Chapter 467: The Theory of Chang'an
When he was thinking nonsense, Wei Qing had already ordered his own soldiers: "Immediately send a Hongling urgent envoy to expedite six hundred miles to report our army's great victory in Heshuo!"
"No!" Immediately, a red-feathered messenger was speeding away!
"What, General Gongsun has an idea? You might as well talk about it! Haha, don't you think it's not fun to fight? Next time, how about we focus on the main force of the Xiongnu Yizhi Da Danyu, or the main force of the Right Xian King?" Wei Qing smiled proudly.
At this moment, he suddenly had the joy of conquest! This title of marquis is lovely, but thousands of enemies have surrendered in front of you, kneeling at your feet one by one, how can that kind of happiness be described in words? No wonder people all over the world like to pay homage to marquis and prime minister, and the taste is indeed intriguing!
Seeing this, Mengjing knew what he was thinking, and he was happy, so he quickly pulled Li Xuanyue, Han Yao and the others to make wine and food!
Gongsun Ao sighed, smiled, and said incredulously: "General Wei Qing, let's finish the fight? Haha, I'm almost still in a dream! Originally, there must have been a vicious battle and a big battle on the Heshuo grassland when we came back, but I didn't expect that the general would be like a storm and clouds, and we would have won! Haha, we have gained a lot this time, we have annihilated at least 50,000 enemies, and more than 10,000 prisoners, and many people are still being captured! It's so happy! It all came so suddenly, I couldn't believe my eyes!"
Speaking of this, he was a little proud: in this battle, his results were not bad, and he also captured more than 5,000 people.
"Hehe, General Gongsun, the reason why we are so smooth is entirely because General Han and Princess Taiping have dragged down the main force of the Xiongnu Yizhi and Da Danyu! Therefore, the pressure on our side is less, and besides, the Huns have always looked down on our cavalry, so they are basically unprepared! Therefore, we have taken a big advantage! In the future, haha, I am afraid that the battle will get bigger and bigger, and it will become more and more difficult to fight, because the enemy is already prepared, and it will not be easy for us to take advantage of it so easily! Hehe, however, we have General Han, Princess Taiping is here, so she will still be handy in the fight!" Wei Qing smiled confidently.
When Gongsun Ao heard this, he thought for a while before he became happy: "Tell me, what's going on with this General Han? According to his military exploits, I'm afraid that it should have been a foregone conclusion a long time ago, but that kid is not rare, why is this?"
"The two of them like to have fun! Our General Han doesn't seem to have any requirements for this virtue, but he likes it very much, but he also takes it in moderation, very good, and finally lives up to our hopes! Haha, okay, our wine and food are ready, General Gongsun, please!" Wei Qing hurriedly invited him to a banquet.
Seeing this, Gongsun Ao smiled: "You two are almost the same, haha, you both like beautiful women, fine wine, and food, and you have taken us a lot of light, haha, Mrs. Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work! I'm sorry, we only have to enjoy it, and we can't even refuse, haha, if you have time, you must let you learn from you, and you can get me good wine and food every day!" After speaking, his eyes were naturally full of envy.
"Little meaning, haha, if Mrs. Gongsun is interested, you might as well come to our mansion! Or Princess Taiping's mansion can also be! We will never hide our secrets!" Li Xuanyue smiled.
A celebration banquet officially began, but he didn't see the shadow of Princess Taiping, Wei Qing wondered: "Could it be that Taiping has returned to Chang'an?"
"Probably yes, hehe, that girl is clever! Maybe, she has already gone to repay her merits like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, haha, she, she likes to please the emperor the most, it seems that the emperor also likes him, haha!"
As Mengjing said, when they had a celebration banquet, Princess Taiping happened to arrive at Princess Taiping's mansion outside Chang'an City.
"Hehe, we're very good, thank you little girls for thinking about it! Let's come back this time, it's a replacement, Ji'an, Xiangxiang, you two princesses are going to preside over affairs with the real princess in Chang'an! Of course, Nangong Yue is your head, and everything is up to her! Xue'er and Xin'er are going to go to Dawan with me! Well, I'm resting in Chang'an for one night, and tomorrow night, we're going to Dawan! Alas, it's a pity, I can't even attend my brother's wedding banquet! However, with Mei'er and Yun'er accompanying my brother, this princess is still very happy and relieved! After speaking, Princess Taiping looked at Yu Xin again and smiled: "Your girl's official book is also good, remember, you will preside over this matter of spreading my Han civilization, Xue'er, assist you, she has another important task!"
"Yes, don't worry, princess, the slave knows!"
When Pei Yingxue heard this, she was happy, and smiled charmingly: "Haha, don't worry, princess, we know everything in our hearts!Oh, Qin Meng'er's delivery date is about ten days away, should we come back to see her?"
"Well, let's talk about this then! Yue'er, find a stable woman, wait for her, I'll see her again tomorrow, she must rest tonight, don't disturb her! Okay, Xue'er will prepare wine and food for me, Xiangxiang and Ji'an will also help, and Yue'er will report the finances!" Princess Taiping smiled.
In the early morning of the next day, she went to Emperor Wu of Han early in the morning to report the great victory of Heshuo, and Han Ping'an was happy when she heard it: "Ah, really, Wei Qing's fast horse has not yet arrived, so the imperial sister will come back first? Very good! Haha, I will arrange a celebration banquet to celebrate Wei Qing's success! You said that you are still going to the Western Regions, why? When will you go? Han Ping has not returned?"
"Hehe, Brother Huang, we are going to spread the civilization of the Central Plains! We are going to spread the culture of our Han Dynasty to a foreign land, so my Xue'er and Xin'er will have to pass! We may have to stay in the Western Regions for a few months, even, a year! By the way, when we come back, we will definitely bring Zhang Qian back to His Majesty!" Princess Taiping said resolutely.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought: In the second year of Yuanguang, he sent Zhang Qian to envoy to the Western Regions, which has been more than ten years, and he thought that he must have been killed by the Huns!
After thinking about it, he sighed: "Alas, this Zhang Qian is not simple, he is a meritorious and loyal minister of my Han Dynasty! Very good, you must bring him back! I want to reward him! Yes, you are right, we want to spread the civilization of my Han Dynasty to a foreign land, very good, you fight the front station, it must be for Wei Qing and them to go! Well, you girl has a far-sighted vision, and she must not be a thing in the pool, very good! What kind of official do you want? Han Er doesn't want it, and you don't want it either?"
"Hehe, we are originally royal people, and being able to serve my Han is what we must do in the royal family! Therefore, we don't need to be rewarded, Your Majesty can sink our General Wei Qing heavily! Haha, okay, my sister is leaving, Your Majesty will arrange a celebration banquet, Wei Qing and they will be back in five days! My sister has retired!" Princess Taiping finished speaking, and quickly retreated.
When Emperor Wu of Han still wanted to ask, she had already gone far away, and she seemed to be in a hurry, it seemed that she had a lot of things to do!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sighed, and then said to Sima Qian, the internal historian: "Don't record this matter of Han Ping and Princess Taiping in the history books, they don't care about this!
"Ah, however, Your Majesty, the minister is a historian, and his duty is to record the words and deeds of the emperor and princesses.
Emperor Wu of Han sighed again, and then smiled: "I have received a secret report, this Princess Taiping and General Han Ping can actually fly down from the sky, no wonder they don't take the Huns in their eyes, so they are not ordinary people, but immortals! So, there is no need to remember, let's put the merits on those people around us!
He was not at ease, and looked straight at Sima Qian with his eyes.
"Ah!" When Sima Qian heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and after thinking about it, he also smiled: "Yes, the minister understands! Haha, it seems that Your Majesty is really blessed with great fortune, and even the gods have come to help! However, this Princess Taiping and General Han are really powerful, it's a pity, it's a pity!"
"Who said it wasn't? Haha, look at General Han's style of play, where can people play? A hundred horses can crisscross the grassland, you say, can people do it? So, strange forces and things like that, it's best not to leave a name in our history, besides, Taiping and Han Er don't care about this!
As soon as Sima Qian heard this, he immediately understood, smiled, and nodded in agreement: Since Princess Taiping and General Han don't care anymore, what's the point of remembering it or not? It's better than Li Guang fighting back and forth, and he didn't even touch a Hou Mao! Alas, perhaps, this Li Guang is really miserable!
Emperor Wu of Han saw that he didn't speak, and he became energetic: "What are you thinking? Uncomfortable for General Han and Princess Taiping? or, something else?" He really didn't understand this historian sometimes, he was too straightforward.
"Well, Your Majesty, the minister is not worthy of General Li Guang! It is said that he is also the first general of my Han Dynasty, and he will be a 'flying general' at a young age, and even the Huns are afraid of him! However, he did not make military merits in the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and he has no military merits in this fight against the Huns! This time, he has no military merits, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to become a marquis! He is really miserable!" Sima Qian actually told the truth.
As soon as he said this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was speechless, smiled, and after a while, he said: "Li Guang's life is indeed not good, but he really can't do it! Just take the last time we went out in four ways, General Han and Princess Taiping took the Huns away, but he still couldn't do it, and he almost became a prisoner of others! Sima Qian, tell me, can this kind of person be a marquis? The face of my Han Dynasty has made him lose everything! This time, he almost can't defend the right Beiping, alas, it's really useless!"
"However, it's not his fault! He just has a bigger reputation, so the Huns are eyeing him! Like Wei Qing, who is unknown, he has made a great contribution by making a move!" Sima Qian was a little puzzled.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled: "Character determines fate! General Li Guang is good, but unfortunately, he is too arrogant, so everyone doesn't like him! Then, he is lonely, you say, this lonely-looking person, either as a king or as an emperor, how can he be a marquis? So, don't say that I don't give him a chance, I just give him a hundred chances, and he won't be able to make meritorious contributions! Because, he is outdated! In the future, this Huo Qu's illness is better than him! Because he was trained by Li Zhen, haha, how bad can he be?"
It seems that his trust in Princess Taiping and Xiao Han has reached the point of no return, and everything is basically based on their intentions!
Seeing this, Sima Qian suddenly understood: Li Guang, there is no Hou Ye's life!
