Chapter 847: The Huns’ Turnaround
After Zhang Liang returned to his camp, he quickly called his confidants,
"How many people do we have now?"
The confidant quickly replied,
"Master, there are about a hundred people, all of whom have privately joined the slave-catching team."
The method Zhang Liang used to corrupt these Qin cavalry was also very simple. He used the matter of capturing slaves to win over these people in private.
There will always be those who are greedy for money among the 20,000 Qin soldiers. As long as they join his slave-catching team, it will be impossible to escape.
It's just that the time is still too short now, and only more than a hundred people have been gathered, but it should be enough.
His money is not that easy to get.
Zhang Liang nodded and quickly made some arrangements, and then said,
"Gather these people together and wait for orders at any time."
Soon the confidant took the order and left. .
After the other party left, Zhang Liang frowned slightly and started his next plan.
The situation he is facing now is very dangerous. Now that Qin Jun has begun to test him, it will not take long for him to discover his true identity.
So he couldn't stay in Da Qin any longer.
He must leave!
But there are ways to leave, and escaping Da Qin directly is the most direct way.
But it’s also the way to lose the most.
This meant that all the arrangements he had made before were used as wedding clothes for Da Qin, which he could not accept.
He must find an opportunity to transfer his accumulation, and cannot give it to Da Qin for free.
And even if he successfully transferred, there would still be more difficulties waiting for him later.
It is too difficult to establish one's own power outside the territory and fight against the Qin Dynasty with bare hands.
He needs more help.
But although Da Qin was big, there were not many people who could help him.
What's more, he is on the grassland now, except Liu Bang...
Zhang Liang's eyes suddenly lit up when he thought of this. After thinking for a while, he said to himself,
"Pei Gong, you and I are on the same journey. You have the image of a king, but you always hesitate when encountering problems. Why don't you let me help you again."
He secretly made up his mind, but at this moment, there was a loud noise outside the camp.
Zhang Liang knew that it was Lu's return from the expedition. It seemed that the Qin army had gained a lot this time.
He also needs to prepare
Taking a slow breath, Zhang Liang stood up, forced a smile and walked out.
As he walked, he smiled and said,
"General Lu is indeed brave. Let me go down and persuade those ungrateful Huns..."
The atmosphere in the camp soon became lively.
At this time, the Xiongnu camp was in the tent in the middle.
Li Zheng listened expressionlessly to the report from a Hun spy below.
"Participation, the Qin army launched another attack on us, and two tribes suffered heavy losses."
Listening to the reports from the Hun spies, the surrounding Hun nobles gradually turned red-eyed.
When had the Huns experienced such humiliation?
After listening, Li just waved his hand and said,
"Okay, this Shanyu knows. Let's get the wounded settled. We can't give up on our people so easily."
Hearing this, the Hun spy looked a little disappointed, but he still carried out the order extremely faithfully.
Although they have suffered a lot of losses these days, unlike before, they have not abandoned their own people yet.
As for dying in battle.
Every Xiongnu is born with the consciousness of dying in battle, and this is also an extremely glorious thing.
After the Hun spies left, a Hun noble suppressed his anger and asked,
"Chanyu, how long are we going to run away? Are we just going to watch these Qin people kill our people?"
"Our current soldiers can kill all those people." Gu Jing
If Tianli hadn't already established some prestige these days, he wouldn't have even asked and just rushed forward with his people.
Hearing this, the other nobles nodded.
Although the Xiongnu royal court was divided, there were still hundreds of thousands of Huns in their group.
There were more than 50,000 Huns warriors who could mount their horses.
Even if the Qin army on the opposite side is elite, with only 20,000 soldiers, they can still destroy the opponent!
However, in the face of the Qin army's provocation and attack, their Chanyu just chose to tolerate it.
This is not the style of their Huns at all!
Hearing the noble's words, Li showed a smile and asked,
"Okay, as you said, now we gather all the soldiers and launch an attack on the Qin army!"
Upon hearing this order, all the Hun nobles in the tent were stunned.
There were also some militants who became fanatical in an instant. Just as they were about to go out to gather their troops, they heard Li continue to say,
"But before setting off, I have a few questions to ask you."
"The Qin army now has 20,000 elite soldiers. How many soldiers should we prepare to die? How long will we fight this battle? How much materials will it cost?"
The Xiongnu nobles were stunned for a moment. How could they think about these issues? The nobles who were unconvinced just now frowned and said,
"Chanyu, we Huns always fight quickly, and we don't have supplies, so we just go and grab them."
The other Xiongnu nobles nodded again. Indeed, the Huns relied on this method to traverse the entire grassland.
The ceremony continued at this time, saying unhurriedly,
"The date for our entry into the West has not yet been determined. We need a lot of supplies. As for grabbing them?"
"Didn't you listen to the information I gave you? Now many city-states in the west have been controlled by the Qin army and are preparing to fight us."
“It’s no longer possible to get supplies easily.”
"Now as we go west, there are fewer aquatic plants and more sand. Our cattle and sheep can't hold on much longer."
"After the battle with the Qin army, how many soldiers can we have left? Who will protect our people? Or are you already prepared for everyone to die here?"
"If this is your wish, then I will lead you now and be the first to charge!"
"Even if we die, we will all die together! This Shanyu will never live an ignoble life!"
As Li spoke, he drew his weapon and walked outside.
Seeing this scene, the nobleman who was angry just now hugged Li and said repeatedly,
"Chanyu! You have to calm down, Shanyu! I was stupid just now, I hope Shanyu won't take it to heart."
Other Xiongnu nobles also gathered around,
"Chanyu, we were wrong!"
"Everyone, stop being stunned and quickly go settle down your clan members!"
"Yes, yes, go right now, go right now."
Soon the Hun nobles all left in a hurry, fearing that Li would take them to die.
After all these people left, Li returned to his seat.
The trick he just used was taught by his uncle, which is called advance before retreat.
Of course, this is also the reason for his lack of prestige. If he were an uncle, none of his subordinates would dare to raise objections and would just follow the orders honestly.
At this time, King Zuo Xian on the side saw this scene and was extremely emotional.
He knew that this new Chanyu was wiser than Moton Chanyu! And still so young!
It won't be long before the Huns rise again!
Thinking of this, King Zhu Xian couldn't help but sigh,
"Chanyu, your wisdom is higher than the mountains, and higher than the sea..."
But before he finished speaking, an attendant came in from outside and reported,
"Chanyu, the envoy of the Qin army wants to see you."
Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and he knew that the Huns' turning point was coming!
"Let him in!"
