Along the way, they only encountered Han herdsmen who ran into them and fled in panic. The grazing cattle and sheep became the meal of the Xiongnu army.  ¡÷¨J Halfway through, the Huns realized that something was not right. The sun was rising high and the plain was very quiet. There were only herds of cattle and sheep abandoned by Han herdsmen.  "Come here, tell me!" Shan Yu, the military minister, said: "You told me that the Han army does not appear around here, but why I didn't even meet a single soldier from the county." "I don't know, why don't I catch a few tongues?"  Asking about the situation? " King Zuo Xian waved his hand and hundreds of royal cavalry rushed out like a gust of wind. The scattered royal cavalry rushed in all directions, but disappeared in a moment.  The Xiongnu army did not stop, and still made a circuitous route southward according to the original plan, but the marching speed was not as fast as originally, and the Huns were also wondering about the reaction of the Han army.  It stands to reason that the Han army should have responded early and hastily changed its direction to intercept with all its strength. Then the military minister Shanyu could use his plan to have a decisive battle and annihilate the main force of 300,000 Han army in one go. The main enemy of Han Dynasty would completely disappear.  From then on, the Han Dynasty became a pasture for the Huns.  But after waiting for a while, no one appeared. With the rich experience accumulated in many years of war, the military minister Shanyu smelled a hint of danger. He was not yet sure whether there was a huge danger ahead, and it might be a great victory.  More likely, it was a terrible trap so that the Huns could mock the Han for their poor riding and archery skills.  You can show off the superior combat power of the royal cavalry, but the Huns will never say that the Han people are stupid.  Comparing the wisdom of the Huns and the Han people is simply a matter of skill.  The 300,000 Han army gathered about half of the main force of the Western Han Dynasty. It is difficult for the reserves to form combat effectiveness in the short term, but it is still unknown whether they can defeat the Han army as expected. The little king of the Xiongnu can be optimistic, but the military officials Shan Yu and King Zuo Xian are not.  Get up.  Wei Youqu suffered a lot from following the team. He did not enjoy the high-standard treatment that Xiao expected. The Huns gave him a horse, a clumsy Huns slave who did not understand the language, and a donkey for the slave's mount.  He was allowed to advance slowly with the main force of the Xiongnu Chanyu.  Faced with a lot of contempt and difficulties, Wei Youqu gritted his teeth and persevered.  The path he chose is his own, and he has to bear it no matter how hard or tiring it is.  "No! The plain is too quiet!" Wei Youqu looked around and screamed: "I want to see the Great Chanyu, please let me go see the Great Chanyu!" The Hun warrior hit him on the shoulder with a wave of his arm.  , Wei Youqu lost his balance and almost fell off the horse. Fortunately, the horse was not fast and his pace was steady. When he noticed Wei Youqu's body shaking, he slowed down and moved forward slowly. Wei Youqu was shocked and angry: "Why are you pushing me?"  "Me!" "Shut up, you bastard! The Great Chanyu has forbidden you to make loud noises during the march. If you shout again, I will cut off your tongue." Wei Youqu's face turned green with fear.  He had never seen a rude person. He had received specialized education from Prince Wei of Korea since he was a child. Not only was he proficient in Han rituals and gorgeous Han costumes, but his knowledge system also came from the Han Empire.  He only liked the Huns because of young people's blind worship of force. But when he got close to the great Huns empire that he once worshiped, what he saw was shockingly rough and ugly.  Although his short few months in the Han Empire were not particularly pleasant.  But at least you will be treated with due respect wherever you go. When you come to the Xiongnu grassland, everything becomes different.  Barbarian tribes such as the Xiongnu only hunt and plunder, and it is most common to show their bravery by raising bows, arrows and swords.  They are utter savages.  "Damn Hun madman." Wei Youqu cursed through gritted teeth. His shoulder was still sore and weak even after being hit. Children of nobles like him were usually not treated well in the Xiongnu. Even the noble children of the Xiongnu themselves were treated in the same way.  The rude Huns did not think that the complicated etiquette was of much use. They held their chests and bowed, which was equivalent to the formal Han family's head-offering ceremony.  Zhao She looked into the distance quietly, his eyes sweeping across the silent plain, and saw several royal cavalry teams returning quickly. Their confusion and doubts about finding nothing were the best answers.  "The pride of the grassland, the Hun king's cavalry found nothing, not even a Han tongue.  "Great Chanyu!" The Bank of China said it sensed something was wrong: "How about we retreat and confront the Han people for a few days, and wait for the tribes in Monan to enter Yamen County before making a decision." "Do you think this is a trap?" "  The old slave thinks that there is a 70% chance that it should be.¡±  "Mr. Zhao, what do you think?" "I also think that there is a high probability that there is something wrong." Zhao She was expressionless, but he was calm. He was not the one who initiated it. The Bank of China said that the old eunuch has been jumping around in recent days.  It was extremely joyful to go. Even the Hun nobles who used to look down on Zhong Bing said that they had to be extra tolerant. The plan to defeat the Han army in a roundabout way had the power of Zhong Bing. Now the Huns were encountering unprecedented troubles. Zhong Bing said that his face was tense and pale.  But you can stand on the sidelines.  The Bank of China said that he hoped he would come out and say a few good words, but Zhao She was so good at interceding for the old eunuch. He rode on the horse calmly with an expression of bowing his head in contemplation. The reward for his initiative had already been given to him.  In his hands, he should bear the blame himself if the credit turns into a fault. No one will be kind enough to take the blame for him.  "Bank of China said! What did you say to me back then? What did you say that the Han army was ambushing us in front of us?" "The old man didn't expect that there was a problem with the identity of the three Han people. The old man thought they were with the Huns.  Having been in business for more than ten years, he should be a decent person, but what I didn't expect is" The military minister Shanyu swung his riding crop and slapped him in the face: "The despicable old dog still dares to quibble without you!  He strongly recommended it behind his back, how could this Chanyu listen to the lies of those three cunning businessmen?" Bank of China said that he was knocked off his horse, covering his face and wailing.  ¡°It¡¯s hard for anyone to be whipped for no reason, but Bank of China said he has no anger or resentment because he knows that he can at least survive if he is whipped.  The military minister Shanyu beat him to show that he didn't intend to kill anyone. If he didn't beat him, he would really be close to death.  King Zuo Xian led his cavalry to guard the flanks.  At this time, they also came on horseback: "Dad Chanyu, the scouts found a group of birds flying around in the forest on the north side for a long time. It is suspected that Han troops are galloping from the valley in the east." The military minister Shanyu Yang looked up.  Looking eastward, I could see the distant green mountains with no end in sight. This place is the edge of the plateau area with mountains and rivers inside and outside, so the rolling mountains are not as towering as imagined. The hills are only a few hundred meters high.  It is neither steep nor precipitous. There is a valley of Pingtan between the mountains, and the river flows in the valley.  The mountains are covered with continuous dense forests, which are also a branch of the Loess Plateau.  At this moment, the Loess Plateau has not yet transformed into a bare earth mountain, and dense vegetation covers the continuous mountainous area. It has been an undeveloped virgin forest area since ancient times. Towering trees can be seen everywhere, and jackals, tigers and leopards have occupied it for a long time.  Looking up the mountain, you can see flocks of gray and white birds flying around. What is strange is that the birds do not scatter around to catch insects and feed, but circle around the mountains.  Shan Yu, a military minister, was furious and said: "Wouldn't it be better if the Han army came to chase us? Order the army to prepare for a fight." "That's not good! The camp in Kou Nei was attacked." "What?" Military minister Shan Yu said  Yu's face changed suddenly.  Half an hour ago, the Han army's raiding force appeared in front of the Xiongnu camp in Kouwai.  The red cavalry slowly stopped outside the Huns.  One hundred thousand cavalrymen put up a large banner with the six characters "Cavalry General Cao Shi" written on it.  The Hun nobles who stayed behind were extremely nervous. Although there were as many as 80,000 troops left behind, all the most elite royal cavalry followed the military minister Shanyu to fight in a roundabout way. The 80,000 cavalry in the camp were not even elite.  Even if the remaining old and weak soldiers were not selected, they would still be inseparable. What's more, there are more than 50,000 noble family members of Shan Yuting in the camp.  "Hurry up and report the news to the Great Chanyu!" The Xiongnu noble company sent more than a dozen horsemen to gallop toward the southwest. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? The deafening sound of war drums was the drumbeat that urged the Huns to go to war.  The sound of war drums also warned the Huns that the war would begin soon.  Don't think that you can survive by holding on to a simple and crude camp.  The Xiongnu nobles stared at the Han army bitterly and cursed secretly: "Han people who bully the weak and fear the strong, just wait! Our Great Chanyu will return to rescue us immediately, and then you will die." The drums of the Han army did not stop.  .  But after a while, a group of black armored cavalry appeared under the Kung Fu banner.  "Black black cavalry!" The faces of the Huns nobles changed drastically.  Zhao Xin¡¯s legs trembled as he hid among the Xiongnu nobles. He was extremely afraid of the ferocious black armored cavalry. What was even more frightening was the appearance of a large black mass of black armored cavalry on the opposite side.  "Crazy! The Han people are part-time lunatics. With more than 10,000 black-armored cavalry, they are just a bunch of lunatics!"  This kind of contradiction makes them make wrong judgments.  Continue to wait and wait for rescue.  The idea of ????the Huns is to drag it on, and sooner or later the Huns army will come back for reinforcements. After all, the main force of the army is not far away.It is roughly estimated that the Han army has more than 100,000 horsemen. Among the more than 80,000 horsemen and 50,000 relatives guarding the camp, half of them can ride horses and draw bows. The strong Xiongnu women can be regarded as warriors when they pick up bows and arrows. If they are full, they can still have 100,000 horses.  "General!" Cao Shi drew his sword and shouted: "Attack the whole army, target the enemy Huns in front!" Suddenly one hundred thousand cavalry rushed out like arrows from their strings, and like the flood filling the sky with shouts of killing, the red iron stream in the  A group of black armored cavalry is the most conspicuous, they are the sharp arrows of the Han army.  At the rear of the battlefield, Tian Fu was stopped in the camp and was running around anxiously: "You bastards, do you know who I am? If you don't let me go to see the general of chariots and cavalry quickly, the emperor ordered the generals of chariots and cavalry to immediately detour back to the Huns."  At the rear of the army, we are implementing the siege strategy of Mayi. How long will you keep me from making trouble?"
