Chen Qun returned to the Guiguan Inn where he lived in frustration. He finally made two requests, but Liu Jing refused. One was that the Han State wanted the Han State to hand over the Xiongnu prisoners of war in Bingzhou to the Wei State. Liu Jing did not agree, but instead asked them to hand over the Huns, women, children, elderly and weak to the Han State. Both sides wanted to compete for the population of more than 200,000.

Secondly, he wanted to sign a settlement agreement, that is, the settlement reached by Cao Pi on his last mission to the Han State, Liu and Cao married each other to deal with the Huns, and secondly, the Han State stopped the battle of Hefei, and the Han army withdrew troops from Chaohu, and a consensus was reached.

But it was just an oral agreement at that time. This time Chen Qun went to the Han State to sign a formal written agreement to avoid the outbreak of the Hefei Battle. This was Chen Qun's real purpose in his mission to the Han State, and to avoid or delay the Han army's attack on Hefei as much as possible. Liu Jing rejected Chen Qun's request on the grounds that the Battle of the Huns had ended, which meant that the possibility of the Battle of Hefei was increased.

In the room, Chen Qun paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, carefully savoring the details of today's visit, and thus inferring Liu Jing's true intention. He remembered that when he proposed to welcome the bride in April, it caused a slight commotion in the court, especially Jia Xu and Fa Zheng were both shocked. Obviously, they were very sensitive to this time point. Is the Han army really planning to attack Hefei in April?

As he was thinking, a confidant follower came hurriedly and whispered: "Report to the Chief of the Central Committee, Song Jin has sent someone."

Song Jin was the head of the Wei State's intelligence in the Han State, appointed by Cao Pi to replace the original Yang Tian. This time Chen Qun was on a mission to the Han State, and he also planned to get some information from them.

Chen Qun nodded, "Take him to see me."

After a moment, the follower led a thin man into the room. The man knelt down and bowed: "I am not aware of Zhang Yang's visit to Zhongcheng."

Zhang Yang is the former Zhang Lu'er. They have moved from Chengdu to Chang'an. Zhang Lu'er was promoted to deputy commander before Yang Tian left. Chen Qun sat down and said, "No gifts."

Zhang Yang stood up and said, "I came here in the afternoon and said that Zhongcheng had gone to Weiyang Palace."

"Yeah," Chen Qun snorted. Seeing Zhang Yang's appearance was vulgar and had a donkey-headed appearance, he was displeased and asked: "You have been doing things very badly recently, which made the elder brother dissatisfied. Do you know what your problem is?"

Of course, Zhang Yang knew that when Yang Tian was in office, he got the Pingzhangtai deliberation record, but it was no longer there. It was normal for Cao Pi to be dissatisfied. He sighed helplessly: "It is mainly that Liu Jing's chief of warehouse cadres Lin Sheng was promoted to the magistrate of Shuofang County. After being transferred from Chang'an, we lost important sources of intelligence, but we are also looking for new sources of intelligence."

"This has nothing to do with me. I am just here to convey the order of the eldest son, and I will order you to make sure that the Han army's combat plan against Hefei before the end of the year. If it is not completed, it will be treated as military law."

Zhang Yang's face changed in fear, and he said for a while: "We will definitely do our best."

At this moment, the entourage just now rushed into the courtyard again and reported: "Report to the Chief of the Central Committee, Sima Yi is looking for a meeting outside."

Chen Qun was stunned. Why did Sima Yi come? He quickly ordered: "Please sit in your guest room for a while, and I will come soon."

After the entourage went, Chen Qun asked Zhang Yang again, "What else do you have to say?"

"There is also that we have insufficient funds. Please tell the Chief Secretary to the Chief Executive that the funds are insufficient, and I am afraid that a lot of information will not be able to be purchased."

"I see"

Chen Qun really hated this person in his heart. He didn't do anything and just called for not enough money. It was probably a big mistake for the Changgong to use such a person to collect information from the Han Dynasty. He ignored Zhang Yang, snorted heavily, got up and walked out.

In the guest hall, Sima Yi was waiting calmly for tea. He had just come from Weiyang Palace and said something that was difficult to tell Chen Qunming in the court that he needed to meet in private and talk in detail.

At this time, Chen Qun quickly walked into the lobby and bowed, "Let Sima Shangshu wait for a long time."

"Sima Yi disturbed Zhongcheng's rest wherever he was."

After the two of them sat down, Sima Yi smiled and said, "The court has only roughly decided on the wedding period, and there are still many specific details that have not been discussed in detail with the Chief of the Central Committee. I was entrusted by the King of Han and want to discuss the details of the wedding with the Chief of the Central Committee."

Although Liu claimed to be the man who was the marriage partner of Liu and Cao, Chen Qun just laughed it off and did not really take Liu seriously. Liu's marriage was actually a major political decision, a political compromise between Liu Jing and Cao Cao. The negotiations were finally reached in recent years.

The relationship between Liu and Cao changed from a bloody battle to a life-and-death battle to a political struggle with room for room for room for maximization of the population and economy of the Central Plains.

Therefore, the marriage must be led by the highest authority of both parties. Liu does not have this qualification, and Sima Yi is the real master of marriage. However, Chen Qun is very confused now and has no intention of taking into account the marriage matter for the time being. He is more concerned about the battle of Hefei.

He asked anxiously again: "Can Zhongda tell me that the battle in Hefei is really inevitable?"

"I know that the real task of long trips is to avoid the battle in Hefei, but I really can't answer you. I was also a military advisor in the past. I know that the outbreak of a battle will be inevitable and accidental. If Wei must avoid the battle in Hefei, then Wei Gong needs to find a way to eliminate the inevitable conditions for the outbreak of the battle in Hefei."

"What, for example?" Chen Qun asked tentatively.

Sima Yi spread his hands and said with a smile: "I can't answer this question, I think Mr. Wei should be clear in his heart."

Chen Qun nodded silently. At this time, Sima Yi said softly: "I am here to see the elders on the order of His Highness of the King of Han. I hope that the elders can stay and be loyal to the Han Kingdom. When His Highness of the King of Han talked about the abolition of corporal punishment and the abolition of existence, he admired his elders' talents very much. After the Han Dynasty unified the world, he would formulate a new Han law and hope that the elders would preside over the compilation."

Chen Qun didn't say anything for a long time. After a long time, he stood up and bowed to Sima Yi, "Please tell His Highness the King of Han that Chen Qun is willing to do his best to revive the Han Dynasty, but not now. When the time is ripe, I will definitely come to serve the King of Han."

Sima Yi stood up and smiled and said, "I will tell Your Highness, in addition, when will I go back and report my life?"

"I plan to leave tomorrow"

"I'll leave with Chang to Yedu tomorrow. As the special envoy of the Han King, I will talk to Duke Wei about the resettlement of the Huns."

After November, a blizzard came to a continuous stream in the north, causing the snow in the vast grassland areas north of Guanzhong to Yinshan to reach the depths, thus trapping tens of thousands of troops from Huchuquan on the uninhabited plateau.

However, due to the blockage of the mountains such as Liupan Mountain in Longxi, the snow accumulation process is better than that in the north of Guanzhong. As long as you are well prepared, you can still walk slowly on the snow. Therefore, you can still see camel caravans that stretch for several miles from time to time on the official road to Hexi.

That morning, an army of 20,000 cavalry appeared in Zhangye County. The army was head coached by Zhao Yun and Pang De as deputy general. The army set off from Chang'an and brought a large amount of food and grass. It marched hard for nearly a month before it arrived in Zhangye County.

This time, Zhao Yun's mission to advance west was to completely wipe out Liu Qubei's core tribe, and it was also the largest tribe of the Huns, with nearly 100,000 people. They originally lived in the Hetao Plain, but in September, the entire tribe moved to Juyanhai. Liu Qubei planned to occupy Lingzhou and Hexi Corridor after defeating the Han army and establish the Western Hun Empire.

But Liu Qubei's dream was eventually shattered. They were defeated by the Han army, including him, and he died on the straight road. The nearly 100,000 elderly, weak women and children who remained in Juyanhai and the huge wealth in their hands became a fat sheep without the protection of the army.

Liu Jing knew that many forces were trying to make the big fat sheep, including the Qiang people in Hexi, the Southern Xiongnu headquarters in Yinshan, the Xianbei people in the north of the Mo and the Kushan people in the Western Regions. Once spring begins, these forces will pounce on the big fat sheep like wolves, or the large tribe will leave Juyanhai and move westward.

Therefore, Liu Jing must encircle and annihilate this tribe before the beginning of spring, transform them into Han people, and enrich the population of all counties in the pass.

Zhao Yun's army was still twenty miles away from Zhangye City and stopped slowly. At this time, a soldier pointed to the front and shouted: "General, there is a team coming in front."

The sun shone on the white snow, which was very dazzling. Zhao Yun put his hand on the curtain and looked into the distance. He saw a team of small black dots appear on the snowy field. This was either Hu Shang's camel team or Hexi army.

After a moment, the team approached Zhao Yun's army. It was indeed a cavalry team with about a thousand people. It was Ma Chao. Liu Jing initially planned to let Ma Chao lead his army north to Juyanhai, but later considering that Ma Chao's troops would attract the interests of the Qiang people in Hexi, a little carelessness would lead to a massacre. In the end, Liu Jing decided to let Zhao Yun lead his army to encircle and annihilate Liu Qubei's tribe.

Although Ma Chao had a little objection to this, he still obeyed Liu Jing's arrangement and allowed him to assist Zhao Yun in completing the Huns' migration.

Ma Chao urged him to step forward and smiled at Zhao Yun, "I thought the Dragon Club could not pass, but I didn't expect the army to enter Hexi. Thank you for your hard work."

In terms of military official positions, Zhao Yun is the same as Ma Chao. Ma Chao served as the general of Zhenxi and the governor of Hexi, while Zhao Yun served as the general of Zhenbei and the governor of Heshuo, but there are differences in titles. Zhao Yun was awarded the title of Marquis of Jixian because of the great victory of the Xiongnu, while Ma Chao was promoted to Marquis of Xixiang, which was one level lower than Zhao Yun's title.

However, Zhao Yun was modest and low-key, and he replied with a smile: "Although the snow is thick, it is much better than Gaonu County. After a difficult march, he still arrived in Zhangye as planned."

Ma Chao smiled slightly, "It will be much easier to go to Juyanhai when you arrive in Zhangye."

"How do you say this?" Zhao Yun asked hurriedly.

Ma Chao waved his hand and said, "Putting a tent"

Immediately, several soldiers cleared out a piece of land, built a large tent, and laid a blanket. Ma Chao smiled at Zhao Yun and said, "Please."

Zhao Yun nodded and turned to Pang De and said, "Send the order to camp and rest on the spot."
