This is the realm of the Huns.
A middle-aged man with a dark complexion, a burly figure, and a fat head and big ears sat in the first place, he took the note, looked at it, and handed it to the Central Plains person on the side, asking him to translate the literal meaning to him.
"Great King, it says that Huo Ziqian's 300,000 military horses have all arrived in Qinling. It is impossible for Huo Ziqian and Su Kang to join forces, Huo Ziqian went south this time to recover Yangzhou, the king, as long as we attack now, the capital will definitely be attacked by the enemy. β
This is the time to make the best chance of winning.
Shan Yu Mogan laughed: "The people of the Central Plains have always been cunning, whether this news is true or not, we need to send more people to probe the rumors." Also, it's time for the Xianbei people to get in touch. "If you can't eat a bite, why don't you call the brothers to help?
The men below took the command.
The Xiongnu are close to the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions, and the Xianbei people are adjacent to Youzhou in Liangzhou, and when the wolf smoke is everywhere, he doesn't believe that this little emperor can still take care of it!
In his opinion, the war is imminent, Su Xin will either stick to the capital, or go south to Yangzhou to fight to the death with Su Kang, the king of Yan.
In short, Su Xin will never go north. If Su Xin goes north, Su Kang will definitely take the opportunity to occupy the capital.
Seeing this, the Huns were eager to try by grinding their fists, just waiting for the time to come, and the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, so as to rush south to occupy the advantageous position of the Dajing Dynasty.
Xianbei has coveted the Central Plains for a long time. After Tuoba Hu, the son of the leader of the Xianbei tribe, ascended the throne, he became even more interested in the Central Plains.
Unlike the Xiongnu leader Shan Yu Mogan, Tuoba Hu was young and promising, and when he was only seventeen years old, he used stratagem to quell the civil strife without spending a single soldier.
This starts with the ancestral training of the Xianbei people, the Xianbei people are worried about the harem interfering in politics, so there have been regulations since ancient times to set up sons and kill mothers.
Tuoba Fox has been treated coldly by his mother since the day he was born, and after encountering several accidents and almost dying in Huangquan, he really understands that between him and his mother is either you die or I die.
Not only that, but in order to survive, my mother did not hesitate to betray her father, which led to a civil war between my father and uncle, and the situation in the palace was turbulent...... No one expected that the chaotic situation in the palace would be calmed down by the handsome young man in front of him.
"King, Shan Yu Mogan brought news. The deputy next to him handed him a handwritten letter.
Tuoba Fox didn't even look at it, and said coldly: "Hmph, at this time, he just wants to use the power in my hands." β
The official behind him said with a pensive expression: "Great King, even if the Great Jing Dynasty is in civil strife, its strength is still not to be underestimated. β
The young man stood tall in front of the window and said, "How many soldiers and horses do you think they can have?"
The official pondered for a moment and said, "It is estimated that there must be a million soldiers and horses, but now that they are scattered everywhere, it is difficult to estimate how much they can mobilize. β
"Su Xin dared to let Huo Ziqian go south, which is enough to show that he has enough soldiers and horses in his hands. But... Soldiers and horses are soldiers and horses, and grain and grass are grain and grass. Tuoba said, narrowing the fox's eyes.
The official behind him hurriedly said: "What do you mean...... Burn grain and grass?"
Tuoba Fox glanced at him faintly: "Hmph! The beauty of burning grain and grass, this winter, it is not enough for you to waste those fierce fire oils! Just over there, you will reply that everything is waiting for him to act...... He wants to take the blame for us, and he thinks too naΓ―ve, let him spend it himself!"
"Yes, yes!" the official nodded busily. Tuoba Fox continued: "As for those grain and grass ......" The official quietly leaned over his head, and after listening to his own king's words, he narrowed his eyes appreciatively.
......
The last county with the highest concentration of refugees is Xicheng.
Su Kang dressed up as Huo Ziqian, the masked man sat on the horse's back, and the deputy next to him read out the 'false holy decree'...
This is the last stop, but I didn't expect Su Kang to hit a wall.
When the crowd gathered around Xicheng heard this holy decree, they immediately said in an uproar: "Impossible! Doctor Lu said that even if he dies, he will not easily give up anyone's life, I heard that General Huo is going south with 200,000 soldiers and horses, dare to ask where the 200,000 soldiers and horses are now?"
Su Kang narrowed his eyes dangerously: "What, are you planning to disobey the king's orders?"
"It's not that we disobey the royal order, but ......" The people hugged together, resisting Su Kang's thoughts.
The Xicheng County Commander, who had witnessed Lu Chuan diagnosing the disease and saving people, also looked incredulous: "General Huo, dare to ask where the divine doctor is now? Since he can save everyone the first time, why can't he be saved the second time? We have to wait for the divine doctor to come before we can die!"
Someone in the crowd immediately chimed in: "The county commander is right, we have to wait for the divine doctor!"
"Wait for the miracle doctor!"
"Wait for the miracle doctor!"
Under the silver mask, Su Kang's face was pale, and his rough long whip rattled in the air, and finally slapped the crowd with a loud bang: "Shut up! Are you waiting for the villain to rebel? This is an order issued by the emperor himself! Liu Qing! If you dare to take the lead in disobeying the order as a small county official, aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish you for the nine clans!"
Liu Qing, who was named, knelt on the ground, wearing only a washed-out official robe, which was empty and swaying in the gale. The eyes that had been sluggish and unfocused due to the lack of food for several days rolled with difficulty.
He had a seventy-year-old mother and a pregnant wife and children. But he has thousands of people in Xicheng!
How could he be willing to let these fresh lives be sent to the hands of his son like this and be trampled on!
Hearing Su Kang's threatening words, the crowd fell silent, and no one wanted to see Liu Xianling's family killed by thieves.
"Lord Liu is a good official that is rare in a century!"
"We can't let Lord Liu be affected by us...... someone in the crowd murmured silently.
At this critical moment, Liu Xianling stood up, his face was calm and resolute, and he said loudly: "People eat wolves, wolves eat people, Cheng County Lieutenant - raise troops!"
The desperate people grabbed the sand and gravel on the ground and threw it forward, and the rotten eggs also made Su Kang's face paste, Cheng County Lieutenant had already led the troops to wait for a long time, although the county soldiers were only a thousand people, but they were not unarmed ordinary people, if Su Kang gnawed hard, it would take time not to say, and he would still gnaw.
A thousand people surrounded the hundred and ten people beside Su Kang.
The archers took turns, and Su Kang and the others did not have a shield, so they could only use the sword in their hands to block. Ping Pong A rain of arrows fell, and the soldiers behind Su Kang suffered less than twenty casualties.
During this period, there were also people living upstairs in Xicheng who poured a basin of boiling water with their hands......
Su Kang's men were beaten and fell into the water, and they could only flee in embarrassment. Su Kang was furious, glanced at Liu Qing with a gloomy look, and vowed to take his life sooner or later.
Let's talk about Huo Ziqian, he lagged behind Su Kang for almost two years, and when he went down to Qinling that night, he led his troops to stay outside the gate of Yangxian County. The people who went to find out the news went to the gate of Yangxian with Lu Chuan.
