Chapter 118: The Petition for War Was Approved
One hundred and eighteen, the petition was approved
Liu Xun's expression was solemn, and a clear-eyed person could see at a glance that the emperor must have something important to say today, and the ministers all held the jade steps, standing in their positions with their heads down.
"This morning, I have something to announce!" Raising his eyes and scanning the ministers under the dragon seat, Liu Xun paused before continuing.
"I have consulted with Lord Sima Huo for many days, the Huns have repeatedly violated our borders, burned and looted the people of our Han Dynasty, and their wolf ambitions are really intolerable, I have decided to send 200,000 elite soldiers to raid and clear the court of the Huns, which is bound to completely eliminate the Huns and prevent future troubles! Since the beginning of Emperor Jing, the Han Dynasty has been repeatedly harassed by the Huns, and there have been disputes in the past hundred years, many of which have been overthrown by the Huns barbarians, and the general Wei Qing of Emperor Wu pacified the Huns, so that the 500,000 troops of the Xiongnu court were wiped out, so that the border of the Han Dynasty was restored to peace! ”
Hearing the general Wei Qing, Wei Ling's heart shook in vain, that was the glory of the Wei family, Wei Qing is undoubtedly the soul of the Wei family, and it is also Wei Ling's most revered idol, Liu Xun's eyes swept from Wei Ling's body, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, after all, part of his blood is from the Wei family.
"Since Emperor Wu pacified the Xiongnu, there has been less disturbance on the border, but not long ago, the Xiongnu came to my border to show off their might, and there is more intention to further invade, how can our great Han country tolerate the provocation of these barbarians, so I agreed with Da Sima and decided to march into the Xiongnu royal court, vowing to sweep away the Xiongnu to prevent future troubles!"
Liu Xun's thick voice echoed in the Xuanshu Palace, such a decision undoubtedly made the generals excited, after all, this was a good opportunity to make contributions. Therefore, the generals are all gearing up, and they are all ready to ask for orders to go out. Wei Ling found that General Chang Hui had been standing there silently. It seemed that he was not interested in what the emperor said, and he was ready to fight like others, so he pressed himself into the bottom of his heart.
Soon, some of them couldn't bear it, and they already knelt in front of Liu Xun to ask for battle, these people were afraid that others would rob them of their credit, and they all rushed to show their loyalty in front of Liu Xun, and Liu Xun frowned when he heard it. No matter how you look at it, these people are like a rabble, such people went to the battlefield. Not to mention the Great Huns, I'm afraid I can't even endure the cold weather in the Western Regions.
"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to be a pioneer and explore the way for the army. For His Majesty xià to share worries. Please also make it perfect! ”
"Your Majesty, the last general is also willing to go, and please fulfill Your Majesty!"
Huo Guang stood in the first seat, looking at these people kneeling at his feet with the eyes of a clown, seeing that Chang Hui and the others, who were really capable, were silent, and these people had no ability in the day, and the best at it was probably a mustache. Huo Guang's eyes widened, and he looked at the crowd and shouted.
"What does it look like to be noisy? Who to send on the expedition. Your Majesty has made up your own mind, and it is not your turn to ask for battle. Stand down! ”
Huo Guang roared like this, and the people who were squeezing forward just now stopped squeezing, and quietly returned to his position and stood up, looking at Liu Xun's eyes with eagerness, seeing these people, Liu Xun was directly laughed angrily.
"General Chang Hui, do you have any opinion on the matter of sending troops to the Huns?" Chang Hui, who was named, walked up to Liu Xun and knelt down directly, the armor on his body rattling.
"Weichen thinks that it is not the most favorable time to fight the Huns now, it is now September, the Huns are in the northwest, and the northwest region has entered winter at this time, and it is difficult for my Han soldiers to adapt to the extremely cold weather, so Weichen thinks that it is better to wait for the next spring to send troops, when the weather is warmer, it is also conducive to the march!"
What Chang Hui said, Liu Xun and Huo Guang have also discussed, but there will be nearly half a year to go next year, and the Huns will have time to prepare for resistance in this half year, and the effect of Liu Xun's surprise attack will naturally be greatly reduced.
"These I and Da Sima have also considered, but the most powerful method at present is to raid, the Xiongnu rely on the terrain of the Western Regions, so it is concluded that the imperial court will not send troops to him lightly, and because of this, they will be more unscrupulous on the border, in order to do it once and for all, I will discuss with Da Sima together, and use the way of surprise attack to smash the Xiongnu royal court, so that this barbarian will never turn over in the future!"
Of course, Chang Hui understood what Liu Xun meant, and he understood that the tactics that Liu Xun said about raiding were indeed the best choice at the moment, "Weichen understands!" Now that His Majesty's mind has been decided, Weichen will follow His Majesty's decision, but His Majesty's head is the first to look forward! ”
Seeing Chang Hui's attitude, Liu Xun finally had a smile on his face, and gave Sun Liangyu a look, Sun Liangyu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly unfolded the holy decree in his hand and read it out.
In the first three years, this is the third year of Liu Xun's accession to the throne, on the edict, Liu Xun sent five generals of the Han Dynasty to lead nearly 200,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu.
After reading the holy decree, the five generals mentioned in it all knelt in front of Liu Xun, Liu Xun gave them a seal letter, and no one had given them a pair of armor, and the matter of sending troops to the Huns was ordered.
As a general of Wuwei, Wei Ling is naturally much worse than these five generals, so Wei Ling never thought that he would be named a general, and now he wants the position of the vanguard more.
Seeing that the five generals had retreated to the side with the seal letters, Wei Ling walked to the emperor and knelt down and said, "Minister Wei Ling asks His Majesty to allow the last general to go to the Xiongnu, and also asks His Majesty to fulfill it!" ”
Of course, Liu Xun knows Wei Ling's thoughts, but when General Wei Qing's heir is passed to Wei Ling, he is left with such a lone seedling, if there is a mistake on the battlefield, then General Wei Qing will have no queen to inherit the surname Wei, thinking of this, Liu Xun was a little hesitant.
"General Wei's courage is commendable, I heard that his martial arts are outstanding, and the Wei family army under his command has a strict style, and Weichen is willing to include General Wei in the queue of Weichen and give him the title of pioneer, I don't know if His Majesty can approve it!" It was the Qilian general Tian Guangming who helped Wei Ling speak, Wei Ling was actually a little surprised, because he had never had any anxiety with this person, and he pleaded for himself at this moment, which Wei Ling really didn't expect.
"General Tian is so ashamed, this Wei family kid was taught by me since I was a child, and the insiders treat him as a son, at this juncture, General Tian wants to snatch my people, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" Chang Hui's hippie smile looked like he was joking, and seeing that Chang Hui stopped him, Tian Guangming didn't say anything, lowered his head with a gloomy face, and returned to his position.
Chang Hui was also not polite, and hugged his fist at Liu Xun, "Your Majesty, let's let Wei Ling be the pioneer of Weichen!" You know, Wei Ling is equivalent to Wei Chen's apprentice, and it will be much more convenient to do things under Wei Chen! ”
Liu Xun looked at Wei Ling, looked at Chang Hui, and finally nodded, and put Wei Ling by Chang Hui's side, but as a pioneer, he naturally had to take the first step to find out the news, so it was determined that three days later, Wei Ling would take his own Wei family army and set off to the Western Regions first.
