    The news that Wu Ya proclaimed herself Queen of the Huns reached Fushi Xiongnu camp, but a few hours later, the smug Xiongnu Chanyu Uwei died in a foreign land, in this place where the Huns had penetrated farthest into the hinterland of the Han Dynasty.

    As soon as Uwe died, the 200,000 Huns cavalry were suddenly leaderless.  What's even more frightening is that these 200,000 people are now rootless. All the Huns have completely lost their fighting spirit and only want to return to the Huns as soon as possible.

    In King Youxian's tent, he immediately summoned the nobles under his command. Chanyu Uwei died suddenly, and civil strife broke out among the Huns. Perhaps ordinary Huns just wanted to return to their homeland to reunite with their wives and children, but Youxian  As a person whose strength is second only to Shan Yu, Wang still has too many things to consider.

    "Where is He Shidao? Who is in charge of Shan Yu's troops now?" There were all the confidants of King Youxian in the big tent. The first thing he said was not how to deal with Shan Yu's funeral, but what was involved.  The problem of military affairs and Shanyu's troops.

    "Mr. He has disappeared The troops and horses of the Shanyu tribe are now led by General Zuo." A great guard under King Youxian quickly replied. Although He Shidao is not a Huns, he is  Xiongnu's status is still relatively high, and most people respectfully call him sir.

    "Disappeared? Immediately send an order to our troops to break camp and return to the grassland." King Youxian was slightly startled, and then made a decision that surprised everyone even more.

    "This Now that Shanyu died suddenly, it is a great opportunity for my king to seize Shanyu's throne. King Zuo Xian is just a boy in his teens. My king cannot miss such an opportunity." King Youxian's subordinate  The general spoke quickly.

    "We have all got the news from the royal court, and I think the Han people will get it soon. In addition, the Shanyu died suddenly, and now the army's morale is weakened. The Han people will definitely take the opportunity to go to war. Now that the grassland has changed, there are no cattle and sheep supplies, and everyone is not interested in fighting.  , if we continue to stay here, there is only one way to perish. Now we must leave before other tribes retreat. Only by preserving our strength and returning to our homeland can we be qualified to aspire to the Shanyu position. Even if we seize the Shanyu position here now, it is nothing more than  It¡¯s just a name, rootless Ping will go as quickly as it comes.¡± King Youxian said in a slightly hurried tone.

    He was not an idle person, and he quickly understood the situation. He defied all the opinions and was the first among all the Xiongnu tribes to evacuate to the north.

    When King Youxian's troops began to evacuate, Shangguan Jie also discovered what happened to the Xiongnu. Although he did not know the news of Uwei's sudden death, there were sixty or seventy thousand people in King Youxian's troops. The movement was really too big.  .

    "The general has an order. When the Huns retreat, it will be the day for us to attack. Now follow me out of the city, and we will make great achievements today!" Shangguan Jie had already organized his troops, with 60,000 cavalry in front and 100,000 infantry behind.  , all rushed out of Fushi City, which had trapped them for nearly a year.

    The Xiongnu camp was now in chaos. King Youxian suddenly withdrew his troops, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops were suddenly stunned.  Without Shan Yu's unified order, many small kings from large tribes also began to make plans to withdraw their troops.

    "Report General Zuo, the Han army has left the city and is coming in full force towards our camp." A Hun soldier in the Chanyu tent said hurriedly.

    Now, not only is Uwe¡¯s body parked in the Chanyu tent, there are also several Huns wizards dancing their sacrificial dances.  And now the person in charge of these affairs is Uwe's confidant, General Zuo of Shan Yu Wangting, a top nobleman of the Xiongnu, and the leader of a tribe with a population of more than 100,000.

    "Stop all of you." General Zuo shouted violently. Being able to command a Xiongnu tribe with a population of more than 100,000 people, General Zuo was certainly not an ordinary person.  He shouted loudly and immediately made the Hun wizards stop, and they no longer cared about those rituals that were once extremely taboo.

    "Hurry up and gather the Shanyu's body, and we will break up camp and retreat immediately We can't go back to the royal court, so we all go to King Zuoxian with me. Now that Shanyu is dead, we should support King Zuoxian to become the great Huns  The new Chanyu." General Zuo made a decisive decision. He knew that the Huns army was now in disarray. If they stayed here, they would only be completely annihilated by the Han people. The royal court was occupied by Wuya and could not return. He could only go to the fiefdom of King Zuoxian, and according to the  In the Xiongnu system, King Zuoxian was also the legal heir to Shan Yu, and he was truly orthodox.

    This sudden retreat of the Xiongnu eventually turned into a great rout under Shangguan Jie's overwhelming attack.  The Han army pursued the victory all the way, constantly killing the defeated Huns, and at the same time continuously regaining lost ground.  This pursuit and escape battle lasted for more than half a month, and nearly 50,000 Huns were finally buried in a foreign land and never returned to their homeland.

    The troops of King You Xian returned to their own territory without any losses, and General Zuo also took fifty or sixty thousand elite Chanyu to the Xiongnu left land. The original King Zuo Xian, Wu Shilu, became the seventh unit in the history of the Xiongnu.  Yu is also the chanyu with the smallest ruling territory.

    When Wu Shilu became the new chanyu, this man was only ten years old.The 6-year-old Chanyu's sphere of influence was only as small as the Xiongnu Zuodi, and his actual power was still controlled by his mother and General Zuo.  Subsequently, the Huns also formed a situation where the queen, Chanyu, and King Youxian stood at a tripartite position and fought endlessly.

    By the time Shangguan Jie's army once again garrisoned the defense line of the five counties of Shanggu in Yuyang, it was already two months later.  At this time, the two divisions of Bingzhou and Shuofang were already desolate and deserted.  Apart from the army, there are almost no people in the north of the two lands. The more than ten border counties originally had a population of more than one million, but now the population is less than 100,000!

    When Shangguan Jie re-deployed the defense line of the five counties, the 30,000 infantry led by Wang Yuanyou finally set foot on the Korean Peninsula.  Thirty thousand elite troops penetrated behind the enemy's rear, causing the entire North Korea to instantly become chaotic. However, no one on the entire peninsula could stop this army. It was like entering a deserted land, and the thirty thousand troops attacked the city and territory. In the end, they only used  In less than a month, Wangxian City became an isolated city.

    The name of General Wang Yuanyou spread throughout the world again. His undefeated record, his marching style that was very similar to Huo Guang's, and his merciless massacre of foreigners made this young commander the most prestigious person today.  A famous general of the general generation.

    As for the 20,000-story naval force originally led by Yang Pu, after half a year of siege, when they reunited with Wang Yuanyou, there were only a thousand people left.  The building general Yang Pu also died in North Korea a few months ago. His age, long-term pressure, and the difficult conditions of being trapped in North Korea prevented him from surviving to join Wang Yuanyou.

    The Korean Peninsula suffered a fatal attack, and Wei Youqu had no choice but to return in panic. At this time, Liang Wang Liu Xiang also left Guangcheng and began to regain the lost territory of Youzhou. Victory on the Youzhou front was just around the corner.

    When the first good news from the front line reached Chang'an, the whole of Chang'an was boiling.  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in Changle Palace also walked out of the palace excitedly and looked at the northern land that he could not see.

    "He did itreally did itI can still see the real prosperous age of the Han Dynasty in my lifetime" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty murmured to himself, his cloudy eyes  It actually looks a little wet.

    The people of Chang'an spontaneously took to the streets. This was a carnival that belonged to Chang'an and the entire Han Dynasty.  However, there are still two places at this time that seem a little out of place with the bustling Chang'an.

    One is the Wutai Hall in the East Palace of Weiyang. In the General's Office, from the General Huo Guang to the lower-level officials in the General's Mansion, they are all very busy. They are all busy with military information from the frontline battlefields.  Strategic deployments from the General's Mansion were sent to various places.  Huo Guang was still planning various deployments on the two fronts in Chang'an, thousands of miles away.

    "The other place is the imperial censor's office. The atmosphere here is no worse than that of Wutai Palace.  There was also a large amount of official exchanges, and orders were conveyed to all parts of the Han Dynasty.  Now that the autumn harvest has begun, how will the food function after it is harvested?  Troops on several battlefields are moving and changing positions at any time. How to ensure food and grass logistics?  All these require Sang Hongyang to sit at the center and strategize.

    As time passed day by day, the boiling Chang'an passed the first year of Taichu without knowing it.  And with the news of good news coming like snowflakes every day, the people of Chang'an were already a little numb. Everyone believed that the Han Dynasty was destined to win this war, and the only thing worth waiting for was time.

    Time has quietly come to April of the second year of Taichu, and it is the season of spring and flowers blooming again. It is exactly one year since Wei Youqu and Uwe Xingbing invaded.

    This year is destined to be an unusual year for the Han Dynasty, a year of victory, and a year of great waste!  In the main hall of Wutai Hall, Huo Guang and the officials of the mansion gathered together, and another meeting like a small court meeting began.

    "General. I have reported from Anhou that the defense lines of the five counties of Yuyang Shanggu have been re-deployed and activated. Now the Xiongnu has formed a three-legged alliance. The Queen of the Xiongnu, her son Shanyu and King Youxian do not recognize each other, and the three parties are fighting each other.  The attacks continue, and the Xiongnu will have no time to go south for at least a few years. The war in the north is completely over." General Shi Duyannian read out the document in his hand, but he was reporting to Huo Guang on the situation in the north.  Because although Wushilu was not a Chanyu, he did not hold power. Because of his young age, the Han Dynasty habitually called him Er Chanyu.

    "We sent an order to Shuo Fang to merge the prefecture, and all the original officials to return to their respective places, and to notify the people to return home as soon as possible. All occupied areas were exempted from taxes for three years, and production must be resumed as soon as possible. We also sent an order to all counties under Yizhou to move Yizhou prisoners to fill the merged state.  Shuofang. All non-capital crimes are pardoned!" Huo Guang immediately ordered, and his deployment had also shifted from war to reconstruction.

    "There are also General Yangwu and King Liang who came to report. Now there are only 20,000 remaining soldiers in Wei Youqu, retreating to the Zhushui area. The false King Wei has been killed, and the war in Youzhou has basically ended." Du Yannian continued.  Under the attack of King Liang and Wang Yuanyou, Wei Youqu is now at the end of its rope, and its destruction can only happen overnight.time.

    "YeahI know. I heard that there are no less than a thousand people in Chang'an Academy? There are over a thousand schools of thought reported?" Huo Guang originally planned to make some arrangements for Youzhou and North Korea, but  It seemed that he remembered something, but in the end he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked about the Chang'an Academy that had been built.

    "It is indeed true. I once heard Hou Huntian complain that some of them were just cheating the world and stealing their reputation." Du Yannian nodded and said, Huntian Hou is Luo Xia Hong, and the current Academy Jijiu.

    "Let's make some arrangements. If I have free time in the afternoon, I, the general, will go to the academy in person." There was no change in the expression on Huo Guang's face, but there was a faint chill in his tone.

    When Huo Guang was making arrangements to go to Chang'an Academy, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was listening to Zhang Anshi reporting exactly the same content under the crabapple tree in Changle Palace.

    "So the Xiongnu have nothing to worry about for the time being? Who is the largest among the three forces?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked leisurely.

    "Your Majesty, Queen Wuya should be the most powerful. She not only occupies most of the Xiongnu, but also most of the land with rich water and grass. In addition, she established a political and religious regime, and the people under her rule were also religious.  People, I heard that these Huns have regarded Wu Ya as a god and worshiped him with extreme fanaticism. I am afraid that the Huns will be unified again in a few years!" Under the instruction of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Anshi learned about the Huns through various channels, including  He is paying more attention to Wuya.  Now they also have a deeper understanding of Wuya.

    "In this case I have ordered Shangguan Jie, the Marquis of An, to lead the original Youfufeng garrison back to Chang'an. In addition, I have also sent orders to the King of Liang and the King of Zichuan, asking them to lead their troops back to Chang'an. Then grant Yangwu the title.  General Wang Yuanyou was appointed Marquis of Yangwu, wiped out the remnants of Wei Youqu, suppressed North Korea, and established counties in the homeland of North Korea." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a serious expression.

    Liu Kang, the former crown prince of Zichuan, had officially inherited the throne of Zichuan two months ago. His father Liu Jianshou passed away. Although Liu Kang was not in the country, the Zichuan Kingdom had already been in Liu Kang's pocket, plus Chang'an.  With recognition from all sides, Liu Kang became the first Han king to inherit the throne on the battlefield.

    "Thisrecalling so many troops at this time? Will it affect the overall situation?" Zhang Anshi showed hesitation in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for the first time. For decades, Zhang Anshi had never questioned Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or even revealed it.  own opinions.  But at this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly recalled the frontline commander and brought hundreds of thousands of troops to Chang'an at the same time. Zhang Anshi felt frightened.  As a minister and a subject of the Han Dynasty, he did not want to see the Han Dynasty get into trouble again at this time!

    "I have my own sense of discretion in my heart. Just do as I say." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not angry, nor was he angry because Zhang Anshi doubted him.  It can be seen from this incident that although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is old, he has not behaved like he was in his twilight years.

    "I obey the decree!" Zhang Anshi bowed and responded, and then went to draft the decree.

    The decree of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty this time was not a secret one. He wanted to recall the frontline commander and more than 100,000 troops. He could not hide it even if he wanted to. When the decree had not left Changle Palace, Zhaoyang Palace had already received the sudden decree of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.  This was also the second decree issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the name of the emperor after he retired to Changle Palace.

    Today¡¯s Zhaoyang Palace looks like a small imperial court.  Taisun is the leader, followed by many ministers such as Taifu, Shaofu, Sheren, Xianma and so on.  Originally, these official positions were all crown prince's offices, but now they just changed one word, to grandson.  These people are Liu Jin's true confidants and future court officials, including many people from the Shi family of Lu.

    "My dear friends, what do you think the emperor's purpose is in sending an edict to Shangguan Jie and Prince Liang to return to Chang'an?" Liu Jin asked aloud, and he was becoming more and more magnanimous as a king of a country.

    "No matter what the intention is, there is something we have to do now!" Before the courtiers in the palace could say anything, Liu Xijun had already walked into the palace in a hurry. Before she could sit down, he said as he walked.

    "Greetings to Your Highness the Princess." Taisun's confidants stood up and saluted Liu Xijun.  This Han princess, who was not the emperor's direct relative, was now a man of the hour in Chang'an City. Although she was a woman, she had great fame for a while.

    "What is sister talking about?" Liu Jin felt Liu Xijun's urgency, thinking that it was an extremely important matter.

    "The King of Yan has been very restless recently. We should ask the King of Liang and the King of Zichuan to pay a visit to the Kingdom of Yan when they come back." Liu Xijun said in a deep voice, and waves of killing intent appeared on the princess without concealment.  Her words made everyone in the palace nod.

    Outside the Chang'an Academy, Huo Guang's general's car slowly stopped. Thousands of people were already waiting at the entrance of the academy, waiting for the general to arrive at the academy.

    "Welcome to you, General." Seeing the carriage stop, Luo Xiahong stood in front of everyone and took the lead in bowing.

      Huo Guang slowly got out of the car, and after just a few steps, Zhao Yinhua hurriedly followed Huo Guang, and then whispered in his ear: "The emperor issued a decree to let Shangguan Jie and Liang Wang return to Chang'an.  He also brought hundreds of thousands of troops. In addition, Wang Yuanyou was left in North Korea by the emperor!"

    Zhao Yinhua¡¯s words made Huo Guang slow down, but the expression on his face did not change much.  He just frowned slightly, and then said in a voice that only he and Zhao Yinhua could hear: "Is it Shangguan Jie? It really surprised me"

    Huo Guang just said something in a low voice, and then he seemed to have forgotten about it, but he still looked calm and calm.  He walked towards Luo Xiahong, raised his hands from a distance and said, "Mr. Changgong, you are well"
