Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "My lord and you all should know that there are two groups of Huns scattered in Hedong and Xihe counties.
In recent years, their strength has recovered rapidly, their population has increased significantly, and they are no longer satisfied with their current grazing land.
If they don't care about it, they are afraid that they will invade the surrounding Han people's land and turn these lands into their pastures.
Now they just take this opportunity to consume the strength of the three Xiongnu tribes.
Ting sent people to Xihe County and Hedong to recruit Xiongnu soldiers, and then handed them over to Beitong to give him some food, grass and weapons.
After all, this was their internal dispute, and it was up to the Huns to resolve it themselves.
For this reason, the Huns recruited soldiers and horses.
There shouldn’t be much opposition.
Even if my lord doesn’t make any request to Qubei, my subordinates think that Qubei will definitely send the heads of the Hun king and the shaman to your desk.”
"What if Qubei is not a match for the old king of the Xiongnu and the shaman, and he loses a big defeat?
If Qubei wins, the court will make him the king of the Xiongnu."
Liu Cheng asked.
Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "No matter who loses or wins, the strength of the Huns will be greatly weakened.
Then it will be the imperial court's turn to send troops.
They will defeat the Huns at once, execute the Huns old king and shamans, or go to Humble, choose a puppet from among the Huns to control, and cut it off like grass every few years to prevent it from growing up.
In this way, the Huns will never become a threat to our dynasty again. , will only be lost in the long river of time.”
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a poisoner Liu Cheng praised it in his heart and said: "Okay, it's settled."
At this time, Guo Jia stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, since the death of Tan Shihuai, the leader of Xianbei in Mobei, the Xianbei people in the east, middle and west have been in chaos for a while.
The imperial court has been busy dealing with civil strife in recent years and has not been able to pay attention to Mobei.
These Xianbei people, in recent years, the Xianbei people have been competing with each other for territory and strength because of the death of Lao Wang Tanshihuai, but their actions and scale are not too big.
The most fierce battles are There are only the eastern Xianbei people, while the central Tuoba Xianbei and western Xianbei are relatively stable.
Their subordinates feel that they cannot allow the Xianbei people to develop with peace of mind and let them grow.
If this continues, their strength will become stronger year by year.
If they are honest It’s okay to stay in Mobei, but they are migrating south every year, which poses a huge threat and military pressure to our border."
Liu Cheng was shocked after hearing this.
This was a far-sighted idea that he had not heard for a long time.
He raised his hand and said, "Fengxiao, please tell me your specific ideas."
Guo Jiadao: "I heard that the three tribes of the western Xianbei tribe are on their way to Chang'an to meet the emperor.
They are not far from Chang'an.
Maybe this is a good opportunity to let the three tribes of the western Xianbei move first and give them some benefits and benefits. promise" "This is a good idea.
The eastern Xianbei is still far away from us and we can't reach it.
However, the central and western Xianbei are like two swords hanging above our heads.
They may be cut down at any time.
It is also time to deal with the desert.
The layout is underway in the north.”
When Liu Cheng said this, he said to Guo Jiaqi: "Fengxiao, you will be in charge of this matter.
I will appoint you as the deputy commander of the secret camp, and Jia Wenhe will be your deputy.
Jia Wenhe, you and Guo Fengxiao will divide the work."
The two of them cupped their hands and said, "Yes."
Although the secret camp and the Bronze Mirror Division are still shrouded in a veil of mystery among the Guandong princes, they are no longer a secret in front of the officials and generals under Liu Cheng.
They are almost semi-public official organizations, with only Wang Yue's shadow.
The Wei Department is still very secretive.
Even these close ministers and staff only have a vague feeling that there should be a source of information around Liu Cheng, but they don't know what it is.
Even Wang Yue, they have never seen his true face.
On October 20, the Huns' envoy arrived and was arranged by Honglu Temple to stay in the posthouse.

After Zhang sent people to arrange the Huns envoys, he rushed to Da Sima's Mansion to report the matter to Liu Cheng.
After hearing this, Liu Cheng planned to send troops to arrest these people and put them in prison.
What are you doing with all this face-saving work?
But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that this was wrong.
He was an envoy after all.
Regardless of the relationship between the two parties, he should not vent his anger on the envoy.
This would have a bad impact on the diplomatic image of the Han Dynasty.
So he ordered: "What Honglu Temple should do should be done.
Everything is as usual.
However, the Xiongnu envoy and his party will be closely monitored and controlled.
You don't need to worry about this matter.
Our guild will send people from the Bronze Mirror Division to do it." , people from Honglu Temple must cooperate closely.”
"Understood" Zhang Ji agreed, turned around and left.
Liu Cheng immediately sent someone to summon Zhao Rui and told him: "The Huns envoy and his party have arrived at Chang'an Post House.
Do you know about this?"
Zhao Rui cupped his fists and said: "I know that since they left Meiji City, they have been targeted by our people.
They are currently under surveillance in and around the post house."
Liu Cheng nodded and said: "Very good, they may be inquiring about information in Chang'an.
Your character must control them well.
Don't let them escape your sight.
Don't let them pass on the news.
If necessary, send additional manpower. , Quebei may arrive in a few days, they can’t see him or get any news about him, do you understand?”
"Follow your orders" Early the next morning, Liu Cheng accompanied Emperor Liu Bian to receive the Huns envoy Luan Tilie at Weiyang Palace.
This man was actually Qubei's cousin.
"The foreign minister Luan Tilie, the Hun envoy, pays homage to His Majesty the Han Emperor and the Protector" Liu Bian raised his hand and said: "Plain body" "Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor"
Liu Bian shouted and asked: "Luan Tilie, you Huns recently sent out more than 10,000 horsemen to kill the people on our border and plundered countless cattle, sheep and property.
Are you here to die this time?"
Luan Tilie calmly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, it was Chanyu Qubei's idea to send troops to kill Han people and plunder cattle and sheep.
The leaders of the various ministries did not agree with him at first, but they were frightened by Qubei's power.
People had to obey.
Afterwards, the heads of the ministries regretted it.
They united to defeat Qubei and captured him.
The heads of the ministries decided to send ministers to escort him to Chang'an and hand him over to the Emperor for questioning, so as to appease him.
The anger of His Majesty the Emperor and the Han court, but Qubei is too cunning, and there are many die-hard elements among our Xiongnu people.
Before we set off, someone kidnapped him from the prison, and we found him through tracing We have already escaped into the territory of the Han Dynasty, so I have traveled day and night to report to His Majesty the Emperor first, and also ask His Majesty the Emperor to allow us to pass freely in the Han territory so that we can be captured and brought to his Majesty the Emperor for punishment."
Liu Cheng shouted with a cold face: "Luan Tilie, I want to ask you, what you just said is true.
If you dare to deceive His Majesty and me, you should know that the consequences will be serious and you will never be able to bear it.
Ten thousand Xiongnu cavalry invaded the border and killed me.
There were tens of thousands of people on the border of the Han Dynasty, and they robbed countless cattle, sheep, horses and property.
No matter whose idea it was, the Huns had to pay a price for this.
Even the head of the Hun King could not calm the hatred of His Majesty the Emperor and the Han court. anger" "Everything I said is true, and I will never deceive His Majesty the Emperor and the Lord Protector.
Before I came, the heads of the various ministries also knew that going down would not quell the anger of His Majesty the Emperor and the Han Dynasty court, so the leaders decided to Completely eradicate Qubei's forces and kill all his people, Because it was those people who went to kill and rob the Han people on the border.
The leaders of the various ministries did not participate in this matter.
Please let His Majesty the Emperor spare the remaining Huns.
They will be more loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Han court.

If His Majesty the Emperor has orders in the future, we will The Huns will definitely fight to the death.”
Liu Cheng clasped his fists at Liu Bian and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that since Qubei has fled into our territory, the pursuit of him should be carried out by elite agents sent by our government.
The Huns sent people in without our consent."
We in the Han territory have the intention of invading our dynasty by chasing them down, so we should immediately send people to control them, disarm them, and hold them accountable in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty."
"That's right."
Liu Bian raised his hand and agreed, and then said to Luan Tilie: "Luan Tilie, you guys can stay in Chang'an Posthouse for the time being.
We can wait until we are caught and go to the base.
I can't just listen to your words.
When the time comes, I will We need to call them all to confront each other in court.
During this period, you can move around freely in Chang'an City, but you cannot leave.
Do you understand?"
Luan Tilie was stunned.
This was not the scene he had imagined.
He had heard before that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was very easy to coax.
As long as he behaved obediently and timidly, no matter how big the crime was, the emperor of the Han Dynasty would not care too much.
But this time Why is it different this time?
In fact, this was just a play that Liu Cheng and Liu Bian had discussed long ago.
With Liu Bian's moral character, he would not be able to deal with this kind of matter at all, and he had no idea.
"Yes, yes" In fact, the officials in various places knew about the Huns' pursuit of Qubei very quickly.
However, the imperial court did not issue an order, and the local officials were not easy to deal with.
Once the imperial order came, they did not hesitate again.
In Huayin, dozens of Hun knights who were chasing Qubei were surrounded by the local garrison.
They immediately disarmed them and took them to the local prison and locked them up.
On another day, they sent heavy troops to escort them to Chang'an.
Qubei finally managed to escape to Chang'an without any danger.
He was already several dozen years old.
After this experience, he almost lost his life on the way.
But as soon as Qubei entered Chang'an, he was arrested.
The person in charge of the matter was Li Ru.
He was escorted in front of Li Ru by several soldiers.
"Qubei, do you know who I am?"
Li Ru walked up to Qubei and squatted down and asked.
"My lord," Qubei asked.
He had been a puppet for several years and didn't know much about things in Chang'an at all.
A soldier shouted: "I've blinded you, Mr.
Li Ru, the Great Sima Military Advisor!"
"It turns out to be Master Li.
I want to see Da Sima.
I have something important to report to Da Sima.
I also ask for your recommendation."
Li Ru smiled and said: "I know why you want to see Da Sima, but do you know that envoys have come from Meiji City?
They said that the 10,000 Xiongnu cavalry invaded the border area not long ago was ordered by you and personally led the team.
It has nothing to do with the Xiongnu leaders in Meiji City.”
"False accusation, they are making a false accusation, sir.
I am just a puppet.

How can I have ten thousand cavalry to go to the border?
It was ordered by the old king and the shaman.
The two of them have the power.
They are going to I was pushed out as a scapegoat, so I tried my best to escape and came all the way to Chang'an, just to ask Chang'an to ask His Majesty the Emperor and Grand Sima to make decisions for me
