Han Dao world

Chapter 221
Hu Chuquan was stunned, with a fierce look in his eyes, staring at Liu Xie, and put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.

Liu Xie remained calm, meeting Hu Chuquan's gaze without showing any anger.

The four eyes are facing each other, and no one is willing to show weakness.

Tian Fen turned pale with shock.

The Huns on the side also looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Someone has already pressed the handle of the knife, but dare not pull it out easily.

The young man in front of him is the emperor of the Han family. Not long ago, he defeated tens of thousands of Xiliang elites and beheaded Dong Zhuo's old general Li Jue with his own hands.

Although there is only one young woman beside him, there may be countless elites not far away.

Once a conflict occurs, they cannot retreat unscathed.

After only a moment, Hu Chuquan lowered his head guiltily, and bowed his hands in salute. "Dare to tell Your Majesty, Brother Chen went to Luoyang to write a letter a few years ago, requesting the court to be canonized, but he was blocked by the rebellious officials and could not do so. Hearing that His Majesty is coming to Hedong, I rushed over immediately."

Liu Xie straightened his waist and nodded slightly.

"You and I were both harmed by rebellious ministers, so we feel sorry for each other. There is a saying among us big men, that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. I hope you and I can do the same and inherit the unfinished business of our father and brother."

Hu Chuquan nodded in relief, his back felt cold for a while.

Liu Xie shook his head. "Get on the horse and walk with me."

Hu Chuquan was a little confused, not understanding what Liu Xie meant.

Seeing this, Tian Fen quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty has an order to give Shanyu a companion, and Shanyu should thank you for your kindness."

Hu Chuquan didn't know etiquette, he was flustered, he did what Tian Fen said, thanked him, ordered someone to lead the horse, and got on the horse.

Liu Xie pulled his horse and left.

Just as Hu Chuquan was about to kick his horse to follow, Tian Fen rushed over, grabbed Hu Chuquan's bridle, and gave a few low-pitched instructions, all of which was to be careful in answering, to walk a little behind, and not to fall too far behind. kind.

Hu Chuquan listened to them one by one, and kicked his horse to catch up with Liu Xie.He took a peek at Cai Yan on the left side of the emperor, imitated the example, slowed down, and followed the right side of the emperor, half a horse behind.

Liu Xie heard Hu Chuquan's hooves, but did not answer.

He heard Jia Xu explain Huchuquan's character, and knew that this was a greenhouse flower who had never seen the world and experienced any wind and rain, so he chose to show strength and gained a psychological advantage from the beginning.

First impressions are very important, especially for social novices like Hu Chuquan.

If you make him feel that you are easy to bully, the possibility of him biting you in the future will increase several times.

First suppress him with the momentum of thunder, and then use similar encounters to narrow the relationship, gain sympathy for the same sick, and then separate him from his subordinates, forming a situation of being alone, further making him feel the pressure, and finally in the continuous Give up resistance under psychological pressure.

These are all small tricks in the workplace. Liu Xie played very slippery, and even the old foxes in the officialdom such as Yang Biao were manipulated by him, let alone Hu Chuquan.

"Why was your father Qiang Qu Shanyu killed? And who did it?" Liu Xie asked unhurriedly.

When mentioning his father Qiang Qu Shanyu, Hu Chuquan immediately fell into painful memories.

The bloody scene from a few years ago came to mind again, making him shudder.

Those people didn't disappear, they were still in Meiji, making it hard for him to return home, so he could only live in Hedong like a dog.

Hu Chuquan came one by one with unconcealable fear.

Speaking of his sadness, he couldn't control his emotions and cried bitterly.

Liu Xie remained calm, his heart was like still water.

Cai Yan's eyes widened in shock.

No matter what, she couldn't understand why Hu Chuquan lost his composure and cried like a child.

This is the Xiongnu Shanyu, and she is not a boudoir who has never seen the world.

Fighting each other is not what they are used to.

This is the case with the Xiliang people she is familiar with so far.In every battle, many people will disappear.

At the foot of the hunting hillside, Liu Xie reined in his mount to give Hu Chuquan time to calm down.

Seeing the Han knight galloping not far away, Hu Chuquan quickly shed tears to cover up his gaffe, and at the same time regretted the weakness he showed.

How will you see anyone after this?

"Do you want to fight back to avenge your father and brother?" Liu Xie turned his head and looked at Hu Chuquan quietly.

"Think." Hu Chuquan didn't think about it, and then he was a little short of breath, cupped his hands and said: "The soldiers are not enough, the food is not enough for a month, and the heart is weak. I hope that your majesty will be the master."

"Since you regard me as the king, I will naturally make the decision for you." Liu Xie paused for a moment, and then said: "However, there are some differences in how to make the decision."

"respectively?"

"Yes." Liu Xie nodded solemnly. "Do you want me to send an envoy with an edict to escort you back to Meiji and canonize you as Shanyu, or do you want me to lead the elite to destroy Meiji and drive out all the traitors who killed Qiangqu Shanyu?"

Hu Chuquan's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer.

Liu Xie was not in a hurry, but gave Cai Yan a wink.

Cai Yan understood, got off the horse, took the pen, ink, and notebook from the bag he carried with him, and recorded the conversation between the Son of Heaven and Hu Chuquan.

This made Hu Chuquan even more nervous, not daring to answer easily.

This is a dilemma.

It is undoubtedly the simplest and most commonly used to just ask the emperor to issue an edict, canonize him as Shan Yu, and use his own strength to suppress the rebellion.

The only problem is that it is not practical, he simply does not have enough strength to suppress the rebellion now.

It is very likely that in the end Shan Yu could not do it, and instead lost his life.

If you ask the emperor to lead his troops to escort and kill those who killed his father and enemies, not to mention that the emperor must have other requirements, it is by no means as simple as being a minister, and whether the emperor has such strength is also a question.

The Son of Heaven had also just gotten rid of the control of the Xiliang people and gained a foothold in Hedong, so the situation was not much better than him.

Said to help him send troops to quell the rebellion, but also to go out in person, it is probably just a polite word, it is impossible to do it at all.

Even if he reluctantly agrees, he doesn't know when the trip will take place.

"You don't need to rush to answer." Liu Xie said: "The New Year is coming, you stay in Anyi for a few days, think carefully. After the New Year, you will have time to give me another answer."

After hearing this, Hu Chuquan became more determined in his mind.

Horse fattening in autumn and winter is the best time to go out for an expedition.After the new year, when spring comes, the war horses will lose their husks, which is not a good time to go out at all.

"Your Majesty, the United States is far away, and it will take time to organize an expedition. Is there still time after the New Year?"

The corner of Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly, and he said unhurriedly: "Back then, when Huo Qubing defeated King Youxian's tribe, he traveled thousands of miles, and it took only half a month. What's too late?"

Hu Chuquan was both surprised and delighted. "How many cavalry does Your Majesty have?"

"Three thousand riders."

Hu Chuquan's mood that had just been soaring fell to the ground with a plop. "Only three thousand?"

"Three thousand is not enough?" Liu Xie smiled with an extremely confident calmness. "Back then Wei Qing broke through Dragon City with a thousand riders, and Huo Qubing made new achievements with [-] riders. My three thousand riders may not be able to directly attack Dragon City and level the grasslands, but it is more than enough to put down Meiji's rebellion."
