Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was ready to launch the Battle of Hexi, of course, because this matter was not kept secret, and the matter began to be planned a few months ago, so the Xiongnu Shan Yuting, who was far away in Mobei, had also received the exact news, after all, in the Hun and Han wars, there were still many Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty, and every move of the enemy country was clear.

After the fiasco of the battle of Monan, the Xiongnu Shan Yu Yizhi withdrew from the Monan grassland, concentrated on practicing internal skills in the Mobei Shan Yuting, and with the assistance of the second king Zhao Xin, he eradicated the rebel ministers left by his brother Shan Yu after his death, and drove all the cronies of the prince Zuoxian out of the Shan Yuting, and then selected the courtiers from the new one, stabilizing the royal court disputes caused by Huo Qu's illness and killing.

After more than two years of self-cultivation, the Xiongnu recovered their vitality, and also defeated the undead legion of the Roman Empire expedition against the Xiongnu, especially in the Western Regions, in order to clean up the Western Regions, the Xiongnu can be said to be both civil and military, and adopted means such as peace and military deterrence, forcing the Shache State of the Western Regions, which was originally friendly with the Han, to fall to the Xiongnu, and the Wusun State, a great power in the Western Regions, also swayed from side to side.

Anyway, in a word, Liu Che stopped for two years after the Battle of Monan, which fed Yizhixian, but this made Zhao Xin, the second king of Zizi, even more unexpected, because the reason for suggesting that Ziyizhixian withdraw to Mobei was that he judged that with Liu Che's character and determination, he would definitely continue to find the main force of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, so he would definitely go deep into Mobei.

In this way, the purpose of luring the enemy to go deeper, waiting for work, and dividing and annihilating was achieved, but now it seems that Liu Che actually gave up the power of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and went to fight the Hexi Corridor that is now hanging alone, and the Hexi Corridor is now the weakest place for the Xiongnu.

"Shan Yu, let the last general lead an army into the Han Realm and cut off his Liu Che's head!" The Xiongnu general Kirgin was very ambitious, and after speaking, he looked at Yi Zhi and Danyu.

Kirkin! Yes, that's right, this guy is not dead, since he was injured by the Longdong strong poisonous knife of Huo Qu's sick department last time, he almost lost his breath and returned to the west, and now he is just missing a hand, but it does not affect his current general.

Yi Zhixian ignored Kirkin, but looked at Zhao Xin with a haggard face: "It was not easy to evacuate Mo Nan at the beginning, Mo Nan was lost, and now Hexi has become an isolated island, if you fight, it will be ......." ”

"Reply to the order, not if, it's already going to fight, and the soldiers are coming to the city!" Since the second king Zhao Xin took over the conversation.

Yi Zhi slanted: "Okay, well, what is the best plan for the second king?" ”

Zhao Xin thought for a while and then said: "If you go back to Da Danyu, Hexi is a better place for my Xiongnu than Monan, the land is fertile, the grassland is the majority, it is an out-and-out natural pasture, and it is the throat of the Western Regions, once Hexi is taken by the Han army, it is equivalent to taking the entire Western Regions, and directly threatening my Xiongnu Shan Yuting, the consequences are unimaginable!" ”

"Da Danyu, let the last general lead a team of people to kill him and turn his horse on his back!" Kirkin said again.

Yi Zhixian seemed to have endured enough, so he slapped his chair with his big hand and shouted: "Enough, when can you calm down, if you didn't think about being the right virtuous king all day long, would Khazar be able to turn against you?" Will you lose this hand? You think about the problem is always so simple, you pig brain? After saying that, Yi Zhixian glared at Kirkin angrily.

Seeing that Kirkin was criticized by Yi Zhixian, Zhao Xin arched his hand and said: "General, Shan is right, don't worry, this Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che is not Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, nor Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, he hit with the word Wu." ”

Kirkin may have known he was wrong, and stopped talking.

"Return!" Since the second king Zhao Xin continued to report after criticizing Kirkin: "In fact, Da Danyu doesn't have to worry too much, now the eight kings of Hexi Hun Evil King, Hutu King, Zhelan King, Luhu King and other eight kings have a total of 150,000 mercenaries, and the minister feels that it is not easy for the Han army to take Hexi in a short time, and it took Wei Qing two full years to fight the Hetao area. ”

Yi Zhixian was very panicked and contradictory in his heart, it was indeed 150,000 mercenaries, but what could he do, wasn't King Youxian also a mercenary 180,000 at the beginning? In the end, it was not destroyed by Wei Qing, and the 100,000 mercenaries of King Zuo Xian finally lost the Hetao area.

"It is definitely impossible to send reinforcements to Hexi now, and the Han army will deploy troops in Monan waiting for us to get in." Yi Zhixian is also very clear about the current situation: "What can I do about this? ”

Zhao Xin can now be said to be Yi Zhixian's adviser, since he is the king second only to Yi Zhixian, then his words must have weight: "Shan Yu doesn't have to worry, the minister also analyzed it last night, since Liu Che has targeted Hexi, then we must now ally the countries of the Western Regions and Xiqiang, so as to form a deterrent to the Han army." ”

"By the way, how are things going in the Western Regions?" Yi Zhixian suddenly thought of the Western Regions.

Zhao Xin arched his hand and said: "Back to Da Danyu, the matter of the Western Regions Alliance is now progressing steadily, and eighteen of the thirty-six countries have agreed to fight the Han army with the Xiongnu Alliance, and only Wusun, Cheshi, Qiuzi and other countries are still swaying from side to side. ”

"That's right!" Yi Zhi slanted his eyes and thought, "I heard that the Guizi Kingdom has close contacts with the Han Dynasty?" ”

Zhao Xindao: "Returning to the single Yu, but there is this matter, Zhang Qian's third stop in the Western Regions is Qiuci, King Qiuci admires the culture of the Han Dynasty, especially the silk products of the Han Dynasty, and has always had the intention to marry the Han Dynasty, which is the most arrogant one among several Western Regions countries. ”

Yi Zhi sloped: "A country that is not even as good as the tribal kingdom of Ben Danyu, what confidence does he have to be my enemy?" ”

Zhao Xindao: "Da Dan Yu doesn't know, if the Guizi Kingdom and the Han Dynasty are not separated by a Yumen Pass and Yangguan, it is estimated that they would have married a long time ago, it seems that their princess Wuyun admires the Han Dynasty very much, and sent envoys to the Han Dynasty several times along the route of Zhang Qian's envoy to the Western Regions, but we intercepted them, and now the Wusun Kingdom is also leaning on the Han Dynasty, the minister thinks that we should also solve it in a peaceful way and send the princess to make peace!" ”

"Hey......" Yi Zhixian was a little discouraged when he thought of this, the Wusun State in the Western Regions was a relatively strong country, but after the Battle of Monan, Yizhi Xian tried every means to pull Wusun, and Wusun did not fall to the side of the Xiongnu, the main reason is that because Wusun is pro-Han, to take the Western Regions, Wusun, Qiuzi These pro-Han countries are a threshold that must be crossed, otherwise the big thing will not happen.

"Okay, that's it!" Yi Zhixian was also helpless, when the Xiongnu were strong, even Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty could put down his son to marry the princess and relatives, why can't he do it, so that the influence of the Han Dynasty will be eliminated in the Western Regions, after speaking, Yi Zhixian continued to ask: "Then what now?" The Han army is already on the border and will attack at any time! ”

"Don't rush a big order!" Zhao Xin looked at a sheepskin map and said: "This is a large desert grassland, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops, the Han army is no matter how capable it is, and it will not dare to act rashly in a short time. ”

Speaking of the alliance, Yi Zhixian was angry: "When my Huns were brilliant, these guys followed me behind the Huns like dogs, and now the Qiang people have no movement, and Wei Man Xianbei is also uncertain, even Wusun in the Western Regions dares to openly get along with the Han Dynasty, look at it, sooner or later Ben Dan Yu will make them feel that they are on the wrong team!" ”

"Back to Da Danyu, this matter can't be rushed, the minister has already sent envoys to Xiqiang and Weiman Xianbei, presumably these two countries will definitely take action, because they have been dissatisfied with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che for a long time!" After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he looked at Yi Zhixian.

Yi Zhi saw that Zhao Xindu, the second king, was full of confidence, so he nodded and said, "Immediately convene Xiangguo and the household to study ......countermeasures." ”
