"Again, wait and see." Huan Fan said calmly, "Don't look at the Huns now united, advancing and retreating together, in fact, they are afraid of the general, if the general has been holding his troops still, the Huns will naturally have resentment and cause trouble." Therefore, the general only had to watch the fire from the other side, and when the Huns had civil strife, it was not too late to march again. ”

Cao Liang said: "Mr. said this half a year ago, and now that half a year has passed, there has been no movement, is it true that you have to wait so long?" ”

Huan Fan smiled and said: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, the disaster of the Huns began in the Qin period, and it has been four or five hundred years ago. ”

Cao Liang was silent, this is also, the Xiongnu for the Central Plains, it is not a few decades of time, since the Warring States Period, it has been a continuous southern invasion, harassing the Central Plains, otherwise Qin Shi Huang would not exhaust the world's financial resources to build the Great Wall, Qin Mingyue Han Shiguan, the Xiongnu long-term Xiongnu from the north, posing a considerable threat to the Central Plains Dynasty, the attack of both sides, each other has won and lost, until the north and south of the Xiongnu split, the rise of Xianbei, the Xiongnu can be regarded as a real decline.

After the Xiongnu moved south, many people thought that the Xiongnu gradually declined, not to be troubled, but only Cao Liang knew that the Xiongnu had the last madness, it was they who set off the prelude to the five Hu Chaohua, established the country, and destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty, but this is also the sunset elegy of the Huns, after reaching the peak of their race, the Huns were quickly wiped out by the Shile of the Xiongnu people, and completely disappeared in the long river of history.

Cao Liang didn't know if he had crossed over, whether the Huns had the peak this time, he had a chance to catch Liu Yuan, but in the end, when he broke through the Zi clan, he missed it.

Although the foundation of Liu Yuan's uprising has been destroyed, Cao Liang is not sure whether that scene of history will be repeated, and he is now doing his best to eliminate the catastrophe of the Han people, and Liu Yuan's escape makes him very worried.

Is the development of history accidental or inevitable? To what extent can a prominent historical figure change the course of history? Is what you do meaningful or futile?

Cao Liang fell into confusion......

With the return of spring to the earth and the revival of all things, the relaxed spirit of the Huns was tensed up again.

In winter, the weather is cold and freezing, and the march is not used to fight, so it is common sense to take a winter truce, but as the climate warms and the ice and snow melt, the Huns also began to worry that the Wei army would come to attack Jiuyuan, and became panicked.

The Huns' worries are not unreasonable, now Jiuyuan has become the last stronghold of the Huns, if once lost, they must not retreat to the outside of the Saiwai, but now the Saiwai has become the world of the Xianbei people, the reason why the Huns moved south, is because there is no place for them to stand outside the Saiwai, if they move to the outside of the Saiwai, it is bound to clash with the Xianbei people again, which is almost the last thing all the Huns want to see.

So they can only stick to Jiuyuan and hold the last hope of the Huns.

In the face of a huge sense of crisis, the Xiongnu ministries put aside their previous suspicions, put aside all contradictions, and united to the outside world.

This is not to say that there are no contradictions between them, the main reason is that under the threat of the Wei army, they can only temporarily suppress the contradictions and focus on the overall situation.

Once this crisis is gone, no one knows where the situation will go next.

Jiuyuan is not too far from Jinyang, the Huns will naturally often send scouts to Jinyang, to find out the reality of the Wei army, especially whether the Wei army is gathering troops, ready to invade Jiuyuan news, the most important, the Xiongnu several commanders have strictly ordered their subordinates to scout, once they find that the Wei army has a change, immediately report.

However, the news from Jinyang confirmed that the Wei army did not prepare for an attack, but instead sent a large number of troops to open up the wasteland and Tuntian, obviously having no intention of attacking Jiuyuan.

This news reached Jiuyuan, the Huns were secretly relieved, the most feared thing did not happen, it seems that the plan of the Wei army is to relieve the siege of Jinyang, as for the matter north of Jinyang, it will be given up for the time being.

Without the threat of the Wei army, the mentality among the various factions of the Xiongnu also changed.

Liu Teng, as the master of Jiuyuan, accepted so many other Xiongnu tribes' troops at once, at first, he didn't have any other ideas, after all, the enemy is at present, the more people participate in the defense of Jiuyuan, the maximum security of Jiuyuan can be guaranteed.

But when the Wei army did not come to attack, Liu Teng was a little disgusted, and the other four departments totaled tens of thousands of men and horses, and all the grain and grass expenses had to be paid by the northern Xiongnu, which was undoubtedly a heavy burden for the northern Xiongnu with a small scale and limited population.

In just half a year, the army of the four divisions ate the grain and grass that the northern Xiongnu had accumulated in the past two years, and if it continued at this rate, it would last for another year and a half at most, and the northern Xiongnu would be very likely to be eaten by them.

However, food and grass are only one aspect of the matter, and the other aspect is naturally a matter of single position.

When the five parts were divided, under the pressure of the Wei court, no one dared to talk about the position of Shan Yu, since the incident, the reset of Shan Yu's position is already an imminent matter, after all, if the Xiongnu want to become strong, they must take the route of unity and unification, which is the minimum consensus.

But who will be the new Shan Yu has never had a clear result.

Although Liu Teng had some ideas in his heart before, due to his strength, he could only stand aside, and the competition for the position was only between Liu Bao, the king of the left sage, and Liu Meng, the king of the right.

Liu Teng chose to befriend Liu Bao, thinking that Liu Bao was very likely to have a chance to ascend to the position of Shan Yu, and he could only compete for the vacant position of Zuo Xianwang.

Judging from the situation at the time, it was reasonable for Liu Teng to make this choice, after all, if he wanted to compete for Shan Yu's position, strength was quite important, and there was no strength to guarantee it, even if he sat on Shan Yu's position, it would be difficult to sleep and eat, for fear that others would calculate him in the back.

But the development of the situation was so unexpected, the powerful left Xiongnu and the right Xiongnu were successively broken by the Wei army, and the northern Xiongnu became the last remaining fruit of the Xiongnu.

In this context, if Liu Teng doesn't have any ideas, then he will really be in vain.
