Chapter 246: Han Sui offered a plan to burn Liu Wu!
"The Great Chanyu has issued an order. Father shall be the commander-in-chief and lead 30,000 cavalry to immediately dispatch troops to Liang Province to join forces with Ma Chao and Han Sui to besiege King Liu Wu of Chu!"

Inside the tent of Zuo Xian Wang, a young man was announcing the Great Chanyu's military orders to Zuo Xian Wang Liu Bao.

Zuo Xian Wang was dumbfounded. He looked at the young man in disbelief. "A Yuan! How could this be? After receiving the letters from Ma Chao and Han Sui, my uncle strictly ordered all tribes not to get involved in the affairs of the Han people in Liangzhou. He..."

"Why would he issue such a military order now?"

The current Zuo Xian Wang Liu Bao was originally the son of the previous Chanyu Yufuluo.

Unfortunately, before Yufuluo's death, Liu Bao was too young. For the sake of the Xiongnu's inheritance, he could only pass the position of Chanyu to his younger brother Huochuquan.

After Huochequan succeeded to the throne, he did not treat his nephew badly and directly appointed him as the Left Wise King.

Zuo Xian Wang was the most honorable title among the Xiongnu nobles, except for the Chanyu. It was usually held by the crown prince appointed by the Chanyu. Huochuxuan's meaning was very clear. He was directly stating publicly that his nephew would inherit the position of Chanyu a hundred years later.

When Liu Bao was young, he fled to the Han mainland due to the civil strife in the Southern Xiongnu. Because he admired the Han system, he gave himself such a Han name.

The young man who came to convey the order was his son Liu Yuan.

Influenced by his father, Liu Yuan was also obsessed with Han things since he was a child. He even studied blood inheritance and solemnly claimed that one of his ancestors was a princess who married into the Han Dynasty and was from the lineage of King Jing of Zhongshan.

According to Liu Yuan's calculation, his father, Liu Bao, the Left Wise King, was of the same generation as his uncle, Liu Bei Liu Xuande, who was also a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan.

He himself is of the same generation as Liu Bei's son, Liu Chan!

Liu Yuan did not speak, but took out a scroll of bamboo slips from his chest and handed it to Zuo Xian Wang: "Father, this is the letter that the Chanyu asked me to bring to you."

A letter from my uncle?
Zuo Xian Wang was stunned. He took the bamboo slips and just opened them for a glance. His expression instantly darkened. “Is this a letter from the King of Wei?”

Liu Yuan nodded: "Father, you will understand."

No wonder,
No wonder my uncle's attitude towards the affairs of Liangzhou changed so much.

Previously, my uncle was unwilling to interfere in the affairs of Liangzhou because he was afraid of Cao Mengde. Now he suddenly asked me to lead the army to attack Liangzhou because he was afraid of Cao Mengde!

Cao Cao asked the Southern Xiongnu to send troops, how could my uncle dare to refuse?

crunch~
The veins in Zuo Xian Wang's hand holding the bamboo slip suddenly bulged, and he wished he could break the bamboo slip.

Cao Cao is going too far!

"Your Highness, the situation right now is with them, not with you. You must pay attention to this." A cold voice came from behind Zuo Xian Wang.

The hand that was tightly holding the bamboo slips suddenly lost its strength and could not let go.

Zuo Xian Wang turned around helplessly: "Ayan, I, I..."

Standing behind Zuo Xian Wang is a beautiful young woman, who is Zuo Xian Wang’s concubine and also a famous Han Dynasty figure, the daughter of Cai Yong, a talented woman of her generation, Cai Yan, also known as Cai Wenji!
In the second year of Xingping, Dong Zhuo, Li Que and Guo Si successively caused chaos in Chang'an, and the riots continued.

The imperial court was unable to stop the rebellion, and because of the lesson of Dong Zhuo, it no longer dared to allow local princes to lead troops into the capital, so it summoned the Southern Xiongnu, who had been submitting to the capital for a hundred years, to come to the capital to quell the rebellion.

Unexpectedly, after the Southern Xiongnu moved south, they returned to their old ways, burning, killing and looting along the way. Cai Yan was kidnapped by the Xiongnu soldiers at this time, but because of her beautiful appearance, she was presented to King Zuoxian.

King Zuoxian loved her appearance and took her as his concubine.

Cai Yan stayed in the Xiongnu for more than ten years and gave birth to two sons for Zuo Xian Wang.

But a few days ago, the King of Wei suddenly sent an envoy with a large amount of gold, silver and treasures, claiming that he was both a teacher and a friend of the famous scholar Cai Yong in the past. He could not bear to see his old friend's daughter stranded at the border, so he wanted to redeem Cai Yan.

Of course Zuo Xian Wang was unwilling to do so.
But he also knew that if he did not accept these gold, silver and jewelry, what Cao Cao would send him next would probably be forests of spears, mountains of halberds, cavalry and infantry!
He had no choice at all.
But before Zuo Xian Wang could recover from this blow, Cao Cao's new oppression came again...

How could he not be angry?
But what can I do if I'm angry?

"Madam, you are right..." Liu Yuan bowed to Cai Yan.

Cai Yan returned the greeting. In the past ten years in the Xiongnu, Cai Yan's heart had long been dead. Only this "fake son" who yearned for the Han system and performed Han etiquette to her every time they met could make her feel a little bit of intimacy.

Liu Yuan continued to urge Zuo Xian Wang: "Father, don't hesitate any longer! The King of Wei must be staring at us right now."

The King of Wei destroyed the Wuhuan in the battle at Bailang Mountain, and the blood flowed like a river!
No matter what, the Southern Xiongnu must not follow the old path of the Wuhuan...

Zuo Xian Wang was startled, then gritted his teeth and said, "Call the troops! Summon the Xiongnu warriors!!"

……

Outside Longxi City, inside the central army tent.

"Longshan Mountain stretches across the north of Tianshui County. It is extremely dangerous. If you want to enter Tianshui County and reach Longxi, you must pass Longshan Mountain!"

"In the past, Emperor Guangwu of Han was victorious in every attack and battle. Wherever his great banner went, all surrendered. However, when he attacked Wei Xiao in Longxi, he attacked on and off for four years but still failed to take it..."

"Why? It's because of this Longshan Mountain!"

bass! ~
Under the gaze of everyone, Han Sui firmly nailed the sword in his hand to the location of Longshan on the map.

Ma Chao frowned, "Uncle, do you want us to occupy Longshan and keep Liu Wu's army out of Longshan?"

"Stop him outside Longshan? Haha..." Han Sui laughed dumbly and pointed at the leaders of the Hu tribe behind him: "My dear nephew, are you kidding? If we just want to stop Liu Wu outside Longshan, why would we go to such great lengths?"

"How can we take Guanzhong? How can we keep our promise to the leaders?"

The only way to occupy Longshan is to defend it. Now that we have occupied Longshan, there is no need to defend it. What does Han Sui mean by this?
Ma Chao looked surprised.

Han Sui drew his sword and moved the sharp blade downwards again: "From Longshan to Tianshui, there is a deep valley passage. The valley is very wide and long, and can accommodate nearly 100,000 people. If Liu Wu's army wants to enter Tianshui, they must take this road!"

"It is now deep in autumn, and the grass and trees are dry..."

"If we can bury saltpeter, kerosene and other igniters in the valley in advance, and then lure Liu Wu's army into the valley...haha, Zhou Yu burned Cao Cao's 800,000 troops with one fire!"

"Today we will burn tens of thousands of people in Liu Wu, what's the difficulty?"

Gudong~
Inside the big tent, the leaders of the various Hu tribes swallowed their saliva subconsciously.

This Korean date is really cruel!

If this man's plan were really carried out, after this fire, all of Liu Zilie's troops would probably be wiped out!
Ma Chao's lips are dry.

His previous dissatisfaction with Han Sui for humiliating him in public had completely disappeared.

"Great! Great! Great!" Ma Chao's voice was trembling because he was too excited: "Uncle's plan is really great!"

The two major defeats in Chang'an almost made Ma Chao lose all his face, and he wished he could eat Liu Wu's flesh and sleep on his skin.

If I could really defeat Liu Wu in one battle, and wipe out his entire army...

This is more than just revenge.

You know, Liu Zilie is a man who captured Cao Cao and Sun Quan alive and defeated Liu Bei. If he can defeat him miserably in one battle, he, Ma Mengqi, will surely be able to shake the world!

This is what a real man should do!

"Just do as my uncle says!"

boom! ~
Ma Chao slammed his big hand on Longshan on the map and said, "The coalition forces will march out immediately and set up an ambush at Longshan!"
