Chapter Thirty-Nine The Hate of Humiliation

"Dang thump!"

Zhou Yafu walked leisurely in the garden and rushed forward slowly.

Chun Tuo came up and complained: "Tiaohou, why are you here now? The emperor has urged you several times."

"Is that right?" Zhou Yafu was still so slow, as if he was not anxious at all, and entered the Palace of Harmony.

Emperor Jing knelt on the short table, holding his left hand on the short table, staring at the bamboo slips on the short table, a little dull. Hearing Zhou Yafu's footsteps, he turned his head: "Zhou Yafu, the military situation at the border is like fire. I urge you to come quickly, but you are slow. Don't you take my will to heart?" His tone was extremely unkind.

Zhou Yafu was calm and stepped forward to greet him: "Your Majesty, the more you are, the more you should keep your temper. I am a person without an official. If you hurry into the palace, it will inevitably cause panic. It would be better to come slowly!"

"Oh!" Emperor Jing suddenly realized and pointed at Zhou Yafu, with a smile on his face: "When it comes to military information, you have some methods. Take a look!" He pushed the bamboo slip in front of Zhou Yafu.

"This is the urgent case of Hongling sent by Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi. The actions of the Huns were unusual. From Hetao in the west to Liaodong in the east, thousands of miles of fronts were mobilized. This is the most unusual action of the Huns in decades since the heroic reign!" Emperor Jing frowned, his face with a worried look: "Dingxiang, Dai County, Youbeiping, and Yunzhong are under huge threats, and the Huns are launching a large increase in troops here. If these places fall, the Central Plains will be left without any danger to defend, the people will suffer, and the lives will be devastated. I have no face to face the spirit of Emperor Gaozu in heaven!"

Zhou Yafu's thick eyebrows were furrowed together and he pondered for a long time: "Your Majesty, as the urgent documents said, the Huns' actions this time are very unusual and there must be major plans. I ask for an order to fight against the Huns."

"Minister in the court, you know the most about the army. If you want to go, I feel very comforted!" Emperor Jing shook his head and said, "But, what I want you to do is even more important. Cavalry is necessary to fight against the Huns, but cavalry alone is not enough. The Huns have grown up on horseback and are skilled in riding and shooting. No matter how elite the Han cavalry is, they cannot gain too much advantage. Other methods are needed to help them. Finding this method is the fundamental solution to the Huns! Zhou Yafu, the burden on your shoulders is heavy!"

Zhou Yafu sighed lightly. The battle with the Huns was something he had been looking forward to for a long time, but he could not go to the border. It really made people sigh: "Since that's the case, I obey the emperor's intention. However, the military situation in this border has to be adjusted. I have to increase troops to the border. The Huns' move is fierce and has a great goal. If the border troops are not enough, it will be difficult to deal with. I dare to ask the emperor, should I win a big victory or defend the city?"

"Victory, victory! The Han Dynasty has not won for decades!" Emperor Jing raised his sword eyebrows and his tone turned high: "Zhou Yafu, what do you mean?"

Zhou Yafu asked Chuntuo to send the map and pointed to it and said, "Emperor, the Huns are mainly cavalry, and they come and go like the wind, so it is difficult to find them. This time, they attacked in large numbers, and the Han Dynasty took this opportunity to attack. They can let go of the front and introduce the Huns here. The Yanshan area has a complex terrain, which is not conducive to the galloping of the Huns' cavalry. They just take advantage of the Han Dynasty's advantages in chariot and infantry fighting, and siege and annihilate them."

"Good strategy! It's worthy of being a wise man!" Emperor Jing praised, and his bright eyes dimmed: "Zhou Yafu, have you ever thought about two problems? One is that in this way, hundreds of thousands of people will die in the war. How can I bear it? Second, the Han Dynasty is not ready to fight the Huns. If the Huns' army is annihilated at this time, the Huns will definitely not give up. They will set up a large army to fight against the Han, which will disrupt my plans. I want to guard the city. There will be a great war against the Huns sooner or later, but it is not in front of me."

He paused and sighed: "Now it is a big man who is in pain! My heart is also painful! I can only guarantee that the Huns will be hurt until the end!"

"Hey!" Zhou Yafu sighed: "The emperor is wise! From the overall situation, it is not appropriate to fight the Huns at the moment, and you have to endure it!"

Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "You can tolerate it, but you can't be cowardly! This time, I want to teach the Huns a lesson! Zhou Yafu, I sent a Jianzhang army to the border to let them participate in the war. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I have this intention!" Zhou Yafu agreed: "The elite of the great Han in Jianzhang Camp will play a great role in attacking Hu in the future. Now, it is better for them to accumulate experience!"

"Okay!" Emperor Jing praised the high-fives and pondered for a moment: "Zhou Yang has been training well over the past month. I want to let him play together, what do you think?"

Zhou Yafu did not answer immediately. After thinking about it, a trace of pain flashed across his face: "Thank you, the emperor!"

"On the battlefield, there is no sight in the sword and gun. If there is a mistake... you have to think about it." Emperor Jing looked at Zhou Yafu.

Zhou Yafu said firmly: "Your Majesty, I know one thing, only those with great destiny deserve to be heroes! Everything is decided by God!"

"Only those with great destiny are worthy of being heroes!" Emperor Jing praised: "Good insight!"

At the same time, deep in the desert, the Xiongnu royal court.

Countless tabernacles stood, the eagle flags of the Huns roared in the wind, and teams of elite Hun cavalry were galloping around.

There is a huge tent among them, and the top of the tent is an eagle made of gold, which is the tent of the Xiongnu Chanyu.

There were two people in the tent of the king, one was a very tall Hun, fur coated and fur hat, holding a scepter made of gold. The head of the pole was a lifelike golden eagle, who was the current Shanyu military minister of the Huns.

The other man was thin, white as pink, and had no beard under his chin. He was wearing a Han robe-curved dress, and stood beside the Junchen Shanyu with respect.

In front of Junchen Shanyu was a huge map. Junchen Shanyu's eyes were like lamps, staring at the map, without a moment. The scepter in his hand slashed on the map, and finally stopped: "Haha! Drinking the horses and the Wei River!" The sound was like a loud bell, shaking the eardrums.

If a Han minister saw the scepter in his hand, he would be scared and sweated. Wherever his scepter passed, he started from the important border areas such as Daijun, Dingxiang, Yanmen, and Youbeiping, headed southwest, passed Mount Li, and finally stopped in Chang'an.

"Come!" After laughing, Junchen Shanyu shouted loudly, and immediately a servant came in: "Go! Immediately send an order! The left and right wise kings, the left and right Guli kings, the left and right generals, the left and right great commanders, the left and right Gudu marquis, arrived at Longcheng on the fifth day of the fifth month! Ask them to bring their best warriors and the best The Legend of the Condor!"

The servants took the order and went to handle it. In a short while, hundreds of commanders left on horseback, and the orders of the military minister Shanyu were quickly passed to various Xiongnu tribes.

A huge conspiracy of the Huns against the Han Dynasty was being planned. This conspiracy caused hundreds of thousands of people to be displaced and died in war. The beacon fire thousands of miles from the mainland. The vanguard of the Huns arrived at Mount Li and set fire to the Han Dynasty royal palace "Ganquan Palace". The incident of burning Ganquan Palace is known in history as "Beacon Fire Ganquan".

The entire incident, known in history as "ling humiliation hatred", was one of the three major hatreds that the Han Dynasty suffered before Emperor Wu of Han defeated the Huns.
