The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 234: Opening the Border and Expanding the Territory

In the southern border of the Xiongnu, the wise kings of the left and right led troops to station here to resist the invasion of the Han army.

One day, in the tent.

"King Zuoxian, there has indeed been a change in the south recently." King Youxian said with a vigilant look on his face.

Zuo Xianwang nodded slightly and replied: "Fortunately, we have expected that we will set up troops and horses here to block the key passes. Even if the Han army wants to attack the Xiongnu, it is impossible."

King Zuoxian still had great confidence in himself and his army, and they had already set up defenses on critical roads, not giving the Han army a chance to make a surprise attack.

King You Xian frowned, said with a wry smile: "I don't know why today, my brows are jumping non-stop, I always feel like something important is about to happen, I don't know if I am overthinking."

Zuo Xianwang was also a little puzzled and said: "Speaking of it, I also feel quite uneasy. What happened, is there any accident?"

The two thought hard, but they had no clue for a while. They never imagined that the Han army would enter directly from Xianbei and attack the royal court.

At this moment, the two commanded 14 troops each, adding up to 20 troops, including the army in the royal court, nearly [-] troops. This is all the property of the Xiongnu.

Xianbei's loss of 20 troops is a bit shattered, but it will not be crippled by it. If the Huns lose 20 troops, they may no longer be able to resist.

King Zuo Xian shook his head and explained: "Don't think too much, we need to guard this place well, don't let the Han army take advantage of it, this time, the Han army may come here with bad intentions!"

King Zuo Xian was also a little dignified, he stretched out his hand, made a helpless expression, and said, "Could it be another catastrophe for me, the Huns?"

……

"My lord, there is a large group of Xiongnu troops stationed ahead." Dong Zhuo led the army and had already reached the northwest border of the Han Dynasty, which is close to the southern part of the Xiongnu.

A scout came back to report the news.

"Wen You, what do you think?" After receiving Chen Ran's order, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru discussed, and then mobilized [-] elite cavalry troops and marched towards the south of the Xiongnu.

Li Ru was standing beside Dong Zhuo at the moment, and said with a slight smile, "The Xiongnu really set up their front line in the south, trying to resist the Han army. I am afraid that Chen Cheqi has already led the army at this moment, and they have killed the Huns' king's court!"

Li Ru sighed a little, he really admired Chen Ran's courage.

Dong Zhuo nodded lightly. Before he sent troops, he had asked Li Ru whether to send troops, and how to send troops, whether to try his best or use soy sauce.

Li Ru's answer was in the affirmative, so Dong Zhuo mobilized the most elite [-] Xiliang iron cavalry under his command, which was really costly.

In Li Ru's view, Chen Ran had already laid out the overall situation. As for Dong Zhuo, sending troops was just to capture the land of the Xiongnu more conveniently.Such a great opportunity can not only become famous, but also does not require much effort.

Dong Zhuo understood that the army was already in place at this moment, so it was up to him to see what happened next.

"Since the Huns have already entered the southern border of Chen Jun, what should we do next?" Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru with a calm face.

Without any hesitation, Li Ru replied briefly, "Wait and see what happens, don't act rashly."

Dong Zhuo frowned, and asked in a cold voice: "This time, I came here for the sake of fame and merit, to expand the territory, if it continues like this, is it too much?"

Li Ru smiled when he heard this, and explained to Dong Zhuo: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The Huns here have more troops than us. Of course they want to fight, but it is not at this moment. We need to wait for news from Chen Cheqi before going out to fight. Only then can we achieve miraculous results. "

"If we can really defeat the Xiongnu, my lord's prestige in Liangzhou will be unmatched in the future. Wouldn't Liangzhou be my lord's back garden in the future?" Li Ru smiled slightly, thinking deeply, but looked a little gloomy.

Dong Zhuo nodded in satisfaction, but then asked: "How is Chen Cheqi?"

Li Ru replied with a smile: "Chen Cheqi is certainly powerful, but why would Chen Cheqi be in Liangzhou?"

Yes, no matter how much prestige Chen Ran has in Liangzhou, how could Chen Ran be in such a remote place as Liangzhou?

No matter how great the prestige is, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, how can he interfere?On the contrary, Dong Zhuo, the land snake, will be the biggest beneficiary of Liangzhou.

The Han and the Huns were feuds, and Liangzhou was the hardest-hit area of ​​conflict with the Huns.If the Xiongnu were really wiped out, wouldn't the people of Liangzhou be grateful?
……

At the same time, Chen Ran has already led the army, heading towards the south of the Xiongnu.

Naturally, Chen Ran's target at this moment is not the Huns. The left and right sages command an army of over [-] troops.

While marching, Chen Ran sent someone to send a letter to Dong Zhuo's army to discuss the matter of joining forces.

……

After a few days, King Zuo Xian finally got the news that some fleeing defeated soldiers rushed to the Xiongnu camp.

"How is it possible?" King Zuo Xian said in disbelief with a bewildered expression.

King You Xian also frowned, looking extremely conflicted, and muttered in his mouth: "The royal court has been breached? The royal family has lost all their lives and injuries!"

"The Han army is really ruthless, and they came directly from Xianbei. Now that the royal court has been broken and Shan Yu is dead? What should I do next?" The incident happened so suddenly that Zuo Xianwang was caught off guard.

King Youxian sighed and said, "Let's take a step and watch! Or... withdraw first!"

However, King Zuo Xian's face changed, and he said solemnly: "We have 14 elites under our command, how can we give up like this? If we deal with the Han army, how can we not have the power to fight?"

The two disagreed, but fortunately, the two remained rational.Not because Shan Yu is dead is to tear his face and fight for power and profit.They still clearly realize that no matter whether it is fighting or fleeing, it is not the strength of one person.

After some discussion, the two decided to wait and see the changes first, and observe the changes of the Han army. If the Han army didn't arrive, they would lose their courage first.

If the Han army is really strong and unable to match, it will not be too late to evacuate at that time.

It's a pity that they don't know what results their decision today will bring them!
……

Chen Ran's letter was quickly delivered to Dong Zhuo's army.

Dong Zhuo inspected it, then smiled at Li Ru and said, "Chen Cheqi has received news. Attack from both sides, and we will defeat the Xiongnu together!"

Li Ru also read it again, but calmly, with a predictable expression, he replied: "It seems that Chen Cheqi is ready. When the time comes, the Lord will send troops first to lure the enemy army, and then join Chen Cheqi's army. We will definitely be able to defeat this Xiongnu army in one fell swoop."

Normally, Dong Zhuo would never be the first to go, but at this moment, Dong Zhuo nodded slightly without objection.

Although he had to pay a considerable price this time, the rewards would definitely be unprecedented.

Every minister who can expand the territory is a person of great prestige.Dong Zhuo sent troops first to create an opportunity for Chen Ran, only to have him a piece of the pie in the future.

Dong Zhuo is not stupid, on the contrary, at this moment he can see clearly, so he will agree.
