The Xiongnu envoy was wearing a trouser pleated suit and a pointed hat on his head, and when he saw Cao Zhang, he touched his shoulder with his hand and said: "The envoy of the Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian King, Huluoduo, see Lord Cao, the ruling Jin Wu of the Han Dynasty!" ”

Cao Zhang, hearing him call himself like this, knew that Liu Bao had investigated his identity clearly, and said with a smile: "Envoy is polite, sit!" ”

When Huluotao heard this, he said, "Thank you, thank you, for your seat, but please allow me to present the letter from my lord Zuoxian, the king of the Southern Xiongnu, and the eldest daughter of the most noble Xianlingqiang patriarch, Mi Xun. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "After speaking, he took out two rolls of plain silk sealed with fire paint from his sleeve and handed them to Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang's results and then let Huluoduo sit down, and then opened Liu Bao's silk to watch first, in the letter Liu Bao said that he and Mi Xun on the last day of July sent troops to Huangzhong Yi Conghu and Jincheng Yi Conghu where Hu was located, and when they wrote to Cao Zhang, they also broke Huang Zhongyi's Khan court, and its leader Bian Jing, the son of Bian Zhang, had fled from the weakened army, and they were heading to Jincheng Yi from Hu's Khan's court.

Cao Zhang smiled at Huluoduo after playing with this scroll of silk: "King Zuo Xian is really brave and good at fighting, and Huang Zhongyi has been entrenched in Pingyang County for many years, and now he has broken it in one fell swoop. ”

Huluoduo said: "Lord Mingjian, the reason why Huangzhong Yiconghu and Jincheng Yiconghu can gain a foothold on the Pingyang border is because they are left and right between Xianlingqiang and Tuoba Xianbei, and now Xianlingqiang has turned against each other, plus my Southern Xiongnu army, they will naturally be defeated." ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said, "I see!" So aren't the nobles and Xian Lingqiang just Tuoba Xianbei fighting each other? ”

Huluoduo said: "Lord Hui, King Zuoxian said that Lord Cao is our eternal friend of the Zuoxian royal court, and Tuoba Xianbei wants to make enemies with us, so it is up to them." ”

Cao Zhang smiled and said: "Then I thank Zuo Xian Wang for his good intentions!" As he spoke, he unfolded the smoked plain silk and looked at it.

Mi Xun said in the letter that she expected that Huang Zhongyi Conghu and Jincheng Yiconghu would not be opponents of the Southern Xiongnu, so after the defeat, they would inevitably go to Tuoba Xianbei's territory, but she had already sent a letter for the clansmen to stay on the way to intercept, and then forced them to the two cities of Beiqu and Huxi, which they themselves supported, and at the same time suggested that Cao Zhang send troops to crusade immediately after the rainy season, as for Liu Bao's Southern Xiongnu army and his own Xianlingqiang army would block Tuoba Xianbei's army for Cao Zhang, After they conquered the two cities of Beiqu and Huxi, they could march to attack Puzi City, which was controlled by Tuoba Xianbei.

After Cao Zhang finished reading Su Juan, he asked Huluoduo, "Do you have anything else to convey to King Zuo Xian and Miss Mi Xun?" ”

Huluoduo said: "Lord Hui, King Zuo Xian asked for the canonization of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty for the Southern Xiongnu, and Mi Xun asked for the Lord to sell them some iron ore for Xian Lingqiang. ”

Cao Zhang was silent for a while when he heard this, and asked, "King Zuo Xian wants me to canonize the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu to the Son of Heaven?" Why is that? ”

Huluoduo said: "My Southern Xiongnu was composed of many Xiongnu tribes who jointly surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and there were also Xiongnu Zhonglang generals at that time, and Shan Yu was canonized by the Son of Heaven in all dynasties, but later there was a problem within the Han Dynasty, Shan Yu could not be canonized, and could only be obtained by force, the Han people have a saying, called the name is not right, then it is not good, so although we are named Shan Yu, but there are still many tribes who are not convinced, their excuse is that Shan Yu has not been canonized by the Son of Heaven, and even a few tribes have migrated to the Xiliang border, took refuge in Ma Teng and Han Sui. ”

Cao Zhangqi said: "Took refuge in Ma Teng and Han Sui? When did this excuse for dishonesty come about? ”

Hurodo thought for a moment and replied, "Probably a few years ago." ”

"!!! a few years ago" Cao Zhang subconsciously thought of the Sima family who is now settled in Xiliang, only the Han people will use this excuse to make waves, the Sima family must have used property to buy off some of the leaders of the Xiongnu tribes to let them join the Xiliang army, just to make the clansmen follow willingly, so they played such a banner, this is a dangerous signal, Ma Teng and Han Sui have the help of the Sima family, and are expanding their power.

I didn't know what the situation in Guanzhong was like this, Cao Zhang thought secretly, and said, "I agreed!" Presumably, the Son of Heaven will also agree! As for buying and selling iron ore, I can also agree, but there must be a limit on the quantity. ”

Hu Luo Duoxi said: "My lord is wise, in this case, I can call back to King Zuo Xian and Miss Mixun." ”

Cao Zhang said: "The envoy can be in Linfen for a few days, and our army will soon send troops to attack the three counties of Beiqu, Huxi, and Puzi, so that it is safer to walk with our army." ”

Huluoduo said: "Thank you for your kindness, but the little one still wants to go back as soon as possible to tell King Zuo Xian and Mi Xun the good news." ”

Cao Zhang said: "Okay then! I will prepare a few good horses for your envoy to transfer, I heard that the Huns can ride a horse and lead two horses, one for carrying grain, and one for transfer. ”

Huroda said, "We can do the same with our sons and daughters who grew up in the grasslands!" ”

Cao Zhang smiled, called the guards in and said, "Take this Huluoduo envoy to choose a few good horses for him to go back." ”

Cao Zhang, who waited for him to leave, immediately sent a letter to Cao Cao, who had returned to Xudu to recuperate, explaining the situation of the Southern Xiongnu and Xian Lingqiang, and expressing his concern about the westward migration of tribes from the Southern Xiongnu to the west, and at the same time inquiring about the war in Guanzhong.

After writing the letter, Cao Zhang immediately sent someone to send it to Xudu, and then summoned Xiahou Nan, Zhao Yun, Gongsun Xu, and Zhang Yan and said: "Now that the rainy season is about to pass, it is also time to raise troops, and the four are the generals in our army, so the whole army before the army can be done well, and there is another thing, the Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian King and Xian Lingqiang have been loyal to our Han Dynasty, and at this time they have helped us defeat Huangzhongyi's Bian Jing from Hu and Jincheng Yiconghu's Li Wenhou, and then they will help us block Tuoba Xianbei's reinforcements, In this way, our task is only Beiqu, Huzi and Puzi, according to the Xiongnu envoy just now, Bian Jing and Li Wenhou may have fled to Beiqu and Huzi, and these two people will be captured alive! You can tell your generals. ”

After the four of them agreed in unison, Zhang Yan spoke: "My lord, will our army continue to use the surrounding villagers to consume the enemy's siege artifacts this time?" ”

Cao Zhang said: "Soldiers, tricks, once is tricky, twice is a mediocre method, the other party must also be prepared, this siege method can be discussed afterwards." After pondering for a while, Cao Zhang said: "Maybe after we lay down Puzi, Beiqu and Huzi will surrender without a fight." ”

The generals were confused, but they had always been convinced of Cao Zhang's wisdom so they didn't speak, Cao Zhang called the guards in after they dispersed and said: "Pen and ink waiting, I want to repair a book to Guanzhong!" (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
