Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 267, Touman suffers from brain disease

It has been five days since Yunzhong County’s information reached Zhao Guo’s country, but HD’s reply from Yunzhong County was that if they could not hold on, HD’s Zhao Guochaotang did not believe that the Huns would go deep to plunder.

After Li Mu of Yanmenguan got the information, he couldn't figure out why the Huns moved their troops against the norm.

"Aside from the army transfer of King Zuo Xian, are there any other movements?" Li Mu asked.

"I don't know, the direction of Yunzhong County conveyed the news of the transfer of about 5 people from Zuoxian King's Department." Sima Cuo said.

Li Mu looked at the map behind him, and kept sliding his hands between Yunzhong County and the Xiongnu. King Zuo Xian mobilized 5 people to dispatch, it could not be for going out for fun, and he was also rubbing the edge of Yunzhong City, which obviously had a bigger movement.

"By the way, General, King Lin Hu has sent news that this year's snowstorm is severe. I hope we can support some of his supplies so that his tribe can survive the winter." Sima Cuo said.

After the Battle of Yanmen Pass, Lin Hu was recruited by Li Mu. Not only was the Xiongnu killed by Li Mu, but the Hu people also feared Li Mu like a natural disaster. Lin Hu directly voted for Wuling cavalry.And Li Mu also readily accepted that there are no cities in the grasslands, and even if the land is laid down, it will require extremely high costs to govern. Therefore, Li Mu recruited Lin Hu and let him be responsible for governing these places. At the same time, he also paid tribute to the cattle and sheep population of Zhao State.

"Snow disaster!?" Li Mu raised his head suddenly, and set his sights on Shangdang County at the junction of Qin and Zhao.

"Yes, according to the envoy of King Lin Hu, the heavy snowfall in winter is unprecedented in ten years, and the entire grassland has been severely affected. I am afraid that even small tribes will not be able to survive this winter." Sima Cuo said.

"If Lin Hu is like this, the Xiongnu must be like this too. I am afraid that King Zuoxian's transfer this time is because the Huns are going south, and their target is probably Shangdang County or Guangyan in Qin State." Li Mu said, pointing to the map.

"Shangdang County in the Qin State? Is Touman suffering from brain disease? He did not hesitate to detour to Yunzhong County to rob Shangdang? Although the Qin army in Shangdang is confronting us, there are also many Qin troops dealing with the Xiongnu." Sima Cuo said.

Because Jiuyuan County and Yunzhong County acted as barriers, there was a certain distance between Shangdang County and the Xiongnu. Sima Cuo didn't understand that the Huns spent so much time trying to plunder Shangdang County. The longer the raid, the easier it was for the enemy to see through their marching route.

"I don't understand what these people are doing, but Touman did something that no one could have imagined. If it wasn't for the Zuoxian King's Department to make a move, none of us would have imagined that Touman had an expert to help behind him." Li Mu said.

"Then do we need to remind Qin?" Sima Cuo asked.

The Xiongnu went south to plunder. This was not a matter between countries, but a war between races. Although the hatred between Qin and Zhao remained, they were descendants of Yan and Huang after all, so they should be unanimous.This is also the consensus formed by the military strategists. Even if Zhao Guochaotang has objections, they will "leak" the news in private to Wang Ben who is stationed in Shangdang.If the Qin side knew the news, it would also "leak" it to them so that they could be prepared.

If the two countries were at war, one country was invaded by the Xiongnu and the two countries had to cease the war and let the other side deal with the Huns’ affairs first, while the other country needed to help the other side guard the army and the city to prevent other people from attacking. This is the etiquette system left over from the Spring and Autumn Period.Although the cunning of soldiers destroyed most of the original war etiquette, this kind of race war is still completely preserved.

"Go, send someone to find a way to send the information to Wang Ben. At the same time, let these troops prepare. After confirming that the target of the Xiongnu is Shangdang County, follow me to dig out the old nest of the Huns." Li Mu said.

A gleam flashed in Sima Cuo's eyes, and he cupped his hands and said
"promise!"

Just when Li Mu was thinking of sending information to Wang Ben, he didn't know that someone was one step ahead of Li Mu and sold the information to Qin.

HD, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Guo Kai smiled and looked at the God of Wealth in front of him.

"Yes, Guo Xiang doesn't know why he called me here this time?" Hun Zhu, the general manager of Luo Wang in Zhao State, said.

"Mr. Hun, I just received a secret letter here about the Xiongnu dispatching troops to plunder Shangdang County. I wonder if Mr. Hun is interested?" Guo Kai looked at Hunzhu and asked.

Guo Kai knew that Hun Zhu was from Qin, but he didn't know Hun Zhu's true identity. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, all countries had the habit of sending spies to other countries. Of course, these types of people were not only for the purpose of investigating the intelligence of the enemy country, but also for finding the ambitious or talented people in the other country, so as to dig.The original Qin Princess Yingyu and Qin Xiaogong's favorite minister Jingjian were such people.

At that time, Wei State was the most powerful country in the world. The two sneaked into Wei State many times in the name of merchants to investigate Wei State's national conditions and find talented people for Qin State. Shang Yang was one of them.

"The Xiongnu plundered Shangdang County? Guo Xiang was joking, there are still Yunzhong and Jiuyuan between Shangdang County and the Xiongnu! If Guo Xiang wants to ask me to drink, how can I have enough good wine." Soul Zhu shook his head and said.

Although he is a trap killer and doesn't know how to march and fight, he is not an idiot. He also knows that if the Huns want to plunder Shangdang County, it will take more time and manpower than looting other places. Even if the plunder is successful, it will take a lot of time to return to the Huns.

However, Guo Kai had traded with him many times. Soul Candle knew that Guo Kai's reputation in Zhao State was not very good, but the other party was also a person of integrity, and he had never made a mistake in dealing with him. Whether it was some information or helping Qin State to say good things, they all took money and did things without any discount.

"Mr. Hun doesn't believe in Kai? Kai is the prime minister of a country, how can he just talk about it?" Guo Kai didn't get angry, and took out the secret letter sent back from the cloud from his arms.

Soul Candle took the secret letter, looked at the handwriting on it and the seal of the general defending the army in the cloud, and knew that it was not a fake. Although Guo Kai covered the sky with one hand in Zhao State, his hand could not reach the frontier army.Because Guo Kai has no ability to rebel.

"Thank you Guo Xiang, I recently got a few luminous pearls and fine jade, and I will appreciate it with Guo Xiang later." Soul Candle said.

"Mr. Hun is indeed a cheerful person, I'll just wait for Mr. Hun." Guo Kai said with a smile.

"Then I'll go back and deal with some caravan matters."

"Go."

After Hunzhu left Guo Kai's prime minister's mansion, he handed over the secret letter intact to the killer of Luowang, and asked him to send it to Shangdang County to Wang Ben and Xianyang's headquarters.

At this moment, Wang Ben was watching the information about Zhao Jun's transfer to Guangyan. Zhao Jun suddenly sent troops to Guangyan at this stage of confrontation, which made Wang Ben feel abnormal.Wang Ben wanted to divide his troops, but he needed Xianyang's order to mobilize the army, and he had already reported it, Zhao Guo's strange.

"General, the Zhao army has been active since yesterday. Today Qianmu City came to report that the Zhao army has moved north again. Do we have to wait any longer?" the lieutenant asked suddenly.

"Wait, even if Zhao Jun wants to start a war, he won't start it now, we have time." Wang Ben said.

Suddenly a guard came to the lobby and saluted Wang Ben and Dun Ruo and said

"General, Luo Wang sent a message, saying that the general should open it himself. The source of the message is HD."

"Submit it quickly." Wang Ben said.

The guard gave the information to Dunwei, and Dunwei handed it over to Wang Ben. After Wang Ben opened the information, he looked at the contents inside, stood up immediately, looked at Dunwei beside him and said
"Mobilize the army immediately, let the three cities of Lishi, Zhongyang, and Puzi mobilize more than half of the troops to rush to Fushi immediately."

Dun Ruo looked at Wang Ben, who had not agreed to transfer troops before, and now he was about to mobilize almost [-] troops to front Fu Shi, which made him a little confused.

"Just read this letter and you'll know." Wang Ben paused the information.

Dunwei's eyes, which were somewhat puzzled, suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Did Touman, the Hun's leader, suffer from a brain disorder? He actually bypassed Yunzhong and Jiuyuan to rob Shangdang!?" Dun weakly called out.

"Touman is smart. It is precisely because Shangdang has not been invaded by the Huns for many years, especially because Jiuyuan and Yunzhong act as its barriers, so we will not take precautions against it. Now is not the time to hesitate. Let Lishi first mobilize 2 people to go north to support Fushi, and the rest will march normally." Wang Ben said.Although he heard that the court of Qin State believed that the snow disaster would make the Xiongnu go south to plunder, but the focus was on Beidi County.Therefore, Wang Ben felt that the fact that the Xiongnu went south was true, but he still needed to judge whether he chose Shangdang. He could not let all the troops go north, let the 2 people from Lishi go north first, and let the rest of the army march slowly, in case this was Zhao.

"No!" said suddenly.

"Send the letter to Xianyang and give it to the king." Wang Ben resealed the letter and handed it to the guard.

"promise!"

It was urgent for the Xiongnu to go south. Wang Ben didn't dare to hesitate at all, and he no longer waited for the transfer order from Xianyang, and directly asked Dunwei to lead the army northward, while he waited for Shangdang County to wait for Xianyang's reply.

At this time, outside Shangdang County, the Xiongnu's army was gradually converging. Touman sat in the king's tent, looking at the actions of the few people below, his face suddenly sank.
