Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 41, Gambling
Soon a news spread throughout Yanmen County that the Hu people had assembled a large number of troops and were preparing to go south, and all places were strictly guarded, so Ziyou and the others naturally heard about it.

"The Hu people are about to go south. They just went south last autumn, but now spring is the season for animal husbandry. It's not normal to go south." Gongsun Bai said.

"Last winter's heavy snow not only had a great impact on the Central Plains, it was also uncomfortable for the Hu people, especially the Donghu people. Last autumn they were blocked from going south and did not plunder enough supplies. That's why this abnormality happened today. southward." Ziyou said.

"Sir, didn't you say you were going to Yanmen Pass to join in the fun?" Xue Nu said.

"Yanmen Gate is guarded by Li Mu, so it's absolutely safe, and now that I have lost all my internal energy, it will add to the chaos." Ziyou said with a helpless sigh.

At this time, the grassland was not the unified Xiongnu Empire, but was divided into Huns and Donghu people. The Xiongnu annexed dozens of tribes, large and small, mainly from the wolf tribe. They were the most powerful tribe in the grassland, while the Donghu people were It refers to the Donghu Alliance, which is headed by the Donghu royal family and the Linhu clan. Although the strength is not as good as the Xiongnu, they can still contend for it. The two are both kings on the grassland. They had to unite to prepare to go south to plunder.

"Who is Mr. Li Mu?" Xue Nu asked.

"Li Mu is a strange man, one of the strongest military strategists in the future." Ziyou said.

"I've also heard of Li Mu's name. This man is indeed capable, but I didn't expect brother Ziyou to have such a high opinion of him." Gongsun Bai was also a little puzzled as to why Ziyou had such a high opinion of Li Mu. As we all know, the Hu people went south many times in these years. Although they won every time, they often didn't get any supplies. Therefore, in his opinion, Li Mu still has some skills, but he can't be one of the strongest military strategists.

"You will know later that this battle will be Li Mu's battle to become famous." Ziyou said with a smile.

"If you brag and don't make a draft, you know that Li Mu will definitely win? The Xiongnu and Hu people have assembled a total of 40 troops, and they are all cavalry. How can Li Mu resist?" Concubine Yan rolled her eyes and said.

"Then how about we take a gamble?" Ziyou said with a smile.

"What's the bet?" Concubine Yan asked.

"Just bet on this battle between Li Mu and the Huns, I will not only resist the Huns and Huns by pressing Li Mu, but also cause them heavy losses, and the losses of Zhao's soldiers are very small." Ziyou said confidently.

"Okay, I agree." Concubine Yan agreed without hesitation. Yanmen County has less than 15 troops to face the 30 cavalry troops of the Huns and Hus. It's amazing, but it's impossible for the Xiongnu to suffer heavy losses.

The Xiongnu and Huren are not fools either. They know their weakness is siege warfare, so they will definitely not waste time and troops on it. The biggest advantage of the cavalry of the Huns and Huren is mobility. Leaving a hole or attacking a weak line of defense is a long drive, and no one can resist it, so Concubine Yan feels that she has won the victory.

"What's the bet?" Gongsun Bai asked.

"If I win, you will undo the etiquette rules and Tian Cheng will let me go."

"Then you lost?" Ziyou asked back.

"If I lose, I will be your maid just like her." Concubine Yan pointed to Xue Nu and said, anyway, she thought she would not lose.

"Okay, Xue Nu go get the paper and pen." Ziyou said with a smile, the paper at this time refers to cloth like silk.

When Ziyou was betting with Concubine Yan, the Xiongnu and Donghu gathered in a huge tent, and all the leaders of the Xiongnu and Hu people were here.

Touman and the largest Donghu and Linhu tribes in the Huren alliance sit on the main seat.

"What is there to wait for? How many times have we fought against that man named Li Mu over the years? Didn't he hide in the city like a tortoise and dare not come out? Even if he came out, he was killed by us. A." A leader of the Hu tribe said.

"Suddenly, we are here to plunder and make up for the wounds we suffered in winter, not to let you go to war." The leader of Donghu said.

"What does Touman Chanyu think about this trip to the south?" said the leader of the Linhu tribe. Compared with the ferocity of the other leaders, the leader of the Linhu tribe is more elegant and has the characteristics of the Central Plains people. .

Touman glanced at Chief Linhu, his eyes were full of contempt. Grassland values ​​blood, and Chief Linhu has some Central Plains blood in his body, which made him look down on this person, but he didn't express it directly, but said
"Ben Dan was invited by you to participate in this trip to the south. Since you said that Li Mu is a turtle with a shrunken head, there is nothing to be afraid of. We can bypass Yanmen Pass and go south from other places. There are no such cities. These weak Central Plains people are the opponents of my prairie warriors, as long as these people from the city rush out to stop them, they can be killed. We can’t attack the city, but in field battles, even the Qin Kingdom dare not fight with my prairie warriors.”

"Tou Manchanyu is right. As long as we tear it apart, the whole Yanmen County will be like a lamb, and we will still slaughter it?" Most of the tribal leaders supported it.

The snow disaster in winter caused them heavy losses, so they couldn't wait to go south to plunder to replenish themselves, but the leader Lin Hu always felt that the timing was wrong and refused to let them do it. If Lin Hu was not one of the three heroes of the grassland, they would have The table was turned over, and now what Touman said directly hit what they thought in their hearts, and it was directly expressed.

"But I think this Li Mu is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Although we have been able to defeat him every time these years, or he simply defends the city and dare not come out to fight us, we have not gained any benefits every time, so I suggest that you must consider it carefully." Chief Lin Hu interrupted the crowd.

"Hmph, when did the sons of our grassland become afraid of this and that like those lambs in the Central Plains? I really don't know how Lin Hu made a man like you a leader. Is there no man in the Lin Hu tribe?" Touman said nothing. Politely mocked.

The guards around the leader of Lin Hu immediately drew out their knives with expressions full of anger, and at the same time the guards around Touman also drew out their knives. Both of them looked at each other with vigilance in their eyes. No difference.

The golden knife warrior of the grassland is the master.

"Enough is enough. The warriors of all races have not arrived yet. I also suggest to wait a little longer. We can't attack until our troops are all assembled. Of course, we can't wait forever. Who wants to take a small group of people to explore first?" Exploring the way?" the leader of Donghu said.

"I," "I," many tribal leaders stood up for a while.

To say that it is to explore the road is actually to take the lead in plundering and exploring the truth. In the eyes of these people, the soldiers on the border of Zhao State have been frightened, and they only dare to watch them come and go freely in the city. So this pathfinding job is a good job, and you can get a lot of benefits, so naturally there are many people vying for it.
