Chapter 72: Longcheng is here!

What a beautiful thing? Zhou Yang was so happy that Gongsun He roared with excitement, and Li Guang fell off the horse's back in shock. Everyone looked at the three people who were so happy that they were unspeakable, and golden question marks floated up one by one.

Zhou Yang, Gongsun He, Li Guang, who has experienced countless storms and waves and won many battles. What else can shock the three of them so much?

Not to mention anything else, Li Guang, who had a bravery throughout his life, had very few courages in the world, could compare with him. There were not many things that could shock him, and there were only a handful of things that could shake him off from the horse's back.

Even the Great Wall Battle did not shock Li Guang so much! In that battle, the 500,000 Xiongnu army was destroyed, blood flowed into a river, and corpses piled up like mountains.

"Master, what's the matter?" Cheng Bushi asked on behalf of the generals, with a look of expectation on his face.

"What else can I do?" Li Guang grabbed the conversation and shouted loudly: "The Shanyu is going to sacrifice to Maodun in Longcheng, and the time is the day after tomorrow."

"What's so strange about this?" Cheng Buzhi's huge head kept shaking, his face silence: "Every time the Huns send troops, they will sacrifice to their bullshit Maodun old thief."

Maodun Shanyu was the greatest Shanyu in the history of the Huns. The most proud things he had ever done in his life were the two things that surrounded Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang and his suicide note of Empress Lu.

In the eyes of the Huns, these two things were supreme pleasures. When the Huns mentioned them, they would talk about them with relish. However, these two things made the Han people feel hated, humiliated, and angry.

Since Pangu opened up the world, which Chinese emperor has experienced such a strange danger? Which emperor and empress have been teased like this? Who can not be angry? Who will forget it easily?

The Han people hated Maodun the most. Therefore, when Cheng Bushi mentioned Maodun, he always derogated and made him worthless.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Bushi opened his mouth round, his eyes widened, and he could no longer speak, and his throat made a "cuckoo" sound to express his shock!

In just a moment, Wei Qing and the others figured out the tricks, all of which were shocked, surprised, and unbelievable. Such a good thing actually happened to them.

"God blesses the great man!"

Suddenly, the generals in extreme shock cheered in unison, shaking their fists hard, and were filled with excitement. Many people were even shaking. If they hadn't grasped the horse's mane, they would have followed Li Guang's footsteps and fell off the horse's back.

We can't blame them, it's really a great thing. The military minister Shanyu sacrificed Maodun Shanyu, which was the etiquette of the Huns, and it was nothing wrong. The problem was that the time he chose might be a coincidence or a will of heaven, and it happened to be the day when the Han army arrived in Longcheng.

It is conceivable that when the Han army arrived in Longcheng, the Huns were sacrificing Maodun Shanyu and were completely unprepared. Isn’t this a God-given opportunity?

"Do you know?" Just as everyone was surprised, Li Guang raised his throat and screamed: "This is a God-given opportunity! God-given opportunity!"

"It's indeed a God-given opportunity! It's the best opportunity we have encountered over the years!" Zhou Yang was also unbearable to be happy. He patted his forehead and joked happily: "I heard that the cakes will fall from heaven. I thought it was fake, but I didn't expect it to be real. This time, it was not only the cakes that fell from heaven, but also the kind that fell into my mouth!"

"hehe!"

The laughter of the generals rang out, this was their answer, and there was infinite joy.

"I was originally a little worried that the Huns were scattered in hundreds of miles in a radius. Although there were quite a few troops of 250,000, it was unlikely to put them all in." Zhou Yang was extremely happy and said more and more, with a smile on his face: "Don't doubt, when we rushed to Longcheng and suddenly launched an attack, there will inevitably be many Huns herders who drove us away and fled towards Longcheng. The Huns will suffer countless casualties. However, there are also many Huns who escaped, at least 300,000 or 500,000 is not a problem. Although the 300,000 and 500,000,000, although the 300,000,000,000,000,000, but the 300,000,000,000,000, but the 300,000,000,000,000, but the 300,000,000,000,000, but the 300,000,000,000,000, but they left seeds for the recovery of the Huns, and the consequences are still serious."

Zhou Yang said it rightly. The Xiongnu herders were scattered within a radius of hundreds of miles. It was impossible for the 250,000 Han army to wipe out two million Huns. The reason was nothing else, but the Xiongnu herders were scattered, and the 250,000 Han army could not surround them all, and there would inevitably be a large number of Xiongnu herders escaped.

Escape from 300,000 to 500,000 will not be a problem. Once you escape from such a Hun, it is tantao to leave seeds for the Huns. The consequences are very serious. Maybe the situation after the two Hetao wars will reappear, and the Huns will be defeated but will not be defeated and will resurrect again.

Therefore, if the Huns do not revive, they need to wipe out the nearly two million Huns concentrated near Longcheng. In this way, the Huns' mouths have been reduced sharply and the possibility of recovery is not high, and the Han Dynasty can achieve a complete victory.

The day after tomorrow, the military minister Shanyu wanted to sacrifice to Maodun Shanyu, and the Huns had to rush to Longcheng. The greatest convenience for the Han army was not that the Han army suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Huns, but that the place where the Han army was to surround him suddenly shrank, from hundreds to dozens of miles.

It is impossible for 250,000 Han troops to surround hundreds of miles of radius, but it is absolutely not a problem to surround dozens of miles of radius. Nearly two million Huns surrounded the Han troops in the middle, and it will inevitably be disastrous afterwards!

The prospect is really wonderful and tempting, far exceeding Zhou Yang's expectations. How could Zhou Yang not be happy?

It can be imagined that if nearly two million Huns surrounded the Han army, they would inevitably be panicked and trampled on each other, and countless casualties would be killed or injured. How shocking it would be!

Don’t talk about beating, just thinking about it will make people excited and make people feel excited!

"We were going to herd the Huns like cattle and sheep and drive them to Longcheng, but unexpectedly, they were seeking death by themselves and went to Longcheng by themselves. Do they think they had a long life?" Cheng Bushi's bright eyes were full of beautiful stars, and his face was full of bright moon.

"This is the Xiongnu!" Wei Qing pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and said in a deep voice.

"Yes! Heaven dislikes the Huns!" Everyone agreed in unison to this statement.

Zhou Yang did not believe in any affairs of the law of heaven, but in this way, he had to agree with Wei Qing's statement and nodded constantly.

"A mistake by General Gongsun actually led to such a good opportunity. General Gongsun, you made great contributions!" Zhou Yang sighed deeply. The original crisis actually became a good opportunity.

"Master, the last general dare not take credit for his merits! The last general misses, but does not cause disaster, and the last general is already grateful." Gongsun He said loudly. For him, as long as he did not cause too much loss, he would be grateful, and he would not dare to take credit for his merits.

"This is the case on the battlefield, with many changes, no one can tell." Zhou Yang was still deeply moved.

"This is all the commander's plan. Otherwise, there would be no such good things." Li Guang praised it first.

At that time, the generals were desperate and thought that things could not be done. Unexpectedly, they pushed Zhou Yang's wonderful hands, not only stabilized the military minister Shanyu, but also had such a beautiful thing, which was all Zhou Yang's contribution. If it weren't for Zhou Yang, the Han army would have been on the way back to the Han territory, so how could there be such a good opportunity?

"Yes! Yes!" The generals nodded and agreed.

"Master General, how can we fight this battle?" Li Guang was very anxious and couldn't help rubbing his hands. Looking at his appearance, he wanted to kill to Longcheng immediately.

His words were exactly what the generals thought, all of whom looked at Zhou Yang and waited for Zhou Yang's answer.

"I originally thought that before I arrived at Longcheng, you would divide the troops. You will lead the army to the east and west directions. Before the Huns noticed it, they would suddenly launch an attack and catch the Huns off guard." Zhou Yang's face was solemn and he said in contemplation: "Now, the situation has changed, there is no need to divide the troops. I have estimated that the Shanyu would sacrifice Maodun the day after tomorrow. We can still rest for half a night to accumulate energy. Then, while the Huns were performing sacrifices, the whole army attacked and beat him up with blood and corpses piled up like mountains!"

"Long live the great man!"

The military minister Shanyu was stinking and digging his own grave. Once the Han army launched an attack, it would inevitably lead to blood flowing into a river and corpses piled up like mountains! After this battle, the Huns would be in a slump and it would be difficult to restore their old views.

In the thousands of years of war, the Huns were defeated by China a lot. The two battles of Hetao and the Great Wall defeat several years ago caused heavy losses to the Huns and the cattle and sheep. However, the Huns were centipede insects, but they were defeated but failed and soon recovered.

It can be expected that the day after tomorrow the Huns will definitely give the Huns no chance to recover. In other words, in the thousand-year-long war with the Huns, China achieved a decisive victory!

How exciting and so joyful this is, Li Guang and the others widened their eyes, pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife, and shouted in unison. For a moment, the battle roared into the sky, shaking the earth and resounding throughout the sky, and it was hard to stop after a long time.

After a long time, the soldiers' excitement was slightly relieved, and the sound of the battle horns gradually calmed down.

"Master, you haven't told us yet why we falsely reported the 400,000 army to Shanyu?" Cheng Buzhi touched his hot face and asked Zhou Yang for advice.

On that day, when Zhou Yang was about to confuse Junchen Shanyu, everyone knew that this false information must have been hidden from Junchen Shanyu. However, Zhou Yang still did this, and Wei Qing kept saying it. However, everyone couldn't figure it out and wanted to ask something clearly, but Zhou Yang didn't say it, and they could only keep it in their hearts.

Now, missing out has become a good opportunity, and they need to understand this problem even more. They all opened their eyes wide and looked at Zhou Yang, focusing on themselves, for fear of missing a small detail.

"There is no other intention, but it just makes the Shanyu believe that there are 100,000 Han troops heading towards Longcheng!" Zhou Yang smiled and said his intention.

"Why should we make the Shanyu believe it was a 100,000 Han army?" Zhang Tong couldn't figure it out and asked immediately.

"Only in this way can we hide it from the Shanyu!" Zhou Yang waved his hand to stop the generals from asking questions and relieve their doubts: "If you get the news, you will definitely be skeptical. Even if you want to believe it, you will have to think about it. Regardless of whether the Shanyu believes or not, our whereabouts have been exposed. More than 100,000 Xiongnu herders were attacked and killed without leaving any one. Can Shanyu not send people to inquire? Even if our scouts can kill the spies of the Xiongnu, if the Shanyu sent a large number of scouts, it would be difficult for us to kill them all. In this way, our whereabouts will be exposed."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly and said, "Once the Shanyu knew that 250,000 troops were coming to Longcheng, the Shanyu would definitely ignore Longcheng and lead his army to flee and fight with us."

Junchen Shanyu didn't take the 100,000 Han troops seriously. If it was 250,000, he would have to think about it carefully. You should know that in the battle of Donghu, the Han army wiped out Hou Chaner's 200,000 elite troops with 100,000. The combat power was very amazing.

If Junchen Shanyu wanted to annihilate Hou Chaner's 200,000 army, he would have to dispatch at least 300,000 or even 400,000 troops to achieve this. Based on this calculation, the combat power of the Han army is three or four times that of the Huns. If the 250,000 elite Han army comes and fights head-on, Junchen Shanyu would have to dispatch more than 700,000 troops, and at most one million troops. In a word, his 600,000 army is not the opponent of the Han army.

In such a situation, the military minister Shanyu must have led his army to flee far away and fought with the Han army, which is what Zhou Yang fears the most.

"If Shanyu believed it was a 100,000 army, it would be easy. He would not take us seriously, nor would he escape far away." Zhou Yang continued to explain, saying, "Don't talk about Shanyu, even me, I would not dare to lead a 100,000 army to Longcheng and fight against the 600,000 Xiongnu army, because our chances of victory are not high."

After a few words, the generals nodded.

Li Guang looked serious and said, "What the General said is that with a hundred thousand army of troops fighting nearly two million Huns in Longcheng, our chances of winning are less than 100%. You must know that the Huns have grown up on horseback since childhood and can live their lives on horseback. No matter men, women, young and old, they can shoot bows and arrows. Although the combat power of the Huns' herders is not as strong as the Huns' army, a good tiger cannot hold up a group of wolves. If we can fight, we will definitely lose with two million enemies with 100,000."

This was definitely a pertinent statement, and the generals nodded in agreement.

"As for the commander to make the Shanyu believe that we are 100,000, it is just to prepare for the back-up. Although 100,000 and 400,000 are both fake, if the Shanyu doesn't know, he will believe 100,000." Wei Qing took the conversation and explained to the generals on behalf of Zhou Yang: "If the Han Dynasty wants to send 400,000 troops to Longcheng, it is impossible. As for the current situation, there is not enough war horses. If we fight according to the previous method, then we must send nearly one million civilians to shake the world. Such a big movement will not be unknown."

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"

After Wei Qing's explanation, the generals suddenly realized that 100,000 and 400,000 are fake numbers, but 100,000 is closer to the truth, and the military minister Shanyu must believe it.

"As soon as Shanyu believes in the number of 100,000, he will think, where will the 100,000 army enter the desert?" Wei Qing continued: "In the desert, the land of Hetao, Longcheng, Shanyu royal court, and Langjuxu Mountain, which is worthy of the Han Dynasty's large-scale attack, is also the land of Hetao. Langjuxu Mountain is too far away to be attacked. Today, Longcheng is also the royal court of Shanyu. There are 600,000 Huns here, and it is impossible to go to a 100,000 people. Then, there is only the land of Hetao..."

"So, the Grand Marshal put on the stance of attacking the Hetao area to confuse the Shanyu!" Li Guang smiled and held his beard, and was very happy: "The Grand Marshal used a plan, and it was indeed amazing!"

After admiring, Li Guang changed his mind and asked: "The importance of the Hetao land is self-evident. Why did the Grand Marshal decide that Shanyu would ignore it?"

“This is obvious!”

It was Wei Qing who explained to the generals: "Hetao is very important, but it cannot be compared with the northern region. Although the northern region is bitter and cold, it is a barrier to the Central Plains. Once the Shanyu takes over the northern region, the Central Plains will be exposed, and the Shanyu can lead a large army to traverse the Central Plains. Flying General, if you are the Shanyu, will you still pay attention to the Hetao territory?"

"This..." Li Guang was speechless for a moment, then burst into laughter, his thumbs up to the sky.

Not only did Li Guang praise him, but Cheng Buzhi and his generals were all amazed.

"The Xiongnu's detailed work has long been found for us. Along the way, we would convey to the Shanyu some news that the Han army was going to attack the Hetao area from time to time. If this happens, everything will come naturally. If the Shanyu doesn't believe it, he will believe it." Zhou Yang finally smiled and said, "As for why we went to Longcheng first, Shanyu would definitely think that this is a trick of soldiers, and the way of using troops in reality."

Attacking the target will only allow the enemy to know in the last quarter of an hour. When the enemy knows, the situation is often lost. The military minister Shanyu, who is deeply aware of the military, believes in this principle.

In order to inspire the morale of the army, Zhou Yang asked the generals to pass on the story of the Shanyu sacrificing Maodun Shanyu in Longcheng. However, Zhou Yang's statement was even more passionate: to arrive in Longcheng, destroy the Shanyu's sacrifices, and prevent Maodun from peace!

Regarding Maodun, the Han people were so angry that their teeth were itchy and destroyed the sacrifices they gave him. Who was not happy? The soldiers were excited and energetic. They used two points of strength to rush towards Longcheng.

The next day, Nie Yi rushed back and reported a more exciting news to Zhou Yang, that is, the Huns herders rushed to Longcheng continuously, reaching an infinite number of nearly two million. Previously, although many Huns herders went south and became sword ghosts of the Han army, they walked more and came more, so the Huns in Longcheng not only did not decrease, but instead had more.

The more Huns, the better. The more deaths they die, the greater the loss of their strength and the more thorough the victory, which encouraged the soldiers.

Under Zhou Yang's leadership, the Han army continued to march. Before dark, Zhou Yang looked up at the sky, and there was a haze and snowflakes flying.

"Get it!"

The sound of hurried hooves sounded, and Zhao Ponu rushed over from a distance and shouted: "Master, Da Zheng, Longcheng has arrived! Longcheng has arrived!"

His voice was sharp and high, extremely harsh, even more sharp than the eunuch's voice, but it contained infinite joy. Zhao Ponu was not only happy, but also excited. Tears rolled around in his bright eyes and his body kept trembling. That was caused by excessive excitement!

"Long City has arrived?" Zhou Yang's eyes shone brightly, as bright as the scorching sun above the nine heavens!

My body trembled and was so excited that I grabbed the reins with both hands, so I didn't fall off the horse's back.

"Longcheng has arrived!Longcheng has arrived!"

Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing, Zhang Tong, Feng Jing, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Qin Yi, Qin Wuhui, Ding Jun, Nie Yi, all of them were so excited that they clenched their fists with tears in their eyes.

"Woooooo!"
Chapter completed!
