Soon, King Loufan's envoys were all brought to Yizong.
Of course, after being held with swords and searched all over his body - ever since Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, it has never been possible for someone to bring weapons and come in front of the commander-in-chief of an army.
"On the orders of King Loufan of the Xiongnu, we worship the great Han Hussar General Dongcheng Houyi Gong in person!"
After being taken to the tent, the men knelt down and paid homage.
"Thank you for your hard work, envoys..." Yi Zong gently picked up a tea cup and took a sip, with some anger flashing in his eyes.
Judging from their appearance, accent, behavior and even their dress, these 'envoys from King Loufan' told Yi Zong unmistakably that these people were traitors and scum who surrendered to the Huns and became their lackeys!
He barely managed to hold back the anger in his heart.
From the age of sixteen, Liu Che took him under his wing to train him.
What kind of emperor there is, of course, can have what kind of cronies.
The King of Chu had such a thin waist that many people died of starvation in the palace.
Qin Jun likes warriors, and the whole country is full of strong men.
Since ancient times, the emperor's preferences can easily radiate to the eunuchs, ministers, and attendants around him.
Then, through these people, they influence the ministers of the DPRK and China, the direction of public opinion and the rotation of policies.
Yi Zong stayed with Liu Che for more than a year and nearly two years.
It can be said that his three views were shaped by Liu Che himself.
Under such circumstances, Yi Zong is actually a completely angry young man.
After nearly a year in Yunzhong County, Yi Zong already knew that the biggest enemy of the Han army on the Great Wall defense line was not actually the Huns' cavalry, but the spies who colluded with the Huns and the traitors who led the way for the Huns.
.
Without these people, the Huns cavalry could not even find their way into the Great Wall.
He clenched his fists and took a deep breath. He barely suppressed the urge to order these guys to be dragged out and beheaded.
"This general is the hussar general appointed by the emperor, Dongchenghou Zong!" Yi Zong asked calmly: "Do you have any message from King Loufan that I would like you to convey to me?"
A man in the middle of the delegation looked at Yi Zong's appearance in surprise.
This hussar general of the Han family, Marquis Dongcheng, is too young!
Younger than he imagined.
But if you think about it carefully, Liu has always relied heavily on his relatives.
Decades of hard work by others are not even worth a night spent with the emperor by someone's sister.
Relying on nepotism, many people can easily reach the top of the hierarchy at an age when others are still struggling.
"Young brat..." the man cursed in his mind.
He has a deep hatred for his relatives, aristocrats and the privileged class.
Because he remembered clearly that six years ago, when he was a county captain in Beidi County, the county magistrate of the chapter where he served was vacant. Originally, he had a great chance.
Unfortunately, a nephew of a maternal relative suddenly parachuted over from Chang'an.
Interrupt his promotion path!
From then on, he hated his relatives and nobles.
At this moment, when he saw Yi Zong sitting at the top, an unknown fire arose in his heart.
But now...
He looked at himself and saw that the Xiongnu's defeat was imminent.
He is so lucky to be able to save his life as a small surrendered minister!
He was simply not qualified to use that power to despise and hate that young relative of the Han family.
To the point that if someone stretches out a finger, he can crush himself to death!
This made him feel very scared.
He reluctantly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please allow me to report: King Loufan has long admired the general's high righteousness and the benevolence of the Holy Emperor. He always has the thought of returning to righteousness, and the general's heroic demeanor.
Sun Wu's method was to defeat the Lan family in one battle. King Loufan was impressed by the heroic appearance of the general and the majesty of the king's army. After our advice, he is willing to use his entire clan of more than 9,000 cavalry to serve as the general's vanguard and destroy King Youxian of the Xiongnu.
Under Ma Yi..."
As he spoke, he handed over a letter of surrender written on parchment.
Yi Zong listened and was not surprised.
The decades-long war between the Han and the Huns was not just about traitors and traitors in the Han Dynasty who went to the Huns, betrayed their country for glory, and betrayed their motherland and nation?
On the Xiongnu side, there were many nobles lining up, crying and shouting, wanting to return to Yiyi.
Today, among the ranks of the Han family, there are three Xiongnu Guiyihou.
Even the trigger for the Han-Hungarian War eighteen years ago was Zhang Ni, a noble of the Xiongnu Chan Yuting, who suddenly led his entire clan to return to the Han Dynasty. As a result, the two countries were at war for three years, with dozens of troops deployed on each other's borders.
Ten thousand.
What's more, the Huns are now deeply surrounded.
The people who lead the bow have been the best at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages since ancient times.
Anyone who is not an idiot would consider surrendering.
After all, the so-called Loufan, Aries, and Zhelan are, to put it nicely, the troika of Shan Yuting, but to put it more unflatteringly, they are actually the three dogs raised by the Jizhu clan of the Xiongnu.
Especially these days, the captured Zhelan nobles have clearly told the Han army that the so-called barbarians are fierce, unafraid of death, bloodthirsty and cruel, and that depends on the occasion and the opponent.
If the opponent is really too strong.
Just like now, it is actually very simple for a tiger to turn into a house cat in one second.
After receiving the letter of surrender from King Lou Fan, Yi Zong opened it and read it.
There is no doubt that this letter of surrender was written by a scholar from the Han Dynasty.
It eloquently boasts about how a bunch of Han troops convinced King Loufan, but how King Loufan admired the saintliness of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty in the past.
Finally, I ended with the sentence "If General Meng will not give up now and will not be despicable for Lou Fan, I will go up and down Lou Fan and be a pioneer for the Han Dynasty...".
Yi Zong read the entire letter, thought for a while, and then said: "How can I believe this if it is empty talk?"
The meaning is obvious.
No matter how fancy your words are, I won't believe them.
If King Lou Fan is sincere, he should get a letter of surrender with enough weight to win the trust of the Han army!
After hearing this, the members of the mission looked at each other. Of course they were not stupid. They knew that even the scoundrels in the market would not believe the empty talk.
If you want to win the trust of the Han army, you have to come up with a proof that is weighty enough to show that you and your masters are indeed willing to surrender and serve as dogs for the Han Dynasty from now on.
Moreover, this proof must be effective immediately and be convincing and recognized by the Han army.
At the very least, he must convince the young Han Dynasty general in front of him.
After thinking for a moment, the envoy in the middle bowed again: "It is normal for the general to have doubts. King Loufan also knows that it is difficult to gain trust without proof. Therefore, we are entrusted with entrusting us to present the defense plan of the Huns' camp and the
Big news!"
The man handed over a map drawn on sheepskin.
Yi Zong took it and looked at it, then threw it aside.
The so-called defense map of the Xiongnu camp looks pretty decent.
But what if it’s fake?
Therefore, this defense map is completely untrustworthy!
Only the so-called ‘big news’ may be used as a reference.
So, Yi Zong said: "What news is it, the messenger might as well tell it directly!"
The man bowed and said: "I dare not deceive the general. Today, King Youxian of the Xiongnu summoned King Aries and King Loufan to discuss the breakout. My lord, King Loufan, asked us to tell the general: Yin Zhixian must come from the due north.
To break through the encirclement, please be careful when the general introduces us!"
When Yi Zong heard this, he stood up immediately.
This news is indeed full of gold!
But break out from Zhengbei?
Is Yin Zhixie crazy?
Not to mention that in the north, there is an army of hussars and the Xiliu Camp watching covetously.
Yin Zhixie wants to lead 30,000 people to break out from here?
Are you here to give someone away?
