Huo Quzhi explained: "This matter is too involved, I don't worry about others doing it, so you can only run once." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info rest assured, I can't fight for a while, and I still rely on you for protection? Joke. ”

Zhang Quandan was helpless, so he could only instruct his fellow Daoists, regardless of whether they brought it himself or Huo Quai's guards, be more careful, protect Huo Quai's safety, and take someone to do things.

In the Western Regions of Loulan Kingdom, Xue Qing stood on top of the newly raised city wall of Loulan City, looking at the endless traffic under the city, and the cries were endless, and most of them couldn't understand at all, this scene couldn't help but make Xue Qing a little messy in the wind.

For a whole few days, no substantive matters were talked about at all, and only Xue Qing and the people who stepped up preparations for the war were the people. The Da Yue clan is still fighting in the west, but unfortunately the distant water can't quench the thirst of the near. And the Hun cavalry who reoccupied Luntai faintly had the meaning of eyeing the south side of the super-south, and Xue Qing was careful to jump with his liver.

Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, watching the fire across the mountain and finally the fisherman's mind of profiting is too common, everyone has such an idea, you ask the lord of the thirty-six countries, who doesn't want to wait for you to fight you to the death, and then jump out to see if the remaining one can afford to provoke, if you can afford it, then fight directly, if you can't afford it, put your face in your purse, and continue to be a grandson.

The Western Regions have been occupied by the Huns for many years, and everyone still has lingering palpitations when they mention the brutality of the Huns. The Dayue clan is strong and strong, and it is the head snake of the land, and everyone knows that the Han country is rich and strong, and there are more than one million troops. Scared to death. The combined army of the entire Western Regions is less than a million.

Intricate relationships lead to all sorts of ambiguous relationships. No one is offended, and they do business in harmony.

In the final analysis, Xue Qing can still understand them, if they can do business well, what kind of war will they fight, fighting is not a fun thing, except for a few extremely special people in this world, such as Li Guang, there are really not many people who like to fight.

Wang Zangyun and Zhang Qian also stood behind Xueqing, speechless about the situation, and at the same time reviewed that their diplomatic work was not very good. Xue Qing only told them that it didn't matter if they could be moved or not, the key was to step up war preparedness and the construction of city defense. When the Huns come over, they, the grass on the wall, will naturally make their own choices.

It is a good time to stay away from Ganquan Palace, which is more than 100 miles away from Chang'an City, and it is early summer, and the palace clothes of the palace ladies are two thin layers of light yarn, and everything is looming. Unfortunately, the only spectator was not in the mood, he was reclining in a pool of hot springs. I have a headache with a silk book in my hand. The warm hot springs are bubbling with a little white steam, the petals scattered by the palace maids are swirling around them, and the ambergris in the copper furnace has a pleasant atmosphere. But Emperor Wu was dignified.

The emperor really didn't think that the Huns actually had the intention of escaping, all along, the Huns were brave and ruthless, and the influence of brutality and ruthlessness was deeply engraved in the subconscious of the Han people, who knew that the Huns were also people, and they were afraid of death, and they knew that they couldn't fight, and they would run with their tails between them.

Emperor Wu did not have time or mood to laugh at the Huns. If they really run, they will spend more than 4 million gold, hundreds of thousands of cavalry, more than 500,000 horses, more than 500,000 foot soldiers, and countless amounts of food, weapons, and armor. All of this can only be wasted.

Emperor Wu frowned, and he was worried.

pondered for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "Cheng Buzhi is here?" ”

Su Wen stepped forward and knelt on the edge of the pool and said, "Your Majesty, General Cheng has already arrived, and he is waiting outside for His Majesty to meet you." In addition, the prince also came, and he was waiting outside. ”

Emperor Wu had a headache when he thought of the prince, if he knew that the Northern Expeditionary Army was likely to return in vain, I am afraid that he would have to mention his set of policies of recuperation and peaceful development, unlucky boy. Emperor Wu waved his hand and said, "You go and tell the prince that I have fallen asleep, and after he leaves, I will quietly invite Cheng Buzhi in." Don't be discovered by the crown prince. ”

Su Wen arched his hand and said, "Huh." ”

Chuntuo has died, and now it is Su Wen who is serving by the emperor's side. I don't know when the conflict between him and the prince started to make trouble, anyway, Xue Qing doesn't have much leisure to care about this matter now.

Su Wen went out and sent the prince who came to Dingxing Province in the morning and dusk, and after a while, he invited Cheng Buzhi in.

said that it was General Cheng, but in fact, he had already retired, and he came over wearing a brocade robe at this time. It's a bit inappropriate to wear armor again. This product is a veteran of the same period as Li Guang, and even his qualifications and age are a little older than Li Guang. During the reign of the Empress Dowager Dou, she was Dou's confidant and favorite general, as the guard of Changle Palace, but he actually controlled the entire Han army. Now that he is old and retreats bravely, not everyone is so shameless like Li Guang, and he doesn't leave a stage for his juniors at all.

At this moment, there are not many military experts around Emperor Wu, all of them are sent to the Northern Expedition or to guard the Quartet, and there is only such a person left in the family. found a consultant to make a strategy, and didn't let him go to the battlefield to fight.

Cheng Buzhi walked in and knelt down to pay homage to the emperor: "The old minister sees His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Seeing that Cheng didn't know, the emperor seemed to remember those years again. smiled: "Old General Cheng, do you still remember the moment when you handed over the tiger talisman to me, how many years have it been?" ”

Cheng Buzhi said with a smile: "Sixteen years, after the death of the first emperor, the tiger talisman was handed over to the empress dowager to be in charge, afraid that His Majesty would be young and vigorous, and use troops rashly, who knew that His Majesty did not use the tiger talisman, so he sent Wei Qing and Wang Hui to quell the civil strife in Eastern Europe." The Empress Dowager handed over the tiger talisman to the old minister, and asked the old minister to transfer it to His Majesty the Emperor on his behalf, saying that the emperor can transfer troops without the tiger talisman, so why does the old woman keep this thing, it is better to give it to the emperor, and use the army in the future, which is also justified. The old minister sent it to His Majesty. ”

Emperor Wu smiled: "Well, that is the first time that grandma has affirmed me, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life." The old general thinks that in the past sixteen years, how have I used this tiger talisman, but has I misused it, or has it been used in the wrong place? ”

This is asked, even if there is, you don't dare to say it if you don't know eighteen dares, maybe the emperor didn't have real power back then, and he dared to say it when he followed the empress dowager, but now he never dare. Cheng Buzhi only said: "Your Majesty uses soldiers like gods, and there are many fierce generals under his command." Expelled the Xiongnu, recovered Hexi, and subdued Korea. The Quartet comes to the court, and the achievements of thousands of years are beneficial to all generations. ”

Emperor Wu smiled lightly and said: "After talking for a long time, I let the old general kneel, I remembered the old year, and I was negligent for a while." Su Wen, give the seat. (To be continued.) )
