Chapter 165: Marriage

After Tai Shici left, Lin Nan discussed with Jia Xu and Jia Xu about some specific matters to appease the left of the Xiongnu.

The next day, the army went their separate ways and went their separate ways.

After three days of pursuit, Lin Nan and the others finally found the court of the Right Huns located on the banks of the Karen River.

However, at this time, the royal court was desolate, because Yu Fuluo had already led his troops to move.

Seeing this scene, Lin Nan said to Zhao Yun and Tai Shici: "Yu Fuluo will definitely not be able to move fast when he leads his troops to move, so if we catch up at full speed now, it will definitely be too late." ”

So, after two more days of pursuit, Lin Nan finally caught up with Yu Fuluo's subordinates.

It's a pity that Yu Fuluo has already led the close tribe to run first.

As soon as they saw the Han army chasing after them, these hundreds of thousands of Huns, old and young, took up arms one after another and resisted.

And Lin Nan did not order the Han army to attack, but only surrounded it first.

After the siege, Lin Nan ordered Dian Wei to go to the leaders of several tribes to negotiate.

Seeing that the Han army did not want to kill, these Huns also began to quiet down.

A moment later, the leaders of several tribes came to see Lin Nan.

Seeing these people, Lin Nan said: "I am Lin Ziyang, the assassin of the Han Dynasty and the state, now, I will give you two choices: one is to destroy the clan, and the other is to return to obedience, you can choose for yourself." ”

Several people discussed it, and one of them said, "Dare to ask your lordship, if we choose to submit, what kind of prerequisites do we need, and what benefits can we get?"

Lin Nandao: "The conditions for submission are: you must be Han people, Yi Han surname, speak Chinese, and be loyal to the Han people, and your advantage is that you can get equal treatment with the people of the Han Dynasty, and some of you can reunite with your families, because some of the Xiongnu soldiers have become our prisoners." ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, several people discussed for a while, and the man said, "My lord." Can you guarantee that we will get the benefits you say? Can you guarantee that we will be treated as equals as the Han Chinese?"

Lin Nan drew his sword and pointed to the sky and said: "I, Lin Ziyang, can swear to the sky: as long as you are obedient, you will become Han people, and you can call yourself Han people." You can enjoy the same treatment as the Han people!"

Several people discussed it again, and finally the man said, "We may choose to submit, but we must consult with the people of the tribe, and. You have to swear first. ”

Lin Nan said: "Yes, I can give you an hour to think about it, if the time is too long, I am afraid that my soldiers will not be able to kill you before dark." ”

Hearing Lin Nan say this, a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of several people, because they knew that Lin Nan was telling the truth and did not intimidate them.

After saying goodbye to Lin Nan, a few people went back.

An hour later, those people finally came back to see Lin Nan.

The leader said, "We have decided to submit." However, we demand to return to our own court, and the Lord must first fulfill his promise. ”

Lin Nan said: "Okay, we can return to the Karen River now, and I can also swear to God there, but you must also do what I ask, otherwise, I will definitely not put down my saber lightly." And, your royal court will henceforth be the Karen County of the Great Han, if. When I hear someone say that it is the royal court, I will put him to death for treason. ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, several of them reluctantly agreed.

As a result, Lin Nan began to lead these Huns back to the banks of the Karen River.

At the same time, Lin Nan also ordered the herald to give the order:

The herald ordered Zhang Liao to speed up and the 3rd Division of the state to rush to the Karen River. responsible for the pacification and transformation of these Huns;

ordered Feng Li to hurry up and escort the Xiongnu captives to the Karen River to fulfill his promise;

The herald Guan Hai also hurriedly escorted the Xiongnu captives from Jinyang to the Karen River.

A few days later, Zhang Liao and Feng Li arrived.

Seeing his once separated family, the Huns finally sincerely called Lin Nan "lord", which moved Lin Nan to tears, but the transformation of the Huns did not relax at all.

So, Lin Nan and the Xiongnu tribes swore to heaven: the Xiongnu tribes will obey the Han Dynasty and never betray.

The royal court of the right Xiongnu became the Karen County of the Great Han Dynasty, and at the same time, Lin Nan also ordered each ministry to nominate a person to be the Taishou and take charge of political affairs with Zhang Liao.

A few days later, Guan Hai also escorted the Xiongnu captives from Jinyang to Karen County.

Leaving behind a group of people who originally belonged to the right of the Xiongnu, Lin Nan hurried to the Naqi River with everyone.

Although the captives were finally reunited with their families, they were still confined and were still serving three years in prison for their war crimes.

A few days ago, Lin Nan had already learned the news of the return of the left Huns, but some matters related to the return of the right Huns had not been dealt with, so Lin Nan had to wait for a few days.

It turned out that as soon as he heard that Yu Fuluo was defeated, Wu Neng couldn't hold his breath.

After discussing with his subordinates, Wu Neng had a plan to return to obedience, so he began to be courteous to Yu Xuan.

As soon as he heard that Yu Fuluo had fled and that the right part of the Xiongnu had actually surrendered to the Han Dynasty, Wu Neng made up his mind to surrender, and on some specific matters of surrender, Jia Xu and others also negotiated it in a few days, and only Lin Nan came to take a formality.

A few days later, as soon as Lin Nan and Guan Hai arrived, there was another county in Dahan and Prefecture - Naqi County.

As soon as he settled down properly, he left Gao Shun to lead the second division of the state to Fu Naqi County, and Lin Nan led the army to return triumphantly.

Back in Jinyang, on the one hand, he showed his merits to the imperial court, and on the other hand, Lin Nan began a new round of internal rectification.

First of all, due to the submission of the Huns, the border troubles have been calmed, Lin Nan stepped down from the position of Xu Huang, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Yu Ban, and let them lead the army full-time training, except for Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to pacify the Huns, other generals are not allowed to interfere in political affairs.

The positions of Taishou in the four counties of Shuofang, Wuyuan, Dingxiang and Yunzhong were succeeded by the chief officials of the counties.

Secondly, Lin Nan selected a group of cadres from the interior of Bingzhou to go to Naqi and Karen counties to reform the Huns, and Lin Nan gave them the goal of converting the Huns within a year.

At the same time, Lin Nan migrated many people from the interior of Bingzhou to live with the Xiongnu in Naqi and Karen counties, in order to accelerate the sinicization of the Xiongnu.

Moreover, under Xu Huang's Jianyì, Lin Nan was at the foot of Yin Mountain, and another county was added to the Hetao area. It was named Yinshan County, and Liang Xi was appointed as the Taishou of Yinshan.

In fact, as soon as he entered the merged state, Lin Nan knew. In the middle reaches of the Yellow River, the Xixia Plain and the Hetao Plain are both famous grain-producing areas, located in the Hexi County and Shangjun of the Xixia Plain, Linnan has long begun to tuntian, and now there is Xu Huang's Tiyì. Lin Nan began to develop Yinshan County, which was located on the Hetao Plain.

As soon as the arrangements were ready, Lin Nan ordered Xu Huang's first division to be stationed in Yinshan to assist Liang Xi in building the new city;

ordered Yu Ban's reserve division to be stationed in Dingxiang to deal with Gao Shun and Zhang Liao;

Order the dragoons and wolf cavalry to be stationed in the clouds;

Order the Xiong Riot Army and the Tiger Ben Army to enter Yanmen.

As for the locust army and special forces, they stayed in Jinyang.

As for Lin Nan's rectification of the state, there are naturally some people in the state, and the representative figure is Xun Yu.

In fact, Xun Yu is not completely opposed, but thinks that there is a lot of inappropriateness in Lin Nan's private establishment of counties, at least. Lin Nan should first ask for the approval of the imperial court.

Lin Nan knew that Xun Yu was loyal to the Han family, so, in private, Lin Nan said to Xun Yu: "Nan also wants to ask the imperial court for approval first, but this back and forth has taken a lot of time, and when the imperial court allows it, I'm afraid a few months will pass." In addition, if there are a few more counties in the annexed prefectures, won't the taxes to be paid also increase? ”

Helpless. Xun Yu had no choice but to ignore this matter.

However, at Monday's state convention, Xun Yu raised a very sharp question: the question of the functions of the Senate.

Xun Yu said: "The Senate of Bingzhou should be a township school where the property is not destroyed." It was a place for the village elders to participate in the administration and discussion of state affairs, but nowadays, some of the elders of the Senate of the Prefecture are some officials of the Senate of the Prefecture, so that the Senate is just an ornament, and how can the people's feelings be reached? Yu asked to resign as senator of the Senate, and that future officials of the state should no longer be the senators of the Senate. ”

After Xun Yu finished speaking, Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Chen Gong, and Zhen Yi also expressed their willingness to resign as veterans of the Senate.

Hearing Xun Yu say this, Lin Nan also felt that the government officials of the state should no longer be the elders of the state of the state.

So, Lin Nan thought for a while and said: "What Wen Ruo said is very true, this is the maladministration of the state." ”

Immediately, Lin Nan got up and saluted Jia Xu and the others: "A few people are humble and retreat, it's really a blessing for the state." ”

Seeing that Lin Nan was engaged in an emotional offensive again, several people hurriedly returned the courtesy.

After tossing and turning, after a few people returned to their seats and sat down, Lin Nan said again: "Now there are seventeen senators in the Senate of Bingzhou, and after a few people withdraw, there are twelve people left, and the number is quite thin. Therefore, I want to give Zhen Bojian, Zhang Zishi, and Mi Zhengping the status of the elders of the Senate of the state, I don't know what you think?"

After Lin Nan finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement, because these three people had indeed made a great contribution to the state.

A few other matters were discussed, and the day's state convention was over.

After returning home, Lin Nan was surprised to find that Zhang He and Zhang Fei were sitting in the hall waiting for him.

Seeing that Lin Nan was back, the two of them hurriedly got up and saluted.

Lin Nan returned the salute and said, "You're welcome, sit down." ”

After the three of them sat down, Lin Nan smiled and said, "The two of you will leave for Yanmen in a few days, how can you still have time to visit me? ”

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just a little bit of construction for army building." ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Fei say this, Lin Nanton was curious, so he asked, "What is it?"

Zhang Fei didn't speak, but glanced at Zhang He with his eyes.

Zhang Hedao: "The battle of the grassland this spring exposed the weakness of the slow movement of the infantry. Therefore, it was thought that the infantry could be equipped with military horses to increase the speed of the march. ”

Seeing that Lin Nan was silent, Zhang He said again: "Actually, we don't have to be too demanding of the infantry's riding skills, as long as we don't fall off the horseback when marching." With a military horse, the infantry will move faster and will be able to maintain a full body during the assault, and after reaching the destination, they can still dismount and fight. ”

Without waiting for Zhang He to finish speaking, Lin Nan slapped the table and shouted hello.

"It's rare that the two of you can come up with such a method, it's really a good strategy for the ages. Lin Nan praised.

"Now, you can find Tian Zitai to lead the horses. ”

As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, Zhang He and Zhang Fei hurriedly got up to salute, bid farewell to Lin Nan, and rushed all the way to the Logistics Department of the Military Affairs Institute.

Seeing that the Bear Riot Army and the Tiger Army were equipped with military horses, Huang Zhong asked that the Flying Locust Army also be equipped with military horses.

As the commander of a thousand armies, he naturally can't favor one over the other, so Lin Nan also equipped the Flying Locust Army with military horses by the way.

With military horses, Huang Zhong led the locusts to practice flying shooting every day, so that the entire Jinyang City was not at peace for a summer.

The news of victory always spreads quickly.

Before Cui Yan and Yu Qing took Lin Nan's twists and turns and treasures to Luoyang, the Han court knew about Lin Nan's great achievements.

And when Cui Yan and Yu Qing arrived in Luoyang and received Lin Nan's recital, Emperor Han Ling suddenly had some difficulties, because Lin Nan's merits were too great, and he didn't know how to reward them.

The left and right parts of the Southern Xiongnu returned to obedience together, what a great achievement?

From then on, there was no more war on the northwest border of the Han Dynasty, and it gradually began to be stable and prosperous.

After discussing with Zhang Rang a few times, Emperor Ling appointed Lin Nan as the champion of the Han Dynasty, the general of Pingbei, and the annexation of the state assassin history, with full authority to act as a matter of the border of the state, in order to show his merits. The most important thing is that Emperor Ling decided to marry his fourth daughter, Liu Jianxia, the princess of Yingyin, to Lin Nan, recruited Lin Nan as a concubine, and ordered Lin Nan to enter Beijing immediately after receiving the holy decree to complete the marriage.

As soon as he heard that Emperor Ling was going to recruit Lin Nan as a concubine, all the ministers in the court were envious, and only Cai Yong was a little worried.

After handling the affairs of Luoyang and leading the little eunuch to deliver the decree, Cui Yan and Yu Qing also returned to Bingzhou happily.

But as soon as he received the holy decree, Lin Nan was dumbfounded.

Because I have never thought about being a concubine, nor do I want to be a concubine, because I really have no feelings for the Han court, and I have no interest in the noble Han princess.

Therefore, in the face of everyone's congratulations, Lin Nan did not feel honored at all, but just responded mechanically.

Of course, at night, it is natural to wash the dust for this little eunuch who has passed the decree.

After another mechanical entertainment, Lin Nan sent everyone away and returned to the bedroom alone in a daze.

And when he saw his father coming back from the next court, he sighed for a long time, Cai Yan was very curious.

Cai Yan asked again and again, Cai Yong also thought about it again and again, and in the end, Cai Yong still told Cai Yan the news that Emperor Ling had recruited Lin Nan as a concubine.

Hearing such news, Cai Yan was also very surprised, but the Son of Heaven gave marriage, who can have any way, let it be, maybe, this qiΔ“ is fate.

In desperation, Cai Yan had no choice but to borrow the piano to express his feelings.

As soon as he heard his daughter's piano, Cai Yong had no choice but to practice Xiaokai. (To be continued.) )
