Chapter 205 surprise attack
After Xiang Yu heard the news, he decided that this was the best opportunity for him to take the first step into the Central Plains. He couldn't wait to lead his troops and rush out, but Fan Zeng's words did not seem to agree with his immediate attack.
thought, so he asked: "What do you think, Mr. Fan? Do we still have to sit here and wait here?"
Fan Zeng said: "Overlord, please be patient. Although it seems from the news that there is indeed a great chance with me this time, how can Overlord be sure that this is indeed true? I am sure that Fusu is also in my care."
Many spies have been planted in the ground, so they must also receive the news that we are attacking Qi.
I know, maybe he is afraid that our Chu State will become powerful, so he throws out such a perfect opportunity to lure the Overlord to lead his army to attack. The Overlord should know that although the losses of our army in the conquest of Qi State are not too great, the soldiers
But he is already exhausted. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a strong crossbow to penetrate Lu's silk. Our country of Chu
If the army that has been fighting for a long time fights against the prepared Qin army, it will definitely be at a disadvantage, so I still think that the most important thing at the moment is to confirm the news. The battle between Qin and the Xiongnu is no longer one or two.
Back then, Meng Tian's 300,000-strong army was unable to completely annihilate them. This time
If Fusu really starts a war with the Xiongnu, it will not end in a short time, so we can decide whether to send troops after fully understanding the matter. In this way, our soldiers can also rest for a period of time, and after their physical strength recovers, we will overlord
It’s not too late to lead them into a battle with the Qin people.”
Although Xiang Yu only wanted to expand his business as soon as possible, he was not a person who refused to listen to advice. Now that he heard what Fan Zeng said was very reasonable, he couldn't help but began to waver in his original ideas, so he set his sights on
When I arrived at Long Qie and Xiang Ta, I wanted to hear their thoughts.
See, Xiang is a relatively mature man. When Xiang Yu first said that he would send troops to attack the Central Plains, he felt that it might not be feasible. After hearing Fan Zeng's words, his decision became more firm, so he said: "Overlord, Mr. Fan said it
Very well, we'd better figure out the situation first before sending troops."
Long Qie also nodded and said: "It is really not appropriate to start a big war now. Regardless of whether this news is correct or not, it is difficult to defeat the Qin people with our strength. Only when the Qin people and the Xiongnu are inextricably linked to each other, we will
Only then can we have a chance to give them a blow. And although Qi Ren has already
We surrendered, but the people of Qi must still have the old country in their hearts, and it will not be possible to bring them back in a short time. If we fail to attack Qin, these Qi people may be disadvantageous to us later, so the final general
I think it’s better to follow Mr. Fan’s advice and wait and see what happens.”
Xiang Yu saw that the three people he valued and trusted all thought it would be better not to send troops yet, so he finally made up his mind to take a look first, but he still ordered the spies to gather more information in Xianyang and the north, in order to
Seize the best opportunity to attack. So many spies from the Chu State were sent to various places in the Central Plains.
The intelligence war between Qin and Chu had already begun. But what Xiang Yu and the others never dreamed of was that his talents had left Chu. Xianyang City had already received news about their movements.
Yes, the written message was delivered to Xianyang via flying pigeons from station to station.
On the grassland, in the spacious Chanyu tent, Maodun was listening to a man sweating all over his body and panting, reporting to him the news he had received from all sides. "Great Chanyu, now the Qin people in the Central Plains are here.
Thousands of troops have been deployed in various important places. Once anyone appears suspicious, they will be killed on the spot immediately. All this information was obtained by spies who risked their lives to find out." The man said, raising his sleeves and removing the clothes on his head.
Wiped off the sweat.
"I really can't believe that these Qin people moved so quickly. They were ready for all battles in a short period of time. Mr. Ji, do you think we should still send troops to attack?" Mao Dun regretted that he had rashly acted.
He made this decision. After all, he still had memories of Meng Tian's defeat of the Huns. Although he did not go to the battlefield because he was still young and not valued by his father at that time, he still heard a lot from the mouths of the soldiers.
The people of Shaoqin are so powerful.
Ji Du stood in front of the sheepskin map he drew with his own hands, and used a rough brush he made to mark all the locations mentioned by the man on the map. Just as he was looking at these important passes in trance, he heard Mao Dun
When asked, he hurriedly replied: "Big
Chanyu, according to my judgment, the Qin people will not line up all the intersections with men and horses. They do not have so many manpower, so as long as we find a weak point, we can rush into the Central Plains. By then, all the places in the Central Plains will be
Just let your soldiers and horses plunder at will."
"Have you found a point where you can attack?" Moton walked up to him and asked, looking at the map that he couldn't understand. Moton had always been curious about this map. Those symbols symbolized
He could vaguely understand the images of rivers and mountains, but he couldn't understand the distorted words at all.
Ji Du looked at it for a while and then said: "I can't find a breakthrough right now. After all, our spies can't fully grasp the defense situation in various places, but I'm sure these soldiers will not be distributed everywhere, so we have a good chance."
Modun always felt that Ji Du's words were as good as unsaid, so he had to ask: "In your opinion, how should we find that breakthrough?" There was a hint of distrust in his tone.
Ji Du thought for a while and then said: "If the Great Chanyu is willing to spare a force, he can ask them to attack a key pass with all their strength, and at the same time send spies to investigate at various key passes. If one place is threatened, they will definitely
The association has sent people to various places to ask for help, and those places where the troops are stationary are the weak points of the guards. But in this case, it will be difficult for the troops who were used to find out the news to come back." What Ji read to him was exactly what he was asking for.
plan.
After hearing this plan, Mao Dun thought about it and felt that there was no better way than this, or that he was willing to give up this attack, so he said: "Okay, then I will send Nata and other troops to attack
One place.”
Ji Du nodded and began to look at the map again. In fact, he knew very well that the wisest way now was to stand still and wait for the opportunity to come. After all, only a thousand people can be thieves, and there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days.
, Fusu places all the horses in the north, the cost will be very huge, plus the Central Plains obtained earlier
There is also news about the enemy Chu in the south, and the Huns can wait until they have conflicts and fight before taking advantage of the situation. This will increase the chance of success. However, Ji Du has become disgusted with the grassland because of the hatred in the line.
I wanted to go back to the Central Plains, so I decided to skip this best option.
Just when Maodun made up his mind, suddenly the person who had just reported the matter to him strode in again. The sweat on his face became even more, and his face was full of panic.
Immediately he said loudly: "Da Chanyu, something bad has happened. A cavalry of more than a thousand people suddenly appeared from the east of us and is charging towards the big tent!"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Mao Dun jumped out of his big cowhide tent and looked to the east. However, he could not see anything due to the distance, but he could vaguely hear the shouting of killing coming from the distance.
Modun grabbed the man and said, "What's going on? Where did these people come from and who are they?"
"Yes...it's those people from the Central Plains. I don't know what happened. They suddenly appeared less than ten miles away from here in the east. The original herdsmen there were attacked by them and they came to ask for help from the Great Chanyu.
Now these Central Plains people have chased them towards us." The man was choked by Mao Dun and couldn't breathe, but he still told the truth.
"Ahem!" Mao Dun pushed him out violently and said loudly, "Call out the warriors who are still not guarding. Use our bows, arrows and sabers to show these Central Plains people how powerful they are."
The man just woke up from a dream and shouted loudly. After a while, more than 200 people walked out of the dozens of small tents guarding the big tent. When Mao Dun saw that there were only a few people, he hurriedly asked
: "Where have all my guards and other warriors gone?"
Ji Du came close to him and whispered: "Did you forget, Shanyu? Others were either sent by you to find the whereabouts of these Central Plains people across the grasslands, or to contact people from other tribes to attack the Central Plains together.
Now Shanyu only has more than two hundred warriors by his side."
After listening to Ji Du's words, Mao Dun suddenly remembered this. He had indeed sent everyone around him out, and they would not be able to come for a while. His face suddenly darkened. But after all, Mao Dun had seen it.
A man with strong winds and waves dared to kill his father Touman Shanyu without the support of many people. He was also very courageous. Now that he has reached this point, he knows that escaping is completely seeking death. The only way to escape is to fight with him.
The enemy fought. So he said to two of them: "Wutu, Suoha, you two quickly go to the nearby tribe to find reinforcements. The others will prepare to fight with me!" The two who were named hurriedly jumped up.
After getting off their horses, they headed west. The other Huns also calmed down because Mao Dun did not panic, and each found a favorable place to prepare for the battle.
Mao Dun said to Ji Du: "Mr. Ji, please hide in the tent first. Our people will come to the rescue soon. You can rest assured." After saying this, he ignored Ji Du and also talked to him.
The other people also took out their bows and arrows and aimed into the distance, giving them a head-on blow as soon as the attacker appeared.
