Chapter 111: Uncle and Nephew Fight
The Xiongnu, the former lord of the desert, have always been the biggest shadow hanging over the head of the Han at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty.
Since being expelled from Monan by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was chased to Mobei by Huo Qubing and was named a wolf.
Since then, the once invincible Xiongnu began to decline and split into the Northern and Southern Xiongnu, and the Southern Xiongnu were attached to the Han Dynasty.
When Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu placed the Southern Xiongnu who belonged to the Han Dynasty in the Hetao area, after hundreds of years of multiplication, with the gradual decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han people gradually lost control of the Hetao area, and the Hetao area completely became the territory of the Huns.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Yellow Turban Uprising and Dong Zhuo's dictatorship occurred, the Southern Xiongnu had internal strife, the Chinese killed Shan Yu Qiangqu, and the son Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo ascended the throne.
The participants were afraid of retaliation and did not recognize the new Shan Yu, and set up another Shan Yu, so Yu Fuluo had to go to the Han Dynasty to appeal for help. It was the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, so he had to stay in Hedong.
Later, the leader of the Southern Xiongnu Yu Fuluo was attached to Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
After Yu Fuluo's death, with the support of Cao Cao, Yu Fuluo's younger brother Hu Chuquan became the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, but was placed under house arrest by Cao Cao in Yecheng.
In order to prevent the Xiongnu from sitting on the throne again, Cao Cao dismembered the Southern Xiongnu into five divisions, and sent the Xiongnu Youxian King to the Beijian State to govern the Southern Xiongnu tribes in Jiuyuan City.
Liu Bao, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, was the son-in-law of the Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo. Originally, he was the one who had the best chance to inherit the Xiongnu Da Shan Yu, but now not only did he fail to become a single Yu, but he was also humbled by the Right Xian King.
Liu Bao had a dream, that is, to revive the majesty of the Great Xiongnu, for this reason, he took the initiative to apply to leave the fertile Hedong region, and led his people to the Hetao area, hoping to get rid of the influence of Cao Wei and silently strengthen himself.
Since Chen Tai ruled Jincheng, Liu Bao and the Hun cavalry under his command have always been an important combat force under Chen Tai, and they are ostensibly loyal to Cao Wei.
However, when Guo Huai's army was defeated and the news of Chen Tai's capture was transmitted back to Jincheng, Liu Bao realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for was coming.
According to his original plan, he was to plunder Jincheng, and then use Jincheng's armament to strengthen his army, and then lead his elite soldiers to attack the Hetao and fight a decisive battle with Qubei.
As long as he defeats Qubei, he can announce the abolition of the vain Xiongnu Shan Yu Hu Chuquan in Yecheng and become the real Xiongnu Shan Yu.
However, what made Liu Bao annoyed was that his own action had just started the first step, looting the treasury of Jincheng, and he encountered the attack of Jiang Wei of Shu Han, and his army was not Jiang Wei's opponent at all.
Liu Bao failed to completely loot Jincheng's treasury, but fortunately, Jincheng's ordnance was almost completely looted by himself. With this batch of ordnance, the level of equipment of his own troops has obviously risen to a higher level.
Now he has received a letter from Guo Huai, the assassin of Yongzhou in the Great Wei Dynasty, which said that Jiang Wei will attack Wuwei soon, and there will be a defensive void in Jincheng at that time, as long as he can take Jincheng and cut off Jiang Wei's retreat, Dawei will not only forgive himself for the crime of rebellion, but also give himself the title of marquis.
Liu Bao felt that the chaotic appearance of Yongliang now was really the result he wanted to see the most, and only in this way could he have the opportunity to compete with Qubei.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and the grassland cannot accommodate two overlords, although Qubei ostensibly controls the five Huns, but as long as he really fights with his uncle, I believe that in addition to the soldiers and horses of the Beibei headquarters, the other three will be watched on the wall.
At this time, after several years of development, Liu Bao already had 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
According to Liu Bao's plan, if Jiang Wei really sent troops to fight Wuwei, he would take the opportunity to loot the military rations in Jincheng, and then sit back and watch Shu Wei fight to the death, he would not intercept Jiang Wei anyway, as long as the military rations were in hand, he would send troops to the north and completely defeat Qubei.
Just when Liu Bao was dreaming of unifying the Xiongnu, suddenly the spies he arranged for him to report that the Xiongnu Prison State Youxian Wang was sick, and when he was hunting on horseback, he encountered a pack of wolves and frightened the horses, fell from the horse, and then fell ill.
It is said that the witch doctor on the grassland has been diagnosed and treated in many ways, but has never improved, and Qubei's condition has become serious day by day, but Qubei deliberately blocked the news, so everyone did not know the news.
The spy also said that Qubei was worried that he would not be able to recover from a serious illness, and intended to pass on the position of prisoner to Qubei's son Liu Meng after his death.
Liu Bao was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought that if he was really terminally ill, then the time would come for him to regain his position as a great man.
So he immediately ordered his soldiers and horses, prepared to lead an army of 20,000, and sent troops to Jiuyuan to attack the leaderless Qubei tribe on the grounds of visiting his uncle to go to Bei's illness.
Before leaving, his eldest son, Liu Yuan, found him and said to him:
"Abba, where are you going?"
Looking at Liu Yuan, who had a childish face, the weakest part of Liu Bao's heart immediately came out.
Liu Yuan is Liu Bao's son-in-law, but also a prodigy envied by everyone on the grassland, he followed the grassland cavalry to learn bow horses since he was a child, and at the age of eight, he mastered excellent equestrian skills and excellent archery skills.
In addition, Liu Bao also specially hired Cui You, a Confucian from the party, to teach Liu Yuan Sinology, and Liu Yuan was also very smart and studious, learning "Mao's Poems", "Jing's Yi" and "Ma's Shangshu".
Liu Yuan especially liked the two books "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period" and "The Art of War of Sun and Wu", which can be read by almost all of them, and there is no one who does not read the "Historical Records", "Book of Han" and the writings of Zhuzi.
The great Confucian Cui You often praised Liu Yuan in front of Liu Bao, saying that this son would become a great weapon in the future.
Seeing Liu Yuan coming towards him, Liu Bao affectionately picked up Liu Yuan, put him on his horse, pointed in the direction of Jiuyuan and said:
"Yuan'er, Abba is going to visit your uncle, King Youxian is humble."
"Abba, don't you like the right virtuous king to be humble? Why visit him? Liu Yuan opened a pair of innocent eyes and looked at Liu Bao.
Liu Bao was suddenly a little embarrassed, "When did Abba not like King Youxian?" Youxian is your Abba's uncle! ”
"Then Abba, why did you bring so many soldiers and horses to visit King Youxian?" Liu Yuan looked at Liu Bao with big eyes, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Forehead ......"
"Oh, I see! Abba doesn't like the Right Virtuous King, and this time he is going to compete with the Right Virtuous King! Liu Yuan suddenly guessed his father's purpose, and was immediately overjoyed.
The children of the steppe have been accustomed to wars since they were young, and even if their father wants to attack their uncle, they will not be too surprised.
"Oh...... Haha, my Yuan'er is really smart, and he will definitely be able to become a generation of heroes on the grassland like your father in the future! ”
Liu Bao lovingly touched Liu Yuan's little head and said to Liu Yuan:
"Yuan'er, Abba will definitely regain the throne that belongs to our father and son when he goes to Jiuyuan this time, and at that time, I will let the entire grassland crawl at my feet!"
After hearing this, Liu Yuan danced happily and said happily:
"Abba is amazing!"
But suddenly, Liu Yuan paused, and then turned back to Liu Bao very seriously and said:
"Abba, it occurred to me what my ambition was?"
"Oh? What is my ambition? Liu Bao asked lovingly.
Liu Yuan crossed his hands on the horse and said proudly:
"I, Liu Yuan, have both the blood of the Xiongnu royal family and the royal blood of the Han Dynasty, in the future, I will be the master of the whole world, and I will let the whole world prostrate at my feet!"
