Chapter 174: The Huns

"His Majesty wants to go north to Xianbei, but do you want to recruit the Huns?"

"Of course." Liu Wei replied without thinking: "They eat ours and live in ours, and now that I want to go north to Xianbei, of course they have to contribute." There is no such thing as a free lunch. ”

Pei Mao smiled, Liu Wei's words were very vulgar, but the truth was very practical, and the simple words revealed the pride and confidence of the master. Even when the Han Dynasty reached this point, Liu Wei still did not lose the dignity of the Central Plains Dynasty. However, dignity must be maintained with strength, and I hope that Liu Wei can still show his might like in Songgao Mountain, defeat the Huns and Xianbei people, and revive the heroism of the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the Huns are in civil strife, I'm afraid they won't be able to send troops for a while."

"Civil strife among the Huns?" Liu Wei was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't you listen to you?" ”

Pei Mao was also surprised: "Your Majesty doesn't know? Didn't Yu Fuluo sue himself? The minister also sent it to the imperial court, and His Majesty should know about it. ”

Liu Wei frowned: "It may be that I have been unwell recently, and they didn't come to disturb me." Tell me what's going on. ”

Pei Mao didn't ask again, he had been in the sea for a long time, and knew that this was definitely not as simple as a momentary negligence. He told the story of the civil strife of the Huns.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jianwu, the Xiongnu were divided into two parts, the north and the south, and moved into the territory of the Han Dynasty, first in Wuyuan, then transferred to Yunzhong, and finally moved to Meiji in Hexi County. They were stationed in Beidi, Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Yanmen, Daijun, Shanggu and other places, and the number of people was more or less, tens of thousands of people, and thousands of people.

The Xiongnu lived in the territory of the Han Chinese. In peacetime, he herded horses and sheep, supported himself, and sent troops to help in wartime, and went out with the Han people to fight. The Han people provided 1.19 billion yuan to the Huns every year, and the Huns were recruited as cavalry during the war, which was mutually beneficial. At the beginning, the cooperation between the two sides was quite good, the Han frontier was peaceful, and the life of the Huns was also stable, and there was a harmonious scene.

But in recent years, it has not worked. There were internal disputes in the Han Dynasty. Requisitions are frequent. The Huns were overwhelmed, and the rebellions increased. The increase in rebellions has also hurt mutual trust. In the fourth year of Zhongping, Zhang Chun, the former Zhongshan Taishou and Yuyang people, rebelled. The imperial court sent the Huns on the expedition. The Huns were afraid of too many casualties. Rebelled and attacked and killed Shan Yuqiangqu.

After Qiangqu's death, his son Yu Fuluo was established as Shan Yu. However, those who killed Qiangqu feared retribution, so they set up the Marquis of Subu Gu as Shan Yu and raised an army to attack Yufuluo. Yu Fuluo was unable to support himself, so he had to ask the Han Dynasty for help. Therefore, now that Yu Fuluo himself is not in Meiji, he should be in Luoyang. Since Liu Wei didn't know, he didn't know where he was. With the habits of the Huns, maybe they have become a rogue, and they may even be recruited by Yuan Shao and become a mercenary.

"Then who's in Meiji now?"

"The Marquis of the Bones."

"Let him come to me." Liu Wei sneered: "Otherwise, I will destroy him immediately." ”

Pei Mao smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of the Mustu Bone can have more than 10,000 rides, is it ......?"

Liu Wei shook his head: "The soldiers are very fast, although I only brought five thousand elite horsemen, but I have dragon horses, and it is still a matter of one sentence to destroy them." ”

Pei Mao was just about to persuade again, but Pei Qian smiled, pulled Pei Mao to the city wall, pointed to the dragoon camp not far away, and said with a smile: "Father, do you know what kind of person those three thousand dragoons are?" There are at least so many fierce generals who understand the fate. ”

Pei Mao watched Pei Qian's hand go back and forth once, his eyes lit up, and then his face sank, and he slapped Pei Qian's head with a "snap", and scolded: "Vertical son, speaking in front of Lao Tzu, is it still Wu Xuanxuan?" How many, just say, what claws to stretch. ”

Pei Qian patted his head, speechless.

Pei Mao returned to Liu Wei and bowed: "Your Majesty, the old minister is not talented, so Mao recommended himself to go to Meiji." ”

Liu Wei smiled: "Pei Qing, don't bother you. I'd better go to the door on my own, save yourself a waste of time. Wenxing, you take the first step, and let the Marquis of Xubu Bone come to welcome me. ”

Pei Qian responded loudly. Pei Mao glared at him, and then said, "Come and see me later, and I will explain the situation of the Huns." ”

……

From Yanmen to the west for more than 500 miles, you will arrive at the river meander. The meandering of the river, as the name suggests, is also the meandering of the Yellow River.

The Yellow River comes from the north, makes a small bend here, turns west, and then turns south. Up to here, the water of the Yellow River is quite clear, at least not as muddy as it looks in the eastern part of the river, and certainly not as imposing. The Yellow River here is not like the Yellow River, but a bit like the Jiangnan water town in Liu Wei's memory, but the surrounding scenery looks far more atmospheric than the small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Looking at the surrounding mountains and rivers, Liu Bian's spirits lifted and he suddenly felt refreshed.

People need to be elegant, but staying in the elegant atmosphere for too long, it is inevitable that they will be infected with weakness, so modern people in the 21st century like to hike, like to ride Tibet, just want to enjoy the instinctive feeling of being away from the city and getting close to nature, open up their own state of mind, strengthen their body, and it is also a new fashion.

However, compared with Liu Wei's expedition, they are all pediatrics and not worth mentioning.

With three thousand dragoons on the expedition, rampant in the world invincible, this is more cool than any road trip.

"Your Majesty, it's so beautiful here." Cai Yan rode over on a peach blossom mare, smiling like a flower: "I really want to live here for a few years and not go back to Luoyang City." ”

Liu Wei smiled, and said in his heart, of course you think it's beautiful now, but if you're on horseback, I'm afraid you won't feel beautiful.

On this expedition, he did not ride in a chariot as usual, but rode all on horseback, and even most of his baggage was carried on horseback, and he was accompanied by no more than ten vehicles. He did this, on the one hand, to march quickly, and on the other hand, to share weal and sorrow with the soldiers and increase cohesion.

Generally speaking, not to mention the emperor, even ordinary generals lead troops to fight, which is far from the treatment of ordinary soldiers. The most famous example is the famous general Huo Quai's expedition, bringing his own cooks, the soldiers have dishes on their faces, but there is still meat in his camp that has not been eaten. Huo Qu's illness is like this, not to mention other people, and generals who can really share weal and woe with their subordinates are definitely rare.

As for the emperor, not to mention. When the Son of Heaven went on an expedition, most of the cost of the march was probably for the emperor and his entourage. Therefore, the Son of Heaven has always been a matter of burning money. Liu Wei has no money now, so he has to lead by example and start streamlining himself.

In addition to the three hundred guards around him, there are only a dozen military strategists and civil officials such as Xun You and Pei Qian, and there are only three women: the beauty Suo Du, the nurse Bian, and the talented Cai Yan. Du Shi and Bian's waited for his daily life, Cai Yan was in charge of his clerical Hanmo, all had their own tasks, and only Bian's two children really ate idle meals: five-year-old Cao Pi and just three months old Cao Zhang. In fact, Cao Pi can't be regarded as an idle meal, he already knows how to help Liu Bi grind ink and lay paper. Only Cao Zhang didn't do anything, lying in swaddling clothes all day to sell cuteness, spitting, and sleeping, but Liu Wei couldn't say anything, and shared Cao Zhang's rations, so he had to return the favor.

Liu Wei is probably the most simple son of heaven ever. However, this hardship was worth it, which greatly enhanced the cohesion of the soldiers, and everywhere Liu Wei went, every soldier looked at him with heartfelt enthusiasm, and they believed that such a son of heaven who really shared weal and woe with them would definitely be able to lead them from one victory to another.

Ten thousand people will die, and they will run rampant in the world. Liu Wei did not have 10,000 people, including everyone, he only had 5,000 people, but he was confident enough to kill the Marquis of Xubu Bone in one fell swoop. This is not only because there are more than ten people under him who understand the destiny, but also because of this cohesion of people's hearts.

"Don't patronize your own beauty, but let others know the beauty here." Liu Wei said with a smile: "Those Confucian scholars only know how to read thousands of books, but they don't know how to travel thousands of miles, in their eyes, this is a wild place, but they don't know that there is a different kind of beauty here." For example, your father, he once passed through Shuofang, and he didn't think it was beautiful, right? ”

Cai Yan nodded embarrassedly. Cai Yong came to Shuofang, although he was not really distributed, but had a secret mission, but in his heart, it was not much different from dispensing. He just wanted to finish the task as soon as possible and return to Luoyang, where would he be in the mood to enjoy these beautiful scenery. He has traveled to the rivers and lakes for more than ten years and has written a lot of poems, but none of them are about the beauty of Saibei, which is proof.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubines will pay attention, and I hope that I can leave a volume and a half of poems in the future, and I can also leave my name in the biography of the daughters."

Liu Wei laughed: "Haha, it's not just the biography of the daughters, you can leave your name in the biography of Wenyuan." ”

Cai Yan blushed, glanced at Liu Wei, and was about to say something, when he rode ahead. Cai Yan knew that there was a military situation, and hurriedly urged the horse to leave.

The knight galloped in front of Liu Wei, and did not dismount, so he bowed down on the horseback and clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, General Xu Huang has already chosen a camping site, and sent scouts to investigate the enemy situation within a hundred miles, please prepare to rest." ”

Liu Wei straightened his body, stroked the saddle bridge with his hand, and gestured with his chin: "In return to General Yokono Zhonglang, I am very pleased with the hard work of the soldiers." ”

"Willing to serve His Majesty." The knight answered, turned his horse's head, and galloped away.

Dengfeng battle, Xu Huang became famous in the first battle, Liu Wei promoted him to Yokono Zhonglang general, although he is not a general, but Xu Huang's career is already well known. Liu Wei knew that Xu Huang was cautious, so he made him a striker, but instead left Zhang Xiu, who was familiar with the situation in the border areas, in the Chinese army. At first, many people expressed puzzlement, but later, as the army advanced all the way, Xu Huang's outrageously meticulous reconnaissance allowed them to avoid any trouble along the way, and everyone, including Zhang Xiu, approved of Liu Wei's arrangement.

The camp was set up at the mouth of the river and the bonfire was lit, but Liu Wei did not enter the camp to rest, he sat cross-legged by the river, closed his eyes and meditated. The pitch-black sword was lying across his lap, silent.

……

In a large, brightly lit and smoke-filled tent, the wizard wearing a tiger skin and a tiger tooth in his mouth suddenly opened his eyes and screamed, "The true dragon has descendedβ€”bleeding all over the ground-". (To be continued......)
