Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu led their troops to regain Shuofang City.

Taiwei Li Rong quickly transferred 100,000 troops, tens of thousands of people, a large number of equipment and military rations from Taiyuan City, and began to strengthen the city defense of Shuofang City.

Sources of material resources are continuously transported from the rear to Shuofang.

With Li Rong in charge of Shuofang City, he has no worries.

Ten days later.

Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu led the 50,000 new troops after rest and set off to fight against the grassland.

It was early autumn, and the weather had just turned cold, and it was not too cold.

We can't delay any longer. After three or four months, it will be very unfavorable for them to march and conquer the Huns.

...

The 20,000-infantry chariot, 20,000 gunpowder light cavalry and 10,000 heavy cavalry. The carriage carried a large amount of food and arms, and slowly entered the prairie.

Leaving Shuofang City, passing the outermost Jilusai, and crossing Yinshan, there is an endless grassland. There is almost no population or city, only grasslands and a very small number of Xiongnu tents living by water and grass.

However, the Huns actually had two important landmarks.

One is the territory where the left Xiongnu tribe is centered at the Langjuxu Mountains.

The other is the territory where the right Xiongnu tribe is centered at the Yanran Mountains. It is also the location of the Xiongnu royal court, and a city, Longcheng, was built as a holy place for worshiping the sky.

The Xiongnu tribes divided the entire vast grasslands of thousands of miles and dominated the north.

"But let the flying general in Longcheng be here, and I won't teach Hu Ma to cross Yinshan!"

Chu Tianxiu looked at the endless grassland and couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, when I listened to this poem in Chinese class, I was always confused and couldn't tell where "Yinshan, Longcheng" was.

Today I found out that Yinshan Mountain was on the edge of Shuofang City, protecting Shuofang City. This Yinshan Mountain is the boundary between the Xiongnu prairie and the Great Chu border city.

Once the Hu horse passes Yinshan, it will be at the foot of Shuofang City.

And this Longcheng is in the hinterland of the Huns and is the political center of the Huns.

Li Gannian rode a horse and looked through the map of the prairie, a little confused.

"Son-in-law, where are we going? Go to attack the left Xiongnu tribe in the Langjuxu Mountain area, or to attack the right Xiongnu tribe in the Yanran Mountain area?"

Li Gannian was confused.

Although the new army went to fight against the Huns, their generals did not know Chu Tianxiu's plan and how to fight this battle.

"No one goes! We pass through the grassland between the two mountains, Langjuxu and Yanran Mountain, and head north!"

Chu Tianxiu smiled.

“All the way north?”

Li Gannian looked puzzled, "Where is that?"

This map does not indicate what will happen after passing through Face Mountain. It is estimated that... it is still a prairie! As for whether there are more Huns there, it is not clear.

Don't say that he didn't understand, the other generals didn't understand either.

But, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, they have absolute confidence in Chu Tianxiu, and they will go wherever Xiaohunhou pointed.

...

On the entire grassland, all the Hun tribes were extremely nervous and closely monitored the movements of the 50,000 troops and Chu army.

Fortunately, because there are as many as 20,000 infantry chariot troops, the carriages are of course slower than horses, and the marching speed is much slower than that of light cavalry, which is estimated to be only half.

Therefore, the Hun cavalry spies could easily track the movements of this Chu army and follow them all the way.

The Huns' court.

"Report! Shanyu, Xiaohunhou led a Chu army of 50,000 troops and left Shuofang City and headed to the middle of Yanran Mountain and Langjuxu Mountain."

The Hun spies reported urgently.

Junchen Shanyu, Yizhi and the princes of the Xiongnu were all stunned.

The Right Xiongnu tribe where the Xiongnu kings were located was located in Yanran Mountain area and was led by the military minister Shanyu.

The left Xiongnu tribe was in the area of ​​Langjuxu Mountain, and the Shanyu's younger brother, Yizhi, was the supreme commander.

If the Great Chu wanted to fight north, he would definitely choose one of them as the target of attack.

The Chu army should be clear about this information.

They didn't go anywhere, but they planned to pass through the middle of the grassland. What are they trying to do?!

What is Chu Jun doing?

What does Xiaohunhou want to do?

"Yi Zhi, you have dealt with Xiao Hunhou in Jinling City. What is Xiao Hunhou's intention?"

Junchen Shanyu was confused and looked at Prince Yizhi.

Yi Zhi was also confused, "This... Brother Wang, I can't see it either. There are only a few small tribes in the middle of these two mountains. It's meaningless to pass through it!

Does he want to take advantage of our retreat?...No, there is no way to go on all sides of the prairie? Is he the bait? There are other Chu troops behind him?!"

"I have never seen other Chu troops and left Shuofang City."

"No matter what he wants to do, keep an eye on his movements! Daily report!"

"yes!"

...

A few days later.

"Report! Shanyu, Xiaohunhou led 50,000 Chu troops through Guyan Mountain in the north and continued north... without stopping!"

The Hun spies came to report again.

The military ministers, Shanyu, Yizhi and the Hun kings were all confused.

Guyan Mountain is already considered their north for the Huns. Continue to walk north, it is a bitter and cold place. It is covered with heavy snow in winter, the snow season is too long, and there is a lack of water plants to raise sheep.

The Huns were unwilling to stay in that kind of place, and they all lived as much as possible in the south, near the border of Great Chu.

The climate here is warm, with more rainfall and lush water and grass, which can feed hundreds of thousands of Huns.

Who would want to go through Guyan Mountain? The punishment of the Xiongnu will be exiled to the north.

In the north, there are not many Hun tribes living there, and even if there are, they are a very small tribe.

"Isn't this little Hunhou lost his way on the prairie? Can't we find the main force of our Hun?"

"It shouldn't be. He is a new generation of famous generals in the Great Chu. How could he make such a low-level mistake!"

The Hun princes muttered in their hearts.

"Let's go, gather 500,000 troops from the left and right sides of our Xiongnu, and go and see what Xiaohunhou wants to do!"

Junchen Shanyu thought about it, but he still couldn't figure out what Xiao Hunhou went to the north of the grassland to do.

However, he was always a little uneasy.

Xiao Hunhou led his army across the grassland, and he couldn't just leave it alone.

The other military minister Shanyu, as the overlord of the grassland, was the ruler of the grassland.

Xiao Hunhou ignored his existence like this, swaggered through his territory, and even ignored the Xiongnu tribes. This was a deep contempt and humiliation!

This is even more outrageous than directly attacking the Xiongnu royal court.

If Xiao Hunhou was allowed to lead his army to walk around the grassland.

He, Shanyu, had no face to command the Huns.

Prince Yizhi nodded, "Brother Wang, since Xiaohunhou has gone deep into the north.

Then we simply ate all the 50,000 soldiers and horses of Xiao Hunhou in the depths of the prairie! Even if he wanted to escape, he would not be able to escape from Shuofang City for these thousands of miles.

He is known as the most capable god of war in the Great Chu. He dares to go deep into the grassland with only 50,000 soldiers and horses. If we have 500,000 light cavalry, we don’t believe that we can’t swallow him.”

"good!"

"We led a 500,000 army to set up defenses in Guyanshan area, blocking his escape route back to Dachu. The Emperor Xiang Yanran of the Great Chu was almost surrounded by us once, but he was lucky enough to escape. This time, Xiaohunhou cannot escape back."

"Set off!"
Chapter completed!
