Liu Wu never thought that someone would be willing to heat the cold stove even though he was in this state.
Becoming the crown prince has been his dream for many years.
At this time, someone suddenly wanted to support him, which really made him feel excited and unable to control himself.
After a while, Liu Wu gradually regained his consciousness.
He asked slightly confused, "Why is this?"
Everything must have a reason, and only when there is a cause will there be an effect.
It was of course impossible for him to come over for no reason and say that he wanted to support him as the crown prince.
Tian Fu smiled brightly and said very cordially, "Your Majesty, the prince's victory is unstoppable, and my sister has nothing to do. After all, we can only ask your Majesty to be the emperor's younger brother. When the emperor passes the throne in ten thousand years, your Majesty will be the king again." Make King Jiaodong the crown prince."
"Oh~~~"
Liu Wu had a look of understanding on his face.
In his opinion, this is also a reasonable explanation.
After all, Liu Sheng was strong at this time, and other people who coveted the position had almost no hope.
Now it is reasonable to unite with each other to find a way out.
If Liu Wu's advisers Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng were still there, they would immediately see that this was just a trick to use Liu Wu.
The reason is very simple. After experiencing the Yuan Ang incident, Liu Wu has offended all the courtiers and nobles of the Han Dynasty, and his reputation among the people is also very good.
Under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for Liu Wu to be appointed as the crown prince.
Even if Liu Qi and Empress Dowager Dou were defeated and supported, they would attract unimaginable opposition.
Since the matter was impossible, what Tian Fu said at this time was naturally a deception to deceive Liu Wu, and his purpose was nothing more than to borrow Liu Wu's name and strength.
Although Liu Wu's reputation has been ruined, he is still the king and the emperor's brother after all.
The Liang State was extremely wealthy, with not only money but also soldiers and horses.
It's a pity that both Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng were executed because of Yuan An's incident, taking the blame for Liu Wu.
Because of this incident, no one is willing to work for him.
It can be said that Liu Wu, whose lifelong dream was to become the emperor's younger brother, easily fell into the beautiful scene described by Tian Fu.
It's really not an easy thing to deceive people. The most important thing is to do what they want.
Tian Fu understood this very well, so he firmly grasped Liu Wu's weakness, took advantage of the matter of the emperor's younger brother, and pulled him onto the warship.
"Finally, someone important has come."
After leaving Liu Wu's mansion, Tian Fu on the carriage finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Wu had hundreds of troops inside and outside Chang'an City. More importantly, he had money and was willing to pay for things.
As long as you have sufficient financial resources, you can secretly purchase weapons and armor, recruit rangers as your wings, and bribe people in key positions.
It is really rare for someone to use Liu Wu's property to do their own things.
Tian Fu on the carriage took out a piece of paper made in Zhongshan and followed the list on the paper to find ".Yingyin Marquis Guan Xian, Dou Family Dou Fu"
The stone ridge was closed, and Li Yunze looked quietly at the valley several miles away.
That place used to be the camp of Huyan and Lin's troops. After being attacked by the Han army at night, the whole family was defeated, and even Huyan and Lin's heads became trophies.
In just over ten days, a large group of Huns came once again, filling up the valley, which was no more than a few miles wide, as far as the eye could see.
Judging from the banners raised by the Huns, it was King Zuoxian of the Huns who came.
"Yu Shan."
Li Yunze nodded and asked the people around him to "pass the order and take the single-headed person and promote him to the rank of Chehou."
The pinnacle of the Qin and Han military merit conferring systems was the Marquis of Che.
Historically, Liu She came to power and was renamed Liu Che.
In order to avoid the taboo of the emperor's name, all the Chehous were changed to Liehou.
Considering the status of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu and the crown prince of the Xiongnu, it was a matter of course that his head should be given the title of Marquis of Che.
If it weren't for the old Liu family to no longer grant kings with different surnames, it would be no problem to directly grant him the title of king.
The young Yu Dan was obviously impatient and a large number of troops were still on their way, so they eagerly urged his troops to start attacking the city.
There was no need to rush, because the retreat was cut off, and hundreds of thousands of Han troops from all directions were pressing towards Taiyuan County like mountains. There was also Jinyang City inside that could not be captured.
Under such embarrassing circumstances, the only way out is to immediately open an escape route and calmly exit outside the wall.
Shiling Pass is the lock that crosses the path that the Huns must pass to return home.
"Sun Tzu" said, "Don't contain your troops when they return; if you surround your troops, they will be surrounded; and if you are poor, don't force them."
It means that soldiers and horses who are eager to go home should not stop them. People will choose to fight tooth and nail to get home.
But now, Li Yunze not only had to block them, but also found a way to kill all the invading Huns.
He had already learned at this time that the Huns who invaded were not only the military minister Shan Yu's Wang Ting, but also Yu Shan's Youxian Wang Wang Ting.
If these Huns are left behind, the Huns will have their backbones broken and their strength greatly reduced.
Looking at the densely packed Huns coming from a distance, Li Yunze calmly ordered, "I am ordering all the pass passages in Luliang Mountain to strictly guard the walls and clear the fields, and not allow the Huns to pass through."
"Here."
The Huns seemed to be in dire straits, but Li Yunze was able to sense in advance that they still had a way to survive.
That is to cross the Luliang Mountains to the west and reach the bank of the river.
On the other side of the river, in Henan, which was still under the control of the Huns, King Youxian's troops were harassing Shangjun in Henan.
If the Huns choose this route to escape, although they will suffer great losses along the way, a large part of the living force will still be able to escape.
Li Yunze would not place his hopes on the fact that the Huns did not understand the geographical environment of the Han Dynasty. He had already ordered that no troops should be sent to the passes along the Luliang Mountains. Now he just emphasized it again.
As for Yu Shan's attack at this time, Li Yunze didn't take it seriously.
Although Shiling Pass is dilapidated, the soldiers stationed here are Zhongshan Kingdom soldiers. Want to break through and escape?
Go to sleep, everything is there in your dreams.
As early as the late Qin Dynasty, when the Huns took advantage of the chaos in the Middle Kingdom to seize the land of Henan, they obtained a large number of remnants of the pre-Qin Dynasty.
After that, the Han and Hungarians fought for many years and plundered many Han people.
Coupled with the Han people who defected to the Huns, the scientific and technological level of the Huns is actually not much worse than that of the Han people. They can be said to be second in the world under the Han people.
What they really lack is systematic industrial production capacity.
Large-scale mining, smelting, forging, manufacturing industries and related supporting industries.
The ordinary Xiongnu tribe may not be very good, but at the level of King Zuoxian, the technical abilities they learned from the Han family are not bad.
Just like this, the Huns almost cleared away the woods in the valley and built many siege equipment before the battle.
There were about two thousand Huns in the lead, pushing a lot of siege equipment forward.
Followed by hundreds of cavalry, responsible for supervising military affairs.
It's not that Yu Shan couldn't find more people, but the section from Gudi to Shilingguan was like a gourd mouth, and the road was too narrow to accommodate too many people.
A warrior on horseback stepped forward, reined in his horse a hundred steps away from Shiling Pass, and shouted loudly toward the pass, "Which general is guarding this place? King Zuo Xian has something to say~~~"
"Heh~~~"
Li Yunze knows this trick very well, isn't it just bribery?
"Ask him." Li Yunze tilted his head and asked Wei Qing behind him, "What price can you offer?"
"Here."
Wei Qing took the order, took two steps forward and came to the back of the female wall, shouting to the Hun cavalry a hundred steps away, "If you have any conditions, just come out!"
The Xiongnu warrior was surprised by Wei Qing's youth, but he quickly responded, "King Zuo Xian said that as long as the general is willing to surrender, he should lead one of his own as the king. Cattle, sheep, horses, tents and carts, fine wine and beautiful women, gold, silver and gems will be given as much as you want." !”
"King Zuo Xian said that as long as the general is willing to submit and become brothers with the general! From now on, outside the Great Wall, one person will be inferior and tens of thousands of people will be superior!"
This condition must be said to be very high.
Chen Xi, Lu Wan and others who had defected to the Huns were only granted the title of king when they arrived at the Huns.
In terms of status, if you become brothers with King Zuo Xian, then you can be considered as truly entering the upper echelons of the Xiongnu.
As for property and supplies, they are not that important.
If the person stationed here is a military prince, a military commander, or even a school captain, it is impossible to say that he will really be moved.
But the person stationed here at this time is the King of Zhongshan.
Why do you want to go to the Xiongnu to be under one person when you leave the country of the Han Dynasty?
Wei Qing turned to look at Li Yunze, waiting for the king's instructions on how to respond.
'spit. '
Li Yunze sneered and said, "Tell him that as long as Yu Shan's head is sent over, we will let them go north and leave the fortress."
Needless to say, the negotiations naturally broke down.
After the Huns cavalry left, the siege teams that had been waiting for a long time officially began to attack.
"Kill!" the Huns roared and rushed towards the city wall.
"Let go!" The defenders' crossbowmen fired a volley, and the sharp rain of arrows fell under the city wall, immediately overturning the city wall.
Just like the problem faced by the Huns, the defenders here were unable to deploy all their troops because the pass was too narrow.
The number of crossbowmen that can be deployed on the city's head is no more than a hundred.
The Huns' counterattack here was also very fierce. Their archers were finally able to exert their full strength at close range.
I saw many sharp arrows flying out from among the Huns under the city wall, many of which accurately hit the defender's face.
Especially the crossbowmen who lacked the protection of face armor. From time to time, some people were shot and fell to the ground screaming.
Even the soldiers wearing iron armor and ghost faces were sniped by sharpshooters.
King Zuoxian's tribe is different from other Xiongnu tribes, its strength is second only to Wang Ting.
His tribe had many iron arrows and strong bows, which were used to deal with Han soldiers at close range, and they were enough to shoot through the ghost's face.
Seeing this scene, Li Yunze frowned slightly, "You have a good look, don't you? Throw the gray bottle."
The so-called gray bottle is to put lime powder in a bottle and use it to attack the enemy in battle so that the enemy can't open his eyes.
More than a hundred gray bottles were thrown down, lime powder suddenly filled the air, and there were coughing sounds everywhere in the city.
Those Huns sharpshooters who had shown off their prowess before were now screaming and rubbing their eyes, unable to think of shooting arrows anymore.
The lime stuff got in your eyes and you had to use vegetable oil to clean it.
Especially quicklime. Once washed with water, the lime will react with the water and your eyes will be gone.
The first wave of the Huns' offensive was defeated in panic under more than a hundred gray bottles.
