Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1083: The Xiongnu Lord is weak and wants to depose the prince.

Liu Cong seemed to regain his energy instantly, his face flushed, and he finally found an explanation that could reassure him.

"Chen Zhi may have to pay a price for this personal expedition! He..."

Just as he was about to have a long discussion to boost his morale, someone came over and interrupted——

A young eunuch received a letter from the side of the palace. He just glanced at it and did not dare to delay. He rushed to it and passed it through many layers, and finally fell into Liu Cong's hands.

To be honest, Liu Cong felt a little uncomfortable after seeing someone delivering the letter. He really didn't like hearing urgent letters now, but he looked at the urgent mark on the envelope - it was checked by the palace people and it was determined to be urgent. It will be handed over at the court meeting.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his uneasiness, Liu Cong slowly opened the letter. As soon as he read it, his eyes widened, then he rolled his eyes and passed out.

Suddenly, there was chaos in the court.

The ministers were really panicked for a moment. Even Jin Zhun was full of doubts and didn't know the reason. However, he was rich in experience and immediately realized that the content of the letter must be extraordinary!

The emperor fainted in court, and of course the meeting could not continue. So the civil and military officials dispersed quickly, and Jin Zhizhuan immediately mobilized his contacts to ask for information.

It stands to reason that such information is very sensitive and must be kept secret until the emperor gives the order.

But Jin Zhun was not an ordinary person after all. Many people contributed. When he returned home, someone came over to report the news and the reason.

After knowing the root cause, Jin Zhun sat down on the chair and did not recover for a long time.

After a while, he let out a long sigh and said: "It's a disaster! A catastrophe is coming! I'm afraid that our Xiongnu country will not be protected! We must make preparations early!" Then he sent people to gather the tribesmen.

But as soon as the messenger left, Jin Zhun came to his senses and sent someone out again to call back the person who had gone out to summon him.

The nephew at home couldn't help but ask why.

But Jin Zhun said: "At this time, the man in the palace is even more flustered. If he finds out that I have summoned the clansmen, there will be more troubles. At this time, I should keep a low profile and wait for the opportunity to move!"

Having said that, he still summoned his close clan brothers separately. After all, if he didn't prepare for this matter early, he might not have time to hug Buddha's feet when he really arrived.

Not only Jin Zhun's family, the secret news spread throughout Jinyang that night, causing everyone in the city to worry and react one after another. For a moment, the entire upper echelon of the Xiongnu Kingdom was in panic, like a dark cloud shrouding everyone. Waiting for the next battle report to come.

In the early morning, the emperor woke up and issued another order for the two elite soldiers who had just set off and were preparing to leave the fortress to return to defense. Then he issued an order to the south, asking Liu Can to quickly come back with his troops to protect him.

………………

The imperial envoys who had just set foot on the road to the north had just learned about the news that Chen Zhi was personally leading an army to the west.

"Why on earth is this?"

Wen Qiao asked Su Jun to come over. The two of them sat opposite each other, both frowning and unable to figure out the reason.

"Perhaps there was a secret war between Youzhou and the Xiongnu, which ultimately led to this situation. We really have no way of knowing the underlying reason!" Su Liao rubbed his temples, feeling a headache.

The two of them set out on the road to meet Chen Zhi, but when they got halfway, they found out that he was not in Youzhou but in a war zone. They couldn't chase after him. If that happened, it would be troublesome.

However, their troubles did not last long. In the afternoon of that day, the Zhangwu County Magistrate sent his yamen over, and finally caught up with the delegation, and then told them to return to Zhangwu first.

"What's wrong?" Su Jun couldn't help but laugh, "You finally managed to get us away, but you want me to wait back?" The county magistrate's thoughts were also clear to the envoys. "Tell me, what's the reason?" Wen Qiao didn't want to play around. He knew very well that suddenly coming to them and asking them to go back must have something to do with the reason why Youzhou sent troops.

The yamen servant shook his head and said: "The county magistrate did not tell the villain the reason for this. He just told the two angels to go back as soon as possible. Soon, the ancestral governor will come over in person to answer the question for you two."

"Zu Ti is coming?"

Hearing this, even Su Jun couldn't help but be surprised.

Zu Ti has now been officially awarded the post of governor of Jizhou, and has been given the title of prefect of a county. Even his direct subordinate relationship has been transferred to the king of Hejian. Although he and the king of Hejian seem to be inseparable in recent years, there are many conflicts between the two sides. Discord, at least on the surface it is harmonious.But Zu Ti would not easily set foot in the core of Hejian King, and Zhang Wu was one of them.

After hearing the news, Wen Qiao cast a questioning look at Su Jun.

"I only learned about the true relationship between Zu Ti and the King of Hejian in the past few days. This man actually has a close relationship with Youzhou. Four years ago, he was attacked by Shi Le and was ostracized by all parties. He relied on the money borrowed from Youzhou. Thousands of soldiers and horses established a firm foothold, and since then, the relationship between Zu Ti and Youzhou has become closer, and more food, grass and baggage have been requested from Youzhou."

Su Jun told what he knew, and added at the end: "Today, a large part of the ancestral governor's troops are from the Youzhou clan, and are often regarded as Youzhou's representatives in Jizhou. Some time ago, , the Zududu led troops to attack Shi Le's territory, and wanted to force Shi Le to return his troops, but was held back by Zhang Bin, Shi Le's first counselor."

"In this case, we really want to meet this ancestral governor." Wen Qiao said, suddenly laughing, "However, there are times when Su Jun is not well-informed, and Zhang Bin is no longer Shi Le's number one adviser. , this position now has someone else.”

"Oh?" Su Jun was startled when he heard this, but did not go into details.

The convoy immediately turned around and headed back.

They were not far from Zhangwu County and had not yet entered Youzhou. They returned to the county seat a few hours later, and when the convoy arrived, Zu Ti had already arrived before them.

Along with Zu Ti, there were three thousand soldiers and horses who arrived. They camped outside the city, occupying a large area of ​​land, and they could not be seen even if they wanted to.

Still far away from the city, Wen Qiao and Su Jun saw the continuous barracks. They were startled and realized that something was wrong.

"The King of Hejian will not allow Zu Ti to bring his soldiers and horses into the area under his actual control. Why would the governor's soldiers and horses be stationed here?"

After meeting Zu Ti, all their doubts were shattered.

They got a piece of news.

"The emperor died! It was the Huns who did it!"

Wen Qiao and Su Jun's minds suddenly went blank.

"Zu knows that the two of you have an imperial decree, but for the sake of safety, you will still stay here these days. A certain family will send people to protect you two. When General Zhengbei returns, he will escort you two northward!"

After hearing these words, Wen Qiao reluctantly regained his composure and asked for details with a complicated expression.

"Zu also doesn't know the details," Zu Ti said, suddenly changing the topic, "In addition, the King of Hejian has led his troops south and is going to Luoyang!"

"King Hejian is going to Luoyang?"

Wen Qiao was confused at first, and then his heart was shocked. He suddenly remembered that the King of Hejian was the deposed prince!
I'm afraid something is going to happen!
