Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 684: Letter from Wuhuan King Tadun

Then Zhang Sui left the General’s Mansion and headed for the government office with his personal soldiers.

When passing by Tian Feng's mansion, he unexpectedly saw Xu Lan walking out.

Xu Lan heard yesterday that Sun Ren had moved into the General's Mansion.

She thought about coming over to say hello.

After all, legally speaking, Sun Ren is also her sister-in-law.

However, it was too late yesterday and she couldn't come over for fear of disturbing Sun Ren's good deeds.

Now it's the next day, still early in the morning. If I rush over, the other party's business should be finished by the time I get there.

Secondly, I can go there and eat for free.

After staying here for several months, she became familiar with the women in the General's Mansion.

The three meals a day at the General’s Mansion are delicious.

After all, there are many young men and women there.

In order to ensure the growth of the young master and young lady, three meals a day in the General's Mansion were personally prepared by a woman named Ren.

The other maids were just helping out.

This Ren family member was very beautiful. It was said that she even relied on her outstanding looks to induce a fight between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu.

Unfortunately, she is now a cook in the General's Mansion.

Originally, Xu Lan thought that a beauty like Ren would have been taken away by that man long ago.

She was quite surprised to learn that there was none.

It made her feel a little lost.

That man was not as frivolous as she had imagined.

Otherwise, how could Ren have not touched it yet?

My appearance is much worse than Ren's.

Ren was in her thirties, but she looked like a girl in her twenties.

Standing next to her, I felt like a little sister.

I was kidnapped here and cannot leave. Am I going to live out my life alone here?
Just as Xu Lan was about to go out in a hurry, he saw Zhang Sui riding a horse and passing by surrounded by a group of guards.

Zhang Sui also noticed Xu Lan coming out and nodded at her.

Xu Lan curled her lips.

Every time we meet, just nod.

The name of this lecher was just boasted about.

Zhang Sui took his personal soldiers all the way to the government office.

After a morning meeting at the government office, Zhang Suicai, Ju Shou, Chen Deng, Chen Gong, Liu Ye, Xin Pi, Xin Ping and Sima Yi ate breakfast while discussing the expedition against the Wuhuan in the three counties.

It was not until the morning that Lu Xun came in with a bamboo tube and said to Zhang Sui and Chen Deng, "The letter just came from Yijing and was handled by General Zhang He."

Chen Deng laughed and said, "Why would General Zhang He send a letter? Could it be that he has also thought of a two-year recuperation plan and has made plans to transfer 50,000 new troops?"

Chen Gong shook his head and said, "I don't think so."

"I'm not insulting General Zhang He, but I feel that these generals really can't think of this level."

Liu Ye joked, "When General Zhang He returns to Yecheng and hears what you said, Gongtai, I'm afraid he will be furious."

Lu Xun walked up to Zhang Sui, opened the lid of the bamboo tube, pulled out a piece of Saeki paper from it, opened it, and made sure there was nothing unusual inside. Then he held it up with both hands and handed it to Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui took the Saeki paper, glanced at it and laughed out loud.

Everyone looked over curiously.

Sima Yi put his hands on Zhang Sui's shoulders, leaned over, and sneered, "A letter of challenge from Wuhuan King Tadun? How courageous!"

Zhang Sui finished reading the contents on Saeki's paper.

It was indeed a letter of challenge from the Wuhuan King Tadun.

In the past two years, the 50,000 new troops led by Zhang He were stationed in Yijing, cultivating the land and training troops.

Not leaving Yijing.

Just use the Wuhuan invasion as a training exercise.

In two years, 50,000 new troops fought against the Donghu people of Wuhuan in batches.

Although many people died in the battle, it also produced a number of veterans who were proficient in combat.

Wuhuan invaded at least ten times in the past two years. They were always successful.

In the past two years, there has been no success.

Faced with these Hebei soldiers who were hiding in Yijing and would not go away from Yijing more than thirty miles away no matter how hard they fought, the Donghu people of Wuhuan were extremely anxious.

They are not good at siege warfare.

If the people of Hebei do not leave the city to fight, how can they justify themselves as the legitimate descendants of the Yuan family?
Seeing that summer was approaching and the people of Hebei had not left the city, the Donghu people of Wuhuan found the Wuhuan king Tadun and sent a letter of challenge to Zhang He, the commander of the Third Army guarding Yijing.

Tadun asked Zhang He to go out of the city for a battle, and the time was set at noon on the first day of October, at Baideng Mountain.

Zhang Sui read the letter from Wuhuan King Tadun before handing it to Ju Su.

After Ju Shou and the others looked at them one by one, Xin Pi said with a strange look, "General Zhang He seems to be eager to try."

"But this time the credit doesn't belong to him."

"I don't know what he will think after he knows this situation."

Ju Su pinched his snow-white beard and said, "Zhang He's 50,000 new troops cannot go to war. They must be urgently transferred to the area along the Yellow River to guard against Cao Cao."

"Besides, this Wuhuan King Tadun is very evil."

Looking at Zhang Sui, Ju Su said, "According to the information sent from Yijing, the weather in the Wuhuan of the three counties changes erratically every October, and even the locals can't figure it out."

"The Donghu people of Wuhuan are mainly cavalrymen, and they are as fast as the wind."

"In contrast, General Zhang He's 50,000 new troops are basically infantry."

"Once it rains heavily, the roads will become muddy and it will be difficult to march."

"The most important thing is that the food and grass supply will be a disaster by then."

"I'm afraid that even before we fight the Donghu people, the soldiers will mutiniate because of insufficient food and grass supplies."

Sima Yi grinned and said, "So, our three cavalry units will come in handy, right?"

"Since this guy Tadun wants to trick us, let's see who can trick whom better."

"Of course, we can't use 50,000 new troops, but we can still use them as bait."

Everyone nodded.

Zhang Sui saw this and said to Ju Su: "Mr. Ju, write a letter to Zhang He."

Chen Deng ground the ink himself.

Ju Su held the brush in his left hand and pinched his sleeve with his right hand, waiting for Zhang Sui's words.

Zhang Sui said: "Write it to Tadun first and tell Tadun."

"If he wants to fight, then he will fight."

"On the first day of October, my Hebei army will definitely go to battle on Baideng Mountain."

"Who is the legitimate heir of the Yuan family will be determined in a battle."

Ju Su lowered his head and began to write seriously.

Zhang Sui looked at Xin Pi again and said, "Write a reply to Zhang He and ask him to recruit 10,000 elite troops and march quickly to the Yellow River area. Let the First Corps commander-in-chief Shen Rong take over and guard against Cao Cao."

"Tell Zhang He that I will lead Gao Shun's Xianchen Camp, Xu Rong's Feixiong Army, and Cheng Lian's Feihu Army to rush over immediately."

"I'll explain it to him in person when we get to Yijing."

"Let Zhang He do what I want first."

"Also, tell him that the Spring and Autumn Annals and Zuo Zhuan have been updated, but I updated them for him in my busy schedule, so let him thank me!"

Xin Pi also picked up his pen and started writing.

After Ju Shou and Xin Pi finished writing, everyone checked it and confirmed that there were no problems. Then they sent a letter to Zhang He in Yijing by carrier pigeon, and discussed the troops to be sent out to attack the Wuhuan in the three counties.
