"Your Majesty, the overall situation in the south has been decided, and the prince himself is in charge, it is just a matter of time." A minister walked out, this person's name is Wang Shen, who is in charge of the imperial history of the Xiongnu Kingdom, "The most important thing at the moment is to let Youzhou be honest, otherwise the chaos here may really delay the big thing." ”

Since the demise of Liu Yi's lineage, in order to avoid the recurrence of the old things, Liu Cong concurrently served as the Xiongnu Dadanyu, he deliberately reduced this part of the authority, and introduced more Han systems to suppress the authority of the powerful lord, to prevent the recurrence of internal strife from the root.

The institution of the Imperial History Observatory was established because of this, but although it has both forms, the spirit inside is somewhat plausible, so that Wang Shen, as the leader of the Imperial History, is obviously good at slapping horses.

However, Liu Cong was very fond of this, so he asked Wang Shen to bring this topic over and focus on Youzhou.

"Youzhou dares to warn me, it's a little confident," Liu Cong looked around, his gaze swept over everyone's faces, "You guys prepare, if that Youzhou really doesn't know what to do, we have to say something, it's best to mobilize some soldiers and horses to create momentum on the border!" ”

"But are you going to prepare for an attack?" Jin Zhun deliberately showed a worried look, "But the combat strength of the Youzhou army is not a trivial matter, and my brother is still in Youzhou's hands......"

At this time, he mentioned his brother Jin Kang, just to remind the Hun lord, don't be stupid, what kind of combat power does the Youzhou army have, Wu King Liu Xiao has personally proved that our Hun soldiers are not opponents at all, how can they be provoked.

Liu Cong's face was ugly, it was one thing to know this, and it was another thing to be said in public.

Fortunately, Jin Zhun knew the way of being a man, and gave his colleague Wang Teng a look, who immediately understood, stepped forward and said: "The army in the south wants to besiege Tongguan and capture the emperor of the Han people, and the army in the north wants to strangle the Rouran lowly clan, the country is a little empty, at most mobilize some people and horses to wave flags and shout at the border, where can there really be an attack?" ”

"That's exactly the reason," Liu Cong immediately nodded and waved his hand when he got down the steps, "Youzhou dares to be so arrogant, it's just that I don't dare to move troops, he Youzhou has been peaceful for development over the years, internal tranquility, and the people are rich, so what reason is there to raise troops?" As long as I agitate the soldiers and horses a little, I will definitely gather the strength of the internal family in Youzhou to prevent the Chen family from moving troops, but he is in internal and external difficulties, and he is suppressed by the order of the Han emperor, where can he still move, maybe even Youzhou will not be able to hold it! ”

Someone couldn't help but remind: "A few days ago, there was information that it was the general's mansion in Youzhou that sent an army to Pingzhou, which shows that Youzhou is not unable to move troops." ”

"That's why I asserted that he wouldn't use his troops easily!" Liu Cong narrowed his eyes, which made him feel very majestic, "Otherwise, it will not be a military expedition, but a large-scale expedition!" His team of soldiers and horses went out, can he still occupy Pingzhou? ”

This sentence was exchanged for a burst of compliments from everyone, and they all said that the emperor was wise.

As a result, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and suddenly there was a war report coming, and it was handed to the three dukes of the Xiongnu in public, and the letter said that in the land of Pingzhou, after Goguryeo was defeated by Zhang Fang, there were Murong soldiers and horses who attacked and were also defeated, and there was a Duan clan who defected and surrendered, and the entire Pingzhou, in three days, half of the land was occupied by that Zhang Fang, and nominally belonged to the Youzhou General's Mansion!

"This ......" Liu Cong was dumbfounded, and the civil and military officials were also shocked.

"This ...... Is this the Pingzhou soldiers and horses too weak, or the Youzhou Xuanjia Army too strong? ”

Everyone looked at each other and couldn't make up their minds.

However, vaguely, they all knew the strength of the Murong clan, and even after the sneak attack of Murong's soldiers and horses, they were all defeated, forcing the Duan Department to take refuge, which is stronger and which is weak, it is already clear.

Liu Cong suddenly couldn't get off the stage again, and even his many ministers couldn't find any steps for him to walk, and in the end he could only disperse the ministers with anger on his face.

When Liu Cong sat down again, he happened to see the letter brought by the envoy from Youzhou again, and the anger in his heart suddenly surged again, and he wanted to find a place to vent.

"What is that, are Lu Chen and Wang Gou here?"

One of the eunuchs replied, "The two of them are already waiting outside the palace." ”

"Let people in," Liu Cong sneered, "I want to see how they have the guts to come here!" He was going to torture the two messengers.

The Xuanjia army is powerful, I don't dare to move, you two little pedestrians, you can always take care of it, and you always have to vent the stuffiness in your chest.

However, when he saw the two of them, he was malicious in his heart, and Liu Cong couldn't help but secretly praise the demeanor of the two.

As the eldest son of Lu Zhi, Lu Chen is the descendant of Fan Yang Lu's family, and he has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he was completely cultivated in accordance with the family's set of methods, and his bearing is outstanding.

Wang Gou left the army with Bao Jingyan, followed the celebrity to study, and also got the true biography, with a hill and a valley, since the envoy to the south, gradually by Chen Zhi valued, so that he is a pedestrian, responsible for diplomatic affairs, these years to go south and north, vision, experience is not lacking, the bearing is more open-minded, the posture is extraordinary.

"You are the envoy of Youzhou, you Youzhou have a big breath!" Liu Cong narrowed his eyes, "The two of you are also very bold, and when you see me, you don't kowtow, it's too rude!" Youzhou is such an arrogant person? ”

Lu Chen arched his hand and said very simply: "The minister of the Han family does not kneel to the king of the state." ”

At this time, it made Liu Cong so angry that he felt a little dizzy in his brain, he called the two over, originally to humiliate and vent his anger, and he was full of hostility from the first sentence, but he didn't expect to be forced back.

"What a hard-mouthed man, isn't he really afraid of death? Left and right ......" Liu Cong narrowed his eyes, and as soon as he raised his hand, the guards on the left and right immediately drew their swords.

Wang Gou smiled at this time: "This is the place of paperwork, the place where the lord of the country handles government affairs, why bother to defile it with the blood of swords and soldiers." ”

"You're the king? I have seen you twice," Liu Cong shifted his gaze to Wang Gou, who was a pedestrian and had sent envoys to the Huns, but he didn't let Liu Cong pay more attention, "You said that in the land of literature, you should not use swords, but it is really a weak word, it is precisely because the Han family advocates such a nothingness that the capital will be besieged by the army, and even your emperor will be captured by my people!" This is what happens if you don't practice swordsmanship! ”

Lu Chen said coldly: "Zi said: Ji is not called its strength, but its virtue. The lord of the country is the lord of a country, and he governs the land of a state, and he should also have the ability to assassinate the history of a state, and even the history of the assassin knows that when the people are educated with virtue, the lord of the country only pays attention to the sword soldiers, is it to rule with the power of the sword and axe? If you don't cultivate Wende, how can it be a hundred years, and the disaster is not far away! ”

"How daring!" Liu Cong was angry again, this time even a black shadow appeared in front of him, are you here to be a messenger, or are you here to educate me? Asked you to come here, is it for the sake of anger? It must be cut!

Just as he was about to speak and give an order, Wang Gou smiled again: "The lord of the country is angry, today I am the two of us, seeing the lord of the country in the hall, if you force me to obey with the power of the sword, I am afraid it will be a big mistake and it will be unfavorable to the lord of the country." ”

Liu Cong asked coldly: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Wang Gou said: "Why does my Han family advocate etiquette? In fact, in order to make the world peaceful, can be long-term peace and stability, today's lord is powerful, swords and soldiers are all over the top and bottom, an order, can make my two blood splashed on the spot, if I don't want to die, I have to bow my head, but spread out, the world wants to say, the lord of the country has no virtue, to force the two of us to bow their heads by force, this is not a good precedent, if others follow suit, there are endless hidden dangers, far from it, even in the coming day, my Youzhou general also relies on the momentum, let the lord of the country bow your head, how do you say you want to deal with? If you don't want to, why bother? ”

"You!" Liu Cong held back all of a sudden, feeling the green tendons beating in his brain, but he knew that the Youzhou army was stronger than the Xiongnu soldiers, and it was already obvious, and he was really hard to refute for a while, but I want to kill the two of you, it's still okay, right?

Wang Gou didn't stop talking, and continued: "If the lord of the country persecuted the two of us, wouldn't it be bad if there would be no one to speak for you in the future? Further, if you are angry and kill us and the other two, it will be because of a small loss, and I will immediately give my generals an excuse to enter the army, and then the lives will be ruined, how many generals and soldiers under the rule of the country will suffer, and how will the stone thieves be suppressed at that time? How can Rouran resist it? How can the Xiongnu tribes be deterred? Therefore, the Han family worships etiquette, etiquette, and reason, which is the road of the world, which can make thousands of Li people live in peace, the weak are not afraid of the strong sword and axe, and the women and children are not worried about the thieves and bandits to rebel against the army. ”

Liu Cong was stunned and couldn't speak, his chest seemed to be on fire, and there was an evil fire brewing.

He can see that Youzhou sent these two people over, clearly to let the two cooperate, one looks cold and hard, the other looks oily, one has a black face, and the other face is not white, but what he said, but everything is reasonable, if it is really because of the two little messengers, the current situation is ruined, and the Xiongnu country declines, then it really can't be done.

The question is, will Chen Zhizhen raise an army for the sake of two small pedestrians?

This is not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

Liu Cong remembered the letter that made him angry, and for a while, the lord of the Huns, it was difficult to have an excuse to have a seizure.

It's just that since he called people here, he can't talk and chat, where to put his face when this is transmitted, so he made up his mind, and planned to forcibly reprimand it, and then let people preach it, just say that my Hun Emperor debated two warriors and won a big victory, and finally expelled the two of them and gave Youzhou an ugly look.

As a result, before he could speak, Jin Zhun suddenly stumbled in, and while running, he shouted-

"Oh no, Your Majesty! Something happened to the south! ”

This sentence immediately involved the thoughts of everyone in the room.

Then he saw the prince come to the emperor's side and hand him a note.

Liu Cong was going to vent, but he was truncated alive, and his chest was uncomfortable, but when he looked at the note, he was scared, and then his eyes turned black, and the evil fire attacked his heart, and he fell down when he raised his head!
