Chapter 681: A Tripartite Alliance
Hu Chuquan, the leader of the Southern Xiongnu located north of Bingzhou, was blindsided after receiving Yuan Shao's formal invitation to the alliance.
It's really joy to fall from the sky, and he didn't do anything, Yuan Shao actually wanted to form a formal alliance with him, and all the areas north of Youzhou were assigned to him. Of course, this is only in name, and Hu Chuquan doesn't care about this, but the conditions after that make Hu Chuquan very excited.
Yuan Shao promised to increase his trade with him and provide him with some material support, including the scarcest grain and iron tools in the Southern Xiongnu.
One Han is the five Hu, is it really just a personal reason that there is so much difference in the combat power between the Han army and the Hu people? In fact, the physical fitness of the Han people is even worse than that of the Hu people, even if you count the discipline of the military formation and other reasons, the difference in combat power between the two sides is at most about one to two or one to three. The reason why there is so much difference in the fight is that the difference in weapons is the main reason.
Among the Southern Huns, an ordinary steel knife was enough for two horses. Because the Southern Xiongnu basically did not have the ability to build weapons, they all relied on the smuggling of the Han people, and mostly used wooden guns, bone arrows and the like. The Han people's wariness of aliens has never disappeared, and even Liu Yu did not relax the restrictions on iron tools. But I didn't expect this taboo to be broken by Yuan Shao.
"Shan Yu, my emperor is sincerely allied with you, but I don't know what Shan Yu wants?" Guo Tu said in a slightly unruly tone.
When Hu Chuquan heard this, he nodded hurriedly and said: "Such the best of both worlds, there is no reason to refuse." Please also rest assured that Emperor Zhao will definitely try his best to watch the Chu army in Liaodong. However, after several defeats in the Southern Xiongnu, the situation is now very critical. I also hope that Emperor Zhao can help vigorously and support more grain, grass and ordnance. ”
When Guo Tu heard this, the disdain on his face became even worse, and he said slightly frivolously: "If you are alone, you will bring it to my emperor, so I will leave." ”
After a slight salute, he turned around and left, without giving Hu Chuquan the slightest face.
The many patriarchs of the Southern Xiongnu standing on both sides of the tent saw Guo Tu's eyes full of anger, but none of them dared to stand up. Hu Chuquan, who was sitting on the main seat, also had an extremely ugly face, clasped his hands and didn't dare to say a word.
No way, after several major wars, the Southern Xiongnu completely recognized the reality. In front of the Han people, they are nothing at all, and can only be at the mercy of each other. Whether it was Yuan Shao, who drove them out of the state with a slight move before, or Gongsun Zhan, who directly overthrew Sanhu in the north in a battle, he was extremely afraid. Especially in the previous battle of the boundary bridge, they were almost not qualified to participate in it, and they were playing soy sauce for the whole game.
In the past, the reason why they were able to wreak havoc in Bingzhou for so many years was entirely because of the corruption within the Han Dynasty. If it was true, even the ten Southern Huns would have been wiped out. The gap between the two sides made the Southern Xiongnu completely succumb to reality at this time.
Dignity? What is that? Can you eat it? I'm so weak, no matter what, it's good to be alive. How good it is to be a wall grass, you look at the Xianbei who came out at the beginning, and now the weeds on the grave are three feet tall.
Look at the present, the northern grasslands are directly empty, and their Southern Xiongnu have become the third master of the grassland after the Northern Xiongnu and Xianbei without much effort. Of course, this master of the steppe has a bit of water, and it is completely the hegemony of tigers and monkeys in the mountains, but this is also an undeniable fact. They relied on the shameless spirit to survive to the end and became the biggest beneficiaries.
"Shan Yu, although it is a good thing that Yuan Shao has formed an alliance with us, I am afraid that the Chu army in Liaodong will be difficult to deal with!" After Guo Tu left, one of the leaders of the Southern Xiongnu said.
"Yes! At the beginning, we also fought with the Chu army in the first battle of Wolf Juxu, and the combat strength of the Chu army at that time was by no means under the Youzhou Iron Cavalry. Another song was fearful.
The other leaders nodded their heads as well. Zhang Liao's performance really frightened them at the beginning, they didn't know that Zhang Liao's state was special at that time, and they thought that it was Zhang Liao's normal level.
At the beginning, with 10,000 cavalry against hundreds of thousands of troops, such a huge disparity in strength directly made Zhang Liao in a super state and his combat power soared. But that kind of state is basically unavoidable, except for the northern alien race, where can you find the existence of such a large number of horses with average combat power? The Jiangdong soldiers under the command of the scum power of the Battle of Xiaoyaojin are also more elite than that.
"I know that. Our current strength is not at all the opponent of the Chu army, and I don't plan to go head-to-head with the Chu army. Hu Chuquan said lightly. His heart is no longer a day or two, and it is not clear who is present. But it was by virtue of his heart that he took the Southern Xiongnu all the way to today, and most of the tribal leaders present were people like him. After all, the backbone has long been wiped out by the previous wars, and all that remains are soft bones.
"Then what if Yuan Shao asks us?"
"Send more scouts, and notify Yuan Shao as soon as they find out about the situation. Wouldn't it be better for us to send some more troops to wander around Liaodong and pretend to attack? Hu Chuquan didn't care and said, "How could Yuan Benchu not know our strength? Besides, what if he knew? Does he dare to turn his face on us? ”
Hu Chuquan is extremely confident in this point, their Southern Huns are indeed scumbags of combat power, but they have strong survivability! If you are in a hurry, it is a big deal to flee west and north, and Yuan Shao will not be able to catch up even if he is crazy. The grasslands were not attractive to the Han people at all, and the cold of the north was not suitable for the Han people. Without interests, how could Yuan Shao attack them? This is also the way they have always survived the Southern Huns.
"At this opportunity, we have to do our best to strengthen ourselves. Now you can see the situation of the Han people, although they are divided, but they are still not something we can match, no matter how much we can observe words and colors, it is impossible to be lucky this time. Your own strength is the key, during this time, you don't want to conflict with me, and don't conflict with the Han people, you all go all out to buy iron tools and arm your sons. Hu Chuquan admonished.
"Yes, Shan Yu."
......
Now that Yuan Shao, who has solved the big problem in his heart, he has focused all his eyes on Yuan Shu, and the real alliance with the Southern Xiongnu is only the first step. Almost at the same time, two groups of envoys set off from Yecheng to Qingzhou and Yanzhou.
After several exchanges, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei soon reached an agreement and established a close alliance to fight against Yuan Shu together.
There is no way, as time goes by, some of the information under Yuan Shu's command is gradually exposed. Da Chu's current strength and combat potential were enough to make Cao Cao and Liu Bei feel desperate, and even Yuan Shao was also extremely powerful. Even if it was a tripartite alliance, they did not have the certainty of being able to defeat Yuan Shu, and as for the elimination, it was even more impossible. A single Yangtze River pier alone was enough to make them desperate, and their goal was only to force Yuan Shu back to the south and reclaim the three northern states.
After Yuan Shu got the news, he was also a little melancholy in his heart. The situation he least wanted to see still appeared, and the three heroes were forced to unite to deal with him because of the situation. But now he has an absolute advantage, so although he is a little unhappy, he has not much to worry about.
Step by step, seizing the opportunity and pressing the general trend to this day, the strength under his command has allowed Yuan Shu to ignore any situation. The union of Yuan Shao and the other three only made him feel more troublesome, and it didn't bring her much of a threat.
After the Quad decided on diplomatic relations and objectives, they did not immediately launch military operations, but developed even more frantically.
