Chapter 187 The messenger returns, exciting news!

The sky outside the Great Wall was still covered with countless dust.

The clear moonlight reflected on the tent, and the face of Jiangnan Gonglan's face reflected uncertainly.

At this moment, Nangong Yan's mood was very subtle.

I don't know if I'm happy or sad.

The Zhang family gave him the plan, and the Shanyu gave him the promise.

Both of them, like demonic whispers, kept echoing in his ears.

Of course, there is no doubt that the Zhang family is more tempting.

Not to mention, Shanyu's position was what the Nangong family had been planning and thinking about.

Let's just say that compared to the two, it was the Zhang family's plan that tempted him more.

The Chanyu in front of us can be said to be over!

Forced into desperation by the Zhang family's plan.

Furthermore, Zhang Wei asked the messenger to deliver it.

The agent of the Han Dynasty in the grassland.

Doesn't this name mean that the big man is willing to support his family to rise to power?

Not to mention that the Yan family was originally from the Han Dynasty, but if you look deeper, they are connected by blood.

Taking a closer look, at least they are more suitable for a big man to entrust than this group of Huns.

Let's just talk about the role that the Yan family will play in the next plan.

It is worth the promise of the Zhang family and the big man.

As for betrayal and all that.

From the beginning to the end, the Nangong family never trusted the Zhang family, including the Han Dynasty.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the previous promises of the Zhang family to be delayed until now and still not fully fulfilled.

Similarly, it is impossible for the Zhang family to place all their hopes on the Yan family. This is very clear to the Nangong Yan family.

After the disastrous defeat, the Yan family distanced themselves intentionally or unintentionally, which was actually because they knew about it.

Without benefits, there is no need for cooperation between the two parties.

The Zhang family was very kind to him by not adding insult to injury.

It can't be said to be merciful.

It can only be said that the two sides are equal, and the two eldest brothers do not laugh at the second brother.

"I don't know, sir, do you have any news that I need to pass on?"

A respectful voice came from the side, but it directly brought Yan's thoughts back to reality.

"Well, tell the Zhang family to Zhang Wangchuan for me, saying that I will do things according to what he said, but I also hope that he will not forget what he promised."

"Including what he said, everything from my side..."

Halfway through the words, Nangong Yan was stunned for a moment.

Then, a slightly annoyed look appeared on his face.

"No, just tell him, the head of the Zhang family, that I, the Yan family, will do what he says."

He casually waved away the Zhang family envoy in front of him.

Nangong Yan's face was ashen.

Secretly scolded Zhang Wei.

"This family is really well calculated. All the plans were conveyed by messengers. This confirms that I have no evidence!"

This is also Zhang Wei's cleverness.

In ancient times, it was not as advanced as it is now, and there was no recording device.

If you put all your plans on paper, it will be easy for Yan to catch you.

Even some of the things Zhang Wei said could not be said at all.

All I can say is that he is talented and bold.

In order to achieve his plan and to stimulate Yan's ambition, he made some treacherous remarks.

If you really think about it in detail, this means beheading and confiscating your property!

Just now, the Yan family wanted to use this to threaten Zhang Wei.

However, I didn't expect that Zhang Wei had no evidence at all.

It all depends on the messenger's memory and one mouth.

"He is not afraid of something happening to the envoy."

Yanshi shook her head slightly.

To put it bluntly, this is Zhang Wei's gambling.

From the beginning to the end, the cooperation between the Zhang family and the Yan family, or the cooperation between the Dahan and the Yan family.

What's more, there's a lot of gambling involved.

Without him, there would never be a so-called perfect solution in the world.

Some people just think carefully and take advantage of the right time, place and people.

And he, the Zhang family, had never had any experience in war before.

It can be said that these designs were achieved by Zhang Wei after extensive research and relying on the existing conditions.

It's already the best it can do.

Even Zhang Wei took into account people's hearts.

In this way, he cannot guarantee that the plan is foolproof.

Similarly, the Yan family in front of him was even more passive.

In fact, he could only follow the Zhang family's arrangements and follow suit.

It's not that he has no room for resistance.

It can only be said that Zhang Wei cleverly took advantage of people's hearts and took advantage of Yan's greed.

Although all of this is coincidental, it seems more like a matter of course.

Shaking the thoughts out of his mind, Nangong Yan stopped thinking about these things.

The most pressing priority is what should be done on one's own side.

Although the Zhang family had already told the Yan family in detail about their plan.

On the one hand, this plan is naturally difficult to implement.

On the other hand it is.

The Yan family has never been a puppet at the mercy of others. It is impossible for them to do whatever the Zhang family says.

What's more, Yan's family also wants to obtain the maximum benefit!

……

The moon sets, crows cry, and the sky is filled with frost.

This is Zhang Wei’s most intuitive feeling about the late autumn outside the Great Wall.

In front of the screen, from Zhang Wei's perspective, there is a gray-green grassland in front of him.

Among them, most of them are loess-like gray, which looks indescribably desolate under the moonlight.

Just like the feeling in a military camp.

Chill.

As the war approaches, the soldiers in the military camp are naturally becoming more and more busy.

Prepare the army for war.

The atmosphere was undoubtedly tense.

At the same time, there was also Zhang Wei's inner worry.

"Brother, the envoy must have been to the grassland for a long time. At present, the preparations for our army's food and fodder are almost completed..."

Zhang Wangjing beside him hesitated to speak.

Zhang Wei nodded and shook his head.

Then, there was a sudden sigh.

"It's not yet time. At least, we should wait for the decision from the Yan family."

Zhang Wangjing beside him was still extremely worried.

"Brother, the envoy we sent has not returned yet, I'm afraid..."

Zhang Wei interrupted Zhang Wangjing.

"There is no need to say this again. Firstly, my Zhang family has sent more than one envoy, and they are escorted by the golden sign of my Zhang family's caravan. No matter what, they should come back smoothly. Secondly, it is impossible for the Yan family to harm my Zhang family. It is impossible for him to be a messenger, neither emotionally nor rationally. Unless he wants to express his determination to Shanyu... No, it is absolutely impossible."

With that said, Zhang Wei asked the question on his own and denied it again.

Zhang Wei knew very well what Yan was thinking. From the beginning to the end, Yanshi never concealed his ambition.

At the same time, the same is true for him, Zhang Wangchuan.

However, unlike the Yan family, Zhang Wei chose to be more careful.

Also chose a safer path.

Assist the king to ensure that the Zhang family can last for hundreds of generations.

The current situation has changed somewhat.

The Zhang family had an opportunity to intervene in the army.

Relying on previous achievements, if it can be reflected now.

He Zhang Wei can even legitimately ask the Zhang family to gradually extend their hands to the army, as long as the Zhang family expresses its due value.

It's obvious.

This battle gave the Zhang family an opportunity.

From the original Zhang family's seclusion, to the gradual layout of the court, and then to the victory of the first battle between the Han and the Huns, the Zhang family first joined the army.

The Zhang family has now reached the most critical step.

Zhang Wei must have racked his brains.

Even if it concerns people's hearts, Zhang Wei can't be 100% sure.

The Yan family will definitely cooperate with his Zhang family.

but.

Even if the Yan family doesn't want to, it's time for the Zhang family's envoy to come back.

After all, the two sides never reached the point of breaking up.

On the Yan family's side, there was naturally no need to detain the Zhang family's envoy.

Even if it is, he wants to show his loyalty to Shan Yu.

The Zhang family shouldn't start with it.

No matter what happens, Mrs. Yan should be smarter and pretend to agree first, and then...

The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Wei thought about it.

Also, what if the Yan family pretended to agree?

Then, such actions are not just as simple as returning without success.

Even if the Xiongnu took this opportunity to attack the Han's grain and grass in one fell swoop, they would send a small group of elite soldiers to attack Liu Che.

Zhang Wei couldn't imagine the consequences.

Time passes minute by minute.

In front of the screen, Zhang Wei also seemed a little restless.

Zhang Wangjing was even more nervous.

It was okay not to know Zhang Wei's plan. Now that he knew it, Zhang Wangjing only felt a chill on his back.

"Master of the house."

There was a sudden sound from the door of the camp.

"Master, at the gate of our camp, there is someone who claims to be an envoy of my Zhang family and is looking for an audience."

Oh? ?

In front of the screen, Zhang Wei was stunned.

Then he looked happy.

"Quick, bring him in quickly."

Zhang Wangjing beside him also breathed a long sigh of relief.

However, Zhang Wei in front of the screen knew that it was far from time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Even if the messenger brought the news, Zhang Wei could not breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, until the last step, who knows the real choice of the Yan family?

Does he really want to cooperate with Dahan, or is he pretending to obey, or has Dahan already surrendered to Shanyu?

All this is unknown.

But, no matter what, at least the news came back, and Zhang Wei wouldn't be blind.

Not long after, the envoy pushed the tent into the camp.

"Meet the master."

Zhang Wei waved his hand casually.

"How's it going? Did Mrs. Yan ask you to bring anything?"

Facing Zhang Wangchuan's slightly urgent voice, the envoy carefully recalled Yan's reaction.

Then he spoke.

"Master, Mr. Yan seems to be very entangled with your proposal, and even wants to use it to threaten you. But in the end, he seems to have thought that you just sent me to send a message without leaving any evidence. Therefore, he just asked me to Let me tell you, their Yan family will act according to the plan."

After speaking, at Zhang Wei's signal, the envoy slowly withdrew.

"Okay, okay, brother, since the Yan family is willing to follow our plan, the possibility of our plan's success will be greatly increased!"

In front of him, Zhang Wangjing looked a little excited.

Zhang Wei controlled Zhang Wangchuan and slowly shook his head.

"There is no need to be so optimistic. In fact, I don't particularly care about Yan's answer. After all, there are only two ways for him from the Zhang family, cooperation or non-cooperation, and they may want to compete for their own interests. If we want to take the throne of the grassland Chanyu, we must cooperate with my Zhang family."

"However, the content of the cooperation between the Yan family and our Zhang family is not only to help us big men, but even, he can eat both ends."

Faced with Zhang Wei's deep voice, Zhang Wangjing couldn't help but lower his voice.

"Take it both ways, Master, you mean."

Zhang Wei nodded.

"That's right, it's just what you think. He can pretend to agree to my Zhang family, and he can also reveal part of the plan to Shan Yu. For example, what is the plan I asked the Yan family to implement? Our Zhang family will let His Majesty go hunting. , when the time comes, Shanyu will lead his army to besiege Your Majesty."

While talking, Zhang Wei spoke in a smaller voice.

"In order to win the trust of the Yan family, I even made up the reason why our Zhang family is ambitious. In this case, the greater possibility of the Yan family is to let the Chanyu destroy our Majesty, and let us destroy the Chanyu."

"In this way, since the Yan family can ascend to the throne of Shanyu, our Zhang family can also achieve mutual benefits and win-win results with them. Furthermore, with this plan, both of them will have leverage..."

Listening to Zhang Wei's description, Zhang Wangjing's eyes gradually widened.

He even felt a little trembling in his heart.

"Of course, Wangjing, I have never had such an idea. This is just a strategy to paralyze the Yan family. My plan is naturally to use our Majesty as bait to let the Yan family lead Shanyu into our big man's trap, and, as far as possible, Your Majesty’s protection!

"And in this way, when the Yan family sees that both parties can benefit from each other, they will naturally relax their vigilance. When the time comes..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Wei didn't say much. Zhang Wangjing naturally knew what Zhang Wei meant. When the time comes, the Yan family would definitely not be able to escape.

This is beyond doubt.

Why did they try so hard to annihilate the Xiongnu? Even if it didn't work, they would also rack their brains to annihilate the Shanyu together?

In fact, as long as the Han Dynasty gradually annexed the entire grassland and wiped out the Xiongnu's effective strength, they would have been able to achieve their goals.

However, Zhang Wei not only wants to do this, but also wants to wipe out Shan Yu in one fell swoop and avoid future troubles forever.

The purpose is because Shanyu is actually cunning.

Moreover, like Liu Che, he is also a wise king, and his ability to lead the army is even more powerful.

After all, the Huns were born to follow the laws of the jungle.

On the grassland, only the most powerful and ferocious wolf king can win the recognition of everyone.

In this way, if a cunning wolf cannot be killed in one go, Zhang Wei is really tossing and turning.

In addition to Chanyu, there is also the ambitious Yan family.

Now that Shan Yu has fallen from power, Zhang Wei doesn't mind getting rid of the Yan family.

No one can escape!

Nothing more than that, as an ambitious careerist, the current Yan family even did not hesitate to betray the Huns and cooperate with the Han for the sake of profit.

If they are not protected, the Yan family will become hostile to the Han for greater interests in the future.

Moreover, being able to endure this far shows Yan's patience.

If given the chance, Zhang Wei would definitely not mind getting rid of the Yan family.

Even if they are removed, the Xiongnu must be defeated without any trace of climate.

It is absolutely necessary to severely weaken the Huns' vitality, or even destroy them.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

Zhang Wei has always pursued this.

Furthermore, for the development of his Zhang family.

The Zhang family must have a share of the achievements this time, and the Zhang family is bound to take advantage of this to achieve success!
