Chapter Ninety-Four: Liu Yuan
"General, it's almost time~"
Touching Chen Qingzhi, who was lying on the hillside and resting with his clothes, Xie Xuan exhaled softly.
"Almost?"
In fact, Chen Qingzhi woke up the moment Xie Xuan came, but he knew that it was impossible for him to be assassinated in the midst of the army, so he was very tired and still closed his eyes until Xie Xuan's light touch.
"Yes, General, it's almost. It is estimated that the last general is now at the junction of Yin Shi and Mao Shi. It's almost getting clear. β
Xie Xuan had almost not slept for almost a day, he was young and energetic, and he took the initiative to take on the night guarding, but now it seems that he is still a little sleepy when a Hatche pops up from time to time.
"Then, go and wake up the soldiers and get ready for battle!"
Looking at the angle of the moon slanting to the west overhead, Chen Qingzhi calculated that the time was almost the same, and then told Xie Xuan to let him inform the whole army.
"ε~"
The look of excitement in his eyes flashed, and Xie Xuan was immediately shocked when he heard that he was going to kill the enemy again, and he felt like he was resurrected with full blood on the spot.
β¦β¦
After tightening the white cloak that had been dyed red behind his back, tearing a strip of cloth and tying the spear in his hand, Chen Qingzhi looked at the army that had prepared their whole body armor and sat firmly on the horse, and shouted softly: "The whole army follows the general, and slowly increases the speed of the horse in a conical formation to attack the enemy camp!" β
"Choking~"
The soldiers slapped the armor on their bodies with the weapons in their hands, and made a sound, indicating that they knew~
"Well, at this moment!"
Chen Qingzhi, who took the lead, followed closely behind Xie Shi, Xie Xuan's second uncle and nephew, and Meng Li allocated 500 wolf cavalry to him, and after that, it was the new army brigade that suffered a small loss after leaving the fortress.
β¦β¦
For the nobles of the Northern Xiongnu, in addition to the war, they enjoyed the erosive life that came from the Han people, and now the Zuoxian King of the Northern Xiongnu who has no war is also a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on the fifth day. The rest of the day, he and his concubines drank and danced.
"What's going on?"
Liu Yuan, who was sleeping alone, faintly felt a large number of horses' hooves vibrating in his sleep, and then turned over and sat up. After shaking his head to determine whether he was dreaming, he immediately wrapped a fur jacket and ran out, lying on the ground and preparing to ask for the size of the horse's hooves and the echo range dΓΉ to confirm the specific situation of the incoming army, just in case!
In the Zuoxian Wang's department, and even the entire Northern Xiongnu Liu Yuan was an unsociable being. As the son of King Zuoxian, he has been able to keep up with nutrition since he was a child, creating a strong physique. It stands to reason that this sturdy physique is a well-known warrior in the Northern Huns. But this Liu Yuan actually liked to read Hanshu and not practice martial arts since he was a child, so that the body of a good warrior did not have the corresponding strength of that body. He doesn't love wine, doesn't love meat, doesn't love beauty, and reads the classics purchased from the Han people wholeheartedly and tirelessly reads and learns, if he wasn't still the son of Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, he would have been abandoned by everyone to the corner of the corner.
And today, he turned off the lights early and fell asleep, but he felt the slight shaking of the wooden board under him on the hard bed, and his vigilance has never been put down from beginning to end, unlike the ordinary Hun nobles, except for being conscripted and fighting when he entered the state, he was always in the state, and he was a Hun general who could not be ignored.
If Meng Li was here, he would be surprised, and he would do whatever it took to kill this young man. Liu Yuan, the founding monarch of the Later Han Dynasty in the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, has admired Sinology since he was a child, and he can endure but not lose his decisiveness. With greater ambitions, he first survived his father Liu Bao and then took over his father's subordinates, and then continued to obey the powerful Jin Kingdom. But after the rebellion of the Eight Kings, seeing the weakness of the Han court, he immediately set himself up as the king, divided one side, and then became the emperor. In one life, I have to say that he is a rare capable person among aliens! For anyone, a potential enemy is to be nipminally eliminated or the best~
"Is this an army marching? About 10,000 people, but where did the tribe with 10,000 cavalry come from around here? β
Listen to the sound and distinguish the position, and the military people in ancient times can easily judge the number of enemies and the distance from their home from the echo and dullness that come from the low.
"Isn't it? Han Army! β
Liu Yuan, who was suddenly startled by his own thoughts, thought about this idea carefully.
"Back then, what Yannan Marquis said to form a new army to attack the Northern Expedition of my Great Huns, and then it seems that their emperor supported him a lot of resources to let him build a new army for the Northern Expedition, according to the Han people's idea that credibility and reputation are better than a qiΔ, this year's spring can be regarded as an army that has been trained for three years can already be used, isn't it really the Han army!"
He has been reading Chinese books and learning Chinese since he was a child, and he is really good at resourcefulness, if he is taught by a famous teacher, I am afraid that he will be another amazing talent~
"Han Army, Han Army~"
Liu Yuan, who had been in the same place twice, was thinking about whether to report the situation to his father Liu Bao, and now his position in the tribe was very embarrassing. As the son of King Zuoxian, he doesn't have much military power, and he doesn't usually have the support of ministers, and now if the Han army doesn't attack and disturbs the rest of the army, he really understands that the angry nobles will let him have the slightest chance to inherit again. But if you don't report it on the contrary, if it is really a big attack by the Han army, then the sleeping tribe will definitely be destroyed in an instant, and what he wants will not appear again, this is really difficult to advance and retreat!
"That's it, for the sake of Immortality, for the sake of the Great Huns, even if you lose an inheritance, what can you do!"
Liu Yuan, who had been spinning around for a long time, stepped onto the mount chained to the tent and went straight to the residence of his father, King Zuo Xian.
"Stop! This is the residence of King Zuoxian. β
The guards didn't shout loudly when they looked at Liu Yuan, who was galloping quickly, but just whispered softly. That's not because the guards recognize Liu Yuan, but because this is the camp of King Zuoxian of the Northern Huns, no one will be stupid enough to blatantly ride a horse to 'commit a crime'~
"ε΅~, this will be Liu Yuan, and my father can be in the tent?"
Liu Yuan, who slowed down his horse, shouted in a low voice at night.
"It turned out to be Lord Liu, and King Zuo Xian was indeed in the tent."
Before Liu Yuan spoke, he had already approached the front of the guard, and the guard heard this voice, coupled with this familiar figure, he could still confirm that this was indeed one of the sons of their Zuo Xian King.
"I ask to see my father, hurry up and go to Tongyu!"
Although Liu Yuan, who was in a hurry, couldn't wait to report to Liu Bao about the possible attack of the Han army, as a son and a courtier, it was impossible to cross the line.
"This, Lord Liu, um~"
The guards seemed to want to say something, but when they tried to open their mouths, they closed their mouths, as if they felt that something was wrong with them.
"What's the matter, hurry up and give Ben a gift!"
In the past, if Liu Yuan, who was calm, had encountered such a situation, he must have known about his father's bad habit of having no daughters and not being happy, but now that the disaster may be destroyed at hand, how can he calm down and think about it carefully. All he could think about was how to explain the reason to his father, Liu Bao, and ask him to quickly blow the king's horn and gather a large army to meet the enemy.
"This, Lord Liu, it's not that the villains don't understand, it's just this ......"
The guards are also embarrassed, they can't afford to offend the left and right, although they are the personal soldiers of King Zuo Xian, and Liu Yuan, the unsocial son, is not very liked by King Zuo Xian, but they are a nobleman, and it is a matter of minutes to pinch themselves to death.
"Bastard! Just what! Hurry up and tell Ben about it! β
Liu Yuan, who was originally worried about how to explain his reasons to his father, who did not understand literature and ink, heard that this guard still did not report to him, and suddenly a boundless anger surged into his heart. If he hadn't been deeply influenced by Han culture, he was afraid that according to the aristocratic habit of the Xiongnu nobles who didn't take the lives of their subordinates seriously, it would be for nothing to draw a knife and kill him.
"Lord Liu, you know, King Zuoxian, um~, it's early morning again~"
The guards looked at Liu Yuan, who was angry, and said something tremblingly, but these ordinary soldiers at the bottom did not dare to provoke these nobles in the slightest, for fear that they would cut off their heads and kick them as balls if they were not clear.
"Whew~, Whew~"
Liu Yuan, who took two deep breaths to calm down his anger, slowly calmed down, just now he was purely anxious about the future of this tribe, but now that he calmed down, he also thought of the reason why the guards did not give a report. Which guard would dare to go in and take a look? I'm afraid that if the noise outside the door is a little louder, whoever thinks the master may lose his head, not to mention that the purpose is to wake up King Zuo Xian, who has been 'tired' for most of the night?
Thinking about it this way, the anger just now went down, and he was deeply influenced by Han culture, and he compared his heart to his heart, even if he didn't dare to go through it at this hour, but it was urgent!
"Get out of the way!"
As soon as he knocked the two guards away, Liu Yuan walked straight towards the largest tent.
And the two guards also glanced at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this method seems to be the best, at most, King Zuo Xian woke up and scolded himself for two words of incompetence, but he can always save his life, right?
"Father, son-in-law Liu Yuan has an urgent matter~"
Standing outside the big tent, Liu Yuan took a breath and shouted loudly.
Looking at the big tent that had not moved for a long time, Liu Yuan raised his voice again and wanted to shout, after all, he was tired for most of the night, and it was not easy to wake up!
"Liu Yuan, what is the name of the ghost outside the king's tent if he doesn't sleep at night!"
I could only hear the sound of dressing in the tent accompanied by the voice of the woman's whispering, and the gloomy and angry voice of Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, came out.
