Attacking Gu County of Zhongshan State, investigating the treasury, and eliminating suspects took some time!
They then renewed their alliance with the envoys of the Zhongshan Kingdom, discussed strategies, and prepared for war, which took some more time...
After all the revenge reinforcements from more than a dozen tribes arrived, ten days had passed!
At this moment, Jiang Ming had already completed the ambush deployment for the Yanshan defense line!
Spending the government's money is like spending bastards' money, so why not use it!
Jiang Ming mobilized a large number of laborers to prepare many thrilling and exciting 'entertainment projects' for the Xiongnu people in the "Yanshan Tourist Area".
After all, the Xiongnu have already paid for the 'entrance fee,' so we must make sure our customers have a great time!
What bothered Jiang Ming was that, despite having already cast out the bait of "buying grain at a high price"!
But Young Master Luo did not take the bait.
The big businessmen who came to negotiate with him were all shady characters.
This made Jiang Ming feel vaguely uneasy...
It's not that he's afraid Ji Bochang will suspect that he is a prince of Qin.
But if this young master Luo were to travel to various states and the news were to leak to the ears of the ruler of Jin, that would be a real problem!
Right now, the most important thing is to guard against the Xiongnu!
As for Jin Feng, she was indeed seriously injured...
She was said to have lost too much blood and had been in a semi-comatose state, and had been coughing constantly... It was estimated that her lungs were injured, and Jiang Ming hadn't had time to go see her.
This allowed me to enjoy a rare period of peace and quiet without being bothered!
......
The Yanshan area is characterized by its crisscrossing ravines and narrow canyons.
Whether you have 20,000 people or 200,000 people, if you want to get in, you all have to obediently walk through the long, winding queue!
And the winding snake twists and turns, like a maze...
This also provided excellent geographical conditions for the 'annihilation war'!
Because it allows for the division and disintegration of large numbers of enemy troops, minimizing the enemy's numerical advantage.
In addition, there is a rare basin in the Yanshan Mountains.
It covers a large area but has a low altitude. It is overgrown with vegetation and has craggy rocks. The surrounding mountains are steep, making it like a big pocket. It is easy to get in, but it is very easy to get lost when you get out.
It takes a lot of effort to thoroughly understand the terrain!
If the winding path ahead is the digestive tract, then this is the 'stomach'...
Aixin Khan led an army of 200,000 and slowly entered the Yanshan Mountains.
Along the way, we didn't see a single Yan army outpost; all we saw was the pristine wilderness, with the cries of cranes and the howls of monkeys, which made us sigh with emotion...
"These Yan people are really stupid!"
Ai Xin sighed, "Such a good place, if archers were to set up an ambush, we would be in danger!"
"The Great Chanyu..."
One of his men said, "The Yan people believe that this place is not suitable for large-scale military operations, so they have no troops stationed here. Moreover, they fight with chariots, and mountainous terrain is not suitable for them. This time, we... will catch them off guard!"
"Hmph, we mustn't be careless! These bastards are extremely cunning!"
......
"Report! No Yan troops have been spotted ahead!" a scout reported upon returning.
"Um!"
Aixin Khan ordered: "March quickly and pass through these canyons as fast as possible!"
The army advanced rapidly and soon arrived at the basin.
The long line of people behind them was still gradually moving into the "pocket".
"strangeness?"
Aixin Khan sighed, "Why is there so much grass here?"
"Yes, Great Chanyu, look! There are stacks and stacks of withered grass ahead, as if they were specially stockpiled here..."
"Is it possible that this place was specifically used by the Yan people to store grain and fodder?"
"Possibly! It's late autumn, and the grass has all withered, so these Yan people stockpiled this grass in advance to feed their warhorses. It can't be transported away immediately..."
"Very likely! Look, there are still transfer vehicles over there!"
......
The Xiongnu people looked ahead and indeed found many flatbed carts filled with sacks of dry grass.
"snort......"
Aixin Chanyu sneered, "These Yan people dare not graze their horses on the grasslands, they only dare to pick grass in the mountains, they are truly worthless bastards!"
"Great Chanyu, we have discovered many wooden boxes ahead, which seem to contain valuables!" a Xiongnu soldier reported.
"Open it!" ordered Aixin Chanyu.
A group of Xiongnu soldiers stepped forward and immediately opened the box.
However, as soon as the box was opened, countless pigeons flew out in a flurry!
The Xiongnu soldiers near Yangsa had pigeon droppings all over their faces, and even Aixin Chanyu's face was covered in some.
"damn it!"
Aixin Chanyu cursed, "What are these Yan people doing with these pigeons?"
However, what he didn't know was that these pigeons were a signal; Murong Lie, on the other side of the mountain, had already learned that the Xiongnu army had penetrated deep enough... and immediately ordered their retreat to be blocked.
"Great Chanyu! The Golden Wolf's Seal Box has been discovered!"
A Xiongnu soldier discovered the seal box that once contained the golden wolf inside a box that held pigeons, and shouted excitedly.
Soon... the golden wolf seal box was presented to Ai Xin.
Although he felt something was amiss and suspected a trap, Ai Xin couldn't wait to open the Golden Wolf Seal Box.
