Northern Han. Zhongzhou Mansion. The festival makes the yamen.

Liu Shen, the king of the Northern Han Dynasty, dressed in leather soft armor and military attire, summoned Yang Biao, who had just personally escorted Wen Damu to Zhongzhou from Wangyuan Pass, in the study.

Liu Shen is the eldest son of Liu Qiming, the king of the old Han Dynasty, and was born to Wang Shufei, the favorite concubine of the old Han king. Liu Shen inherited the tall figure of the old Han King and the beautiful appearance of Wang Shufei, with a well-balanced figure, slender limbs, clear eyebrows, white face and red lips, he was a handsome man who was famous among the princes at that time, and his mother was gentle and virtuous, trained well since childhood, and he was good at learning.

Liu Shen is talented, he came out to assist his father in dealing with military and political affairs earlier, and since he was a teenager, he has matured his wings, just waiting to flap his wings and soar into the sky. Originally, everyone thought that the old Han king was intended to grow up, carefully cultivated, and Liu Shen would be the successor to the unification, but who knew that under the curtain of the current queen mother, the old Han king finally changed his mind, followed the custom of establishing a successor in the past dynasties, and set up his son Liu Yan as the prince.

After Liu Yan ascended the throne, he and Liu Shen had political disagreements. Whenever Liu Shen has a statement, Liu Yan is suspicious and refuses to accept it, and even blames the court. There were repeated conflicts between the two sides, coupled with the undercurrents of the palace, after Concubine Wang Shu lost the protection of the old Han King, she had many thrills in the harem. All these things will eventually turn against each other. Liu Yan ordered the killing of Liu Shen's mother and son. After receiving a secret report from their loyal servants, the mother and son fled and moved to their fiefdom Yunzhou, where they were supported by some of the civil and military generals, and formed their own faction, eventually splitting the territory and establishing a new royal power.

Because of his own strength, Liu Shen is a thorough man of action, when there is an emergency, he will never just sit in the court to listen to the ministers to offer advice, or sit and wait for the ministers to come forward to save the situation, he is used to coming to the scene in person, leading the crowd to solve the problem on the spot.

After hearing about the enemy's large-scale attack on Wangyuan Pass and the urgent military situation of besieging Wangyuan Pass, Liu Shen did not hesitate and immediately led his troops to Zhongzhou Mansion in person, preparing to take command to meet the enemy in an all-round way, and to discuss how to relieve the siege of Wangyuan Pass and other urgent tasks. I don't want to, just arrived in Zhongzhou Mansion, sat down for a long time, the dust has not been dusted, Wangyuan Pass came to the military report, saying that there is a Southern Han army suddenly cross-border rush to help, and the surprise attack was successful, captured the enemy general, and launched an attack, heavy damage to the defenders under the city, and the Northern Han army in the city should be combined with the outside, now, the siege of Wangyuan Pass has been broken, the two sides combined forces to annihilate the enemy 9,000, almost let the enemy army annihilated, a comprehensive victory! Yang Biao had even set out to escort the captured enemy leader to Huaizhou Mansion, and the enemy leader turned out to be the family of the Khan's favorite third son, Wendamu! This is the highest-ranking enemy chief captured by the Han people in the continuous wars with Beihu in recent years! With this weight in hand, you can negotiate many conditions with the Khan King.

After reading Yang Biao's letter, Liu Shen was overjoyed and even more surprised! How could the Southern Han army come to his rescue at the risk of treason? Moreover, this person did not want to capture Wendamu's outstanding military exploits and huge benefits, but gave Wendamu away! It's really a world of energy, and the courage is slightly outstanding!

Since this person doesn't care about high-ranking officials, what he cares about must be something of a higher level. That thing can only be the world.

However, if he intends to be in the world, why doesn't he support the army and divide the territory, be independent, and participate in the competition for power in the world? Why do you want to abandon the Southern Han Dynasty, which is stronger in strength and territory, and throw yourself into the arms of a corner of the country where success or failure is uncertain?

With a series of questions in his heart, he couldn't wait to summon Yang Biao, who had just arrived in Huaizhou Mansion.

Yang Biao told him in detail about the Battle of Wangyuan and your first meeting with you at Wangyuan Pass.

"He took the initiative to save you, and captured the Wendamu family and gave it to me? Aren't you afraid that my brother will be condemned? Liu Shen said.

Yang Biao said: "He said that there were also gifts of the same value to Dongcheng, which were the two daughters of the Khan King. ”

Liu Shen was surprised: "Oh? The harvest of his surprise attack is really rich enough! It's enough to give gifts at both ends! This guy is really interesting. ”

He asked Yang Biao: "In your opinion, what kind of person is this?" ”

Yang Biao: "Although I have only met Guan Xia once, my subordinates feel that he has a different bearing. His bravery on the battlefield, his calmness in the face of death threats, and his strong self-confidence, as well as his confidence in the follow-up battles, all left a deep impression on his subordinates. His Majesty has a strong intuition: If you talk about leading troops to fight, today, maybe, and in the future, it will be proved that no one among the countries vying for power can be better than the right. ”

Liu Shen said: "Since he can easily give me a gift even as a prisoner like Wen Damu, it shows that he is completely sure that he will achieve a greater victory than Wangyuan's victory, and that he will be able to obtain greater and more important benefits to be dedicated to the king to whom he is willing to be loyal." He was telling me that he had the power to help the king rule the world. Because he was able to offer a complete and unified new world to the king, he had the money to bargain and be entitled to ask him to choose a king to whom he would be loyal and to negotiate with him. ”

Yang Biao replied: "Your Majesty thinks that he really has the kind of bearing and pattern that equalizes the world's heroes on the battlefield. ”

Liu Shen said: "In the past few days when I saw your battle report, military reports from all over the northern front have also been sent one after another. Only then did this king know that he was the young talent who Lei Shicheng personally saved in Dongcheng back then, and only then did he know that before he came to save you Wangyuan, he had already relied on a mere 500 men and horses, went deep into the grassland, crisscrossed thousands of miles, and annihilated the three strikers of the Beji people attacking the Southern Han in one fell swoop, disintegrated the offensive of the Beji people in the south, and made earth-shattering immortal feats. So unstoppable, so invincible! ”

Yang Biao said: "Your Majesty has also read the battle reports of all parties in the past few days, and I am really shocked, I can't imagine that before he came to Wangyuan, there would be such a shocking feat!" ”

Liu Shen said: "No matter what his intentions are, and no matter which side he wants to help, he has fought in these battles on the grassland this time is really very relieved, which makes this king very happy!" He went to the robber's house and ransacked it! It's really happy, the shame of a snow Han person who has been beaten for a hundred years! It has grown the prestige of our Han people! This king loves his style of fighting! ”

Yang Biao looked at Liu Shen's expression and said, "So, is King Han going to see him?" ”

Liu Shen smiled and said, "Then, did I say I was going to see him?" ”

Liu Shen said: "This king has half of today's country, and it doesn't rely on divine luck from heaven, it is all earned with a knife and a gun, a soldier, a city and a pool." Even though he has these earth-shattering feats, but after all, he is a fledgling, and it is difficult to know what will happen after a long time, how can he say that he will see it, and I will deign to see it? Is this king so worthless? Going so easily, doesn't it make people look down on this king? ”

Liu Shen said: "Although it is the king's wish to dominate the world, it is by no means an overnight achievement. This king is not in a hurry. ”

Liu Shen said: "Let's see how he comes back from the grassland this time." If he can perform miraculous deeds again, and can return with his life, he will be worthy of seeing this king. ”
