It was time to rest late at night, and many civil and military ministers of Jin State in Yedu drove out of their homes overnight to the palace. Some people were heavy and full of thoughts, while others were quick and frightened. They met each other halfway. Although they didn't say much, they could see the other's thoughts and understand what the other party had encountered.

He Zeng was not the first to arrive. He Zeng, who was already in his twilight years, was unable to bear both physically and energy after spending money. The He family, which has always been rich and powerful, naturally could not escape in the environment where Jin State donated family wealth.

The transfer from Central Plains to Hebei has caused considerable losses to the family. No matter how rich a family is, they will feel distressed.

After finally reaching the palace, Emperor Jin Sima You was high above with an angry look on his face. Several ministers kneeling on the ground were all officials responsible for the guards of Yedu. More than 20 civil and military men on both sides lined up with different expressions. When they saw He Zeng coming, everyone's eyes lit up!

Wei Guan went to the periphery to set up defenses, and the only thing that the Jin Dynasty could rely on was He Zeng. Even though He Zeng was old and had degenerated in all aspects, he was still the backbone of the ministers.

"It's great that Mr. He came here, so I'll give him a seat!" Emperor Jin Sima You saw He Zeng's haggard expression, and felt a little moved in his heart and hurriedly ordered his side and left and right.

He Zeng nodded slightly, and of course he sat firmly without letting go, and then he said, "Take it up!" As soon as he said, his beloved son He Zun came forward with a wooden box and presented it to the attendant.

Although Emperor Jin Sima You did not open his mouth to ask what it was, there were more than twenty wooden boxes he had seen that night. The bloody smell was not to be seen, and the head of the Hun lobbyist at that time!!

"Old Liu Yuan is very hateful! He actually despised my great Jin so much. I must not swallow this tone!" Emperor Jin Sima You shouted angrily, but his cold eyes swept towards the officials lying on the ground.

Those officials also knew that what happened tonight was extraordinary. So many dead Huns were involved in the capital of a country and lobbying the ministers of various families. This was a great negligence and even cut off the eyebrows of Jin State. His Majesty was furious, and he was worried about his life.

Duan Zhuo, the minister of Jin, came out and said, "Your Majesty should not be angry. All the civil and military officials in the court are loyal people, and it is definitely not a lobbyist who can shake it. Such dead men are Han people, not outsiders, and it is understandable that they are difficult to detect for a while. The most urgent task is whether the lobbyist says is true. If it is true, we should be prepared early."

Yan Zan continued at this time: "Mr. Duan's words are not without reason. I think that we should thoroughly investigate the details of the deceased, and perhaps we can get clues from his whereabouts during his lifetime."

Seeing this, Emperor Jin Sima You suppressed his anger and said, "Listen, please go quickly to investigate the origin of the deceased. I will have a result within three days! In addition, how many Xiongnu's detailed works are still done by me, and I will find out all of them!"

Several officials who were trembling on the ground quickly kowtowed and thanked him, and did not dare to raise their heads to leave the hall to do things. If the investigation is not clear, the people will definitely fall to the ground. Only by finding out the truth can you save your life.

"The Xiongnu lobbyist threatened to break through our defense line in Jin within a month. What do you think this is said?" Emperor Sima You of Jin was very worried about what the Xiongnu lobbyist said. The combat power outside the Great Wall was increasing, and every time the information was sent back was detailed than the previous time. But the more detailed the information was, the more it made the Jin people unable to sit and lie down. The combat power of the various races outside the Great Wall together was far above that of Jin!!

Duan Zhuo said: "I think Liu Yuan is a person who is deeply aware of my feelings for the Great Jin Dynasty. Such actions are just to disturb the mood of the people of our Great Jin Dynasty. If you really have such ability, you can attack directly, so why bother panic?"

This is a pleasing word for the ministers all understand that even if the Huns have such strength, they can do this. In other words, the Battle of Attack on the Heart was one of the means for the Huns to conquer Jin in one month. However, the Jin people could not confirm the plan of the Huns, and they did not want to be so humble and insignificant in front of aliens, so they could only comfort themselves like this.

When Emperor Jin Sima You saw Duan Zhuo’s words, he felt a little relieved and said, “After saying this, you must be careful, and quickly send the King of Yan and the people from all over the country to be on guard!”

Jin Chen Shantao frowned slightly at this time and said, "It has not been confirmed how many dead soldiers the Huns sent to sneak into Yedu. There are already many lords present, but..."

At this point, Emperor Jin Sima You looked at him and said, "What Lord Shan said is exactly. I will definitely get a result when I go to the morning of tomorrow!"

Everyone continued to discuss and guessed that He Zeng just sat there without saying a word. His physical discomfort and the roar in his mind made the Jin Dynasty giant raising look so powerless.

"Mr. He, what do you think?" Emperor Jin Sima You finally remembered He Zeng's presence after a fierce discussion, so he asked softly.

He Zeng smiled bitterly and said, "I am old and weak, and it is difficult to discuss matters. The bad boy has his own opinions. Please allow His Majesty."

For several months, Emperor Jin was always busy with his senior health. Seeing that He had a very poor complexion and weak body, Emperor Jin Sima You nodded thoughtfully and said, "Accurate!"

After celebrating, He Zun said slowly: "The competition between the two countries is about the king, minister, people, generals, and soldiers. All races outside the border were taken by the military forces of the Huns. Compared with our great Jin, the Xiongnu was united. This is not as good as the Huns. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been supported by the government and the people. Although the war continued, the National Day was stable. Liu Yuan held the mobs outside the border for a long time and had no achievements in fighting, and he would inevitably suffer civil strife. The long-term confrontation between the Huns would inevitably lead to defeat. The King of Yan was in the north and had elite soldiers and generals to protect them. The ministers who were outside the border had limited strategies and could not cross the border. Therefore, he used these methods to disrupt our government and the country, and shake the morale of our three armies!"

"As long as Your Majesty stabilizes the hearts of the people, and all over the country watch over each other, you can take advantage of the situation and aliens can be seamless. In the long run, the Huns will lose their might and will be in chaos!"

Emperor Jin Sima You's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he felt happy. He couldn't help laughing loudly when he looked at He Zun!

...

Rong State, somewhere.

Tens of thousands of laborers dig soil and carry stones, dig deep trenches and pile up soil and mountains at the mountain passes north of the belt. Everywhere, foreigners who look like officials are holding drawings in their hands, pointing fingers everywhere, and helping laborers work according to their requirements.

There were more than a thousand alien knights scattered around, and they seemed to have leisurely resting, but in fact they were laborers who supervised this fortification.

Although the Han people in Rong had accepted the facts and were ready to stand firm and fight to the death with the races outside the Frontier! However, it was not pleasant to be enslaved by people from other races, especially the construction and fortifications were very urgent, so they could not carry them at all, and they could not cut corners.

Although they are aliens, they are very strict in supervising the project.

How deep the trench should be dug and how far apart you are, you need to dig another one. Under the already dug trench, dense wooden cones and other objects should be inserted. The top should also be covered with straw mats and thin wooden boards, and then covered with soil, plants and trees to make a pure natural look.

The well-made fortifications must be marked to prevent people from falling into it by mistake. It is not rare to have a name, but it is troublesome to make it again if it is damaged.

The digging of soil and rocks are not wasted. The stones are gathered on the mountains on both sides of the pass, and they are hung up with ropes, or a slope can be removed to push and pull. In short, all the methods that can be used must be used. Even catapults and other items can be transported up the mountain without leaving any of them.

For the iron cavalry outside the Great Wall, the mountains are the best natural obstacle. With the special geographical location here, if the Huns coalition outside the Great Wall attacks, Wang Rong has great confidence to hinder the other party's progress here!

The walls were built with stones as the foundation, and the low walls in front of the military camp became obstacles. These walls were not regular and were everywhere. Even when people walked in it, they had to dodge the walls like streets and alleys, and could not walk in a straight line.

If the cavalry came, they would not be afraid of facing wall stacks of such heights, but if there were wall stacks of such heights in front of them, they would probably not have a place to settle after the horses leaped. The most terrifying impact and mobility of cavalrymen lost all their advantages in the face of such defensive offensives. They could only wait for the infantry to demolish the wall stacks first before they could attack the opponent.

However, the opponent's wall stacks were built within the attack range of catapults, crossbows, archers, etc. It is not difficult to remove the wall stacks. The difficulty is whether they can save their lives after removing the wall stacks. No one is stupid enough to think that this will hinder the ravages of the Iron Cavalry, but at least it will cause a lot of damage to the opponent.

The surroundings of the camp are made of stones and soil, which is many times stronger than ordinary camps. The distance between the five steps outside the camp wall is the trench surrounding the entire camp. The trench is one meter wide and two meter deep. Except for the camp gate suspension bridges on all sides, you can only cross or fill the trench if you want to enter the camp.

It is not difficult to do this, but the casualties paid are absolutely terrible!

Wang Rong led 30,000 aliens to gather in this camp. Seven or eight such camps within a radius of five miles were arranged in an orderly manner, echoing each other. Each camp used flags and horns and drums as a message to avoid the impact of being surrounded and cut off by enemy cavalry.

If the alien coalition forces come, the first thing they have to conquer is the camp of 30,000 people, and then the fortifications at the mountain pass!

Wang Rong sat in the big tent. Although he had one arm missing, he added a bit of ferocity! He almost kneaded the letter group in his palm with one hand. Wang Rong threw the paper ball on the ground and sneered: "Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan, I didn't expect you to be so vicious and you would do everything you can!"

Gu Cha was not sure about this. Seeing that Wang Rong did not object, he shortened his body and picked up the group of letters and read them carefully. He couldn't help but lose his voice: "How could this be so?"

Wang Rong's eyes flashed with a gleam: "If they lead their troops, what do you think I will have the chance of winning?"

Gu Chana swallowed his saliva and said with a hint of bitterness: "These two are very prestige in the clan. If they take action, they may be afraid that the warriors of the clan under the command of the king must be cautious. However, these two are old and no longer concerned about the things in the clan. Then Liu Yuan actually used these two as pioneers, which clearly wanted to dismantle our Rong Kingdom!"

The warriors under Wang Rong collected the remaining populations of all races outside the border. In order to survive, they can be said to be together and shared weal and woe, so that they can achieve what they are today. However, what Wang Rong got was only the remnants of the defeated, and they can be said to be a low-ranking man. Liu Yuan annexed the elites of all races, which are superior combat power.

Competing with the strength of strategy, Wang Rong's mind is enough to make up for the gap between the two sides. However, the tacit understanding of the integration of all races under his command is not the same race after all.

After Liu Yuan found out the components of Wang Rong's combat power, he invited two famous old men from the two tribes with the largest number of people to attack Rong. Although everything was still in preparation, the spy who stayed outside Wang Rong spread the news back.

These two old men are old and are famous and can be regarded as people admired by both tribes. The warriors under Wang Rong's command are still the bloodline of their respective tribes. If they are inspired or influenced, their combat capabilities will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Finally, he mobilized the emotions of the Han people and joined forces with Jin State to avoid Liu Yuan's unresolved pursuit. However, Liu Yuan was meticulous and vicious, so he used such means to try to differentiate Wang Rong's power. Such intentions must not be harmed.

Wang Rong narrowed his eyes and said, "There are more than 10,000 soldiers in the two tribes, and they are the most elite troops under my command. You must not be harmed by this plan. Gucha, then you should urge this fortifications for me, and I should personally turn around and deal with this matter!"

...

Dai County.

Jin State General Hu Fen led tens of thousands of troops to gather here, specializing in the defense of the county and took over the original Dai County people and cities.

In terms of combat experience, Hu Fen was above the generals in the court. His spirit was already gone, and all he had was the sincerest of serving the country. It was earlier rumored that foreign races were coming from outside the border, and everyone in the Dai County was in danger. The wind and cranes were full of soldiers and plants. He was tense and his emotions were careful to be wary every day. The atmosphere was very tense.

Since Hu Fen came to this point, he has reduced patrols and garrisons in various places as soon as he took office, and set up checkpoints on important transportation routes in the county, and there are elite soldiers hidden in the mountains and forests. Each city has passed down methods to defend the city, and the equipment to guard the city must be strictly gathered according to the requirements.

A large number of civil officials flocked to the mountains and forests to collect grass, fruits, firewood and other goods. Half of the income belonged to the individual, and half was handed over to the government to record it and store it as a strategic material reserve. People also need to eat, drink water, livestock, war horses, etc.

Hu Fen divided the entire Dai County into several places and dispatched his capable generals to guard the situation according to the plan. As long as the allied forces outside the border arrived, they would definitely leave but not return!

The large-scale actions can naturally be hidden from the eyes and ears of the frontier, but Hu Fen seems to have no intention of hiding them. Whether it is city defense or patrol, 60% of the manpower has been reduced. Such obvious changes are that the local people can see clearly, let alone spies who specialize in spying on military information?

This atmosphere seemed to be gradually spread to the people. They did what the government asked, but they were muttering in their hearts, was General Hu too careless or confident? He had questions, and the tense atmosphere gradually became invisible, and the pressure on officials and the people was greatly reduced, and the efficiency was improved.

After observing for a long time, a foreign army outside the border disappeared silently. Although the guards of Dai County have been significantly weakened, the scouts wandering on the border have increased by more than ten times! There are several teams of Jin cavalry showing off every day, and these actions are not something that can be learned by internal work, and the continuous scouts and cavalry teams day and night have made it difficult for the news within Dai County to be conveyed out of the border.

"Congratulations to General, the alien army has withdrawn!" As soon as I woke up in the morning, several local officials came to Hu Fen's mansion in groups to congratulate him.

Hu Fen smiled slightly when he heard this, "That was just a Hun's whistle, it's not surprising that Hu asked you to do something a few days ago?"

When several officials heard that it was just a test of the Huns, they all looked a little less happy on their faces, but their complexion was much better than before. Hu Fen is worthy of being a long-time general in the court. In just six or seven days, the atmosphere in the county brought positive changes and made everyone see hope.

Seeing Hu Fen asking, several officials hurriedly said: "The general's orders were done by the Xiaguan and others. The information collected by various ethnic groups outside the border has been compiled into a book. Later, they ordered people to send it to the general for reading. In addition, some Xiaguan and others who still cannot be found out and need additional supplements have sent additional personnel. I believe there will be news within a few days."

Hu Fen nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, so it's great. Liu Yuan used a divisive strategy to target my Jin Dynasty. How could Hu sit down and watch? It's impolite to talk to each other, so let Hu see if the tribes under Liu Yuan can resist rumors!"

Several officials naturally knew about Yedu a few days ago. Dozens of important civil and military ministers in the court were lobbying by the Huns' dead soldiers. Fortunately, the civil and military officials in the court were unmoved and killed by future people and presented them to the current emperor. But even so, such actions angered Long Yan. His Majesty summoned all civil and military officials for a review and ordered the Kyoto guards to find out the reason.

It is said that more than ten ministers were implicated because of this. Fortunately, He Zun, the son of the elder He Zeng, advocated unity, and just saved Yedu from a bloody storm. Even so, everyone was frightened and feared the people outside the border, so they put a little underestimated.

The more dangerous the situation in Jin State is, the faster the internal problems will be exposed. Since Jin State replaced Wei, everyone has strong support on the surface, but how many people are in their hearts because of the times? Even if everyone doesn’t have such an idea, the Sima family finally usurped the Cao Wei territory. Although there is only Hebei, it is natural for Emperor Jin Sima You to have such concerns.

Hu Fen was interested in the tricks of the Huns. This was originally a way for the Han people to subdue the barbarians, but now it was used by the leader of the Huns Liu Yuan to deal with the Han people. For Liu Yuan, who was once a hostage to Cao Wei, China's strategy was deeply influential.

If it weren't for the years when we endured humiliation, how could we have the ability to annex the tribes outside the Great Wall?

But as one of the few old generals in the court, Hu Fen would never allow his country to be trampled on by the other party. Since he wanted to fight, he simply opened his fight. Are you afraid that you won’t succeed?
