After the war letter arrived at Yucheng City, King Yu Cheng received the war letter and directly led the 30,000 most elite troops of Dayuan Kingdom to Ershi City, heading straight for Huo Guang and others.
soon.
The Second Division City will be attacked by troops.
Whenever a war breaks out between two countries, there will basically be three types of people: the warring faction, the peace-promoting faction, and the surrender-promoting faction.
Not to mention Dawan Kingdom.
Even in the Han Dynasty, under the leadership of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the "strong Han" empire, which even fought against the Xiongnu to retreat, had a faction that advocated peace.
For example, Deng Guang and others.
Even because he tried his best to dissuade Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty from conquering the Dawan Kingdom, he offended Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che and was directly imprisoned in imperial prison.
There isn't much else in Chang'an, but the imperial prison cells where ministers are imprisoned are enough!
certainly.
These are all beside the point.
relatively.
The Han Dynasty could have ministers like Deng Guang who tried their best to dissuade Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty from launching a war against the Dawan Kingdom.
So!
Dawan is a small country.
Within it, there are naturally indispensable nobles who have surrendered.
The nobleman in Dawan who was closest to the Han Dynasty was called Mocai. From the beginning of the war, this person mediated the war between the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.
If not for him.
The remaining four thousand men and horses of the Han army at this moment have probably escaped from Ershi City long ago.
How could Li Guangli be given the guts to continue wandering around here?
nowadays.
As Huo Guang issued a letter of war, Namocai had to come over to persuade the Han army and the Dawan army to end the war.
No.
He came to Ershi City, met Huo Guang, and asked in a humble manner: "May I ask who you are? The person in charge of the Han army was not General Li Guangli. Where is he now?"
As a pro-Han Dawan noble, Mo Cai naturally knew the language of the Han Dynasty.
now.
He was speaking fluent Chinese and communicating with Huo Guang.
Huo Guang stood on the city gate tower and looked at the dark Dawan army in the distance. He was not too surprised.
In the battle between Han and Hungary, the number of troops used by the Han Dynasty alone was enough to reach 100,000!
and.
And that's just the cavalry.
In addition to the infantry, civilians, etc. responsible for transporting supplies, the number is by no means less than two to three hundred thousand.
so.
For Huo Guang, the Dawan Dynasty's mere 30,000 soldiers and horses did not create a sense of oppression.
At this moment.
Huo Guang withdrew his gaze from the distance, looked at Mo Cai, and said: "Li Guangli's battle failed. Your Majesty is extremely disappointed with him, so he appointed this general to deal with him and take over his position as the main general in the conquest of Dawan."
"You are a noble of the Dawan Kingdom. Now the two armies are fighting. Why are you here?"
"Is it possible to spy on military intelligence?"
After hearing Huo Guang's words, Mo Cai said, "So that's it."
"General, please listen to me."
"The Han Dynasty is powerful, and Mo Cai knows very well that Dawan cannot compete with him. This time the Han army is just a few soldiers and horses. If the Han Dynasty is really angered, we, Dawan, will no longer exist!"
"But right now."
"I see that the general has only 4,000 soldiers available in the Second Division City. They all look shabby and exhausted. It is really beyond the capabilities of King Yu Cheng's 30,000 elite soldiers."
"And King Yu Cheng's army is the most elite division of our Dawan Kingdom."
"I hope the general will think twice and lead his troops to withdraw from the Dawan border. I will wait for me, Mo Cai, to persuade the king of Dawan and apologize to the Han. It would be better for both sides to end the war than to lose lives!"
Are the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom here to persuade Huo Guang to retreat?
such a pity!
This guy doesn't know Huo Guang's situation.
If he really retreated with his troops and returned to Chang'an in the future, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would definitely punish himself severely due to his temper.
and.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent himself to replace Li Guangli, didn't he just hope that he would lead his troops to victory?
so.
It is absolutely impossible for him to retreat.
Regarding the words of Mo Cai.
Huo Guang smiled disdainfully and said, "A mere 30,000 barbarian soldiers dare to compare with my 4,000 elite men?"
"snort!"
"If this general can't deal with you, there's no need to go back!"
When Mo Cai heard this, his eyes suddenly showed surprise, and he said: "The general's surname is Huo? I heard that there was a general Huo in the Han Dynasty, who was named a champion. May I ask what his relationship is with you?"
When Huo Guang heard this, he glanced at Mo Cai and said, "Oh, I didn't expect that in this remote place, you would have heard of my brother's name."
Mo Cai then raised his hand and said: "Of course, of course, Mo Cai has always been influenced by the culture of the Han Dynasty, and he should know the style of the champion."
"No wonder I saw the general's youthful demeanor and dignified appearance. He turned out to be the younger brother of the champion."
"It's presumptuous."
"Since General Huo is the younger brother of the champion, his military ability must be no less than that of your brother, the champion."
"But Mocai is from Dawan after all. He was born in Dawan and grew up in Dawan."
"If the general can understand Mo Cai's mood, he will understand that I don't want Dawan to conflict with Dahan."
"Meicai also knows very well that Dawan is definitely no match for the Han Dynasty. This is a small test of his skill."
"So I ask General Huo to raise his noble hand and give Wan a way out."
Mo Cai's remarks can be described as extremely humble.
Current situation.
It was clearly King Yu Cheng of Dawan who had the advantage. After all, Huo Guang's available troops now, excluding the sick and disabled, were less than 4,000 men.
And King Yu Cheng had thirty thousand elite soldiers and generals.
With such a mysterious power gap, Mo Cai still begged Huo Guang for mercy? Haha, if the people of Dawan find out, they will definitely call him a Dawan spy!
But there is one thing to say.
Mo Cai's behavior is correct again.
With the national strength and population base of the Dawan Kingdom, it is indeed not comparable to the Han Dynasty.
in history.
After Li Guangli, the original general of the Second Division, defeated Yu Chengcheng for the first time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty prepared frantically for the war in the next few years. He mobilized the country's bad boys and criminals in prisons, trained soldiers, and forged sophisticated weapons to conquer Dawan again. .
that time!
Don't say that there is no grass growing in the land where the Han army passed.
But he did it, and all the dogs passing by were slapped twice, and all the eggs were shaken by him.
so.
Although Mocai licked the Han Dynasty, as far as his actions were concerned, he was indeed saving Dawan from the danger of annihilation.
After thinking for a while, Huo Guang looked at the dust rising in the distance because King Yu Cheng's 30,000 elite soldiers were marching in, and then looked up at the scorching sun high in the sky.
So he asked Mo Cai: "Mo Cai, what time do you think it is now?"
Mo Cai was overwhelmed by Huo Guang's sudden words. He also looked up at the sun. The strong sunlight almost blinded his eyes. Then he lowered his head and said, "General Huo, it's noon now."
I heard what Mo Cai said.
Huo Guang nodded again and asked, "What is the direction of Ershi City relative to Yu Chengcheng?"
Mo Cai still didn't understand what Huo Guang meant. After thinking about it for a while, he still replied: "Towards the southwest!"
"Oh." Huo Guang nodded and said: "By the way, Mo Cai, you are here to persuade the Han army to reconcile with King Yu Cheng, right? So may I ask, do you have the right to speak? Furthermore, what you said, Will King Yu Cheng listen?"
Hear this.
Mo Cai was suddenly embarrassed.
It is true that he is a nobleman of Dawan, but he does not have much power!
King Yu Cheng controls the most powerful army in Dawan and is the real leader of Dawan.
It can be said.
Even the king of Dawan, Wu Wu, does not have the right to speak as King Yu Cheng!
But fortunately, King Yu Cheng had no intention of rebellion.
Seeing that Mo Cai was silent, Huo Guang immediately understood the other party's situation, then grinned and said: "Okay, I understand."
"so!"
"Go and talk to King Yu Cheng. I, the general, have always admired outstanding people. Although we are enemies at this time, it does not prevent me from having a drink with him and talking about heroes!"
"Do you think he is willing?"
When Mo Cai heard this, he did not realize Huo Guang's true intention. He thought that the peace talks were going to be successful, and a smile immediately appeared on his face and said: "Okay, okay, Mo Cai will go and talk to King Yu Cheng now!"
Huo Guang nodded and said, "Go."
The words fell.
I saw Mo Cai immediately walking down the city gate happily, and then taking a few people who came with him as lobbyists, they left Ershi City and headed toward the troops led by King Yu Cheng who were already arrayed outside the city. Walk away.
Although it was true that Mocai had no power, as a nobleman of the capital of Dawan, King Yu Cheng still treated him somewhat lightly.
After some conversation.
King Yu Cheng immediately agreed to his request.
then.
Mo Cai ran back happily and informed Huo Guang of the matter.
Huo Guang immediately sent people out of the city and built a temporary pavilion in front of King Yu Cheng's army.
Subsequently.
He also asked people to put out the few drinks in Ershi City.
So far.
Huo Guang and King Dawan Yucheng, who had killed the Han army and abandoned his armor, finally met for the first time.
Since Dayuan is far away from the Han Dynasty, it can be clearly seen that there is a big difference between the appearance of King Yu Cheng and the Han people.
When Huo Guang saw King Yu Cheng, without saying a word, he poured the wine first, and then said: "General, I always like to make friends with outstanding people. Although you killed my former subordinate Colonel Lin Yaoqing, I am still willing to let go of my hatred." .”
"If the general wishes!"
"I may consider taking my troops and horses to withdraw from the Second Division City."
After saying this, the Dawan nobleman Mo Cai standing on the side looked happy. He immediately translated what Huo Guang said from Chinese into Dawan language and told it to King Yu Cheng.
However.
After hearing this, King Yu Cheng shook his head disdainfully and said, "Who is Lin Yaoqing? I don't know! In that battle that day, my men killed countless Han people. I don't know who the rat you are talking about is!"
As soon as these words came out.
The first person whose expression changed was not Huo Guang, but Mo Cai.
because.
Huo Guang couldn't understand Dawan's language.
Seeing that Mo Cai looked ugly, he did not translate.
Huo Guang guessed that King Yu Cheng didn't say anything nice, so he said immediately: "Micai, you don't need to think about how to modify it, just repeat what King Yu Cheng meant, but it doesn't matter."
I heard it.
He had no choice but to repeat what King Yu Cheng said.
After hearing this, Huo Guang sneered, his expression unmoved, and even drank a glass of wine contentedly, and then said: "As far as I know, Dawan has very little land, with a population of only 400,000, and the south is even more affected by the Yuezhi. oppression!"
"Your king is no more than a man of ease and enjoyment."
"Why don't I give you a helping hand to help you overthrow the original rule and establish yourself as king in Dawan."
"Then New Dayuan will form an alliance with the Han Dynasty, defeat the Dayue clan, expand the territory of Dayuan, and lay down a large territory for your descendants, so that they will not be oppressed by the Dayue clan."
"what do you think?"
When Mo Cai heard this, his face immediately showed joy.
Nothing else.
It's just that what Huo Guang said coincided with the thoughts of the pro-Han Dawan noble.
Immediately.
Then he translated his words completely to King Yu Cheng.
However.
King Yu Cheng, who had not drank a drop of wine from beginning to end, smashed his wine glass on the ground after listening to Mo Cai's translation, and then said angrily: "Although I do not learn from your Han Dynasty culture, I have heard that you Han people have always Pay attention to the way of loyalty!"
"Hmm."
"You came in front of me to stir up trouble?"
"Tell you."
"I am loyal to the king. If the Han Dynasty wants to start a war, then fight. If you don't fight, go back to the east."
When Mo Cai heard this, he immediately showed a shocked expression.
even.
Without even translating the meaning of his words to Huo Guang, he directly persuaded King Yu Cheng: "King Yu Cheng, don't say that!"
"Do you know who the Han general in front of you is?"
"This is the younger brother of Huo Qubing, the Great Sima Huo Qubing, the hussar general of the Han Dynasty."
"It's better not to fight this battle. If we win, even if we let Huo Guang go back, his brother Huo Qubing will definitely lead an army to attack him."
"That's when."
"We, Dawan, will no longer exist!"
However.
King Yu Cheng ignored Mo Cai's persuasion and pushed him away.
Subsequently.
He slapped the food table with both hands angrily, leaned forward slightly towards Huo Guang, and glared at Huo Guang.
A few sentences in slightly broken Chinese came out of his mouth.
"I don't care who you are, but I'm telling you, you Han people don't have any generals who know how to fight. You just use more people to bully less people."
"If I were you, my king."
"When there are four thousand against thirty thousand, one must block eight. We should use a hasty battle to dampen their spirit and attack their arrogance."
"Now that your army has been trapped in Ershi City for many days, with insufficient food and grass, you should be worried!"
"Do you know how this king will lead 30,000 elite soldiers to defeat you?"
"Our army will have a superior force and sufficient food and grass. We will surround the Second Division City and be trapped but not attack. When your food and grass are exhausted, there will be chaos within it and it will destroy itself without taking action."
Good guy.
Just now, he said that he did not want to learn Chinese culture, but in this moment, he spoke Chinese language again. It was really strange.
When King Yu Cheng spoke Chinese in his mouth.
Not only Huo Guang was confused, but also Mo Cai, who was a Dawan noble.
I heard Mo Cai hesitate and say: "King Yu Cheng, when did you learn the Chinese language?"
King Yu Cheng glared at Mo Cai, and then continued in broken Chinese: "Don't the Han people like to say that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in a hundred battles. I have already guessed that when the Xiongnu disaster is over, the Han people in the East will definitely point their swords at Dawan, and I have been on guard for a long time. !”
As soon as these words came out.
Huo Guang immediately clapped his hands and said: "Hahaha, King Yu Cheng is really powerful, so Li Guangli was defeated by you, it is not unfair!"
The words fell.
Huo Guang also stood up and said, "In this case, there is no need to continue talking."
"Let the war begin!"
"I, the general, will directly open the city gate and welcome you into the city. Do you dare to enter?"
The words fell.
Huo Guang laughed and ran back to Ershi City, and directly opened the city gate, waiting for King Yu Cheng to lead his troops into the city.
And Huo Guang himself.
He sat on the city gate and played his flute quietly, suppressing King Yucheng's 30,000 elite men and not daring to move.
When King Yucheng saw Huo Guang's posture, he suspected that there was an ambush in the city.
Did not dare to enter the city.
So he sent troops to surround the city of Ershi, built a barrier as a wall, and sent archers to watch the city gate. If any Han soldiers came out, they would be shot dead.
However.
One day later, King Yu Cheng received an urgent report from the Far East, saying that the Han people had gathered troops from four counties, tens of thousands of them, and were heading here.
After King Yucheng learned the news, he seemed to be enlightened and said: "What's wrong, the Han people are delaying reinforcements."
"Send the order, all the elite troops will follow this king into the Second Division City."
"Destroy these 4,000 enemy troops first, and then deal with the Han reinforcements. With this kind of victory, we can persuade the Da Yueshi to form an alliance!" (End of Chapter)
