Chapter Twenty-Nine: What Do You Want?
In the following day, the Huns made a strange choice, they did not wave their troops to attack the city, but constantly pointed out beyond the reach of arrows, sometimes riding close to the city wall about 300 paces, shouting, "Where is that warrior named Lin Bin?" Without waiting for the Han army to shoot arrows, they hurriedly retreated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the evening of the next day, more than 1,000 reinforcements came from the Huns, and they quickly set up camp with the headquarters of the Huns under the city under the banner of the Aries Department, and then rushed out more than 200 horsemen, shouting in unison with torches, "The warriors of the Han people, Lin Bin came out to see you!" Just stopped out of the reach of the arrows and kept shouting, and the trumpet changed, "I only know Lin Bin, a Han warrior; I only know Lin Bin, a Han warrior".
The grandson on the top of the city tower boiled his face with a bad face, he has been tired of the roar of the Huns in the past two days, he is not unaware of the Huns are using tricks, but he is holding his breath in his heart, as a song is not as loud as a small Shichang, but he can only endure the shame helplessly.
In other words, who is not arrogant? Especially Gongsun Xi, who is young and ambitious and has been promoted to the position of military marquis, if it weren't for Ran Yuemin's persuasion, he sometimes even wants to kill Lin Bin desperately, and then wave his army to fight the Huns to the death, proving that he, the Gongsun Xi of the Gongsun Gate Valve of Yiqu, is a thousand times better and ten thousand times braver than a small Shichang!
"Hey~" He swung his sword and slashed at the battlements, "I'm angry!" One day, the marquis of this army will want the king of Aries to kneel at his feet and tremble! He walked to the right side of the tower and looked at the city wall on the southeast side of the fortress, where there were more than two hundred soldiers standing in the darkness, and Lin Bin, who he valued and hated, was also among them, "The marquis of this army likes your courage very much, but he has to kill you if he goes on like this!" ”
What Gongsun Xi said was the truth, whether it was for himself or for Gongsun Gate, as long as Lin Bin's limelight overshadowed him, he had to get rid of Lin Bin to enhance his prestige. The interests of the gate valve are above all else, if the reputation of Gongsun Boil, who is the head of a song, is not as good as a small one, it will definitely be laughed at, which will hit the prestige of the Gongsun Gate Valve, then not only Gongsun is embarrassed, but the entire Yiqu Gongsun Gate Valve will also be looked down upon by other Gate Valve, and it is a matter of course that it will be replaced in the long run.
And what is Lin Bin doing? Without it, he was still pondering as always, recalling that it had been almost three months since he came to the Han Dynasty, and he had survived in ignorance, and the actions of the Huns in the past two days also made him discover the predicament he was facing. He talked to Gongsun Hong, who told him that the military marquis Gongsun Yu had already murdered him, and reminded him to be more careful and not to be in the limelight again.
Lin Bin thought a lot, and even thought about escaping, anyway, it was better to do anything than to sit still, he went to the wounded barracks to look for Dou Shiyan and Lu Wu Zuomu. Lu Wu Zuomu found it, but he fell into a coma, he didn't find Dou Shiyan, he was so anxious that he could only climb the city wall again under the urging of the war drums. He thought that he had to find Dou Shiyan and make sure that he was still alive before leaving, and he expected Gongsun to kill himself after the Huns retreated.
……
In the north of the smoke, located in the south of the Dai County to control the water of this fort has been isolated from the outside world, they do not know that more than ten miles away from here another fort has been broken by the Hun Black Sheep Department, the Black Sheep Department broke through the Fort and went deep into the Dai County more than 40 miles, burning, killing and looting, all evil, and then met with the Xiu Qin Wang Department to turn east to kill Yuyang County, nearly 10,000 Hun cavalry hunted the northern frontier of the Han Court, and the prey is always the life of the Han people! Under the will of Emperor Wu not to use the sword soldiers, the Huns were like entering a no-man's land.
The Han court set up more forts in the frontier to resist the cavalry of the Huns, but not every fort is as strong as the fort that Gongsun Xi was ordered to guard, many of the forts are not pentagonal diamond-shaped, but square, and the walls of some forts are not more than two zhang (1 zhang 2.31 meters) at all, and the other forts of the Bian Rong Lieutenant did not like Gongsun Boil, and added an arrow tower about five meters high with wooden stakes behind the city wall, just from this point of view, Gongsun Boiled is much better and more cautious than other Bian Rong Captains.
In Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu Liu Che, who had just completed the enthronement ceremony, had already received a battle report from Biansai, and learned that the military minister Shan Yu had just retreated, and the Huns took advantage of the great mourning of the Han State, and the Xiongnu tribes of all sizes raised troops to Koubian.
Liu Che, the martial emperor who mourned the death of his father, was summoned by the Empress Dowager Dou.
Emperor Wu Liu Che is a person who is absolutely unwilling to endure shame, he refused to make peace when he was summoned by the Empress Dowager Dou, but under the persuasion of his mother Wang Huan, his attitude finally relaxed, but he said that this time the Huns wanted a real princess of the royal family, and now the royal family has no suitable princess to marry.
Liu Che also roared in front of the Empress Dowager Dou, the Empress Dowager Wang Huan, and many palace maids: "If the country and the nation want to rely on women's breasts in exchange for survival, what's the use of the army!" ”
Dou reprimanded: "Yu'er is too presumptuous! You just ascended the throne and talked about the army, how can I rest assured that the country will be in your hands, don't forget that I still have all the princes and kings to choose from, if you don't want to be this emperor, someone will naturally be the emperor! ”
Wang Wan was extremely afraid of the Dou family, who controlled the national government and the family gate, and was afraid that Liu Che's throne would be abolished, so he began to persuade him frequently, and finally Emperor Wu Liu Che was full of anger but had to compromise.
In the Han Kingdom, which pursues filial piety, it is a great disrespect to disobey the elders, and furthermore, he has just ascended the throne and has not yet had his own strength, and most of the government and army are in the hands of the Dou clan of the Empress Dowager Dou's mother's family, and they are forced to break the Chinese national tradition that the national mourning is not suitable for marriage, and send envoys to the Xiongnu, promising to send the princess to the Xiongnu and relatives.
The strategy of harmony was set, but he failed to find a suitable princess, the envoy of the military minister Shan Yu said very clearly, designated to the Han Emperor's sisters, if not, then waiting for the Han State will be the 300,000 iron horsemen of the Xiongnu, persuading the Han Emperor to obediently send his siblings, and continue to be a good neighbor with the Xiongnu, of course, the Huns' Da Shan Yu has also become the brother-in-law of the Han Emperor.
It's a disgrace, a great disgrace! But what can it be? The Han State did not have enough national strength, and even more lacked war horses, so it could not fight with the Xiongnu for a long time, so it could only break its teeth and swallow it.
At this time, Liu Che's sibling sister was either married or in poor health, Emperor Wu had three sisters, and the eldest sister Pingyang Princess Liu Ying had already married Pingyang Hou Cao Shou; The second sister, Nangong Princess Liu Jing, also had a marriage contract with Nangong Marquis Zhang Zao, but Zhang Zao was dissolute and repeatedly disrespectful to Nangong Princess Liu Jing, so the marriage was not completed for the time being; The third sister, Princess Liu Ji, has been weak and sick since she was a child, and sent her to the wild and cold Huns, undoubtedly killing her in disguise.
Liu Che was furious after returning to Weiyang Palace, and finally understood that being the emperor was not something he could do as he wanted, and Liu Che, who had no power of his own, secretly decided to cultivate a lineage, and the first thing to do was to take back the rights that belonged to the emperor from the Empress Dowager Dou.
As soon as Emperor Wu remembered the conversation with the Empress Dowager on the day he ascended the throne, he felt even more angry in his heart, and he hated to draw his sword and cut people: "Huang Lao Wuwei, I have to tell you everything I do, I ...... I...... I ......" said, and he knelt on the ground and cried under the feeling of grievance.
Empress Dowager Dou's family is very large, and the main members of the family have been crowned marquis. But none of them returned to the feudal country, and they stayed in the capital and did not leave, intertwined into a network of relationships. They monitored the emperor, and whenever anything happened, they reported to the Empress Dowager Dou. Therefore, although Mrs. Dou's eyes are blind, she is smarter than a clear-eyed person.
Emperor Wu Liu Che, who had just ascended the throne and was only sixteen years old, was a person with great ambitions and great talents. He wanted to be a monarch who did just like his grandfather and father. But above him there is a queen mother (Emperor Xiaowen's empress Dou family), and with Dou's control, he can't do anything.
Wang Wan came to Weiyang Palace and saw Liu Che kneeling and crying, and comforted him again and again, suggesting that Liu Che should know how to be patient, the Dou family is already old, and Liu Che is still young and can't bear it, and the emperor is not Liu Che's. Liu Che finally stopped crying after hearing this, and asked Wang Wan what to do about the matter of his relatives, Wang Wan said that Nangong Hou Zhang sat uninhibited, repeatedly disrespected Nangong Princess Liu Jing, and was not qualified to be a concubine, and decided to cancel the marriage contract between Nangong Princess Liu Jing and Nangong Hou Zhang Zuo, and send Nangong Princess Liu Jing to marry the Huns.
In this way, Liu Jing, the seventeen-year-old princess of Nangong, was determined to be chosen by her relatives, and decided to give the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Dang Yan a month later, if there is no accident, she will be like many great women in history, sacrifice herself, and use the slender woman's shoulders to carry the hope of survival of the Han nation.
"I, the fourth great-great-grandson of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and the seventh emperor of the Han Empire - Liu Che, swear to the land of the heavens, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and tens of millions of Li people: I will step on the Huns in this life, and I will be ashamed of the humiliation suffered by the emperors of the Xue Dynasty!!."
