Chapter 224 The place where the world comes in

There is no regret medicine in the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Liu Wei tried his last breath to say "Childe must keep his promise", Ying Xuan just realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, but it was still too late after all.

Liu Wei had a dagger stuck in his abdomen, and he was no longer breathing at the moment. In addition to being shocked, Ying Xuan also had a feeling of being trapped, and Gongsun Hui and Zheng Hong who were present were not surprised at all, as if everything was taken for granted.

Gongsun Hui asked the convoy to stop temporarily and ordered someone to bury Liu Wei's body nearby.

Back in the carriage, Ying Xuan asked, "Did you know that he would do this, why didn't you stop him, but you also planned to let me save Liu Zi?"

Zheng Hong said: "The princess is my master, and she is kind to me, if it were me, I am afraid she would do the same."

"But it's a human life! You can persuade me again, why is he so stupid? Ying Xuan pointed at Gongsun Hui angrily, and said, "And you, although I don't know the specific relationship between you and Liu Zi, you also want me to save her, right?" But I don't understand, with the relationship between you and the king, it is not so difficult to save people, why do you have to pull me? ”

Gongsun Hui sighed and said: "Gongzi doesn't know, the route of the Heqin mission has been determined, first out of Chang'an, then to Jinyang, and finally to meet with the Huns in Dingxiang County of Daiguo.

Gongzi Ming didn't understand that the Heqin Mission couldn't have an accident on behalf of the country in any case, unless there was a ......"

"Unless somebody is a substitute for the dead, right? Regardless of whether I succeed or fail in the end, you will put the blame on Qin Hei, and it has nothing to do with you and the country behind you.

But what if I don't? ”

Gongsun Hui smiled and said: "Childe may have misunderstood, Princess Yiyang's matter has nothing to do with the old man, no matter what Childe does, I will have no opinion."

It's just that I just feel that Gongzi didn't plan to sit idly by from the beginning, and you still have this princess in your heart, not to mention that you want to seek revenge from Zhao Xin, and saving people is also a incidental thing! ”

Ying Xuan was seen through his thoughts, and said unhappily: "Okay, don't talk about these useless things anymore, since Zhao Xin is going to come to Daiguo, then you can tell me about Daiguo in detail!"

Gongsun Hui nodded and said, "Daiguo is a veritable place in the world!"

Ying Xuan carefully pondered the meaning of Gongsun Hui's words and thought it was true.

Daiguo is the northernmost vassal state of the Han Dynasty, even further north than Yan County. When the capital of the era is Jinyang, its territory north to the desert, south to Yanmen Pass, west to the Yellow River, east and Yan County border, the territory has the danger of Heng Mountain, Wutai Mountain, the place is about 500 miles, very close to the Xiongnu, starting from Qin, to the Han Dynasty, and the Xiongnu broke out countless wars, the so-called "the place where the world is used" is also.

Gongsun Hui said: "Since the Xiongnu Maodun Shan unified the northern desert, its momentum has become increasingly prosperous, and it has repeatedly violated the border. In the sixth year of Gaozu, Emperor Gao named his brother Liu Zhong as the acting king, and in the ninth year of Gaozu, the Xiongnu attacked the country, Liu Zhong abandoned the country and fled, and was deposed as the Marquis of Haoyang. In the eleventh year of Gaozu, Emperor Gao named his eight-year-old son as the acting king, and he has been until now.

Daiguo has jurisdiction over four counties, namely Taiyuan County, Yanmen County, Dai County and Dingxiang County, of which Dingxiang County is located in the north of the Zhaogu Great Wall, south of the Qinxin Great Wall, but since the death of Meng Tian, the Xiongnu wantonly went south, this place still belongs to the Han Dynasty on the surface, I am afraid that most places have been under the control of the Xiongnu. ”

Ying Xuan muttered: "The Huns have always had no fixed residence, and they must have only come to plunder property, but even so, the life of the people in the border counties will not be easy."

Gongsun Hui sighed and said: "In recent years, the Huns have repeatedly burned and looted in the north of Daiguo, and the king has asked Chang'an for help many times, but every time it has sunk into the sea, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that Daiguo will cease to exist!"

"So Empress Lu thought of a way to get along, but it was also a helpless move, and now the Han is in a state of ruin, it is best not to fight with the Huns."

Ying Xuan saw that Gongsun Hui and Liu Wei were depressed, so he changed his words and said: "It is indeed not suitable to start a decisive battle with the Xiongnu at this time, but we can't give up resistance, and let the Huns spread wild and fight again!" It's still necessary. ”

"But ......"

"Nothing!" Ying Xuan interrupted savagely, "It's not that I'm boasting as the heir of Qin, at least when General Meng Tian was guarding the Great Wall, the Huns dared to take a step beyond Lei Chi.

It's just that Meng Tian died unjustly later, Daqin no longer exists, and your ancestor was besieged by the Huns in Baideng for seven days and seven nights.

If you want me to say, the Huns are not so terrible, but you have been beaten and feared for a long time and have lost confidence. Think about it for yourself, when have you fought since the founding of the Han Dynasty? Even if it hits the hinterland of the Huns once, it will not fall into such a passive situation! ”

Gongsun Hui smiled awkwardly, Ying Xuan's words were obviously sarcastic, but most of them were facts, now it is impossible to resist the Huns' invasion, how can we talk about counterattacking!

Ying Xuan suddenly slapped his thigh and said impassionedly: "Otherwise, you will give me a half-official position, and I will go to the north to clean up the Huns for you, although it is not said that you can definitely win, but at least the Huns will not dare to easily violate the border of Daiguo!"

Gongsun Hui looked at the confident Ying Xuan in front of him in surprise, and said suspiciously: "Childe is joking?" Your ability, the old man never doubts, but leading troops to fight is not child's play, and the opponent is still the Huns, this ......"

Ying Xuan waved his hand and interrupted: "I know that you can't be the master, so let's wait until you get to Jinyang and see your family as the king." Since the acting king took the risk of offending Empress Lu and sincerely accepted him, then I also have to show some sincerity! ”

In fact, the above is just Ying Xuan's polite words, and his real purpose is two.

First, with the help of the power of Daiguo to avenge Zhong's father, God knows how many people Zhao Xin brought out from Chang'an, and his own strength alone is a little insufficient.

Second, although Gongsun Hui treats himself respectfully along the way, he always needs to bow his head when he gets under the roof of others, even if he is cautious everywhere, he also has to worry about his life, so cultivating his own strength is a top priority.

The "business empire" that was built up in Chang'an before was actually not very helpful to me, and in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, you would find that even if you have money, it will not help.

There is no need to mention Empress Lu and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, as long as one Lu Lu can take everything he has worked hard for, so mastering the army is the top priority!

And the beggars and dead soldiers that Ying Xuan recruited in Chang'an City can only be regarded as "playing house", and the real combat effectiveness is minimal.

The military service system of the Western Han Dynasty followed the Qin Dynasty, with slight changes, and was mainly based on the county conscription system, in which case if you want to master an army, you must first study this system.
