Chapter 28 3. Marriage is a difficult problem

135 BC, autumn, August.The Eastern Bo star appeared, and the starlight lasted for a long time. According to astronomers, something must happen in the east.Sure enough, in the autumn of this year, Luo Ying, king of Fujian and Yue, led his army to attack South Vietnam.Zhao Tuo, king of Nanyue, used to be the king of the east, but now Zhao Tuo has died underground, his son Zhao Hu took over, and it was Luo Ying's turn to bully him. Zhao Hu did not dare to send troops, and immediately sent someone to call for help from the Han Dynasty.When Liu Che saw it, it was incredible, it was the King of Minyue again.Before Zhao Tuo died, he had worshiped the Han Dynasty as his elder brother.Minyue bullying Nanyue is tantamount to bullying the elder brother's younger brother.

So, Liu Che gritted his teeth and uttered one word: Hit! The soldiers of the Han Dynasty were divided into two routes: the first route was led by Wang Hui, the director of reception for foreign officials and civilians (Daxing), starting from Yuzhang County (now Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province); The county (now Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province) sent troops to attack Minyue from two routes. The brigade had already set off, when Liu Che received a long letter.He opened it and saw that it was as long as a foot wrap and smelled so strong that even mosquitoes were afraid of him.The author of this book is Liu An, the king of Huainan.Liu An is the son of Liu Chang.The purpose of Liu An's letter was to oppose Liu Che's southern expedition.The basic reasons are roughly as follows:

First: Your Majesty rules the world and should promote benevolent government and advocate peace.Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the two countries have beaten each other no less than a hundred times.However, the Han Dynasty never really sent troops deep into combat.Why is that?The main reason is that the wet mountains in the south are deep, the forest is full of barriers, and the beasts are infested. The Han army is not suitable for fighting in different places, and it must suffer.Have you ever remembered that the king of Nanyue once betrayed the Han Dynasty, and my father Liu Chang sent troops to fight in depth.As a result, it was summer and cholera was rampant, and our soldiers vomited and diarrhea, and were forced to return to the army.

Second: Minyue has hundreds of thousands of troops. If we want to take it down, we must have five times more troops.Wounding soldiers and generals, not to mention wasting people and money, even if we take Minyue and capture the whole country, it will be a trade that is not worth the gain.I heard that the king of Fujian and Yue, Luo Ying, has been killed by his younger brother Luo Jia. Your Majesty might as well move their whole country to the Central Plains just like the Eastern Sea Kingdom.Of course, if you find it troublesome, you can support another king who is pro-Han, enfeoff the prince, and make him a vassal of the Han forever.

In terms of seniority, Liu Che should call Liu An uncle.At first, Liu Chang and Liu Heng were as close as brothers, but Liu Chang was too arrogant and even stupid to rebel, so he was abolished by Liu Heng.This Liu An is not bad, and he is also very talented.Liu Che appreciates his talent very much, but as far as this book is concerned, Liu Che really dare not agree with him. In the world, is there a war of the undead?After Minyue is settled, the next step is the Xiongnu.This is a national strategy.Even if there is cholera in the south every day, this war must be fought over.Therefore, Liu Che left Liu An's long letter and did not reply to Liu An temporarily, and the army continued to advance south.

However, the good news came immediately: Minyue started fighting within itself. This internal strife is just like what Liu An said in the book, the Minyue king Luo Ying was beheaded by his younger brother Luo Jia, and was being rushed to Wang Hui.At the same time, Luo Jia apologized to the Han Dynasty on behalf of the Minyue Kingdom, and was willing to withdraw troops. This result is really surprising.When Wang Hui saw it, he was elated, and what he wanted was this result.All right, since we've all conceded defeat, let's stop fighting.Therefore, Wang Hui stopped advancing immediately, and Fei Shu told Han Anguo that he didn't have to bother to go.At the same time, Wang Hui reported Luo Ying's head to Chang'an and asked Liu Che to make a decision.

Now that everyone has conceded defeat, it is meaningless to fight again.Therefore, Liu Che immediately issued an edict to withdraw his troops, and at the same time, sent strict assistants to appease Nanyue King Zhao Hu. In fact, appeasement is false, and the conditions are true.The Han Dynasty did you a great favor, and the Kingdom of Nanyue must at least show it. The conditions of the Han Dynasty are very simple: Zhao Hu, your Nanyue king, will do as he pleases, but you must send the crown prince to Chang'an as a hostage, and swear that you will never have any second thoughts about the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Hu heard that this condition is not too harsh.Immediately, he was so moved that his tears were about to flow out, and he immediately said to Yan Zhu: Don't worry, I will not only send the prince there, but I will also go to Chang'an myself, and thank the emperor in person. So, Zhao Hu sent Yan Zhu to take a step ahead, and set off immediately after his official uniform was ready. However, Zhao Hu still did not go to Chang'an. The reason is simple, he was afraid.He couldn't decide whether Liu Che was a dog or a wolf; but he was sure that he was that soft meat bun.What if the meat buns are sold out and never come back?

For Liu Che, it doesn't matter whether Zhao Hu comes or not.Zhao Hu was frightened and asked the Han Dynasty for anything.As long as this effect is achieved, the emperor's political mission will be considered completed. However, the Han Dynasty took care of Minyue, and the Xiongnu, who had been struggling with the Han Dynasty, also wanted to take a break.In the same year, when the Xiongnu heard the news that the Han Dynasty had won the war against Fujian and Yue, they kicked up their hind legs and ran to the Han Dynasty on their own initiative, saying that they wanted to marry each other.

When Liu Che heard this, he couldn't help but sneer.In the past, it was always the Han Dynasty who took the initiative to make peace.Now that the back of the Han Dynasty is hardened, you also know that you have taken the initiative to make a kiss, right?Well, since you mentioned it, I'll find someone to discuss it.Therefore, Liu Che held a court meeting to discuss the Huns' marriage. Since Gaozu, the rule of getting married has been established for so many years, and no one has ever dared to call for beating.Marriage, marriage, and marriage have since become the basic national policy of the Han Dynasty towards the Xiongnu.Anyone who makes a strange sound will be scolded and flattened.Unexpectedly, after many years, another person shouting and beating jumped out.

It was Daxing Wang Hui who called for beating. Wang Hui, a native of Yan, claimed to know the Xiongnu well.The reason he shouted at the Xiongnu was that since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the Huns and Han had made peace, and the honeymoon was only a few years, and the Huns always rebelled first.Therefore, it is always us who suffer every time.The tiger didn't show its power, so he thought it was a sick cat.How about, let's be awesome today, refuse to marry, and fight back to the hometown of the Huns. As soon as Wang Hui finished speaking, someone immediately jumped out to object.This person is the new imperial censor, Han Anguo. Han Anguo's opinion is to get married. His reasons are roughly as follows: the Huns have always been like migratory birds and have no fixed place.Coupled with the vastness of the desert, it is really difficult for us to chase him down.If we send troops, there is no place to use our strength, and the soldiers will be exhausted, and the Xiongnu will take the opportunity to counterattack.In the end, it is only us who suffer.Besides, since ancient times, we have not regarded the Xiongnu as human beings (not as human beings since ancient times), so what's the point of having trouble with bird people, it's better to get along with each other. Whenever I read this passage from Han Anguo, I can't help but secretly smile.A marriage is a marriage, so why call the Huns a birdman?It seems that our Ah Q spirit really has a long history, and it is worthy of being a major cultural specialty of China. While talking about fighting, at the same time talking about making peace.For a moment, Liu Che didn't know whether to fight or make a kiss.First look at Wang Hui, he was right, the Huns owed the old debt to the Han Dynasty, and it was time for him to pay it back.But what Han Anguo said is also very reasonable. The Han Dynasty had no aircraft and no satellite positioning, and the Xiongnu always fired one shot for another, and moved their nests more frequently than rabbits.This is also really difficult to adjust. In this case, let's see everyone's opinions and vote with a show of hands. As a result of the vote, most people sided with Han Anguo, and the marriage was the upper hand. Liu Che was speechless. Well, let's make love temporarily.
