It's about time.
The scorching sun is half westward.
The Yan army's temporary camp.
After loading all the loot into the car.
Chang Sanjin, who was responsible for the transfer, once again led thousands of Yan Army soldiers under his command.
Driving the Huns prisoners of war as well as a large number of cattle, sheep, horses and other spoils of war.
Embark on the road back to the logistics center of Yehuling.
After Chang Sanjinbu's figure completely disappeared from sight.
Xu Yi, who was wearing a full black armor with water-like mountain patterns and a green-faced fang mask, turned around and walked towards the Chinese army's tent again.
Not long after.
Xu Yi went to the Chinese army's tent and sat down on the Taishi's chair again.
Then he leaned his back on the back of the chair, placed his hands flat on the armrests, and raised his legs on the desk.
See this scene.
Leader Wen Xin retreated silently and stood guard in front of the curtain of the Chinese army's tent.
On the chair of the Grand Master in the main tent of the Chinese army.
After your body and mind are in the most relaxed state.
Xu Yi then slowly closed his eyes and sorted through the news brought by Wen Baocai and Zhuang Yongguo one by one in his mind.
May 24th.
Xia Houdong led the Dasanguan elite cavalry of 12,000 people, the frontier army of 30,000 infantry, and the four prefectures of Liang, Bing, You, and Ji, with a total of 100,000 civilians.
Carrying a large amount of grain, grass and baggage, they traveled eighty miles to Minghu Mountain and set up camp.
May 25th.
Jordan, King of Left Valley Li of the Xiongnu, and Muliangha, King of Right Valley Li of the Xiongnu, launched an all-out attack on Minghu Mountain. Minghu Mountain was in a state of emergency.
This battle lasted almost a day and night.
Later, Li Guangli's troops successfully defended Minghu Mountain at the heavy cost of losing more than 6,000 men.
May 26th.
In order to solve the crisis of Li Guangli's tribe in Minghu Mountain.
Xia Houdong personally led thousands of fine cavalrymen from Dasanguan and 15,000 frontier infantry to leave the camp and rush for reinforcements.
Finally, they were ambushed by Huns cavalry in the Maoming Valley forty miles away from Minghu Mountain.
Later, Xiahoudong's tribe and the Xiongnu ambush were in a stalemate in the Maoming River Valley.
Around Yin hour on May 27th.
Originally located at the foot of Minghu Mountain, Jordan, King of Xiongnu Left Valley Li, and King Muliangha of Xiongnu Right Valley, suddenly appeared with their troops outside the Xiahoudong camp eighty miles away.
And brazenly launched an attack on Xiahou Dong's camp.
Later, nearly half of Xiahoudong's grain, grass and baggage were captured by the Xiongnu King Guli.
at the same time.
Li Guangli, who noticed the withdrawal of Jordan and Mulianha, led his troops out of Minghu Mountain.
May 29th.
Xia Houdong and Li Guangli arrived at the Zhou army camp one after another.
at the same time.
Udati, the Xiongnu general on the left, and Qiemo, the Xiongnu general on the right, led their troops to arrive outside the Zhou army's camp.
May 30th.
Before and after Mao Shi.
Li Guangli and Xia Houdong sent scouts to leave the camp to ask for help.
Before and after Si Shi.
The four Xiongnu kings will launch attacks simultaneously from three directions, southeast and west of the Zhou army's camp.
Zhou and Hungary fought until around Youshi.
In the end, Li Guangli and Xia Houdong successfully defended the Zhou army camp at the heavy cost of losing more than 7,000 troops.
And it will cause at least 20,000 casualties to the four Xiongnu kings.
June 1st.
King Jordan of Zuoguli of the Xiongnu sent envoys to the Zhou army camp to discuss peace.
The Yan army temporarily camped in the Chinese army's tent.
After all the major events that have happened in recent days are sorted out in my mind in the form of a timeline.
Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes, then put down his legs that were flat on the desk, straightened his back and sat upright on the Taishi chair again.
"It's good to surround the area with reinforcements and secretly infiltrate Chencang."
Xu Yi sat on the Taishi chair and looked to the northwest with a solemn face.
It is not difficult to see on the timeline that has been sorted out.
Jordan and Mu Liangha’s love from beginning to end
The goal is never to kill the enemy, but to provide food, grass, and baggage.
The reason why he launched an all-out attack on Li Guangli's troops on Minghu Mountain was.
It was nothing more than to encircle the point for reinforcements and to secretly attack Xiahoudong's camp in Chencang, so as to obtain a large amount of food, grass and baggage from Xiahoudong's troops.
During the battle to attack the camp on May 27th.
Although Jordan and Mulianha took away nearly half of Xiahou Dong's food, grass, baggage and civilian husbands.
But human greed is always endless.
Jordan and Mu Liangha besieged Minister Li Guangli for half a year.
How can we be satisfied with nearly half of the food and grass baggage?
The incident on May 30th when the four Xiongnu kings besieged the Zhou army’s camp undoubtedly proved this point extremely well.
However.
Ling Jordan, Mu Liangha and other Hun king generals never expected this.
Even though it paid a heavy price of more than 20,000 casualties.
Still failed to capture the Zhou army camp where Xiahou Dong's and Li Guangli's troops were located.
As for Jordan's initiative to send envoys to negotiate peace after the war.
On the surface, it seems that the four kings of the Huns lost too many soldiers and horses in this attack on the camp.
This gave rise to a desire for peace.
But in Xu Yi's opinion.
This matter will never be as simple as it seems.
Looking back at this war between the two countries that lasted for nearly a year.
Jordan was also defeated by the front and back attacks of Li Guangli's and Yu Yafu's troops, and suffered successive losses of troops and generals.
In the end, he just ran away.
But even so, Jordan never sent an envoy to negotiate peace with the Zhou army.
Notice.
At that time, Jordan was fighting alone.
At this time, Jordan was surrounded by the soldiers and horses of Mulianha, the king of Guli on the right side of the Xiongnu, Udati, the general on the left of the Xiongnu, and Qiemo, the general on the right of the Xiongnu.
And even though 20,000 soldiers and horses were lost in the battle to attack the camp.
There are at least 50,000 to 60,000 troops around him.
The Zhou army's Xiahou Dong and Li Guangli troops had at most more than 30,000 troops.
Under such circumstances.
How could Jordan take the initiative to send envoys to negotiate peace?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
But it is limited by the fact that very little information is known.
Even Xu Yi was unable to deduce the secret behind Jordan's initiative to send envoys to negotiate peace in a short period of time.
.......
.......
The Yan army temporarily camped in the Chinese army's tent.
Xu Yi, who was puzzled, had to put the matter aside for the time being.
Then he withdrew his gaze to the northwest.
He turned to look at the capital Chang'an.
"If the peace talks are true."
"How will Masanori react?"
"How will the court officials react?"
"How will the situation in the world change as a result?"
Xu Yi took a deep look at the location of Chang'an, the capital, and then couldn't help but lowered his eyelids slightly and fell into deep thought again.
Looking back at this confrontation between Zhou and Hungary that has lasted for nearly a year.
The Great Zhou side had a slight advantage except at the beginning and when the four kings came to help.
The rest of the time, they are basically at a disadvantage.
It can even be described as a complete failure.
General Li Guangli of Sima was besieged Minghu Mountain for half a year.
When he went to Mobei, he had 30,000 elite cavalry, and 5,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry led by General Li Ling.
As well as 20,000 cavalry sent by the four kings of Zhao, Han, Dai and Liao for reinforcements.
As of now, there are only about 5,000 people left.
The rebel general Xia Houdong led the Dasanguan elite cavalry force of 2,000 men and the border troops of 30,000 foot soldiers.
After arriving at the Mobei battlefield, not only did they fail to make any achievements, but they suffered successive losses of troops and generals.
Such a high-profile performance on the Great Zhou side will inevitably cause great turmoil in the situation in the Western Region.
The situation in the Western Regions is related to the vital interests of the Zhou Dynasty and many aristocratic families.
The reason why the situation in the Western Region has not yet produced earth-shaking turmoil.
It's just because time is short.
The news of this place has not yet spread to the Western Regions.
Therefore.
In Xu Yi's opinion.
Emperor Zhengde and his ministers would not negotiate peace with the Xiongnu.
Instead, a large number of additional soldiers will be sent to Mobei in the shortest possible time.
In order to prevent the turmoil in the Western Region from completely breaking out.
Achieve a comprehensive and overwhelming victory.
Even today, the Great Zhou Dynasty is completely overwhelmed, with refugees and rebellions happening all over the country.
Emperor Zhengde and his ministers would also do the same.
It comes down to it.
Xu Yita understood the virtues of Emperor Zhengde and the officials in the court who came from aristocratic families.
In the eyes of Emperor Zhengde and the ministers in the court.
After all, the refugee rebellion was just a small fight.
As for after an overwhelming victory.
Whether there was war or peace between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Xiongnu, the initiative was completely in the hands of Emperor Zhengde.
Thinking about this.
Sitting upright on the Taishi's chair, Xu Yi's face, with his eyelids slightly lowered, couldn't help but look serious.
"Jordan who can play with Li Guangli and Xia Houdong at the palm of his hand..."
"Can't you see this?"
Xu Yi lowered his eyelids slightly and murmured to himself as his face became increasingly serious.
King Zuogu Li of the Xiongnu was able to besiege Li Guangli in Minghu Mountain for half a year.
Wouldn't King Zuogu Li of the Xiongnu, who was able to use the strategy of going out to the encirclement point to call for reinforcements and secretly attacking Chencang, to swallow nearly half of Xiahoudong's food and baggage in one fell swoop, see this?
Xu Yi never believed that Jordan couldn't see this.
Things come full circle.
In the end, it came back to why Jordan took the initiative to send envoys to negotiate peace.
"Why would Jordan take the initiative to send envoys to negotiate peace?"
"What is the purpose of sending envoys to negotiate peace?"
Xu Yi murmured in a low voice with an extremely solemn expression.
I do not know how long it has been.
Xu Yi was sitting upright on the Taishi chair, with his eyelids slightly lowered and lost in thought.
Suddenly his eyes opened suddenly.
"perhaps."
"The peace negotiation is not what Jordan wants."
Xu Yi stood up suddenly.
Then he looked to the north with a solemn expression.
If this peace negotiation is not what Jordan wants.
Then someone must have forced him to do this.
And there are people within the Huns who can force Jordan to do this.
Only the Xiongnu Chanyu and the Xiongnu Zuoxian King.
It is rumored.
In the twenty-ninth year of Zhengde, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Xiongnu suffered natural disasters at the same time.
There was a huge disagreement within the Xiongnu.
That disagreement directly divided the Xiongnu into two factions, and there was a vague tendency to split.
At that time.
A group of princes and tribal leaders headed by the Xiongnu Chanyu advocated going south.
Taking advantage of the Great Zhou Guanzhong disaster that had not yet subsided, they launched an all-out war against the Zhou Dynasty in an attempt to regain the Hexi Corridor that had been taken away by the Great Zhou Dynasty.
A group of princes and tribal leaders headed by King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu advocated a westward attack.
First enter the Western Regions, and then slowly plan for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As the Xiongnu Zuoguli King, Jordan did not hesitate to side with the Xiongnu Shanyu in this disagreement.
As a result, the relationship between him and King Zuo Xian will inevitably drop to a freezing point, or even break up directly.
Sober, even King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu forced Jordan to send envoys to negotiate peace with Zhou Dynasty.
It will inevitably lead to negative consequences.
Therefore.
The person who ordered Jordan to send an envoy to negotiate peace with Zhou Dynasty was definitely not King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu.
However, the Xiongnu Chanyu had previously advocated an all-out southward attack to recapture the Hexi Corridor.
Why did Jordan take the initiative to send envoys to negotiate peace with Zhou Dynasty?
Thinking about this.
Xu Yi's already serious expression couldn't help but become more serious again.
In his opinion.
At this time, the Xiongnu Chanyu Yi Zhixie may have reached a consensus with the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Wu Wei.
If Yi Zhixie and Wu Wei reach a consensus.
This way.
Jordan took the initiative to send envoys to the Zhou army's camp to discuss the purpose of peace, and it was ready to come out.
Yizhi Xie ordered him to negotiate peace, and his fundamental purpose was nothing more than to delay time.
In order to completely spread the news about this place in the Western Region.
This will lay a good foundation for the Xiongnu's plot to conquer the Western Regions.
"If it is as I guessed."
"I'm afraid the Western Region is in danger."
Thinking of this, Xu Yi's heart suddenly couldn't stop beating wildly.
"Ask the heart!"
After more than ten breaths, Xu Yi suppressed the throbbing in his heart and then called out in a deep voice.
"Owner!"
Leader Wenxin, who was standing outside the curtain of the Chinese army's tent, heard this and quickly lifted the curtain, then stepped inside.
"Immediately deploy ten Wenxin and ten Scarlet Blood Guards."
"The person selected must be extremely familiar with all parts of the Western Region."
"In addition, prepare sixty high-quality war horses, ten days of dry food, and five hundred kilograms of dried meat!"
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then ordered in a deep voice.
"Follow the order!"
Upon hearing this, the leader of Wenxin immediately clasped his fists to accept the order, then quickly turned around and left.
Wait until the figure of leader Wen Xin completely disappears behind the Chinese army tent.
Xu Yi then sat on the Taishi chair again.
Then pour water into the inkstone and grind it carefully.
Wait until the ink is thick enough.
Xu Yi quickly laid out a piece of paper and then quickly wrote two secret letters on the paper.
Not long after.
The writing stops and the writing is completed.
Wait until the ink is completely dry.
Xu Yi then cut the paper in half and sealed it in an envelope.
It is accompanied by a lacquer seal.
Another quarter of an hour.
Leader Wen Xin returned to the Chinese army's tent again.
"Report to the Master."
"Ten Wenxin and ten Red Blood Guards have all arrived outside the tent."
"The chosen people all know all the places in the Western Region."
"In addition, sixty high-quality war horses, ten days of dry food, and five hundred kilograms of dried meat have been prepared."
The leader of Wenxin quickly walked two steps away from the desk, then leaned over and clasped his fists to report.
"good."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, then picked up the two secret letters, stood up, left the Grand Master's chair, and walked straight towards the Chinese army's tent.
"Wenxin Baiwei pays homage to the master."
"The Red Blood Guards pay their respects to the prince."
Xu Yifang walked out of the Chinese army tent.
The ten Wenxin Hundred Guards and ten Scarlet Blood Guards who were arranged on the left and right sides of the Chinese army's tent immediately leaned down deeply and clasped their fists in salute.
At this time, Xin Sixuan and others had not returned from training.
The entire Chinese army's tent is within three hundred steps.
Except for more than a hundred Chinese army personal guards composed of Wenxin Hundred Guards and Red Blood Guards, there was no one else.
"No gift."
Xu Yi stood in front of the Chinese army's tent and silently looked around at the Wenxin Baiwei and Scarlet Blood Guards who were arranged on the left and right sides.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wenxin Baiwei and Chixuewei thanked them again after hearing this, and then straightened up.
"I have two secret letters in my hand."
"It needs to be delivered to the Prince Jin's Mansion in the Western Regions and the Prince Jin's Mansion in the capital in the shortest possible time."
"Can you take on this important task?!"
Xu Yi asked in a deep voice with an extremely serious expression.
"able!"
Ten Asking Hearts Hundred Guards and ten Scarlet Blood Guards Wu
Bu responded loudly.
"good!"
"When you come back, I will celebrate your success in person!"
Xu Yi looked around again, then nodded in agreement.
The words are over.
Xu Yi then handed the secret letter in his hand to the leader Wen Xin beside him.
