The study was brightly lit, making it easy for the people in the room to read the map on the table. The map is simple, and it's not simple. The simple is Yuzhou, and Yanzhou, and only the border is drawn with a pen, and there are only six words within the border: Yuzhou, and Yanzhou, and there are no mountains and rivers, and there are no road twists and turns. It is not simple that the Xiongnu territory clearly draws some rivers and mountains, and Liu Bei does not know these geographical information.

Although Liu Bei had never been to the Xiongnu territory, he could judge the authenticity of the map. Because the winding border of the three states on the map is completely consistent with the information held by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, they can deduce the authenticity of this map.

Liu Bei's hand gently stroked the delicate paper on which the map was drawn and asked Jian Yong: "What words can the national teacher say when he gives the map?" ”

Jian Yong recalled: "The national teacher has a saying, and Prime Minister Zhuge will know its meaning when he looks at the map. ”

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang when he heard this, Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said: "The pictures in the picture are all the land of His Majesty, only the Xiongnu are not under the rule, and the intention of the national teacher is to let His Majesty take the Xiongnu to increase his strength." ”

Hearing this, Jian Yong couldn't help but nod and said, "In my humble opinion, the national teacher must mean this!" ”

Liu Bei had heard of the Xiongnu before, but today was the first time he knew that the territory of the Xiongnu was so big. If the Xiongnu can be taken down, Liu Bei's territory can be more than doubled, and he can also get many war horses, which makes Liu Bei excited. The key is that with Nanye's map as a guide, the certainty of defeating the Xiongnu is much greater, and this map can be said to have sent the land of the Xiongnu to Liu Bei, which cannot but be said to be a great gift.

In the face of such a big gift, Liu Bei was confused again. In the past, the two alliances, Nan Ye gave such a heavy gift, and Liu Bei accepted it. But now, although the relationship between the two families has not broken, it is almost like a break in the eyes of the world. Liu Bei didn't understand why Nan Ye still wanted to show favor to himself? Could it be that Nan Ye admits that his emperor is the orthodoxy of the Han family? Then he has no reason to set up another Liu Yi!

Liu Bei was puzzled, so he could only ask Jian Yongdao: "I and Sun Quan are called emperors, can the national teacher have something to say?" ”

Jian Yong immediately came to his senses when he heard this question, and when he had a secret conversation with Nan Ye, this question was the most discussed, so he immediately replied to Liu Bei: "The National Teacher is a god, and he has his own opinions about the three emperors, which makes the lower officials admire!" ”

Zhuge Liang also wanted to know why Nan Ye didn't make enemies of Liu Bei after Liu Bei became emperor, and he still had to give a big gift, so he urged: "What is the reason for the national teacher?" ”

Jian Yong stretched out a finger and said: "The national teacher has a saying, there is only one big man in the world!" ”

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's faces changed when they heard this, this is simply a declaration of war! At this time, I heard Jian Yong's words and said: "However, it is not known whether this big Han will return to the Southern Han or the Northern Han." ”

After hearing this, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang almost vomited blood, and they still had to fight when they went around together, but it is not known that they only knew after the fight! Liu Bei couldn't help but ask: "The national teacher is going to send troops to attack and fight it out?" ”

Jian Yong hurriedly shook his head and said, "Definitely! Definitely! The meaning of the national teacher is...... That one...... That's right! Idea! The national teacher said that he had the same concept as His Majesty, and they all thought that the land under their feet was the territory of my Han Dynasty, but the emperor they chose was different, which was an internal contradiction. As for Sun Quan and Cao Pi, they want to split the territory of our Han Dynasty and build another country, which is an external contradiction. The national teacher thought that he should first agree with His Majesty externally, and then resolve internal contradictions. It is not advisable to settle the outside world before the inside. ”

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang didn't know about the Taiwan issue, let alone the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and they didn't know much about the vocabulary that Nan Ye instilled in Jian Yong, but this did not prevent them from understanding Nan Ye's thinking. Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "In this way, the national teacher wants to be allied with His Majesty, first eliminate Sun Quan and Cao Pi, and then fight the winner." No matter what the victory or defeat is, this world is still my Han world. ”

Jian Yong nodded and said, "That's exactly what the national teacher meant!" The national teacher also made it clear that if there is really one day when only His Majesty and the national teacher are left in the world, and the two armies will inevitably fight, then they will go all out, and the winner will be king. Even if he is defeated, he will not do the thing of cutting the land and building the country, and he would rather be broken than broken! ”

Liu Bei slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "A good winner is king!" A good one would rather be broken than broken! I formed an alliance with the national teacher and first eliminated Wu and Wei. Fight in the future, talk about it later! ”

Zhuge Liang also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, he had to sigh that Nan Ye's thinking was different. In the eyes of the world, the relationship between the two countries is endless, and it is really convincing that Nan Ye can still find a reason for the alliance. can have this ending, it should be the best result for Liu Bei.

After determining that Nan Ye was not hostile, but sincerely helped Liu Bei develop his strength, Zhuge Liang discussed with Liu Bei to send troops to capture the land of the Xiongnu. Compared with Cao Pi and Sun Quan, the Xiongnu were soft persimmons, and Liu Bei planned to take the Xiongnu to strengthen his strength first, and then crusade against Cao Pi and Sun Quan.

Cao Pi and Sun Quan also received Nan Ye's return gifts. Liu Bei may not have imagined that there was also a map in each of Nanye's gifts to Cao Pi and Sun Quan. Cao Pi's map is marked north of Youzhou, the land of Wuhuan and Xianbei. Sun Quan's map marks that Qingzhou Donglai goes out to the sea to the east, and there are three Han and Goguryeo.

For Nan Ye's kindness, Sun Quan and Cao Pi also did not refuse to come, and the double temptation of expanding their territory and enhancing their strength made them choose to use troops abroad. is a small barbarian country, which is much easier to deal with than Nan Ye and Liu Bei.

Just when Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Cao Pi were using troops abroad, Nan Ye was not idle, leading an army of 100,000 to the west into Shu, and then to the west, entering the Qiangdi territory.

Nan Ye originally had no intention of expanding his territory, because his territory was already very large, but the population was lacking. Xiqiang is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not very attractive to Nanye. The main reason why he sent troops this time was because Ma Chao sent a message that the caravans on the Silk Road had been repeatedly sacked by the Qiang, and Ma Chao's soldiers and horses had to suppress the countries of the Western Regions and could not be mobilized frequently. Only then did he ask Nanye to send troops and pacify Xiqiang as soon as possible.

The Qiang and Di ethnic groups are in the west of Yizhou and Liangzhou, which is now Qinghai and Tibet. There are many tribes of these two ethnic groups, you have me, and the people of the Central Plains can't distinguish between them, so they are uniformly called Xiqiang. Originally, the Xiqiang tribes were independent and did not pose much threat to the Silk Road. But now there is a male lord in Xiqiang, who has unified all tribes and formed a force that is even larger than the countries of the Western Regions, which poses a threat to the Silk Road.

Nan Ye himself wanted to send troops on an expedition, and of course he had to find something to do for Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Cao Pi, so that they would not come to find trouble, so he sent out three maps to draw their attention outside the territory of the Han Dynasty.

But it is said that the king of Xiqiang, Cheriji, has a man and a martial arts under his command. Prime Minister Wen Nai Yadan, Marshal Wu Nai Yueji. With the assistance of these two people, Cherrigi successively unified the Xiqiang tribes and then had the intention of attacking the Central Plains. However, Cherrigi also knew that the Han Dynasty was strong, and he did not dare to attack the city as soon as he came up, so he first robbed the merchants on the Silk Road as a test.

Ma Chao and Pang De, who guarded the Silk Road, were not vegetarians, and they had several confrontations with Cherrigi, but they all won more and lost less. As long as the difference in strength is not too large, Cherrigi's Qiang soldiers will not be able to defeat Tiefutu and Kidnapping Horses at all. However, there were also a few times when Cherrigi looted successfully, after all, the Silk Road was too long, and it was impossible for Ma Chao and Pang De to defend it.

Through his confrontation with Ma Chao, Cherrigi realized the strength of the Han army. And several successful lootings also made him realize the wealth of the Han people. Cherrigi didn't have the courage to invade the state and county, so he continued to rob and simply became the king of the mountain.

When Cherrigi learned that Nan Ye had sent troops into the country, he was not very alarmed. As a qualified mountain king, he understands a truth: if you come out to mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back. Cherrigi had expected that there would be a battle with the Han army, but he didn't expect that it was not Ma Chao who came. It doesn't matter who the enemy is, the important thing is that Cherrigi is not afraid of the enemy, and immediately gathers the generals to discuss countermeasures.

Prime Minister Yadan said: "I heard that the person who led the troops this time is Nan Ye, the national division of the Han Dynasty, and there are 100,000 soldiers and horses. It is rumored that this person has a thaumaturgical magic method, and he can win every battle, and the king must not be guarded against. ”

Marshal Yue Ji said: "Is there a person in the world who wins a hundred battles? I will kill him for the king. ”

Cheriji did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and ordered Yadan and Yueji to raise 150,000 Qiang soldiers, prepare more bows, crossbows, guns, tribulus terrestris, flying hammers and other customary weapons, and send troops to fight with Nanye. He also ordered the Qiang soldiers to prepare chariots, wrap them in iron leaves, and load them with grain, weapons, and other things. These chariots were driven either by camels or by mules and horses, and each chariot was armed with a corps of soldiers, called iron chariot soldiers.

Yadan and Yueji resigned from the king and led the troops to meet the Nanye army. The news of the arrival of the Qiang soldiers had already been reported to the vanguard Wei Yan. Wei Yan is not the strongest martial artist under Nan Ye, but he is definitely the most belligerent. Knowing that the Qiang people sent troops, Wei Yan was not worried but happy, and on the one hand ordered the soldiers to inform the rear army Nanye, and on the other hand, he ordered more than 100 soldiers to personally visit the Qiang soldiers' formation.

Wei Yan led the troops to climb a high slope, only to see the Qiang soldiers connect the iron chariots end to end and form a camp, and the cars were lined up with weapons, like a city. When Wei Yan saw this battle, he remembered the dart chariot of the dart division, and he didn't know if these Qiang soldiers had plundered the caravan too much, and learned the usage of the dart chariot.

If others encounter this iron chariot soldier, there may be no way, but Wei Yan knows how to break this iron chariot soldier. What the dart master was most afraid of was that someone would suddenly attack before the dart cart formed a formation, and Wei Yan felt that this iron chariot soldier was the same. A strong attack will definitely not work, and it is necessary to mobilize the iron cart, first break its formation, and then attack suddenly.

Wei Yan returned to the army, selected a tall and mighty soldier in the battalion, and handed over his spare set of clothes and armor to the soldier, and instructed the soldier to do so. The soldiers had to order themselves to prepare, and Wei Yan led the troops to choose a mountain col to ambush.

The next day, the tall soldiers selected by Wei Yan wore Wei Yan's clothes and armor, and under the banner of Wei Yan, led a thousand soldiers and horses to the front of the Qiang army formation and said: "I am Wei Yan, the Han general, who are you waiting to lead the troops?" Do you dare to fight me? ”

No one in the Qiang army knew Wei Yan at all, so naturally he didn't know whether it was true or not, and when he saw that soldier was mighty, he believed it to be true. Marshal Yue Ji had never heard of Wei Yan's name, and when he saw that the military generals on the opposite side dared to show off their might with only more than a thousand soldiers, he was furious at that time. Holding a hammer in his hand and hanging a treasure carving bow at his waist, the prancing horse bravely debuted: "I am the generalissimo Yueji, you will eat my hammer!" "Let's beat the horse and kill the front of the battle.
