When Zhang Yuan was worried about how to deal with the Huns.

Beneath the calm surface of the Han is also an undercurrent.

Liu Che has already reduced the territory of Huainan Kingdom, and two other kingdoms have also been abolished this year.

The power of the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty was further weakened.

Everyone knows that Liu Che is going to launch a decisive battle against the Xiongnu, and they also understand that the first thing Liu Che will do after solving the Xiongnu is to solve the problem of the princes and kings.

Originally, the Tui En Order was a very gentle method, but there were always a few people who refused to accept it.

It's no wonder that Liu Che wants to be tough in his heart.

During the autumn festival, Liu Che announced that this year would be the first year of Yuanshuo.

A new beginning.

In the first winter of Yuanshuo, Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, was edicted to enter Beijing to meet Liu Che.

Liu Che estimated that he wanted to beat these rebellious princes and kings before the decisive battle between Han and Hungary.

Liu Ci himself has no objections.

It's just that a few months ago, because of one of the Fang Shi under his hand, Wei Qing, he became opposed.

Liu Che has such a strict control over the Han, how could he not know about Liu Ci.

Besides, Liu An, the king of Huainan, and Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, are two brothers, and the elder brother wants to rebel, and the emperor must also stare at this younger brother.

Speaking of Wei Qing's matter, it's quite funny.

Speaking of which, it is somewhat similar to what happened to Lei Quilt.

Wei Qing knew that Liu Che had become interested in immortal magic, so he wanted to enter Chang'an to serve Liu Che.

As a result, this matter was known to Liu Qing, the king of Hengshan.

Liu Qing was furious, feeling that the betrayal of his subordinates was simply unforgivable.

Wei Qing was immediately sentenced to death, and tortured to force Wei Qing to admit his guilt.

As a result, the internal history of Hengshan State in charge of civil affairs was appointed by Liu Che, and after knowing about this matter, he refused to carry out Liu Ci's order, and rejected Liu Ciding's capital crime.

Liu Ci was originally a narrow-minded, selfish, and short-sighted person.

The emergence of a person like Wei Qing had already made him angry, and as a result, the internal history of Hengshan Kingdom also dared to disobey his orders.

However, the internal history of Hengshan Kingdom was appointed by Liu Che, and Liu Ci had no right to dispose of it, so he had to write a letter to accuse the internal history of guilt and let Liu Che arrest him.

This hand is exactly the same as his eldest brother Liu An, the king of Huainan, told the prime minister of Huainan.

As a result, when Tingwei tried the domestic history of Hengshan, the internal history directly exposed the various crimes of Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan.

For example, the forcible seizure of people's land, and even the destruction of people's ancestral graves as fields, have been exposed.

After the officials of Tingwei verified it, they immediately arrested King Hengshan.

Speaking of which, it was also the luck of King Hengshan, who was stuck when the master father was given death.

Liu Che rejected the request of the officials of the Tingwei Mansion, and only deprived the King of Hengshan of the authority to appoint officials, and petty officials above 200 stone had to be appointed by Chang'an.

Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, was angry, so he began to gather people who could command the army and knew how to divination, thinking day and night about when to start rebelling.

Speaking of which, Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, seems to have been forced by Liu Che to have the intention of rebellion.

In fact, it's still his own small-bellied chicken intestines.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.

Wei Qing is a little confessor, if you want to serve Liu Che and run for a good future, you Hengshan King can just release people.

As a result, King Hengshan didn't do this, if he didn't do this, forget it, if people want to serve Liu Che, you still have to kill people.

That is, it was a good time, and Liu Che didn't plan to attack these princes and kings, otherwise these crimes alone would be able to sentence Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, to death.

Liu Che, who knew that King Hengshan wanted to rebel, summoned him to Beijing.

I didn't think about what to do to Liu Ci, I just told him, uncle, you can take it easy, it's okay to rebel, and when your nephew finishes solving Uncle Huns, can you rebel again?

Liu Che's game is really perfect.

There is no way for others to figure out his mind.

Otherwise, there would not be so many ministers and princes who committed suicide in the end.

Although the king of Hengshan was irritable and impulsive, after arriving in Chang'an City, he learned what Liu Che meant, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

Hurriedly met with the Queen Mother Wang Huan, and fled back to Hengshan Kingdom.

On the way back to Hengshan, Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, visited his eldest brother, Liu An, the king of Huainan, through Huainan.

What they were plotting with, no one knows.

But Liu Che knew that Liu Ci had met Liu An.

Han Gaozu Liu Bang's genes are also strong, so many children and grandchildren, when they encountered the matter of cutting the domain, they didn't think about other possibilities at all.

No one compromised, no one took the initiative to surrender to the emperor, and all they thought about in their hearts was rebellion.

Everyone is surnamed Liu, why can't we be the emperor if you can't be the emperor.

Other dynasties are princes competing for the throne, and it seems that these princes in the Western Han Dynasty do not have these thoughts, but these princes and kings want to be emperors one by one.

Liu Che would not have been able to afford to be a prince in this life because of his mother Wang Wan and Mrs. Dou Liu Yan.

Even Emperor Xiaojing's younger brother, Liu Wu, King Xiao of Liang, only thought about becoming an emperor after becoming a prince.

From this point of view, the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty should not deserve it.

In the period of transition between the feudal system and the county system, these princes and kings were destined to become fragments under the wheel of history.

Liu Che was doing his best to maintain the internal stability of the Han Dynasty, and Zhang Yuan naturally couldn't live up to Liu Che's efforts.

While studying the map, he discovered an extremely important point.

The Xiongnu Dadan Yu military ministers did not know that the evil king wanted to take refuge in the Han Dynasty.

The last time the Hun Evil King and the Hutu King exchanged news with the military ministers was before the Hun Evil King sent a letter to Zhang Yuan.

King Hutu asked his cronies to send Li Shuo to the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Junchen to prove that the Han army had intercepted the Xiongnu reinforcements at Fuyangju Mountain.

Then the evil king of Hun adopted a method that was neither affectionate nor cold to the Han, which could prove Zhang Yuan's idea.

If the Han wins, the evil king can comfortably come to Chang'an to be a marquis, and if the Hun Dadan Yu military minister wins, he can continue to be his king, and he does not have to accept the sanctions of the military ministers.

This kind of person who rides the wall is the most annoying, Zhang Yuan doesn't want the Evil King to continue riding the wall so comfortably.

Thinking that this could be the key to victory.

Zhang Yuan immediately began to write letters to Liu Che.

The presumably content is to ask Liu Che to send someone to inform the Evil King.

The Han Dynasty planned to make a move with the Xiongnu Dadan Yu military ministers in the spring, and then let the Hun Evil King send troops to aid the military ministers.

In this way, the military ministers will definitely increase their confidence, even if they know that the Han army has sent another 200,000 troops to Yuyang County, they will not easily choose to retreat.

Then, at a suitable time, the Hun Evil King directly launched a rebellion against the Xiongnu headquarters of the military ministers.

Zhang Yuan also suggested to Liu Che that if the Hun Evil King agreed, then he would agree to allocate a county for the Hun Evil King to settle the Xiongnu people.

If you don't agree, you will directly threaten nakedly, saying that the 200,000 army will not be sent to Yuyang County, but will drive directly to the Hexi Corridor.

As for how to choose, it is up to the Evil King to make his own decisions.

After writing this letter, Zhang Yuan began to write a second letter, explaining his intentions to Liu Che.

And elaborated, even if the evil king cooperated with the military ministers, the 500,000 Han army would have an absolute chance of winning against the 700,000 Hun cavalry.

In fact, doing all this is not to win over the evil king, but for the sake of the military ministers, they must make the military ministers feel that they can win the Huns.

After packing the letter, Zhang Yuan hurriedly found someone to send it to Jianzhang Palace.

Spring is not a few months away.

If the Evil King agrees, whether it is pretended or sincere, he must set off as soon as the spring begins, and then preferably arrive in the city within a month.

When he arrived at the city, the 200,000 troops on the Han side could set off for Yuyang County.

After sending someone to deliver the letter, Zhang Yuan immediately asked the officials of the Hussar General's Mansion to start the simulation.

Simulate the situation when the Xiongnu had 700,000 cavalry, while the Han only had 150,000 cavalry and 350,000 foot soldiers.

However, many situations have been simulated, and the odds of victory on the Han's side are not very high.

The main thing is that it is difficult to surround the side of superior forces with weak forces on the steppe.

There is no building to rely on, and more importantly, the other side is cavalry, no matter how well-equipped the Han army is, as long as it does not dig a trench five or six meters long on the battlefield, there is no way to prevent the Hun cavalry from breaking through.

Zhang Yuan has a headache for this.

The Xiongnu are not stupid, they will definitely not flee to the east, as long as they flee to the north or to the west, it only takes a few hours to completely get rid of the tracking of the Han army.

Zhang Yuan looked at it and found that there was still a force west of the Great Xing'an Mountains.

Everyone knows this force, the Xianbei clan.

However, because the scope of activity of the Wuhuan clan is east-west, along the area of Rao Leshui, the communication between the Han and the Xianbei clan is basically blocked.

The Great Han only knew that there was a Xianbei tribe to the north of the Wuhuan clan.

And Zhang Yuan knew that the Xianbei people benefited the most after the Xiongnu were driven out.

Such a large territory of the Xiongnu basically fell into the hands of the Xianbei people.

And this group is not as rigid as other nomads.

They are more like Qianghu.

But it's a little more bloody than Qianghu.

The Xianbei people did not submit to the Xiongnu, but occasionally surrendered to the Han.

Zhang Yuan had thought about contacting the Xianbei tribe before, and then forming an alliance with them to fight the Xiongnu, but he couldn't find a suitable person to appoint Xianbei, and he couldn't find a suitable route to Xianbei.

The Huns were very well defended, and it was quite enough to get past from the Wuhuan tribe.

Just thinking about it, Zhang Yuan gave up the idea.

It's more strenuous than cooperating with the Evil King, and the person sent there is basically a death.

The envoys of the Han Dynasty sent to the side of the Hun Evil King were at least not in danger of life.

Zhang Yuan couldn't do the thing of sending people to death.

He now thought that it would be nice to have a phone call to Chu Da and find out what was going on with the military minister.

Zhang Yuan was thinking about Chu Da, and Chu Da was also thinking about Zhang Yuan.

The sky in the city was extremely gloomy, and the thick clouds were almost crushing people's moods.

The sacrifice of the Xiongnu people built a sacrifice platform on the high ground of the city.

The Xiongnu Dadan Yu was lying on a pile of dead wood, his face was bloodless, and his body was wrapped in animal skins.

There was a circle of Huns dancing there, and the rest of the people didn't know what was going on in their mouths.

Chu Da and Li Shuo were also in the crowd, kneeling and muttering strange language like the Huns.

Looking at Chu Da again, there are almost all Han people around him, but now they are all dressed in Xiongnu clothes.

Taking a closer look, Zhang Yuan thought that Li Fu, who was missing, was kneeling behind Chu Da.

"The military minister still can't bear it, Brother Chu, you have been in the Huns for the longest time, can you tell me if it will be Yi Zhi Xian who is the big Danyu?"

Li Shuo tilted his head sideways and asked Chu Da in a low voice.

Chu Da looked at Yi Zhixian at the front and nodded.

"The army of military ministers has basically been controlled by Yi Zhixian, and three of the four vassal kings of the Xiongnu have been killed by the Han army, leaving only the evil king of Hun behind.

But the evil king of Hun refused to come to the city, the king of the Huns left and right Guli and the king of Youxian were already old, and they would not resist Yi Zhixian. ”

"What do you think Yi Zhixian will do with us after he becomes a big order?"

Li Shuo was very worried about his situation, and after he was sent to the military minister, he personally said that he would take refuge in the military minister, so that he would avoid death.

And Li Fu refused to surrender, and then after the Xiongnu Dadan Yu sent Chu Da to communicate with Li Fu, Li Fu chose to surrender to the Xiongnu.

All three of them survived because of the military ministers.

No one knows what kind of attitude Yi Zhixian will have towards the Han people.

Li Shuo didn't want to just escape from the tiger's mouth and then fall into the cliff again.

"I don't know, just wait honestly.

A few of us had nowhere else to go except the Huns. ”

Hearing this, Li Shuo lowered his head.

The slow sacrifice came to an end, and God didn't seem to be blessed with the ministers.

The military ministers lying on the dead wood did not have a trace of returning to the light, but their spirits became more and more depressed.

In the end, in the midst of everyone's sacrifices, the military ministers closed their eyes forever.

The Huns fell into weeping.

Zhang Yuan and Liu Che estimated that they were killed, and they didn't expect that the reason why the Huns did not retreat and gathered in Xiangdang City was entirely because the military ministers were sick and there was no way to return to the north.

In this way, because of the military ministers, the city gathered almost all the Huns except for the Evil Department and the Hutu Department.

It is normal that some Xiongnu tribes who were not notified did not come.

But the evil king obviously knew this, but he didn't tell the Han about it.

Even if Chu Da wanted to spread the news, he was powerless.

After all, when the news of the arrival of the Evil King and the King of Hutu was delivered, Chu Da experienced far more than anyone could imagine.

He continued to probe before he succeeded in delivering the news to Wei Qing.

Moreover, after the military minister became seriously ill, the Huns' supervision of him also became stricter.

Although he can still move around at will, there are many more people in the shadows staring at him.

Naturally, these people are not military ministers, these people are all people who are Yi Zhixian.

Yi Zhixian didn't regard Chu Da as his own person, since he was not his own person, he had to watch it at this time and save some trouble.

As soon as the military minister died, Yi Zhixian no longer knelt, walked directly to the corpse of the military minister, and announced to the Xiongnu people that he was the big Dan Yu of the Xiongnu clan.
