Chapter 453: Two Things

When the third cousin entered the palace again, Yuan Xuan avoided it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

After two times, the third cousin also understood that Yuan Xuan was having trouble with her.

Gillian has always been concerned about these troubles between children, and they are used to arguing like this today and tomorrow.

But this time it has been a long time for half a month, and the sisters have no intention of reconciling.

attracted the second sister-in-law to speak in front of Gillian in person, "Lan'er is still a sister, and she is really ignorant." ”

The meaning of the words was nothing more than that the sisters were afraid that they would really have a grudge, and there was a deep uneasiness in their eyes.

Gillian couldn't help but sigh a little, once the blood and family relationship reached the heavenly home, it would be a little bad after all.

As Liu Che's only princess, Yuan Hui is even more favored than the prince of Hui'er, how can his status not be transcendent?

Even her aunt and uncle can't just treat her as a delicate niece, for fear that she will have a dislike for her again.

Isn't Wu Anhou, who died of a violent illness, the uncle of the Son of Heaven?

Who still remembers how the Tian family was in the past?

The future of the Chen family still hangs on the Son of Heaven and the prince's heart.

Gillian didn't take it seriously, but when she saw her second sister-in-law like this, she had to say: "I think Lan'er is very good, don't scold her."

Yuan Wei was spoiled by her father, and her brothers and sisters all walked sideways.

It's about the same age as her, and Lan'er is the only one who can play.

You ignore her, and you'll be fine after a while.

Children, it's all June days, and they change when they say. ”

The second sister-in-law smiled, her expression finally eased a little, and she talked to Gillian about it.

Gillian was not in the mood to respond, and kept yawning, and the second sister-in-law quickly got up and said goodbye when she saw that she was tired.

Gillian was really tired, and she slept until dinner before getting up.

She sat on the couch for two moments, only to feel an irrepressible tiredness slowly rising up in her heart, blocking her speechlessness.

She now has everything she longed for in her previous life, but at the same time she seems to have lost a lot.

For example, relatives who are gradually separated by status and power from an insurmountable gap, although this situation has long been doomed since she married into the imperial family, but the difference in status has not been so big at first.

The aunt and sister-in-law were very close to each other in the early years, but as time passed, Gillian was favored and gave birth to a son, and even her brother and sister-in-law could no longer only treat her as a sister.

This is inevitable, and Gillian also knows that she can't be too greedy, and she can't be told to do anything.

But in the end, she was still a little uncomfortable, and after falling asleep at night, she tightly wrapped around Liu Che, as if she needed this to feel at ease.

Liu Che made a soft voice from her throat to express her question, but Gillian refused to answer, she just buried her head deeper in Liu Che's arms.

In such a silent night, after the thick and ornate curtain cut them off from everything outside, the outside world seemed to really cease to exist.

At this moment, she could lie to herself that she and Liu Che were just the most ordinary couple in the world.

Their love and hatred will not implicate so many complicated things.

But the most fragile part of my heart still refuses to be numbed until I am dazed and unconscious and fall asleep.

When she got up the next morning, thinking of the sad spring and autumn of the previous day, Gillian herself felt a little funny.

After that fragile hypocrisy, Gillian's life is still living as planned.

She is gifted and diligent, so she doesn't have to worry about her studies at all.

Dong Zhongshu sincerely praised that the crown prince Tianzong was smart, diligent and studious, which was the luck of the country's inheritance for thousands of years.

Liu Che listened to this with a faint face, and even ordered not to let Yu'er know that he was proud and complacent, but he talked and talked to Gillian in private.

"Dong Zhongshu is arrogant and arrogant, and he does have his capital, and I think he can be regarded as the name of the Confucian master given to him outside, and it is very good that Yu'er can convince him."

Gillian smiled, isn't it just good?

Hui'er's erudition even overthrew the flawed Qiu Jianggong, who was as famous as Dong Zhongshu, causing Zhou Jiande and Bu Shi to resign from the post of prince and young master on the grounds of shallow learning, for fear that half of the world's reputation would be ruined.

Guan Tao said happily to Gillian: "This cleverness is really like a child-"

Seeing Gillian looking at her, she said: "You are naturally smarter than others, but you are worse than Ah Biao, and I can only count on Gillian to remember the kindness of the Empress Dowager and our Chen family for so many years—fortunately, you don't need it—"

Guan Tao is old, and he always likes to sigh when he talks about it.

Gillian is not used to this kind of pavilion, she still likes the domineering, domineering and arrogant eldest princess.

But Gillian looked at her with a smile on her face, so she didn't say anything, just listened to her quietly.

Yuan Xuan has also been a little surprised by Gillian recently, and she and Liu Lan have not reconciled yet.

You must know that after Hui'er moved to Hanbing Palace, Yuan Huan's friend was only Liu Lan, and although the two often had small fights, they never had an overnight feud.

It's rare to not be in touch for months like this.

Yuan Hui's abnormality is not limited to this place, the noble ladies in Chang'an City have not participated in the party recently, but they really sink their hearts to learn the piano in the palace.

Liu Che was relieved that the child had grown up and sensible, and on the other hand, he and Gillian were worried that they would not control the child strictly and make her unhappy.

Gillian is funny and helpless, if Yuan Xuan is unwilling, who can press her head?

That being said, she still pays more and more attention to Yuan Xuan on weekdays.

found that the child was very normal, and he couldn't see any displeasure, and after a long time, Gillian was relieved.

*****

After the battle of Monan, Zhao Xin, who had surrendered to the Xiongnu, said to Yizhi that now that the Han Dynasty was strong and unstoppable, it was better for the army to retreat to the north of the desert first, in order to lure the Han army to attack, and when the Han army was exhausted, it would attack again, and the Han army would inevitably be killed.

At that time, Yi Zhi Xian Shan Yu Zheng was deeply injured by the heavy losses of the Xiongnu in recent years, but there was nothing to be done.

After listening to Zhao Xin's advice, he thought that using the vast desert to restrain the Han army was an excellent idea, and after thinking about it again, he adopted it.

If this strategy of luring the Han soldiers and taking them from the extreme can really be realized, it is really a clever plan.

It's just a pity that he met Liu Che, and he was destined to not get much cheap.

The Han army turned to Hexi and captured the Hexi Corridor, causing the Xiongnu to suffer heavy losses again.

With the tribe suffering such great losses again and again, how much prestige is left of Yi Zhi Xian Danyu?

Annoyed and angry, he sent his army south in the autumn of that year.

The two armies, each with tens of thousands of horsemen, invaded from the two counties of Youbeiping and Dingxiang, killing more than 1,000 people, in an attempt to provoke Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and induce the Han army to march north and annihilate it in Mobei.

In order to solve the Xiongnu problem once and for all, and in view of the fact that the Han army had accumulated a lot of combat experience in large-scale cavalry corps running long distances, Liu Che launched the Battle of Mobei on an unprecedented scale in the spring of the fourth year of Yuanzhan.

In this battle, Liu Che mobilized 100,000 cavalry, 140,000 horses, 300,000 infantry and transporters, commanded by Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and marched to Mobei in the east and west.

This was really the largest expedition in the Han-Hungarian War so far, and it was also the farthest battle from the Central Plains.

From the very beginning, it was destined to be unprecedentedly difficult.

If they win, the Huns will no longer have the power to fight back.

If you lose, you are likely to lose all these years of hard work.

However, Liu Che still saw off the army without hesitation without the slightest hesitation.

He believed in his own judgment, believed in Wei Qing and Huo Quai's ability to lead the troops, and even more believed that Tianyun had completely stood on the side of the Great Han.

Liu Che was not as nervous as he was in the past, and he was already familiar with the control of the huge empire.

Every time she saw the courtiers who could stare at her with a single eye, Gillian felt that her majestic momentum had really become a commandment, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all dark, and the level of silence was great.

But perhaps this battle was too important and too difficult to fight, Liu still muttered a few words to Gillian at night to find confidence.

"Zhao Xin is only interested in planning, and often thinks that the Han soldiers can't stay lightly, and now they are going to get what they want."

Gillian held his hand and echoed: "This self-righteous Zhao Xin never thought that we could take him by surprise. ”

When intimate love is as heavy as Huo Qu's illness, he can only see Liu Che's confidence, and only Gillian can still see the deepest uneasiness and hesitation in his heart.

She thought that this alone was something she could exchange for all the beauty and favor she had now.

She lay in Liu Che's arms and affirmed softly: "We have won this battle." ”

Her peach blossom eyes were full of smiles, and she said narrowly: "Ah Yi, don't think about how to reward the heroes." ”

Liu Che was teased by her, and his heart was much more relaxed, hugging her and smiling: "Okay, as Jiaojiao said, this time I just want to be rewarded." ”

The Battle of Mobei was the largest and most arduous battle in the Han-Hungarian War.

The soldiers think that the terrain is the help of the soldiers.

The expedition to Mobei did not have a geographical advantage for the Han army, and the Huns even held the psychology that the Han army did not dare to go deep into Mobei.

However, after the three battles of Henan, Monan, and Hexi, the Han army had already accumulated through actual combat the combat experience of using large-scale cavalry groups to carry out long-distance raids and roundabout outflanking, and boldly formulated the strategic policy of running from a distance, penetrating deep into Mobei, plowing and sweeping caves, and seeking and annihilating the main force of the Xiongnu.

It has to be mentioned that the pre-war preparation of this battle was also an important reason for the victory.

The 100,000 cavalry participating in the war were all the most elite cavalry in the Han army, and hundreds of thousands of horses and infantry were also mobilized to transport grain and grass to solve the supply problem of long-distance combat.

In this battle, Wei Qing's outstanding commander can play to the fullest.

After Wei Qing led the army to Mobei for more than 1,000 miles, he set up a ring-shaped battalion and defended himself with military vehicles.

Ordered 5,000 cavalry to fight fiercely with Yizhi's 10,000 cavalry, and Wei Qing captured or beheaded more than 20,000 Xiongnu troops, and returned with a great victory.

Huo Quzhi, who is brave and good at fighting, has long been a well-deserved ace general in the Han army.

In this battle, he brought the long-distance attack tactics of the large-scale cavalry corps to the extreme, and after leading his troops to run for more than 2,000 miles and encounter the main force of the Huns, Huo Qubing annihilated more than 70,000 enemies with a loss of 15,000 people, captured three Xiongnu princes, and 83 generals Xiangguo Danghu Lieutenant.

When he met a god and killed a god, he killed a Buddha when he met a Buddha, and the invincible Huo Qubing all the way to Wolf Juxu Mountain.

He held a ceremony to worship the heavens here, and led the army all the way to Hanhai before returning to the army.

Later generations praised Yang Xiong and said: "Huo Qu's sick soldiers are extremely poor, chasing the north, sealing the wolf to live in Xu Mountain, Zen in Guyan, and facing the Hanhai, the Huns are terrified ......"

In this battle, more than 100,000 Huns were annihilated on both sides, and there was no power to fight back.

This fierce nation on horseback moved away in despair and desolation, and there was no royal court in Monan.

After the Battle of Mobei, the Han Dynasty's control area advanced northward to the edge of the desert, and almost all the marginal base areas of the Xiongnu and Lianghu were captured.

The good news bloomed all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City together with the spring flowers, and the great exploits of the Han army were known to everyone.

After Liu Che really defeated the Huns as he had dreamed before, he was naturally ecstatic.

After praying and worshipping in front of the tombs of the ancestors, he returned and rewarded the heroes of this war.

He added Wei Qing and Huo Qubing as the Great Sima, and from then on, the two generals were each called the Great Sima General and the Great Sima Hussar General.

After the crown was increased to Sima, his rank remained unchanged, and the Great Sima General and the Great Sima Hussar General respected the prime minister, and Wei Qing and Huo Quai's illness were able to manage the daily military administrative affairs in the name of righteousness.

Huo Quai's bravery was unparalleled, especially Liu Che's appreciation, and he used 5,800 households to seal Huo Quai, and many of his subordinate generals were rewarded.

Wei Qing did not benefit from the seal because his military exploits could not exceed the battle losses, and none of his subordinates had a marquis.

Before Wei Huo and the others arrived in Chang'an City, the momentum was already extraordinary, and the streets and alleys were full of praise.

On the day when the army returned, thousands of people were empty.

That night, Liu Che was very drunk, and when he returned to the greenhouse hall, Gillian led the palace people to toss for half a night before settling him down.

Gillian sat on the edge of the couch and fed him sobering soup, and at the same time she was relieved and funny to think that it was not easy to see Liu Che in such ecstasy now.

In the second half of the night, Liu Che woke up in a daze, reached out and took Gillian into his arms, bluffing Gillian a lot.

When she woke up, she was a little angry, "You're too strong, you hurt me." ”

Liu Che didn't care about her complaints, just choked up and sighed: "Jiaojiao, you keep saying that I can do it."

Now, I've finally done it. ”

His voice grew quieter, almost like a dream.

"I have done two things in this life, and I have done them well."

Gillian fell into tears in his arms, she understood, of course she understood what these two things were.

One is the golden house hidden Jiaojiao, and the other is the eternal border trouble.

Thinking of the past, thinking of the days when she was imprisoned by his side after death, the sourness in her heart reached its peak in an instant.

In his previous life, Liu Che also mentioned "two things", saying that he failed to do the most important one.

At that time, Gillian thought it was about the trauma caused to the world after the war, but later thought that it was about forcing Liu Ju to death.

Only it didn't occur to her—no—she thought about it—but it was an expectation, an expectation that she didn't want to admit herself.

It's just that she thinks if she is really that important, how can they get to such a point?

After a long silence, she looked up at Liu Che and found that he had fallen asleep at some point, breathing slowly in the dark night.

She lay in the silence of the night, and finally burst into tears.

Suddenly, she wanted to see the Golden House again.
