Qiang Qin

Although Zhang Han brought his troops back to Yanmen County on the border because it was not suitable for stationing troops on the grassland in winter, he still made preparations when he left. Ordinary herdsmen listened to the news on the grassland, and then passed the news to Xianyang with pigeons, and it was up to the emperor to decide how to deal with the Huns.

Ever since his son Zidu Anran came back, Peng Hong has become more energetic, and he is more concerned about intelligence work every day.Today was no exception, he rushed to the palace immediately after receiving the information from his subordinates from the north.This was ordered by Fusu a long time ago. The intelligence in the north is related to the military, so there should be no delay.

When Fusu took over the silk scroll, he was having breakfast, seeing Peng Hong standing beside him, he asked him to sit down and eat together.After Peng Hong resigned to no avail, he sat down gratefully and ate the millet porridge.As an emperor, Fusu is not extravagant, just because he has eaten food that is more delicious than all the food in this era before traveling to this era, and in this historical era when Qin and Han intersected, he had no concept of food , so Fusu kept everything simple.While drinking the millet porridge in front of him, Fusu asked: "Peng Hong, how is Zidu doing recently?"

Peng Hong hurriedly put the bowls in his hands on the table, and said respectfully: "The emperor misses him a lot. After this period of recuperation, he has fully recovered. He often said that he would do more meritorious service for the emperor and beat the Xiongnu People are cut off."

After Zidu returned to Xianyang, Fusu ordered him and the other soldiers who returned with him to rest for a period of time, but the salary was a lot, in order to reward those who almost died.Hearing these words now, a smile appeared on Fusu's face: "As expected of the son of your Peng family, you only want to kill the enemy for the country, and I did not misunderstand him. But now it is not that he is going to fight for me. Let him take a good rest at home, he is also tired after a year away." While speaking, Fusu drank the porridge, then picked up the information and read it.

After looking at it for a while, the smile on Fusu's face became even wider. He tapped the cases in front of him lightly with his hand, and said with a smile, "God helped me, Daqin. Unexpectedly, the Huns are still in civil strife at this time." Seeing the bewildered look on Peng Hong's face, he explained, "The news said that because Maodun died at the hands of those leaders who were dissatisfied with him, some of Maodun's cronies who survived all the way hated him. Finally, more than ten days ago, regardless of the fact that they were already remnants of soldiers, regardless of the unfavorable weather for combat, and regardless of how much damage this war would do to the Huns, they brazenly launched an attack on those leaders."

Peng Hongdao: "I remember that this happened a long time ago. The scouts who rushed from the north that day brought this news. Why is the emperor happier now than before?"

"If it was just a battle between these two armies, I wouldn't be so happy." Fusu said with a smile, "But what happened next will make me unhappy. Those leaders' troops were suddenly attacked by those troops." The passers-by were defeated, and on the way to defeat, they continued to gather people from their own tribes. In addition, those tribes that had always harbored hatred for Maodun also joined their camp. The strength of the army greatly surpassed those who wanted to avenge Maodun. When the two armies fought again, the mourning soldiers lost their previous momentum, and finally the two armies killed a tie. I didn't go to war because of my scruples, but the Huns can no longer unite together. That's why I'm so happy."

Peng Hong also laughed and said: "So that's the case, now these Huns have finally tasted the pain."

Fusu continued: "There is another piece of good news here, that is, the Yuezhi people wanted to take advantage of the Xiongnu's civil strife to enter the grassland. But after that war, the Yuezhi people suffered serious losses. In the end, they even The Xiongnu's coalition army composed of various tribes was unable to defeat them, and after losing thousands of people, they retreated back to the Yuezhi's country, so there is no way for them to take any action in a short time."

Peng Hong was a little puzzled again, and asked: "What does the emperor mean by this? Aren't the Yuezhi people our allies, why do you think it's a good thing to hear that they defeated the emperor?"

Fusu said: "The people on the grassland, whether it's the Xiongnu or the Yue clan, they all have the heart to covet my property in the Central Plains. The reason why the Yue clan is not like this now is because their strength is not enough. If we let them take the Xiongnu and replace them now, and if there are no internal conflicts among them, the Yuezhi people on the grassland will not be the Huns before, and the damage to our Central Plains will definitely not be small. So from the beginning When the Yuezhi people joined forces, I had already made up my mind to use the hands of the Huns to deal with the Yuezhi people, completely weaken them, and make them unable to compete with me in the Central Plains. Now it seems that my idea has succeeded After this defeat, those Yuezhi people tried their best to go abroad again. From then on, they could only stay in the small land of Yuezhi. And judging from the news brought by Zidu that day, Yuezhi The people are also fighting each other, and the competition between the various Wenghou also happens from time to time. In this way, it will be even more difficult for them to regain their strength. In this way, the Xiongnu will not be afraid, and the Yuezhi will not be able to treat me in the Central Plains. If there is a threat, my Daqin will be able to develop safely from now on."

"So that's how it is." Peng Hong didn't realize it until this time, but then he asked another question, "Your Majesty, although the Huns are no longer a concern, they still have a lot of cavalry after all. If I, Daqin, take advantage of them now When the civil strife persists and we join them again, I think the Xiongnu will be wiped out by us."

Fusu took a look at him: "Your thinking actually coincides with what Zhang Han said. The reason he rushed to send this news to Xianyang this time is to let me order him to send troops to the Huns so that the enemy can be wiped out in one fell swoop. .But you, like him, have overlooked one thing."

"what's up?"

"That is, whether it is the coalition forces of various tribes or those who want to avenge Modu, they are actually like the Huns. Just like two brothers in a family will quarrel, they cannot avoid a big war, but once foreign enemies appear, The two brothers are bound to join hands again to deal with outsiders, and as soon as our Great Qin sends troops, we will become their common enemy. At that time, they may join forces to fight against my Great Qin's troops. Although we I'm not afraid of them, but why should the soldiers sacrifice there for nothing? So I think it's better to wait and see how things change."

"Your Majesty is indeed wise, I never thought of this." Peng Hong said sincerely.

Fu Su just smiled. He also got this method from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Cao Cao used this trick to make Yuan Shao's last two sons die at the hands of others.Although this may not be a real thing, there is nothing wrong with thinking about it now.After saying this, Fusu looked at the sky and said, "Okay, Chen Ping and others will come to the palace to discuss some political affairs with me later, so you can go out first." While talking, he took a piece of silk and wrote He wrote a few words, stamped the jade seal on it, and handed it to Peng Hong, "Send this to Yanmen, and let Zhang Han act accordingly."

When Zhang Han sent the news of the expanding Xiongnu civil strife to Xianyang, he began to mobilize his troops, thinking that once Fusu gave an order, he could send troops to the grassland. At that time, all previous defeats would be obliterated, and he could still get the promise of destroying the Xiongnu. great merit.And the other general, Long Qie, also thought that he could make the greatest contribution, and since then he has his own place among all the generals of Qin State.Full of hope in their hearts, the two just waited for Fusu's order to send troops to come.

In their minds, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Huns have already been defeated repeatedly, and now there are continuous civil strife. As long as the Daqin troops arrive, they will definitely lose their fighting spirit and be defeated for thousands of miles.But after waiting, what they waited for was a piece of news that was beyond everyone's expectations.

When they saw this piece of silk specially used for the emperor, the two were a little excited and opened it carefully, and then they saw a few words on it, which read: "Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"

Although there were only five words, Zhang Han and Zhang Han understood the meaning of Fusu, which meant that they should not act rashly and just watch in Yanmen County.At this moment, the two were completely dumbfounded. They never expected such a decree to come, but since the emperor had already sent a message, the two generals could no longer disobey the decree and send troops to the grassland.The two of Nai could only gather back the people who were already ready to move, and then according to Fusu's intention, sent a lot of scouts to investigate the situation in the grassland.

The next news I got was that the coalition defeated the opponent today, and the opponent counterattacked and defeated the coalition tomorrow.Seeing the Huns constantly losing their troops, Zhang Han was even more anxious to send troops to the grassland, but he couldn't.What he regrets the most now is that he asked Fusu what he meant. He knew that it would be better to send troops to the grassland without the Emperor Ming. up.

Although Zhang Han was very disappointed by this, the strategy of Fusu was still successful. The two groups of Huns still had reservations when they started fighting, fearing that the Qin people would suddenly appear and be harmful to them, but later, with The hatred between the two sides deepened, and after the Qin army showed no sign of sending troops, they could no longer continue to preserve their strength, and the largest battle began. The two sides invested nearly [-] troops. The most people that can be called together.
