The weather was nice and the sun was slanting westward.

A Xiongnu mission of more than 30 people led by Hu Yanye, the commander of the Xiongnu, under the supervision of the Han army, entered the Han Dynasty from north to south, passed through Shuofang, Shangjun, Beidi and other counties, and approached Chang'an all the way.

When this afternoon, the majestic city wall of Chang'an appeared in sight from afar, Hu Yanye looked out from the carriage, and his eyes stared at Chang'an for a moment.

Since entering the land of the Han Chinese, they have been required to change chariots and are no longer allowed to ride horses.

Hu Yanye served as the commander of Zuo Dadu in the Xiongnu, which was equivalent to an official position in the Han Dynasty second to Jiuqing, and his position was very high.

Hu Yanye was accompanied by his deputy Timan, and the famous warrior general of the clan, Subna, who was in charge of the guard.

Hu Yanye is in his early forties this year, in the prime of life, wearing a kind of leather helmet unique to the Huns, with horizontal stripes on it, and his hair is pierced from it, like a beast.

When he watches at it, it's like being targeted by a wolf, and you feel the pressure.

Hu Yanye's deputy Timan is middle-aged, and he is quite thin among the Huns, giving people a lot of amiable feelings, but in fact, this gentleman is notorious in the Huns.

It is rumored that when he was young, his family was poor, and he had no food in winter, and he once starved to death to feed on human flesh.

Subna, who was in charge of the guards, was uninhibited, his hair was braided into a thick braid on his head, and his body was imposing.

In the weather of early April, he seemed to be a little hot and his chest was open.

Compared with the Han Chinese, the Xiongnu also had their own unique way of cultivation, which was the spiritual practice of shamanism that they believed in, and they also had blood-like abilities that would gradually increase with age.

Subu is one of the Xiongnu surnames, and there have been many warriors in the clan.

"This time I came south, it was really boring, and I couldn't fight again.

I thought I could get two Han women, but looking at the attitude of these Han soldiers towards us, I am afraid that it will not work, I would not have come if I knew this. ”

Subna muttered and glanced at Chang'an: "The Han people built the city as tall as the mountains, and they were born a timid people, but they only knew how to hide behind the city wall, and they didn't dare to fight my Hun warriors head-on." ”

Hu Yanye looked at Su Buna: "You forgot the purpose of coming to Han this time, before leaving, how did you promise Da Shan Yu and me?" ”

"Of course I do."

Subna said with some irritation: "But what I said is not the truth?

The Han people will only hide behind the city wall, just like the cattle and sheep we raise, once they get rid of the protection of the city wall and wooden barricades, they will be eaten by wolves.

The Han people built the city wall higher and higher, but they never thought that only when they were strong and turned into wolves could they eat meat and hunt sheep on the grassland. ”

Hu Yanye said: "If the Han people are weak, why is it difficult for our Xiongnu to win several battles in recent years?" ”

"When the wolves scatter their forces and start fighting each other for food, they can't win the battle.

In the past few years, our Xiongnu departments can not work together, and the Han people have taken advantage of the loopholes, if we officially get up, which Han people are our opponents? ”

"We came to the capital of the Han people this time, and the main reason for the decisive victory was not ours, but in my brother Xu Buhui, only the Han people thought that we were here to sue for peace."

Several people were talking in Xiongnu in the frame, and their voices did not converge at all, but they did not reveal any specific content.

Outside the car, there were two secret detectives, riding horses and accompanying them, secretly exchanging glances. One of them shook his head slightly: "These Huns seem to be rough, but they actually said it to us on purpose. ”

In the blink of an eye, the frame of the Xiongnu envoy approached Chang'an, and was ordered by one of the nine Qings to arrange for people to be welcomed into the city.

The Great Order was an official in charge of the barbarians or the rituals of the vassal states in the Han Dynasty.

"What are the Huns going to do when they come to my Han?"

In the evening, in the front hall of Huo's mansion, Liu Xiang casually picked up a persimmon and took a bite.

The flesh is delicate, the taste is sweet, the juice is sufficient, and the taste is very good.

As a clan relative, he knew a few days ago that the Xiongnu had sent envoys over.

In the past few days, the most talked about by the elite class in Chang'an is the Xiongnu.

The Han and Xiongnu have been entangled for many years, fighting each other, negotiating peace, and the alternation of strength and weakness has lasted for a hundred years.

Liu Xiang himself couldn't figure out the purpose of the Huns' coming, and asked Huo Quai, who was looking at the map.

"The Huns want to delay the offensive of our Han Dynasty in the spring, they want to graze with peace of mind in the summer when the pasture is fertile, and when the autumn comes, the initiative to fight and make peace will fall into their hands."

Huo Qubing had discussed with Wei Qing the purpose of the Xiongnu envoy before he was sick, but he didn't know exactly what means they were going to use.

It is impossible to rely on two mouths alone, and the Huns must have taken practical actions to respond to their mission.

Huo Quai's gaze wandered back and forth on the map.

The land of the Han Dynasty is marked on the map, with nomadic tribes such as the Qiang and Di tribes on the west side and the Xiongnu on the north side. Between the two is a narrow passage connecting the countries of the Western Regions.

"In my opinion, the Huns saw that our Han people had never beheaded them, so they dared to run over."

Liu Xiang ate up a pimple, reached out and took it again, suddenly grabbed it empty, and turned his head to find that it was Xiong San standing aside, took away the tall wooden support containing the pimple, and glared at Liu Xiang angrily:

"My son-in-law hasn't eaten it yet, there are only four persimmon fruits in total, and you have eaten two, and you still take it?"

Liu Xiang has been a little afraid of Xiong San since he was a child, and honestly withdrew his hand to take the fruit: "What do you say Your Majesty will do to these Hun envoys?" ”

"According to Your Majesty's temperament, you will leave these Huns aside and let them expose their purpose." Huo Quzhi said indifferently.

"I'm here every day, aren't you annoyed?" Liu Xiang suddenly changed the subject.

Huo Quzhi glanced up at him.

"Your supernatural powers are really important to me."

Liu Xiang saw Xiong San go out to wash the fruits, and whispered: "I don't hide it, my body has sometimes not worked well in the past few years, you have to help me!" ”

When a man admits to you that he is not a man anymore, and he is still his own hair, Huo Quzhi said helplessly: "You can't learn to teach you." ”

Seeing that Liu Xiang was about to speak, he said:

"To learn this supernatural power, you must first penetrate the Nine Realms of the Soldier's Family, and before and after breaking into the Heavenly and Human Realm, you can open the supernatural power, and it is difficult to say what kind of military strategy you can obtain.

With your qualifications, you may study for twenty or thirty years, but you may not be able to penetrate all the lower nine realms. ”

When he said a word, Liu Xiang's face turned pale.

After he finished speaking, Liu Xiang was completely desperate, and his face turned pale.

Huo Quzhi: "I can help you bless once, let's say okay, if you agree, I will help you at most once in the next month, don't bother me at other times?" ”

Liu Xiang immediately came back to life: "Then I will use this month's number of times today." ”

Huo Quzhi sighed, pushed the military book in his consciousness, and the talented beauty plan turned into a qi machine, and the volley was blessed on Liu Xiang.

At the same moment, Liu Xiang seemed to have found the true meaning of life, looked down in disbelief, and then looked at Huo Quai: "Then I'll go, go sick." ”

Huo Quzhi waved his hand and went to the back house by himself.

It is worth mentioning that the big cat has a new love in Changding Hall in the past two days, and it is now coming back every other day to accompany Huo to stay sick for a day, and then go to Liu Qing's side, not biased.

The night is getting darker.

Huo Quzhi came to the study, closed his eyes and entered the state of cultivation.

He found that when he pushed the Zhihai Teng Snake with all his might, several military strategies that had been opened in the war book would also have the power to be absorbed by the Teng Snake.

At the center of the snake's eyebrows, a wisp of Dan Qi drawn from the bottom of the well will become full, like a real Great Dan is about to roll down.

The breath of this elixir alone made Huo Quzhi feel that his cultivation speed was faster than usual.

Based on this, he guessed that the breath that Teng Snake absorbed from the bottom of the well, including the military strategy power pushed out of the war book, was all nourishing the Dan Qi in Teng Snake's eyebrows, and it would eventually be used for himself.

This Great Dan formed by the Teng Snake Swallowing Tactics and the Breath at the bottom of the well, and even the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, is likely to allow his strength to directly make a breakthrough in the realm.

During the cultivation, Huo Quai's soldier's primordial spirit became extremely clear, reflecting the heaven and the earth.

The long night is fleeting.

The next day, Huo Qubing came to Weiyang Palace to meet Liu Che.

In the study, the Imperial Historian Fan, Taichang Zhou Ping, and the Great Xingling Li Xi were discussing things with Liu Che.

Li Xi is stocky, although he is a big order, he is a soldier, and he has followed Wei Qing to fight against the Huns several times, and he has a fierce atmosphere.

Liu Che was looking at the letter of state presented by the Xiongnu mission, and said to Li Xi: "Let these Huns go for two days, and they themselves will be unable to help but tell the purpose of coming." ”

Li Xi took the order and went.

Liu Che turned his gaze to Huo Quai.

"Your Majesty, I want to lead the army on a trip." Huo went to the sick road.

Liu Che snorted: "Go out for training?" ”

"Yes, this time I may have to go farther, it will take five or six days." Huo went to the sick road.

Liu Che didn't ask much, and said, "I know, you can go." ”

After Huo Qu fell ill, Taichang Zhou Ping and Yu Shi Fan on the side looked at each other: "Your Majesty is really generous to Huo Shizhong. ”

Liu Che looked at Zhou Ping: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Zhou Ping bowed and said: "Huo Shizhong is seventeen, and he has already reached the age of marriage, if he has a family, he should be more stable." ”

Liu Che smiled: "Do you want to say that you can't get married?" ”
