There was once a person who ended the melee in the Central Plains and implemented great unification. That person was called Ying Zheng.
Just after Ying Zheng, there was another person who ended the melee in the grassland and implemented the great unity of all the people. This person was named Mo Dun.
Outside the Yanmen Great Wall is the camp where Mao Dun is located. Mao Dun asked his soldiers to disguise themselves as herdsmen and distribute them in all directions outside the Great Wall. Anyway, ordinary people can't tell the difference between herdsmen and Huns cavalry. The Huns fought
When traveling, I like to bring sheep with me so that I can slaughter them anytime and anywhere.
In the position of the central army is Maodun's big tent.
Mao Dun was not tall. He wore a felt hat shaped like a wolf's head and armor. He spread his legs and sat proudly on the bed with his back. As the leader of the barbarians, Mao Dun followed the other guys.
They were different. His clothes were neat and clean, and so was his body. He was chatting and laughing with several advisers around him.
Among his advisers were Huns, Hans, Dinglings, and even Wusun and Yuezhi people.
When Mao Dun communicated with them, his words were often mixed with their language. Mo Dun knew many languages. He could even write letters to Empress Lu himself. He was considered a literate man among barbarians, but
, only when he treats his advisers, he will make himself like a civilized person, but when he treats his generals, he will be more barbaric than those generals.
When he learned that the envoy was back, Maodun was very happy and hurriedly let the envoy in.
The envoy walked carelessly into the tent and met with Modu. Modu, holding his big belly, asked with a smile: "You actually came back alive?"
The envoy was not surprised. He smiled and said: "The Han people are cowardly and dare not kill me. I came back alive!"
Mao Dun shook his head, "It's a pity... This woman is not simple, she can endure this... It seems that there will be no chance in the short term."
"Have you met the little emperor?"
"I haven't seen him, but I heard he was very angry."
"Heh, it seems he has no power at all..."
Mao Dun asked about the internal situation of the Han Dynasty again. As he was talking, the envoy suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took out a letter from his body and said: "Pengli Gutu, before I left, two Han people found me
I handed this letter to you, saying it was written by King Tang of Han Dynasty to you?"
"The king of Tang Dynasty?"
Speaking of the Tang State, Mao Dun narrowed his eyes. Since the establishment of the Tang State, it has become the main enemy of the Xiongnu. Unlike the Yan State, the Tang State even dared to come out of the Great Wall to plunder the Xiongnu's livestock. Mao Dun now provoked the general
, in fact, he wanted to weaken the Tang State.
"give it to me!"
Mao Dun took the letter and said with a smile: "I heard that the King of Tang was just a doll. Look at this baby..." Mo Dun looked down at the letter and suddenly stopped talking. His face became worse and worse, darkening.
With a frown on his face, his chest rising and falling, his eyes burning with anger, he threw the letter to the ground and roared: "I have to kill this bitch!!"
"Someone is coming!!"
The young man standing next to Modun took the letter curiously. Although this young man was dressed in barbarian clothes, his gestures were polite. He took the letter and read it carefully.
"Maodun, I will marry your mother! I will marry your father! I will marry your whole family! I will marry your daughter! I will marry your son! Also, I will marry you! I will wash my clothes and wait for you. I will go and marry you now.
I’ve killed you!——Tang Wang Liu Chang.”
"Father...your method of stimulating generals has been replaced by another method of stimulating generals."
The young man who spoke was called Jizhu. He was the son of Mao Dun, and he was also the confirmed successor. He was still young, but he was already deeply respected by the adults of each tribe. He was both civil and military. Unlike Mao Dun, this
This young man was gentler towards other tribes, but also extremely brave. He once took the lead in attacking Wusun and made great achievements. He was a very remarkable successor.
In history, after inheriting the throne of Maodun, he was called Laoshang Chanyu. The Laoshang Chanyu period was the peak period in the history of the Xiongnu. All tribes reached an agreement, internal troubles were pacified, and foreign enemies retreated. Laoshang Chanyu
Shanyu is always compared with Maodun. Both father and son are talented and strategic people.
Modun glared at Jizhou fiercely and gasped angrily. Ever since he led the Huns to rise up, no one has ever dared to humiliate him like this!
Even when they exchanged letters with the Han Dynasty, the other party only scolded them as "unethical thieves and chiefs" and "rude barbarians". Of course, as a cultural person, Mao Dun did not even write to Empress Lu.
When he said he wanted to marry her, he was just saying something vague like exchanging information, but Mao Dun didn't expect that this Tang King would be so barbaric and rude. He treated the big man as a civilized person, but he actually dared to do this to himself?
Jizhu said again: "Father...retreat the troops."
"They don't want to provoke the generals at all... I think this kid's intention is to attract us to attack the Tang Dynasty and ambush us."
"It's not your turn to give orders now! Wait a few years! Wait until I die first!!"
Maodun roared angrily. Facing the strong father, Jizhou lowered his head and said nothing.
"Oh, he wants to lure me to attack Tang State... He wants to ambush us... Okay, then let's let them ambush... I want to see who got who!"
"Father? What do you mean?"
"You stay here...pretend to attack the Tang Kingdom...If they want to ambush, they must have gathered all the troops in the Tang Kingdom. Just in time, I will take advantage of the opportunity to capture King Yan and infiltrate him in the palace!"
"Father, what if there are soldiers in Yan?"
"Then you really attack the Tang Dynasty and come here to intervene... If they divide their troops into two places, we can directly join forces and destroy the throne."
Mao Dun called several generals and gave them different orders, asking them to be ready at any time. Jizhu didn't say anything anymore, but listened carefully to Mao Dun's orders to the generals and learned how to use troops.
"By the way, I still have to reply to that bastard! Get the pen and ink!"
........
At this time, Liu Chang was sitting in front of Han Xin boredly.
"Master, you came up with the strategy, and I found the people. Why did we have nothing to do with each other in the end? This is so unfair..."
"I asked you to find the Prime Minister and Xia Houying... Who knew you would make such big moves, including the Northern Army, the Yuezhi, and various princes..."
Han Xin shook his head, this guy was not good at anything, but he was really good at bluffing people.
Originally, Han Xin's idea was just to have a small battle, gather all the war horses, form an elite cavalry, carry out a surprise attack when the opponent was completely unprepared, and then seduce him... Who knew, this guy would be wandering around Chang'an for a long time?
, he actually raised an army of nearly 100,000, and Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, Fan Kuai and others were all deceived by him.
Even the Yuezhi from various vassal states and outside the Great Wall were brought in.
Han Xin was also taken aback and hurriedly adjusted his strategy and redeployed.
This guy has quite a lot of connections, and he was able to get so many people on board at once.
"I asked you to write a letter, and now he has probably seen your letter..."
Liu Chang grinned and said, "Don't worry, master. When he saw the letter, he would definitely be so angry that he would be so angry... Maybe he would be so angry that he would start attacking..."
Han Xin shook his head, "If he had been so easy to take advantage of, he would have died on the grassland long ago... He would have easily seen through your provocation method."
"There's one thing I don't understand..."
"What don't you understand?"
"Zhou Bo is the best at fighting. Why do you let him lead the most elite Northern Army to guard Dai? There are obviously no enemies here... The Huns must have attacked from Yanmen in Yunzhong, or from Yan State... Dai
Surrounded by two places, if Maodun attacks Daidi, aren't we afraid of being surrounded from both sides?"
Han Xin's face was full of disdain, "If you could understand...you wouldn't have to sit here and study with me."
"But I don't understand. Master, you told me before that when you go on an expedition, you should distribute the most elite troops on the left and right, just like a person's two fists, attack from the left and right, deliberately attracting the opponent to attack your chest, and wait for the opponent to attack your chest.
Get close, then surround him from left to right, hug him directly... But this time, you are different from what you usually teach me. You are reaching out and hitting others with your chest..."
"I will teach you again after Zhou Bo returns victorious."
Han Xin said calmly.
Hearing this, Liu Chang became even more angry.
"Damn Zhou Bo, take the credit from me! I should have been the one to defeat the Huns! The same goes for my mother, why not let me do it?!"
"Oh, you idiot, the Queen Mother is protecting you... If you win, the credit belongs to Your Majesty. If you lose, it will be the Queen Mother's responsibility... You don't know what is good or bad..."
Han Xin cursed a few times and then said: "Besides, you are unable to command an army now. Your current ability is about the same as being a corps commander."
"Master, how can you despise me so much!!"
Liu Chang jumped up suddenly and glared angrily.
"I despise you so much, what do you want?"
"Hey, hey, it's not that bad. Master, does your shoulder hurt after sitting for a long time? Do you want me to give you a squeeze?"
.....
Obviously he was the main planner of this battle, but Liu Chang failed to participate in the specific battle.
Five hundred of his soldiers went to the Tang State, and it was said that they were going to lead the soldiers of the Tang State to guard the front line, while the soldiers from Zhao, Liang, Han and other places went to the Yan State. Zhou Bo led the army and was stationed in Daijun, Luan Bu and Zhang Buyi.
Four people, Zhao Ping and Ji Bu, were also recruited by Empress Lu and are currently busy on the front line.
My mother and brother spent the whole day reading memorials from various places, constantly replying, and mobilizing supplies from Chang'an to the State of Zhao. With Zhao State as the center and the entire north as the battlefield, they came to attack the Xiongnu. Liu Chang became a complete
A lonely person.
The only good news is that almost all the generals have gone to the front line, the mansions in Chang'an are empty again, and the wise men can gather together again to discuss national affairs.
"No!"
"The lieutenant is fighting hard on the front line, how can we steal his chicken?"
"Let's go to Jiancheng Hou's house. It is said that he bought another batch of lambs..."
"No!"
"How much meat can a lamb have? It's better to wait until he grows up and then steal it!"
The wise men were discussing important matters seriously, but Liu Chang's face was very ugly and he said nothing.
Zhou Shengzhi sat next to Liu Chang with a smile and handed him the snacks in his hand.
"Your Majesty...the generals are following your strategy to attack the Xiongnu. Why is your Majesty so unhappy?"
"Oh, even a fool like Ruyi is going to fight, but I am sitting here, listening to you guys discussing whose house to steal...I really can't be happy!"
"Your Majesty is still young, but he can already win a battle thousands of miles away. Why are you still angry?"
Chen Mai said with a smile.
"I don't want to win the battle thousands of miles away, I just want to win the battle myself."
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. In four or five years, Your Majesty will be able to go to Fengguo. At that time, we will go together and fight a great victory!"
Liu Chang sighed helplessly, thinking that Ruyi would be proud to accept the reward after the victory, and he was itching with hatred. Seeing that the king was unhappy, the wise men offered suggestions one after another, some comforted him with meat, and some suggested indulgence.
Some people offered to take the car outside the city, but no matter what, Liu Chang still looked gloomy.
At this time, Mr. Fan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the war is busy, and Prime Minister Cao lives next to the palace, and can go to discuss important matters with His Majesty at any time... He is not in the palace, doesn't Your Majesty always miss Princess Tang?
Why don’t you just go to the Prime Minister’s Mansion?”
Liu Chang was furious, "The country is at war. Is this the time when children's love lasts forever?"
"I'm going to the Cao Mansion to discuss important matters with the Prime Minister! You can continue to sit here!"
Seeing Liu Chang leaving angrily, Mr. Fan was stunned for a long time, and then he looked at Zhou Shengzhi beside him, "Have you noticed... Your Majesty is speaking more and more confidently now."
"Isn't your Majesty always like this?"
"No, he was able to hide it a little before..."
"Oh, then maybe he was led astray by the two brothers from the Lu family."
"Zhou Shengzhi! You piece of shit, I have to compete with you today!"
But at this moment, Liu Chang had already appeared in the Cao Mansion. After his servants informed him that Prime Minister Cao was not here, Chang Liu suggested with some regret that he should see Mrs. Cao, and then sneaked into the mansion. Mrs. Cao was different from Prime Minister Cao.
, she liked this well-behaved child very much and often teased him by calling him son-in-law.
"Come, have something to eat..."
Mrs. Cao smiled and got him some food. After Liu Chang finished eating, she let him play in the house for a while.
Of course Liu Chang went all the way to Cao Shu's house.
"Sister~~~"
Liu Chang shouted sweetly, and his few jokes made Cao Shu laugh.
"If you are so eloquent at such a young age, you will be able to charm many girls in the future!"
Cao Shu knocked Liu Chang on the head. Liu Chang smiled stupidly and said with a simple and honest face: "I only want to charm one person, sister, and I don't want anything else!"
"I am so many years older than you..." Cao Shu held Liu Chang's hand seriously and said: "Eldest brother, you are still young... Don't do this in front of outsiders.
Say...I'm so much older than you...you know that?"
"So what? My father is much older than my mother. When I go to Tang Dynasty in the future, I don't need anything but you, my sister! Just go with me!"
Looking at the decisive Liu Chang in front of her, Cao Shu laughed again, "What about Fan Qing? There are also people from the Lu family, Zhou family, who else is coming?"
"Ahem, who is slandering me?!"
"Who is it?! I will definitely not let him go!!"
"My father said it..."
Cao Shu chuckled.
"Well, Prime Minister Cao is busy with state affairs, so it's understandable that he misremembered and said the wrong thing."
Cao Shu said with a smile: "My father will come back early today. When the time comes, wouldn't it be great if my eldest brother asked him directly?"
"ah??"
Liu Chang was shocked and said hurriedly: "The Tang Dynasty is still at war... I have to go to deal with state affairs. Sister, I will come to you again!"
Seeing Liu Chang running away without looking back, Cao Shu laughed again.
He hurried back to the palace. As soon as he entered the Jiaofang Hall, Liu Chang was startled because Cao Shen was here. Liu Chang smiled awkwardly and sat quietly aside. Cao Shen was discussing with Empress Lu.
While the battle was going on, Liu Chang pricked up his ears to listen.
"The armies from various countries have arrived in the State of Zhao, and they will be commanded by General Xiahou. The State of Qi has sent the largest number of troops. South Korea has no soldiers, so they sent people to send food and grass...The King of Han wrote to ask for His Majesty's forgiveness... Your Majesty has replied to the letter.
..General Chu arrived three days overdue, and General Xiahou arrested him..."
Cao Shen reported seriously and asked: "How to deal with it?"
"Imprison him and send him to the State of Chu to be punished by the King of Chu!"
Empress Lu answered one by one, "The Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty sent an envoy and needed Shang Fang to provide a large amount of gunpowder..."
"allow!"
"The King of Yan wrote a letter, asking for the right to pursue him, and wanted to fight alone..."
"No!"
Looking at Queen Lu's red eyes, Cao Shen couldn't bear it. He sighed helplessly. He could only ask the Queen Mother about these things. The prince was too hesitant to do things. He couldn't make up his mind about these things and always came to ask him.
Although Cao Shen was the prime minister, he could not always make up his mind for the emperor. In the end, Empress Lu could only be responsible. Empress Lu never acted sloppily and decisively, unlike a woman at all.
Compared with the Queen Mother, Liu Ying, who hesitated for a long time and couldn't tell whether it was accurate or not, looked more like a woman...
After sending Cao Shen away, Liu Chang also stood behind Empress Lu obediently and gently rubbed her shoulders.
"Mom... in a few years... you won't be so tired... I will be responsible for these things."
"What? In a few years, will you rebel and take away your brother's position?"
"Ah? Mom, what do you mean?"
"The major events in the world should be decided by the emperor, not you! Do you understand?!"
"Then grandma, aren't you now..."
Empress Lu sighed, "As long as your brother...forget it, things will probably be different when he has children."
Liu Chang didn't speak anymore, but gently squeezed his mother's shoulder, "Mom... if we win a big victory this time, do I have any credit for it?"
"what do you want?"
"I don't want much. If my mother really wants a reward, can I leave the Northern Army to the Tang State?"
"no."
"Is it okay for Zhou Bo to stay in Tang?"
"no."
"The armies of other princes..."
"Wars are spreading! Are you still thinking about your Tang country? There are no princes and kings like you in the world! Get out!"
Liu Chang was soon kicked out of Jiaofang Palace by Empress Lu. Liu Chang snorted disdainfully: If you don't give, you won't give, so why are you driving people away? Liu Chang then wandered around the palace aimlessly.
After wandering for a long time, I came to the former fifth brother's palace, and saw a little guy who was almost as high as the ground staggering towards me.
"Brother, hug! Hug!!"
Liu Chang lowered his head, and Liu Jian's face was covered with oil stains. He stretched out his hands towards Liu Chang, anxiously waiting for him to hug him.
Liu Chang was furious, pointed at Liu Jian and cursed: "There is a war! Are you still thinking about hugging me? There are no princes and kings like you in the world!"
"Wow~~~"
Liu Jian suddenly burst into tears, and Liu Chang hurriedly leaned over and picked him up.
"Okay, okay, stop crying. What are you eating? It's so dirty..." Liu Chang wiped his face and teased him for a moment. Liu Jian stopped crying and smiled at Liu Chang's face.
Then he started to chew, "You bitch, be good to me!"
Liu Chang shouted, and then he felt comfortable all over. It turns out that it feels so good to curse people.
Liu Chang hugged him and walked towards Xuanshi Hall.
At this moment, Zhou Bo was leading his soldiers, shivering under the strong wind of Dai.
"General! We are not allowed to raise flags or light fires... There are no enemies here at all, and we are still required to defend here? What does this mean?! Whose order?! The soldiers can't help themselves.
Oh, it’s too cold!”
The generals asked with some dissatisfaction.
Zhou Bo looked at them and said coldly: "I don't know why I am here..."
When everyone was about to ask more questions, Zhou Bo said again: "This is the order of Marquis Huaiyin."
"Oh, it's okay, General, we are going back to the camp."
ps: It’s like this. The masters suggested that I reduce the chapters and increase the number of words in each chapter. It is said that this can significantly improve the average reading and make readers more coherent. There will be no sudden interruption in the climax and the emotional connection.
More in place.
That’s why Lao Lang tried to combine the contents of two chapters into one today. What do you think?
