The villain system of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty

Hot sunlight shone in from the skylight at the top of the tent, and there were still weak flames in the surrounding pots and furnaces.

The whole big tent was filled with warmth, and in the main seat of the tent, there were two big men sitting side by side, pushing cups and changing cups, and they were in high spirits.

The two wore gorgeous sweaters, beaded leather crowns, and tied up their long, loose hair. Unlike ordinary Huns, these two men were quite majestic in their dress and behavior.

In front of the two of them, on the long table, were placed exquisite wine vessels traded from the Qin State, copper basins and lacquer plates, silver pots and gold cups, filled with preserved cattle and sheep, cheese and pasta.

The two Guli kings of the Xiongnu were from the Xiutu tribe and the Xub clan respectively, and had an honorable status.

"You two still have time to drink here?"

A fat man walked into the big tent, looked at the two Guli kings, and said anxiously.

"What's wrong?" King Zuo Guli of the Xiongnu asked with a hint of drunkenness on his face as he looked at the man coming.

"Prince Qin rode out of the clouds with 20,000 men, how come you still have time to drink here?"

"What's the rush?" King Zuoguli didn't take it seriously when he heard this. He was originally the leader of the Xiutu tribe. After Maodun succeeded to the position of Shanyu, he promoted him to King Zuoguli, with thousands of subordinates. Yu Qi can be said to have strong soldiers and strong horses.

"I admit that in terms of high walls and strong cities, we are not as good as the Qin people. But when it comes to cavalry warfare, when have we Huns ever been afraid of it? Besides, the hundreds of miles from Yunzhong to the north are all ours. And the territory of King Youguli. King Xiutu, why are you so anxious?"

After King Zuo Guli finished speaking, he burst into laughter. The person in front of him was his concubine. Although he was promoted to King Xiutu by Maodun, King Zuoguli still looked down on him in his words, which was full of contempt.

"But he is the Prince of Qin!" King Xiutu was slightly fat, and his face trembled when he became anxious. Among the Xiongnu who favored martial arts, such a state could easily be looked down upon.

"Okay! King Xiutu. The sentry cavalry has reported that Prince Qin's cavalry is still three hundred miles away from here. Even if he flies, he will have to fly for a while." King Youguli said, wanting to end the dispute and continue drinking.

Seeing that the two men could not move, King Xiutu had no choice but to sigh and left the tent.

"I really don't know how Shan Yu fell in love with him and asked him to be the King of Xiutu?"

After his concubine left, King Zuogu Li said scornfully.

The banquet lasted for about an hour, and when it came to an end, the two Guli kings could no longer walk.

"Your Majesty!"

There was an urgent call, and a Hun knight hurriedly walked in.

"What's the matter, are you in such a panic?" King Zuo Guli asked drunkenly, half lying on his chair.

"The Qin Army... The Qin Army attacked our pastoral tent a hundred miles behind us, robbed a large number of our horses and food, and set fire to our sacrificial utensils."

"King Youguli, you see, I am really drunk, and I am hearing hallucinations." King Zuoguli drunkenly waved his hand, as if everything in front of him was a fantasy, and he wanted to wave it away.

"Hahahaha!" A burst of laughter came from the other side.

But after waiting for a long time, the knight in front of them couldn't leave for a long time.

After glaring for a while, the drunkenness on his face dissipated. King Zuo Guli stretched out his hand and asked: "What did you just say? Say it again!"

The Hun knight kneeling below was also helpless and said: "The Qin army attacked our pastoral tent a hundred miles behind us, robbed a large number of our horses and food, and set fire to our camp."

"This is impossible!" King Zuo Guli stood up immediately, his whole body flushed brightly, not sure whether it was because of drunkenness or anger. "Yesterday's Sentinel Cavalry reported that the Qin army was still three hundred miles away. Why did it appear behind us today?" "I don't know," said the Sentinel Cavalry.

"Your Majesty, two thousand Qin cavalry appeared fifty miles to the west of us and attacked the camp of our sentry cavalry."

The guard outside the tent came in and reported.

At this time, King Youguli also woke up from his wine. He shook his head, stood up, stood side by side with King Zuoguli, and said, "It seems that the Qin army has dispersed its forces."

"Prince Qin only has 20,000 cavalry, and yet he dares to disperse his troops on this vast grassland." King Zuogu Li asked angrily, "Tell me, where are the Qin troops who attacked our sentinel cavalry camp now?"

"Retreating to the south."

"Send the order, the eight thousand cavalry in this account must assemble immediately. I want the two thousand Qin cavalry to know how powerful our barbarians are!"

When Zuo Guli and Wang Yongjian spoke, they no longer had the drunkenness they had just now, and were filled with a strong fighting spirit.

King Yougu Li was standing by and said, "I don't know where Prince Qin's main force is yet? I will go back to my tent now to gather troops and horses to help you."

"Thank you!"

……..

"What, defeated?"

In Shanyu's court, when Maodun received the envoy of King Zuoguli, he was preparing for the wedding.

On the white tiger throne, Mao Dun looked at the envoy of King Zuo Guli below with great interest, and said with a smile: "How was it defeated?"

"That day, after King Gu Li received the news that the Qin army was attacking the sentry cavalry camp on the west side of the camp, he led his eight thousand cavalry to pursue him. When King Gu Li chased Qin Qi, it was already dark. Gu Li The king originally wanted to annihilate this Qin cavalry, but after a fierce battle, a large number of Qin troops suddenly came out from both sides of the mountain. King Guli was defeated miserably. He originally wanted to take the rest of his troops and turn around. But the Qin army was cunning. It turned out that he had already ambushed King Gu Li on his way back. Under the surprise attack, King Gu Li resisted to the death and finally fought his way out. Now he has reunited with King Gu Li of the right."

"How many people are left in King Zuo Guli now?" Mao Dun asked, staring at the envoy with cold eyes.

"Less than five thousand."

The messenger looked gloomy, lowered his head and said.

"Let the rest of his troops meet with King Yougu Li, and the Qin army must be driven back. Otherwise, he won't come to see me?" Mao Dun said coldly, with anger on his face.

The messenger was sweating profusely and said, "I will obey the Great Chanyu's order."

After the messenger left, the wolf girl Nuo Min said: "The two kings of Guli have only 20,000 troops in total. Will they be the opponents of Prince Qin?"

At this moment, there were only the old shaman and Nuo Min in the tent. They smiled and said, "So what if I can't resist? Why do you think I sealed the fertile grassland hundreds of miles south of the royal court to the two of them?"

Nuo Min paused and secretly thought that this was the case. These two men were always proud of their large number of subordinates, and sometimes they even ignored Shan Yu's orders. It turned out that Shan Su asked them to resist the Qin army?

"My great Xiongnu has just experienced a great defeat, and it's time to recuperate. There are only 300,000 troops around the royal court, and only 50,000 string-controllers. Donghu is watching eagerly from the side again. At this time, we can't Acting rashly." Mao Dun said, with a hint of helplessness in his words.

"I'm just worried that if King Yougu Li is defeated again, it will further fuel the Qin army's arrogance." Nuo Min said worriedly.

"The Prince of Qin only has 20,000 troops, and now he has marched hundreds of miles. The lone army penetrates deep and cannot last long. In the battle with King Yougu Li, no matter whether he wins or loses, it will be difficult for the Qin army to continue." Mao Dun said As he stood there, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "King Xiutu, where is he now?"

"After King Xiutu broke into King Zuogu Li's tent that day, his persuasion failed, so he took his two thousand troops and moved closer to Shan Yuting."

Nuo Min replied that he didn't understand why Shan Yu suddenly talked about the unremarkable King Xiutu.

"Unlike a reckless man like King Zuo Guli, he is a rare smart person!" Modun said, a hint of admiration flashed across his face.

……..

To the southwest of King Li's tent in Yougu, there is a continuous slope with uneven terrain, making it difficult for cavalry to fight here.

At this moment, three thousand Ghost Prison Youqi led by Ying Ziyi are stationed in this area.

"Your Highness, the troops of King Youguli and King Zuoguli have joined forces. Hu troops from some nearby small tribes have also gathered towards them. It is estimated that the number is close to 30,000 at this moment."

Peng Yue urged his horse to come over and said with his hands.

"Oh?" Ying Ziyi smiled, "So it seems that they are going to have a decisive battle with me?"

"Your Highness, should we strike preemptively!" It can be seen that after several victories in the past few days, Peng Yue has considerable confidence in his cavalry.

"Are you fighting hard?" Ying Ziyi thought for a moment and asked, "Is there still no movement from the Xiongnu Royal Court?"

"General Guan Ying is scouting in the north, and there is no news of Mao Dun taking action yet." Peng Yue replied.

"How cautious!"

Ying Ziyi smiled and said, "The territory south of my royal court is like this, but he, the Chanyu, doesn't make any movement at all. Don't you think it's strange?"

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"This is killing people with a borrowed sword." Ying Ziyi said calmly: "From the information coming from the court of Shanyu, it seems that King Guli of the left and right had already had greater power when Touman was in Touman. After the three surnames of the Xiongnu came to power, The strength of their tribe was even stronger. After the Battle of Henan, the Huns retreated northward. Although Maodun integrated the Huns, several more powerful tribal leaders outside were still hidden dangers. Maodun gave them a king and granted them There is a lot of fertile land, but most of the territory is on the edge of the empire, I’m afraid it’s just for this moment.”

Peng Yue was stunned. He never expected that Mao Dun would be such a difficult character.

"Could it be that the Xiongnu Chan Yu already knew that His Highness was coming north?" Peng Yue asked in surprise.

"Don't forget, there are always people in the empire who are colluding with barbarians."

Ying Ziyi's horse raised its head, snorted, and then became quiet again.

This horse is not a sweaty horse from the Western Regions, but a handsome horse that is rarely seen on the northern grasslands. It has a large head, short neck, thick limbs, and an unattractive appearance. However, it is extremely brave and can crush a wolf with one hoof. Compared with the sweat-blooded horse, although the speed is not comparable, it is better than the endurance.

"So, Mao Dun wants to reap the benefits. Then we..." Peng Yue did not continue, but the meaning was already clear.

Why should we help Maodun solve his own internal troubles?

Ying Ziyi smiled and said: "The purpose of our trip to the north this time is to train a strong brigade that can fight in the northern grasslands and Gobi. Since Mao Dun has sent these people over, why should we refuse?"

"The general understands."

……..

The account of King Yougu Li.

"Two kings, the slopes a hundred miles southwest of the main tent have traces of the Qin army's presence."

"Are they actually there?"

Over the past few days, King Yougu Li has been gathering troops and horses, while sending sentries and cavalry to search for traces of the Qin army, and finally the results were obtained today.

King Youguli stood up and swept the wine vessel on the long table in front of him to the ground with one hand, as if to express the anger that had been pent up these days.

"Bring me the map."

Although the Xiongnu's map is not as detailed as the empire's depiction, at least the mountains and rivers and terrain can still be seen.

The map was spread out on a long table, and all the generals in the tent, including King Zuogu Li, gathered around him.

There was no slope on the map that the sentry rider mentioned, which made King Youguli a little embarrassed. He pointed to the location of his royal tent, then pointed to the southwest, and said: "If the Qin army comes, they will definitely pass through this valley thirty miles away. Our army will gather in front of this mountain and wait for the Qin army. "

"yes!"

After the generals left, only King Guli left in the tent.

"This time I must deal with the Qin army severely and let them know how powerful I am."

King Zuo Guli's eyes flashed with hatred, and the memory of the shame of that night was still fresh in his mind. Now, he said angrily.

King Youguli looked at it and shook his head and said, "Don't you think it's strange?"

"What?" King Zuogu Li asked.

"If we had been despising the Qin Army at the beginning, then after these days of fighting, it has been proven that the Qin Army is not as vulnerable on the grassland as we imagined. But that's it, in Shan Yu's court, Modu still hasn’t sent any reinforcements.”

Hearing this, King Zuo Guli also had a wave of hesitation on his face, and said, "Does Modun want to watch the Qin army fight with us and lose both sides?"

King Yougu Li nodded, his face darkened, and said, "It's very possible."

"I received a secret report that after your army was killed and dispersed by Prince Qin, a large number of people were accepted by Shanyu Wangting. Moreover, it seems that they were well prepared."

For the Hu people, with tribesmen, they can increase the scale of breeding and raise more warriors.

"This bastard actually stabbed you in the back." King Zuo Guli said angrily. "Then what should we do now? Continue to work for that bastard?"

"I have something to say, brother, if what I said is wrong, you can just let it go." King Yougu Li said with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"It's already this time, what else can't be said?" King Zuo Guli waved his right hand and walked down.

"Modun wants to use the hands of the Qin people to get rid of us. Even if we defeat the Qin army this time, is there any guarantee that there won't be a next time?"

"What do you mean?" At this time, King Zuo Guli also heard that there was something wrong in his words and asked in surprise.

"The envoy of King Donghu is in my camp."

"What!"
