The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 562 Domestic Support
The internal chaos was so severe that Xubuduge did not receive a decent reception at all.

After all, the Kushans did not have a very good impression of the Northern Huns.

In addition, the Northern Huns were secretly instigating the independence of Kangju and Khwarezm, and completely separated the Northern Huns from the Kushan Empire and did not share any borders with them.

This made the Kushans even more unwilling to pay attention to this hungry wolf.

Subutuge waited in Kushan for more than half a month but gained nothing. After seeing the situation clearly, he had to sigh and leave Kushan.

The death of Hubishka II should have been great news for the Northern Huns.

However, the westward advance of the Han people now turned into bad news for the Northern Huns.

As expected, Xubutugu did not gain any benefit from the subsequent journey to rest.

The Parthian Empire had just temporarily suppressed the rebellions of the Medes and Persians in its territory, but internal instability still existed. It was only perfunctory in responding to Subutuge's request for an alliance and was not prepared to mobilize even a single soldier.

Having gained nothing, Xubuduge had to return to the Northern Xiongnu in disgrace.

With two completely corrupt empires and an enemy eyeing them covetously, the Northern Huns now felt like they were shooting themselves in the foot.

If they had not gone too far before, they would not be in the current situation.

Now they can only fight alone, hoping that the Kushan Empire can be stabilized soon and that friction between the Han people and the Kushan Empire can be resolved as soon as possible.

The Northern Huns were praying helplessly, but Yuan Shao was already ready to send troops.

……

On the huge sand table around Central Asia, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan are deducing the next battle plan bit by bit.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao acted as the Han army, while Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan simulated the response of the Northern Huns.

They had been fighting on the frontier for many years and had a better understanding of the Hu people's way of thinking and fighting. In addition, Yuan Shu and Xu You had infiltrated the Northern Huns and obtained a large amount of information, so they were able to simulate the Northern Huns' response to a large extent.

Although this battle was just a test, it was their first battle to gain a foothold in Central Asia, and no accidents could occur.

The important civil and military officials under the Four Kings also gathered around at this time, some frowning in thought, some talking in low voices, constantly perfecting the battle plan to ensure it would be foolproof.

If the Northern Huns knew about this, they would definitely be deeply moved.

How could I be so worthy of being targeted by four Han forces that are stronger than me?

There are two killing gods, Lu Bu who destroyed the Xianbei and Gongsun Zan who destroyed the Qiang people, as well as Yuan Benchu, the world's number one prince, and Cao Mengde, the treacherous hero in troubled times.

This lineup is a bit of a waste to deal with the Northern Huns, who are now on the decline.

Yuan Shu sat leisurely aside, holding the sweet honey water in his hand, took a sip, and glanced at the sand table.

Listening to the troops he led defeating and luring the enemy in various ways in the simulated battle, he could not help but be speechless.

After all, he was the bandit king of Central Asia, sweeping across the world in recent times, so powerful, but in the eyes of these people, was he so worthless? He could only be used as bait to lure the enemy.

In just a few days, he had seen dozens of ways in which he could be defeated.

In response, Yuan Shao and others just smiled faintly.

What else? Don't you know what your level is? Could it be that playing low-level games during this period of time has really given you confidence?

Yuan Shu was strong, but his strength lay in guerrilla warfare and looting.

As for the level of frontal combat...

Unless Yuan Shu took the initiative to sell his heads and force Ji Ling to explode, otherwise, he would not be ranked among the Han army. In the past, Cao Cao could suppress Yuan Shu's veterans who were much more than him with a group of new soldiers, and completely treated Yuan Shu as an experience pack, which was enough to show how poor his frontal combat level was.

According to paper data, Yuan Shu was much stronger than Cao Cao at that time, but he was never able to fight back in a fight.

After careful consideration by Yuan Shao and others, the strength of the Northern Huns was slightly stronger than that of Yuan Shu, but at most second-rate.

This is a conservative estimate based on the fact that Yuan Shao and others took into account the possible backup plans that Yuan Shao might have left.

As long as he could create an opportunity for a head-on confrontation with the Northern Huns, Yuan Shao would make them remember what it meant to "one Han against five Barbarians."

Although the Northern Huns were located in Central Asia, they were able to improve their iron smelting technology and weapons and equipment by relying on local resources.

But the soldiers under the command of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were all elite soldiers who had fought their way out of the meat grinder in the Central Plains. Their civil and military lineups combined were not even inferior to Tian Ze. How could the Northern Huns compare with them?

While everyone was speculating, Xu You hurried into the tent, his face filled with irrepressible excitement.

"My lord, I just received news from Da Qi. The noble families and their people in the Northeast Plain are expected to arrive in three months at the earliest. It is estimated that it will take about half a year to complete the overall relocation."

"And the Great Qi also sent Zhang Liao to lead an army of 20,000 to provide assistance."

This news was like a shot of adrenaline, instantly injected into the hearts of everyone present.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the tent, which had been a little tense, suddenly became heated.

Finally someone came to bring warmth!

Isolated in Central Asia, even though they are powerful and have a large population, they still feel an indescribable sense of discomfort and lack a certain sense of security and belonging.

This situation is inevitable and cannot be changed by human will.

Just as the enemy forces surrounded on all sides dispersed eight thousand soldiers overnight, the root cause lies here.

The arrival of these aristocratic families and Zhang Liao was undoubtedly a timely relief, filling the gap in their hearts and making them deeply feel that they had a powerful empire and countless Han people backing them up.

Everyone present was cheered up after hearing the news.

Tian Ze once again proved his credibility with his actions.

Yuan Shao, who was originally a little nervous due to the pressure of fighting, now swept away the haze and regained his former heroic and vigorous state.

Yuan Shao clenched his right fist and slammed it hard on the table: "Okay!"

Then he swept his eyes over everyone and announced loudly: "Three months!"

"Within three months, we must take over the southern half of the Northern Xiongnu territory to accommodate the new people."

"Within half a year, we will completely drive out the Northern Huns!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked stern and serious.

This was a military order issued by Yuan Shao, and it was also a death order issued for them.

If we can't defeat the small Northern Huns, how can we attack Kushan and Parthia in the future?
Seeing that everyone's morale was boosted, Cao Cao nodded slightly.

When it comes to boosting morale, he is indeed not as good as Director Yuan.

Just a few words set the atmosphere to this point.
