Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 487
A few days later, at the beginning of May of the first year of Jianxing, several uninvited guests came to the former Governor's Mansion of Hedong in Anyi County, now the Mansion of the Great Han Hushi General.

They were a few people dressed as Han people, but their faces were a bit strange, not that they were too different from Han people, but that their complexion tended to be darker and yellower, their faces flushed, and their appearance was slightly different from that of Han people in the Central Plains.

The leader was a middle-aged Confucian scholar in his forties. After entering the door, he bowed like Shen Chen and said, "Luanti Qiulin pays his respects to General Hussars."

"You are the envoy sent by the Southern Huns, why do you look like a Han Chinese?"

Shen Chen asked in surprise.

The man hurriedly said: "Yes, I have a Chinese name named Liu Xuan, and my style name is Shize. The current Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Huchuquan is my elder brother."

"I didn't expect to be a Hun royal family, please sit down."

Shen Chen was quite surprised.

According to historical records, Liu Xuan was the great-uncle of Liu Yuan, the former founding emperor of Zhao, the youngest son of Qiangqu Shanyu of the Southern Huns, the younger brother of Yu Fuluo, the former Shanyu, and the younger brother of Huchuquan, the current Shanyu.

But in fact, Qiang Qu Shanyu died in 187 AD, and the former Zhao was established by Liu Yuan in 308 AD. At that time, it was recorded that Liu Xuan was still there and was appointed by Liu Yuan as the first prime minister of the former Zhao. He died of illness not long after.

This means that if the historical records are correct, even the posthumous son of Qiang Qu Shanyu, who was born in 188 A.D., is also an old birthday star who lived a full 120 years old. Five indiscriminate China.

Naturally, Shen Chen didn't know that this was a hundred-year-old tortoise, and after they sat down, he said, "It's just a Hun wearing Confucian clothes. I think you can speak Chinese very well, doesn't it?"

Sitting on the seat, Liu Xuan faced Shen Chen, smiled and cupped his hands towards Dongfang: "I used to study Mao Poems, Book of Rites, Three Biography of Spring and Autumn, Mandarin, Erya and "Shangshu", and also read "Zhuziyan" and "Shen Shijing" written by General Hushi, and benefited a lot."

Shen Chen nodded with a smile and said: "So it turns out that Mr. Shu Ran learned from Mr. Kang Cheng in his early years, and he is the proud disciple of Mr. Kang Cheng. I admire Mr. Kang Cheng's knowledge very much. You must be able to learn from Mr. Shu Ran." It is the essence of Zheng Xue, and the green comes from the blue."

A young man next to him immediately said: "Mr. Shu Ran said that my father is his best disciple, and he once compared my father to a Marquis."

"Oh?"

Shen Chen was quite surprised and said: "Compared to Hou Hou, I didn't expect Mr. Shi Ze to be so talented."

"Where."

Liu Xuan hurriedly said: "My son is talking nonsense. Duke Kang Cheng is as famous as Lord Zhong Zigong. General Hushi is Zhong Zigong's high disciple and a famous Confucian in the world today. Compared with Xuan, General Hushi is the pillar of the great man."

"Hahahahahaha."

Shen Chen was noncommittal about Liu Xuan's compliment, and said with a smile: "The big man has always been tolerant to all rivers. Whether it is a Hun or a Xianbei, as long as he is devoted to the Han, there is no difference between Hu and Han. They are all the people of the big man. Mr. What is the purpose of the Southern Huns coming?"

Liu Xuan got up and cupped his hands and said, "The great general Hushi is so powerful that all the Huns admire him very much. I heard that the general came to Hedong County. My brother and my nephew specially selected a thousand horses and asked me to come and give them to the general."

Shen Chen picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, then narrowed his eyes, put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "Sir, I'm afraid you're not just here to give gifts."

When Shen Chen captured Chang'an, the Southern Huns sent people to contact him and expressed their intention to show their favor.

But when Shen Chen asked them to change their banners and ask them to regard the great Southern Han as orthodox, these guys would turn their backs and talk about it, obviously intending to hedge their bets, neither offending the Han nor daring to rebel against Wei.

In the final analysis, Cao Cao's methods against foreign races in the frontier were too cruel.Yu Fuluo was educated by Cao Cao back then, as well as the Wuhuan people, and the Karasuma Rebellion on the border of Youzhou was quelled by Cao Cao.

Later, Cao Cao moved the Southern Huns to Shangdang County, and divided them into five divisions. Not to mention their strength was greatly weakened, they basically became a vassal of Cao Wei.

At this moment, Liu Xuan, as the envoy of the Southern Huns, probably had other ideas because he saw that Cao Wei was not getting better every day.

really.

Liu Xuan said: "Although my elder brother is the Shanyu of the Huns, he can't help himself. Cao Cao forced my elder brother to join him, otherwise the family will be wiped out. Now my elder brother is currently detained in Luoyang. Recently, I heard that Cao Rui is planning to move the capital, and my elder brother is willing to be an internal response. "

"Willing to be an internal response?"

Shen Chen touched his chin, his eyes puzzled.

The Xiongnu is now divided into five tribes, the main tribe is the Shanyu Huchuquan tribe, and then the right tribe is the Youxian King Qubei tribe, the Zuo Xian King Liubao tribe, and the Youguli King Pan Liuxi tribe, and the Zuoguli King Training Department and so on.

These people seem to live in Shangdang, as if they are not bound.

But in fact, Cao Cao had targeted it a long time ago. He detained Huchuquan in Yecheng. .

When Shen Chen fought Hedong, there were many Huns in Xu Huang's army, and they were all sent by the Cao Wei court. Obviously the Huns were forced to fight for Cao Wei.

Now that the Xiongnu see Cao Wei's situation in decline, they have a little plan to change their family and want to join the embrace of the big man.

The question is whether there will be fraud in this?

After all, the Xiongnu were too strictly controlled by Cao Wei, and Liu Xuan couldn't do the internal response if they said they wanted to.

So Shen Chen thought for a while, and said: "I heard that Huchuquan Shanyu's tribe is controlled by the Han captain and Sima of Cao Weizhi, and the other four tribes are also supervised by the Han captain and Sima. If Shanyu wants to revolt , I'm afraid it's not easy."

Liu Xuan said with a smile: "General, Cao Wei is going to move the capital. When the capital is moved, hundreds of thousands of people and countless officials will go east. There will be chaos. My brother intends to take this opportunity to escape. If he can return to the tribe, he will kill Captain Cao Wei." Sima, raise the banner of honoring the great Han as orthodox, and welcome the general into Bingzhou."

"Ha ha."

Shen Chen smiled and said: "Bingzhou is almost defenseless, I want to win Bingzhou, it's as easy as flipping the palm of my hand."

Liu Xuan said: "The general doesn't know yet, Cao Rui has sent [-] troops into Bingzhou, and ordered all the Huns to send tens of thousands of troops together, trying to keep the general out of Bingzhou."

After finishing speaking, Liu Xuan looked at Shen Chen's face seriously, but found that Shen Chen's expression of happiness and anger was almost unchanged.

He was a little uncertain, did Shen Chen not pay attention to these people, or did he already know about it?

Shen Chen's face did not change, he still looked at Liu Xuan with a smile, took a sip from his teacup, and then said slowly: "Even Cao Cao would not please me if he came to me personally, Wuqiu Jian is a cynical, he went to Bingzhou , Come to fight with me, it is tantamount to selling Seoul, so why should I be afraid?"

Liu Xuan suddenly felt a chill on his back and broke out in a cold sweat.

He originally wanted to use the news to sell it for a good price, or he had other ideas before he came.

If Shen Chen's side is really strong and Cao Wei's side can't resist, they will use this news and Guanqiu Jian's new army as a vote to sell Cao Wei.

If Shen Chen's side is not good enough, Cao Wei's side can resist it, and then offer advice to the Cao Wei court, use the Huns' feigned surrender as bait to lure Shen Chen into Bingzhou, and then find a way to ambush him and defeat him.

As long as Shen Chen loses, with Cao Wei's stature, he won't be defeated so easily.

But now it seems that his small calculation may not be so easy to realize, because Shen Chen seems to have known about Cao Rui's plan to move the capital, and also sent Wuqiu Jian to Bingzhou.

This means that he not only knows the Cao Wei court well, but also knows the situation in Bingzhou very well.

It would be very difficult to hide the truth.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuan forced a smile and said: "The general is mighty, and Guanqiu Jian is like a chariot with his arms, but the Huns are willing to submit to the heart of the great man. Please also learn from the general."

"Ah."

Shen Chen smiled and said: "Naturally, but Cao Wei has penetrated deeply into the Huns, and it is not so easy for you to get rid of it. Besides, I will not send troops easily, and I need to see your sincerity, so let's wait. Chu Quan fled from Luoyang and returned to the tribe, you killed the officials of Cao Wei, and when you attacked Guanqiu Jian, I sent troops to help, what do you think?"

This is obviously a plan to see the rabbit and not to scatter the eagle, and is not going to fight with the Huns, but hopes that the Huns will attack Wuqiujian's Wei army first, and wait until the dogs on both sides bite the dogs, and the dogs' brains are beaten out before sending troops.

As the later former prime minister of Zhao, Liu Xuan naturally guessed what Shen Chen meant.

For the big Han, the Huns may not be trusted. It is more in the interests of the Han army to let the Huns and Cao Wei fight internally before the Han army is dispatched.

But this is not in the interests of the Huns.

Liu Xuan persuaded: "General, although the Wei army is a new army, their weapons and equipment are far superior to those of the Huns. If we are allowed to attack first, we may be defeated by them. Before the general arrives, we will be defeated first. Isn’t this opportunity wasted in vain? Or ask the general to send troops first, we pretend to be dispatched by Wei Jun, and it’s better to turn against us at the critical moment.”

"Mr. Shize's words are very reasonable, but our army has just finished fighting the Battle of Hedong and needs to rest. Please go back first, sir, and discuss later."

Shen Chen declined.

Liu Xuan said anxiously: "General Mingjian, Cao Rui is about to move his capital to Yecheng. My brother has only one chance to escape. If the general can't support us, once my brother leaves Luoyang and returns to the tribe, he will be taboo by Cao Wei. Send someone to arrest him."

"this one"

Instead, Shen Chen hesitated for a moment.

Because Liu Xuan is right, if he stands on the sidelines, if the Huns are attacked by Cao Wei, they will be defeated by Cao Wei if they are not good, and they will lose a chance to easily obtain Bingzhou.

What's more, Hu Chuquan wanted to take advantage of Cao Wei's move to the capital and escape when the order was chaotic.

And this is his chance to escape.

If Cao Wei finds out that he has escaped, he will inevitably suspect that Hu Chuquan wants to surrender to the Han, and may even ask Guanqiu Jian to immediately control Liu Baoqubei, the leader of the Huns' various tribes, to prevent them from making trouble.

If this is the case, Shen Chen will indeed miss an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Shen Chen slightly lowered his jaw and said: "Mr.'s words are somewhat reasonable. Although I am not afraid of Wuqiu Jian, it is a good thing to get Bingzhou easily. Well, moving the capital is not a trivial matter. Cao Rui wants to go to Ye City, it shouldn’t be so fast, I have an internal response in Cao Weizhong, and I can know the specific matters of moving the capital at any time, after they have confirmed it, we will discuss a specific plan in detail, what do you think?”

This is an old-fashioned opinion, so Liu Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Listen to the general."

"Ah."

Shen Chen said: "I also need to discuss with the general, sir, please go back."

"Then wait for the general's good news, the proclamation."

Liu Xuan stood up and said goodbye.

Seeing his leaving back, Shen Chen narrowed his eyes.

Huns?
Whoever has milk is a mother, can you believe it?
