Sweep the World

It didn't take long for Xie Ai to leave Liu Yan's resting place, and soon came back again.

The scale of Miyagi is very large. About sixty-seven out of ten are actually the office areas of imperial officials, and only three to four out of ten belong to Liu Yan's private palace area and Linyuan area.

The servants did not have a special office for work. Their role positioning and scope of responsibility determine where the emperor often goes, and the office will move there.

Xie Ai will come back again. It was when he returned to the office to be notified that a new battle report came from Beijiang.

Attendant is the only official position that can walk around Miyagi at will without a token, and he can see the emperor 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 rebellious minister was immediately put on his head.

"The war happened 17 days ago." Xie Ai respectfully stood aside, not focusing on Liu Yan, who was holding the memorial, but lowered his head: "The minister congratulates the great man, and congratulates your majesty!"

This time, the use of troops for the nomadic tribes of northern Xinjiang was not large in terms of scale, but it used two generals with the character "Zheng", and the first batch of formed firearms troops were put into battle. As the emperor, Liu Yan When news is sent back, you should check it out for the first time.

"So, there is no Xianbei tribe in the world?" Liu Yan finished reading the joint memorial by Li Tan and Lu Tai, not too entangled in the details of the war, and was more interested in other things: "The remnant of Tuoba turned to war. Show the sincerity of attachment. The Murong remnant picked up the plane and attacked the rear tribes of the tribes and fled to the northwest after plundering?"

Regarding the matter of Tuoba's remnant's annexation to the Han Empire, Liu Yan nodded his head. He somewhat saw Tuoba Xiu’s love for accepting the Tuoba Remnant’s attachment, but he didn’t make any promises. He repeatedly pointed out that even the Tuoba Remnant’s contribution was only a chance to survive.

"Your Majesty, it should be Tuobahan who disclosed it to Murong Ke privately." Xie Ai didn't use a guessing tone at all, but said confidently: "That's what Murong remnant did."

In the newspaper, it was written that Murong's remnant gave up the family name of Xianbei, and even mentioned that Murong gave up his original surname. Liu Yan's first glance when he saw Murong Ke's choice of "Ashina" as the family's new surname was actually Somewhat dazed.

"Ashna means a noble wolf in the prairie language." Xie Ai must remind: "They are unscrupulous and still have wolf ambitions!"

Liu Yan didn't care too much about what Ashina meant in the Prairie language family. The reason why he was so confused was that he was the only one who knew what the surname "Asina" really meant.

[Murong's changed to Ashina's? 】 Liu Yan fell into deep thought: 【Is it true that Murong Xianbei withdrew from the Central Plains in history and changed from Murong clan to Ashina clan? They made a comeback under the name Turkic people? 】

When Li Tan and Lu Tai joined forces, it was the snowing season over there.

According to common sense, it is basically not suitable to launch military operations after it starts to snow. Be conservative and wait for the flowers to bloom in the coming spring, or even wait until the horses and livestock are fattened up in the new year and autumn.

However, it was not the first time that the Han army continued to use troops in winter. It was after Li Tan negotiated with Lu Tai that it was decided not for the entire regiment to press in, but for the elite cavalry to attack the Allied troops in the grassland first, and then use the follow-up elite cavalry to block the enemy's retreat. Style of play.

It was in such a heavy snowy weather that the five thousand elite cavalrymen of the Han army launched a sudden attack on the garrison of the Allied Forces. After the battle started, the Tuoba Remnant did not respond immediately. The Tuoba Remnant was instructed by the Han army commander. Be the first to make the move to escape.

The Tuoba remnant took the lead in fleeing in order to play a role. The morale of the grassland coalition forces was one of them, and the second was to let more grassland coalition forces run with them subconsciously.

The grassland coalition forces that were suddenly attacked really subconsciously followed the Tuoba remnant to break through in the same direction. They ran into the Han army that had been waiting for ten miles before they ran into the army. They rebelled against the other grassland coalition forces dumbfounded, and they were morale. The downturn and dazed grassland coalition forces collapsed directly.

The grassland coalition forces never thought that the Tuoba Remnant would do that much.

According to the understanding of Yu Jiulubati and Afuliju, the Tuoba Remnant and the Han Empire are enemies of life and death. The Tuoba Remnant who was beaten so badly by the Han army should have surrendered long ago. This time the Tuoba Remnant is once again. Being chased and killed, and running away, coming to meet them is to fight the Han army desperately.

What Rouran Khan and the leader of Donggao Che did not expect was that the Murong Remnant’s behavior was even more ruthless. It turned out to be attacking all the tribes that could be found after retreating, looting the population and livestock, patted buttocks towards the northwest and continued to looting and looting along the way. Annex.

What had happened had already happened, and Liu Yan was not surprised by the victory of the Northern Expedition.

Now it seems that something unexpected has happened? Murong Ke not only gave up Xianbei's clan name, but even changed his surname.

"Interesting..." Liu Yan is not sure if this Ashina is the other Ashina: "It is rumored that the place farther north is covered in snow and ice all year round. What about the northwest?"

The Central Plains Dynasty has always used a wide range of "grassland" to understand beyond the Great Wall. In fact, the understanding of "grassland" is seriously insufficient.

Even in the Western Han Dynasty, which once entered the grassland with a depth of more than 3,000 miles, it was not very particular when recording the grassland, and some specious descriptions were often used, such as "a thousand miles of sight", "extensiveness", "extremely desolate" and so on. adjective.

Liu Yan's knowledge of grassland is more than that of the current people, but there are more and more limited. In his impression, the so-called grasslands are Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, and farther away is Siberia. Since he didn't go deeper in person, he needed to send someone to explore if he wanted to know more.

The so-called Monan and Mobei are because of the existence of the desert, and they refer to the south and north of the desert.

The Han army scouts repeatedly went deep into the grassland and found out that Mobei had to travel through a desert from the front to the north. If they went northwest, they would be blocked by a swamp, and there were dense forests everywhere to the east.

"The Murong remnant headed northwest?" Liu Yan recalled that in modern times it is Siberia, and its face is either a forest or a swamp: "Is there any indication that they had conducted investigations in advance?"

Xie Ai answered honestly: "The minister will send someone to confirm."

Liu Yan was silent for a while, mainly thinking about whether it is necessary to send troops to hunt down.

"Your Majesty, the remnant Murong heads to the northwest." Xie Ai knew that the northwest side was the site of Xigao Che: "I am afraid Xigao Che will not accept them if they act like that."

"The speed of information transmission is not so fast." Liu Yan said that it is true. When the facts that happened a hundred miles away earlier this year, if they hadn't been left to spy on them in advance, it might take three or four months to reach them. He assumed: "It is the Murong remnant who has found a route through the swamp a long time ago. When the news reaches Xigaoche, what they should do is probably done."

Liu Yan is now wondering a little bit. Why did all the nomads choose to migrate west when they were defeated in the East? The Huns used to be like this, but now Murong Xianbei does the same.

Xie Ai understood Liu Yan's name. Since Liu Yan continued to call Murong Remnants, it indicated that he had no intention of letting them go. He should disclose this matter to the Ministry of Education, and let the Ministry of Science and Technology set out to plan the follow-up of the pursuit.

Changing a name means that all the things that happened before become the past? If Murong Ke wanted to express this kind of meaning, he was either very stupid and naive, or else he didn't understand Zhu Xia's culture at all.

No, it can't be called Murong Ke now, it should be called Ashina Ke or Ke Ashina.

After Xie Ai left, Liu Yan thought for a while, and put him in the harem.

Tuoba Xiu was not mentally prepared for Liu Yan's sudden coming, and after welcoming him, he led Liu Yan into the palace. She personally prepared tea sets and tea leaves, but did not ask Liu Yan what she was here for.

Liu Yan sat down, did not sit for a while and changed to half-lying, quietly watching Tuoba Xiu busy.

This palace is in the northern part of the palace, and there is a river as the dividing line between the palace and the rest of the palace.

Looking out from the platform, one can see the wall three miles away as far as possible, and that side is actually one of the many corridors in Miyagi.

Under the snowy weather, the guard on duty in Miyagi stood quietly outside wearing white snow. If assigned to duty on the city wall, it would be necessary to quickly drink some hot soup to keep warm after get off work.

Liu Yan's eyes are always very good. Although he is far away and there are snowflakes blocking his vision, he can still see the vague outline of the guard standing on the city wall holding a halberd.

"Your Majesty." Tuoba Xiu handed out the tea cup in his hand, and said: "The spring water has been boiled for three times, making tea the most flavorful. Tea is your Majesty's favorite Dahongpao."

Liu Yan was in a daze.

The tea comes from Piyang County, Luling County in the extreme south. It is produced in a mountain range (Wuyi Mountain), but whether it is Dahongpao for later generations requires 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, he went down and said: "Yin'er and Fu'er are playing outside, but Want them to come over?"

Liu Yin is Liu Yan's eldest daughter, and also the eldest daughter of the Han Empire, born to Tuoba Xiu.

Liu Fu is Liu Yan's fourth daughter, and his biological mother is Sang Miao.

They are eleven and nine now.

"Yeah." Liu Yan has always been more casual when he comes to Tuoba Xiu, and he can do whatever he wants. He asked curiously: "The concubine was here just now?"

"It was Huang Cui who brought Fu'er to find Yin'er to play." Tuoba Xiu said Huang Cui was one of Sangmiao's female officials. She told the maid next to her to pour a cup of tea for Liu Yan again, and said with a smile: "They get along well."

Liu Yan now has as many as 31 children, the oldest is the eleven-year-old eldest daughter Liu Yin, and the youngest is a daughter who was born just three months ago.

The biological mother of the youngest emperor was Pals Arizoa. She was originally a Zoroastrian saint who was dedicated to Liu Yan in the eleventh year of Yuanshuo.

More than ten years have passed, but there are only 31 children. It can be said that Liu Yan's thoughts in the early years have been focused on the national war. It is difficult to personally recruit from Yuanshuo eight years later. The more the country is Coming more and more on the right track.

More than half of the thirty-one children were born nine years after Yuanshuo. It can be seen that once the ruler is relatively idle, it will inevitably be close to women.

It didn't take long for the two emperors to come over under the guidance of their respective court ladies.

When they came over to see Liu Yan, they immediately showed a surprised expression, saluting decently: "Father."

Liu Yan stared at the past, without deliberately showing any licking emotion on his face, he just looked calmly at his daughter who wanted to approach but didn't dare to approach.

When Liu Yin was very young, Liu Yan loved her the most. That is a kind of feelings that are unique to being a father and treating only the 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 gestured, "You two keep talking about wanting to see the emperor father, but you don't see it today."

With Tuobaxiu'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: "I have snowflakes on my body, so I ran outside?"

It was almost as soon as Liu Yan's voice fell, that all the court ladies who came in with the emperor buried their heads on the ground, too timid and even trembling all over.

In snowy weather, if the emperor's golden branches and leaves are caught in the wind and cold outside, the maids who serve them will be sent to Yeting even if they are not sunk well.

"Father, I teach my sister to make a snowman." Liu Yin first whispered, thinking of something fun and slowly amplifying her voice: "It's fun."

Tuoba Xiu just waved her hand to let the kneeling court lady withdraw.

Tuoba Xiu agreed to the two princes going out to make snowmen outdoors. In her opinion, children should be wild, and care will bring out a bunch of spoiled children with weak kidneys.

Liu Yan wants to say that it’s impossible to get along with flesh and blood without tenderness, but he usually doesn’t show much, not only because of his reservedness as a father, but also because of the protection of his children~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It may be ridiculous to say, but the reality is often so ridiculous. Once Liu Yan shows more doting to a child, that child will definitely be surrounded by a bunch of messy people, and it's usually those who get in trouble. People make it out.

In the royal family, it is one thing to dote on the emperor, and showing a different affection to the princes other than the prince will inevitably cause Xiao Qiang.

Liu Yan chose the name of the country as "Han", and more than once worried about whether it would be like the Han Dynasty. For example, the eldest princess would do politics or something, so he had to be more cautious.

"Your Majesty, Empress. Concubine Shu, Concubine, Concubine and Concubine Bring the princes and princes to the outside of the palace."

Liu Yan looked at Tuobaxiu as soon as he left.

Tuobaxiu also subconsciously looked at Liu Yan.

At that moment Liu Yan was frowning, he felt that those girls were too deliberate.

Tuobaxiu was dumbfounded, but she was more or less proud in her heart. If Liu Yan came to the harem, she would choose to relax?
