I am not in the position of Zen [Three Kingdoms]

Yu Jin led five hundred soldiers of Huben into Dingxiang County and temporarily stationed in a town sixty miles away in Zhongling County.How to lead people to bring thunderbolts, iron caltrops and other important defense materials into the besieged Zhongling County, Yu Jin was in trouble.

The local county magistrate comforted him and said: "Young general, don't worry. I will send someone to Zhongling County to deliver the letter. At that time, we will use the flag as a sign. We will attack back and forth inside and outside the city to disperse the Xiongnu cavalry and take the opportunity to bring supplies into the city."

Yu Jin wondered, "The Xiongnu are eyeing Zhongling County covetously, and Haidongqing is hovering in the air to give an early warning. How do you send a letter in?"

The county magistrate said unhurriedly: "Speaking of which, it is the only one. We have a yamen servant who raises a very intelligent and flexible civet cat. Their families live in two places. He is on duty here, and his parents and wife live in Zhongling. The county sells steamed buns. This raccoon cat is very active, and will go back and forth between the two places every two days. The government servants try to use cats to communicate, and they have never lost letters. When I write a letter, I hide it in the collar around the cihua cat’s neck , let him take it with him.”

Yu Jin couldn't help laughing: "The world is so big, there are no surprises. It is an eye-opener for me to have a cat deliver a letter today." He asked again: "I see that there are few guards in this town. If you send troops to follow me, where is the place?" The army is empty. The Xiongnu took the opportunity to fight, but what to do, just send guides."

The county magistrate waved his hand and didn't care much: "It doesn't matter. Over the years, as long as the surrounding counties have not been captured, the Xiongnu will not dare to invade our town. They will withdraw their troops and will give priority to the flat and wide grassland. If they attack our town , will definitely be chased and beaten by the generals of Zhongling County. Our town is high and narrow, and there are many catapults in the town, which is a natural temptation for the enemy for a hundred years. We delay our troops. When the reinforcements arrive, the Xiongnu will be blocked in the middle, just like making dumplings, allowing us to catch them all in one go."

Although Yu Jin is young, he is very cautious: "Even so, it is better to be careful."

The county magistrate smiled and said: "There are many traps outside our town. If the little general is worried, then I will place the barbed caltrops you brought near the traps outside the town, so that nothing will go wrong."

Two days later, at the appointed time, Yu Jin led his troops to raid the northwest corner of the Xiongnu from the rear, and the Han army in the city also opened the city gate that had been closed for many days.Zhao Yun was still dressed in white and armor, and he took the lead and went to meet Yu Jin.Zhao Yun is not only good at using long spears, but also a first-class shooter.He pulled the strong bow, drew the string to the full, and shot arrows "swish" at the Xiongnu's standard bearer.The flag bearer fell in response, and the rest of the flag bearers were all startled.

Yu Jin wore a bright armor that was impenetrable to swords and guns, a steel helmet on his head, and a three-pointed double-edged knife. The knife was as fast as lightning, and he was brave enough to cut a bloody path among the Huns' chaotic army.

The two armies of the Han army fought closer and closer, and after meeting in one place, Zhao Yun didn't want to fight, and shouted: "Bring the gong to withdraw the troops, and I will stop the rear!"

Yu Jin shouted: "General, I'm with you!" After that, he took away the three-pointed and two-edged sword.Pull out the long bow from the bow bag, put on the arrow, and shoot at the Huns who are chasing up.His arrow skills were extremely accurate, and he shot at the little boss. This distance was almost a hundred hits, and the Huns fell in response.Zhao Yun showed admiration on his face, and thought: This young general who came from Beijing is brave, even his archery skills are superb.

Back in the city, Yu Jin presented the equipment he had brought to the prefect of Taiyuan County.The prefect of Taiyuan County personally tested the power of the "Thunderbolt" and was very pleasantly surprised.He made inferences and thought of a new usage: "Go to the veteran of the trebuchet and let him try how far he can throw this thing with the trebuchet. Let's try to see if we can blow up the Great Chanyu of the Huns."

Yu Jin also brought the latest information: "We received a letter from General Lu in the town, and he personally brought more than a thousand elite cavalry to rescue. It will take two or three days."

The prefect of Taiyuan County was overjoyed: "It's so good. We don't have many arrows, stones and other things in the city. When reinforcements come, we must give it a go and drive the Xiongnu out of Dingxiang County."

Three days later, the soldiers guarding the tall building saw the flag of the Han army from a distance, and hurriedly raised the flag to remind them.The elite soldiers in the city were all ready to go, and the Taiyuan County prefect ordered: "Attack! Catapults are ready! Arrows are ready!"

"One, two, three! Throw stones! Shoot arrows!"

With long-range trebuchets, "thunderbolts" were thrown into the central army of the Huns.According to the order of the Taiyuan County prefect, he threw it at Da Shanyu's chariot without thinking.At the same time, the Han army fired all arrows.

Da Shanyu was furious, and asked King Youxian: "Didn't you use your wealth and life to live in Baoding and Xiangjun? There is no such thing?!"

However, the Great Chanyu was doomed not to get an answer. King Youxian had his throat pierced by a flying iron piece, and he could no longer utter any rebuttals.

Da Shanyu turned pale with fright, quickly ordered the guards around him to set up shields, and ordered Hugh to disrupt the formation.However, the Huns had already suffered from the ammunition, and they were afraid and lost their positions.The men panicked and shouted:

"Da Shanyu, it's not good! Reinforcements from the Han family are coming from behind!"

"Look at the banner, it's the killing god Lu Bu!"

Shan Yu said angrily, "I'm afraid he will do something, our elites are here!" Knowing that there was no way out, he shouted, "Whoever dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

Lv Bu, with a golden crown on his head and a battle robe of flowers, has come to the rear of the Huns, raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and said loudly: "Brothers, the Huns' troops are ahead, and the land is worth silver and land. Good head, everyone, don't miss the opportunity to make meritorious service!"

The Han army excitedly said: "Swear to follow the general!"

Lu Brown laughed and said: "Don't let one go, follow me!"

"Come on!"

At this time, the arrows in the city were exhausted, and the prefect of Taiyuan County ordered the city wall to be lowered. He and Zhao Yun each led their troops and rushed out from the left and right wings respectively, forming a siege.

The battle lasted from noon to dusk.When the setting sun was like blood, the Han army blew the gong to retreat.In this campaign, more than [-] enemies were wiped out, and more than [-] live horses were captured. The Huns' Da Shanyu and Youxian King were all killed by thunderbolts.Lü Bu and Zhao Yun led hundreds of elite soldiers who still had spare strength, and chased and killed the Huns all the way to Yunzhong County. Even if they fought alone and went deep into the enemy camp, they killed [-] heads of the Huns and captured five of the Huns' little kings alive.

However, the Han army fought continuously, and there were countless wounded soldiers, and they were already very tired.Lu Bu wanted to seize the opportunity to regain Yunzhong County, but it was obvious that the soldiers were unable to fight anymore, so they had to stay in Dingxiang County for the time being.

The great victory of the Han army and the revival of the country's prestige this time is a great event in the past century.When the news reached Beijing, everyone who heard it was delighted.The people in Beijing also took to the streets as if it was Chinese New Year, talking about it.Many people gathered in the teahouse and heard the story of Huo Qubing, Wei Qing and Li Guangda fighting the Huns in the past.Liu Xie was also greatly relieved, and he gave unambiguous rewards to the meritorious soldiers, and the tax-free land and silver were rewarded like flowing water.

However, many people in the court were dissatisfied with this, and there were many discussions: "How can the tax-free land be given to these rural peasants?"

However, a few months ago, they were unable to prevent Liu Xie from allocating the land of Sili Prefecture to meritorious soldiers, and they still cannot stop it now.

Liu Xie has long been concerned: Bingzhou's land output is far less than that of the Central Plains, and even rent collection is insignificant.It is better to waive the land tax, lest the people feel that farming is not worthwhile and make the fields barren.If Xun You and Chen Gong were not worried about the dissatisfaction of other states and counties, Liu Xie would have directly issued an edict to waive the land tax of the three barren regions of Bingzhou, Youzhou and Liangzhou.

At the same time, Liu Xie issued an edict to recruit people to move to Dingxiang County, reward land reclamation, and gave many benefits such as house allocation, tax-free land allocation, and free use of official cattle for the first year.In addition, the performance of recruiters is evaluated by the number of recruits, and their salaries are determined by performance.

After the defeat of the Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Xianbei quickly withdrew with their spoils, seeing that the situation was not good.The Xiongnu themselves were unable to assemble a large army, and then deal a large-scale blow to the Han army.One month later, Yu Fuluo, the son of the old Shanyu, led a crowd to Dingxiang County to complain about his grievances, and to submit a petition.

Lu Bu had no right to dispose of the surrender, so he quickly sent someone to send the surrender and the Huns' envoys to Beijing.

The prefect of Taiyuan County said: "The Xiongnu will not cheat, why don't they order them to lay down their weapons and let us tie them up to show our sincerity."

Zhang Yang said: "Prefect, absolutely not. If this is the case, they should have been forced to leave if they had the intention of surrendering. I think they first returned the five thousand Han Chinese who were held as slaves. There were men and women who came. Young or old, there should be sincerity."

Zhao Yundao: "General Huo Qubing once plotted against the Xiongnu for our own use in the past, so it is not a bad idea for us to learn from his strategy. Since Yu Fuluo is the son of the old Shanyu, he should have great prestige. It can be used. It’s just that we don’t know the internal situation of the Xiongnu, and we don’t know whether what he said is true or not, so we must be careful of false surrender.”

"Yu Fuluo is not valued among the Xiongnu, so it is not surprising that he has a heart for the Han." On the battlefield that day, Lu Bu had already seen Zhao Yun's unreasonable courage, and he was very fond of this martial arts prefect of Changshan. Pay attention to.Lu Bu didn't say a word before, but now he said slowly to Zhao Yun: "According to our current information from the Xiongnu, he said Xubu Guduhou was elected by everyone as the new Chanyu, and the new Chanyu has the intention to kill him, so it shouldn't be Fake."

"However, generals, the Huns are capricious. Since they attached themselves to me as a vassal a hundred years ago, the scene of betrayal and surrender has been staged many times." Gao Shun frowned and said: "The general thinks that even if the Huns are They can't relax their vigilance even if they really surrender. They asked to surrender this time, but they just wanted to occupy Yunzhong County. It seems that the fiefdom he requested is in Yunzhong. If the imperial court accepts his surrender form, then our Han people's land, cattle, sheep and Wasn’t the grain plundered in vain? How will the blood debts killed by the Huns be recovered?”

Liu Xie, who summoned the Xiongnu envoy in Beijing, also considered this issue for the first time.I thought the Xiongnu's face was really big, even if they asked to surrender, their posture was so high.Regardless of the courtiers' obstruction, he immediately rejected the Xiongnu's surrender form, and said coldly: "Since you have lost the battle, you should show your sincerity and let Yu Fuluo come in person, otherwise the battle will have to continue. This idea is presented I despise gold and silver, take them back and give them to him!"

After driving away the Huns envoys, the ministers kept admonishing them, only a few main combat factions jumped out to support Liu Xie's decision, thinking that the right party should take the opportunity to exterminate the Huns.

The main peace faction believes that the Han army is no longer able to pursue the Huns, so why continue to waste manpower, material and financial resources?It's better to accept Yu Fuluo's request to surrender and assign him to Yunzhong County as a buffer zone between the Han army and Xubu Gudu Hou Shanyu, so that the border can rest assured.

Liu Xie sneered and said, "Ministers only think about temporary comfort, but they never thought that the blood feud in the frontier has not been avenged, and they accept these Huns so easily. What do the bloody border residents think? What do the Huns who surrendered think?" Think? How do you know that the Huns are not secretly laughing at the big man, anyway, they have already got cattle, sheep, land, money and food, so what about being a vassal on the surface?"

He glanced at the official surnamed Wang who was the happiest just now, and said harshly: "Wang Yanqing, if it were you, your parents and wife would all be killed by robbers, and your savings for many years would be wiped out by robbers. Regardless of the past, let him live by your side, what do you think?"

"This..." The official surnamed Wang was dumbfounded.

Liu Xie left in a huff, and then wrote a letter to Lu Bu, stating in detail the conditions for accepting the surrender of the Huns, saying that if the same cannot be met, there will be no peace.
