In the far north of the western grasslands, a soldier quickly ran to a tent: "Qi Yu Shan Yu, Right Xianwang Letter". Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Letters?". Shan Yu showed a puzzled expression, the war against Ding Ling during this period was not very smooth, if he hadn't transferred troops back from the central grassland in time, he was afraid that he would have fallen into a crisis now.

Seeing that Shan Yu was stunned, the Hun soldiers hurriedly raised the bamboo slips in their hands above their heads.

Shan Yu took the bamboo slip, slowly opened it and looked at it carefully, and then frowned. For a long time, he seemed to think of something, and his brows gradually relaxed.

"What did Shan Yu and the Right Xian King say?" King Zuogu asked Shan Yu a question.

Shan Yu put the bamboo slip on the desk and looked around the tent: "King Youxian has been captured, and our clan has now lost the central grassland."

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar, and hundreds of officials and powerful people showed incredulous eyes.

"If we say that we have lost the central grassland, we can still believe it. But King Youxian was captured, it's hard to believe."

"How could the Youxian King command 600,000 soldiers of the Youxian Wang's court to be captured by the Donghu people."

"Didn't Shan Yu warn King Youxian that if the central grassland could not be defended, he could immediately withdraw to the royal court. Under such conditions, it is impossible for the Right Xian King, who has 600,000 soldiers and horses, to be captured."

"The central grassland was originally the pasture of the Right Sage King, and I think it is the Right Sage King who is reluctant to give up his own pasture. That's why I held on, and finally I fell into the hands of the Donghu people."

Shan Yu listened to these words and shook his head slightly: "Didn't the central grassland fall into the hands of the Donghu people?"

"Not Donghu? Then it is even more unlikely to be Ding Ling. Is it annoying besides? Or is it Lin Hu? “。 The right valley Li Wang couldn't help but ask, in his cognition. There are only a few in the central steppe, known enemies.

Before he could say anything, some nobles showed a look of disbelief: "Ding Ling and my clan are in a fierce battle, and it is impossible to go south from the extreme north to the central grassland. Lin Hu and Lou are annoying, and the clan is small and the country is weak. How dare they snatch the central grassland between our clan and Donghu."

"In addition to these three tribes, is there another force in the central grassland?" King Zuogu couldn't help but ask.

Shan Yu's hand subconsciously touched the bamboo slips on the desk: "It was the hand of a force named Hancheng."

"Seoul?". The eyes of everyone in the tent all looked at Shan Yu.

Shan Yu organized his words in his heart a little: "Youxian Wang Youyan, this force called Seoul is located in the center of the central grassland. The population is about 2 million, and the army is more than 300,000."

"How can 300,000 soldiers and horses capture the lower central grasslands."

"When our clan and Donghu were recuperating in the central grasslands, Seoul sent soldiers and horses to disguise themselves as people of the two tribes. Secretly subjugated the two tribes by fighting for pastures with the same clan. At the time of the decisive battle between our clan and Donghu. Attack the hinterland of our people with the troops of Donghu. Attack the hinterland of Donghu with our troops. First cut off the Donghu grain road and prompted the Donghu army to return. Together with the troops of the Right Xian Wang, they defeated the Donghu army. At that time, they ordered the soldiers and horses in the hinterland of the central grassland of our clan to cut off the grain route of the Youxian Wang. Forcing the Right Hyun King to return to the army, Seoul took the opportunity to send the city's soldiers and horses to surround the Right Hyun King in three ways, and was defeated and captured."

"Seoul? I think it's the Han Kingdom. I don't know what the right virtuous king said in the bamboo slips." After listening to the process of Hancheng's seizure of the central grassland, King Yougu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It seems that in the east of itself, another difficult opponent has risen.

Listening to the inquiry of the king of the right valley, Shan Yu looked at the bamboo slips, and then looked around at the people in the tent again: "Negotiate peace, Hancheng wants to negotiate peace with my clan."

The word peace exploded in everyone's minds, and they never expected that Seoul, which occupies the central grassland, would actually put forward such conditions.

Looking at the silent officials who were already nobles, Shan Yu gently knocked on the bamboo slip: "Since it is a peace, then I will discuss it later."

"First of all, I want to know whether this Han country has the strength to negotiate peace with our people." King Zuogu Li immediately asked rhetorically, and all the civil and military officials and nobles reflected it and spoke out one after another.

"It's not whether they have the strength or not, but whether our clan still has the strength to crusade against the Han State at this time."

"All the grain and grass on the eastern front of our clan are hoarded in the large northern tribes of the central steppe, and the grain and grass have long fallen into the hands of the enemy at this time. If there is no matter of the Ding Ling clan, our clan can transfer grain, grass and materials from the northern line. It's a pity that it can't be used at this time. It would take at least three years to regather the grain, grass and materials to support a million-strong army on the westward expedition. What's more, with Ding Ling by his side at this time, it will be difficult to organize the Eastern Crusade for at least five years."

"As far as I know, the grain and grass of Donghu on the western front are hoarded among the large eastern tribes in the central grasslands. Then at this time, if they want to gather, support the grain and grass of a million army. Whether it is also needed, be prepared to hoard for three years".

"If Donghu does not use the grain and grass on the southern front, then they will also need to cultivate for three years before they can hoard enough grain and grass on the western front from the beginning."

"That is to say, no matter what the strength of the Han State is, our clan and Donghu will not be able to pose a threat to him within three years."

"Yes, Seoul has three years to integrate the central grasslands. When Donghu attacks, they can just defend our clan against Donghu's troops and buy time for our clan to conquer Ding Ling."

"So it seems that the matter of peace. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages for our people."

"Looking at the process of the Han Kingdom seizing the central grassland, the minister expected that the Han State was not a good type, and I am afraid that it would raise tigers for trouble."

"In the central grassland, there is the Ding Ling of the Far North in the north. There is my tribe in the west, and Donghu in the east. There are Lou Fu and Lin Hu in the south. In the middle of the cracks, looking around at strong enemies on all sides, just a few years, how much disaster can he become."

"Not to mention my clan, Donghu and Ding Ling. Let's just talk about the two clans of Lou Fu and Lin Hu, although the army is not as strong as our three clans, but they have a favorable location. If you want to conquer, even if you want to conquer it, even if it is my clan. Sometimes I have to weigh it carefully, not to mention the newly rising Han Kingdom."

Shan Yu nodded his head when he listened to these discussions, and immediately made a decision. A sense of pride quietly spread: "Since the central grassland wants it from the Han Kingdom, what if Ben Shan Yu lent them a few years." As long as they can resist the troops coming to Donghu for our clan, let our clan have enough time to conquer Ding Ling. At that time, when he was returning to the army, the central grassland could naturally be easily recovered."

"In that case, I don't know who Shan Yu plans to send as an envoy to the Han Kingdom." The right valley Liwang was shocked, and then asked Shan Yu.

Shan Yu thought about the candidate to serve as the envoy: "Didn't someone in the Lan clan defect?" It's better to let a person from the Lan clan send an envoy. As long as he can get back King Youxian and the captured officials and generals in the clan, Ben Shan Yu can not blame the past."

"Lan is grateful for the grace and will do this." A Lan nobleman was overjoyed when he heard Shan Yu's words, and hurriedly stood up from his seat with a burst of assurance.

Shan Yu seemed to think of something again: "Ben Shan Yu remembers that the person with the highest status in the Central Grassland of your Lan clan has some friendship with the person who defected. Calculating the time, now that they should be fast into my western grassland. It's better to let him make meritorious contributions."

"Yes, the minister will go back and deliver a message to him." The Lan nobles hurriedly bowed, saw Shan Yu nodding, turned around and walked out of the tent.
