Pan Feng shouted loudly, threw the head of the Huns in his hand to the guards of the Loulan Palace, rushed out of the cracks in the human gap while they were dodging, came to the second prince, grabbed him by the neck and dragged him back into the encirclement. These tricks are like a rabbit falling up, extremely fast, and before everyone can react, the second prince of Loulan has become Li You's captive.

killed the Xiongnu envoy first, cut off the Xiongnu's deterrence to Loulan, made Loulan's position waver, and then took the opportunity to capture a Loulan dignitary as a hostage, this is the countermeasure that Li You discussed with Chen Qingzhi last night! This hand was learned from the two Han envoys of Ban Chao and Fu Jiezi in later generations, and I didn't expect it to be so easy to succeed.

Fu Jiezi was ordered by the general Huo Guang to envoy to Loulan, but the king of Loulan at that time, Angui, was subject to the Xiongnu as now, trying to intercept and kill the envoys of the Han Dynasty; Fu Jiezi first lured the king of Loulan to have a secret conversation with him with gold and silver treasures, and then assassinated the king of Loulan on the occasion of the secret conversation and warned the minister of Loulan, "The king of Loulan is guilty of the Han Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven sent me to kill him, and the crown prince who stayed in the Han Dynasty as a hostage should be reappointed as the king." As soon as the Han army arrived, don't act rashly, as soon as you make a move, your country will be wiped out! ”

Later, Fu Jiezi established the Tu family as the king, and changed the name of his country to Shanshan; He himself returned to Beijing with the head of King An of Loulan to hand over the decree, and hung his head on the tower north of Chang'an to deter the pig kingdom in the Western Regions, and Fu Jiezi was also named the Marquis of Yiyang for his merits.

A hundred years later, Ban Chao also repeated the legend of Fu Jiezi again, Ban Chao made many meritorious contributions from Ronghou, and was deeply appreciated by Dou Gu, the commander of Fengche, and led Dou Gu's order to send 36 followers to Shanshanguo; And the king of Shanshan at that time made the mistake of his ancestors again, and once again he was not clear with the Huns.

After Ban Chao learned about the situation, he immediately summoned the thirty-six warriors and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't be a tiger." The plan of the present day is only to attack the captives by fire by night, so that they do not know how much I have, and they will be greatly shaken, and they will be destroyed. ”

Then he led these 36 warriors to attack the Xiongnu envoy station with fire, Ban Chao personally killed three Huns, his subordinates also killed more than 30 people, and the rest of the Huns were buried in the fire. King Shanshan was greatly surprised when he learned about it, and immediately expressed his willingness to join the imperial court and sent his prince to the imperial court as a hostage. Ban Chao was also rewarded by Dou Gu and Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, and left a good story of "not entering the tiger's den to get the tiger".

Li You knew that a small country like Loulan would never dare to provoke a strong country like the Han Dynasty if there was no Huns behind him to help them! Therefore, as soon as he made a move, he first imitated Ban Chao and killed the Xiongnu envoy, and then grabbed the second prince of Loulan as a hostage, so that the king of Loulan did not dare to besiege them, and took the initiative into his own hands.

"What do you mean by that? My king kindly invited your envoy to the banquet, but your envoy humiliated us so much, isn't there some misunderstanding? Prime Minister Loulan (in fact, according to the records of the history books, this position should be the auxiliary marquis) also released two hard words at the beginning, but in the end, it was not without pleading, "Your envoy, please return the second prince, and everything else is negotiable!" ”

He knew that King Loulan had always favored the second prince, and he had the intention of letting the second prince succeed to the throne after his death, but the eldest prince's mother family was powerful and difficult to change for a while; On the throne, King Loulan showed concern on his face, and the eldest prince also made a nervous look, but the smile on the corner of his mouth betrayed his heart; The ministers under the throne were also divided into two groups, and it seemed that the farce of these two princes to seize the throne had been going on for a long time.

Seeing this, Li You was even more relieved, and immediately said with a smile, "What do you mean?" I kindly invite the second prince to go to Chang'an to study and learn the principles of governing the country! My Han country is rich and strong, and it is far superior to other countries in governing the country, and this kind of good thing cannot be asked for by the prince of the country! Presumably, when the second prince returns from Chang'an in the future, he will be able to govern Loulan more prosperously and strongly! ”

As soon as these words came out, the eldest prince was both surprised and delighted, and was surprised that if the second prince had the support of the Han Dynasty, his future throne might not be guaranteed; And the joy is that the road to Chang'an is long and dangerous, maybe the second prince will not be able to come back this time, isn't the position of the king of Loulan his own bag?

"Thank you for your kindness, it's just that the second prince is still young and hasn't been far away, I'm afraid I have to prepare for a while before I can go to Chang'an!" King Loulan felt sorry for his beloved son, and began to think of a plan to delay the army, "Besides, isn't your envoy going to the Western Regions Pig Country?" Why don't you let the second prince stay in Loulan first, and then pick him up and go to Chang'an when the envoy returns in the future! ”

"Why prepare? There is nothing in my mission, and we will be able to meet the needs of the second prince all the way! "What are you kidding, how can you put back the hostages that are all in your hands?" My Han sages have a saying, called 'It is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles', and I just took the opportunity to go to the Western Regions to teach the second prince the way of government, but it is much better than studying in the house! Besides, when I return to Chang'an, I don't have to pass by Loulan again; If you leave the second prince, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it when the time comes? ”

The two sides fought for several rounds, but Li You never let go, and the palace guards of Loulan Kingdom could not find a chance under Pan Feng; In order to save his beloved son's life, King Loulan had no choice but to comply with Li You's wishes, and prepared mounts and guards for the second prince to take away.

Before leaving, Li You did not forget to extort a supply from Loulan on the westward journey, and took the second prince out of Loulan in the afternoon of the same day and went in the direction of Yanqi Kingdom in the northwest.

"Envoy, King Loulan's pursuers have retreated if they can't find a suitable opportunity!" After walking a hundred miles, Chen Qing came to report before.

"Hard work General Ziyun!" With the strength of Loulan Kingdom, it is almost impossible to find a flaw under Chen Qingzhi, Li You is not surprised at all, "It's not too early now, let Tangyi's father find a place to set up camp!" ”

Along the way, Li You finally had time to talk to the second prince of Loulan, "Dare to ask the name of the second prince?" Are you used to it along the way? ”

"This prince Hugh Mi pack." The second prince said angrily.

"The envoy of your country also knows a little bit about the affairs in your country." Li You didn't care, you have fallen into my hands, what are you arrogant! "If after King Loulan returns to heaven, the second prince will not say that he will succeed to the throne, I'm afraid it's hard to say whether he can even save his life!"

The second prince lowered his face when he heard this, his mother was from a bad background, and the power in the court was far worse than that of the eldest prince!

"But don't worry, the second prince, with the support of my big man, if the second prince wants to succeed to the throne, it's just a matter of words!" Li You continued, bringing him back to Chang'an is also a great credit.
