"Captain, secret message!"
In the grassland, a silk letter was delivered to Hu Shui all the way.
Since that day when he performed a play in Liaodong and deceived more than ten thousand Huns, he has been wandering between western Liaoning and the grassland with his Youyi army.
During this period, thousands of Han people were also kidnapped. Through the tribes on the grassland, he was handed over to the spy merchants, and they established contact with each other.
Opening the letter, Hu Shui had a smile on his face. The letter was written by Zhang Qi. In addition to explaining what You Yijun was going to do next, he also praised Hu Shui and gave Hu Shui a chance to absorb. The power of a soldier is promoted to a general.
After collecting the letter, Hu Shui carefully placed it in his arms, patted his chest, looked at a group of Youyi soldiers who were recuperating, and shouted loudly: "Let's go, boys, and go to the grass valley!"
"Ha ha."
There was a burst of laughter in the army, and everyone got on their horses. They had been with the sixth-generation horses for a long time. These soldiers cherished these horses very much. They had no choice but to use them so much.
Traveling across western Liaoning and the grasslands for more than a month, they had not suffered any casualties. This was all due to these sixth-generation horses. You must know that they are now dressed like grassland bandits, and their armor is only leather armor instead of the chainmail armor of the past.
The horses neighed, Hu Shui shouted loudly, and the entire You Yi army was really like a group of bandits heading towards Han Dynasty in a noisy manner.
This month, the Han people in the border areas have been in trouble. The grassland people in the border areas can enter the Han areas from all over the country, like an endless stream of locusts.
In the past, under the rule of Wenjing, there were few Kou border troops. Although the life of these Han people was hard, they could still live it. However, this year, due to the Mayi incident and Zhang Qi's behind-the-scenes actions, the entire grassland is constantly moving to the Han area. Influx.
The news has naturally been sent back to Chang'an long ago, but what can Liu Che do?
He could do nothing, and sending troops was of no avail. Apart from increasing losses, it did not help the Xiongnu's revenge at all.
This is the place where nomadic people are rogue. They will retreat when the Han army sends troops, and they will sweep in as soon as the Han army leaves.
The Han Dynasty had been established for more than seventy years, and they had already developed a mature method of robbery.
Otherwise, how could the Huns demand higher tributes every year? Back then, the Han people could send the Huns away just by giving them some food and wine.
But today, even tens of thousands of pieces of cloth and thousands of pounds of wine may not satisfy their appetite.
Weiyang Palace.
Liu Che sat on the throne, facing a letter asking for help from the border county, and his heart was calm.
He understood that this was the Huns' revenge against him, but this revenge was so violent that even the public had heard of the Huns' invasion.
As an emperor, although Liu Che was angry at the Huns' revenge, he was more happy that he had achieved his goal.
Bianjun's letters are top secret. How did everyone learn about the Koubian incident? This is not the information age, where news can spread all over the world in an instant.
The one who broke the news was naturally Liu Che himself. He wanted to use this act of Xiongnu to invade the border to boost the anger of the entire Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu. Only in this way can the war against the Xiongnu gain the support of everyone and become absolutely righteous and correct. !
This is a plan against the people. Against the officials, Wang Hui has already been imprisoned. Even Han Anguo, the leader of the peace faction, is now standing above the war faction.
Liu Che put aside the letter asking for help from the border commander. He was reading the dialogue between the former Emperor Wen and Jia Yi at night.
After looking at it for a long time, Liu Che sighed softly: "Jia Yi is a great talent, what a pity."
In the dialogue, Liu Che understood a lot, and gradually understood why his emperor would be so unforgettable about Jia Yi. One of the decisions in the dialogue was directed at the princes and kings. In Liu Che's opinion, with a little polish, the princes of the world could be silenced. And died.
Liu Che closed his eyes and an idea came to his mind. Then a light flashed in his eyes and he laughed.
"Jia Yi, Jia Yi, if it were for me, the world would be settled!"
"But now is not the time, just wait! And this plan should not come from me!"
After closing the discussion, Liu Che stood up from the throne, walked to where his sword was placed, picked up an embroidered handkerchief, took out the sword blade, and wiped it back and forth.
This is his habit, he likes to clean his sword whenever he is in a mood.
"What's going on over there with Wei Qing?!"
Cleaning his sword, Liu Che asked loudly.
"Reporting to the Emperor, no letter has been sent back from the Jianzhang Supervisor."
"Well, if there is a reply, please submit it to me as soon as possible!"
"Old slave understands."
The eunuch's voice was soft and his attitude was extremely humble.
——
"drive!"
"drive!"
The sound of horse hooves was thunderous, and there were cries everywhere.
After arriving in western Liaoning, Hu Shui naturally chose a lucky village to plunder as usual, but perhaps it was because there were too many invaders. There were no more than a hundred people in this village.
They are all old and weak.
But there is no way, even if you come, you can’t leave empty-handed.
More than a hundred old and weak people were quickly tied onto horses, and some livestock were taken away with them.
One village, two villages, every village is like this. It seems that Kou Bian has almost hollowed out Liaoxi, or more people have entered the county.
Anyway, in the countryside of western Liaoning, nine out of ten houses are empty.
"Captain, today's harvest is too small. There are only a dozen villages with only 500 people in total."
In the You Yi army, a song leader said to Hu Shui straightforwardly.
Looking at the old and weak, Hu Shui scratched his temples with a headache.
After a while, he hit the horse and said: "Let's go, let's do this for today. Find some grassland people and ask them what's going on in western Liaoning. Let's see where they are going next."
Soon, 600 horses, more than 1,000 sixth-generation horses, and less than 500 old and weak people left Liaoxi like the wind.
In the grassland, You Yijun quickly found a group of Huns who also returned to the grassland.
Approaching, Hu Shui asked after being nervously guarded by the other party: "Brother, are you also in Liaoxi today?"
The people on the grassland opposite nodded and looked nervously at these gangsters.
"There isn't much to gain in western Liaoning. Is there a good place for my brother?"
With that said, Hu Shui waved and asked someone to send him a jar of wine.
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. Seeing Hu Shui and the others acting like this, the prairie people on the opposite side became less wary and said: "Western Liaoning is originally a border county among border counties. These few months should be free. If you want to Before we do what we did before, we have to wait until the Han Dynasty emigrates people to the border."
After opening the seal of the wine, the prairie man took a big sip, and then opened the wine barrier in Shu Shuang's forehead: "If your tribe's food is not enough, then go to Youbeiping and go to Shangjun, there is plenty of wealth there!"
"If you don't want to run that far, then just wait. Wait half a month. Last time, the Liaodong side lost 10,000 prairie warriors. King Guli is gathering an army to go into Liaodong to explore the reality. If you also want to share something , then come to the tribe of King Zuogu Li to gather."
"Hahaha, thank you. I'll treat you to a drink next time we meet."
Hu Shui laughed loudly and then led You Yijun away.
On the way, Hu Shui's smiling face suddenly stopped, and he turned to a commander beside him and said: "Pick a group of cavalry and return to Wuhuan quickly to inform you!"
"promise!"
The music director solemnly accepted the order.
But what Hu Shui didn't know was that this news had already been sent back by the spy businessman, but even if Hu Shui knew it, he would definitely send it out, because the matter was too urgent and there was no room for luck.
