Chapter 203: Beacon Smoke
The green poplar smoke is light and cold, and the red apricot branches are in spring. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In March, the spring breeze is warm.
Along the way, it's been seven or eight days.
It was noon, and I happened to come across a lake. I came down to drink the horses, and I didn't hurry to rest by the way.
Gillian got out of the car and looked at a tall magnolia tree by the lake. The magnolia flowers of the sea bowl are blooming in large flowers, and the large petals that are as warm as jade are clustered with yellow stamens, and the faint fragrance of flowers is wafting.
In my previous life, my junior high school alma mater loved magnolia flowers very much, and the school was full of magnolia flowers.
Their classroom was on the second floor, and they could barely reach the magnolia flowers when they stood in the hallway.
The big flowers are so beautiful that people are speechless.
No one picks them because they are falling so fast.
It was still a flower and bone when I read it in the morning, it was already in full bloom during the lunch break, and it was already withered when I came back the next day.
Such a warm beauty, without waiting for anyone to enjoy it, they will wither.
Seeing them again now, Gillian feels full of intimacy. It's like going back to junior high school, back to the days when I leaned down in the corridor and gently stroked these magnolia flowers every day.
She thought for a moment, then stood on tiptoe and reached out to climb a hairpin behind her head.
The fragrance was overflowing, and seeing Xue Wu smiling beside her, she also gave her a hairpin.
Zhang Boda was drinking horses, and he couldn't help but laugh when he saw their master and servant like this.
Under the vast sky on the edge of the hazy edge of the distant mountains, a milky white mist floated. The feet were soaked in the soft and moist mud of snow water, as if stepping on cotton. The water is sparkling, and the swallows are murmuring.
The group stood quietly in the spring breeze.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves broke through the silence.
In an instant, a gust of wind swept in front of them.
It was so fast that they didn't even see the appearance of the horseman, but remembered the vigor of the horse and the cold light reflected faintly from the horseman's armor.
It's a man in the army!
It's in the direction of Yanmen again!
Zhang Boda wondered if there was another war in the border county, but Gillian thought more than he thought.
She was wondering, did Liu Che use troops against the imperial court for the second time?
A peerless general like Wei Qing, Liu Che will not let him be in the dust for too long. He wants to cleanse the shame of the Han Dynasty since the founding of the country, and he wants to use Wei Qing's soldiers like a god to slash and deter the lord and faction in the court.
It has been four full years since the defeat of the unbuilt Mayi.
In the past four years, Liu Che must have been inspirational and innovative, and he will not admit defeat easily.
It's just that this time it is even heavier than the previous time, and the first unsuccessful return of troops against the Xiongnu and the defeat of Gaozu will become the reason for the death of the Lord and the faction. Even if he suppressed it with the might of the Son of Heaven, if he still failed this time, the Son of Heaven would never dare to mention the use of troops in front of his ministers in the future.
The more Gillian thought about it, the more she felt that it might be that the imperial court was going to use troops against the Xiongnu again, and her heart gradually became heavy.
How much pressure should he be under now? Even if he is the Son of Heaven, even if he has cut off the constraints of his relatives, he is not able to do whatever he wants.
Because this determines the fate of the entire empire, once it is wrong, there is no regret medicine to take. The entire empire will be dragged into trouble by him, and it will be difficult to turn over.
Even if he resists public opinion, even if he insists on killing people and establishing authority. But in the end, even Liu Che himself didn't know what was waiting for him was a dizzying success or earth-shaking destruction, but he still wanted to try, wanted to establish this immortal feat.
And he can't confide in anyone, he can't be weak, he has to be more confident than anyone else.
Liu Che's heart is heavy, don't ask.
In this world, only Gillian can say with certainty that he will succeed.
Gillian guessed correctly, since the winter of the fifth year of Yuanguang, thousands of Han troops have secretly assembled in the border counties.
What happened in a hurry was the heralds between the armies, and even if the prince saw it, he would only think that there was another war in the border county like Zhang Boda.
The Huns rode iron, invincible.
The Han family has not yet had a famous general who can defeat the enemy.
No one would have thought that the young emperor who had already suffered a defeat would dare to fight again.
They thought that Liu Che would be anxious about internal and external uneasiness, but in the end they looked down on him, too lightly.
How many emperors in later generations want to compare with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but there are only a few who can stand on his side, and there are only a few in the past few thousand years.
In this life, the whole world is destined to look up to him.
Gillian looked at the dust that was gradually settled, and her heart was full of emotion.
No matter whether Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is amorous or mean, he still makes the people of the world enthusiastic and proud.
Even if it is Empress Chen, she is proud.
Such a dragon among people is worthy of her.
Gillian clenched the silk book in her sleeve, and the inexplicable complex emotions almost annihilated her. She took a deep breath and got into the car first.
These days, she doesn't dream.
But she felt more and more that Empress Chen was with her.
She fell on her back on the thick quilt and closed her eyes.
Gillian expected it right, at this time, Liu Che was carefully sketching in front of a wall-sized map in the Xuanlin Hall of the Han Palace.
Wei Qing went out of Shanggu, Gongsun Ao Congdaijun, the light car general Gongsun He Congyunzhong, and Li Guang Congyanmen.
The generals of the four routes each led 10,000 cavalry.
The Huns have repeatedly challenged his endurance, and he has made up his mind!
No matter who comes to persuade you to think twice, you will always fight back!
People all over the world didn't believe that he could, even the queen mother summoned him to Changxin Palace and euphemistically said that he was worried.
Everyone persuaded him, but he only said the same three sentences over and over again.
Although His Majesty is holy, he still has to be cautious and think deeply in the end.
Gaozu was still defeated......
Liu Che really wanted to ask who stipulated that the generation was worse than the generation, and whoever stipulated that no one could surpass Gao Zu.
The blood and self-confidence of these people have all been frightened by the Huns in the past few decades, and they don't even dare to swing their swords!
But Liu Che can't, he has his own pride.
He had always believed that he could defeat Gao Zu, but he was the only one who believed in it.
There was a bang.
The sharp long sword broke the silk map with a slight force, but Liu Che had some sweetness in his heart.
He was wrong, and one more person believed it.
There is a person who always believes that he can become the first emperor of the ages, so that future generations can always look up to his achievements!
Believe it from the bottom of your heart.
Gillian.
She believed it from a very young age.
It seems that as long as it is him, there is nothing that cannot be done.
Liu Che actually wanted to tell her many times that he was just a human being, not a god.
But once he touched her watery eyes, he couldn't speak.
He just wanted her to be proud of him, he just wanted her to straighten up and say she wasn't mistaken.
What she likes is that she is married to the most upright man in the world.
Regardless of identity.
What would she say if she was there now?
Liu Che suddenly wanted to cry.
He missed her like never before.
Is she doing well?
She has been dressed and fed since she was a child, is she still used to it outside the palace?
He was afraid that she would feel like a fish in water, free.
He was afraid that she would think of the Han Palace and feel the cage.
He was afraid that she would forget him forever and ever.
She will fall in love with someone else and will have a new life.
She'll forget all about it.
Even, including him.
Liu Che fell to the ground with a bang, and the tip of his sword slashed through the map.
He closed his eyes tightly and held back the welling tears. (To be continued.) )
