Li Xuanji, the rear general of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Great Han Dynasty, looked at the person opposite with a gloomy face and listened to him tell in detail the latest situation of the battle ahead.

Several people present were his confidants. And the narrator with a somewhat embarrassed expression is Pang Xin, who surrendered to the Huns after the defeat.

Using the power in his hands to cut off the food and grass of the Red Fire Army in front of him, and burying this lone cavalry in the desperate land, Li Xuanji did not feel that it was a big deal in his heart. It's just a mere human life, and after he helps Shuyu Palace gradually cut off the queen's wings and completely stabilize his position, at that time, as a general, he naturally has a great opportunity and time to show his usefulness.

The war with the Huns was not something that could be resolved in a day or two, or a year or two. Li Xuanji always believed that it was very difficult for the Han Dynasty to completely defeat the Huns. Qin Shi Huang and the Great Qin army under him were so powerful, they only expelled the Xiongnu from the north. Not to mention that Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty was so embarrassed by the Huns.

The war and peace between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, staged intermittently, will surely exist for a long time, and this is a game that continues endlessly.

Li Xuanji had a great ambition in his heart, that is, he could secretly use the power of the Huns to help their Li family play an important role in the struggle for imperial power. The idea seemed impossible, but with clever planning, he was sure.

Because Li Xuanji understands very well what the Huns want. The reason why they continued to invade the Han Dynasty for many years was not because they wanted the land of the Central Plains, let alone because they wanted the country. All they want is to satisfy their inner greed. Money, wealth, the slave population, and all the necessities of life. As long as it satisfies them, they can use it for themselves!

As long as you can help the little prince of the Jade Palace replace the crown prince and become the prince of a country, then what does it matter if you agree to these conditions in advance? This was originally a matter of great joy for both sides to take what they needed, and the Huns had no reason to refuse at all. And for the Han Dynasty, there are wealthy people, even if they lose some every year, they don't care.

Of course, these ideas and plans are to be kept absolutely confidential. Especially under the majesty of today, it is even more necessary to do not leak a drop of water, and not to leak a little. As for the future after the succession of the throne...... What the situation was at that time, but it was still far away, so there was no need to think about it first.

However, the news heard one after another today made Li Xuanji feel very disappointed, and she was a little worried and panicked.

The first news he received from Chang'an was that the most hated Changle Marquis Yuanzhao had led a cavalry to the Western Regions.

Yuan Zhao, a person who had been regarded as the most dangerous enemy by the Li family siblings a long time ago. In their hearts, in addition to the emperor's intentions, Shuyu Palace wants to make a difference in the future, and the biggest obstacle and opponent is not Empress Wei Zifu and her younger brother Wei Qing, but Yuan Zhao!

The relationship between Yuan Zhao and Jianzhang Palace is too close. The reason why he was able to step into the palace and stand on the court was inseparable from the relationship between Jianzhang Palace and the crown prince. This man is obviously a staunch supporter of the Crown Prince's line, no matter what happens in the future.

And as his position and power grew more important, the danger of this person increased. The Li brothers all have a deep holiday with him, and if he doesn't find an opportunity to start in advance, then the future will definitely be a big trouble.

Therefore, when he heard the news that Yuan Zhao had come to the Western Regions earlier, Li Xuanji was both surprised and happy. Although this person is difficult to deal with, since he has come here, in this chaotic army, there are many opportunities to get rid of him. Li Xuanji immediately thought of using the power of the Huns.

It's just that before he could send someone to contact him again, his eldest brother Pang Xin fled back in a hurry, and brought back a shocking news.

The sixty or seventy thousand elite soldiers of the Hutu Wang Department in the western grassland of Weizhen for decades stepped out of the grassland for a lifetime, and before they could do anything, they were wiped out? It's unbelievable!

However, this is the case, and Li Xuanji and his henchmen cannot be unconvinced. After Pang Xin finished speaking with a disillusioned face, he looked at his brother-in-law, the general, who had always relied on his backbone, waiting for him to make an idea.

As a first-hand witness to the battle outside the city of Xiqiang King, Pang Xin saw the whole fierce process. However, as a general of the defeated army, he saw the opportunity quickly and already had the experience of escaping. In the midst of the chaos, he ran faster than everyone else.

After listening to the school, a few henchmen were already colorless. The things that were done under General Li's orders before, everyone knew very well in their hearts, that is, the great crime of treason and collaboration with the enemy! Once the news is leaked, the nine clans will die without a place to be buried.

However, it has come to this point, and it is too late to regret it. Everyone gathered around Li Xuanji, nervously waiting for the fate they were about to face.

"Don't be afraid. What are you nervous about? It's just that the Huns were defeated for a while, and we are only the rear army, and I am afraid that the credit for the victory will not be remembered by us. ”

Li Xuanji changed her face and pretended to say it easily. If you want to do big things, looking ahead and being timid are big no-nos.

"But, the general...... We have burned so much grain and grass that have been sent out, and once the Red Fire Army returns from a great victory, ......?"

"The terrain in the Western Regions is complicated, and the sergeants who escort the grain and grass lack guides, so it's normal to get lost! They may encounter storms and wolves when they carry food and hay...... Who would have thought of these accidents! ”

The henchmen looked up in surprise, some thought of something, and some looked surprised.

"General, you mean ......?"

"We have never been short of all the deliveries, nor have we been delayed. Who knows whether the former army has received it, the responsibility is not ours. Have you remembered them all? ”

"Yes, yes, yes......! The general was absolutely right. That's just the way it is. Hehe! ”

"But, General, the sergeants who are transporting them can't keep a lot of people, in case they ......?"

"You have never listened carefully to my words! You guys...... Didn't I say it all, the Western Regions is a ghost place, with a changeable climate and complex terrain, and there are many wolves, insects, tigers and leopards. Many sergeants died in order to ensure the supply of former soldiers......! ”

"Oh...... Understood, General! ”

can be trusted as a confidant to follow the people around him, and naturally they are also ambitious guys. The reason why they chose Li Xuanji was because they took a fancy to his unlimited future prospects, so they hugged this thigh in advance. There is no turning back from the bow! The ruthless methods in the army are not something that ordinary people can imagine.

There are some things that don't need to be said too clearly, and you already know how to do it. Li Xuanji just said lightly.

"This thing...... It must be done before Yuan Zhao arrives! ”

The generals and colonels were shocked in their hearts, thinking of the prestige and powerful methods of that Changle Hou, they didn't dare to slack off, glanced at each other, and were ordered to go their separate ways.

Some brutal massacres were carried out in the dark. All the sergeants who had participated in the transportation of grain and grass to carry out the burning mission were gathered separately, and without any defense, they were secretly executed by their former comrades, and then buried in the yellow sands of the Western Regions...... The soul sleeps, and there is nowhere to tell!

Noble and heroic, aggrieved and cowardly, impassioned battlefield death and worthless loss of life...... The weight of everyone's life is the same, but when placed in different contexts, they are very different, and they have different paths!

After doing these and eliminating the troubles, Li Xuanji secretly discussed with Pang Xin and his henchmen and worked out the next step. That is, to strive for the greatest possible, to incite the strength of the Huns, and to kill Yuan Zhao and the Red Fire Army in the Western Regions. If it is possible, even Wei Qing, who is confronting the Xiongnu outside Yanmen Pass, will be wiped out, then it will really be done once and for all.

After deliberation, they immediately went their separate ways. Li Xuanji sent two henchmen to the army of the Evil King and secretly informed them that Yuan Zhao had come to the Western Regions. And Pang Xin led people to rush back to Shan Yu Yi's evil army non-stop, and persuaded him to immediately attack the Weiqing Black Eagle Army with all his might, and when the time came, the superior forces were concentrated, and the two major battles were launched at the same time.

King Hutu has suffered such a heavy loss, the entire grassland will surely roar! Li Xuanji's prediction was actually not wrong at all.

Just when he sent flying cavalry to sneak to the Huns to report the military situation, the army of the Hun Evil King had already completed the preparations, and nearly 80,000 cavalry were pulled out, and the crowd was excited and angry.

The king of Hugh Tu, who fled in embarrassment, was miserable. There were only a thousand people left around him, and when he met the evil king who hurriedly rushed out to answer after hearing the news, he was already crying and falling to the ground, full of resentment.

Although the two kings each led their own tribes and had different spheres of influence, they were close to each other, not only did the two kings have had a good relationship for many years, but also the cavalry under them were no different from their own people. Even in the team of the Evil King, there are actually many warriors from the tribe of the King of Hugh. The two families are not separated from each other.

Shocked to hear such bad news, not to mention the feelings of the evil king, even all the Hun generals and their cavalry in the camp were in great shock, and their hearts were full of revenge and anger.

Needless to say! Since they are all steppe brothers, let's go and trample those damn Han soldiers like mud with scimitars and iron hooves!

The desolate horn sounded, and countless Huns were fully armed, with longbows in their hands, scimitars were bright, and within a radius of dozens of miles, the evil qi covered the clouds.

Just when the ten thousand horsemen burst out, the general of the Han army, who had contacted King Hutu, sent a messenger again, only one person and one horse, bringing sincerity of cooperation.

However, at such a time, King Hutu and King Hun naturally didn't have the time to pay attention to an ordinary Han soldier, so they casually let him follow behind, and go together to see the momentum of the Hun iron cavalry destroying everything!
