Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 232 The Unbridled Tang Wangchang

Liu Chang swallowed a large piece of meat and shouted with a smile, "Luan Bu? Did you see it!"

"The widow killed five or six hundred people in a row!"

"No one can stop it, it is the bravery of an overlord! No, an overlord is not as brave as a widow!"

Luan Bu hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty is brave, but the number of Xiongnu we killed this time was only more than [-] people."

"Huh?? How is this possible? The widow has killed the enemy in pairs. Why are there so few kills? Did you make a mistake?"

"Your Majesty was brave and killed 46 people in a row."

"Huh? The widow killed 140 six people? That's not bad!"

Liu Chang said proudly.

Then Liu Chang looked at Ji Bu again, and shouted, "Ji Bu, did you hear that? Luan Bu said that I killed 240 six people!!"

Ji Bu, who was talking to the captive, was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Luan Bu. Luan Bu read a lot of things in his eyes. Ji Bu seemed to be questioning him: Why did he deliberately lie to flatter the king?Luan Bu couldn't explain it, he raised his head, looked at the sky, and sighed.

He really didn't dare to explain, he was afraid that if he explained again, 240 would become 340.

Liu Chang chattered about his bravery just now, "Hahaha, just now the widow is violent, and the Huns were so frightened that they immediately fell off their horses! The widow's mighty power should really be a temple to commemorate! The widow has already thought about it, After a hundred years of widowhood, the posthumous title is Wu, the temple title is Bingzu, and the Great Tang Bingzu Wuwangchang is called this!"

Luan Bu raised his head again.

"Your Majesty, it's too early for you to think about the posthumous title. Oh, this temple name, forget it."

"Why, do you think the widow is not worthy of this temple name and posthumous title? Like the king of Zhao, at most he will have a Zhou, sorrow, You, etc., or simply come to Li, King Zhao Li! Such a worthy and famous prince, I only hate that there are too few posthumous titles!"

Luan Bu thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized that his own king was actually quite worthy of the word stern.

Tyranny and no relatives are called Li, stubbornness and rudeness are called Li, helping the evil and breaking the right is called Li, and the long tongue is called misfortune. See who this fits the description?

Liu Chang blew for a long time, and then said seriously: "The Huns are really not easy to kill."

"I ran too fast. Once I found it was a disadvantage, I ran straight away, and still fled in all directions. In such a desert, it was too difficult to catch the Huns who were scattered and fled. Fortunately, their arrows were not very sharp. Although the shot was very fast, it failed to penetrate the widow's armor."

"What Feng Jing said is wrong, and what the captain said is also wrong."

"The Xiongnu's difficulty is not because of his strength, but because they run fast, and it is difficult to inflict heavy damage."

Liu Chang analyzed it seriously, and several generals sitting around him nodded.

"They haven't run far yet, and from time to time they come to find out where we are."

When everyone was talking, Ji Bu sat down and looked at Liu Chang, "Your Majesty, it's time for us to go."

"Where to go?"

"Return to Tang Kingdom."

"Ah?? We just came, why are we leaving?"

Ji Bu said earnestly: "I just asked the captives, there are more than ten tribes nearby, and after the knights escaped, they will definitely go and tell them, and soon, they will send a large number of knights to come to us. The number of enemies is at least ten times ours and cannot be matched."

"It's better to get out before they get there."

Liu Chang said proudly: "What about the tenfold enemy?"

Ji Bu said very seriously: "When the king set out on the expedition, he promised his ministers that he would obey his advice and would not act recklessly."

"Ah? Is there any? Why can't the widow remember it?"

"Your Majesty!! How can you be a man without words?!"

"Cough, it's not that the few people don't believe in their words, it's just that the Huns are powerful. If they can't give them a blow now, it will be a disaster for the Tang Dynasty in the future. Why would the few people care about their reputation?" This appearance looks very familiar, and it is a replica of a certain prime minister who does not want to reveal his name.

Ji Bu frowned and was about to take something out of his sleeve.

"Oh, take it, is it your mother's edict?"

Liu Chang stood up proudly, looked at the surrounding generals, and asked, "Do you want to respect my king's order, or do you want to respect Chang'an's edict?!"

"I am willing to die for the king!!!"

The generals shouted, drew their swords one after another, and looked at Ji Bu with bad eyes. Ji Bu was immediately surrounded by these people, Ji Bu pondered for a moment, his face was still calm, "Your Majesty, what do you want left?"

"Hehe, the Huns can run. But their tribes can't and can follow them, right?"

Liu Chang looked at the generals around him and said angrily: "In these ten years, the Huns have plundered hundreds of times, killing tens of thousands of my people. Today, it is time to avenge the Tang state, widowed people. He is by no means a gentleman, but he also understands favor and hatred. Those who are kind to the widow, the widow will repay tenfold, and those who have hatred for the widow, the widow will repay tenfold!"

"Respect the king and oppose the barbarians, just today!!!"

"only!!!"

Everyone shouted, Liu Chang got on his horse, looked at Ji Bu in front of him, and asked loudly: "Ji Sheren, follow the widow to kill a few more thieves to forgive your sins!"

Ji Bu's face was full of helplessness, but he still lowered his head, "Wei!"

Under the leadership of the guide, Liu Chang started a surprise attack on the tribe of the Huns. The Huns had already noticed the invasion of the Tang people at this time. Of course, they did not know that the commander of this army was the king of Tang, and You Xian, who was sitting here. Wang, immediately began to mobilize the knights of various ministries to prepare to encircle and suppress this Tang army.

After King Youxian transferred these knights, various tribes encountered Tang Jun's attack. Liu Chang's idea was very simple. Since he couldn't take them away, he would burn them and use the greatest method to weaken the power of the Huns.

Ji Conge was riding a tall horse. When he brought the knights to the nearest tribe, he only saw the fire and smoke billowing from the sky.

There were corpses everywhere, even the horses were killed.

Vehicles, supplies, and limited arable land were all burned down at this moment.

Ji Porridge looked at this scene with a serious face, but his face was extraordinarily calm, "The number of enemies is not many, not the five thousand as those people said."

"How did the king know?"

"If there is a large group of people, they will definitely take these materials away, and they will never be willing to kill and incinerate."

"Also, they have been attacking our small tribe these days, but they have not attacked the big tribe. The enemy is about 2000 people."

Ji Conge narrowed his eyes and analyzed the enemy's movements according to the current situation.

He instructed the left and right: "Now send troops to tell the surrounding tribes, let them gather towards Shuofang, don't be alone."

"I personally took the troops to the front of Henan. I cut off these people's logistical supplies so that they could not return to Tang, so I killed them here and used them as sacrifices."

This is the first time Ji Conge has encountered an enemy who adopts the same tactics as the Huns. They fight while running. These people are uncertain, coming and going like the wind. When they find a weak tribe, they attack, and when they encounter a strong one, they flee. , "If you are good, you will advance, if you are disadvantaged, you will retreat, and you will not be ashamed to walk away. If you want to benefit, you don't know propriety and righteousness."

This is a very pure Xiongnu warfare, but Ji Conge is not worried, the destructive power that more than a thousand people can produce is limited, and when the tribe gathers, they can no longer loot, but he can cut off their power. Later, pack them in Henan and eat them all!

Ji Conge called another knight and asked seriously, "Are you sure their commander is a fierce general on a white horse?"

"To the king, that man is very brave, with a spear. No one can stop it"

There was still some fear in the knight's eyes.

Ji Cong laughed, "If this is the case, then this person should be used by me. If it is a battle, try to capture it alive, and I will let this person command the army for me!"

At this moment, Liu Chang was sitting on the side of a hillside with everyone, leaning on the meat, and eating the meat with great interest.

In these days, they have defeated four tribes in a row, and the materials they have obtained are innumerable. They burned a lot, and the rest were used as their own supplies.

"Modun is really good, this tactic is so practical!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone was eating meat, Liu Chang wiped his mouth, took another sip of wine, and said proudly: "This is what a man should do! Kill his enemies, grab their cattle and sheep to eat in front of the bonfire, It's a pity that there is no woman for company!"

A general said: "There are also women among the Xiongnu tribe."

However, Liu Chang shook his head and said seriously: "He is a beast, but I am not."

"Your Majesty. It's time to go. This time, we have achieved a lot. If we don't go, they will definitely go."

"To cut off our retreat so that we can't go back."

Liu Chang said calmly.

Ji Bu was taken aback, "Since the king knows, why don't you leave?"

"Hahaha, this vast desert can go anywhere, how can they stop it?"

Liu Chang wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then said, "Since he's here, let him be cruel. If the widow is right, that Right Xian King is mobilizing troops to block our way, and at the same time. Gather the tribe and avoid our attack!"

"Yeah. Your Majesty, when the tribe gathers, we can't do anything."

"It turned out that we had to find the tribes to kill one by one. Now that they are all gathered together, how can they be unable to start?"

Luan Bu was startled, and he hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, the Huns have raised their clan as soldiers, and several clans have gathered together. There are forty or fifty thousand bowmen. We are only over a thousand people, so how can we fight against them?"

Liu Chang glanced at Luan Bu, then at Ji Bu, and said proudly: "These days, we can meet the Huns wherever we go. They use a hundred people as a team to search for our traces everywhere, which means that they are involved in us. what?"

"It means that the enemy has cut off our retreat, so we can search for our position with all our strength and want to annihilate us."

Ji Bu was worthy of being a general who had participated in the battle between Chu and Han, and he could see the key at a glance.

Liu Chang raised his head and laughed, "This is the end of the matter, we have no way out, either to kill more Huns, or be surrounded by them and wait to die here!"

Luan Bu looked at Liu Chang's appearance, his own king's demeanor, and without knowing it, he thought he had surrounded the enemy.

Ji Bu is more familiar with it, why don't you put it away?

Liu Chang said proudly: "I have studied with the Marquis of Huaiyin and practiced how to fight the Huns. I have learned the art of war for more than 20 years, and today I finally have the opportunity to use it!"

"Jibu, let's hurry slowly and find a place to hide for a few days, waiting for their tribes to gather together. Catch them all in one go."

"it is good!"

At this point, Ji Bu can't object, he can only cooperate fully.

And the Huns couldn't find the whereabouts of the enemy for a long time, and they were a little anxious at the moment, but King Youxian was still very calm. In winter, on the grasslands, hunger and cold wind are more terrifying than the Huns.

Liu Chang led the knights to hide in Tibet and wandered around Shuofang all day.

This city has long been destroyed, and the appearance of the city cannot be seen at all, and many tribes have gathered here, livestock in groups, war horses running like waves, large and small tents towering around the city, thick smoke constantly. Drifting, it was very lively.

Liu Chang didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered by their herdsmen. There is no good place to hide.

The surroundings of the gathering place are flat and endless.

Under the night, the stars are extremely bright.

The white horse on the high slope rubbed its front hooves, and the nostrils kept spewing mist.

Holding a spear, Liu Chang calmly looked at the tents in the distance. There were so many tents, like trees, with no end in sight. Bonfires were lit everywhere, and the Huns could be heard shouting loudly. The livestock were all in simple enclosures. Rest peacefully inside.

The knights were distributed on both sides of Liu Chang, and they were all staring at the tent in the distance at the moment.

Liu Chang did not speak, and pointed the spear in his hand forward.

For a time, the knights filed out from his left and right, and Liu Chang jumped on his horse. The entire knights seemed to be a torrent running down the mountain, swept toward the enemy, and their speed was not fast. when.

"Kill~~~"

When he could see the knights in front of the bonfire, Liu Chang roared.

The knights roared in anger, and then they attacked the enemy. These enemies had no defense. Liu Chang pierced the enemy in front of him with a spear, threw his body out, and smashed it directly on the tent in the distance. .

"Arson!!"

These elite knights smashed the bonfires with their horsemanship, and some simply threw the torches all over the place. The night in the grasslands was extremely cold. Therefore, the bonfires were always available. In order to prevent fires, the Huns usually The bonfire was built with stones, and a firebreak was formed around it, and it became mud.

The spear in Liu Chang's hand smashed the burning firewood around, but the whole person was still running wildly without stopping.

More than a thousand people rushed into this gathering point, and they were immediately submerged. Under the shelter of the night and the shelter of the tent, the Xiongnu knights looked around, but did not know what happened.The knights screamed and set fire everywhere, causing the Huns to wake up in terror from the night, and then hurried out of the camp and began to confront the enemy.

There was chaos everywhere, and the roar of the Huns could be heard everywhere. Liu Chang kept waving the spear in his hand, but everyone he encountered had no chance of surviving, and Ji Bu brought people to destroy the circle. , a large number of livestock began to flee, and they were frightened and fled, causing chaos again.

The knights went all the way from the far left of the camp to the far right. When they came here, Liu Chang did not stop, and hurriedly fled here with the knights.

Just behind them, in the Huns camp, there was still chaos at the moment, only a few Huns cavalry saw the enemy and were chasing, while the rest didn't know who they were fighting, the fire was blazing into the sky, and the animals were whining.

Liu Chang rushed out and laughed loudly.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! There are still six knights who couldn't keep up! They were caught up by the Huns!!"

Luan Bu shouted.

Liu Chang suddenly reined in his horse, roared angrily, turned around and charged towards the Huns behind him.

Under the moonlight, the Huns who were chasing saw a general riding a white horse rushing towards him fiercely. His face changed greatly, he turned around and ran away, while Liu Chang roared, killing several enemies in a row, and chasing one by himself. The Xiongnu cavalry stunned them into the camp. He looked at the injured knights and said, "Bring them up!! Go!!"

The crowd left again.

Ji Conge's face was gloomy, looking at the crying clan leaders in the distance, but without the slightest reluctance, he directly ordered the beheading.

He turned around and looked at the dilapidated camp in front of him. He never thought that Tang people would have such courage to attack this time. Tang people could not kill many people, and they could not fight at night. , the damage they caused was enormous.

In the chaos, I don't know how many Huns were burned to death and trampled to death. Some of them killed each other and a lot of materials were burned. The same is true of livestock. Now they are still looking for escaped livestock, and the most important thing is, morale.

Over the years, the Huns have never suffered such a loss!
This was really a huge blow to the Xiongnu in Henan. Looking at the blackened camp and the terrified clansmen around them, Ji Cong couldn't help but curse.

"Send all the knights out!! Be sure to catch these people!! I will cook them to death!! Eat their meat!!!"

His left and right were a little scared at the moment, and he was about to send someone when Ji Conge took a deep breath and stopped them again.

"Forget it, don't send too many people, lest they escape. Be more careful and be alert to their second attack. Also, write a letter to tell Da Chanyu, I suspect that the Tang people still have big moves, and let Da Chanyu send someone to rescue us. ."

His general asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty. If you send someone to ask for help, Da Shan Yu will definitely be very angry. You have a reputation for hurting you, but you are only a thousand enemies."

Ji Conge shook his head and said disdainfully, "As long as he can defeat the enemy, what kind of honor does he have? I'd rather let my father beat me up, and I can't let these people go."

"Going right now!"

"Yes!"

Just when Ji Conge was sending people around to prevent Tang Jun from returning, and when he sent people to ask Mo Dun for help, Liu Chang had already left Henan.

Yes, he left Henan, but he did not head south or west to return to his own territory. Instead, he went all the way north and came directly to the hinterland of the Xiongnu. After several victories, the hearts of the knights There is no fear at all, and they are willing to follow Liu Chang to continue to fight.

Liu Chang was sitting in front of a tent at the moment, eating meat with a smile, while on the side, there were a lot of Huns, they shivered when they looked at these gluttonous Tang people in horror.

They were originally a small tribe of the Xiongnu, with only a few hundred people. One day they were grazing as usual, and suddenly an army appeared in front of them. The nobles of the Xiongnu who were guarding here led them and were directly killed by the general who rode a white horse. Dead, even his entourage could not escape, all were killed.

And they hurriedly begged for mercy, they were not the Huns.

Half are Dingling people, and half are Donghu people.

After defeating the surrounding enemies, Mo Dun forcibly disrupted them, scattered them all over the place, and reduced their cohesion. Such small clans usually send a dozen or so Huns to take care of them, and they have been cast into a psychological shadow by Mo Dun. Unarmed, they did not dare to resist.

Liu Chang happened to have guides from all over the world. These people translated their words to Liu Chang, and Liu Chang did not kill them.

Liu Chang ate the meat and looked at the frightened people in the distance.

"You don't have to be afraid! The widow is the king of Tang! This time I came with the army to rescue you people who were bullied by the Huns!"

"Luan Bu! Give them meat!"
