Although Sima Yi is now so angry that his lungs are about to explode, his mind does not have any problems because of this. On the contrary, his mind is very clear, and the Southern Huns are dead.
The emperor issued an edict and came without obeying the edict. To the people behind the scenes, it was just a matter of authority. They were just a person who ignored the majesty of the emperor. It was natural for them to destroy you, the Southern Xiongnu.
Among the heinous crimes in ancient times, rebellion, disrespect, and unfilial piety were among them. For this crime alone, the Southern Huns were dead. Going south without obeying the imperial edict would, at most, completely weaken Liu Xie's reputation for those behind the scenes.
the difference.
But to be honest, if Liu Xie issued an edict to summon the southern Xiongnu to Chang'an, but the southern Xiongnu did not come, from a practical point of view, it would probably be a heavy setback for Liu Xie's reputation. Although it would not be as terrible as the other one, it would still be a serious blow.
Definitely not small.
This is almost a two-pronged strategy. The main target of the people behind the scenes may not be Liu Xie. Probably, for the other party, it is not too important whether to weaken Liu Xie or not. What is important is probably to pacify the south.
In fact, while Sima Yi was thinking about this matter, Huchuquan, the Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu, was summoning the wise kings of the Southern Xiongnu to hold discussions.
The Han-Hu war in the north made the Southern Huns, who were close to the front line but had no way to participate, almost frightened. The powerful strength displayed by the Han Dynasty made the Southern Huns almost frightened.
Originally, the Southern Xiongnu saw that the Han Dynasty was tyrannical and wanted to help the Han Dynasty. However, they were coldly rejected by the other party and did not give them any face. Of course, they had no dissatisfaction. After all, the Han Dynasty was in a powerful era.
Therefore, the major tribes of the southern Xiongnu could only watch the battle between Han and Hu in the north with trepidation, fearing that they would be involved in it and that the tyranny of the Han Dynasty would be enough to crush them completely.
"Chanyu, what should we do?" Liu Qubei, the right virtuous king of the Southern Huns, looked at Huchuquan and asked with great confusion.
"According to the emperor's edict, do we have any other choice now?" Hu Chuquan said with a sneer, "If we don't obey the emperor's edict now, when the northern war is over, the Han army will easily wipe us out. They are so tyrannical.
All it takes is one reason to exterminate us."
"But if we go south, the military discipline of our headquarters can barely be controlled. What will happen to the military discipline of most other departments?" Liu Bao, the Xian King of Zuo, also knew that the Southern Huns had no choice at all. If they did not go south, they would not follow the imperial edict, and they would not follow the imperial edict.
If not, for the current Han army, that would be giving them a handle, which is simply looking for death!
"If you can't control it, then give up. If the Han army wants to take action, then give up on them!" Huchuquan said coldly, "We try our best to restrain our own tribe, and then warn other tribes. As for their willingness to
If you don’t want to listen, then don’t worry about our business.”
"That's right. Although the Han Dynasty is said to be violent, they still have to be reasonable. But if we do this, we don't know how many people we will lose." Liu Bao said hesitantly.
"It would be better for any clan member to die than for us to die. In the great battle in the north, didn't you clearly see how strong the Han Dynasty was in the great battle in the north? King Zuo Xian, didn't you see clearly? The Han Dynasty is as strong as ever. If we still look forward and backward,
I'm afraid we can't even protect ourselves." Liu Qubei said coldly, "It's not more than ten years ago now."
Liu Bao's heart sank. Indeed, it was no longer more than ten years ago. In the past, they continued to plunder Bingzhou and even went as far as Hanoi. But now, let alone Hanoi, Bingzhou would not allow them to cause chaos.
Come.
Unable to plunder, the Southern Xiongnu were extremely short of supplies. Although they had certain transactions with the Han Dynasty, the food provided by the Han Dynasty was not enough for the major tribes of the Southern Xiongnu. Many tribesmen died in the White Disaster in the past few years.
among.
As for going south to plunder, what a joke, first Lu Feng stationed in the northern border, then Yuan Shao, and then Cao Cao, none of them gave the southern Xiongnu a chance.
"In this case, let's go south according to the order, and we can each restrain our own armies." Liu Bao sighed and said, "As for the other leaders, ask them to restrain their armies. As for whether they can do it, then
It’s their own business.”
Hu Chuquan and Liu Qubei both nodded and just swept the snow in front of their own homes. They were in trouble now. Due to the military discipline of the Southern Huns, it was lucky that they could manage to restrain their own army.
, as for restraining other tribes, that is really overthinking.
Soon after, Huchuquan notified the major tribes of the news of the imperial edict going south, and also notified the leaders of the major tribes, asking them to restrain their troops going south. As for the effect, Huchuquan himself had no idea.
grasp.
In this way, the southern Xiongnu's march southward under the imperial edict began. The Shanyu of the southern Xiongnu, who thought he could find a way out, completely embarked on a dead end.
The military discipline of the Southern Xiongnu was so poor that no matter what the reason for going south or when they went south, they could not change their habit of looting.
Liu Bao's army marching south, because his soldiers habitually looted, Liu Bao in a rage had killed dozens of people to clean up the army, and finally managed to control the looting habits of his soldiers.
But when Liu Bao saw the envy of those soldiers who robbed other tribes at will, Liu Bao knew that the soldiers under his command would probably be resentful of him. He even knew that if he continued to suppress like this, at a certain critical point, these soldiers would become
Will attack him.
Just thinking about this fact made Liu Bao's hands and feet feel cold, but that wasn't what made his hands and feet feel cold the most. The news that made his hands and feet feel cold the most was that the other tribes didn't take the three of them's repeated orders to clean up military discipline to heart.
There are also many tribes, because they have not been able to go south to plunder in the past few years. This time they went south and scraped three feet of the ground. They looked like "this time they took back all the things that they had not grabbed in the previous years."
" idea
Although Liu Bao and the others did have the idea of letting these people be their scapegoats, the cruelty of those tribes still exceeded the expectations of the three of them. They couldn't help but feel a little worried, and the three of them involuntarily asked all tribes to clean up military discipline again.
.
It's a pity that the other tribes who were having sex at this time didn't take the warnings of the three people to heart at all, and even secretly recruited the soldiers under their command.
Because the three of them had purged military discipline, they themselves made the soldiers under their command envious but did not dare to take action. Under the temptation of the major tribes, they soon began to waver, and many soldiers directly defected to other tribes. Only then did the three of them
Understand how weak they are in controlling these so-called subordinates.
