Chapter 268 The Huns are coming too(1/2)
The incense burned, and there were a few ice cubes in the corner.
The temperature in the house is suitable.
"Tell me, who should I send?"
Liu Zhong's cheeks were less evil and more casual as a Confucian scholar.
"Have your Majesty not assigned?"
"No."
"It should be the general's business, but the general is still far away and his majesty is not here, so we can only have the idea."
"Who do you think is the best choice?"
Li Chao looked around and listened to everyone's opinions.
Liu Zhong pondered: "Since it is an expeditionary army, it has a great relationship, why should I call the imperial guards?"
"It's inappropriate. The imperial guard belongs to His Majesty's private guard, and we are not qualified to dispatch it at all."
The First Army of the Ming Dynasty and the Third Army belonged to the Qiexue Army, which belonged to the national army camp, and there was also an army that was beyond the world. It was the nine hundred imperial guards built by Li Muzhi himself.
"Li Yan is back just now, let's take his army with you."
Someone suddenly suggested.
Everyone paused on the field, but in fact, everyone still had a hint of prejudice in their hearts.
Although Li Yan defeated the enemy, he had no limits on his words.
Moreover, they had just joined the army and suspected that they were fake.
Li Chao remembered the daughter of the palace and nodded, "Yes, Li Yan is the best candidate. Now our Ming army is far away in Sindu and Xijing. If the troops around Pingyang are drawn, it will inevitably lead to the emptiness of the troops in the Jingji area. The army led by Li Yan has experienced many wars and must be a strong force, so it is most appropriate for him to go there."
Others also agreed, everyone was smart, and Li Chao said that others would not object.
......
Li Yan had just said some intimate words to his wife, and his face was full of kindness.
A great joy in life!
Victory of the war, return to his hometown.
His wife gave birth to a son for himself.
Li Yan looked around and looked around, feeling very satisfied.
But not long after the happy time, a letter of faith in Li Yan came to the Ministry of War.
The Ministry of War is also busy.
As the Ministry of War responsible for logistics matters, it does not have the ability to dispatch troops in name.
However, the General's Office temporarily lacked decisive talents. Therefore, after the cabinet made a decision directly, Li Yan came here to submit some required military supplies.
"General Li."
The soldiers who received Li Yan were very humble. Even if they could be Li Yan's father at age, they were respectful and did not look negligent at all.
Nowadays, Li Yan is also famous.
Pingyang's residence newspaper directly took the contents of the Xijing residence newspaper for use.
Two thousand newspapers were sent out, and Li Yan immediately became a celebrity.
"Mr. Qin, Li Yan is here."
Qin Li, Qin Dazhuang's father, threw down his pen with his hands and hurried out to greet him in person.
After seeing Li Yan's figure, he showed a satisfied expression.
I had never dealt with Li Yan before, but now when I see that my facial features are upright, especially my two sword eyebrows, are used as saying that they look grand, which makes people feel good at it.
Qin Li has always advocated the Ming Dynasty's blood, but he is not an extremist person.
He believed that those who were able to naturalize the Ming Dynasty could be regarded as people of the Ming Dynasty, and this did not conflict with his own remarks at all.
"General Li Yan."
Li Yanxun looked at him, his mind was trembling, and he hurriedly bowed: "I am begging you to the Minister of the Secretariat."
Qin Li laughed and said, "Don't be so polite, please come inside."
The two came to a quiet room.
"I don't know why I have to come to allocate supplies, but what is important?"
Li Yan frowned and asked hesitantly.
"Yes, the news came from His Majesty who was far away in the royal court, asking the Ming Dynasty to quickly dispatch 500 troops to the royal court to gather and prepare to support the Dayuan Kingdom."
"Do you understand Dayuan?"
"I don't know." Li Yan told the truth, he had never cared about similar situations before.
So Qin Li also told his shallow knowledge of Dayuan Kingdom.
"This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You are recommended by the cabinet ministers, and you can also show up in Your Majesty!" Qin Li said.
Qin Li was a little resistant, what about the Western Regions?
I have never been in contact with you, and he is the least willing to fight an unprepared battle!
However, there is no way to refuse.
I had to agree.
“When should I go?”
“The faster the better!”
He calculated the days and if he dispatched the army, it would take about five days.
And there are ready-made military supplies here, you can just take them away quickly.
So Li Yan quickly applied for a meeting with his mother.
"Son, don't let Your Majesty down!"
Thinking of his mother's scene, Li Yan took a breath and returned home.
It's the last day.
......
In the vast earth, the eagle spreads its wings and flies high.
The crane's cries were a little desolate.
A fast horse galloped over and the bird flew away.
The horse's hooves stepped on the small puddles in the grassland, splashing mud.
"Report!"
In the account, a man had his breasts exposed, his hair and beard were scattered, and a necklace made of wolf teeth hung between his neck. Somewhat dissonantly was that he was wearing silk shorts under him, and this person was the Xiongnu Chanyu-Yizhixie.
In the third year of Yuanshuo of Emperor Wu of Han, that is, in 126 BC, the military minister Shanyu died.
During the reign of the Shanyu period, problems gradually occurred within the Xiongnu. In his later years, the Western Han Dynasty changed its defense to attack, and the battlefield moved to the Xiongnu territory. The Xiongnu gradually weakened and finally had to submit to the Western Han Dynasty.
Junchen Shanyu once made his son Yu Shan the crown prince, but after Junchen died, his younger brother Yi Zhixie, the king of Zuo Guli, established himself as Shanyu, raised an army to attack the crown prince Yu Shan, and surrendered to the Han Dynasty when he was defeated.
This is a very important thing in the history of the Huns, because in the more than a hundred years from Touman to military officials, the position of the Huns and the Shanyu was passed down from father to son, and there was no brother to end with brother.
The son of Junchen, Yu Shan, was made the crown prince, and was the natural heir to Junchen, but the younger brother of Junchen, Yi Zhixie, established himself as Shanyu and defeated the crown prince Yu Shan, which was a rebellious act.
So civil strife naturally broke out.
It was also because of a civil strife that Zhang Qian and others took the opportunity to escape.
In contrast, the internal strife of the Huns was very serious, which led to extreme internal slackness.
Therefore, in order to re-establish authority.
Since Yi Zhixie took office, he began to launch several wars against the Han Dynasty, but of course the result was miserable.
defeat!
Although it did not hurt the muscles, it also caused people's hearts to fluctuate.
Many nobles below had a lot of opinions about Yi Zhixie.
"What happened? Have those Han people called again?"
Before Yi Zhixie could speak, a Hun noble could not help but speak.
They really can't figure out the situation now!
Fortunately, the big man would not go out of the grassland at all, and basically just defended.
However, in recent years, the great man has made frequent moves and has entered and left the grassland many times.
To be continued...
