It is undeniable that the Chinese nation is a strange nation, she can fight internally, and fight between her own clan for hegemony or selfish interests, but once it is invaded by foreign races, her members will always briefly stop fighting with the outside world! Of course, the premise is that the pressure from foreign races is so great that it threatens the living space of the Chinese nation!

Nowadays, the pressure from foreign races is not small, although no one admits it, including Lin Bin himself, but it is precisely because of the oppression of foreign races such as the Xiongnu that they cannot fight inwardly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The hostility of the Han State to the Han Department is not a day or two, do not say that the rulers of the Han State did not think of sending troops to attack the Han State, the Son of Heaven mentioned the declaration of war many times, this is the attitude of the Han State, so what is the reason why the Han State has always wanted to fight and did not send troops? The reason is that the pressure exerted by the Xiongnu on the Han State was so great that the Han State had to consider whether once the army was sent to attack the Han Department, it would cause a situation where the snipe and the clam competed for the benefit of the fisherman.

A war between two forces with the same roots and origins will definitely give the alien Xiongnu an advantage, which is why the Han State is angry but has always restrained it.

In addition, there have always been a lot of troubles in the Han Kingdom, in addition to the Xiongnu in the north and the Huainan family in the interior, the South Vietnam in the south, and the ethnic minorities in the northwest, including the Qian, Qiang, Di, etc., the trouble is already big enough, and the contradictions with the Han can only outweigh the losses.

What about Lin Bin? He hadn't thought that far ahead, he just didn't want to attack the Han Kingdom, so it could be said that he didn't want to make a big move unless he was forced to do it. Lin Bin didn't want to, so what did the other members of the Han Department think? Of course, there are also unavoidable reasons, and there are other enemies that must be dealt with in the Han Department at present. For example, Wei's Korea, Nanwo, Beiwo, Xianbei, and even the largest and most threatening enemy, the Xiongnu.

Frankly, the main classes on both sides want to fight it out. However, when the surrounding enemies were not resolved, the war between the Han and the Han State could not be fought at all.

The situation is always extremely complex, and people should always think about the consequences of doing what they want to do.

Right now......

Lin Bin thought through the most basic layer, looking at the reactions of the envoys of the Han State, Liu An, the king of Huainan, definitely reached an agreement with the Xiongnu, this agreement will seriously threaten the survival of the Son of Heaven of the Han State, so that the matter of putting down his body and submitting the credentials of the state has happened.

As mentioned earlier. If the Xiongnu wanted to enter the Central Plains, they had to get rid of the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty that were blocking the outside.

The Xiongnu were preparing for the Central Plains as early as five years ago, and the military ministers poured out, and 300,000 Hun cavalry turned to the west. Large-scale invasion of the Western Regions, once captured six small countries in the Western Regions, including Pu, Pu Houguo, Yiwu, etc., and the front line of the battle also advanced to the second strongest country in the Western Regions, Cheshi State, that time if it was not for Lin Bin to lead the army to inadvertently break the siege. Whether the Western Regions can exist is still unknown (historically annexed). In this way, the Western Regions was grateful to the Han Department.

Lin Bin turned his head to look at Lu Yan and asked, "Did the Xianbei who was defeated by us some time ago join the Huns?" ”

Lu Yan's reaction was fast: "Yes, Your Majesty." More than 200,000 Xianbei people moved west to attach themselves to the Xiongnu Shan Yuting, and it was conservatively estimated that it could add 50,000 troops to the Xiongnu. ”

The guests of the Han Kingdom listened curiously, they knew less about the outside of the Saiwai, and hoped to hear some useful information.

Liu Che was in a sullen mood, he calculated carefully, Lin Bin had fought a lot of large-scale wars so far. The battle to destroy Su Shen has been spread in the Han Kingdom, and the peaceful annexation of Wuhuan and Fuyu has made the Han high-level leaders, including him, envious. Now I hear that a big tribe has been beaten and attached to the Huns, and my heart is really mixed, and since I am happy, I am very helpless.

Many people sighed in their hearts: "Why is he not the general of the Han Kingdom!" ”

Lin Bin didn't care what the Han guests were thinking, he still went his own way.

"Considering that the current situation has changed from a year ago, and due to the existential pressure within the Xiongnu, some compromises have been made between the Xiongnu nobles......"

"Your Majesty, the last general thought that the military minister Shan Yu must have received a lot of troops from the nobles of various departments, and the troops lost by the Xiongnu in the Western Regions have been restored a little earlier, and even increased, and the current strength of the Xiongnu is definitely more than 200,000, and it is conservatively estimated that there should be about 350,000."

"So that means that Xianbei will add at least 400,000 more?"

Meng Zhao nodded speechlessly, 100,000 Xiongnu iron cavalry can stir up the Han Kingdom, and 200,000 iron cavalry can beat Keshu County all the way to Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Han State, and loot and burn the palace of the Son of Heaven of the Han State (Ganquan Palace). Is the Han Kingdom, which is wearing millions of armor, too weak? Well, it was the generals of the Han State who were a little weaker in their ability to command the army, but the combat power of the Xiongnu could never be ignored.

Now the strength of the Xiongnu is conservatively estimated at around 400,000, almost restored to the combat power of the Xiongnu Emperor Maotun period, considering the changes of the times, the 400,000 cavalry of the military minister Shan Yu should have increased in combat effectiveness because of the problem of equipment. Such a huge beast is ready to move, and it has the posture of being invincible in the world, and anyone who is looked at will be frightened.

The real Han Yan turned pale with fright, and couldn't help muttering: "Four hundred thousand!?" It's horrible! Who can stop the 400,000 iron horsemen of the Huns......"

Liu Che's expression was also a little strange, if it weren't for the fact that the Xiongnu were too strong, and the Han would be so nervous? Nervous enough to ignore Huainan's rebellion bouncing inside, will he come to Xilin on a whim?

It has been mentioned countless times, Liu Che is currently in a puppet state in the Han State, he has the power but does not have much power, more than half of the state power is still in the hands of Mrs. Dou, he is the head of the radical faction, and he knows that he cannot shake the conservatives led by the Dou family at present, so he needs to find ways to increase his strength and reduce the enemy.

To put it mildly, Liu Che is not the only bloodline of the contemporary Liu family, even if he dies, the Dou family can catch one casually and become the emperor. In fact, Mrs. Dou also told Liu Che frankly: "You are not the emperor, there are other people to be the emperor!" A strong sense of crisis can always make people crazy, not to mention that Liu Che does not lack crazy genes?

In this way, Liu Che must take the risk to understand Lin Bin's true thoughts and make the fastest response as soon as possible, otherwise even a small misunderstanding will cause irreparable regrets.

However, in the current situation of having a common enemy, the two sides may consider temporarily putting aside their antagonism, seeking a common right to exist, and what to do if the threat is resolved. Of course...... No one will say it directly, and they still need to test each other's bottom line step by step to arrive at a temporary agreement that is acceptable to both parties.

Liu Che didn't speak all the time, he was still listening to Lin Bin's Q&A with Lu Yan and Meng Zhao until he understood it......

"Protector of Han! Commander Lü and Commander Meng. If this is the case, wouldn't the Xiongnu be invincible? ”

Lu Yan didn't want to deal with it at all.

Meng Zhao smiled reservedly.

Lin Bin glanced at Liu Che strangely: "The Outer Mongolian steppes are all the traditional spheres of influence of the Xiongnu; Shuofang is currently occupied by the Helan Mountain tribal group, and Boye has 150,000 troops in his hands; The total strength of Wei's Korea, Nanwo, and Beiwo in the northeast should be 300,000. ”

"Outer Mongolia ......? Where is this? ”

"It is north of Shuofang and west of Xilin, including Wumu Grassland, Junji Mountain, Yanran Mountain, and Guyan Mountain...... Of course, there is also the Xiongnu's Wolf Juxu Mountain, these territories within a fixed range. ”

Liu Che was habitually silent...... Tan Ran said: "How vast should it be?" ”

Lu Yan was lukewarm: "It's much more than the Han Kingdom." ”

Lin Bin didn't doubt that he was wrong, he saw Liu Che's eyes become extremely hot, if he could hear his heart, Liu Che was thinking, "Those territories should belong to the Great Han Kingdom!" Of course, Lin Bin couldn't hear people's hearts, and he continued to turn his head and talk to Meng Zhao in a low voice.

The strange picture lasted for more than an hour, and the generals of the Han Department exchanged opinions in a low voice; The guests of the Han Kingdom also talked in low voices, but the topics they talked about were relatively monotonous......

"What is the explanation for the actions of the Protector of Han?"

"Talking about the strength of the Huns, it should be preparing to resist the Hun iron cavalry."

"So the Protector of Han has received the letter of state and obeyed the will of the Holy Son of Heaven?"

"That's how it should be! How the subject country does not listen to the orders of the suzerain! ”

A crooked, endless, stupid and naïve group of people......

Liu Che couldn't figure out what Lin Bin was thinking, saying that it seemed impossible for Lin Bin to follow his will, but it was wrong, it was absolutely impossible! So they discussed the strength of the Xiongnu and guessed what the next move of the military minister Shan Yu would be?

Obviously, the high-level officials of the Han Department are a little neglected by the guests, and no one can learn that kind of self-styled attitude, if they are ready to release their previous suspicions and join forces to fight the enemy without saying a few words, even if Lin Bin himself believes in others, he does not believe it. It can only be explained: they are thinking and acting by inertia.

Originally, this meeting was not a formal reception, and although it was a snub to put the guests aside, there was a reason for it, isn't it? Who asked the envoy of the Han State to bring such an explosive news.

"Alright. Leaving these things aside, the trivial matters of how to contact the southern Di tribes, negotiate with the Helan Mountain tribes in Shuofang, and so on will be discussed after a military and political meeting is held. ”

Lin Bin spoke, and the generals who were talking happily were silent.

"Envoy of the Son of Heaven, it's time to tell me what you mean......
