Just as the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong was lying in the warm jade and reminiscing, there was suddenly a faint noise in front of the imperial driver.
The entire marching queue was quickly disturbed, and the Hun Emperor's mobile palace had to stop.
Liu Cong immediately frowned and shouted loudly to Xiao Huangmen who was waiting outside.
"What happened!"
"Go and check quickly!"
Xiaohuangmen immediately took the order and went forward. The Hun Emperor Liu Cong also stood up and changed his clothes with a gloomy face.
Soon, the little Huangmen ran back to resume his life.
"Your Majesty, there is a fight ahead!"
Liu Cong immediately lifted the golden curtain, stretched out his head and looked forward.
"Fight? Who dares to fight during the march!"
Liu Cong said with great dissatisfaction.
This time he personally led tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry, and the military discipline was strict all the way from Chang'an. Of course, each department looted some grass valleys along the way, but this kind of civil strife did not occur among the armies.
"Your Majesty, the men from the left and right guards were vying to enter the city. They refused to give way outside the Ximing Gate, so a fight broke out." Xiao Huangmen said respectfully.
The so-called soldiers and horses of the left and right guards are actually the difference between the Xiongnu Tuge and the rest of the Di, Qiang and Jin people.
Today's Luoyang City is mostly dilapidated. Whoever enters the city first can often get the best accommodation first, otherwise they may have to camp in dilapidated ruins.
So some Huns wanted to enter the city before other tribes, but those people were not easy to get along with, so they started arguing.
"Hmph! How dare these idiots do this!" Liu Cong was immediately furious.
He ordered someone to bring his bloody horse and galloped forward.
Several soldiers immediately caught up and opened the way for the Hun emperor.
"The emperor is here, don't be arrogant!"
"The Emperor is here, why don't you stop quickly!"
When the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong arrived, under the loud scolding of his own soldiers, the left and right guard sergeants who were fighting in a group separated.
There were hundreds of people fighting in a huddle, whether they were Huns or Di people, and even a group of Jin soldiers, all of them knelt on the ground in disgrace.
Several of them fell to the ground with their heads covered in blood, motionless, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive!
When the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong saw this, he immediately pointed out several people and asked questions angrily.
After finding out that it was the Xiongnu Guards sergeants who broke through first and used their swords and guns first, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong discovered that the few people lying on the ground unaware of their life or death were Di Qiang Guards sergeants.
"Where is the military judge!" Huns Emperor Liu Cong shouted loudly.
A military judge immediately stepped forward to respond to the order.
"If you start a private fight and kill or injure your colleagues, what kind of crime should you do?" Liu Cong said with a gloomy face.
The military judge did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately replied loudly.
"Your Majesty, this crime deserves to be beheaded, and let this be known to all the troops!"
Liu Cong pointed the horsewhip in his hand at the Hun guard sergeants who were leading the fight, and said loudly.
"Then let them enforce military law!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and the Hun soldiers he pointed at quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I am just a first offender!"
"Your Majesty, we all follow the late emperor in raising troops!"
Hearing these people begging for mercy, the Hun Emperor Liu Cong snorted coldly.
"I have long said that under military law, we are all one!"
Liu Cong waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers.
"What are you doing standing still? Get them all!"
Several fierce Emperor's guards immediately rushed forward and pushed the Hun sergeants to the ground.
The faces of the surrounding Huns sergeants could not conceal their surprise and sympathy, but the Di Qiang and Jin sergeants all had happy faces.
"Wait a minute! Save someone under the knife!"
"Save someone under the knife!"
Two loud shouts came from outside. Several Hun soldiers who were being dragged by the neck and waiting to be beheaded immediately began to beg for mercy with a louder voice as if they were hoping for survival.
"Who is it!?" Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong turned around and followed the voice.
I saw a path open among the Xiongnu soldiers, and Liu Cong, the king of Zhongshan, and several Xiongnu clan princes walked in quickly.
"Your Majesty, these sergeants are all country men. In consideration of their past achievements, let's bypass this one!" King Liu Yao of Zhongshan pleaded to Liu Cong.
"Yes, Your Majesty, let's go around them this time."
"That's right. I just injured a few Di Qiang and paid some money and silk. You can't kill them!"
Several Xiongnu clan generals also followed suit.
When the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong saw this, he did not give in at all.
He stood high on his horse, raised the whip in his hand, and shouted loudly to the soldiers around him.
"I am the Son of Heaven, and I rule all the people of the Han Dynasty. Under the banner of the Han Dynasty, everyone is a citizen. There is no difference between Chinese people and Di Qiang people!"
"These people ignored military orders and committed capital crimes. They should be executed!"
"I will never let them off the hook for favoritism just because they are Chinese!"
When Zhongshan King Liu Yao and others heard this, their faces fell, and they immediately raised their heads and wanted to continue arguing.
The Hun Emperor Liu Cong flicked the whip in his hand.
"Snapped!"
A clear sound interrupted everyone's conversation.
"Anyone who argues again will be guilty of the same crime!" Liu Cong, the Emperor of the Huns, said viciously.
Zhongshan King Liu Yao and others had to shut their mouths obediently at this time.
"puff!"
"puff!"
With a few soft sounds, several bloody heads rolled down onto the loess.
According to the order of the Huns Emperor Liu Cong, the heads of these soldiers who violated military orders were taken to each battalion for inspection.
Looking at the leaving figure of the Hun Emperor Liu Cong, some of the Hun soldiers showed resentment on their faces.
A Xiongnu clan member could not hide his dissatisfaction and complained to Liu Yao, King of Zhongshan.
"Your Majesty is really too mean. These are all Xiutuge's sons. How can they not be compared to a few despicable Di Qiang!"
Several other Xiongnu clans also followed suit and complained.
"Yes, he just killed one or two scoundrels, but he actually wanted to kill his own people to pay for his life. Is this the emperor of our Huns or the emperor of the Di and Qiang people?"
"Let alone being in Guanzhong, when it comes to marching and fighting, we are still treated like the Huns and Di Qiang. It is really chilling!"
After hearing these people's complaints, Liu Yao, the King of Zhongshan of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, stretched out his hand to stop everyone's complaints.
"Your Majesty, your majesty is so talented and powerful, you are trying to confuse Yu Nei! Stop talking about it!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Yao's words not only failed to comfort, but actually made several Xiongnu nobles extremely angry!
"Bah, what a bullshit genius!"
"If it weren't for people like us, would he be able to become emperor?"
"That's right. From Luoyang to Chang'an, there was no one that we Huns didn't fight to the death to defeat."
"It's good now that this pass has been occupied, but we Huns have to farm our own land like the Di, Qiang and Jin people. From ancient times to the present, farming has never been given as a reward to warriors!"
Since the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong established his capital in Guanzhong, he allocated land for cultivation to the Xiongnu tribesmen and provided a large number of tax-free policies.
However, these gifts in Liu Cong's opinion caused large-scale dissatisfaction for most Huns.
They originally followed the Xiongnu Great Chan and raised troops under Liu Yuan in order to conquer cities and seize land, rob wealthy women, and then become masters, but they never thought of plowing the land as their goal.
Therefore, when the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong used this method to appease a large number of Di Qiang and Jin refugees, many of the old Xiongnu tribes were already very dissatisfied.
It's just that they were all shocked by Liu Cong's prestige, so they complained secretly.
"Okay, don't say any more!"
Zhongshan King Liu Yao interrupted everyone's complaints.
"The purpose of coming to Luoyang is to defeat the false thieves, consolidate Luoyang, and enforce military discipline. It is also appropriate."
Although Liu Yao said this, there was a sense of humiliation and compromise.
Several Xiongnu nobles looked at each other and praised him one after another.
“King Zhongshan is so generous!”
"We all know that King Zhongshan has the overall situation in mind, so let's not argue with him!"
"Yes, when this battle is over and we return to Chang'an, we must go and reason with His Majesty."
"If it weren't for us Huns, how would we be able to sit in Guanzhong? Those Di Qiang are just wolf cubs, they are simply not familiar with them!"
"Yes, yes, the Di and Qiang are all wolf cubs, and the Jin people are all weaklings. Without us Huns, how could he be the emperor?"
Under the comfort of Zhongshan King Liu Yao, these Xiongnu generals all returned to their camps to appease their tribesmen.
After everyone left, Zhongshan King Liu Yao looked at the Luoyang City in front of him alone, frowning and lost in thought.

Chenliu County.
When Liu Yu ordered the accompanying 10,000 Han cavalry to prepare for departure, he had to give up his plan to lead his army to Yingchuan to relieve the siege.
When Sun Sheng, Xi Jian and others who were dispatching troops nearby learned of Liu Yu's plan, they all immediately rushed to Liu Yu to advise him.
"Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to go to Yingchuan now!"
"Although the barbarians in Yingchuan are exhausted from long battles, they still number in the tens of thousands. Your Majesty personally leads more than ten thousand cavalry. Once they encounter danger, wouldn't they be in a desperate situation?"
"If this is the case, Yingchuan Xunsong and others are helpless, and the armies are hundreds of miles apart, how can they take such risks!"
As soon as they saw Liu's prognosis, Gongsun Sheng and Xi Jian immediately said heartbrokenly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this battle is in Luoyang. It is the site of the Four Battles of Yingchuan. It is difficult to hold on to it. Moreover, the cities in Yingchuan are empty and exhausted, and it is difficult to sustain food and grass. Drawing the army there will not only delay your Majesty's plan to capture Luoyang, it will not be possible at all." It’s just not conducive to big things!”
When Xi Jian said this, he was completely trying to comfort the faint king.
Liu Yu was a little confused by these two people, because when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that it had really happened all of a sudden.
However, Liu Yu also had his own considerations.
"Yingchuan is close to the heart of our army's retreat. Tens of thousands of barbarians are entrenched here. If we don't get rid of them, won't we be unable to attack Luoyang with all our strength?"
After hearing Liu Yu's words, Gongsun Sheng immediately replied.
"Your Majesty's concern is of course very true. The barbarians in Yingchuan must be eliminated!"
"That's right, you can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife."
"I have learned that the Jiehu account for the majority of these barbarians. These Jiehu are just frightened birds. As long as the Han flag is raised, they will definitely flee. Why bother to go there in person with a large army?"
What Gongsun Sheng said was true. After several years of continuous fighting, almost all Jiehu who faced each other were defeated, and the Xiangguo area that had been entrenched for many years was even slaughtered.
Such a terrifying opponent, as long as those Jiehu people are not clay puppets, they will definitely be afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
"Jiehu previously raided Yuzhou, but after a brief battle, he hurriedly fled south to Runan. This time to rescue Yingchuan, there is no need to mobilize troops at all, and there is no need for His Majesty to go there in person!"
Xi Jian also followed closely.
"What do you think is the best way to expel these barbarians?"
Liu Yu felt that if there was a more labor-saving method, it would be great.
"Your Majesty, Yingchuan Xunsong and others still have some remaining strength. They only need to send a group of elite troops to rush forward and catch the barbarians by surprise. Then they can coordinate internally and externally. After killing some barbarians, they will naturally retreat."
"After all, His Majesty's army will arrive in Xingyang soon, and it will only take two or three hundred miles to attack Luoyang. If the Hulu in Yingchuan don't retreat before now, I'm afraid they won't have a chance to retreat."
The Xiongnu and Han Kingdom's lairs were basically Guanzhong and Pingyang. Once Liu Yu led his army to launch an offensive in Luoyang, the road leading to Guanzhong would basically be attacked.
The Huns soldiers and horses in Yingchuan had no way to retreat safely.
If they fought with the Han army and retreated at the same time, not to mention whether they could win, even if they won, they would be forced to abandon all the loot.
"Elite soldiers?" When Liu Yu heard this, he immediately started thinking.
When talking about elite soldiers and strong generals, Liu Yu immediately thought of the most sophisticated Chinese army under his command.
Today's Han army is dominated by local state and county soldiers, and some of the strongest are recruited into the Chinese army's infantry and cavalry.
In addition, there are cavalry military households from Youzhou, as well as navy soldiers from Qingzhou and Dongping Prefecture. .
The cavalry accompanying Liu Yu now are mainly Chinese cavalry. If we talk about elites, the Yulin Army composed of generals' children can definitely be regarded as one.
Moreover, the number of this group has just expanded to several thousand, which is perfect for carrying out raid missions.
When he thought of this, Liu Yu immediately ordered.

But now, although the tens of thousands of Hulu in Yingchuan are large in number, they are the goods of some powerful foreigners, and they are just used to test these Yulin cavalry.
