Chapter 1084 That's the Food From My Land! Li Is Just an Ordinary Prisoner!
March 7, the seventeenth year of the Qin Dynasty.
The scorching sun at noon could not penetrate the layers of dense forest, making the path under the forest still extremely cold.
Twenty thousand knights, led by Hugjil, walked carefully through the corridor. However, the horses under their crotches were all short and slender horses, especially good at walking on mountain roads. Facing the almost vertical mountains on both sides, The cliff is still prohibitive, so we can only send more scouts and troops to scout forward in multiple directions.
Looking at the vast and lonely sky from a distance, Hugjil asked in a deep voice: "You still haven't detected the enemy's situation?"
Hugjile's intuition told him that something was wrong! Something is very wrong!
Such a lush mountain forest shouldn't be so quiet.
There should be roars of beasts and chirping of birds in his ears, and flocks of birds before his eyes.
But his subordinates shook their heads again and said: "The scouts have not found any traces of the enemy."
Hugjil's brows were furrowed and he could only order: "Send another thousand tribesmen as scouts."
"Our troops are moving slowly!"
As a pioneer, Huugjil could only go on bravely even if he felt uneasy.
Because the entire Taihang Mountains are unfamiliar to Donghu, Huugjile himself is not sure whether there are really enemy troops lurking around, or whether the ecology of this mountain forest is completely different from that of the Donghu mountains.
Under Huugjil's order, 20,000 knights were on guard with their bows throughout the whole process, scanning the hillsides on both sides with vigilant eyes. However, they never saw even a single trace of the enemy. They only caught more than ten Guizhou hunters who went up the mountain to log wood. That’s all.
One day after returning to the road, a barrier made of earth and stone stood in front of 20,000 Donghu soldiers, and a large flag hit Huugjile's eyes.
"plum?!"
Seeing the general flag with the word "Li" in the distance, Hugjil's muscles suddenly tightened. He pressed the handle of the knife with his right hand and his eyes were filled with concentration: "Send the order to the entire army to prepare for war!"
Just a few days ago, they had just fought a bloody battle with a banner with the character "Li" in Wuyang City. Alsileng personally led the elite to pursue but could not catch up. How could Hugjil not be vigilant!
Ha Tujin, the commander of Wanqi, said uncertainly: "Dadanghu, although the general's flag has the word 'Li' written on it, it is not a dark red general's flag."
"Looking at its color, it looks like a general's flag?"
"And the general's flag with the character 'Li' is not in front. This pass should be led by another general's flag."
As for what is written on the other general's flag?
Sorry, I don’t know Ha Tujin.
Hugjile was slightly startled, and his eyes were a little dull, but he still held the handle of the knife tightly with his right hand and said in a deep voice: "Commander Wuti, come forward with me!"
Surrounded by a thousand elites, Hugjil cautiously approached Guancheng, and saw a young general wearing a helmet and a middle-aged general standing on the city gate tower, guarded by hundreds of Dai troops. Looking down into the distance.
Their eyes met, the middle-aged general bowed his hands and said solemnly: "This general is Ma Chong, the guard general of Shanggu Pass."
"May I ask if this person is from the ally Paoze?"
Hearing the loud words of the defenders, Hugjil rode his horse forward to two hundred feet away from Guancheng, hit his heart with his right fist, and said in a deep voice: "General, Hugjil is the leader of Tunguska and the vanguard. !”
"I came here to pass through Shanggu Pass on the order of the commander of the coalition army."
"Please also ask General Ma to open the city gate for our troops to pass."
Ma Chong responded in a deep voice: "Now is the time of war, and only those who hold the talisman's military order can enter the pass."
"Those without military orders are not allowed to come within five hundred feet of Guancheng."
"Military orders are ruthless, please forgive me for your kindness."
While he was talking, a hanging basket fell from the city wall.
Hugjile nodded clearly: "It should be so!"
"Ooty!"
Hugjil took out a bamboo tube and a copper seal from his arms and gave them to the commander Wuti, and whispered: "Your troops should enter the city first. After entering the city, seize the city gate immediately and seize the city quickly!"
Cities belonging to the Dai Kingdom can give a certain degree of trust.
But Shanggu City, which belongs to Donghu, can truly be fully trusted.
Regarding the important passage for the Allied troops to go north, no matter how cautious you are, you cannot be too cautious.
Wuti hit his heart with his right fist, and personally led his troops to the city gate, and put all the bamboo tubes and copper seals into the hanging basket.
Ma Chong waved his hand casually and ordered the soldiers to pull up the hanging basket, cut open the mud seal and took out the bamboo slips inside.
The young general stretched his neck to look at the bamboo slips next to Ma Chong, and then his expression changed: "The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces ordered Huugjil's troops to be the vanguard. They would first go to Daidi to explore the road, and then go around to open a food road to Jicheng. ”
"And ordered the officials in all counties and counties to search the people to get at least one million dan of food for the army to chew?!"
"The king still agrees?"
"It's his mother's fault!"
"That's the war profit that Aweng led us to march hundreds of miles north to the Xiongnu and wiped out countless tribes!"
"That's the food I provide for the land!"
The central government ignored the famine in Daidi, and Sanqianpaoze took great risks and fought for more than a thousand miles, killing dozens of Xiongnu tribes, just to earn food for the leaders of Daidi.
They finally managed to collect enough food to keep the leaders of Guizhou from generation to generation, but the government ordered them to hand over the food, and it had to be given to the Xiongnu and Donghu to eat!
Why!
There is no such truth in the world! How can there be such a king!
Li Hong clenched his fists angrily, his face turned red, and he wished he could kill Hugjil with one arrow right now!
Ma Chong glanced at Li Hong and said, "Think about your strategy and don't act rashly!"
After being reminded by Ma Chong, Li Hong suppressed his anger and looked at Hugjile rather unkindly.
Ma Chong bowed his hands in front of the city and said solemnly: "The military orders according to the talisman are correct."
"Pass on my order to open the city gate!"
"Welcome friendly soldiers to enter the city!"
Accompanied by Ma Chong's order, the gate of Shanggu Pass slowly opened.
Wuti rushed into the city first, ready to occupy the advantageous terrain to seize the city gate, and then...
Just around the corner, he saw another city gate!
Wuti:? ? ?
Looking back, Wuti saw that the already opened city gate was pushed up by fifty Dai soldiers!
Wuti:! ! !
Huugjile's face tightened, and he asked solemnly: "You disobeyed the order of the commander of the coalition army, and you want to rebel and be the enemy of our army?!"
Ma Chong said calmly: "In order to ensure that Shanggu Pass is safe, whether it is the friendly forces of the alliance or the soldiers of the Dai army, only a thousand people can enter the pass each time. After these thousand people pass through the pass, the city gate will be opened again to allow the next thousand people to enter the pass."
Huugjile said angrily: "How can there be such a thing in the world to enter the city!"
Only a thousand people can enter the pass each time? What the hell is the city to be stolen!
Ma Chong sneered: "What military strategy do you know?"
"Qin Chang'an Jun once used a small force to steal the city, how can we not be on guard?"
"I will obey the king's order to protect Shanggu Pass, and I will never let the king down."
The correct version is reading! 6=9+Shu_bar first published this novel.
"Want to rush in? Or, report to my king and ask the king to give an order."
"Or, fight in!"
If Huugjile can easily take Shanggu Pass and make the coalition's passage to the north more stable, Bater will only praise him.
But if Huugjile takes the initiative to provoke a war, turning Shanggu Pass, which was originally open for the army to pass, into a battlefield, so that the follow-up troops are blocked in Puyin Xing and are in a dilemma, and the follow-up Dai army is afraid of the coalition without any results, then Huugjile is the sinner of the coalition!
As for ordering the king of Dai to tell Ma Chong to let him go, it is nonsense, and time does not allow it!
Even though he was very dissatisfied, Huugjile could only say in a deep voice: "Then please let General Ma pass quickly!"
Then Huugjile whispered: "Order the whole army to prepare for a strong attack!"
Huugjile could not start a war privately, but he had to guard against Ma Chong's intention to start a war!
Ma Chong nodded slightly: "It should be so."
"Let him pass!"
The gate of the city gate opened, and Wuti passed through Shanggu Pass under the watchful eyes of two thousand Dai soldiers, and then passed through a city gate and a city gate, and successfully arrived outside the pass.
When Wuti's troops left Shanggu Pass, the gate on the south side of Shanggu Pass was opened again. Bater frowned and said, "Tebul's troops, move forward!"
The troops passed through Shanggu Pass one by one and arrived outside the pass. When Huugjile himself stood on the land outside the pass, Huugjile felt a little confused for a while: "I will leave the pass now?"
"It seems that I misunderstood General Ma!"
Although the process was a bit troublesome, it was really safe? !
In this case, what reason did I have to capture Shanggu Pass!
Huugjile looked back at Shanggu Pass and said in a deep voice: "Send a messenger back to the central army quickly, and ask the king to order General Ma Chong to hand over Shanggu Pass to our army!"
At the same time.
Shanggu Pass. Li Hong squatted beside Li Mu and said anxiously: "Ah Weng! The enemy army is really as Ah Weng expected, intending to enter Dai through Puyin Pass, and even to collect one million stones of grain in Dai for the Xiongnu Donghu!" "Ah Weng knows the nature of the Hu bandits. With this order, the Hu bandits will definitely not be satisfied with one million stones of grain. They may take this opportunity to plunder the people of Dai, or even take them as slaves!" "Ah Weng! If my army lets Hu Gejile pass through, it may endanger the people of Dai." "Then how should my army deal with the subsequent Hu bandits?!" Li Mu: "Woo?" Li is just an ordinary captive with his hands and feet tied and his mouth blocked. What's the point of you talking to Li? Li Hong took out the cork from Li Mu's mouth with increasing anxiety and asked: "Aunt! This matter concerns the lives of the people of Daidi!"
"Aunt, you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore!"
Li Mu glared at Li Hong, propped up one end of the cork with his shoulder, and stretched out his tongue to roll the cork into his mouth and bite it again.
Li Xian hurriedly pushed Li Hong away and said solemnly: "Brother Zhong! Aunt can point out the enemy's strategy at a critical moment, which is a great righteousness!"
"The rest of the matter will be discussed and resolved by us."
"Brother Zhong has a sword on his waist, please stay away from Aunt, so that Aunt will not hurt his own life!"
Since seeing Li Mu easily break free from the restraints with his own eyes, Li Xian's care for Li Mu has taken a step forward.
Li Xian was reluctant and could not put shackles on Li Mu, so he could only lead ten clansmen to guard Li Mu day and night. All eleven of them did not carry any weapons to prevent Li Mu from taking the blade and committing suicide. Chopsticks, daggers and other items were all taken away. Even the bones of the meat had to be removed first, and only the meat was picked out, and fed with a wooden spoon with a thick edge and a spindle-shaped back end.
Li Xian did everything he could to prevent Li Mu from committing suicide!
The sword on Li Hong's waist was really dangerous in Li Xian's eyes!
Li Hong took a breath of cold air to suppress the heat in his heart, and said guiltily: "Brother, you are too excited."
Lu Gao said solemnly: "I think that Wu'an Jun let the enemy's vanguard pass through the pass to avoid alerting the enemy's main force."
"And the enemy's vanguard is only 20,000. Even if we cannot annihilate them completely, we can defeat them with the ambush troops arranged five miles north."
"However, the main force in the rear can no longer defeat them with ambushes, and can only block them with the pass."
"Therefore, I think that in order to ensure the safety of the people in Dai, we must not allow the subsequent Hu bandits to pass through!"
After thinking for a moment, Li Hong said in a deep voice: "I think what Captain Lu said is very true!"
Listening to the direction of the generals' discussion, Li Mu gently closed his eyes.
