"Da Danyu, is it a little too hasty, the situation on Xianbei's side is chaotic, and he rashly sends troops, just afraid of falling into the quagmire of Xianbei's infighting. Don't wait and see what happens, and then attack when the situation is clear! Zuo Prime Minister Lan Zhi suggested tentatively.

"Time doesn't wait for me, and Ben Danyu doesn't want to wait any longer. Over the years, Xianbei's strength has been weakened, and it is a giant with feet of clay, and there is no need to be afraid. I, the Huns, must move early, this time to the north, this single Yu at least to take the five plains, Yunzhong two counties! Hearing Lan Zhi's "weak" expression, Liu Yuan said coldly.

Liu Yuan summoned the ministers, just to give a notice, but it was not a time-consuming discussion. Seeing that Lan Zhi no longer spoke, the others didn't dare to say more. Turning to a few Han people in the hall, they were generally silent.

Liu Yuan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly looked at Wang Rou: "Wang Rou, what do you think of this discussion?" ”

was named by Liu Yuan, and everyone's attention in the hall was focused on Wang Rou. Wang Rou was expressionless, and saluted Liu Yuan: "Since the big order has been decided, the soldiers over there will be decisively mobilized and everything will be ready." There was a slight move in the north, and he immediately raised troops to the north and quickly took the second county. ”

Seeing that Liu Yuan was unmoved, Wang Rou seemed to think for a while, and suddenly said: "The minister thinks that the goal of Da Danyu should not only be placed in Wuyuan and Yunzhong two counties, and now the two counties do not have to be in dilapidation, even if they are taken, there is no more benefit." The Xianbei army, troops, cattle, horses, and livestock are the important things, and they are the things that can be transformed into the strength of the Xiongnu as soon as possible! ”

"Huh!" Liu Yuan chuckled twice when he heard this: "Wang Rou, this single Yu really didn't mistake you!" Hearing Liu Yuan say this, Wang Rou, who had been holding her face, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

With Liu Yuan's order, the war machine of the Xiongnu, which had been silent for a long time, was activated again. The collection of soldiers, the distribution of weapons, the preparation of ordnance materials, sheep, livestock, grain and grass.

Liu Yuan personally controlled the scheduling operation, which was a little sluggish, but compared with a few years ago, the efficiency has improved more than a notch. However, on the third day, Liu Yuan recruited 30,000 troops from the central and left Xiongnu.

Everything went quietly and in an orderly manner. Regarding Lan Zhi's old words, Liu Yuan still listened to it, and it would be too late to leak the news later. The area around Meiji has been completely cordoned off, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

In Meiji South City, in a post house next to the merchant inn, a group of business travelers waited with solemn faces. Looking out through the cracks in the doors and windows, groups of Hun soldiers patrolled back and forth, tightly controlling the entire city.

The big move of the Huns, the summoning of the army, the people in Meiji City can clearly feel that the aura of slaughter is terrifying. "The Huns have made a big move again, I don't know what the goal is this time? Do you want to invade the south and make a big man? A middle-aged Han merchant with a goatee said with a little worry.

Since the Xiongnu took the initiative to befriend the Han Dynasty, due to Liu Yuan's reform of the Xiongnu, more and more merchants went to the Xiongnu to trade and pan for gold. This Han merchant is one of them, from Jizhou, who has traveled back and forth to the Xiongnu twice a year in recent years, and has made a lot of profits.

The environment of the Xiongnu made them very happy, and after being stable for so long, they had long been accustomed to the "harmony" and "tranquility" of Meiji. Who expected that this time Fang went to Meiji, and before the goods were traded, they encountered the Huns and raised swords.

"The head of the family, Meiji has been completely blocked, and the market is restricted, what should we do?" A servant asked with some fear when he saw the fierce Hun soldiers on the street.

Shaking his head, he took a deep breath: "What else, I can't even get out of the post house, just stay safe." There must be a war in the northern Xinjiang, and I am afraid that it is better to stay safe in Meiji City outside, and leave it to fate! ”

Some of them lack confidence, and middle-aged Han businessmen are really worried. If the Xiongnu target other things, it's fine, if they really turn against the Han and invade the south, then what should happen to these Han merchants.

Not to mention worrying about the situation in the northern border of the Han Dynasty, he has invested a lot in this trip, if it is really as he fears, the goods will be confiscated at that time, and the blood will be lost. Whether his life can be saved is also a question. Businessmen, no matter when, always think first of all about their own interests.

A few days later, quietly, Liu Yuan personally led an army of 35,000 to the north. With such a large army movement, it is almost impossible to completely hide from the outside world. At least Taiyuan Taishou Zangmin, who had been paying attention to the Huns, received first-hand news after the Huns army went north.

Jinyang County guarded the mansion indoors, after listening to the messenger's report, waving his hand to let him go down, Zang Min couldn't help but cough twice. Zang Hong next to him saw it, and hurriedly said with concern: "Father, please take care of your body!" ”

Stroking his chest, Zang Min shook his head: "It's okay!" You also heard it just now, what do you think of the actions of the Huns? ”

Zang Hong's body relaxed slightly, and he thought for a while: "According to the current situation in the north, the goal of the Xiongnu is only Xianbei." The affirmative expression was slightly hesitant, and then added: "However, it is not ruled out that he will target my big man, although Liu Yuan is good friends with my big man, but his wolf ambition is obvious, and he can't relax." ”

"My son has grown a lot in recent years." After listening to Zang Hong's analysis, Zang Min was very relieved, and then said in a deep voice: "Liu Yuan has been silent for so many years, this must be a big move, and it must be guarded against." Taiyuan must be on guard, and send a message to Guo Yi, the Taishou of Yanmen, to ask him to be careful and not to be taken advantage of by the Huns! ”

"No!"

Liu Yuan didn't have the heart to pay attention to Zang Min's jealousy of him, so the army quickly moved north to Shanan, joined up the prepared Xubu Chiyi and Helan Dangfu, and crossed the river north to Jiling.

The news from the south and east was difficult to block, but in the north, Liu Yuan invested a large number of scout knights to block the junction of the Xiongnu and Xianbei spheres of influence in the south of Yunzhong. When the Xianbei people reacted, Liu Yuan didn't care about it at that time.

The army is strict, the flags are fluttering, and the cantonment is arranged. In the royal tent, Liu Yuan summoned Xu Bu Chiyi and Helan Dangfu to inquire about Xianbei affairs, the two of them have been rooted in the north for many years, and they are on the front line, and many details still need to be clarified.

Since Guang was degraded before, Helan Dangfu became more and more calm, and worked diligently and attentively in the Shanan-Dingxiang domain. The coalition army of the people, together with Xubu Chiyi, maintained the northern Xiongnu and monitored Xianbei.

"I've wronged you all these years!" Liu Yuan's voice was low, looking at Helan Dangfu's face full of weather, and said lightly: "At the end of this campaign, I will reinstate you as an official." ”

Helan Dangfu still had that calm expression, and there was not much fluctuation: "Xie Da Danyu!" ”

"Tell me, what's going on with Helian?"

Seeing Liu Yuan looking at him, Xu Bu Chiyi immediately reported: "Da Dan Yu and the Lian Tong army have penetrated deep into the western border, and the Xianbei tribes in the west have also gathered 30,000 troops to fight with them in the surrendered city area. The distance is far away, the transmission of information is difficult, and it is not clear what the specific situation of the war is now. The minister thought that my army had been sent, and now I can't wait for the news to come from there, so I should quickly attack the two counties of Luoyunzhong and Wuyuan in the north! ”

Liu Yuan subconsciously nodded slightly and asked, "Do you think He Lian can win this battle?" ”

"The two sides have each other's advantages and disadvantages, and it is impossible to predict!"
