The Young Prince Chapter 10
After speaking, Liu Rong called Tang Wu, the head of the guards outside the room, and said, "Living here, I found a suspicious person, so I decided to order you to wait to monitor these two people, and if you find anything abnormal, inform me immediately."
If you do this well, I will ask my father for credit. ”
At this time, the two people who lived on the other side of the wine house didn't know that they had been targeted.
"Du Lie, why did Da Shan Yu send you and me to the Han Dynasty, we have been mixed in for more than a month, wearing Han clothes and eating Han food every day, and we can't even drink wine, it's really painful." The man tugged at the clothes on his body.
"It's all to blame on that Zhongxing Yue, it's him, who taught you and me to speak Chinese, Da Dan wanted to understand the recent situation of the Han Dynasty, and he didn't worry about the Han people who came from the captives, so he had to send you and me.
Bear with it for a while, when you and I return to the royal court, and report the situation to Da Shan Yu, if Da Shan Yu personally leads troops to attack the Han Dynasty, then you will be indispensable.
Maybe I will reward you with a Han beauty, this Han woman is more flavorful than our Hun women."
…………
The conversation between the two was heard by the guards who were lying in ambush outside, and Tang Wu hurriedly reported to Liu Rong.
"Mr. guesses, if it is true, these two people are really Hun spies."
Then, Liu Rong said to Tang Wu: "You wait for more than ten people, ambush outside the house of those two, stay until late at night, when these two people are asleep, jump out of the window and capture them, remember to knock them unconscious directly, so as not to make too much noise and leak any rumors."
"Your Highness, rest assured, before the villain enters the palace as a guard, he is a scout of the Southern Army, and there will be no mistakes in doing this."
Under Liu Rong's arrangement, in the middle of the night, he sneaked into the room, knocked the two unconscious, and then blocked his mouth and nose, tied his hands and feet, and then stuffed the two into the carriage that Liu Rong was riding in when he came.
In the early morning of the second day, Liu Rong and others paid for the store, and left in a hurry and went straight to Chang'an.
On the way, Jia Yi said to Liu Rong, "After I enter the city, I should immediately go to the palace of the prince and hand over these two to the prince."
Liu Rong was a little puzzled, "What do you mean, sir, why don't you just hand it over to His Majesty the Emperor?" ”
"It is good to hand them over to Your Majesty, but your father, as the crown prince, if he crosses the crown prince and admonishes His Majesty now, His Royal Highness the crown prince will definitely be displeased.
On the contrary, if it is handed over to the crown prince, the prince will definitely look at His Royal Highness differently, and then the prince will write to His Majesty, and His Majesty will also praise your father and son, so what's wrong with this? Jia Yi's words made Liu Rong wake up.
"Mr. Xie taught me!" Liu Rong bowed his hand and said.
The two of them rushed non-stop for most of the day, and finally entered Chang'an City near dusk.
After that, he hurried to the palace of the prince, and at this time, the crown prince Liu Qi was discussing government affairs with Chao Cuo in the palace.
Seeing Jia Yi and Liu Rong, they came in in a hurry, and asked, "Jia Qing, why are you so flustered?"
Jia Yi said, "The prince is good, the minister and His Royal Highness are traveling outside, and on the way home, they encounter heavy rain and stay in a wine house."
In the winery, two Huns were found to be fine, and now these two have been captured alive, so I have come to report this matter to His Royal Highness. ”
The prince was also very happy when he heard it, Liu Rong had such a harvest from this outing.
Xin said: "I am still the son of Lonely, and I am not in a hurry to see my father and the emperor receive the merit, so I came to tell Yu Gu first, and I am very comforted by Lonely." ”
Chao on the side said wrongly, "Your Highness, this matter, immediately enter the palace to inform Your Majesty, do not delay."
"What Chao Qing said is very true, go alone."
Then he said to Liu Rong on the side: "Rong'er, Lone will go to see his father and the emperor, if it is really as Jia Qing said, Lone will be rewarded to you."
"Thank you, father, the child can be captured this time, first, it is because of the father's love, and the guards are sent to protect me, if there is no guard sent by the father, I will not be able to catch these two.
Second, thanks to the merits of Mr. and many guards, the son did not dare to receive his reward alone, and hoped that his father would reward them", Liu Rong said.
"When the time comes, there will be a reward for loneliness", after speaking, he hurriedly led people to escort these two spies into Weiyang Palace and went to see Emperor Wen of Han.
After Emperor Wen heard what the prince had said, he was also shocked, and immediately sent his henchman Zhang Shizhi to interrogate the two secretly.
"The prince can't tell others about this matter for the time being, and I will deal with it after the trial."
"Son, remember, after going back, I will inform Rong'er, Jia Yi and others not to leak it."
…………
After some severe interrogation, the two confessed what they knew, and Zhang Shizhi immediately reported it to Emperor Wen of Han.
Emperor Wen took the note in his hand, looked at it several times, frowned and said to himself: "It seems that the Xiongnu really moved......"
A few days later, in the early court discussion, Emperor Wen suddenly said, "I recently learned that the northern Xiongnu seem to have moved."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, the courtiers were immediately speechless, because since the founding of the Han Dynasty, every Xiongnu movement would bring great disasters to the Han Dynasty.
"How did Your Majesty know about this?" Prime Minister Zhang Cang got up and saluted.
"Many days ago, the prince captured the Xiongnu fine work, and after interrogation, they said that in recent years, the grassland has been dry, and the Huns are short of food, so they are ready to plunder the border of our Han Dynasty.
I have summoned Wei Shang and Xiao Guan guards in the clouds, and ordered them to send scouts to investigate what the Xiongnu are doing.
Just today, I received a report from them, Lao Shangdan Yu gathered the troops of the King of Lou Fu, the King of Aries and the King of Hun Evil, and may raise troops to the south in the near future."
"Since Your Majesty is like this, then send troops, and the ministers are willing to fight for Your Majesty!" Dongyang Hou Zhang Xiangru said.
Most of these columns in the early Han Dynasty were militants, although most of them had died of illness at this time, and the rest were also dying of old age, but as soon as there was a war, they would still be enthusiastic.
"Dongyang waits for this to say nothing, thinking that my Han family is now the time to recuperate, and if you send troops at this time, it will inevitably cause a great decline in national strength.
The minister still suggested that it was better to send an envoy to the Xiongnu, and choose the daughter of the royal family and gold, silver and grain, stabilize the Xiongnu, and wait for my Han Dynasty, when the country is rich and the people are strong, and then attack the Xiongnu, and will be able to win in one fell swoop. A Pentateuch doctor said.
Emperor Wen of Han knew that blindly being cowardly and weak would only make the Xiongnu more rampant and unscrupulous.
Immediately summoned, Yunzhong, Xiaoguan and other places close to the Xiongnu quickly entered a state of combat readiness, appointed lieutenants Zhou She and Lang Zhong to order Zhang Wu as generals, prepared a thousand chariots, 100,000 cavalry, and waited for the Huns to prevent a sneak attack.
Then he appointed Changhou Lu Qing as the general of Shangjun, Ninghou Wei Yun as the general of Beidi, and Longshu Hou Zhouzao as the general of Longxi, and stationed troops in the three counties, ready for battle.
Appointed Dongyang Marquis Zhang Xiangru as the general, Chenghou Dong Chi and Neishi Luanbu as generals, ready to rush to the aid of the three counties at any time.
At this time, the level of cavalry of the Han Dynasty could not take the initiative to cross the Great Wall to confront the Xiongnu, so even if they knew the news in advance, they could only prepare in advance and actively defend......
