Traveling through Chenghan Xiandi, fortunately I have a simulator

Chapter 173 Jia Xu's Mission
Xihe County

At this moment, Jia Xu has arrived at the court of the Southern Huns. On the way through Xihe County, Jia Xu also carefully observed the situation of the royal court of the Southern Huns.

Although the royal family of the Southern Huns has moved to the Central Plains for hundreds of years, they still retain the habits of many grassland nomads. For example, the Huns outside the city did not build villages and live in farming, but turned farmland into pastures. Engaged in the life of breeding war horses, which is why the royal family of the Southern Huns occupied the fertile Hetao land, but they plundered it repeatedly.

Under the grassland management model of the Royal Court of the Southern Huns, the population of Xihe County is far inferior to that of other counties, but the Huns are more brave and good at fighting, so Bingzhou Zhang Yang did not dare to easily provoke the Royal Court of the Southern Huns, so the two sides maintained Basic balance.

As the court's envoy, Jia Xu entered Shan Yurov's mansion smoothly.

"I don't know why the court envoy is here?" Yu Luofu asked his servants to arrange a seat, and then asked slowly.

"Shanyu must have known about the imperial court's occupation of Shangjun." Jia Xu cut to the chase.

"Of course I know about this. When the court took down Shangjun, I sent my son Huyanluo to congratulate the court." Yu Luofu nodded.

"Shangjun has achieved good results since it was ruled by my court officials for a month, but His Majesty is worried that Bingzhou Zhangyang hates the court's seizure of Shangjun, so he is still not at ease after all. Thinking that Bingzhou Zhangyang is just a county guard appointed by the late emperor, Now that he is the shepherd of Bingzhou, he is holding back the land of the five counties, and even His Majesty has taken back the upper counties, and there are quite a few criticisms."

"I and other officials can bear Zhang Yang's behavior, but His Majesty can't accept it. Your Majesty is really a hero. He has already passed the limit of patience for Zhang Yang's provocative behavior. In the past month, His Majesty has continuously mobilized court resources. , and even use the three generals Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, and Lu Bu, just to defeat Zhang Yang's ambition in a single battle."

"Your Majesty intends to attack Zhang Yang?" Yu Luofu's mind went blank. He never thought that the imperial court would expand to this extent.

In March, the imperial army defeated the Baibo rebellion in Hedong County. In April, the imperial army captured Bingzhou Shangjun. Both wars were completely victorious. Of course, Yu Luofu was fully aware of these two wars. After all, Hedong Both County and Shang County are adjacent to Xihe County.

It's just that these two wars are still small fights after all. Even if the royal court of the Southern Huns really wanted to fight these two wars, they might be able to win a small victory.

"Bingzhou Zhangyang is powerful, can the court really be sure?" Yu Luofu asked slowly again, he still couldn't believe what the envoy said.

"For Zhang Yang's expedition this time, His Majesty intends to send [-] troops and call out important generals from the imperial court. Even if he cannot win a complete victory, he must fight until Zhang Yang no longer dares to despise the imperial court."

"Besides, the imperial court sent me here this time to form an alliance with the royal court and jointly send troops to Zhang Yang. With the imperial court's [-] troops and Shan Yu's [-] cavalry, Zhang Yang is definitely not our opponent." Jia Xu said confidently.

As an envoy of the imperial court, if even Jia Xu expressed concern, then Shan Yu would be even more worried. After all, 13 troops will be used in this battle.

According to Yu Luofu's understanding of Zhang Yang, the 13 army is really possible to destroy Zhang Yang's troops, but it is only theoretical. After all, the imperial court fought small battles before, and if so many troops are mobilized at once, can they be coordinated? Well, still an important question.

Yu Luofu's worries are actually not surprising. Jia Xu had already thought about it from the very beginning.

"Shan Yu, the imperial court has checked Zhang Yang's strength. Zhang Yang has 11 troops in Yunzhong County, [-] troops in Wuyuan County, [-] troops in Yanmen County, [-] troops in Dingxiang County, [-] troops in Shuofang County, and [-] troops in Taiyuan County. There are [-] troops stationed, and the total strength is about [-]."

"The imperial army and Shanyu's army totaled 13, especially Shanyu's prairie cavalry, which can fight two against one. Therefore, in this battle, we have the greatest possibility of victory." Jia Xu continued to defuse Yu Luo Husband's worries.

Although it is said that the royal court of the Southern Huns and Zhang Yang have always had conflicts, especially in the competition for Taiyuan County, several small-scale battles broke out, but that was just friction. The real war has not yet been carried out between the two parties, because The Southern Xiongnu Wang Ting and Zhang Yang, neither of them is sure to eliminate each other.

"If Zhang Yang's troops are wiped out, I wonder what benefits the imperial court can give our department?" Yu Fuluo already had a tendency to be tempted.

Whether it is the elite level of the imperial army or the prairie cavalry of the Southern Huns, in terms of individual combat capabilities, they are slightly stronger than Zhang Yang's soldiers. Coupled with the superiority in numbers, it is not surprising that Yu Fuluo is a little bit excited.

"The imperial court can appoint Shanyu as the shepherd of Bingzhou, and become a real court official, managing the nine counties of Bingzhou for the imperial court." Jia Xulang said.

"Empty words?" Yurov frowned.

"Of course not, I have already brought these things." Jia Xu said.

"Come here, get the imperial edict and official seal." Jia Xu shouted towards the outside of the hall.

Soon, an edict and the official seal of Bingzhou Mu were taken up by the servants.

"Shan Yu, you also know that Zhang Yang's Bingzhou Mu was only sealed by the national traitor Dong Zhuo in the name of the court. If Zhang Yang obeyed the court's order, His Majesty would naturally admit it. But it is a pity that Zhang Yang not only does not pay taxes to the court, but also does not accept court personnel. The arrangement is like the attitude of a country within a country, so Your Majesty thinks that this Bingzhou shepherd should be replaced." After finishing speaking, Jia Xu handed the edict and official seal to Shan Yu.

Yu Luofu took the edict and official seal carefully, and then opened it to observe carefully. He never expected that the imperial court had promised him the position of Bingzhou pastor in advance in order to win him over.

For the imperial court, the position of Bingzhou shepherd looks good, but it is actually useless, because the current Bingzhou shepherd Zhang Yang doesn't pay attention to the court at all, which is completely the attitude of a prince. Therefore, it is not too much to hand over Bingzhou shepherd to Yu Luofu big problem.

Giving Bingzhou Shepherd to Yu Luofu, on the one hand, represents the sincerity of the imperial court's cooperation, and on the other hand, it also mobilizes the enthusiasm of the Southern Huns as much as possible. It seems that it is given to Yu Luofu and Bingzhou Shepherd, but in fact it is just a verbal promise. After all, most counties in Bingzhou are still in the hands of Zhang Yang.

For so many years, Yu Luofu has been close to the court, but the Central Plains court has always looked down on him, so for so many years, Yu Luofu is just a prefect, but now the edict and official seal of Bingzhou Mu are in front of his eyes, as long as he can catch up Going to Zhang Yang, this Bingzhou pastor is appropriate, after all, there are only two main forces in Bingzhou, he and Zhang Yang.

If there is only the power of the Southern Huns Royal Court, even if it is the temptation of Bingzhou Mu, Yu Luofu will not dare to develop ambitions. After all, the Southern Huns Royal Court is not yet Zhang Yang's opponent, but with the imperial court's [-] troops, the situation is completely different up.

"Messenger, how about giving the court an answer after I have asked King Zuo Xian?" Yu Luofu said politely.

"It's okay, then I'll wait for Shan Yu's decision." Jia Xu said slowly.

Under the arrangement of Yu Luofu, Jia Xu followed the servants to the other courtyard, and then sat and waited for the result.

From the very beginning, Jia Xu knew that the Shanyu of the Southern Huns would not be so easy to persuade. After all, the royal court of the Southern Xiongnu and Bingzhou Mu Zhangyang completely tore apart their faces at the beginning of this battle. The state of small fights.

The royal court of the Southern Huns is not the Northern Huns. Since they entered the Central Plains, the courage of the nomads has gradually faded. After all, the living environment of the Central Plains is better than that of the northern grasslands, so the fighting spirit of the Southern Huns has already faded. , for the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu, being able to become the state shepherd of the Han Dynasty is his greatest glory.

But even so, Shan Yu of the Southern Huns could not act arbitrarily. After all, this matter involved the life and death of the Southern Huns, so Yu Luofu asked his servants to call Zuo Xianwang.

Yu Luofu would never have thought that he would have already arrived at King Zuoxian's mansion before the court envoys visited him.

This time, Jia Xu not only brought sincerity to the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu, but also to King Zuoxian. In addition to a large amount of gold and silver treasures, he also had a promise.

As long as Zuo Xianwang can help the court envoys to persuade the Southern Huns Shanyu, regardless of the outcome of this battle, Zuo Xianwang can serve the court and become the prefect of a county.

For the court, these are things that can be promised. Anyway, Zhang Ming is good at painting big cakes, and Jia Xu is even better at it.

When Zuo Xianwang arrived at Shan Yu's mansion, Yu Luofu told all the intentions of the imperial envoy's visit, and even took out the imperial edict and official seal.

"King Zuo Xian, do you think it is feasible to make an alliance with the court and attack Zhang Yang together?" Yu Luofu asked slowly.

"Shan Yu, my subordinates think it's feasible." King Zuo Xian said after thinking for a long time.

Before coming to Shan Yu's mansion, King Zuo Xian already knew what was going on, after all, the court envoy had already communicated with him.

Today's Southern Huns Royal Court is very lonely, neither dare to fight against the court, nor dare to fight against Zhang Yang, it can be said that the chaos is very tragic, Zuoxian King is the second in command of the Southern Huns Royal Court, although there is only one person in the Southern Huns Royal Court Below, the status above ten thousand people, but at best it is not as good as a prefect of a county. After all, Shan Yu's identity is only a big man's prefect.

Therefore, the court's promise to Zuo Xianwang was much higher than Shan Yu's treatment. Coupled with a large amount of bribes, Zuo Xianwang undoubtedly chose to speak for the court.

For people in this era, painting cakes is really useful, and it is very useful. However, for different people, different cakes should be drawn.

"Since you think it's feasible, I'll call the court envoys to sign the alliance treaty now." Yu Luofu said seriously.

Shanyu Luofu of the Southern Huns stopped hesitating after getting the approval of King Zuo Xian, but directly asked his servants to call the court envoy Jia Xu, and then the three of them began to discuss the alliance in the hall.

Two days later, the alliance treaty in duplicate was completed.

After everything was done, Jia Xu left Xihe County with the alliance treaty.

Bingzhou Mu Zhangyang has not realized the crisis is coming at this moment, and now he, like the state herds in other parts of the north, is looking for a way out to control the drought in the farmland.

"My lord, the scouts are here to report." A personal guard walked into Zhang Yang's mansion eagerly.

"Let him in." Zhang Yang said annoyed.

"My lord, the royal court of the Southern Huns is gathering their cavalry, and they seem to be making moves." The scouts entered the meeting hall eagerly.

"What is the royal court of the Southern Huns doing again? It's really annoying." Zhang Yang said angrily.

Zhang Yang was already bothered by the drought, and now there was news about the Southern Huns royal court. There was no doubt that the Southern Huns royal court gathered their cavalry. Although they didn't know what they were going to do, Zhang Yang had to guard against it.

"Let General Yang Chou strengthen the defense line of Taiyuan County." Zhang Yang ordered the military order to be handed over to the guards.

In the past, Zhang Yang often had conflicts with the Southern Huns Royal Court. Generally speaking, if the Southern Huns Royal Court made a move, it was about to invade Taiyuan County again.

As everyone knows, Zhang Yang's judgment was very wrong this time, because the goal of the Southern Huns royal court this time was no longer to invade Taiyuan County, but directly attacked Yunzhong County, which was Zhang Yang's stronghold.

Under Huangfusong's guidance, there was no obstacle in the recruitment of soldiers in Guanzhong, and [-] recruits were quickly recruited.

In the high gate hall, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang are waiting for His Majesty's task at the moment.

"Zhang Liao, I will give you [-] soldiers to garrison Chencang City and Meiwu. If Hanzhong and Liangzhou invade, are you sure to defend against the enemy?" Zhang Ming said seriously.

"I have confidence." Zhang Liao replied firmly.

"Okay, Cui Ming, hand over the imperial edict and tiger talisman to Zhang Liao," Zhang Ming said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Liao went to the military headquarters with the imperial edict and tiger charm.

"Xu Huang, do you have any objections to leading [-] recruits to Hedong County to accept Zhu Jun's leadership?" Zhang Ming asked.

"I have no objection." Xu Huang said loudly.

"Okay, Cui Ming, hand over the imperial edict and tiger talisman to Xu Huang," Zhang Ming said.

After Xu Huang took over the imperial edict from Cui Ming, he realized that there were actually two copies. He couldn't help asking curiously: "Your Majesty, why do you have two edicts?"

"One is for Zhu Jun, and one is for you." Zhang Ming explained.

"I understand." After finishing speaking, Xu Huang took the imperial edict and tiger charm and went to the military headquarters.

Although it was said that Zhang Ming gave Zhu Jun all recruits, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the imperial court had a limited number of elite soldiers.

In this battle, Jia Xu told Shan Yu that there were [-] soldiers, but the court only dispatched about [-] soldiers, and [-] of them were recruits. These recruits were mainly concentrated in Zhu Jun's subordinates and Lu Bu's subordinates.

Although Zhu Jun's subordinates were all new recruits, the problem was actually not a big deal, because the cavalry of the Southern Huns were on the front line. Zhu Jun's troops would not serve as the backbone to fight against Zhang Yang's army. The cavalry of the Huns.

As for the western battlefield and the eastern battlefield, the situation is completely different. Huangfusong and Lu Bu will directly attack Zhang Yang's hinterland, so the elite soldiers of the court are mainly concentrated in Huangfusong's and Lu Bu's subordinates.

So just after Zhang Liao and Xu Huang set off, Huangfu Song led the last [-] elite soldiers in Chang'an City and set off in the direction of Shangjun.

Since then, in addition to the [-] Imperial Guards and [-] personal soldiers in the entire Chang'an City, there are only less than [-] soldiers left. Of the [-] soldiers, about [-] will be dispatched to rush to the Meridian Road to prevent being attacked by Hanzhong. Army sneak attack.
