Chapter 308: The Huns Sue for Peace
After Guan Yu leveled Dingxiang's Su Gu Division, the army divided into two routes, one led by Guan Yu and drove into Yunzhong County, and the other led by Xu Huang swept north through Dingxiang County.
In the southernmost counties of Dingxiang, Wucheng County, Tongguo County, and Luo County, all threats have been swept away.
The captured Xianbei was escorted to Yanmen Xia Lake, and Zhang Jun was sent to inform him to move the immigrants to these three counties.
Xu Huang led the army to Chengle County, Wujin County, Dingxiang County, Antao County, and Wuyao County.
The Xianbei Daxi Department had already fled from the wind and fled straight to the north, and even some Hu people in various counties also moved and fled.
One county after another was trampled by the Han cavalry, and all threats were dispersed, which represented the return of the homeland.
Those Han people who were originally hiding in the mountains and forests have come out of the mountains to rebuild their homes under the organization of the government.
Guan Yu led the army through Zhenling and marched towards Shaling County, Yunzhong County, Xianyang County, Yuanyang County, Beiyu County, Wuquan County, and Wugao County.
Subu Xianbei and Balin Xianbei fled. There are very few warriors left in the tribe, and if the Han army attacks with iron cavalry, they will be completely annihilated.
In seven days, the two counties were all recovered.
Then, Cangyun scouts and Guan Yu's army scouts received orders.
Half a month later, Guan Yu prepared a boat, crossed the Yellow River from the ferry port of Shaling, and came to Wudu County, Wuyuan, where they joined the begging army.
Less than 200 miles south of Wudu, it goes straight to the Xiongnu royal court.
Three days later, Xu Huang also led the army to cross the Yellow River, and he was stationed in Shanan County, Yunzhong, which was hundreds of miles away from Wudu, echoing Guan Yu's army and the beggar army.
Shanan County is on the south bank of the Yellow River, and it is also the last county in Yunzhong on the south bank of the Yellow River.
Luan Tiqiangqu was even more panicked, and hurriedly sent people to urge the various ministries to send the Han slaves back to Wuyuan.
Wuyuan County, Wudu.
"The court of the Southern Xiongnu is at the feet of our army, as long as our army steps down, we can complete the long-cherished wish of the lord 'Muma Hexi'. What do you think? ”
After Xu Huang led the troops to arrive, Guan Yu gathered the people in the military tent.
Including the generals of the beggar army, Gao Kai and Jiang Jun.
Guan Yu appreciated Gao Kai and Jiang Jun's courage and indomitable patriotic determination in the face of hardship.
Jiang Jun and Gao Kai are the leaders jointly elected by the 20,000 beggar army, and they have made a lot of contributions for more than ten years, and Guan Yu has no right to reward them with corresponding official positions, and Liu Fan has to decide afterwards.
"On the border between Xihe County and Wuyuan County, there are dense Xiongnu camps. Watching its array, at least 40,000 horsemen. Strike more with less, but also weigh the benefits. I once told my lord that the ultimate goal of our army was to drive the Xiongnu across the Yellow River (the western section of the Hetao) and out of the desert (Ulan Bu and the desert), so that our army could be completely fixed between the rivers as it was in the time of the Han Dynasty. Jia Xu said to Guan Yu meaningfully.
Jia Xu's words were not finished, but the rest of the words were inconvenient to confide.
The complete Guxia Hetao, the Weihu people in the north, and the Guanzhong in the south.
Jia Xu knew that the lord's thinking was very similar to that of the Legalists. Although he loves the country and the people, he has a strong desire to control.
It is impossible for the lord to tolerate the existence of a pack of wolves under his nose. Even if the wolves are asleep.
Unless, the Southern Huns, like Helian, were completely lying on their stomachs.
Moreover, the complete consolidation of the Hetao can solve the shortcomings of Yanmen in grain.
Liu Fan was the traverser, and the Hetao was the most important grain producing area in the northwest in later generations.
"The right division thinks the time is not right?" Guan Yu understood what Jia Xu meant.
After a series of victories, the morale of the army was high. He was confident of victory over the Huns.
But the risk does exist, after all, the Southern Xiongnu tribes can mobilize and control 100,000 strings. They had less than 40,000 beggars.
If it is defeated, the newly recovered Hetao will be pushed back again. Then he Guan Yu will have no face to face the lord.
"On the south bank of the Yellow River in Shuofang and Wuyuan, the Xiongnu tribes have retreated to the border one after another, which means that the Xiongnu royal court is giving in to our army."
Jia Xu replied to Guan Yu.
"The Huns were brutal and treacherous. Often push the people of Wushuo Fang and Wuyuan into the fire and water, the general can not raise tigers for trouble, and my beggar army is willing to take the lead for the general and break through the Huns. ”
At this time, Gao Kai stood up, bowed to Guan Yu, and asked for his life.
Among the present, the ones who had the deepest resentment against the Xiongnu were Gao Kai and Jiang Jun.
The Xiongnu have caused them disasters for many years, and now that the army has arrived, how can they be willing to let the Xiongnu go.
"The husband can't be hindered by the accumulation of grievances, and now he is just out of the disaster, he should resume the township, and the silkworm farming, and don't let his relatives and friends suffer. You have no armor and no armor, and you have incomplete swords and soldiers, and you are fighting head-on with the Huns, and I am afraid that even 5,000 cavalry will not be able to resist it. Thou art the help of our army, and it will be of great use, and if thou shalt be defeated, the land between the rivers will cease to exist. In this way, how can the family live and work in peace? ”
Jia Xu carefully analyzed Gao Kai and Jiang Jun, and in the end, asked them rhetorically.
After hearing this, Gao Kai and Jiang Jun glanced at each other.
Jia Xu's words calmed them down, and said that they were on their hearts.
After suffering for so many years, they certainly know the cost of failure.
"For the sake of today, we should sharpen our armor, recruit soldiers and horses, and restore farming in the counties between the rivers. It seems that the Nanting Xiongnu want to sue for peace with our army, but in fact, it is to give our army a greater chance. The Southern Xiongnu were afraid, and the Southern Xiongnu lost. ”
Jia Xu stroked his beard consistently and said to everyone who was doing it.
The prosperity of the Han army was unparalleled for a while. The Southern Xiongnu were afraid of the strength of the Han army, which can be seen from the fact that the Southern Xiongnu only dared to confront the Han army, but did not dare to confront.
"Report ...... The Xiongnu envoy asked to see him. ”
Just then, a soldier entered the account to report.
"Bring it in."
Guan Yu ordered expressionlessly.
After a while, the Xiongnu envoy was brought in.
"The big war is coming, what is the matter with the Qiangqu Sect? Don't talk about seeking peace, you wait for the Huns to be despicable, they will only cross the river and tear down the bridge, and they have been deviant for many years, how can a word of peace be compensated? ”
Guan Yuhu's body was shocked, and suddenly the king's overlord qi leaked out, and he scolded the Hun envoy.
As soon as the Xiongnu envoy wanted to report his home and name, he was stopped by Guan Yu's momentum. Suddenly, cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and he was speechless.
He looked at the many Han generals seated, his body trembled, but when he thought of the mission, he had to bite the bullet and say: "Wu Nanting has been affiliated with the Han Dynasty for many years, and often takes out treasures for the emperor, and is loyal to the Han Dynasty. The previous grievances were all misunderstandings. Shan Yu was instigated by Zahu Xianbei and set foot on the Han soil in a daze. Today, he changed his past mistakes and returned all the Han people who took refuge in Wunanting, and gave the hussar general a cart of jewels to show his sincerity. ”
Xianbei in the middle has been torn apart, can no longer make the Xiongnu afraid, the Xiongnu envoy did not hesitate to splash dirty water on Xianbei's head.
After speaking, the Hun envoy glanced at Guan Yu above, only to see Guan Yu's phoenix eyes glaring at him slightly.
The Hun envoy thought that he had angered Guan Yu, so he hurriedly shrank his neck and lowered his head.
Guan Yu looked at Jia Xu and asked for his opinion.
Jia Xu sat down on Guan Yu's right and nodded lightly.
