Chapter Seventy-Three: Divide the Huns and send an envoy to the party!
"Isn't Your Majesty's heart very clear?"
Jia Xu said leisurely: "Chen Gong is stubborn, but the water drops and stones wear through the stones, and the sea is dry and rotten, so it may be used by His Majesty." β
The reason why Chen Gong is dedicated to Lu Bu is actually the obsession in his heart.
But time can consume everything in the world, even if Chen Gong's heart is like an iron stone, he will eventually be influenced by His Majesty.
"Your Majesty can use people so freely, it is really a blessing for the common people."
Jia Xu couldn't help but admire, from the moment Hongnong started, Jia Xu didn't think that the son of heaven he fancied would gradually grow into a generation of heroes.
Wisdom, bravery, benevolence, and virtue are all possessed, even if Gaozu is alive and Han Wu is reborn, it's just that.
"Let's put Chen Gong under house arrest first, I will take over the world by killing, but I also need to rule the world with virtue."
Liu Xie is not the Long Aotian who has read too many online novels, as an emperor, the two-pronged approach of kingship and domineering is the foundation of the emperor.
Subsequently, Liu Xie no longer thought about the affairs of Chen Gong, but focused on this battle.
Jia Xu reported: "This time we beheaded 20,000 people, plus the 30,000 people who beheaded Huchuquan, a total of 50,000 people. β
"Among them, the remaining 20,000 people in Huchuquan don't know where to flee, Yu Fuluo, Liu Bao and his son, gathered 30,000 remnants, and fled to the Xiongnu base camp in Hedong."
"They don't have the strength to fight."
Liu Xie smiled slightly and said: "To pacify the Huns in Hedong, at this moment, pass my order to go down and let all the departments assemble and march to Hedong!" β
β¦β¦
"I finally escaped, I didn't expect that when I was in Bingzhou in the early days, the Huns who fought for more than ten years would suffer this today."
The first thing Lu Bu did after escaping was to sigh that he was blessed with great fortune.
As for the number of soldiers under his command from 10,000 to more than 3,000 casualties, he did not care.
Anyway, in troubled times, as long as there are people, there is no shortage of soldiers.
"Lord, Mr. Chen Gong hasn't come back, don't you care?"
Hou Cheng couldn't help but say on the side.
"Chen Gong?"
Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, he ran too happily, he forgot about Chen Gong, immediately smiled, and said: "The Huns have all fled, Chen Gong will naturally come back, why are you so worried." β
"Okay."
Since Lu Bu said so, Hou Cheng didn't have much to say.
"By the way, what's going on Your Majesty's side?"
Lu Bu asked.
"Your Majesty has gathered a large army and prepared to attack Hedong."
Hou Cheng said truthfully.
"Attack the base camp of the Huns in Hedong?"
Hearing this, Lu Bu was directly stunned, the Son of Heaven is really the head iron, you must know that there are more than 200,000 people in the Xiongnu base camp.
Although most of them are civilians, but the Huns are all soldiers, and His Majesty has only 80,000 people, so he dares to fight Hedong?
You must know that there are clouds in the art of war, ten are for it, and five are for it.
His Majesty must have 200,000 men to be barely fit for an attack.
However, after all, this is His Majesty's decision, and Lu Bu doesn't care about success or failure.
He asked, "Has Your Majesty issued any orders to us?" β
"Let's stay put."
Hou Cheng shook his head.
"What about Zhang Fei?"
Lu Bu asked again.
"Your Majesty asked Zhang Fei to take people back to Xudu."
Hou Cheng said.
"Strange, what did Your Majesty let us stay where we were?"
Lu Bu was curious, but His Majesty's thoughts, he couldn't guess, at this time, it would be good if Chen Gong was here.
However, after waiting for two days in a row, Chen Gong never came back.
On the third day, Lu Bu finally couldn't sit still anymore and sent someone to find the whereabouts of Chen Gong, but as a result, only the bodies of Chen Palace's guards were found.
"What about Chen Gong?"
Lu Bu asked.
"I don't know."
Hou Cheng replied: "But I haven't seen Mr. Chen Gong's body, so it should be fine." β
"Go find it for me, even if it goes to heaven and earth, you have to find out Chen Gong for me!"
Lu Bu shouted.
At this time, Liu Xie had already marched into Hedong.
As for Chen Gong, he has already let people take him to Chang'an and let Zhang Liao confine him down.
Next, it was to prepare for the offensive and defensive battle against the Xiongnu in Hedong.
"There are 200,000 Huns in Hedong, what do you suggest?"
Inside the tent, Liu Xie asked.
"Your Majesty, the Huns, regardless of men, women, children, and the whole people, are soldiers, and if they attack strongly, they will pay a lot of price."
"And after the last battle, Yu Fuluo, Liu Bao, father and son, must be on strict guard against us, and at this moment, the Xiongnu tribes must be extremely united."
Gao Shun said that he had followed LΓΌ Bu to fight against the Huns in the early days, and now he is an expert in fighting against the Huns.
"Then what does General Gao recommend?"
Liu Xie asked.
"They should be divided from the inside first, the Huns are actually not united, before Lu Bu and Zhang Fei attacked, only Hu Chuquan, Yu Fuluo and his son were willing to come out to fight."
Gao Shun proposed.
"Differentiation?"
Liu Xie pondered.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan."
Jia Xu stood up.
"Wenhe, please speak."
Liu Xie hurriedly said.
"The Huns are friendly with Yuan Shao, if you want to divide the Huns, you have to start with Yuan Shao."
Jia Xu said in a deep voice.
"Yuan Shao?"
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads directly, the answer is obvious, Yuan Shao is the biggest warlord, if he is willing to help His Majesty, does he have to wait until now?
"I'm not talking about Yuan Shao himself, but Yuan Shao's subordinates who are too guarded by the party to guard Zhang Yang."
Jia Xu cleared his throat.
Hearing this name, even though he still didn't understand, because he was just one of Yuan Shao's subordinates.
But Liu Xie is very clear.
When they fled from Chang'an, they didn't have time to take the supplies with them, and only two of them were willing to help the Son of Heaven.
One is Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and the other is Zhang Yang, the party's Taishou.
It's a pity that Li Dao and Guo Yan chased and killed too closely at that time, and most of the aid materials were lost.
"Zhang Yang?"
Liu Xie smiled slightly and praised: "Wenhe is worthy of being my think tank, the Shangdang is close to Hedong, if Zhang Yangken contributes to me, then he can use the name of Yuan Shao to divide the Xiongnu." β
"Now, we need to send an envoy to the party to see Zhang Yang, who Aiqing is willing to go."
Liu Xie asked.
Everyone looked at each other, and the only civilian official here was Jia Xu, but Jia Xu was not allowed to leave the army.
Among the generals, there is no suitable candidate.
"If only those ministers of the imperial court were here."
Liu Xie sighed and said, "In this way, only I personally sent an envoy to the party. β
"Your Majesty, I'll take the troops with you."
Zhang Xiu hurriedly expressed his loyalty, he is now the commander of the Praetorian Guard, so he is naturally responsible for protecting His Majesty's safety.
However, Liu Xie shook his head and said: "There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the party, and we are not going to fight, so there is no need to send so many people." β
"I just need two people to come and act with me."
Liu Xie said.
"Your Majesty, I'd better go."
Zhang Xiu said, since you can't lead soldiers, it should be no problem to bring more than a dozen guards.
"No, after dividing the Huns, you must attack immediately, you are the general of our army, you can't go out lightly."
Liu Xie wants to find two generals who will not have much influence even if they leave, and then select a few clever guards.
"Cao Xing, you come with me."
Liu Xie said that Cao Xing is a marksman, and he may be able to come in handy.
"Yes."
Cao Xuan hurriedly replied, finally having the opportunity to be loyal to His Majesty.
"I'll go too."
At this time, Ma Yunlu also stood up.
"Miss Ma, you have a daughter's family, with a group of us big men, are you sure?"
Liu Xie asked curiously.
