Zhao Hanzhang Chen had 50,000 soldiers 80 miles outside Pingyang City, and Beigong Chun led 20,000 troops to stand between Shangdang and Pingyang, guarding Shile;

Zhao Erlang and Chen Wu each led 20,000 soldiers and horses in various counties to exterminate bandits, collect the displaced people, and at the same time prepare to respond to Zhao Hanzhang at any time.

And Fu Yi also squatted in Fengyi County with 20,000 soldiers and horses, guarding the western Xianbei to the south.

Even Zhang Liang, who was in Xiliang, began to order troops to move closer to Chang'an in order to deal with Fu Yi.

Liu Yuan, who was in the Pingyang Palace, saw that the Great Jin had mobilized so many soldiers and horses, and he couldn't believe that it was just to help Liu Kun contain himself.

Wang Siniang asked Zhao Hanzhang why he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, and Liu Yuan was also worried that Zhao Hanzhang would take advantage of the victory to pursue and enter Pingyang.

So he issued five military orders in a row, asking Liu Cong to quickly bring the army back.

Liu Yuan claimed to have an army of 100,000 to guard Pingyang City, but only he and a few generals of the Han State knew that there were no 100,000 troops in the city.

Zhao Hanzhang needed to be on guard, but Beigong Chun was even more terrifying, so Liu Qin led an army of 80,000 to keep an eye on Beigong Chun.

Liu Kun guarded Jinyang, this place has always been in the Han country, it is a thorn in Liu Yuan's eye, a nail in the flesh, so when he has the opportunity, he will hand over the most important team to Liu Cong to take to attack Jinyang.

As for the rest of the armies, they were in the hands of the chiefs of the tribes.

Liu Yuan, who was guessed by Zhao Hanzhang to be eating big fish and meat, was standing on the city wall and looking into the distance at this time, where the smoke was curling, which made Liu Yuan feel very bad.

He turned and went back to the palace.

Seeing that his father's face was not good, the crown prince Liu He asked, "Is Father worried about Zhao Hanzhang outside the city?" ”

Liu Yuan sighed and said: "Zhao Hanzhang's dispatch of troops is unavoidable, there is nothing to worry about, we didn't occupy a few cities over there, because the terrain is unfavorable, the people in those cities have almost fled, and all she got is a few empty cities." I am concerned that future support from the Ministries will be delayed. ”

"If Pingyang is attacked in the future, and they don't support it like this, will my Han family still be safe and sound?"

Liu He said: "Isn't there still General Shi?" He is in the party, as long as Zhao Hanzhang dares to attack, his father will let Shi Le send troops, can't our 200,000 army beat Zhao Hanzhang's 100,000 people? ”

They only claim to be 200,000, and besides, is Shi Le really willing to use his family funds to fight for the Han Kingdom?

Before he and Liu Cong fought with each other and went to the party, he grabbed it first, and Liu Cong was resentful about it.

But he could not express these worries, or they would reach the ears of Shiler, and they would be ironclad evidence that he did not trust him.

Liu Yuan wanted to wave his hand to let the prince step down, but thinking that he was not too young, he endured it again and sent someone to call a few more important ministers to discuss the matter, "When will Xuan Ming return to Pingyang?" ”

Liu Cong, the word Xuanming.

Da Sima Liu Yang immediately said: "They are in a hurry all the way, and they should be able to return to Pingyang tomorrow afternoon." ”

Liu Yuan: "I wonder if Zhao Hanzhang will send troops to attack at night?" ”

Taifu Liu said happily: "The minister thinks that Zhao Hanzhang's move is only to deter, and has no intention of attacking, she has only set up camp for the past two days, and she has not even done a little offensive posture." ”

Liu Yang said: "It is precisely because of this that we should be more careful, Zhao Hanzhang used soldiers to use tricks, but do you know that this is not her plan to confuse the enemy?" ”

"That's right," Liu Yuan was also worried that Zhao Hanzhang was paralyzing them, and then took the opportunity to attack Pingyang, "This person is scheming, we have to be careful." ”

Liu Yang proposed, "Why don't Your Majesty issue another edict and order Shi Le to lead troops to help?" ”

Liu Yannian, the big Sikong on the side, said: "It's not proper, Beigong Chun is now stationed between Pingyang and Shangdang, and Shi Le is afraid that he will be stopped before he arrives in Pingyang." ”

Liu Yang: "It's not the only way to go from Shangdang to Pingyang, it's the detour to the north." ”

It was the territory of the Huyan Ministry, and the crown prince Liu He was not happy, and immediately said: "It's not proper, what if Shi Le passes by and takes advantage of the situation to loot our city?" ”

The main reason is that he is afraid that Shi Le will pass by and replace him, originally the Shangdang was Wang Mi's territory, Wang Mi was Liu Yuan's general, he died, and the Shangdang should have been received by Liu Yuan.

Liu He said: "Shile was born as a slave, humble and ignorant of etiquette, I'm afraid he won't keep his promise, and my father must not believe him." ”

Liu Yuan said angrily: "Don't say anything like this, he has been a slave, but he was also a prince of Qianhu before, it is better to look at him now that he is my general, just now you said that he can deter Zhao Hanzhang, what's the matter, now that he wants to pass through the territory of your mother's family, he can't believe it?" ”

Liu He lowered his head, but his face was still a little unconvinced.

Liu Yannian sighed and said: "Your Majesty treats General Shi preferentially, and the other tribes are not angry, so they have not come to support for a long time." ”

Liu Yuan slapped the table angrily and said, "Do I need their consent to treat my own generals?" Now that the capital is facing a strong enemy, they are still fighting because of such details, and the Han State has only been established for a few years, so are they going to follow in the footsteps of the Jin Kingdom? ”

Liu Yang frowned slightly, although he didn't agree with some of Liu Yannian's views, he still said: "Why does Your Majesty want to make enemies with various tribes because of people like Shi Le?" He was nothing but a beard, and he was still a slave. ”

Liu Yuan pursued the Han family and considered himself Liu Chan's heir, but he was a Huns, and the people around him were all Huns.

Liu Huanhuan, Liu Yang, Liu Yannian and other ministers were all Huns with Han surnames.

In the Xiongnu country, they looked down on the Han people and the Qianhu, and in their hearts, the Qianhu were more humble than the Han people, so they looked down on Shile and the other Qianhu from the heart.

And Shile is not only a cara, he is also a slave, and everyone looks down on him even more.

No one understood why Liu Yuan was so courteous to Shi Le, just as they didn't understand why Liu Yuan admired Han Zhi.

They are the Huns, so they should govern the country according to the methods of the Huns, except for the Huns, everyone else is an inferior race.

The Han Chinese and the Qianghu were only destined to be slaves for them to carry shoes.

This disapproval of the mind separates them with a wall, thicker than a wall.

Liu Yuan was half angry with them, his heart was dull and dull, and finally he became angry, and directly ordered all the subordinates to come to Pingyang Qinwang, if anyone didn't come, they would bear the consequences!

Liu Yuan drove everyone out, leaving only his youngest son, Liu Yi.

Liu Yi was the son of Empress Shan, he was born late, so he had been educated by his father in Hanzhi, and he himself was more inclined to Hanzhi.

At the same time, the little prince still retains his innocence and innocence, so after helping his father sit on the dragon bed, he asked, "Why didn't Father make peace with Zhao Hanzhang first?" ”

Liu Yuan still had a headache, so he didn't react for a while, and asked rhetorically, "What?" ”

Liu Yi explained: "Since Father doesn't feel sorry for the lost city, and is afraid that she will attack Pingyang, why don't you negotiate peace with her first?" Maybe we can talk about it? ”

Who said that he didn't feel distressed, although there were few people in those cities, but it was difficult to enter, how could he not feel distressed?

But facing the innocent face of his youngest son, Liu Yuan sighed, waved his hand and said, "Our relationship with the Jin Kingdom is endless, how can it be so easy to negotiate peace?" ”

"How can it be that you don't die? Father used to be a Jin minister, and he also studied in Luoyang, and the relationship with Jin is more kind, but the son thinks that he can try to negotiate peace first, and it would be best if he could end this battle with Zhao Hanzhang with kind words. ”

Liu Yuan had a headache and said, "I know, you let me think about it." ”

His heart hurts now, his head hurts, and he just wants to be alone.

Liu Yi glanced at his tired father, pursed his lips, and responded.

As soon as he retreated, he looked in the direction of the outside of the city, and then gritted his teeth and ran out of the city with his own soldiers, he wanted to find Zhao Hanzhang and personally persuade her to withdraw from the army!
