Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 262
This is a flat grassland with cars lined up neatly everywhere. As a simple city wall, there is still a distance between the cars and the cars. This is not a city wall, it is just used to stop large-scale cavalry charges. The car can be used as a baffle, effectively blocking the enemy's riding shot.

There is also a different kind of prosperity here. Children are running around outside the camp, shouting loudly, women are living and cooking, and there are merchants selling things. .

Since the last time he fought against the Tang Kingdom, Modun has rarely appeared in front of the public. There are rumors from tribes all over the country that Modun is not long in his life, and some say that Modun is actually dead long ago.However, no matter how many such rumors there are, no one dares to really try to rebel.

Even if Modun experienced a major defeat, his prestige on the grassland was enough to suppress these people. As long as he was still alive, the huge Hun Empire would not fall apart.

In the main tent, Mao Dun sat on Hu's bed, wearing a thick leather coat, his face was pale and bloodless, listening to the report of his generals.

"District Yan Kingdom, dare to send troops?"

After listening to the latest news, Modun couldn't help snorting coldly.

"Who is the commander-in-chief?"

"I heard it's Zhou Bo."

Hearing the name, Mo Dun was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Isn't he Zhao Guoxiang? Why is he everywhere?!"

"I don't know about Zhao. Yan obeyed Tang's orders. Zhou Bo certainly obeyed Tang's orders this week. Da Chanyu, who led the troops to attack, should we send troops too?"

Mo Dun frowned and shook his head, "The land of Liaodong, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, there is no need for it, and the Yan Kingdom is weak, even if they expand more, it will be difficult for them to expand." Surrounded by a few generals, he walked out of the tent, feeling the fragrance from the grassland, Modun took a deep breath greedily, and walked quickly to the west. Here, there is a simple fence. There are a lot of craftsmen.

"How? Has it been made?"

"Da Chan Yu!!"

The leader hurriedly prayed to see you, and then pointed to the war horse beside him and said, "It's already done, can you try it?"

They are imitating the stirrups of the Tang Dynasty. These craftsmen from the Xiongnu come from all over the world, including the Xiongnu, Donghu, Zhao, Yan, and even the Western Regions. Because of the frequent technical communication, the Xiongnu's technology It has been making steady progress, especially during the period of the rise of Mordun, the technology of iron smelting and other technologies of the Xiongnu also rose at the same time, and even armored hundreds of thousands of cavalry, becoming the real overlord of the grasslands.

Modun didn't go to try the ride, he just waved his hand, "You can try it yourself. I have other things to do. There are a lot of good things in Tangren. No matter how much material and money you need, I can provide it to you!"

"As ordered!"

Mo Dun walked around the camp before returning to his camp.

After the last battle, Modun became very weird. Instead of cultivating Ji Porridge with all his strength, he began to deliberately neglect Ji Porridge. From time to time, he gave some rewards to other sons, and deliberately stimulated them, so that they should have children that they should not have. However, in the face of Modun's actions, Ji Conge didn't seem to care at all.

At present, Ji Conge is still in the west, constantly sending envoys to the Western Regions, and implementing a series of strange decrees within the tribe, it seems that he is not worried about Chanyu's position at all.

Mo Dun sat down, put away his shaking hands, looked at the general beside him, and asked, "Is there any news from Ji Conge?"

"No. The rest of the kings are training their troops and suppressing the disobedient tribes, but he alone has not made any movement."

"Oh, then you don't have to send anyone to inquire."

In the palace of the Tang Dynasty, all the sages have arrived, and the young leaders have gathered together.

Zhou Yafu brought Fan Mi, Lu Lu, Zhou Shengzhi, Lu Tazhi, Xiahouzao and other sages from the army, and Chen Mai and Guan A also deliberately asked Chen Ping to leave and came to see the king.It was rare for everyone to gather together again, sitting on both sides of Liu Chang, but at this moment, with the increase of age, they could not be as casual as before, and the atmosphere was a little quiet.

Sitting in the upper seat, Liu Chang looked at the group of sages who were suddenly restrained, and said displeasedly, "They all grew up stealing chickens and dogs together. What kind of sages are you pretending to be here?!"

Xiahou Zao said angrily, "Your Majesty, the situation is different now. I'm afraid I've said the wrong thing, and I'll be punished with a military stick when I go back later."

"Yeah, we soldiers, sitting with the captain, how can we dare to be casual?"

Xiahouzao and Fan Yan were talking, but they all pointed at Zhou Yafu.

Zhou Yafu pouted, "The military has its own military law, so there is no need to mention it at this moment."

"only!!"

Xiahouzao bowed respectfully towards Zhou Yafu, but he was still sarcastic. Liu Chang rushed down a few steps and kicked Xiahouzao's ass, Xiahouzao hurriedly avoided, Liu Changxiao scolded: "You This fellow, why do you keep holding on to Yafu? He is a lieutenant colonel, and he doesn't have a straight face, so how can he command the army? You brothers, don't help him, and make fun of him?"

"Your Majesty is about to be the Son of Heaven, isn't he still shy? Could it be that this captain is more honorable than the princes?"

"If you try to fight with the widow, if you don't obey the order, the widow will beheaded directly. Yafu is still considered light!"

Chen Mai also opened his mouth and said: "The army must be strictly controlled, and the stove cannot be harmed by this."

"Okay, I know!"

Xia Houzao said, he looked at Liu Chang again, and said, "Your Majesty, you have to be careful in the future, don't start it at every turn, you have the power to raise a cauldron, what if you accidentally kill me? You are worthy of me. Father?"

"That doesn't matter. If he is killed, maybe your father will come to thank me and clear the door for him, and no one will come to shame him in the future!"

"Hahaha~~"

Everyone laughed, and Zhou Shengzhi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I was standing at the bottom that day, and when I saw you holding up the cauldron, I was so excited that I was speechless, and when it was over, I even hugged and cried with Lu Lu. !"

"Fart, why do you have to choke your neck when you hug each other? You clearly want to strangle me, and the tears that I was strangled by you came out!"

"Hahaha~~"

Everyone laughed, the atmosphere quickly relaxed, and everyone entered the state of being a group of sages again.

"Your Majesty, you are so domineering. You threw the cauldron and said that you want the big man to be in good weather. It feels like the king is giving orders to the heavens, ordering the heaven to let the big man be in good weather, otherwise he will be killed. Where is the Son of Heaven, this is the Father!!”

Fan Yan said excitedly.

"Why, are you envious? Do you want to say that a man should be like this?"

"You little one, shut up!"

Seeing the commotion of the ministers, Liu Chang also smiled happily, and immediately someone brought the food, and everyone ate, Lu Lu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this meat is really not as delicious as my mutton. , If you have the opportunity, you can go to my house with the king to borrow sheep!"

Zhou Shengzhi said disdainfully, "Your Majesty is in power now, what else do you need to borrow? Just take the army to grab it, and go and copy Jiancheng Hou's house!"

"Why don't you raid your home?"

Everyone shouted, and Fan Fan asked curiously: "Your Majesty! Back then, King Wu of Qin also held a tripod, and King of Chu also raised it. Will the king be called King Wu of Tang or King of Tang after his death?"

Chen Mai almost squirted the juice out of his mouth, "You! You traitor."

Before Chen Mai's words were finished, Liu Chang said with great interest: "The widow still thinks the Overlord is nice, how about the Overlord?"

"That's not right, the king wants to be the emperor, how can he be the king? It should be the emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

"Badi doesn't sound good. Isn't there Emperor Taizu Gao? Why don't we call it Emperor Bazu Wu?"

"Fart! Do you know the posthumous method? Just talking nonsense here, the king should be called the clan, but the king has great achievements in expanding the territory and can be called the ancestor. The king also has the merits of governing the country. Emperor Wen!"

"Emperor Wen, does it sound like a king?"

"Then take one!"

"The posthumous title should be in line with the king, eh, let me think about it."

Liu Chang excitedly talked about his posthumous name with the sages, and what he said was a lot of fun. Chen Mai tried to interrupt the birdmen several times, but he couldn't speak. The king is young and strong, you guys Negotiating a shitty posthumous name here!
Liu Chang debated with them for a long time, but couldn't decide on a good posthumous title. He was a little tired from chatting, so he looked at Zhou Yafu next to him and asked, "When you came, did the captain have any orders? "

"No Zeng. The king doesn't know anything about the northern land. Someone in Shuofang and other counties reported that someone pretended to be a cavalry of the Tang state and went to loot the merchants in the Western Regions. What the congee sent was to ruin the reputation of the Tang Dynasty and make the countries in the Western Regions dare not get close to the Tang Dynasty. Ji Cong also sent people to infiltrate the counties and counties of the Tang state, instigating the local Hu people to rebel. After a few months, they were arrested. We arrested more than ten people"

"Ji porridge? Is that the original prince of the Xiongnu?"

"Correct."

"Aren't all the Xiongnu tribes vying for the crown prince? Why is this fellow still fighting against me in Tang Dynasty?! This fellow is nothing compared to his grandfather!"

Liu Chang was a little angry, "When I have dealt with the matter here, I will definitely go to meet him again!"

Zhou Yafu shook his head, "Your Majesty, this porridge is more cunning and has more means than Modun. He is good at attracting people's hearts. He heard that he eats and lives with his tribal knights, and his confidants are willing to do it for him. Fighting to the death. He also imitated the Tang country everywhere, and established a corresponding military merit system. He established a fifteenth-class title. As long as he beheaded, he can get the title. The captain said that this fellow is even more difficult to deal with than Morton. He inherited Morton's position."

"It's best to win over and support the other sons of Modun, and come together to suppress this jerk!"

"Have the Huns started to engage in military exploits?"

Liu Chang's face was dazed, and then he became furious, "This Shuzi dares to copy the original system of my Tang Dynasty!"

Chen Mai cleared his throat, "Your Majesty... Actually..."

"How is it?!"

Liu Chang looked at him angrily, and Chen Mai said seriously: "It's nothing, they just copied our system!"

"This jerk, the widow will never let him go."

Liu Chang seemed to remember something, stroked his chin, and said, "This matter, the widow has already found a solution, so you don't have to worry about it anymore!"

"What's the king's plan?"

"Hahaha, you will find out soon!"

Liu Chang said proudly, Qunxian can no longer drink because of their different identities now. After all, they are still responsible for stationing in Chang'an. After eating the meat, they said goodbye.After sending off the sages, Liu Chang went to the street without stopping, passing by the wine shop, and seeing the beautiful woman in front of the wine shop, Liu Chang could only bear the pain not to look at it, the hateful rebel, so that he can't be on the road now. The restaurant is busy with state affairs!
Liu Chang hurriedly returned to the palace and walked quickly to the Xuanshi Hall.

At the moment, Chen Ping was leading the people to review the performances from all over the world. Chen Ping was eating tea calmly, and the young officials were busy with all their efforts. Seeing Chang Liu coming, several officials hurried to pay their respects, and Chang Liu smiled. Let them continue to work, he sat in front of Chen Ping.

"Chen Hou! I have something very important to discuss with you!"

"Oh?"

"Modun of the Xiongnu, according to the current news, there are four sons who have real power, one of them is called Ji Conge, and he is now imitating the Tang state everywhere."

Liu Chang seriously told the story of Ji Porridge, and just now said: "This fellow has more means than his grandfather, it is really difficult to deal with, the level of Modun's fighting is second only to my master, and this Ji Porridge is a war fighter. He may not be as good as Mao Dun, but in other respects, he is indeed even more terrifying than Mao Dun, and if he is allowed to ascend the throne, the Xiongnu will be even more difficult to deal with.”

"Your Majesty wants to support Morton's other sons to take his place?"

"Yes! That's it!"

Liu Chang said excitedly, Chen Ping nodded, and said in a low voice: "This is also a solution, Mo Dun is old, and I don't know how long he will live. He is in a hurry to seal his son, probably because his life is not long, the king is ready. How to win over and support? What's the best way?"

"The trick for the widow is to let Chen Hou come up with a trick for the widow!"

"Oh, your majesty's strategy is truly extraordinary."

Chen Ping pondered for a moment, and then said: "To do this, we must support a person who is stupid enough to be controlled by the king and cannot raise tigers. In addition, we have to find a way to gain the trust of the other party and feed them. But the messenger of my big man can't feed it too much. I'm afraid that he can't do it well. Are there any Huns in the king's place?

Liu Chang frowned, pondered for a long time, and then called out: "Yes! Back then, the widow single-handedly broke through a large tribe with 10 people, and captured their leader. It is said that he was the great witch who sacrificed to Maodun. This person should still be in the Tang Kingdom."

"Great witch?"

Chen Ping thought for a moment, "Then ask the king to bring this person over and leave the rest to the minister."

"Okay! Then leave it to Chen Hou!!"

Liu Chang was very happy. After all, Chen Houna was a veteran in "conspiracy and subversion". As soon as he made his move, Liu Chang immediately felt stable.Just as Liu Chang was laughing and bragging to Chen Ping, a valet rushed into the Xuan chamber hall in a panic, "The Queen Mother ordered you to go to the Marquis of Wuyang mansion immediately."

After hearing the words of the valet, Liu Chang thought of the worst outcome.

Liu Chang didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, and hurried out of the palace.

The carriage hurried towards the mansion of Marquis Wuyang, Liu Chang looked down, the surrounding noise and prosperity could no longer affect him, he hurried to the familiar mansion, got out of the car, and just walked into the mansion, he heard Aunt's cry.

The servants of the Wuyang Hou family bowed their heads and remained silent. Liu Chang passed through them and walked quickly into the inner room.

The queen mother was also here, and her aunt was holding her and wept bitterly. Fan Yan, dressed in armor, and Fan Shiren dressed as scribes sat on both sides of Fan Kuai. Fan Yan was okay, but Fanshi people had already cried to tears.Fan Kuai lay on the couch weakly, and could only hear the faint moan.

Liu Chang walked quickly to Fan Kuai's side, stretched out his hand, and held Fan Kuai's hand tightly.

"Last night he said he wasn't feeling well. I didn't care. This morning, I suddenly couldn't get up and started explaining my last words."

The aunt cried, and the queen mother comforted her gently.

In fact, Chang Liu has always known that his uncle's health is not good. When he met him a long time ago, Chang Liu knew it. Therefore, he deliberately let Fan Kuai win the competition by letting Fan Kuai win the competition. He didn't respect Fan Kuai, he just didn't want his uncle's heart to grow old with his heavy body.

Everyone was with Marquis Wuyang. The imperial physician ordered several times, and they went in and out, but they were helpless.

When Liu Chang asked about his condition, the Imperial Physician Ling couldn’t help but sighed. It was a miracle that Marquis Wuyang survived to this day. If it was an ordinary person, it would be very difficult to move around in such a situation, not to mention that Marquis Wuyang has always been eating and drinking, and he can still fight with Chang Liu in his spare time.

I don't know how long they stayed, Fan Kuai slowly opened his eyes.

"Father!"

"uncle!"

Fan Kuai, Liu Chang and the others shouted loudly. They surrounded Fan Kuai and helped him put their hands on him. Fan Kuai's eyes swept over the children around him one by one. They looked so tired and searched the crowd for a long time. , his eyes finally found the person he was looking for, Lu Yu.

Aware of his gaze, Lu Yu rushed to his side in a hurry, ignoring everyone here, grabbing Fan Kuai's big hands with both hands and holding them tightly.

"Don't scare me don't scare me"

Liu Chang saw his aunt's tears kept falling. Fan Kuai struggled with all his strength. The big hand stretched out to Lu Yu's face, but he couldn't help her wipe away the tears at all.

He seemed to have a lot of things he wanted to say to Lu Yu, but his mouth was open and closed, but he just groaned vaguely, and couldn't say a word to comfort his wife at all.

At that moment, the cast iron man cried helplessly.

Just like a child, tears kept falling.

As the last tear slid down his face, the man who had been charging ahead all his life, first to break through the city, and as strong as a tiger, finally stopped moving.

His sad eyes fell on Lu Yu's face, and he didn't move, the tears just hung on his face.

I couldn't even say a word to my children or my lover.

Everyone started to cry, including the Queen Mother, who couldn't help but turn their heads.

Liu Chang looked at his uncle in front of him seriously, and said solemnly, "Uncle, don't worry. I will take good care of Qing, my aunt, and my wife and the people of the city. As long as I am here, no one can bully them. I will treat my aunt like my grandmother. I won't let her suffer any grievances."

Liu Chang stretched out his hand and closed Fan Kuai's eyes in person.

The aunt was just crying, and the queen mother soon asked her to take her to rest first. The people of Fan City hugged her father's body tightly, and they didn't want to let go of anything. , reprimanded him loudly, "Why are you crying?! You are the son of the Marquis of Wuyang! We would rather bleed us from the Marquis of Wuyang"

Fan Yan took a deep breath, forcibly holding back her tears, and reprimanded the people of Fan City word by word.

"Stop talking. Let him cry."

Liu Chang grabbed Mrs. Fan's shoulder, "I'll arrange for someone to come over to deal with the funeral. You go and accompany my mother. Leave the matter here to me."

"I am with the king."

"It's okay, you go."

Mr. Fan nodded and turned to leave. Mrs. Fan turned her back to the crowd and walked faster and faster, but tears could not help falling. She opened her mouth and sobbed silently.

"Mom, I'll take you out first for the matter here."

When Empress Lu left here, Liu Chang held her hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

ps: This can't be regarded as a knife, it's a normal death of old age. Compared with history, Lu Yu was killed because of the Lu family, and Fan Kui died because he was almost killed by Emperor Gao. This is already very good. Results.
