Sending Huang Zhong to serve in the Marquis Fang Liang of Guangping in Jinan, Huang Zhong did not have any resistance, took the letter written by Gao Shun, and set off immediately with a junior cavalry and dozens of middle-level civil and military officials. Fastest updates

Yan Rou set off with Huang Zhong to Lishan University in Jinan, where he must study there for three years in peace and then return to take up his post according to Gao Shun's requirements; Gao Shun listened to Tian Feng's explanation, and felt that this child was a pillar of talent, and he was ready to cultivate it.

At the same time, he sent a letter to Cheng Li to transfer Zhang Meng to Jinan and obey the dispatch of Fang Liang, the Marquis of Guangping.

Gao Shun believed that with the addition of Huang Zhong and Zhang Meng, Fang Liang would definitely be able to successfully pacify the two counties and establish a powerful army; If you can successfully accept the thieves such as Zang Ba and Bu Ji, your strength will not be inferior to Zhou Fei.

Just sent Huang Zhong away, and in the afternoon of the same day, Taoyuan Fort welcomed two uninvited guests at the same time.

The first one who had been to Taoyuan Fort many times, was the second thousandth commander of the Zuo General Department sent by King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu, and came to negotiate the reward he received when he attacked Shangjun a year ago.

Due to the heavy snow that closed the road a year ago, it could not be transported, and there was no shortage of food in a short period of time for the Zuoxian Wang's department, so he did not come to contact until the new year.

The formalities are complete, there are the seals and signatures of Zhou Fei and Guan Yu, and Zhou Fei has confirmed in his previous letter, and the grain of more than 100,000 stone has been verified to be correct, Gao Shun ordered Ma Gui to negotiate with the Xiongnu envoy, and it can be paid immediately.

Gao Shun didn't want to affect his credibility among the Huns because of such a small amount of food; Considering that there must be a time to use the Hun cavalry in the future, it was necessary to appease the Huns and stabilize relations with the Huns at this time.

Ma Gui put forward two opinions, either continue to transport grain from Sanchakou Fort, and continue to use the large battalion previously established by the Huns for transit; Either delivery will be made at Yangping Fort on the border between the two sides.

The Xiongnu envoys chose the second delivery method, which would save them a lot of capacity.

Now, the Xiongnu have re-established a large camp on the south bank of the Weifen River, in the location of Shixing County in later Shixing, which can not only defend against the southern invasion of the Gaoshun forces, but also serve as a transit point for trade with the Gaoshun forces.

If the delivery is carried out in Yangping Fort, it is very convenient for the transportation of the Huns.

The Xiongnu envoy was very satisfied with the handling of Taoyuan Fort, and after negotiating the delivery time and process with Ma Gui, he hurriedly returned to the delivery early the next morning.

Ma Gui's move is to reduce transportation costs; The four small forts along the river in the west under the jurisdiction of the Lan Fort are all guarded by the system people, and they can use his space ring to transport grain there, or Gao Shun can take the time to go once, and he can leave all the grain in the local area and complete the delivery without leaking the news.

Another visitor, no one expected, turned out to be a Xianbei envoy, but it was an authentic Han Chinese.

Gao Shun invited him to the study, leaving only Ma Gui and Li Qiang to accompany him.

Li Qiang was very angry, and first scolded: "As a Han Chinese, why do you want to be a barbarian lackey?" What does it mean to forget your ancestors? ”

The messenger blushed and could not speak.

Gao Shun didn't care about these trivial things, thinking that if he could do things for Xianbei, he must have ulterior motives, either the whole family was robbed to the Xianbei tribe, or he fled to the Xianbei tribe, and it may even be the Han people who were stranded in the original land. So he asked, "Which tribe are you coming on?" So what's going on? ”

The Xianbei envoy hurriedly saluted Gao Shun respectfully and said: "Prince, I was sent by the western Xianbei Budugen to negotiate the matter of befriending the Han court. ”

Now, King Helian still regards himself as the King of Xianbei, while Budugen and others regard themselves as the Xianbei tribe in the west; Under the squeeze and blow of Gao Shun's forces, there is already a rift between them, and Bu Dugen's move is to find a way back in advance.

Now Gao Shun has arranged a lot of scouts in the border area, and he knows the Xianbei tribe very clearly, the Budugen tribe is located in Yunzhong County, and it is the territory he will recover this year, how can he talk about it with the Budugen tribe? Otherwise, how to recover Yunzhong County?

So, Gao Shun retorted: "You and others rob countless people of my Han every year, endangering the security of our Han border. ”

The Xianbei envoy's face was red when he was refuted, and he was very embarrassed, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Junhou, it is better to settle the grievances, the previous wars were endless, all of them were done by the former Xianbei king Tan Shihuai, who has been dead for many years, and in the past few years, our Budugen tribe has not had any conflict with the Han, and our king Budugen has been committed to the Han for a long time, and is willing to be a vassal to the Han court." ”

The Xianbei envoy is a Han person, and he knows that the important ministers of the Han Dynasty are all happy and cherish their reputation, and if they are ministers to the Han Dynasty, they will make a great contribution to it, and there is no reason to refuse; And before that, the Han court wanted to crown Tan Shihuai and others as kings several times, but they were all refused, and now they took the initiative to call them ministers, and the Han officials definitely couldn't ask for it, and warmly welcomed it; However, he met Gao Shun, which was destined to disappoint him.

Gao Shun smiled at this and said: "Hehe, you are now occupying the territory of my Han Dynasty and bullying my Han people, but you want to be a vassal to the Han Dynasty, which is a plan against the guest!" How can you let your tricks succeed? ”

The Xianbei envoy was not discouraged, thinking that this was Gao Shun raising his bargaining chips, so he smiled and said: "Hehe, Junhou, the mutual market is something that the people on both sides have been looking forward to for a long time, and the peace talks are beneficial to both sides, and they can permanently end the war and coexist peacefully, so why not?" ”

Ma Gui also lost patience and was unwilling to negotiate with the Xianbei envoy, so he said: "If you want to negotiate peace, you must meet our qualifications?" ”

& Conditions? The messenger asked.

& The Xianbei people must withdraw from the territory of our Han Dynasty and return to our Han people. ”

Neither of these two items can be the messenger's decision, and he thinks that even if Budugen has a heart for the big man, he will not easily agree, so he said: "This is difficult for a strong man!" The king of Budugen could not agree with all difficulties. ”

Li Qiang said angrily: "Since this is the case, then see you on the battlefield, why bother talking?" ”

The envoy was shocked, when did the Han officers and soldiers become so tough? If this had been the case a long time ago, he would not have been in prison; It seems that King Budugen's judgment is right, the Han people are so tough, they will definitely regain the lost territory, and war is inevitable; The Han Dynasty has a large number of personnel and rich materials, if it is mobilized, its strength is very terrifying, how can Xianbei be the enemy? It's a good idea to plan ahead.

The envoy of Budugen still did not give up, so he asked rhetorically: "In that case, why did the prince sign a good-neighborly agreement with the king of Queju?" ”

Gao Shun thought to himself, these barbarian news is really well-informed, so he explained: "Hehe, let me tell you the truth, the recovery of the homeland is the request of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, we have no right to call the shots, Yunzhong County and Wuyuan County we are determined to win, and we cannot allow us to negotiate peace, and the land occupied by the king is poor, and it is the land abandoned by the Han Dynasty, which cannot be said in the same day." ”

Eventually, the messenger of Budugen left disappointed.

Li Qiang was very excited and asked, "Lord, when will we recover Yunzhong County and Wuyuan County?" ”

Gao Shun said with a smile: "According to the established plan, the attack after the autumn, the climate was suitable at that time, it was convenient to use troops, and at that time Zhou Fei had already recovered Shangjun, Guan Yu had already entered the Xiongnu Shan Yu camp, they could threaten the safety of Xianbei from Henan, we attacked from the east, in order to avoid being surrounded, I estimate that the Xianbei people will definitely retreat without a fight, this is the momentum!" ”

Li Qiang was dissatisfied: "My lord, every time it is an easy victory, the troops will lose the ability to fight big battles and hard battles." ”

Gao Shun explained: "Hehe, why make indifferent sacrifices? The reason why I didn't let Zhou Fei recover Beidi County and Anding County was that I hoped that the Xianbei people would be driven away by us, lose their existing territory, and force them to rob the Qiang and Xiongnu territories in order to survive. Besides, if all the barbarians are wiped out at present, do you think Your Majesty will be able to spare us? ”

Ma Gui and Li Qiang smiled bitterly, what Gao Shun said was the truth, if there was no external pressure, they would lose their use value, and the court and scholars would not let them go free in northern Xinjiang.
