Chapter Eighty-Six: Tensions (Part 1, What About Collection?) )
Liu Yu thought for a while, shook his head, sighed and said: "That Gongsun Zhan is also considered to be cunning, in order to get rid of the crime, he personally went to Luoyang to offer a large number of gold and silver utensils to Zhang Rang and other regular servants to curry favor, although Yuyang Taishou was exempted as a punishment, but the position of the minister of Liaodong is not much different from Yuyang Taishou. ”
"Yes." Liu Tai nodded, Liu Tai was very surprised that Gongsun Chan actually went to curry favor with the eunuch in person, with Gongsun Zhan's extremely resolute and self-confident surname, he was able to bend down and beg the eunuch, it was ridiculous to think about it, but when he thought of Gongsun Zhan uniting now, Liu Tai couldn't laugh.
After Gongsun Chan arrived in Liaodong, he seemed to have changed his surname, assisting Gongsun Du everywhere, and the arrogance on his original face was gone, although he couldn't see the heart of the dove occupying the magpie's nest, but Liu Tai would never believe that Gongsun Chan would let go of the heart of fighting for hegemony, and sooner or later one day he would occupy the three counties of Liaodong of Gongsun Du, but Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chan were originally their own families, but they were far away from each other, and if there was no chaos today, others could not see what ambitions Gongsun Chan had.
Gongsun Du is in Liaodong, Liu Tai will be able to clean it up sooner or later, but if he is replaced by Gongsun Zhan, then Liu Tai will have to take a lot of effort to clean it up, but Liu Tai's members of the dragon group in Liaodong continue to spread rumors that are unfavorable to Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Du ignores them, as if he believes Gongsun Chan 100%, and Liu Tai is also very helpless.
"Why did Tai'er ask about Gongsun Zhan? Could it be that Gongsun Chan is making trouble in Liaodong vassal country? Liu Yu frowned and asked out loud.
"Nothing." Liu Tai sighed, and then turned to something else and said, "I don't know why my father and uncle are so anxious to return south to Luoyang?" ”
Liu Yan and Liu Yu glanced at each other, waved their hands, shook their heads with a wry smile and said: "It's not because of Tai'er, according to the next person's report, Yuan Kui's old and young son saw that his father and Bo'an left Luoyang, and wantonly united with the officials in the court to impeach Tai'er. ”
"Oh? No wonder Lord Lu left in a hurry yesterday morning, so it was. Liu Tai nodded suddenly in realization, for Yuan Kui, the old lady, Liu Tai's teeth itched with hatred, he had nothing to trouble himself every day, and he still let himself live?
"Since this is the case, Tai will not leave his father and uncle, and Tai will send someone to send his father and uncle back to Luoyang at noon." Liu Tai nodded, and Liu Tai didn't know how to express his gratitude to Liu Yan and Liu Yu, so he could only bow and salute.
"Well, that old man and Junlang left Huacheng at noon, but Tai'er, when you conquered the Southern Xiongnu, you must not treat the Southern Xiongnu in a too bloody way, after all, the Southern Xiongnu have been subjugating the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, although they are sometimes a little disrespectful to the court, but they have not made any big mistakes." Liu Yu nodded, and persuaded with emotion, Liu Yu knew that Liu Tai had always been very iron-blooded with foreign races, and even if he persuaded himself, it was useless, but Liu Yu really didn't want to see a river of blood flowing on the frontier.
In the past two years, in order to curb the trade between the Han people and the foreign tribes in the grassland, Liu Tai has almost blocked all the border passes, and is only allowed to enter and not to go out.
"Got it, uncle, Tai Ding should pay attention." A cold light flashed in Liu Tai's eyes, although he said so, but Liu Tai was already thinking about whether to slaughter all the male animals of the Southern Xiongnu, as the saying goes, cut the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows!!
"You, hey" Liu Yu, who is old and sophisticated, how can he not see Liu Tai's perfunctory words, but now Liu Tai is in a high position, how can he manage it? For example, if Liu Tai wants to rebel and become emperor now, Luoyang will fall in less than half a month under Liu Tai's iron hooves!
This is a very realistic situation, the scholars are clear, the officials are clear, the nobles are clear, the royal family is clear, the grandmasters are clear, and even the Spirit Emperor is clear! But now Liu Tai's general trend has become a success, with 500,000 male soldiers in his hands, and almost no one can be an enemy of him.
But fortunately, Liu Tai is a clan relative of the Han family, among the clansmen, few people will think that Liu Tai, who is a genuine clan relative, wants to rebel, even if Liu Tai exploits all the rights of Liu Tai, because Liu Tai's clan, family, parents, and brothers are in Luoyang, and they are held hostage by Emperor Ling, unless Liu Tai really dares to risk the world, of course, unless Emperor Ling dies one day, the world is in chaos! That's another story.
In 181 AD, on May 15 of the third year of Han Guanghe, Liu Yan and Liu Yu left Huacheng, the political and military center of northern Xinjiang, and this farewell, Liu Tai did not know, but it was a farewell to the two "relatives" who helped him many times.
In 181 A.D., on May 18 of the third year of Han Guanghe, all the legions in the entire northern Xinjiang were mobilized by Liu Tai, almost most of the middle and upper class generals gathered in Huacheng, nearly 300,000 soldiers were transferred into Huacheng, and 600,000 logistics troops were mobilized from the military service offices in various parts of the two states.
In 181 A.D., on May 20 of the third year of Han Guanghe, a group of princes and nobles who saw that there would be a big move in northern Xinjiang left Huacheng and rushed back to various places.
Liu Tai announced in public that on May 25, he would personally lead an army of 250,000 (actually 230,000) to defeat the Southern Xiongnu who had repeatedly violated the border.
In 181 A.D., on May 21 of the third year of Han Guanghe, four days before the crusade, the atmosphere of the entire Hwaseong was unprecedentedly solemn, and almost every household hid in their new houses, or in various inns in Hwaseong.
In 181 A.D., on May 22 of the third year of Han Guanghe, Liu Tai ordered that all the exit gates in Erzhou should be blocked, and before the end of the war, they were only allowed to enter the territory of Erzhou, not leave the territory of Erzhou, and not cross the Great Wall to the prairie, otherwise they would be dealt with as the crime of collaborating with the enemy, and all foreign merchants would be monitored and supervised, and they should not leave their residences easily, otherwise they would be dealt with for the crime of treason.
In 181 A.D., the 24th day of May in the third year of Han Guanghe
Less than a day before the oath master set out, Liu Tai walked slowly outside the Tianci Marquis Mansion alone, followed by Xu Chu and Zhang Fei, the two commanders of the Jinyi Guard, and a drama Zhicai with a wine pot hanging from his waist.
Because almost all important civil and military officials knew that Liu Tai's battle was not to defeat the Southern Xiongnu, but to completely conquer the Southern Xiongnu, although the Southern Xiongnu was a tiger with teeth extracted, but it was also a tiger.
Since ancient times, there is a fable of "the Yellow River is harmful, only one set of riches", and has lived in the Hetao area with abundant vegetation for many years, so that although the tiger of the Southern Xiongnu is not as arrogant and domineering as before, the tiger looks down on the prairie, but there are also more than 100,000 people with strings in the clan, and the herdsmen under the rule are all fierce, and more than 150,000 people with strings can be recruited from them at any time, although Liu Tai nominally led 250,000 troops to crusade, which is more than twice the soldiers and horses of the Southern Xiongnu, but there is no absolute surname advantage.
