Han Zeng can be cold treated.

Chang Hui can't wait!

The losses of the Hexi Army and the Captain of Juyan could not be concealed for too long.

As long as the army returns to Yumen Pass, the whole world will know that Zhang Anshi has brought disaster to the country and the people, and they, Zhang Anshi's descendants, will be completely nailed to the pillar of shame, reduced to chess pieces, and will never come out!

As long as you think about what happened after Li Guangli's Dawan War ended, Chang Hui can know how big the trend will be this time!

At the end of the Dawan War, it was only a part of the army that remained in the Western Regions, and it could be rumored that Li Guangli did not pity the soldiers, and less than one in ten returned.

There is also a shocking lie that the Han army lost more than 50,000 people in the Dawan War-the entire Dawan War, in the four years before and after, the total number of troops invested by the Han army was only more than 40,000......

In other words, the Han soldiers who fought in the Dawan War died more than once on average.

Now, the Han army has really lost its troops.

Returning to Chang'an, I'm afraid it will be more than just a merciful soldier.

Perhaps, the name of a contemporary Ma Fuzi will soon be placed on Zhang Anshi's head.

And the entire Han army, I'm afraid they all have to die an average of three or five times in the mouths of the people of Chang'an.

This is not surprising!

In that year, during the Battle of Tianshan, there were rumors in Chang'an that Li Guangli's army had killed more than 30,000 people......

But the problem is that at that time, there were only 30,000 cavalry under Li Guangli's command - 10,000 of them were still the rearguard cavalry responsible for logistics and baggage......

If that happens, everything will be irretrievable.

The surging public opinion will push the court to adopt a one-size-fits-all policy on this matter.

At that time, not only will he claim that Nexperia will end miserably.

A general like Chang Hui himself could not escape.

The most terrifying thing is that even the low-level soldiers will be implicated.

Even those who died in battle and died were stigmatized.

Their sacrifice will be wasted.

There will be no bereavement benefits, no preferential treatment, and their widows, parents, and children will all live in the eyes of others.

What's even worse is that I am afraid that even the existing military exploits may not have the time to be fulfilled.

Such a terrifying future is by no means a brain supplement.

It has happened many times in history!

For example, the eldest brother of Empress Lu mourned the martial king Lu Ze, assisted Emperor Gao, pacified the world, and ranked among the top three in military merits, comparable to Han Xin and Xiao He.

However, how many people know about Lu Ze now?

How many of his generals have left their names in the history books?

Lu Ze's experience from the past is so obvious, how can Chang Hui not be afraid?!

Therefore, in the past few days in Lingju, he has been crazy about making friends, trying his best to listen to the news and gain good feelings.

Although he knew that it might be in vain, it was the only way he could do it!

Finally, after waiting for a few days, Chang Hui was notified: Shang Shu ordered a banquet to entertain Chang Gong at the residence of Captain Huqiang.

This made Chang Hui both nervous and excited.

I hurriedly began to dress up and get ready.

In the evening, an official came to inform: "Chang Gong, Shang Shuling is invited!" ”

Chang Hui hurriedly put on a crown hat, tied a ribbon, followed the up, and went to the residence of the captain of Huqiang.

By this time, it was already dark.

The north wind was howling in Lingju, and the biting cold wind made Chang Hui couldn't help but shiver, looking at the dark night in front of him, he couldn't help but feel worried.

He knew that this trip would determine the honor and disgrace of him, his generals, and hundreds of thousands of other people, including his subordinates.

Because......

In the current situation, the only person who has the possibility and ability to save them is that Shang Shuling!

None of the others!

In apprehension, Chang Hui walked into the residence of Captain Huqiang.

As soon as you enter the gate, you will be greeted by a blazing bonfire.

A few oil lamps hung on the walls, illuminating the courtyard of the residence as bright as day.

Chang Hui knew that these oil lamps were burning the latest specialty of Dasi Nong's sea official yamen, lamp oil refined from the fat of a giant beast called a whale from the ocean.

Legend has it that the original Haiguan Yamen of Dasi Nong caught those giant beasts and refined the oil, but they did not know the purpose.

It was only after the guidance of His Majesty today that he woke up like a dream.

As a result, the grease was used for lighting, lubrication, and maintenance of ordnance.

The result is surprisingly good, that is, even the palace lamps in the Chang'an Palace and the daily lighting of aristocratic families have begun to abandon tung oil and take whale oil.

Whale oil is expensive, though.

A bucket is worth thousands of dollars, and only the real top nobles and wealthy merchants can use it for daily lighting.

Ordinary aristocrats, two thousand stones, can only buy a few barrels, specially for study lighting.

Thinking of these things, Chang Hui couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Your Majesty, you really deserve to be the queen of Emperor Xiaowu!" ”

All-knowing!!

Moreover, His Majesty is now as full of vigor as the beginning of the day, while his own side is already decayed and degenerate, and he is dying of old age, and he can no longer eat.

Otherwise, there would be no need to be reduced to the current situation - you can only plead with a young upstart, begging the other party to help.

Thinking like this, Chang Hui couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

Because he understands that after today, no matter what the outcome of the matter is?

There is only one ending - Shang Shuling is powerful alone, cultivating other generals, and the Zhang family, who has just fallen into the clouds, can no longer exist alone as a force strong enough to influence the national policy.

The best ending is just to become a second-rate force and survive.

"Chang Gong, please!" The leading official pushed open a door and said to Chang Hui: "The general has been waiting for Ming Gong for a long time!" ”

Chang Hui nodded, lifted the ribbon, stepped over the threshold, and entered inside.

As soon as he entered it, Chang Hui felt warm all over his body.

The temperature in the room is like early summer.

A few whale oil lamps reflect this like a hundred days.

He raised his head slightly, and saw the middle-aged man who had been absent for a long time, the current Marquis of the Great Han Dynasty, Shang Shuling, and the confidant of the supreme commander of the empire.

The white festival given by the Son of Heaven was placed on his side.

But on the contrary, this Shang Shuling gave birth to a scholarly appearance.

He looks polite, white-skinned, and slender, as if he may fall down when the wind blows.

But Chang Hui knows that these are all appearances!

The one in front of him is a real beast.

He is also one of the top generals in the military, and it is because His Majesty has no one around him that he became Shang Shuling.

Therefore, he stepped forward and bowed, and bowed respectfully: "The last general Chang Hui, meet Shang Shuling!" ”

"Chang Gong is exempt!" The middle-aged magnate sitting at the top smiled slightly, and laughed softly as at the beginning: "I haven't been there for many days, but I don't want to meet Chang Gong again in Lingju!" ”

"Please Chang Gong convey the general's greetings to the general of the Che Cavalry!"

Chang Hui hurriedly bowed again: "The general's love, the last general will definitely convey it!" ”

"Please sit down...... The other party got up with a smile, stepped forward, helped Chang Hui, sat down in the seat, and then ordered the left and right to bring drinks and snacks, and then greeted: "Lingju is bitter and cold, not as good as Chang'an, so I have to prepare a little thin wine to entertain Ming Gong, and I hope Ming Gong doesn't mind!" ”

"How dare you!" Chang Hui hurriedly raised the wine bottle and saluted: "If you can get the general not to give up, you will entertain you personally, and the general will be grateful to Dade!" ”

So he drank all the wine from the bottle in his hand.

How is the Che Rider General lately? Han Zeng looked at Chang Hui with a smile and asked.

When Chang Hui heard this, he immediately said: "Don't dare to deceive the general, the general has been a little uncomfortable recently......"

"This attack on the Huns is the day of the king and the sages, although they will take their baggage and expel them from the north of the Tianshan Mountains, but ......" Chang Hui carefully chose the wording: "But it was not intended to be designed by the traitor Li Shaoqing, and there was a slight setback at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain......"

"The strategy before the war has basically been achieved, so the general of the chariot cavalry will report to the general's majesty in the future......"

"Debriefing?" Han Zeng's eyes narrowed, full of smiles.

"Yes!" Chang Hui straightened his waist and looked like a matter of course: "The prince is now Shang Shu Ling, the rank is two thousand stones, the Son of Heaven is Qin Ji battle, and the general of the chariot cavalry dares not to ask Shang Shu Ling'an?" ”

This sycophant is really filmed by Han Zengbu inside and outside the entire official office, and he will be extremely comfortable.

Many are even fluttering.

After all, the person who came was the right-hand man of the cavalry general Zhang Anshi, and his right-hand man represented Zhang Anshi's personal visit.

He was able to bow low and be small, and lower his posture to this extent.

It's really

Sorry!

Many people immediately had a good impression of Chang Hui and Zhang Anshi.

Of course, this kind of goodwill is as cheap as the smile of a prostitute in the willow alley of Chang'an Flower Street for two different forces.

Love to read

As long as you want, you can turn your face and deny people every minute.

But, at least for now, everyone is happy.

Especially Xu Xiangru and Xin Wuling, they couldn't help but purse their lips slightly.

Even Zhang Anshi bowed his head?

Doesn't that mean that your home is about to take off?

The world of the future must be the world of one's own family!

Han Zeng just smiled and said, "The general of the chariot cavalry is too contemptible!" ”

"Please tell the general: The ministers of the Son of Heaven, no matter how high or low, they are all serving His Majesty's society!"

In his heart, Han Zeng was as clear as a mirror.

The reason why Chang Hui is kneeling and licking now is just to ask him to pull Zhang Anshi.

However......

There is no practical benefit, so why let him make a move?

It's still the same sentence - there is no right or wrong, no principle, only profit gain and loss!

As the leader of a faction, Han Zeng had a clear enough understanding of this.

In order to prevent himself from swelling, he now even ordered Han Yang to remind him every morning and evening: Han Zeng, you are not alone! You are the honor and disgrace of millions of people! If you act recklessly for the sake of a momentary pleasure, you will only be injured alone, implicating innocent people and affecting tens of millions of people.

The effect of this is very obvious!

No matter what Han Zeng does now, especially when it comes to external affairs, he will think twice and think carefully.

Because he knew he had to be infallible!

You must not affect the overall situation because of your own likes and dislikes!

Tie Han seems to be innocent, only cares about himself, and the injured must be his family, friends, subordinates and followers.

Just like now, even if he has the heart to pull Zhang Anshi to balance the court situation and stabilize the situation.

However, if there are not enough benefits to satisfy him.

How far Zhang Anshi is rolling!

It's a big deal, it's just to wait for Zhang Anshi to fall and pick up the leaks.

It's not like I haven't seen someone pick up the leak!

When the big hair collapses, the posture of the rabbit picking up the leak is a textbook-level demonstration!

Chang Hui is a smart person, and after listening to Han Zeng's words, he immediately understood the meaning in seconds.

Chang Hui was not surprised by this.

He was even ecstatic!

The most feared thing in the market is not that someone is offering a price, but that no one cares.

Someone makes an offer, which means there is a possibility of closing a deal!

Barely holding back the joy in his heart, Chang Hui stepped forward again and bowed: "General, the general of the chariot cavalry is coming this time, and he specially brought a gift to the general......

He took out a cylinder wrapped in strips of cloth from his bosom, placed it on the ground, and opened its envelope, revealing what was hidden inside—dozens of sheets of white paper more than seven feet long and one foot five inches wide.

Chang Hui held these blank papers in his hand, presented them to Zhang Yue, and said: "General, please see, this is the map of the geography of the Western Regions, rivers and mountains in the north of the desert presented by the general of the Che Cavalry at the end of his life......

"In addition, the briefings of the royal families of the Western Regions and their territories, populations, and victorious soldiers also have their own descriptions!"

Zhang Yue listened, and immediately solemnly took these blank papers, his face was ecstatic, and he praised while looking at it: "The general of the chariot is really hearted!" Have a heart! Knowing my good history and geography, I will send it to me with such a heavy gift, please Ming Gong to convey his gratitude! ”

These maps, texts, and information are not just geography and intelligence.

It also represents a kind of ritual - Zhang Anshi is using these things to tell Zhang Yue: As long as the eldest brother can pull me, then I am willing to offer everything in the Western Regions and Mobei with both hands!

And this is exactly the attitude that Han Zeng wants!

Save you can!

However, the territory has to be given up to me and new generals are trained!

Since Zhang Anshi has shown his attitude and sincerity.

Han Zeng couldn't help but give back, he ordered someone to put away those blank papers, and then said to Chang Hui: "I have also heard about the general of the chariot cavalry trapped in the Tianshan Mountain......

Chang Hui immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

I listened to the Shang Shu's order: "In this way, the general of the chariot cavalry is waiting for reinforcements, and we will take care of everything for the general of the chariot cavalry!" General Fan will be on his way tomorrow."
