A few days later, at the beginning of May of the first year of Jianxing, the former Hedong Taishou Mansion in Anyi County, and now the Mansion of the Great Han Hussar General, came to several uninvited guests.

There were a few people dressed as Han Chinese, but their faces were a little different, not that they were too different from the Han people, but their complexions tended to be black and yellow, their faces were flushed, and their appearance was slightly different from the Han people in the Central Plains.

The person at the head was a middle-aged Confucian in his forties, and after entering the door, he saluted like Shen Chen: "Luan Ti Chulin pays a visit to the hussar general." ”

"You are the envoy sent by the Southern Huns, why do you look like a Han Chinese?"

Shen Chen asked in surprise.

The man hurriedly said: "Yes, I have a Han name, called Liu Xuan, the character Shize, the current Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Chuquan, is my elder brother." ”

"I didn't expect it to be a Hun royal family, please take a seat."

Shen Chen was surprised.

Liu Xuan, according to historical records, is the uncle and grandfather of Liu Yuan, the former emperor of Zhao Founding Dynasty, the youngest son of Qiangqu Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu, the former Shan Yu Fuluo, and now the younger brother of Hu Chuquan.

But in fact, Qiangqu Shan died in 187 A.D., and the former Zhao was established in 308 A.D. when Liu Yuan called the emperor, and it was recorded that Liu Xuan was still there, and was appointed by Liu Yuan as the first prime minister of the former Zhao, and died of illness soon after.

This means that if the historical records are correct, then even if the widow of Qiangqu Shan Yu was born in 188 AD, he is also an old birthday star who lived to be 120 years old, better than Sima Yi, from the late Han Dynasty to Wuhu Chaohua.

Shen Chen naturally didn't know that this was really a hundred-year-old turtle, and after they sat down, he said: "It's just that a Hun is actually wearing Confucian clothes, I see that you can speak Chinese very well, isn't it?" ”

Liu Xuan sat on the top of his seat and faced Shen Chen, smiled and said to the east: "I once studied "Mao Shi", "Li Ji", "Spring and Autumn Three Legends", "Chinese", "Erya" and "Shangshu" with the Great Confucian Shuran Gong in Qingzhou, and I also once read the "Zhuzi Yan" and "Shen Classic" of the hussar general, and I benefited a lot. ”

Shen Chen nodded with a smile and said: "I see, Mr. Shuran studied from Kang Chenggong in his early years, and he was a proud disciple of Kang Chenggong. ”

A young man next to him immediately said: "Shu Rangong said that my father was the best disciple of his disciple, and he once compared my father to a marquis. ”

"Oh?"

Shen Chen was quite surprised: "Compared to Qinhou, I didn't expect Mr. Shi Ze to be so talented." ”

"Where, where."

Liu Xuan hurriedly said: "It's my son's nonsense, Kang Chenggong and Zhongzigong are equally famous, the hussar general is Zhongzigong's high-ranking apprentice, and he is also such as today's famous Confucian, compared to Xuan, the hussar general is the pillar of the Han Dynasty." ”

"Hahahahaha."

Shen Chen was noncommittal to Liu Xuan's compliment, and said with a smile: "The Han Dynasty has always been tolerant of all rivers, whether it is the Huns or the Xianbei people, as long as they are dedicated to the Han, there is no difference between the Hu and the Han, they are all the people of the Han Dynasty." What is the matter with Mr. coming on behalf of the Southern Huns? ”

Liu Xuan stood up and arched his hand and said: "The hussar general is extraordinary, and the Huns are all admired. When I heard that the general had arrived in Hedong County, my brother and my nephew specially selected a thousand horses and asked me to come over and give them to the general. ”

Shen Chen picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, then squinted his eyes, put the teacup down, and said with a smile: "Mr. came here, I'm afraid it's not just for gifts." ”

When Shen Chen conquered Chang'an, the Southern Xiongnu sent people to contact him and expressed their goodwill.

But when Shen Chen asked them to change their banner and ask them to take the Southern Han as orthodoxy, these guys talked about it left and right, obviously planning to bet on both sides, neither offending the Han nor daring to rebel against Wei.

In the final analysis, Cao Cao's methods against the frontier aliens were too ruthless. Yu Fuluo was educated by Cao Cao back then, and there were Wuhuan people, and the Karasuma Rebellion on the border of Youzhou was quelled by Cao Cao.

Later, Cao Cao moved to the southern Xiongnu to the Shangdang County, divided them into five departments, and their strength was greatly weakened, not to mention, they were basically reduced to Cao Wei's vassals.

At this moment, Liu Xuan, as the envoy of the Southern Huns, probably saw that Cao Wei was not as good as one day, and had other ideas.

Really.

Liu Xuan said: "Although my brother is a Xiongnu Shan Yu, but he can't help himself, Cao Cao forced my brother to be attached, otherwise the clan will be wiped out." Now my brother is now detained in Luoyang, and I recently heard that Cao Rong is preparing to move the capital, and my brother is willing to do it. ”

"Will it be an internal response?"

Shen Chen touched his chin, his eyes puzzled.

The Xiongnu is now divided into five divisions, the main department is the single Yu Hu Chuquan department, and then there is the right part for the right Xian Wang to go to the Bei department, the left Xian Wang Liu Bao department, and the right valley Li Wang Pan Liuxi department, the left valley Li Wang Xun Dou department and so on.

These people seem to reside in the upper party, as if they are not constrained.

But in fact, Cao Cao had already targeted, he detained Hu Chuquan in Yecheng, and the rest of the Xiongnu departments were placed under the supervision of Han Duwei and Sima, especially the strongest Huchuquan Department, which was completely controlled by the people sent by Cao Cao.

When Shen Chen fought Hedong, there were many Huns in Xu Huang's troops, and they were all sent by the Cao Wei court, and it was obvious that the Huns were forced to fight for Cao Wei.

Now that the Huns see that Cao Wei is declining, they are quite planning to change their doors and want to defect to the arms of the Han Dynasty.

The question is, is there any fraud in this?

After all, the Huns were too tightly controlled by Cao Wei, and Liu Xuan couldn't say that they were willing to do internal response, in case this was a trick to lure the enemy, and they would turn against each other at a critical moment, it would be bad.

So Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "I heard that the tribe of Huchuquan Shan Yu is controlled by Cao Weizhi's Han Duwei and Sima, and the other four tribes also have Han Duwei and Sima overseer. ”

Liu Xuan said with a smile: "General Hui, Cao Wei is preparing to move the capital, when the capital is moved, hundreds of thousands of people and countless officials will go east, it will be chaotic, my brother plans to take this opportunity to escape, if he can return to the tribe, he will kill Cao Wei's commander Sima, erect the banner of the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and welcome the general into the state." ”

"Huh."

Shen Chen smiled and said, "The state is almost defenseless, and if I want to merge the state, it's as easy as a hand." ”

Liu Xuan said: "The general doesn't know yet, Cao Rong has already sent 50,000 troops into the annexed state, and ordered the Xiongnu departments to send tens of thousands of troops together, wanting to keep the general out of the annexed state." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Xuan looked at Shen Chen's face seriously, but found that Shen Chen's joy and anger were invisible, and there was almost no change in that way.

He was a little unsure, was it because Shen Chen didn't take these people seriously, or did he already know about it?

Shen Chen's face really didn't change, he still looked at Liu Xuan with a smile, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then said slowly: "Even Cao Cao can't please me in person, Biqiu is a cynic, he went to Bingzhou and came to fight with me, it is tantamount to selling Seoul, what am I afraid of?" ”

Liu Xuan suddenly felt a chill in his back, and a cold sweat arose.

He had wanted to use the news to sell for a good price, or he had other ideas before he came.

If Shen Chen's side was really strong and strong, Cao Wei's side couldn't resist it, so he used this news and Biqiu Jian's new army as a vote to sell Cao Wei.

If Shen Chen's side is not good, Cao Wei's side can resist it, so he will offer a plan to Cao Wei's court, use the Huns' deception as bait to lure Shen Chen into the annexed state, and then find a way to ambush him and defeat him.

As long as Shen Chen is defeated, with Cao Wei's size, he will not be defeated so easily.

But now it seems that his little abacus may not be so easy to realize, because Shen Chen seems to have known that Cao Rong is preparing to move the capital, and he also sent Biqiu Jian to merge the state.

This means that not only is he well aware of the Cao Wei court, but he is also very clear about the situation in Bingzhou.

If you want to hide from the world, I am afraid it is very difficult.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuan reluctantly smiled and said: "General Shenwei, Biqiu Jian is a mantis arm as a car, but the Huns are willing to submit to the heart of the Han Dynasty, and please ask the general to be clear." ”

"Hmm."

Shen Chen smiled and said, "This is natural, but Cao Wei has a deep penetration of the Huns, and it is not so easy for you to get rid of it." Besides, I won't send troops easily, I need to see your sincerity, so be it. When Hu Chuquan escapes from Luoyang and returns to the tribe, when you kill Cao Wei's officials and attack Biqiujian, I will send troops to help, what do you think? ”

This is obviously planning not to see the rabbit or the eagle, and is not ready to do it with the Huns, but hopes that the Huns will attack the Wei army of Biqiu Jian first, and wait until the dogs on both sides eat the dogs and the dog's brains are out before sending troops.

Liu Xuan, as the later former prime minister of Zhao, naturally guessed what Shen Chen meant.

For the Han Dynasty, the Huns may not be able to be trusted, so it is more in line with the interests of the Han army to let the Huns and Cao Wei suffer from internal friction first, and then the Han army will be dispatched.

But this was not in the interests of the Huns.

Liu Xuanquan said: "General, although the Wei army is a new army, its weapons and equipment are far superior to those of the Xiongnu, if we attack first, I am afraid that we will be defeated by them." When the time comes, before the general arrives, we will be defeated first, won't we waste this opportunity in vain? It's better to ask the general to send troops first, and we pretend to be dispatched by Wei County, and it is better to defect at a critical moment. ”

"Mr. Shi Ze is very reasonable, but our army has just finished fighting in Hedong and still needs to rest, please go back first, and then discuss."

Shen Chen excused himself.

Liu Xuan hurriedly said: "General Mingjian, Cao Rong is about to move the capital to Yecheng, my brother has only one chance to escape, if the general can't deal with us, once my brother leaves Luoyang and returns to the tribe, he will be jealous of Cao Wei and send someone to arrest him." ”

"Well, this one."

Shen Chen hesitated for a moment.

Because Liu Xuan was right, if he watched from the sidelines, and the Huns were attacked by Cao Wei, he would be defeated by Cao Wei and lose an opportunity to easily annex the state.

What's more, Hu Chuquan wanted to take advantage of Cao Wei's relocation of the capital and the chaos to escape.

And this is his chance to escape.

If Cao Wei's side found out that he had escaped, he would inevitably suspect that Hu Chuquan wanted to defect to Han, and he might even immediately ask Biqiu Jian to control Liu Bao, the leader of the Xiongnu tribes, and others to prevent them from making trouble.

If this was the case, then Shen Chen would indeed miss an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Shen Chen nodded his chin slightly and said, "What Mr. said is also somewhat reasonable. I'm not afraid of that frugality, but it's a good thing that I can easily get the state. In this way, moving is not a trivial matter, Cao Rong wants to go to Yecheng, it should not be so fast, I have an internal response in Cao Wei, and I can know the specific relocation of the capital at any time, and after they are confirmed, we will discuss a specific plan in detail, what do you think? ”

This is the old opinion, Liu Xuan arched his hand and said: "Listen to the general's words." ”

"Hmm."

Shen Chen said: "I also need to discuss with the generals, sir, please go back." ”

"Then wait for the good news of the general and announce his resignation."

Liu Xuan got up and said goodbye.

Looking at his departing back, Shen Chen narrowed his eyes.

Huns?

If you have milk, you are a mother, can you trust it?
