Cross the Yanmen, Yuexiong Pass.

Say goodbye to your fathers and elders, leave Chang'an.

Liu Che said that the offense and defense are easy to type, and this time it is really easy to attack and defend.

The Xiongnu showed no signs of attacking, but the Han army took the initiative to attack the grassland.

How difficult it is to find the traces of the Xiongnu in the vast grassland, so this time, Liu Che's plan is not to attack any of the 240,000 Xiongnu cavalry.

His goal.

It's a mutual market!

The steppe people need salt, they need tea, they need cloth.

Where do these things come from?

In the past few years, the bilateral relations were quite harmonious, and the Han Dynasty had peace and relatives every year, as well as sending wine and food to Shan Yuting.

After seeing the good things of the Han Dynasty, it is inevitable that all departments have hopes, but if the Xiongnu give them the amount they want, it will be somewhat impossible.

After all, Shan Yu is the king of the grassland, he didn't use it well, how could he get the grassland kings below.

So the mutual market appeared.

The Han people needed the Huns' cows, wool and horses, and the Huns naturally needed them.

Year after year.

The existence of the mutual market has made the grassland people and the Han people accustomed to it, and even the last time Yi Zhi raised troops to attack the Han Dynasty, the mutual market is still running.

Because there is a need.

But this time, Liu Che's purpose was to destroy all the mutual markets, which were important to the Huns, but dispensable to the Han people, especially to the elite.

They have better access.

And each mutual market is more or less related to the Hun kings, attacking there, there is a high probability of leading to the Hun king behind the mutual market, waiting for the enemy to come to the door, how can there be aimless trouble.

The Han army has already sharpened its knives.

Naturally, the Huns were not blind.

Especially with Hu Shui, the warlord leader who is in the grassland and his heart is enlightened.

——

"This is about to start a fight, hehe, first inject a shot of strength into the Han army to boost their morale.

Where are the people? ”

Handed over to the Li Duwei Mansion, Zhang Qi looked at the more than 100 secret letters on the table and asked Bai Xing.

"Back to the king, I have passed Henan County, and I will arrive in Chang'an in a few days."

"Hmm." Zhang Qi, who was flipping through the secret letter, nodded.

This time, he sent Wang Li to escort the head of 5,000 Xiongnu to Chang'an, along with 30,000 cattle and sheep, as well as Zuo Gu Liwang and Zuo Tuqi.

Of course, the number of cattle and sheep is not the point, this is just for show, the route is so long, maybe I will send it when it is more than 100,000 or 200,000, it is all the consumption on the road, which leads to only so much.

The focus is on Zuo Gu Liwang and Zuo Tu Qi.

These two people were personally selected by Hu Shui, not to mention that they are really related by blood, but there are not many.

In the past, the behavior was also worth the spiritual point after being sent to Jiaoli, and these poor people who were completely psychologically broken and played bad had no resistance to the implantation of the spiritual point.

But people are just like that, what the spiritual point enhances is Zhang Qi's image in their hearts, similar to the ideological seal, but the character is destroyed, and these people are of no use to Zhang Qi if they are alive.

Of course, it is useless here in Zhang Qi, but in the hands of Liu Che, the effect on the Han Dynasty is too great.

This is the first time that there are 240,000 Huns who have been directly captured, and the impact is significant.

The military operations of the border counties advanced slowly, and Wang Li's speed was much faster.

Through Henan County, into Hongnong County, straight into Chang'an.

Thousands of sergeants, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and hundreds of vehicles swaggered through the market.

The people and magnates of Chang'an all cast a new eye.

Caravans they have seen.

The army they have also seen.

But it's the first time I've seen a caravan or an army like this.

This means that this army is Zhang Qi's, and if he wants to be replaced by any other general, Liu Che has to come to a triumphant army in person.

At the beginning, after he received the battle report of the capture of the two kings.

He didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.

Naturally, the Han army is prestigious.

Anger is that this army is not his descendant.

and his own promise to be crowned king.

The officers and men of the Liaodong Army failed to enter Chang'an City.

Although there were only three hundred, the others were conscripted men.

But at the feet of the Son of Heaven, any armed force must be heavily checked.

The Yulin Army took over the 300 soldiers of the Liaodong Army and placed them in the school field outside the city.

And Wang Li got the opportunity to meet Liu Che.

Chang'an Palace.

"Xuan, Counselor of the Governor's Mansion of Youzhou, Wang Li is here!"

"Xuan"

“.”

One by one.

At the gate of the palace wall.

Yulin Langwei then let Wang Li go.

Together, there were two frightened Hun faces.

"Minister, Wang Li, counselor of the Governor's Mansion of Youzhou, meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be blessed and healthy."

Wang Li did not look at Liu Che in the high position, but lowered the ground in front of him, with a respectful attitude, and couldn't find fault with it.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, I'm a talented person, it's a pity that I didn't see it, it's a pity."

Liu Che laughed.

He has a love for Zhang Qizhen, a handsome talent who can play and defend, how can he not be loved.

It's a pity that the ambition is bigger.

"I hope Your Majesty don't blame you, the border county Huns are arrogant, and they want to invade Liaodi and plunder every moment, and the captain has no way, so he can't leave."

"Hahaha, this is natural, the border county is a big matter, how can I blame my Du Wei, come, tell my ministers, what kind of big things Zhang Du Wei has done, and who are these two people you brought!"

At this moment, there are indeed many curious eyes in Chang'an Palace, and the ministers are kneeling on the ground, except for a few ministers who often go in and out of Liu Che's inner court and a few ministers who are in high positions, the others are a little ignorant, and can only guess that it is related to the grassland.

"No!"

Wang Li straightened up and said word by word.

"Last year, the Governor's Mansion in the central part of Youzhou received His Majesty's order to attack the two divisions of the Zuowang of the grassland, prepared in May, set off in June, arrived in August, after 32 battles of all sizes, defeated the enemy all the way, found the headquarters of the two kings, contained the siege for several months, beheaded 5,600 levels, obtained hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, captured more than 30,000 people, captured the king of Zuogu Li, and Zuo Tu Qi Uwei!"

"These two people are King Zuo Gu Li and Zuo Tu Qi!"

With that, Wang Li moved his body slightly, revealing the two tied people behind him.

Chang'an Palace was in an uproar!

Did the Han Dynasty have this ability?

Who's that Central Governor?

"In addition, the Lieutenant also asked me to present a letter of accusation to His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to punish him!"

As he spoke, Wang Li knelt down on one knee and put his hands above his head.

"Bring it up."

Liu Che glanced at the eunuch, who immediately took the letter and checked it, and then handed it to Liu Che.

Chang'an Palace was silent, only the sound of cloth rubbing.

After reading the letter, Liu Che's expression was much softer.

The letter is really a letter of accusation, Zhang Qi said in the letter that there were too many prisoners and it was inconvenient to carry, so he killed the prisoners, and did not mention anything about the king, and between the lines was to Liu Che under the steps.

"Hahaha, what a good first general in Liaodong, he is a great talent, he came to draw up the will, named Zhang Qi as a liehou, ate Liaodi, gave 100,000 gold, and 100,000 silk cloth"

In one breath, Liu Che said countless rewards, and the ministers were also interested in not mentioning the king.

However, Wang Li said loudly.

"Your Majesty, Du Weiyan, you can not have a reward, but ask for Liu's daughter!"

"Bold!"

"Arrogance!"

For a time, countless imperial histories in Chang'an Palace broke out!
