Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 242 The first major problem that troubles the historian

Modun's style of play is similar to Liu Chang's.

He will not sit in the rear of the army, and he is also the kind of fierce man who takes the lead. His riding and archery are also unique among the Huns. The army of the Huns is usually commanded by horns. Without a big banner, the Huns never knew where their big danyu was. This was all the experience accumulated by Modun.

The Tang army fought in formations most of the time, but on the grasslands, it was all mobile warfare. The main general did not need to command the army too much. Each general knew what he had to do. Position, it will be very dangerous, because in mobile warfare, Modun does not have the so-called central army. It is a very stupid way to face the enemy full of cavalry on the grasslands and expose the position of the main general.

When fighting Ji Cong earlier, Liu Chang also used the enemy's movements to determine the position of the main general.

But at this moment, Chang Liu was very sure that the guy in front of him was Mo Dun.

Mo Dun raised his head and stared at the vicious Liu Chang, looking at his armor and the banner behind him, which also made his identity clear. Liu Chang rushed towards him, and there was no trace of fear in Mo Dun's eyes. He laughed wickedly, and galloped towards Liu Chang's direction. When the two sides met, Liu Chang swung his knife sharply, as if he wanted to split Mo Dun in the middle.

When Liu Chang swung the sword with all his strength, Mao Dun wrapped his arms around the war horse and leaned sideways, almost hanging on the horse's back, easily dodging Liu Chang's slashing. Chang only felt that his arm seemed to be bitten, and the two horses passed by, but Liu Chang could not hit Mo Dun. Liu Chang continued to charge and killed several Huns in front of him. At that time, Mo Dun also faced him, and the two rode their horses again, killing each other.

Chang Liu had never seen such riding skills before. This man obviously had no harness, but he made movements that could not be done even with harnesses. When the two approached again, Chang Liu did not rush to do it. When the two sides were about to pass each other, Liu Chang learned to be obedient, and split from top to bottom towards Mo Dun, but Mo Dun didn't dodge any more. That force made Liu Chang jerk backwards, his face turned pale, and he could barely grasp the knife in his hand, and the two fought for another round.

Liu Chang charged again until he turned around. At this moment, Mao Dun took out his bow and aimed at Liu Chang in front of him. Liu Chang covered his face with his arms and rushed towards him angrily. , He shoots arrows very fast, and while charging towards Liu Chang, four or five arrows have already been released in his hand.

Even in the case of charging, Modun's head accuracy is also very good, almost all of them hit the target, and one of the arrows even stuck on Liu Chang's armor, almost shooting him in the head, until the two met again. , Liu Chang roared, holding the knife in both hands, slashing towards Mo Dun sideways, wanting to use inertia to cut him directly in half, without hesitation, Mo Dun waved the knife to counterattack again, and the two made a move again. , Under the impact of that huge force, the knife in Mao Dun's hand flew out directly, and Mao Dun leaned back and almost lay on the horse's back. Pass.

At this moment, Liu Chang was overjoyed. Since he set out on the expedition, he has never met anyone who can survive three rounds in his hands, or even one who can hurt him one-on-one. This is the first time. , This dog-in-the-mouth Modun has some skills!

When Liu Chang was about to fight for the fourth time, he found that Modun did not turn around this time, but just ran wildly and disappeared among his cavalry.

"Modun!!!"

Liu Chang roared and chased after him. The Huns in front of him came to attack him one after another. Liu Chang slashed left and right. These people couldn't stop them. He also vaguely saw the figure riding a black horse in the distance, Liu Chang speeded up and continued to chase, just as the two were chasing and running, Mo Dun suddenly turned around, as if he was sitting on the back of a horse, and turned around. It's an arrow.

Liu Chang did not expect such a hand at all, the arrow was extremely fast, and flew straight towards his face, "Bang~~"

A Huns flew towards him and blocked the arrow for Liu Chang.

Liu Chang was stunned, turned his head and saw Ji Buzheng shouting: "Your Majesty!! Command the flag! Turn left!!"

When Ji Bu saw Liu Chang chasing after Mao Dun, he was worried about his safety, so he chased and killed him together and followed Liu Chang's left. When he saw that Mao Dun was about to turn around, he threw a Huns away. After passing by, sure enough, Mo Dun turned around and was an arrow, and Ji Bu blocked the arrow for Liu Chang in a frightening and dangerous way.

Liu Chang gritted his teeth and looked angrily at Mo Dun who disappeared into the crowd, but he still followed Han Xin's command and chased him in the direction he asked.

The Huns soon began to flee. The Huns were basically unable to stop them if they wanted to escape. Han Xin could only use all his strength to keep as many enemies as possible.
When Mo Dun fled the battlefield, his confidants followed him one after another, following him, no one said a word, just kept running wildly.

I don't know how long it took to drive, Mo Dun finally slowed down and turned to look behind him.

A large number of Xiongnu cavalry were fleeing everywhere, and the general beside Modun hurriedly asked, "Da Chanyu? Why did you retreat?"

Mao Dun did not speak, his hands trembled slightly, blood dripped from his fingers continuously, his face was as pale as paper, he could no longer hold the bow, "Let them all return", as soon as Mao Dun opened his mouth, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth He came out and fell off his horse.

"Big order!!!!"

The generals panicked, got off their horses, and hurriedly picked up Mo Dun. Some people started to give orders on his behalf, while the others hurriedly fled the battlefield with him.

Mo Dun sat on the carriage, looked at his hands, his eyes were sad, and he was silent.

The generals rode war horses and drove to the left and right. They looked at Modun. Modun sat lonely in the carriage. Since he woke up, he hadn't said a word. The generals looked at him and looked at his grayish white hair, and was surprised to find that Da Chanyu was already old.

From commanding the Huns to unifying the grasslands, it took Modu 27 years.

This seemingly iron-blooded and powerful Danyu is actually just an old man who is over half a hundred and near sixty.

On the grasslands, such an age is already very long. The lifespan of the Huns is shorter than that of the Han people, and the proportion of the elderly in the tribe is also very small.

"father!!!"

Someone rode a tall horse and rushed to Mo Dun's side. This man looked exactly like Mo Dun, covered in blood. He was also killed from the battlefield. He rushed to Mo Dun's side crying, and was about to speak, Suddenly he yelled, "Wait till I die!!"

The man suddenly stopped crying.

This is the third son of Modun, Junlianghutu. He is not the same as Jicong. He has a violent and cruel personality. He has only learned the cruel side of Modun, but has not inherited other skills. Like him, of course, Modun never liked any of his sons, he felt that these sons of his were a bunch of trash.

Hu Tu said worriedly: "I heard that my father was injured by King Tang. I am very worried, come and visit."

Mo Dun's face darkened, and he resisted not getting angry.

"Father! Don't be angry, the king of Tang is just deceiving you to be old! If you are 20 years younger, he is definitely not your opponent!"

"If you lose, you lose. Where did you come from with so many excuses? Tang Wang is so powerful. Even if I am 30 years younger, I definitely don't have his strength."

Mo Dun immediately asked earnestly, "Have you found it? The horses they ride?"

Hu Tu hurriedly said: "I found it! Their horses were obtained from the Yuezhi people!"

"You idiot!!! I mean their harness!"

Mo Dun was furious and shouted angrily: "The son of the emperor of the Han Dynasty is as brave as a tiger, but my son is as stupid as a sheep!!"

Hu Tu lowered his head, speechless.

"I care about my father too"

"father!!"

Immediately, there was another exclamation in the distance, and another person came running wildly on a war horse. He was also the son of Mo Dun. Hu Tu suddenly raised his head, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

Mo Dun looked at them calmly, then closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Han Xin showed his cards and won an unprecedented victory. They defeated the main army of Modun on the frontal battlefield.

When the Huns retreated, there were war horses wandering all over the mountains.

Han Xin didn't care how much he had won this time. Facing everyone's praise, he didn't show any emotion at all. At this moment, he was just sitting in front of Liu Chang, watching Liu Chang pull out the arrow on his armor. Chang Bian pulled out and shouted, "If it wasn't for Master, you ordered me to change direction, I would have killed Mo Dun long ago. It's all my fault, Master, for making me miss such a feat!"

Han Xin glanced at him, "Before you talk big, pull out the arrow on your head. This is because the armor is strong, otherwise Modun would have shot you through it long ago."

"Master, it's a pity, it's just a little bit, I can kill Mo Dun."

Liu Chang looked a little lost.

However, Han Xin shook his head, "It doesn't matter. This war has hit the Xiongnu so hard that even if Modun is alive, he can't go south again. This is the most important thing."

"That's true"

The heartless Liu Chang smirked again, "Master, can I be considered the first in this battle?"

"Jibu is the first."

"Ah?? Why? It's obvious that the widow kills the most and rushes the fastest!"

"However, you disobeyed orders and chased and killed Modun without authorization, while Ji Bu followed my orders and completed his mission, keeping more than 1 Huns. This is the first achievement."

"Jibu is my lover, and his credit must be counted on the widow's head!"

Han Xin laughed angrily at him, and scolded: "Shuzi! There is no reason for a king to snatch the credit from the generals! You should give up your credit!"

"Why?!"

"Why, do you still want to be promoted by military merit? These things are useless to you."

Han Xin said, suddenly got up and looked at Liu Chang seriously in front of him, "Guan Ying leads the Northern Army, in Gao Que. If someone blocks Henan, he can't go back from the clouds to Henan, and rush from Henan. It only takes a few days to go to Chang'an."

"Seize Chang'an, order the emperor to make concessions. Order the princes to meet. If you don't obey, you can lead the army to go on an expedition, and the Huns can't take advantage of the chaos to attack."

"Come on and be the emperor."

The smile on Liu Chang's face suddenly solidified, he raised his head and looked at Han Xin with a serious face.

"Do you want me to kill my brother and grandmother?"

"In today's world, the reason for all the troubles is because you are not the emperor."

"As long as you are enthroned as emperor, the ministers will not dare to make trouble. The queen mother will no longer think about being in power. Your brother can also be a prince and king with peace of mind, and all conflicts will be resolved easily."

"If you're concerned about your reputation, I can help you with this."

Han Xin was extremely serious.

Liu Chang grinned, "Fame? I've never cared about this."

"I'm not the material to be an emperor at all. In Jinyang, I feel a headache just reading the half-hour playing table. If I am in Chang'an, it is reading the sun and the moon. How tiring to be an emperor, free and easy To be a vassal king, let the ministers handle all the big and small affairs, and go hunting on your own horses, this is great."

"Now, the emperor can still tolerate you, but you are still so young. If the emperor in the future will not allow you, what will you do?"

"The future emperor must have that courage."

"Okay, what if you can accommodate your son? What about your descendants?"

"There is nothing more stupid than giving the power of life and death to others."

"Master. This world is very big. This time, we can set up two counties on the land we have recovered. I want to conquer a country by myself, a country bigger than my father, a place my father has never been to. Why should we always focus on this territory within the great Han when we have to plant the banner of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Father can create such a world from a pavilion. As a prince, can't I surpass him?!"

"I think it's not my descendants who should be worried, but the descendants of the second brother."

"Master, what do you think?"

Liu Chang asked with a smirk.

Han Xin narrowed his eyes, "You want to make two big men. Aren't you afraid that a huge civil war will break out in the future?"

"I'm not an immortal, it's good to live my own life, what about the future, do you want me to worry about it?!"

Han Xin was at a loss for words and did not persuade Chang Liu, "I hope you will not regret today's decision in the future."

"I have never regretted anything in my life."

When Guan Ying returned, he didn't know about this conversation. The generals gathered together to celebrate each other. This time, the big man will have a lot of Che Hou, and these generals are naturally very happy. , The crowd gathered, leaving the garrison, and the rest were preparing to return to Jinyang.

Guan Ying sat helplessly on the chariot of the main general of the Chinese army, and looked at Han Xin beside him awkwardly.

He almost forgot that he was the main general of this war.

But sitting here, Guan Ying felt very uneasy. The eyes around him were always weird, making him feel restless, like a man on his back.

When Zhang Cang brought the crowd to greet them, the ministers even bowed to Guan Ying.

"This great victory is all due to the general's work!"

Guan Ying cleared her throat, "Actually, it's because of the Marquis of Huaiyin."

"If the general didn't reuse Han Xin, how could he have won such a victory?"

"Uh this"

Guan Ying didn't know what to say, but with a dark face, receiving the big gifts from everyone, he reluctantly entered the city. Fortunately, Han Xin didn't think that Guan Ying stole his credit. After he got off the battlefield, he started He closed his eyes and didn't say anything, only Liu Chang sat beside him, chattering and complaining.

When everyone returned to Jinyang, it was natural to have a celebration feast. Liu Chang and everyone were drinking and having fun. They seemed very happy. Everyone also praised King Tang. They all knew that King Tang was good at this. Sure enough, they boasted like this. , Liu Chang was even happier, and insisted on rewarding them.

However, the results of the gains have not yet come out. The front line is still cleaning up the battlefield and counting the results. If you want to reward, you will have to wait for a while.

The banquet was not set up in the palace, but on the school grounds. Chang Liu ordered to reward the three armies and let all the soldiers eat and drink in peace. This was the first time the generals saw such a scene, and Chang Liu did not care about the majesty of the king. , hugging the generals around him, talking loudly and making music, everyone sang and danced.

Liu Chang drunkenly looked at the musicians and shouted loudly: "The widow has such a feat, why don't you make up a piece of music for King Tang?! Always sing incomprehensible songs! Remember them all! Stay! The next time you play music, it must be a piece of music that praises the widow, otherwise, the widow will cook you!"

The day after Liu Chang returned to Jinyang, he hurriedly called Taishi Sima Xi to his side.

Sima Xi stood by the side respectfully, not knowing why Liu Chang called him.

Liu Chang smiled very gently, and just said, "Tai Shi, the widow has achieved a lot in this expedition, and has experienced a lot. As Tai Shi, shouldn't you record it?"

"Of course."

"Then why didn't you come to ask the widow?"

"The widow has a lot to tell you!"

Sima Xi then said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the minister has already started to record it. I asked from the collars of Ji Bu and other generals who went on the expedition, and the situation of other people who went on the expedition as deputy kings. The minister has recorded almost."

"Ah? What can Jibu and the others understand? You should ask the widow!"

Sima Xi had a straight face and did not speak.

Chang Liu asked eagerly, "Can you let the widow see how you recorded it?"

"No."

"Then you have to keep a good record. The few people killed the enemy with their hands and almost killed Mo Dun. No one can stop them. You must remember these!"

"I know."

"By the way, the widow has invented a lot of things before, but what Tang Guoshangfang has invented now is actually designed by the widow!"

"I know."

"Also, the widow used to follow the emperor to visit, often punishing bad people in the local area, and he is quite famous in the local area!"

"I know."

Liu Chang was furious, "Then what is there that you don't know?!"

Sima Xi was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Your Majesty, there is one thing that I really don't know that the minister has asked many people, and everyone said something different. May I ask your Majesty, how did that Qiren Kuaiche die? Your Majesty. Why did you kill him? How did you kill him?"

"Oh Kuaiche?"

"He wrote a book for me, and there was a lot of demeaning in his words, and it was not recorded in the truth, so he was killed."
