The next day.
Weiyang Palace, the main hall Xuan room.
This time, Liu Bang led 320,000 troops to attack the rebel Han Wangxin, but was trapped by the Xiongnu on Mount Baishan. It had been half a year since Liu Bang returned to court.
Although the Crown Prince was in charge of the country, many things needed Liu Bang's approval.
On the dragon throne, Liu Bang, who had a good night's rest, regained some of his composure.
In the main hall.
Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Xiahou Ying, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, Lu Ze, Lu Shizhi, Fan Kuai, Prince Liu Ying, King Liu Ruyi of Zhao, and King Liu Heng of Dai.
All the officials and princes were gathered in the hall.
At this moment, General Fan Kuai stepped forward."
"Your Majesty."
"Last night, I received news that the traitor Han Wangxin already knew that the Xiongnu's Mao Dun Chief and his hundreds of thousands of soldiers had died. He then led his troops and fled to the grasslands overnight.”
In the Han Dynasty.
Fan Kuai was one of Emperor Liu Bang's most trusted men.
He grew up with Liu Bang and married Empress Lu Zhi's younger sister. They were brothers-in-law.
Hearing this, Liu Bang's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. He was extremely angry.
"Damn it!"
"It was a waste of my kindness to this traitor and making him king. I didn't expect that he would dare to contact the Xiongnu to rebel against me and almost caused me to die on Bai Dengshan!”
"Escaping to the grasslands is a crime worthy of death!”
Liu Bang hated to eat Han Wangxin's flesh, chew his bones, and peel his skin!
However!
After learning that Han Wangxin had fled to the grasslands overnight, even Liu Bang, the emperor, felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
The northern plains were a thousand miles wide!
This time, Mao Dun Chanyu and his 400,000-strong army had lost their lives on Bai Dengshan.
But to the Xiongnu, they were naturally aggressive and had countless tribes. Even if Mao Dun died, they would soon elect a new Chanyu.
Han Wangxin had fled to the plains, and he, the Great Han Emperor, was beyond his reach!
"Not bad!"
"Your Majesty, you have shown Han Wangxin great kindness, but he actually has wild ambitions. His crime is truly unpardonable!”
"I suggest that Your Majesty issue an edict to announce to the world that Han Wangxin will be stripped of his throne and that the matter of him colluding with the Xiongnu will be made public to the people of the Great Han Dynasty.”
"Han Wangxin is a sinner of our Great Han Dynasty!”
"Colluding with the Xiongnu, colluding with the Xiongnu, everyone has the right to kill him!”
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I believe that this traitor who ignored the king's kindness and betrayed the Great Han will one day receive retribution!”
"Such a shameless person will be written in the history books in the future and will be notorious for thousands of years!”
......
In the main hall.
After Liu Bang scolded Han Wangxin, countless ministers echoed him. They all angrily rebuked Han Wangxin for his treason.
Before Han Wangxin rebelled.
Many of these officials had accepted bribes from Han Wangxin.
But at this moment!
However, they all stood up and denounced Han Wangxin's traitorous behavior.
At this moment.
Marquis Liu Zhang Liang stood up and said to Liu Bang,"
"Your Majesty.
This Fa Chen had always been on good terms with the princes and generals of the Great Han Dynasty. He had been in the north for many years and knew the situation at the Great Han border like the back of his hand.
I'm afraid that not only will he harass the border all year round, but he will also collude with the generals to persuade people to rebel.”
Zhang Liang's words made Liu Heng's eyes light up.
This marquis Liu was indeed extraordinary.
In history.
After Han Wangxin defected to the Xiongnu.
He had been leading troops to attack the Han army at the border for the Xiongnu, and had even ordered people to persuade Chen Xi to believe him and rebel.
"Therefore, for the sake of the Great Han Dynasty's long-term plan.”
"Your Majesty, I implore you to take advantage of the death of Mao Dun and his 400,000-strong army and the great loss of the Xiongnu's strength to send troops to the grasslands to destroy Han Wangxin and attack the Xiongnu at the same time!”
In the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang had a very high status.
He was born into an aristocratic family of officials. Ever since he entered the court as an official, he had relied on his outstanding resourcefulness to advise the Han Dynasty. In addition, he did not care about power and position, so he was highly valued by Liu Bang.
Even in the court, there were many ministers who trusted him.
Therefore, he had no choice.
After Zhang Liang's memorial.
In the next moment, countless ministers submitted memorials, agreeing with his point of view.
...
On the dragon throne.
Hearing Zhang Liang's report, Liu Bang nodded.
"My beloved minister's words are in line with my wishes. However, I wonder what is a commander in the court?”
This Han Wangxin.
He was able to be conferred the title of King of a different surname because he had outstanding military achievements and was proficient in military affairs.
Moreover, although Mao Dun was dead, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse. The Xiongnu on the grasslands were still powerful, especially with their many cavalry who were good at attacking and shooting. They were not a match for ordinary people.
"Your Majesty, I recommend Great General Fan Kuai!”
"In my opinion, Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Ying Bu can all be marshals. They are the three famous generals of the Great Han Dynasty and can definitely destroy Han Xin!”
"General Zhou Bo's battle achievements are illustrious, and he has awed the Great Han.”
"Destroying Han Wangxin is the most important matter in the Great Han Dynasty. This matter is not unimportant. In the entire court, only Your Majesty is the most suitable candidate!”
"This subject suggests that His Highness King Zhao is His Majesty's son and will definitely win!”
"Lord Lu Ze, Marquis Lu of Zhou, is the Empress's brother, the Crown Prince's uncle, and has made great contributions to the Great Han!”
