Chapter 673 Hu Qi reappears
"Okay! I was still a little hesitant when Gongda recommended the emperor to be the person who was sent to Jingzhou on the same day. Now it seems that Gongda is really unique and the emperor's trip is extremely effective."
After reading a report, Liu He was very pleased.
Xun You said humbly: "Your Majesty has made contributions to his plan, but I dare not take credit for it."
"Gongda said it is right. For example, the character of the Cai siblings and brothers is not known at all. Your Majesty can understand the temperament of the two of them and then make such a plan. Not only does it cause a rift between Liu Biao and the Cai clan, but it also makes Jingzhou station heavy troops at the junction of Jingyi to restrain the strength of Sichuan and Sichuan. At the same time, it also investigates the attitudes of the major families in Jingzhou towards the court, laying a secret line for the future recovery of Jingzhou. It will kill three birds with one stone. Your Majesty is really wise."
Cui Jun sincerely exclaimed.
Liu He smiled and said, "Haha, Cai Mao colluded with his sister inside and outside, and was truly a domineering Jingzhou. When the emperor went to Jingzhou, how could they not be suspicious? Once the suspicion arises, they will take action. With action, we can take advantage of the opportunity. Just let the emperor take advantage of the danger."
Cui Jun said: "Your Majesty sent all the deputy commander of the Flying Eagle Guard to personally protect him. How could a few assassins hurt Liu Zongzheng?"
He said this well. Now the You brothers have reached 95 and 93 points respectively, and have also learned a special stunt - assassination: when conducting a secret force operation such as assassination, the force explodes by 5 points.
In addition, the soul-chasing sword specially created for them, as well as the exquisite equipment such as sleeve arrows, daggers, etc., not to mention as assassins, even if Cai Mao came on his own, he would have died and never lived, so he would naturally be enough to protect Liu Yu.
"Now that Jingzhou is restrained, Liu Yan is afraid that he will not dare to divide his troops to assist Liangzhou again. Without the tens of thousands of reinforcements from Yizhou, it will be much easier to destroy Han Sui. After all, the soldiers of Sichuan and Shu are often good at fighting in the mountains and forests in Liangzhou. If they often launch sneak attacks, it will be a bit troublesome."
Cui Jun's words attracted both Liu He and the two Xun to deeply agree.
"Now, only the matter of winning over the tribes of the Western Qiang is left. I don't know when this matter will be completed."
Liu He couldn't help but feel anxious. Such an unaware of the deadline is the most anxious.
Xun Yu said: "The court has issued a purchase order for the specialty products produced in the Western Qiang area in the commercial bank. Dozens of caravans have been going to Xiliang a few days ago. In addition, Yunhai County is becoming more and more normal. Among them, there are also occasionally Western Qiang tribes coming to trade in Hu City. It is expected that within a year, they can contact many tribes, making them accustomed to trading with the commercial bank."
"Yes. The reason why Dong Zhuo and Han Sui and others in the past was that the court and the Western Qiang tribes were mostly hostile relations, and they fought for many years and had few business travelers. In order to survive, they had to cooperate with these traitor ministers. Now with abundant supplies from the court and the business, why should they continue to rely on Han Sui? Without the support of the Western Qiang tribes, with only 100,000 troops, Han Sui, it is probably enough for General Guan and his troops to annihilate them."
After Cui Jun's analysis, Liu He also agreed very much.
"Well, now it seems that I can only keep waiting."
Xun Yu said: "I hope that within this year, Liu Yan will not bewitched other princes and resist the court."
Liu He was a little disdainful of this: "If there is, so what? Since he dared to resist the court, even if Liu Yan was not bewitched, he was afraid he was not a loyal person. He would sooner or later, and it might be a good thing for them to jump out by themselves, so that I would not have to find any reason when I sent troops."
Xun Yu suddenly realized: "Your Majesty has a clear understanding, but I am short-sighted."
"By the way, now all the princes who came to Beijing to congratulate him have arrived. I wonder when His Majesty will meet them?"
After hearing this, Liu He thought for a while: "Since they have arrived, let them rest in the inn for five days, and then hold a grand ceremony in five days."
"I obey the order."
Two months later, people from all over the country were busy harvesting corn and wheat. The entire Beidi County was full of a bumper harvest.
Lian County is the northernmost county town among the Beidi County. Not far from this city, it is a vast desert. Many people in the city are naturally no exception at this time, busy in the fields.
However, just as everyone was busy harvesting food, the ground seemed to start to vibrate.
The people were very puzzled, straightened their backs and looked around for some reason.
"What's going on? Could it be that the Earth Dragon has turned over?"
"No, the Earth Dragon will not turn over so easily."
"What else can it be?"
Just as everyone was talking, suddenly, the alarm bell sounded from the guard post in the distance.
"Clang...clang...clang..."
All the people's faces turned pale.
"Oh no, some robbers are coming!"
Since Liu He pacified the Sili area and the Xitau Plain, robbers and the Hu people have not appeared for many years. The people have almost forgotten that they have heard the sound of alarm bells again, and instantly pulled their thoughts back to their former fear.
Whether it is the robbers, bandits, or the Hu cavalry, they are all demons who kill without blinking. There is almost no difference for these people.
In a short time, among the fields that had just had a peaceful scene, all the people shouted for help and fled in scattered places.
After a while, a large number of cavalry appeared in the wilderness not far away. They were covered in animal skins and shouted "Ula Ula" in their mouths. Everyone was carrying a master's craftsman, holding a scimitar in their hands, full of murderous intent.
"Take tread..."
On the road of Luoyang Palace, a figure hurriedly ran forward. He raised his hands above his head and held a piece of silk in his hand. It looked like a report sent from another place, but he didn't know what it was.
Outside the palace gate, Xun Yu walked out quickly, took the report from the man, opened it and changed his face instantly.
He hurriedly turned back to the hall. When Liu He saw his expression, he asked, "What's wrong? But what's the matter? Now is the harvest season in various places, what can I do? Are there any princes who declared that they would support Liu Yan's rebel thief?"
Xun Yu didn't say anything, but walked to Liu He and respectfully submitted the report.
After Liu He took the report, Xun Yu spoke.
"The Southern Xiongnu suddenly sent 40,000 cavalrymen, divided into two groups, and confiscated the two counties of Beidi County Lian County and Lingzhou County, robbed more than 300,000 stones of grain, killed more than 6,400 soldiers from two cities, and massacred more than 14,000 people..."
Liu He's eyes suddenly widened, and bloodshot instantly filled his eyes.
Then, he angrily photographed the report on the imperial desk. The heavy slap sounded a little scared Xun Yu and the other two.
"The Southern Xiongnu...didn't they escaped from civil strife many years ago and then fled to the desert? Why did they come back at this time?"
Since Emperor Wu of Han, the Han Dynasty has attacked the Huns for years, which has quickly split into two parts of the north and south. The Northern Huns have gone far away, leaving only the Southern Huns in the northern border of the Han Dynasty, and they have surrendered and rebelled.
A few years ago, due to the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Empire was in chaos, and the Southern Xiongnu were also ready to move. The then Shanyu continued to surrender to the Han court, which aroused many nobles of the Hun tribes and launched a rebellion to kill him. The two sons of the Shanyu, one of whom remained in the Hun tribe, and the other fled everywhere, seeking refuge.
The person who was running away from home was named Luan Tiyufuluo. According to the original history, he would seek the help of Emperor Ling of Han, request to be appointed as the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu, and send troops to help him to suppress the rebellion. How was he rejected by Emperor Ling of Han, and then after a series of changes, he finally chose to rely on Cao Wei.
His younger brother Luan Tihu Chuquan, the man who stayed in the Hun tribe, was elected as the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu after his elder brother passed away. This younger brother also chose to submit to Cao Wei, and the rights of the Southern Xiongnu were gradually overshadowed by Cao Wei. Not long after, the Huns were destroyed in name only. Until later, Liu Yuan, the grandson of Yu Fuluo, appeared, and briefly rebuilt the Huns during the Southern and Northern Dynasties under the name of "Han and Zhao".
However, due to the emergence of Liu He, the situation in the Han Dynasty had undergone tremendous changes, which was very different from the original history, so he did not pay much attention to what the situation in the Southern Xiongnu is now. Since the killing of the Zuoxian King of the Huns, the Huns have disappeared. He only thought that they were far away from the border of the Han Dynasty, so he did not take it seriously. He did not expect that they suddenly made a comeback now.
