Dahan first prince

Chapter 328 There must be a battle between the Han and the Hungarian!
She asked these questions calmly, although Liu Ying's face was still full of doubts, but at the same time as she asked the question, Liu Ying had already given the answer to her own question in her heart.

——From a military point of view, if Liu Ying wants to drive Weiman out of Pyongyang, then with the cooperation of Jinhan, Byeonhan, and the Joseon Jun Jizhun who now controls Mahan, he will need at most [-] troops;
Even if he wanted to wipe out Weiman's troops, Liu Ying needed to dispatch only 5 to [-] troops.

Because at the beginning of this year, when Weiman launched the palace coup in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, the armed force under his command was no more than a thousand people;

Even now, Weiman has mastered the entire Jizi North Korea, as well as several small countries, or small tribes, such as Jinfan and Goguryeo, but the sparse population density, backward development and lack of support on the Korean Peninsula are all unmatched today. The total strength of Weiman's troops will never exceed ten thousand.

the reason is simple.

——According to the historical development process, today's Korean peninsula can only maintain a standing armed force of about 2 people with all the power of "the whole island";
Unless Weiman kills chickens to get eggs and directly gives up the people's livelihood and livelihood of the people under his rule, otherwise, the "Wei Dynasty Joseon", which occupies half of the Korean peninsula, can only maintain a standing armed force of about 1 people at most.

Even among these 1 people, most of them are probably composed of young men who were temporarily captured and armed with wooden sticks or even stone tools.

In today's Korean peninsula, 1 soldiers and horses, including a "high-tech" elite of thousands of people, may indeed be regarded as a huge military force;

But in front of the Han Dynasty, which also has 'high-tech' weapons and ammunition, and the soldiers' military literacy is superior, 1 people are not enough.

——I don’t even talk about the center of the Han Dynasty, or the border guards near the north wall, just talk about Yan, Dai, Zhao, Qi, Chu, Liang, Wu, Huaiyang, Huainan, Changsha and other vassal states, which one has no Thirty to fifty thousand soldiers and horses in hand?
Leaving aside, let’s take Yan State, which is adjacent to Jizi North Korea, or ‘Wei’s North Korea’, as an example. As early as hundreds of years ago, Yan general Qin Kai had single-handedly included the entire Korean peninsula into the territory of Yan State !
A hundred years ago, the Yan State, which ranked the youngest among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, was still like this, let alone the Yan State that is now under the control of the Han Dynasty?
——As long as she wants, Liu Ying can send an imperial edict to Yanxiang Luanbu to bring tens of thousands of people to swim and camp in Weishui, which is the Yalu River in later generations. I was so scared that I pulled my pants on the spot!
If Liu Ying was willing to spend resources and let these tens of thousands of people cross the Yalu River, the only possible ending would be that the Korean people eat the pots and milk to welcome the teacher of the king of Liu Han.

Regarding this point, Chen Han, Bian Han, and Joseon Jun Ji Zhun, who have been away from the Central Plains of China for a long time, may not be very familiar with it;

But for Wei Man, who was still a Han official less than ten years ago, the military strength of the Han Dynasty was so strong that there was no need for extra threats from the Han family monarchs and ministers.

——Eight years ago, the battle of Pingcheng, where the Han and Hungarian sides invested a total of more than 50 troops, happened at the turn of Yan and Dai!

Nine years ago, King Zang Tu of Yan witnessed the next battle between Chu and Han Gai that brought the Overlord Xiang Yu to his end!

Just like knowing that the treasury of the Han family is empty and waiting to be rebuilt, the people of the world feel at ease, Wei Man also knows how difficult the Han family's army is.

Then, why did Weiman still send envoys to make a request of 'all the kingdom of Kunji' which obviously would not be accepted by the Han Dynasty?

For Chenhan and Bianhan who were also on the pilgrimage to the Han Dynasty, as well as the envoy of the Joseon emperor Jizhun, that is, Jizhun himself, why did Wei Man let him go instead of directly robbing and killing him halfway?

Ask yourself, if Liu Ying is in Weiman's current position, with many identities such as "Liu Han's wanted criminal", "Ji's great enemy", "Wei's Joseon founder" and many other identities, then Liu Ying is likely to do many things that are diametrically opposed to Weiman's. decision.

First of all, it is natural that Bian, Chen, Ma Sanhan, and the envoys of the defeated general Ji Zhun will be strictly guarded by the troops sent by Liu Ying, and they will even be intercepted and killed on the way!
As for the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying would adopt the phalanx of "be low-key and try not to attract the attention of the Central Plains", make a fortune in silence, and strive to quickly complete the unification of the Korean peninsula before the Han Dynasty turns their eyes on themselves.

Then, Liu Ying would choose to send someone to contact Zang Yan, the son of the old lord Zang Tu who was still active in the Huns court, and strive for the protection of the Huns.

In this way, dominating the entire Korean peninsula and relying on the Xiongnu is enough to make North Korea a Chinese separatist regime that is even more difficult to attack than South Vietnam.

But what makes Liu Ying feel unbelievable is that after seizing Jizi's Korean regime, Weiman's decisions are all surprising.

——First of all, in the summer and autumn, the news of "Zang Tu's evil Weiman plotting to seize Jizi's Korean regime" was sent to the Chang'an Central Committee in its entirety;
Now, the envoys from the three Koreas to the South, and even the Jizi Joseon Wang Jizhun himself, have appeared in front of Liu Ying!

What's even more bizarre than this is that Wei Man, knowing that he sent envoys to South Korea and had been received by Liu Ying, did not send someone to hug the Huns' thighs, but also sent people to Chang'an, saying, "Willing to share with the Han Dynasty?" A Nation of Brothers'······

Combining all these things, Liu Ying has seen most of the truth.

However, Liu Ying's answer to Wei Man's move to invite the king into the urn is: just use the plan...
"When I come to Chang'an, Yanqing will stay for a few days to see the wind of the imperial capital;"

"When I return to Pyongyang, I will tell Weiman on my behalf:"

"——At the beginning of spring next year, if Pyongyang is still not returned to the North Korean monarch, I will send a large army to the east to punish the evildoers."

Saying the phrase "If you are disobedient, I will beat you" in an extremely calm tone, Liu Ying smiled and nodded slightly to Bianhan, Jinhan's envoy, and Joseon Jun Jizhun.

"Send envoys from each of the three South Koreas to come to the DPRK, and you might as well stay in Chang'an for a while; wait for the court ceremony, I will send my elite soldiers from the Han Dynasty to escort you back to the country."

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Ji Zhun, Meng Xi, and Wang Sheng hurriedly bowed their hands and left the Changxin Hall in gratitude;
As for Yan Kai, even if he wanted to say something more, but under the glaring gazes of the courtiers in the palace, he silently bowed his hands, and immediately retreated with a complicated expression.

That is, the moment the Han envoys exited the hall, the indifferent look on Liu Ying's face disappeared, replaced by a touch of solemnity that made everyone in the hall straighten their backs involuntarily.

"Weman's dispatch of envoys this time is based on the order of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting!!!!!!"

Without hesitation, Liu Ying got up from the imperial couch and looked at Li Ji, the Wei Wei under the imperial steps, with a sullen face.

"I still remember last year, when King Lu Wan of Yan defected to the Huns, Wei Wei once said: So Zang Yan, son of Zang Tu, King of Yan, is still the guest of Di Chief Maodun?"

After Li Ji hurriedly nodded, Liu Ying nodded solemnly, and immediately looked at Cao Shen, who was at the forefront of worship.

"Marquis Pingyang, do you remember that last year, when Chieftain Di Maodu sent an envoy to insult his mother, Chang'an once got the theory of one thing, which made me hate and not be angry?"

Seeing Liu Ying pointing to him, Cao Shen walked out of the train and bowed to Liu Ying.

"Last year, Mao Dun sent envoys to insult the Queen Mother, and His Majesty was furious. However, the Queen Mother always thought about the emptiness of the treasury and the suffering of the people, so she had to swallow her anger, and sent the princess to the north with the gift of grain, cloth, salt and tea, and then married again. Huns."

"Hearing this, all the people in the world are filled with grief and indignation, and they say: Today's enmity is the enmity of the great man, and the enmity of the world!"

"Sooner or later, the king's master should raise his troops to go north, and he will besieged by the emperor Baideng and the chieftain Di Modun to humiliate the empress dowager!"

When he said this with grief and indignation, he saw Cao Can ponder for a while, and then continued with a watery face: "However, at that time, there was still a rumor in Chang'an, saying..."

"Uh, it is said that the queen mother will first register the maid as a princess, and then send her to go north to marry the Xiongnu. I am afraid that it will not be a few years old, and the Xiongnu will send another envoy to blackmail our Han family..."

"It is not a long-term solution to achieve peace by making peace with each other. Only by raising troops to the north and fighting against the Xiongnu can our Han family no longer be bullied by foreign barbarians..."

Hearing Cao Shen's words, Liu Ying sneered and slumped back to the imperial couch, pointing to the direction where the Han envoys left outside the palace gate.

"This is because the Xiongnu did not dare to start a war for the time being because of their marriage..."

After saying that, Liu Ying lowered her head with a bitter face, even her shoulders couldn't help shrugging.

As for the courtiers and officials in the palace, they could see through Liu Ying's deep meaning from Liu Ying's short words;
After a moment of silence, Wang Ling stood up with a stern expression and bowed his hands to Liu Ying.

"Your Majesty's intention is that Wei Man sent envoys to the Xiongnu when he captured Jizi North Korea?"

Almost at the same time as this question was asked, all the officials and courtiers in the hall, including Wang Ling himself who asked the question, all nodded slowly involuntarily.

There is no need for Liu Ying to answer this question.

Wei Man was the former general of Yan King Zang Tu, and Zang Yan, who lived in the Xiongnu, was the son of Zang Tu;
Whether it is for Weiman, who has a bad name and "steals" Jizi's Korean regime, or Zang Yan, who has nothing but the surname "Zang", who is under the fence, both parties have great use value for each other.

——Wei Man, who was wanted indefinitely by the Han Dynasty, needed Zang Yan as a bridge to obtain the asylum of the Huns for "Wei Dynasty Korea";

And Zang Yan, who has nothing, also needs Weiman, the "Zang Tuyi Department", and Wei's Joseon under Weiman's control, to seek the possibility of a comeback.

The two sides hit it off immediately and have a long history. Such an alliance is almost inevitable.

If he is not afraid to use the greatest malice to try to figure out the remnants of Wei Man, a traitor, even Wei Man's decision to seize Jizi North Korea is very likely to be based on the premise of "getting in touch with Zang Yan and obtaining the protection of the Huns". be implemented!
And in this way...

"His Majesty!"

After thinking for a while, he wanted to understand the key points, and Wang Ling became anxious!
"His Majesty."

"If the thief Weiman has already been protected by the Xiongnu, Weiman's sending envoys today is just to provoke our Han family to fall into North Korea!"

"When the army crosses the Yi River to the east and the northern wall is empty, the Xiongnu may go south immediately and plunder the border of Han!"

"As for the marriage between the Han and the Huns, the Xiongnu can also be said: Weiman has offered his loyalty to him, so he is the subject of the Huns; the Han family attacked the ministers of the Huns, and Hu Qifang of the Huns had a 'response' action..."

Saying this in a low tone, when Wang Ling looked at Liu Ying, his face was full of worry and determination!
"The old minister thought: My Han family must never interfere with the affairs of North Korea!"

"Especially don't send a large army to the east, and let the soldiers of our Han family fall into North Korea while making excuses with the Huns!!!"

Hearing Wang Ling's words, all the officials in the hall were already aware of the seriousness of the situation, and they couldn't help being shocked.

"The thief Weiman..."

"Quite cunning?"

With such thoughts in mind, everyone turned around quietly and exchanged opinions with each other through their eyes.

——You must know that just half a day ago, "Weiman asked to become a country of brothers with the Han Dynasty" was the biggest joke in Chang'an in the past year!

I don't know how many people of the Han family who dared not forget to worry about the country, sneered and said: This Weiman, I am afraid that he was confused by drinking and eating, and his brain was frozen in North Korea!
But at this moment, when they realized what kind of political intention Wei Man's move implied, none of the hundreds of important Han family officials and court elites in the Changxin Hall could laugh.

——Weiman's phrase "Please be a country of brothers" is clearly instigated by the Huns to stimulate the Han Dynasty to send troops!

But the Han family fell into an embarrassing situation because of Wei Man's understatement...

Jizi Joseon was the king of Zhou Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty claimed to "inherit the legal system of Zhou Dynasty"; if we just sit back and watch Jizi Korea's subjugation and turn a blind eye, then the legitimacy of Liu Han Sheji's rule will be directly shaken!

The phrase that the monarchs and ministers of the Han family kept saying, "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king; on the shore of the land, are the ministers of the king" will also be reduced to a complete joke!

But if they send troops to North Korea, the situation will be as Wang Ling said, giving the Xiongnu the pretext of "the Han Dynasty first." No need to be hindered by the Han-Hungarian marriage just a year ago, which prevented them from going south to attack and plunder Hanbian;

The Han Dynasty will also invest a huge amount of troops and supplies in North Korea, but in the end, there is a high probability that they will only get the false name of "helping Jizi and Xuyu to restore the country"...
"What An Guohou said is true."

""Sun Tzu" says: In the battle of the husband, the first battle is to attack the strategy, the second is to attack the enemy, the next is to attack the army, and the last is to attack the city."

"In the current situation in North Korea, Your Majesty may think twice before acting. The main plan is to attack, and the supplement is to attack diplomatic relations."

"If it is not necessary, His Majesty may not send troops to North Korea..."

Seeing that Cao Shen also stood up and persuaded Liu Ying to 'don't use force', the expressions of the courtiers and officials in the palace gradually took on a little determination.

As long as there is another heavyweight who says 'can't do anything', everyone will come from the same background and advise Liu Ying to 'bear the burden for the time being'.

But under the watchful eyes of all the officials in the palace, several important ministers standing in the front of the court, all of them fell into a long period of thought with watery faces.

What surprised everyone even more was that Wei Wei Li Ji was the one who won the final battle...

"Your Excellency, you really deserve to be a minister of the Han Zhu Kingdom..."

Recalling what his father Li Shang told him before going out today, Li Ji only gave a heartfelt admiration in his heart, then stood up and bowed solemnly to Liu Ying.

"His Majesty."

"The North Korean incident was a conspiracy set up by the Huns to drive Weiman for our Han family."

"Whether it is sending troops to fight against it, or planning or merging it, there are disadvantages to our Han family."

"The old minister thought that this matter should be decided by His Majesty."

"If the queen mother is willing to plan for our Han family, she should convince all the officials and make the country safe..."
