Hu Chuquan was stunned for a moment, and for some reason he became a guest from the bottom of the stairs. Cao Cao instructed: "Give Shao Shan Yu a bath and change clothes, and then serve a table of wine and meat, I want to drink with Shao Shan Yu!"

The wine and meat were placed on the table, and Hu Chuquan was not polite, grabbed a leg of mutton and gnawed it clean. Cao Cao didn't ask, just blindly persuaded him to drink. After a full meal, Hu Chuquan told his story.

It turned out that after the Xiongnu went to the expedition, their power gradually declined, and some of the Xiongnu went to foreign lands, leaving behind to form a new Xiongnu state, known as the "Southern Xiongnu". The Southern Xiongnu were not strong, and they had been vassal to the Han court for more than 300 years. Since the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was abducted by Dong Zhuo, the general situation in the world was unstable, and the Southern Xiongnu took the opportunity to go south, and the northern states suffered greatly at that time. Fortunately, the stability in the north was earlier, and the princes attached great importance to resisting foreign invaders, and the southern Xiongnu did not bargain much. Since then, the Xiongnu Shan Yuqiangqu is also afraid of the retaliation of the Central Plains court in the future, and is unwilling to send troops to invade the Central Plains.

At this time, the Southern Xiongnu were divided into two factions, one was the main battle faction, headed by Yu Fuluo, who advocated taking the opportunity to invade the territory and destroy the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop; Their reason is that although the situation in the Han court is unstable, the princes of the world are together, and no one is easy to mess with, and the Xiongnu people can escape the war, and the war will be involved in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains for no reason, which is really harmful and useless.

The two factions competed with each other, and the gap between the factions was particularly clear. That Yu Fuluo is strong in martial arts, and he is irritable, so he took advantage of Shan Yuqiangqu's unpreparedness, broke into the big tent and killed his father, and established himself as Shan Yu. Under the pressure of the situation, Hu Chuquan escaped from the Xiongnu in the name of an envoy under the cover of the leaders of the lord and faction, but it was also thrilling along the way, fortunately he was strong in martial arts, and finally escaped Yu Fuluo's pursuit and arrived in Jizhou.

At that time, I heard passers-by say that Yuan Shao was a general, and his ancestor was the fourth and third dukes, so Hu Chuquan made up his mind to follow him. I hope that one day, I can restore the country with his troops. Now he has fully revealed all these plans to Cao Cao, and it seems that he trusts Cao Cao very much.

After hearing this, Cao Cao pondered for a long time and said: "Shao Shan Yu, this matter is not trivial, let me explain it to the Son of Heaven." But the matter of the Huns is the matter of my Han Chaoting, and I, as the prime minister, will not ignore it, and please rest assured. ”

Hu Chuquan knelt down and bowed again: "Please also ask the prime minister to explain the reason for me in front of the Son of Heaven, and ask the Son of Han to help, the Huns are grateful!"

Cao Cao comforted him a few more words, and then sent him down to rest. Hu Chuquan didn't understand the current situation in the Central Plains, and thought that the Son of Heaven was in charge of everything, but I knew that it was the prime minister in front of him who was in charge of these things.

"Are you going to help him return to China?" I asked Cao Cao directly.

"The Xiongnu played the role of the Hexi Corridor and other large areas, the ancient people were fierce and fierce, and they were fond of killing and aggressive, and if the situation was unstable, it would indeed be a big trouble for the north and the entire Han family in the future. If it is true as Hu Chuquan said, then Yu Fuluo vainly tried to attack the Central Plains, and the Han family was in danger. Cao Cao said.

"Is it really that powerful?"

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Emperor Wu fought with the Xiongnu many times, and the general Huo Qubing occupied the Hexi Corridor twice, but he still couldn't completely eliminate the Xiongnu. He led the army north for more than 2,000 miles, crossed the Lihou Mountain, crossed the Gonglu River, engaged the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wangbu, annihilated hundreds of thousands of enemies, and took advantage of the victory to chase and kill the wolf Juxu Mountain, and killed countless enemies, which frustrated the spirit of the Huns in one fell swoop and forced them to move north. But after more than 100 years, I am afraid that the Huns are about to recover, but they must be guarded against!"

While he was talking, he suddenly reported outside the account: "Mr. Guo Jia asks to see!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed and said, "Please!"

After Guo Jia entered the account, he said: "Lord, are you worried about the Huns?"

I secretly paid this guy's ears and eyes are really sensitive, and he just went out to call the kitchen spring, and he knew that it was for the Huns.

Cao Cao said: "That's it, please ask Mr. to teach me what to do?"

Guo Jiadao: "Now Yuan Shao has been defeated, but he is still superior to our army in terms of troops. Moreover, after Yuan Shao returns this time, he must strictly order the northern states to defend the city, although our army takes advantage of the new victory, but it is also unbreakable in eagerness. But the counsellor should make decisions thousands of miles away, and seek the things of the present and the things that are not visible. In my opinion, the most urgent thing at the moment is not to pursue Yuan Shao, but to have two different races in Fanbang, and they need to be stabilized. ”

"Which two?" Cao Cao asked suspiciously.

"One is the Liaodong clan in the northeast, in the past, Gongsun Chan guarded the right Beiping, and Liaodong invaded the north many times, but fortunately, Gongsun Chan was brave and did not let the Liaoxi soldiers cross the border. But Yuan Shao in order to defeat Gongsun Zhan, colluded with Liaodong Qiu Liju and others, and now Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao rely on each other, one of them must be guarded against; the next is the Xiongnu in the north, the Xiongnu ancient combat power is strong, it is said that each Xiongnu can be one enemy ten, although our army is also a lion, but compared with the Xiongnu soldiers, I am afraid it is still inferior. If the Xiongnu invade the south, then even if our army occupies the north, they will all suffer from the enemy, and the sergeants will be tired of running for their lives, and will eventually give the world to others. Guo Jia walked leisurely and talked eloquently.

Cao Cao sighed and said, "Sure enough, Mr. I know me, and I am also worried, and I don't know what to do." ”

Guo Jia said: "I have a six-character mantra to dedicate to the lord, I wonder if the lord is willing to listen to it?"

Cao Cao glanced at me and said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. has a good plan, come out and listen." ”

Guo Jiadao: "It's nothing more than 'fighting with the Huns, fighting Liaodong'!"

Cao Cao stroked his palms and laughed: "This plan has won my heart, Mr. is really a genius of the world!"

At that moment, Cao Cao had no doubts, and said: "The arrival of Hu Chuquan is a godsend. To help him return to the country, I want him to make a promise! But now that the war is tight, who should be sent to complete this task?"

The last sentence was said to Guo Jia.

Guo Jiayu shook his fan lightly, and said with an ambiguous smile: "This person must have peerless martial arts, and be able to respond to changes on the spot, and not be confined to the battle of one city and one thing, in order to complete the task." ”

Cao Cao was puzzled: "Who is the person that Mr. is talking about? It seems that there are no such people in our army?"

Guo Jia said: "This person is far away in the sky, close in front of him!"

Cao Cao first glanced at him, and then fixed his eyes on me and didn't let go. I was picking up a piece of pig ear with chopsticks and eating it deliciously, but I noticed that he was both looking at me, and I panicked:

"You're not going to say it's me, are you?"

Guo Jia said: "It is Your Excellency. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "It seems that this matter belongs to you." ”

I bowed my head and said, "Two gentlemen, the Huns are so far away, and it is very dangerous to go. I still want to live a few years of peaceful life, Miss Cher is still waiting for me to go back and marry her, I can't let her be widowed at such a young age, you better let me go......"

Cao Cao said: "Brother Xian, how about we make an exchange?"

I shook my head and said, "I won't change anything!"

Cao Cao laughed secretly, my scalp was numb for a while, but I heard him say meaningfully:

"Take Runan City for a trip to you, will you change it?"
