Chapter 110 The First Warrior of the Huns

Li Qin looked at Qiu Sheng, with a look of surprise in his eyes, as if he couldn't believe how Qiu Sheng had such an idea; but Qiu Sheng was also looking at Li Qin with the same gaze, and he couldn't believe how Li Qin had such an idea. He even surrounded Wei to save Zhao, do you know how this allusion came about?

Jia Xu walked over from a distance at this time. Like Li Qin, his eyes were red and he couldn't sleep well. His physical strength was overdrawn. In addition, the heavy casualties of the horn-punching soldiers were almost unable to stand it.

Walking under the earthen wall, Jia Xu slowly climbed up, and said to Li Qin with a hoarse voice: "Aqin, the number of casualties has been counted. A total of 67 brothers were killed. Four of them were too serious and were not rescued. They died last night and were seriously injured eleven. Although their lives were saved, they were all disabled. The rest were slightly injured. However, there were thirty-five people who could not go into battle within ten days, totaling 113. The Hun soldiers charged twice and crippled our army. If they fought again, they would probably not be able to hold on."

Li Qin was silent for a long time before saying, "Take 450 soldiers out, and the number of troops was reduced by a half. How can I explain this to the villagers when I fight this battle!"

Jia Xu didn't speak for a long time. It took him a long time to raise his head, glance at Li Qin, and then glance at Qiu Sheng. His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but due to his affection, he didn't say it in front of Qiu Sheng.

Seeing Jia Xu's expression, Qiu Sheng's heart suddenly became hung up. He already knew that Jia Xu was Li Qin's brother-in-law and the military chief of Fujiao Army. In the officialdom, other things can be eased, but interpersonal relationships must be understood immediately, otherwise there will be great inconvenience. He knew Jia Xu's identity, and he also knew how much Jia Xu had in Li Qin's heart. The hardest relationship was nothing more than nepotism. If Jia Xu said something unfavorable to Lian County, how could he bear it!

Instead of letting others say it behind your back, it would be better for him to ask it in person, as this would make it impossible for others to say something that was not good for him. Qiu Sheng asked: "Li Lang, Jia Juncheng, aren't you trying to withdraw your troops and return to Fuping?"

Jia Xu's lips moved again, but he didn't say anything. He looked at Li Qin. Li Qin frowned, but said, "The greatest victory is right in front of him. How can I withdraw my troops? Then my brothers will die in vain!"

Qiu Sheng then put down his snacks a little, but he was still very worried and asked, "But the plan to surround Wei and save Zhao is not working. How can he defeat Liu Jiu's Hun soldiers?"

Jia Xu said, "Ambing Wei to save Zhao? Is this the plan we proposed last time?" They mentioned this plan last time, but they just said it casually and didn't take it seriously. This time, he remembered this incident when he heard Qiu Sheng mention it again.

Li Qin nodded and said, "Yes, it's just surround Wei to save Zhao. I plan to do this. Listen to it, is this strategy feasible?" He expressed his thoughts.

In the late Han Dynasty, there was neither a shortage of military generals nor a planner, and there were even many very powerful planners. They were not from the three groups of Cao, Liu and Sun, so they did not even have names left in history. Li Qin's plan to surround Wei and save Zhao was not a clever one. To be precise, it was a risky plan and could only be considered a worst-case scenario. However, under the current situation of war, this worst-case scenario is very marketable.

After hearing this, Jia Xu and Qiu Sheng both started to oh at the same time. Jia Xu said, "It's a bit dangerous, but you can try it. As long as you make careful arrangements in all aspects, this plan may not work."

Qiu Sheng nodded, but he thought more and said, "The people who have withdrawn can only go east along the Lian River. But if so many people retreat, I am afraid that the Huns will not be able to travel a hundred miles. What if they are caught up?"

Li Qin shook his head and said, "Baili is not close. Even if Liu Jiu sends elite soldiers to provoke, he will not explore the river, let alone protrude a hundred miles along the river. Don't think about whether Liu Jiu will do it. If we were Liu Jiu, would we send scouts to explore a hundred miles along the river? We will definitely not do this, so Liu Jiu will not do it either!"

Qiu Sheng nodded and said, "But the matter can only be handled by the lower officials themselves, so they can't fight side by side with Li Lang and can't support you!"

"As long as Lord Qiu can keep the people safe and avoid the harm of the Huns, it will be my greatest support!" Li Qin said. The three of them squatted down and began to draw maps on the earthen walls, discussing how to use the encirclement of Wei to save Zhao, this huge plan.

The key to this plan to surround Wei and ask Zhao was that Li Qin must defend Lian County so that Liu Jiu could have doubts that Li Qin was delaying time. As long as he had such doubts, something else would be easier.

The soldiers of Lian County led by Zhang Jun should be proficient in riding skills, and to Bingzhou, "transmit military information" on a large scale, and even throw away some emergency military information, deliberately let Liu Jiu get it, making Liu Jiu think that the main force of the Han army was rushing to his grassland nest. In this way, Liu Jiu would withdraw his troops for the safety of his nest!

But this strategy has huge risks, that is, will Liu Jiu go crazy before retreating and insist on conquering Lian County? This is very possible! So Li Qin asked Qiu Sheng to take the people to evacuate. If he took the land route, the women and children would not walk fast, and the other hand, it would be easy to be discovered by the Hun soldiers. Therefore, it is best to take the water route. Lian County is by the river, and the boat is enough. The people hide on the boat and go down the river, and they can be further away from the county.

Li Qin led the Fujiao Army to resist Liu Jiu's army and defend the earth wall at this time, it would be unrealistic. No matter how well the position was built, if he encountered tens of thousands of Huns, hundreds of people could not defend it. He could only go to defend the city instead of fighting to win, but delaying time to win. Liu Jiu's army was very likely to enter the city, so Li Qin and Fujiao Army could all be killed!

The chance of success of this plan is very high, but whether Li Qin can see the final victory alive is a matter of two things. It is extremely dangerous for himself and Fujiao Army!

The three of them sorted out all aspects of the plan. Qiu Sheng sighed and said, "Li Lang, we didn't know each other before and had no friendship. But you have to bear such a huge danger when you come to help this time. How can I repay me, Qiu and the people of the whole city in the future?"

Li Qin also sighed, he stood up and said, "Although I have not yet become the captain of this county, I cannot shirk the responsibility of defending the territory. All this is for the people, for the people!"

Qiu Sheng also stood up. He looked at Li Qin's side. After a long time, he said softly: "Li Lang, the most righteous!"

The plan to surround Wei and save Zhao was quickly implemented, leaving only hundreds of strong men to help defend the city and build fortifications. The rest of the people left. The elderly, weak, women and children boarded the boat, and their property had to be abandoned. At the time of disaster, although the family was destroyed, it was a blessing in disgrace. No one would complain. Before boarding the boat, the people thanked Li Qin and called Li Lang the most righteous!

The prairie in the direction of Bingzhou.

Liu Jiu, who was less than forty years old, stood in a large cart, pulled by more than twenty cows. It was a building cart. There were not only tents on the cart, but also a tall wooden building, which he used to command the army. The Hun soldiers could see his big flag one mile away, clearing all obstacles on the road ahead for him!

Liu Jiu is burly. In terms of figure alone, he is not inferior to Dian Wei, and is even thicker than Dian Wei. His face has yellow beards, his eyes are slightly yellow, his mouth is very large, and his nose is very high. In terms of appearance, he has almost no similarity with his younger brother, especially compared with Liu Shiyi, he does not look like a brother at all.

Liu Jiu was not wearing armor, but a very ordinary leather robe and a shabby leather hat. He was not as luxurious as the Huns should have. Instead, he looked like a poor herder. If he walked alone on the grassland, no one would think he was a strong contender for the Huns' Khan, but he would only think that he was a pauper who could not even eat!

But it was just such a person. Liu Jiu stood on the car on the building. When the Hun soldiers around him looked at him, their eyes were full of awe. He believed that only such a leader could lead them to victory, defeat all the enemies, steal all the enemy's cattle and sheep, occupy the enemy's pastures, possess the enemy's wife and daughter, the king of the Nine Tents, and he was different from other Hun kings!

Different from others, it is not only very important to the heroes of the Han area, but also to the Huns. If a leader follows the big ones, and others do whatever they want, why should the herdsmen follow him? It’s the same to follow everyone, why bother to follow Liu Jiu?

Liu Jiu had a very high status among the Huns. Some people didn’t know who the Shanyu was, but none didn’t know who Liu Jiu was. Because Liu Jiu’s name was resounding throughout the grassland, he was the number one warrior of the Huns!

Liu Jiu's tribe and territory were completely defeated by him. His tribe was called the Nine Treasures. That is because when he inherited the tribe, the originally prosperous tribe had only nine tents left. Without other tribes to annex, the tribe itself was almost gone. However, with the scimitar and bow and arrow, Liu Jiu defeated the tribe several times larger than him, and in turn annexed it and then annexed it. After more than ten years of war, the Nine Treasures had more than 100,000 herders, which was the largest part of the grassland. The Hun soldiers who could fight had reached 30,000, and were known as 200,000 to the outside world, which shocked the grassland!

On the cart, Liu Jiu turned around, looked at the servants in the distance, and shouted: "Let them hurry up. When we capture Beidi County, I will ask them to set up tents in the Han area and tell them that good days will come!"

The Hun soldiers agreed loudly, rushed to the back team, shouted loudly at the servants, and ordered them to speed up the march.

Before Liu Jiu attacked Beidi County, he had just wiped out several Wuhuan tribes outside Bingzhou, and swept up a large number of Wuhuan soldiers and herdsmen. He planned to leave these servant tribes after robbing Beidi County, guarding Beidi County for him, and attracting the troops of the Han court, so that his grassland territory would not be threatened and could free up his troops to steal other places!
