidant, Zhang Liangzhen is a national scholar."

Xiang Zhuang also sighed and said, "The three heroes in the early Han Dynasty, Han Xin and Zhang Liang all died, and now only Xiao He is left."

"Three masters of the Han Dynasty?" Bai Lixian was shocked when he heard this. As an ancient man of this era, he said he had never heard of it.

"Uh..." Xiang Zhuang was almost leaking his mouth and quickly explained, "What I mean is that when Liu Bang was first named King of Han, there were three powerful ministers under his tent. Now Han Xin and Zhang Liang are all dead, leaving Xiao He alone, which shows that Liu Han's energy has been exhausted and he will never die."

Baili Xian replied happily: "Now my great Chu is a talented person."

Today, the State of Chu is indeed a talented man. The Wendi Yin Yin is the Minister of Wu She. Uh, Baili Xian can barely be considered half a civil official, and the military general is even more talented. General Bi Shu is a talented man who is not born in the world. Gao Chu and Pang Yu are also the talents of generals. Hu Yan, Jin Xiang is the bravest of the three armies, and there is also a general Meng who is in the extreme cavalry battle!

This is the older generation, and among the younger generation, there are also rising stars such as Xiang Zhi, Pang Zheng, Gao Lang, Mengyuan, Mengliao, etc. At least in the next few decades, the Great Chu will never have any worries about lacking generals!

"There is another thing." Xiang Zhuang said again, "Lu Tai's army has already entered Yingchuan County."

Lu Tai, Zhou Guanfu led 30,000 Han cavalry and 20,000 Hu cavalry across Mianshui and all the way east. He originally planned to threaten Jiangdong and force Xiang Zhuang to return to his army to save himself, but he was intercepted by Yu Ziqi in Hengshan County. The Han army was short of soldiers and food. After a few days of confrontation, Lu Tai led his army to the north and rushed into Yingchuan County a few days ago.

Baili Xian said: "I'm afraid Lu Tai wants to go to Hulao Pass and return to Guanzhong?"

Xiang Zhuang nodded and said, "There are now three thousand tigers in Jinxiang, three thousand wolf cavalry in Hulan, and three thousand Mongolian and Liaoning elite cavalry in Hulan. Don't think about going there."

Baili Xian said: "If Hulao Pass wants to be under control for a long time, the supply of food and grass is a problem."

Within ten days and half a month, the supply of military rations in Hulao Pass is not a problem, but it will not work any longer.

Hulao Pass is not like Wu Pass. Gaochu's army in Wu Pass can also get supplies from Nanyang nearby. Although the plague in Nanyang is rampant, the dried food is not contaminated and can still be eaten with confidence. However, Hulao Pass is seven or eight hundred miles away from Nanyang, and there is also a Yingchuan County controlled by the Qi army in the middle, so it is not easy to transport food.

In fact, even many counties in Nanyang County are still controlled by the Han army. Shortly after the Chu army won the Mianshui Battle, a large-scale plague broke out in the army. In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the Chu army no longer used troops to the surrounding counties after capturing several major counties such as Wan County, Deng County and Rang County.

Xiang Zhuang said: "So I consider sending troops from Pengcheng to attack Dang County. As long as Dang County is captured, the Hggou can be cleared, and the navy's grain transport fleet can reach Xingyang directly." After saying this, Xiang Zhuang said helplessly, "As for Chen County, Yingchuan County and the remaining counties in Nanyang County, I will wait until the winter begins."

After winter, the weather turns colder, and the plague will subside in the future, and then you will be able to use troops.

However, the Chu army had the spare strength to use troops to Dang County, Chen County, Yingchuan County and Nanyang County. If we wanted to mobilize a large army to attack Guanzhong or Qi, we were unable to meet the strength. The Chu army defeated Qi and Han troops in a row, but in the end, they only caught the four devastated and broken counties of Dang, Chen, Yingchuan and Nanyang, which made Xiang Zhuang a little frustrated.

Bailixian also felt a little regretful, but he still advised Wei Xiangzhuang to say, "King, time is on the side of Da Chu."

Indeed, after the Battle of Huainan and Mianshui, Qi and Han were greatly damaged, and Chu had the power to dominate the country. And as time goes by, this advantage will only increase and become bigger. This plague will inevitably hit the Chu army severely, but at most ten years, Chu will be able to recover. At that time, a large-scale northern expedition of millions of troops will be launched. Who can resist it?

"Time?" Xiang Zhuang shook his head and sighed, "Time is also on the Huns."

"Huns?" Bailixian was stunned when he heard this and said, "Where did the king start?"

Xiang Zhuang picked up a few small rolls of paper from the desk and handed it over, saying, "You can take a look at this first."

Bailixian took the small paper roll and unfolded it one by one. After reading it in a hurry, his face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "The Huns actually divided into three groups to attack Yan State at the same time, Zhao State and South Korea?!"

"And, the Huns are not ordinary grass-fighting valleys this time." Xiang Zhuang said in a deep voice, "This time, the Huns have turned apart and no longer aimed at robbing property, but have plundered women, children and craftsmen in large numbers. They have great ambitions!"

#############

"Wow..." Maodun gently strangled the war horse, raised his right hand slightly, and hundreds of horse-drawn warriors following behind him stopped, and the group stopped at the gate of Shanggu County, outside the gate of Juyang.

At this time, Juyang City had already been captured by the Huns' army.

Maodun adopted the strategy mentioned by military advisor Gongsun, and sent three hundred warriors Qiao Zhuangbei Diao Hushang to sneak into Juyang City in advance. Then, he opened the city gate at night. The Xiongnu cavalry flocked in again, and as a result, he captured the empty Juyang City without any effort. At this time, the Yan army was attacking Zhao State in a large-scale manner, and there were only two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people in Juyang City.

At the opening of the city gate, teams of women and children from Yan Kingdom, craftsmen, were escorted by the Hun cavalry, and came out one after another.

Among the crowd, a strong man with a strong body and dark skin was very eye-catching. Maodun couldn't help but point the whip in his hand at the strong man and asked, "Hey, are you a blacksmith?"

The strong man just gave a cold look and ignored it.

Not to mention that Maodun was speaking the Xiongnu dialect, the strong man couldn't understand it, and he wouldn't even ignore it. The orthodox concept of the Huaxia people has always been very strong. Just look at the four general terms of the surrounding barbarians, including Donghu, Xirong, Nanman, and Beidi, you can see that the Huaxia people have had a sense of superiority since ancient times.

In this era, there were very few people in the Central Plains who had no integrity like Gongsun said.

Of course, it is rare for people who can truly die with the utmost pride. If you have the truth, you are ants and you are greedy for life, let alone people?

The braised pear warriors behind Maodun were furious and drew their swords to kill the strong man, but they were stopped by Maodun. Maodun had long been convinced by his uncle. In his eyes, craftsmen like the strong man in front of him were simply treasures of the Huns. These people are skilled craftsmen who can change the entire Huns, so how could they kill them without any chance?

The strong man glanced at Maodeng with disdain and indifferentness, but Maodeng didn't care at all.

Looking at the women, children and craftsmen of Yan State who were walking through the crowd, Maodun suddenly felt very happy. He seemed to see the 400,000 Huns' iron cavalry equipped with sharp iron weapons and excellent cavalry bows. Then the Huns' soldiers turned forward in the year, the Donghu and Yuezhi were defeated and destroyed one after another. Finally, they rushed to the south, and the beautiful Central Plains were also included in the Huns' bag.

Thinking of the proud part, Maodun couldn't help laughing to the sky. The situation was so good!

The uncle behind Ma Maodun said frowned and couldn't help but persuade: "Juyang is just a small town, Yuyang, no end. The branch and Jixian are the grand city of Yan. The Great Shanyu should not be satisfied with small achievements. It is better to divide the troops to attack Yuyang as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Yan army returns, it will be difficult to accomplish."

"Yes." Maodun was not angry because of his uncle's extremely impolite advice, but said a little embarrassedly, "I am a little proud. Thank you for the reminder of the military advisor." Maodun condemned the flying cavalry to summon the four little Huns kings to the front, and ordered the four men to lead 20,000 cavalry to take Yuyang in groups. Without a final end, he ordered the branch and the four cities of Jixian.
