Chapter 33: The Frontline
On the front line, there is a shortage of soldiers.
War is an adjective, not used to describe what is happening on the front. In fact, more often than not, there is a shortage of soldiers, and the horses are not in chaos. These war horses have been trained, and some old horses have seen too much life and death. Such horses are much more powerful than people.
Now the front line is dead, the situation is tense, and every day both sides are arranging troops. It's just that it's winter, and the supplies from both sides haven't really arrived. Everyone wants to fight when they are full, so no one is fighting now.
After staying on the front line for so long, it was almost spring, and Chen Ziyuan was helpless.
He doesn't want to drag it out now, the farther away from the capital, the farther away from the political center. There are no people around Chen Ziyuan who can really be trusted, what can these people do, and what they will do in the capital, Chen Ziyuan dare not think.
So he was actually eager to end this fight, and when it was over, he would be able to go back. If this war cannot be concluded within half a year, Chen Ziyuan can only end hastily.
He can't leave for too long, and if he leaves for a long time, he can't go back.
There has been no major movement on the Xiongnu side, and after the last negotiation, some leaders of the Xiongnu were like steaming.
In fact, the last failure was only because Chen Ziyuan did not want to succeed. He put forward some conditions, not many, but each of them would make it very difficult for the Huns. Such a condition is completely a gamble, if you win, you will make a big profit, and if you lose, you will lose. Chen Ziyuan is just losing, because he has the capital to lose.
But now the road in front of Chen Ziyuan, the most difficult thing is that the Xiongnu do not go to war, and they cannot take the initiative to go to war. It will take at least a month to wait until the winter has passed before this battle can be fought.
It was a total of six months, and one of them passed like this, which was a bit wasteful.
The leader of the Xiongnu is now far from Chen Zi, but he can see him every day. This person is Chu Xiao.
In addition to Chu Xiao, there is also Jiang Han. The two men met with the king of the Huns and talked about many things.
The people of the Huns cannot be called kings, and it is really powerful for such a nomadic people to show such a strong appearance. As for his title, it was only after Chu Xiao asked for a long time that this person dared to say it. The chat was very pleasant, and the conversation was about the alliance.
The Xiongnu are now turning to the Shenwu Kingdom for help, and the Shenwu Kingdom is also happy to ask for such help. It can be said that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and now no one can do without anyone. So at this time, the Xiongnu took the initiative to come, and it was easy for the two groups of people to get together.
But that's just a thought.
Every country has its own difficulties, and Shenwu is no exception. Whether it is an alliance now, whether it is a real alliance, whether it will send troops after the alliance, and how much energy it will take, all need to be considered.
Therefore, after the people of the two sides talked, there were no promises to the Huns. Jiang Han said it very tactfully, so tactful that he couldn't find any flaws.
The king of the Xiongnu went back like this, and he couldn't have been here because the Shenwu Kingdom had no substantial recovery. He also knew in his heart that it was impossible for the Shenwu Kingdom to have any other thoughts about his proposal.
After all, unless two nations perish together, there is nothing else to do.
For Shenwu Kingdom, there are many reasons why it cannot be agreed directly. One of the most important is the economy.
Now part of the economy of Shenwu Kingdom comes from Datang, and all kinds of imports and exports make Shenwu Kingdom dare not cut off contact with Datang. Once it is broken, it will affect the country for a while. Even if you can survive, you will have to suffer many blows.
There is another one, that is, Chen Ziyuan has made a promise not to fight the Shenwu Kingdom. With this promise, Shenwu Kingdom also received something.
It was a gift from Datang, which made Shenwu Kingdom feel at ease. Now that these things have been taken, they can't be raked backwards now.
Of course, this is not the same as Shenwu Kingdom watching the Xiongnu and the Tang Dynasty fight. They must think about the strength of their help, the Huns cannot be destroyed, and the Tang Dynasty cannot be destroyed. For the Shenwu Kingdom, the longer the two sides are at war, the better, and it is most beneficial for the Shenwu Kingdom to drag on like this.
Therefore, Shenwu Kingdom must think clearly about how to help, how to help, and how strong. None of these things can be answered directly now.
On the whole, things are now unfolding faster than Jiang Han thought. The current Shenwu Kingdom clone lacks skills, and there are too many things to deal with.
In addition to the exchanges with the Xiongnu, the ambitions of the Shenwu Kingdom were greater. The ambition is great, and there are more things to do.
Therefore, Duan He became a busy man.
The place where the meeting was near where Duan He was, it was indeed beneficial to do so, and everything was a lot more convenient. This Jiang Han ordered, and Duan He quickly received it.
He had to go a little further, closer to the border with the Xiongnu. There, help the Shenmu Kingdom to see where everything is going.
Duan He naturally wouldn't disobey orders, now that he was a member of the Shenwu Kingdom, he would definitely handle this matter well.
The first person to be dispatched by the Shenwu Kingdom was Duan He.
On Datang's side, Chen Ziyuan frowned.
In front of him was the Ling Feng who had just gotten it.
Ling Feng is now Chen Ziyuan's main figure, and Chen Ziyuan talks to him in secret like this. Just like Chen Ziyuan thought, there are not many people around him who can be trusted.
"I want some news." Chen Ziyuan said.
This sentence was very tactful, and Ling Feng still directly heard the meaning of Chen Ziyuan's words. As a subordinate, you must be able to think of what he wants to do in a moment.
With so many years of experience, in addition to Ling Feng's extraordinary courage, there is also this kind of extraordinary thinking.
"The last general is willing to take 500 people and go directly to the camp around the place." Ling Feng said solemnly.
Chen Ziyuan nodded, he was very satisfied, this kind of reaction was the reaction he wanted.
After that, Ling Feng went to the back and ordered five hundred people.
It is said that there are 500 people, but in fact it is about 500 people. The specific number is only clear to Ling Feng. These people under him were given to him by Chen Ziyuan, that is, his own death squad.
Such a group of people were sent out together, in fact, Ling Feng already had a small plan. Originally, it was not necessary for a bunch of people to go out together to find out the so-called news. Ling Feng said this, just to find a step down for himself. Once Chen Ziyuan thought about it and understood that he didn't want to take all the five hundred people out, he would not be able to go now.
Frankly speaking, Ling Feng didn't want to go to the so-called inquiry. The news that Chen Ziyuan wants now is nothing more than whether there is any abnormality in the rear of the Xiongnu, and the movement of the Shenwu Kingdom. Now that he has gone, he is the common enemy of Shenwu and the Xiongnu. Shenwu Kingdom will not come forward openly, but it is very likely that he will secretly stab himself.
