Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 233 Han Xin
"It's all Li Zuoche's fault!!"

"Why do you want to let the king go on an expedition?!"

In the Tang Palace, the ministers became a mess.

Feng Jing was the most angry. At the beginning, he opposed Liu Chang's personal expedition, but now it's better, the king has no whereabouts at all, and his life and death are unknown.Feng Jing was so anxious to pull his hair, the ministers were also uneasy, and they all discussed what to do.

Zhang Cang looked as calm as always. He shook his head and said calmly, "Everyone, don't worry, the captain has already brought someone over."

"Li Zuoche didn't want to save the king at all! My king is in Henan, but he went north from Dai County. This is clearly to kill the king!!"

It was Liu Guang who spoke afterwards. Liu Guang was also very angry. After the king lost contact, the pressure of many clans fell directly on him. His own brother, King Yan, wrote to him with very harsh words. , Said that if Tang Wang had an accident, he would not have a younger brother like him.

If it wasn't for the Taiwei's dissuasion, the State of Yan would have sent troops to Henan long ago.

The same is true of Zhao State. The King of Zhao has sent Zhou Bo to lead all the troops of Zhao State to Tang State, and wrote a letter to reprimand Zhang Cang, thinking that he is a traitor and should be executed!

But Li Zuoche was very happy. He was in Dai County at the moment, and he said that he wanted to summon Yan Zhao's army and give the Xiongnu a slap in the face.

Liu Guang sat with a pale face and scolded: "Wait. Wait, we are going back to Chang'an in the prison car."

There is no news from Chang'an so far, but Liu Guang can think of how angry the queen mother will be when she learns of this situation, and they are all finished.

Zhang Cang looked at the frightened ministers and shook his head, "The Huns have not been able to catch the king. These days, they continue to send more soldiers to the border, and they are suspected of blocking the way, which means that the king is still safe. If they are caught, they will not dare to stand in the way."

"Then let the captain open the gap!!!"

"The captain said that the Huns were also waiting for him, so they could only send troops from other directions to attract the main force of the Huns with the main army, so that the king could find a chance to break through."

Among the ministers, only Zhang Budo and Zhaoping did not seem to be in a hurry.

Zhang Budo said proudly: "If it's about fighting, I'm not sure, but if it's about running, there is no one in this world who can run better than my great king. In the past in Chang'an, we couldn't find the king when he ran away, let alone In the desert of thousands of miles, you can rest assured! I think the king is eating meat and drinking at the moment!"

The ministers did not pay attention to this arrogant person.

Duke Gai sighed, feeling a little worried and wondering where my disciple is suffering?

"Come! Eat!"

"Hahaha~~"

At this moment, Liu Chang hugged a Donghu man and slammed the meat in his hand into the opponent's mouth. The Donghu man was surrounded by Liu Chang, and he couldn't break free, and he didn't dare to break free. Forced to eat barbecue, Liu Chang used the half-baked Donghu people to follow people and talk with them reluctantly.

"I think you are also a strong man, why are you so afraid of the Huns?"

"What is there to be afraid of the Huns? In the previous battle, I personally killed 340 six Huns!"

The Donghu people's eyes were full of horror, but they didn't dare to speak.

Liu Chang looked at the herdsmen around him and said loudly: "If you are willing to follow me, the widow will give you weapons and food, and when you return to Tang, you will have titles, and you can be assigned to pasture livestock! If you are unwilling, Follow me, the widow will not embarrass you, you can distribute weapons and food to you, you can protect yourself, or you can escape!"

"However, be careful, the Huns are chasing me everywhere. If you are treated as knights by the Huns and come to fight against me, I will not be merciful!"

Liu Chang violently broke the bones in his hand and devoured it.

The surrounding tribesmen fell silent and looked at each other.

Liu Chang was full of food and drink, so he made everyone mount the horse. Liu Chang rode a high-headed horse and looked at the crowd in front of him, "How about it, is there anyone willing to follow me to the Huns?!"

"Your Majesty!! I am willing to follow!!"

The young man who had just been stuffed by Liu Chang stood up and shouted.

"I would too!"

"Kill the Huns!"

Many people shouted, and Liu Chang immediately distributed war horses and weapons to them, and asked Ji Bu to command them.And more people still did not dare to follow Liu Chang, and Liu Chang did not embarrass them, distributed them livestock and horses, and let them leave.

Ji Porridge waited for a long time, but could not wait for the figure of Mo Dun.

It was also impossible to find the trace of that group of enemy troops, which made Ji Conge very puzzled, could these people not be able to fly?Why did it suddenly disappear?
At this time, a general finally came to Henan with the knights.

Ji Cong went to meet him in person. This general was Ji Cong's cousin and a close relative of Mo Dun.

Ji Porridge saw that his expression was not quite right, as if he was holding fire.

"General. Why didn't my father come?"

"The armies of Tang, Yan, and Zhao are attacking us, and Da Shanyu is fighting against that cunning Tang man. He uses cavalry to drag our army, and then uses infantry to shoot to kill." The general said, and suddenly stopped , staring at the Ji porridge in front of him, scolding: "Let's not talk about this, what's going on here?!"

"Dad Shanyu is disappointed. This Tang army is definitely their elite. The horses are tall and fast. The knights are also very good at equestrianism. There are many people who can ride and shoot. The generals who lead them are very brave."

"Then have you found them?"

"No. It's as if they've disappeared without a trace."

The general sneered, "Of course you can't find it!!!"

"They are in our hinterland!! Why don't you stop them, you idiot, do you know what they did in the back?!"

When the general faced this "Prince", he was also rude and scolded. If it wasn't for his identity, he would have already started fighting, but when facing this elder, Ji Conge was very humble, and he suddenly realized, "No wonder I can't find it, it turned out to be north."

"you!!"

The general looked at the calm porridge in front of him and was very angry.

"The enemy is about to hit Dragon City! Are you still so calm?!"

Ji Cong chuckled and shook his head, "As long as the localities are prepared, they won't pose any threat. He will never have a guide in the depths of the desert. Besides, his army is very small, only about a thousand people. It is impossible to hit the Dragon City."

"More than a thousand people?"

The general said with a sneer: "Previously, Zuogu Duhou of Yuezhi took his tribe to support Longcheng on the way, and met the thousand people you mentioned."

"Zuo Guduhou was crushed by the Tang general, and the soldiers who ran out said that there were more than 5000 cavalry under that man's tent, each of whom could ride and shoot, could shoot left and right, and wore our armor and used our weapons. The Great Chanyu is about to go mad!!"

"This is absolutely impossible!!"

Ji Porridge was shocked, "If he had 5000 people, there would be no need for night raids!"

He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "He must have restrained the tribes and let them serve as his soldiers! I told my father long ago that we can't just kill them blindly, and let these tribes truly return to their hearts!"

The general was furious, "See what you mean, do you think this is Da Chanyu's fault?"

"Now is not the time to be held accountable. The soldiers in Henan can't leave, otherwise the Tang people will take the opportunity to attack how many people you brought?"

"How many people I brought has nothing to do with you. Next, I will fight against this Tang man!"

"How many men and horses did you bring?"

"Just wait for Da Chanyu to come and ask the guilt!!"

"I'm asking you. How many people did you bring?"

Ji Conge's face gradually became gloomy, and his eyes were fixed on the cousin in front of him.

"It's with you"

"Pfft~~"

"Forehead"

The general widened his eyes, covered his throat, looked at Ji Conge in front of him in disbelief, and fell to the ground, Ji Conge put away his knife, looked left and right, and ordered, "You guard here, if the Tang people attack, You can't love to fight, you can retreat while fighting."

"The Yuezhi people are close to the Tang people, beware of their attacks."

"When necessary, you can leave the land in Henan and meet with Da Danyu. Land is not reused. Do you understand that the most important thing is people?"

"Yes!!"

Ji Conge rode on the horse and walked slowly to the men and horses brought by the general. These people were full of fear or anger at the moment, but Ji Cong had no fear and walked in front of them alone. Looking at the soldiers in the army who were obviously not the Huns, Ji Cong couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

"You warriors!!"

"I am the son of Da Chanyu established by Heaven and Earth, Ji Porridge!!"

"The Tang people are different from us. They find grass in the soil to eat, but we eat meat!"

"If the Tang people defeated us, then they would farm all our land, and our livestock would have to starve to death. We are all people of the grasslands, one body, born on horseback, and also when we die. Buried where the horse stopped!"

"As long as those who are not from the Tang Dynasty are our Huns!!!"

"Our previous battles were just to make all the people who draw bows in the world as one family. This is our internal battle, but now the battle with Tang is a battle with outsiders. We are all brothers, even if we have personal hatred, but when someone wants to When we're going to destroy our home, we brothers should stick together!"

Ji Conge spoke loudly, and he said these words in Xiongnu, Dingling, Donghu and other languages.

"Next, follow me and drive out the wicked who want to destroy our hometown!!"

"Kill them!!"

Everyone screamed and raised their weapons high.

At this moment, in a barbarian camp, everyone is celebrating today's victory.

The people who come and go are all Hu people. There are all kinds of Hu people here. There are even Lin Hu people who can speak Zhao Guo dialect. They slaughtered livestock and lit bonfires with smiles on their faces. They never thought about it. , one day can actually kill the Huns so miserably.

They looked in awe at the man sitting in the middle.

Many people didn't know the name of the king, and they just learned from his generals and called out "the king" lamely.

This man named Dawang is really brave. In these days, they follow him to fight everywhere, winning consecutive battles. No one can survive from his hands and take the lead in rushing to kill. He is like a god and demon, invincible. The Hu people who had lost their courage and will to resist, under the leadership of Liu Chang, gradually regained their former fighting power.

They followed Liu Chang's knights and fought together, plundering livestock, eating meat and enjoying life every day.

Liu Chang is even happier. He has a guide and an army. The number of his troops is constantly increasing. These people are very familiar with the local area. They can always lead Liu Chang to find those who are oppressed and the Huns are very little clans, to save their kin.

Under their leadership, Liu Chang defeated one clan after another, and the accumulation of less and more, and the number of people under his command became more and more.

Luan Bu sat beside Liu Chang, "Your Majesty. Which direction are we going to go back from?"

"What are you going to do back?"

"Wouldn't it be better to wait for the widow's army to reach [-], destroy Modun, and then return to Tang?"

Luan Bu looked at him helplessly, "Your Majesty, all the non-Hun tribes here add up to less than [-]."

"It's not here, so go find it elsewhere."

Luan Bu shook his head and did not persuade him any more. Anyway, now they are not short of materials, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger. The king still has the ability and should have his own ideas.

"You don't have to worry that the Xiongnu will definitely be in a mess now. The captain will not miss such an opportunity. The more we fight here, the more advantage the captain will have!"

"I understand but the king shouldn't use himself as bait."

Liu Chang chuckled lightly, and said, "Luan Bu, a widow, was born in the family of an emperor. For the past ten years, I have been eating, drinking and having fun every day. When the children of other families are busy working on the farmland, I just sit back and enjoy the success. , I have never done anything. Now, I just have to be worthy of my background. The cattle and sheep that have been in existence for more than ten years can never be eaten for nothing. This is all to be paid back!"

"What the widow had seen along the way when they went to Yunzhong Land was the grave."

"The widow left in a hurry, and they dare not hold a banquet there as a king. If they can't even protect their own people, then what kind of king is that!"

"The widow wants everyone in the world to fear me, not because I am the son of Emperor Gao, but because of who I am!"

"This is the country my father left us. If anyone dares to destroy it, the widow will never spare him!"

Luan Bu was speechless for a long time, but quietly looked at the young Tang King in front of him.

My father, Han Gaozu, used to be a reliance, but now, it is more like a mission.

Luan Bu looked at the Hu people around him and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, these people can follow you in small battles, but they cannot fight difficult battles. If they encounter the main force of the Huns, I'm afraid they will be the first to flee."

"Then avoid the main force of the Xiongnu and just fight the battles that are beneficial to you, wouldn't it be better?"

"Besides, Taiwei Li and I, who is the bait, I can't draw a conclusion yet! Who knows if the widow is the first to cut off Mo Dun's head?"

But at this moment, Ji Conge was riding a horse, looking at the traces of the bonfire on the ground, and couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

The cavalry soon brought in a few frightened slaves.

These people shouted in horror: "It's the Tang people! It has nothing to do with us! We didn't rob the livestock! It was given by the Tang people!"

"Forgive me!"

They all shouted.

Ji Conge's face was very gentle, he smiled and let the cavalry let them go.

"We are a family, it is the Tang people who confuse you and want to coerce you into chaos. He is using those poor people as shields and letting them die. I won't blame you, you can go back to your own tribe. , these livestock, you also stay, don't be fooled by the Tang people."

"If you meet those people again, tell your fellow tribesmen that as long as they surrender, I can forgive their crimes, give them freedom, and never question their sins."

Ji Conge said with a smile, and asked them to send them away.

These people shed tears, thanked Ji Conge, and left in a hurry.

"Wait a moment!"

Ji Conge seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Do you know the name of that Tang general? What clothes do you wear?"

The few Hu people hurriedly said: "I heard many people say that he is the king of Tang riding a white horse and wearing golden armor."

"what?!"

At that moment, Ji Cong's expression changed greatly, his eyes widened and he asked, "Golden armor?!"

Ji Conge was suddenly restless, but his expression was very excited, he couldn't help laughing, "Quick! Quick! Quickly call me all the knights in Henan!! Let the surrounding tribes not think about protecting themselves, Send knights!"

The entourage was shocked and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, if the knights in Henan leave, then if the Tang people attack"

"Land is not important! Talent is important!"

"King Tang. Hahaha~~ This is God sending my biggest enemy to me! Let everyone come to kill King Tang, even if tens of thousands of people die, even if the Dragon City is lost, it doesn't matter! Kill King Tang! As soon as King Tang dies, the Han kingdom is in chaos, haha, this is an opportunity given to us by God!"

Ji Porridge is ecstatic, this is the first time he has not been able to be as calm as before.

He immediately mobilized all the surrounding tribes and asked them to look for these people. After seeing them, they would fight to the death immediately, even if they all died in battle, they could not escape!Those who can kill the opponent's generals will be directly crowned kings!The person who can kill ten of the opponent's soldiers will be directly named a marquis!
And Liu Chang quickly felt this change. When he saw more than a thousand Huns cavalry charging towards him, Liu Chang was really stunned. No, the Huns originally saw that they were not running. faster than rabbits?How can they still dare to charge with this number of people now?
Liu Chang was not afraid, and when he saw the other party charging directly, he also rushed over. The other party couldn't carry it for too long. Under Liu Chang's random killing, these people were quickly captured by Liu Chang's army. Submerged, in the end, there were not a few survivors left, and all the soldiers died in battle, but Liu Chang also encountered the biggest casualty after the attack.

Of the more than a thousand knights who followed him, more than 50 people were killed and more than a hundred were injured.

While everyone was happily packing up the spoils, Liu Chang felt something was wrong.

"No. This is to kill me at all costs!"

"Can't stay here! Run!"

Liu Chang's marching speed is very fast. On the way, by defeating various tribes, his number of war horses is still very exaggerated, and he can even rotate many times. This is why he can deal with the Huns in this desert for a long time. The Huns were better at running.

At this moment, Liu Chang set off towards the east. He obtained supplies by destroying tribes along the way, increasing his strength, and at the same time dealing with those crazy Huns.

Chang'an, in the Hall of Jiaofang.

Empress Lu looked at the minister in front of her, but her face was gloomy and uncertain.

"He has no whereabouts. King Yuezhi led people to attack Henan, but found that the knights here have all withdrawn. The Huns who confronted Li in the car began to increase in numbers. Zhou Bo set off from Yanmen and went straight to Longcheng."

"What should we do now?"

the queen mother asked.

Han Xin listened to these things, but his face was very calm.

"The local country is fighting against the Xiongnu, why is the Northern Army staying in Chang'an?"

"Then who do you think should be commanded of the Northern Army?"

"I."
