Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Of course, there are undoubtedly undercurrents beneath this apparent calm.

In the newly established camps of the Hu people around Luoyang, Han Sui felt very annoyed trying to resolve the conflicts among the tribes as they set up camp.

Han Sui, dressed in scholar's clothes and wearing many ornaments made from bones of the Qiang people, looked like a half-Hu and half-Han.

The main force of the Hu people has been surrounding Luoyang for four days, but many tribes are still arguing about where to set up camp. Some think that their own tribe's location is too small, or too far away, or they can't stand the fact that the tribe they have a lot of hatred for has a better location...

This made Han Sui feel that the Hu people were really crude and stupid and could not be used for any important tasks.

It had been four days and the siege on the city had not even started, making Han Sui anxious and helpless. He had to do his best to mediate.

Among them, the Xianbei undoubtedly had the most serious problem.

As the overlord of the grassland today, the Xianbei, who defeated the Han Dynasty during the time of Tan Shihuai, are now internally divided into three parts, without even a unified voice, and are often attacking and robbing each other.

Even though the three Xianbei tribes were all persuaded by Han Sui to send troops here, conflicts broke out among them when they involved areas that could not be called interests, which really made Han Sui feel a little tired.

Looking back to the battle against Dong Zhuo in the past, the coalition forces were more powerful and the internal factions were more complicated, but the army of hundreds of thousands marched and set up camp in an orderly manner. How could they have been dealing with such trivial matters for four whole days?

In particular, Han Sui discovered that some tribes that had already set up camp began to secretly go out to plunder and rob the surrounding areas.

This made Han Sui feel even more anxious about the future. He knew that if he kept dragging things out like this, the other tribes would not want to suffer any loss and would not want to fight to the death in Luoyang. So they started to attack the surrounding areas first.

This group of rabble will probably scatter like birds and beasts sooner or later.

Han Sui did not dare to delay any longer, and without caring about the minor conflicts among some tribes, he directly began to persuade all parties to hold a military meeting.

However, as the military meeting was about to begin, Han Sui heard a chaotic quarrel inside the tent before he even entered the tent.

"Okay, okay, since you Xianbei people look down on us Qiang people, then I will take the Qiang people away. I will give you Luoyang, but according to the agreement before the troops were dispatched, the land of Sanfu should belong to us Qiang people."

"Wait a minute, King Mi Dang, the three abbots also have a share of the Xiongnu. Is it appropriate for the Qiang people to take all of them?"

"Humph, you Qiang people and the Xiongnu have spent so many years and have not been able to conquer the Three Auxiliary Lands. Today, you were able to conquer the Three Auxiliary Lands. It was because we, the Xianbei people, have tied down the Han army in Bingzhou."

"Could it be that you Xianbei also want the Sanfu area? Don't be too pushy. According to the agreement, Bingzhou is your territory."

"Bullshit! As early as when the old Chanyu was alive, five counties in Bingzhou had already belonged to us Xianbei. Sooner or later, the entire Bingzhou will be in our Xianbei's pocket."

"That's right, the agreement states that we will work together to capture Luoyang and capture the Han Dynasty's prime minister. Then we Xianbei will take Ji and Bing, and you Qiang people and the Xiongnu will be divided into Liangzhou, and the Wuhuan will occupy Youzhou.

Now that Luoyang has not been captured, you want to take away the Three Auxiliary Lands and Liangzhou without fighting. How can such a good thing be possible?"

"So, you Xianbei are planning to have a fight?"

"Just do it, who's afraid of who..."

Hearing the sound of swords being unsheathed in the tent, Han Sui rushed in and shouted to stop.

Han Sui's appearance eased the tense atmosphere in the tent a little.

"Everyone, stop. We are facing a powerful enemy. If there is a civil war, won't we be taken over by the Han army?" Han Sui said to comfort them.

"It's not our fault. It was clearly the Qiang people who were trying to escape from the battlefield..." "Heh, wasn't it you Xianbei who looked down on the Qiang people first?"

"Others are afraid of you Xianbei, but we Xiongnu are not."

"The Northern Xiongnu have already been driven away from this grassland by our Xianbei. You Southern Xiongnu were just relying on the Han Dynasty..."

Seeing that the Hu people from different tribes were once again on the verge of a conflict, and it seemed that another conflict would break out at any time, Han Sui didn't care about anything else and grabbed a piece of porcelain beside him and smashed it to the ground.

"Snapped!"

This movement caused the Hu people's movements to stiffen slightly.

Han Sui strode through the crowd with big strides, separated the Hu people on the left and right, walked to the middle of the big tent, and then spoke.

"Have you forgotten our purpose? If we fail to capture Luoyang and Han Dynasty Prime Minister Li Ji, we will either become a dog of the Han Dynasty or follow the example of the Northern Xiongnu and flee to the grasslands, never to look south again."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Hu leaders from different tribes all changed.

It would have been fine if it was the Qiang people and the Southern Xiongnu, as they had the habit of plundering Han territory over the years, otherwise Emperor Ling of Han would not have spent more than 360 billion coins on military expenditures during his reign.

(PS: The military expenditure of over 360 billion coins is based on the statistics in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Duan Xing.)
As for the fact that the three Xianbei tribes gave up their conflicts and joined forces to move south, this was undoubtedly due to Han Sui's lobbying, which made the three Xianbei tribes aware of the threat posed by the Han Dynasty, which was about to rise rapidly again.

At this time, a voice neither loud nor soft came from the tribal leader on the Xianbei side.

"This is just your personal opinion..."

This made Han Sui's face darken slightly. Even though Han Sui tried his best to persuade the Hu people to move south, his purpose was naturally to use the power of the Hu people to gain his own benefits.

But if such remarks were allowed to spread secretly, it would not only affect Han Sui's status, but would also shake the determination of these Hu people to send troops.

"One family's opinion?"

Han Sui pointed in the direction of Youzhou and said, "Don't you know what happened to the Wuhuan people in the fourth year of Zhongping?"

"After the then Han Dynasty Prime Minister Li Ji defeated the Wuhuan people, he treated them almost like a herding dog, and they could not turn things around for many years.

How many Wuhuan women and children could only watch helplessly as their own sons were forcibly conscripted just as they came of age, and could not see them for three to five years.

"Doesn't this explain Li Ji's attitude towards us? Li Ji is now the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. Once he helps the King of Han to unify the world and revive the Han Dynasty, will the Xianbei, Qiang, and Southern Xiongnu be able to escape Li Ji's reckoning?"

"Or do you think you have never done such things as plundering the south, killing Han people, or occupying Han territory?"

"Or, are you willing to give up the Hetao region, or even the Xianbei willing to completely withdraw from Bingzhou?"

These questions caused the expressions of the Hu people present to change significantly.

Especially the last sentence, which undoubtedly hit the sore spot of the Southern Xiongnu and the Xianbei.

The Hetao region is now mainly occupied by the Southern Xiongnu and the Xianbei, and the part of Bingzhou they have occupied has become the lifeblood of the Xianbei. (End of this chapter)
