"... After asking the king to be the general to report, he said he would be kind to him. Our Shao Shanyu had already made all preparations. As long as the later general agreed to cooperate with us, we would provide some help to our Shao Shanyu in food, grass and military supplies. Our Shao Shanyu immediately raised an army to rebel against Jin in Hedong, first taking Hedongfang, then Pingyang, and then directly attacking Taiyuan, killing all the Jin troops in Bingzhou!"

"Also, the villain dared not deceive the king and the generals of Hehou. In fact, the army controlled by our Shao Shanyu is far more than the 50,000 troops he brought from Bingzhou to Hedong. Among the five Xiongnu tribes, many tribes obey the orders and commands of our Zuo Xianwang and Shao Shanyu. With the orders of Zuo Xianwang, these people will be able to gather into an army immediately to support our Shao Shanyu leading the army north to attack Taiyuan!"

"In addition, the Jie tribe, Di tribe and Shangjun Xianbei also have a good relationship with our five tribes of the Xiongnu. After our Zuo Xianwang and Shao Shanyu rose up, as long as we say hello to them, they will definitely raise an army to respond to us immediately. Therefore, the rear general only needs to nod. There will be chaos in the north of the Jin people immediately, so that the rear general can attack Luoyang directly, welcome your Han Majesty and restore your old capital of the Han Kingdom."

In front of the Han army officials who claimed to be engaged in Yongzhou, Liu Mang, the Hun envoy sent by Liu Yuan to contact the Han army, patted his chest and blew it all the way, desperately inciting the Han army to enter into an alliance with the Huns and join forces to deal with the Jin army. The Han army officials nodded repeatedly and asked, "General Liu, if our army forms an alliance, how do you plan to distribute the land and cities in the Central Plains after destroying Jin?"

"Whoever is defeated shall be borne." Liu Mang immediately replied: "We Shao Shanyu said that after the alliance between our two armies, whoever conquered the land and the city will belong to whom we will be, we will never rob the foot of the land occupied by your army. In addition, we promise not to cross the Yellow River. In addition, if your army has any requirements in this regard, we can also tell us Shao Shanyu, and we Shao Shanyu will definitely satisfy it as much as possible."

The Han army officials nodded and asked Liu Mang about the internal situation of many Huns. Liu Mang answered happily and repeatedly expressed his complacent words that he was not only Liu Yuan's fellow tribe, but also had blood relationship with Liu Yuan. The Han army officials nodded and then said goodbye: "Then please wait for a while. I will report the meaning of the noble envoy to the later general and ask him to decide in person."

"Then let me tell you the trouble and ask him to make up your mind as soon as possible." Liu Mang said hurriedly: "The villain has been waiting for five days, and our Shao Shanyu is still waiting for news about the little envoy."

The Han army official agreed with a smile, and then led the guards away from the Han army's guest account and returned to the central army's tent to meet Zhang Zhi. Zhang Zhize, who had been waiting for a long time, smiled and asked, "Wang Changshi, how about it? Now it's time to believe that we have not lie to you, right?"

In fact, Wang Heng, the chief minister under Sima Yichang, bowed and said calmly: "Thank you, the latter general, is very righteous. Wang admires it very much. He also asks the latter general to rest assured. When he meets the Queen of Dongguan, he will definitely report what he saw and heard in your army to the King of Dongguan truthfully."

"Then I won't keep Wang Changshi. The military situation is like fire. Wang Changshi quickly ask him to report." Zhang Zhi urged: "I will find a way to temporarily stabilize Liu Yuan and buy time for your response."

"No hurry." Wang Heng replied calmly: "I'm not hiding the situation after the next general. In order to prevent any reinforcements, our Dongguan king has arranged for King Ruyin to lead 30,000 elite troops to Puban to monitor Liu Yuan. The envoy wanted to write the situation into a letter. Please send someone to King Ruyin to send him to King Ruyin and ask him to take precautions in secret."

"No problem." Zhang Zhi agreed immediately, and quickly ordered someone to prepare a pen for Wang Heng, and said, "As for contacting King Ruyin, Wang Changshi, please leave a follower to serve as the role, which can reduce a lot of trouble."

Wang Heng agreed immediately and quickly wrote a letter to Sima Jun, telling Sima Jun what he saw and heard in the Han army camp, reminding Sima Yi to be careful of Liu Yuan's sudden conspiracy, and then he left a follower as a messenger, and then hurried back to Tongguan to report to Sima Yi.

It was after Wang Heng left that Zhang Zhicai called Liu Mang in front of him and proposed an alliance condition to him, requiring Liu Yuan to send troops to attack Hanoi after the uprising, attack Mengjin and threaten Luoyang, and ask Liu Yuan to ced the two counties of Hedong and Pingyang to the Han army. He then promised that as long as Liu Yuan met his requirements, he would immediately provide Liu Yuan with a batch of good military rations and weapons. He wrote a letter to Liu Yuan and sent Liu Mang back to report.

At this time, the 50,000 Xiongnu army led by Liu Yuan had approached near Puban, and it was naturally very convenient for the Han army to contact Liu Yuan. So in the evening of the same day, Liu Mang returned to the Xiongnu army with Zhang Zhi's reply and submitted Zhang Zhi's reply to Liu Yuan. After seeing it, Liu Yuan laughed and said, "I have a big appetite. I don't want the two beautiful lands of Hedong and Pingyang, but I actually want me to be his pawn and attack Mengjin for him to force the Jin people to retreat."

"It's clear that it's asking for a price all over the world." Wang Mi said immediately: "We should land and pay back the money, and then send an envoy to bargain with him. Hedong borders the core area of ​​the court. We can ced it to them and let them help us block the Central Plains army of the court, but Pingyang must not give it up, and we cannot go east to fight Hanoi. We must go back to Bingzhou directly."

"Flying Bao, then how about you go there in person?" Liu Yuan said: "You understand my mind and know where to make concessions and where to make concessions. You will talk to Zhang Zhi on behalf of me, and you can help me directly to save our negotiation time."

"Dare not obeying."

Wang Mi answered happily and was ready to go to the Han army camp the next day. However, on the second day, an unexpected news suddenly came. Without Liu Yuan's request, Sima Yichang actually took the initiative to send Sima Jun to lead 30,000 troops north to Puban to reinforce Liu Yuan. After hearing this, Liu Yuan, who had a ghost in his heart, could not help but feel a little panicked. Wang Mi comforted: "Don't be anxious Yuanhai. As long as we reach an alliance with Zhang Zhi, we can immediately join forces to deal with Sima Jun. Sima Jun's 30,000 troops are definitely not our opponents to join forces with Zhang Zhi."

"Then you go quickly." Liu Yuan quickly ordered: "The sooner the agreement is reached, the better. Otherwise, when Sima Jun arrives, it will not be so convenient for us to contact Zhang Zhi."

Wang Mi agreed and quickly crossed the river to contact the Han army. He also met Zhang Zhi himself soon, but the negotiations were not going well. Although Zhang Zhi agreed to only Hedong, he insisted that Liu Yuan enter Hanoi and directly threatened the safety of Luoyang. Wang Mi had no choice but to say to Zhang Zhi: "Last General, although we are willing to help you take Hanoi directly, there is no way. The situation does not allow it. If we go to Hanoi, our army in Bingzhou will be isolated and helpless, so there is no way. We can only go north first. Please give us a priority to this."

Zhang Zhi calculated and said after a long time, "Then please take a rest in our military camp for a while. Let me think carefully and I will give you a reply tomorrow."

"Time doesn't wait for anyone, so please give the next accurate reply tomorrow." Wang Mi said: "To be honest, Sima Yichang has sent us 30,000 reinforcements, and we can arrive in Puban within one or two days, so if it is too late, it will not be so convenient for us to contact each other."

"Is there anything wrong?"

Zhang Zhi asked in a hypocritical surprise, and Wang Mi told the internal situation of the Jin army truthfully. After hearing this, Zhang Zhi turned his eyes and said, "Okay, I can accept your alliance conditions, but I have an additional condition. You must kill Sima Jun for me and kill 30,000 reinforcements sent by the Jin thieves, so that we can formally sign an alliance."

Wang Mi hesitated, and Zhang Zhi turned his eyes and said, "Mr. Feibao, don't say that you can't do this. You and the Jin thieves are honorary allies. You can use the excuse of having a banquet for Sima Jun and tricking him into your camp. Then, the knife and axe driver ambushed outside the tent suddenly kill, and it is easy to kill Sima Jun and his confidants. Once Sima Jun dies, the Jin thieves' army has no leader. Isn't it the same as playing if you want to kill the defeated Jin thieves?"

Wang Mi carefully calculated and found that the method proposed by Zhang Zhi was indeed feasible, so he said: "Okay, we can agree to the conditions of the Later General, but there is also a small request. If we are in a stalemate when fighting with the Jin thief army, please send troops to help us."

"No problem." Zhang Zhi agreed immediately and said, "As long as I see Sima Jun's head, I will send troops immediately."

Wang Mi breathed a sigh of relief, quickly said goodbye to cross the river, took Zhang Zhi's reply back to report to Liu Yuan. After hearing this, Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The matter is halfway. As long as we lure Sima Jun, we can rely on the Han Dynasty to expand our territory."

"Yuanhai, in order to avoid the long nights and more dreams, it is best for us to do the faster we should do it," Wang Mi said gloomyly: "I suggest that we will do it the day Sima Jun arrives, so that the court will not hear the wind when he hears the wind, so that Sima Jun is prepared."

Liu Yuan nodded and quickly summoned Liu Xuan. Hu Yanyou and Liu Jing and other confidants discussed the arrangements. He quickly prepared to take action on the day the reinforcements of the Jin army arrived.

…………

Unfortunately, what Liu Yuan and Wang Mi never dreamed of was that at noon the next day, the Han army envoy had already secretly contacted Sima Jun on the way north and told Sima Jun that Liu Yuan was preparing to take action during the banquet. Sima Jun was shocked when he heard the news. After a while, he cursed with a blue face: "Miscellaneous Hu Rongdi, it is indeed not my race, and his heart will be different!"

"Really or not?"

Hu Lie, the deputy sent by Sima Yi, still felt a little unbelievable and said, "While the King of Ruyin, although the last general does not like Hu people, he always feels that this matter is too unbelievable. If Liu Yuan's mistress is really rebellious, why don't he rebel directly in Bingzhou, but he has to wait until he comes to Puban before rebelling?"

"What do you know?"

Sima Jun scolded: "If Liu Yuan rebelled directly in Bingzhou, then our main force would not be able to drive towards Tongguan. He would only go north to give priority to quelling the rebellion in Bingzhou first. Liu Yuan's husband only went to Puban to contact the pseudo-Han thief army before rebelling, so that he could catch us off guard. Then he could use the pseudo-Han thief army to restrain us, and he could quickly take down Hedong with the food and grass weapons supported by Zhang Zhi's rebel thieves to quickly seize a rear with sufficient food and grass, so that he would have the opportunity to continue to grow. Otherwise, how many days could he have to rely on the little food and grass of the five Xiongnu tribes alone?"

"So that's how it is." Hu Lie suddenly realized and said sincerely: "I am worthy of being King Ruyin, and I am indeed proficient in this kind of thing."

"What do you mean?"

Sima Jun glared at his eyes, Hu Lie quickly clasped himself, then changed the subject and asked: "King Ruyin, what should we do next?"

Sima Jun did not rush to answer, and after a while, he said, "We have to guard against Zhang Zhi's thief deliberately provoking discord. Let's do this. After arriving in Puban, we insisted on Liu Yuan's camp, and instead invited him to our camp for a banquet, and then make a decision after seeing his reaction."

In this way, when he was already on guard, when it was almost noon the next day, the 30,000 Jin troops led by Sima Jun successfully arrived outside Puban City. Liu Yuan also quickly asked his confidants to make ambush arrangements, and then went out of the camp to welcome Sima Jun, Hu Lie and others. After some politeness, he couldn't wait to invite Sima Jun and Hu Lie and said, "King Ruyin, General Hu, the last general has prepared a banquet in the camp. Please don't think it's too mediocre. Leave the matter of using a banquet and setting up a camp to the people below to arrange it."

After looking at Liu Yuan, Sima Jun smiled and said, "No need, military affairs are busy, and I have to deal with many important military affairs, so I won't bother you."

"Ruyin King, don't worry about this time?" Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Although our five tribes are poor, there are some rare delicacies in the Central Plains that can be used. We also asked King Ruyin and General Hu to give Mo General a face and go over the camp and sit for a while."

Sima Jun still refused firmly and insisted on returning to his army and commanding the army to establish a camp in the southern part of the Puban Ferry. When Liu Yuan saw it, he was anxious, but he had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of ​​taking action today and prepare to slow down for a day or two before killing people. However, after returning to the Xiongnu camp, when it was almost evening, Sima Jun suddenly sent someone to the camp to invite Liu Yuan to the Jin army camp to have a banquet. Liu Yuan, who had a ghost in his heart, was very panicked when he heard this, and could only ask for advice from Wang Mi immediately.

Wang Mi was also caught off guard by Sima Jun's move. He wanted to persuade Liu Yuan to take the risk of the banquet, but he was afraid that Sima Jun would prepare the Hongmen Banquet to entertain Liu Yuan when he heard the wind. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Yuan Hai, be cautious, it is best to find an excuse to refuse this banquet."

"But what if Sima Jun is suspicious?" Liu Yuan asked, "Also, Sima Jun has arrived in Puban, and many people have known our plan. If it is delayed for a long time, it will be a surprise that the news will leak."

Wang Mi was also a ruthless man. After thinking for a moment, he said, "There is only one way to send someone to reply to Sima Jun. That is, you have something to do tonight and you have to go to the camp to see him tomorrow morning and temporarily stabilize him. Then, while quietly taking down Hu Lin, the military commander sent by the court, he summoned the generals to announce the uprising. Taking advantage of Sima Jun's opportunity to establish a camp, he would send troops to sneak attack his camp tonight, catch him off guard, and try to kill him directly! Even if this fails, we will express our sincerity to Zhang Zhi, and there will definitely be no problem forming an alliance with him."

After careful consideration, considering that many people had already informed him when he arranged the Hongmen Banquet today, and his confidants must have secretly told their confidants that the news of his preparation for the uprising had spread, and the military supervisor Hu Lin, who might be stationed in the military camp at any time, could be known by the Jinting army supervisor Hu Lin, who was stationed in the military camp, Liu Yuan made up his mind and nodded and said, "That's it!"

Liu Yuan and Wang Mi both seriously underestimated Sima Jun. Although he was born with a spoon in his mouth and was named King of the King of Bloodline, Sima Jun was able to defeat Ding Feng, the old god turtle of Eastern Wu in history. So after the news of Liu Yuan's refusal to attend the banquet was delivered to Sima Jun, Sima Jun immediately snorted coldly: "If you have something to do today, you will come to see me tomorrow? Then what do you want to do tonight? Will it have something to do with my camp not stable?"
