The border between Dai County and Bing Prefecture has mountains, jungles, desolate and barren, and inaccessible.

Except for the occasional tribal cavalry who come here to hunt, only the patrols of the Xiongnu and the Xuanjia Army will visit occasionally.

Both sides built a number of outposts and beacon towers on the frontier to facilitate the reporting of information.

However, for the people of the Xiongnu Kingdom, their own beacon tower is not so important, because the soldiers and horses of Youzhou will hardly attack, and if they come, they will not be able to stop it at all, and people will not care about their own small outpost.

Therefore, the guards in the Xinjiang outpost here are very slack, hardly practiced, and gambling in crowds is light.

Sometimes, the soldiers will sneak out together, find a small town in the distance, find a game, order wine and food or something - of course, they dare not invade the small towns and townships in Youzhou, if they provoke the Xuanjia Army, it is a dead word, so it is the villages and towns of Bingzhou that suffer.

Today, as usual, they returned with a full load, and in the convoy were several young women, bound hand and foot, thrown on a flatbed truck full of weeds, and dragged to the outpost.

The soldiers were full of oil, their bodies were full of alcohol, and some of them were still humming a little song, showing that they were in a good mood.

"Team leader, these girls are ...... today"

Someone was laughing with someone, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped.

Knock knock!

The tremor on the ground made a few drunken soldiers sober up a little.

"What's wrong? Earthquake? ”

Just as these people were gradually panicking, the burly team leader was suddenly stunned, and then pointed to the front with a frightened face, and opened his mouth to exclaim: "It's not an earthquake, it's a ...... It's the Xuanjia Army! ”

Everyone followed his fingers, and then their faces changed drastically.

In the distance, a pitch-black army was rushing towards it like a black wind, covering the sky and the earth, and the earthquake was blowing everywhere it passed, as if it was about to swallow everything in its path!

Bang Dang!

One of the pawn's weapons fell to the ground.

I don't know who shouted "run"!

This squad of soldiers immediately gave up their duties and scattered as birds and beasts!

………………

"Youzhou will definitely not send troops!"

In the camp outside Luoyang City, a controversy broke out again.

Different from yesterday's chaos, this time it was to discuss the impact of the emperor's death on the situation, and the civil and military forces, Han and Hu were still arguing on reason, and no conflict broke out, but they just insisted on their own words, and there was no result at all.

"Enough!" Shi Le said in a deep voice, relying on his majesty, he barely controlled the scene, but then he frowned and said: "Let you come, is to let you express your opinions, talk about how to choose later, whether to continue to attack Luoyang and occupy the surrounding counties and counties, or to collect troops as soon as possible to prevent changes in Youzhou and disturb Jizhou!" It's good for you guys, quarrels come and go, it's still a question of where to fight! ”

Youzhou!

Hearing Shi Le say this, everyone understood and knew what the biggest problem was.

It is rumored that the relationship between General Zhengbei and the emperor in Youzhou is particularly close, not only does the emperor trust him, but Chen Zhengbei also makes gestures many times to support the emperor.

Now that the emperor has died, it is difficult to guarantee that the Zhengbei General's Mansion, which has been honestly immersed in development, will not suddenly erupt, so that the backyard of these people will not be peaceful.

"It's not just Youzhou," Nie Daoren, who was already bearded, walked out, "Your Majesty...... If something like this happens, everyone in the world will be resentful, even if it is the three kings who have fled, I am afraid that they will have to raise their banners and avenge the king, and the Jiangzuo clan will also have movements, that's it...... The soldiers who have surrendered in this state are not guaranteed to be repeated, and if they continue to use troops, it is very likely that there will be hidden dangers! ”

This scholar, who was born as a descendant of the Buddhist family, gritted his teeth when he spoke, revealing his hatred for the Huns!

Just looking at this scene, Shi Le knew very well that although his strong authority could suppress it for a while, it was not as orthodox as the Central Plains after all, and Nie Daoren's reminder was not groundless.

"The offensive against other parts of Sizhou is slow, but the siege of Luoyang can't be stopped, the city is surrounded by us, they don't know the news, don't worry about variables, and even if they know, they just resist desperately, what's the difference? Keep attacking! Be sure to take this city! Among them, if you can plunder, you will save a few years of hard work! ”

Shi Le quickly made a decision, in his opinion, the Huns wanted to arrest the emperor, but they got away with it, and made such a big battle, but they covered themselves, otherwise at other times, they took the capital of the Central Plains Dynasty, I don't know how much trouble to make, now it's good, they have to fight the Huns, and it is estimated that few people here will take care of it.

Of course, what is really worrying is the movement in Youzhou.

When everyone dispersed, Shi Le specially left Nie Daoren and asked him what he thought.

"If you look at Youzhou's past advocacy, it is obvious that you still have to bury your head in development, and even if you want to move, it is also aimed at the Huns."

"In other words, if Chen Zhi has the heart to avenge the emperor, he will not come to fight Jizhou," Shi Le relaxed slightly, and then a flash of inspiration, "We are almost certain that eighty percent of his Chen clan is going to send troops, and the Huns are not weak, once the two fight, how can they decide the winner in a short time?" Can we make a profit? ”

Nie Daoren was not surprised by this proposal, but asked rhetorically: "Is the general interested in Youzhou, or is it merging with the state?" ”

"The Xiongnu have been in business for many years, and there are still mountains between it and Jizhou, so it is not easy to attack," Shi Le said, revealing a contemplative attitude, "In contrast, Youzhou has only been operated by the Chen family for five years, and the grain and grass are abundant, and it is also connected to Jizhou. ”

"If you want to merge the state, you can prepare, and you can also take the lead, otherwise after a long time, Tuoba and Tiefu will all make a move, and they will have to compete with them, and they can't all merge the state," Nie Daoren obviously came prepared, "As for Youzhou......"

"How's it going in Youzhou?"

Nie Daoren pondered for a while, and then said: "If you want to Youzhou, you can't move first, you have to wait and see what happens, if the Xuanjia army and the Xiongnu army are evenly matched, you can plan it, if the Xuanjia army is weak, you can march, if the Xuanjia army is strong, then you will not move, otherwise there will be disaster." ”

When Shi Le heard this, he was silent, and finally only said to wait and see what happened.

When Nie Daoren left, a soldier came to report, saying that there was a general, named Zhao Ran, who said that he wanted to take refuge.

Shi Le pondered for a moment, and then asked Zhao Ran to bring him.

Three days later, Guanzhong was convinced.

"Your Majesty...... The emperor was harmed by the Hun thieves! ”

The king of Huainan looked up to the sky and cried bitterly, and the king of Chu scolded for the first time, and the civil and military officials who entered the customs with them were even more mournful.

However, in the midst of the grief of the people, one man stepped forward and said to the two kings, who were weeping silently: "Wait and mourn, there are three great things at the moment, which must be carried out!" ”

This man is Zhang Ying.

The king of Chu calmed down a little, wiped his tears, and asked, "Zhang Jun said, what are the three things?" ”

Zhang Ying arched his hand, raised his voice, and said-

"First, call on the people of the world to fight the Huns!"

"Second, order the Huns to send the dragon body into the customs!"

"Third, the prince should be ordered to wait for the throne, and the heart of the people will be reassured!"
