Chapter 836: This Time, He Wants to Give It a Try
Zhang Liang looked at the military report in front of him, and his expression slowly turned from disbelief to ashen.
He did not expect that the Xiongnu, who had only breached the Great Wall of Qin last year and almost occupied the entire northern border of Qin, would reach this point!
Even though he was later defeated in the northern frontier of the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu Maodun Shanyu still escaped with his people.
Although he had a plan to plunder the Huns, the other party led the Huns directly to the deepest part of the grassland, and he had no chance at all.
After that, the Xiongnu went out again to fight against those city-states in the northwest of Qin Dynasty, and they still defeated other people's cities and destroyed their countries.
Even the Great Qin cavalry did not dare to engage in a head-on battle with the opponent, and watched as the opponent robbed countless supplies and people.
According to the previous situation of the Huns, if they rest for more than ten years, they will rise again. This has been the case for hundreds of years.
But now only one winter has passed, and an official military report from Da Qin has been transmitted.
Tell him that the Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun is dead, and the Xiongnu royal court has been divided, and some of them have directly surrendered to the Qin Dynasty.
And he originally wanted to take advantage of the fight between Da Qin and the Xiongnu to secretly develop his own strength.
Just like this time, they received orders to control these small city-states in the west in advance to block the Xiongnu's retreat.
There was a lot of room for manipulation, and he also took the opportunity to control a small city-state.
He arranged for the Yuezhi women and children of the Qiang people whom he had privately captured before to go in.
Some Qin soldiers also knew about this matter, but no one said anything. They just thought it was the arrangement of the army.
But in fact, he alone controls this small castle.
In just four or five years, this will be a small kingdom.
This is also the base for his revenge.
But now, facing the Xiongnu, the Qin Dynasty has almost no opponents around, so it can only develop with peace of mind.
He could not keep up with this growing national power.
So how does he accept this? How could he accept it?
After looking at the military report in his hand, Zhang Liang breathed out slowly, then stood up and walked outside.
Although he didn't want to, he still had to tell Liu Bang and others these military reports.
But his plan had to make some changes, just in time to let people inquire about the situation of the Huns.
Soon Zhang Liang arrived at Liu Bang's tent and met Cao Shen and others before entering.
"Brother Liang, you came just in time. Mr. Pei Gong wants to invite you."
Cao Shen said to Zhang Liang at this time,
"The spies on the border of the grassland have received news that something seems to have changed on the Xiongnu side. Many tribes have taken action. We need to discuss countermeasures."
Several people quickly entered the camp and saw Liu Bang sitting at the top. Zhou Bo and others also arrived, all for this matter.
Zhang Liang no longer hesitated at this time and quickly said,
"Pei Gong, I have received a military report from Xianyang. The Xiongnu royal court has been divided. Some of them have surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, and some have fled."
Zhang Liang said and passed the military newspaper in his hand.
However, no one took the military report in his hand at this time, and everyone was stunned.
"What did you say?"
Liu Bang finally came to his senses, and then asked directly with a shocked look on his face.
"Pei Gong, all the information is in the military report."
Zhang Liang could only hand over the military report again.
This time Liu Bang hurriedly took the general's report, and then stared at it.
After reading it, he passed the newspaper to others and sat there with an unconfident look on his face.
"His Royal Highness the Prince actually destroyed the Xiongnu royal court with just one arrangement?"
After Cao Shen finished reading, he said with a somewhat incredulous expression.
Although he was good at planning, he couldn't imagine how such a thing could be accomplished.
As a military general, Zhou Bo couldn't help but sigh,
"His Royal Highness is not only superb in martial arts, but also unparalleled in planning."
After hearing these words, Liu Bang fell silent. In fact, deep down in his heart, from a certain aspect, he was still a little unconvinced with Zhao Lang.
I feel that the other person just has a good father, and no matter what he does, it will always be more convenient.
Moreover, he saw many of the other party's previous actions and felt that he could do it himself.
But now, relying on advance arrangements, they actually directly pacified the Xiongnu royal court. Such planning and foresight may not even be matched by the First Emperor.
Not to mention himself. .
For the first time, he felt convinced from the depths of his heart.
.
It was just that he was inevitably a little disappointed. After being silent for a while, he spoke,
"Since part of the Huns' royal court has surrendered, the Huns currently operating on the border must be the part that defected."
"It's just part of this defection. There are so many people and their strength cannot be underestimated."
"How do you think we should respond?"
Zhou Bo was well prepared and said,
"In my opinion, General, it is better to concentrate ten thousand people, not to confront the opponent head-on, but to follow and attack, and slowly drag these people to death."
Hearing this, Liu Bang nodded. This is indeed a good idea, and it can be regarded as repaying him with his own way.
Cao Shen said worriedly at this time,
"The Huns are cruel and cunning by nature. If we are pushed too hard and directly press the army into our current territory, we may not be able to defend it."
Now there are only 20,000 Qin cavalry on this huge grassland, and their strength is still extremely weak.
If the other party ignores its own losses, this place really cannot be defended.
After all, the grassland belongs to the Huns.
"In my opinion, there is no problem in sending troops to follow and attack, but don't force it too much. The main thing is to weaken the opponent's strength, and letting the opponent take away these tribes who are not convinced by Qin is not entirely a bad thing."
Cao Shen expressed his plan at this time.
After hearing this, everyone discussed it for a while and agreed that it was feasible, so Liu Bang nodded and said,
"Then our army will take action first, and I'll trouble Brother Zhou and Brother Lu to lead the attack."
Zhou Bo immediately stood up and accepted the order.
Zhang Liang, who had been beside him, said at this time,
"This time the army attacks, it is better for Liang to be in the center to provide support."
Liu Bang glanced at Zhang Liang with a complicated expression. Of course, he knew that Zhang Liang must have his own plans, and he might even be treason.
But on the other hand, letting the other person leave is not necessarily a bad thing for him.
Otherwise, he would always worry about whether the other party would trick him again somewhere else.
After all, he has no intention of becoming an enemy of Zhao Lang.
Now sitting on the border of Da Qin, although the conditions are a bit more difficult, he still has real power and a title.
After two more years, you can write to Xianyang and ask yourself to go back to take care of yourself. There will be no problem in becoming rich and safe.
Even within three generations of descendants, there is no need to worry.
So he said,
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
Zhang Liang's expression remained unchanged, then he bowed and left.
Soon the Qin Army camp started to move. Zhang Liang was in the tent and said to one of his confidants,
"You set out with the army and must find the remnants of the Huns!"
This time, he wanted to give it a try.
