Chapter 214 After Unification
Lin Ke continued, "And the Xiongnu leader, Chanyu, also could not escape this natural disaster. His eldest son, who had just succeeded to the throne of Chanyu, also died along with his father."
"After that, it was basically just internal communication among the Xiongnu [brotherly love and respect], and eventually it split into two tribes, the southern one was pro-Han, and the northern one would harass and negotiate from time to time, but overall there was no major aggression."
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! This is infighting!
"On another note, in December of 40 AD, Liu Xiu ordered Lu Fang to meet him in January of the following year. However, after Lu Fang set off and arrived in Changping, Liu Xiu changed the time and asked him to come to court the following year."
"But Lu Fang was a man of excessive thinking and suspicion. After returning from Changping, he became even more suspicious and fearful of Liu Xiu's actions. So he rebelled against Liu Xiu again, defected to the Xiongnu, and fought with Min Kan and Min Lin for several months!"
"Even after Lu Fang finally persuaded the Xiongnu to bring his wife and children to the border, eliminating all his worries, he himself stayed in the Xiongnu region and died more than ten years later."
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty: To be honest, Lu Fang doesn't seem very bright!
A scion of a prominent family in the Song Dynasty: He was already resentful, wasn't he? Now he's feeling guilty!
A spoiled young man from the Tang Dynasty: This whole family moved to the Xiongnu. This descendant of the Liu family doesn't seem like his family at all!
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty: Hahaha, everyone knows that His Majesty the Pig has always dealt a heavy blow to the Xiongnu!
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: ...-_-
People from all over the world were puzzled when they heard this. So, Lu Fang took a half-day off, ran away to the Xiongnu, and lived peacefully for more than ten years! ? ?
So what was he after when he opposed Liu Xiu?
……
The live broadcast continues.
"During Liu Xiu's reign, besides dealing with the Xiongnu, there was also the Western Regions. It had been over a hundred years since Emperor Xuan of Han established the Protectorate of the Western Regions before Liu Xiu came to power."
"But the Xiongnu took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to occupy the Western Regions and oppressed the local people!"
"Nevertheless, among the kingdoms of the Western Regions, there was still a small kingdom—Shache—that was pro-Han. When the Xiongnu invaded the kingdoms of the Western Regions and asked to submit to them, King Yanmu and others of Shache refused and subsequently led their generals to resist the Xiongnu."
"Then in 33 AD, Yanmu, the leader of Shache Kingdom, died, and his son Kang succeeded him. Kang died later, and his brother Xian succeeded him. This family was basically inclined to the Han Dynasty."
"Therefore, Xian conquered two small kingdoms in the Western Regions in succession, killed the two kings, and then made his elder brother's two sons kings of the two kingdoms."
"Shortly afterward, another envoy was sent to see Liu Xiu, expressing our willingness to follow you and hoping that Your Majesty could re-establish the Protectorate and unite the kingdoms of the Western Regions to jointly resist the Xiongnu..."
"However, at this time, Liu Xiu's main focus was probably on Longxi and Shu, and he refused Xian's request."
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: ! ? ? !
A farming expert from the Song Dynasty: This family is amazing! The Xiongnu are quite adept at causing trouble too!
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty commented: "They're either attacking Longxi or conquering Shu, with the Xiongnu in between. Liu Xiu's troops are quite busy!"
A romantic scholar from the Tang Dynasty: That's why people usually don't have much money after establishing a country during times of chaos!
