Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 225 The Affair of the Southern Huns

When Li Xiang returned to Bingzhou this time, he planned to put aside the things at hand for a period of time and concentrate on taking care of Li Yang during this time to show his filial piety.

After all, Li Xiang has been busy with various things since his rebirth until now, and he hasn't really served Li Yang yet.

It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Of course, the last half of the sentence has nothing to do with Li Xiang.As long as Li Xiang wants to spare some time to serve Li Yang, all kinds of things will happen.

On the second day after Li Xiang returned to Jinyang, before Li Xiang went to meet Wang Meng, Qin Qiong and other old subordinates, Mao Xiang handed Li Xiang a purple secret report with his own hands.

In the floating water room, according to the urgency of the secret report, it is divided into seven levels: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple.The purple secret report is precisely the highest level of secret report in the floating water room, and it cannot be used unless it is urgent.

Now that the spies in the floating water room have used the never-used purple secret message, it can be seen that the situation is urgent.

……

"Tell me what you think about this matter."

Inside the study, Li Xiang looked at Wang Meng, Jia Xu, Xun Yu and Wei Xiaokuan with a slightly solemn expression.

Hearing this, Wang Meng and the other four also frowned, obviously Wang Meng and the others were a little uncertain about this matter for a while.

The thing is like this, not long ago there was a large-scale battle between Mongolia and the Southern Huns.

In this battle, both sides sent [-] troops each, and the two sides confronted each other in the border.

However, at the time of the confrontation between Wanyan Aguda and Temujin, Temujin sent Mu Huali to secretly divide [-] troops into the hinterland of the Southern Huns, and went straight into the hinterland of the Southern Huns.

The main force of the Huns was in front, and the hinterland was empty. Mu Huali was unstoppable for a while, plundering the Huns' cattle and sheep, killing their young and old, and capturing their wives.

In times of crisis, Wanyan Yinshu took the initiative to ask for orders and led [-] troops to stop Temujin's army, while Wanyan Aguda led the rest of the army to return to the tribe to expel Mu Huali.

Unfortunately, when Wanyan Aguda returned, Mu Huali had already led the army back.However, all the troops of Wanyan Yinshu who helped Wanyan Agu interrupted were killed in battle, and even Wanyan Yinshu himself was killed by Temujin's new general Gai Shuwen.

In this battle, the Southern Huns suffered heavy losses and their vitality was severely injured, and they had completely lost the capital to fight against Mongolia.If there is no accident, if there is no external force to intervene, then it is only a matter of time before the Southern Huns are swallowed by Mongolia after this battle.

And with Wanyan Aguda's eyes, he could see this problem.It's a pity that Xianbei, who Wanyan Aguda planned to introduce at the risk of seeking skin from a tiger, was too busy to take care of himself.

Due to the influence of the system, Tuoba Tao and Yelu Abaoji, who were implanted in the eastern Xianbei, were unwilling to be lonely, and began to shine their own light in this troubled world.

Tuoba Tao and Yelu Abaoji used various methods to gradually devour the East and West Xianbei, and started their own roads to unify the East and West Xianbei.And these two planned for their own plans, and also designed to cause civil strife in the central Xianbei, just to prevent the central Xianbei from affecting their plans.

Therefore, Wanyan Aguda's idea of ​​introducing Xianbei into the arena this time has completely failed. No one in Xianbei is in the mood to answer Wanyan Aguda now, let alone rescue him.

People were forced out, and when the Southern Huns were about to be overwhelmed, Wanyan Aguda's younger brother Wanyan Wu Qimai boldly came up with the idea of ​​asking the big man for help.

From Wanyan Wu Qimai's point of view, even though the relationship between the soldiers and civilians of Bingzhou and the Southern Huns of the Han Dynasty was like a life-and-death enemy, the court of the Han Dynasty was not in Bingzhou, and those rulers might not care about it.

As long as the Southern Huns showed their willingness to submit, those proud Han rulers would not mind helping the Southern Huns.

What's more, even on the Bingzhou side, as long as there are enough interests, the Bingzhou Army may not agree to support the Southern Huns.Although this benefit may be somewhat unbearable for the Southern Huns today.

But Wanyan Wu Qimai believes that as long as the Southern Huns can survive this time, those lost will eventually be brought back again one day.

In desperation, Wanyan Aguda also accepted Wanyan Wu's idea of ​​begging to buy, and sent envoys to the imperial capital Luoyang and Li Xiang respectively.

Seeing that the envoys of the Southern Huns will arrive in a few days, Li Xiang now needs to discuss an idea as soon as possible to determine his position on this war.

"My lord, from the point of view of my subordinates, our army should attack the Southern Huns in this battle." After a long silence, Xun Yu finally cleared his mind and answered first.

"That's right, my lord. Judging from the fierceness, the only way for our army to attack the Southern Huns in this battle can guarantee our interests in Bingzhou." After Xun Yu, Wang Meng also put forward his own point of view.

When it comes to the overall outlook and strategic layout, Wang Meng and Xun Yu are the two most under Li Xiang's command.Therefore, when Wang Meng and Xun Yu uttered their voices, Li Xiang probably knew the answers of the others.

Now Li Xiang's intelligence is already 97 points high. Although he can't compare with Wang Meng and Xun Yu, both of them have given the answer. Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Xiang probably understands the reason for doing so.

"My lord, even if our army is willing to support the Southern Huns in this battle, the weakened Southern Huns will certainly not be able to withstand Genghis Khan's next attack. Therefore, since the Southern Huns will be destroyed sooner or later, it is better to seek sufficient benefits for our Bingzhou. "

After both Wang Meng and Xun Yu expressed their views, Wei Xiaokuan, not to be outdone, gave his own views.

The words are all here, and the interests of the three people to attack the Southern Huns are self-evident, the land of Hetao.

In the Western Han Dynasty, in 127 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing out of the clouds to defeat the two kings Loufan and Baiyang of the Huns, and occupied "Hejian", that is, Hetao.The minister Zhufu Yan Shangshu suggested building a city in Hetao to garrison fields and raise horses as a base for defense and attack against the Xiongnu.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted this suggestion and set up Shuofang County and Wuyuan County in that year.In 125 BC, Xihe County was established.The Hetao area even includes the former Yunzhong County and Dingxiang County, as well as the northern part of Beidi and Shangjun.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Huns who belonged to the Han Dynasty were placed in Hetao.However, as the Han Dynasty fell step by step, the Huns violated the Han Dynasty, and even gradually encroached on the three counties of Dingxiang, Yunzhong and Wuyuan.

And Li Xiang has always been ignorant of the three counties of Dingxiang, Yunzhong and Wuyuan that have not been conquered, but this time Li Xiang not only has the opportunity to recover these three counties, but also has the opportunity to conquer the entire Hetao area.

Moreover, "the Yellow River has all kinds of harm, but only one set of wealth".The surrounding area of ​​Hetao, including Huangshui River, Taoshui River, Luoshui River, Weishui River, Fenshui River, Sanggan River, Zhangshui River and Hutuo River, all have relatively good natural environmental conditions. They surround the Hetao The region, like the stars holding the moon, has pushed the Hetao civilization to the highest peak.Because of this, the Hetao area has always been known as "the south of the Yangtze River".

Thinking of this, Li Xiang found another reason to attack the Southern Huns. "Casting the south of the Yangtze River" has such a large production area, and with the potato seeds that Li Xiang has drawn before, the Bingzhou Army may not have to worry about the food problem for a long time in the future.

In this way, the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban captives that Li Xiang took advantage of during the Yellow Turban Rebellion had a better resettlement location.

In addition, the geographical location of the Hetao area is also very important.

For the Central Plains dynasty, controlling the Hetao could use the Yin Mountains as a barrier to resist threats from the northern nomads and ensure the safety of Guanzhong and the Central Plains.

For the northern nomads, occupying Hetao can be used as a base to go south to Guanzhong and compete in the Central Plains.Therefore, Hetao has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and it has also become the main place for exchanges and collisions between grassland peoples and Central Plains peoples, grassland culture and Yellow River culture.

With so many reasons, Li Xiang became more and more determined to attack the Southern Huns and seize the Hetao area.

At that time, Li Xiang will use the Yinshan Mountains as a line of defense, rejecting Temujin in the north, and vigorously develop agriculture in the south. After a few years, the Hetao area will be an important guarantee for Li Xiang to seize the world in the future.
