Chapter 51: Light and Darkness

…… It's the Northern Army again.

Recently, many things have been related to the Northern Army, which is related to the particularity of the Northern Army. The Chang'an Guard Army is divided into three systems, that is, the Inner Court Forbidden Army that guards the palace, which is directly governed by Lang Zhongling.

Then came the Southern Army, the Northern Army.

Among them, the number of northern armies is the largest, which can protect Chang'an, and can also go out in wartime.

Liu Huai, the former lieutenant of the Northern Army, died, and Zhang Cigong inherited the position of lieutenant of the Northern Army, and then secret detectives found that Zhang Cigong and Liu Ling had an affair.

Tonight, the building where the Hun mission on duty by the Northern Army was located had another 'accident'.

Huo Qu was sick: The fox's tail was no longer hidden.

But he is not ready to seize the line of the Northern Army to check down, and good hunter patience is the basic quality.

The line of the Northern Army is too thin. The other party was quite careful, because the Northern Army was on duty in the Hun Pavilion, he pushed everything on the Northern Army, which was too far-fetched, and it was difficult to find other clues based on this.

It's better to pretend that you don't know, and let the other party raise your guts, and the tail will leak more and more.

Huo Quzhi boarded the car, Xiong San followed, and when Zhao Ponu and Yao Zhao came out, they jumped on the chariot with one left and one right, and the four of them roared and beat the horses away.

In the courtyard, all that was left were the corpses of the Huns.

There is also an ugly complexion.

His face was ugly, not because the Huns were killed, but because of Huo Quzhi's attitude towards him.

It's so arrogant...... What kind of generals there are, what kind of soldiers, as well as his subordinates, rode away, and also did not give him, one of the three princes, the imperial historian, the respect he deserved.

Fan squinted at the corpses of the Huns on the ground, and walked away.

Huo Qubing killed the Hun envoys, ignoring the rules.

Even if you are favored by Your Majesty, you can't act arbitrarily, otherwise what's the use of making rules?

The long night is fleeting, and the morning after the sky is bright.

Thousands of miles north of the Han border, there is the court of the Xiongnu king.

The big single who got up in the morning was slanted by Yizhi, and his face was cold.

As the leader of the Xiongnu, he had his own set of special communication methods, and could receive the news of the mission in time, although he was thousands of miles away, but after a night, he already knew that something had happened in Chang'an.

There was also news from the Western Regions a little earlier.

Xu Buhui and Hu Yanye each led a team, one went to Chang'an, and the other went to the west of the Han Dynasty through the Western Regions to start planning.

However, both teams were defeated.

Especially the mission to Chang'an, there was no one left alive!

When did the Han people become so sharp and fierce, resolute and decisive, and the mission did not let go.

The loss this time was not only the failure of the Xiongnu's plan, but also the Huyanye, Timan, and Subuna brothers were all rare generals of the Xiongnu.

Among them, Hu Yanye and Xu Buhui are even more prominent, a big captain and a bone marquis, all of them are dead.

Yi Zhi slammed the low mat covered with wolf skin in front of him, and said angrily: "Do you know what reason made them kill the people of the mission?"

And led the army to attack the elite of our Huns, which team of the Han army killed Xu Buhui, and who was the general? ”

"There is no new news yet."

"In the news that the lower cavalry under the command of Xu Buhui, who was defeated by the other party, only the appearance of the other party's general, a very young Han general, personally led the team to charge the battle and killed Xu Buhui."

"In the news sent back, it was mentioned more than once that the opponent's speed was fast and the offensive was rapid, until Su Buhui's team was torn apart, the opponent's impact battle formation remained intact and the damage was very small.

The Han generals who led the team and the bone capital Hou Xu Buhui had a brief confrontation, and Xu Buhui was stabbed off his horse and died.

Messages are only these ......"

The person in charge of reporting is an old Hun man who has served by Yi Zhixi's side for many years:

"There is less information about why Captain Hu Yanye, who sent to Chang'an, was killed. What happened last night, the secret art was transmitted, and there was only time to send back a message, only to know that something had happened to the envoys.

I don't know why the Han people suddenly got angry and killed our Xiongnu envoys, which had never happened before. ”

"The order goes down and makes every effort to find out the cause, and this matter must not be easily stopped.

I, the Hun Commander, died in Chang'an, and I can only repay it with the blood and lives of the Han people! ”

Yi Zhi's face turned gloomy: "Inform all departments, prepare for war with all your might!"

Since the plan failed, let's teach the Han people a hard lesson and let them suffer a big defeat in order to boost the prestige of our Huns. ”

He also said: "First send two teams of 10,000 people to attack and harass along the northern line of the Han people, do not have a fixed rule, all possible attack positions, can attack, so that the Han people can not find our direction and disperse their defenses." ”

The old man bowed down and agreed, and was about to give the order, when Yi Zhi said again:

"In addition, inform the Han people and let them hand over the murderers of our mission, otherwise our Xiongnu will attack Han with all their might."

Yi Zhixian didn't really think that this threat would make the Han people hand over the murderer, but it was a tactic to create pressure.

With his understanding of the Han people, there are also different factions within the Han people, and infighting is attritional.

As long as they release the news, and cooperate with the external pressure of the war between the two countries, the person who killed the Xiongnu mission is likely to be attacked by the internal faction of the DPRK.

For the Huns, it would have been easy to investigate his identity and find him out.

And the disputes between the Han dynasty and the opposition are also the results that the Huns are happy to see.

The Xiongnu mission was killed, and Yi Zhixian immediately arranged a fierce counterattack.

After that, in the court of the Xiongnu king, the ancient war horn sounded.

This voice spread throughout the grassland, so that under the throne of the Xiongnu royal court, hundreds of nomadic tribes were ready to fight!

It's just that the confrontation with the Han people in the spring, regardless of the victory or defeat, is destined to affect the summer harvest, and for the Xiongnu, it has formed a great loss.

At the same time, it is also thousands of miles away in Chang'an, in a big city, and the mansion is magnificent.

The old man in a fine costume had a modest face and a distinct smile on his lips.

The middle-aged man who talked to him last time said respectfully: "Your Majesty, after last night's turmoil in Chang'an, there is about to be a big war between the Xiongnu and my Han people, and the world will also be in turmoil!" ”

The old man bowed slightly, stroked his beard and said: "Huo Quai's plan broke the Huns' plan, and he is a general, but it's a pity...... The Huns failed to kill him. ”

The old man said before that if he couldn't kill Huo Quai, he would try to get close to him, and he would be the best to have a chance to win him over.

But this does not mean that he will let go of the opportunity to attack and kill Huo Quai.

For example, last night, he secretly induced the Xiongnu envoys to kill Huo Quai, and Huo Qu died of illness when he became ill, and a fierce conflict broke out between the Xiongnu and the Han.

If defeated, Huo will be sick and alive, and the Xiongnu envoys will die, and the Xiongnu will still have a fierce conflict with the Han.

No matter how the old man counts, he is the winner of potential benefits, and he wins both positively and negatively.

Only his status and identity can do certain things in secret, learn about the changes in Chang'an in time, and secretly Chen Cang under Liu Che's nose!

"Now that Huo Qubing is still alive, the previous plan can still be continued.

This person is indeed rare, not only was he the first to see the purpose of the Huns' envoy, but also ran thousands of miles to seize the head of the enemy's generals. After Wei Qing, there was Huo Qu's illness again, and the soldiers of our Han people were improved. ”

The old man thought for a while, and then asked, "Last time, you were asked to choose someone to approach him, did you find a good candidate?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "It's been chosen, things are advancing." ”

"Then look at this confrontation between the Xiongnu and the Han people, who wins and who loses."

……

Weiyang Palace.

There were some disputes in the early dynasty, the reason was that the imperial historian and Taichang Zhou Ping were in the same line, and they were proud of their achievements in the Yao school captain Huo Quai, and they killed the Xiongnu envoys indiscriminately, which disregarded the etiquette of the country.

"Today we beheaded the Xiongnu envoys, and the next day the two countries fought again, if our Han people sent envoys to the Xiongnu, and the other party also used the same means, there would be no way to communicate.

The two sides fight to the death, and the losses will be heavy! Fan made a generous statement.

When he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Che above, and found that His Majesty was expressionless, as if he hadn't listened.

Someone in the ranks of military generals immediately retorted.

Taichang Zhou Ping took over the baton and said: "Huo Qu's illness was happy for a while, the Hun army pressed the border, and it was our Han people who suffered, and it was really short-sighted to kill the Hun envoys." ”

For a long time, Fan Department and Zhou Ping have not found a chance to suppress Huo Qu's illness.

He killed the Hun envoys, which was indeed against the law.

Even in the Warring States Period, there were few precedents for killing envoys, and the so-called truth of being a man and leaving a line is here, who can guarantee that he will win a hundred battles.

To kill the other party's messenger is to leave no stone unturned and close the communication portal.

Strictly speaking, killing the Hun envoys is indeed a thing that can be done.

But when Zhou Ping's words fell, he also found that His Majesty was expressionless, as if he hadn't listened.

The two said a few more words, but Liu Che was always expressionless, as if he hadn't listened.

The two of them themselves were a little deflated, and it seemed that there was no play. If you go further, you will force Your Majesty to express your position, and fight to the death with Your Majesty, we will never have good fruit to eat, and this matter is not worth admonishing.

The two were about to change the topic, Liu Che sat on the throne, and always wanted to give the old ministers some face, and said, "Since you think it's ...... Huo Qu is responsible, so announce him to the palace to see me, and I will ask in person.

Okay, nothing to do. After that, he got up and went to the apse, came to the study through the inner porch, and summoned Huo to see him.
