The confrontation between the Han army and the Hun army in Diaoyin County continued. At this time, Liu Jing had already received news about Lingzhou. It was expected that Lingzhou was conquered, but what made Liu Jing excited was that after conquering Lingzhou County, Liao Hua discovered and successfully saved the 50,000 kilograms of gold accumulated by the former Qiang King Ah Yan for twenty years.

It was confirmed that it was gold rather than red gold. These golds had been transported into Xiaoguan and were heading towards Chang'an. This result made Liu Jing satisfied. The 50,000 kilograms of gold plus the 100,000 kilograms of gold they owned in stock. Based on these golds, he could slowly control the world from the currency.

In the big tent, Liu Jingzheng discussed the situation in Bingzhou with Sima Yi who returned from the envoy. As early as after Sima Yi and Cao Cao reached an agreement, they sent the results of the negotiation to Guanzhong in a hurry. Now they no longer talked about the negotiations, but were talking about the situation in Bingzhou. When Sima Yi came back, he specially circled the southern part of Bingzhou to understand the customs and customs of Bingzhou, and visited several major gentry members in Bingzhou.

"Your Highness, the prosperity of Bingzhou is really beyond my expectations. Especially the five southern Bingzhou counties, which are densely populated, fertile land, abundant water resources, wheat and rice ripening twice a year, and harvesting every year over year. Only now do I understand why Cao Cao attaches so much importance to the original state. The food in Bingzhou is the fundamental guarantee for his recovery of strength."

Sima Yi was very moved and also had great expectations for the Han army to seize Bingzhou in the future. Liu Jing nodded and smiled: "Bingzhou has a hiking barrier, and it has not been impacted by the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Although some wars have occurred in Bingzhou, these wars mainly occurred north of the original and basically did not affect the southern part of Bingzhou. Therefore, for decades, the southern part of Bingzhou will remain stable, with population growing, and the excess population will migrate to Guanzhong. After we seize Bingzhou in the future, I plan to immigrate from Bingzhou to Guanzhong, give them tax benefits, and let the Guanzhong and Lingzhou areas develop again."

Sima Yi also knew that Liu Jing learned about the situation in Bingzhou from many Bingzhou immigrants. He pondered for a moment and asked again: "When will your Highness attack Bingzhou and win the aftermath of this Huns war?"

Liu Jing shook his head, "After the end of this Han-Hungary War, we will start moving the capital and officially transfer the capital to Chang'an. It will take at least half a year. After recuperation for a while, we will start preparing for the battle in Hefei."

Sima Yi nodded silently, he felt a little regretful. He hoped that Liu Jing could conquer Bingzhou first and weaken Cao Cao's grain production area. However, he also knew that the battle of Hefei was of great importance to the entire situation. If Hefei had been captured, he could control the Central Plains in the north and control Jiangdong in the south. He not only completed the siege of Cao Cao, but also interfered with the civil war in Jiangdong, which played an important role. If it were not for the migration of the capital that triggered the Han-Hungarian War, the battle of Hefei would have broken out long ago."

Sima Yi stopped talking about Bingzhou. He changed the subject and said with a smile: "How is Your Highness going to deal with the Huns? Should you take the opportunity to completely destroy the Huns or leave a weak Huns?"

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "You are a military advisor, I should ask you this sentence."

Sima Yi knew that Liu Jing must have made a decision, so he smiled and said, "It's better for us to write the key answers on our palms and then compare them."

“Interesting idea”

Liu Jing agreed happily, and the two of them turned their backs and wrote the answers on their hands. The two turned around and Liu Jing smiled and said, "I want to read what Zhongda wrote first."

Sima Yi opened his palm and saw two words written on his palm. Liu Jing laughed silently, "Those who know me are Zhongda."

He also opened his palms, and the words Xianbei were also written on his palms. The two looked at each other and laughed together.

Leaving a weak Hun, according to the law of the grassland, he could not look south to the Central Plains, but turned around to deal with the Xianbei that was evenly matched with it. Otherwise, destroying the Huns would only make the Xianbei vulnerable, making the Xianbei quickly become a strong enemy on the grassland. After the Han army unifies the world, it would take time to completely quell the troubles in the north. The confrontation between the Huns and the Xianbei during this period won precious time for the Han army.

Liu Jing then smiled at Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda, please sit down and see how I arrange the funeral of the Huns."

Sima Yi was puzzled, but he didn't ask much, just sat quietly aside. Liu Jing immediately said to the guard order: "Go and bring Daman."

Soon, several guards brought bald Daman in. After Daman was trapped in Luming Valley, he did not desperately attack the city and break through like Liu Qubei, but chose to surrender. He ordered thousands of troops under him to put down his weapons, exposed his upper body, and knelt down in front of Luming Pass to beg for mercy, begging Liu Jing to surrender.

Daman is different from Liu Qubei. Liu Jing will never accept Liu Qubei's surrender and must see his head. However, Daman has important political value to Liu Jing, so he accepted Daman's surrender.

Daman was led into the tent, kowtowed and said, "Greetings to His Highness the King of Han."

Liu Jing waved his hand and smiled, "The King of Suns does not need to be too polite, please sit down."

When Daman heard Liu Jing call him the King of Suns, a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in his heart. Daman was not stupid, but he was chasing his voice and unruly, so he was always regarded as a playboy by Hu Chuquan, and at most he was asked to go on a mission, or to follow the military staff, etc.

But in fact, Daman also had a certain mind. He decisively ordered surrender and bowed to Liu Jing, which saved his life. It was difficult for the Hun nobles who always valued reputation.

Liu Jing said again: "After this war, I think the Huns should have some changes. Huchuquan is not suitable to be the leader of the Huns anymore. I hope the Huns can change to a Shanyu, a Shanyu who is adjacent to our Han army to be good."

Daman sighed and said, "This time the Huns suffered such heavy losses, it is entirely Huchuquan's responsibility. Even if His Highness does not mention it, the Huns will oppose him to be the Chanyu again. His status will be unstable. This time my father will not support him anymore, so he can only fall."

Liu Jing nodded, "Your father Yundan is the second person in the Huns. He is experienced and has great wisdom. I am willing to support him as the new master of the Huns." Daman quickly stood up and saluted, "Thank you for your kindness, but my father has always been in poor health and is old, so I am afraid he has no energy to be the master of the Huns. At that time, all the tribes of the Huns recommended him as the new Shanyu, but his father refused, so that Hu Chuquan could ascend the throne."

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "If your father doesn't want to, then you will be the one who serves as the Shanyu. How about it?"

This is the point that Liu Jing wants to say. He left Daman because he took Daman and asked him to serve as the Xiongnu Khan. This man is a mediocre person, greedy for enjoyment and has no ambitions. With him as the Xiongnu Khan, there will be no worries in the northern frontier.

Daman was stunned for a moment. This was something he had never thought about. How could he have the opportunity to become the Xiongnu Khan? With Liu Qubei and Liu Bao, it was not his turn. He looked at Liu Jing in confusion. Seeing that Liu Jing's gaze was clearly not a joke, but for seriousness.

At this moment, Daman's inner power suddenly burned. Why can't he do it? His father was a powerful figure in the Huns, and he was the only one of his father. The Huns only spoke about their strength. He could inherit the position of Shanyu, not to mention that he had Liu Jing's support.

Daman suddenly understood, and he knelt down again and raised his hand and said, "Thank you for your respect for me. Daman swears here that if I am the Huns' Khan, I will definitely live in harmony with Your Highness. The Huns' army will never invade south. If you betray this oath, heaven and earth will be destroyed."

Liu Jing nodded slowly, staring at Damanson and said, "Based on the boundary I determined after this war, I will not allow the Huns army to commit one step in the south, otherwise I will unite with the Xianbei and destroy the entire Huns. Do you understand?"

Daman wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded, "I will remember."

Liu Jing ordered someone to take Daman down. He turned around and looked at Sima Yi, smiled faintly, and asked, "How?"

Sima Yi gave him a thumbs up and praised him sincerely, "Your Highness is brilliant."

............

A team of scout cavalry ran on the endless plateau. There were large grasslands on both sides, and in the distance were dense forests, extending north and south, connecting with the towering mountains, as if it was a dark green skirt tied to the mountains.

But it was the last day of October, and it was about to enter the middle of winter. In a few days, the Yellow River would begin to freeze, and then it would usher in heavy snow all over the sky. The weather was gradually detrimental to the Huns, and the Han-Hungarian War would also enter the final stage. Whether against the Han army or against the Huns, the last five days would be the moment that determines their destiny.

The scout cavalry rushed up a low hill, and saw the majestic Han army camp in the distance. He shouted for the garrison leader and led everyone to the Han army camp.

The Han army camp has become a wall-shaped structure. The walls are built with wood and soil and stone. They are very strong. A sentry tower is built every fifty steps. There are sentry guarding in the tower and looking vigilantly into the distance.

According to the order of King Liu Jing of Han, the Han army remained unmoved and waited for the opportunity to come. This time was when the Xiongnu of Bingzhou crossed the Yellow River and arrived.

At this time, the cavalry team rushed to the front of the camp, raised the military sign and shouted: "The Scout Battalion returns to the camp, and there is an emergency military situation to report to the main general."

The camp gate opened, and an officer on duty came out, verified the military card, and said to everyone: "Go to the camp"

The scout entered the camp and walked slowly along the horse road under the guidance of the patrol sentry. He came to the front of the tent. A patrol sent out to report. After a moment, a personal soldier from Zhao Yun came out and said to the scout gate chief: "General ordered him to come in and report."

The scout garrison commander hurriedly followed his personal soldiers into the camp. In the camp, the generals were sitting together to discuss military information. When Zhao Yun saw the scout garrison commander coming in, he smiled at everyone and said, "Let's listen to the latest information."

The governor stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to report, "Report to General Zhao, Beizhi led his brothers to discover the main force of the Xiongnu in Bingzhou."

Everyone suddenly became interested, and the big tent immediately became quiet. Everyone pricked up their ears and listened to the scout's report. Zhao Yun asked again: "Where did you find the main force in Bingzhou?"

"Report to the general, it's in Zhanligou"

Zhao Yun immediately got up and came to the sand table, and everyone surrounded him. Zhao Yun stared at the sand table for a moment, pointed to one of the valleys not far from the Yellow River with a wooden pole and said, "Is it here?"

The Scout Chief looked for a while before nodding, "It's here."

Fa Zheng next to him added, "When did you discover the Hun army, what are they doing?"

"Reporting to the military advisor, it was yesterday evening when Bei Yi discovered them, they were stationed in the camp."

"How many troops are there and how well are there?" This is what Ponde is asking again.

"Reported to General Pang, there were about 50,000 people, all of them were cavalry, equipped with leather armor and spears. However, unlike the previous Hun cavalry, this cavalry has shields, and many soldiers' bows and arrows are the same as us."

This is reasonable. The Xiongnu in Bingzhou has been in the Central Plains for a long time. Although they cannot equip fish-scale armor, it is easy to get shields and bows from the Central Plains army. Zhao Yun nodded and said to everyone: "When Cao Cao takes action, we cannot pin our hope of victory on Cao Cao. I suggest taking the initiative, and the first step is to destroy Huchuquan's logistics camp."

Ma Dai stood up and apologized: "The task of destroying the logistics camp will be handed over to the humble post. I only need an hour to pull it out."

Zhao Yun agreed to Ma Dai's request for battle and smiled and said, "General Ma, the cattle and sheep in the camp can also be used by us."
