Deng Ai was very confused, and he didn't expect that his reminder would cause his general to go north.

But fortunately, it was Deng Ai who thought of a new reason for persuasion in a very short time.

"Envoy, what you said does make sense, but I'm afraid it doesn't fit the current situation." Deng Ai quickly surrendered his hand and admonished Ma Jian with a straight face.

"The five Xiongnu tribes had a large population and nearly 100,000 soldiers who could fight. The Taiyuan area it occupies is even easier to defend and difficult to attack, and the pass fortress is extremely strong. ”

"And at present, in the Shangdang area, the main force of the Wei army is constantly gathering, and there is a possibility of counterattack at any time. Besides, we haven't grabbed the Emei Plateau yet

Come, this is the disadvantage of our army......"

The topography of the Taiyuan Basin where Jinyang is located is important, and the passes are extremely difficult to break. Especially between Pingyang County and Taiyuan Basin, there is a "Sparrow Mouse Valley" that is comparable to the steepness of the Sword Pavilion.

Such a natural danger is placed here, and the Southern Xiongnu is not a soft persimmon, how can it be so easy for you to beat down.

Once the Han army was frozen by the Xiongnu on the Taiyuan line, the Shangdang Wei army could take advantage of the situation to advance westward. At that time, the situation in the merged states, which was originally very good, is likely to take a sharp turn for the worse.

Deng Ai's exhortation did attract Ma Tan's attention, and after re-studying the map, Ma Jian also found that Jinyang's front line was tricky. Although he was confident that he could win quickly, given the terrain, he would probably lose a lot of troops.

This made Ma Jian a little undecided, and whenever he reduced the loss of the trilogy, he needed to put it first. Especially since he is now bringing the troops of the Six Towns, if the losses are too large, the Six Towns will be unstable.

In this regard, Ma Jian made an extremely careful plan.

Then Ma Tan judged according to the situation, and the next step was to deter the Huns or kill them all the way.

Hearing Ma Tan's words, Deng Ai breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard Ma Tan continue,

Ma Tan's action and courage were huge, and soon he overrode public opinion and personally went to Jinyang to cut off the head of Xiongnu Shan Yu.

"If this is the case, I am afraid that it is really impossible for the army to go north......" Ma Jian touched his chin and groaned to admit the difficulties of the situation.

Although this plan has a little risk, it has aroused strong opposition from the generals. However, for the sake of the current situation and his own little death, Ma Jian still decided to carry out this plan.

"Since this is the case, I will take a few people straight into Jinyang and directly cut down the Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu."

So, after two days of preparation, Ma Tan ordered Deng Ai Jiangwei to jointly lead the troops to guard against Shangdang Wei. Subsequently, he selected several elite soldiers and Ma Zhong as his personal guards.

Deng Ai: "Huh?? ”

First of all, he pretended to be an envoy of the Han Dynasty and entered Taiyuan County on the pretext of urging the Xiongnu to send troops. Then he went straight to Jinyang with a few followers, and then cut him off his horse with a knife when he was received by the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

…………

…………

After all my persuasion for a long time, you have come to such a conclusion?

…………

And Ma Tan took this group of people to ride horses and started the trip to Jinyang.

Pingyang County is not far from Taiyuan County, Ma Tan set off from Pingyang County and came to the Bird Mouse Valley in a few days. After encountering the Huns' sentry blocking the road, Ma Zhong, who had a tacit understanding, pushed out.

"You are the envoys of the Han court?" The leading Xiongnu Baichang looked at Ma Zhong and the others repeatedly, and his attitude seemed a little hesitant.

"That's right, I'm the Han envoy Ma Zhong, who came to urge you to send troops to attack Wei together! Why, do you still want to get in the way? Ma Zhong straightened his chest and showed an extremely arrogant attitude towards the Huns.

"If you are really a messenger, then I naturally dare not stand in the way." The Baichang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ma Zhong and the others, and then pointed to Ma Jian and asked.

"But why do you Han Ting always like to send such a majestic person as an envoy? You don't want to be held accountable, are you? ”

The danger factor represented by the Han envoy in these years is not ordinarily high, not to mention that Ma Jian does not seem to be an ordinary person, so he can't hesitate.

Ma Yan: "......"

Doesn't my TM's pretending to be a grandson?

"You can let it go, what does this have to do with a hundred chiefs?" Ma Zhong glanced at him with slanted eyes and snorted coldly.

This Baichang was still a little hesitant, but Ma Jian and his party had already directly and forcibly broken through their block. Because they were flying under the banner of the Han Dynasty, the Huns did not dare to do anything at all, so they could only report back to Pegasus.

At this time in Jinyang, the Xiongnu Shan Yu Hu Chuquan was having a feast with the right and right kings. When he received the Han envoy's tough coming, he was a little stunned for a while.

"I originally thought that the Wei people were rude enough, but I didn't expect that the Han people in Chang'an were even worse than the Wei people! This is not taking me Hun seriously at all! ”

Hu Chuquan was very unhappy with the tough attitude of the Han people, and while scolding, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up.

"Where are you going? Didn't you say there was going to be a feast? Youxian Wang Qubei saw Hu Chuquan standing up, and asked with some curiosity.

"Of course, we are going to meet the Han envoys, if we really let the Han people find an excuse, we have to send a large army to Jinyang to do us." Hu Chuquan looked gloomy, replied angrily, and then went to greet him outside the city with a few entourage.

"Alas, this group of Han people is really arrogant...... If you want me to say that it is better to deal with the Han people with the Wei people, it is better than being so angry now. Qubei shook his head and said with some indignation.

Compared with Hu Chuquan, who saw the wind and made the rudder, Qubei had a higher impression of Cao Wei. It's a pity that he is only a right virtuous king in the end, and since Hu Chuquan returned to Jinyang from Yecheng, he has no power.

Although it has the name of supervising the country, but there is no actual supervising country, it can only be called by Hu Chuquan.

But at this time, Liu Bao, the always silent Zuoxian King, suddenly came over, looked at him and said,

"Does the Right Xian King want to break off diplomatic relations with the Han people and take refuge in Da Weihu?"

"Or else?" frowned, and distanced himself from Liu Bao without leaving a trace. He didn't like Liu Bao, and always felt that this Zuo Xian King, who had been wandering in Han for many years, was not like a Huns, but like a Han man.

"I have an idea to let Shan Yu break off diplomatic relations with Shu Han and unite with Great Wei, I wonder if you are interested?" Liu Bao smiled mysteriously and said to King Youxian.

"Huh? Tell me about it? He was stunned for a moment and immediately asked.

"Do you remember when Emperor Wu met with my Xiongnu envoys in the past?" Liu Bao didn't sell it, and directly took out the report sent back by the scout, and said to Qubei.

"Once, Emperor Wei Wu pretended to be a guard in order to tease my Huns...... It's a pity that because his appearance is too majestic, he couldn't deceive my Hun envoys. ”

"And it just so happens that if you look at the report from the scout in front of us now, there is also a majestic one in the Han envoy group."

"Guess who he will be?"
