Lu Yan sent the letter, thinking that the Huns knew a little about lifting, but he never thought that a few days later, the city of Mayi was broken by the Huns, robbing the property in the city, although there were soldiers guarding the city, the loss was still serious.

In the front hall of Weiyang Palace, even the kind-hearted Liu Ying was furious, and the spearhead was pointed at Lu Yan, knowing that the Huns would send troops, they should not have tolerated it so much in the first place, but now it is good, things are given, and the city is also swept away.

Seeing this, he directly listed in the palace and said: "Your Majesty, this is the poor governance of the auxiliary government, so there is today's matter, according to the opinion of the old minister, it is better to cut off his position as an auxiliary minister, and then send troops to the Huns, so as to raise the prestige of my Han country." ”

Lu Yan's face was quite indifferent, "Dare to ask Lord Duwei, where are the soldiers in the attack on the Huns?" Or give you 20,000 elite soldiers, let you go to the border to fight in the Xiongnu, if Sheng resigns from the post of auxiliary government, return to his hometown, and live for a long time, if defeated, please also ask the adult to give an explanation. ”

"This? Thinking that Emperor Gao led 300,000 soldiers and had not been able to defeat the Xiongnu, what good was 20,000 soldiers? Judging the food, he said without confidence.

Lu Yan immediately threw up his sleeves, "It seems that the adults are still a little sensible, and have not forgotten the shame of the Han Dynasty, and now the Huns know that the Emperor Gao has died, so he is arrogant, if he attacks it with troops, the border barbarians will wait for work, our army will travel a long distance, if it wins, it will be injured, if it is defeated, the Central Plains will have no peace, don't you know?" ”

When he heard what he said, he was a little panicked in his heart, and immediately arched his hand and said: "The auxiliary political prince understands the righteousness, and our ministers don't know, and we still ask the public to adjudicate everything, and we don't dare to rebel." ”

"Your Majesty, the matter of the Huns is a dereliction of duty, and the minister will solve it as soon as possible so that the people on the frontier will not be disturbed." Seeing this, Lu Yan said directly to Liu Ying.

Liu Ying's face was slightly calmer, "This is a major matter, I hope the teacher will solve it as soon as possible, don't make the people of the Central Plains homeless because of the Xiongnu, this is the responsibility of the state." ”

After Lu Yan received the order, he returned to the school palace in a rather unhappy mood, and immediately convened many strategists, including Chen Ping, Lu Jia, and Lou Jing.

Now among the strategists in the court, several people are quite trusted by Lu Yan, so they discussed with them, and after the four of them finished the ceremony, Lu Yan first spoke: "Today, the Xiongnu are powerful, and it seems that they are incompatible with the Han Dynasty, but the Central Plains are in turmoil, and the people have not been cultivated, and I am afraid that the world is like the end of Qin, so peace with the Xiongnu is precious." ”

"What the prince said is extremely true, but it seems that there is no safe way in the court, and now Xingyang and Yandi are all here, if there is no complete strategy, I am afraid that Your Majesty will insist on sending troops." Chen Ping said worriedly.

"Duke Lu, you once went to South Vietnam to persuade Zhao Tuo to surrender, I think I know a lot about the affairs of other countries, I don't know what he thinks of this duke?" Lu Yan asked very respectfully.

Lu Jia bowed slightly, "The prince has won the award, although he went to South Vietnam, his people are simple and simple, not as tricky and barbaric as the Huns, and he can be persuaded in just a few words." ”

"Today's Xiongnu is like this, but there is a lack of food and clothing, according to the next opinion, it is better to send more envoys to send me all the things of the Han Dynasty, and the two states are good." Lu Jia said thoughtfully.

Lu Yan waved his hand slightly, "Xianbei Chengzhong, most of them are nobles, money can solve the temporary strategy, it is difficult to solve the worries of eternity, and the situation of the Han Dynasty can still be fought in ten years, and now it needs a long-term strategy to stabilize the Huns." ”

Seeing that several people had no good plans, Lu Yan wanted to write a letter to Lu Jing at the moment, hoping that he would not send troops, at least the two states would be peaceful, but Lu Jing was the lord of the barbarian state after all, and Lu Yan did not want to interfere in his personal capacity now.

Ran Lou Jing was beside him, his face was erratic, there was something in his mouth, and he stopped talking, Lu Yan saw this, and immediately asked: "The public has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, Ziyu will never blame." ”

Lou Jing stroked his beard slightly, "Lord Wang, this strategy, a little trickery, inferior, it's better not to say it." ”

"If the two states are on good terms, how can there be conspiracies and tricks, and when the Han soldiers are generalized, they can be recovered together, and now they should be under the people." Lu Yan said slowly.

When Lou Jing heard this, he had no scruples in his heart, and immediately spoke: "Lord Qiqi, the Xiongnu are barbarians, they don't know etiquette, and they can't be virtuous, so they can only make their descendants submit, but I don't know what kind of person the Murong patriarch is." ”

"What the public said is very good, but the great leader of Murong is not a problem, but it is his subordinate Xiongnu leader Mao Dunshan Yu, who invades the frontier all day long, and recovers his descendants is the safest." Lu Yan said seriously beside him.

Murong Jing is a pre-Qin person, Mao Dunshan can do such nonsense, it must be tolerated, or Murong Jing is too lazy to care about him, so he only needs to settle Mao Dun Shan Yu, but after all, it must be in the name of the Han Dynasty, not the name of King Pingnan.

Lou Jing bowed his head and continued: "Lord Qi, this plan is a policy of harmony, if you can marry the eldest princess born to the Queen Mother to Mao Dun as his wife, and give him a rich gift, he knows that it is the sister of the Han Emperor who has sent a rich gift, then the Hun barbarians do not know how to educate, Mao Dun Shan must love the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, and take her as a wife, and the son born must be the eldest son, who will take over his father's throne in the future. ”

"In this way, the Xiongnu coveted the rich gifts of the Han Dynasty, so we took the superfluous things of the Han Dynasty throughout the year and the few things of the Xiongnu to ask and give them, and by the way, we sent people who could speak well to enlighten him with etiquette."

"Xiongnu Maodun reigned, according to reason, naturally the son-in-law of the Han Dynasty, if he returned to heaven due to illness, his son ascended the throne, he would be the real leader of the Xiongnu, and his nephew was a barbarian monarch, how could I have heard that the nephew dared to fight against his uncle?"

"The army can gradually submit the Xiongnu without fighting, and the biggest problem now is that the Empress Dowager Lu does not let Princess Lu Yuan go to the Xiongnu."

After hearing this, Lu Yan frowned slightly, "Then Princess Lu Yuan is the daughter of the Empress Dowager Lu, and she is already married, how can she follow such a plan from us." ”

"Don't be like this, the Hun envoy has not seen Princess Lu Yuan, and when the time comes, he will send a daughter out of the palace casually, and he can fake the truth and solve the matter." Chen Ping said in a low voice.

Lu Jia hurriedly waved his hand, "Although this plan is good, if it is a fake princess and is recognized by the Huns, it will definitely refuse to be close to the Han Dynasty, and it needs to be considered in the long run." ”

"In this case, a certain person went to the palace to give the Empress Dowager, there are many princesses in the palace, there is no need to be Princess Lu Yuan, as long as she is young and beautiful, it will definitely make Mao Dunshan tempted, if this woman is bloody, it is really good to enter the Huns and poison her leader." Lu Yan said very seriously.

"In this way, the Huns will definitely send troops to attack." Lou Jing said worriedly.

"If that Mao Dunshan is dead, how can the Huns be arrogant, this matter still depends on the princess's character, and Lou Jing suggested that if you have merit, Ziyu will show your majesty and reward him more." Lu Yan said quite decisively.
