Kobineng is gone, with a covenant waiting to be fulfilled.

After this small group of Xianbei people quietly left Xihe County, the menacing and powerful Han army soldiers and horses that shook the Hu people south of Yinshan Mountain also secretly prepared to withdraw to the Sanhe region further south before the arrival of the snow season on the grassland.

Although this news has not yet leaked out, just from some daily signs, it is enough to make the Hun Shan Yu Huchuquan, who has not been defeated for a long time, frightened.

Could it be that just like last time, there was a big change in Handi?

Or did the hussar general look for other strong chieftains of the steppe, ready to abandon the Huns who had not achieved enough and had more than enough defeat?

Whatever the reason, the restless Hu Chuquan decided to take a trip himself, in order to find out the true intentions of the hussar general Yan Xing.

in the military tent.

The charcoal fire in the brazier crackled from time to time, and the heat that slowly spread around the tent with the brazier as the center made the people in the tent feel the warmth of summer.

But at this moment, Hu Chuquan, who was sitting in the warm military tent, was like falling into an ice cave, and he was uneasy in his heart, and the wine glass in his hand was raised and put down, and he hesitated for a while before asking again:

"General, are you really determined to withdraw your troops?"

Hearing Hu Chuquan ask again, Yan Xing shifted his gaze from the bearskin on his lap to the restless Xiongnu Shan Yu, he smiled lightly and said:

"Shan Yu, Lonely's dispatch to Xihe this time was originally to relieve the siege and rescue the emergency. At present, the Zhuhu tribes who intend to besiege Meijishan Yuting have retreated and fled one after another, and several rebellious Qianghu tribes in Shangjun have also been pacified. In the meantime, Lone is naturally going to return to Sanhe with his troops. ”

"However, the coalition forces of the various divisions have not yet been defeated!"

"It doesn't matter, the men and horses of Tu Ge, Xianbei, and Wuhuan were all hastily assembled, and the people were not in harmony, and they would never dare to risk crossing the river on a raft and attacking Meiji Shan Yuting. Moreover, their grain and grass baggage cannot support the long-term gathering and consumption of so many men and horses, and when the snow season on the grassland arrives, the men and horses will withdraw to the pasture for the winter. ”

Yan Xing's calm judgment made Hu Chuquan's face bitter, and he said helplessly:

"General, you promised me to become the true Lord of the Huns. At present, although I have ascended to the throne of Shan Yu, and with the assistance of the two generals Xu and Meng, I have regathered the left subordinates who broke away from the court of Meiji Shan Yu, but the most difficult to tame Tu Ge is still entrenched in Yanmen, Dingxiang and other places. ”

"Not long ago, they united the Xianbei people and Wuhuan people to defeat my own people, which made my prestige plummet, if it wasn't for your army to arrive at Xihe in time, I am afraid that Meiji will be invaded and plundered by the Xianbei, Tuge, and Qianghu tribes in this autumn and winter."

"What I'm afraid of is that at this time, there is no pacification of Tu Ge, and in the future, Mei Jishan Yuting will be sandwiched between Xianbei and Tu Ge, and he will be constrained everywhere, and he will have to face enemies from both sides anytime and anywhere. Once the men and horses of our headquarters are defeated, not only will the pastures and livestock, women and children of the Huns be lost, but even the trade routes on the grassland and the barriers of Xihe County will be greatly threatened! ”

Hu Chuquan chattered about the bitter water, and Yan Xing also listened quietly.

The former powerful Huns are now weakened, and they have to rely on the strength of the Han army behind them to support him. As a Xiongnu Shan Yu, who was single-handedly raised, Hu Chuquan had no courage to oppose his decision, and could only use a humble tone to try to change his mind.

Of course, this does not mean that Hu Chuquan is just pleading bitterly.

At the end, Hu Chuquan also confided in the important role of the Huns for Yan Xing's side, if Meijishan Yuting was defeated by the Xianbei people and Tu Ge, the huge loss would not be only the Huns themselves.

Yan Xing, who needed a smooth and stable grassland trade route and a barrier to the northern grassland, would also suffer huge losses.

This kind of bargaining chip that puts one's own safety on the table, although it is not the best bargaining chip, it is more or less a bargaining chip.

After Hu Chuquan vomited the bitter water in his heart, he could only press his heart, anxiously waiting for Yan Xing's reply, and also secretly praying that the chips he had just thrown could exert some influence on Yan Xing's decision-making.

"It's too much to worry about!"

In Hu Chuquan's nervous waiting, Yan Xing finally spoke, and he said with a smile:

"How can I forget the promise I made. Tu all kinds of disobedience and collusion with high-ranking cadres are lonely enemies. This time, we did not send troops to attack, but it was just to let the enemy's soldiers and horses relax so that the next time we sent troops to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop. ”

"This-" Hu Chuquan was about to speak, and looked at Yan Xing's face suspiciously, wanting to get a glimpse of what he really thought in his heart.

Seeing that Hu Chuquan refused to believe it, Yan Xing smiled and asked:

"Shan Yu, do you know that Gu has met some Xianbei people recently?"

When Hu Chuquan heard this, his face changed slightly, but he still shook his head.

"In the grassland coalition army that Tu has gathered in various ways, it has secretly mixed with our allies. As long as the grassland coalition army disperses and Tu Gehu relaxes, he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort and pacify the Tu Gehu in one fell swoop. ”

"At that time, the Yanmen Tu has been eliminated, and Lone still needs to rely on Shan Yu to command the Huns, attack the sentence note, and attack Taiyuan Gaogan in the north and south with Lone, and cut off the left arm of Yuan Shao in Hebei!"

"That's nature, that's nature,,, the general has a reinvention of the Huns, if Hu Chuquan can pacify Tuge, then he will definitely control the Huns, but the general's order is obeyed!"

After listening to Yan Xing's plan, Hu Chuquan couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he still tried his best to suppress his restless heart and try not to appear overly excited. For the request for sending troops at the end of Yan Xing, he was even more all-encompassing, showing a look of being a horse-headed and obedient.

In his heart, the first thing to unify the Xiongnu is the first thing, which is of course inseparable from the help of the Han soldiers and horses, as for afterwards, whether to shed the blood of the Huns and help the Han people fight the civil war, it should be another matter.

Juzhu is known as the world's nine stops, and Hu Chuquan, who has been living in the Han land for many years, also knows how he is willing to let the athletes under his account run into a bloody stream under that Xiongguan, and he faintly feels that Yan Xing's idea will not be so simple, he will definitely want to let the Huns who unify the various departments to help him charge into battle and shed more blood.

At that time, Yuting, the Meiji Shan where he was located, naturally had to delay and prevaricate the dispatch of troops as much as possible, and after watching Yan Xing and Yuan Shao fight the victory, they would add icing on the cake and steadily lean towards the final winner.

Hu Chuquan hides these unspeakable thoughts deep in his heart. After thanking him for his kindness, he hurriedly got up and said goodbye, and then left the military tent with a quick walk under Yan Xing's send-off.

After seeing Hu Chuquan stay away, Yan Xing also turned around and returned to his military tent, at this time, there was a rustling sound behind the screen in the tent, Yan Xing's face sank, and he shouted solemnly:

"Not yet!"

After being drunk by Yan Xing, a few more giggling laughter came from behind the screen, and a delicate and agile woman turned out and jumped to Yan Xing's bearskin-covered seat in a few steps, her body rolled playfully on the seat, and looked at Yan Xing who was walking towards her with a smile.

Looking at the girl's black braids and bright eyes, Yan Xing reached out and lifted her up, pretending to be angry and asked:

"Aqige, there are military affairs in the account, how can you be here!"

"Hmph, you won't allow me to be here, and I won't allow you to lie to my uncle."

"Heh, where did I lie to your uncle?"

Yan Xing smiled, pulled Aqige towards his broad shoulders, touched her black and bright braided hair, and asked with a straight face.

"I don't know, anyway, I can hear it clearly in the back, the tone of your voice is different from usual, if it's not lying to my uncle, then the conversations on weekdays are lying to me, hum!"

Aqigen pursed his mouth, not as if he was not satisfied with his broad shoulders, and rubbed it into Yan Xing's warm embrace.

Yan Xing was taken pity by her action, and gently tapped her smooth forehead as a punishment, but he was reluctant to spend any more effort.

Although Aqige is the daughter of Yu Fuluo, she is not Yu Fuluo's biological birth, but is just the adopted daughter of Yu Fuluo among the Xiongnu nobles who died in the war.

After some consideration, she was dedicated to Yan Xing by her uncle, and she was only fourteen years old at the time, but she didn't have so much discomfort and hatred, and her words and deeds were more like a lively and romantic girl on the grassland.

Yan Xing also liked this grassland girl full of youthful vitality, and this time he sent troops to Xihe, and even simply took her with him and took her back to his hometown, the Xiongnu Shan Yuting of Meiji, who let her visit her tribe and brought heavy gifts to her relatives on the grassland.

The young and energetic Aqige was also the link that maintained the relationship between Yan Xing and the Xiongnu, and her arrival and appearance settled the hearts of more Xiongnu people.

"Okay." Yan Xing seemed to have nothing to do with this grassland girl, and he explained with a light smile:

"I'm not lying to your uncle, at least so far, the vast majority of it is true."

"What do you mean?" Aqige asked with black and white eyes blinking in his arms.

"Your uncle is a wise man, and he is very suspicious, and if I tell all the truths or lies, it will not only be difficult for him to believe, but will make him more suspicious. So I simply put the lie into the truth and tell him, so that he will be more easily convinced, and he will no longer be suspicious. ”

"Then you're not lying to my uncle?"

"I didn't lie to your uncle." Yan Xing said solemnly.

"Today I will teach you another truth, you must know that when dealing with smart people, the truth is more effective than lies most of the time, and you still need to make up countless lies to get back in the future, but the truth is enough as long as it is once, tell them the truth, let them lie to themselves!"
