The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 430 The Death of Fan Yuan
Now Liu Heikai and Fan Yuan can't sit still. Yanzhou is more than 400 miles away from Youzhou. Even Li Shimin's ingenious strategy should not make such a big circle. Instead, he wanted to march northward, but further north of Yanzhou was the sphere of influence of the Turks. What exactly did he want to do, Li Shimin?

He ordered the detective horse to continue to investigate and report again. After the detective horse left, the two of them had no intention of having fun and flirting with each other, so they turned around in the palace.

But soon the answer was revealed. Li Shimin ordered Gao Yang to lead troops to bloodbath Baihekou, burning, killing and looting, and a large number of Turkic vagrants died unexpectedly.

Upon receiving the news, Liu Heitai and Fan Yuan were almost frightened, thinking that the information was wrong, and Liu Heitai was angry and wanted to kill the detective who reported the incident.But several scouts reported it like this, Liu Heitai knew it must be true, and suddenly seemed to have lost his nerves, even Fan Yuan, who had a high strategy, was dumbfounded.

This was completely beyond the expectations of Liu Heitai and Fan Yuan. Li Shimin gave him a trick that made him unable to explain to Turk.The Turks lent their own generals, but this team went to conquer the Turks instead. Even if I have a hundred mouths, I still can't explain clearly.

Originally wanted to play with Li Shimin, but was dizzy by Li Shimin.How can Liu Heita not be in a hurry!
After calming down, Liu Heitai became irritable and wanted to eat Fan Yang Luo Yi's 2 horses with all his strength, and then fight Li Shimin to the death.

Liu Heikai was about to gather troops, but was persuaded by Fan Yuan: "Your Majesty, don't be reckless. Right now we are short of major generals, so Luo Yi is not easy to deal with, and Li Shimin is even more difficult to mess with. More importantly, we offended Turkic and Goguryeo have to turn against us, if this continues, we Han Dongguo will be finished."

"Well——" Liu Heitai let out a long snort and took a deep breath. He knew that Fan Yuan was not alarmist, and it was completely true, so he suppressed the fire and said, "Prime Minister, then you say, What should I do?"

Fan Yuan sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why Li Shimin did this is that he must have seen through us. Now, in my humble opinion, the Li-Liu alliance is over. Next, our two families are likely to fight each other See. In my humble opinion, if you want to deal with Li Shimin, you must get the support of the Turks. At present, the most important thing is not to eat Luo Yi's team, nor is it to fight for Li Shimin, but to rebuild with the Turks."

"The prime minister is right, but the Turks must hate us now, will he still support us?" Liu Heita grinned.

"Yes. Don't worry, Your Majesty. There was only a misunderstanding between us and the Turks. Your Majesty will write a letter now, and put all the responsibility for this matter on Li Shimin. Originally, this matter has nothing to do with our Han Dong Kingdom." , In addition, prepare more generous gifts and send capable people to patiently explain to Jili Khan. I think Jili Khan is a sensible person. He will definitely send someone to investigate this matter. After the truth is revealed, he will forgive and continue to support us. Then we won't have to be afraid of him, Li Shimin."

Hearing this, Liu Heikai smiled again: "The prime minister has a high opinion, Zhunqing played it. I see that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all mediocre, so the prime minister will work hard again. This time, even if you kneel to the Turks as an envoy, , I also ask for the understanding and support of King Jili Khan, and ask him to send troops quickly to attack Li Shimin's rear. We attacked back and forth and defeated Li Shimin. Let him count the land, beauties, gold, silver and jewelry, and I will not be stingy .”

"Observe the decree." After Fan Yuan received the decree, he ordered someone to draft an edict according to Liu Heitai's intention. After the two discussed and revised the final draft, Fan Yuan took it with him, and then picked twenty stunning beauties and a large carload of gold. Silver jewelry, under the escort of more than 1000 Eastern Han troops, marched out of the North Gate in mighty force, and Fan Yuan made his second mission to Turks.

But this time was completely different from the first time. When Ji Li Khan saw Fan Yuan, he completely lost the courtesy he had last time, and his big face was as cold as ice.After hearing what Fan Yuan had said, he looked at Liu Heita's "Apology Letter". The letter also mentioned the matter of borrowing troops. Ji Li Khan couldn't hold back any longer, and became furious, tearing up the letter to pieces. Without further ado, Fan Yuan was tied up and dragged out to have his head chopped off.

Fan Yuan was so frightened that his face turned green. He knelt down and begged for mercy, yelling and screaming. He completely lost the dignity of a prime minister of a country.

But even so, Ji Li Khan did not spare him this time, because Ji Li Khan got the news that Li Shimin sent Gao Yang to take [-] Korean cavalry to wash Baihekou bloody in the past two days, and he was so angry that he vomited blood. He decided that it was Li Shimin and Liu Hei. The doorman was playing with him, cursing, "Cunning Han dog, inadequacy and trickery!" His teeth were about to be crushed.

Ji Li Khan had nowhere to vent his anger. Fan Yuan came to explain, and hoped that Ji Li Khan would continue to send troops to support them, and promised various benefits.How can Geely Khan be in a hurry?
A few minutes later, his subordinates held a bloody head in front of his eyes on a tray for him to test the sentence.

Killing Fan Yuan, Ji Li Khan still felt puzzled, so he left all twenty beauties and the carload of gold, silver and jewels behind. All of them were chopped off.

These people took their lives and brought Fan Yuan's head to meet Liu Heitai, who was shocked.After asking about the details, these people then showed Ji Li Khan's edict of guilt to Liu Heitai, telling him that Ji Li Khan was furious, they were preparing troops, and they would soon send troops south to settle accounts with him and Li Shimin , to avenge the bloodwashing of Baihekou.

When Liu Heita heard it, he sat down on the dragon chair like a deflated ball.At this moment, he felt so isolated and helpless, and finally he became angry and hated Li Shimin.At this moment, he hated Li Shimin as much as he hated Yang Yong.So he sent an order to gather soldiers and horses to fight Li Shimin to the death.

Liu Heikai gave an order, and the soldiers from the only six states and counties in the Eastern Han Dynasty assembled in a few days, and there were more than 4 troops together.Liu Heikai marched in person, leaving [-] guards behind, and led the [-] troops out of Youzhou to Fanyang with his younger brother Liu Shishan.

He planned to take advantage of Li Shimin's absence to eat Luo Yi's 2 horses in one fell swoop, but as Fan Yuan said, Luo Yi is not an idler. Yi has occupied Youyan for more than ten years, from Youyan King to Beiping King to Youyan King, these titles are not in vain.

The two sides set up a battlefield in Fanyang area, and when the fight was inextricably linked, Li Shimin, who was leading an army to Changli, had to get revenge. He discussed with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and it was just right for Luo Yi to involve Liu Heitai. Han Dongguo's best fighter, quickly recover the prefectures and counties.So Li Shimin set off from Shanggu, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yuyang.

Because the Eastern Han Kingdom is now empty, most of the soldiers and horses were drawn by Liu Heikai to deal with Luo Yi, and there were only [-] defenders left in Yuyang. So he took Yuyang.

Because Yuyang is close to Koryo, in order to prevent Koryo from retaliation, Li Shimin left General Shi Da Nai to lead [-] troops to guard Yuyang, and then led the army to march towards Youzhou.

Youzhou, also known as Zhuojun, is the area around Beijing today. It was the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty at that time, but despite being such a military center, Liu Heita's defenders only had 5000 troops.After finding out, Li Shimin threw his whip in the air and said, "Take Youzhou, go!"
