Chapter 114 One Hundred Thousand Iron Cavalry
Chapter 113: One hundred thousand cavalry
Before Yuvluo's order was issued, he was interrupted by a voice. Everyone looked at the source of the sound and found that it was Temujin who had been silent because of his defeat.
“Temujin, do you have any other opinions?” Yuvluo stared at Temujin with a bad expression and said coldly.
Seeing this, Huchuquan quickly winked at Temujin, but Temujin pretended not to see it, and ignored the ugly-looking Yuvluo, saying directly: "Temujin objects to continuing to send troops."
Silence, the whole place is silent!
No one expected that Temujin would say such a taboo word at this time.
Speaking in front of Yuvluo that he opposes sending troops, isn't this asking for death? This time no one dares to stand up and intercede for Temujin. No one wants to bear the wrath of the Great Chanyu!
Hearing this, Yufuluo's face suddenly turned red and blue, and he turned angrily and laughed: "Tell me your reasons. If you can't satisfy me, don't blame me for ignoring my brotherhood."
Temujin's heart trembled, and he understood that he had touched his elder brother's bottom line, but he had a reason to stand up for the Huns.
"Da Chanyu, there are at least 10,000 defenders at Yanmen Pass now, and our army only has 40,000 troops left. Even if we captured Yanmen Pass, we don't have enough troops to completely occupy Yanmen County, let alone Qin Wen who is outside. He will never watch us occupy his lair.”
"Temujin thinks that our Great Huns are fighting against the meaningless Heyanmen Army, so it is better to concentrate on developing ourselves. The various tribes in Mobei have been unwilling to surrender to our Great Huns, and now that Xianbei Tanshihuai is dead, there must be no time for them to take care of it. , this is a great opportunity for us, the Xiongnu, to unify Mobei."
"If we can conquer all the tribes in Mobei, our Xiongnu strength will more than double. When we lead another 300,000 cavalry to the south and merge with the state, we will be able to easily crush the Yanmen army."
The meaning of Temujin's words is actually very euphemistic, that is, the current strength of the Xiongnu is not enough to solve the Yanmen Army. Instead of focusing on fighting against such strong opponents as the Yanmen Army and Qin Wen and Qin Hao, it is better to focus on development first. After his own strength increases, it will not be too late to turn around and deal with the Yanmen Army for revenge.
Why did the Xiongnu leave the soft bone of Mobei alone and insist on chewing the hard bone of Yanmen Army first?
Temujin directly pointed out the most embarrassing reality of the Xiongnu. No one could find any fault with it. Everyone present could not help but nodded secretly in their hearts, but no one said it out.
Compared with the Yanmen Army, the various tribes in Mobei are just weaklings!
However, good medicine tastes bitter and honest advice offends the ears!
Although Temujin’s words are very good, Yuvluo is bent on revenge and has already lost his mind. How can he listen to these words?
Besides, it was precisely because of Huvraud's paranoia that the Huns suffered heavy losses. Once he gave up midway, wouldn't it mean that his decisions over the years were all wrong? Isn't that a slap in the face?
As a Chanyu, his paranoia caused the entire Xiongnu to suffer huge losses, and his position as Chanyu would probably be unstable as a result.
So even in order to keep Shan Yu's position, Yuvluo would never give up the confrontation with the Yanmen Army.
As a king, you know your mistakes and correct them, but you never admit them!
Although Yu Fuluo regretted in his heart, he could only go all the way to the dark side. He had no other choice but to fight Qin Wen to the end!
"Who said that the Huns only have 40,000 troops?" Hufrault asked with a sneer.
“Huh?” Temujin was stunned when he heard this. Many words came to his lips, but he held them back.
He thought that Yuvluo would use various excuses to refute him, such as hatred, revenge, etc. Temujin had already thought of how to refute, but he did not expect that Yuvluo would start with military strength.
As long as the Huns have sufficient troops and are confident enough to take Yanmen Pass, is it still necessary to withdraw their troops? However, the Huns' 80,000-strong army suddenly attacked Yanmen Pass. Now 40,000 of them have been killed. There are only 40,000 left. Where did the extra troops come from? Could it be...
Huchuquan saw the doubts in Temujin's eyes, so he explained: "During the period when Brother Wang led the troops to attack Yanmen Pass, the Shanyu not only mobilized the 20,000 troops stationed in the three counties in the middle and north, but , and also mobilized 20,000 troops and 20,000 servants from Hetao. Now there are not 40,000 troops in the camp, but a full 100,000 cavalry. "
“Ten, one hundred thousand?” Temujin was stunned.
Including the 40,000 troops who have died in battle, that is 140,000. The Huns have not launched such a large-scale war for many years.
The last time was more than 20 years ago, when the Huns won a great victory. They not only occupied the three northern and central counties, but also burned Yanmen Pass.
And the purpose of dispatching so many troops this time is worthy of scrutiny, but everyone knows that it is definitely not just for Yanmen.
"Do you really think that this Chanyu is just trying to capture a mere Yanmen?" Yufuluo glanced at Temujin and sneered: "The Han Dynasty encountered civil strife. Now half of the country has been lost. The entire army is used to fight against the Yellow Turbans. And how can we, the Xiongnu, let go of such a golden opportunity? The purpose of this Shanyu's dispatch of troops is to make Bingzhou the pasture of our great Xiongnu and completely occupy this rich land."
Over the years, the Xiongnu's losses at Yanmen Pass were not insignificant. Even if they captured Yanmen Pass and even Yanmen County, it would barely be enough for the Xiongnu to regain their health, but it would be different if they captured the entire Bingzhou. Then they could move south and east in a matter of seconds. The initiative lies with the Huns.
No one expected that Shanyu, who had always been rough and arrogant, would think about the problem in such a long-term and courageous way this time, but they were all moved by the beautiful future described by Hufrault.
The Han Dynasty has too much time to take care of itself. Now is indeed an excellent opportunity. With the strength of the Han Dynasty in Bingzhou, once the Huns break through Yanmen Pass and a hundred thousand cavalry go south, even if Qin Wen comes back, they will never be able to stop the iron hoofs of the Huns army.
At that time, the mountains, rivers, wealth, food, and women of the Han people will all belong to the Huns!
The scene described by Hufro was indeed very tempting, and everyone present looked admiring it, but it was so beautiful that it was almost unreal, so Temujin’s reason told him that it couldn’t be that simple.
There was a voice in his heart that repeatedly told Temujin that the water in Yanmen was very deep, and that of the Qin family and his sons was even deeper. Everything was far from being as simple as Shanyu imagined.
Yuvluo's move was actually gambling with the fate of the Xiongnu clan. He wanted to complete the battle, but it was like walking on a cliff, but it was the entire Xiongnu clan who paid the price.
This victory is enough, but if they lose, the Xiongnu will not only be unable to recover for twenty years, but will also face the danger of annihilation.
Because the remaining troops of the Xiongnu will never be able to defend such a large territory. When the time comes, the wolves on the grassland will jump out and devour the Xiongnu.
【Although it has been stuck for a while, the basic problem has been solved. Liuxiang has figured out how to spend the summoning points and strengthen himself reasonably without destroying the balance. Liuxiang apologizes to everyone for the lack of stable updates during this period. I am very sorry. There is indeed a lot to do before the Chinese New Year. Liuxiang cannot guarantee anything, but Liuxiang will try his best. I hope everyone understands. 】
