"Meet Da Sima, after many years, Da Sima's demeanor is better than in the past."

"Hahaha, King Youxian is in good health, and Guan Yi is also very pleased."

After the boring greetings, Guan Yi asked, "King Youxian, my Han hasn't caused you trouble in the past two months, right?" ”

"What's the trouble, Xiao Wang, what kind of place is this? The poor countryside where birds don't, usually don't talk about the Jin people, even those self-righteous adults in the middle and left will not take a second look here. ”

As mentioned above, Liu Meng is the son of Qubei, and both father and son are authentic Luan Ti clans, and they are the descendants of the Xiongnu Shan Yu lineage. But the bad thing is that they started from the beginning, and their branch was assigned to the right part of the Xiongnu - this branch is a mixture of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people, and the middle and left parts of the self-proclaimed authentic Huns are called the Tiefu people.

Although Liu Meng is a member of the Luan Ti family, he is now the right king of the Xiongnu, commanding the Tiefu Department. The so-called ass determines the head, no matter whether his blood is pure or not, all his current reliance is on this Iron Force. Therefore, he had to speak for the interests of the Tiefu tribe, which caused him to become an outlier within the Xiongnu.

The grassland tribes attach great importance to the purity of blood, and the status of hybrid tribes is of course extremely low. In the past few years, in the Xiongnu of the entire Xihe Xiongnu, the grassland area is the smallest, the water source in the territory is the least, and it is often discriminated against and harassed by several other Xiongnu.

That's why Liu Mengcai said: Although the troops at the front station have frequently traveled back and forth to the banks of the Yellow River in the past two months, they have kept carrying grain to me. But my place is so remote that no one notices it. Rest assured!

"Good!" After casually arching his hand towards Liu Meng, Guan Yi stretched out his hand to summon Li Xiang, a student who had just been promoted to be a general: "Zhanfei, how much grain have you carried in the past two months?" ”

"The mountain chief forgives the sin, because the Yellow River is turbulent in this season, and the Yellow River is blocked by Luliang Mountain soon after crossing, so the students and others tried their best, and only stored 200,000 stone grain and grass."

"200,000, 80,000 for the division this time...... That is, only two months of reserves. ”

"In the eyes of the students, I am afraid that there will be no two months. Because Luliang Mountain is really difficult to pass. The chief's troops have to pass through this area, and the consumption of soldiers along the way will increase, and the loss on the road will also increase when the people carry food. So, at most a month and a half, beyond this time, there will be no food! ”

"Hiss~~~" Guan Yi pulled his beard: Of course, there are no spies from the Jin Kingdom in this place, because he is not suitable for the army at all. Fortunately, he only brought half of the soldiers and horses over this time, if the whole division crossed the river, I am afraid that Luliang Mountain would all starve to death before they crossed it.

"How's your sapper team doing with the zipline?"

"Difficult! The mountain soil here is too thick and soft. Unlike the mountains of Shuzhong, it doesn't take long to dig down and it is hard rock. Therefore, the ends of the zipline are difficult to fix, and even if they are fixed, they cannot be used for too long. ”

"Hey, this land of mountains and rivers is really not so easy to walk."

"Hehehe, mountain chief, the student listened to a Roman scholar in Chang'an some time ago talk about Hannibal's war, and the Alps are said to be far steeper than Luliang, but didn't Hannibal's army also turn over? The students are convinced that under the leadership of the mountain chief, we will be able to make the impossible possible! ”

"Hahaha, well said! It's not just Hannibal, not long ago, didn't Deng Shizai also climb over Qilian Mountain! Well, Zichun, it's been more than two months since you came here, where are our scouts scattering farthest? ”

"Returning to the Great Sima, with the help of the guide sent by the Right Xian King, the last general has personally walked through Luliang Mountain and went to the Jinyang City in Taiyuan County."

"Sure enough, it's Jiangmen Huzi, you did a good job. Who is in Jinyang City now? How many soldiers and horses are there? ”

"At this time, Sima Gui, the king of Taiyuan of the Jin Kingdom, was in charge, with 20,000 soldiers and horses."

"Hmph, Du Yuankai really thought that I would go to Hedong County stupidly, and then let his Shangdang Corps and the Luoyang Chinese Army flank me. Hehehe, King Youxian, I need your help! ”

"Dear Da Sima, it started when I sent my only son, Vice Lun, to Chang'an to study. The prosperity of the right part of my Huns is all pinned on you. So, if you have any requests, please feel free to ask. ”

"Food! This officer's troops are short of food! ”

"Xiao Wang's right side has a mouth of 100,000, gritting his teeth and saving the province, counting all kinds of meat, he can support Da Sima 100,000 stones!"

"Very good, you don't have to worry about it. Once our army's strategy is exposed, the grain transport team on the west bank of the Yellow River will not be able to secretly transport grain as it is now. At that time, forty or fifty thousand people sent food together. The first is to land in your jurisdiction. When the time comes, the official will pay you back 300,000 stones! ”

"Thank you, Da Sima." made a casual salute, and Liu Meng did not have a grateful expression. Instead, he stared at Guan Yi with blazing eyes.

"Hehe, Right Virtuous King, the previous promise of this official is still valid. After the official crossed Luliang Mountain and attacked Jinyang City, he sent troops to Qi County, which was the nomadic cultivation place that your Xiongnu right should have. ”

Seeing that Liu Meng was still staring at him, Guan Yi was still smiling: "After taking back the land that the right part of the Xiongnu should have, the next thing is to see what the right Xian King means." The northern part of the Xiongnu has been almost swallowed by Xianbei, and the southern part is a little far away. The middle and left parts near Qi County depend on whether the Right Xian King wants to kill or use it. In short, after the right Xian Wang unified the Xiongnu tribes, this official must start my emperor, according to the Han and Hun centuries of brotherhood covenant, by our emperor canonized the right Xian king as the Xiongnu Da Dan Yu! ”

"Xiao Wang is grateful, in the follow-up war, the right part of my Huns will fight to the end for Da Sima!"

(Humph!) You damn barbarian, wait for Lao Tzu to destroy the Jin Kingdom, and dismember you in minutes! ）

(Humph!) You shameless Han people, when I unify the Xiongnu tribes, I still want you to be sealed? Wouldn't I be myself? ）

Since the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu was divided into two parts, the north and the south. The Southern Xiongnu have been living in the borders of Bingzhou for a long time. For hundreds of years, they were tightly controlled and suppressed by the Han Chinese. Plus Xianbei is strong in the grassland. As a result, the Southern Xiongnu themselves lost the confidence to return to the steppe to dominate. This Liu Meng, what he thinks and thinks, is just to unify the Southern Xiongnu and be a single Yu.

Only Guan Yi, who was a traverser, knew that the Southern Xiongnu had been recuperating in Bingzhou for hundreds of years, and its internal strength had long been restored. Once there is a heroic leader to lead them, there will be a burst of great power.

Therefore, it is better to appease this Liu Meng first, no matter how much this person is unable to do his best. are 10,000 times better than Liu Yuan, who is still in Luoyang!

After the two guys who were grinning and MMP in their hearts hypocritically promised each other, Guan Yi gave an order to his generals behind him: "Spread out scouts and cover up battlefield intelligence." Organize and collect grain and grass and prepare for dressing. After sunrise tomorrow, the whole army will follow me over Luliang Mountain and surprise attack Jinyang! ”

On the third day of September, Guan Yi crossed the Yellow River. After a day of simple repairs, on the fourth day of the ninth month, he led an army of 80,000 to plunge into the vast Luliang Mountain without hesitation.

At the same time, Taiyuan County Administration, Jinyang City.

"Hao'er, pass the order, select soldiers and horses, and lead troops to Luoyang for my father."

"Huh? Father, what's going on? According to Du Yuankai's arrangement, aren't our 20,000 people a mobile force in the prefecture to support Hedong and Shangdang at any time according to the evolution of the battle situation? My father led his troops to Luoyang at this time, but the main force of the Shu thieves was really in Tongguan? Or maybe there's something wrong with Pusaka Castle? ”

"No, this is a letter from Pei Jiyan and Du Yuankai, read it for yourself."

"Huh? Hey! After reading the letters from the two high-ranking officials at a glance and ten lines, Sima Hao was also speechless: "Why is our majesty like this?" Isn't it just that a wall in Tongguan has cracked a few openings? As for this trivial matter, do you want to increase troops in Luoyang? Now Luoyang has a full army of 100,000! ”

"Hey, don't say it's useless. Du Yuankai, as a general who leads heavy troops abroad, is most afraid of the suspicion of monarchs and ministers. Since His Majesty personally issued an order to strengthen Luoyang's defense, Du Yuankai did not dare to refuse. ”

"Hey! This Your Majesty, this Marquis of Linjin! Then, father, how many soldiers and horses are we going to take away from Jinyang City? ”

"According to Du Yuankai's analysis, my Jinyang City belongs to the rear of Bingzhou, and there is basically no war. Therefore, 15,000 people were sent south, and Wang Shizhi from Pubancheng drew another 5,000 people. In this way, when 20,000 people arrive in Luoyang, His Majesty should be able to sleep better. ”

"This ...... What does my father mean that you will go to Luoyang in person? ”

"Yes, yes. This battle is a battle related to the life and death of my Sima family. Your Majesty...... As his father, in the end, he is his elder, and after he goes to Luoyang, whether it is in front of His Majesty, or in front of King Qi and King Ruyin, it is easier to speak. When my father went to Luoyang, you only have 5,000 soldiers and horses here, so you have to be more cautious and careful. As a father, he is not worried about the army of Shu thieves, with the cover of Luliang Mountain, the Shu thieves can't turn over. It's the Huns south of Jinyang, you have to pay more attention, after our troops in Taiyuan County are emptied, I'm afraid that they will make trouble! ”

"No, the child knows. I also asked my father to go to Luoyang, contact the elders of the clan, and persuade Your Majesty not to always wander like this. ”
