When Liu Qi became emperor, many princes were abolished.
The descendants of these princes are all potential enemies.
In addition, the conflict between Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and the Emperor was well known throughout the city.
There is nothing that can be done about this. A prestigious and powerful nobleman like Zhou Yafu certainly cannot be left to threaten the next emperor.
You must know that these nobles have criminal records. When they killed Zhu Lu, what they did was seen by Liu Heng and Liu Qi and his son.
A spider hiding in the shadow began to weave its web silently, connecting these people bit by bit.
Outside Jinyang City, the Huns were in the royal court.
Shanyu, a military official with a weathered face but sharp eyes like an eagle, stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Jinyang City in the distance.
Jinyang City was first built by Dong Anyu, a retainer of Zhao Jianzi during the Spring and Autumn Period, on the banks of the Jin River, surrounded by mountains and rivers. It was called Jinyang because it was located in the Yangtze River of Jin.
After that, the three families were divided into Jin, and the State of Zhao regarded this place as its capital.
Then Zulong swept across Liuhe and established this area as Taiyuan County.
When the Han Dynasty came here, they first set Taiyuan County as Han Dynasty, and moved Han Wangxin to seal it here.
Later, King Xin of Han defected, and the old gangster combined the land of Daibei and Taiyuan County to form the Kingdom of Dai, and granted it to Liu Heng, also known as Emperor Wen.
At this time, there was no such title as Emperor Wen, because the temple name would not be officially used until the Liu She era.
History books say that Liu Heng's life was difficult when he was in Daiguo. These are all words to glorify the king.
Living in Jinyang City, surrounded by the wealthy Taiyuan County, how could life be difficult?
The most famous thing here is naturally the Li family, which rose from Jinyang hundreds of years later and swept the world.
If anything else, it would be the extremely tragic Jinyang offensive and defensive battle between the Song and Jin Dynasties a thousand years later.
At this moment, the military minister Shanyu obtained the military defense map of Dingxiang Yunzhong and caught the Great Wall Army by surprise, thus achieving an unprecedented breakthrough.
His royal court even went south to the outside of Jinyang City.
"The last emperor of the Han Dynasty was the king here before he ascended the throne." Looking at Jinyang City from afar, the ambitious military official taught his son Yu Shan, "If we can capture this place, we will give the Han people an unprecedented opportunity."
A heavy blow!"
The Xiongnu Empire was respected by the Great Chanyu, but administratively it was divided into three parts.
The strongest one is the royal court directly led by the Great Chanyu, whose sphere of influence directly faces the Han Dynasty County, Dingxiang County, Yunzhong County and other places.
On the left is the command of King Xian on the left, facing the ancient prefecture of the Han Dynasty, and on the right is the equal ground to the north.
On the right is King You Xian, who controls Henan, the Hexi Corridor, the Western Regions and other places.
Yu Shan was the prince of the Huns and the Xian King of Zuo.
His Zuo Xian Wang Wang Ting had followed the Great Chanyu's Wang Ting before, so when he went south to the Kou border, he naturally followed him all the way.
"Great." Yu Shan bowed and saluted, his eyes full of fiery light, "Leave it to me to conquer the glory of Jinyang."
The military minister Shan Yu nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, very energetic! Those Dingren, Kunjian, Xinli, and Qushe people will all be given to you to take with you to attack the city."
The tribes he mentioned were all vassal tribes conquered by the Huns.
The same characteristic is that they are mainly hunting and nomadic, and occasionally there are tribes that can engage in farming.
When attacking a city, there is naturally no need for cavalry. These farmers, hunters and fishermen are the most suitable.
In the past, those responsible for doing these tasks in the Han Dynasty had always been the Aries Department and the Loufan Department.
Unfortunately, the Aries tribe had been completely wiped out by Li Yunze, and the Loufan tribe was subordinate to King Youxian. At this time, he was far away in Henan, harassing the Shangjun garrison, and providing support to the Shanyu's troops.
Now if we want to attack the city, we have to use these semi-savages.
"Big."
Yu Shan also knew that Jinyang City was extremely strong, so he immediately suggested, "I want to use the men captured on the road."
This time they invaded, because they had internal agents who provided important information, the Huns broke through the weak points and poured into the Han Dynasty at lightning speed.
Many Han people did not have time to escape into the city and were captured by the Huns.
According to convention, these Han people will be assigned as slaves to each tribe that sends troops.
Yu Shan requested these people at this time for only one purpose, which was to use them as cannon fodder to fill the city.
The military minister Shanyu hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
"Can."
The only reason why he handed over the predetermined spoils of war from each tribe to his son was that he wanted to gain supreme prestige by conquering Jinyang City alone and consolidate his position as the prince of the Huns.
You must know that the younger brother of the military minister Chanyu, King Yizhixie of Zuoguli, has always been restless.
If the Huns want to rise to power, bloodline is one aspect, but what is more important than bloodline is the strength and prestige in their hands.
Yu Shan was excitedly preparing to attack the city, while the military minister Shan Yu withdrew his smile and eyes, and turned to look to the distant south.
The main army of the Han Dynasty, said to be 300,000 troops, has moved north from Guanzhong and entered Taiyuan County. At this time, it was only more than 200 miles away from the royal court of the Great Chanyu.
Although heavy troops were sent to stop the attack, the military minister Shan Yu was not confident that he could withstand it.
In addition to the strong combat effectiveness of the Han army, the most important reason is that there are too many Han soldiers.
The population advantage of the Han family made the military ministers despair. When facing the Xiongnu, it was a crushing advantage.
During this period of time, Han troops from Hebei and other places continued to pour in through Taihang Jiuxing.
As time goes by, more and more Han men will inevitably gather and go to the battlefield. By then, even if the Huns can fight one against ten, they will eventually be completely engulfed.
Therefore, the military minister Shanyu's plan was very simple: sack Taiyuan County, break through the wealthy Jinyang City, seize a large amount of supplies and people, and then use the power of victory to negotiate peace with the Han family.
It would be best to get benefits from the peace talks, but it doesn't matter if you don't get them, because you will definitely have to retreat when the time comes.
"King of Zhongshan? Let me see what you are capable of!"
Han army camp in Pingtao County (Pingyao).
Former general Dou Ying issued orders in an orderly manner, arranging various Han armies to violently attack the Xiongnu tribe in front of them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And all the orders he issued were using Li Yunze's general seal.
"General, Captain Guangwu would like to see the general."
"The general is busy with military affairs and has disappeared."
"General, Lieutenant Shangdang arrived with his troops and asked to see the general."
"The general is busy with military affairs and has disappeared."
"General, all the officers from the Young Mansion have arrived to escort the grain and grass. Please see the General."
"not see!"
"General."
"Not seen, not seen, not seen at all!"
The reason why Dou Ying did not let everyone see Li Yunze was naturally not because he hid Li Yunze, but because the general was not in the army at this time.
Long before entering Taiyuan County, Li Yunze had quietly left the army with more than 10,000 elite troops and entered the Luliang Mountains.
His purpose was simple: to go all the way north from Luliang Mountain to Yunwei and other places to block the retreat route of the Huns who penetrated deep into Taiyuan County.
The terrain of Sanjin is very special, especially in Taiyuan County.
On one side is Taihang Mountain and on the other side is Luliang Mountain.
There is a valley and plain between the two mountains. Once the retreat is blocked, it will be a dead end!
Li Yunze always strives for stability in battles, but it's not because he doesn't know how to use clever strategies.
In the past, to seek stability, simply crushing directly was enough.
Now, you can win by crushing them directly, but the Huns and horses can run very fast. After defeat, you will most likely just run away, and you won't be able to destroy many enemy troops.
Therefore, when Li Yunze sent out troops, he had already planned this strategic detour in order to destroy the main force of the Xiongnu Chanyu here in Taiyuan County.
Once the Xiongnu Chanyu's troops are eliminated, the other Xiongnu tribes on the grassland will immediately fall apart.
In addition to taking away the soldiers and horses of the Zhongshan Kingdom, Li Yunze also selected thousands of elite members of the Northern Army to send troops together.
Although the march in the mountains was difficult, the morale of the army was very high because Li Yunze was also in the army.
This is the general who leads the world's troops. He is the king of Zhongshan Kingdom, the future prince, and the future emperor!
The king is not afraid of going into ravines, so the soldiers naturally have nothing to complain about.
In the afternoon of this day, the army set up camp on the bank of Fen River.
The sergeants were busy setting up camp, sending out sentries, burying pots and making rice, and other tasks.
He did not lead civilians and did not alert the people along the way. Naturally, these things could only be done by the sergeants.
Naturally, Li Yunze didn't need to do these tasks. He sat on the horse with a golden sword and silently looked at the Fen River flowing not far away.
Go south along the Fen River and reach the intersection with the Jin River, which is Jinyang.
He had received news from Jinyang and knew that the Huns were forcing Han people to fill the city.
Li Yunze, who had an iron heart during the war, naturally would not feel guilty because he did not go directly to rescue Jinyang, but chose to take a roundabout way to cut off the road.
But it was obvious that this affected his mood.
As soon as he sat there, he was enveloped in a gloomy aura, and no one dared to come close.
However, someone still has to call the king when eating.
Master Fuyan and others signaled to each other, but no one was willing to make the first move.
Finally, everyone unanimously pushed young Wei Qing out.
The young Wei Qing naturally didn't understand so many twists and turns.
Everyone asked him to invite Li Yunze to dinner, so he walked over and said so.
Li Yunze, who was awakened, looked up and saw Wei Qing. He smiled slightly and motioned for him to sit down on the grass, "What do you think can be done to effectively deal with the Huns who have many cavalry?"
Sitting cross-legged on the grass, Wei Qing carefully recalled what he had read in the military book.
After a moment, he responded, "Your Majesty, the Huns have many horses and can run very fast. If you want to defeat them, it is best to choose a favorable location and limit their movement. Just like this time, as long as the Huns are sealed in Taiyuan
County, they are dead."
"Um."
Li Yunze nodded noncommittally, and then asked, "What if there is no favorable location? How can we defeat the Huns on that vast grassland?"
Wei Qing immediately responded seriously, "Use a box truck!"
Li Yunze invented the van, which caused great repercussions in the military.
Many military generals and captains were optimistic that as long as there were carriages, the Huns would have nothing to fear.
Li Yunze was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "The carriage is not as invulnerable as imagined. After all, it moves slowly. As long as the timeline is extended and the crossbow arrows and food carried by the army are used up, they will still be unable to escape the fate of defeat."
"The boxcar can only play its greatest role when it has a clear goal. But the prairie is really too big. Even if the slow-moving boxcar finds the royal court of the Huns, they can directly
Move away, it's not a city. Drag it away
In the past period of time, it naturally failed without any attack."
Wei Qing saluted sincerely and said, "Please, Your Majesty, clarify my doubts."
"To deal with cavalry, it's natural to use cavalry against cavalry!"
