Chapter 157 Ready and calm down

Outside the fortress, the sky is filled with yellow sand.

In front of the screen, from Zhang Wangchuan's perspective.

What appears is the endless desert.

Full of desolation.

"This scene... I really owe it to my ancestors to take a trip without leaving home."

Zhang Wei was quite enjoying himself in front of the screen.

It is true.

Traveling is too monotonous.

From time to time, several low-hanging figures flew by.

Bringing a few noisy croaks.

"Crows seem to bring war and ominousness. I didn't expect that in the era of the Han Dynasty, there would be such a thing on the border of the Han Dynasty."

Zhang Wei in front of the screen was a little surprised.

More, it should be said that I am surprised by this phenomenon.

"Wangchuan, this is... this should be the owl recorded in the history books, right?"

There was a sound of inquiry from beside me.

But it was Liu Che who took the initiative to ask.

Hear the crow.

Not only did he not show helplessness or boredom like Zhang Wei did.

On the contrary, he looked happy.

Immediately.

Zhang Wei soon understood.

This may be the "generation gap" between ancient times and modern times.

Zhang Wei calls this phenomenon that he doesn’t understand well the “generation gap.”

In fact, in ancient times.

Because of the cognitive gap.

Especially in modern times, with the development of science.

People's understanding of some things will change more appropriately.

most of the time.

Many things have completely opposite meanings.

Just like the owl in Liu Che's mouth now.

It is also what is now called a crow.

In modern times, crows are often regarded as a symbol of bad luck.

At least that's the case around Zhang Wei.

What's more, crows are regarded as savage beasts.

Superstitious people may even spit at a crow when they see it, hoping to take away any bad luck.

After all, crows are usually a symbol of noise and disgust in the eyes of modern people.

It brings misfortune.

However, placed in ancient times.

The ancients placed extremely good expectations on it.

In ancient China, the crow was regarded as a sacred bird, with meanings such as auspiciousness, benevolence and filial piety.

People generally believe that this bird is a symbol of filial piety and loyalty, and a divine guide that can guide people to the right path.

In some historical periods, the crow was also regarded as an auspicious bird of war, and was given the beautiful meaning of protecting national peace and victory on the battlefield.

in short.

In ancient times, seeing a crow was an extremely lucky thing.

Especially on the eve of the battle between the Han Dynasty and the Huns.

Such an auspicious sign appeared.

Liu Che was delighted.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed true. As recorded in the book, the owl will make a noisy sound. This noise is a symbol of good luck to us. It symbolizes the future peace of our great man and blesses us this time. Winning a complete victory! It also symbolizes that Your Majesty accepts the destiny of Heaven and carries out punishment on behalf of Heaven. This is the meaning of God's gift!"

Zhang Wei on the side took advantage of the situation and spoke.

A few words of flattery without trace, but made Liu Che smile happily.

In front of the screen, Zhang Wei put down his phone calmly.

Fortunately, I am wise in my desperation.

Checked Du Niang in time.

Otherwise, if I don't know this bit of information, I'm afraid my impression in the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will be greatly reduced.

"I am very happy to hear Zhang Aiqing's words. I also hope that I will achieve a complete victory at this time. But..."

It seemed that he saw the hesitation in Liu Che's words.

this time.

Zhang Wei sent more than one message to the Huns.

It’s not just the Yan family.

And Nie Yi.

but,

But it is like a cow entering a sea of ​​mud.

All are lost.

Zhang Wei remained calm on the surface.

In fact, I was a little hesitant inside.

but.

Just like how he comforted Liu Che before.

The further it gets now, the less he can panic.

The situation has come to this.

The Han Dynasty spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and almost the whole country was devoted to this battle.

On the other hand, look at the Huns.

Unprepared, and even under the mutual trade at the Han border, they constantly lowered their guard.

On his side, he also tried his best.

Not only placing people within the Xiongnu.

The plan has been further improved according to the historical development trajectory.

It can be said.

Zhang Wei achieves the ultimate in everything he does.

During this period.

Liu Che also mentioned this matter to Zhang Wei more than once.

The main thing is that this matter is serious.

Even Liu Che.

In other words, it is precisely because he is Liu Che and the emperor of this Han Dynasty.

It just seemed a little out of place.

Zhang Wei controlled Zhang Wangchuan and gave Liu Che a reassuring smile.

During this period, he had comforted Liu Che countless times.

"Your Majesty, the Huns are far away from me, and I, the Zhang family, must be careful when sending people to the Huns to deliver messages. Even if I receive a message, it will take time to reply. At the moment, I, the man, have done everything I can, 阏The Yan clan has also been tied to the same boat as me, the Han, for a long time. In my opinion, rather than betraying the Han, the Yan clan would lead the Xiongnu into the Han's trap, which is the way to maximize profits."

"Furthermore, Your Majesty should know. After all, the Yan family and my Han family have the same origin. In terms of blood, they are of the same line. Although they have been integrated into the Xiongnu for a long time, I always believe that the Yan family loves my Han family."

"Therefore, Your Majesty, we only need to do our part, lead the soldiers under my command to ambush on both sides, and recharge our batteries. We don't need to worry too much. All we need is to step into the trap and annihilate the Huns!"

Zhang Wei roughly repeated the plan again.

After analyzing many times, the Yan family would react to their big man.

Even if it’s one step back, then one step back.

No matter what you think.

Zhang Wei knew clearly that cooperating with these big men was the most correct choice the Yan family could make.

After all, to put it bluntly.

I want to go further and even succeed in reaching Shan Yu's position.

In other words, the Huns' tent is now full of enemies of the Yan family.

If they want to take sole power, they must eradicate everything in front of them.

At present, the big Han wants to take action against the Xiongnu.

This is their best and only chance.

Compared with the overt and covert fighting in the Han court, the life-and-death struggle between the Huns' tents was even more cruel.

Although the Yan family is from the Han Dynasty.

However, Zhang Wei knew it.

Whether they still have any sense of belonging to the big man remains to be seen.

Therefore, he has always maintained contact with the Yan family based on interests.

He even hoped to persuade the Yan family in the hope of profit.

Only based on interests can we ensure that the Yan family will not betray easily.

While thinking.

Outside the carriage.

There was a sudden noise.

It even overshadowed the noise caused by the carriage passing by.

"Who is making the noise outside?"

Liu Che felt a little relieved just now.

Hear the noise outside.

Immediately.

Mentioned it again.

Talk about it.

Liu Che understood it deeply.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, when marching and fighting, the most fearful thing is not marching and forming.

Instead, there was the sound of horse hooves outside the carriage.

The last sound of horse hooves brought Liu Che an extremely complicated problem.

Including the layout and arrangement of the camps under his command, and even the disharmony among his soldiers.

Three hundred thousand soldiers and horsemen eating horse chews is not just an astronomical figure.

Among them, how to make overall arrangements and how to make them get along harmoniously.

It is also a big knowledge.

Although Liu Che had various generals coordinating with each other. but,

to be honest.

Everyone has different interests and different positions.

Especially the rear army led by Zhang Wangcheng.

Each one of them is a thorn among thorns.

Either they were carrying some blood debt, or they had committed quite a few crimes in the camp.

It's just that the military is sorry for their abilities.

In other words, they took a fancy to their combat prowess.

Then they were sent to what the military calls death camps.

It is also the rear army led by Zhang Wangcheng.

This group of rear troops brought a lot of trouble to Liu Che.

On the one hand, Zhang Wangcheng led such an unruly army for the first time.

Not only the running-in, but also the normal things in the army.

There will be quite a commotion.

Furthermore.

As a member of the Zhang family, as a person who dared to jump out and was willing to die alone when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were submissive.

In both emotion and reason, Liu Che could not possibly chill Zhang Wangcheng's heart.

Therefore, during this period, Liu Che devoted a lot of effort to Zhang Wangcheng's rear army.

Also a very headache.

The horse's hoofbeats sounded.

Liu Che knew that trivial things were coming again.

"Report, Your Majesty, there is someone wandering around our Han army, and we captured him. He claimed to be an envoy of the Zhang family, and he holds your Majesty's token, so we kidnapped him."

There was a respectful voice outside the carriage.

Liu Che couldn't help but look at Zhang Wangchuan.

Zhang Wei looked soothed.

As for Liu Che.

It was also a huge relief.

Ok.

Gang was still worried about whether the Zhang family's plan could be implemented smoothly.

No, the envoy from the Zhang family came to the door.

"Bring him here, be careful not to embarrass him too much. This must indeed be the envoy of the Zhang family."

Liu Che spoke calmly.

No hint of joy or anger could be heard.

He seemed to feel the general's embarrassment outside the carriage.

Liu Che once again offered words of comfort.

"You have done a very good job. Similar situations should be discovered as soon as possible, and we should try our best to arrest them and let me decide. This matter is not your fault, and I will not blame you, and will bring the Zhang family envoy."

Got Liu Che's comfort.

Or a guarantee.

The general outside was obviously relieved.

"promise."

Follow the response.

Outside the carriage, the sound of horse hooves faded away.

"Wangchuan, since the envoy is back, I think our plan..."

Liu Che spoke.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, what they bring back this time will definitely be the good news we thought. This is not only my confidence in them, but also my confidence in the layout of our Zhang family and our confidence in our big men!"

Zhang Wei in front of him is still full of confidence.

Not the slightest trace of worry could be seen.

If there was no news from the original messenger, Zhang Wei hesitated in front of the screen.

just now.

The news returned by the Zhang family's envoy made his heart fall further into his stomach.

It's good to come back.

As long as his Zhang family envoy can come back.

Zhang Wei believes that what he brings will only be good news.

Otherwise, relying on the actions of the Huns, or if the Yan family rebels.

The envoy of the Zhang family will inevitably become the certificate of surrender and "evidence" of the Yan family.

In fact, not only would they not release the Zhang family's envoys, they would instead send their own people to spread false news to confuse the big man.

He even took this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the big man.

After a long period of intrigue, Zhang Wei already knew the twists and turns involved.

Anyway.

The messenger is back.

He has already given up most of his heart.

"Your Majesty, the common people are here to pay homage to Your Majesty."

There was a respectful voice outside the carriage.

The vicissitudes of life in the words are difficult to conceal.

Also.

The road between the Han and the Xiongnu was not close.

and.

He shoulders the mission of his Zhang family.

Along the way, the messenger did not dare to stop.

After coming non-stop to convey the message to the Xiongnu, he anxiously waited for the reply from the Yan family.

Then, he came back again covered in dust.

Inside the tent.

The messenger was actually extremely anxious.

after all.

The confrontation between the two armies was just around the corner, but he was involved in such a big event.

If you are silenced...

The messenger didn't dare to think about it.

Fortunately.

I got the exact news about Yan's family.

Fortunately, he has now rushed back to the big man's side.

"Forgive me. How do you respond to the Yan family?"

Liu Che spoke calmly.

Zhang Wei on the side also looked at the messenger in the same way.

"Your Majesty, head of the family, this is what Yan asked me to present to you. Moreover, they sent me to convey a message to Your Majesty when I left."

"He asked me to wait for the Han army to be ready and open our pockets. The Yan clan will drive the Huns into our siege one by one."

Wait until the messenger finishes speaking.

Zhang Wei waved his hand casually, signaling him to step aside for now.

Immediately.

He took the hemp paper handed over respectfully by the waiter.

Just the sunshine outside the carriage.

At Liu Che's signal, Zhang Wei slowly spread out the hemp paper.

But it can be seen.

On it are densely packed small characters.

The meaning of the description is quite different from what the messenger said.

The meaning expressed by Yanshi is very simple.

On their side, they will try their best to facilitate the big man's plan.

Including the ones that have always given big men a headache.

How should the Huns step into the trap?

Because Zhang Wei had already described their plan in detail before.

Almost ambushing him wherever he will be.

Where will the main force of the Huns be led?

He even made a detailed analysis of Shanyu's possible reactions to such situations.

Almost according to the development trajectory recorded in history, I gave Yan a copy.

What Zhang Wei wants to achieve is very simple.

This is what our Dahan Plan is like.

In view of the relationship of partners, and we are a community of interests.

I tell you all this without reservation.

Right now, the most difficult thing to solve is how to introduce the Huns into it.

In other words, as long as this problem is solved, everything will be easily solved.

in this way.

Yan's family can't even think about it.

The big man is almost a show-stopper.

They want to reap the benefits and take advantage of this opportunity to gain power.

It is necessary to give it all.

As for Yan, he doesn't have that ability.

Zhang Wei didn't think about it.

In other words, to be able to gain a foothold in the Xiongnu, the Yan family must still have the ability.

Without such ability, Zhang Wei would not have the idea of ​​cooperating with them.

in this way.

As expected, Mr. Yan gave an affirmative answer.

Simple commitment.

But it made Zhang Wei and Liu Che beam with joy!
