Luo Bai is not a scholar, and he has never even attended a private school. If it weren't for Ah Luo and Han Wuxin to teach him to read, he might not even be able to read "Shanguang Notes".

But precisely because he is literate, he naturally understands what "Xiongnu Da Danyu" is.

But it was because he understood that he was speechless in shock.

He had a "funny look on my face" and said, "Uncle Tu, you got drunk as soon as I drank this wine?" ”

Tu Shuangdao glanced at him and continued to look at Tongwancheng: "You haven't experienced that period of history. At that time, the Xia Dynasty was just established, and all industries were waiting to be developed. But the three tribes in the north are at the time of prosperity. When the news of the founding of the Xia Dynasty reached Mobei, they immediately sent envoys to the court, asking for silk and satin, gold, silver, salt and iron. ”

"Emperor Taizu swept the world at that time, and it was a moment of high spirits. Faced with the sudden attack of the three tribes in Mobei, he naturally ignored it. But the army of the Xia Dynasty was chasing the remnants of the Six Kingdoms in the south at that time, and the troops in the north were insufficient. In addition, the world has been decided, and it should rest with the people. In the end, Emperor Taizu decided to focus on the overall situation and endure this breath. ”

When Tu Shuangdao said this, he suddenly stopped and looked at Luo Bai.

"When the matter came to this point, it was actually settled peacefully. But at that time, the Xiongnu Da Danyu, that is, the one in front of him, was really dead: he asked the king of the Xia Dynasty to give him a princess as the Xiongnu clan. ”

This demand has been consistently opposed by both the government and the opposition. Throughout history, it was only when Tongwancheng was first built 300 years ago that the Central Plains countries adopted a policy of peace and proximity to maintain peace. But this policy since the Central Plains powers jointly defeated the Xiongnu three hundred years ago, they no longer put forward this demand, but only asked for brocade clothes and jade food, salt and iron tea. ”

Tu Shuangdao talked about the events of that time, as if dreaming back to that day, and actually stopped.

Luo Bai was hearing the key point, Tu Shuangdao suddenly stopped, and he urged: "What's next?" Did the court promise them? ”

Tu Shuangdao snorted coldly: "The imperial court naturally did not agree. The news was transmitted back to the Mobei Xiongnu royal court, who directly led the army, went straight to the Central Plains, stationed in Tongwancheng, and threatened Chang'an. ”

"That month can be said to be the first difficult thing encountered by the Xia Dynasty since the founding of the country. At that time, the imperial court was fighting and arguing non-stop, and finally agreed to make peace before the ultimatum of the Xiongnu. ”

A...... Promised? ”

"What if you don't say yes? At that time, more than seventy percent of the imperial court's troops were in the south, and most of them were infantry and sailors, and the cavalry was pitifully small. There is no possibility of victory in a frontal battle, do you not agree, wait for them to break through Chang'an? ”

Luo Bai was silent, he forgot that the key to that court meeting was not to fight or not to fight. Rather, if we fight, we must win.

However, according to the conditions at the time, this was simply not possible.

"Agree to their request, and the next thing is to choose and choose your relatives: but Emperor Taizu only has two sons and no daughters. had no choice but to choose a beautiful woman of the right age from the family of the minister who had the title at that time, as a princess, and marry Mobei. ”

Hearing this, Luo Bai took a sip of wine aggrievedly. The liquor was spicy, and he coughed.

"And then? How did you end up fighting? ”

"At that time, more than a dozen people were selected, and after selection, three people were finally determined. When it was submitted to the court, there was a person who was directly denied because she was already married at the time. So the final candidate can only be chosen from the other two. But the Xiongnu envoy somehow knew about this, and even forcibly demanded that all three of them be dedicated to the Xiongnu Da Dan Yu, and Da Dan Yu selected the Da Dan clan and the Yan clan. ”

Luo Bai directly threw the wine bag on the ground and said angrily: "It's just hateful! ”

"It's hateful. But hundreds of thousands of troops were entrenched in the north of Chang'an City, do you think the Great Xia court at that time had the courage to refuse? So they were groomed and dressed up, ready to choose an auspicious day, and sent to Tongwancheng to marry Da Danyu. ”

Just as they were being sent to the wedding car and preparing to go north, the general suddenly appeared in the imperial capital. He stopped the carriage and personally found Emperor Taizu. No one knew what he said, but when he came out of the palace, he had a murderous look on his face. The next day, the focus was no longer on peace, but on the war against the unification of Wancheng. ”

The next thing Tu Shuangdao didn't talk about, and he didn't need to talk about it.

The battle must have been won, and if it was lost, maybe the Xia Dynasty would not exist.

"Do you know why I'm telling you so much?"

Luo Bai shook his head.

He really didn't know.

"Back then, when the general swore to go on the expedition, he said such a sentence: If the safety of the country is maintained by selling women, it will be the greatest shame for the generals. We can fail, but we can't tolerate such failures! ”

Luo Bai was silent, he seemed to see a tall figure in front of the majestic army, holding a sword, pointing to the sky as an oath, and issued the oath of "If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent".

He is what he thinks of as a big hero.

"In that battle, the imperial court even transferred back part of the troops of the southern expedition. Together with the army left in the north, an army of 300,000 was formed to attack the city of Tongwan. ”

There is no need to talk about it, there is really no need to talk about it anymore, Luo Bai already understands everything.

He looked at Tongwan City, which was flooded by the night, thinking about the fierce battle back then, thinking about the predicament of the court in front of him, he suddenly burst into tears: "Uncle Tu, if we lost back then, what would have happened to us?" ”

"The Xia Dynasty fell apart, and the world once again fell into a situation of competing for hegemony. The lives are miserable, and the people are struggling to make a living. ”

"yes......"

Luo Bai suddenly smiled: "So, the predecessors have survived the dangerous situation back then, although the current situation is not optimistic, but it is not like back then, right?" At least, the enemy's army doesn't seem to have penetrated deep into the hinterland, a hundred miles away from Chang'an City, right? ”

Tu Shuangdao also laughed: "Yes, it's not exhaustive yet, it will always get better." ”

After saying this, both of them fell silent.

In the middle of the ring, Luo Bai suddenly asked: "By the way, what happened to the three women who were going to marry Da Shan Yu back then?" ”

Tu Shuangdao smiled: "What can it be?" are all beautiful girls, even if there is such a thing, there are more people who want to marry them. However, there is one person you still ......."

Before the words could be finished, a burst of laughter was heard in the distance, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"My lord, this meeting can be regarded as fate. Farewell. ”

Huyan said softly: "There is a large group of soldiers and horses passing by this morning, what, there is a war?" ”

Mu Yichu smiled and clenched his fists: "My lord, farewell." ”

He ignored Hu Yan anymore, turned around and came back, ready to ride away, but Hu Yan was unwilling to say: "The three clans of Mobei have besieged Yanran City for eight years, you say, can this army rescue them?" ”

Mu Yichu's body was stunned, and his face turned pale.

Huyan didn't continue, but laughed and stood aside, making way out of the way.

This wild laugh was very harsh in the dark night.

Luo Bai snorted coldly, turned over on his horse, and walked towards Mu Yichu: "Lord Huyan, I am too worried, the war back then was a hundred times more dangerous than now, we can still win, and now there is no reason to lose!" ”

Tu Shuangdao wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

At this moment, Luo Bai seemed to be a different person, he looked serious and confident, and walked to Mu Yichu's side.

The two people who were talking immediately stopped and looked at the person.

In the dark night, the three pairs of eyes were like six bright stars, shining brightly.

Mu Yichu recognized Luo Bai for the first time and scolded angrily: "What are you doing here? It's not big, it's not small, it's not going down? ”

Luo Bai sneered: "The country was destroyed, and I was captured alive, I have nothing to respect for such a person." My lord, enough time has been delayed, it's time to go. ”

Mu Yichu said angrily: "You ......"

He was about to reprimand Luo Bai, but Hu Yan smiled and said, "Boy, for more than 20 years, you are the second person who dares to talk to me like this." The previous one is dead Mobei, I hope you can live longer than him. ”

Luo Bai was not angry: "Old man, your mouth is indeed okay, I can't talk to you, and I don't bother to tell you." Anyway, I'm not detained here, heaven and earth can go. As for my birthday, it's much longer than yours. I just hope that you can live a few more days, watch me seal the wolf Juxu, and drink Ma Hanhai! ”

Seal the wolf? Drink Mahanhai?

In the darkness, Huyan suddenly lit up and burst out with an astonishing momentum.

This is a master!

Luo Bai suddenly felt enveloped in murder.

Mu Yichu immediately fought-for-tat and protected Luo Bai behind him.

"Lord Huyan, this is Great Xia, what do you want to do?"

Hu Yan's eyes rolled, and finally he didn't make a move, he looked at Luo Bai: "Boy, ride on a horse and talk to me, do you want to press me in momentum?" ”

Luo Bai snorted coldly, which was considered a default.

Hu Yan smiled: "People are careful and easy to die." What is your name? ”

Luo Bai opened his mouth and said: "Luo Bai! ”

The moment Luo Bai spoke, Mu Yichu's face changed greatly, and he knocked Luo Bai off his horse with one palm, and flew upside down towards Tu Shuangdao, shouting at the same time: "Tu Shuangdao!" ”

Tu Shuangdao immediately stepped forward, protected Luo Bai, and slowly retreated.

Hu Yan watched Mu Yichu and the others rescue Luo Bai and did not step forward.

He trembled and seemed to be holding back something. It was a quarter of an hour before he burst out laughing: "Your surname is Luo? Ok, good, good! I'll wait for you to seal the wolf Juxu and drink Ma Hanhai. ”

"Let's go."

Mu Yichu looked at Hu Yan in surprise, and found that there was indeed no murderous aura on him, so he waved his hand to let them pass quickly.

More than a dozen people from the Firehead Army led their horses and walked cautiously over.

When Luo Bai passed, Mu Yichu was even more worried, afraid that Huyan would suddenly make a move.

But he thought about it too much, Hu Yan did look at Luo Bai directly, but he didn't mean to make a move.

Seeing that everyone looked like they were facing a great enemy, Luo Bai already knew the horror of the person in front of him. He looked at Huyan indifferently, and his hateful gaze was as cold as ten thousand years of ice.

Five or six zhang away, looking at Mu Yichu and Huyan behind the palace, Luo Bai's expression was cold.

"Uncle Tu, are the Anbei Protectors and the Northern Army still being surrounded in Yanran City?"

Tu Shuangdao said: "Yes." It is 3,500 miles away from Chang'an. ”

The corners of Luo Bai's mouth curled, as if he had thought of something interesting.

"Three thousand five hundred miles? In such a big place, how can there be only one Yanran City? ”

Tu Shuangdao didn't hear what this meant: "What do you want to do?" ”

"If you build seven cities in the vast Mobei to protect the Chang'an Jingshi, I think you can ensure that the affairs of Mobei are settled once and for all!"

Building a city in the desert?

Tu Shuangdao was surprised at first, and then showed a wry smile: "If a city could be built in the desert, the great general would not have built only one Yanran City back then." ”

Luo Bai was completely inappropriate: "Uncle Tu, if you can build a Yanran City, you must be able to build a second and third one." When the day comes, I'll leave a city and I'll give it a name. ”

Tu Shuangdao was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Don't wait for that day, I can tell you now, if you really build a city in Mobei, it will be called 'Pinghu'." ”

"Pinghu? Pacify the Hu people? Good name! ”

At this moment, Mu Yichu's voice suddenly came: "Lord Huyan, take your leave." ”

Luo Bai and the others quickly shut down and looked in the direction where Mu Yichu was.

Hu Yan ignored him, but looked in Luo Bai's direction: "Boy! ”

Luo Bai was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "What's the matter?" ”

"If you go to Mobei one day, you must raise the banner of your Luo family and write it bigger, so that others in the province can't see it and kill the wrong person!"

These calm words full of murderous intent made Luo Bai stunned for a while: In this world, why are there people everywhere who want to kill me? Who did Lao Tzu recruit and provoke whom?

"Boy, if you have a seed, go to Mobei, someone is waiting for you there!"
