The Qin army on the grassland didn’t march very fast, only sending out an extremely large number of scouts.
By evening, the Qin army began to set up their camp for the night.
Many people took out a shovel and started digging pits around the camp, this was to prevent the enemy cavalry from raiding the camp.
Once the camp was attacked by the enemy with a large group of cavalry on the grassland, there was little room for resistance.
In the interior of Qin, defence measures such as horse barriers were usually set up, but on the grasslands, trees were extremely rare and inconvenient to carry, so the good thing was that one person with a shovel could solve these problems more or less perfectly.
Zhang Liang is at this time with Zhou Bo and Lu, is standing in the camp of the high place to discuss.
“General Lu, we have been scouting for a few days now, have we found any traces of the new monarch of the Xiongnu.”
Zhang Liang asked at this time.
Lu shook his head bashfully and returned.
“We’ve only set out a short while ago, we only know the general direction, although we’ve encountered some Xiongnu herders, but it’s not that easy to find Xiongnu Shan Yu’s tribe.”
“But we don’t have to be too anxious, if the Huns want to leave this place, there is only this one road to the west that they can take, most of those city-states close to the grassland are also under our surveillance, it’s impossible for the Huns to get out of here in one piece.”
Zhang Liang knew that the other party was telling the truth, not coming up to the grassland, it was hard to imagine the vastness of the grassland.
Not to mention the 10,000 Qin troops, even if 100,000 were thrown into the grassland, it would not be easy to find.
Lv said at this time, he could not help but sigh and said.
“Tch, to say that His Highness the Crown Prince is truly a man of God, when he was still a general, he made Boldon suffer, and now he directly destroyed the Xiong Nu royal court without even sending a large army.”
This part of the Qin army that they had followed Zhao Lang in the beginning had always been known as the Crown Prince’s Guard.
Always looking for every opportunity to praise Zhao Lang.
When Zhang Liang heard this, he could only squeeze out a smile and chimed in a few times.
After conferring with the two for a while, Lu said at this time that
“Now it’s just a matter of finding it step by step, there’s no rush, so this general will go ahead and dig a pit with his brothers.”
Saying this, Lu directly left the place, after finishing his own business, doing things together with the soldiers was a tradition left behind by His Highness the Crown Prince, which was also why this group of them were extremely united internally, even if he was now a general, he had always insisted on doing so.
After Lu Bu left, Zhou Bo, who was on the side, said to Zhang Liang.
“Brother Liang doesn’t need to be in a hurry, we will definitely all get credit for this great battle.”
In Zhou Bo’s eyes, the other party was someone who extremely wanted to establish merit.
Otherwise, he would not have deliberately tampered with the paperwork and sent Liu Bang to the grasslands in the first place, not to mention encouraging them to stay in the grasslands.
Of course, in their view, this is not a bad thing, a great man born in heaven and earth, should build a career!
Hearing this, Zhang Liang just squeezed out a smile and then said.
“Thank you brother Zhou, this time we will definitely build a career, I still have to go and watch over the rear camp so I won’t stay much longer.”
I have to go and watch the rear camp, so I won’t stay much longer.” After saying that, he saluted and left.
After that, he saluted and left.
Looking at the other party’s back as he left, Zhou Bo shook his head slightly and said to himself.
“Brother Liang is also a talented one, good at everything, just a bit too utilitarian, well, next time I have the opportunity to recommend more to His Highness the Crown Prince is all.”
He at least has a brotherhood with the other party, can be used, and is not for his own personal gain, he has a clear conscience.
The next few days, the Qin army is still marching along the way, but captured a lot of small tribes, now they will not directly kill each other, captured back as slaves to sell, that is also the income of the army.
This day was on the way of marching, suddenly a Qin army scout came speeding from the distance, shouting that
“General a large number of cattle and sheep were found twenty miles ahead!”
Hearing this, everyone’s spirits were immediately lifted, a large number of cows and sheep also meant that there was a large tribe.
And now the only ones who could have so many cows and sheep were almost exclusively those who had come out of the Xiongnu royal court.
Zhou Bo, who was the main general, even directly roared.
“Probe again! Feel out the enemy’s situation! To guide the army!”
“Send orders to the entire army to prepare for battle!”
All the Qin troops, at once, began to prepare for battle.
Lu Bu also prepared to lead his men towards the enemy’s flank.
Their 10,000 men could have split into two groups and impacted from different directions, which would have done more damage.
However, both of them did not notice that at this time, Zhang Liang on the side of the room’s face changed slightly, his eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly said.
“The two generals wait!”
Both of them couldn’t help but look over, Zhang Liang at this time quickly said.
“The two generals in my opinion, it’s better to pass the order to the other party first to see if they can be recruited.”
Zhou Bo at this time returned directly to.
“If this group of people would have surrendered, they wouldn’t have left the Xiongnu royal court at that time.”
“Recruiting a surrender now will only alert the snakes and put them on the defensive.”
According to his thoughts, the soldiers were quick, and the onslaught should be launched immediately now!
Zhang Liang said at this time, but gritted his teeth and said.
“Brother Zhou, have you forgotten the military report that His Highness the Crown Prince gave us?”
“Now the new monarch of the Xiong Nu is a disciple of His Highness the Crown Prince!”
Hearing this, Zhou Bo immediately hesitated, when His Highness the Crown Prince used Imperial Prince Fusu and Gao to send Boldon’s three sons back to Xiongnu, they all knew about it.
They even privately laughed at these two imperial sons, being used by their own Crown Prince.
But this was also a side note that nowadays, the old upper monarch of the Xiongnu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were indeed very close to each other.
But this is also from the side to show that nowadays the old upper monarch of the Huns and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s relationship is indeed very close.
Just as Zhou Bo was hesitating, Lu on the side said.
“We are soldiers, the Great Qin military order is for us to block the other side from evacuating, these relationships shouldn’t be something we should dwell on.”
“Now we should take advantage of their defences and kill Xiong Nu Shan Yu!”
Saying that he was about to attack with his men, Zhang Liang almost shouted out loud at this time, and
“General Lu, if you don’t think about yourself, you should also think about your brothers!”
“If you really want to kill this person, will His Highness the Crown Prince really not care?”
“Or are you so sure that you will be able to kill the other party, General Lu? And wasn’t our goal before we set out to kill and injure the Xiong Nu nobles?”
This time, Lu also couldn’t help but frown.
He didn’t care too much about personal gains and losses as long as he could serve His Highness the Crown Prince, but it was different with these brothers of his.
Seeing that both of them hesitated, Zhang Ling’s mind turned sharply, and he directly ordered that
“Men, bring my beckoning letter to the Xiongnu camp!”
With that, his beloved went quickly in the direction of the Xiongnu camp.
Seeing this scene, the two knew that the other party had prepared for this.
With things having come to this point, Zhou Bo and Lu could only admit it and said.
“Tell the brothers not to slacken off, once the recruitment fails, we will tail the attack according to the original plan.”
Even if they couldn’t kill Xiong Nu Shan Yu, they still had to weaken the other party’s power.
At this time inside the Hun camp, Li was looking at the simple map in front of him, his face did not look good, wanting to pass through the Qin army’s interception with minimal loss was not an easy task.
No one knew the deployment of the Qin army.
Just at this time, a Hun attendant hurriedly ran in,, with a few moments of incredulity, said.
“Shan Yu, there is a Qin army messenger outside who says he wants to see you.”
Li was slightly stunned, how could there be a Qin army messenger here?
Then quickly said.
“Tell all the ministries to prepare their armies for battle, the Qin army is just around the corner.”
Only after giving the order did Li say.
“Let the messenger come in.”
