What Liu Yuan didn't expect was that he would be a little out of sight. Time passed, and the Xiongnu silently developed and improved their strength, but it is unknown when the opportunity will come and when the Xiongnu's war machine will be activated.

Liu Yuan was thinking about it all day long, weighing and hesitating in his heart. For the first time, Liu Yuan had a feeling that he was not enough, and after so many years of operation, he successfully became the existence of the Huns.

In the past, the consistent process of the Xiongnu was that Liu Yuan proposed, weighed, decided, and ordered, and the noble ministers only had to obey orders. Although there was a big discussion in the event of an incident, no matter what the courtiers thought, they were finally diverted by Liu Yuan's will.

There are a lot of talents in the Xiongnu, but there are almost no people who can help Liu Yuan in the general direction of strategy. Liu Yuan had already realized that his ability would eventually have a limit, and he needed a mastermind to give him advice.

Liu Yuan's side discussed the northern attack on Xianbei with great fanfare, and did not keep it secret, and the news spread out and spread to the ears of Helian and Putou, who were fighting fiercely. Without much hesitation, the two sides tacitly agreed to call off the truce. Although it is thousands of miles away, it is not necessary.

There must be a reason for it, and they won't bet on whether Liu Yuan really goes north. Unwilling to give the Huns another chance, the destruction of Xianbei in the west made them wake up.

At this time, Liu Yuan completely calmed down the idea of sending troops. The story of Cao Cao's pacification of Hebei couldn't help but emerge in his mind, so that Putou and Helian fought again, and he waited patiently.

After the winter, the latest news came from the southern Dahan. In October, Zhang Jiao died, Guangzong City was broken, and Zhang Liang died. In November, as Huangfu Song defeated Zhang Bao in Xiaquyang, he returned to the Yellow Turban Uprising, which lasted more than half a year and caused irreparable damage to the Han Dynasty, and was declared pacified.

However, it was difficult for the Han Court to think of peace, and the Spirit Emperor realized that the ant thieves were destroyed, and the world was peaceful, so he quickly recovered and indulged in pleasure. After a stable night, the party struggle in the court resumed, and the eunuch group was arrogant, and they were very happy to fight with the scholar group.

The Qiang Rebellion in Liangzhou was in full swing, and after Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Song Yang and others joined forces, it became the climate, and after Bian Zhang, Han Sui and other Han people joined, it was even more overwhelming.

The assassin changed two stubbles, the situation was not improved at all, and the imperial court reused Xia Yu as the captain of the Qiang Protector, which did not work. The entire Liangzhou fell rapidly, the situation was erosive, more and more Qiang people joined the rebellion, and the rebel army continued to grow stronger.

Regarding the Liangzhou Rebellion, Liu Yuan paid attention to it and held the mentality of watching a play. What surprised him a little was that Bian Zhang and others actually sent people to Meiji, wanting to unite the Xiongnu to raise troops and attack the Han Dynasty together.

Liu Yuan was a little surprised by this, the rebels actually came here with the idea of beating themselves, and they were full of curiosity and summoned the envoy.

On the side hall, Liu Yuan looked at the Liangzhou rebel envoy with interest, a Qiang man and a Han scholar. Seeing Liu Yuan, the Qiang people immediately bowed and said: "See Da Shan Yu, the villain is a pious Qiang envoy, ordered by the leaders, and Mr. Zhao came to contact Da Shan Yu together, and together they raised troops to respond to the Liangzhou Righteous Army and attack the Han Dynasty." ”

"Pious Qiang?" Liu Yuan was even more surprised, and asked in a cold voice: "What, all of you Dongqiang are ready to join the Liangzhou rebels?" ”

There are several Dongqiang tribes living in Shangjun, and the Qianren Qiang is one of them, and it is adjacent to the West River. It seems that Bian Zhang and others have contacted a lot of forces, and listening to their meanings, the Qiang people in Shangjun seem to have also moved their minds.

"Han Chinese?! Why did you participate in the rebellion and turn your back on the Han? Liu Yuan was more interested in the scribe who had not spoken since entering the hall, and it could be seen that he was very calm. Middle-aged man, with flat eyes and sharp eyes, is a bit extraordinary.

"The court is unfair, and the people are struggling to survive; The Son of Heaven is mediocre, and he is fortunate to be eunuchs, and we are waiting for the rebel army, but I just conform to the will of the people! The middle-aged scribe met Liu Yuan's eyes and said lightly.

"Hehe, I heard that the Liangzhou rebellion has killed countless people, and whose people are you complying with?" Liu Yuan smiled contemptuously.

Liu Yuan clearly noticed a trace of struggle flashing between his eyebrows, but it quickly subsided. Taking a deep breath, the scribe avoided Liu Yuan's question and said loudly: "In Xia Zhaoxi, I was ordered by the two generals of Bian and Han to come here, and I want to make an agreement with the Xiongnu to raise troops. Now my Liangzhou rebel army has swept through the state and county, gathering tens of thousands, just waiting for the spring of the next year, you can directly attack Sanfu. If Da Dan Yu raised an army in Bingzhou and attacked Taiyuan and Hedong, it would not be impossible for us to attack from both sides and hit Luoyang! ”

Listening to his passionate words, Liu Yuan seemed to be moving intentionally, and bowed his head slightly. But in his heart, he sneered, Taiyuan and Hedong are so easy to attack, and as for Luoyang, it is even more wishful thinking. The plot of Bian and Han, Liu Yuan understood with a turn of his mind, the Xiongnu raised troops to attack the south in Bingzhou to contain the military and financial resources of the Han Court, and the support for the west was small, which was just convenient for his attack on Yong and Liang.

"My Huns are now friendly with the Han Dynasty, and I have always had a good impression of the Han Dynasty, and I married a princess, so I will never participate in the rebellion and betray the Han Dynasty!" Liu Yuan suddenly said sharply, with a loud voice, his eyes pressed close to Zhao Xi.

Seeing this, the Qiang envoy next to him buried his head, and Zhao Xi's heart jumped, but he talked eloquently: "If it is a big order, how can you meet us." Many years ago, Da Dan attacked and slaughtered each other, chaotically merged states, and in recent years, there has been a large-scale attack on Xianbei to enhance its strength. In the land of the Hetao, build a strong city and repair the palace, do you really have no ambition for the Han Dynasty? ”

was asked rhetorically, Liu Yuan smiled: "I know a lot!" ”

Then he closed his voice, looked at the Qiang envoy, and ordered: "You go back and tell the leaders of Dongqiang that Ben Shan Yu has agreed, and he will raise troops to attack the Han in the coming year!" ”

Zhao Xi and Qiang were overjoyed when they heard this, but they didn't expect Liu Yuan to agree so abruptly. Just as he was about to say something polite, he was stopped by Liu Yuan: "You go down first, I have something to say to Mr. Zhao!" ”

Glancing at Zhao Xi, the Qiang envoy turned around and left. Zhao Xi was left alone, a little puzzled, and he didn't know what happened to Liu Yuan.

Seeing Zhao Xi, who was still standing in the hall and waiting for him to speak, Liu Yuan said in a harmonious voice: "I see Mr. Zhao as calm and wise, with a lot of knowledge, and a heart of love for talents. The Xiongnu are short of talents, and you don't have to go back to Liangzhou to follow those traitors, stay in Bingzhou to serve this single Yu, and this single is to Xu your position as the county magistrate! ”

After speaking, he didn't ask Zhao Xi's opinion, so he asked people to lead him down and make other arrangements. Zhao Xi was a little helpless, very depressed in his heart, and what made him feel even more wrong was that Liu Yuan still called the "Liangzhou Righteous Army" a traitor.

Without caring about Zhao Xi, the Qiang envoy quickly brought back "good news" from Meiji, which made the Dongqiang leaders in Shangjun happy. The Xiongnu were strong, and if the Xiongnu also participated in the rebellion, then they could raise troops with confidence.

In the spring of the second year of Zhongping, the Qiang people in Shangjun rebelled in response to the Liangzhou rebels. For a time, it swept through the counties, the county governance was broken, and the Taishou was killed.

On Liu Yuan's side, he calculated the time and spread the news of the Qiang rebellion to Luoyang in advance, and took the initiative to send troops to help quell the rebellion. The court princes, who were anxious about the intensifying rebellion in Liangzhou, had even more headaches, and the Xiongnu were willing to send troops to quell the rebellion, and some people immediately agreed.

However, some people raised objections, the Huns wolf ambition should not be trusted. It was another debate, and in the end, it was supported by Taiwei Cui Lie, and Emperor Ling made a decision.

The Qiang people, who were reveling in the upper county, finally got the news that the Xiongnu had raised troops, but unfortunately they were the target of thousands of Xiongnu iron cavalry.
