Great Han Empire

Chapter 340 The Swordsman
Zuo Xianwang Hu Loulan was lying on the ground, his face was painful, his eyes were half-opened, and he was dying.Liu Ming and Liu Bao knelt beside him, with grim expressions, red eyes, and extreme grief and anger.

Li Hong stood in the middle of the large tent with a worried face, silent.At this time, he was concerned about the safety of Bingzhou and worried about the unstable morale of the army, and his heart was in a mess.Xian Yufu stood beside him, discussing with Zhu Mu and Song Wen in a low voice.

What Zhu Mu meant was to immediately send troops to surround the Huns' iron cavalry to prevent any change.If the Huns rioted, even if the army could be calmed down quickly, the Northern Expeditionary Army would be damaged, the morale of the soldiers would be affected, and the counter-insurgency journey would also be delayed.If the Northern Expeditionary Army fails to reach Jicheng in time, Liu Yu's army attacking from the direction of Jizhou will become a lonely army and go deep, which is very dangerous.Song Wen strongly opposed it. He said that the current situation is unclear, and rashly mobilizing the army to besiege the Huns' iron cavalry will cause misunderstandings by the Huns.As long as there is no news of Hu Loulan's death, there will be no danger for the time being.Xian Yufu hesitated.It was about to leave Juyongguan and start the war against the rebellion. It is really shocking that such a big thing happened at this juncture.The timing of the assassination was so well chosen, the main messenger behind this assassin was definitely not just for the position of a great chanyu, the more purpose probably was to stir up civil strife in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and delay the pace of the Northern Expeditionary Army's exit from the customs.

Zheng Xin walked in lightly, Li Hong looked back at him.Zheng Xin shook his head in disappointment, and said in a low voice: "There is no news from Bingzhou, it is estimated that something happened at Yanmen Pass."

When Li Hong left, he had an agreement with Xu Rong that he must send him a letter every three days, but it has been five days now, and Li Hong has not received any news from Xu Rong.From Bingzhou to Youzhou, there is only one road at present, that is, from Yanmen Pass to Daijun.There was no letter from the Zhenbei General's Mansion. There is only one possibility, that is, the Yanmen Pass was under attack and the letter could not be delivered.

Under Zhao Yun's whispered comfort, Liu Ming and Liu Bao walked to Li Hong's side.Hu Loulan was dead, but there were still 20 cavalry who needed to be appeased. Sadness and anger could not solve the problem, the two of them knew this very well.Liu Bao is about [-] years old, tall and strong, with two thick black eyebrows and a pair of big eyes. He is handsome and heroic. Because he was born in a noble family of the Huns, his demeanor is a little arrogant and reserved, and he looks rebellious.This time he went out with King Zuo Xian, and he was the most important person in command of the army.

"It wasn't Tu Geren who did it, it was the Xubu family." Liu Bao said through gritted teeth. Yu Huai has a grudge and has been plotting evil. The Huns must be in chaos now, and Shan Yuting must be in danger. General, I want to take the cavalry home."

Li Hong looked at Liu Ming strangely, and thought to himself, isn't Xubu Gudu the Zuoguli King of the Huns?Why did another bone come out.Liu Ming saw Li Hong's doubts and hurriedly explained.

The Xiongnu took Gutu Shanyu as the supreme leader. (In the Xiongnu language, "Tian" is called "Chengli", and "Zi" is called Gutu, so "Changli Gutu Shanyu" means the Son of Heaven.) Shanyu is in charge of military affairs and all external powers. The left and right bones are all marquis.The Marquis of Gudu assists the government and has great power.There are only three Xiongnu nobles who can serve as Marquis of Gudu, namely the Huyan family, the Lan family and the Xu Bu family.The Huyan family is on the left, and the Lan and Xubu families are on the right.After Qiangqu was forcibly supported by Zhang Xiu, the general of the guard of the Xiongnu, as the Grand Chanyu, the left and right bone capitals united with the tribal kings of the Xiongnu to oppose it, and wanted to raise troops to cause chaos.Zhang Xiu was so tyrannical that he asked Qiang Qu to abolish the left and right bone capitals and monopolize the power. At the same time, he arrested the left bone capital Huyan, and almost killed Huyan's old king.Now everyone calls Xu Bushi the Marquis of Gudu, that is customary, not Xu Bu's name.

"Based on the prestige of the three families in the Xiongnu, if they rebel, they can gather tens of thousands of troops from thousands of tribes, plus Tu Geren, they can gather at least [-] troops to attack and kill the Great Chanyu..." Liu Ming sighed , Thinking of my parents and relatives in my hometown, I was worried and sad, wishing I could go back to Meiji immediately.

"General, let Liu Bao and I go home, even if you give us three thousand cavalry." Liu Ming suddenly knelt down, tears streaming down his face, and kowtowed.Liu Bao also knelt down and begged repeatedly.

Li Hong leaned over to help them up, comforted them in a low voice, and then said: "Don't worry, even if the Huns are in chaos, the situation will not be as bad as you imagined. If you must leave, I agree. But have you considered that once the news of Zuo Xianwang's assassination spreads among the Xiongnu army, the army's morale will be in chaos, can you bring these ten thousand cavalry back to Meiji safely?"

Dazed by hatred and worry, Liu Ming and Liu Bao were startled. They looked at each other in blank dismay, and suddenly became more sober.Although these [-] iron cavalry are soldiers from various tribes of the left tribe, but the leaders of the various tribes are in charge of households, and the three nobles of Qiqu, Qianchang, Baichang and the Huns are inextricably linked. Don't raise troops to make trouble on the way?King Zuo Xian was killed by his attendants, what else will not happen?

"There are 2 people in Fengyun Iron Cavalry and Duliao Camp in the Zhonglang General Department of the Huns, more than 1 people in Shan Yuting, and more than 1 people from other tribes in the Zuo tribe in the south of Meiji, plus the Zhenbei General's Mansion. There are at least 5 troops to support and protect the Great Chanyu. Even if all the other Huns rebel and barely gather a hundred thousand troops, it will not endanger the safety of the Great Chanyu. Although it will take some time to counter the rebellion, the safety of northern Xinjiang threatened, but definitely not so bad that it cannot be saved."

"You brought [-] iron cavalry to drive back thousands of miles, which will not help solve the current chaotic situation of the Huns. On the contrary, if the [-] cavalry defected and broke up on the way home, it will increase the chaos of the Huns and make the situation worse."

Liu Bao bowed his head and remained silent.When Li Hong said this, he felt much more at ease. With [-] troops in the Xiongnu, there should be nothing wrong with the Great Chanyu. The only trouble was how to put down the Xiongnu rebels.To go home or not to go home?He hesitated.

"What does Lord General mean?" Liu Ming also calmed down and asked in a low voice.

"You should stay and continue to suppress the rebellion." Li Hong said, "After the Xiongnu cavalry made great achievements, the emperor will be very happy. Whether it is the suppression of the rebellion of the Great Chanyu or the future of the Huns, it will be of great benefit. One harm."

"Then what about King Zuoxian? How can we explain it to the soldiers?"

"You can't hide it." Li Hong said, "Let's say that the assassins of the rebel army assassinated King Zuo Xian. First, it can stabilize the morale of the army. Rebellion war."

Liu Bao suddenly raised his head and asked, "Master General, have you ever thought that if the Xiongnu rebels voluntarily surrendered to the Emperor of Han, saying that it was an internal matter of the Xiongnu and demanded to re-establish the Great Chanyu, and the Emperor of Han agreed, we Xiongnu soldiers The same will be reversed.”

Li Hong shook his hand resolutely and said, "Don't worry, as soon as I receive the exact news of the Huns' rebellion, I will immediately write a letter to Your Majesty, imploring Your Majesty to fully support the Chanyu, and to ensure that such a thing will not happen. The government and the Hun Hun Zhonglang General Department issued an urgent order ordering them to do everything in their power to help the Shanyu suppress the rebellion."

"As for the Zuoxian king, I will send someone to explain it to Da Shanyu in detail, and ask him to make You Xianwang Yu Fuluo the Zuoxian king and the vice-president of the Huns." Li Hong glanced at Liu Bao, ignoring everyone's astonishment. With a blank stare, he said calmly, "Take the big household as Shan Yuting's left big household, and lead the counter-insurgency army."

Liu Bao's expression was a little excited, and he didn't speak for a long time.Liu Ming's face was a bit ugly.

King Zuoxian is the vice-president of the Xiongnu. Although he is dead, his strength is still there. The new vice-president should naturally be the son of Hu Loulan, Tie Ye, the captain of Shanyu Tingyou. , and the strength is also very strong, so the new deputy reserve will not be able to get Yu Fuluo's turn no matter what.Li Hong didn't know whether he didn't understand the Huns' affairs or whether he wanted to keep the Xiongnu army to stabilize the morale, so he made such a bad plan.The consequences of doing so may directly lead to the unrest of the Huns and the start of new chaos.

Liu Ming is Qubei's nephew, of course he is towards Tie Ye, so he is very unhappy.

But at this time, in front of Liu Bao, no one dared to speak out to stop him, but Li Hong still felt that it was not enough, so he said something even more shocking.

"After this battle, as long as I am in northern Xinjiang, you will be the deputy Chu, and the future Great Chanyu."

Liu Ming's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't bear the shock in his heart any longer. He blurted out and exclaimed: "My lord, Liu Bao has four older brothers. He has neither territory nor soldiers. What will he do when he returns to the Xiongnu?"

Liu Ming didn't care, even if he offended Li Hong and Liu Bao, he would speak out to stop it.Liu Bao is Yu Fuluo's fifth son, the son of a slave and a concubine. He is neither a prince of the tribe nor a senior official of Shan Yuting, but an officer in the army of Yu Fuluo's tribe.This time the emperor of the Han Dynasty conscripted the Xiongnu army to go north to Youzhou to quell the rebellion. The children of the Xiongnu nobles knew that there was a fierce battle to be fought, so they did not come.It was impossible for King Zuo Xian to lead the army himself. In order to win the favor and support of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he had to make gestures no matter what.Zuo Xianwang had no choice but to give Liu Bao a big household in the end, and coaxed the young and frivolous Liu Bao here, but he didn't bring any of his own sons.Noble sons like Liu Bao who came from concubine status were as numerous as an ox hair in the Xiongnu. No matter how high their military exploits were, they were useless.

Li Hong not only added new chaos to the old chaos of the Huns, but also arranged for the future civil strife of the Huns.

Of course Liu Bao knew it well, so he stared at Li Hong with wide eyes, and couldn't believe his ears.

Li Hong sneered and said, "We have tens of thousands of soldiers from the Han Kingdom to help the Shanyu to quell the civil strife. Isn't it okay to make such a small request? Liu Bao helped the Han Kingdom to quell the rebellion in Youzhou and made military exploits. He is the hero of our Han Kingdom. With the support of the emperor of the Han Kingdom behind him, why can't he be a deputy reserve and a great Chanyu in the future?"

He pointed to everyone in the tent, and said to Liu Bao: "Today, in front of everyone, I, Li Hong, swear that as long as I am in northern Xinjiang, you will be the vice-president of the Huns and the future Great Chanyu. Even if I am not in northern Xinjiang, I will also let you have enough strength to sit on the position of the Great Chanyu, and if you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth."

There was a deathly silence in the big tent, and everyone was stunned.

Although Xian Yufu and the others felt that Li Hongzhi's proposal was very inappropriate, they thought that it might be Li Hong's expedient plan to keep the Hun army behind, so no one paid much attention to it. He suddenly heard Li Hong's oath, and only then did he know the matter Seriously, Li Hong is not trying to trick Liu Bao perfunctorily, but for real.Everyone stared at Li Hong dumbfounded, shocked.

Liu Bao was overwhelmed with great grief and suddenly rejoiced, and he didn't react for a long time.

Liu Ming was angry, he clenched his fists and opened his mouth to roar.In the final analysis, Li Hong only had eyes for his Han Dynasty, and there were no Huns at all. He wished that the Huns would continue to be chaotic and die.

Li Hong suddenly turned his face and stared at Liu Ming, his face was full of murderous intent, his terrifying eyes seemed to tell him, if you dare to shout, I will kill you.Although Liu Ming was full of grief and indignation, he didn't shout out after all. He gritted his teeth and said to Liu Bao, who was in conflict with grief and joy, "I still don't kneel down and thank you, General."

Liu Bao plopped down on his knees, weeping with gratitude, kowtowed repeatedly, unable to utter a word.

A group of attendants and several households kneeling next to Zuo Xianwang Hu Loulan's body, and because he couldn't understand the big man's language, he didn't know what Li Hong and Liu Bao said just now, what happened, but seeing Liu Leopard kowtowed to Li Hong, and hurried over to kowtow a few times after him.

===

Li Hong called Liu Ming aside, and whispered a few words of comfort.Liu Ming was very sad, but also very angry. He lowered his head and said nothing.

At this time, Li Hong needed Liu Ming's help very much. His special status gave him great prestige among the middle and lower ranks of the Huns, and his words carried weight.Seeing that he was very angry, Li Hong asked, "Qiansi, you have been with me since Luoyang. You know what kind of person I am. There is nothing you can't say between brothers? Tell me, where can I do it?" No, it made you so angry?"

"Master General, although you have stabilized Liu Bao and [-] Hun cavalry, what are the consequences? How long do you want the Huns to kill each other? You..." Liu Ming blushed , I couldn't help but said the following words, "What is your intention? Do you want to wipe out the Huns?"

Li Hong shook his head and said solemnly: "Qiansi, you are wrong. Why do you only see the struggle for royal power in the Xiongnu Shanyuting, but not the stability of the Xiongnu tribe?"

"I don't see how your lord's doing this will help the stability of the various ministries of the Huns?"

"Why did the Tu various clans rebel? Why did the three nobles including the Xubu family seek to seize the position of the Great Shanyu? Why was King Zuo Xianyu assassinated?" Li Wei sighed and said, "It's all because Shanyuting's strength is not enough. It is the result of intimidating the various ministries of the Huns. If Liu Bao is sitting on a large army, supplemented by the strong help of the Han Dynasty, his strength will be doubled, and he will look down upon the ministries of the Huns. Who else would dare to rebel against the Huns?"

"My country of Han set up heavy troops in Duliao River, why? To help Shan Yuting deter those who have evil intentions from the various ministries of the Huns. If Shan Yuting can deter the Quartet with his own power, we still need our country of Han stationed in Duliao River Heavy troops?"

"To stabilize the Xiongnu, this is the only way at present." Li Hong said, "Our Great Han Kingdom needs a stable northern border, and the northern border also needs a stable Xiongnu, and the Huns need a powerful Shan Yuting even more. "

Liu Ming lowered his head and thought for a while, and his mood gradually stabilized, "My lord, how did Liu Bao rise from the Xiongnu?"

"After the rebellion in Youzhou was put down, we immediately returned to Bingzhou. All the Hun tribes that the army quelled belonged to Liu Bao."

===

When the generals of the Xiongnu heard that King Zuo Xian was assassinated by the rebels, they were all furious and vowed to kill the rebels and avenge Zuo Xian Wang.

After staying in Zhuolu for three days, the army set off immediately, and the marching speed was greatly accelerated.

Although Li Hong kept the Xiongnu iron cavalry and stabilized the morale of the army, his actions still made it difficult for most of his subordinates to accept.If the matter of the Xiongnu is handled according to Li Hong's method, it will be very difficult. Once it is not handled properly, it will cause frequent turmoil within the Huns. If the Huns cannot stabilize, it will be a great threat to northern Xinjiang. Huge financial and material resources were invested in quelling the civil strife of the Huns, but the gains outweigh the losses.Li Hong was unwilling to discuss this matter with his subordinates too much.Let's talk about the future.

The news of Bingzhou finally reached Li Hong.Because Yanmenguan was attacked by Xianbei people, the messengers of General Zhenbei's Mansion had to go over mountains and ridges and detour to Daijun by small roads, which greatly delayed the time.

The Shanyu was killed and the Huns were in chaos. The situation was far worse than what Li Hong had imagined. The invasion of Xianbei King Kuitou and Northern Xianbei Lord Tuobafeng made Li Hong even more restless.The main generals and staff of the Northern Expedition Army gathered together to discuss for a long time, but no one could come up with a good solution.There is no other way but to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible and return to aid as soon as possible.

"My lord, is it possible to conscript Zhang Yan and Yang Feng's Yellow Turban Army to Yanmen Pass?" Zhu Mu asked.

"No." Li Hong said resolutely, "Tell Xu Rong that the Yellow Turban Army cannot be recruited under any circumstances. At the end of next month, the winter wheat will be harvested. In order to ensure that the grain enters the warehouse, the Yellow Turban Army will spread all over the two counties to prevent the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army The army went down the mountain to loot."

"My lord, do you want to tell Liu Bao and Liu Ming about the death of Da Shanyu?" Zhao Yun asked.

"I'll tell them myself." Li Hong thought for a while, and said to Zheng Xin, "Shouyan, you send a confidant back to Bingzhou with a message to Xu Rong."

"Sir, please speak."

Li Hong waved to Zheng Xin.Zheng Xin walked to Li Hong's side and listened with his ear.Li Hong said in a low voice, "Tell him to tell Qu Yi to find an opportunity to kill Tie Ye without showing any traces, and to act faster."

Zheng Xinxin understood, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to assassinate King Zuoxian..."

"Leave it alone, don't tell Xu Rong for the time being." Li Hong said, "When we arrive in Jicheng, after we meet up with Lord Liu, I will write to Your Majesty, and His Majesty will notify the Zhenbei General's Mansion."

===

At the beginning of this month, Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, reported victory. The Changsha rebels were completely wiped out, and the leader of the bandits, Ou Xing, was beheaded.The emperor was overjoyed and made Sun Jian Marquis of Wucheng.

The emperor was not happy for a long time, and the [-]-li Kuaiqi in Bingzhou arrived. Xu Buguduhou, the right tribe of the Huns, rebelled, and joined forces with [-] Tu various rebels to attack Shan Yuting and kill Da Shan Yu Qiangqu.Qu Yi led his troops to rescue the Xiongnu Zhonglang, covering Shanyu Tingyu and the left tribe of the Xiongnu who fled to Xihe and the Great Wall fortress.

The emperor discussed with the ministers for a long time, but there was nothing he could do. He could only comfort the general's mansion in Zhenbei and promised to give more food and pay.In fact, this is also nonsense. The food and salaries of the imperial court are now sent to the Youzhou battlefield, where is there any money left?
The imperial decree has just been sent out here, and Bingzhou has rushed to play there again. The king of Xianbei led an army of [-] to invade and is storming Yanmen Pass. The situation is critical.

The emperor was so angry that he cursed, the rebellion in Youzhou hadn't started to be quelled yet, and Bingzhou was rampant again, how many days could Li Hong's men last if the fight continued like this?

"I want to build an army, and I want to build an army in Luoyang."

Huangfusong had heard him say it a long time ago, so he immediately dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, the defense of Luoyang has the northern army, and there is no need to spend huge sums of money to build a new army. Now that northern Xinjiang is full of wars, the Dasinong's mansion doesn't even have enough money to fight. Qian Jianjun here?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and was so angry that he didn't know what to say.North Army?It is precisely because of the Northern Army that I want to build a new army, otherwise I will be full and have nowhere to spend my money.

"I just want to build a new army." The Son of Heaven waved his hand and said, "The northern army will guard the eight gates of Gyeonggi, and the new army will guard Luoyang. That's it. You guys will make preparations for me right away."

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Lu Zhi hurriedly smoothed things over, "Your Majesty, the war in northern Xinjiang is so tense now that Shangshutai really can't spare manpower. From my point of view, this matter should be postponed for a while..."

"Hey..." The emperor sneered and said, "I understand your difficulties, how about this, I will give you more manpower."

"I decreed that Lang Han Fu and Xu Jing should be moved to be ministers, and they should immediately enter the minister's desk."

Huangfusong and Lu Zhi were helpless.

The emperor has the emperor's plan.Although his teacher Cai Yong was unwilling to help him, he couldn't give up on attracting celebrities. Without the support of these people, it would be very difficult to easily pass the proposal of abolishing the heir and establishing the concubine, so that the little prince can inherit the throne.So he thought of another trick. He wanted to appoint some celebrities to important positions in the inner and outer courts, and use high-ranking officials and generous salaries to win over some celebrities and scholars.Letting Han Fu and Xu Jing enter Shangshutai is only the beginning of the emperor's implementation of his own ideas.

===

The east and west borders of Bingzhou went to war at the same time, and the required military resources increased rapidly. The Dasinong's mansion complained incessantly.

The emperor just didn't borrow it, and hid in the harem and couldn't come out.In desperation, the ministers ran to Changle Palace and cried to the Queen Mother.The queen mother couldn't sit still, and went to the North Palace to find the emperor herself.

The queen mother said to the emperor, it is not a problem for the emperor to hide from his ministers, isn't he just asking for money?The emperor can't think of a way to make money.The emperor opened salt and iron in Bingzhou and Hedong, why can't he open salt and iron in the whole country?

The emperor shook his head again and again, and said frightenedly: "Mother, those ministers will not agree. Moreover, with an edict, at least hundreds of people outside the Beigong Gate will admonish them with death. By then, there will be dead people everywhere outside the Beigong Gate. very scary."

The queen mother said, compared with the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, what is the death of hundreds of people?General Leopard will kill 10,000+ people in a single battle. Could it be that the lives of 10,000+ soldiers are not as good as these hundreds of lives?

As soon as the emperor heard it, it was reasonable. In this way, there would be money for building the army. With the money, the ministers probably would not find any reason to oppose the building of the army, so he hurriedly called the Sangong Mansion and the ministers to discuss the matter.

"Reopening salt and iron is beneficial to the country and the people. If anyone opposes it, he will be dismissed immediately. If someone wants to admonish him with death, he will go directly to the gate of the North Palace. He can die however he wants, but he must take the coffin with him. If he dies, he will be carried in. So as not to make me feel uncomfortable."

When all the officials were dumbfounded, Yuan Pang spoke.

"Your Majesty, I am in a hurry to ask for money, and I want it now."

The emperor had no choice but to think that you wouldn't give up until you demolished my Wanjintang.He turned his head to look at Zhang Rang who was standing behind him, and asked, "Is there a way for Ai Qing?"

Zhang Rang thought for a while with a sad face, and whispered back: "Your Majesty, you can sell your crime."

"Selling a crime?"

"There are countless prisons in the world, and there are as many prisoners as a cow's hair. Your Majesty can set a price according to the size of the crime and let the prisoners buy the crime and go home. In this way, the money will be available immediately."

The emperor was furious, staring at Zhang Rang and scolding: "You old bastard, why didn't you say it earlier? I only amnesty in the first month of this year, how much is the loss? I will kill you."

===

Bingzhou came to play again, and Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, was killed in battle, and asked the imperial court for immediate reinforcements.

The eunuch Yang Biao immediately said, isn't there Zhang Yan's Yellow Turban Army in Bingzhou?Now that Zhang Yan has been appeased, his Yellow Turban army is the Han army, so he should go to the border to kill the enemy.

The emperor returned to Shangshutai to consult Huangfusong's opinion.Huangfu Song was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, who said this, this person should be killed, and the plan offered is a plan for the subjugation of the country."

The emperor was startled.

"Your Majesty, if the Yellow Turbans arrive at Yanmen Pass, take the opportunity to rebel, open the fortress, and let the barbarians pour down, our northern border will be completely over. At this time, the main force left behind in the Zhenbei General's Mansion is in the north of the Great Wall Fortress, and there are only a few in Jinyang. Thousands of people are totally vulnerable. Your Majesty, this person should be killed."

The emperor was furious, and immediately decreed that Yang Biao should be dismissed from his post as a servant, and replaced as a doctor of the Taizhong, and Huang Wan, a doctor of admonishment, should be moved as a servant.

"Aiqing, about the reinforcement of Yanmen Pass..."

"Let Ding Yuan, the captain of Wumeng in Hanoi County, go." Huangfusong said, "The last time General Zhenbei recruited troops, he went against the law and only sent 1000 people to deal with the errand. This time, ask him to bring All the troops go north. There are more than 5000 people in Hanoi Prefecture, more than enough to guard Yanmen Gate for a month."

"What about Hanoi?" asked the Son of Heaven, "The Black Mountain Ant Thieves there often go down the mountain to harass the four regions."

"Isn't Your Majesty going to build an army?" Huangfu Song said with a smile, "From my point of view, let Liu Biao, the Marquis of the Northern Army, lead the cavalry battalion to Hanoi, and Shi Kuai Yue, the servant of the general's mansion, to lead the Yue cavalry battalion to Mengjin. Stationed, the two battalions are used as support, to guard the north and south of the Yellow River, what does your majesty think?"

The Son of Heaven laughed, his small eyes narrowed into slits, "Okay, let's play."
