(Volume 3.) ）

On April 29 of the first year of Yuanshuo, the Xiongnu princess Yixue led 30,000 troops into Yuyang, and the king of Beihai, Dan Wolf, led 20,000 troops into Shanggu, and the two armies totaled more than 50,000.

Four days later, the hussar Hou Qincheng led the hussar battalion of 18,000 soldiers to the valley, and Hou Weiqing led the northern army of 30,000 soldiers to Yuyang to meet the 50,000 Hun cavalry army.

On May 24 of the first year of Yuan Shuo, the Han army triumphed from Heshuo with a great victory.

In this battle, the Han army beheaded more than 60,000 people, captured tens of thousands of Xiongnu princesses, Beihai kings, Loufu kings, Youxian kings, etc., and tens of millions of livestock, destroyed the royal court of the Xiongnu Youxian Wang, and recovered the Heshuo area occupied by the Xiongnu for more than 80 years.

Liu Che received the battle report of the army in Weiyang Palace, overjoyed, and sent a special envoy with the general's seal letter, and visited the hussar general Qin Cheng and the chariot general Wei Qing as the left and right generals in the army halfway, and sealed the two of them with 6,000 households.

Subsequently, Liu Che commended more than a dozen generals such as Liu Mu, Le Yi, Ma Dashan, Ji Zhu, and Shanjia who had made meritorious contributions to the army, and were divided into Pingling Marquis, Antou Marquis, Yongwu Marquis, etc.

This battle greatly increased the military prestige of the Han army, and the people of the time praised Qin Cheng and Wei Qing for their exploits in this battle, saying: "Kill 100,000 enemies, cross thousands of miles, and return with all the armor soldiers." ”

After Qin Cheng and Wei Qing returned to Chang'an, Liu Che promoted the hussar battalion as a hussar battalion army, and the formation was expanded to 30,000 people.

The Xiongnu princess Yi Xue, the king of Beihai, the king of Youxian, the king of Lou Fu and others who returned to Chang'an with the army, were all named the princes by Liu Che, and at the same time sent the envoy of the Son of Heaven to the four Yi in the sea to show the majesty of the Han Dynasty.

After that, Liu Che placed Heshuo and Wuyuan counties in the Heshuo area, built the Great Wall at the foot of Yin Mountain, and strengthened the Gaoque Pass. Later, 100,000 people were relocated to it to reclaim fertile land, build good canals, and at the same time set up a tun army, built a horse farm, and built it into a forward base to fight against the Xiongnu.

Because Qin Cheng and Wei Qing set up a meritorious service that the Han army had not done in the past seventy or eighty years, the soldiers of the Northern Army asked for battle, and Liu Che, who was happy for the great victory, gladly agreed, so in the autumn of the first year of Yuanshuo, he ordered Li Guang, the lieutenant of the Northern Army, and the generals Gongsun He, Zhang Cigong and others, to lead 50,000 troops out of Hexi to attack the Xiongnu Xiutu and the Hun Evil King, in order to open up the Hexi Corridor and connect the countries of the Western Regions.

......

In June of the first year of Yuan Shuo, the Mobei Xiongnu was in the royal court.

Go to Dadan in the royal court for more than ten miles, there is a mountain, which is the tail foot extended by the vein of the wolf Juxu Mountain hundreds of miles away.

At this time, there were two horseback knights standing on the top of the mountain, and twenty or thirty paces behind the two knights stood dozens of elite Hun cavalry.

The two knights, one in front of the other, looked into the distance. Although it was June, the wind blowing from the snow-capped mountains was still cold.

"Ayimei!" The knight in front of him was in his thirties, he suddenly opened his arms, and shouted to the south, his voice was full of desolation and grief, and it looked very ethereal on the top of the mountain, and he shouted three times in a row, saying: "In the coming day, I will raise 100,000 soldiers for my brother, and go south to save you back!" ”

"Sister Ayi, you have to wait for your brother!"

"Ayimei......"

After shouting these few times, the knight's voice became hoarse and a little pathetic.

The man behind the knight looked like he was forty or fifty years old, wrapped in a thick woolen coat, he looked at the back of the knight in front of him, and sighed lightly, "Da Dan Yu, the Heshuo region was taken by the Han people, how should the Great Huns be distinguished, and Da Dan Yu was decided." ”

After waiting for a while, Yi Zhi leaned his head and didn't reply: "What is Xiangguo's good plan?" ”

The man named Wudan, who was obliquely called Xiangguo by Yi Zhi, said: "The Great Xiongnu can no longer fight with the Han people, and should end the state of war with the Han people as soon as possible." The Han people have a lot of land and resources, and the Huns can't afford to spend ......"

"Xiangguo!" Without waiting for Wudan to finish speaking, Yi Zhi scolded obliquely, and stared back at him: "You can put this set away!" Since the time of the military minister Shan Yu, you have been this set of rhetoric, and now the Great Huns and the Han people have long had no room to retreat! Now that the Han people have seized the Heshuo of Ben Dan Yu and captured the sister of Ben Dan Yu, you even let Ben Dan Yu strike the army?! ”

Wudan said sadly: "Even if you can't stop the army, the Great Huns should also retreat to Mobei and vacate the south of Mo, so that the Han people are unprofitable, have nowhere to use soldiers, and run away without gaining, so that the Great Huns can recuperate, and after the strength is accumulated, they will try to ...... other things."

"Enough!" Yi Zhi waved his hand obliquely and interrupted Wudan again, "The Great Huns will not retreat!" The Great Huns have never retreated, and they don't know what it means to retreat. This single Yu only knows, if you suffer a loss, you have to get it back, and if you are beaten, you have to fight back, this time the Han people swallowed the Heshuo area, this single Yu will definitely let the Han people spit it out for me! ”

"Da Dan Yu ......" Wudan still wanted to persuade him, but Yi Zhixian ignored him and turned around to leave.

After taking two steps, Yi Zhi stopped again, groaned for a while, turned back to Wudan and said, "Xiangguo, this single has been decided, you don't need to persuade again." In the coming year, Ben Dan Yu is determined to recapture Heshuo, not only that, but Ben Dan Yu also wants the Han people to send Ayi Mei back! As the prime minister of the Great Huns, you should carry out Ben Danyu's orders and help Ben Dan Yu regain the lost dignity for the Great Huns! ”

Wu Dan wanted to speak and stopped, and finally had to compromise, "The old minister listens to Da Danyu." ”

"That's it!" Yi Zhixi's face softened a little, and he said, "In the coming year, Ben Shan Yu will lead the army to fight against the Han people." If you want to fight a war, you can't do it without elite soldiers, and the strength of the royal court's headquarters is not enough for this order to use in the coming year. This order gives you a year, and you give this order to mobilize 200,000 usable soldiers! ”

Yi Zhi saw Wu Dan's face shocked, thought for a while and said, "200,000 is a bit more." In this case, you convene the kings of the Xiongnu tribes to discuss, so that the 200,000 army will not be a problem. At this time next year, this single Yu is set to lead an army of 200,000 to fight the Han people! ”

Wudan still didn't react from the shock, and said in a lost voice: "Big ......"

But Yi Zhixian had already led the people down the mountain, and no one listened to him anymore.

......

At this time, Chang'an, Xingping Pavilion.

Liu Ling looked very gorgeous in a red robe, although she was sitting at this time, she couldn't hide the charm that flowed from her bones, as if she could hook the man next to him with a random look. It's just that the topic of discussion with the person sitting opposite her today obviously didn't make her mind pay attention to whether her every move was bewitching enough.

"This time, Qin Cheng and Wei Qing are out of the limelight, do you hear how the people on the street praise them? Kill 100,000 enemies, chase the enemy for thousands of miles, and return with all the armor. How many people have received such praise from ancient times to the present? The man opposite Liu Ling was in his twenties, dressed in a brocade robe, full of arrogance and uninhibited between his eyebrows, and when he said this, his fingering movements were very exaggerated, "It's okay now, we have a holiday with him, and now he has become a general, so I can't tell how to wear small shoes for us!" Sister, you have to pay attention to this! ”

"Attention? How to pay attention? Liu Ling didn't care about Liu Qian's words, "I think you see that Qin Cheng is very majestic now, so you're jealous, right?" As for our festival with him, if he had hated us and wanted to put on small shoes for us, he would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until today? ”

"Sister, what are you talking about!" Liu Qian looked dissatisfied, and then said disdainfully: "I am the prince of Huainan Kingdom, why am I jealous of him?" Did he kill a few more people soon, and what was there for me to be jealous of? ”

After speaking, Liu Qian felt a little strange, and frowned: "What does my sister mean, do you think that Qin Cheng didn't think that we had sent someone to kill him?" How is this possible! ”

"It's impossible." Liu Ling picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly: "However, he will not easily embarrass us." ”

"Why?"

Liu Ling was white and Liu Qian, and he hated iron and steel: "Can't you use your brain to think more?" Why did Qin Cheng know that we had repeatedly embarrassed him, but he never challenged us? ”

"yes, I'm wondering too!"

"That's because he's not quite sure he's going to pull us off the horse!" Liu Ling put down the tea bowl, "So he's waiting, waiting for a chance that can give us a fatal blow, so that we don't have room to fight back." Speaking of this, Liu Ling chuckled, "Qin Cheng is not as stupid as you, he knows that if he lets us breathe, as a general, he will not be able to help us." The emperor in Chang'an City, as long as he needs to, will not be merciless in killing his own courtiers. ”

"I see!" Liu Qian suddenly said, "Then we can't keep him, otherwise when he finds an opportunity, we will be finished!" ”

Listening to Liu Qian's somewhat pointing words, Liu Ling rubbed his forehead in distress, and only scolded after half a sound: "How can I have a brother like you with a pig's brain!" ”

"Sister......

"You go back and tell your father, Qin Cheng has become a trend now, we can only take advantage of the trend and not reverse the trend, and either win over Qin Cheng or suppress it by the hands of others, and we must not give him the truth again, this guy is fine, we may be caught by him if we are not careful!" Liu Ling obviously didn't want to continue this conversation, and began to explain the problem, "I will handle the matter here, so that my father doesn't have to bother." The top priority is to accumulate strength, and now that Chang'an and the Huns are having a good time, there is no time to take care of anything else, this is a good time for us. In addition, tell my father that we can't put the treasure on the Huns, the Huns are now a little out of breath, and we can't be dragged into the water together. ”

"Oh."

"Remember all this?"

"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely convey your words to my father word for word."

"Hmm." Liu Ling thought for a while, and then said: "Wei Qing is also angry now, so it is best for my father to make some arrangements." ”

"Got it."

"Okay, I'm tired, you go down." Liu Ling said, and after speaking, he added: "Who escorted you to Chang'an this time?" ”

"It's a thunderbolt." Liu Qian didn't think much about it and replied.

"You let him in, I have something to tell him." Liu Ling said naturally..............
