Hu Yanlang and Hu Yanyi were killed one after another, and the Huyan clan, known as the strongest family among the Xiongnu nobles, actually collapsed in an instant, which made people sigh. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Liu Yuan heard the news, he was at a loss, and the blow of Hu Yanyi's death to Liu Yuan was also quite heavy.

But it has only been three years, the old scenery has been gone, and the generals who once followed him have become dry bones in the grave, and Liu Yuan's fantasy of facing the south and turning his back to the north not only failed to come true, but instead lost his division and lost his land, and lost his troops and generals, which couldn't help but make Liu Yuan lament repeatedly.

Originally, Liu Yuan had a very positive attitude towards holding Jinyang, and he even thought that the battle of Jinyang would become the battle of Zhongxing of the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu army would turn the tide in this battle, completely disintegrate the attack of the Jin and Shu people, and open the prelude to the Xiongnu counteroffensive.

But after three battles, the Huns lost nearly seventy or eighty thousand troops, and Jinyang City also fell into the siege of the two armies of Jin and Shu.

How to fight the next battle of Jinyang, Liu Yuan has no bottom in his heart. Princess Huyan's family was already washing her face with tears all day long because of the death of her two younger brothers, but now even her brother Huyanyi is dead, and there is no heir in the Huyan family.

Liu Yuan was bored in his heart, so he could only hide out of the palace, trying to find a quiet place to be quiet.

Liu Yuan rode a horse at night, walking aimlessly on the streets of Jinyang, and the guards behind him saw that Liu Yuan's mood was extremely bad, and they didn't dare to come out, so they followed Liu Yuan from afar, silently following each other.

After walking through most of Jinyang City, Liu Yuan finally stopped his horse and happened to arrive at the gate of the palace of Cui You, the imperial historian. After Hu Yanyi died in battle, Liu Yuan appointed Cui You as the imperial historian. Liu Yuan was depressed in his heart, he just wanted to find someone to talk to, and Cui You could be regarded as his confidant, so Liu Yuan stepped forward to call the door.

"Who?" A voice of impatience came from inside the door.

Liu Yuan said: "Is Dr. Cui in the house?" ”

"It's so late, Master Cui went to bed early, let's come back tomorrow morning if I have something." The doorman paid attention to it and refused in one bite.

The guards behind Liu Yuan followed, and said loudly: "King Zhao has arrived, and Cui You will come to pick it up." ”

The guard's voice shocked the people of Cui's mansion, hurriedly opened the mansion door, knelt on the ground, and pleaded guilty vigorously.

Liu Yuan's expression was calm, he turned his head and glared at the guard, and reprimanded: "Doctor Cui is highly respected, how can you be allowed to shout here in his mansion?" ”

The guard was so frightened that he quickly bowed his head to apologize, and his face was terrified.

At this time, Cui You had already gotten up, but he was still wearing a middle coat, and he didn't have time to change his official uniform, so he rushed to Liu Yuan's front and bowed to the ground: "The minister Cui You didn't know that the king was coming, and he missed the welcome, and begged for forgiveness." ”

Liu Yuan clasped his hands together and said, "The late-night visit is already so disturbing that it shocks Dr. Cui's good dream, and it is rude for this king." ”

Cui You is over seventy years old, and older people have the habit of going to bed early, but even Cui You didn't expect Liu Yuan to visit late at night, he heard the movement at the gate of the mansion, and heard the next person report that King Zhao had arrived, so he hurriedly got up to greet him.

"The king came to the humble house, and our mansion was full of splendor."

Liu Yuan said: "This king can't sleep at night, he has been cruising around the city, and he is thirsty, so he happened to pass by the door of Dr. Cui, so he begged for a cup of tea." ”

Cui You immediately invited Liu Yuan to sit in the middle hall and ordered his subordinates to offer tea.

"Your Majesty, please use it." Cui You said respectfully.

Liu Yuan picked up the tea bowl casually, he was not really thirsty, he just took a sip lightly, and put the tea bowl on the table.

Cui You didn't know Liu Yuan's thoughts, and smiled indifferently: "The king can't sleep at night, he is too anxious, and in the long run, his heart is sad. ”

Liu Yuan smiled bitterly: "There are a bunch of troubles, how can I make this king calm down?" ”

Cui You said: "The king's worries are nothing more than the gains and losses of Jinyang, if there is a perfect plan, it will definitely solve the king's anxiety." ”

Liu Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Doctor Cui has a clever plan?" ”

Cui You shook his head and said: "In the situation of Jinyang, there is no way to return to the sky, and the ministers have nothing to do." ”

Liu Yuan's expression also darkened, and he sighed and said: "This king also knows that Jinyang is already a dead end, the three defeats of Jiexiu, Xinkou, and the West Bank, and the Yuan of the Huns are gone, but I can't imagine that this king is dominating the world, but today he has also fallen to this step, and he has the intention to kill the enemy, and he has no power to return to the sky." ”

Cui You said: "Why should the king be merciful and compassionate, the world is impermanent to win the army, victory or defeat is just a common thing in the army, and it is not too late for the king to regroup and clean up the rivers and mountains on a different day." ”

Liu Yuan smiled bitterly: "Today, does this king still have the capital to fight again?" ”

From the beginning of the party, the Huns lost troops all the way, the battle of Hanoi, the battle of Gaodu, the battle of Huguan, until the recent battle of Jiexiu, the battle of Xinkou, the battle of Fenxi, it can be said that the Hun army has been defeated in successive battles, several battles, the Hun army has suffered heavy losses, and now the strength of defending Jinyang is less than 100,000 people. The Jin army and the Shu army combined, it has been more than 180,000 people, between this and the other, the balance of power between the two sides has been reversed, the Hun army is no longer comparable to the Jin and Shu armies in terms of number and morale, and the next battle of Jinyang, Liu Yuan has no chance of winning.

Cui You said: "The king has no certainty of victory, and why should he defend Jinyang, while Yuci has not been lost at this time, and the two sides of Jin and Shu have not yet formed a siege of Jinyang, why not lead the army to withdraw from Jinyang to avoid its edge?" ”

Liu Yuan frowned and said: "Jinyang is the foundation of the Huns, if you abandon it, you will be completely lost, hundreds of thousands of Huns will be like rootless wanderers, where will they go?" (To be continued.) )
