Zhang Liang and Xiao He had already written a letter of advice in the house, and now they were a lot more relaxed when they heard that the mother and son had been released, and although Liu Bang no longer asked about the matter, he had a new decision because of Lu Gong's words.

It is said that although Liu Bang is not worried about Lu Yan's affairs, he has always been worried about the strength of the Xiongnu, after all, as the founding emperor, he wants to leave a prosperous era for future generations.

Liu Bang made up his mind in his heart, and the next day he convened the ministers to discuss the matter, Lu Yanxiao was everywhere, for the matter of the mother and son, Liu Bang needed to clarify the root of the problem first.

Lu Yan is casual, no matter what Liu Bang says, he just nods frequently, you are the boss, everything you say is right, who has been in the officialdom for so many years, who doesn't have two brushes.

Liu Bang was also very satisfied with this, "Now Han Wangxin defected to the Xiongnu and did not return, I was very bored in my heart, and wanted to come to my homeland in the Central Plains, even if the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States were divided, I never let the Xiongnu take half of the advantage." ”

"Since I became the throne of heaven, the four seas have surrendered, but the Huns have a very high opinion of themselves, and I want to start a crusade, what do you think?" After Liu Bang solved Lu Yan's matter, he turned to say seriously.

Xiao He was the first to come out again, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, King Pingnan has already made peace in this matter, and there is no loss, why do you want to raise troops here?" ”

"In the past, Tian Heng fled from the sea, and now he returns to Chang'an and takes righteousness, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, saw that the Central Plains was stable, and he also gave up his hands to the court, why is the Xiongnu so stubborn, and wants to be the enemy of the Celestial Empire, I want to lead troops to attack, my territory, how to sit on an equal footing, only to surrender to show the power of the Heavenly Dynasty!" Liubu said excitedly.

Everyone was silent, Lu Yan was beside him, and thought for a while: "The Xiongnu are far away from here, Your Majesty is not as good as going on an expedition in person, if you let the princes join forces and crusade to weaken your strength, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." ”

Liu Bang was silent, and only after a long time did he say: "The soldiers and horses will naturally come out, but I need to personally lead the troops, I want to see what kind of people the Huns are, and let Han Wangxin surrender!" ”

The officials on the left and right sides of the palace all spoke of comfort, but Liu Bang seemed to have made up his mind, so everyone was not admonishing, and wanted to come to the people's livelihood to be stable.

Only Lu Yan hesitated in his heart, thinking that no matter who wins or loses on both sides, it is a loss, unless Lu Jing does not send troops and lets Xidan Yu come to fight, the matter may be solved, and it will be difficult for Liu Bang to find out the relationship between Lu Yan and Murong Jing at that time.

Not to mention the affairs of Chang'an, after Liu Bang was approved by hundreds of officials, of course, he made his own opinion, and gathered 300,000 princes from all walks of life, wanting to exterminate the Xiongnu in one fell swoop.

And in Xianbei City, Lu Jing heard that Lu Wan'er was imprisoned and almost died, and his heart was already furious, and now he heard that Liu Bang came to attack the Xiongnu, he couldn't help but laugh a little, Lu Jing himself really looked down on the Han Dynasty.

So, Lu Jing discussed with the elders, but after all, he had just reached a contract with his brother some time ago that he should not send troops, but as a joint chief, Lu Jing's failure to send troops does not mean that his subordinates cannot march.

At this time, Xidan Yu first stated his position, that is, Mao Dun Shan Yu, a branch of Bei Dan Yu, was originally beaten away by Meng Tian Tou Man Shan Yu, for some reason, the governance headquarters was not good, Mao Dun Shan Yu broke away and came out, and Lu Jing was closer, when the Central Plains disputed, Lu Jing sent troops to help him solve the head Man Shan Yu, and then the Xiongnu were fully vested in Mao Dun Shan Yu.

Without further ado, Mao Dunshan immediately said: "Leader Murong, I have long heard that the Han army is not good, and it should not be withdrawn that day. ”

Lu Jing pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Now that you are taking me as the leader, the Han army is coming to attack again, how can there be any reason not to send troops, but the Han army is coming to attack, although we have heavy troops stationed in the grassland, but I don't fight, I need to let the Han Emperor know that the Xiongnu subordinates can defeat it, who is willing to go?" ”

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Mao Dunshan stood up first, "Rest assured, patriarch, give me 100,000 soldiers and horses, and discipline the Han army to come and go, and all of them will be buried in the land of the Huns." ”

"This, it's not that I don't trust you, I'm just afraid that 100,000 people will be unable to defeat the 300,000 horses of the Han army." Lu Jing said with some excitement.

Sure enough, that Mao Dun Dan's temperament rose in an instant, and he said very loudly: "If I don't drive the Han army away today, I would like to come to see the patriarch!" ”

Lu Jing nodded after hearing this, "Since this is the case, you will lead the troops, everything must be careful, in addition, we live deep in the grassland, we don't like the Central Plains, if we defeat the Han army, don't kill it, and grab more money and slaves from it." ”

"Don't worry, this patriarch, I have my own measure, and I will never let the patriarch down!" Mao Dun Shan Yu said very confidently.

The Huns did not mention the whole army, Liu Bang personally conquered this time, and the generals were not at ease after all, so Xiahou Ying and Chen Ping accompanied him, and they had a good response.

On the Xiongnu side, it is Mao Dun Shan Yu and the Right Xian King, their system is not clear, anyway, there are always a few Xian Kings next to Shan Yu, it should be more comfortable to listen to.

The first to fight with the Han army was not the Xiongnu soldiers, but Han Wangxin, since you have taken refuge in the Xiongnu, you can't be idle, you must go to the battle to show your loyalty.

Imagine that the Han army is 300,000, and Han Wangxin's fief may not be able to accommodate 300,000 people, and the two sides will fight, even if there is no strategy, there is naturally no suspense.

After the Han army entered Taiyuan County, it won successive victories, especially the battle of Tongba, which won a complete victory, causing Han Wangxin's army to suffer heavy casualties, and his subordinate general Wang Xi was killed by the Han army.

At this moment, it really made Han Wangxin panic, and he didn't care about anything behind him, and fled directly to the Xiongnu with thousands of men and horses. And Han Wangxin's generals were a little more upright, among which Manqiuchen, Wang Huang and others supported Zhao Li, a descendant of Zhao during the Warring States Period, as the king, gathered Han Wangxin's remnants of the defeated generals, and prepared to fight with the Han army again.

Han Wangxin is naturally no longer among them, in Han Wangxin's opinion, these people are absolutely stunned, hundreds of remnants of the army will be defeated, fighting with hundreds of thousands of Han troops, and you will be killed one by one, it will take ten days and a half months to solve, and the consequences will be defeat.

After Han Wangxin fled to the Xiongnu, he and Mao Dun Shan Yu, as well as the right Xian Wang Tun soldiers south of Guangwu to Jinyang, in an attempt to block the Han army from advancing north, and then intercept and kill the Han army, at this time, Mao Dun Shan Yu looked down on the Han army and only sent 20,000 Hun soldiers.

After the Han army defeated Wang Huang and others, they continued to pursue the victory, and by the way, they defeated the combined army of Han Wangxin and the Xiongnu in Jinyang, and pursued directly to Lishi, and defeated the combined army of Han Wangxin and the Xiongnu again.

At this moment, Mao Dun Shan Yucai realized that the Han army was not an egg, and he was not a stone, so it would be difficult to fight with the Han army and the Murong patriarch.

As a result, Mao Dunshan Yu gathered all the elite soldiers in one place, ready to discuss strategies, and no longer prepared to confront the Han army head-on, but thought of another move.
