Seeing everyone came as promised.Ye Ke was very happy, and he saluted these people before saying: "Thank you, leaders, for coming to our place. The current situation is very bad for us. I think you all know that some of our allied tribes have been attacked. The casualties of a group of cavalry raids. Now I can tell you that these cavalry were all sent by Modu. His purpose was to make us fear him, so that he would finally give up competing with him on the grassland and become his attached."

Among the leaders, those who had already guessed did not behave very well, but those who had no idea let out a cry of surprise, and then kept cursing Modu, saying that he was too ambitious.After everyone scolded for a while and vented their dissatisfaction, Ye Ke continued: "The tribes on my grassland are all yearning for freedom. Although sometimes they unite for some reason, everyone always has something to say. My own idea, but Na Modu wants to use his military force to threaten everyone to only listen to him from now on, and turn our Xiongnu grassland into a grassland for him alone, do you think we can agree?"

Hearing Ye Ke's provocative words, some reckless leaders shouted loudly: "I can't agree, I can't agree!" With their shouts, the passion in the hearts of some people who wanted to wait and see was also ignited, and they He also yelled loudly: "I can't agree, I can't agree!" For a while, the whole big tent was filled with the words "I can't agree."

Seeing that everyone was incited by his words, Ye Ke showed a satisfied smile, and after everyone quieted down, he said: "But if we want to fight against Mao Dun, we must unite together, otherwise we will only use our own The strength of the people will only end up in the same way as the few tribes that were attacked. To unite is not just to send an emissary to inform each other as in the past, but to gather everyone together and then rectify the troops. I wonder if you would like it?"

The leaders were stunned when they heard this. They knew very well that if Yeke said what he said, they would become his subordinates. How would it be different from surrendering to Maodun?Seeing that everyone was silent, Ye Ke became a little anxious. He also knew that it would be difficult to persuade these people to stand with him completely, but unexpectedly, he was unable to persuade them at all just at the beginning. .At this time, one of the leaders asked: "Leader Yeke, what do you mean by gathering together? Could it be that we are combining several tribes into one big tribe?"

After hearing this question, Ye Ke realized that these people were afraid of losing their leader status, so he couldn't help yelling at them in his heart. He couldn't even keep his own tribe and only thought about his status, but what he said was Said: "This is just uniting in the use of troops. Once we defeat and annihilate Modun and the others, we will still be divided into small tribes one by one. This is a tradition that has been on our grassland for hundreds of years. And during this period, your tribe All the big and small things in the game are still decided by yourself, except for the war, it is still the same as before."

Those leaders said: "Then we agree with the suggestion of the leader Yeke, and the Datu tribe is the most powerful tribe among us, so let you take the position of leader." Yeke knew in his heart that they would Let yourself be the leader, and at this time, you are not humble, and you agree with it.

After the meeting was over, Ye Ke, who couldn't help but be overjoyed, ordered the people to bring up the prepared wine, cattle and sheep. For a while, everyone ate meat in large pieces and drank in large bowls, feeling very happy.

A few days later, Ye Ke had brought together dozens of tribesmen and horses, a total of 8 people, and then he took these 8 people to raid a small village that was very close to Modun. The tribe killed all the herdsmen among them and officially declared war on Modu.

When Mao Dun received the news, he was overjoyed and said: "Okay! He Ye Ke finally couldn't help but take the lead. Immediately let the tribe loyal to me send all the horses to me, and I will send this The Dadu Department, who has been refusing to submit to me, disappeared on the grassland."

Three days after the order was issued, more than 3 Huns cavalry had already arrived in front of the big tent of Maodun's Shanyu.So Maodun ordered Baiban to lead 1 horses as the vanguard, Wutu led 6 horses to stay in the tent, and he himself led the remaining [-] horses to follow Baiban and march westward, and the storm on the grassland officially began.

During the battle between the two sides, homing pigeons flew up from the humble tents to Xianyang.

When Fusu received the news, the spirit of spring was already strong, and Fusu was also planning to send a team to the edge of the grassland as the vanguard of his army.When he heard the news, Fusu immediately changed his original plan and ordered Zhang Han to rush to the edge of the grassland with 3 horses. Be able to notice the movement of your own army and be ready to lure them to attack.

Then people from all over the place began to mobilize and headed north one after another, but at the same time, Fusu secretly sent Han Xin to Hanoi County, ready to meet the Chu people's attack at any time.When everything was ready, Fusu had the leisure to carefully observe the two sides fighting on the grassland.

Based on the specific situation obtained by the spies on the grassland, Fusu ordered people to draw a very detailed map of the grassland forces. At this time, the cloth and silk map is full of the movements of the two sides and the distribution of troops. .Fusu pointed to one of them and said: "It seems that the Datu Department is still unable to compete with Maodu. Just looking at the troops, Maodu has 10 to [-] people more than him, and Maodu's own troops accounted for [-] people. Half of them should be far better than the newly formed Yeke coalition army in terms of coordination."

Zhang Liang went on to say: "Yes, and judging from the places where they dispatched troops and the places they controlled, that Maodun also had a great advantage. After all, Dadu's disadvantage was just emerging, so he was able to contact The tribes can only be those around him, and those farther away cannot be completely controlled. In this way, he can only advance from west to east, but Modu and the others can divide their troops to attack them from several directions. This war has no The conclusion has already been drawn.”

Chen Ping has a different opinion: "The Emperor and Master Zhang are only talking about the situation we can see now, but I think that the Dadu Department still has some advantages. For example, Mao Dun dare not attack Dadu with all his strength. After all, they I was afraid that we would send troops to help Ye Ke. They knew about our relationship with Ye Ke. Moreover, I also knew that the Xiongnu tribe in the west of the grassland were extremely powerful people. Because they lived in a cold and difficult location, they People who are fighting are even more fearless in battle. Therefore, if the two armies meet, it will be really difficult to win the battle."

Fu Su said with a smile: "It doesn't matter to us who wins and who loses. The loser will lose his entire army and family, but the winner will not have much to gain. Although there will be no more enemies on the Xiongnu grassland from now on, their troops will also be greatly reduced, and they will no longer dare to easily use troops against us in the Central Plains."

Zhang Liang also echoed with a smile: "In this way, we will have enough time to unify the Central Plains first and wipe out the Chu State. And this time, if our strategy of luring snakes out of their holes is successful, the people of Chu will suffer greatly." blow."

Fusu also burst out laughing when he heard the words. He knew that the next year would be a year of confrontation with the Chu people, and he would use his best state to deal with this last enemy in the Central Plains.

The news of the Qin State's frequent mobilization of troops was soon heard by the spies of the Chu State, and they immediately passed the news to Kuaiji, the capital of the present Chu State.At this time, the state of Chu has made considerable progress after more than half a year of recuperation, especially after taking down the land of the state of Qi, the wealth of the state of Chu has more than doubled out of thin air.Although the state of Qi is not comparable to Chu and Qin in terms of combat power, they are very rich because of their geographical advantage, but now they are taking advantage of the people of Chu.

The new army is constantly being added to the army, and the strength of the Chu army is also constantly being strengthened. Today, the Chu State already has [-] to [-] troops, coupled with sufficient food reserves and abundant money, Xiang Yu has once again emerged. The plan to enter the Central Plains.But Fan Zeng tried to persuade Xiang Yu that the current military strength of the Chu State is still not comparable to that of the Great Qin that controls the Central Plains, and Fusu is also a generation of Mingjun. Under his governance, the national strength of the Qin State is also thriving. Because of Fusu's series of benevolent policies, it disappeared.This made it impossible for Chu State to attack Qin State, so Fan Zeng kept persuading Xiang Yu to let him wait for the opportunity to come.Xiang Yu also began to trust Fan Zeng's ability after several incidents. Seeing that he had never agreed with him to send troops easily, he had to follow him, and it would not be too late for him to send troops after the war between Qin and Xiongnu broke out.

Opportunities arose this spring. When he heard that many people in Qin State had been transferred to the edge of the grassland, Xiang Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that Fusu finally couldn't bear The Huns have been provoking and sent troops, this is really a great opportunity for us."

But Fan Zeng still couldn't believe that this opportunity would really come so timely. He said: "Overlord, in my opinion, this may be a plot by the Qin people to send troops because of us. If my King Qin, even if he wants to send troops to the grassland There will be no such big commotion. He should know that our country of Chu is also waiting for the emptiness in their country, so they can send troops to attack. But they moved [-]% of the country's troops to the north, making them all in the south. The gates of the county are open, which is completely inconsistent with the usual style of the Qin people. Therefore, in my opinion, we should wait until the Qin people really fight the Huns, and it will not be too late for us to send troops."
