Twenty miles west of Jixian County, Youzhou Daying.

Tian Yu was shaken from his sleep, and when he turned over and sat up, he saw the captain of the personal soldiers anxiously guarding in front of the couch, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

The captain of the pro-soldier said: "The general is not good, something is wrong." ”

Tian Yu said in a condensed voice: "Speak slowly, what's wrong?" ”

The captain of the pro-soldier said: "There was a return from the horse just now, and Jixian County was broken by the army of the horse butcher. ”

"It can't be! Our army's meticulous work and exploration horses have already spread all over the entire territory of Youzhou and the Mobei grassland, and even Hetao has a large number of our army's meticulous work lurking, if the horse butcher's army has any wind and grass, it is difficult to escape the eyes and ears of our army, can they still fly from the sky? ”

Tian Yu pondered for a moment, and suddenly lost his voice and said, "Scared!" ”

The captain of the pro-soldier said, "General, what's wrong?" ”

"Horse thief!" Tian Yu's face changed greatly, and he said sharply, "Damn, it must be those dozen or so horse thieves!" ”

The captain of the pro-soldier said in a condensed voice: "Horse thief? ”

"Quick!" Tian Yu gasped and shouted, "Immediately gather an army to rush to the aid of Jixian, go quickly!" ”

"Yes."

The captain of the pro-soldier hurriedly took the order and left.

In less than half an hour, Tian Yu ordered the 20,000 cavalry troops in the Youzhou camp to kill Benji County. At dawn, Tian Yu led 5,000 light horsemen to rush to the outside of Jixian County, presenting an extremely tragic scene in front of Tian Yu and Youzhou soldiers.

Inside and outside the city gate, the long street is full of the corpses of Youzhou soldiers, outside the gate of the military camp in the east of the city, Tian Yu found the body of his brother Tian Meng, Tian Meng's chest has been pierced by a shot, the flesh and blood turned out flashing with the miserable white, and there are still red bloodshots slowly flowing out.

The corpse of the Youzhou soldier stretched along the long street, leading to the Thorn Mansion.

Tian Yu's heart sank, and he said sharply: "Quick, go to the Assassin Mansion!" ”

Tian Yu hurried to the Assassin's Mansion with his army, and found that the door of the mansion was wide open, the front and rear courtyards were in a mess, and the corpses of Youzhou soldiers with mutilated limbs were everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the Chinese wanted to vomit. Tian Yu searched the entire Thorn History Mansion, but did not find the body of Gongsun Zhan, only the body of Gongsun Zhan's concubine Xinna's concubine was found in the back wing.

"General, here!" When Tian Yuzheng was at a loss, a soldier suddenly shouted, "We have found the major general!" ”

"Major General?"

Tian Yu's expression moved, he approached in a hurry, and the Youzhou soldiers who were in a circle hurriedly dispersed, Tian Yu finally saw Gongsun Xu, but it was a pity that Gongsun Xu's shoulders and back were trampled inward, and the entire skeleton was shattered inch by inch, and it had already become a cold corpse at this time.

"Where's the lord?" Tian Yu shouted, "Find it for General Ben, and dig three feet into the ground to find it!" ”

"General!" Another soldier shouted, "There's a living one here!" ”

Tian Yu's heart jumped, and he said sharply: "Bring it here!" ”

"Let's go!"

"Hurry up!"

In the shouting and reprimand of the Youzhou soldiers, a soldier of the Assassin Mansion who had survived for nine years was brought to Tian Yu, Tian Yu looked at it at a glance, and saw that the soldiers looked sad and their eyes flickered, obviously frightened! Tian Yu took a breath and asked in a deep voice, "What's your name?" ”

"Small~~ villain Gongsun He."

"Gongsun He, do you know where the lord is?"

"Know~~ Know."

"Where?"

"Caught by ~~Caught by the horse~~ horse butcher~~."

"Huh?" Tian Yu's face changed, and he said sharply, "Say it again!" ”

Gongsun He was so frightened that he hugged his head and shrank on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't~~ Don't kill me, the princess was really captured by the horse butcher." ”

Tian Yu was devoured by thunder, and he was stupid.

After a long time, several Youzhou generals came up and asked Tian Yudao urgently: "General, the lord was captured, and the major general died in battle, what should we do now?" ”

"Yes, General, what now?"

"The Hebei army is in a hurry to attack Fanyang, and now that there is no lord sitting in Youzhou, our army will definitely be defeated."

"Damn, why don't you go to Bingzhou and join Master Zhang Ji?"

"Fart, go to Zhang Jin, it's better to surrender Yuan Shao directly."

"If you want me to see, the surname Suo Yongli is the history of this Youzhou assassin, what do you think?"

"But Gongsun Fan, Shan Jing, Zou Dan, and Tian Kai, can they agree?"

"I'm afraid that Yuan Shao won't agree."

The generals under his command were discussing, Tian Yu Huoran woke up in shock, and said sharply: "Okay, don't fight!" ”

The generals were silent.

Tian Yu looked around at everyone and sighed: "Generals, the lord has a blood feud with the horse butcher, and he will not be lucky to be captured this time, the young general has also died in battle, and the lord's inheritance is no longer inherited!" Yuan Shao attacked in the south very urgently, how to hold Youzhou with Gongsun Fan, Tian Kai, Shan Jing, Zou Dan and others? Don't do anything, let's go our separate ways. ”

The generals gathered but did not disperse, and asked anxiously, "General, what about you?" ”

Tian Yu's eyes showed murderous intentions, and he said in a deep voice: "Gongsun Zhan's lord is not thin on the end, how can the lord and the end of the lord be ignored if he is in trouble?" I went to vote for General Yuan Shao, and looked for an opportunity to announce this blood feud for Gongsun Zhan. ”

The generals said angrily: "General, the last general will wait." ”

"Okay, thank you generals for not giving up." Tian Yu was in a state of flux and said loudly, "Without further ado, let's set off!" ”

……

Fan Yang.

Yuan Shao was pretending to sleep in the tent, and was suddenly awakened by the chaotic footsteps outside the tent, and when he got up in a hurry, he saw Feng Ji, Xian Pei, Jiang Qi, Han Meng, Chun Yuqiong and others rushing in.

Feng Ji tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, great joy! ”

Yuan Shao wondered: "Where does the joy come from?" ”

Feng Ji shook to the ground and said quickly: "Three days ago, the horse butcher really attacked Ji County with three thousand iron horses, Gongsun Zhan was captured by Ma Chaosheng, and his son Gongsun Xu was also trampled to death by Ma Chao!" At present, the dragons in the counties of Youzhou have been in a mess, and they have just returned from exploring the horses, and Tian Yu, the general of the army under the command of Gongsun Zhan, has led 20,000 troops, and has gone south from Jixian County, ready to come to the lord. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, "There is such a thing? ”

Feng Ji nodded heavily.

Yuan Shao turned his gaze to judge, Jiang Qi, Han Meng and others, and the generals also nodded heavily, Yuan Shao couldn't help but laugh three times in the sky, and couldn't help but say happily: "So, Youzhou is fixed!" ”

"Report~~" Yuan Shao's voice fell, and suddenly a small school walked into the tent and said loudly, "Lord, Fan Yang Shou will ask for a meeting with Gongsun Fan, Tian Kai, and Shan Jing." ”

"Huh?" Yuan Shao Huoran looked back, "Gongsun Fan asked to see him?" ”

"Congratulations, my lord." "This must be for the surrender of the city." ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Hurry up, please!" ”

……

Danhan Mountain.

The original Xianbei Royal Court has now become Pei Yuanshao's old camp of 10,000 households on the right.

With the continuous plundering of the Xianbei people and the surrounding small tribes, the population of Pei Yuanshao Wanhu has increased dramatically, and now, the old camp of Danhan Mountain has gathered no less than 300,000 herdsmen, including more than 15,000 people who control the strings, more than 30,000 children, and the remaining 200,000 are female slaves plundered from the Xianbei, Dingling, and Fuyu tribes in the past six or seven years.

[Some readers are worried that the pyramid system implemented by the horse butcher in Mobei will intensify ethnic contradictions and leave hidden dangers, but in fact, it is completely unfounded. Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang Dan would kill all the adult men of the tribe (taller than the wheels of a carriage) if they conquered a tribe, leaving only women and children as slaves. Most of these slave children died before they reached adulthood, and the women, after giving birth to the children of the old horse butchers, became property like cattle, sheep and livestock. ]

A wooden stake has been erected in the open space in front of the camp, and the depressed Gongsun Chan was tied to the stake, opposite the stake, dozens of sheepskin blankets were spread out on the ground, and the horse butcher sat on the ground surrounded by Pei Yuanshao and dozens of thousands of households.

"Meng Qi!" Ma Yue said in a condensed voice, "Please Ling!" ”

"Yes, brother!"

Ma Chao responded violently, walked quickly to a sweaty BMW, solemnly invited Ma Teng's spiritual position from the backpack behind the saddle, and then placed it on the table that had been prepared long ago, Ma Yue's expression suddenly became solemn, and led Pei Yuanshao and dozens of thousands of households to come forward to pay respects, each offering three pillars of incense in the incense burner.

"Meng Qi!"

"Little brother is here."

The corner of the horse butcher's mouth suddenly bloomed with a trace of cruel murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Sacrifice ~~ spirit!" ”

"Yes!"

Ma Chao agreed loudly, pulled out a boning knife from the boot state, grabbed Gongsun Zhan's right ear in two steps, and cut it off with a brush, Gongsun Chan suddenly howled miserably, and the red blood dripped down, wetting the white robe on his body.

"Scream, scream!"

Ma Chao's expression was extremely sad, his black eyes were as hideous as a wolf, and he shook his hand and cut off Gongsun Zhan's right ear, before throwing the two ears of the blood lake into the incense burner in front of Ma Teng's spiritual seat, then the nose, ten fingers, and finally even Gongsun Zhan's toes were not famous, and they were also driven down by Ma Chao.

Gongsun Chan died in pain, and the wailing of the people shocked the onlookers.

"Gongsun Chan!" The horse butcher stared coldly at Gongsun Chan and said word by word, "This is the end of betraying General Ben!" ”

"Horse~~Horse butcher~~" Gongsun Chan gasped violently twice, a piece of blood foamed from the corner of his mouth, and laughed miserably, "You~~ You can't die well~~"

"Meng Qi!" Ma Yue said coldly, "Cut off his tongue!" ”

"Yes!"

Ma Chao responded violently, reached out and gently pinched Gongsun Zhan's face, Gongsun Chan opened his mouth involuntarily, Ma Chao put the boning knife into Gongsun Chan's mouth and stirred, a few pieces of minced meat flew out of Gongsun Chan's mouth, Ma Chao let go, Gongsun Chan's lips moved hard but it was difficult to make a sound, only blood gushed out of his mouth.

"Disemboweled!"

"Yes!"

Ma Chao pressed a sharp knife against Gongsun Zhan's abdomen and gently picked it up, then peeled off his abdominal cavity alive, Gongsun Zhan's facial muscles twitched violently, and his body tried to struggle, but he was tied up and couldn't move, so he could only sway his head frantically from side to side, and the blood foam in his mouth splashed everywhere.

A cruel smile appeared on Ma Chao's face, dragging Gongsun Zhan's intestines out of his abdominal cavity one by one, and then wrapped around Gongsun Zhan's neck one by one.

At this moment, Gongsun Chan only wanted to die quickly.

Ma Yue smiled coldly and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, the time has come!" ”

"Tuk!"

The boning knife in Ma Chao's hand slashed lightly, and a blood line appeared on Gongsun Zhan's neck, Gongsun Zhan's eyes suddenly became sluggish, and suddenly, Gongsun Zhan's head began to slide forward, and before it landed, Ma Chao reached out and grabbed it, and threw it heavily in front of Ma Teng's spiritual position.

"Father, father~~" Ma Chao Huo Ran looked up to the sky and howled bitterly, "The child has avenged you~~!" ”

……

None.

Gongsun Zhan's Thorn History Mansion has been renovated and has now become Yuan Shao's temporary official residence.

In the side hall of the official residence, Yuan Shao was receiving Tian Yu, the general of Youzhou, Tian Yu hugged his fists and said: "General, the last general can't pay a big salute with armor on his body, please forgive me." ”

"Whoa." Yuan Shao stepped forward to help Tian Yu up, and said in a harmonious voice, "General Tian doesn't have to be polite. ”

"General Xie."

Tian Yu clenched his fists again, turned around and retreated to the side.

Yuan Shao smiled and said to the young man standing on the side: "Xiansi, I haven't stepped forward to see General Tian Yu yet." ”

This young man is none other than Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, who has just become an adult, Yuan Tan strode forward and hugged his fists and said: "Under Yuan Tan, see the general." ”

"Don't dare to be." Tian Yu hurriedly said, "The last general would never dare to be such a big gift as a major general." ”

Yuan Shao stepped forward and affectionately grabbed Tian Yu's right arm, and said in a harmonious voice: "Guorang (Tian Yu's words), this general has played the Son of Heaven, and you are the general of Pingbei, leading 20,000 troops to defend Youzhou!" Although Xiansi is a history of Youzhou Thorn, he is young after all, and his actions are inevitably reckless, and he hopes that the country will complement him. ”

Yuan Shao's words are very straightforward, although Yuan Tan is the assassin of Youzhou, he is actually only in name, and it is you Tian Yu who really controls the military and political power of Youzhou! As a general, he can be so trusted and reused, Tian Yu can't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, thinking that the general is a general after all, and his mind and bearing are very comparable.

Tian Yu knelt down and said gratefully: "Although the last general is willing, it is difficult to report to the general!" ”

"The country has made a big deal." Yuan Shao hurriedly stepped forward to help Tian Yu up, patted him on the shoulder again, and said in a condensed voice, "Youzhou and Xiansi~~ This general will be handed over to you." ”

Tian Yu said excitedly: "Please rest assured, the general will not be dishonored." ”

"Okay." Yuan Shao nodded happily and said, "That's very good." ”

Tian Yu said again: "General, Yu has something to do." ”

Yuan Shao said: "What's the matter? ”

Tian Yu said: "Liaodong Taishou Zou Dan sent a secret letter, saying that he intended to surrender the county, and asked the last general to introduce him. ”

"Liaodong is too shou Zou Dan?" Yuan Shao frowned and said, "If Zou Dan wants to surrender, let him lead the crowd to Jixian County, and the general can still entrust him to appoint, as for Liaodong." Before the destruction of Gongsun Zhan, the general had an appointment with the horse butcher, Liaodong, Liaoxi, Liaodong vassal states and the four counties of Xuansu Angelica Horse Butcher, this general has already responded in front of everyone, how can he go back on his word and break his word and fatten himself? ”

"Yes." Tian Yu said respectfully, "The last general will send someone to reply to Zou Dan." ”

Yuan Shao nodded and said: "In the future, the general and Xian Si will discuss and handle the affairs of Youzhou, and there is no need to ask the general for advice." ”

Tian Yu said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

……

Danhan Mountain, the old camp of 10,000 households on the right.

Hou San and Ju Tu entered the big tent panting, knelt on the ground, and gasped: "Hou San (Ju Tu) see the lord." ”

Ma Yue said with his hand: "Let's get up." ”

"Thank you, Lord."

Hou San, Ju suddenly thanked him and got up.

Ma Yue asked, "What is the situation in Youzhou?" ”

Hou Sandao: "Back to the lord, the eastern Xianbei Xianyu Chaobu and the Loulan department have returned to Saiwai, Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Fan, the generals Tian Yu, Tian Kai, and Shan Jing have all surrendered to Yuan Shao, as well as Shanggu, Daijun, Zhuojun, Guangyang, Yuyang, and Youbeiping, the six counties have surrendered, and Zou Dan, the Taishou of Liaodong, has also abandoned Liaodong and led his troops to surrender to Yuan Shao. ”

"Yuan Shaoke once sent troops into the four counties of western Liaoning and eastern Liaodong?"

"Never."

"Oh?" Ma Yue said with a smile, "I can't see that General Yuan is really a trustworthy person." ”

"But the people of the three counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong, Xuansu and the subject countries of Liaodong fled, scattered, and almost became a barren land, the Hebei army did not fight well, and the occupation was very fast, and it took the six counties of Youzhou in the blink of an eye, which was too cheap Yuan Shao."

Ma Yue said: "Why is Yuan Shao cheap?" ”

Ju Tu said: "If there is no lord who attacked Jixian and captured Gongsun Zan alive, the Hebei army can win so quickly, and Yuan Shao can take Youzhou so quickly?" As long as the lord of Liaoxi, Liaodong, Liaodong and the four counties of Xuansu suffer too much, no matter how you say it, you should add the two counties of Gu and Daijun. ”

"Don't suffer a loss." Ma Yue said angrily, "General Ben didn't plan to ask for the territory of Youzhou, and this time Yuan Shao was able to give up the four counties of Liaoxi, which is already an unexpected joy." ”

"Huh?" Ju suddenly lost his voice and said, "The lord didn't plan to ask for land in the first place? ”

Ma Yue said helplessly: "Youzhou is not a Mobei grassland, how can you let our cavalry come and go freely?" Yuan Shao is not Gongsun Zhan, he is a great general today, not only has more than 100,000 or 200,000 Hebei soldiers under his command, but also has a cloud of civil officials and fierce generals like rain, and he will be replaced two years ago, of course this general is not afraid of him, but now our army has just experienced a vicious battle, and it has been greatly injured, and it can no longer compete with it in a short period of time, and there is the most important point......"

Ju Tu said in a condensed voice: "The most important point? ”

Ma Yue said in a deep voice: "The most important point is what the people want!" The heart of the Youzhou clan is obviously towards Yuan Shao, otherwise there would not be a situation where all the county guards surrendered to Yuan Shao, how can you say that there should be a few Taishou who surrendered to this general, what do you think? ”

Ju suddenly said hatefully: "These dog officials, none of them are good. ”

……

In the autumn of the sixth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty (193), Yuan Shao raised 150,000 troops to attack Youzhou.

In August, Ma Yue went down to Jixian County, and Gongsun Zhan was defeated.

In October, Yuan Shao appointed his eldest son Yuan Tan as the assassin of Youzhou, and Youzhou general Tian Yu as the general of Pingbei, led 20,000 troops to defend Youzhou, and then led the army back to Yecheng.

……

Yecheng, the prison.

When Tian Feng was in the flail and pretending to sleep, he suddenly heard that the gongs and drums on the street outside the prison were noisy and lively, Tian Feng wondered in his heart, so he called the head of the cell and asked, "What's the noise outside?" ”

The cell boss Pingsu respected Tian Fengcai very much, and replied worriedly: "The military adviser doesn't know, it is the general who has returned from Youzhou, I heard that the general won a complete victory in this battle, and occupied the six counties of Youzhou at a very small price, and the people of Yecheng are beating gongs and drums to welcome the streets, alas......"

Tian Fengqi said: "The general has returned triumphantly, you should be in the same mood, how can you sigh instead?" ”

The cell boss replied: "Before the general set out on the expedition, the military adviser had repeatedly opposed it, and now that the general has returned triumphantly, doesn't it prove that what you said is wrong?" According to the villain, the first thing the general did when he returned to Yecheng this time was to cure the sin of the military division, and the military division's life was not long in coming, so be careful that a few kinds of wine and food have been prepared here, and the military division will go on the road with peace of mind after eating. ”

"Hahaha~~" Tian Feng laughed, "You're wrong." ”

The cell boss was unconvinced: "How is the villain wrong? ”

Tian Feng smiled and said: "In this battle of Youzhou, if the lord does not win, the surname of the army division will not be guaranteed, and if the lord wins, the surname of the army and division will be worry-free." ”

The cell boss said, "And such a thing? ”

Tian Feng said: "It's just that the lord took Youzhou so quickly, it's really incomprehensible." ”

"Nothing to be puzzled about." Tian Feng's voice fell, and Yuan Shao's voice sounded outside the prison, "The military advisor asked General Ben to beware of the horse butcher everywhere, but in fact, this time the general was able to pacify Youzhou so quickly, precisely because of the assistance of the horse butcher, haha, the military advisor was like a god, but this time it was really a miscalculation." ”

……

Western regions.

Before the dust of Fazheng was washed, he took the deputy general Hu Chi'er, the governor of the Western Regions, Ban Shan, and several pro-soldiers to Chigu City, the capital of Wusun State. Wusun is a large country in the 36 countries of the Western Regions, with more than 600,000 mouths, and the country is second only to the Dayue clan.

The Great Moon Clan's national strength was greatly damaged, and Wusun became the most powerful country among the countries in the Western Regions.

Wusun has a deep relationship with the Han Empire.

As early as the pre-Qin period, Wusun and the Yueshi nomadic in Dunhuang, Qilian area, after the rise of the Xiongnu, the big break of the Yue, the Yueshi people moved westward in a hurry to occupy the territory of the Wusun people, the Wusun people had to go away to the Western Regions, after which the Wusun people defeated the Yueshi people with the help of the Huns, recaptured their homeland, but soon, the Wusun people and the Xiongnu became hostile, and avoided the Western Regions again.

After the rise of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and at the same time sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions to unite the countries of the Western Regions to fight the Xiongnu, Wusun also participated in it, the Huns were attacked on all sides, most of the population and livestock were lost, and the country's strength plummeted. In the following decades, Princess Xie Wu and Princess Xijun married Wusun, and the Han Empire and Wusun always maintained close contact.

But at the same time, Wusun also maintained a close relationship with the Xiongnu.

After the end of the two Han Dynasty, Wusun has always wavered between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty, until the Xiongnu split, the Southern Xiongnu went south to attach the Han, and the Northern Xiongnu went to the west, Wusun completely fell to the Han, but at this time, the Han Dynasty has also reached the twilight of the year, and the country is no longer at its peak.

Dong Zhuo and Ma Yue twice requisitioned the cavalry of the Western Regions to the east to participate in the warlord melee, which made the countries of the Western Regions see the weakness of the "Central Empire".

But even so, the call to get rid of the rule of the Han Dynasty and stand on its own feet is still in the dust of the Western Regions, and the Cheshi Kingdom and the Dayue clan, who have a deep blood feud with the Ma family, have even begun to openly rebel against the decree of the Western Regions Changshi Mansion, and the Wusun country is also divided into two factions, pro-Han and anti-Han, quarreling endlessly.

Fa Zheng's choice of the first stop of the envoy in Wusun was deliberate.

First of all, Wusun has a close relationship with the Han Dynasty, and there is even a special post of translator in the country, who is responsible for translating Han literature, and most of the royal families in the country are descendants of Xie Wei and Princess Xijun, and they can speak fluent Chinese, so there is no difficulty in communication, and there will be no misunderstanding due to misinterpretation of words.

Secondly, Wusun is a big country among the 36 countries in the Western Regions, and many small countries such as Shule, Shache, Weitou, Wensu, and Gumo are all the only ones who are interested in Wusun, as long as they win the support of Wusun, it is equivalent to winning the support of half of the countries in the Western Regions! Even if the Cheshi and Otsuki clan make trouble, they can't turn the sky upside down.

Of course, there is more important than these two points! Thinking of this, a trace of yin and yin coldness suddenly flashed in Fa Zheng's eyes, and the originally elegant handsome face also became a little hideous, whether he could pacify the Western Regions in a short period of time and relieve his worries for Guan, Liang, and Hetao, it depends on this trip to Wusun!

……

In the middle of the night, the torches in the tent of King Wusun were bright.

Wusun King Wu Sumeru is convening Xiang Dalu, Left General, Right General, Qianxi Marquis, Middle Xi Marquis, Hou Xi Marquis, Left Commander and Right Commander and other large and small officials to deliberate, Fa Zheng, Hu Chi'er, and Ban Shan as the Han noble envoys, high and left Wu Sumeru.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Wu Sumeru pointed to Fa Zheng and said to everyone, "This one is the noble envoy sent by Ma Yue, the general of Liangzhou and Pingxi of the Han Dynasty (Fa Zheng calls himself an envoy, not the new governor of the Western Regions, obviously with ulterior motives). ”

Hearing this, Fa Zheng got up, learned the etiquette of the Wusun people, spread his hands out, and leaned over slightly.

After Fa Zheng returned to the table, Wu Sumeru asked, "I don't know what your envoy is doing here in the Western Regions?" ”

Wu Sumeru's voice fell, and the big and small Wusun officials in the tent suddenly pricked up their ears.

This question is really too sensitive, now many countries in the Western Regions are making trouble to stand on their own, wanting to get rid of the control of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Western Regions Changshi Mansion is subordinate to the rule of Liangzhou Thorn Shi, the Han Liangzhou Mu Ma Yue is known as a butcher, and his brother Ma Chao is as fierce as a wolf, will the tiger brothers and wolf brothers let it go?

Fa Zheng smiled slightly, and said: "At present, the Han Dynasty has frequent internal strife and disputes, and General Ma needs to concentrate his forces to deal with the attack of the Kwantung warlords, and he has no time to look west. ”

Fa Zheng's voice fell, and all the Wusun ministers in the tent were in an uproar.

"Oh?" Wu Sumeru's expression also moved, and he said in a condensed voice, "Your envoy is here for this?" ”

"Exactly." Fa Zheng smiled and said, "If it's convenient, please also ask the king to summon the kings of all countries to come to Akatani City as soon as possible, there is still a mission in the future, it is really not appropriate to stay for a long time." ”

"Understood." Wu Sumi said happily, "Xiao Wang will send envoys to various countries, and summon the kings of all countries to come to Chigu Castle as soon as possible to discuss the withdrawal of the Han army with the envoys." ”

……

Xuchang, Xiangfu.

Cao Ying read the book in his hand, his face was already full of haze, and he looked up at the carved beams and paintings above his head and was speechless for a long time.

"Mengde!" Xiahoudun asked eagerly, "What did the letter sent back by Hosaku say?" ”

"Alas~~" Cao Ying sighed and said coldly, "Yuan Shao has pacified Youzhou!" ”

"Huh?" Xun You lost his voice and said, "This is impossible!" Yuan Shao pacified Youzhou so quickly? It's incredible! ”

Cao Ying's gaze turned to Guo Jia, and said in a low voice: "The horse butcher turned to Jixian as Feng Xiao expected, and the surprise soldiers attacked Jixian County, Gongsun Zhan was caught off guard and captured alive by the horse butcher, and the Youzhou army immediately collapsed, and Yuan Benchu captured the six counties of Youzhou without much effort, and got 60,000 Youzhou troops. ”

"Mengde, this is a big deal!" Xiahou said hurriedly, "Yuan Shao originally had 20,000 Hebei elite soldiers, and later after Han Fu ceded Jizhou, he incorporated 60,000 Jizhou elites such as Zhang He, Jiang Qi, Han Meng, and Jiang Yiqu. In the battle of the 23rd Kwantung Coalition Army, the lord and other candidates suffered heavy losses, but Yuan Shao did not suffer any losses, and he also incorporated Zhang Yan's millions of Black Mountain thieves, and selected 100,000 strong men to form the Black Mountain Army! Now there are 60,000 Youzhou troops, and Yuan Shao's army has reached 240,000, which is almost ten times that of our army! ”

"Ugh." Xun You said with annoyance, "This horse butcher is really unpredictable." ”

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was a little dull, Guo Jia smiled and said: "The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, Yuan Ben entered the court at a young age and looked to return to the sea, and it is natural that there is a weather today, if Jia's expectations are not bad, Yuan Benchu should send troops to annex Qingzhou in the name of crusading against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and then go west to destroy Zhang Ji, and then ......."

Xiahoudun said: "What then? Strategist, if you have something to say, just say it directly, don't keep saying half a sentence and leaving half a sentence, you are in a hurry to die. ”

"Then, Yuan Shao should go south and compete with the lord in the Central Plains." Guo Jia's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said in a condensed voice, "If Yuan Shao wants to completely pacify Hebei, it will take at least three years!" In other words, there are only three years left for the lord, and if the lord can't pacify the Central Plains within three years, the battle with Yuan Shao may be more auspicious. ”

Xun Yu said: "Feng Xiao is saying that the horse butcher will sit and wait for Yuan Shao to pacify Hebei?" ”

"Yes!" Guo Jia said categorically, "First, the horse butcher has been seriously injured in the battle of the coalition army, and he will not be able to recover his vitality at least within ten years, even if the horse butcher has the heart to prevent Yuan Shao from pacifying Hebei, he is more than enough and not enough; Both, even if the horse butcher has the ability to stop Yuan Shao, he is afraid that he will not stop it. ”

Xun You was puzzled: "Why is this? ”

Guo Jia Huoran turned his head, turned his gaze to Cao Ying, and said word by word: "This is because the number one enemy in the horse butcher's heart is not Yuan Shao, but the lord!" ”

……

Western Regions, Akaya Castle.

In less than half a month, the 36 countries sent envoys to Akaya Castle, and King Cheshi and King Otsuki even sent ministers and generals to come, which shows the importance attached to this gathering.

Han Embassy Post House.

Fa Zheng gently brushed down the curtain of the tent, turned back to Hu Chi'er and said, "General Hu Chi'er, are you all ready?" ”

Hu Chi'er said in a low voice: "Please rest assured, the last general is ready!" A full sixty-eight warriors, disguised as several caravans, have already mixed into Chigu City, these warriors are all veterans of a hundred battles who crawled out of the pile of dead, and cleaning up the one or two hundred Western Regions earth dogs is a meal! ”

"Good!"

"As long as the lord gives an order, hum, the minister of the Cheshi country, the general of the Dayue clan and the more than 100 guards accompanying him, none of them will be able to go back alive."

"Hmm." Fa Zheng nodded, and said in a condensed voice, "Tell me to go down, let the warriors pay attention to the hidden traces, don't cause trouble, and wait until it gets dark before making a move." ”

"Yes."

Hu Chi'er clenched his fists and took the order.

Fa Zheng was dressed properly, and Shi Shiran went to the Wusun Royal Court out of the post house.

……

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

Wusun King Wu Sumeru and Yu Fa were having a banquet in the royal court, and when they were talking, they suddenly saw General Zuo rushing in with a panicked expression, kneeling on the ground and hurriedly saying: "King, no...... Oh no! ”

Wu Sumeru frowned and said, "What's wrong, panicking?" ”

General Zuo gasped and said: "The post hall area~~ The post hall area was suddenly attacked by unknown people and horses, and the minister of the Che Division, the general Zuo of the Dayue clan and the more than 100 guards who came with him were all killed!" ”

"What did you say!?" Wu Sumeru was startled, Huo Ran got up and said, "What about the royal court guards sent to guard the post house area, didn't this king tell you again and again that you must protect the kings and ministers of various countries?" Why did this happen at the end of the day, huh? ”

General Zuo said miserably: "It's all because the last general was careless for a while, and fell into the thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and when the last general realized that the situation was not good and returned to the post house area, it was already too late, and the minister of the Cheshi country, the left general of the Dayue clan and the accompanying guards were all dead!" King, in less than half an hour, the hundred and ten people are all dead! ”

"Do you know who did it?" Usumeru said angrily, "Have you caught the murderer?" ”

General Zuo shook his head bitterly: "No, when the last general led people back, the murderer had already run out." ”

"Then why don't you send troops to find it!?" Usumeru roared angrily, "What are you doing here? ”

"King, don't look for it, it was done by the envoy's entourage."

Wu Sumeru's voice fell, and a gloomy voice suddenly sounded behind him, Wu Sumeru Huo Ran looked back, only to see Fa Zheng standing behind him, the look on his face was extremely gloomy, and the left general on the side shouted, and suddenly pulled out the scimitar and put it on Fa Zheng's neck.

Fa Zheng glanced at the scimitar on his neck lightly, and said to the left general: "The sword has no eyes, the general has to hold it tightly." ”

General Zuo was stunned when he heard this, so he had to put away his knife and retreat.

Usumeru took a deep breath, tried his best to calm the anger in his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Honorable envoy, Xiao Wang thinks that he has never been slow to treat you, nor has he offended the Heavenly Empire, but why did you make such a decision to assassinate the king of the Cheshi Kingdom and the left general of the Otsuki clan in Akiti City?" Isn't this a desperate situation for my Wusun to be in a desperate situation? Wouldn't you want to force me Wusun to be the enemy of the Cheshi, the Great Moon Clan, and even the entire Western Regions? Don't you want me to destroy the country and the species? ”

"No!" Fa Zheng said indifferently, "This is not to do this to destroy the country and extinct the species, but to prosper and inherit the prosperity of the Wusun country from generation to generation!" ”

"Huh?" Wu Sumeru said awe-inspiringly, "Xiao Wang doesn't understand the words of the envoy. ”

"That's good." Fa Zheng nodded and said to Wu Sumeru, "Dare to ask the king, have the Dayue clan and the Cheshi Kingdom been making trouble recently, wanting to get rid of the Han Empire and stand on their own?" ”

Usumeru was silent.

Fa Zhengdao: "General Pingxi is very angry about this, and he wants to send Major General Ma Chao to lead the army to crusade against the Western Regions several times, if it weren't for the repeated obstruction of the military division, I am afraid that the two countries would have been lying in wait for thousands of miles and bleeding!" If Wusun cannot draw a clear line with the two countries at this time, I am afraid that it will destroy the country! ”

Usumeru changed color and said, "Honorable envoy, are you threatening the Wusun Kingdom?" It must be known that our country has a population of no less than 600,000, and there are at least 100,000 capable warriors! General Pingxi wants to set foot on Wusun, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right? ”

"A hundred thousand? Sounds like a lot! Fa Zheng said coldly, "But has the king forgotten that a few years ago, the young general Ma Chao conquered the Dayue clan with 3,000 iron cavalry, and the Dayue clan attacked with an army of 150,000, but in the end it was defeated, and in the end even the royal court was lost, and the princess of the Yue clan became the female slave of General Pingxi!" ”

Wu Sumeru and General Zuo were awe-inspiring when they heard this, Ma Chao~~ is the eternal devil in the hearts of the people of the Western Regions.

"The guards of the Che Shiguo and the Otsuki clan are elite enough, right? More than 100 elites from the two countries who came to Akita Castle this time, but the more than 30 personal entourages of this envoy slaughtered them all in less than half an hour! Fa Zheng said this, took a step closer to Wuxumeru, and asked in a loud voice, "Dare to ask the king, if General Pingxi leads 100,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to attack, how should Wusun Kingdom resist?" ”

Usumeru was silent.

Although the Western Regions are connected to the Central Plains, the news is closed after all, and the kings of various countries only know that the 30,000 cavalry sent to the Central Plains have been wiped out, but they do not know that the horse butcher has been greatly injured in the melee with the Kwantung princes.

"King!" Fa Zheng pressed one step further and said sharply, "If you go against the Great Han Heavenly Dynasty, you will never end well!" For the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Wusun Kingdom, the king should draw a clear line with the two anti-Han treason of the Dayue clan and Cheshi, and then ascend to the heights and lead Shule, Shache, Weitou, Wensu, Gumo and other small countries to fight against the treason! ”

Usumi hesitated and said, "But ......"

"King!" Fa Zheng pressed Wu Sumeru one step further, and shouted loudly, "The minister of the Cheshi Country, and the left general of the Otsuki clan have died in Chigu City!" The King of the Cheshi and the King of the Moon Clan will not listen to your explanation, they will only think that the person was ordered to be killed by the King. The enmity between the Wusun Kingdom and the two countries has been settled, if the king is unwilling to make peace with the Han Dynasty, then prepare to face the two countries alone! ”

"The King." As soon as Fa Zheng's voice fell, General Zuo took a step closer and whispered to Wu Sumeru, "If the Yue Clan Kingdom and the Cheshi Country are caught between the east and west, my country is afraid that it will be difficult to resist." ”

"The King." Fa Zheng said again, "As long as you say a word, the eight hundred elite soldiers and three thousand iron cavalry of the Great Han Western Regions Changshi Mansion will be at your disposal!" After conquering the Yueshi and Cheshi, the envoy will also explain everything to General Pingxi, and implore General Pingxi to show the Son of Heaven and the king as the Khan of the Western Regions, and from now on, the countries of the Western Regions should respect Wusun. ”

"Oh?"

Wu Sumeru's expression couldn't help but move slightly when he heard this, but Fa Zheng's words really moved Wu Sumeru.

……

Meiji, Pingxi General's Mansion.

Ma Yue beckoned to Ma Zheng and said in a harmonious voice, "Zheng'er, come here." ”

Ma Zheng walked up to Ma Yue with square steps, bowed respectfully, and sang, "What does your father command?" ”

"Give." Ma Yue handed a delicate small bow to Ma Zheng, and said in a harmonious voice, "Don't just read some articles all day long, if you have time, you can also practice bow horses, as the lord, it is not enough to be full of scriptures, you also need a strong physique, otherwise, how to command the three armies, how to win the battle?" ”

Ma Zheng did not accept the small bow, but just tilted his little head and said: "Mr. Ke said that the two countries will inevitably fall behind in the fight against force, and the only way to convince others is to be virtuous." ”

Ma Yue suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "What Mr. said may not be right, take it." ”

Ma Zheng said very seriously: "But the child thinks that what Mr. said is right, if the two countries compete and resort to force, they will inevitably disregard human lives, and I am afraid that there will be peace in the sky." ”

"Smack!"

Ma Yue couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and slapped Ma Zheng in the face.

"Is it inevitable to resort to force and ignore human life? Is there a dry day and? Ma Yue laughed angrily, "Fuck Tianhe, Guan Ning Pifu, Lao Tzu will kill you one day!" ”

Ma Zheng shuddered in fright, and let the tears roll in his eyes, but they didn't fall.

"Zheng'er." With a sad cry, Liu Yan's figure had already jumped in, hugged Ma Zheng in his arms, and then looked up at Ma Yue with complaining eyes, "Zheng'er is young and ignorant, so my husband will spare him this time." ”

After that, Liu Yan pushed Ma Zheng in her arms again, and said softly: "Zheng'er, go and admit your mistake to your father, and then put away the little bow that your father gave you." ”

"I don't!"

Ma Zheng stubbornly pursed his mouth, pushed Liu Yan away and rushed out of the hall.

"This kid."

Liu Yan looked back at Ma Yue at a loss, lest Ma Yue be angry.

I didn't think about it, but the horse butcher chuckled, touched his chin and whispered, "This fucking is a bit like the son of the horse butcher, hehe." ”
