"Don't talk to me about those false things, and don't talk to me about those nonsense truths, I'm not a saint, so I can't pay attention to so much. I've been with you all the way, and until now, I don't know what you've arranged. You should tell me your plan quickly, lest I feel unsteady and unable to sleep. ”

Ji Xue glared at Wang Mang viciously, and then stroked the hair that was messed up by Wang Mang with her hand, "Wang Mang, I warn you for the eighteenth time, you'd better not mess with me, don't take advantage of me, and don't think anything wrong about me, otherwise I will definitely want you to look good." ”

Wang Mang completely ignored her weak warning, pinched her chin and said: "There is an essential difference between women and men, if you are still so strong, you will definitely not be able to marry in the future, and there is no man in the world who will marry a woman who does not understand tenderness." As for the battle plan, you can guess for yourself, I don't have the good intention to explain it to you. ”

"Hmph, it's my business whether I marry or not, what does it have to do with you." Himeyuki.

Wang Mang's mouth moved up and down, and he muttered secretly: "Of course this has something to do with me, you will follow me Jingyan in the future, if you take her badly, what will I do?" I don't want to see Silent Smoke become like you. I have to take advantage of this good opportunity to train you well and let you know what a real woman is. ”

Of course, although he thought so, he did not dare to say it.

He could predict that if he said his purpose now, maybe Ji Xue would run away in a bad mood.

"Mr. Murong, I beg you to spend more time these days to determine the path of the flying pigeon's book. We're going to stay here for a while until we're sure everything is in order. In this communication path, the carrier pigeon must not deviate from the predetermined direction in the slightest, and we must eliminate any hidden dangers to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang." Mr. Murong said.

"Alright, let's go."

"Where are you going?" Ji Xue asked.

"Go and join the army." Wang Mang said: "The army I sent earlier has been stationed here for a long time, and now we should also go and meet them, so that they will not be in a hurry." ”

"The army? Do you have a large army stationed here? Ji Xue exclaimed, "What are you sending troops here for?" Although this place was the former holy place of the Huns, they did not attack it now. ”

Ji Xue was puzzled and very puzzled.

In her opinion, at present, the main force of the Xiongnu army is all in Dingxi Pass, and it is thousands of miles away from Dingxi Pass. She thinks that Wang Mang's deployment of troops here has no effect at all.

Wang Mang said with a smile: "Mountain people have their own clever plans, and the heavenly secret must not be revealed." Ji Xue, just take a good look. Although I do not intend to completely exterminate all the Huns, I will still teach them a lesson that will last a lifetime. ”

Ji Xue said: "Okay, I'll see how you defeat the Huns." Of course, I have to warn you in advance, if you mess around and put the safety of hundreds of thousands of troops in Xiguan at risk, then I will really kill you. ”

----

Back to seven or eight days ago, he said that after Wang Mang sent someone to pass on the matter of the spy to Liu Zhi in Dingxi Guan, Liu Zhi began to arrange the arrangement according to the clever plan left by Wang Mang.

In a flash, three days passed, and he had already taken care of all the details.

On the fourth day, he put on his battle robe and personally led the main generals of the various armies to climb the Dingxi Guancheng Tower to supervise the battle.

The moat of Dingxi Pass is extremely tall, hundreds of zhang, looking from afar, like an unshakable fortress.

In front of this city, there is a moat that is dozens of zhang wide and dozens of zhang deep, which firmly guards the city and makes this city tower foolproof.

As for the place in front of the moat, there is a vast prairie that stretches as far as the eye can see.

On this steppe, more than 300,000 Xiongnu soldiers were stationed.

The Xiongnu Dadan Yu knew that this pass was the last and most defensive gateway to Kyushu. As long as this place is breached, there will be no problems in the future. No one could stop him from waving his army south to annex Kyushu.

Therefore, even though he knew that the city was impregnable and the defenders were sufficient, he still made people attack day and night, consuming the strength of the Han army's defense and undermining the confidence of the Han army.

After Liu Zhi led the generals to the city, the soldiers defending the city became excited, shouting one after another, and were greatly encouraged.

Finally, they finally saw that the senior commander of their side was going to fight the Huns, and they could finally get rid of the hat of the shrunken turtle. The occurrence of this situation made them burst into tears and their morale was high.

Liu Zhi waved his hand at the soldiers and shouted: "Soldiers, be quiet, and quiet, I have a few words to say to you." ”

When the soldiers defending the city heard the words, they immediately held their breath, pricked up their ears, and listened to Liu Zhixun's words.

Liu Zhi saw that everyone was quiet, and said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we came here from all over Kyushu more than a month ago to fight to the death with the Xiongnu and avenge the soldiers who died in the previous battle and the people who were slaughtered. However, in the past month, we have not moved, and we have not fought the Huns head-on once, like turtles with shrunken heads.

For this matter, I know that everyone has a lot of resentment in their hearts, thinking that we are greedy for life and afraid of death, and dare not fight against the Huns. Here, I want to clarify that this is not a greed for life and fear of death. Instead, we have been following Lord Wang's instructions to arrange various major military events, dispatch troops, and military salaries, food and grass.

Now, after more than a month of preparation, we have also made complete preparations for all major events. Therefore, Lord Wang issued a supreme general order three days ago to start a real battle with the Huns.

Today was the first battle, and Lord Wang wanted to come and cheer in person. It's just that Lord Wang has been thinking about the battle plan day and night, which has caused the wind and cold to enter his body and become unwell, so he can't come to help in person, and I hope you can understand this. Lord Wang said that the current strength of the Xiongnu is just a return to the light, and it is completely inadequate. ....”

"Lord Wang will win, and the Han will be mighty...."

The defenders of the city raised their swords and shouted loudly.

Banners hunted in the wind, swords flashed coldly in the dance.

"Drums, cheers...," one of the commanders shouted.

At the sound of the order, the city drum soldiers waved the drumsticks in their hands and beat the drum surface vigorously.

Knock knock, knock knock.

The drums beat for a long time.

Suddenly, the dull and solemn drum beat shook the nine heavens and ten earths, like divine thunder, spreading thousands of miles away.

After the Xiongnu army stationed dozens of miles away in front of the city heard the drums and shouts of the Han army, they were also inexplicably excited, and they all geared up and prepared to do a big job.

Xiongnu Shan Yu in the royal court in the rear, when he heard the rumor that Wang Mang planned to fight to the death with him, he still didn't believe it.

Later, after his continuous investigation, he found that the Han army was really gathering troops and making preparations for the whole army, so he believed this, and urgently mobilized all kinds of troops, gathered together, and wanted a big battle.

Therefore, when he saw that Liu Zhi sent someone to deliver the war book, he did not hesitate and took it quickly.
