I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Liu He sat on the security car and returned to the Weiyang Palace cabinet as quickly as possible to check the room.

The turmoil of the debate has passed, and the silence of the past has returned to this place.

As soon as the officials in the cabinet saw the emperor's arrival, they all stood up and bowed down to salute.

Liu He didn't bother to tell them to stand up like usual, but rushed directly to the cabinet room.

Nowadays, the process of drafting cabinet votes has become more and more proficient, and there have never been any mistakes, so Liu He rarely comes here.

He spent most of his time in the Greenhouse Palace writing down various reforms and "meeting requirements". If the cabinet needed to do anything, he could just issue an edict directly.

Without the barriers of Sangong and the Secretary's Office, government orders are much smoother and more efficient than before.

Today's events are related to the war and are unusual, so Liu He came here specially.

When Liu He walked into the cabinet check room, he saw that all the cabinet bachelors had arrived.

When these people saw the emperor coming in, they all stopped what they were doing and hurriedly bowed down.

"No need to be polite, just take a seat!" Liu He waved his hand and said.

"promise!"

Afterwards, Liu He took his seat at the head of the long table, while the cabinet bachelors sat on both sides.

Before he could speak, he found that for some reason, the expressions of these cabinet bachelors were particularly respectful.

Even Wei Xian, who had competed with Liu He in Shiqu Pavilion a few days ago, now looked down and showed no disobedience.

"How, who sent the good news?" Liu He asked knowingly.

"Captain Chang Hui sent someone from Wusun Kingdom." Zhang Anshi said with respect.

"A great victory?" Liu He asked again.

"Great victory!" Zhang Anshi replied.

Liu He finally breathed a sigh of relief and understood why these cabinet bachelors were so respectful to him today.

In the original history, although the Five Route Han troops that went out of the fortress did not rebel, they also returned without success.

On the contrary, Wusun State, with the assistance of Captain Chang Hui, achieved a hearty victory over the Xiongnu.

After arriving in Chang'an City, Liu He always regarded this victory as an opportunity to control the Han army.

That's why he sent twenty Changyi Langs to follow Chang Hui and let him take them to the battlefield to practice meritorious deeds.

Last winter, Fan Mingyou and other three armies suddenly rebelled. Han Zeng's and Zhao Chongguo's troops decisively returned to Chang'an to aid Chang'an, and the rebellion was put down without any danger in more than a month.

However, this disrupted the trend of history after all, so Liu He was worried that this change would affect Wusun's victory over the Huns.

Now that the real good news came, the hanging stone in his heart finally fell to the ground safely.

"Where's the good news?"

"Your Majesty, please take a look." Zhang Anshi quickly presented the good news to the emperor.

Liu He couldn't wait to read it and was sure that this was indeed an unprecedented victory, even greater than the previous victory in history!

No wonder Zhang An and others looked so submissive. They may have come to their senses and realized that the emperor knew things like a god.

A few months ago, Huo Guangzhi proudly sent hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Xiongnu. Liu He expressed his concern and predicted that the Wusun Kingdom would achieve a great victory.

At that time, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, including everyone here, sneered at the emperor's words in their hearts, and even looked down upon him.

But now that the Wusun Kingdom has really won the battle, who dares to say that the emperor doesn't know how to fight?

He is simply using his troops like a god!

From the corner of his eye, Liu He felt everyone's care and admiration, and he was very satisfied. What he had to do today would be much easier.

He didn't say anything for the time being, just reading the good news carefully...

Last year, when the Five Route Han Army attacked the northern part of the Great Wall, King Weng Guimi of Wusun sent fifty thousand cavalry to enter Yougu Liting from the west to attack the Xiongnu.

The Five Route Han Army was massive and attacked from both sides in the Middle East. In addition, Huo Yu and others completely revealed the Han Army's layout to the Xiongnu.

Therefore, in order to avoid the front of the Han army, the main force of the Xiongnu began to move west early. In the panic, they happened to encounter the Wusun cavalry marching eastward.

The Wusun army was not a match for the Xiongnu army, but the Huns knew that the Han army was powerful and brought a large number of old, weak, women and children with them when they moved, making their movements very slow and unfavorable for combat.

Therefore, Weng Guimi, with the assistance of Chang Hui, commanded and launched many encirclement, annihilation and pursuit battles, taking advantage of his strong mobility to continuously harass the Xiongnu.

When the Xiongnu became a tired force coming from afar, they found fighter planes and decisively fought, defeating the main force of the Xiongnu in one fell swoop.

In more than a month, the Wusun Kingdom captured more than 40,000 Huyan Tushan Yu's uncles, princesses, famous kings, and cavalry generals, killed more than 50,000 Xiongnu bandits, and captured horses, oxen, donkeys, mules, There are over 50,000 camels and over 600,000 sheep.

Misfortune never comes alone for the Xiongnu. When the remnants of the Xiongnu fled north, they encountered a severe cold wave that had never happened in a century. The number of old and weak people, cattle and sheep who froze to death stretched for hundreds of miles.

Calculated in this way, the Xiongnu's strength was reduced by more than 70% after this battle.

I am afraid that it will be impossible to launch a major offensive against the Han border fortress in a short period of time.

Or to be more confident, starting from this battle, the Huns would not be able to harm the Han frontier for decades.

Liu He put down the good news and thought of something more distant.

…    In the original historical line, after experiencing this great defeat, the Xiongnu patrolled the edge of Mobei for more than a hundred years.

Even after experiencing the split between the northern and southern Xiongnu, they were still unwilling to leave.

When the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, they even wanted to go south to restore their former glory.

In the end, after several attacks led by Dou Gu and Dou Xian, the Huns lost their troops and generals, and finally fled Mobei.

Then, under the pursuit of Ban Yong, Feicen, Sima Da and others, they fled westward, gradually getting away from China's sight.

In the end, it completely disappeared from the records of Chinese history books.

For a long time, the people and historians of China did not know where the Xiongnu went.

But as a latecomer, Liu He knew it.

The Huns, who were defeated at the hands of the Han army, fled westward, crossing Central Asia and the Don River, sweeping across Eastern and Central Europe and threatening Western Europe.

Along the way, they defeated any nation that dared to stand in front of them and established a huge empire spanning Asia and Europe.

From a certain perspective, the defeat to the Western Han Dynasty started the prosperity of the Xiongnu Empire.

The westward migration of the Huns caused a domino-like collapse of various ethnic groups in Europe.

The barbarians continued to flee westward, attacking the borders of the Roman Empire, putting the Western Roman Empire in danger.

Subsequently, the Huns gave birth to their greatest chanyu - Attila, the whip of God.

Under the leadership of Attila, the Huns were in an uninhabited territory in the Western Roman Empire and almost captured the city of Rome.

But the Scourge of God finally broke inexplicably.

Attila married a young girl as his concubine, but on their wedding night, he mysteriously died on the wedding bed.

After Attila's death, his sons fought for the position of the Great Chanyu and started a civil war. The Hun Empire collapsed in an instant.

If Attila had not died, the history of Europa might have changed dramatically.

……

If Liu He had not come to the Han Dynasty, the Huns would not have moved westward until one hundred and fifty years later, and the Xiluo Empire would have felt the fear of the Huns four or five hundred years later.

But now, Liu He is here. He wants the Huns to move westward earlier, trigger the barbarians to advance westward earlier, and threaten the Western Roman Empire earlier.

At this moment, Rome was not at the end of its strength and had absolute strength to resist the invasion of barbarians and Huns.

Then, the situation will be more exciting, intense and bloody than the original history.

Huns, barbarians and Romans would fight tit for tat, and the whole of Europe would fall into chaos.

Chaos is the ladder.

It is the ladder for big men to climb up.

Within the Han Dynasty, there were very few interests that could be divided, so it was necessary to expand outward in order to escape the "Malthusian population trap."

A big man can drive away wolves and swallow tigers, and he may get unexpected surprises.

What happens next is still far away from now, and Liu He doesn't know how much he can do, but for now, he must at least let the Huns start moving westward earlier.

Then, there is only one way to pursue the defeated enemy!

……

Thinking of this, Liu He suddenly slapped the good news on the case and said several words "good".

"Zhang Qing, Captain Chang Hui has made great achievements. Can he be granted the title of Marquis?"

"This is an unparalleled achievement that can lead to the title of marquis." Zhang Anshi replied.

"Okay, draw up an edict immediately and spread this good news to the world..."

"In addition, if I want to make Chang Hui a marquis, I will make him a Marquis of Changluo, with a settlement of 800 households. In addition, the post of former general is vacant, and Chang Hui will be appointed as former general!"

In this way, even if Chang Hui entered the court, it would be much earlier than before: this means that he can establish higher merits in the future.

In addition to Chang Hui, Liu He also cared about the twenty Changyi Langs he sent out.

"Can Changyi Lang who followed Chang Hui achieve military exploits?" Liu He asked alone.

"The Marquis of Changluo wrote a memorial alone and expressed great praise for the men of Changyi." After Zhang Anshi finished speaking, he immediately submitted another memorial.

After Liu He took it, he continued to read eagerly, but the expression on his face changed rapidly.

In the memorial, Chang Hui greatly praised these twenty Changyi Langs, saying that they "took the lead and bravely championed the three armies."

However, of the twenty young men who left the fortress, half of them returned to the Han Dynasty and were wrapped in horse corpses. (End of chapter)
