The second day is the agreed day, October 20th (23).

At dawn, the entire Han army camp was quiet.

Only the occasional sentry passing by and the shadowy firelight from afar are swaying.

But in the Central Army camp, it was another scene.

More than thirty noble envoys from more than ten countries in the Western Regions, including Shule, Shache, Qiemo, Jingjue, Xiaowan, Weixu, etc., came one after another.

They all sneaked secretly in the darkness and the space where the Huns were guarding the guards and sentries placed around the camp by the scouts and sentries placed by the Han army in the camp.

They were Xu You, who came to report to Zhang Yue and inform the Huns of the truth.

But the number of people is quite large.

From this we can also see how disconnected the Western Regions under Li Ling and his ruling group have reached?

If it were in the past, whether it was the era of Qiehu or Hu Lu Gu, the wise men were afraid of the era.

There will never be such large-scale information and turn against people.

It is even more impossible to have the danger of the core of the Huns' rule, and kingdom nobles like Shache turned against each other.

This is also a sign of the decline in the international influence and deterrence of the Huns!

The former Huns could stop children from crying at night with one stomping their feet, and a cough could scare the whole country to sleep and eat.

Under the order of the Shanyu, there was nothing that the countries dared not follow, and no one dared to slander.

But now, the house of the Huns is full of holes and gaps.

The spring river is warm and the duck prophet, and the nobles of the Western Regions are ready to jump ship.

However, the Han Dynasty did not have the ability to accept and control the Western Regions.

To be precise, Zhang Yue believes that he does not have that ability yet.

Shortage of people!

Not only is there a shortage of officials, but also a shortage of immigrants!

Especially the latter, the most important thing!

In a place where there are no officials, they can be trained, but without the people, it is hard to cook without rice!

Therefore, Zhang Yue could only wait.

On the one hand, we waited for the development of Hexi to go deeper into the next stage and attracted a large number of immigrants from the inner counties; on the other hand, we hoped to continuously transform the people of the Western Regions and make them Han subjects just like what he did in Kucha, Weili and Loulan now.

Poetry and calligraphy are swords, rituals and music are swords, changing customs and customs, breaking mountains and cutting down temples.

Therefore, Zhang Yue treated these envoys from various countries who came to report the message with courtesy and made various promises.

But further requirements and conditions are gone.

He and the Han Dynasty seemed to have no interest in the Western Regions at all.

The only target is the Huns.

This made envoys from all countries both happy and worried when they saw it.

What is happy is naturally that the heavenly dynasty is truly broad-minded and truly benevolent!

What I am worried about is that if the Han Dynasty had no interest in the Western Regions, then if the Huns were defeated in the future, wouldn’t the Wusun take over?

Isn’t that a wolf drives away from the front door and a tiger enters the back door?

The Wusun people are even more greedy and cruel than the Huns!

So, these people are really uneasy.

It was already dawn that Zhang Yue sent away the envoys from various countries.

The distant sky has turned white.

Seeing the messengers disappearing into the thick fog, he raised his mouth and smiled.

Before the war, there were so many people who were disinterested within.

Li Ling is about to fail this time.

Of course...

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Maybe there are Li Shaoqing's people among these people..."

If so many people ran out, if Li Ling didn't know, that would be too useless, right?

So, there is only one person who is involved in Li Ling's truth.

Only in this way can we explain why the Huns camp is like a sieve!

…………………………

At dawn, Li Ling climbed a small hill on the banks of the Honghe River.

This is the only mountain mausoleum on the riverside.

A very short mountain, roughly ten feet high, and the hillside is quite smooth, almost no difference between the plain.

"Did Zhang Zizhong really say that?" Li Ling asked at the figure in front of him.

"Report to the king, that's true!" The man knelt in front of Li Ling and bowed.

"That's good..." Li Ling waved: "You go down!"

"As for your order!" The man climbed down the hillside, but Li Ling turned around, looked at the people behind him, and said, "It seems that the Han Dynasty still needs our knife!"

"Tell all the troops that in today's battle, no horse is allowed to go out of the camp, and follow my orders!"

"Master, don't you really work hard?" someone asked: "Even if you are a hundred thousand troops, you should polish the energy of the Han family!"

"When the Han cavalry is exhausted, our army will rush out, and maybe we can achieve his achievements in one battle!"

Li Ling listened and sneered: "A hundred thousand army?"

He raised his whip and pointed at the shadowy military camp: "If there were indeed a hundred thousand troops, how dare Zhang Zizhong get here?"

"The coalition forces of all countries in front of you are still the coalition forces under Guishan City?"

When under Guishan City, although the Western Regions coalition forces had different orders and were difficult to coordinate, they were very motivated and united.

Therefore, the resistance and struggle of the Dayuan people, and the raids of Wusun and Kangju, were eventually gone.

At that time, the coalition forces blocked the gods and killed the gods, and the Buddha blocked the Buddhas!

But what about now?

The armies of various countries in the Western Regions have already gained a lot of benefits in Dayuan.

I don’t know how many of the wealth and population accumulated by the Dayuan Kingdom over the past few hundred years have fallen into the hands of these people.

Nowadays, the coalition forces have long lost the ambition to attack Dayuan.

Now, facing the famous Han cavalry, all countries, and even the Huns, have long been thinking about how to bring back the plundered wealth and women.

What's more, the person opposite is Zhang Chiyou with fierce flames!

Once the ambition is vented, the fighting spirit will disappear.

"Do you believe it?" Li Ling sneered: "If our army goes to the battlefield, we will be burdened by these people!"

Now in Li Ling's eyes, the remaining Western Regions coalition forces have become burdens.

Their existence became the biggest enemy and obstacle to his army.

As a veteran, I have experienced setbacks and victory.

Li Ling understood that if he wanted to fight the Han army forcibly.

Then, the ending will definitely be very miserable!

The vassal armies of various countries will become tools that the Han army can use.

Moreover, he could imagine the tactics that the Han army would adopt.

It was nothing more than expelling these servants, driving them away like cattle and sheep, and grazing them.

Once there is a defeat, there will be no elite troops in the chaotic army, and the 100,000 troops will collapse on the spot.

The story of the Battle of Yique and the Battle of Maling immediately re-enacted.

Therefore, Li Ling had no hope for the servants in the coalition.

Especially after experiencing tonight’s incident, how dare he put his hopes on these scoundrels?

If that is the case, I won’t know how to die then!

"Since that's the case, why do you have to start a war?" Someone asked in confusion: "Our army retreats to Dayuan. When the time comes, the Han army retreats. Will it be lifted again?"

"Silly!" Li Ling glared at him: "If that were the case, the Han army would probably not need a soldier and one soldier, and our army would be defeated!"

"Han Zhan Shule, our army's 100,000 will be blocked in Dayuan for a whole month!"

"It would be fine if these 100,000 people were all Huns, but... you all know that the Huns had only 20,000 soldiers, and most of the rest were soldiers and horses from various countries..."
