Chapter 478: Sending a Letter to Negotiate, A Ten-Day Covenant (I)
The main city of Weiwu Pass!
Since when Da Dan Yu ordered all the soldiers and horses of Baiyin Pass to withdraw to Weiwu Pass, so far in the entire Gansu territory, except for this Weiwu Pass, there is no other pass with a Hun soldier.
Thinking back a few months ago, Da Dan Yu led more than 400,000 allied troops from various countries to fight in Guanxi, killing 15 princes, slaughtering millions of Li people, and exterminating more than 100,000 Han troops, which was fierce and powerful.
Then he continued to wave his division south, drove straight in, broke through the Yumen Pass, the first pass in the world, and pointed at the Central Plains. Eighteen passes were captured overnight, and the situation of the Han Dynasty was in danger, and the princes were terrified.
But in less than half a year, the Hun army has lost more than 100,000 troops, and they have made every effort to shrink their forces to the mighty pass, and they are at the end of the road, like a trapped beast.
Whenever Da Shan Yu and many senior Xiongnu generals thought of this situation, they were bitter in their hearts and regretted it very much.
However, no matter how much they regret it, there is no regret medicine in this world after all, and they can't start over.
The back road was cut off, and the Yumen Pass was lost, which gave Da Shan Yu a heavy blow and basically extinguished Da Shan Yu's ambitions.
"The left king, the right king, have the soldiers and horses been settled?" Da Danyu sat on the throne, his face was serious, and he was very cold. Not at all like a man who is about to be defeated, but like a victorious general, with great power and confidence.
As Da Danyu, the head of the alliance of all countries, his words and deeds affect all the people around him. Therefore, even if he is in a desperate situation, he must not show any pessimism, and must always maintain an optimistic attitude. Only in this way can he be called a qualified commander-in-chief and be able to bring confidence and strength to his allies.
"Qi Da Danyu, since the early morning of last night, other passes in Gansu, except for some spies and those insignificant personnel, there is no soldier, all gathered at Weiwu Pass. However, many soldiers complained a lot in their hearts, and their morale was slightly unstable. It seems that they do not understand your arrangement, and think that we should fight to the death with the Han army and never back down. ”
"It's normal for them to complain. However, as a big man, I can't be rash, and I can't ignore the situation in the royal court behind us. We, like the Han army, can't afford to lose. Even the Han army is a little better than us, after all, they are numerous and have sufficient heritage. And we, once we fail, or lose too many troops, it will bring unimaginable disasters. ”
Da Shan Yu said coldly: "Although we basically have no chance of turning the tables this time, I am also ready to go south next time." At present, in Yizhou, I have arranged some back-up hands, ready to meet our next move south. Of course, we also need to pay attention to these side details for the time being, and just slowly manage the scheme.
Now that all of our forces are concentrated in the Weiwu Pass, I can also start to implement the plan and return to the royal court with you and the rest of the army.
This time we went south, in general, in fact, we still won, because we only lost more than 100,000 troops, and the Han army, including the previous fifteen princes, they totaled more than 350,000. Therefore, you need not be discouraged, although we are still glorious, we still have a one-in-10,000 hope that we can turn the tables back. ”
The first advisor of the big order, Carondo, asked, "Your Majesty, I wonder how you plan to carry out your plan, and how do you want us to do it?" ”
"It's very simple, just send two letters out." Da Shan Yu said coldly: "A few days ago, there were some contradictions in the Han army in Lanzhou Pass, and I don't know if Wang Mang will not go to preside over the overall situation in person." Therefore, at present, we do not know where Wang Mang is. Carondo, you will later take my handwritten letter to our rear Jinchang Pass.
If Wang Mang is in Jinchang Pass, then you will give him the letter. If he is not there, then you can give the letter to their supreme commander, and let the commander forward it to Wang Mang.
Kiss, you hold another handwritten letter from me and rush to Baiyin Pass. If Wang Mang is in Baiyinguan, you give him the letter. If not, then give the letter to their supreme commander, and let him pass it on to Wang Mang. The two letters are the same and say the same thing. After Wang Mang saw it, our army had its own arrangements. ”
"Deliver a letter?"
Buld, the overseer of the Yue Clan, asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know what the mystery of this letter is?" Can you tell us a little bit about it? ”
Da Shan Yu said: "This letter is nothing, it's just that I want to negotiate with Wang Mang and limit him to ten days." In the middle of the Weiwu Pass and the Baiyin Pass, there is a plain, which is very vast and boundless, and can be stationed hundreds of millions of soldiers.
Ten days later, I will be there, and I will have final negotiations with Wang Mang. This negotiation is about our ultimate fate. As for the details of the negotiations, you will know when the time comes. ”
"Negotiations? What if he doesn't? ”
"He won't agree? Hahaha, hahaha, does he dare not agree? Prisoner Niu replied instead of Da Danyu: "Lord Brad, Wang Mang may refuse some of the demands we have made in the negotiations, but he will definitely not dare to refuse the negotiations. In other words, he didn't have a choice.
If in the end, he made a desperate bet, regardless of the safety of Kyushu, the life and death of the Han people, and his own name as a saint. Then we have nothing to say, lead all the soldiers and horses, and fight them thoroughly. When the time comes, success or failure, life and death, all depend on the will of God. ”
"Well, listen to you, General. Whether we can return to the royal court safe and sound this time depends on how Wang Mang decides? ”
"That's right. But don't worry, I forgive Wang Mang for having ten thousand guts, and he won't dare to fight with us, so he will obediently get out of the way and let us return to the royal court. The reason why we want to talk to him now is really to fight for that slightest chance to turn the tables. ”
"I see!" Many generals seemed to have guessed something, and a smile appeared on their faces, and they were very reassured.
After talking to everyone for a while, Da Shan Yu picked up two letters from the table and handed them to Kiss and Carondo respectively. "You two can leave now, go and return quickly, don't delay."
"Yes, Your Majesty, my subordinates will go and deliver the letter." The two of them each took a letter and walked out of the chamber.
Da Dan Yu said to the other overseers: "Ladies and gentlemen, if our army is withdrawn to the royal court, I wonder what arrangements you will make?" Will you continue to form an alliance with me? ”
"This, we can't be the master, we need to give it to Your Majesty." The Overseers replied.
Da Shan Yu asked again: "What if after the peace is negotiated, Wang Mang is afraid of the combat strength of my Huns, and does not dare to raise troops to fight, but wants to raise troops to fight against you?" I think that among our forces, except for my Huns, who have the ability to fight the entire Han head-on alone, you don't have this strength, right?
When you have returned to your kingdom later, I hope you will be able to talk to your majesty about this. I am willing to form an eternal alliance with your majesty. One falls, one wins.
Of course, if your king is unwilling, I will not force it. All in all, our alliance is quite passable, and there is nothing unpleasant, and nothing has happened that harms our families. I can almost tell that after we have all withdrawn our troops and horses, Wang Mang should continue to lead the crusade. ”
"We know that if nothing else, our king will continue to form an alliance with His Majesty to defend against the enemy. After all, our lips are cold and our teeth are cold, and we are unilaterally facing the big man, after all, our strength is weaker. Only when we are together can we have enough ability to compete with the big man. ”
"Well, that's for the best."
