Hu Chuquan's face was grim, his whole body was draped, he rode out slowly under the attention of everyone, came to Qiang's side, on the horse's back, covered his forehead with his hand, and bowed down to Qiang.

This etiquette, Xu Shu understands, it is the meaning of Hu Chuquan swearing allegiance in public.

On both sides of the field, there was silence immediately, especially the few people on the opposite side, their faces were quite ugly, and after a while, when several people on the opposite side were shouting and scolding angrily, the elite cavalry team behind them had begun to stir, which made the faces of several people who were shouting and scolding change greatly.

I think it was Hu Chuquan's public statement that dealt a fatal blow to the riot camp, so that the ordinary soldiers below lost their determination to fight bravely.

But think about it, the Huns have been weak for many years now, and the elite cavalry of the confrontation between the two sides this time is only relative to the horse-control skills, that is, Xu Shu turned his head left and right to look at it, and saw that there were many old men and young people filled with it, the real young knights, Xu Shu just watched coldly, and it has been roughly estimated that it is less than sixty percent.

This is still the place where the leaders of the Xiongnu tribes gather in Meiji, and the situation in the pastures outside Meiji will only get worse.

"No wonder the imperial court dispatched the Xiongnu elite cavalry to quell the rebellion, which caused an internal rebellion among the Xiongnu, so that Shan Yuqiangqu was killed, and the various ministries were really worried that the imperial court would continue to transfer young and strong, which would affect the reproduction and survival of the ethnic group."

From this and that, Xu Shu thought of the rebellion within the Xiongnu a few years ago, and gave this conclusion in his heart.

Just when Xu Shu was thinking about these irrelevant things, the commotion on the opposite side was uncontrollable, even if the leaders on the opposite side, that is, the leaders of the Xiongnu tribes, tried their best to restrain them there, it still didn't help.

It's time to come. Xu Shu didn't need to look at it to know that the riot in Meiji City had ended without a problem, and his biggest mission to Meiji had been successfully completed.

And the leaders on the opposite side, seeing that the situation was not good, were about to flee, Qiang Yan had been waiting for this moment, and with an angry shout, he had already gathered momentum for the guards. Immediately, dozens of horsemen rushed forward, but before they could rush forward, people from the opposite departments had already rushed up, captured the original leader, and twisted them to the front of the Qiang horse.

The faces of the five men were as dead as ashes. By this time, how they still did not understand. The so-called northern return to the prairie. It's just their own wishful thinking, not only do the various tribes within the clan have different voices, but even in their respective tribes, ordinary clansmen are not interested in this, otherwise, how can they be persuaded by Qiang. Instead, they were knocked off their horses.

Qiang Yan didn't mean to get off the horse, and directly looked down at the five people kneeling on the ground coldly, and ordered: "Beheaded!" ”

A moment later, five bloody human heads were presented. Qiang Yan nodded, looked around at the horse, and spoke loudly, and there was an immediate burst of cheers and thunder all around.

A turmoil was so easily dissipated invisibly, and when everyone dispersed, Xu Shu had no sleep, and invited Qiang Lang, Hu Chuquan and the leaders of the tribes to enter, and when everyone sat down, Xu Shu asked with a smile: "Shan Yu is really highly respected, a rebellion, so bloodless to quell down, I am very admired." ”

Although he tossed for most of the night, Qiang Yan seemed to be extremely energetic, hearing the words hahadaxiao, withered branch-like fingers, combing the long beard of the white flowers under the chin, and replied: "Sir is humble, which is the prestige of the contemptible people, but the prestige of the saint, the prestige of the court and the general of the chariot cavalry, how dare the contemptible people take credit." ”

Xu Shu was very satisfied with Qiang's knowledge, and also smiled and said to him: "Now Shan Yu has unified the opinions of all departments, and tomorrow I will ask Shan Yu to arrange, and Shu will read the special decree of the Holy Lord in public." ”

"Good, good!"

Qiang Yan is even more excited, the so-called holy special decree, of course, is the official canonization of him as the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu's will, this is something he has been looking forward to for many years.

Seeing that Qiang was still immersed in joy, Hu Chuquan hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Fang Cai Shan said, the imperial court has sent a three-way army to subdue the Hetao, and the contemptible people are not talented, and they are willing to hear its auspiciousness." ”

Xu Shu nodded and looked at Qiang Yan, who was slightly stunned and replied: "Everyone here is a person who has a heart for the court, and he is also trustworthy, sir, don't worry." ”

Deqiang was so sure, Xu Shu replied with a smile: "The three-way army is from Taiyuan and Hedong respectively, and the commanders are Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, and Xu Huang. Now that Shan Yu and the monarchs are in the heart of the imperial court, Zhang Liao will lead the army out of Yanmen, attack Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Ma Chao and Xu Huang's troops, and will still go up from the northeast of the river, through Meiji, to Wuyuan, in order to expel Xianbei and recover the homeland. ”

After a pause, Xu Shu met everyone's expectant eyes and continued: "According to the will of the lord, both the lord and the monarch can choose whether to send troops, and this is related to the Hetao Ranch, whether the lord will allow the monarch to participate in it. ”

Qiang Yan didn't say it, he already knew this, but Hu Chuquan and the leaders of the tribes were not the first to hear about it, and they made eye contact with each other for a while, or Hu Chuquan opened his mouth to ask: "What does the Hetao Ranch refer to, can you make it clear sir?" ”

Xu Shu hahadaxiao, happily said: "Long night, since Shan Yu and the gentlemen are interested, Shu Zi knows everything, and there is no end to it, but it's a long story, come to someone, prepare wine and snacks!" ”

Qiang Yan stretched out his hand and patted his head, and said to Xu Shu with some annoyance: "Look at the memory of the contemptible, how can you get less wine and snacks so late at night, and you have to bother Mr., it's really ......."

Xu Shu replied disapprerovingly: "Shan Yu is polite, Shu and Shan Yu are already ministers in the same hall, some trivial things, why worry about it." ”

After a short time, all the fine wine and exquisite snacks were served, and Xu Shu, Shan Yuqiang and others talked while eating and drinking, until the sky was slightly bright, and then they finished speaking.

Xu Shu has spent a lot of effort and in-depth exploration of the land measurement and pasture policy initiated by Lu Bu, and the conclusions he has drawn are very frightening, and the major impact of this move cannot be overemphasized.

Facing the leaders of the Southern Huns who looked dizzy after listening, but their eyes were bright and bright, Xu Shu secretly laughed in his heart, and at the same time felt a sense of satisfaction.

Being able to "turn" the Southern Xiongnu tribes to the lord's chariot through his hands is also a feat. At this time, what Xu Shu was thinking about in his heart was not a great achievement, but a feat.

In less than ten days, when Xu Huang and Ma Chao led the army to camp outside Meiji City, Shan Yu Qiang, who witnessed the majesty of the Han army's elite cavalry, as well as Hu Chuquan and others, all secretly rejoiced in their hearts, and also understood that what Xu Shu said that day was not a lie and threat, if they did not listen to Qiang's words that day, but echoed the clamoring to return north to the prairie, then the two elite cavalry in front of them, as well as the Bingzhou elite cavalry from Taiyuan, will mercilessly kill into Meiji and tame them by force.

But now, the situation is different, at least in the north to chase Xianbei, the Xiongnu and the Han court can completely stand together, and when they think of the fat pastures in the Hetao area, all those who know are full of eager expectations in their hearts.

The two armies stopped at Meiji, not entirely to declare their military authority to the Southern Xiongnu tribes, but also to wait for the infantry that followed, as well as the grain and grass transported from Taiyuan through Xihe County across the river, as well as the heavy crossbows on vehicles.

During this period, the Xiongnu tribes did everything they could to gather forces and prepare to play a necessary role in the battle of Xianbei in the north, so as to occupy a place in the future Hetao pasture.

Especially the subsequent arrival of larger-scale foot soldiers made the leaders of the Southern Xiongnu tribes happy.

For so many years, they have been squeezed by the Han and Xianbei in the north and south, and they have shrunk in Meiji, always thinking that the clan is like a cloud, and they have poured more wine in plain water, and they have also been passionate, generous and sad, chasing the past glory of the ancestors, and completely forgetting that under the weakness of many years, they have already lost the wildness flowing in the blood of their ancestors, otherwise, why for so many years, no one has really left Meiji and returned to the prairie in the north.

When the grain and grass from Taiyuan arrived, the army did not set off immediately, and Xu Shu invited Shan Yu Qiang, Hu Chuquan, and the leaders of various departments to gather outside Meiji City, but did not explain the intention.

It was already summer, the morning dewdrops, bathed in the rising sun, like pearls, exuding a charming light, the arrival of a large group of people, awakened the tranquility of the meadow outside the city.

Qiang Yan accompanied Xu Shu, walking in the lead, followed by Xu Huang and Ma Chao accompanied by Hu Chuquan, as well as the leaders of the various departments, squinted at the carts lined up in the distance in front of him, and praised: "These carts are used to transport grain and grass baggage, it is really easy to use, on the prairie, there is no danger to defend, and the carts are surrounded in a circle, which becomes a solid wall." ”

Xu Shu smiled, raised his whip and pointed over, and said to Qiang: "These are not baggage cars, but crossbows!" ”

"Shhh

Qiang Yan paused, gasped, turned his head to look over, his face was full of incredulity.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and stammered and asked, "Che, car crossbow, but, car cavalry general, defeated Xianbei Budugen, Fu Luo Han, car crossbow?" ”

Xu Shu haha smiled, nodded and replied: "Exactly, the lord has been preparing for several years for this northern expedition to Xianbei, that is, he wants to complete his work in one battle, and return all the Xianbei tribes to the north of Yinshan, and restore the homeland of Hetao." Shu invited Shan Yu today, all the monarchs, is to show the power of the crossbow, so that all the departments know how to cooperate in the battle against Xianbei. ”

"Okay, good," Qiang finally returned to normal, with the same look of anticipation, and replied in a loud voice, "I have heard for a long time that the crossbow is very powerful, and it can kill a galloping horse with one arrow, and I am about to see it today." ”

Xu Shu first invited Qiang Yan and others to come forward to take a look and feel the workmanship of the crossbow with their own hands, and then pointed to the target one hundred and fifty steps away, and said loudly to everyone: "This target is made of three cooked cowhides, and the kings have extraordinary riding and shooting skills, so you might as well step forward and try the firmness of the target."
