Better to live forever [Rebirth]

It was Zhu Dingbei's intention to let Wan Ye show his face in front of the Huns.

Wan Ye's position in the Xiongnu was not uncommon. Although he was a servile servant, he was very talkative in front of Gu Erqing, and he was the one who made many strategic plans.He became the Dajing Army, and it was not difficult for those people to imagine why the three Kelan cities were still retreating steadily under the garrison of so many Huns.

Here, Wan Ye must have made the most of the contribution.

In the Xiongnu, whether it was the followers of the Li family who fled to the Xiongnu privately or some Dajing border traders and grooms who were recruited by them, there were not many people in Dajing.

There is a precedent of "betrayal" by Wan Ye, but he wants to see if the royal family of the Huns can still "include all rivers"!As for the fate of those Dajing people, Zhu Dingbei didn't care at all. He only regretted that he couldn't see their fate with his own eyes. Who would pity their lives?

This redemption operation finally ended smoothly. At the moment when all the Hun captives were taken back, the dismounted cavalrymen of the Huns deliberately drew their bows and shot arrows to revenge Zhu's army, but when the fort was raised to aim at them, these people would not be reconciled. Can only lose.

Hearing Zhu Zhengbei talk about the haughty attitude of the heavy armored soldiers of the Xiongnu on the horse and their desolate appearance when they left, Zhu Zhenliang was so happy that he exclaimed "Happy!"

"Thanks to my brother for notifying me in advance, otherwise, how could I have such a prestige, haha!"

They had long expected that the cattle and sheep sent by the Xiongnu would not be good products, and they originally planned to act according to the letter of credence, but Zhu Dingbei chose to go the wrong way.I have to say, this dismount is really exciting!

Zhu Dingbei pursed his lips and suppressed a smile, and said solemnly: "Father, brother, don't be too busy and happy to forget the business. The Huns royal family will not let it go after such a big loss. They urgently need a victory to stabilize Therefore, in the next battle, they will definitely send their most elite heavy armored soldiers to save the situation. We should first think of a countermeasure."

Only then did Zhu Zhenliang and his son stop laughing.

The father and son, together with Ning Heng, gathered around the table and discussed with the defense map laid out on the table.

Zhu Zhengbei first said: "The three cities of Kelan are located on the southwest border of the Xiongnu. After crossing the Wuhe River, there are natural dangers in the mountains. They will definitely use the natural dangers to provoke us. But here is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They want to fight a beautiful victory. We Zhu Jiajun is not a vegetarian either. So I think they will definitely use the pretense of fighting us here to cover up his real purpose and attack other places in the northern Xianbei or Liangzhou."

His analysis made Zhu Zhenliang very satisfied: "The most likely ones are Liangzhou Xihai County and Xianbei Beijing County. These two places are adjacent to the Xiongnu, and their combat power is relatively weak. If I were them, I would definitely choose to attack here. "

It is not Zhu's army that is stationed in Xihai County, but Beijing County is now stationed by recruits.These two places are very likely to become the foothold of the Xiongnu's counterattack.

"Father, Changsheng, I think they are more likely to choose Xihai County." Zhu Zhengbei said carefully, "The Xiongnu lost [-]% and lost so many cattle and sheep. They have already shown signs of decline in this battle, and now they not only need to regain their position, but also to find allies. They contacted the Qiang people from the Western Navy and let them send troops, which is killing two birds with one stone."

Zhu Zhenliang tugged at his beard and said, "With the strength of the Xiongnu's heavily armored soldiers, if we concentrate on attacking one city, the Western Navy may not be able to keep it."

Zhu Dingbei said, "I think they are more likely to attack Beijing County."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Both Zhu Zhenliang and Zhu Zhengbei obviously favored Xihai County. Hearing what Zhu Dingbei said, they couldn't help staring at the map of Beijing County and thinking about whether they had missed something.

Zhu Dingbei glanced at Ning Heng, who was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Father, brother, Xihai County is not the best choice for the Xiongnu to contact the Qiang people. Just look here." His finger was on Wusun Kingdom The previous position is a little bit: "Since the fall of Wusun, the Qiangs and the Huns have fought here repeatedly. Today, one-third of Wusun's land has been snatched by the Qiangs from the Huns. The land where their land borders has already gone to the north. It is no longer like before, separated by Liangzhou, Cheshi Tribe, and Wusun."

Zhu Zhenliang clasped his hands together and sighed: "I actually forgot this place! Yes, compared to crossing Liangzhou to find the alliance with the Qiang people, although Wusun is farther away, it saves a lot of trouble."

Zhu Dingbei said in a deep voice: "The Qiang people are standing still now, but it does not mean that they have not reached a consensus with the Xiongnu. I suspect that they have reached an agreement with the Qiang people through Wusun shortly after the war. In the future, when they send troops to Beijing County, the Qiang people will definitely surprise them. From Xiping County in Liangzhou, take Jincheng directly."

Zhu Zhenliang frowned, "The envoy of Dajing has already gone to the south, and I don't know if he has persuaded the Panyue Shan Kingdom not to join in the fun, otherwise, it will be very bad for us to raise troops in the three realms."

Zhu Dingbei said: "I'm afraid that the Qiang and the Huns still have cards that we don't have..."

Seeing that Zhu Dingbei preferred to form an alliance with the Xiongnu, Qiang and Nanman for the Dajing, Zhu Zhenliang and Zhu Zhengbei looked at each other.What exactly is the hole card that Changsheng said?Could it be that the Xiongnu were willing to bleed a lot in order to form an alliance?After all, unlike the last time when the three parties sent troops to seek Dajing, Dajing was at a disadvantage and might be divided by them.Right now, Dajing has an absolute advantage. The Xiongnu can lure the southern border, and their Dajing is equally generous. Why did the southern border choose the Qiang or the Huns?

Assuming that if you swallow the Huns, you will deal with them later, as long as you don't convince Panyue Shan.

Not to mention whether Dajing had the ability to destroy the Xiongnu, even if he could, it would take a few years and it would not be easy to do.However, the Huns and the Southern Territory, one south and one north, have no intersection with each other. If they want to die, it should be the Qiang people who have such a sense of crisis. Dajing promised to give the Southern Territory a chance to coexist peacefully. The Qiang people are right.

Seeing that the father and brother were puzzled, Zhu Dingbei and Ning Heng looked at each other, pondered for a moment before saying: "Father, have you heard of the Dajing imperial treasure?"

"Treasure?"

Zhu Zhenliang was surprised: "Isn't that all nonsense? Could it be that this treasure really existed, and it fell into the hands of the Huns?!"

Zhu Zhengbei had never heard of Bao Zangyi, so he looked at them suspiciously.Zhu Dingbei gave his elder brother a peaceful look, and then explained: "There is indeed this treasure, and part of it is in the hands of the Huns."

After thinking for a while, he still told the two of them the true face of the treasure. Zhu Zhenliang and his son were dumbfounded.

Treasure map?

Dajing Jinshan Yinshan Iron Mine, etc. are all included? !

How can it be!That was the treasure that the Taizu Emperor had had since the Empress Dowager Taizu. How did the ancestors manage to hold all the gold and silver in the world?How did they determine it?And how did it fail to attract any commotion and rumors?Just imagine, to confirm these mines, it is necessary to send many people to search and investigate. Even if all the staff of the Dajing Ministry of Industry are dispatched, it is impossible to complete this task in the hands of a generation.

So, how could there be no news about it?Judging from the admonitions left by the ancestors of his Zhu family, the ancestors did not know the true appearance of this treasure.

Incredible!

But what Zhu Dingbei said next surprised Zhu Zhenliang and his son even more: "Not only Dajing, but also the Xiongnu, Qiang, and the southern border are probably also in the treasure map. And this part may be in the hands of the Xiongnu. Therefore, they That’s why they sent troops to help the Xiongnu at any cost.”

This is the result of several discussions between Zhu Dingbei and Ning Heng.

This seems too whimsical, and the possibility is slim, but after all the impossibilities are ruled out, the truth that falls out of the water is often unbelievable and reasonable.

The last time the Xiongnu, Qiang, Southern and Barbarian allied forces entered Dajing Palace, at that time he and Ning Heng guessed that the lost treasure map was in the hands of the Xiongnu.However, what they guessed at the time was that what was drawn in the treasure map should be the missing Liangzhou mines, so they encouraged the Qiang people and the southern border to encroach on the land of Dajing.

But when they knew the origin of Zhen Feihe and the ancestors of the Ning family, and clarified the blood relationship between the Hun King and Zhen Feihe, they had to think deeply.

Since the Xiongnu were able to rely on the treasure map to develop several mines in their own land in recent years, does it mean that the treasure map is more terrifying than they imagined, even including several neighboring countries of Dajing , including Qiang, including the southern border, and even Dongyi.If this is the case, the Xiongnu is equivalent to holding a trump card in their hands, which is enough to make these enemy countries flock to it.

Zhu Zhengbei was so shocked by this conjecture that he couldn't recover. Zhu Zhenliang's expression was distorted for a moment, and he stared at his youngest son and Ning Heng for a while, before he said with difficulty: "You guys know so clearly, could it be that... the treasure is from the beginning to the end? Is it in the hands of the Ning family?"

"……It is."

Zhu Dingbei paused, but decided to tell the truth.

Zhu Zhengbei couldn't find Bei now. Zhu Zhenliang's face turned red and white, and he found his voice after a while: "Who else knows about this matter? You know, if the news spreads, the Ning family and Zhu family, Your Majesty Not even one!"

Just look at how the Xiongnu can use the treasure map to make the Qiang people and the Nanmans obey, and you can see how tempting the treasure is.Their Zhu family originally held military power, and the Ning family was even richer than an enemy. Now that the two families are tied together because of the marriage between Zhu Dingbei and Ning Heng, the emperor must have been very jealous. , God, if you think about it with your toes, you know that they and the royal family are bound to die!

Zhu Dingbei reassured: "We never told anyone, and no one will know about it."

Zhu Zhengbei still couldn't help asking what was in the treasure map, and Zhu Dingbei casually spit out several mines, all of which were well-known mines that had been developed by Dajing in the past few years.In the end, he downplayed: "These are all in the treasure map, less than one percent."

Zhu Zhengbei: "..."

Zhu Zhenliang: "..."

Zhu Zhenliang solemnly said: "Son, you must hide it well!"

Don't show your feet, and don't leave it to your children and grandchildren, otherwise...he can almost imagine the day when the Zhu family and the Ning family will lose their sons and grandchildren.
