Chapter 141: The Power of the Desolation
"Chief, if you want to defeat the Huns, the first thing is to put away your useless anger and calm down, your anger at this time is okay to fight a few close servants who dare not fight back, but if you want to fight the Huns, then wait for you to calm down first."
Since Liu Ying told Liu Chang about the letter, an unspeakable anger burned Liu Chang's body, he only felt that something was burning all the way up from his abdomen, burning in his heart, throat, and burning to his face, he only felt that he was hot all over, and he didn't listen to Liu Ying's words, and there was only one thought left in his mind: slaughter Maoton.
In that state, Liu Chang's whole person was in a trance, as if something was about to crack in his heart, and he didn't even feel pain, when he sat in front of Han Xin and calmed down, he found that at some point, one of his toes was red and swollen, probably kicked something, itchy and painful.
Liu Chang had never been so angry in his life, and his whole body was almost bursting with anger.
"Your Majesty."
"The minister is rude, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."
When Liu Chang leaned over and saluted Liu Ying, Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly helped him up, "Eldest brother, what are you doing, hurry up, are you okay......", Liu Ying caressed Liu Chang's face worriedly, his eyes were full of self-blame, "Eldest brother, I swear to you that I will definitely govern the big man well and take revenge on the thief!"
Liu Chang raised his head calmly, "Brother, now that the national strength of the Han Dynasty is not yet able to fight with the Xiongnu, brother does not have to blame himself, the safest way now is to let the Han people's power recover as soon as possible, cultivate more war horses with the assistance of the sages of the DPRK and China, the Han Dynasty will definitely be able to develop soon, and the gentleman will take revenge, ten years is not too late."
Hearing Liu Chang's words, Liu Ying was startled, and then grabbed Liu Chang's hand excitedly, "Eldest brother! It's great that you can think so! Rest assured, that day won't be too far away. ”
Liu Chang said again: "Brother, although we can't do anything against the Xiongnu yet, if we blindly retreat, it will definitely make the Xiongnu despise us, and they will become more arrogant, I am afraid that the number of robberies of Yantang will be more." ”
Liu Ying frowned and nodded, "You're right. ”
"The Marquis of Huaiyin told me that the presumptuous war with the Xiongnu will inevitably affect the development of the Han Dynasty today, but we can use the Tang and Yan countries to launch a small battle, Let the Xiongnu know that the land of Yan and Tang is not such a small battle that anyone can bully, and it will not affect the development of the Han Dynasty today, what does my brother think?"
"Small battles?"
"Yes,
It was a small-scale battle, with only a few hundred people, to let the Huns know that we were not afraid of fighting. ”
Liu Ying pondered, "That's fine, then I will give an edict to Tang Guoyan Guo."
"Brother, no need, let me be responsible for this matter, in the future, when I go to the Tang Kingdom, I will definitely have to fight a big battle with the Huns, this time the small battle, just give me training at that time."
Seeing that Liu Chang said so seriously, Liu Ying waved his hand, "Okay, I will issue an edict, and you will be responsible for this counterattack, but the eldest brother can only be a small battle, and you can't mess around!" ”
"Don't worry, second brother, when did I lie to you? Definitely a mini-campaign! ”
Hearing this, Liu Ying, who had great trust in Liu Chang, suddenly wavered, he pondered for a moment and said, "Let Ji Bu help you do this." ”
"Good!"
Liu Chang replied without thinking.
Liu Chang took the edict of the Son of Heaven and left the palace.
Ji Bu was already waiting at the door, and the Son of Heaven had already sent someone to tell him about the counterattack, Ji Bu frowned, not knowing what to think.
After seeing Liu Chang come out, Ji Bu leaned over and saluted.
Liu Chang also hurriedly returned the salute, Ji Bu's name was something that Liu Chang had heard about a long time ago, but Liu Chang didn't expect that his mother would actually arrange for him to be his own housekeeper. This is simply a strengthened version of Luan Bu, who is upright, keeps his promises, and is very capable of fighting, how capable he is, Liu Chang has learned the day before yesterday, and none of the three major sheers is his enemy in a round.
Among all the swordsmen Liu Chang encountered, this one was probably the only one who could compete with Gai Gong.
Moreover, he even dared to beat himself, which made Liu Chang a little angry, but thinking of his force value, Liu Chang still smiled very kindly and returned the salute, you also have an old day, wait for you! When you're old, no, wait for the widow to get older, and see how the widow beats you!
Liu Chang got into the car, "Go to Xiao Xiang's mansion." ”
Ji Bu drove for him, and suddenly asked, "Why don't you see Luan Bu?" ”
"Luan Bu went to contact one of my good brothers."
"Good brother? I don't know who it is? ”
"Eh, it's a good friend, a confidant, and the relationship is very good."
"What's his last name?"
"Why do you ask so much!"
"What about Zhang Budu?"
"He's gone to Yan Kingdom."
"What about Zhaogong?"
"I've gone to Zhao Han and other countries."
Ji Bu was stunned, "Didn't Your Majesty say a small battle?" Why do you want to go to Zhao Han and other countries?? ”
"Oh, it's just a small battle, there aren't many war horses in the Tang Kingdom, so I asked them to go to various countries to borrow horses."
As they spoke, they came to the Xiao Mansion.
got out of the car, Ji Bu accompanied Liu Chang into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and as soon as he entered the Mansion, Xiao Yan hurriedly came, "King! ”
Liu Chang smiled, "Is your father here?" ”
"Yes! King, go! ”
Xiao Yan took Liu Chang's hand, and without saying anything, he walked directly into the inner room. Since the death of Emperor Taizu, Xiao He has basically not seen outsiders, closed the door to thank guests, and has been tinkering with new laws in the house all day long, constantly improving, and now the Han is continuing to move forward according to Xiao Xiang's thoughts, Xiao Xiang's mood has also become good, and he is happy all day long.
But when he saw Liu Chang walking into the inner room with a smile on his face, the smile on his face disappeared.
"Alas the King"
Liu Chang completely ignored the unwelcome on Xiao He's face, and sat in front of Xiao He with a smile, "Long time no see, is the middle father okay?" As he spoke, he picked up the fruit on the table and took a bite, "Eh, it's not delicious, I'll bring the fruit of the Heyang Houfu to my father next time, it's really delicious." ”
Xiao He reluctantly put down the bamboo slip in his hand, "The king is here, what's the matter?" ”
"Father, now that you are no longer in office, why do you stay in the mansion all day? It's better to go out and play in the mountains and rivers, so it's better for the body, I heard that Zhao has a horse service mountain, the beautiful scenery on the mountain, that's really amazing"
"Does the king want to trick the old man into going to Zhao and be in charge of the war for the king?"
Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Father Zhong is wise! The wisdom of the middle father is unmatched"
"I already know about the affairs of the court, my lord."
"However, the king should know that this is the enemy's agitated strategy, and now is not a good time to send troops, and the Han still needs to develop."
"I know that before my father died, he hugged me and told me, don't make my mother angry, and protect my family, of course I know that this is a radical method, but whether it is public or private, this battle must be fought, and it must be won."
"Since my father's dim king, greedy for merit, besieged by the Xiongnu, my Han ministers have been extremely afraid of the Xiongnu, there are still many tribes outside the Saiwai, they are at war with the Xiongnu, but they are reluctant to form an alliance with the Han, because they do not believe that the Han has the strength to confront the Xiongnu."
"Mao Dun this time, he is also testing that if we don't fight back, then the raids of the Huns will only become more frequent, and the people of the Central Plains may be able to develop steadily, so what about the people of my Tang Kingdom? What about the people of Yan Kingdom? What about the people of Zhao? Do they deserve to be plundered?! ”
"My Han did not have the strength to fight with the Xiongnu in an all-round way, and the Xiongnu did not have such strength, I had a good brother from outside the Saiwai, he once told me that the Xiongnu were internal, there were many contradictions, they were united by many tribes to fight, the language and customs were completely different, the Huns were very harsh to other tribes, and Mao Dun was now clearing the nobles of other tribes in the country."
"My brother has issued an edict to let me be in charge of this battle, if the middle father is unwilling to help me, then I can only rely on myself, if it is because of the problem of food and logistics, the army is defeated, the casualties are heavy, and the Han is on the verge of extinction, then it is all the fault of the middle father! Father, how can you bear it?! Have you read all the books you have read all these years in vain?! ”
Hearing Liu Chang shamelessly aim at Xiao He and scold, Ji Bu's face turned red, he fidgeted, and hurriedly cleared his throat.
Liu Chang said sincerely: "Please help me!" I won't use too many troops, I won't call up the people on a large scale."
Leaving Xiao He's mansion, Ji Bu drove the car and shook his head helplessly.
"O king, you really don't know what to say by doing this-->>
[Reading updates load slowly, there are ads, chapters are incomplete, please exit Reading and read!] 】
It is you who insist on fighting, but you have to be responsible for Xiao Xiang when something happens, Xiao Xiang is about to do it just now, not to mention that Xiao Xiang is old, you still have to let him go to Zhao State to take care of logistics for you, isn't this a bit too much? ”
"The king is among all the princes, your land is the largest, and the people under your rule are the most, you should be an example for the princes of the world, you said to Your Majesty that it was a small battle, but now it seems that you are sending people to contact the princes, and you are also sending people to contact the people outside the Saiwai, and you also need Xiao Xiang to sit in the rear, how is this not like a small battle, the king, how many people do you want to use?"
"The King?"
Without waiting for Liu Chang to answer, Ji Buhu turned his head suspiciously, only to see that the car was empty, where was Liu Chang's figure.
"Where's my king?!?!"
Obviously, Luan Bu and the others were in a hurry and forgot to train Ji Bu as a newcomer.
At this moment, Liu Chang is in the Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Bo squinted his eyes and looked at the Tang King in front of him, he didn't have much friendship with the Tang King, although Liu Chang came to the Zhou Mansion very frequently, but the number of times he met Zhou Bo was very small.
"Tai Wei, this is the edict of the Son of Heaven."
"Your Majesty wants me to fight back against the Xiongnu only with the strength of the Tang State."
"Please lead the northern army to the Tang State, the grain and grass materials will all be borne by the Tang State, Xiao Xianghui will sit in the rear, Chen Hou will accompany the plan, and the matter of commanding the Northern Army and the Tang Yan army will be handed over to you to be responsible."
Zhou Bo was a little surprised, he picked up the edict and looked at it seriously, it was really the edict of the Son of Heaven.
"Your Majesty was reluctant to send troops during the court discussion before, why do you want to send troops at this moment?"
"It's different, this time, it's just a small battle, my master is mainly in charge, I'm just running errands for him", Liu Chang lowered his voice and said: "However, you still have to keep this matter secret, only use the Northern Army, as well as the soldiers of Tang Yanzhao and other places, and will not recruit too many soldiers."
"Commander of the Marquis of Huaiyin?!"
Zhou Bo was startled, then nodded, "I know." ”
"Then I'll go to the palace now to find Your Majesty and ask for a tiger talisman."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty is busy with food and grass, you can go back in the evening."
"Yui!"
When Liu Chang left from the Taiwei Mansion, the three little cubs of the Zhou family followed him, "King? Are we going to war with the Huns? ”
"Yes, I recently came up with a plan to defeat the Huns and sent the letters to various places, this time, I want to command the army and break the Huns!"
"King Shenwu! What is called Maudun, when he sees the king, he can only flee! ”
"Yes!"
Listening to the praise of the three of them, Liu Chang also raised his head and grinned, "Of course, let alone Mao Dun, even if it is reborn in vain, I can also capture it alive!" When the Marquis of Huaiyin heard about my strategy, he threw himself to my five bodies, and he called it far worse than his forehead, and called him a successor! ”
"The king? So where are we going next? ”
"There are many people to look for, Chen Hou, General Xiahou, General Guan, and Wuyang Hou are all looking for them."
It took half a day for Liu Chang to meet all the middle fathers in Chang'an, treating different people, he used different words, such as Chen Ping, saying that this was Empress Lu hinting that he came to consult Chen Ping, sure enough, Chen Ping heard that Empress Lu was involved, so he did not refute, and treated Fan Xu, that is, to provoke him with the method of agitation, Fan Hao Wow Wow screamed, I can't wait to cut off Mao Dun's head now.
And for the baby, it is to press him with the edict of the Son of Heaven and make him ready.
When it was almost evening, Liu Chang returned to the Jiaofang Palace.
"Don't think about it, I won't agree."
Liu Chang stayed here with Han Xin for two days, and Empress Lu had already learned about their conversation, and at the moment of meeting, Empress Lu directly refused.
Liu Chang seemed to have expected this to be the case, he sat in front of his mother with a smile, "Today, I went to see my brother, and immediately, all the ministers came to me." ”
"Xiao Xiang is willing to sit in the rear, Chen Hou is willing to follow the army to fight, Taiwei is willing to lead the troops, Fan Xu, Guan Ying, Xiahou Ying and others are willing to fight Since the death of my father, I have never seen them work together to do the same thing."
Empress Lu squinted, "You used the edict of the Son of Heaven to deceive them, right?" ”
"How is that possible?"
"They are all voluntary, mother, master's words, you should have known it a long time ago, now is the best time to counterattack Mao Dun used the radical method, just waiting for us to send troops, since he wants us to send troops, why can't he let him do it? According to the master's strategy, we may not lose! ”
"What's more, this time you don't need to recruit the people, you don't have to go deep into the grassland, you only need the men and horses of the Northern Army, and you can carry out a counterattack against the Xiongnu."
"My master's rebellion is very unreliable, but when it comes to the ability to fight, can't you still trust him?"
"Now that my brother has ascended the throne, you have always wanted to give him prestige, if you can defeat the Huns this time, who would dare to look down on your brother?!"
"Mother! Time waits for no man! If you miss this opportunity, you can only go deep into the grassland to fight Maudun in the future, then there is really no chance. ”
Empress Lu hesitated.
"Mother, I know you want to say that you want to focus on the world, this time, it is to focus on the world, as long as you can defeat the Huns once, even if you just kill a few hundred of them, you can change the current situation! You can gain more allies outside the fortress, so that the people will no longer be afraid of the Huns! ”
"As long as this battle can be won, no one can compare with my brother's prestige, if he loses, it will all be borne by Xiao and I alone!"
Empress Lu made a decision.
In the Xuanshu Palace, Liu Ying looked at Zhou Bo and the others in front of him dumbfounded.
"When did I send the Northern Army out?"
Just when they were staring at each other, Empress Lu walked in with Liu Chang.
"This battle must be fought."
As soon as Empress Lu opened his mouth like this, the generals were overjoyed, and Liu Ying looked at them a little dumbfounded, "But the Northern Army is on the march, and the materials are needed."
"It's all up to me, Tang Guo!"
Liu Chang said, sat among the ministers, and then said seriously: "The widow is ready, the Yueshi outside the Saiwai is familiar with the terrain outside the Saiwai, and has been defeated by the Huns many times, I have sent someone to liaise, the materials from Han, Liang, Chu and other places will soon be transported to the Zhao State, and Xiao Xiang will set off for Zhao Di and be responsible for logistics."
"The widow has sent a letter to Zhang Xiang, and the captain can lead the northern army to the Tang Kingdom, just think about the battle, and Zhang Xiang will arrange other things."
Liu Chang said loudly, and everyone looked at him and nodded.
"Captain, I'm going out with you!"
"No!"
"No!!"
"Don't !!"
Empress Lu, Liu Ying, and Zhou Bo said in unison.
Liu Chang was stunned for a moment and looked at them, "This war is in charge of the widow, and the widow doesn't go, what kind of system is this?" ”
"The king is young, and since the war has been decided, he will give it to us!"
Liu Chang jumped up and scolded: "Okay, you Zhou Bo, the widow is busy with this, but in the end it was you who came to pick the fruit?" This time, the widow must go on the expedition, and no one can stop me! The widow himself will go and cut off Maudun's head! ”
Zhou Bo looked at Empress Lu, and Empress Lu slowly spoke: "Someone." ”
When four or five armor soldiers pounced on him and left the Xuanshu Hall with Liu Chang in his arms, Liu Chang kept struggling and shouted: "You cross the river and tear down the bridge!" Let me go! You unload the mill and kill the donkey! The widow is going to war!! Let go of the widow!! The widow is going to cook you!! ”
Liu Chang's voice became smaller and smaller until he couldn't hear it.
Empress Lu looked at Zhou Bo and said: "This battle uses the strategy of the Marquis of Huaiyin, I will send someone to ask the Marquis of Huaiyin for the specific situation, and inform you at any time." ”
Empress Lu finally decided to use this big killing weapon, and the generals didn't say anything more on the issue of the Marquis of Huaiyin, and asked: "What about the Tang Kingdom?"
"I'll take care of it."
Empress Lu stood up and said coldly: "The whole army listens to my orders, and all countries follow my orders. ”
"Only !!"
The generals saluted to Empress Lu, and the person in command of the overall situation changed from King Tang to Empress Lu, for some reason, everyone only felt a lot more relieved.
After that, Liu Chang was imprisoned in the Jiaofang Palace, there were six or seven armor soldiers staring at him, he could only learn about the situation in various places through letters, the war completely fell into the hands of Empress Lu, although Empress Lu did not know how to fight, but she knew how to use people, she arranged everyone in their most suitable position, and began to plan this campaign against Hungary.
After Liu Bang, there was once again a person who stepped forward and united all the generals together, forming a great force.
