At night, Fushi City was completely silent. Except for the soldiers on guard on the turrets of the city wall, everyone else was huddled in the leeward corner or under the eaves with their weapons on their pillows. The battle that lasted for more than ten days made these Han troops too tired. However, this physical fatigue is not the most fatal. What is really fatal is the mental fatigue. They don¡¯t even want to see the sun tomorrow, and they don¡¯t want to see each other again. The desperate Han people came to the city.
The Fushi County Sheriff's Mansion has become the command post of the General of the Second Division. Li Guangli has not had a normal sleep for more than ten days, and anxiety and restlessness have always plagued him. He didn't know how long Fushi City could be defended, let alone what would happen next?
"General, there is a man named He Shidao outside asking to see him." Just when Li Guangli was dejected and restless, a soldier suddenly reported outside the house.
"It's so lateWho is he?" Li Guangli had never heard of the name He Shidao, and he was upset and didn't want to see him.
"I don't know, but this man said he came to save the general's life," the soldier replied outside the house.
"Bring to see me." Li Guangli's voice came from inside the house. It must be said that He Shidao's reasons made Li Guangli very curious, and he successfully met Li Guangli.
"Common people He Shidao pays homage to General Ershi." Soon He Shidao entered the room and bowed to Li Guangli. He was well-dressed and had an outstanding temperament. At first glance, Li Guangli had a very good impression of He Shidao.
"Sir, do you know this general?" Li Guangli took a few steps forward and found that He Shidao was very neatly dressed and looked calm and calm. He did not look like someone from Fushi City at all.
"The general's name is as loud as thunder. Who in the world doesn't know you?" He Shidao had a smile on his face, and he looked like a learned master when he asked and answered.
"Don't say any more polite words, just tell me your purpose." Li Guangli waved his hand. His mood was extremely depressed and he no longer wanted to hear these compliments.
He Shidao straightened his robe and took a few steps forward calmly. When the distance between him and Li Guangli was less than four feet, He Shidao stopped and looked directly at Li Guangli. After a moment of pause, he said leisurely: "The general is about to die soon. Shidao is here to extend his life. And send a great blessing to the general."
"The crime of disrupting the morale of the army is punishable by beheading" Li Guangli half-pulled out the sword from his waist and looked at He Shidao and said.
He Shidao looked at Li Guangli without being affected at all. Instead, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "I, He Shidao, am alone and have lived quietly for more than ten years. Why should I be afraid of death? But the general's wealth will eventually come to naught!"
He Shidao shook his head and said, his tone full of regret. It seems that it can be seen from his words that he is also a person with a story!
"Who sent you?" Li Guangli sheathed his sword. Since He Shidao was not afraid of death, the threat was meaningless.
"The Great Chanyu of the Huns." He Shidao replied without hesitation, with a smile still on his face.
When Li Guangli heard this, he stared at He Shidao with wide eyes. The Xiongnu and the Han had been fighting for hundreds of years, and there were many people who surrendered to each other. At this time, the Xiongnu Chanyu sent people to find Li Guangli. You don't need to listen to what he said next. Li Guangli knew that it must be Uwei who came to persuade him to surrender.
"Even if I die in battle, I will not surrender to the Huns. Go back and tell Uwe that if you have the ability, you can fight in an upright manner." Li Guangli said righteously. Although he had selfish motives and conspiracies, the idea of ??treason and surrendering to the enemy has indeed never been revealed so far. Never before.
"The general misunderstood, so Da Dan came with the sincerity of cooperation, not to recruit the general. Da Chanyu knew that the general was the uncle of His Royal Highness King Changyi, and Da Danyu intended to help King Changyi become the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Changyi The king of Yi is young, so when the time comes, the general will naturally have the final say." He Shidao shook his head and said something that even Li Guangli couldn't react for a long time.
"What do you mean?" Li Guangli was already moved. If he could let the King of Changyi ascend the throne without having to fight with the Xiongnu, Li Guangli would definitely not be able to refuse.
"It seems that the general is indeed a smart man. The meaning of the Great Chanyu is to use the 200,000 Xiongnu army to help the King of Changyi win the throne. From then on, the Xiongnu and the Han will always be a country of brothers, and the two countries will live in peace forever" He Shidao's words were full of temptation, as if a picture of a prosperous and peaceful age was before his eyes.
The Xiongnu and the Han have been at war for hundreds of years, dating back to the Warring States Period. The total number of people killed in the war between the two tribes is no less than ten million, and the hatred has penetrated deeply into the souls of the people of the two tribes. This kind of feud is almost impossible to reconcile. But now the Xiongnu Chanyu Uwei actually made an opinion to Li Guangli that the Han people were taking advantage of him. Uwe not only helped Li Guangli and Liu Kun seize the throne, but was also willing to settle the grudges between the two clans.
"What are your conditions? "Although Li Guangli was tempted, he also knew that there was no free lunch in the world. The Huns had given such a big temptation, and the price that he and Liu Kun had to pay was certainly not small.
"It's very simple. The general only needs to join forces with the Great Chanyu, and a total of 300,000 troops will attack Chang'an. In addition, the King of Joseon will also support you in Youzhou, so it will be easy to capture Chang'an. When His Royal Highness the King of Changyi ascends the throne, he will be the king of Chang'an. Emperor, not only the Great Chanyu will take the initiative to withdraw his troops, but also the King of Korea will withdraw his troops. From then on, the world will truly be at peace. The general and the King of Changyi only need to pay Youzhou to the King of Korea. In addition, Shangjun and Taiyuan County will be the boundary. The area north of the two counties was given to the Great Chanyu, so that the three families would always be brothers and have good relations from generation to generation." He Shidao's words were sincere, and the specific plan included not only the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty, but also the North Korean Wei Youqu.
Li Guangli kept thinking in his mind that everything He Shidao described for him was false if he didn't feel moved. But Li Guangli knew better that if he really joined forces with the Huns to capture Chang'an, what if the Huns regretted it?
"Do you think I, the general, will be fooled by this kind of deception to a three-year-old child?" Li Guangli said, pulling out his sword and bringing the tip of the sword directly to He Shidao's face.
He Shidao did not dodge or avoid, but still looked at Li Guangli calmly.
"A general is a wise man who thinks carefully and carefully" He Shidao spoke slowly, stretched out his fingers to hold the blade of the sword and gently raised it to the side of his cheek.
"The general thinks that even if the Huns take over Chang'an, except for the north of Shuofang Bingzhou, other places will be suitable for the Huns to live? They are a people who can only herd, and the Han Dynasty has a population of tens of millions. These Huns just want to rule. There is nothing they can do. They just want a Han emperor who can be friendly to the two races, and the general and King Changyi are the best candidates. The same is true for North Korea, how many people do they have? The land of Youzhou is enough for them to worry about, even if the entire The Han Dynasty wants to give it up, but even Wei Youqu can't swallow it!"
He Shidao spoke as if he was discussing the classics and Taoism, and every sentence made Li Guangli feel like he was clearing the clouds and seeing the sun. Li Guangli also had to admit that what He Shidao said made sense. Even if the Han Dynasty was in chaos, the vast territory and population could not be ruled by the Huns and Korea, and the Huns were not adapted to life south of the Yellow River. So instead of sinking themselves into the quagmire of the Han Dynasty, they might as well find someone who listens to them to be the ruler of the Han Dynasty, which is the so-called agent in later generations.
Once he figured this out, Li Guangli found that this was indeed a rare opportunity. Now in the Han Dynasty, the army in his hands was almost the most powerful armed force, and once the two foreign invading forces reached an agreement with him, Agreement, then you can play the role of a hero who can turn the tide and support the building from collapse. With such strength, it would be easy to support the king of Changyi as the emperor. When the young king of Changyi ascends the throne, this big man will have the final say himself. Moreover, with the status of King of Changyi, there would be almost no opposition within the Han Dynasty.
Li Guangli also had to admit that Uwei's idea was indeed very powerful. This alone had broken the Huns' consistent thinking. In the past hundreds of years, even when the Huns were at their most powerful, they only harassed border counties and plundered, and all they wanted was cattle, sheep, gold, silver, and slaves. But now Uwei knew how to indirectly control the Han Dynasty by supporting an obedient emperor. The two methods were fundamentally different.
It¡¯s just that Li Guangli didn¡¯t know that this strategy was not what Wu Wei had in mind, but was suggested by He Shidao in front of him. And He Shidao didn't know that Huo Guang actually had the same thoughts about the Xiongnu now, and what Huo Guang did was even one step ahead.
"This matter is too important. Let me think about it for two daysI will reply to Shan Yu in three days." Li Guangli was silent for a long time. In the end, he did not make an immediate decision or refuse anything. Teacher Tao. However, when He Shidao heard the last three words of Li Guangli, he couldn't help but have a confident smile on his face.
"I believe that the general will make a wise decision, so Shidao will be waiting for good news! In order to show his sincerity, Shidao will stay in Fushi City for these three days, and the Great Chanyu will also suspend the attack on the city for three days." Master He Dao bowed to Li Guangli. Not only was his words sincere, but he also took practical actions.
"Come here, take the gentleman down to rest. The gentleman is the distinguished guest of this general, so don't neglect him!" Li Guangli ordered to the soldiers outside the house.
This night, Fushi City was extremely calm. Even the Huns army outside the city all retreated to the camp, allowing the exhausted Han army to finally find a chance to breathe.
Due to the war, news was blocked and delayed. Until now, Li Guangli, Wu Weiwei Youqu and others still don't know about the affairs between King Qin and King Qing in the Han Dynasty. In their opinion, Huo Guang's army in Hexi was restrained by Anxi, and Xun Xun in Youzhou The 60,000-strong army was completely wiped out, and Bode's 100,000-strong army in the north was defeated. In a short period of time, it was impossible for the Han Dynasty to assemble an army of more than 50,000 people. And these thoughtsThey had already deduced it countless times before the invasion.
It's just that no matter how perfect the deduction is, it is just a hypothesis after all. These people never calculated that in the southwest and east of the Han Empire, some people were already preparing troops and supplies at the moment when their invasion began. Apart from Huo Guang's army, The other two armies on Qingjun's side have already marched more than halfway and will reach Chang'an in another half month. This is because most of the two armies are infantry. If they were cavalry, they would have appeared outside Chang'an City.
