The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

(I was on a business trip a few days ago, and the conditions were too bad to update. I will resume updating soon. I am really sorry for the long wait.)
As Liu Han led his troops into Shanhaiguan to resist foreign enemies, the pressure on the northeastern part of the Han Dynasty suddenly decreased. The Han army fought a fierce battle with the coalition forces of Wuhuan and Gongsun. Both sides suffered losses and did not dare to start a large-scale war in a short time.

However, those who are familiar with Liu Han know that the more it is now, the more they cannot let their guard down. Liu Han is making such a big fuss on the front battlefield, so he must be preparing a back-up plan.

Lou Ban was so overwhelmed by the failure that he led his troops to challenge each other at Shanhaiguan every day. Gongsun Du knew that there was little hope of attacking Youzhou, so he made small moves in secret to prepare a retreat.

"King Zhenbei, this is amazing!"

When Gongsun Kang brought the shot carrier pigeon to Gongsun Du and took out the information tied to the pigeon's leg, Gongsun Du felt mixed emotions. No wonder the princes within the Guanzhong area could not defeat Liu Han. From this detail alone, it can be seen that this man is too terrible.

The princes were far behind Liu Han in terms of war preparations. They were more concerned about how many soldiers they had, how much food and grass they had, how many weapons and armor they had. And what about Liu Han? In addition to these, Liu Han also cultivated the cultural quality of soldiers, enriched the soldiers' mental outlook, sent military advisers to the grassroots, and equipped each 100-man team with one chief, one deputy and two chief doctors. The most important thing was intelligence.

When the princes were still transmitting information by fast horses, Liu Han's system of sending messages by carrier pigeons was already very mature. Therefore, it was not that the King of Zhenbei had the ability to anticipate the enemy, but that the information was transmitted much faster than others, one step faster, every step faster. This can also explain why the reinforcements from Youzhou arrived one day earlier than expected. One day earlier determined that the coalition forces' initial sneak attack plan was thwarted and the plan to go south was cut short.

Looking at the scribbles on it, Gongsun Du could conclude that it was a set of secret codes. "Kang'er, take it down. Even if we know that the King of Zhenbei sent a letter by carrier pigeon, what does it matter? What are they saying? Can you decipher it?"

"This...Father...we..."

They even used methods like sending messages by carrier pigeons, and used code words to ensure the confidentiality of the information. Just a glimpse of the whole picture made Gongsun Du begin to think of backing out.

"Kang'er, I don't want to boost others' morale and destroy my own prestige, but the facts are before us. If it weren't for our cavalry advantage, the 20,000 troops of the King of Zhenbei would be able to suppress our 100,000 troops in terms of infantry alone. In his eyes, we are just a mob that is good at riding and shooting."

"..."

"how?"

"General, we have already investigated and found that the Wuhuan royal court is 20 miles ahead."

"Good." After marching for several days, Xu Rong finally showed a long-lost smile, "It's worth it that we have been looking for so many days."

The troops that reinforced Youzhou were divided into two parts in Youbeiping. This was a common tactic used by the Han army - repairing the plank road in public and marching through Chencang in secret.

Liu Han led 20,000 men to Shanhaiguan, and the battle seemed to be fierce, but it was all a trick to detain the Wuhuan people.

The real knife was with Xu Rong. Xu Rong and Gao Shun led 20,000 cavalrymen 400 miles north into the grassland to launch a decapitation operation on the Wuhuan royal court.

"Brother Bo Ping, the most important thing about this attack on the Wuhuan royal court is to capture Tadun."

"Well, don't worry, Brother Ziyi. I will prepare it right away to make sure everything goes well."

Tadun has high prestige among the Wuhuan and has also been on good terms with the Han people over the years. If he can be captured and brought to the front line, Lou Ban will surely be in a state of panic and the strategic goal will be achieved.

If Tadun cooperates, everything will be fine. If he doesn't, Xu Rong's eyes flashed with cruelty, "The grassland will be flooded with blood once again."

The Han army had always fought civil wars with caution. After all, they were of the same nationality and it was not easy to break bones. Liu Han did not allow the army to kill people. They would capture people alive if possible and save people if possible. Every person saved was a life saved.

This time, he finally got a chance to let go and do something big. Xu Rong couldn't wait any longer. "I still envy Huang Hansheng."

If Xu Rong was fighting with all his might, then Huang Zhong was ready to have fun on the grassland. His men were the best-equipped elite troops in the Han army, and they were very jealous.

The night of the grassland falls quietly.

Tonight, Tadun was in an especially irritable mood, with a sense of foreboding. He had been imprisoned in the royal court for more than a month. "Alas!" The matter was done, Wuhuan had already gone to war with the Han court. Knowing that Liu Han was ruthless, he felt that the best outcome would be that Wuhuan's ten years of recuperation would be wasted. As long as people were still alive, it would be the greatest victory.

Lou Ban was guilty of provoking a war between two tribes for his own hatred. Tadun was older than Lou Ban. Liu Han’s extermination of the Southern Xiongnu and the massacre of hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people were not just stories he had heard of, but he had personally experienced them. There had been no large-scale wars in the north in recent years, and it was simply that the Han people in the Central Plains were busy fighting among themselves and had no time to deal with them. If they were angered, and that person really started to fight... Tadun didn’t dare to think about what would happen next.

But he... was his brother after all, so Tadun couldn't bring himself to kill him. During the month he was trapped in the royal court, Tadun thought more than once that if he hadn't been so soft-hearted and had taken Lou Ban down on the spot, would the war between the two clans have stopped?

Just as I was sighing, shouts and screams suddenly came from outside.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"..."

Gao Shun first led his men to eliminate the sentries left outside by the Wuhuan people, and then led the heavy cavalry of the Xianzhen Camp to break through the door of the royal court and launch a surprise attack on the Wuhuan.

"what's the situation?"

As the Chanyu of Wuhuan, Tadun instinctively walked out of the tent.

Canglang~
The guard drew his scimitar and put it in front of Tadun's chest, not allowing him to take a single step.

Tadun was furious, "You guys..."

"I'm sorry, Shanyu. We are just following orders."

"Oh!" With a long sigh, Tadun walked back, but the ominous feeling in his heart became even stronger.

"Big man!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Big man!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"attack!"

Gao Shun broke open the gate, and Xu Rong followed with the main force. The main force of Wuhuan was in Shanhaiguan, and there were not many elite troops left here, most of them were old, weak and sick. The Han army attacked at night with unstoppable force, and killed Wang Ting in just a quarter of an hour. For a while, wailing was everywhere.

"Follow me!" Gao Shun saw the king's tent not far away, so he led his soldiers to attack, "Tadun must be there!"

"kill!"

Those guarding the royal court are indeed elite members of Lou Ban, but how can they be a match for the Xianzhen Camp?
The shouting and killing outside gradually subsided. When the first person opened the king's tent, Tadun immediately drew his sword and asked sternly, "Who?!"

Gao Shun was not in a hurry. He kicked the corpse away. Tadun recognized it as the tribesman who had just stopped him from leaving. "Who are you?"

"I am Gao Shun, a general under the command of the King of Zhenbei of the Han Dynasty."

"Gao Shun?"

Tadun had naturally heard of this name, "Where is Louban? What did you do to him?" When the Han army attacked the royal court, Tadun's first thought was that Louban was defeated and the Han army was counterattacking. (End of this chapter)
