A few days later, I suddenly saw Ding Yuan and his party of more than 100 people coming in a hurry, and when they saw Han Yi, they shouted on the head: "Han Mingyuan, I order you to quickly stop the matter of privately conquering the Southern Xiongnu." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Han Yi raised his eyebrows, suppressed his anger, and said coldly: "Captain Dingqi, are you too lenient." ”

Ding Yuan said proudly: "This assassin is not lenient at all, don't you know, this assassin has been officially appointed to the position of the state assassin a few days ago. The officers, orders, chiefs, and captains of the counties and counties of the state are under the supervision of their own officials. You, Han Mingyuan, are not outside the world. ”

"Oh, Ding Qidu has become a state assassin? The White Wave Thief has been pacified? ”

"Someone else has taken over the White Wave thief, so don't worry about it. When the court learned that you intended to force the Southern Xiongnu, you even had to borrow troops from Changshan State, especially with 20,000 war horses as a hire, and all the princes of the court were shocked. Don't you still think that the combat power of the thieves of Changshan is too weak? If the thieves of Changshan have an extra 20,000 horsemen, when the thieves of Yuyang Erzhang and the Wuhuan thieves are not at peace, won't they let them sweep the entire Hebei realm? ”

Han Yi said indifferently: "General Tiandao, the prime minister of Changshan State, has not done too much disobedience since he was surrendered, and he basically obeys the orders of the court. Why does the court still recognize him as a thief? Even if I think he is a thief, I lure him with a war horse and hire the elite of his country to fight for me against the Southern Huns, the Southern Huns are strong, who knows how many casualties the bandits will be killed? If there is too much loss, no matter how good the horse is, there will be no elite warriors to ride, isn't this a solution for the court? ”

Ding Yuan shouted: "Having said that, do you know that the thieves of Changshan will fight to the death after getting the war horse? Instead of coping casually? ”

Han Yi said: "I'm not a fool, I don't know how to give 5,000 horses before the war and 15,000 horses after the war. ”

Ding Yuan thought for a long time, and Fang asked in a low voice: "I heard that Changshan Heavenly Dao has gradually reduced its troops due to food problems in the past two years, and at this time, there are only about 50,000 soldiers and horses in Changshan Country, and you are forty percent of its soldiers at this time, how sure are you?" Also, in the battle, it is possible to lose as many Changshan bandit soldiers as possible, without making Changshan Heavenly Dao suspicious? If you can return with half of your military strength, I can make a proposal to the court for you and approve this policy. ”

Han Yi said: "I once traveled to Changshan Country, and I heard that the thieves in Changshan are not united, if I borrow troops, the Heavenly Dao General will definitely not be willing to be transferred out of the thieves." And in order to strengthen the army and continue to fight against the Heavenly Dao General, the thieves will be tempted by my 20,000 war horses. I don't think they will object to this trivial. ”

Ding Yuan said again and again: "That's good, that's good." Han Yi stepped forward to listen to the seal. ”

Han Yi was stunned when he heard this, but he still got up and obeyed his orders. Ding Yuan said: "The Yin Pavilion Order annexed the state army Sima Han Yi, who was brave and good at fighting, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats...... He worked tirelessly, thinking hard day and night to share worries for the country, and his heart was commendable...... He was specially promoted to the position of Xihe Taishou and Xihe Commander, and led the soldiers of Changshan State and the soldiers of Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu to recruit the county ministers. ”

Han Yi was pleasantly surprised, and the court finally agreed, and he was promoted to his official position. Han Yi knew his own life experience, he was born as a son-in-law in Lingling, and he was born in the army, in the words of the family, he was called crazy and rebellious Lao Ge (the meaning of the old pawn).

At most, a soldier from the army will be able to do the position of a thousand stones and a food for a thousand stones, if it weren't for Han Yi's help, it would be impossible to be knighted. If you want to become a captain, a general, or a senior official like a taishou, don't even think about it, and as for the likes of the three princes and nine kings, it is even more unimaginable.

Han Yi immediately cried and thanked him: "Minister Han Yi received the order and thanked him." ”

Ding Yuan said again: "Mingyuan, Your Majesty has a private message to you: The Southern Huns will be entrusted to Yu Qing, and I hope that Qing will live up to my wishes." ”

Han Yi cried: "The minister dares to disobey his fate......"

After Ding Yuan left, Han Yi cleaned up his mood and continued the unfinished business. It is said that the court's reward this time is because Han Yi broke 100,000 white wave thieves, but except for the nominal position of Xihe Taishou and Dushu, there is nothing substantial.

Xihe County was in the hands of the Southern Huns, and there were no other people in the county. The conscription of soldiers and horses was borrowed by Han Yi himself, plus a Zuoxian king Yu Fuluo who was bent on returning to the country. In fact, there is nothing to say, let alone the addition of titles and food estates.

It seems that the court is planning to give up Han Yi this time, and let Han Yi enter the Southern Xiongnu Land to fend for himself. If Han Yi wins, the court will benefit. If Han Yi is defeated, Changshan soldiers and horses will be lost, and the court will also benefit. It seems that the princes of the court are really shrewd and ruthless.

On the fourth day of the fifth month, Changshan County was invited to send 20,000 troops to come through Jingjing, and the people who commanded the troops were the paid henchmen Luo Pei, and the five generals Sun Qing, Zuo Xiao, Li Damu, and Zhang Leigong. Han Yimi brought Luo Pei, who knew the relationship between the two, into a private room to talk and asked about the recent situation of salary payment.

After Luo Pei's explanation, Han Yi knew that the salary payment had basically stabilized the situation in Changshan Kingdom, if it weren't for the fact that the court had never believed in Changshan Kingdom. In fact, there is no need to leave 30,000 Jizhou soldiers on guard in the four borders of Changshan Country, and they can be sent to fight against the thieves in Youzhou.

However, Han Yi's borrowing of troops this time still caused a lot of turmoil. Zhang Niujiao died at the hands of Han Yi, and most of his subordinates belonged to Zhang Niujiao's righteous son Yu Feiyan who was received before his death. Yu Feiyan has always refused to borrow troops, and almost led the troops away because of it, but fortunately was persuaded by Chengzhang. Most of the troops sent this time were the armies of the various ministries that listened to the salary, and none of the 20,000 troops under the command of Yu Feiyan moved.

Han Yi sighed: "My cousin is okay to command the army, but the ability of this commander is still poor." First it was Zhang Niujiao, and now it is Yu Feiyan. Know that if you continue to interrupt, you will suffer from it. ”

Luo Pei said with a smile: "The lord is merciful, although he can't completely subdue Yu Feiyan, but he also makes everyone in Changshan satisfied." In another ten or eight years, the generals of Changshan may not be completely subdued. ”

Han Yi asked: "Cousin's intention, just go silent like this, and stay in Changshan Country without moving." ”

Luo Pei said: "The lord once said that he did not know the appearance of the lord, and he could not achieve great things. A Changshan country can't be subdued, let alone the whole world. Looking at the chaos of the Han River every year, if it goes on like this, I am afraid it will not last long. The lord intends to lie still in the country of Changshan, waiting for the lord to come out of the mountain. ”

Han Yi let out a long breath when he heard this, Han Yi admired the vision of paying salary, if the salary payment said that the big man couldn't last long, it must not last long. However, from the perspective of Han Yi's people's hearts, the Han has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for too long, and most people don't want the Han to collapse. I'm afraid that it will be dead but not stiff, and it will last for many years.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Han Yi officially swore an oath to take 4,000 Qianping, the Blood Hate Army and 5,000 Xianbei mercenaries as the Chinese army, with the 20,000 Changshan Army as the left and right wings, and more than 4,000 Southern Xiongnu soldiers in Yufuluo as the vanguard, and officially sent troops to Xihe County. In name, he escorted Han Yi to Xihe County to take up the positions of Taishou and Captain. The troops of Bingzhou were ordered by Ding Yuan not to come, and Han Yi only had these 33,000 troops available.

Han Yi looked at the 33,000 army in front of him, his heart was surging, and he couldn't stop the heroism in his heart. With these 33,000 troops, even if no one else came to help, why should I be afraid of the Southern Huns?

Just as Han Yi was raising his troops, a number of horsemen suddenly arrived in a hurry, and the first one was one foot tall, riding an eight-foot Xianbei Horse King, with a flying expression, looking forward to himself, and carrying a Fang Tian painting halberd, this person was Lu Bu. Hurriedly followed by Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao, as well as several generals under Zhang Yang's command, Yang Chou, Zheng Gu and others.

Han Yi immediately stepped forward and asked, "The three of you are here to bid farewell to Han Yi." ”

Lu Bu smiled arrogantly: "The conquest of the Southern Xiongnu is such an angry thing as swallowing mountains and rivers, how can it be missing from me, Lu Fengxian." I was invited to help, what? Mingyuan, you are not happy. ”

"Oh? Thank you, Brother Feng. Han Yi said happily, and looked at Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao.

Zhang Yang said embarrassedly: "That, Ding Tingshi strictly ordered us not to send troops to help, and I can't either." I can only accompany Mingyuan on a journey with a mere eight-foot body, lest Mingyuan blame me for being an unrighteous villain who ignores the hatred of my uncle. ”

Han Yi laughed and said, "How dare you, how dare you, even if there are no soldiers, as long as you come, I will be very happy." It's just that you have a position, and this Ding Thorn Shi also agrees with you to come? ”

Zhang Yang scolded angrily and said, "Uncle Lao Tzu just died, I am not allowed to use troops, and I am not allowed to take leave for several months." ”

Han Yi nodded and said yes, and Zhang Liao also said: "Liao is deeply favored by Uncle Zhang, and Uncle Zhang's hatred, although Liao is ignorant, how can he not repay it." Today, there is a Han brother to lead the army to conquer the Southern Xiongnu, although Liao is not talented, but he wants to be the vanguard of the army, kill more thieves and slaves, and avenge Uncle Zhang. ”

Han Yi smiled: "Okay, good, good, with the help of the three of you, this trip will be smoother." ”

After a few people were merged into the army, Han Yi gave an order, and the 33,000 three armies rushed towards the western Mayi. Han Yi did not pay only 5,000 war horses to Chang Shanjun, as Ding Yuan said, but paid them all. It must be known that the Southern Huns have many horses, and if the marching speed of the army is too slow, they are afraid that they will be led around by the nose of the Southern Huns. Only when the whole army has war horses to ride can it bite the figure of the Southern Huns.

The army was divided into ten marches, separated by three miles from each other, and the team stretched for forty miles, among which there were more than 10,000 people who were inspired by Han Yi to transport grain from Yanmen County. The army passed through Mayi and Wuzhou all the way to Dingxiang County, which was occupied by the Huns. However, when the southern Huns of Dingxiang County heard that a large number of Han troops were coming, they scattered and fled in a panic, hurriedly packing up and preparing for the relocation. However, the journey was too slow, and the Yellow River blocked the way, which was broken by Yu Fuluo, who was chasing quickly.

After killing several Southern Xiongnu chieftains, many tribes surrendered to Luan Tiyu Fuluo, the legal heir of Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu. After sweeping the entire Dingxiang County, Yu Fuluo successfully summoned more than 30,000 Southern Huns who could not escape. And on the 18th day of May, on the edge of the Yellow River in Luocheng, he established himself as the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, and called himself to hold the corpse to chase the Hou Shan Yu. All the Han generals were also invited to watch the ceremony.

Regarding Yu Fuluo's self-reliance, Han Yi didn't say anything, just watched him indifferently and do it himself. It is said that without the approval of the Han court, Yu Fuluo's position is basically invalid. However, Yu Fuluo fought for the title of righteousness with the Southern Huns, so he hurriedly stood on his own.
