The Young Prince Chapter Eighty-Three: The Situation Between the North and the South
After Liu Ju went to Jiaoxi in person and met with the king of Jiaoxi to make a secret agreement with him, Liu Bi even selected two officials, one of whom went to Zhao first, and then traveled from Zhao to the desert grassland.
The two, from the state of Wu to the south, to the land of Nanyue, Dongyue, and Minyue, wanted to form an alliance with them to attack the Han court, and promised them that if they were willing to send troops, after the matter was completed, they would cut a county and promise it.
The king of Dongyue and the king of Minyue were very happy when they heard this, but Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, was full of promises after hearing the generous statement of the Wu envoy, and as soon as he left the realm of Nanyue, he immediately ordered the soldiers to return to the camp and closed the main road from Nanyue to the Han realm.
Who is Zhao Tuo? It was the old fox who went through the Warring States period and then the first emperor to unify the six countries, and then to Liu Xiang's struggle for hegemony and survived the four generations of the Han family.
According to the history books, it was not until the fourth year of Liu Yu's Jianyuan that Zhao Tuo passed away and lived for one hundred and three years.
He lived nearly twenty years longer than the Qianlong Emperor, who was known as the perfect old man......
He even survived several of his sons, and was succeeded by his grandson Zhao Hu as the king of Nanyue after his death.
At that time, Qin ruled the world, and after several years, the first emperor still couldn't find a way to make the Qin Empire stable for a long time, so he had to take out Qin's sharp weapon to dominate the world - ploughing and military exploits.
The edict ordered that all adult men of the Son of Heaven could sign up to join the army and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. Ordered Meng Tian to lead 300,000 Qin troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north, but the Xiongnu were more than 800 miles away, so that the Hu people did not dare to go south and herd horses.
Tu Sui led 500,000 Qin troops, recruited 200,000 people, and marched south to Baiyue, but Tu Sui was killed by an arrow.
He also sent Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo to lead the Qin army to attack it, which lasted several years, under the death and wounded of nearly 300,000 soldiers, and finally all the Baiyue surrendered, and the people of the Central Plains migrated from the first emperor Yingzheng to Baiyue, and then set up three counties of Nanhai, Guilin and Xiangjun.
Finally, the territory of Qin crossed the Great Wall thousands of miles in the north and reached the coast of the South China Sea in the south.
However, only a few years later, the first emperor fell ill and died in the Dune Palace, and then Chen Sheng and Wu Guang took the lead, and the rebel army blossomed everywhere in the territory of the Qin Empire.
And Zhao Tuo, under the entrustment of Ren Huan, immediately ordered to cut off the main road between Lingnan and the north, killed the officials appointed by Qin, and installed his own henchmen, and even took advantage of Liu Xiang's struggle for hegemony to establish himself as the king of Nanyue.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it was faced with successive rebellions of princes and kings with different surnames in China, and it was the Xiongnu who attacked and harassed the border. And the country is poor and weak, in order to rest with the people, the three generations of the Han family have never used troops abroad............
After Zhao Tuo gave the order, he saw a handsome young man enter the hall and said: "The envoy of Wu sent someone to agree with my grandfather about sending troops, why did my grandfather retreat and collect troops after he agreed."
Looking at the childish grandson in front of him, Zhao Tuo smiled: "Boy, who do you think is Liu Biao, the king of Wu?" It's just a stubborn horseman! With him also worthy of rebelling and seizing the throne, it is simply a fool's dream. In the opinion of the outnumbered, even if it raises troops on the contrary, it will be defeated in one lifetime.
South Vietnam has the land of the three counties and is peaceful, because of the friendship with the Han court, there is no disaster and no disaster, if it is in collusion with that Liu Bi, there will be a disaster of destroying the country! ”。
Hearing this, the young man suddenly woke up, "Thank you grandfather for teaching!" ”。

Liu Rong's words that day made Liu Qi, the son of heaven, have to think deeply.
After his retirement, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, paced in the Qilin Hall alone. Secret Dao: If Wu Chu rebelled with the Shandong States, it would definitely make the situation difficult to control.
The next day, he first summoned Lang Zhongling Jia Yi in the Xuanshu Palace,
After that, more than ten soldiers left Chang'an overnight, and when they arrived at the outskirts of Chang'an, they were all scattered, and they didn't know where they went..........
However, a few days later, an edict was issued to replace the lieutenants of several princes and kings of Qidi.
There was also a seemingly ordinary caravan, carrying a large number of silk lacquerware from Chang'an to the northern border of the Han Dynasty.
In the Han Dynasty, caravans were not allowed to cross the border without permission, but this caravan came out of the clouds in a grand manner, and after traveling in the desert for nearly ten days, it arrived at the land of the Xiongnu royal court.
The caravan is the most common trip between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty, even when the Han and the Huns clashed, there were merchants who dared to lead the utensils to the desert, there was a saying, the world was bustling for profit, as long as the money was given to the merchant, they dared to do anything.
The Xiongnu were far away in the desert, lacking copper, iron and gold tools every day, and since the beginning of Emperor Liu Bang and Qin, the Xiongnu nobles were the first to come into contact with the wine from the Han Dynasty, and they couldn't stop wanting it.
These artifacts all rely on these caravans to sell here, so that the Xiongnu will not attack the Han Dynasty caravans that come here. Later, Liu Yu wanted to lure the Xiongnu Shan Yu into the siege of Mayi, which was realized by a caravan to the military minister Shan Yu, who wanted to sacrifice the city of Mayi......
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty strictly forbade the sale of iron blades to Jiannu, that is, the Jin merchants were driven by high interest rates, and shamelessly sold a large number of iron weapons for Jiannu. It is not unreasonable for successive dynasties to suppress the discovery of commerce in this way......
Just before the caravan sent by Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, arrived at the Xiongnu court, the envoy of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, met the military minister Shan Yu first.
He made it clear to the military ministers that if the Xiongnu were willing to take advantage of the war between Wu and Chu and other vassal states to send troops south to help, they would be thanked again after the matter was completed.
As the so-called snipe and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, the military minister Shan Yu is naturally willing to see the civil strife of the Han Dynasty, after the Wu envoy made a generous statement, he promised that if the king of Wu Liu Bi is the general trend, the Xiongnu will send troops to help.
After a month of travel, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, got three pieces of news from the caravan, one of which was the Bank of China. has been admonishing the military ministers to attack the Han realm, which provoked Shan Yu to be furious, and kicked him to the land of Beihai to graze.
Second, Liu Yan, the daughter of King Li of Huainan, was a military minister and gave birth to a son, named Yu Shan.
The third news made Liu Qi, the son of heaven, furious, that is, he heard that Liu Bi, the king of Wu, sent an envoy to the court of the Xiongnu to have a secret conversation with the military minister Shan Yu.
Hearing that the Bank of China said that he was demoted to Beihai, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was still a little happy, but Liu Wei's envoy actually went to the Xiongnu to talk to Shan Yu secretly, which had to worry Liu Qi..................
However, the arrow has to be sent, and now Liu Biao has privately connected the princes and kings of various places, if he fails to cut the feudal domain for a long time, it will definitely cause a catastrophe.
……………………………………………………
And the military minister Shan Yu ordered people to summon all the Xiongnu kings in their fiefdoms to the royal court for discussion......
Asked: "Ben Shan recently received a secret report that the princes of the Han Dynasty wanted to oppose their emperor and wanted Ben Shan Yu to send troops to help, what do you think?" ”。
In the land of Beihai, the king of white sheep who had been herding for several years was finally able to return, and when he heard that it was about the Han Dynasty, he was angry and got up and said: "Da Dan Yu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if the Han Dynasty is a civil strife, my big-breasted slave can drive straight in, and then the ministers are willing to lead the iron cavalry to lay down Chang'an for Da Dan Yu!" ”。
And the evil king Hu Yanqu on the side said: "Da Danyu, at this time, the main force of my big-breasted slave is under the leadership of Zuo Da Danghu and the right Xian King to conquer the countries of the Western Regions together, at this time my Xiongnu adjustable cavalry is only 100,000, if you rashly attack the Han Dynasty at this time, I am afraid that there will be some risks."
As far as his subordinates know, the emperor of the Han Dynasty is not only not a mediocre person, but also a virtuous monarch with ambitions, but the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty are all arrogant and lascivious.
If you don't press the army first, let the emperor of the Han Dynasty fight with the princes and kings, and when the fight is alive and dead, my big-breasted slave can send troops to attack the Han realm, and there will be a big victory."
And at this time, the emperor of the Han Dynasty must also be afraid that the Xiongnu will take the opportunity to plunder the Han realm. At this time, the grassland was dry for several months, and the pasture was in short supply, so if a messenger was sent to the Han Dynasty to ask for grain, grass, cattle and sheep, the emperor of the Han Dynasty would not dare to refuse it."
Before the military minister could say anything, the Aries King became angry first, pointed at the Hun Evil King Hu Yanqu and said angrily: "I don't want the Hun Evil King to be so cowardly!" How can you be worthy of being the king of my big-breasted slaves!
Da Dan Yu does not have to be so troublesome, if it is the civil strife of the Han Dynasty, his subordinates will lead 30,000 iron horsemen to capture the palace of the emperor of the Han Dynasty! ”。
Seeing that the Aries King humiliated himself like this, Hu Yanqu pulled out the scimitar on his waist and pointed it directly at the Aries King and said, "This king wants to fight you to the death!" ”。
Just when the two of them were drawing their swords and facing each other, the military minister Shan Yu said sharply: "Stop!" This is here, and it's not your turn to go wild! ”。
So the two men threw down their scimitars and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.
After a period of silence, the military minister Shan Yu held the golden scepter and said: "The words of the evil king are feasible in Yu Yujue, but who should be chosen to go to the Han Dynasty at this time."
At this time, Hu Yanqu, who was kneeling on the ground, leaned forward and said: "Da Shan Yu, His Majesty has learned Chinese in the clan. The minister is willing to send an envoy to the Han Dynasty for Da Danyu, and let the emperor of the Han Dynasty pay tribute to my big-breasted slave! ”。

Immediately afterwards, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, summoned Zhou Yafu, the Marquis of Hanoi, who Emperor Xiaowen said when he was dying, in the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace, and had a secret conversation with him in the palace for a long time.
After that, one after another edicts were issued from Chang'an and sent to the defenders of the Great Wall defense line in the border city, ordering most of them to hold the land of Yun, Shangjun, and Beidi to prevent the Xiongnu. And Ling Cheng didn't know how to lead a group to move eastward.
In the Han Dynasty, the army directly under the imperial court still far exceeded the princes and kings, and the elite of the northern and southern armies had nearly 200,000, and the northern army garrisoned on the Chang'an side of the hegemon commanded by the lieutenant to defend Chang'an. The southern army was the palace guard, most of which was commanded by the guards, and a small part of them was led by Lang Zhongling......
The defenders of the Great Wall also have more than 200,000 people, but they are to defend against the Xiongnu and cannot be moved easily......
The Son of Heaven issued such an edict one after another, and actually mobilized the defenders of the Great Wall, but the courtiers all looked sideways and privately discussed why the Son of Heaven moved the army so frequently.
Liu Rong also sighed after knowing it, he couldn't imagine that his father was so courageous, it seemed that he wanted to lay out an overall situation, and to annihilate these princes and kings in one fell swoop!
Beware of the kings of Yan and Zhao with the defenders of the Great Wall......
Then replace the princes over the lieutenant this is a clever plan, the Han law has determined that the princes in the kingdom of the prime minister lieutenant must be sent by the imperial court, the lieutenant is in charge of the princes' soldiers, there is the Son of Heaven edict Tiger Fu through the hands of the lieutenant can move troops......
If they dare to make a move and seize their military power first, then these princes and kings will be tigers with their teeth pulled out, and they will not be able to make any big waves......
