Chapter 346 Sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight

Although Zhang Han brought his troops back to Yanmen County on the border because the grasslands in winter were not suitable for stationing large armies, he still made preparations when leaving. He left many spies behind and pretended to be

It was ordinary herdsmen who listened for news on the grasslands, and then carried the news to Xianyang by carrier pigeons, and the emperor decided how to deal with the Huns in the end.

Since his son Zidu Anran came back, Peng Hong has become energetic and is more attentive to intelligence work every day. Today is no exception. After he received the intelligence sent from the north from his subordinates, he immediately

Rushed to the palace. This was what Fusu had ordered a long time ago. The intelligence from the north was related to the military and there could be no delay.

When Fusu took the silk book, he was having breakfast. When he saw Peng Hong standing aside, he also asked him to sit down and eat with him. After Peng Hong declined for a while but to no avail, he sat down gratefully.

Start by eating that millet porridge. As an emperor, Fusu is not extravagant, just because before traveling to this era, he has eaten something more delicious than all the food in this era, and in this history, Qin, Han

At that time, there was no concept of food, so Fusu kept things simple. While drinking the millet porridge in front of him, Fusu asked: "Peng Hong, how is Zidu doing lately?"

Peng Hong hurriedly put the bowl in his hand on the table and said respectfully: "The emperor has missed you a lot. After this period of recuperation, he has fully recovered. He also often said that he would perform meritorious service for the emperor again and defeat the Huns.

They’ve all been killed.”

After Zidu returned to Xianyang, Fusu ordered him and the other soldiers who returned with him to rest for a period of time, but the salary was very high, just to reward these people who almost died when they came back. Now I hear this.

, a smile appeared on Fusu's face: "As expected of you, he is the son of the Peng family. He only wants to kill the enemy for the country. I really did not misjudge him. But now is not the time to ask him to go to war for me, so let him

Let's take a good rest at home, he is tired after a year abroad." As he spoke, Fusu drank up the porridge, then picked up the information and read it.

After watching for a long time, the smile on Fusu's face became even brighter. He tapped the cases in front of him with his hand and said with a smile: "God is really helping me, Qin Dynasty. I didn't expect that the Huns were still in civil strife at this time."

Seeing the confusion on Peng Hong's face, he explained, "The news said that because Mao Dun died at the hands of leaders who were dissatisfied with him, some of Mao Dun's cronies who had saved their lives along the way were filled with hatred for him.

Finally, more than ten days ago, regardless of the fact that they were already remnant, regardless of the unfavorable weather conditions for the battle, and regardless of how much damage this war would cause to the Huns, they launched a brazen attack on the leaders."

Peng Hong said: "I remember that this happened a long time ago. The scouts who hurriedly came from the north that day brought this news. Why is the emperor happier now than before?"

"If it was just a fight between these two armies, I wouldn't be so happy." Fusu said with a smile, "But I couldn't help but be unhappy about what happened next. The troops of the leaders were suddenly attacked and were attacked by those soldiers.

The passers-by were defeated. On the way to defeat, they kept gathering people from their own tribes. In addition, tribes that had always been hostile to Maodun also joined their camp. In this way, they

The strength of the troops greatly exceeded those who wanted to avenge Mao Dun. When the two armies fought again, the mourning soldiers lost their previous momentum, and in the end the two armies were killed in a tie. Although the two armies were in a short period of time due to different reasons.

I had scruples so I didn't start a war, but the Huns will never be able to unite together. That's why I'm so happy."

Peng Hong also smiled and said: "I see, now these Huns have finally tasted the pain."

Fusu continued: "There is another good news here, that is, the Yuezhi people once wanted to take advantage of the Huns' civil strife to invade the grassland. However, after that battle, the Yuezhi people also suffered serious losses. In the end, they even

The Xiongnu army could not be defeated by the coalition forces composed of various tribes. After losing thousands of people, they retreated back to the Yuezhi country. I am afraid that they will not be able to make any more moves in a short time."

Peng Hong was a little confused again, so he asked: "What does the emperor mean by this? Aren't the Yuezhi people our allies? Why does the emperor think it is a good thing when he heard that they defeated them?"

Fusu said: "The people on the grassland, whether they are Xiongnu or Yuezhi, they all have the heart to covet my property in the Central Plains. The Yuezhi are not like this now because their strength is not enough.

If we let them replace the Huns now, and their internal

If there is no contradiction, it does not matter that the Yuezhi people on the century-old grassland are the Huns before, and the damage to our Central Plains will definitely not be small. Therefore, from the beginning when we joined forces with the Yuezhi people, I had already made up my mind to borrow money from them.

The Huns dealt with the Yuezhi people and completely weakened them

, so that they cannot compete with me in the Central Plains. Now it seems that my idea has been successful. After this defeat, those Yuezhi people are unable to go abroad again. From then on, they can only stay in the Yuezhi area.

A small piece of land has arrived. And judging from the news that Zidu brought that day, Yue

The people of the clan are also at odds with each other, and fights between various Weng lords also occur from time to time. In this way, it will be even more difficult for them to get back on their feet. In this way, the Huns have nothing to fear, and the Yuezhi cannot deal with us.

There is a threat in the Central Plains, and from then on our Da Qin can develop safely."

"So that's it." Peng Hong didn't realize it until this moment, but then he raised another question, "Your Majesty, although the Huns are no longer of concern, after all, they still have a lot of cavalry. If I, the Great Qin, take advantage of them now

When the civil strife continues, if we raise troops again, I think the Xiongnu will be destroyed by us."

Fusu glanced at him: "Your idea coincides with what Zhang Han said. He is rushing to send this news to Xianyang this time because he wants me to order him to send troops to the Huns so that he can annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

.But you, like him, have overlooked one thing."

"What's up?"

"Whether it's the coalition forces from various tribes or the people who want to avenge Maodun, they are actually like the Huns. Just like two brothers in a family will quarrel, they can't avoid a big war, but once a foreign enemy appears,

The two brothers will definitely join forces again to deal with outsiders.

, and as soon as our Da Qin sent troops, we became their common enemy. At that time, they might join forces to fight against our Da Qin's troops. Although we are not afraid of them, why would the soldiers sacrifice themselves there in vain?

What? So I think it’s better to wait and see how things turn out.”

"The emperor is indeed wise, I never thought of this." Peng Hong said sincerely.

Fusu just smiled. He also got this method from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Cao Cao used this method to make Yuan Shao's last two sons die in the hands of others. Although this may not be true,

But now that I think about it, there is nothing wrong with it. After saying this, Fusu looked at

Tiandao: "Okay, Chen Ping and others will come into the palace later to discuss some political matters with me, so you can go out first." As he spoke, he took a piece of silk, wrote a few words, and then wrote some words on it.

After sealing it with a jade seal, it was handed over to Peng Hong, "Send this to Yanmen and ask Zhang Han to act accordingly."

After Zhang Han sent the news of the expanding civil strife of the Xiongnu to Xianyang, he began to intensify his troops, thinking that once Fusu gave the order, he would be able to send troops to the grassland. By then, all previous defeats would be wiped out, and he would still have the means to destroy the Xiongnu.

The other general, Long Qie, also thought that he could achieve this greatest contribution, and from then on he had his own place among all the generals of the Qin State. The two of them were full of hope and just waited for Fusu to order them to send troops.

The will comes.

They thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Huns had already been defeated one after another, and now they were in constant civil strife. As soon as Da Qin's troops arrived, they would lose all fighting spirit and collapse thousands of miles away. But the wait was endless.

, what they were waiting for was news that surprised everyone.

When they saw this piece of silk specially reserved for the emperor, the two of them got excited and opened it carefully. Then they saw a few words, which read: "Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"

Although there were only five words, Fusu's meaning was still understood by Zhang and Han, that is, they should not act rashly and just watch in Yanmen County. At this time, the two of them were completely dumbfounded.

I didn't expect such a decree to come, but

Now that the emperor has spoken, the two generals can no longer disobey the order and send troops to the grassland. The helpless two people could only restrain the troops who were already ready to move, and then followed Fusu's wishes and sent many troops.

A few scouts inquired about the situation on the grassland.

The next news he got was that the coalition forces defeated their opponents today, and that their opponents counterattacked and defeated the coalition forces tomorrow. Seeing the Huns constantly losing men and horses, Zhang Han was even more anxious to send troops to the grassland, but he couldn't do it.

What he regrets most now is that he consulted Fusu, knowing that it would be better to send troops to the grassland without informing the Ming Emperor. In that case, he could still make great achievements, but now he can only watch the Huns kill each other until there is no one left.

.

Although Zhang Han was very disappointed with this, Fusu's strategy was still successful. The two groups of Huns had reservations at the beginning of the battle, fearing that the Qin people would suddenly appear and be detrimental to them, but later, as

After the hatred between the two sides deepened, and the Qin army showed no sign of sending troops, they could no longer preserve their strength. The largest battle began, with nearly 50,000 troops invested by both sides. This was the situation on the Xiongnu grassland.
