MTL - Sweet Beauty-Chapter 102 Injuried
This time, Wu Liuzhu did not intrude on the border of Youzhou as before, but attacked the land west of Hexi.
In order to take this opportunity to suppress the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, Liu Xiu not only brought in 150,000 troops, but also recruited frontier troops and recruited 50,000 troops on the Hexi frontier to fight together.
When they first arrived at the frontier, the Han army was attacked by a team of more than 10,000 troops from the Xiongnu because they were not fortified. Afterwards, Wuliuzhu seemed to have tasted the sweetness, and repeatedly ordered a small group of cavalry to attack and retreat with a single blow. , and then retreat and strike again.
Not only that, he even released mad words, asking Liu Yu to marry the eldest princess of Pingning, Liu Zhao, into the Huns and relatives, only then would he be willing to retreat, which caused the Han army to be infuriated for a while.
Fortunately, in the remaining fierce battle, the Han army finally gradually showed the trend of victory.
The Han army of 200,000 horses, divided into four routes, formed a siege trend against the Huns. One route went out of Gaoque Village and attacked Zhuoye Mountain; the second route went out of Jiuquansai and attacked Baishan; the third route went out of Zhangye Juyansai and attacked Sanmu Loushan; the last all the way out of Heisei, heading towards the Xiongnu River.
In addition, Liu Yu had already made preparations and ordered people to contact the Wuhuan, Xianbei, Wusun and other tribes, and join forces with them to attack the Xiongnu.
With the complementarity of several parties, Liu Yu's army first occupied Yiwu, cut off the right arm of the Xiongnu army, and then encircled it.
Afterwards, Liu Yugeng reversed the previous cautious tactics of defending instead of attacking and not daring to go deep. Instead, he asked the Huns, who were very familiar with the local grassland terrain, as a guide. While using the encirclement to contain their main forces, it was difficult to return to the rescue, while going deep into the hinterland. Unexpectedly, hit the Shanyu settlement.
As a pioneer general, Chen Yi was brave and good at fighting, but he killed more than 1,000 enemy troops and captured more than 10,000 enemies in one fell swoop.
Wu Liuzhu is the new successor to the throne. He is young and powerful, but lacks a city government. With only one impulse, he listens to the words of the Zuo Rizhuwang, defies all opinions, and aggressively invades the border of the Han Dynasty. Now that the Shanyu settlement has been attacked, with countless casualties and heavy losses, it has aroused the dissatisfaction of many senior figures among the tribes.
Liu Yu took this opportunity to close the encirclement with the Wuhuan and other major tribes, and surrounded the main force of the Huns.
After two months of fierce fighting, the Huns were repeatedly weakened in combat power, and finally lost, and more than half of them all surrendered.
Zuo Ri chased the king and Qu She shot and killed Liu Ji, while Xin Shan Yu Wuliuzhu led the remnants of his troops and fled north in a hurry, hiding in the deep mountains and extremely cold places, never to be seen again.
The three-month-long battle was a complete victory, and Liu Kuo captured tens of thousands of people and millions of livestock, and gained a lot. Afterwards, following Guo Quzhi's suggestion, the descendants of the Xiongnu were placed in the northwest frontier, so that they, like the previous Wuhuan, were self-sufficient in their spare time, lived and worked in peace and contentment, and accompanied the army to control the frontier in wartime.
In July, Liu Xiu left Chen Yi and others at the border to deal with the aftermath, and led most of his troops and horses to embark on the road back to Luoyang from the northwest.
Returning to the nest after a great victory is a matter of joy.
When the army marched to Niyang, because of the long journey, they temporarily camped and rested for a day. Liu Yu was still excited when he saw the generals, and it was rare that he did not order the entire army to remain under martial law, but tacitly allowed him to move around freely in the afternoon.
The army originally had many animals captured from the northern grasslands. With permission, everyone cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle, and they rejoiced.
Liu Yu first took Guo Qu and other close officials, and led a team of guards, about a hundred people, to the station in Niyang City to rest for a while.
Niyang, a small town in the border area, has never welcomed the emperor's big drive. The county magistrate and the postmaster were very frightened. They repaired and cleaned the post within three to five days, and ordered the city to be under martial law.
Fortunately, Liu Yuben also came from a poor background, so he didn't mind.
However, while he was sleeping soundly in the house, in the wilderness outside the city, there were about a hundred people watching from the dark.
These people have cracked skin, yellow faces and thin skin, and they are described as embarrassed, but they are still wearing military uniforms that are almost the same as those of the Han army stationed outside the city. Looking at their appearance, it is obvious that they have been running around for a long time.
Among them, the man who has been weak for one year is thin and frail. Although his face is dirty, he is completely different from the black and yellow complexion of others. He is unconcealedly weak and pale. It is Liu An who has been hiding in the mountains for a long time. !
Just seeing him hide his lips from time to time, coughing, vomiting a few strands of blood, his eyes are full of embarrassment and resentment.
A few months ago, he was forced by the chasing soldiers behind him and could not go south, so he had to flee all the way north.
At the end of the road, he had no choice but to lead the last few men and horses to hide in the wild mountains and mountains in the north, using heaven and earth as his quilt, and relying on fishing and hunting for a living, struggling to survive.
As a prince of the clan, he was once defeated, and he was reduced to a man, which really filled him with unwillingness and hatred.
Seeing that Liu Yu became emperor and the world returned to his heart, his already weak body was getting weaker and weaker, as if he had no chance to get involved again.
At this time, Liu Yu actually led his troops to the north, and after the victory, he even passed through his hiding place!
This is a godsend!
He looked at the city wall in the distance, and said with a sinister tone: "Today, I will learn to stab Qin as the Liu Hou. I am not Zhang Liang, I don't know the appearance of the first emperor, so I missed the opportunity. The appearance of Liu Yu's servant, I turned into Hui also recognizes it! Today is to fight for this life, but also to kill him!"
Taking advantage of the slack of the Han army, Liu An took out the snowmelt water stored in the winter, ordered everyone to wash their faces, adjust their clothes a little, and pretended to be ordinary soldiers under Liu Yu's command.
The guards at the city gate did not know Liu An and others, but they saw that they were wearing Han uniforms, which were the same as the rest of the emperor's subordinates except for a little worn out. its in.
Liu An originally wanted to give it a shot, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He only found out where the inn was located, kept away from the strict guards outside the inn, and hid on the side of the road a hundred meters away from the gate of the inn, waiting for an opportunity to move.
After this wait, it was only in the evening that there was movement in the station.
In the barracks outside the city, the soldiers were already holding meat, food, drinks, and feasting, singing and dancing, just waiting for Liu Yu to go out of the city to have fun with him.
However, he walked out of the gate of the inn, and rode his horse out. Before a few steps, he suddenly saw a group of people jumping out of the road, all of them thin, but fierce.
One of the white-faced young men stood up, drew a bow and drew arrows, pointed directly at Liu Yu who was sitting on the horse and guarding the center for everyone, and shouted loudly: "Liu Yu, you traitor, you killed the queen mother, harmed the emperor, and usurped my Han Dynasty. , I will take your life today!"
Saying that, the hand that pulled the bowstring suddenly loosened.
Hearing a "whoosh" sound, the long arrow pierced the air and shot straight away.
Liu Ji, who was beside the attendant, shouted sharply: "Protect Your Majesty!" Everyone looked angrily. Some rushed to Liu An's hiding place, and some quickly gathered around Liu Yu, trying to fend off the arrowheads for him. .
However, with this arrow, Liu An embraced the determination to die, and used all his strength, rushing in like a broken bamboo, and it was difficult to stop it.
None of the guards could reach the arrow feathers, and when they saw the arrowhead, they were about to hit Liu Yu's left chest, but when they saw him at the critical moment, he turned slightly to one side, and could avoid it, so that the arrow rubbed his left arm and passed by. It was nailed into the head of a horse under the crotch of a servant behind him.
The horse was frightened and hooted and neighed. Liu Yu hurriedly drove the horse forward without being injured.
At this time, Liu An had already been captured by the guards. Seeing that the arrow did not hurt the vital point, he couldn't help but split his eyes, and cried out, "The sky has no eyes, and the wishes of the people are not fulfilled!"
Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Liu Yu's face was full of anger, and when he saw Liu An's skinny, sunken face, full of hatred, he couldn't help sneering: "I sent people to chase you for a long time, but they were all escaped by you. Today, I will send you to my door. Don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
After saying that, he took the sword and rode away, using the way everyone made way, without waiting for his words, he waved his hand down.
During the ups and downs, cold light shone in all directions, and blood splattered.
When everyone was shocked, someone suddenly pointed at Liu Yu's left arm and exclaimed, "Your Majesty is injured, please call a medical worker!"
Only then did Liu Xiu realize that the left arm that was rubbed by the arrowhead was close to the elbow. The clothing was scratched, and the bare skin was wiped with a deep blood mark, which penetrated more than half an inch into the epidermis. It turned out, the blood was gurgling, and the bones were faintly visible, and it was burning and hurting at the moment.
He waved his hand: "It's okay, the flesh is slightly injured."
If it were the past, he would not have hindered military affairs because of such a small injury. However, as the emperor now, even if it was a small injury to the flesh, he couldn't bear the repeated pleas of everyone, so he had to temporarily bandage the wound in Niyang.
This wound, whether it is big or small, is not small. It is summer, if you are unlucky and the wound is not treated properly, under the heat, the purulent fever will most likely endanger your life.
Therefore, the medical workers are very cautious, bandaging and changing the dressing every day, and they dare not be neglected at all.
However, it was because he had been tired for many months, and after taking such care of Liu Yu, he still developed a high fever on the third day.
As a last resort, Guo Qu made a decisive decision, wrote a letter to himself, and hurriedly sent it to Luoyang, where it was handed over to A Shu and Fan Xiao.
The letter stated that Liu Yu was assassinated by Liu An in Niyang, and his injuries were difficult to heal.
When the news reached Luoyang Nangong, A Shu and Liu Zhao were throwing a pot with Po Nu and A Dai together.
The previous battle report of the Han army's great victory had already come, and everyone was happy, just waiting for Liu Yu to return.
Unexpectedly, in the joy, I was shocked to hear such bad news.
A Shu held the silk book and read it carefully three times. After repeatedly confirming that she had not read it wrong, Fang Jue's heart sank suddenly, and his face suddenly paled.
Liu Zhaoben smiled. Seeing her strangeness, he quickly put down his arrow and asked, "Sister-in-law, what happened?"
Ah Shu took a deep breath and held back the panic in her heart. She ordered the maids to take the two children out, Fang led Liu Zhao into the inner room, and after closing the door, handed over the silk book that was crumpled by her.
Liu Zhao didn't know why, and after reading it, his eyes blushed, tears fell, and he said at a loss, "Sister-in-law, how can this be? Brother-will something happen to him?"
Ah Shu bit her lower lip abruptly, trying her best to hold back the whimper in her throat, and shook her head at Liu Zhao with red eyes: "A Zhao, don't panic, your brother - it will be fine."
Although she comforted Liu Zhao like this, she was already panicking in her heart.
How could he, who has always been strategizing and scheming without any plans, fall into a slump and even endanger his life because of the small assassination of others? But Rao was because she didn't want to believe it, and couldn't resist the black and white handwriting in Guo Qu's letter.
For a while, the past all came to mind.
Three years ago, with a mere 2,000 people, he took advantage of the situation to enter Hebei. He has managed to mediate so far. He has avoided countless guns and arrows, and fought countless large and small enemies. It seems that he has never been vulnerable.
In Xishan, when she was taken hostage for the Chijin prisoner, she was helpless and weeping. It was him who accompanied her day and night, patiently coaxing her.
When Handan was in trouble, she was terrified and helpless, so he led troops to help and protect her Zhao family.
In the Weiyang Palace, she was coveted by Geng Yun, and he was the one who took her all the way out of the city.
At that time, the two of them didn't understand each other, and they were suspicious of each other. He had many opportunities to abandon her, but in the end, he chose to keep her firmly behind him.
She is more like an ignorant idiot, never understanding his intentions.
Now that he is in danger, she should go away in person and accompany him to get through it.
Thinking like this, she managed to hold back her tears, suddenly stood up, and said solemnly, "I'm going to Niyang."
