"Brother to see brother, this expedition, brother and brother belong to two roads, I haven't seen him for a long time. Today, when I saw that my brother was as healthy as ever, my brother was very happy. ”

"Okay, okay, why are you starting to drop your bookbag too. Although our literary family is surnamed Wen, we are destined to be unable to produce literati. ”

In January 273, when Guan Yi fought with Du Pre in the southern part of Taiyuan County. Wen Yang led more than 7,000 Han cavalry and 10,000 Tuoba Xianbei cavalry south to Xihe County, and successfully joined forces with the troops led by Wen Hu and Liu Meng.

"Brother dares to leave the pioneer department at this time, and the matter of Tuoba Desert Khan has been arranged."

"Well, Si Wenling personally took action, and it was very beautiful."

After Wen Yang reported the meaning of Desert Khan to the top, Guan Yi transferred Lu Ya to rush to the Tuoba Department to deal with the matter.

Yes, it's sneaking in. After Lü Ya arrived at the Tuoba Division, he sat back and watched as Desert Khan commanded the Assassins of Jin Cao to kill Silu and Lu Guan. In this process, Lu Ya just silently collected evidence and protected individual witnesses, and did nothing else.

When Desert Khan gathered some of the tribal nobles he had just recruited, he forced Tuoba Liwei to the palace. Wen Yang and Lu Yacai stood up, and with all the human and material evidence available, Tuoba Desert Khan and his followers, as well as the three hundred marching Cao, were all killed.

After such a toss, the three best heirs of the Tuoba Department were all hanged. Tuoba Liwei was grieving, but also rationally set up the sons of Xilu and Luguan as heirs.

Liwei is nearly 100 years old, and Xilu and Luguan are also in the prime of their forties. According to the practice of fathers in the grasslands at the age of fifteen or sixteen, how can there be adults among the many sons of Xilu and Luguan. However, Tuoba Liwei, who had insight into the facts, was very clever in making the two youngest sons of Xilu and Luguan as heirs: one was three years old and the other was five years old.

On the grassland, only strength is respect. No matter what position the two little boys sit, they are not convincing. Therefore, the meaning of Tuoba Liwei is very clear: I know that if our tribe is not divided, you Han will not be at ease. So I chose two young children as heirs. As for me, I'm too old to live long. By the time I died, they hadn't grown up. In order to ensure their safety and status, they must be tightly attached to you Hans in order to exist. So, please rest assured. Our clan will not be too strong, and it will fall into internal friction for a long time in the future, and there will be no threat to you.

"I see, brother, listen to what you say, that Tuobali is already an old man. He didn't see that we were deliberately letting Jin Soo kill his two sons. ”

Of course he could see that. But the root cause of all these consequences is not the Jin Kingdom? Isn't it desert sweat? But it was we who took action at a critical moment to save Liwei's life. ”

"Well, I really don't understand these twists and turns, and I'm not interested in understanding them. The elder brother has just arrived, so let's introduce some information about Xihe to my brother. ”

"Good, please speak, foolish brother listens."

"In the past two months, our army and the main force of the Hun cavalry led by Liu Yuanhai have engaged in large-scale battles three times, and there is no obvious difference between victory and defeat. Hundreds of skirmishes and scouts from both sides...... In total, the enemy suffered about seven or eight thousand casualties, and the number of our troops was about the same number. Among them, Liu Meng's Tiefu cavalry lost more than 4,000 people, and our army had more than 3,000. ”

"Hiss~~ The combat power of this Hun is not weak."

"Well, the combat power of the Huns is indeed not weak, but more importantly, Liu Yuanhai is a person who is well versed in the art of war. On top of the battle array, to be honest, in terms of emergency response, my brother is far behind Liu Yuanhai. It's a personal martial art, and it's not as good as that guy. ”

"Interesting, I can understand why Da Sima is bent on killing Liu Yuanhai."

While the two brothers were talking, Beigong Xiong said outside the tent: "Two generals, Da Sima has a battle report sent from Jiexiu. ”

"Oh? I guess our army won. Ziyang, hurry up and send it in for a look. ”

Guan Yi's letter was very long, and in addition to giving a detailed report on the situation of this battle, he also gave detailed instructions on the development of the Xihe battle situation in the future.

Soon after this day, with the arrival of Daijun reinforcements, the number of people in Xihe recovered to about 30,000 Han troops and Tiefu cavalry. A large number of scouts were quickly dispatched, and a large number of wooden planks were erected on various traffic arteries on the Xihe grassland to make announcements.

The area of Xihe County is not very large. But due to the complex terrain. So the previous Wen Hu and Liu Meng were good, and the later Wen Yang was also good. There is no guarantee that Liu Yuan's main force can be caught quickly and accurately. In that case, I'm not going to look for you, you can go and see for yourself.

A large part of Guan Yi's letters to Wenyang were about propaganda against the Huns, since most of the Hun cavalry were illiterate. Therefore, Guan Yi specifically pointed out in the letter: You should not just insert a wooden sign and write words such as the defeat of the Jin State and the state. It's about making large, whole-scale posters. The picture is very clever and the connotation can be ignored, but it must be easy to understand when you hear it, so that those illiterate can understand what we mean at a glance.

Then Wenyang set up drawing boards everywhere on the Xihe grassland according to Guan Yi's instructions. Well, it may not be accurate to say that the drawing board is a good idea, but it is easy to understand it if you put it into a modern word: a large billboard next to a highway.

In these billboards, Wen Yang expressed several meanings: First, the Battle of Bingzhou has ended, and the Jin State has been defeated. Second, our Han will not embarrass you Huns, we only need the heads of Liu Yuan and his son, and hand over their father and son, and you will all be fine. Third, if you dare to continue to shield Liu Yuan's father and son, hmph, we will begin to investigate the relatives of your Hun cavalry who escaped and stayed in Pingzhou. Kill your wives and sons, then your parents, and then your other relatives.

In short, we will no longer actively seek out and attack you. We're going to go back to Pingzhou and kill people. When you hand over Liu Yuan's father and son, we will stop killing people.

This new policy, of course, will cause Liu Meng's dissatisfaction. But it's just a grievance.

Therefore, this time, that time.

With the fall of Shangdang County, Luoyang encountered a substantial threat. Anyone can see that unless Ji Han makes a serious mistake or civil strife, the course of this war will not change. Riding the wall at this time is the stupidest option.

Moreover, after Ji Han completely opened up the Xihe grain road, the entire strategic environment has completely improved. also took advantage of the factor of Tuoba Desert Khan to grasp Tuoba Xianbei in his hands. In this way, of course, Ji Han can be tougher against the Huns - I can't bloodied your entire tribe, but I should kill the families of those who are against me in your tribe, right? Besides, I gave them a notice, and they don't cherish it themselves, so they can't blame me.

Soon, in March of this year, when the Huns in Pingzhou were really killed by Wen Yang and others who went south, they led an army to kill nearly 10,000 people. For hundreds of years, the head of the Huyan tribe who often served as the daughter of the clan personally brought the heads of Liu Bao and Liu Yuan's father and son to Jiexiu.

"Hehehe, Patriarch Huyan, how does this official know if these two human heads are real?"

"Qiqi Da Sima, Liu Bao and his son are nobles in my Huns, and there are many people who know them, and it is easy to verify. Especially Liu Yuan, who has been in Luoyang for many years, and many Jin officials are familiar with him. Not to mention anything else, it is the Pingbei General of the Han Dynasty, who also knows Liu Yuan. ”

"Hmm." After looking at Liu Yuan's head very seriously for a while, Guan Yi smiled easily, and then waved his hand very casually, asking the guard to take down the box containing the two heads.

"What's your name?"

"The barbarian savage Hu Yanyu, meet the Great Han Sima."

"Huh? As far as I know, your sister is Liu Yuan's main room. You said, you are the eldest brother, and you actually killed your own uncle. People like you deserve to die with you? ”

"The grass people feel that they don't deserve to die, and they won't die."

"Oh? Interesting, tell me why. ”

"First, Liu Yuan's father and son were not killed by me, but by their father and son. I just cut off their heads from the corpses. ”

And this kind of secret? Hey, he really deserves to be a grassland hero, and he is really ruthless. It is completely conceivable that when their father and son stabbed each other, that kind of unwillingness and resentment in their hearts, right? Well, Liu Yuanhai is indeed an amazing talent, but unfortunately, it is not a talent of our Han people. Then you'll have to die!

Second, before the father and son committed suicide by stabbing each other, Liu Bao only had Liu Yuan's son alive. And Liu Yuan has just been crowned and has no son yet. In other words, now only Liu Meng is left in the lineage of the Luan Ti family. For hundreds of years, we Huns have taken the men of the Luan Ti family as a single Yu, and the daughter of the Huyan family as the Yan family. So ......"

Hey, how do I think, none of these guys are stupid! Well, you managed to convince me.

"I am a big country in the world, and the promises I make must be fulfilled. Otherwise, the state loses its faith. Therefore, sooner or later, this Youxian King will be canonized as the Xiongnu Dashan Yu by my Han Dynasty. However, this official thinks that you Huns are only surnamed Luan Ti. It is not right that the left and right Xianwang are also surnamed Luan Ti. Therefore, the famous families in the Huns such as the Huyan family and the Fuqu family should also serve as the virtuous king. ”

"All Fu Wei Da Sima ruling. The Huyan family must be the only one who is the head of the big Sima Ma. ”

Although he couldn't completely snap his fingers (minus half), Liu Bao's series was finished. The remaining Liu Meng was not accepted by the left and middle parts because of the problem of the Tiefu people. And now the contradiction between the left and the center has also emerged. Well, Tuoba split, Huns split. It's barely satisfactory. For the rest, wait for Lao Tzu to take Luoyang, and then I will slowly deal with you.
