Chapter 578: Hetao Plain

Half a month after Liu Wei captured the Xiongnu scouts in the Yanmen area.

Hetao, the court of the Xiongnu king.

In the king's tent sat a young Hun man dressed in sheep's clothing, the hair on both sides of the Hun sideburns was braided into thin braids, and the hair on the back of his head hung down naturally.

His face is slightly purple color characteristic of the Huns, but compared to other Huns, he is much fairer.

This person is not another person, it is the Hun Yu Luo Shan Yu after his death, enthroned as Da Shan Yu's Hu Chu Quan.

Born as the younger brother of Yu Fuluo, he got the title of Da Shan Yu from his brother, and Hu Chuquan also used a lot of means.

Yu Fu Luo, as a Xiongnu Shan Yu, still had some awe of the Han Dynasty, and in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yu Fu Luo even sent troops to help the Han conquer the Yellow Turban.

Although Yu Fuluo united with the Baibo army in the later period and did some things to plunder the Central Plains, the Huns at that time did not dare to be as unscrupulous as they are now.

Unlike Yu Fuluo, Hu Chuquan has no reverence for the Han royal family, and after winning the title of Da Shan Yu, he has always had the heart to enter the Central Plains.

At this time, Yuan Shu's envoy came to the court of the Xiongnu and spread rumors to him that Juciliu Nu had been assassinated in Luoyang.

Although the right Xianwang went to Bei that day, he had already reminded Huchuquan that the current Xiongnu were still weak if they wanted to enter the Central Plains.

But Hu Chuquan didn't believe in what he said at all, he only believed that the Huns' iron cavalry was the most elite iron cavalry on the earth, and the Huns were driven by the Han Dynasty in the past, which was an indelible humiliation for the Huns.

knew in his heart that Liu Nu might not have been assassinated, and later someone brought back the news and told Hu Chuquan that Liu Nu was living in Luoyang in a good manner, and there was no assassination at all. Hu Chuquan still ordered to lead an army of 100,000 to the Central Plains.

An army of 100,000 people, for the Central Plains, many local heroes can be gathered as long as they have a little time and wealth, but for the Huns, it is a strong iron army that accounts for almost half of the entire Xiongnu.

But even though it was such a strong army, when it approached the Central Plains and encountered Zhao Yunbu of the Luoyang Army, it was defeated one after another, and had to ask the royal court to send reinforcements.

The war has broken out, and after the Huns suffered the loss of the Luoyang army, Hu Chuquan also regretted it a little, regretting that he easily moved troops to the Central Plains.

However, by now, he was already difficult to ride a tiger, so he sent a team of scouts into the Central Plains, intending to find the way and send a large army to reinforce him.

What Hu Chuquan was waiting for was not the detailed march map sent back by the scouts and the information on the deployment of troops in the Central Plains, all he was waiting for was a huge wooden box, a big box that the king of Luoyang ordered someone to send him!

Sitting in the king's tent, Hu Chuquan pinched his chin with one hand, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and a pair of eyes stared at the box that had been opened.

In addition to him, there were many Hun generals sitting in the tent.

When the box was opened, everyone present was stunned.

What the box contained was not the silk or gold, silver and jade that they imagined the king of Luoyang had sent to show his goodwill, but hundreds of men's lifebones that had been cut off.

"What else did the King of Luoyang send?" Staring at the wooden box filled with the lifeblood of the Huns, Hu Chuquan was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth to ask the Huns who came to report the news.

The Huns, who received the box from the messenger sent by the Luoyang army and delivered the box to the king's tent, obviously did not expect that after opening the box, they saw this bloody scene.

The frightened Huns forgot to send the box, and a Luoyang soldier handed him a piece of cloth.

Hearing Hu Chuquan's question, the Huns hurriedly took out the cloth from their arms, held it with both hands, and bowed down and handed it to Hu Chuquan.

Behind Hu Chuquan, there were two Hun maids wearing snow-white sheepskin shirts and fanning Hu Chuquan with fans.

The Huns took out the cloth full of words, and a Hun maid put down the fan, walked in front of him, took the cloth in her hand, and turned around and handed it to Hu Chuquan.

Taking the cloth, Hu Chuquan opened the cloth, glanced at the handwriting on the cloth, frowned, and said with a grin: "The king of Luoyang is really too deceitful, could it be that he doesn't know that he doesn't understand the Chinese characters?" ”

As he spoke, Hu Chuquan threw the piece of cloth to the ground, frowned, and shouted out of the tent: "Come on, give this box to Ben Shan Yu and carry it out!" ”

"Wait!" As soon as the two Hun soldiers guarding the king's tent entered the tent, an old Hun man sitting on the left side stood up, strode to the cloth that was thrown on the ground by Hu Chuquan, bent down to pick up the cloth, and unfolded it and carefully browsed it.

"Big Order!" After reading the words on the cloth, the old man said to Hu Chuquan: "This letter from the king of Luoyang is to inform Da Dan Yu that my Great Hun scouts have killed innocent people and abused women in the Central Plains, and he has executed all the scouts, and informed Da Shan Yu that if the Huns slaughter the civilians of the Central Plains again, the King of Luoyang will count the heads, and then attack the Hetao, exchange one Central Plains person for fifty Huns, and kill my Great Hun people......"

"King Zuogu Liwang recognizes Chinese characters well!" With one elbow propped on his thigh, Hu Chuquan leaned over, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the old man who picked up the cloth, and said in an expressionless cold voice: "I want to see what the king of Luoyang is capable of, you can use the head of a Central Plains person to exchange for fifty heads of my Great Huns!" ”

"King Zuoxian!" The muscles of his cheeks shook violently a few times, and Hu Chuquan shouted loudly to a Hun young man sitting on the side: "You immediately order 100,000 soldiers and horses and go to the aid of King Youxian!" Zhao Yun must be defeated, wave the army to Chang'an, and then enter Luoyang. ”

"Obey the orders of Da Dan Yu!" As soon as Hu Chuquan's words fell, a Hun younger than him stood up and responded with a fist.

The Huns who responded looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and this person was Liu Bao, the son of the former Hun Shan Yu Yufuluo.

In the battle for Da Shan Yu, the young Liu Bao was unable to compete with his uncle Hu Chuquan, and finally lost the opportunity to become Da Shan Yu and was named King Zuo Xian.

After getting Hu Chuquan's order, Liu Bao just responded with his fists, and King Zuo Guli, who had picked up the cloth before, said to Hu Chuquan: "Don't be angry!" ”

"Don't get angry?" As soon as King Zuogu Li opened his mouth to persuade him, before he could say the reason, Hu Chuquan stood up suddenly, raised his hand and pointed to the wooden box sent by Liu Wei, and said to him: "Does King Zuogu Li know what is in that wooden box?" ”

Hu Chuquan was furious, and King Zuogu Li didn't dare to fight immediately, just bowed down, silently waiting for Hu Chuquan to finish his temper.

"What is in that box is the eggs of six hundred and seventy-two Hun men!" Pointing to the wooden box, Hu Chuquan's cheeks twitched violently, and he said to King Zuo Guli: "How can Ben Dan Yu endure such a shame?" ”

Roaring at the king of Zuogu Li, Hu Chuquan turned his head suddenly, and shouted to Liu Bao: "Immediately order the army and attack the Luoyang army!" ”

Liu Bao answered again, turned around and strode out of the king's tent.

Seeing this, King Zuo Guli, who wanted to persuade Hu Chuquan, knew that the matter was irreparable, and let out a long sigh, so he didn't say anything more.

Since Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty defeated the Northern Xiongnu, the Southern Xiongnu attached to the Han Dynasty and settled in the Hetao area all the year round, the Southern Xiongnu have never been strong.

The 200,000 army is all the strength that can be used for the Southern Xiongnu.

Hu Chuquan made a desperate bet and sent all the troops to the battlefield into the Central Plains, once the Central Plains army approached the Xiongnu royal court, I am afraid that the Southern Xiongnu will be completely erased from the world.

Although he is very clear about this, he can call Chuquan the big single Yu of the Southern Huns, born as the king of Zuogu Li, and all he can do is to point to the words.

In the court of the Xiongnu king, Hu Chuquan made the decision to lead an army of 100,000 led by Liu Bao to advance to the Central Plains, and Liu Wei had already advanced to the edge of the Hetao with 50,000 Luoyang troops at this time.

Standing on the border between Bingzhou and Hetao, looking at the vast field with abundant water and grass in front of him, Liu Wei felt a broad atmosphere in his chest.

When he killed 672 Hun scouts, Liu Wei was like Shura, and at that time, he gave people a feeling that as long as he looked at it more, he would be creepy.

The matter has passed, Liu Wei's mood has gradually calmed down, and as he leads the army to the junction of Hetao and Bingzhou, his mood is more and more relaxed.

The king of Luoyang, who was calm and rarely angry in the past, reappeared in front of the officers and soldiers of Luoyang.

Behind Liu Wei, there was a heroic Guan Qing in military uniform, and a little farther away was the carriage with Cai Yan and Liu Jian parked.

In the carriage, Cai Yan raised his hand to lift the curtain and looked out.

She has a different kind of love for the mountains and mountains, the vast mountains and rivers, and at the first sight of the endless grassland in front of her, Cai Yan fell in love with this verdant wilderness.

Kneeling opposite Cai Yan, Liu Jian was playing with a small puppet that Guan Qing had gotten for him out of nowhere.

This puppet is very ugly, and it can even be said that even its limbs are very rough, and the overall shape is like opening a few eyes on a thick branch and inserting a few thinner branches.

Even though the puppet is so ugly, the two-year-old Liu Jian still has a lot of fun.

He never spoke, and when someone spoke to him, he would simply nod or shake his head in response.

Looking at the endless green grassland outside the car window, Cai Yan reached out and hugged Liu Jian into his arms, pointed out the car window, and asked Xiao Liu Jian: "Jian'er, do you like it here?" ”

Following Cai Yan's fingers to look out the window, Liu Jian slowly shook his head.

In the eyes on his immature little face, there was a look that a two-year-old child should not have, looking out the window, Liu Jian's eyes revealed a little uncertainty.

However, Cai Yan didn't notice this, when Liu Jian shook his head, she took Liu Jian in her arms and said to Liu Jian: "Jian'er is a good child, don't say nothing, speak earlier, your father will like you more!" ”
