Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 396: Burn him clean with fire!

Late at night, in the Qin army camp, many soldiers had rested, but the candles in the commander's tent were still burning. Meng Wu stood in front of the map and was carefully planning various routes for the Huns to fight or escape tomorrow.

"Report! The commander's scouts have important news to report!!" The soldier's voice sounded outside the commander's tent.

Meng Wu took his mind off the map and frowned slightly. Although he had gathered his scouts, there were still Qin army scouts outside observing the Xiongnu's movements.

"Let them in quickly!" Meng Wu said.

"promise!"

Soon four soldiers came in with two scouts and two tightly tied Hun cavalry. Meng Wu saw the tightly tied Hun cavalry and asked
"How is this going?"

"Commander Qi, when my subordinates were investigating the situation in the Xiongnu camp, these two Huns took the initiative to come out of the Xiongnu camp and came towards our camp. They were caught by two of us. One of them He can speak our words, and he told us that they came to surrender." The scout on the side replied.

After the scout finished speaking, the soldiers on the side pushed the tightly tied Hun cavalry, and one of them said to Meng Wu.
"Commander of the Qin Army, we have sent our leader to discuss with the commander about surrendering and attacking King Youxian." One of the Huns said.

Meng Wu frowned and looked at the two people, and asked in a deep voice.
"Who is the leader of your family?"

"I am Heyang Hu, the personal guard of He Yangli, the leader of the Heyang tribe. He is Dumark, the son-in-law of Abatu, the leader of the Abatu tribe. We come with sincerity to discuss surrender with the commander." Heyang Fox said.

Although Meng Wu didn't know whether the two men really wanted to surrender or pretended to surrender, he still followed their words and asked
"With what sincerity did you come, and why did He Yangli and Abatu surrender?"

"I have the defense map of the Xiongnu camp in my arms. As for why my leader surrendered to your country, it is because King Youxian attacked our two tribes first." Heyang Fox general Heyang tribe, Abatu tribe and What happened between King Youxian was revealed.

Dumark looked at the heavy-faced Meng Wu on the side, then looked at Heyang Hu, and started to speak in Hun dialect, but Meng Wu couldn't understand what he said, so he could only look at Heyang Hu on the side. .

"Dumark said that he has a token of their Abatu tribe in his arms, which can prove their identity and sincerity." He Yanghu said.

The soldiers on the side took out a piece of animal skin and a scimitar after groping in the arms of Heyang Hu and Dumark. Meng Wu took the animal skin and scimitar. He did not know what the scimitar was. What is it? He whispered to the soldier on the side.

"Go and invite the two people from the snare!"

"promise!"

After the soldiers left the tent, Meng Wu spread out the animal skin. On the animal skin was the defense map of the Xiongnu camp. Meng Wu began to compare the defense map one by one based on their intelligence, and found that it matched in many places.

"Keep talking." Meng Wu looked at He Yanghu and said.

"In the evening, King Youxian summoned all the tribal leaders to prepare for the decisive battle with the Qin army tomorrow. Each tribe has been prepared. Because there has been a long-standing grudge between my family leader and King Youxian, it is very likely that tomorrow King Youxian will let our tribe take the lead, and in addition to King Youxian's previous oppression of us, our two tribes decided to lead our troops to surrender to the Qin Dynasty. Our two armies, with a total of [-] cavalry, are willing to help the commander to attack King Youxian together." He. Yang Hu said.

After Meng Wu glanced at He Yanghu and fell into deep thought, he couldn't believe He Yanghu's words. After all, the time they came was so coincidental that it happened to be the early stage of the war. This made Meng Wu uneasy. At the same time, if this happened If it is true, then he can make better adjustments and better defeat the Youxian King.

Just when Meng Wu was deep in thought, the armored man came to the commander's tent with the two spies in the net. Meng Wu called the two of them to his side, told them what had just happened, and whispered

"Are they telling the truth?"

One of the spies took the dagger, looked at the ruby ​​​​and wolf head on the dagger and nodded.
"Commander, this dagger is real. Every Xiongnu tribal leader has such a dagger. This is issued by the Xiongnu royal court to each tribal leader. I have seen the same one before. As for what they said, I dare not Are you sure? Please ask the commander to hand over the two of them to us for separate interrogation."

Meng Wu nodded, and the soldiers on the side took the two people out separately. He thought that Meng Wu didn't believe him and was about to kill them. He Yang Hu immediately shouted. Although Du Mark on the side didn't know He Yang What did the fox mean, but he could also find something from the current situation, and he shouted immediately.However, the soldiers did not stop because of the shouts of the two men. After sending the two men into two camps separately, the two snare spies began to interrogate the two men.

Soon the two returned.

"Commander, we can confirm that they are people from the Heyang tribe and the Abatu tribe. We have indeed heard about the conflict between the two tribes and King Youxian for a long time. As for whether the two tribes have surrendered, we don't know. We can be sure that the two tribes have surrendered. What he said is true and there is no sign of lying,” said one of the spies.

"Well, bring them back." Meng Wu nodded and said.

The two spies stepped aside and Heyanghu and Dumark were brought back.

"If the commander-in-chief still doesn't believe us, you can let us go back and let our leader come to discuss this matter with the commander-in-chief in person. The intention of our two leaders to surrender to Qin is true. Please believe it, commander-in-chief." He Yanghu said.

Dumark looked at Heyanghu with a look of death on his face, and started shouting. He didn't know what he was talking about, but Heyanghu didn't translate for him, so he could only shout.Meng Wu watched the two men wave to the soldiers behind them.The soldier on the side pulled out his saber. Just when Heyanghu and Dumark were about to face death, the soldier cut off the ropes on their bodies.

After the restraints on his body disappeared, He Yanghu opened his eyes and said

"Does the commander believe us?"

"I believe in you. Since your leader is willing to surrender, I will naturally agree. Qin welcomes you, but I cannot bring one hundred thousand Qin people to the gambling table. You must show your sincerity. I am preparing to attack the Xiongnu tonight. Camp, you go back and tell your leaders to let them cause chaos within the Xiongnu camp. I don’t care how chaotic it is. This is my test for you. If you complete it, I will completely believe you.

I will send someone to follow you back to the Huns camp. "Meng Wu said.

Heyanghu translated Mengwu's words to Dumark, and Dumark thought for a moment and nodded to Heyanghu.

"Okay, who wants to come back to camp with us?" He Yanghu asked.

"Me," said one of the snare spies.

The two of them had been in the grasslands for many years and were familiar with the Huns' customs and language. It was most appropriate for them to go. "Okay, we will naturally complete the mission of the commander-in-chief, but we need to agree on a time. Once we cause chaos and the commander-in-chief does not arrive as promised, we may be exposed. We cannot bring the warriors of our tribe to the gambling table. ." He Yanghu said.

"You have no right to bargain. You only have one chance." Meng Wu said.

Seeing Meng Wu's tough attitude, He Yanghu could only say with an ugly expression.

"I will go back and report to the leader. As for whether I can agree to the invitation or not, it is not up to me."

Meng Wu nodded, and after agreeing on this matter, Heyanghu and Dumark left the Qin army camp with the snare spies and returned to the Xiongnu camp.

After seeing Heyanghu and Dumark come back, Heyangli and Abatu immediately summoned them. After listening to their words, Heyangli and Abatu also fell into silence. The conditions proposed by Mengwu It was really harsh for them. If it caused civil strife in the Xiongnu camp, would the 3 of them survive?
Abatu looked at He Yangli and asked

"Heiqin's conditions are too harsh. We are gambling with our [-] sons. We cannot afford the gamble."

Abatu knew very well that after they surrendered to the Qin State, if they wanted to maintain their position, these three soldiers were their foundation. No matter who they surrendered to, without their own strength, they would be nothing more than a role that could be manipulated.

He Yangli's face began to become uncertain, but now they have no way out. The best way out now is to listen to Meng Wu and cause chaos in the Xiongnu camp, but let them gamble with [-] men. He Yangli was unwilling in his heart.

"Chief, there is the Black Qin envoy who came back with us outside the camp." He Yanghu said.

He Yangli was stunned but still nodded and said
"Let him in."

"Yes."

Just when He Yanghu went out to invite the spies, Abatu grabbed He Yangli's arm and whispered
"Do you really want to gamble with the lives of thirty thousand sons? Once we fail to wait for Heiqin's army, none of us thirty thousand sons, including you and me, will have a chance to survive."

"But do we still have a choice now? Since we have embarked on this road, we must go to the end." He Yangli said in a low voice.

Abatu looked at He Yangli with strange eyes. He and He Yangli had grown up together. They were not real brothers, but they were better than real brothers. Otherwise, He Yangli would not have followed him at the risk of annihilation. Together with him, he was sent to the Western Regions by King Youxian. Back then, He Yangli was a famous hero on the grasslands. He would smile and overcome anything he faced, but now He Yangli is no longer the heroic young man he was back then. Instead, he is a timid coward.

He Yangli seemed to see the doubt in Abatu's eyes and whispered

"My youngest son and eldest son are both sick. The witch doctors of the entire tribe can't cure them. Even the witch doctors of those countries in the Western Regions can't cure them. Hei Qin is my only hope. I won't hold you back. The tribe came to bet with me, and I will let the Heyang tribe do this big mess."

Abatu looked at He Yangli who was stunned on the spot. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He Yangli's two sons were the lifeblood of He Yangli. This was something he knew, not just because He Yangli only had these two sons. Children, especially because these two children are the children of He Yangli's favorite woman, now Abatu understands why He Yangli must defect to Qin.

He Yanghu led the snare spy into the camp. The snare spy looked at He Yangli and Abatu and asked directly

"Have the two leaders thought about it?"

Looking at the spy who spoke in Xiongnu language, He Yangli was a little surprised but still replied

"I plan to use the [-] men I brought to attack King Youxian's tent and cause chaos in the entire Xiongnu camp."

The snoop was stunned when he heard He Yangli's words, and glanced at He Yangli with suspicion in his eyes.He Yangli watched the snare spy look at him with suspicion, and immediately thought that he thought he was lying.

"Does the messenger not believe me? Send me to mobilize people to capture you and present it to King Youxian now? You can follow me and mobilize soldiers and horses to follow me. If there is a problem, you can kill me directly." He Yangli said.

The snare spy took a deep look at He Yangli and said

"Why would you want to lead people to attack King Youxian's tent and cause chaos?"

"Then what should we do? This is the only way to cause chaos in the entire Xiongnu camp." He Yangli said in a deep voice.

The spy in the net cursed an idiot in his heart. He originally thought that He Yangli chose to cooperate with the Qin State because he was a strategic person, but now it seems that he still thinks highly of He Yangli. 2 people went to attack King Youxian's tent. , let’s not talk about whether the attack can be successful, but your mobilization of 2 people is enough to attract the attention of other tribes around you. I’m afraid you will be captured before you even take action.

"The horses in the entire Xiongnu camp are divided into four areas. As long as you send people to stir up these horses, it will naturally cause chaos in the camp. What's more, it is late at night, and a sudden chaos in the camp is very likely to cause an explosion in the camp, which means you The Huns are talking about madness. If it doesn't work, you send people to light the food and grass in the camp. As long as a fire breaks out, send people to set fires everywhere. These methods are easier than sending people to attack King Youxian's royal tent." The snare spy said helplessly. .

The Luowang spies looked at He Yangli and Abatu, who were a little dull, and suddenly felt that their strategies were unparalleled even among the Huns, but everyone in Luowang knew this method. After all, they had some missions. Quite a few confusing tasks.

Hearing the words of the snare spies, He Yangli and Abatu suddenly woke up and looked at the snare spies with some shame. They really had not thought of these two methods.

"Then what should we do specifically?" He Yangli asked with a blushing face.

The snare spy took a deep breath and said
"You can replace the horse pen closest to you in the name of changing the caretaker. As long as you set a fire in the racecourse to startle the horses, and take advantage of the chaos, send people to other horse pens to set fire, and at the same time send People will burn the grain and grass. In this way, not only will the entire camp fall into chaos, but the light of the burning grain and grass will also be used as a signal to tell the commander that the Huns camp is in chaos."

"Let's do it now. The person stationed at the horse pen tonight happens to be the son of my tribe." Abatu said first.

"Then I will send people to other horse pens and food and grass areas." He Yangli said.

"You must be careful. In addition to these two places, you can also cut off the water source in advance so that they cannot put out the fire."
