Although Zhang Yi carefully entered Yuanmeng's territory, it was impossible for him to go up and contact Maodun all at once.
There will definitely be no shortage of Temujin's people around Mao Dun. If they are not careful, they may not be able to achieve their goals. Even if Mao Dun is to protect himself, he will have to kill Zhang Yi and the others.
Temujin showed his loyalty.
Therefore, the first person Zhang Yi came into contact with was Hu Hanxie. In his early years, this person was forced to leave the Han Dynasty due to a power struggle. After staying in the Han Dynasty for several years, he returned to the grasslands.
However, when he returned to the grassland again, the Xiongnu at that time no longer existed, and only Yuan Meng remained.
Because Hu Hanxie had lived among the Han for several years, his understanding of the Han must be unmatched by other Yuanmeng people. It was precisely because of this that Kublai Khan always wanted to absorb this man for his own use.
It's a pity that Hu Hanxie is also one of the representatives of the old aristocratic forces of the Xiongnu, and he follows Maodun closely.
However, even so, due to his experience, Hu Hanxie has always helped Yuan handle some matters related to the Han people, such as business matters between Han people.
Although Li Xiang did not openly support direct trade with the grassland, he did not prevent those merchants from conducting business with the grassland. There are some things that cannot be stopped by just stopping them. All Li Xiang needs to control is some things.
Important supplies flowed into the grassland.
As for luxuries such as tea and silk, those merchants can spend as much as they like!
It is precisely because of this that Huhanxie has relatively more contact with the Han people.
If Zhang Yi contacts him first, on the one hand, it will be safer than contacting Mao Dun directly. On the other hand, he can also contact their real target Mao Dun through this person later.

Throughout the ages, heroes have never found a place like Sun Zhongmou. On the dance pavilion and singing stage, the wind and rain always blow away the wind.
The grass and trees in the setting sun, the ordinary lanes and streets, were where the slaves of humanity once lived. I think of those days when we were brave and powerful, and could swallow thousands of miles like a tiger.
Yuan Jia hastily sealed the wolf in Xu, and won a hasty visit to the north. Forty-three years ago, I still remember the hope, and the Yangzhou Road was on fire.
But looking back, under the Buddha and Li Temple, there is a sacred crow drum. Who can ask: Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?
A poem written by Xin Qiji, "Yong Yu Le· Nostalgia for the Past in Beigu Pavilion, Jingkou", describes the changes in the world's strife and the sadness of corpses wrapped in horse leather.
In the second year of Shenlong, when the Jin Dynasty was first established, His Majesty Emperor Shenlong Li Xiang went on a tour to Yongzhou. After meeting with a number of important officials in Yongzhou, including Yang Xuangan, Li Xiang immediately inspected the three major institutions established in Yongzhou.
granary.
Of course, due to the actual location of these three granaries, Li Xiang only visited two in the end and did not visit each of the three.
Among the three major granaries in Yongzhou, one is located in the west and can quickly supply grain and grass to Liangzhou when needed. One is located in the south of Yongzhou, and the other is located in the east of Yongzhou and is mainly responsible for supplying grain to Guandong.
Supply food and grass.
However, after the previous war to conquer Shu, these three major granaries were almost at their lowest point. Fortunately, last year's autumn grains were partially replenished. But if you want to fill the granaries again, you still need to accumulate a
Only a year or two will do!
What Li Xiang wanted to see was not mainly the grain and grass stored in the warehouse. After experiencing the consumption of the last battle, he knew the amount of grain and grass in the warehouse.
What Li Xiang really wants to look at is the measures taken to prevent fire and moisture in the granary. This is the most important thing. If the granary is filled with grain and grass in the future, but in the end the water accidentally leaks out, or it simply becomes moldy.
, there is really no place to cry.
In troubled times, food and grass were too important for him to be careless.
After inspecting the most important granary, they simply conducted overt and covert inspections in several towns and counties in Yongzhou, and then it was time to move towards their real destination.
Under the vast sky, 10,000 Jin iron cavalry horses and banners were flapping in the wind. The withered, yellow and stern faces of men faced the wind, gritted their teeth, and advanced towards the south.
When they were about to enter the border of Bashu, the first autumn rain fell and hit the soldiers, soaking their uniforms and cooling their pockets, but their chests felt extremely hot.
In the cold rain, Li Xiang raised his head, squinted his eyes, and shouted loudly: "The whole army stops and sets up camp."
"His Majesty……"
Wang Zhongsi patted his horse with his legs and stepped forward slowly: "The terrain here is complicated and it is not suitable to camp. I'm afraid... bad people will attack."
"It's these rats I've been waiting for."
Li Xiang smiled coldly, dismounted from his horse, went to a hillside, and looked down: "We have been traveling for a whole day and night, and we are tired of people and horses. How can we not rest? In this autumn rainy weather, it doesn't matter if the clothes of the soldiers are cold, but it must not be cold.
Heart."
"My subordinate understands."
Food, grass and baggage arrived one after another, and the army set up camp on the spot. Within half an hour, smoke from cooking fires rose in the mid-air where the autumn rain fell.
Inside the military tent.
Li Xiang, Li Jing, Wei Yang, Liu Bowen, Wang Zhongsi and many other generals gathered around the stove, spread out the marching plan, observed and discussed.
Although Wang Zhongsi has a small position, at least compared to the remaining people, Li Xiang will summon him whenever something happens.
This made Wang Zhongsi extremely flattered.
Shortly after entering Shen, thick darkness descended on the sky, twilight spread, and among the army, there were many torches and war horses neighing.
"Your Majesty, a large number of unidentified people have entered Sizhou in recent days and are trying their best to get closer to Yongzhou. Many of them have even entered Yongzhou. I'm afraid those who come here are not good-natured!"
"If he has a bad intention, these days will be his last chance!" Liu Bowen pointed at several places around him and talked.
The geographical adjustment from Yongzhou to the land of Bashu is such a situation. There are quite a few places where ambush can be set up, and it is also a place where small-scale troops can set up ambushes, so there are relatively more places.
Therefore, if there are some people who really want to harm Li Xiang, the next journey is indeed their best opportunity.
Especially this time, in order to save manpower, Li Xiang did not mobilize too many troops but concentrated on selecting elite soldiers and horses for protection. Although elite soldiers and horses have stronger combat effectiveness than ordinary soldiers and horses, they are not as capable as ordinary soldiers.
Horses scattering around like that to search, this is an inherent disadvantage in numbers.
Secondly, due to the favorable geographical location in Shuzhong, except for Jinyiwei who had a certain strength there, the strength of other families there was extremely weak.
Therefore, once you enter Shuzhong, the opponent's chances will be even less!
Taking all aspects into consideration, only the last section of the road is left, which is when the other party is most likely to take action.
