Chapter 174 The Huns

"Your Majesty wants to attack the Xianbei in the north, but should he recruit the Huns?"

"Of course..." Liu Bian replied without hesitation: "They eat ours and live in ours. Now that I want to fight against the Xianbei in the north, they will of course work. There is no free lunch in the world."

Pei Mao smiled. Liu Bian's words were very vulgar, but the truth was very practical. The simple words revealed the master's pride and confidence. Even when the Han Dynasty reached this point, Liu Bian still did not lose the dignity of the Central Plains dynasty. However, dignity must be maintained with strength. I hope that Liu Bian can still show his power like in Songgao Mountain, defeat the Huns and Xianbei people, and revive the greatness of the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the Huns will probably not be able to send troops for a while."

"The Huns' civil strife?" Liu Bian was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't you listen to you?"

Pei Mao was also surprised: "Your Majesty doesn't know? Didn't Yu Fuluo go to the palace to sue? I also sent memorials to the court, and Your Majesty should know."

Liu Bian frowned: "Maybe because I was not feeling well recently, so they didn't come to disturb me. What's going on? Tell me what happened."

Pei Mao did not ask again. He had been through the officialdom for a long time and knew that this was definitely not as simple as a momentary negligence. He told the story of the civil strife of the Huns.

In the 24th year of Jianwu, the Xiongnu split into two parts, the south, and moved into the Han territory. They first established the Shanyuting in Wuyuan, then moved to Yunzhong, and finally moved to Meiji in Hexi County. They stationed in northern land, Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Yanmen, Daijun, Shanggu and other places. There were more and fewer tribes, tens of thousands, and the fewer were thousands.

The Huns lived in the territory of the Han people. They usually herd horses and shepherds, and they fed their own strength. They sent troops to help in wartime and went to war with the Han people. The Han people offered 1.19 billion yuan of the Huns every year, and recruited the Huns as cavalry during the war, which was mutually beneficial. At the beginning, the cooperation between the two sides was pretty good, the frontiers of the Han people were peaceful, and the lives of the Huns were also stable, and there was a harmonious scene.

But in recent years, there have been no way. Internal disputes have occurred in the Han Dynasty. The recruitment and rebellion have increased. The number of rebellions has increased. The increase in rebellion has also hurt each other's trust. In the fourth year of Zhongping, Zhang Chun, a former prefect of Zhongshan and a native of Yuyang, rebelled. The court recruited the Huns to go to war. The Huns were afraid that there would be too much casualties. They raised an army to rebel and attacked the Shanyu Qiangqu.

After Qiang Qu's death, his son Yu Fuluo made him the Shanyu. However, those who killed Qiang Qu were worried about revenge, so he set up the Marquis of Xubugudu as the Shanyu and raised an army to attack Yu Fuluo. Yu Fuluo was unable to support him and had to ask for help from the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Yu Fuluo himself is not in Meiji, so he should be in Luoyang. Since Liu Bian didn't know, he didn't know where he was. With the habits of the Huns, he might have become a bandit, and he might even be recruited by Yuan Shao and become a mercenary.

"Who is in Meiji now?"

"Horse Xubu Gudu."

"Let him come to see me." Liu Bian sneered: "Otherwise, I will destroy him immediately."

Pei Mao smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Xubu Gudu has more than 10,000 cavalry, are you waiting..."

Liu Bian shook his head: "Soldiers are of great speed. Although I have only brought five thousand elite cavalry, I have dragon cavalry, so it's still a matter of destroying them."

Pei Mao was about to persuade him again, Pei Qian smiled and pulled Pei Mao to the city wall, pointed to the Dragon Cavalry Camp not far away, and said with a smile: "My father, do you know what kind of person the three thousand dragon cavalry are? There are at least so many powerful generals who understand their fate."

Pei Mao watched Pei Qian's hand go back and forth, his eyes lit up, and then his face slapped Pei Qian on the back of his head with a "slap" slap, cursing: "Shu Zi, is he still talking in front of me, and he is still a martial arts Xuanxu? How many are there? Just say it, what claws are there?"

Pei Qian patted his head speechless.

Pei Mao returned to Liu Bian and bowed: "Your Majesty, the old minister is not talented, so he recommends himself and goes to Meiji."

Liu Bian smiled and said, "Pei Qing, don't bother you. I'd better come to you to save time. Wenxing, you can take the lead and let the Hou of Subu Gudu come to welcome me."

Pei Qian replied loudly. Pei Mao glared at him, then said, "Come to see me later, I will explain the situation of the Huns."

...

After traveling west from Yanmen for more than 500 miles, you will reach Hequ. Hequ is, as the name suggests, the bend of the Yellow River.

The Yellow River comes from the north, turns a small bend here, then turns west, and then goes south. Until here, the water of the Yellow River is still clear, at least not as turbid as in Hedong, and of course it does not have that momentum. The Yellow River here is not like the Yellow River, but rather a bit like the Jiangnan water town in Liu Bian’s memory, but the surrounding scenery looks much more atmospheric than the small towns in Jiangnan.

Looking at the surrounding mountains and rivers, Liu Bin was refreshed and felt refreshed.

People need elegance, but if you stay in an elegant atmosphere for too long, you will inevitably get weak. Therefore, modern people in the 21st century like to hike and cyclize in Tibet, just want to enjoy the instinctual feeling of being away from the city and being close to nature, open up their own state of mind, strengthen their bodies, and also a new fashion.

However, compared with Liu Bian's expedition, theirs are all pediatrics and are not worth mentioning.

Taking three thousand dragon cavalry to the battle, he was invincible in the world. This is more enjoyable than any self-driving trip.

"Your Majesty, it's so beautiful here." Cai Yan rushed over on a peach-spotted mare with a smile: "I really want to live here for a few years and not go back to Luoyang City."

Liu Bian smiled and thought to himself that of course you think you are beautiful now, but if you are lying on the back of a horse, you may not feel beautiful anymore.

This time he went on the expedition, he did not take a car as usual, but rode all horses. Even most of the baggage was carried by horses, and there were no more than ten vehicles accompanying him. On the one hand, he did this to march quickly, and on the other hand, he wanted to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and increase cohesion.

Generally speaking, not to mention the emperor, even ordinary generals and soldiers are far from the treatment of ordinary soldiers. The most famous example is that the famous general Huo Qubing went to war and brought his own chef. The soldiers had dishes, but there was still meat in his camp. Huo Qubing was like this, let alone others. There are definitely few generals who can truly share the joys and sorrows with their subordinates.

As for the emperor, let alone. When the emperor goes to war, most of the marching costs may be provided to the emperor and his entourage. Therefore, the emperor always burns money when going on tour. Liu Bian has no money now, so he has to set an example and starts streamlining from himself.

Apart from the three hundred Komweilangs, there were only ten military strategists such as Xun You and Pei Qian, civil servants, and only three women: the beauty Sodu, the wet nurse Bian, and the talented woman Cai Yan. Du, and the Bian served his daily life. Cai Yan was responsible for his writing and writing, and they all had their own tasks. The only ones who really had idle meals were Bian's two children: the five-year-old Cao Pi and Cao Zhang, who had just three months old. In fact, Cao Pi could not be considered idle meals. He already knew to help Liu Bian grind ink and spread paper. Only Cao Zhang did nothing, lying in his cradle all day, spitting, and sleeping heavily, but Liu Bian couldn't say anything. He shared Cao Zhang's rations and had to repay his personal favors.

Liu Bian was probably the simplest emperor ever. However, this hardship was worth it, which greatly enhanced the cohesion of the soldiers. Wherever Liu Bian went, every soldier looked at him with heartfelt enthusiasm. They believed that such an emperor who truly shared the joys and sorrows with them would definitely lead them from one victory to another.

Ten thousand people will die and dominate the world. Liu Bian has no ten thousand people, including everyone, he only has five thousand people, but he has enough confidence to kill the Marquis of Subu Gudu in one fell swoop. This is not only because more than ten people under him have realized their fate, but also because of this united human heart.

"Don't just beg your own beauty, but you have to let others know the beauty here." Liu Bian smiled and said, "Those Confucian scholars only know how to read thousands of books, but don't know how to travel thousands of miles. In their eyes, this is a wilderness, but they don't know that there is a different kind of beauty here. For example, your father, who once went to Shuofang, didn't think it was beautiful here, right?"

Cai Yan nodded embarrassedly. Cai Yong came to Shuofang, although he did not really get a feces, but had a secret mission, but in his heart, it was actually not much different from a feces. He just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and return to Luoyang, where would he feel like he would appreciate these beautiful scenery. He has been in the world for more than ten years and wrote many poems, but none of them were written about the beauty of the northern border, which is a clear proof.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will pay attention. I hope that I can leave a volume of poems and essays in the future and also leave a name in the biographies of women."

Liu Bian laughed: "Haha, it's not just a list of female biographies, you can leave your name in the biography of Wenyuan."

Cai Yan blushed and glanced at Liu Bian. He was about to say something, but a horse galloped in front of him. Cai Yan knew that there was military information and hurriedly urged the horse to leave.

The knight rushed to Liu Bian, and did not dismount. He bowed and clasped his fists on the horse's back: "Your Majesty, the General Xu Huang of Hengye has chosen the camp site and sent a scout to investigate the enemy situation within a hundred miles. Please prepare for rest."

Liu Bian straightened his body, stroked his hand with his hands on the bridge, and signaled: "Repay the General of the Hengye Zhonglang, thank you for your hard work, and I am very pleased."

"I wish to serve Your Majesty." The knight responded, turned his horse's head and ran away.

In the battle of Dengfeng, Xu Huang became famous in the battle, and Liu Bian promoted him to the General of the Central Army of Hengye. Although he was not a general, Xu Huang's career was well known. Liu Bian knew that Xu Huang was cautious, so he let him be a vanguard, and instead left Zhang Xiu, who was familiar with the situation in the border areas, in the central army. At first, many people expressed confusion, but later, as the army advanced forward, Xu Huang's so meticulous reconnaissance that made them not encounter any trouble along the way. Everyone, including Zhang Xiu, recognized Liu Bian's arrangement.

A camp was set up at the mouth of the river and a bonfire was raised. Liu Bian did not enter the camp to rest. He sat cross-legged by the river, closed his eyes and meditated. The dark black sword was lying on his knees, silent.

...

Meiji, a tent with bright lights and smoke, wearing tiger skin and tiger teeth in his mouth suddenly opened his eyes and screamed: "The real dragon is coming - bleeding all over the ground-"
