The dream of the Great Huns rose and fermented in Maodun's heart.

It reaches the sea in the east, the Tianshan Mountains in the west, the Ice Field in the north, and the Xianyang in the south.

In these four directions, the Huns had achieved two goals. The opponent in the east, the Donghu tribe had completely lost its voice, and the entire tribe was merged under the command of the Right Xianwang of the Huns. The ice field in the north was just some wild primitive tribes that were not as good as the climate, which was worth the effort of the Huns.

Now, the opponent in the west, Yuezhi has basically given up resistance. After the division, the Great Yuezhi moved west to the Western Regions, where there were vast and vast marsh and many wealthy small city-states. For the Huns, the Western Regions were an important place that needed to be conquered in the future.

Of course, before the Western Expedition, Maodun's most hope was to go south to Guanzhong, and Yixue's father, Touman Shanyu, was expelled to the north of the Mobei by the Qin army.

To prove that he is stronger than his father, Maodun must do this, otherwise, no matter how many tribes he defeats, he will not be able to eliminate the doubts within the tribe.

"The Great Shanyu, I just got the news that the Xiaoyue tribe has moved eastward. It is estimated that in three days, it will reach the border area of ​​Qin. I have ordered the warriors of the tribe to chase after him and kill the group of sheep to be killed in one fell swoop." Zuo Xianwang stood up drunk, holding a skull wine vessel in his hand.

Of course, the owner of his head was just a general of the Yuezhi, and the exquisiteness of this wine vessel could not be compared with that of Maodun.

"Zuo Xianwang, your mind is flooded. If you kill these sheep, how can we negotiate with Qin? Quickly order your troops to withdraw!" Mao Dun's face changed and he shouted sternly.

The Yuezhi split.

This is what Maodun wants to see most, a split opponent can no longer be considered an opponent. What makes the great Chanyu even more happy is that the Xiaoyue tribe actually fled to the Qin territory.

This is really a good excuse that is rare in a thousand years. As long as you take the title of chasing Yuezhi to escape the enemy, the Huns' Iron Cavalry can enter the south of the Great Wall without any worries and loot the wealthy Qin people. Then you will return to the grassland with countless wealth--.

Maodun's idea was very clever, but unfortunately, Zuo Xianwang, who did not understand his intention, destroyed his intention. Now Maodun's only hope was that Zuo Xianwang's remedial order could be delivered in time.

Lintao.

It is the second largest city in Longxi County. This Great Wall border town, the westernmost part of the Qin State, suddenly became lively. The arrival of a large number of Qin cavalrymen made the residents of the border town who were used to being deserted. Over the years, they have never seen so many people except the caravans from them.

Lively is not a good thing, but a disaster. Just when the border people were uneasy, Bai Guangji finally appeared outside the city in a dress of a warrior in an alien tribe.

Seeing the black flag of Qin from afar, Bai Guangji couldn't help but feel extremely excited. At the beginning, he received an order from Li Yuan and entered the alien race alone. This loneliness was beyond the reach of others.

When Luo Jia, Wang Shang, Cao Xin and other Qin generals made great achievements on the battlefield, Bai Guangji's name seemed to have been forgotten, and no one would mention it. This general who had followed Li Yuanzheng Zhan early in the morning.

Today, he finally came back.

With a mission and unwashed dust, he returned to his brothers.

Li Yuan welcomed Bai Guangji out of the city gate and personally welcomed Bai Guangji. This was an attitude, not only to give Bai Guangji an explanation, but also to all those who went deep into the enemy's backbone and engaged in intermittent affairs.

The Yuezhi Warriors who accompanied Bai Guangji to Qin did not have any other thoughts about the courtesy that Bai Guangji received in Qin. After a series of defeats, they had completely lost the style that the strong should have. After a few days of hardship and exhaustion, someone could give him a bite of hot food, which was a great gift.

"Qin people, what a good brother!" The simple Yuezhi people looked at the piles of millet and rice cakes in front of them with gratitude. This kind of powder cake grinded with millet and rice is much better than the milk buns they often eat.

In the city, the meeting hall.

Bai Guangji changed his clothes and washed the dirt on his body for many days. When he stood in front of Li Yuan again, the bearded uncle who had just met turned back into a young and handsome young captain.

"Marquis Li, the King of Xiaoyuezhi has decided to move to Qin. Now the brigade of the Xiaoyuezhi tribe is probably in the Jincheng area of ​​Hexi. If everything goes well, we will arrive in Lintao in two days. We must prepare early." Bai Guangji pointed to the newly completed Longxi and Hexi terrain sand tables in front of him and said.

"You have encountered the Huns' pursuers all the way east?" Li Yuan asked, with a thoughtful expression.

"No. In the first few days, the Huns followed. In the last two or three days, no Hun pursuers were found. Could it be that the Huns wanted to wait for an opportunity to invade my Qin Dynasty-!" Bai Guangji said while thinking, and his face became solemn. His long-term scouting experience made his keenness sharper. Li Yuan's reminder suddenly made him sweat.

"There is this possibility, but there is another possibility that the Huns are accumulating strength and preparing to eat the Xiaoyue tribe together. Before foraging for food, the wolves on the grassland followed the prey far away until they summoned enough companions to launch the final attack." Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Ah, what should I do? There are only less than 2,000 soldiers around the Xiao Yuezhi King. With these defeated generals, they will definitely not be able to defeat the Huns?" Bai Guangji was said by Li Yuanyi, and his face turned pale. Although he was just hiding in the Yuezhi tribe in a dark place, after spending many days together, they had endless feelings for each other. Now that he heard that the Yuezhi tribe was in trouble, Bai Guangji suddenly became nervous again.

"Luo Jia, go and order three thousand cavalrymen, and follow the commander Bai to help King Yuezhi! Remember, just pick them up, and don't fight with the enemy." Li Yuan thought for a while, and finally ordered.

"promise!"

Luo Jia and Bai Guangji looked at each other excitedly and hurriedly went on to prepare. The migration of the Xiaoyue tribe had both advantages and disadvantages for the Qin State. Of course, from a general analysis, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Advantageously, the addition of the Yuezhi tribe can increase the power of Qin. These tribes on the grassland are born with horseback nations. As long as they are good at recruiting, they will be an excellent cavalry unit.

The disadvantage is that the relocation of Xiao Yuezhi will inevitably lead to a series of border conflicts. If you are not careful, the war will spread to the hinterland of Guanzhong. Although Li Yuan was already prepared for this, once the war was connected, the national strength that Qin State finally recovered would be greatly damaged.

——.

Li Yuan’s prediction of the current situation in Lintao was very accurate.

The Huns had the idea to encircle and annihilate the Yuezhi people on the bank of the river in one fell swoop. According to Qianchang, the leading Xiongnu Zuoxian King, these cowardly and weak Yuezhi people were not worthy of being captive slaves. The best way to deal with it is to drive down the river and make them a floating corpse on the river.

Bai Guangji did not care about the pain in his buttocks, and rushed to transfer to a war horse with a soft saddle in the Luojia cavalry. He ran westward with the three thousand Qin cavalry with Luojia.

Although the Xiaoyuezhi tribe lost nearly 5,000 tribe warriors in the Battle of Gaitang, compared with the Big Yuezhi, which suffered greater losses, the Xiaoyuezhi tribe's vitality is still there. As long as a few years are given, when the teenagers in the tribe grow up, the nation on this grassland will have another day of revival.

If the Huns were surrounded in Hexi, all the efforts and plans of the Xiaoyuezhi people would be ruined. Similarly, the Qin people's plan to accommodate the Xiaoyuezhi people was also unable to achieve the goal of strengthening the strength of the cavalry.

The sound of shouting to kill.

As the strong wind in the northwest came, it was particularly harsh in Bai Guangji's ears.

"Hurry, hurry!" The agile war horse was hit by continuous kicks, neighing for a long time, raised its four hooves and ran towards the direction where the shouts of killing were heard.

On the 24th day of the 9th lunar month of the Qin New Calendar, it is dusk.

After several days of trekking, the Xiaoyuezhi people finally arrived at the bank of the river that nourished the grassland and Central Plains civilization. Many Yuezhi people shed tears of excitement. Although this surging river was called the Yellow River in later generations, it was a clear and vital river of mothers in Qin.

The ancestors of the Yuezhi people also grazed on the edge of this big river, but later they slowly began to migrate to the Hexi area. Now, they finally returned and returned to the place where their ancestors lived.

However, just as the Xiaoyuezhi people excitedly picked up the river and drank it and washed it, the Hun cavalry that had been following him appeared.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Yuezhi people completely relaxed their vigilance!" Qianchang, the Xiongnu who was responsible for chasing, sneered, and his eyes showed cruel murderous intent.

After contact and meeting, the Hun cavalry chasing totaled more than 1,500 cavalry. Although the number was not large, they were all grassland warriors who were good at fighting. Now they had to deal with a group of Yuezhi soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit and protected women, children, elderly and weak. It was not easy to capture.

"kill!"

The sound of horse hooves accompanied by the Huns' unique shouts of killing from afar to a near, and soon caused a chaos on the river beach. The Yuezhi people who were afraid of being killed were running around like headless flies, but they had no idea which direction to escape.

The knife light splashed.

After a blood mist, the Xiongnu Qianchang, who was leading the charge, had already carried the head of the Yue clan for a while. However, after taking a look at it disdainfully, he threw it far away to the ground.

"A despicable wine utensil-!" Qianchang spat in dissatisfaction, looking for the next valuable wine utensil.

Beside him, the Huns cavalry, riding one after another, shouted and rushed into the panicked Yuezhi fleeing crowd. A proud and powerful Hun man possessed and plundered the young women who could not escape, carried them in his hands, and then pressed them down on the horse's back. Compared with the males who could only be slaves and wine vessels, women, especially those who could give birth to them, were also the most popular spoils of the Huns.
