Chapter 20: Hu Kou Helan

Chang'an City is quite lively.

The people in the harem also knew that Chang'an was going to move to the clans of the old nobles of the six countries of Kanto, as well as the local celebrities and wealthy merchants, to enrich Guanzhong. In the past few days, the ladies and beauties in the palaces don't seem to have seen Emperor Gao Liu Bang, because he is too busy, although he is handed over to Prime Minister Xiao He to deal with, but he is all thinking about this incident.

Yesterday, I saw the Liuhou Zifang, and the ovary said, "The husband has the name of the high world, and he must be tired of the customs", although this sentence quotes the fierce debate between the ministers in the court and the ministers when King Wuling of Zhao implemented Hufu cavalry shooting, but it can be used very well in the matter of Liu Bang's migration, and there are some bad discussions, but he is very firm as King Wuling.

Every day during the day, he worked hard in the front hall of Weiyang Palace, reviewing all the difficult things that could be reported, making his own decisions, wielding his pen or putting it on hold, and he was sitting in the court and commanding. It was almost time to wait for the ministers to report on the affairs of the past few days at night, and Emperor Gao Liu Bang went back and stayed in the Yuzao Palace for the past few days. Back to the Yuzao Palace can no longer lift his eyes, fall asleep, the sound of snoring is very loud, Mrs. Qi knows that he is very tired these days, so every night will prepare hot foot washing water, the eunuchs waited for the dozing and stood in place and napped, the palace maids dozed off, while Mrs. Qi was not paying attention to also nap, asked another person to watch, and then changed to another person to nap, just waiting for the emperor to return. It was easy to come back, Mrs. Qi prepared hot water and asked the emperor to wash it, Liu Bang dragged his tired body and couldn't even speak, he fell asleep on the couch with his eyes drooping, and he couldn't wake up, so Mrs. Qi didn't force him, so she had to ask someone to bring the hot water down, and took off his boots and covered the quilt for the emperor. In the past few days, the emperor came here, but he didn't say a word to himself, and when he came back, he didn't say anything about the court, he just kept walking towards the couch and then fell asleep.

The next day, while Liu Bangfang was having breakfast, a eunuch came in to report that Pegasus, the guard general on the northern border, had come to see the emperor. As soon as he heard the news, Liu Bang sighed in his heart, it is not a good thing to report on the border, Linhu in the north, is it not the invasion of the Huns, or the invasion of Lou Fu? Liu Bang didn't dare to think about it anymore, immediately sipped and vomited, got up and left the hall, but along the way he thought that it could not be the Huns who invaded, and he had just married him, how could he go south to harass Chang'an so quickly, could it be that Liu Lu's identity was leaked? After all, I couldn't guess why, so I quickened my pace and came to the front hall.

It was Guo Ting, the border guard, who was dressed in military uniform, standing in the center of the front hall with a copper helmet on his head and waiting. Seeing Liu Bang come in, he immediately saluted, Liu Bang was in a hurry, and hurriedly waved his hand to excuse him and asked him to say what happened, Liu Bang sat on the high platform with a nervous face, and his nerves were tense for a moment and did not dare to relax. Guo Ting didn't say a word, 'poof-' knelt on the ground on one leg with a voice, and said violently, "Your Majesty, please condemn the micro-ministers, Lou annoys Kou Helan, plunders thousands of people, and the ministers lead the team from Yulin, it's too late." I'm afraid that Lou Annoyance bypassed Yulin and went north to invade Helan first. ”

Liu Bang sighed in his heart, and sure enough, something happened. His face was immediately covered with dark clouds, and his eyes swelled with anger, and he slapped a few cases in front of him with one hand, and scolded angrily, "Xiao Xiaolou is annoying, and he has repeatedly bullied me Hanmin." Gritting his teeth, he said, "If you don't kill the troubles, how can my Han be stable?" ”

Guo Ting glanced at the emperor cautiously, then bowed his head again, not daring to say a word.

"Lou is annoying, I don't have that much ability to dare to compete with my Han Court, unless I am provoked by the Huns......" Before he finished speaking, another eunuch came in and walked in front of Liu Bang with a bamboo slip in his hand, and handed the bamboo slip to Liu Bang. Bang-' opened the bamboo slip with a sound: Lou Fu's army retreated to Helan and was stationed here, and there was no intention of leaving. Liu Bang was even more angry, and threw the bamboo slip on the threshold of the palace gate with a 'pop-', and stood up from the mat angrily, pointing at the eunuch who reported with his index finger hatefully, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

When Guo Ting heard it, he understood that Lou Fu saw the rescuers of the Han Dynasty coming, so he left, and when Guo Ting returned to Chang'an, he immediately occupied Helan. Guo Ting surrendered his hand to invite troops again, and Zhuang said with pride and majesty, "Your Majesty, please order the soldiers to be assembled to rescue Helan, and send a capable general to garrison Helan to guard against Lou Fu and White Aries." ”

Liu Bang's face was full of anger, and he shook the wide sleeves of the spacious Chu Imperial Suit and said, "Guo Ting listens to the order, I will immediately order troops for you to go north to Helan for rescue, and reward five hundred gold after success." ”

Guo Ting was very powerful and general-like, "The minister takes the order." And he hurried out.

Liu Bang was hit hard by this sudden blow, and suddenly coughed a few times, which caused the old arrow wound to ache faintly, and a eunuch hurriedly supported him on the mat and asked the palace maid to pass the imperial doctor, but Liu Bang refused. After thinking about it, we always have to regard Lou Fu's attack on Helan as a ghost behind the Huns, Lou Fu and Bai Yang are the two southern tribes surrendered by the Huns, each with a king, and the King of Lou Fu and the King of Aries are both obedient to the Huns. Lou Fu and Aries will never dare to attack the Han easily, although Han Ting is not the opponent of the Huns now, but it will not be so weak that even a small Lou Fu is afraid, if he is afraid of Lou Fu, Liu Bang is not Liu Bang.

If the purpose of Lou Fu Aries is to seize the land, even if the land is successfully seized, then Mao Dun will do everything possible to come over and belong to himself, so it is unnecessary for them to seize the land. So this time Lou Fu was actually stationed in Helan in a grand manner, and it was clear that he wanted Helan to be a piece of land, so it was also secretly instructed by the Huns, if it wasn't for the instructions of the Huns, how could Lou Fu be stationed in Helan without scruples, aren't you afraid of the Han Court sending troops? Even if they were afraid, they could push on the Xiongnu, wipe themselves off, and make a non-voluntary appearance to show the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Everything is very clear, it must be the Huns, but after all, I can't guess why.

Liu Bang instructed the eunuchs to summon Zhou Bo to immediately summon the baby, and then the two generals were ordered to come and go to the military field with the emperor. Along the way, Liu Bang told Jiang Guan about Guo Ting's report and the eunuch's report one by one, and Zhou Bo Guan Ying rushed to ask to go to Helan to quell the rebellion, but Liu Bang refused, saying that Xiaoxiaolou is not worth using the most outstanding general of the Han Dynasty to quell the rebellion, just a small general, can you not lose the face of the Han Dynasty, kill chickens with a knife?

Although most of the soldiers were demobilized and returned to the peasants, for the sake of the security and potential danger of the capital, Liu Bang still retained a part of the army to guard against possible turmoil at any time, and he didn't expect to use it today. Hurriedly came to the point field, and when the soldiers heard the news, they had already held halberds and formed a regular phalanx, standing majestically under the point of the soldiers and waiting for the emperor. Liu Bang went up to the military platform and stood under the banner with the word "Han" written on it, the flag flew in the wind, as if urging Liu Bang to hurry up and go out to fight, and the soldiers held halberds and shouted "Long live, long live."

Liu Bang raised his hand slightly to signal the soldiers to be quiet, and then angrily described the situation in Helan, the soldiers were all gearing up, and their morale increased greatly, and they all said that they had not fought for a long time, and they were all old if they stayed in the treasure knife. Liu Bang handed over the tiger talisman to Zhou Bo so that he could dispatch the army, and Zhou Bo raised the tiger talisman in his hand high to order the three armies, and the soldiers of the three armies shouted 'Long live, long live, long live'. On behalf of the emperor, Guan Ying appointed 3,000 soldiers, all of whom were sturdy elites, ready to go to the Helan area to rescue.

Guo Ting, who was waiting for the order next to him, handed over the three thousand soldiers to Guo Ting's command, Zhou Bo and Guo Ting jointly raised the tiger talisman in their hands and combined it into a whole, and then divided it into two halves and held it separately, signaling the soldiers to obey Guo Ting, Zhou Bo ordered the three thousand soldiers, "Helan is uneven, and I vow not to return it." The soldier responded, "Crusade against Lou Fu, pacify Helan, long live the emperor-".

Helan Li Chang'an is not far away, trotting ten hours away, Guo Ting then said goodbye to the emperor and hurried to lead the army.
