Xie Ai had just left Liu Yan's rest place not long ago, and soon came back again.
The scale of the palace city is very large, about six or seven out of ten are actually the office areas of imperial officials, and only three or four out of ten belong to Liu Yan's private palace area and Lin Yuan area.
There was no special office for the chamberlain, and their roles and responsibilities determined that the emperor would move his office wherever he frequented.
Xie Ai will come back again, and it is he who returned to the office to be notified that there is a new battle report in the northern Xinjiang.
Shizhong is the only official position that can walk around the palace at will without a token, and he can meet the Son of Heaven anytime and anywhere.
This is something that even the previous prime minister could not do, or if the prime minister dared to do this, the hat of a powerful minister or a rebel minister would be immediately buckled on his head.
"The battle took place seventeen days ago."
Xie Ai stood aside respectfully, his eyes were not fixed on Liu Yan who was holding the concerto, but he lowered his head: "Congratulations to the great Han, congratulations to Your Majesty" This time, the use of troops against the nomadic tribes in northern Xinjiang is not large in terms of scale, but it is the use of two generals at the level of "Zheng", and the first batch of formed firearms troops into battle.
"In this way, there is no Xianbei tribe in the world" Liu Yan finished reading the joint report of Li Tan and Lu Tai, and was not too entangled in the details of the war, and was more interested in other things: "The remnants of Tuoba are on the verge of defection, giving the sincerity of attachment.
The remnants of Murong took the opportunity to attack the rear tribes of the various tribes, and fled to the northwest after looting."
Regarding the matter of Tuoba remnants to be attached to the Han Empire, Liu Yan needed to nod before it could be carried out.
He accepted the attachment of the remnants of Tuoba to some extent for the sake of Tuoba Xiu, but he did not make any promises, and repeatedly made it clear that even if the remnants of Tuoba made contributions, it was only a chance to live.
"Your Majesty, it should be Tuoba Han who revealed it to Murong Ke in private."
Xie Ai didn't use a guessing tone at all, but said firmly: "That's why Murong remnants have made this move." ” In the newspaper, it was written that Murong Ke gave up the family name Xianbei, and even mentioned that Murong gave up his original surname, Liu Yan was actually a little confused at first glance when he saw Murong Ke choosing "Ashina" as the family's new surname.
"Ashina means noble wolf in the grassland language."
Xie Ai must be reminded: "They are thieves who do not die, and they still have wolf ambitions" Liu Yan didn't care too much about what Ashina meant in the grassland language family, the reason why he was stunned for a moment was that he was the only one who knew what the surname "Ashina" really meant.
The Murong clan was changed to the Ashina clan, and Liu Yan fell into contemplation: Could it be that in history, it was really Murong Xianbei who withdrew from the Central Plains and changed from the Murong clan to the Ashina clan, and they staged a comeback with the Turks as their clan name When Li Tan and Lu Tai joined forces, it was the snow season over there.
According to common sense, after the snow begins, it is basically not suitable for military operations, so be conservative and wait for the next spring to bloom, or even wait until the new autumn when the horses and livestock are fattened again.
However, it was not the first time that the Han army continued to use troops in winter, or after Li Tan negotiated with Lu Tai, it was decided that instead of pressing in with the whole corps, it was the cavalry elite who first blitzed the grassland coalition army station, and then used the follow-up infantry cavalry elite to block the enemy's retreat direction.
It was in such a snowy weather, the elite cavalry of the 5,000 Han army launched a very sudden attack on the garrison of the grassland coalition army, and the remnants of Tuoba did not respond immediately after the battle began, and the remnants of Tuoba were instructed by the commander of the Han army to take the lead in escaping.
The remnants of Tuoba took the lead in escaping because they remembered a role, and the morale of the grassland coalition army was one of them, and the second was to let more grassland coalition troops subconsciously run with them.
The grassland coalition army that was suddenly attacked really subconsciously followed the remnants of Tuoba to break through in the same direction, and ran into the Han army that had been waiting for a long time before they ran out of ten miles, and they rebelled under the dumbfounded condition of the rest of the grassland coalition army, and the grassland coalition army, which was already demoralized and full of confusion, collapsed directly.
The Steppe Coalition didn't expect the remnants of Tuoba to do that.
According to the understanding of Yu Jiulu Bati and Ajili, the remnants of Tuoba and the Han Empire are enemies of life and death, and the remnants of Tuoba who were beaten so badly by the Han army should have surrendered a long time ago.
What Rouran Khan and the leader of Donggaoche didn't expect was that the remnants of Murong acted even more ruthlessly, attacking all the tribes they could find after retreating, plundering the population and livestock, and patting their butts to continue looting and annexing along the way to the northwest.
What happened had already happened, and Liu Yan was not surprised that the Northern Expeditionary Army would be victorious.
Now it seems that something unexpected has happened, Murong Ke not only gave up the Xianbei clan name, but even changed the surname.
"Interesting" Liu Yan is not sure if this Ashina is the Ashina: "It is rumored that the place further north is covered with ice and snow all year round.
And what about the Northwest?"
The Central Plains Dynasty has always used a wide range of "grasslands" to understand Saiwai, but in fact, the understanding of "grasslands" is seriously insufficient.
Even the Western Han Dynasty, which once penetrated the grassland to a depth of more than 3,000 miles, was very unparticular when recording the grassland, and often used some specious descriptions, such as "a thousand miles at a glance", "vast and boundless", "extremely desolate" and other adjectives.
Liu Yan's knowledge of the grassland is more than that of today's people, but the amount is relatively limited.
In his impression, the so-called steppes are Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, and further away is Siberia.
The so-called desert south and desert north are because of the relationship between the existence of that desert, which refers to the desert south and the desert north.
The Han scouts repeatedly penetrated deep into the grasslands, discovering that from the front to the north, they needed to trek through a desert to the north, and if they went northwest, they would be blocked by a swamp, and to the east there were dense forests everywhere.
"The remnants of Murong went northwest" Liu Yan recalled, in modern times, it was Siberia, and the appearance was either mountains and forests or swamps: "Is there any indication that they have conducted reconnaissance in advance?"
Xie Ai replied honestly: "The minister will send someone to confirm." ” Liu Yan was silent for a while, mainly thinking about whether it was necessary to send troops to chase and kill.
"Your Majesty, the remnants of Murong are heading northwest."
Xie Ai knew that the northwest was the territory of Xigaoche: "If they behave like that, Xigaoche may not accept it." ” "The speed of messaging is not that fast."
What Liu Yan said is also the truth, when the truth happened a hundred miles away at the beginning of this year, if it was not for someone to spy on it in advance, it might take three or four months to come to it.
He hypothesized: "Even if the remnants of Murong have already found a route through the swamp, and when the news reaches Xigaoche, what should they do, I'm afraid it's done." ” Liu Yan is now wondering a little, those nomads were defeated in the east, why each of them chose to migrate westward, the previous Xiongnu was like this, and now Murong Xianbei is also doing the same.
Xie Ai understood from Liu Yan's title.
Since Liu Yan continued to call the remnants of Murong, it indicated that he had no intention of letting them go at all.
He should have revealed this matter to Zhongshu Province, so that Zhongshu Province could start planning the follow-up of the pursuit.
Changing a name means that everything that happened before is in the past, if Murong Ke wants to express such a meaning, he is either very stupid and naïve, or he doesn't understand Zhuxia's culture at all.

No, it can't be called Murong Ke now, it should be called Ashina Ke, or Ke Ashina.
Liu Yan thought about it after Xie Ai left, and set up the harem concubine.
Tuoba Xiu was not mentally prepared for Liu Yan's sudden coming, and led Liu Yan into the palace after greeting him.
She prepared the tea set and tea leaves by herself, and did not ask Liu Yan what she was here for.
Liu Yan sat down, didn't sit for a while, and then changed to half lying, quietly watching Tuoba Xiu busy.
This palace is in the northern part of the palace harem, and there is a river that serves as the dividing line between the harem and the rest of the palace city.
Looking out from the building, you can see a city wall three miles away, and that side is actually one of the many corridors in the palace.
Under the snowy weather, the guards on duty in Miyagi are dressed in snow and stand quietly outside, if they are assigned to work on the city wall, it is indispensable to drink some hot soup after work to keep warm.
Liu Yan's eyes have always been very good, although he is far away, and there are snowflakes in the middle to obstruct his vision, he can still see the vague silhouette of the guard standing on the city wall holding a halberd in his hand.
"Your Majesty."
Tuoba Xiu handed over the teacup in his hand and said, "The spring water is boiled three times, and the tea can be brewed to show the best flavor."
Tea is His Majesty's favorite big red robe. ” Liu Yan was in a trance.
The tea comes from Piyang County, Luling County, in the extreme south, and is produced in a mountain range, Wuyi Mountain, but whether it is a big red robe in later generations needs to be a question mark.
"Your Majesty has something on your mind" Tuoba Xiu asked casually, and sat next to Liu Yan, just because he didn't want to get an answer, and said to himself: "Yin'er and Fu'er are playing outside, but let them come over" Liu Yin is the eldest daughter of Liu Yan, and she is also the eldest daughter of the emperor of the Han Empire, born to Tuoba Xiu.
Liu Fu is Liu Yan's fourth daughter, and her biological mother is Sang Miao.
They are now eleven years old and nine years old.
"Hmm."
Liu Yan has always been more casual when he comes to Tuoba Xiu, and he can come as easily as he wants.
He asked curiously, "The concubine was here just now" "It was Huang Cui who brought Fu'er to play with Yin'er."
Tuoba Xiu said that Huang Cui is one of Sang Miao's female officials.
She instructed the palace maid next to her, poured Liu Yan a cup of tea again, and said with a smile: "They are quite compatible." ” Liu Yan now has as many as 31 children, the eldest is the eleven-year-old eldest daughter Liu Yin, and the youngest is the daughter who was just born three months ago.
The biological mother of the youngest empress was Parsalizoa, who was originally a Zoroastrian saint and was dedicated to Liu Yan in the eleventh year of Yuan Shuo.
More than ten years have passed, but there are only thirty-one children, it can be said that Liu Yan's mind in the early years was focused on the national war, and it is difficult to have such an achievement from the eight years of Yuan Shuo, and the country is getting more and more on the right track.
More than half of the thirty-one children were born after the ninth year of Yuan Shuo, which shows that once the ruler is relatively idle, he will inevitably be close to women.
It didn't take long for the two royal ladies to come over under the guidance of their respective palace maids.
When they came over and saw Liu Yan, they immediately showed a surprised expression, and saluted decently: "Father." ” Liu Yan stared at the past, and his face did not deliberately show any calf licking, but he looked at his daughter who wanted to get close but didn't dare to get close.
When Liu Yin was very young, Liu Yan hurt her the most.
It was a kind of first-time father who treated only his first child.
Waiting for Liu Yin to grow up, Liu Yan is also getting busier and busier, and gradually the time for contact becomes less.
"Come here."
Tuoba Xiu beckoned: "You two keep talking about wanting to see your father on weekdays, but today you are gone." ” With Tuoba Xiu's encouragement, the two little girls mustered up the courage to approach.
"What were you playing just now" Liu Yan smiled on his face, and pulled the two girls to his side one by one: "There are snowflakes on my body, I ran outside" Almost as soon as Liu Yan's words fell, the palace maids who came in with the princess all knelt on the ground, and those who were too timid even trembled.
In snowy weather, if the princess is infected with wind and cold outside, even if the palace maids who serve them are not sunk, they will inevitably be sent to the court.
"Father, I taught my sister how to build a snowman."
Liu Yin first spoke in a low voice, thinking of something funny and slowly amplified her voice: "It's fun." ” Tuoba Xiu just waved his hand to let the kneeling palace maid withdraw.
The two princesses went out to build a snowman outside, which was something that Tuoba Xiu agreed.
In her opinion, children should be wilder, and being careful in everything will raise a group of pampered and weak children.
Liu Yan wants to say that it is impossible to get along with flesh and blood without warmth, but he usually does not show anything, not only as a father's reserve, but also out of protection of his children.
It may be ridiculous to say, but the reality is often so ridiculous, once Liu Yan shows more doting on a certain child, there will definitely be a lot of messy people around that child, and if something happens, it is generally those who get up to make it.
In the royal family, it is one thing to dote on the princess, but showing a different love for the prince other than the crown prince will inevitably cause trouble.
Liu Yan took the name of the country as "Han", and he was worried more than once about whether it would be like the two Han Dynasty, such as the eldest princess doing politics or something, so he should be even more cautious.
"Your Majesty, Mother.
Concubines, noble concubines, and virtuous concubines came to the outside of the palace with all the princes and princesses. ” When Liu Yan heard this, he left and looked at Tuoba Xiu.
Tuoba Xiu also subconsciously looked at Liu Yan.
At that moment, Liu Yan was frowning, he felt that those girls were too deliberate.

Tuoba Xiu couldn't cry or laugh, and his heart was more or less proud, who let Liu Yan go to the harem, and chose to relax to her:
