Temujin was overjoyed when he heard this. Conquering the Han Dynasty was something he had to accomplish, so the more internal strife the Han people had, the happier he would naturally be.
"You Han people should continue to fight among themselves. When you are almost exhausted, it will be the day when my Huns cavalry will go south." Temujin thought to himself, and then he couldn't help but think of giving it to Qin Hao.
"Qin Hao, the humiliation you inflicted on this Chanyu, one day the Japanese Chanyu will definitely repay you double the humiliation, and return it to all the Han people." Temujin thought bitterly in his heart.
Seeing Temujin's secretly happy expression, Hu Zhao knew what he was thinking without even thinking, and he also sneered in his heart.
"Those who are not of my race must have different minds. Sure enough, all the barbarians have the same character, and they all covet our great mountains and rivers."
Although Hu Zhao was angry in his heart, his expression remained unchanged and he continued: "After the Yellow Turbans were defeated, they huddled in the land of Guandong and established the Ming Empire. Although the Ming Dynasty now occupies a large area, its military strength is unprecedentedly weak and it is difficult to defend it for a long time. The Han Dynasty
Reunification is just around the corner. Temujin Chanyu, do you think this is good news?"
Temujin's face suddenly stiffened, and he forced a smile and said: "This, haha, this is really... good news!"
This is naturally not good news for Temujin. He hopes that the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty will fight for decades so that he can profit from it. It is not in the interests of the Huns to reunify the Han Dynasty so quickly.
"Chanyu, you don't seem happy?" Hu Zhao said with a joking face.
Temujin finally responded at this time. Hu Zhao's trip must have a purpose, and he was not here to tell him any good news.
"Sir, what are you going to do?" Temujin said angrily.
Hu Zhao smiled calmly and said slowly: "Chanyu, please calm down. I believe that Shanyu, like all of us, does not want the Ming Dynasty to be destroyed so soon, right?"
"What?" Temujin's pupils narrowed and he said in surprise: "You are from a hundred families?"
All the generals in the camp were also shocked. After the Yellow Turban Uprising, hundreds of families had already turned from the dark to the bright, and this dark force that has existed for hundreds of years is really difficult to become famous.
Temujin originally had the idea of recruiting Hu Zhao, but now he really doesn't dare to think about it. He doesn't even want to have anything to do with Baijia, because this power is too mysterious and dangerous.
The big man was careless and was crippled; the yellow scarf was careless and was crippled.
If the Huns were too involved, they might have been exploited without even knowing what happened. Temujin secretly thought.
At this thought, Temujin's eyes became sharp, and he looked at Hu Zhao warily, but Hu Zhao didn't care, and chuckled: "Hu Zhao, the leader of the Legalists, has met Temujin Chanyu." Temujin was secretly shocked. He thought Hu Zhao was just a disciple of the Hundred Schools, but he didn't expect that he was actually the leader of the Legal School.
It seems that the Xiongnu has been targeted by the hidden forces within the Han people, but it is not that easy to take advantage of the Xiongnu. Temujin said sincerely.
Temujin knew that the Han people were very scheming, and when he saw Hu Zhao looking like he was sure of himself, Temujin quickly calmed down and said calmly:
"It turns out that sir is here to bring reinforcements for the Ming Dynasty. Since it's so straightforward, why do you need to be mysterious?"
Hu Zhao was relieved to hear that Temujin directly mentioned the Ming Dynasty instead of the Yellow Turbans. This showed that Temujin also recognized the role of the Ming Dynasty and would never see the Ming Dynasty being easily destroyed by the Han.
The plan is done! Hu Zhao thought.
Hu Zhao looked at Temujin with a smile on his face and said meaningfully: "The Shan Yu's words are wrong. I am just discussing a fact with Chen Lun. As for whether Shan Yuling will lead the Huns' cavalry to go south, let's discuss it with me."
What does this outsider do?"
A trace of fear flashed in Temujin's eyes, and he didn't know how to respond.
Tuo Lei on one side stood up and said in a deep voice: "You just want to mobilize our Huns army with empty words. Sir, you are taking it too much for granted."
Tuo Leiye's implication was actually that he wanted benefits. He knew how rich the Yellow Turbans were, and once the benefits were obtained, it was not up to the Xiongnu to decide whether to send troops or not.
Hu Zhao smiled calmly, then cupped his hands and said, "This general may have misunderstood. I have already told you that this trip was just to tell Shan Yu some good news. Now that the words have been brought, I will leave."
"Wait a minute, do you think I, the Huns, are you, a big man? Come and leave as soon as you say?" Tuo Lei shouted.
Hu Zhao turned around, looked at Temujin with a half-smile, and asked: "Why, Shanyu wants to keep me?"
Temujin stared at Hu Zhao for a long time, and finally smiled and said: "Of course not, sir, please help yourself."
After leaving the Hun king's tent, Hu Zhao's eyes instantly turned cold.
"The Huns have such powerful figures. It seems that there will be no peace in Northern Xinjiang in the future." Hu Zhao murmured to himself.
In the king's tent, Temujin's eyes became extremely cold, and he immediately ordered: "Send the order, I will lead an army of 200,000 people southward in the near future, and order all ministries to prepare."
When the generals heard this, they were immediately in an uproar. If the Xiongnu wanted to go south, they would not be able to bypass Yanmen Pass. However, the shadow of the defeat a year ago was still hanging in the hearts of everyone, and they really did not want to become enemies with the Yanmen Army again so soon.
Tuo Lei stood up and asked: "Chanyu, didn't you say before that 'you will never go south until you unify the grassland'?"
"Don't worry, this trip south is not about fighting. I am just leading the army to go to Yanmen Pass." Temujin said calmly.
Does it cost 200,000 troops to transfer?
All the Huns generals didn't believe it, but Temujin's prestige was so high that no one could object to the decision he made.
But what no one expected was that this time they really just... made a transfer!
Luoyang, Imperial Palace.
Liu Hong looked angrily at the civil and military officials of the court, and roared: "That traitor Zhang Sheng dares to call himself emperor without authorization. I will not give up this time. Which beloved prince is willing to lead an army to fight against thieves?"
The ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but no one stood up. Finally, Wang Yun stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. Our army's food reserves are about to be exhausted, and it is no longer enough to support the consumption of the army."<
/p>
Liu Hong's face suddenly turned red. He only cared about winning or losing the battle, and he didn't care about such trivial matters as food and grass.
Although they defeated the Yellow Turbans this time, the Han Dynasty himself was also severely damaged. He lost more than 500,000 troops and horses, and nearly 10 million shi of food and grass.
Although there are now 400,000 Han troops in Sizhou, they are basically the troops of the major princes. Among them, Dong Zhuo alone accounts for 200,000, and the central army of the imperial court has less than 100,000 left.
Liu Hong wanted to continue the war, so he had the idea of weakening the military power of the princes. Unfortunately, the Han princes were all elite and naturally would not be easily fooled.
As for taking back the military power from the princes, Liu Hong didn't dare to think about it now. Previously, he used the method of promotion to take away the military power from Liu Yan and Dong Zhuo. As a result, all the military commanders were in danger.
If Liu Hong still dares to do this now, he is really seeking his own death. The general will definitely overthrow him and establish a new emperor.
