Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 540 Mayi's conspiracy, the descendants of the Nie family are ashamed

——The strong man eats the meat of the barbarians hungry!

——Laughing and drinking the blood of the Huns!

hiss…

Everyone's heart was stirred because of the words on the flag.

And when Lu Yu's banner was raised, the black words and sentences on the bloody red banner seemed to let everyone see the miserable howling of slaves at the foot of Bailang Mountain and Wuhuan Mountain.

"I have heard that the Prime Minister has ambitions. He is willing to be the general of the Han Dynasty to conquer the west, conquer the Hulu in the north, and conquer the lost land!"

"Now, the Wuhuan people are jumping around repeatedly... They have been favored by the big man repeatedly, but they keep going south to plunder and occupy my Yinshan land!"

"The former champion Hou Huo Qubing offered sacrifices to heaven on Langjuxu Mountain, so why can't Prime Minister Yuan offer sacrifices to heaven again in this Yin Mountain and White Wolf Mountain?"

Lu Yu's eyes were full of determination...

Change the previous attitude towards the Southern Huns and Xianbei.

In the final analysis, the Southern Huns and Xianbei were of course alien races, but they did not occupy the land of the big man, and they did not receive the favor of the big man. Moreover, the Southern Huns still professed their vassals to the big man. When they welcomed the emperor back to Luoyang, they did their part!

But Wuhuan is different.

Wuhuan is a disgrace to the great man!

From Emperor Guangwu's time, after General Fubo Ma Yuan's conquest of Wuhuan failed, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu did not hesitate to bribe Wuhuan with a lot of property to make Wuhuan join him. Since then, Wuhuan has been a disgrace to the great man!

Yue Wumu's piece of "Man Jianghong", although it has been slightly changed, it still has the spirit of killing and attacking!
Everyone can feel the grief and indignation in it, and the hatred for Hu'er in it!
"During Emperor Guangwu's reign, he adopted a 'redemption policy', which was used to stop Wuhuan from attacking the Han Dynasty by donating money and food! Yuan Shao adopted a policy of redemption and marriage!"

"That's right, the Wuhuan cavalry are elusive and powerful. When they break into the Central Plains, it's like entering no one's land! Emperor Guangwu and Yuan's family think that they are here to plunder anyway, so they just give it to you!"

"This is certainly a way to solve the problem, but in my opinion it is extremely humiliating!"

Speaking of here…

Lu Yu took out an imperial decree from his bosom.

"Prime Minister, this is an imperial edict given to me by the emperor before I leave!"

He opened it quickly, appearing in front of all the civil and military personnel.

—— Kitakari!
There is nothing else in the edict, only two words, Beishou!

"Is it Kitakari?"

Cao Cao groaned subconsciously, and countless civil and military officials also muttered to themselves. At this moment, their eyes were full of shock and complexity.

Lu Ziyu's Fu, a sentence of "furiously leaning on the railing", and a sentence of "laughing and drinking the blood of the Huns", undoubtedly did not express his attitude...

And more importantly, it is the word "Beishu" in the imperial edict of the emperor.

For many years, Hu Lu invaded the border, and the Hu people called it "South Hunting". They regarded the border of the big man as a hunting ground!

And the word "Beishu" reminded everyone of the words from Emperor Wu's reign - "The offensive and defensive powers are different! If the enemy can go, I can go too!"

Hu'er dared to use the big man's frontier as a hunting ground, what about the Hu land outside the Great Wall?Why can't it be a hunting ground?
All of a sudden, civil and military officials who had originally raised many doubts joined hands one by one.

"Beishu Wuhuan, the minister seconded the proposal!"

"My minister agrees!"

Lu Yu's words can be said to be perfect and wonderful, producing an irresistible magic power.

The atmosphere has already set off here...

Northern Expedition, no more doubts!
Even Cao Cao, who is a poet, marveled at how broad-minded Yu'er really is.To be able to write such sensational poems is a great gift before the conquest!

"Gongda..."

"exist!"

Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Take the flag of 'Raging to the Crown' and copy a hundred copies of the edict of 'Bei Shou'. This time when we conquer Wuhuan, I, Cao Cao, will plant this battle flag all over Yinshan and Bailangshan to wake up those who are sleeping in Wuhuan. Heroic spirit of the frontier, let him witness the demeanor of offering sacrifices to the heavens and enshrining Zen on the White Wolf Mountain!"

"Here!"

Xun You solemnly accepted the battle flag.

Compared to the shock of the people in the government office...

When the edicts of "Manjianghong" and "Beishu" were spread among the army, and spread over Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, the sensation was even greater!
In the vast expanse of land, murderous aura surged up all over the land, as if countless heroic spirits sleeping underground were roaring, building up momentum for this Northern Expeditionary Army!
...

...

It was still sunny during the day, but at night, it began to rain heavily. It seemed that the heavens also felt the awe-inspiring spirit of "Manjianghong".

The room was steaming, Cao Cao and Lu Yu were shirtless, sitting in a wooden barrel each.

"Ziyu seems to be very determined to conquer Wuhuan this time, which is completely different from his attitude towards the Southern Huns and Xianbei in the past." Cao Cao spoke first...

Lu Yu smiled. "Prime Minister, would you believe me if I said that the current Wuhuan is actually a strong outsider but at the end of his strength?"

Cao Cao sat up straight in shock, splashing a splash of water. "You mean, Wuhuan's world-renowned iron cavalry? Is he a strong outsider but capable in the middle? Then Tadun, who incorporated Wuhuan from the three counties? Is it the end of his strength?"

"Almost!" Lu Yu replied, "In recent years, the people in the frontier have suffered, but Wuhuan has not been easy. Ever since the champion Hou moved Wuhuan to the border of the Han Dynasty, Wuhuan has always faced the Huns in the north and the Han in the south. double threat!"

"Both left and right, repeatedly jumping sideways, trying to survive... and what Tadun integrated is nothing more than a mob. They are far from as powerful as imagined! Prime Minister Cao can rest assured."

Speaking of here…

Lu Yu paused for a moment, then continued: "Besides, Wuhuan has communicated with the great Han for a long time. Apart from animal husbandry, there is also a large amount of arable land on its territory, and its war horses are also first-class. This is a must. What a great rear!"

hiss…

Cao Cao nodded.

"I've also thought of this point. Wuhuan's land can be used immediately, which saves a lot of trouble, but after all, it's not as deep or as far as you think! It's just..."

Cao Cao's eyeballs narrowed, and there was a little more sadness in his pupils.

"As you said, Wuhuan is strong on the outside and strong on the inside, but Wuhuan's Liucheng is thousands of miles away, and there are many small roads along the way, which is not conducive to the invasion of large armies. It's not that easy either!"

The more we talk about it later... the heavier Cao Cao's heart is.

"That's why... I want to write the song 'Manjianghong' with great fanfare, let Tadun know that our army is going to go north, let him prepare, let him set up checkpoints along the way, otherwise it will be too boring."

Lu Yu's words were completely beyond Cao Cao's expectations.

"Ziyu...this..."

Cao Cao stood up suddenly, completely forgetting that he was still in the barrel, and his entire short but strong body was exposed.

"Prime Minister... don't get excited!"

Lu Yu was taken aback. He looked around to make sure that there was no one around, and then he lowered his voice and said his plan.

"Prime Minister, don't you hear...the sound of the east and the west, playing hard to catch!"

call…

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Yu's words had already spread out. At first he didn't hear anything, but as the words deepened, Cao Cao's eyes became more and more condensed.

Attacking the heart... It is a scheming!
Yu'er is scheming again!
"Prime Minister, be patient! This Northern Expedition to Wuhuan is to solve the problem once and for all!"

"What we can think of, Ta Dun and the Yuan brothers can also think of, but how can they figure out what is hidden under the surface?"

He blurted out a sentence.

Inexplicably, Cao Cao felt much brighter...

It was raining heavily outside the house, and he stood outside the barrel inside, but it was extraordinarily warm and harmonious!
...

...

That night, after Lu Yu left, Cao Cao sat in the study, and in his mind... went through the plan of the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan mentioned by Yu'er.

And in front of his eyes was the red banner with big black characters written all over it.

"The shame of the frontier is still unresolved! When will the hatred of the white horse go away!"

Speaking of this... Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, as if he remembered the humiliating "redemption policy" against Wuhuan during Emperor Guangwu's time!
Thinking of it, Baima Yicong, who frightened the barbarians, returned to Jieqiao.

"Sad, shameful!"

at this time…

"Father…"

With a crisp sound, Cao Pi stepped into the study room. He first bowed to Cao Cao, and then held the manuscript of Man Jianghong in his hand and said:

"When the child sees this 'full river red', he just feels emotionally excited. Please allow the child to be a literary official next to Baimahou, so... that he can learn from Baimahou's literature and knowledge at any time!"

"Cultural official?" Cao Cao's mouth twitched...

As a father, how could he not know what Cao Pi's purpose was?
The name is Wenli, but in fact...he wants to win over Ziyu!Under the current situation, for his son Cao Cao, the civil servants around Lu Yu, even Jiuqing, are not as high as him.

only…

Unexpectedly, Pi'er has already started planning for the position of the son...

It's a pity... This plan was a complete failure from the beginning.

Thinking about this...

Cao Cao's words turned cold, his face was extremely dark
"I read this Man Jianghong, but I just want to learn Lu Ziyu's literary prose and knowledge? It seems that you have never realized the murderous intent in it. Is the true meaning of this Man Jianghong just rhetoric? Is it knowledge? Superficial, my Cao Cao's How can my son look like you, it really disappoints me!"

This…

Cao Pi frowned at Cao Cao's sudden words.

"baby…"

Before he could speak, Cao Cao blurted out the cold words again. "If you don't learn the art of governing the people, if you don't learn the tactics of marching, you have to be a civil servant and learn Fu!"

Cao Cao trembled. "Forget it, let's kneel here tonight and think about it carefully, what is wrong with you! Besides, your title of general with five senses is not suitable for you anymore! Let's go and get good at writing!"

This…

Cao Pi trembled.

Cao Cao had already walked towards the gate, and before he could leave, he stopped and did not forget to look back at Cao Pi.

It seemed that he didn't say a word, but his heart throbbed again and again.

"Pi'er, don't blame Daddy, Yu'er can only hold the position of son of the world! You should not have too much obsession!"

Huo…

Tread... With the sound of Cao Cao's heavy footsteps, Cao Pi's mood fell to the bottom.

He is... this is...

Teeth biting his lip, he thought he was right, but... everything seemed to be wrong!

At this moment, the tone of his father Cao Cao came from outside the courtyard.

——"The Northern Expedition took a long time, let Zhang'er also go with the army to experience it!"

"Here!" Xu Chu's voice came out...

"Brother Zhang? Experience?" Cao Pi felt his back molars clucking. Could it be, could it be...is the third brother Cao Zhang the father's favorite son?

So... that brat?
certainly…

How could Cao Pi know that for Cao Cao, he would rather reuse a reckless son than a scheming son!
Yu'er's succession to the throne can no longer depend on accidents!

...

...

In Yecheng, there is a plaque in front of the government office of "White Horse Marquis Mansion".

The sun has risen.

Zhang Liao stood in front of the door and waited, looking eagerly at the mansion...Last night, Lu Yu sent someone to tell him to come to the mansion early this morning to discuss matters.

But yesterday, the song "Manjianghong" spread throughout Yecheng, and the summons at this moment seemed so meaningful.

The gates of the mansion are wide open...

Zhang Liao raised his spirits, and Dian Wei patted him on the shoulder.

"Master Lu is waiting for you in the main hall!"

"Oh!" Zhang Liao agreed, and quickly stepped into it.

A table case…

Lu Yu and Zhang Liao sat opposite each other, and there was a map in front of them, which was the recorded route from Youzhou to Bailang Mountain. There was only one route, and most of them were in valleys, easy to defend and difficult to attack!

The records of many locations on the map are also very vague, as if... There is not much information about Wuhuan in the three counties.

"Young Master Lu's biography of the future is for the Northern Expedition of Wuhuan?" Zhang Liao asked immediately.

"That's right!" Lu Yu nodded.

Just as he was about to speak in detail, he never thought... but Zhang Liao spoke first. "The last general is about to invite Wuhuan to fight..."

Well…

Lu Yu raised his head, and Zhang Liao's expression was extremely serious...and this made Lu Yu's eyes condense suddenly, and suddenly remembered something.

It is mentioned in "Three Kingdoms: Zhang Liao Biography" that Nie Yi's family had to change their surname to Zhang in order to avoid their enemies...that is to say, Zhang Liao was originally surnamed Nie.

certainly…

When I read this before, Lu Yu didn't pay much attention to it, but now.

"General Zhang? Or is it that the Nie family wants to complete...the unfinished mission?"

Lu Yu's tone was quite serious.

But Zhang Liao's eyes suddenly widened a lot.

He pondered for a long time before he let out a low moan. "It turns out that Mr. Lu knows this..."

This blurted out Lu Yu's understanding, and sure enough... Zhang Liao's surname was originally Nie, and his ancestor "Nie Yi" was the first person to contribute to the plan to fight the Huns during the reign of Emperor Wu.

That was still in 133 BC, the second year of Yuanguang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, launched the famous "Mayi Conspiracy"!
Speaking of the first battle between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, many people will immediately think of "the siege of Baideng!"

It is true that the siege of Baideng was regarded as the first large-scale battle between the Han and the Huns, but if it was a campaign initiated with the goal of "encircling and annihilating" the main force of the Huns, it would be the Battle of Mayi!
…Just two years ago, the Xiongnu and the great Han continued to maintain the peace on the border through marriage, but because of a strategy proposed by one person, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che brought up the matter of counterattacking the Huns again.

This person is Zhang Liao's ancestor Nie Yi.

Previously, there were seven "hunting" activities of the Xiongnu attacking Yanmen on a large scale in historical records!
As a powerful man in Mayi County, Nie Yi gained the trust of the Huns through border trade with the Huns. He mentioned to Emperor Wu that he could lead the Huns into the territory for a large-scale ambush!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was too eager to counterattack the Huns...

But the officials of the Manchu Dynasty seemed to be used to this kind of peace and comfort.

In the end, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rejected all opinions and decided to adopt this plan, and mobilized more than 30 soldiers and horses to use the entire Mayi as an ambush site!
Nie Yi lured the Shanyu and most of the Xiongnu, and then carried out the encirclement operation.

Mayi County is located in today's "Shanxi". As we all know, the entire Shanxi is composed of a series of mountains divided into basins. This broken terrain is not conducive to the mobility of cavalry troops, and is very suitable for ambushes and encirclement warfare!
It can be said that Nie Yi has simulated the overall plan countless times in his mind...

When the Han army surrounded Mayi secretly, Nie Yi started his own espionage operation. He went to the Xiongnu and said that he could kill the county magistrate and county magistrate of Mayi, and then Kaesong surrendered!
The Xiongnu Shanyu was very happy to hear this, so he sent an envoy to go back with Nie Yi. Sure enough, Nie Yi performed according to the plan, killed several prisoners, hung their heads on the city wall, and pointed to two of them and told the Huns, This is the county magistrate and county magistrate!

The envoys went back to report their participation, and as expected, Shan Yu assembled and [-] Hu Qi crossed the "Wuzhou Fortress" and rushed to Mayi!
If Mayi falls, it is equivalent to the Yanmen Gate being breached, and the Yanmen Pass that blocks the barbarians will be useless!
Logically speaking...

Shan Yuhui, the Xiongnu, entered an ambush and was besieged by the Han army!

Unfortunately…

On the way to Mayi, the Xiongnu caught an unlucky "weili". Weili is a unique official position on the border. There is one in a hundred miles, similar to the "pavilion chief!" in the Central Plains!

And the "little official" who was captured by the Huns told everything he knew because of fear...

For this reason, Shan Yu of the Huns immediately packed up his troops and withdrew the same way...

It was not until these Hu people withdrew from Yanmen that the main force of the Han army knew that the plan had failed. This was a battle carefully planned by both Han and Hu, and 40 people were invested.

And all the dedication and forbearance of Nie Yi's family all these years was wasted in one day... just because of a negligence that is too small to be small!
Success and failure!

In order to avoid being chased by the barbarians, they had to change their names!
But...every descendant of the Nie family must bear in mind the shame of this "Ma Yi conspiracy"!

Passed down from generation to generation until Zhang Liao, the descendant of the Nie family.

seem…

Since he was stationed in Yanmen when he was a child, he has always remembered the ancestral training of the Nie family, and his lifelong vision is to attack the barbarians in the north, so that the ancestors of the Nie family can rest in peace!

This is a imprint soaked in the bones... It is the soul and bones of the Nie family!

It is for this reason that Zhang Liao has already sharpened his sword and is ready to go in this Northern Expedition!
"Young master, in this battle, I, a descendant of the Nie family, would like to be the vanguard!"

Zhang Liao stood up abruptly, cupped his hands and bowed to Lu Yu.

Normally speaking, the main force in this battle is Cao Cao, and the only thing Zhang Liao can fight for is the vanguard position.

never thought...

Lu Yu's eyeballs must be. "Wen Yuan, in this battle, you are not the vanguard, you are the commander in chief!"

"Commander?" Zhang Liao couldn't believe it.

Lu Yu's words continued. "That's right, it is reported that... Zhang Xiu and Yang Xiu also sent troops to conquer Wuhuan on the southern side of the Huns, and Zhang Xiu even led the troops himself! Prime Minister Cao ordered 20 soldiers and horses! One month later, the city of Ye will swear an oath , went straight to White Wolf Mountain, and vowed to break Liucheng!"

"Then..." Zhang Liao felt that he didn't understand.

It's Zhang Xiu again, and Prime Minister Cao again, how can he be the coach?
At this moment, what Lu Yu said next surprised him.

"Wen Yuan, just remember, these two armies... are all laying the groundwork for you!"

"I have selected five thousand knights for you! Only you, can kill the White Wolf Mountain, and pierce Wuhuan's heart like a dagger!"

Speaking of here…

Lu Yu paused for a moment, and his tone became even more solemn.

"There is no more beautiful picture than the descendants of the Nie family worshiping the heavens and ancestors at White Wolf Mountain!"
