Chapter 68: The battle is imminent

Emperor Jing sat down easily: "It is a scam that people say that the Huns have no baggage! The Huns can only take half a month with the food they bring. Even if the Huns will plunder, the border will have been solid and cleared, where will they plunder? If there is no baggage, what will they eat? Could it be that they all go to plunder?"

With a strong wave of his right hand, his voice was even higher: "A large army of 500,000 will need a large piece of grass to chew grass!"

"This, this..." Emperor Jing's words woke Dou Ying up from his shock, and he was still unbelievable, as if he was dreaming, and his speech was stuttering.

Dou Ying is not hindered by his eloquence and is famous for being able to speak out. It is not that easy to make him stutter. However, this matter is too unbelievable, and he can't do it without stuttering.

"The Han Dynasty has been established for decades, and talents have emerged. Han Xin, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Jia Yi, Chao Cuo, Zhou Yafu, and you Dou Ying, who is not a person with a deep understanding of strategy? But have you ever thought about the supplies of the Xiongnu?" Emperor Jing said more and more: "Zhou Yang not only found the supplies of the Xiongnu, but also burned them down with fire!"

Emperor Jing said a lot, and no one except Dou Ying understood. Empress Dowager Dou couldn't understand so she asked: "Emperor, what are you talking about? The baggage, the fire, the old man listened to it in a confused way."

Dou Ying finally woke up and touched her forehead and said, "Empress Dowager, although my nephew knows the matter, he is still confused. It's like telling a story, not like real, but real!"

"Speak quickly!" Empress Dowager Dou urged.

Emperor Jing nodded slightly, Dou Ying's voice was very high, almost singing out loud: "Empress Dowager, Zhou Yang just heard an urgent report. He led 10,000 cavalry to sneak behind the Huns' army and burned hundreds of thousands of herders and millions of cattle and sheep in a fire."

"Burn the cattle and sheep of the Huns?" Empress Dowager Dou was incredible, and the crutches in her hand focused on the ground: "Really? How to burn this?"

Liu Hao's eyes were particularly bright, the confusion in his eyes faded, and his face was glowing red.

"Empress Dowager, you don't know anything." Dou Ying was familiar with history books, and it was his time to perform: "When King Wuling of Zhao defeated the Huns, the Huns marched together with the people. They brought cattle, sheep, women, children, boys, and family to follow the tribe..."

"How could there be such a war? This is moving!" Empress Dowager Dou was a little unbelievable.

"That's not it!" Dou Ying affirmed: "The night before King Wuling of Zhao defeated the Huns, the Huns and their families ate mutton and drank horse breasts. The next day, countless casualties were killed and injured. The army of 300,000 was only tens of thousands of people who escaped."

After a brief pause, he continued: "Later, the Huns also realized that the herdsmen and the army were not conducive to the war, so they separated. The separation was separated. However, when encountering a major war, the Xiongnu herdsmen would still drive cattle and sheep, ride horses, sing pastoral songs, and then follow. The reason why the herdsmen wanted to come with their families was to reunite with their families, and the cattle and sheep they laid were the supplies of the Huns' army. However, we did not think so before."

Queen Mother Dou understood: "Zhou Yang thought of it. He went to set a fire and burned the herdsmen and cattle and sheep to death? But is this fire so easy to release? The herdsmen are not like the army, and they are everywhere, how can they burn it?"

"The Queen Mother asked well." Dou Ying tapped with both hands: "In fact, the Xiongnu herders usually move in tribal action, often several, and dozens of tribes are concentrated, at least thousands, at most tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands. The herders are really separated because they are going to the herdsland and divide the water source grassland, and they will scatter everywhere like beans. It is not easy to start at this time. Zhou Yang took action when the Xiongnu herders were moving in. At that time, thousands, and even more people were concentrated in the camp, which was too convenient."

Queen Mother Dou finally understood: "This Zhou Yang is very good at choosing opportunities! How many herdsmen will be burned to death with this fire? How many cattle and sheep?"

"That's not it!" Emperor Jing took the conversation excitedly and said with a smile: "My mother, do you know how many horses Zhou Yang has seized? More than 230,000 horses!"

"So many?" Empress Dowager Dou's hand shivered and her crutch almost fell to the ground: "Oh my God, is he fighting a war? It's almost like robbing?"

"The Empress Dowager is right!" Dou Ying said excitedly: "The Hun herders followed the army without the protection of the army. Zhou Yang sneaked behind, which was no different from robbing."

"Good rob! Good rob! The Huns robbed the Han Dynasty for decades, and it was finally the Han Dynasty's turn to rob the Huns!" The crutches in Empress Dowager Dou's hand focused on the ground, making a heavy and rapid sound.

"This boy Zhou Yang is so weird! It's so weird!" Empress Dowager Dou's pale face was flushed, and sheep was very excited to praise: "I really didn't expect that his military use would be so strange and unpredictable. Without cattle and sheep, the Han Dynasty would be invincible. However, Master, you can't control the front line in Chang'an. You have to let the soldiers on the front line fight! You have to let Zhou Yang perform his tricks!"

Emperor Jing smiled very happily: "Empress Xie's mother reminds me that the emperor thinks exactly this. Zhou Yang's use of troops is strange and unpredictable. How can I control it in Chang'an?"

"Father!" Princess Nangong's face was filled with joy, and she knelt in front of Emperor Jing, keeping silent.

Meiren Wang, Princess Yangxin, and Princess Longlu knelt down. Meiren Wang even pulled Liu Zi and asked him to kneel down, but Liu Zi insisted on standing and not kneeling.

Their meaning, Emperor Jing understood that they were asked to issue an order to abolish the national order to marry Princess Nangong into the Huns.

Emperor Jing looked at Liu Zi and asked, "Yuan, why don't you plead for your sister?"

Liu Feng blinked his bright eyes: "Father, my child thinks this is not suitable."

"Yu'er, don't talk nonsense!" Wang Meiren's face tightened and she started to scold her.

After waiting for this opportunity for so many years, I finally waited for it. How could it be inappropriate?

Princess Nangong, Princess Longu, and Princess Yangxin stared at Liu Zi hatefully.

"Don't blame Tao'er, as I thought it was not appropriate to issue an order at this time." Empress Dowager Dou stood up and said, "After issuing an order at this time will hurt the hearts of the soldiers. The soldiers will think that they sacrificed their lives and were not fighting against the Huns for the Han Dynasty, but against the royal princess."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

What Emperor Jing was worried about was that Empress Dowager Dou forced him to issue an order immediately.

It is absolutely okay to issue an order now. However, it is most appropriate and appropriate to issue an order until the war is over and everything is settled.

"Nangong, come and help grandma out for a walk!" Empress Dowager Dou stood up, leaned on a crutch, and walked away quickly with Princess Nangong's support.

"Tu tuk!"

The sound of a crutch pounding the ground came, and Empress Dowager Dou's dragon horse spirit seemed to be flying. While walking, she comforted Princess Nangong: "Nangong, don't worry. This order is just time. The great man has already been invincible, so you can rest assured!"

"Thank you, Nangong understands!"

Tears surged in Princess Nangong's eyes. She was reluctant to marry the Huns. Now, she finally didn't have to worry anymore, and she was so excited that she burst into tears.

Looking at the excited Nangong, Emperor Jing's eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

Wiping his eyes, Emperor Jing shouted: "Dou Ying, send this news to Zhou Yafu immediately. Tell him that he should do it. Zhou Yang has made great achievements in the north, and he cannot be idle even in the south. Don't want his father to be inferior to his son!"

"I'm afraid the father is worse than the son!" Empress Dowager Dou's voice came from afar.

People with blind eyes have very good ears, so their hearing is so good!

Huns camp.

At this time, the Huns no longer cried. Their beloved cattle and sheep had been slaughtered and made into jerky meat. They would not cry even if they wanted to cry.

The military officer Shanyu was wearing military uniform and riding on a horse. His body was like an iron tower, majestic, with a tiger's eyes wide open and he glanced in front of him.

Hundreds of thousands of Huns were lined up in neat formations, with people like dragons and horses like this, with extraordinary momentum, without squinting eyes and murderous aura.

"The warriors of the Great Huns: Han people are hateful! Hateful!" Junchen Shanyu began his pre-marching speech, raised his right arm high, and the sound was like a loud bell. The voice spread from afar: "The Han people attacked our herdsmen and burned our parents, Yan family, children, brothers, and sisters, do you hate the Han people?"

"hatred!"

There was only one word, but it expressed the hatred of the Huns. They waved their arms and roared constantly, and the sound waves rushed towards the sky.

Zhou Yang's fire made the Huns frightened and hated them so much that they could not be more hated. The herdsmen who followed were either the parents of these soldiers, or their brothers, sisters, the clans, and children. It would be impossible for them to not hate them.

"Do you want revenge?"

Junchen Shanyu waved his arm again and swung it hard.

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

These two words are the ones that the Huns have mentioned the most in the past few days. They are always thinking about taking revenge on the Han Dynasty. At this time, they roared out like thunder and lightning, rushing away, and can be heard hundreds of miles away.

"Under the sun and the moon, above the desert, the kings of the kings, the Great Khan of the Great Huns, I, order you to: enter the Han territory! Capture the Han people's property, cattle and sheep, silk, cloth, gold and silver, porcelain! Kill the Han people! Forcing their wives and concubines to cry!" The military minister Shanyu pulled out the scimitar and waved it hard, and a bright sword light flashed: "The Kunlun God will bless us! The Kunlun God!"

"Kunlun God!"

"Kunlun God!"

The shouts of soaring into the sky echoed on this grassland, shaking the earth trembled.

The scimitar in Junchen Shanyu pointed southward, and the Hun army drove southward, making a "rumble" roar.

At this time, the Huns had a glimmer of hatred in their eyes. After fighting for so many years, they had never suffered such a big loss, and they had never had the experience of rushing behind the Han army to kill their families.

In the past, they were so proud, comfortable and happy to treat the Han people like this... But when the Han army returned it to them, they realized that it was so heartbroken!

Junchen Shanyu slapped his horse on his back and rushed south.

Looking at the army that was missing his head and behind his tail, Junchen Shanyu, two thick eyebrows were tightly twisted together, as if they were unsheathed swords, and said hatefully: "Zhou Yang, this Shanyu is here!"

Yanmen, Zhou Yang’s general’s mansion.

Zhou Yang, Li Guang, Cheng Bushi, Feng Jing, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Qin Wuhui and others gathered together and looked at the map in front of them.

This map was drawn by Zhou Yang ordered people to summarize and sort out. It is very accurate. The mountains, rivers and waters on the border are marked on it.

"Master General, the Huns are here! Here we are here!" Li Guangyuan relaxed his arms and pointed to the location on the map, with a very high tone: "The Huns slaughtered cattle and sheep, and they were so slaughtering like something. This time they came, shouting to take revenge. I wonder if they were to avenge their families or to avenge their beloved cattle and sheep?"

"Ha ha!"

Everyone laughed.

The enemy's crying is my happiness! The more uncomfortable the Huns are, the more joy Zhou Yang and the others are.

"For decades, the Han Dynasty has never made the Huns cry! This time, they have learned the greatness of the Han Dynasty!" Cheng Buzhi waved his arm excitedly.

"The Huns came to kill, the village was destroyed, and the city was burned. What a miserable scene?" Feng Jing's eyes flashed with tears: "The father cried, the son cried, the wife cried, the husband cried, and the son cried, and the mother cried, and the liver was broken..."

Speaking of this, the miserable scene of the Huns massacred the Han people and could no longer be said.

The tragic massacre of the Huns was a rare disaster that was rare throughout the ages, and it was not necessarily inferior to the massacres of the Mongols in later generations.

Every time the Huns returned from plunder, there would be a massacre. Women and young men did not kill them, but women wanted to be misled, and men wanted to be slaves. The elderly and weak men would be killed.

Before slaughtering old and weak boys, the Huns first gathered them together and told them that they could run for life. If they ran slowly, they would become prey of the Huns, shoot and eat them for the fierce dogs.

The old and weak boys were driven away by the Huns, and they had to escape. But where were they as fast as the Huns' horses? It was impossible to escape. The Huns rode their horses, waved their whips, and shouted from behind, as if they were chasing their prey.

It was not until enough teasing that they began to shoot. At the beginning of the shooting, the Huns shouted bloodthirsty and the barking of fierce dogs. The Huns treated the old and weak boys of the Han Dynasty as prey.

When they kill old and weak boys, they will ask their relatives to watch. How torture is that? How many parents and children resist because of this, but in the end they are massacred by the Huns.

After killing the old and weak boys, the Huns still refused to give up, but cut off their heads, and some were made into wine vessels. More were piled together and piled up into Rentou Mountain. The Huns knelt on the ground, roaring at the "Kunlun God" and began to sacrifice to their gods.

Such a tragic event is rarely heard of in the world, but it actually happens in the border. This is the experience of the people of the Han Dynasty. Anyone who hears it will shed tears.

When Feng Jing said this, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

After a long silence, everyone temporarily suppressed their tragedy. Li Guang said: "Master, this time, we must beat the Huns to hurt, and we will never forget it! Humph, we go deep into the desert and always encounter the warm hospitality of the Huns. That's because the Han Dynasty hasn't beat them yet, and they don't know how powerful the Han Dynasty is!"
