I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 197 The Emperor Guards the Country ([-])
Liu Long told Maodun's story vividly and vividly. When he just talked about it in general terms, Deng Zun's eyes began to shine.

He didn't expect that His Majesty really knew this Mao Dun so well, and from Liu Long's words, Deng Zun understood that he seemed to have some special feelings for this Mao Dun.

It's not admiration, but it's quite a feeling of admiration?
Deng Zun is considered to be half a rough man. He longs for the battlefield, so he is not good at fine brushwork. It is indeed unclear in this regard.

But he could still feel the emotion.

But before he could speak, Liu Long started to continue.

"But having said that, although this Mao Dun is a hero, I can't just say that about today's matter!

Namo Dun was a hero and could be regarded as a hero on the grassland, but he was not a king.

This person's character is too utilitarian, and he used many means to get to the situation that day, so he is very suspicious.

This led to the subsequent events. Although he was not considered a failure, he finally exposed many problems of the Huns!

After General Fan Kuai regained Yunzhong Land, Emperor Taizu Gao also obeyed Liu Jing's wishes and began the marriage.

Since then, this matter has come to a conclusion.

But from that moment onwards, Mao Dun became a little arrogant and even looked down upon the world.

In the 12th year of my reign in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao died and Emperor Xiaohui succeeded to the throne. At that time, the Lu family could be regarded as covering the sky with one hand.

And after Namodu lost his great rival, Emperor Gao, my great ancestor, he became even more arrogant.

Mao Dun actually dared to write to Empress Lu and insult her in such a way!

What else to say.
"He is a lonely monarch who was born in a swamp and grew up in a grassland?

He really doesn't know what it means to be embarrassed, right?
Are you really being shameless here?
I even dared to say that I came to the border many times, hoping to visit the Central Plains.

He also said that Empress Dowager Lu should be independent as the king, saying that she was also lonely and lived alone.

Even though they were both widowed monarchs, they were very unhappy and had no way to entertain themselves. It would be better for them to exchange what they had for what they had nothing. "

What is this called?
This is called provocation, this is called presumptuous!
It is said that after reading the letter, Empress Lu felt that she had been greatly provoked and insulted, and was ready to kill the Xiongnu envoys and send troops to conquer the Xiongnu.

It was at this time that the surrendered minister Ji Bu gave up his dissuasion, saying that the Xiongnu were like animals and not worthy of being angry at their words.

But it was at this time that the Huns began to go downhill!
After Emperor Xiaowen succeeded to the throne, the Xiongnu began to have civil strife. King Youxian of the Xiongnu entered the Hetao area to live, invading and plundering the small border towns.

So Emperor Xiaowen ordered Prime Minister Guan Ying to dispatch [-] chariots and cavalry to Gaonu to attack King Youxian of the Xiongnu.

King Youxian fled outside the wall.

Emperor Xiaowen even went to Taiyuan in person, which coincided with the rebellion of Jibei King Liu Xingju, so Emperor Xiaowen did not continue the expedition.

So he returned to the capital and disbanded the army sent by the prime minister to attack the Xiongnu.

And a year later, Maodun sent me a letter from the Han Dynasty, saying that the Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu was appointed by heaven to ask if the emperor was okay.

In the past, the emperor made peace and marriage arrangements, saying that he was happy with the letter.The Han border officials invaded and insulted King Youxian, but King Youxian refused to invite him. He listened to Houyi Luhou Nan's plan and distanced himself from the Han officials, breaking the agreement between the two masters and breaking away from the relationship between brothers.

The emperor ordered the letter to come again, and sent an envoy to report it with a letter. If he did not come, the Han envoy would not come, and the Han Dynasty would not be at peace because of this, and the neighboring countries would not follow.

Now, because of the defeat of the minor official, I will punish King You Xian and send him to the west to seek the Yuezhi to attack him.With the blessing of heaven, the officers and soldiers are good, the horses are strong, the Yueshi are destroyed by barbarians, and they are all killed and surrendered.

Dingloulan, Wusun, Hujie and 26 other countries were all considered Xiongnu.All the people who draw bows are one family.

Beizhou has been settled, and the soldiers and horses have been laid to rest, the past affairs have been eliminated, and the old promises have been restored to calm the border people and respond to the ancient times, so that the young can grow up, the old can live in peace, and the world can be peaceful and happy.

He did not get the emperor's ambition, so he sent the doctor Tie Yuqian to invite him with a letter, offering him a horse, two horses, and two horses.The emperor did not want the Xiongnu to approach the fortress, so he ordered the officials and the people to stay far away.As soon as the envoy arrives, he will be dispatched.

Soon, Namodu finally passed away.

His son Jizhu became the king and was called Laoshang Chanyu.

At this moment, all the Huns' past has become a distant memory.

The old Shang Shanyu is actually pretty good. He has also attacked the Yuezhi in the past 14 years, leaving me a big man with no choice. He repeatedly attacked me, and in the end he could only humiliate me and his relatives.

In the past 14 years, there seemed to be no major internal problems, but the hidden dangers left by Maodun before continued to explode!

He even gave up the marriage agreement several times and wanted to continuously invade our country. This made his son, the military minister Shanyu, completely become a major sinner of the Xiongnu.

After the military minister Chanyu came to the throne, he once again gave up the peace policy, raised troops and marched southward, plundering a large number of people and wealth. The alarm beacon of the Han Dynasty once reached Ganquan Palace!

At that time, Emperor Xiaowen died, Emperor Xiaojing succeeded to the throne, the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion broke out, and our Han Dynasty suffered from internal and external troubles.

It was really unable to resist the Huns' invasion.

Wu Chu and other seven countries even rebelled and prepared to unite with the Xiongnu to invade Chang'an directly.

However, because the rebellion of Wu Chu and other major princes was quickly quelled, even though Zhao State still held on for nine months under the central army, the military minister Shan Yu finally gave up the plan to attack.

Later, Emperor Xiaojing gave the Xiongnu treasures and the palace maids continued to implement the marriage policy, finally keeping both parties quiet.

After that, the Xiongnu no longer harassed the border on a large scale until the early days of Emperor Xiaowu!
Because I, a big man, gave the Xiongnu a lot of benefits and even made a lot of concessions!
This allowed for a rare peace between the Xiongnu and our Han Dynasty in the early stage. Xiongnu civilians could freely travel to and from the Han-Hungarian border for trade. It seemed that real peace between the Han and Xiongnu had begun.

But everyone knows that this is just the final silence.

The Huns want to swallow us up, and I, a big man, also want to make them pay for their lives and avenge countless martyrs!

In the second year of Yuanguang reign of Emperor Xiaowu, the prefect of Mayi City in our Han Dynasty discovered by chance that some big businessmen in the Central Plains violated the ban and did private work!

I want to transport goods to the Xiongnu for trading and make a lot of money.

So Emperor Xiaowu asked him to contact the great businessman Nie Yi, pretending to sell out the city of Mayi, in order to lure the military minister Chanyu, hoping to eliminate the Xiongnu in one fell swoop.

But the military minister Chanyu believed this and was greedy for the property of Mayi City, so he sent [-] cavalry to invade the frontier fortress.

At this time, I, a big Han, ambushed an army of more than [-] troops near Mayi City.

When Shan Yu's army was about to enter the Han Dynasty's border fortress and was still more than a hundred miles away from Mayi City, he saw livestock all over the fields but no one grazing them. He felt strange and went to attack the Han Dynasty's reconnaissance outpost.

Fortunately, one of the prisoners captured by the Huns was Wei Shi, who reported to Shan Yu the intentions and ambush location of our Han army.

Shanyu, the military minister, suddenly realized this and led his troops back.When he walked out of the border, he said: "It is God's will that I get Wei Shi. God asked you to report to me." He named Wei Shi the "King of Heaven".It is known as the "Siege of Mayi" in history.

From then on, the military ministers Shanyu broke off their fraternal relations, attacked the frontier fortresses leading to important roads, and often invaded the Han Dynasty's borders to plunder, too many times to count.

In the winter of [-] BC, Yimao, the second year of Yuanshuo, the military minister Shanyu died. His younger brother, King Yi Zhixie of Zuoguli, established himself as the Shanyu. He forced the military minister Shanyu, the crown prince, to flee into the Han territory and surrender. He was granted the title of Marquis of She'an and died a few months later.

Not long after Yi Zhixie became the Chanyu, the Huns' life became worse day by day.

And life has become very unstable.

On the whole, their appearance led to the continuous intertwining and constant changes of the Huns' power.

In the end, the power was not as strong as before, but I, a big man, also succeeded in getting to where I am now!
Emperor Xiaowu worked hard for three generations and finally conquered the huge mountain of Xiongnu.

From then on, this world has also reached an era where I, a big man, am the master of the affairs. "

Liu Long introduced all the history of the Xiongnu's fortune and decline in one breath, and then took a deep breath and looked at Deng Feng and Deng Zun in front of him.

"I know that with the current appearance of the big man, I don't know how many people are worried, fearing that Wuhuan and Xianbei will become a serious problem for my big man.

Even the Qiang Hu.

Worried that they will become a new Huns.

But what I really want to say is, what if they really become the Huns?

Deng Zun, you said it before, and I listened!
I even watched Xianbei specifically and felt that he was the Xiongnu of the past, exactly the same as the Xiongnu of the past!
Back then, Xianbei was defeated by the Liaodong governor Xiexi. From then on, he did not dare to have any more ideas, and then he became like a loyal dog to my big man.

Why did the Xianbei leader send envoys to offer sacrifices and ask for naturalization?

Why did I, the great man, serve as the great protector of Xianbei, and asked him to recruit and surrender all the strong men of Xianbei, so that they would be blocked by Luo Yi.

So all the powerful men from the Pianhe tribe surrendered and were willing to serve the Han.

I really don’t know that the Liaodong governor offered sacrifices to Xu, but I remember that someone in my great Han Dynasty once said that if Xianbei performs meritorious service, he will attack the Xiongnu.

I don’t know this person.”

"Reporting to your majesty, this is the sacrifice to Liaodong!"

"Okay, he is a truly famous general!" Liu Long praised him loudly before continuing.

"I heard that those people all raised their heads to heaven and pointed to their hearts and said: "It will definitely work! "

So they attacked the Xiongnu Zuoyi Zhizi tribe, beheaded more than 2000 people, and sent the Xiongnu heads to Liaodong County with them.

After that, they attacked the Xiongnu every year, always sending heads to receive rewards from the Eastern Han Dynasty.From then on, the Xiongnu became increasingly weak, and there were no bandit policemen on the Eastern Han border. Xianbei and Wuhuan were merged into the Eastern Han Dynasty to pay tribute.

Later, Xianbei leader Mantou and Yu Qiuben also led their troops to Luoyang to congratulate him, and they were made princes by our great Han!
Later, when Emperor Xiaoming was on the throne, he sent the Xianbei Governor Pianhe to attack the Wuhuan tribe in Chishan, defeated the Wuhuan people and beheaded their leader.

Since then, the foreign tribes outside the Great Wall, starting from Wuwei County in the west and Xuantu County in the east, have come to join our great Han Dynasty.

All the Xianbei people came to join the Eastern Han Dynasty and went to Liaodong together to receive the rewards of the Eastern Han Dynasty.Therefore, during the reign of Emperor Ming and Zhang, the Xianbei people always defended the Eastern Han border fortresses, so that there was no incident on the border.

Afterwards, the cavalry captain Laiyang and the Wuhuan captain Wenmu led soldiers from various counties and more than [-] Wuhuan and Xianbei cavalry out of Pingcheng fortress to attack the northern Xiongnu.

When Laichang and Wenmu came to the water of the Xiong River, the Huns all fled.

When Emperor Xiaozhang was in power, Xianbei united with Wuhuan, Dingling, the Southern Xiongnu and other countries in the Western Regions to defeat the Northern Xiongnu. The Northern Xiongnu was weak.

Afterwards, Xianbei attacked the Northern Xiongnu and defeated them. He killed the Xiongnu's Youliu Chanyu and returned with his Xiongnu skin. The Northern Xiongnu fell into chaos.

Until the late emperor's reign, this Xianbei was my man's loyal dog.

Later, it was the northern Xiongnu who expelled Chanyu and heard that Dou Xian was dead, so he led his troops back to the north.

After Ren Shang and others chased and killed the northern Xiongnu Chanyu, Xianbei occupied the Mongolian grassland, annexed more than [-] Xiongnu tribes, and began to grow strong!
From then on, I finally had a disobedient mind.

In the sixth year of Yongyuan, the late Emperor, the 10,000 tribes and [-]+ people of the Northern Huns who surrendered to our Han Dynasty rebelled and forced the former Southern Xiongnu Chanyu to station Tuen He's son Ao Danri to drive away Wang Fenghou and become the Chanyu. The Xiongnu split again.

General Ren Shang mobilized the troops of Xianbei Protector Su Bale to defeat Fenghou Shanyu and beheaded more than 1 people!
The following year, the late emperor appointed Su Baxin, the Protector of Xianbei, to lead all the kings, with a prime minister to assist him, and he regarded it as a prefecture and county of the Han Dynasty!
Even just two years ago, the Xianbei master Yan Liyang came to Luoyang, the capital of our Han Dynasty, to congratulate him. His mother also gave him the royal seal and asked them to go to Ningcheng, Shanggu County, where Colonel Wuhuan lives, and to Tonghu City. Build two quality halls in the north and south.

From then on, 120 tribes from Xianbei were sent to hostage. It can be said that these Xianbei are all loyal people of our great Han Dynasty. How similar are they to Mao Dun? "

As soon as Liu Long said these words, both Deng Zun and Deng Feng fell silent.

This Xianbei is of course different from the Xiongnu, but Xianbei is so decisive in doing better than the Xiongnu.

Even Deng Feng understands that people who are not from my race must have different hearts.

Before this, Xianbei, just like everyone else, insisted on following the Han and helping them to destroy the Xiongnu.

This is not normal.

But Liu Long used another way of thinking to describe the matter, and they suddenly discovered something.

That is, before this, Xianbei was very obedient, but he could no longer bear it anymore. His ambitions increased with his power.

The royal family actually received more news than they did, but no one had compared Xianbei to the Huns before.

But Liu Long didn't tell them that Xianbei today is not really powerful yet.

The real Xianbei. Hahaha.
In the future, there will be a Xianbei named Tan Shihuai, and his power will be greater than that of Moton!

The ability is even stronger!

And his character should be more domineering.

Brave, strong and strategic, he began to strengthen Xianbei after being elected as the leader of the tribe.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he had already established a royal court in Danhan Mountain, plundered the Han Dynasty to the south, resisted Ding Ling to the north, repulsed Fuyu to the east, and attacked Wusun to the west, completely occupying the homeland of the Xiongnu.
They even crossed the sea and attacked the Japanese country at one time, covering more than [-] miles from east to west and more than [-] miles from north to south.He repeatedly attacked the "Nine Border Counties" of the Han Dynasty and the Liaodong vassal state.He rejected Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty's "king and marriage" and established three ministries, each under the leadership of an adult.

That is the real Xianbei!
