The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

In the first year of Emperor Jing's reign, in the third month of spring, he pardoned the world, rewarded the people with a first-class title, and bestowed two thousand stones with the title of You Shuzhang, the Prime Minister of the vassal states.

In summer, there are five days of feasts across the country, and folks can buy and sell wine. As the beginning of the new year, the big man is immersed in a cheerful atmosphere.

And this relaxed and peaceful atmosphere and the demand for banquets across the country promoted the flow of commerce and trade, and caravans shuttled from north to south and east to west.Naturally, no one will really notice why these goods come and go with full loads, but the number of horses transporting the goods is decreasing, and no one will notice the frequent personnel transfers of low-level officials in counties and counties, and no one will pay attention to them. An official named Feng Tang quietly came to Yuyang County to take over the post of prefect, while Feng Jing, the imperial historian, was transferred to Pingcheng County.By the time they noticed, Dahan's northern line of defense had already been constructed.

Since then, a star-studded defense line of the Han Dynasty has been formed-this line of defense, which is called the "steel line of defense" in later generations, encountered a surprise attack by the Huns just after it was completed.

In May, an earthquake.

The Huns took advantage of the chaos and sent troops south to attack the Han Dynasty. Their purpose was very clear, that is, to rob salt and rice.

Last year, the Han and the Huns cut off ties, and the results of the previous intermittent material containment were extremely remarkable. The salt storage on the left of the Xiongnu was in trouble, and they had to buy salt from the right. The ministry swallowed and used higher prices than in the past in exchange for less salt than before.

This result made most of the Huns very dissatisfied. They protested to the Great Chanyu at the tribal assembly that year, but just as the Great Chanyu did not suppress them back then, this time the Great Chanyu did not stop the Huns from the right. price-raising behavior.

So after the meeting in Cage City, the tribes on the left of the Xiongnu hit it off, and they decided to teach the right some lessons, and before teaching the right, they had to raise armaments.

What could be simpler than asking the wealthy old neighbor next door for money?

The tribes of the Xiongnu have more or less suffered from the losses of the Han frontier army in the past few years, but they exchanged information and formed an alliance during this event. Relying on this behavior as a surprise attack, in their imagination, they must directly Invaded the border city of Han Dynasty, burned, killed, looted and did whatever they wanted.

They know that the frontier army is strong, but the Huns cavalry have their stronger self-confidence, and the most important thing is that they are definitely unprepared for their surprise attack on the Han army, and they can drive straight in all the way.If the speed is fast enough, they might be able to enter the city before their city gate falls.

However, they were wrong. The Han army had been waiting for their arrival for a long time.

Feng Tang, who was stationed in Yuyang, looked at the dust approaching from a distance, stroked his beard, and laughed.This veteran who was over seventy smiled very heartily, he raised his halberd, "Boys, some people say that our Yuyang's defense depends entirely on Wengcheng, do you accept it?"

"No!" "No!!" "No!!"

"Do you dare to follow the old man to charge forward?"

The sound of mountains and tsunami behind him gave him a satisfactory answer. Feng Tang got on his horse and said, "Let the old man win the first victory for His Majesty! The generals obey the order—"

Horseshoes crushed the setting sun, and the cavalry of the Han army in black armor charged forward, and several horses galloped one after another, crossing the banner belonging to the Huns.

The icy blade cut across the opponent's throat, killing people one after another when they were close to each other. The leather armor of the Xiongnu was like ordinary cloth in front of the knives of the big man, but the arrows of the Hun cavalry fell on the cavalry of the Han army, but they fell one after another, and did not harm them. With the slightest injury, the weapon held by the leader is like a magic soldier, and the place he passes is like no one, killing people is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, and only one person has the murderous intent of thousands of troops.

The raiding troops led by this person rushed in repeatedly, cutting and separating the Huns cavalry troops, intending to divide and break through.

"What kind of armor did the Han people use? It can't be broken at all!"

"Idiot, shoot the horse!"

"The horses are no good, their horses are armored! They are too rich!"

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Even if the command of the Huns was tearing apart, the alliance army had no tacit understanding at all, and the evacuated team could hardly guarantee the formation.This has not been a problem in the past.In their inherent impression, the Han army was lame and couldn't catch up at all.

However, the arrows that fell overwhelmingly, the tripping rope that was pulled up halfway, and the louder and louder hoofbeats behind them told them that they had made a big mistake.

Even if the Huns cavalry consciously regrouped at this time, it was too late.Their horses were suddenly frightened, and they were not commanded at all. A Hun soldier who was looking back and shooting was thrown to the ground by his beloved horse standing up. He only felt a pain when he landed. Could it be that he just hit a stone? superior?

Before the Xiongnu soldiers had time to confirm, they saw a flash of white light, and his throat had been pierced by a halberd.

If this Hun soldier is given a little more time, he will definitely see that the ground is full of thorny copper bumps. This kind of thing has a name in later generations called barbed caltrop, which is the nemesis of cavalry. Its mature body can be regarded as a horseshoe. Even the war horses can't stand this thing, let alone the Huns' horses are directly stepped on by their fleshy palms.

The horse was not stable, and the cavalry at this time had no saddles or stirrups, so they couldn't deal with such sudden accidents when their hands needed to let go of the bowstring.

After this Hun soldier, one after another the Hun horses were frightened and threw the people on their backs off the horses. The big Han cavalry was also very emotional when they saw the Hun cavalry in front of them turning their backs on their backs.

This thing was conceived by their military officer. It is said that the military officer is still a scholar, hey - what a sinister scholar.

but……

we like!

This battle lasted less than an hour, and before the afterglow in the sky faded, the remaining Hun cavalry seized the opportunity to escape and rushed into the grassland.It was an unwise decision to enter the grassland at night, and the Han army could only stop at the front. They lit up the prepared torches one by one and began to organize the battlefield, clean up the corpses and record their military exploits.

Feng Tang, who had been charging ahead from the very beginning, circled his horse. His beloved horse trotted all the way, its hooves ticking on the grassland.The man touched his face and wiped the blood from his hands. He laughed and spit out the blood foam that accidentally leaked into his mouth, "Happy!"

"Prefect!" Jun Cheng rode forward.Feng Tang glanced at him sideways, "How about casualties?"

"Less than [-]% are all minor injuries." Jun Cheng's face was full of joy, "It's a big victory, and the brothers don't think it's enough."

"If you haven't fought enough, you can't fight anymore." Feng Tang looked at the dark grassland with some regret, "I will send people to search on the grassland after dawn. The clothes and weapons on these Hun soldiers are collected and sent to Chang'an as evidence of crimes. Let the brothers rest well tonight. Tomorrow we will go to the grassland to see if there is any meat to eat, and if there is no meat, we can find some soup."

"Here!"

"You asked Mr. Dou to write the documents for Chang'an. He has a dark heart. By the way, let him write more miserable. Don't give the old man face, just say that we suffered heavy casualties and huge losses. Anyway, whatever happened, it's best to be able to do it. Those who make people cry and watch... oh, no one can see it, anyway, it is the kind that makes people agree to our expedition after seeing it."

The old general leaked his ultimate goal in a few words, he laughed a few times, "I can't wait to drag my old bones to the north, and when I die, I will see those people of mine. Good brother, what a face."

However, it is a pity that Yuyang is far away from Chang'an. Although they were indeed the first to ignite the flames of war, they fell behind Yanmen County.

Yanmen County, as an old neighbor of Yunzhong County, has been widely harassed for a long time in the past, the reason is very simple, Yunzhong County has Wei Shang as the prefect.Wei Shang is not a soft persimmon, and if he accidentally bites into it, his teeth will collapse, so Yanmen County has become the border county with the fastest refresh rate of prefects for a long time.Not only the prefect of the county, but even the assistant officials below are frequently updated. This time, many Huns cavalry habitually came to pinch Yanmen County first. Who knew that the current prefect of Yanmen County had changed a long time ago, just gearing up Zhou Yafu was waiting for them to come.

Zhou Yafu has trained his troops vigorously since he was stationed in Yanmen County. He has a great reputation. .

These generals all won the battle one by one, but the volunteers went to the crying concert together, and the "crying" and "kneeling concert" were used so that everyone who saw it felt that the situation was too serious.The news of the emergency at the northern border of the Han Dynasty soon spread to Chang'an City, and the young people in Chang'an City were furious.

After several years of talent selection tests, Chang'an City has taken on a new look. More and more young people gathered here. Those who want to be recruited to be the staff of these novice officials.

The young people are full of blood, and all of a sudden the streets and alleys are full of war.There are also a few students who abandoned their pens and joined the army. They packed their luggage and called their friends to buy weapons and wanted to rush to the border.Not only these students, many wealthy households also went to the government to ask for donations of food and materials.

Today's big man is by no means what it used to be.

The big Han people living in this era never felt that they were weaker than the Huns in their bones, and the victories in several previous battles gave them confidence, and their belligerence was extremely strong.Since the news spread, Liu Qi has also received several petitions from feudal lords, and these memorials can be piled up with the war petitions from generals and prefects of border counties.

Liu Qi's health has not been very good these few days, he was half lying on the couch, and the prince read these memorials to him.

"Lu Wang Liu Yu, please fight."

"Jiangdu King Liu Fei, please fight."

"Changsha King Liu Fa, please fight."

"Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu, please fight."

……

"Wei Shang, governor of Yunzhong County, please fight."

"Zhou Yafu, Governor of Yanmen County, please fight."

"Feng Jing, governor of Pingcheng County, please fight."

……

Liu Che licked his lips that were a little dry from reading, and only felt a little light between his chest and abdomen that was rapidly turning from a spot of light to a prairie fire.He took a deep breath, put down the memorandum, picked up his robe, went to his father's bed and paid homage: "Son Liu Che, please fight."

In autumn and July, Yingzhuo dazzles the sky.

Liu Qi ordered three armies to go out from Yunzhong and Shanggu in Yanmen, and ordered two young generals, Li Guang and Dou Wan, to lead the army to supply them.

For the first time, the big man turned from defense to offense, and entered the grassland in the north.

This time the expedition was tentative, and the main purpose was to find out the way. However, the Han army was so lucky that they encountered several large tribes on the left one after another. The Han army fought repeatedly and captured all the tribal leaders. Announced that they would lead the tribe to surrender to the Han army, and they were willing to lead the way for the Han army. As a show of sincerity, they led the Han army to attack several Zahu tribes.

Finally, when the Han army entered Chang'an, the mighty contingent of captives attracted the attention of the well-informed Chang'an people.

In winter and October, the Xiongnu launched a retaliatory attack on the border of the Han Dynasty, and the left and right united to harass the border of the Han Dynasty. However, after half a month, the tide of the Huns' enemy troops gradually receded, and the defending Han soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. He also involuntarily wiped the sweat from his forehead.

What happened to these Huns?Such a large-scale retreat of the Huns is obviously not normal.

Dou Ying, who was summoned to inquire, pondered for a moment and then said: "I dare to guess that there is something wrong with the Hun King's account."

"... Wang Zhang?" The courtiers of the big man looked at each other and came to a conclusion together with aspirations - oh, could it be that the military minister Shan Yu collapsed?

For any dynasty, the civil strife next door and the death of the emperor are the best news. However, when the spies placed by the big man in the Xiongnu returned the news, everyone fell silent.

It is a pity that the military minister Shan Yu is still alive and well, but the great witch of the Huns is dead.

What is a dead witch?The big Han people scratched their heads.At this time, someone who knew the situation of the Huns came to explain to them. For the Huns, the death of the great witch was very serious. In particular, it is said that the great witch did not designate his heir before his death. There is a lot of trouble.

The shaman's apprentices also come from various tribes. People in these tribes naturally support the shaman superiors of their own tribes for their own interests. But at the same time, some people think that every shaman can designate his successor in advance. Why can't this great shaman?

There is obviously a problem with this!

At the beginning, everyone guessed what the big witch did that was despised by the heavens, but gradually the topic turned strange. Some people thought that the big witch's death was not a normal death, because the big witch didn't know that he would die at this time, so he Did not have time to designate descendants.

Since the great witch didn't die normally, how could he die at this time?Of course it was because the big witch was murdered!

Witchcraft is the belief of the entire tribe. At this moment, almost all the tribes stood opposite the king's tent, and they asked the chief order to investigate the matter.At the same time, someone proposed to check the body of the great witch, but learned that the body of the great witch had been burned.

This is so strange!Although Da Shanyu said that this was the request of the Dawu, because the Dawu is a witch who divination by fire, so he also wanted to return to the flames in the end, but the other Hun tribes did not listen to their explanations. They thought it was the military minister Shan Yu killed the great witch.

He is a blasphemer!

The military minister Shanyu overturned the table more than once, he knew very well that it was a basin of sewage, but the timing of this basin of sewage was so perfect that he was unable to fight back for a while.

Da Dan really didn't do anything to Da Wu.Although he intends to weaken his power, but he only wants to seize power out of power, which does not mean that he really does not believe in God.The big witch died normally, but the reason for his death was not glorious-he was strangled to death by a woman, on the bed.

In order to cover up this, the military minister Shan Yu hurriedly disposed of the corpse.

However, even if he summoned the tribal warriors to explain, not many people were willing to listen, even if he asked the apprentice of the great witch who was the first to see the scene to explain, these people said that the apprentice was seduced by him by inheriting the position of the great witch Man, his words don't count.

Shanyu's patience finally ran out.

"My royal father has encountered the same thing as you." Princess Nangong said.At this time, she was burning incense for the Great Chanyu. The spices were brought over by the Han envoy last time, but there are not many of them now. Nangong skillfully drew the fire with seals, and then covered the lid of the incense burner to cover the smoke, leaving only the fragrance gradually The sweet sandalwood aroma escapes from the stove.

Sandalwood soothes the nerves, since the Nangong opened to smash spices, Da Shanyu often comes to stay overnight, and he can feel more relaxed here in Nangong.But on the other hand, he didn't dare to relax completely. Nangong was the princess of the big man, and now the relationship between the Han and the Hungarians was tense, so he had to guard against it.

In this way, he came here in pursuit of peace of mind, but he could not get real peace for a long time.

"How to say?"

Nangong said calmly, "You must have heard about the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion. At that time, the seven kingdoms rebelled officials sent troops in the name of killing Chao Cuo, but when my father really killed Chao Cuo, they did not stop attacking. step."

"They didn't really want to kill Chao Cuo, but raised a flag that my father couldn't press down, just to cover up their own actions."

"And when my father reluctantly pressed down on the flag, their wolf ambitions couldn't be blocked."

"In fact, they just want to rebel."

Her tone was calm, as if she was stating a fact, but Shan Yu, the military official, was fascinated by it.Of course he knew about the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and the Hungarian tribe still had a hand in it, trying to make a fortune. However, the Han army quelled the rebellion too quickly, and the rebellion was quelled before they had time to move.

At that time, the Hun cavalry were almost reaching the pass, so they could only turn around in embarrassment.Although this matter was discussed by Zuo Bu and others, Da Shanyu also knew something about it. At that time, he laughed at the weakness of the Emperor Dahan, but now it sounds... "You mean, your father saw through this at the time?"

Nangong replied very cautiously, "Father's thoughts, Nangong can't see through."

"Heh..." Shan Yu laughed, but didn't continue to ask, he was thinking.

He felt that what Princess Nangong said made some sense. The situation he encountered now was indeed somewhat similar to the civil strife in Han Dynasty at that time, and the major tribes who refused to listen to the explanation no matter what was also an ironclad proof of this idea.

He pondered for a while, his eyes darkened like a lone wolf, his five fingers forming fists, opening and closing unconsciously.Nangong's eyes drifted over there, and then she poured two cups of hot tea from the pot, pushed one cup towards Da Shanyu, and drank the cup slowly by herself.

There are some leaves soaked in the tea, and the color looks weird. It is said that it is a recent eating method in the Han Dynasty.Da Shanyu wasn't even interested in trying it, and he didn't touch the tea.

He stood up slowly, and walked out step by step. Nangong put down his teacup and looked over, "It's so late, where is Da Shanyu going?"

"Don't worry about men's affairs, women." The military official Shanyu opened the curtain of the big tent, and the cold night air penetrated, blowing away the sweet smell of spices, and he said "Take care of the child" stride out.

The woman staying in the tent slightly raised her eyelids, sighed silently, and lifted up the silver hairpin to scatter the incense seals.

Princess Nangong let out a breath.She squeezed her stiff hands, then stood up and was about to leave the tent, but at this moment the curtain of the king's tent was lifted, and a maid respectfully brought a little boy in, "Da Yan, your highness is looking for you……"

"Get out!" Princess Nangong reprimanded, she glared at the maid, "Didn't I tell you not to bring His Highness in while burning incense? There will be trouble again at night."

"Oh!" the maid called out, "It's my fault, please forgive me! But Your Highness is in a hurry to find you..."

She immediately knelt down to plead guilty, but she didn't take Jin Ridun away intentionally or unintentionally for some reason.Nangong's eyes flashed, she sighed and helped the maid up, "It's okay, I didn't mean to blame you, this fragrance has no effect on the body, it's just that children have a good nose, it's not good to smell too much, my mother didn't like it when I was young Let me smell more... said that I would make trouble at night after smelling the incense. You also know Jin Ridun's temperament, if he makes a fuss all night, he won't be able to sleep."

After helping the maid, Princess Nangong reached out and hugged her son who was wrinkling his little nose and looking aggrieved, "Ouch! My child, what's the matter? This little face is wrinkled."

"Grandma~" Jin Rixun rubbed his little head against Princess Nangong's neck like a small animal, "Abba, you are fierce."

"Huh?" Nangong looked at the maid, and the latter said respectfully, "I met Da Shanyu on the way, and Da Shanyu seems to have something on his mind..."

She didn't say anything, but she seemed to say everything.Nangong pursed his lips, and didn't ask any more questions, "Jin Rixun, would you go horseback riding with grandma?"

The little boy nodded immediately, and Nangong then said: "A man can't shed tears in front of others."

"Oh." The little man pursed his mouth and reached out to wipe away the tears on his face, "Grandma, I'm fine."

"Hey." Nangong lifted the curtain, and her expression became a little fierce for a moment when the light and darkness intersected, but after the maid came out, she returned to a compliant look.She carried her son to the place where the horses were raised in the Wang tent, and then she randomly selected a docile filly to get on the horse and put her son in front.

Nangong refused to follow the slaves and only brought a few maids with her. She trotted all the way and took several breaths before she calmed down a little.The young son in his arms yelled with excitement at the gallop of the horse and made his mother speed up.

Naturally, Nangong didn't dare to run too fast, she pinched her son's cheek and asked, "Okay, there's no one here, why are you unhappy, tell grandma, huh?"

Jin Rixun pursed his mouth, "I was going to visit my father, but my father said he wasn't free, so I asked sister Mu Ze to take me to find my mother, and asked me to stay with my mother for a while."

"I'm not losing my temper!"

"Okay. My Jin Ridun is the bravest." Nangong patted his youngest son on the shoulder.She pinched the horse's belly lightly and let the horse pick up speed after her son repeatedly asked to go faster.

The children's cheerful laughter broke through the field, and the nearby herdsmen looked up and saw the beautiful Han princess, each exchanged a look.Princess Nangong's mood became heavier amidst her son's laughter.

Da Shanyu was suspicious of her, so he did not hesitate to use their child to test her, to test her with their child's life!

For a mother, a mother in a foreign country who has no spiritual dependence other than her children, this is simply an effective temptation.When she saw the maid entering with Jin Riyi in her arms, Nangong felt the pain that even her internal organs were boiling. If the spices she burned were not really poison, she would definitely not be able to keep calm at that moment.

Da Shanyu is more cunning and unscrupulous than she imagined.

She had to leave here, and she had to leave with Jin Ridun.If she continues to stay here, Nangong has no doubt that her son will become a tool of the military minister Shanyu.It's just that she still has to think about how to act.

More than ten days later, Shan Yuting became lively, and the leaders of various tribes came to Shan Yuting to ask for an explanation, and what Da Shanyu did was to kill him.

He killed more than a dozen tribal leaders in a row, and the power suppressed all voices. Even the wind on the entire grassland was completely quiet, and no one dared to say anything more.

Military minister Shanyu sneered.

That's right, they are the Huns, the people of the prairie. Just like the ancestor's teaching, only the strong have the qualifications to convey their voices to others.

How did he forget it before?He actually wanted to reason with these people.

Military minister Shan Yu attributed his previous stupidity to his being too kind recently. If it was more than ten years ago, no one would dare to question him like this.But now, he has once again consolidated his right to speak with his strength.

Moreover, the candidate for the great witch has not been decided for a long time, so that for a while there is only his voice in this vast grassland.

The military minister Shan Yu was fascinated by this feeling. He told himself that a weak man has only one voice, how can a strong and wise Hun have two voices?Today's great witch of the Xiongnu is temporarily replaced by his disciples, but when this code will be removed is entirely in the hands of the military minister Shanyu.

In fact, the grassland did not approve of his brutal behavior. Although everyone had to accept it temporarily because of the dictatorship of the Great Chanyu, they only needed one reason to explode.This year's fall migration is one reason.

Because the Huns who set off at the time calculated by the agent Dawu encountered a blizzard.This blizzard was so fierce that it swept across the entire northern grassland. Almost no tribe escaped the disaster. Countless cattle, sheep and slaves were lost, and the Huns broke out completely.

The big witch is their belief, and the big witch can communicate with the heavens to avoid disasters for them.And the time to go to the winter land every year is extremely important. If you leave early, the pasture savings will not be complete, and if you leave late, you will easily encounter blizzards.But this year, they traveled according to the time calculated by the agent Dawu, but they still encountered heavy snow.

If they left a few days later, they would never have suffered such a huge loss while staying at the station.

There is no problem with the time when they left, so it must be the problem of the agent of the great witch. There was a problem when the agent of the witch communicated with the heavens, and it is more likely that the heavens did not recognize the witch at all, so the disaster came.

After arriving at the gathering place, almost all the Hun tribes gathered, and they only dared to express their dissatisfaction in a low voice.

The most powerful grassland power is now in the hands of the military minister Shanyu, and each of their tribes has young people working under the military minister Shanyu's account. These people are the most precious children of the tribal leader.They used to think it was an honor, but now they don't think so. They think it's the coercion of the subordinate tribes by the king's account.

At this moment, these tribes' dissatisfaction with the king's account has reached the highest level, even higher than before because of trade alone.

Just this winter, a woman approached Nangong.

"I know you want to escape, I can help you." Standing in front of her was her ex and the princess who had met once many years ago.

Seeing the astonishment on Nangong's face, she smiled, "Why, are you surprised by why I can survive till now, or why I want to help you?"

"...I have both." Nangong took some grass and handed it to the woman, and then she took a little bit from the woman and sprinkled it to the rabbits in the cage.

From a distance, it looked like a woman was giving her a helping hand, which was not noticeable at all. "I know, you have looked for me." The woman's voice was hoarse, and every word seemed to be forced out by tearing her vocal cords.

She handed Nangong a medicine sachet, "For your sake, after taking this medicine, you will have erythrasma all over your body. The grassland people are very afraid of this strange symptom. Da Shanyu will definitely not Come to you again, you will have a long period of time to be relatively free."

Nangong took the medicine bag, and after thinking for a moment, she frowned suddenly, "No, Jin Riyi..."

"Nangong!" She was interrupted by the woman before she finished speaking, "You have been here for so many years, haven't you learned a truth?"

"On this grassland, there is no perfect solution, only what you can gain."

"I gave up my appearance and voice to get a life. You don't think you can return to the big man safe and sound without giving up anything?"

The woman sprinkled the last bit of fodder in her hand into the livestock trough, and saluted her, "The method of use is very simple, just boil water and drink it. I will give you the food, believe it or not, you can eat it or not. on yourself."

"... I see, thank you, Sister Qinghe." Nangong hid the medicine bag under the grass, her expression was completely calm, it looked like an ordinary encounter, but she kept hiding under the grass. The trembling hands illustrate her true emotions.

The woman was silent for a while, and sighed: "I haven't heard this name for a long time..."

Her name is Qinghe, and there used to be a clear river winding past her door.Her parents only had her as a daughter, and if her father hadn't fallen ill later and couldn't afford to support her and her younger brother, she wouldn't have entered the palace to be a good family son.

If she hadn't been favored that day, she wouldn't have come to this grassland, and she wouldn't have become the inhuman and ghost-like person she is now.

She walked forward slowly, and since she arrived on the grassland, her name only remained Dahan Yanshi and Woman.Suddenly I heard my name...

A line of clear tears slipped from the corner of her eyes and fell silently to the ground.She suddenly stopped and said, "I'll tell you frankly, the reason I survived was because I betrayed the big man, and the reason I didn't survive well is because I didn't know enough."

"There are many people like me on this grassland."

"Nangong, please do it yourself."

"I know, thank you sister."

Nangong didn't doubt what Princess Qinghe said to her, but she had a steelyard in her heart.She carefully hid the medicine pouch that Princess Qinghe gave her, and she didn't plan to use it yet, Nangong had to wait for the most suitable time.

The opportunity came soon, in January of the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Xiongnu New Year.

Just at this time, there were frequent earthquakes in the Han Dynasty. The spies from the south informed the military minister Shan Yu that the city wall of the Han Dynasty might be destroyed. The military minister Shan Yu just needed to show his prestige, so he immediately led a heavy army without hesitation. He went south to attack Yanmen Yunzhong Second County. Of course, he did not lose his mind. He left [-] cavalry from the headquarters in the king's tent to look after the rear.

No one thinks that Da Shanyu will lose, because what Da Shanyu brought with him this time was 14 Hun cavalry from the headquarters, and there were also cavalry from the left and right. The total number was about [-]. The cavalry invaded Dahan's Oasis Palace, and now they are only going to plunder the border. In fact, in Da Shanyu's opinion, he doesn't need so many people at all.

In their vision, this should be a devastating battle, not to mention that they felt that the city wall of the big man had been destroyed by continuous earthquakes, and the big man without the protection of the city wall was like an ordinary little flower on the prairie. Helplessly let the cavalry pass by.

But is this really the case?

When the Xiongnu Shanyu arrived in Hanbian County, he did see the walls of the Great Wall that were split from the outside. These walls looked so fragile that they would fall down completely with just a slight push.Yunzhong and Yanmen are large professional passes, and there is no man's land outside the Great Wall. There is no doubt that they will not be able to catch local people to ask.

However, the spies told Xiongnu Shanyu that he had traveled to the border for a long time as a merchant and had known the merchants here, so he could find a way to find out the news from the merchants.This spy is a Han citizen who was taken back after the attack on Ganquan Palace by the old Shangdan. He had been a slave before, and later because of the increasing trade needs between Han and Hungary, these Han slaves were gradually used because they were proficient in the languages ​​of the two countries.

In addition to serving as translators, they were sent to the Han Dynasty after confirming their loyalty. However, because Emperor Jing had sorted out the population several times before, and the Han and Hungarians did not conduct trade exchanges, all the spies lurking in the Han Kingdom were lost. damage.It can only temporarily call some Han people who are in charge of message delivery in the periphery.

Da Shanyu agreed, and prepared some belongings for him to manage, and soon the spy came back with a carriage.The businessman on the carriage was stunned as soon as he got off the carriage. He was shocked when he saw the big tent of the Huns.This businessman was extremely rich at first glance. He was dressed in silk, wearing gold and silver, and his face was full of wealth, but now his expression was distorted because of shock.

It turned out that the stall didn't tell him that he was a Hun before bringing him, but just told him that he came to see a big customer, because he was an old customer, and the businessman didn't think much about it, and now he regretted it with a knife on his neck .He knelt and shivered in front of the Hun Shanyu, and finally compromised when the big knife was about to cut off his neck.

The businessman expressed his willingness to surrender to the Huns.

"It would have been better if this had happened earlier." The Hun Shanyu smiled and patted the shoulder of the cold-sweating businessman.
