Chapter 145: There is a long way to go
Two days later, Zhaojun left Dragon City with his son in his arms.
Geng Xiaofan asked the little monkey to stay by her side, and he had already planned it.
The so-called inspection is nothing more than going through the motions, and the destination he chose for Zhaojun's sister was Fort Willow Springs. In any case, let my sister leave this "place of right and wrong" first.
"Shan Yu, now you have to do a few things." Geng Xiaofan sent his sister away and began to plan for the resumption of the plant.
"First, immediately send someone to the Han to report the situation in Shuo Fang and ask them to take precautions."
"It's gone."
"Good! Second, Yale was strictly ordered not to act rashly, otherwise there would be no mercy! At the same time, gather elite cavalry and be ready to crusade against Yale at any time. ”
Fu Zhuti frowned, "Then what about Mi Xu?" ”
"I will give me an edict, and I will personally go to see and Mi Xu, tell him to withdraw his troops back to the clouds, and keep his duty, and I may even persuade him to send a large army to fight against Yale with you."
"What edict do you want?" Fu Zhu was a little excited, if Geng Xiaofan was so sure, then the crisis in front of him would really be solved all at once.
"Feng and Mi Xu as the king of Zuoxian, announced as your successor!" Geng Xiaofan said word by word.
"This ......"
"Brother to brother, brother and brother is not also the practice of your Huns?" Geng Xiaofan chuckled lightly and glanced meaningfully at Fu Zhu.
"Everything is up to General Geng." Fu Zhuti suddenly understood, and it was natural to give his younger brother this title and promise. And, now give, is the best time! Besides, after passing the current hurdle first, will there be any variables in the future, who can say?
Geng Xiaofan didn't say much more, with the edict of resuming his tiredness, he chased after Zhaojun, and he wanted to "escort" his sister for a ride.
"Xiaofan, what did you do? Are we just leaving the Huns? Zhaojun sat in the car and hugged his son and asked with some concern.
"Hmmm! I'm going to take my sister home. However, I promised that when he was tired, I would help him resolve the crisis in front of him first. Therefore, the aggrieved sister will go to Liuquan Fort to stay for a few days first, and when I finish dealing with these things, we can enter the customs with confidence. ”
Geng Xiaofan stroked the little master who was sleeping in Zhaojun's arms, with a relaxed expression.
"How do you help him?" Zhaojun is still not at ease.
"I will persuade and persuade Mi Xu, at this time, I should take into account the overall situation, and I can't brother the wall, and do things that make relatives hurt and enemies happy. I think he should be okay with that. Geng Xiaofan said, and took the edict of Shan Yu in his arms to Zhaojun.
"Hmmm! Xiaofan, tell him well. The Xiongnu people have just settled down for a few years, and they can't be chaotic anymore. Hey, isn't it good for everyone to be amiable? Why do you have to fight and kill! After reading the edict, Zhaojun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Power! A lot of people think power is a good thing, but they only see one side of it. As everyone knows, power is a double-edged sword, and if you don't use it well, you will hurt yourself. ”
Geng Xiaofan smiled, isn't the history of China's feudal society a history of power struggle? But how many sacrifices are behind this, and how many gains outweigh the losses, the authorities may not be able to see clearly, but he, an outsider, can see it clearly.
It was the height of summer, the grass was abundant, and the road from Longcheng to Yunzhong should have been lively and busy, but because of the clouds of war, it seemed a little bleak.
Almost all of the young and middle-aged were conscripted into the army, and almost all the people left in the camp along the way were old, weak, sick and disabled. Occasionally, you can see some grain fields, which are ripe but not harvested.
Geng Xiaofan put down the curtain, he was a little sad and didn't want his kind sister to see this scene.
"Xiaofan, don't accompany me. You hurry to the clouds and be sure to stop the war. You see, no matter who is right and who is wrong, who wins and who loses, it is the common people who suffer in the end. Of course, Zhaojun saw the "misery" along the way, and she knew the priorities. Tsinghua
"Then, my sister must take care. Don't have to go too hard this way, just get to Willow Springs Fort. My father-in-law will be able to take care of you. Geng Xiaofan also knew the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and obediently said goodbye.
The city in the clouds, a famous city outside the Saiwai, has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. Both Han and Hungarian have been operating here for many years, and it can be said to be a veritable "military city".
Due to the special geographical location, the guards who have always guarded this place have not dared to be careless, and they are all trembling.
The current Hun guards and Mi Xu are also like this.
He is actually hesitating, about the current situation, the strategists around him have analyzed him very thoroughly, this is a "once-in-a-lifetime" good opportunity.
As long as Dragon City sends troops to attack Yale, he can force his brave and unscrupulous brother to abdicate within two days!
But how long it will take to defeat Dragon City, he is not sure. Moreover, is it really good to fight to the death with your own brother?
He had already received a rumor that the king was going to inspect the clouds on the right day, and he did not understand his brother's intentions. Is he coming to "clean up" himself? But how could he send a doll that was more than a year old? Even if the Ning Hu clan came and only brought a dozen personal guards, what were they going to do?
Just when he was at a loss, Geng Xiaofan answered his doubts.
He met Geng Xiaofan in the school field outside the city, where he was training cavalry.
"King Zuo Xian must think clearly, what do you want? There will be many avenues for this purpose, which one is the best one? Geng Xiaofan went straight to the point and directly handed over the edict to Mi Xu.
"The general is here to show me the way?" And after Mi Xu read the edict, he was already a little moved, but he still had to confirm it clearly.
"Sort of!"
"I've heard of General Geng's eloquence for a long time, why don't you let me see it first?" And Mi Xu put down the edict and pointed to the red and blue teams competing off the field, "The general will tell me, which of them will win?" ”
Geng Xiaofan had long found that the training method of the Huns was quite special, so he observed it carefully. After a while, he understood.
The training of the Huns was actually more like a game. Two teams of five riders, each from east to west, marched along their respective routes, passed several obstacles, crossed a small bridge, and fired at the target stacks set on the opposite bank. Whoever shoots first wins.
"It's a lot of fun." Geng Xiaofan smiled, "Does King Zuo Xian want to gamble with me?" ”
"General Geng is interested in the end, and this king is willing to accompany him."
"Nope! To lead the troops into battle, the important thing is to strategize, and charging into battle is only the business of the soldiers. Geng Xiaofan's riding skills are too poor, he is not sure to "defeat" this Hun prince at all, his specialty is "strategy", not "force".
"Oh, so how do we bet? Bet on who wins and loses? ”
"Let's each command a team, won't it be over if we win or lose?"
"Hehe, it seems that General Geng is confident!"
"Just try it!"
"Is it good for General Geng to command the blue team?"
"No problem!" Geng Xiaofan didn't care, although he had already seen that there was a gap in the strength of the red and blue teams, but he was not afraid.
"Good! The sons and daughters are fighting bravely to be the first, and those who come out on top will be rewarded with 100 sheep by the king! And Mi Xu came to the interest and commanded loudly.
Geng Xiaofan has already entered the blue team and started to "guide".
