After everything was agreed upon, the four of them began to carry out their respective tasks.
Jia Xu is responsible for continuing to explore the latest information returned.
Xun You was responsible for allocating grain, grass and weapons to prepare for dispatching troops at any time.
Zhao Yun and Tai Shici went to the Chinese Army and the Northern Army respectively to reorganize their troops and prepare them for deployment at any time.
Liu Zhang was not idle either.
After the orderer took the map, he quietly thought about possible war strategies.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the martial arts tournament to begin.
Despite all the irritations, Liu Zhang had to put down these trivial matters and got up to go to the school grounds.
Today's competition requires the King of Qin to draw the sword himself, and Liu Zhang must show up.
Furthermore, hosting the event for two consecutive days and disappearing for no reason on the third day will inevitably be criticized.
Exactly like yesterday, when we arrived at the school grounds, there was still a quarter of an hour before the start.
However, the school grounds were still crowded with people.
The audience, the losers of the martial arts tournament are all present.
Even Zhou Cang, who was severely injured by Xu Chu, appeared in sight.
Liu Zhang was the last one to arrive.
I didn't care about these trivial matters and went directly to the top of the platform.
All twenty final winners were absent.
Zhao Yun and Tai Shici each returned from the army.
Jia Xu, Xun You, Liu Ye, Lu Su and Fazheng also sat in their respective seats.
Different from yesterday's relaxed and happy mood, the five people's faces were all covered with a shadow.
Under Liu Zhang's instruction, Jia Xu and Xun You had told Liu Ye, Lu Su and Fazheng the general situation of the matter.
When there is almost no clue, even a top wise man will have a huge headache.
"Meet the King of Qin!"
Seeing Liu Zhang coming, everyone in the school stood up to greet him.
"You don't have to be polite, please take a seat!"
With a casual wave of his hand, Liu Zhang went straight to the main seat.
Even the twenty winners were too lazy to use words to encourage them.
"King Qin."
After taking their seats, the five conspirators almost surrounded him.
"You all know, right?"
Lu Su and the other three nodded.
"Any ideas?"
As soon as the words fell, Fazheng was the first to stand up.
"Prince Qin, I have no clue about Sun...'s matter."
"But in my opinion, this matter is also a good opportunity for us."
"The Huns are entrenched in the Hetao area and are always a threat to Beidi County and Yongliang Prefecture."
"There are alien races on the left and right, and they all need to be eliminated anyway. Why not take advantage of this opportunity and suddenly send troops to attack!"
"Whether it is the Huns who did it or not, they will be completely annihilated!"
Fazheng's attitude towards foreigners was even more ruthless than Liu Zhang's.
In his opinion, kill if you can, kill if you can't, and don't want to let go if you can recruit someone to surrender.
In short, just kill, kill, kill!
It won't be over until the clan is exterminated!
This kind of attitude that drives people to death is partly supported by Liu Zhang.
Some of them were also opposed by Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang naturally had no objections to the Xiongnu.
But this time involves Sun Xiaomei's safety, so we can't agree rashly.
"Xiaozhi, if she is indeed kidnapped by the Xiongnu, it will definitely be a disaster if she is attacked rashly."
"This time, no matter what, we must ensure her safety to the maximum extent."
"Qin..."
Fazheng opened his mouth, originally wanting to persuade Liu Zhang to put the overall situation first and not to care about his children.
But he was stopped by Jia Xu's stern eyes across from him.
Jia Xu was so scheming that he could guess what Fazheng was going to say at a glance.
As they were both northwest counselors, they naturally did not want to openly anger Liu Zhang.
"King Qin, the old minister of Wei Jian has been there."
"Now that the Wei family has completely severed contact with the Xiongnu, there is no hope for them."
Jia Xu dropped the topic at the right time, and Fazheng also slowly stepped back.
"The situation in Hedong has not been reported back yet, so now we can only calm down and wait..."
Liu Zhang nodded helplessly.
"That's all it can do..."
Waiting is indeed the only way at the moment.
It is also the most painful.
"King Qin, do you want to send an envoy to Hetao?"
At this time, Lu Su, who was good at diplomacy, put forward his own ideas.
"Zijing, in the battle east of Hedong, we massacred so many Xiongnu people, and the two sides have been fighting for many years."
"Sending an envoy now will not have much effect."
"King Qin, it was precisely because of the last battle between the two sides that he beat the Huns to pieces!"
"Without the Wei family, the Xiongnu will no longer be able to trade with us. Life must be particularly difficult!"
"Sending an envoy at this time can firstly stabilize them, and secondly, they can inquire about the news in detail!"
Lu Su's ideas all started with diplomatic means.
At present, the two forces are not only strong and weak.
But the strong ones are as strong as the sky, and the weak ones are as weak as ants!
If the weak can be cared for and protected by the strong, they will definitely be grateful.
This suggestion made Liu Zhang's eyes light up.
"Zijing, keep talking."
"As you command!"
“Although it’s June now, winter is here in a blink of an eye.”
"After so many years of cutting off diplomatic relations and cutting off markets, food, clothing, salt, etc., which one is not the lifeblood of the Xiongnu?"
"If we can send an envoy to clarify our interests and are willing to use these materials to re-establish friendly relations, I believe the Huns will not refuse!"
Lu Su paused and showed an extremely confident look.
"Furthermore, the Huns are not of one mind. The Xian Wang and the Chan Yu seem to be related by blood, but in fact they are not inseparable."
"If you can win over one faction and suppress another, it will be much easier to deal with them in the end..."
Liu Zhang nodded repeatedly, unable to find anything wrong at all.
If we follow normal inferences, this must be the best way to eliminate the Huns.
But it's not normal right now.
It would be fine if Sun Xiaomei was not in the hands of the Huns.
Once you are here, how can you wait so long?
Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly.
"Zijing, although your method is good, it goes against He Gu's ideas."
"Now, saving people comes first!"
Lu Su was not discouraged and continued to speak quickly.
"King Qin, this plan can be divided into two steps."
"Send envoys immediately to inquire inside the Xiongnu!"
"No matter how detailed the search is, it's probably not as direct as sending people into the Xiongnu!"
"Even if we send out troops immediately, we can still provide detailed intelligence to the army!"
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
"only..."
This time, Liu Zhang was extremely happy and had no objection.
However, it is also very difficult.
"Whom shall I send as a messenger?"
This person must be alert, courageous and able to assess the situation.
At least have strong diplomatic skills.
Even if Sun Xiaomei is really in the hands of the Huns, she must remain calm and composed and not reveal any flaws!
Lu Su showed a smile, he had already thought of everything.
"Haha, didn't King Qin forget? There is a person who has an irreconcilable relationship with the Xiongnu!"
