Chapter 357: The Commander-in-Chief

On the outskirts of Minyue Wangcheng.

The river is murmuring, meandering, and flows through dense woods - at the bend it forms a lake with a radius of a mile or two, and a courtyard is built on the side of the lake, and a small pavilion stands on the bank of the river opposite the courtyard gate.

At the beginning of the heavy rain, the sun is not very scorching, and there is a small pavilion to shade the sun, a middle-aged man in gray clothes sits leisurely by the pavilion, fishing on the sparkling lake, which looks like a special interest.

"The Han army defeated the Xiongnu?" The middle-aged man who was fishing looked at the fishing line intently, and indifferently asked the young man standing beside him, "What kind of big victory?" ”

"Beheaded more than 60,000 people, captured tens of thousands of people, including a princess and three tribal kings, and obtained Henan." Yu Ruizhi replied. He was dressed in green clothes, and if he didn't have an official position, he didn't have a brocade robe, in fact, if Yu Shan hadn't used a lot of energy to protect him this time, even Yu Ruizhi wouldn't have been able to save his life. Receiving this grace, coupled with the in-depth understanding of Yu Shan in the Battle of South Vietnam, this made Yu Ruizhi's attitude more and more respectful when facing Yu Shan, "The generals who led the troops were Qin Cheng and Wei Qing. ”

"What a big deal, it's really a big win!" Yu Shan was slightly moved, but he still didn't look back, "It can be seen from this incident that it is right for us to choose to endure for the time being." After a deep sigh, he said: "Qin Cheng, Wei Qing, these two people are not idle people, and it is a trouble for us. ”

"Yes, it does." Yu Ruizhi said respectfully, paused for a while, and then said: "Bao Guan's old boy went to Chang'an the day before yesterday, and took the opportunity to show his loyalty to the Han Emperor, and also asked the Han Emperor to send officials to South Vietnam to serve as an adjudicator. ”

"This old boy has learned to be obedient this time." Yu Shan said with a smile, but there was undisguised disdain in his words, "Bao Guan is not worried, you can tell me how Wang Cheng has been moving recently." ”

"People are terrified." Yu Rui's way, "When our strength was greatly damaged, Su Chou went around to solicit people, either to make promises, or to use them for high positions, or to lure them with huge profits. The ministers couldn't see the current situation clearly, thinking that we were in a slump, and with the ugliness of both soft and hard, they did whatever it took to eliminate dissidents, and most of them voted for it. In a short period of time, the strength of the ugly has risen sharply, and our forces, except for some die-hard loyalists, there are few peripheral officials left. ”

Yu Shan listened to Yu Ruizhi's words, and his emotions were not very excited, these were all expected by him, "It is not surprising that Su Ugly has been overwhelmed by us for so many years, and he will turn over in one day, and it will naturally become worse." You tell the people below that don't panic, calm down, and it won't be long before we can make a comeback. Needless to say, whether he can fight us with a milky and dry boy, even the emperor of the Han Dynasty, will not let his ugly family control Minyue, so even if we don't move, someone will help us move. On the day when we see the light of day again, this king will never allow those wall grasses to have a good life! ”

"My king is like a god, Ruizhi admires, I will convey these words to the people below word for word." Yu Ruizhi understood Yu Shan's meaning and promised to say.

Yu Shan put down the fishing rod, stood up, looked at the rather wide lake, paused for a long time, and then said: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty thought very well, and used this king and the ugly to restrain each other, and finally held the initiative in Minyue in his hands. Hmph, if this king is so bad that he can't even deal with a little doll, wouldn't he have been the king of Dongyue for so many years? After speaking, Yu Shan turned to look at Yu Ruizhi and advised: "During this time, you run more, let our people not act rashly, accumulate strength, don't look at the ugliness and bounce happily and can't hold their breath, wait for the time to come, this king will take them back the power of Minyue in one fell swoop!" High-ranking officials, wealthy beauties, they are all ours, and we can't run! ”

"Ruizhi understands!" Yu Ruizhi responded.

"By the way, this king wrote a reply letter to the king of Huainan, and you sent a capable person to bring it to him." Yu Shan said again, "This thing must be done in a hidden way, and we can't let others find clues, otherwise I will wait for the great cause to rest!" ”

After arranging these things, Yu Shan smiled to himself, "Besieged on all sides, inside and outside, I want to see if this Han emperor really has three heads and six arms, and can handle it!" ”

"Baiyue's affairs, in the end, Baiyue's people have to solve it themselves, and outsiders don't want to interfere!"

......

Chang'an Weiyang Palace.

"This expedition, the army consumes a huge amount of grain and grass, plus last year's expedition sent 60,000 troops, which took nearly a month, and nearly half of the grain stored in the two warehouses last year has been consumed. Ji Di was bitterly admonishing Liu Che, who looked impatient, "Now that the land of Heshuo has been recovered, the national strength of the Xiongnu has been greatly damaged, and the resentment of my Han Dynasty for decades can be regarded as being resolved." At this time, the old minister is willing to ask His Majesty to stop the sword soldiers, rest with the people, and focus on internal affairs. Your Majesty should know that the water of the Yellow River has been repeatedly extinguished in recent years, and it is precisely when it needs financial, material and human resources to repair it, and the southern regions have expanded a lot, and it is also necessary to deal with the ......."

Ji Di chattered on the side, Liu Che had already listened to it drowsy, if it weren't for Liu Che's good mood these days, Ji Di would have spoken at this time, he might have gone long ago.

Outside the Xuanshu Palace, the old attendant Chuntuo walked over quickly, and heard an impassioned voice coming from the hall from a distance, so he asked the waiter at the door: "Doctor Ji Huang is still inside?" ”

"Yes." The waiter said.

Chun Tuo sighed, slightly anxious, "General Qin and General Wei have been here for a long time, waiting for His Majesty to summon them, why did this Ji Di Doctor not leave after talking for two hours in a row?" ”

The little waiter saw Chuntuo's impatience and helplessness, and thought deeply, "If you want to say it younger, Doctor Ji Di is really ignorant, the boss's person, why don't you know how to advance and retreat?" Now is the moment when His Majesty has won a great victory over the Huns, and at this time I persuade Your Majesty to accept it when he sees it, isn't this ignorant of current affairs? ”

"Hey!" Chun Tuo suddenly became a little angry, "What do you kid know!" These are the things you can talk about, too? Aren't you afraid I'll tear your mouth? ”

The waiter laughed dryly, so embarrassed, didn't you mean the same thing, why can't you see that I am slapping you on the back when I say this?

Chuntuo warned the little waiter, but still walked in, and said to Liu Che, who was stroking his forehead with one hand and looking at Shang Shu: "Your Majesty, the two generals have been waiting for a long time. ”

"Oh?" When Liu Che heard this, he showed a relaxed look as if he had been amnestied, "Then you won't be called in?" ”

"No."

Ji Di's words were interrupted, and he stood there annoyed and sad, looking at Liu Che with a look full of "anger and indisputability".

"Well, Doctor Ji, I've heard what you just said, and I'll think about it. In this case, you go down first, I still have some things to take care of. Liu Che said to the former master in front of him.

"Yes, the old minister retired." Ji Di shook his head and sighed, and retreated abruptly.

At the door, I met Qin Cheng and Wei Qing, who were about to come in, and the two young people saluted, "Doctor Ji." ”

Ji Di didn't want to speak, but when he saw that Qin Cheng and Wei Qing didn't say anything, he felt a little angry, so he said coldly: "How dare the old man be such a big gift to the two generals?" The current court is the only one with two generals who are looking forward, and the old man is a stinky stone ear, and he doesn't dare to be the way of the two generals. Please, both of you. ”

"What did Dr. Ji say, this makes me feel ashamed!" Wei Qing said busily, putting his posture very low.

"The general is now famous all over the world, what is there to be ashamed of?" Ji Di snorted coldly and said, "It's just that when the two generals are in high positions, as long as they don't forget the thousands of dead soldiers and the orphans and widows they left behind, the old man will thank the two of them for the people of the world!" ”

After that, he walked away, his posture was arrogant and not angry.

"Brother Wei, you don't need to be like him, we are just going to have our own policies in our respective positions." Qin Cheng saw that Wei Qing was a little distracted, and his expression was slightly gloomy, so he pulled him.

When Liu Che summoned Qin Cheng and Wei Qing, he first smiled and praised, and then talked about the actual problem.

"Now that you two are in the same ranks, you are no longer training soldiers in your spare time, and you need food to go out to fight, everything in the army has to go through your hands, and if there is a war in the future, you two need to personally ask about the grain and grass, and you two can count these in your hearts now?" Liu Che looked at the two henchmen in front of him, the smile on his face couldn't fade, these two generals had earned him too much face and merit.

"Wei Qing was originally a manu, fortunately His Majesty was able to make contributions to the Han Dynasty, thanks to His Majesty's title of general, the minister is walking on thin ice all the time. What His Majesty just said, the minister should do his best to think about it. Wei Qing said solemnly.

"The minister is in the upper valley, and he has heard a little bit about the preparation of the hussar camp, and he also knows the hard work involved." Qin Cheng saw that Wei Qing said it rigorously, so he didn't know what he said, he thought to himself that anyway, people have been following Liu Che for so long, so he can naturally understand what Liu Che meant, and he is not familiar with many things in the court now, so it is better to be cautious.

"It's best to know that hard work is the best. Qin Cheng, you have been a county guard in Shanggu, and Wei Qing has been by my side for so many years, I am not worried about the ability of the two of you, but I am afraid that you two will be careless. Liu Che nodded and said, "This time, the two of you went on the expedition, leaving Chang'an with more than 100,000 horses, and when you came back, there were only 40,000 left. Now Li Guang has asked for orders to go to war, and I have promised them to send troops to Hexi later. After this battle, I have very few good horses left, and if I want to meet the needs of the expedition, I will have to wait until the next year. I came to you today, not to repeat these facts to you, but to ask you, in the future, the war between the Han and the Xiongnu will inevitably become more frequent, and the consumption will inevitably be greater. ”

Wei Qing may not feel anything after listening to Liu Che's words, but Qin Cheng is heart moved when he heard it, he knew that his opportunity had come, whether there was hope for that matter, it depended on how Liu Che responded to his next words today!
