My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 129 Unilateral Announcement, Ascension to the Throne
"Your Highness, I have specially isolated the prison where those Huns are imprisoned. Outside the prison is a dog prison with dozens of fierce dogs."

"Any disturbance can be detected!"

Inside the Shanglin Prison, Zhang He led the way and explained.

The corridor in the prison was not dark but rather bright. There were no prisoners in the cells on both sides, but there were many ferocious beasts, mostly jackals, tigers and leopards.

The group passed through the zoo and when they approached a fence gate, Zhang He and a group of guards stopped and Jin Midi led the way.

With no one else around, Jin Midi spoke and recounted in detail what had happened on the grassland.

"According to my observation, the second son of the King of Youguli is ruthless and not willing to be alone. I will help him or lure him away when I find an opportunity."

"I'm not afraid he won't give in!"

The two walked to the three cells at the end of the corridor. Jin Midi pointed to the one imprisoned in the innermost cell and said, "He is Yougu Duhou."

Liu Ju looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man in his fifties sitting cross-legged on the bed with one hand hanging in front of his chest and the other hand holding a chicken leg and eating it with relish.

Hu Yanke was eating with his mouth full of oil when he saw two people coming outside the cell. When he saw Jin Midi's respectful look, he immediately understood.

He grinned.

With a sinister laugh, he muttered something to the young noble lady of Hanting outside.

"What did he say?" Liu Ju asked leisurely.

Jin Midi looked at Hu Yanke and whispered back, "He said that no matter who Your Highness is, he has memorized Your Highness's face."

Oops.

Liu Ju raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Hu Yanke who was holding a chicken leg towards him in the cell. "Okay, you're a tough guy!"

After seeing this person, Liu Ju walked around the other two cells and looked around. The Huns inside were just as Jin Midi said, all of them were determined people.

See Liu Ju approaching.

He eats what he should eat and scolds what he should scold. He is very active.

"That's great. We don't have to worry about them committing suicide." Liu Ju walked out and ordered, "Don't humiliate them. Keep them well fed and well fed."

"When the grandson of the great Khan on the grassland is completely inseparable from us, we will kill them."

"Yes!"

Jin Midi responded, but also said with some worry: "As for this matter, Your Majesty..."

He secretly detained three prisoners, one of whom was the Right Marquis of Gudu. On the battlefield, a word from the General of the Cavalry was enough.

But when I return to the capital, I have to ask the emperor.

"Don't worry." Liu Ju knew what he wanted to say and shook his head. "I have already explained this matter to His Majesty. Just do it."

He did confess, but Liu Ju's timing of confession was very cunning. He specifically mentioned it at the end of the celebration banquet when he presented his sword.

As the saying goes, eat people with short mouths and take people with soft hands.

It happened that the emperor was about to take the general out for a late-night talk. He didn't ask many questions or care about it, but just told him to take his people and leave quickly.

As for Hun prisoners of war, the imperial court always persuaded them to surrender first. If they surrendered, they would be taken in for their own use. If they refused to surrender, they would be demoted to slaves.

Among them are those who are too stubborn to be persuaded, such as Hu Yanke.

The court’s method was also imprisonment.

Whenever the emperor wanted to offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple or have other ceremonies, he would pull it out for a walk. Whenever the army set out, there would be one less person to offer sacrifices to the flag, and the flag could be put to good use.

Although the position of Right Gudu Hou that the prince requested was high, a prisoner was still a prisoner. With the sword in front and the opportunity behind, the emperor just raised his hand and waved it.

"Open up the intelligence transmission route from Mobei to Chang'an as soon as possible. If we don't win over the guy in the north for a long time, he might become wild." Liu Ju said as he walked.

Jin Midi nodded in agreement.

"I still have some spies on the grassland, and the liaison station at the Han border is also being prepared. Soon..."

In the corridor, the two people's voices gradually faded away.

at the same time.

While the Crown Prince of the Han Dynasty was plotting his plan to attack the north, in the far north, two 'Princes' of the Xiongnu were thinking about how to kill each other!
……

Mobei, the Chanyu’s court.

The extreme north was too cold and bitter, and after the Han army left, the Xiongnu who had fled north returned to this fertile grassland with mountains and water. Nomadic tribes migrated all year round, so this little bit of hardship was nothing and could be endured.

Most of the tribal warriors were killed or wounded, but fighting was frequent on the grassland. This time only a few more people died. They could endure it by gritting their teeth.

but.

The Great Chanyu is gone, I can’t tolerate that!
When the Han army attacked, two large armies were sent out at the same time. The Huns also divided their troops into two groups to fight back. After being defeated, King Zuoxian fled all the way back to his old nest in the east.

The King of Youguli, who fled north with him, was the first to return to the Chanyu's court after the Han army retreated.

Looking at the altar left by the Han army on Langjuxu Mountain, Ju Lihu jumped up and cursed, first the Han people and then King Zuo Xian.

He made up his mind.

When the Great Chanyu comes back, I will make sure that Zuo Xian Wang will be punished!
However, after waiting for several days, the Great Chanyu still did not return with the troops directly under the royal court.

Julihu had no choice but to send people to the west to inquire. It would have been better if he hadn't done so. The investigation almost caused the Huns, who had just returned to the Chanyu's court, to run away again!

The Great Chanyu was defeated!
Moreover, they suffered a crushing defeat, with most of the 90,000 elite troops of the royal court killed or wounded, and the whole army was completely routed. The Great Chanyu himself was chased for hundreds of miles by the Han army, and his life or death is now unknown.

Ju Lihu hurriedly sent more people to search everywhere, but there was no news. After waiting for another half a month, there was still no trace of the Great Chanyu.

Once the news spread, the tribes, which were already in shock, became panicked again.

Could it be that the Great Chanyu is dead?

The Xiongnu leaders who arrived at the Chanyu's court one after another were extremely anxious. As the son of the Great Chanyu, the King of Youguli, Julihu, was also very anxious at first.

But later on, his impatience gradually turned into 'impatient'.

because.

His father was dead, and his eldest brother should be dead too. The Great Chanyu and his first-line successor were both dead, but Ju Lihu was still alive!

At this critical moment.

How can we spend the whole day mourning the dead? The Huns' great foundation and vast territory urgently need a wise leader!
Ju Lihu sent people to search for news about his father and elder brother, while actively connecting with the leaders of various tribes. When half a month was up...

He couldn't bear it anymore.

How does the saying go, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day!
On the Xiongnu side, what came out of Ju Lihu's mouth was: "It's finally my turn to establish myself as the Great Khan!"

Yes, following the fine tradition of Xiongnu succession, King Youguli unilaterally announced that he had ascended the throne.

As the Xiongnu were badly damaged, most of the leaders loyal to Yizhixie disappeared along with him. The left wing retreated to its old nest, and the right wing...

Don't worry about the right side.

The leaders staying in the Shanyu Court were either originally subordinates of Julihu or were persuaded by Julihu. In this way, the former King of Youguli was elected by everyone.

Officially enthroned as the Great Chanyu!
However, things don’t always go as planned. Before he could even get comfortable on the throne, the saboteurs came back. Who?
The Great Chanyu.

It was not the Chanyu Yizhixie, but the Chanyu Wuwei who was also newly elected.

"The Great Chanyu died, but you survived. You even said that the Great Chanyu passed the throne to you? Who knows whether it is true or not!" Inside the king's tent, Ju Lihu tightly grasped the armrest and asked harshly.

Wu Wei, who was standing opposite with a group of strong men, had a livid face. He looked directly at his brother and said in a cold tone: "Before the Great Chanyu died, I was by his side!"

"If not me, who will?"

"Ju Lihu, I'll only say this once. If you take the initiative to go, we can still be brothers in the future. If you are stubborn and refuse to change, don't blame me for being rude!"

Go to number?

Ju Lihu had a gloomy expression. If it was his father who came back, he would definitely abdicate without saying a word.

But only my eldest brother came back...

At this time, Ju Lihu gave in and waited for his elder brother's foundation to be consolidated. Ju Lihu knew with his toes that the other party would first kill him, the younger brother who had once usurped the throne!

The same reason.

The same goes for Wu Wei. If he retreats, he will be killed once Juli Lake's foundation is solid to prevent future troubles.

The current situation is that whoever retreats will die!
So after Wu Wei asked, before Ju Lihu could answer, the sound of swords being drawn could be heard outside the tent.

"Humph!"

Ju Lihu stared at his elder brother and sneered, "Using a knife? We are in the royal court now, King Zuo Guli better think it through!"
