"Vul~"

As far as the eye can see, the yellowing weeds are littered with corpses, and vultures hover in the blue sky, waiting for the Xianbei soldiers to depart, and then feast on their food.

As the sun sets, the red sunset on the horizon reflects the blood red of the earth. The Xianbei cavalry was mending the corpses of the Han soldiers to prevent someone from pretending to be dead and fooling them out.

"Da Danyu, don't you pursue? The remnants of the Han army who fled south have no combat effectiveness. Eastern Xianbei Lord Murong Feng asked cautiously to Xianbei Shan Yu Tanshi Huai.

Tan Shihuai shook his head slightly, and replied lightly: "The south is the hinterland of the Han Court, and we have been fighting hard for several months, so it is not appropriate to go deep alone, so as not to be surrounded." ”

Since his youth, Tanshi Huai has been on the battlefield for a long time, unified Xianbei, attacked Wuhuan and Fuyu in the east, invaded Hanting and Southern Xiongnu in the south, chased Wusun and Northern Xiongnu in the west, and resisted Ding Ling and Jiankun in the north, and fought countless battles of all sizes.

Ten years ago, Kou Han and Emperor Huan of Han begged for peace, but Tanshi Huai flatly refused, not taking the huge empire in the south into account.

A year ago, Kou Han again made the current Han Emperor Liu Hong unbearable.

After hesitating for a year, Liu Hong, who had scraped together enough military funds, sent the troops to the three-way plan to completely eliminate Xianbei once and for all.

Unexpectedly, Tanshihuai advanced in three ways, and the Han army was almost wiped out, and only a small number of remnants fled south.

Since the summer, the war has begun, and now it is autumn and winter.

In the distance, a Han soldier of several hundred men was marching southward in a hurry.

Tens of thousands of Han iron horsemen are now almost wiped out, and they have already anticipated their fate.

The emperor would not forgive them, and the people would look down on them as a defeated army and a waste of money.

"Although we have been defeated, the news must be reported to the court. Depression spread among the soldiers, and no one was willing to take up the task of returning to the state as soon as possible to report the news of the fiasco.

After being silent for a long time, a middle-aged man with a broken arm and covered in blood gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go!"

His comrades-in-arms bowed their heads in shame and sent him words of blessing, but in the end, no one stood up to help him.

Since most of the horses were captured by Xianbei when they fled south, there are more than a dozen horses in this remnant's life.

"Whew~"

"Driving~"

Exhaling vigorously, the severed-arm soldier struck a smile on his face as he drove his horse south in a hurry.

"Don't worry, it's on me. The soldier with the broken arm solemnly promised his comrades.

"Can you do it?" and looked at the scribe in front of him, a little unconvinced.

This morning, a knight claimed to be the defeated army of Sunset Plains, and returned from his horse overnight to report the military situation.

The main force of the three-way Han army on the front line was almost wiped out!

Hiss~

When he heard the news at that time, he was incredulous at first, and then urgently summoned his other driver to ask him how to report this matter to the emperor in order to benefit him.

After all, in the battle against Xianbei, the Prefecture Assassin History Department also had to contribute. Now, the front-line soldiers are defeated, and part of the responsibility will naturally be shared among the states.

Subsequently, he wrote in the copy of the proclamation:

Xianbei is rampant, and the border people are not disturbed by it, so the Holy Son of Heaven asks for it, and the three generals are defeated, and all the ministers fail to dissuade them, so that the grain and straw in the state are all owned by the Hu people.

This is very clear, the national policy of fighting Xianbei is absolutely correct, and we resolutely support His Majesty's national policy of fighting Xianbei. But the defeat was all caused by the incompetence of the front-line generals, and I had at most one fault for not dissuading the front-line generals from underestimating the enemy, and I had tried my best to mobilize grain and grass to help. Now that the grain and grass of the defeated army have been captured by the Xianbei people, and the loss of my annexation of the state is also very large, I hope that the imperial court can subsidize the annexation of the state.

However, he was not the only one who played to the court.

The three generals who went to Xianbei also wrote and spoke in a unified voice: We did our best in this battle, but it was because of the lack of food and grass that the soldiers could not even eat, so we were defeated.

The three generals did not say why the grain and grass would be scarce, but the emperor naturally thought about the history of the Bingzhou Thorn who allocated the grain.

A cold wind blew, the candle flame flickered, and the Bingzhou Thorn Shi, who felt the cold, couldn't help but sneeze, looked at the starry sky and muttered to himself: "I hope Your Majesty won't be angry......"

"You let me calm my anger and tell me, how can you calm my anger? Do you rely on these defeated battle reports?" It took nearly a month for the battle report and the book to arrive in front of Liu Hong, and when he heard the news of the defeat at the front, Liu Hong's angry voice lingered in the hall.

It seemed that he felt that he had lost face like this, and after calming down his heart a little, Liu Hong ordered the three generals to be demoted to civilians and imprisoned for trial.

Liu Hong, who returned to the harem, first found He Guiren, took him for a walk in the garden, and talked with him.

Because of the birth of the prince, the daughter of the He family, who entered the palace not long ago, was canonized as a nobleman, and there was a vague trend of Queen He Song resisting the court.

"Now that the country is in turmoil, why is Your Majesty immersed in this harem and confused by women. "I met Queen Song by chance, but I didn't expect Queen Song to seem to have a bad brain, and she actually said such things in front of Liu Hong.

"I've seen my sister. He Guiren saluted Queen Song and looked decent.

However, Liu Hong is obviously the master who eats soft rather than hard, and if he says something good, he may be able to listen to a few words, if you say anything to him, it will only make him feel even more disgusted.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Liu Hong took He Guiren's hand and left, not bothering to pay attention to the queen at all.

"I heard that the queen sent a lot of calligraphy and paintings to the Wang family and the Yuan family, so many treasures, I really envy the concubines. He Guiren said envy, but it caused Liu Hong's dissatisfaction with the queen.

The Wang family and the Yuan family are both first-class families, and the families are the existence that His Majesty hates the most.

"A group of moths have swallowed up so many of my people and acres, but they only pay so little tax. "On more than one occasion, Liu Hong cursed beside her the big families who greedily annexed the land and the people.

Liu Hong, who was already very dissatisfied with the queen's self-righteous preaching, was even more moved at this moment.

When he came to the secret place in the garden, Liu Hong saw that there was nothing around, so he pulled He Guiren's clothes.

A delicate peony flower was wiped of pollen from the flower, and the petals were scattered. The fragrant buds are unleashed, and a drop of crystal clear dew slides down from the branches on the side and follows the remaining petals to the buds. It seems to feel the impact of the dew, and the shy buds are closed one by one, but they are absorbing the dew.

After a long time, the two finally ended their sweaty battle and got dressed.

"The concubine sends off Your Majesty~" He Guiren made a blessing ceremony and sent off the departing Liu Hong.

Liu Hong left, and He Guiren, who remained in place, was disheveled, his hair was loose, and there were still some white dirt left on his face. was about to wipe off the white dirt, but two hands stretched out from behind and held He Guiren's two immature.

It was He Jin, the elder brother of He Guiren, who secretly entered the palace.

"Miss me, sister. He Jin couldn't wait to untie He Guiren's clothes.

The helpless He Guiren was at the mercy of He Jin, but he whispered: "Didn't you tell you not to come? ”

He Jin galloped while smiling shamelessly: "When our debater becomes the emperor, the world is ours, what is there to be afraid of." ”
