Chapter 80: The King of the Huns
Just because Li Dao gave an order in Shaanxi County, in the east of Hongnong County, hundreds of thousands of people, tens of thousands of Liangzhou soldiers, down to the common people, from the heads of the common people to the three dukes and nine kings, and even the supreme emperor, had to stop and not advance an inch.
However, it is a pity that Li Dao did not know that his words could not be heard by Yanbei at all, and only reached Pingyin, and the messenger who went to deliver the message was tied to the boat by Liu Bao, the king of the Xiongnu Zuoxian, and shot to death with an arrow.
"Give him back 100,000 stones of grain and grass, otherwise he won't leave?" Attached to the Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian King wrinkled his nose and crooked his neck and said: "What do you do for him, let him turn around and flee west?" ”
Fools can see that Li Dao is going to change his hexagram at this juncture, so Liu Bao himself withheld the letter, and he didn't plan to let the news reach Yan Bei's ears at all. In just three days, he sent riders to find Han Xian, who had not gone to Hebei with Yang Feng in Baibo Valley, and asked him to lead his troops from Hedong to Huayin to blockade Tongguan.
Of course, Han Xian is not so easy to call, but at present, the Baibo group of thieves in Hedong can see the situation clearly after Yang Feng annexed Yanbei, so he and Li Le led the troops to Youzhou, not only did they not suffer the slightest grievance, but they were rewarded without even returning from the battle.
Therefore, when Liu Bao found Han Xian, the mountain bandit leader who had faced the strong army of Liangzhou with Yang Feng in this Xiaoju Valley was lively, and without saying a word, he led his troops to Huayin, which was bound to block Li Dao's way back to the west.
When Yang Feng heard the news from Chenggao Tiger Prison, he ran to Pingyin non-stop. The Pingyin ferry of the Yellow River was full of Hun garrisons, and cattle and sheep everywhere brought the livestock of the entire Zuoxianwang tribe to Luoyang. finally went around to find Liu Bao's royal tent, but saw that Liu Bao did not have the slightest worry about destroying the letter and killing the messenger, sniffing the incense that he got out of nowhere and leaning on the black panther fur king's couch very comfortably.
"King Zuoxian, you're crazy!" Yang Feng looked a little angry, wearing the stars and wearing the moon from Xingyang to Pingyin, he didn't even have time to change the dust on his body, and the exhaustion of galloping all night turned into a raging anger in his heart, and kicked over the wolf's head incense burner held by the little slave, splashing charcoal all over the ground, and said angrily: "Now there is still time to smell incense, if you ruin the letter, if General Yan's big thing is ruined, don't think about pulling Yang to die with him!" ”
Liu Bao seemed to have known that Yang Feng would rush over from Xingyang, so he sat up from the king's couch in a good time, waved his hand to let the slave collect the charcoal fire all over the ground, swept away the sparks splashed on the leather couch with some distress, looked up at the angry Yang Feng and said slowly: "Yo, come on, what a good skin, ruined!" ”
After speaking, Liu Bao said to Yang Feng: "What's the matter, don't you kill a messenger, what is he Li Zhiran, dare to blackmail Yan Zhongqing, is he worthy?" Kill and kill, how can you ruin the general's big thing? ”
"The general wants to welcome the emperor into Hebei, and now the emperor has not arrived in Luoyang, and Li Dao will not leave!" The source of Yang Feng's anger was not that Liu Bao killed the envoy without permission, but because of Li Dao's extraneous branches, what he was thinking about now was to quickly ask Li Dao to bring the emperor to Luoyang, and patted the back of his palm and said eagerly: "Now that you have killed Li Dao's envoy again, does he dare to come to Luoyang!" ”
This is not a war, the emperor is in the hands of Li Dao, Yang Feng will never dare to attack Li Dao, so when he looks at it, things seem to have entered a dead end.
"General Yang, you are also a Han from Sizhou, the emperor was robbed by thieves in Liangzhou like this, and you are comfortable holding the government? Now let that Li Zhiran threaten General Yan, you can't see what he has in mind? Liu Bao snorted with his nose like a horse beating his nose, and said disdainfully: "He didn't plan to come to Luoyang again, he wanted to cheat the grain and ran west with the emperor!" ”
Liu Bao said sadly, waved his hand casually to let Yang Feng sit down, and he also sat up straight from the couch and said: "I persuaded Han Xian to lead the troops to block Tongguan, Xu Gongming is optimistic about the Tiger Pass, you and I can join forces to save the emperor from Li Dao's hands." Rescue the emperor, General Yang, what kind of reward and status can you get? Think about it. ”
Yang Feng frowned, he was not tempted by the big cake drawn by Liu Bao, he still kept his calm and shook his head and said, "General Yan is leading the troops here, I don't want to incur the wrath of the Tiger of Liaodong because of this." ”
Not to mention that Yan Bei brought his subordinates to the elite, even if Yan Bei came to Guanzhong alone, Yang Feng would not have any thoughts of betrayal...... There is no better backer in the world than Yanbei, for his Bai Bo army, under the protection of the Yan family, to get a steady stream of grain and grass, only to give part of the loyalty, as long as An An can be free from suspicion, this is far more cost-effective than saving the emperor from Li Dao's hands to enjoy those illusory wishes.
"What does this matter, doesn't General Yan want the emperor to go to Luoyang and then move the capital to Yecheng. We rescued the emperor, and the credit is also General Yan's, and you can profit from it, and let General Yan and the world know that the talent of the Bai Bo Army is by no means comparable to ordinary grass cowards! Liu Bao squinted his eyes and laughed: "Why not!" ”
"What about you?"
Yang Feng felt that Liu Bao's words did have some truth, but he didn't understand why Liu Bao was so determined to do this...... This would have been very easy, it was enough to pass Li Dao's letter to Yanbei and let Yanbei make a decision, this is unreasonable! No matter how you look at it, the wisdom of the staff, the elite of the soldiers and horses, and even the help within the imperial court are much stronger than their Southern Xiongnu and Baibo armies.
Yang Feng didn't understand why Liu Bao had to do it. If the emperor can really be rescued according to what Liu Bao said, then what can Yang Feng get? At least in terms of general position, he may be at the same level as Yan Bei or even higher, and even have the title of township marquis and county marquis.
But this is not much good for Liu Bao.
"I'm afraid this doesn't make Your Excellency a Hun Shan Yu, right?"
Liu Bao smiled, waved his hand and said: "My father is a Xiongnu Shan Yu, and my nephew will also become a Shan Yu in the future, but my son and I will never be a Shan Yu." I am not for the position of Shan Yu, because my ancestors are Mao Dun Shan Yu, so I am not just the Xiongnu royal family. ”
Liu Bang once married the daughter of the clan Yu Mao Dun Shan Yu, and the two sides became brothers, and Mao Dun had an heir with the surname Liu.
"The emperor was caught in the hands of those Liangzhou bastards of Li Dao and Guo Yan, bullying orphans and widows, you are not ashamed, I still feel ashamed! I didn't have a chance to rescue the emperor before, but now I have a chance, and I will never miss it! I want to defeat Li Dao and rescue the emperor. After all, in terms of seniority, maybe he is my uncle or nephew. ”
"Why, you ask me? Because I have the blood of the royal family of the Han Dynasty and the King of the Huns in my body. Speaking of this, Liu Bao closed his eyes and slowly raised his head, as if an ancestor was watching his every move through the high sky of the king's tent, "Don't forget, my surname is also Liu!" ”
