The weather is gradually entering winter, and the Southern Xiongnu have also ended grazing.

For steppe nomads, the most hated thing is winter.

In winter, the grasslands are desolate, the pastures have withered, and the weather is good, so they can migrate all the way in search of the remaining pastures. In the event of a snowstorm, even grass will be covered by heavy snow. Before that time, they will lose a lot of cattle, sheep and horses.

Without cattle, sheep and horses, the nomads could not survive the winter, so they had to go out and loot the surrounding area.

Therefore, winter is the time when nomads concentrate on plundering.

Under normal circumstances, nomads would not attack large cities, they would only divide their forces and plunder the villages and towns outside the city. Enough plunder, then collect the troops and go back.

For the plundering of the nomads, the guards of the border counties are very clear. Most of the time, they stuck to the city, turning a blind eye to the invasion of the nomads. It's just that they pity the surrounding common people, and every plunder of the nomads is their end.

In recent years, the state of the Han Dynasty has become increasingly empty, and the border counties have basically become nothing, almost becoming hunting grounds for nomads.

Although the Southern Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty on the surface, they also secretly plundered the surrounding counties over the years.

Now that the Han Dynasty has experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Liangzhou Rebellion, the national strength is empty. The Southern Xiongnu naturally intensified.

So under the banner of avenging the little prince, Qiangqu Khan led 30,000 Xiongnu archers and horsemen to Yunzhou.

Why choose Yunzhou, because Yunzhou is rich.

After nearly a year of operation, Guo Jia has built Zhongshan into a place of gold.

The Huns were also very hot-eyed.

Besides, Yunzhou Assassin Shi Guo Jia is the murderer who killed the little prince, for the public and private, Qiangqu Khan naturally can't let him go.

Therefore, the Southern Xiongnu took advantage of the empty winter to gather a large number of soldiers and horses to kill Benyunzhou.

……

As soon as the Southern Xiongnu sent troops, Guo Jia organized a fast horse to report to the imperial court.

As a member of the party, Guo Jia also has the right to write a book.

As expected, he was immediately pressed by the great general He Jin and the great Sima Yuan Kui.

However, Guo Jia seems to have thought about it a long time ago, and at the same time as he published the book, he also sent people to spread it around Gyeonggi.

Soon, the news of the Southern Xiongnu's entry into Kouyun Prefecture spread throughout Luoyang.

The Ten Standing Servants got the news and immediately sent it to Emperor Ling of Han.

"What?"

Emperor Han Ling, who saw the news, couldn't help but be taken aback.

Outrageous!

Emperor Han Ling slapped the table.

This Southern Xiongnu is a subordinate of the Han Dynasty, and they actually dare to enter Kouyun Prefecture?

"Where did the news come from?"

Emperor Han Ling asked puzzled.

Under normal circumstances, such military secrets should be reported by the lieutenant and the general.

What puzzled Emperor Han Ling was that He Jin and Yuan Kui did not move, but the ten permanent servants sent them first.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Rang hurriedly said: "The news of the Southern Xiongnu entering the Kou has spread throughout Luoyang. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all knew about it, but His Majesty did not know. What the general and the captain are considering, the old slave doesn't know. However, what the old slave knew was that the Huns were killing His Majesty's people in the border counties and attacking the cities of the Han Dynasty. ”

The Ten Permanent Servants have been at odds with the courtiers for a long time.

With the opportunity to divide the emperor, Zhang Rang naturally will not let it go.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhong also said in a low voice: "Such a big matter, the general and the lieutenant actually hide it from Your Majesty. Didn't you wait for the Huns to hit the city before letting Your Majesty know? ”

Zhang Rang opened his head, and he was naturally happy to fall into the well.

Bastard stuff!

Emperor Han Ling scolded.

Although he is a fighter in the odds, he is not a fool either.

Don't report such important news?

He Jin and Yuan Kui, the two bastards, want to set up the rhythm of him, the emperor.

"Come on, order the general He Jin and the captain Yuan Kui to meet you!"

Emperor Han Ling said menacingly.

Promise!

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong responded, and the corners of their mouths showed a smile that was difficult to detect.

Less leaning!

He Jin and Yuan Kui came to the palace.

"Minister, He Jin/Yuan Kui, knock to see Your Majesty!"

The two of them saluted, and then sat aside.

Before the Song Dynasty, after the courtiers met the emperor, they all had seats. Although there were no seats in the Han Dynasty, there were mats, and courtiers could kneel on top of the court.

However, before entering the temple, you must take off your sword and your shoes.

Of course, courtiers who monopolize power do not have this rule, such as Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao later, people can go to court with a sword. That is, there is no need to take off your sword and shoes.

That's already a manifestation of the monopoly of power by a supreme minister.

Obviously, the current He Jin and Yuan Kui do not have this treatment.

Emperor Han Ling's face was ugly.

Yuan Kui is just that, he is a representative of the family, and it is understandable that he is working against him.

But there was something wrong with He Jin doing this.

He Jin is the elder brother of Empress He and the eldest brother of Emperor Ling of Han.

For this eldest brother, Emperor Han Ling has a lot of trust in him, and he has won several levels in a row for several years, and he didn't ask for a penny.

Otherwise, how could a pig killer enter the court and become a general of the dynasty?

"He Jin, Yuan Kui. One of you is a general, and the other is a captain, in charge of countless military horses of the Han Dynasty. Why did the Southern Xiongnu not report it? ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Han Ling couldn't help but slap the table.

Seeing the emperor rising, the two couldn't help but be surprised.

Although the Southern Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty, they secretly plundered the surrounding counties every year in winter.

Of course, it is also a small fight and left, which will not cause any major trouble.

The important ministers of the imperial court also knew it, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

But this time it was a little different, the Huns sent out 30,000 archers, which was almost all their strength.

Under normal circumstances, Yuan Kui would have reported it a long time ago, but the target of the Southern Xiongnu was Yunzhou, and it was that damn Guo Jia.

Yuan Kui immediately persuaded the general to press the news.

Guo Jia, the bastard, became the wealth of the Yuan family, and killed the children of the Yuan family, Yuan Kui was about to clean him up, and then the Southern Huns suddenly jumped out.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Your Majesty, the news of the entry of the Southern Huns into the Kou has already been received by the minister. However, there are still some doubts about the accuracy of the message. The minister has already sent someone to investigate, before the results come out. In order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, the minister consulted with the general and suppressed the news. As long as the investigation is clear, His Majesty will be played immediately. ”

Yuan Kui stood up first.

is worthy of being a reader, and his words are not leaky.

gently unveiled this fault, and also highlighted his wise and martial arts overall view.

Playing with lip service, it is natural that these readers are more powerful.

A touch of the upper lip and a touch of the lower lip is a result.

A touch of the lower lip and another result of the upper lip.

Otherwise, wouldn't those books have been read in vain?
