Chapter 966

Xie aigang just left Liu Yan's rest place and soon came back.

The palace city is very large. About 67 / 10 is actually the office area of imperial officials, and only 34 / 10 belongs to Liu Yan's private palace and Linyuan district.

There is no special office for the servants. Their role and scope of responsibility determine where the emperor often goes, and the office will move there.

Xie AI will come back again. He returned to the office and was informed that there was a new war report in Northern Xinjiang.

The servant is the only official who can walk around the palace without a token. He can also see the emperor anytime and anywhere. This is something that even the previous prime minister can't do, or if the prime minister dares to do so, a powerful minister or rebellious minister's hat will be immediately buttoned on his head.

"The war happened 17 days ago." Xie AI respectfully stood aside, his eyes did not stare at Liu Yan holding the memorial, but lowered his head: "I congratulate the Great Han and his majesty!"

This time, the use of troops for the nomadic tribes in Northern Xinjiang was not large in terms of scale, but two generals at the "Zheng" level were used, and the first batch of formed firearms units were put into operation. When the news was returned, Liu Yan, as the emperor, should have a look at it at the first time.

"So there is no Xianbei tribe in the world?" After reading the memorial jointly signed by Li Tan and LV Tai, Liu Yan was not too entangled in the details of the war. He was more interested in other things: "the remnant of Tuoba defected and gave his sincerity to surrender. The remnant of Murong took the opportunity to attack the rear tribes of various tribes and fled to the Northwest after looting?"

Liu Yan needs to nod his head about the matter that the remnant of Tuoba should belong to the Han Empire. He accepted the attachment of the remnant of Tuoba for the sake of Tuoba show, but he didn't make any promises. He repeatedly made it clear that even if the remnant of Tuoba made contributions, it was only a chance to live.

"Your Majesty, it should be Tuoba Han who disclosed it to Murong Ke in private." Xie AI didn't guess at all, but said firmly, "only this move of Murong remnant."

In the memorial, it was written that the remnant of Murong gave up the family name Xianbei, and even mentioned that Murong gave up his original surname. Liu Yan was confused when he saw that Murong Ke chose "ASHNA" as the new surname of the family.

"ASHNA means noble wolf in grassland language." Xie AI must remind: "they are thieves and still have wolf ambition!"

Liu Yan doesn't care too much about what ahsna means in the grassland language family. The reason why he was so confused is that he is the only one who knows what the surname "ahsna" really means.

[Murong family changed to ASHNA family?] Liu Yan was lost in thought: [did Murong Xianbei really withdraw from the Central Plains and change from Murong family to ASHNA family in history? They made a comeback with Turks as their family name?]

When Li Tan and LV Tai joined forces, it was snowing season.

According to common sense, it is basically not suitable to carry out military operations after the snow begins. Be conservative and wait for the warm flowers in the coming spring, or even until the horses fatten up and livestock fatten up in the new year and autumn.

It was not the first time that the Han army continued to use troops in winter, but after consultation between Li Tan and LV Tai, Li Tan decided not to press the whole corps, but to use the elite cavalry to flash into the joint army station on the grassland first, and then use the follow-up elite infantry to block the enemy's retreat direction.

It was in such a snowy weather that five thousand elite cavalry of the Han army launched a very sudden attack on the garrison of the grassland coalition army. After the battle started, the remnant of Tuoba didn't respond immediately. The remnant of Tuoba was the first to make a flight under the instruction of the commander of the Han army.

The remnant of Tuoba took the lead in running away because it thought of a role. One of them was to attack the morale of the grassland coalition army. The other was to let more grassland coalition army subconsciously follow him.

The grassland allied forces that were suddenly attacked unexpectedly broke through in the same direction with the remnant of Tuoba, and ran into the Han Army that had been waiting for a long time before they ran out ten miles. They turned against the enemy under the foolish eyes of the other grassland allied forces. The morale was low and the confused Caoyuan allied forces collapsed directly.

The grassland coalition never thought that the remnant of Tuoba would do that.

According to the understanding of Yu jiulu Bati and ah Fuli, the remnant of Tuoba and the Han Empire are enemies of life and death. The remnant of Tuoba who was beaten so badly by the Han army should have surrendered long ago. This time, the remnant of Tuoba was chased and ran away again. To meet them is to fight hard with the Han army.

What Rouran Khan and the leader of donggaoche did not expect was that the remnant of Murong acted more ruthlessly. It turned out that after retreating, they attacked all the tribes they could find, looted the population and livestock, patted their hips and continued to loot and annex along the way to the northwest.

What had happened had happened. Liu Yan was not surprised that the northern expedition would win.

Now something unexpected seems to have happened? Murong Ke not only gave up Xianbei's family name, but also changed his surname.

"Interesting..." Liu Yan is not sure whether this a Shi Na is that a Shi Na: "it is said that the place farther north is covered with ice and snow all the year round. What about the northwest?"

The Central Plains Dynasty has always used a wide range of "Grassland" to understand the Great Wall. In fact, it has a serious lack of understanding of "Grassland".

Even in the Western Han Dynasty, which had reached a depth of more than 3000 miles into the grassland, it was not particular when recording the grassland. Some specious descriptions were often used, such as "looking at thousands of miles", "boundless expanse", "extremely desolate" and so on.

Liu Yan knows more about the grassland than people now, but his knowledge is limited. In his impression, the so-called grassland is Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, and then as far as Siberia. Because he didn't go deeper in person, he needs to send someone to explore if he wants to know more.

The so-called Monan and Mobei refer to the South and north of the desert because of the existence of the desert.

The Scouts of the Han army went deep into the grassland again and again. They found that Mobei needed to trek 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 all over the East.

"Murong remnant headed northwest?" Liu Yan recalled that in modern times, it is Siberia, and its appearance is either mountain forest or swamp: "is there any sign that they have conducted investigation in advance?"

Xie AI answered honestly, "I will send someone to confirm."

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

"Your Majesty, the remnant of Murong is heading northwest." Xie AI knows that the northwest is the territory of Xigao car: "I'm afraid Xigao car won't accept their behavior like that."

"The speed of message delivery is not that fast." What Liu Yan said is also true. If the hair was born a hundred miles away this year, it might take three or four months to spread without leaving hands to spy in advance. He hypothesized: "the Murong remnant has long found a route through the swamp. When the news reaches xigaoche, I'm afraid they have finished what they should do."

Liu Yan is now wondering why each of those nomadic nationalities chose to migrate westward when they were defeated in the East? In the past, the Xiongnu did the same, and now Murong Xianbei does the same.

Xie AI understood from Liu Yan's name. Since Liu Yan continues to call Murong remnant, it indicates that he doesn't intend to let them go at all. He should disclose this matter to the Chinese Library province and let the Chinese Library province start planning the follow-up of the pursuit.

Changing a name means that everything that happened before has become the past? If Murong Ke wanted to express this meaning, he was either stupid and naive, or he didn't understand Zhuxia culture at all.

No, it can't be murongke now. It should be ASHNA Scrupulous, or scrupulous Ashner.

After Xie AI left, Liu Yan thought about it and drove to the imperial concubine of the back palace.

Tuobaxiu had no psychological preparation for Liu Yan's sudden arrival. After welcoming him, he led Liu Yan into the palace. She personally prepared tea sets and tea leaves, and didn't ask Liu Yan what he was doing.

Liu Yan sat down, didn't sit for a little while, but instead half lay down, quietly watching Tuoba show busy.

This palace que is in the north of the rear palace. There is a river as the dividing line between the rear palace and the rest of the palace city.

Looking out from the balcony, you can see the wall three miles away, which is actually one of the walls of many corridors in the palace city.

In the snowy weather, the guards on duty in the palace city are standing quietly outdoors in snow. If they are assigned to be on duty above the city wall, they have to drink some hot soup to keep warm after work.

Liu Yan's eyes have always been very good. Although they are far away, and there are snowflakes in the middle to hinder his sight, he can still see the vague outline of standing on the city wall with a long halberd in his hand.

"Your Majesty." Tuobaxiu handed out the cup in his hand and said, "the spring water boils for three times. Making tea is the most delicious. Tea is your Majesty's favorite Dahongpao."

Liu Yan was in a trance.

Tea comes from Poyang County, Luling County in the extreme south. It is produced from a mountain range (Wuyi Mountain). However, whether it is Dahongpao of later generations needs a question mark.

"Your Majesty has something on his mind?" Tuoba Xiu asked casually and sat beside Liu Yan. Just because he didn't want to get the answer, he said to himself, "yin'er and fu'er are playing outside, but we want them to come over?"

Liu Yin is Liu Yan's eldest daughter and also the eldest daughter of the emperor of the Han Empire. She was born by tuobaxiu.

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

They are now eleven and nine.

"Yes." Liu Yan has always been quite casual when he comes to tuobaxiu. He can come as easily as he can. He asked curiously, "did the imperial concubine come just now?"

"Huang Cui brought fu'er to play with yin'er." Huang Cui mentioned by tuobaxiu is one of Sang Miao's female officials. She gave an order to the maid next to her, poured Liu Yan a cup of tea again, smiled and said, "they get along very well."

Liu Yan now has as many as 31 children, the largest is the 11-year-old eldest daughter of the emperor Liu Yin, and the youngest is the daughter just born three months ago.

The youngest Royal daughter's biological mother is pars Arizoa, originally a Zoroastrian saint, was dedicated to Liu Yan in the 11th year of Yuanshuo.

More than a decade later, there were only 31 children. It can be said that Liu Yan's mind was focused on the national war in the early years. It was difficult to enlist in person eight years after Yuanshuo, and the country was getting more and more on the right track.

More than half of the 31 children were born after the ninth year of Yuan Shuo. It can be seen that once the rulers are relatively idle, they will inevitably be close to women.

Before long, the two royal daughters came under the guidance of their palace maids.

They came to see Liu Yanli's surprised expression, saluted politely and said, "father."

Liu Yan looked at the past. He didn't deliberately lick the calf on his face. He just calmly looked at his daughter who wanted to be close and didn't dare.

When Liu Yin was very young, Liu Yan loved her most. It is a special feeling for a new father to treat his first child.

Waiting for Liu Yin to grow up, Liu Yan is getting busier and busier, and gradually the time to contact becomes less.

"Come here." Tuoba Xiu started: "you two keep talking about wanting to see your father, but you don't see him today."

With the encouragement of Tuoba show, the two little girls summoned up the courage to approach.

"What were you playing just now?" With a smile on his face, Liu Yan pulled the two girls to his side one by one: "there are snowflakes on his body. Did he run outside?"

Almost as soon as Liu Yan's voice fell, the palace maids who came in with the Royal daughter all buried their heads and knelt down. They were too timid and even trembled all over.

In snowy weather, if the Royal daughter is exposed to the cold outside, even if the maid serving them is not sunk in the well, she must be sent to yeting.

"Father, I taught my sister to make a snowman." Liu Yin first whispered and thought of something fun. She slowly amplified her voice: "it's fun."

Tuobaxiu just waved the kneeling maid out.

The two royal daughters went out to make a snowman, which was agreed by Tuoba Xiu. In her opinion, children should be wild. Being careful in everything will bring up a group of spoiled and weak children.

Liu Yan wants to say that it is impossible to get along with his flesh and blood without warmth, but he usually doesn't show anything. He is not only reserved as a father, but also out of protecting his children.

It may be absurd to say, but the reality is often so absurd. Once Liu Yan shows more doting on a child, there will definitely be a large group of messy people around the child. In case of an accident, it is generally the people who get together.

In the royal family, it is one thing to spoil the Royal daughter. If you show different love for the prince except the crown prince, it will inevitably cause trouble.

Liu Yan took the country name as "Han". He worried more than once about whether it would be like the Han Dynasty, such as the long Princess doing politics, so he should be more cautious.

"Your Majesty, empress. Imperial concubines, noble concubines and virtuous concubines came outside the hall with their princes and daughters."

Liu Yan left and looked at Tuoba Xiu.

Tuobaxiu also looked at Liu Yan subconsciously.

At that moment, Liu Yan was frowning. He thought those women were too deliberate.

Tuobaxiu was unable to laugh or cry, but she was more or less proud in her heart. Who let Liu Yan go to the harem and choose to relax is to come to her?
