Chapter 8: Han Xin, Luoling to the north
Everyone who hurriedly entered the palace had a solemn look on their faces, and most of them didn't know what was going on, and they were able to make Liu Bang so aggressive.
actually summoned almost all the Chehou in Chang'an City into the palace.
Fan Xu walked quickly to Zhang Liang's side and asked in a low voice, "Liuhou, what do you say is wrong?"
You must know that King Yan rebelled before there was no such big movement, could it be that the most powerful King Huainan rebelled? ”
Since Liu Bang let go of the idea of changing the prince, because of the identity of Liu Bang's brother-in-law, Fan Xu's status has risen.
Zhang Liang said softly: "It's definitely not a rebellion against Yingbu, just now Liang saw that the general Han Xin and Hou Luocai of Anyang were also here, and just one Yingbu didn't have such a big face." ”
Fan was startled, and Han Xin was called.
Since the defeat of Xiang Yu and the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin has never led troops again, and has been staying at home, annotating the ancient art of war, and preparing to write his own "Huaiyin Art of War".
Everyone tacitly understood this situation, and no one said anything.
Han Xin should have reached the point where there was no seal and no reward, but he took the initiative to resign from the throne, and the husband and wife took a total of 40,000 marquis titles.
If he makes another meritorious service, the number of his households will definitely not be able to be added, and 30,000 households will go up, and when Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei sealed 100,000 households in Luoyang, he is basically a bit of a courtier.
Either add a seal to Luo Cai, or add a seal to Han Xin's child, and the child is a marquis, then the power is really too great.
The ministers rushed in, and saw Liu Bang and Luo Yi sitting upright, so they all knelt upright according to their respective seats, this kind of occasion naturally no one dared to come too late, and soon the door of the temple closed with a creaking sound.
Liu Bang nodded at Luo Yi, and Luo Yi said directly: "Gentlemen, Your Majesty has summoned you here this time because the Huns have entered the Kou. ”
Luo Yi's words not only failed to solve everyone's doubts, but made everyone even more puzzled, is it necessary for a mere Hun to gather so many people?
Luo Yi said with a solemn face: "All the tribes of the Hu people in the north have been unified by the Xiongnu, and the current Xiongnu are a strong enemy with hundreds of thousands of people who draw bows, and it is by no means the appearance that the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Yan saw at the beginning. ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire palace was silent in an instant, and everyone was a little unable to come back to their senses, and the Hu people could also be unified?
Those tribes who live by water and grass have different languages and customs, there is no Zhou etiquette formulated by King Su, there is no elegant language that passes through the countries, and there is no mutual recognition between the Xia, how can they be unified?
What kind of hero can do this?
But no matter how many doubts there are, they can only be suppressed in their hearts, because this news is too terrifying, and Zhuxia has once again encountered the threat of barbarians!
Since the princes of Qi Huan and Jiuhe, and the world of Kuang, although there have been wars between the five kingdoms of Qi, Jin, Chu, Qin, and Luo, they have been in step with each other in steadily attacking barbarians.
The kingdoms of Zhuxia have basically perished in the hands of their own people, and few of them have been destroyed by the barbarians.
In the early years of Xuangong, the kind of barbarian counteroffensive that almost overthrew the rule of Bang Zhou was even more unlikely.
But now!
An unprecedentedly powerful Yidi country turned out to be in the north of the Han Dynasty, from Liaodong to northern Jin, and then to Longxi, these were their lands.
Everyone knows why Liu Bang summoned everyone, this is the real big trouble.
Seeing that everyone realized the seriousness of the problem, Luo Yilang said: "Gentlemen, in the west hundred miles of Chang'an City is the old land of Feng Ho of Bang Zhou in the past, and the ancestor King Su once called on the princes of the world there.
From the coast of the East China Sea, to the west of Qinchuan, from the wasteland north of Yanzhao, to Lingnan and even Qiongzhou, this is the place where King Su looks down.
For the past thousand years, the ancestors have defended the rule of Zhuxia in this land.
Now it is the Han Dynasty, and all the monarchs are meritorious nobles of the Han Dynasty, so it is your bounden duty to defend the rule of Zhuxia in the land where King Su droops.
Now the Xiongnu are trying to peep into the land of the Han Dynasty and plunder the people of the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty is furious, and the people are crying blood, are you willing to show your loyalty this time? ”
The blood of these nobles from Shandong was boiling.
"Your Majesty, please fight!"
As soon as Luo Yi's words fell, Fan Hao and the others immediately stood up and asked Liu Bang to fight.
These fierce generals naturally can't run, but the most important thing is the commander, Liu Bang originally wanted to fight the Xiongnu's Shan Yu in person.
But Luo also said a word, dispelling Liu Bang's thoughts, "You are the supreme son of heaven, if you are defeated by the barbarians, even if you lure the enemy and lose, the blow to morale will be great, and I am afraid that it will not look good in the history books in the future, so I still recommend that you send a confidant general to serve as the commander." ”
In fact, what Luo Yi thought in his heart was that the fight against the Huns was very important, and there was no need to use Liu Bang if there was a stronger Han Xin.
Liu Bang's personality is sometimes easy to float, he doesn't listen to persuasion as soon as he goes up, and he doesn't come to admit his mistake until he makes a mistake, but the emperor can't make a mistake in fighting the Huns, and once he makes a mistake, he even has to pay the price for the whole world.
Luo Yi only hopes to solve this matter by himself through the big man, and don't let the eldest brother spend the family background to do it.
In the face of the surging crowd, Liu Bang was very satisfied, and said loudly: "I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the father of the subjects of the world, and now the Xiongnu want to attack and kill my subjects, is this bearable?"
I was very angry and decided to lead an army of 250,000 to fight the Huns! ”
The main hall was even more noisy, these people were licked blood by the head of the knife, and now they have not been corroded by the substance, they can dare to fight, and they are shouting to give the Huns a little color.
Liu Bang glanced at Han Xin and said loudly, "Where is the general?" ”
There was only one general in the Han Dynasty, and that was Han Xin, especially after Han Xin semi-retired, Liu Bang promoted the general's quality to the same level as the three dukes.
Everyone didn't feel very strange, such a strong enemy was either His Majesty himself or the Marquis of Huaiyin, there were no exceptions.
Han Xin, who closed his eyes slightly, stood up from his seat, bowed slightly, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is here." ”
Then he straightened up, and glanced at everyone in the audience, and his eyes erupted with endless evil energy.
Even though he didn't lead troops for several years, he was still the invincible soldier immortal, and within three years he led the Han army to pacify the world, and even the invincible Xiang Yu was tied in front of him.
He single-handedly pressed the princes and kings to dare not speak, and they were frightened day and night.
Even though he is idle at home, but now in the face of a strong enemy like the Xiongnu, once he recovers, he will be under one person and above ten thousand people.
Liu Bang was also unambiguous, and said directly: "This crusade against the Huns, with the general Han Xin as the main commander, controls 250,000 horses on the three routes, adds the rank of captain, and the governor conquests all military affairs, and the princes and princes of Yan Zhao are all obeying his orders. ”
In order to facilitate Han Xin's play, Liu Bang gave a lot of command power, Han Xin bowed slightly again, and thanked: "Your Majesty, the minister will not disgrace his mission." ”
"Whoa!"
The ministers shouted in unison.
With an order, a large number of people in Guanzhong began to be transferred, and Xiao He looked at the warehouse that could basically run mice, and wanted to cry without tears.
In the past two or three years, he has finally accumulated a little grain and grass, but as soon as the army started, it was emptied again, and the empire's finances were still healthy, but no matter how good he was at playing finance, he couldn't change grain and grass.
……
Troops were dispatched in Chang'an City, and Luo Yi was doing his best to prepare to solve this matter, but he didn't know that Luo Ling in Zhaocheng was ready to leave the city that had been sitting for a long time.
He had a deep understanding of the situation in the world, and understood that as long as Han Xin led the army to the battle, it was impossible for the Han army to be defeated, but it was equally impossible to win a big victory.
The biggest advantage of the people of the bow is that they come and go like the wind, they can still run if they can't fight, and the offensive initiative is completely in the hands of the Xiongnu, which is completely different from the war in the Central Plains.
Moreover, the Central Plains is in a period of recovery from the trauma of war, and there is a shortage of food and grass, and continuous wars will empty all the savings that have recovered a little in recent years.
And the Xiongnu are in the integration period, and the war with the Xiongnu at this time will even help him complete the integration, after all, a single Yu who can unify the grassland tribes is definitely capable of using war to save the good.
Then the Han Dynasty would be forced to face a nomadic empire that had reached its peak early in the ascending period.
Luoling couldn't allow this situation to happen, so he decided to go to the grassland.
With Maudun's order, the grassland is now surging, and this is the first time that the kings of the tribes on the grassland have seen so many tribal masters.
Some of them were Xiongnu people, some were Donghu people, and these people who used to have different languages and customs were united under the banner of the Xiongnu under the leadership of Mao Dun and became the Xiongnu.
These Huns gathered under several major tents.
Especially under the tent of Mao Dun Shan Yu, almost sixty percent of the cavalry of the entire grassland were gathered, all of whom grew up on horseback since childhood, and were the best at riding and shooting.
It was in this situation that Luo Ling came to the grassland.
When his car drove out of the Great Wall and headed north, the environment was very different from that of the Central Plains.
Unlike many people's imagination of the grassland, the grassland is actually not flat, but a raised hill, but the slope is very gentle, and the horses can run on it.
With Luoling coming out was Qiaoyun, driving for him, the dare warriors were not brought out at all, because if they really encountered a large number of Huns on the prairie, a small number of dare soldiers were useless.
Luo Ling can directly use the guard props to protect him and Qiao Yun from leaving, if he encounters a small number of Huns, Luo Ling and Qiao Yun are enough to kill.
Qiao Yun drove the car and asked with a smile: "Family master, where are we going?" ”
Luo Ling glanced at the gurgling water, and said softly: "Just walk along the stream, on the grassland, there is no direction, everywhere is directly ahead." ”
Qiao Yun understands, and if you go along the water, you will definitely run into people.

In ancient China, the Son of Heaven had the attributes of man and god at the same time, on the one hand, he was secular and ruled his subjects, on the other hand, he claimed to be ordered by heaven and was the heir of God, but with the continuous promotion of the ancestral god of King Su and the strong historical tradition, Luo Shi seized a large part of the right to sacrifice to the Son of Heaven, which was a powerful check and balance on the imperial power when the imperial power became stronger and stronger. - "The Change of Ruling Power"
