Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 513 Here comes a more ruthless one
Inside and outside the city, black smoke billowed.

The soldiers of the Han army are collecting the remains. Except for their own corpses that need to be taken away, even the corpses of the Huns must be buried or burned immediately. This is all from the experience of the Warring States period. The enemy's corpses were exposed in the wild, and those who didn't collect them seemed to suffer some kind of curse, and the disease was rampant. They couldn't explain this phenomenon, and they could only attribute it to inhumanity or ghosts and gods.

The whole city is a military fortress, so there are not many people, and those soldiers who followed Hutu were not the elite of the Xiongnu. They could not resist Xia Houying's attack, but they were still taken by Xia Houying's army. Heavy blow.

Ji Porridge is still very prestigious among them. As long as Ji Porridge is still here, their combat effectiveness will not be greatly affected. For a long time, until the city was broken and Ji Porridge died, only the soldiers chose to surrender.

The tall and strong fortress has also become dilapidated at this moment. Xia Houying drove out of the fortress. Looking at the corpses everywhere along the way, Xia Houying's face was also a little heavy. No matter what, the siege battle will pay a heavy price. The price, even with a sharp weapon like gunpowder, is no exception, especially when facing such a tall building.

Accompanied by many generals, Han Xin passed the gate of the city and met Xia Houying who was returning. Xia Houying got out of the car in a hurry and handed over his spoils to Han Xin respectfully.

Ji porridge's head.

When the generals around learned that it was Ji Porridge's head, they all couldn't help but marvel. Ji Porridge has always been a cunning and powerful enemy that plagued the big man. And he can always think of various ways to hinder the big man. If it weren't for Ji Porridge, the big man would have started a lot of trade with Shendu.

Every time he is defeated, he can always gather the tribe quickly, replenish his strength quickly, and make a comeback again. He copied the system of the big man and adapted measures to local conditions. The Xiongnu army was continuously strengthened in his hands, and the combat effectiveness was getting higher and higher. That is to say, in these years, the various ministries of the Huns have been severely corrupted. Except for his royal army, the rest of the Huns have weakened a lot.

When seeing his head being sacrificed, the generals felt a little complicated. Did Ji Porridge die so easily? ?
How could the difficult Ji Congee die so easily?

Could this be his golden cicada's plan to escape?This is a stand-in?
Different from the random thoughts of the generals, Han Xin is very calm. Han Xin attaches great importance to the role of intelligence. Before going to war, he will expend a lot of energy to investigate the enemy's situation, but since the Huns have been corrupted, a lot of information is very easy. You can get it, and many of them are about this great Chanyu.

No matter where the information comes from, it shows that the great chanyu's physical condition is very bad. He even fainted several times during the meeting. The younger brother presided over it. The Huns themselves have concluded that the big chanyu will not survive. This year, Hutu was even preparing for the enthronement ceremony.

The upper echelons of the Huns don’t like Ji Porridge very much. Relying on their huge prestige, Ji Porridge has been oppressing them, restraining them, restricting them, and even forcing them to do things they don’t want to do, such as studying Big man.
"Yes, Not Bad."

Han Xin nodded, affirming Xia Houying's military achievements.

Xia Houying stood up, "Your Majesty, there are not many soldiers around Ji Porridge, and they have already evacuated. Is this internal strife? Or is it simply that we don't dare to attack by force and have dispatched too many troops?"

"He realized that he couldn't walk anymore, and time was running out, so he handed over all the elite to his younger brother, while he stayed here and continued to fight us. At this moment, Hutu has begun to surround Zhou Yafu's army , and are going to completely withdraw to the territory of Shenpo, and block the mountain pass. The territory above Shenpo, they will give up, and they will burn and destroy it."

What Han Xin said was very resolute, it was never possible, or such words, as if everything was just as he said.

Xia Houying was taken aback, "Isn't Zhou Yafu in danger then? His army is only over 1, and he has continued to attack for several months. If he meets the elite of the Huns, he will be on an unfamiliar battlefield. Your Majesty!! Please Allow me to go to the rescue now!"

Not only Xia Houying, but also the rest of the generals were taken aback at the moment. The majestic King of the Huns actually sacrificed himself directly in order to destroy the strategy of the big man. crazy.

As for Zhou Yafu, he is the youngest Chehou today, or the one he played himself, the son of Jianghou, His Majesty's best friend, and Lu Tazhi. If something happened to the two of them, the generals dare not imagine that His Majesty would How angry, maybe the Taiwei will be fine, but it's hard to say for the rest.

Under his rage, His Majesty could tear them apart with his hands.

Thinking of the emperor's angry face, even these experienced generals couldn't help feeling terrified.

But Han Xin laughed, he was not worried about this problem at all.

"The reason why I was on guard against the Xiongnu before was because Ji Porridge was leading them. Ji Porridge knew the overall situation and people. If Zhou Yafu and his like met him, it would be hard to tell the outcome. But now, Ji Porridge is dead, so there is nothing wrong with his arrangements, but he overestimated the people under his command."

"These Huns enjoy the splendor and wealth in today's territory, and they regard it as useless to fight against the big man. If Ji Porridge is still there, they can still obey his orders. Once Ji Porridge is dead, they will enjoy peace of mind. Are they going to strangle the Han army and retreat? Hehe, Hutu doesn’t have the strength to mobilize those tribal leaders.”

"Release all the prisoners of war, let them bring back the news of Ji Porridge's death, and spread it to various places as quickly as possible. We don't need to support, as long as we continue to spread the news of Ji Porridge's death, besides, now we There is a shortage of food, and this guy burned the food and grass in the city, even if we want to reinforce, we can't move forward."

Xia Houying was still a little worried, "What if something happens to Zhou Yafu?"

"Heh, he's no match for Ji Porridge. Let's say he's young and inexperienced. If he can't even win the protective coating, he's dead!"

Han Xin waved his hand disdainfully, Xia Houying was speechless immediately.

Han Xin then lowered his head and looked at Ji Porridge's closed head.

"Seal it and send it to Chang'an."

"only!!"

As Han Xin predicted, when the prisoners of war fled and brought the news of Ji Porridge's death to various places, the leaders of the Xiongnu who had already prepared to get up and join forces with Hutu began to hesitate.Among the Huns, there were quite different opinions, especially these high-level officials, who had no intention of fighting against the big man. Ji Porridge built fortresses in the frontier, hoarded grain and grass, set up checkpoints, and attacked the caravan of the big man.

In the eyes of the leaders of various places, this is simply asking for trouble. The territory here is so large and so fertile. Let the Han people do whatever they want. Anyway, they don’t have the strength to go on an expedition, so why provoke them?Wouldn't it be nice to manage the current site with peace of mind and enjoy the glory and wealth?

Sometimes they say that they should imitate the big man, and sometimes they say that they should cherish the people under their command. Can those slaves be regarded as their own?Now that the Chancellor is gone, can his orders be revoked?
Facing the Huns, Zhou Yafu did not take a defensive position. Instead, he took an offensive and went all the way to Wangcheng. Under the arrangement of Ji Porridge, Hutu successfully cut off his retreat. Immediately, the two sides began several confrontations.

During this process, Zhou Yafu broke out unprecedented calmness. He avoided direct confrontation with the enemy, kept fleeing, forced Hutu to divide his troops, and then attacked the army divided by Hutu, trying to fight more and less, and give back to the pursuing Huns. People are hit hard.

Hutu was not in a hurry, and ordered the Huns from all over the country to help intercept it.

However, at this moment, he heard the news from the front that Da Shanyu had died in battle.

Hutu panicked, and he hurriedly sent someone to verify the news. At the same time, he also missed the best time to pursue Zhou Yafu. As for the Xiongnu nobles who received Hutu's order, they were just pretending at the moment, and some of them even If you don’t want to pretend anymore, when you meet the Han army, just abandon the city and loot as you like, anyway, you won’t be able to take much away, so I’ll come again after you’ve robbed.

Ji Porridge's death completely changed the situation north of Shendu.

The Xiongnu was in great chaos, and Hutu failed to fulfill all the things that Ji Porridge had arranged. At this moment, he was very sad, but also very excited, because he was going to be a great chanyu.

And this great Chanyu firmly believed that his brother's strategy of withdrawing to Shendu territory was useless. He wanted to continue to capture the territory of the Daxia people, expand the territory of the Huns, and he wanted to revive the glory of the Huns!
Therefore, he gave up the strategy of going south, and even gave up the encirclement and suppression of Zhou Yafu, and directly led his troops to the royal court, preparing to ascend the throne as the Great Chanyu.

Ji Porridge had thought about everything, but he didn't expect that the younger brother he had been with him all year round and taught by precepts and deeds, had no progress at all. There is no pity at all, because the southern road is the most severely war-torn area, and you can't grab any good things. It's better to go to Daxia, where everything is available. What are you doing guarding this rotten land?
It is easy to be attacked by the Han people if you guard here. It is better to let it out directly. The Han people can do whatever they want, as long as they don’t disturb us.

Hu Tu was proud of his foresight and quickly withdrew.

Zhou Yafu thought that the next battle would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect it to be so anticlimactic. Once Ji Porridge died, the Huns directly lost their final ambition, or in other words, lost the courage to continue to fight against the big man, and directly set their goals on Hu Tu even complained that if it wasn't for his brother's long-term division of troops against the Han army, he would have wiped out Da Xia long ago, so why bother?
As for Lu Tazhi, at this moment he has successfully contacted the Kingslayer Dynasty.

The prestige of the big man is resounding throughout his body.

Since the arrival of the Huns, they have completely refreshed the poisonous people's understanding of the East. The Huns who just came were not in the semi-corrupted state they are today. Wan Dajun chased and fought, and Ji Porridge defeated Xunjia's 1 army with more than 3 cavalry, and even forced the two mortal enemies, Daxia and Xunjia, to join forces to fight against the powerful Huns.

Later, the big man intervened, which made it impossible for the Huns to deal with these two big countries with all their strength.

They thought that the Huns were the most powerful force in the east, but later they learned that these Huns were once more tyrannical, with 20 elite cavalry, but were defeated by a stronger empire, and now the Huns have not attacked for the time being, It was also because the powerful empire behind this made a move, which made them extremely shocked. Daxia detoured to Dahan and brought back a lot of news there.

For example, it is a country ruled by gods, the ruler is a god, a giant, who can eat ten cows in one meal, has the power to overturn mountains and rivers, is omnipotent, has a large territory, and is poisonous. It is just a city of others, with millions of elite fighters. The original words of the envoy of Daxia are definitely not like this, but the more it spreads, the more mysterious it becomes. When it was rumored that the Sunga Dynasty had become like this.

Therefore, when they learned that the legendary empire had fought its way out among the Huns and had come to their side, their moods were extremely complicated, with fear and admiration at the same time.

Sunga is sitting on a golden throne, wearing armor made of gold. Sunga is more than 60 years old this year. This general who has also experienced many battles, the destroyer of the Mauryan Dynasty, the slayer, and the founder of the new dynasty, Now it looks a little uneasy.Sunga looks very mighty, tall, strong and strong. He has a very paranoid love for gold, and his palace is decorated with gold everywhere.

Including himself, he is covered in gold, and his ministers are very flattering to call him the Golden King, which makes Sunga very happy, but those who hate him still call him a kingslayer.

He took advantage of the opportunity of inviting the king to parade, killed the king of chariots, and established the current dynasty. In these years, he has always wanted to restore the territory of the Maurya dynasty. Achievement, the sudden arrival of the Huns broke his ambition, and he had already abandoned a lot of land.

"The Han Empire is Coming"

Xun Jia whispered, looked at the people in front of him suddenly, and asked, "What should we do?"

"Your Majesty should be asking, how should we receive him?"

Sunga's chief adviser asked back.

Sunga immediately realized that they couldn't even stop the Huns, let alone the even more powerful Han Empire. No matter what their purpose was, they could only show favor and not reject them. Therefore, they could only is the reception.

"Well, reception. Reception to the highest standard."

"What about after that?"

"It depends on what the Han Empire thinks. I heard that when the envoys of the Great Xia Kingdom arrived in Han, Han did not embarrass them. Instead, they gave them food and escorted them back. They should be different from the Huns. of."

After negotiating, they immediately issued an order to invite the distinguished guests of these big men to the royal city.

Lu Tazhi led more than [-] elite cavalry to Wangcheng. He came this time to form an alliance with Xunjia. Han Xin's strategic concept is to let Xunjia border on the big Han. There are a lot of things to do. The big Han is really unable to continue to expand at present, but Xunjia is different. The road was originally the land of the Mauryan Dynasty, but it was lost later. The Xunjia people will soon be able to stabilize their rule here. of.

Moreover, there are big men protecting them, which can also guarantee the safety of the business.

This is to create a safe zone between the big man and the poisonous man. In name, this safe zone is handed over to the poisonous man to take care of it. In fact, this is the back garden of the big man, and he can come and go as he pleases.

With a straight face, Lu Tazhi rode a tall horse and led the cavalry to the royal city. The royal city of the Mauryan Dynasty really had a special momentum. The tall city wall was majestic but magnificent, and it occupied a huge area, with no end in sight. Lu Tazhi frowned. In the past, when he heard those poisonous people talking about the Maurya Dynasty, he thought they were bragging. Now it seems that the past dynasty was indeed very powerful.

The capital city alone already has the appearance of Chang'an. The three inner and outer cities are very majestic.

The officials of Xunjia stood on both sides, waiting for the envoy of the great Han.

Lu Tazhi was not afraid at all, and proudly walked through them. When he entered the city, the city was even more lively. The Xunjia people prepared a lot of musicians. The moment Lu Tazhi entered, these musicians began to play They had all kinds of musical instruments, none of which Lu had ever seen before. There were five or six hundred people playing music, and the music immediately resounded throughout the capital.

Lu Tazhi nodded again, this is a country that knows etiquette.

The Han Dynasty judged whether a country was polite or not, in fact, it was by looking at their music. Music must be polite. Many ceremonies in the Han Dynasty required musicians. From a horizontal perspective, the great civilizations of the same era all had such culture and rituals. The country mainly focuses on music, while other tribal countries, or small countries, do not have it. It is not wrong for the big man to distinguish it.

In the sound of the music, the dancers started to dance. On both sides of the street, their faces were painted with various colors, and they started an exaggerated dance. At first glance, they thought it was a Chu country dance!

In the dark, those great empires that have influenced the world have many things in common. Most of the time, they admire each other. Of course, in today's world, there is no great empire that can respect each other with a big man. The Maurya Dynasty has perished, and the Parthian Empire has just gotten rid of control and is becoming stronger. As for Rome, it is still in its infancy.

In any case, the Sunga people's reception ceremony is still very grand.

Xunga, who was wearing a golden armor, rode an elephant and came to meet the envoys of the Han Dynasty in person, but his heart became more and more impatient. If they came with malice, what would he do? ?
