The next afternoon.

Li Guang, Li Xi and the master father Yancai led less than 100,000 horses to Gaoque.

There was no joy on everyone's faces, which was very different from the scene where Wei Qing was welcomed yesterday.

Zhang Yuan rode a horse and walked to Li Guang's side, staring at Li Guang with a pair of eyes.

"General Ranger, what are you doing here?"

"What am I doing?

Let me ask General Cai, why was my Taixue student murdered under your command? ”

Li Guang didn't dare to look directly into Zhang Yuan's eyes, and after this incident was done, he regretted it to death.

However, Li Guang here has the deepest qualifications, and his military position is only under Wei Qing, although he regrets it, it does not mean that he is afraid of Zhang Yuan.

"The Ranger General doesn't have the authority to ask me about it, does he?

You have to know that those people are no longer your students who are too learned, they are my Li Guang's subordinates. ”

Zhang Yuan sneered, and directly pulled out the long sword on his waist and pointed it at Li Guang.

"I am a teacher, and I didn't let them die tragically in the hands of my own people when I led them to the north.

Li Guang, you are not worthy of being a military general of the Han Dynasty, or even a Han man.

insulted my protégé, killed for no reason, and now there are more than a dozen people missing.

I, Zhang Yuan, swear here today that I will never die with you Longxi Li Clan, it is for personal grievances! ”

There was more than one person whose face changed on the spot, and if you can count how many officers in each army are above the rank of captain and surnamed Li, everyone will know what Zhang Yuan represents when he swears here today.

"Teacher, no!"

Yan Yi immediately shouted, and then Wang Qing also shouted.

Immediately afterwards, those students who were originally too learned stood up one by one.

The Pingyang Hou Cao family is the first noble of the Han Dynasty, and the first family in the Han army is the Li family.

No one can change this fact, Liu Che abolished the Li family in Longxi, and in the end, there are all kinds of people with the surname Li all over the world.

"I am the teacher of the world, even if there is no justice in this world.

I still have a pen in my hand, which will definitely present and write the narrow mind of the Li family in Longxi.

Incompetent people, in vain to consume our Han materials, not to mention in vain, but also killed tens of thousands of people.

Such a general is a disgrace to the great man, you just need to stand behind me.

Don't be afraid of him Li Guang! ”

Zhang Yuan has been holding back for a long time, and since he knew from Ba Rao that two Taixue students were killed by Li Guang, he wanted to kill Li Guang.

And it is necessary to put things on the table, the Li family's influence in the army is too wide, and Zhang Yuan is also worried that he will be killed by them.

But on the table, the people hiding in the shadows have to weigh it, and Liu Che will also give Zhang Yuan a relatively fair environment.

"The teacher still has us, Li Guang is too deceitful!"

Li Guang didn't expect Zhang Yuan to still swear here, but he was also angry.

"You think your current position is enough to threaten me like that?"

Zhang Yuan's sword pointed at Li Guang, and Li Guang also pulled out his long sword and pointed at Zhang Yuan.

However, unlike Zhang Yuan, after Li Guang pulled out his sword, at least nearly 10,000 soldiers raised their weapons against Zhang Yuan.

This is the prestige of a famous general who has been in the army for decades, an advantage, but also a dagger that harms himself.

"Hahaha, Li Guang, you're done!"

Zhang Yuan couldn't help laughing wildly on the spot, and then took the sword back.

There was also a person surnamed Li present, and that person was Li Xi, but he was the Li clan in the north, which was a branch of the Li clan in Longxi earlier, and now it has long been independent.

Although he intended to help Li Guang, he couldn't stand Li Guang's personality.

Li Xi has been working under Li Guang since he joined the army when he was young, and the two have not established any comradeship.

"Are you all trying to rebel?

Why don't you take all your weapons back to me! ”

Wei Qing was rarely angry, he didn't expect Zhang Yuan to finally cause such a movement.

This is going to be a real infighting, Wei Qing's scalp is numb when he thinks about it.

From just now, Wei Qing added a label to Zhang Yuan's head, that is, a madman.

Since the beginning of the fight, the relationship between Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan has also cracked.

In Wei Qing's heart, the big man is the first, Liu Che is the second, and the family is the third, as for Zhang Yuan, it would be good to be ranked fourth and fifth.

But if you can't control it now, it will definitely endanger the big man.

He knew that Li Guang was at fault, but he couldn't accept that Zhang Yuan was so ignorant.

Li Guang also knew what Zhang Yuan was laughing at, and he himself sneered with a pale face.

"Okay, you Zhang Yuan, I lost.

But the Li family in Longxi hasn't lost yet, and I still have a son.

What do you have? ”

"I don't have anything, but do you think your sons can make a big deal?"

To what extent the emperors of the Han Dynasty reused the Li family in Longxi, in the end, they only got disappointment.

There are naturally reasons for the emperor here, but isn't it still your Longxi Li family who is unlucky.

Facing a family that is going downhill, why should Zhang Yuan be afraid.

"Okay, well, just wait and see.

It's still a long time, it's still a long time! ”

"Don't, you can't get over this moment now, do you believe it or not?"

Zhang Yuan immediately turned around and bowed to Wei Qing.

"The former general, the cavalry general, took advantage of his power to kill a military commander and a military commander for no reason, and because of his own decision-making mistakes, he lost 50,000 slave troops, 10,000 troops, and countless materials, grains and grass.

The evil king of the Huns and the king of Hutu have not yet appeared, and the whereabouts of the Dadan Yu military ministers are also unknown, and the former general is asked to deprive the cavalry general Li Guang of his military rights and escort him to Chang'an City to await interrogation! ”

Forcing the palace, Zhang Yuan is forcing the palace.

But Zhang Yuan is also helping Wei Qing, this is an opportunity to completely abolish Li Guang's burdensome time.

But Wei Qing will never understand this matter, Zhang Yuan can't say that Li Guang is a drag oil bottle, and he can't even say that the Li family in Longxi will collide with the Wei family sooner or later.

Zhang Yuan could only bear all this silently alone.

Wei Qing didn't want to do such a thing now, if no one mentioned the military law, it would mean that there was nothing, but if someone brought it up, it was impossible not to see him.

"Take away the seal of the cavalry general, escort it back to Chang'an, and wait for His Majesty to dispose of it.

The corporal under the command of the former cavalry general was led by Li Xi, the general of the light chariot. ”

Those soldiers who had just raised their weapons, although Wei Qing didn't say anything, they also knew what to do.

One by one, they all withdrew their weapons, and after Wei Qing made a decision, they held their weapons again for Li Guangzhuangwei, which would really be a rebellion.

"Zhang Yuan, you are ruthless enough!"

When Li Guang was captured, he shouted fiercely at Zhang Yuan.

"It's not that I'm ruthless enough, it's that you don't have awe in your heart.

You don't fear this heaven and earth, you don't fear your enemies, you don't fear Your Majesty, you don't fear the people around you.

Your so-called kindness to your soldiers is all hypocrisy, selfishness, and incompetence.

Now I'm just tearing your mask off in front of everyone, and I hope you'll always hate me. ”

After Li Guang was taken away, there was a person who had been avoiding Zhang Yuan, and that person was the master father.

He used to think that Zhang Yuan would be ruthless enough to deal with him and Jifu, but now compared to Li Guang's fate, the master father Yan felt that he was really lucky to be alive.

All the words Zhang Yuan said would definitely reach Liu Che's ears, and in his words, there was a sentence that Li Guang was not in awe of Liu Che.

Once this sentence planted a seed in Liu Che's heart, Li Guang would definitely be finished.

After setting up the army, Wei Qing called Zhang Yuan to his big tent.

He really wanted to take out Zhang Yuan's heart now and see if it was red or black.

"Brother Yuan, why did you do that?"

When Zhang Yuan saw Wei Qing like this, he knew that he couldn't accept Zhang Yuan's approach in his heart.

"In order to take revenge, I brought those children to Northern Xinjiang to let them make contributions to the Han Dynasty, not to let them die in the hands of their own people."

"But you don't have to bring it up now, after returning to Chang'an, you can participate in Li Guang to Your Majesty, and I will also help you."

"It will be too late by then, and I will not be as important to Your Majesty as I am now.

Now His Majesty still needs me to stabilize the situation in northern Xinjiang, so he will not let Li Guang go.

After we return to Chang'an, with the momentum of a great victory, maybe our military exploits will be shared with Li Guang.

When the time comes, what should I do if he redeems his sins? ”

"But Brother Yuan, haven't you always attached so much importance to the students of Taixue?"

"Entering Taixue is my protégé, do I value them in Du County?

There are some things that you don't know, young brother, before these students left, His Majesty asked Zhang Tang to feed each of them poison.

Including Yan Yi and Wang Qing, and I feel guilty about them.

It's possible that they've been disappointed in Dahan once, and they're going to be disappointed a second time before they die.

Li Guang had better wish that the other seventeen students sent by him would not be in danger of their lives, otherwise none of his sons would survive. ”

"Did Your Majesty really feed those students poison?"

"Well, I brought it up, and I meant to pretend to feed them poison.

So that they will not be captured by the Huns and then confide in the map, but Your Majesty you know.

That didn't reassure him, so he sent Zhang Tang to feed everyone a chronic poison.

You say that I see Li Guang, how can I react? ”

Zhang Yuan felt that he could only persuade Wei Qing in this way, but as for the real reason, he really couldn't say.

"I see, but if there is a next time, I still hope that Brother Yuan can think about it carefully.

Not only did you pull down Li Guang today, but you also cut off the future of nearly 10,000 non-commissioned officers. ”

"Those people are Li Guang's people, in the future, you go one step further and have full power, those people will give you a loop."

"Brother Yuan, don't make such jokes, I'm very satisfied to be like this."

"Don't underestimate yourself, you will be better off with more confidence."

Both of them understand that today's conversation did not really close the rift.

However, the two of them are not the Lang officials who guarded the halberd in Weiyang Palace at the beginning.

After another three days of delay in Gaoque, the army began to move north, this time to be stationed directly in Toumancheng, and then wait for the order of Chang'an City.

Whether to stay here and build a city or withdraw the army has to be decided by Liu Che.

This wait is half a month.

The first order in Liu Che's edict was to demote Li Guangduo to a commoner.

It's the same as Zhang Yuan's thoughts, now that Zhang Yuan is still useful to Liu Che, this will punish Li Guang.

Liu Che listened to the suggestion of building a surrendered city, and set up a new Shuofang County, and Jiuyuan County in the Qin period divided a large area to Xihe County and Shangjun.

In fact, Henan was divided equally to Xihe County and Shangxian County, and then the remaining part was set up as Wuyuan County.

Restore Yunzhong County and Dingxiang County.

The lord's father was the county guard of Wuyuan County, and presided over the construction of the surrendered city.

The rest of the foot soldiers were scattered into these counties, and another 100,000 people moved into the four counties of the Northland.

Ordered Su Jian to lead 100,000 people to stay in Gaoque to build Shuofang City, as well as a new city, that is, the surrendered city, and to repair the abandoned Qin Great Wall in Yinshan.

Things south of Yinshan are basically set in this way.

The remaining more than 40,000 cavalry and other generals went directly south to Chang'an City.

It was only at this time that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The front line of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu advanced hundreds of miles at once, and it was the second time that it officially stepped into the boundary north of Yinshan.

The first time was done by Meng Tian during the Qin Dynasty.

When they went back, the road always felt very long, and Zhang Yuan and they also needed to bring the prisoners of war and the surplus horses of cattle and sheep back to Chang'an.

Walking and stopping along the way, Yan Yi and Wang Qing were busy writing down this experience on paper, so that they could give Sima Qian an explanation when the time came.

In fact, the war was less than a month from start to finish.

Zhang Yuan has been in the desert for more than half a year.

There are also those students who are too learned, they are the ones who have experienced and felt the most.

The mood is also much more complicated than the others, and the rest of the people's hearts are full of joy.

They may be back, and all they have to do is wait for everyone's cheers.

When the army was about to enter the realm of internal history, Chang'an City sent too many officials and brought all kinds of ceremonial supplies.

A grand welcome ceremony has been prepared for Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan inside and outside Chang'an City.

This ceremony was bigger than the last time Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing attacked Dragon City.

Liu Che will not meet Wei Qing and other generals on the walls of Weiyang Palace.

And will go out of the city in person, take Wei Qing's hand and slowly walk into Chang'an City together.

Yu Dan, these Hun captives with status, should also be washed and put on clean and beautiful Hun costumes.

This time, Liu Che allowed a military general of more than 600 stones to enter the palace to accept the reward.

Such an honor has not appeared since the defeat of Gaozu.

"Teacher, are you excited?"

Yan Yi and Wang Qing have never seen Liu Che, and if they can see Liu Che this time, even Liu Che may talk to them, they are already so happy that they can't sleep.

"It's okay, it's just that the reward hasn't been revealed, which makes me a little uneasy."

"Don't worry, teacher, even if you are the first to do it this time, it won't surprise people."

Ordinary soldiers and military merit books record how many heads they have gained, and Zhang Yuanwei Qing and they need Liu Che to measure it himself.

It stands to reason that Zhang Yuantong led the army to resist the 200,000 army led by the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Junchen, and also slaughtered a 10,000-strong Xiongnu tribe and captured the Xiongnu prince Yu Dan alive.

The second is Wei Qing and Gongsun He, who destroyed the tribes of the Aries King and the Lou Fu King respectively, and captured a large number of Hun nobles.

But it's a pity that the Aries King and the King of Lou Fu died.

The difference in value between the living and the dead is still relatively large.

In addition, Wei Qing is the commander of this expedition, and Zhang Yuan's exploits will be given to Wei Qing, which cannot be calculated.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan felt that he could seal a liehou, and it would be enough to seal a few hundred households, and he would gnaw on his old book at home in the future.
