After Qin Cheng received Liu Che's order in Minyue Wangcheng, he didn't make any stops, and took his own army to embark on the journey back to Chang'an. The matter of Minyue has been resolved, and Qincheng does not need to leave any manpower for Dongfang Shuo and others, today Qincheng goes first, and Yu Shan and these people naturally have Dongfang Shuo to take them to Chang'an later, as for the matter of visiting the King of Huainan by the way, there is naturally no need for Qincheng to bother anymore. Originally, Gongsun Ce wanted to be with Qin Cheng, but after this guy fought on the battlefield in Panyu City, his blood was very boiling, but he couldn't act without Liu Che's will, so he could only watch Qin Cheng pack his bags.

"Brother Gongsun, you can stay here, Yu Shan's guy still wants you to go to Chang'an obediently, and the matter of the battlefield battle will be left to me." Qin Cheng smiled and joked with Gongsun Ce, making him don't have a dead father-like expression.

"Hey, I actually want to go to war. Brother Qin, you can go first, maybe I will return to Chang'an in the next day, and I will lead an army to help you. Gongsun Ce shook his head and sighed.

Qin Cheng smiled and said nothing, there is no reason why Gongsun Ce's career path will be on the battlefield, this trip to Minyue is just gilded for Gongsun Ce, and when Dongfang Shuo and these people return to Chang'an, Liu Che will naturally have arrangements. To make meritorious contributions, it is not necessary to be on the battlefield, but the battlefield is just the most direct and dangerous way.

"Brother Qin, I'll wait for good news in Chang'an." Dongfang Shuo and Dou Fei hugged Qin Cheng with their fists.

"Okay." The pro-soldier team was ready, Qin Cheng didn't say more, got on the war horse, hugged his fists to everyone and said, "I'll go first." Ladies and gentlemen, see you in the court. ”

The last sentence, of course, was deliberately said to Dou Fei, Dou Fei understood, and nodded lightly.

A group of fifty or so rode out of the Minyue Wangcheng that had just calmed down but was about to surge, out of Minyue, into Huiji County, all the way to the northwest, starry night, a few days later to Chang'an.

After leaving Chang'an for almost a month, when I entered the city from Anmen, I looked up and saw a few familiar official script fonts at the head of the city, Qin Cheng did not have any superfluous emotion, and went straight to Weiyang Palace.

When I saw Liu Che, Wei Qing was also there.

After seeing the salute, Liu Che, who was standing in front of the map with Wei Qing, glanced at Qin Cheng up and down with a smile, and said in a domineering voice that he could not avoid no matter what tone he spoke: "Well, yes, it seems that the affairs of the Minyue Land have not made my General Qin feel so sad, and he is still so energetic!" ”

After Qin Cheng said modestly, Liu Che continued: "You handled the Minyue matter well, and you didn't disappoint me, and the effect of Wei Qing's previous visits was on par with that. Okay, let's talk about this later, let's talk about the grassland first. Wei Qing, you first tell Qin Cheng about the specific situation. ”

Wei Qing said yes, and after giving Qin Cheng a "good look", he walked to the map, pointed to the direction of the grassland and said to Qin Cheng: "Ten days ago, the Xiongnu sent three envoys to the Wuhuan, Xianbei and Amid tribes to form an alliance with the three tribes. After that, a large number of cavalry galloped back and forth in the desert grassland, and the heavy troops were assembled, and one of them had already gone south to Shanggu, Yanmen and other places three days ago. General Han, the guard of Yanmen, was defeated, thousands of soldiers were injured, and General Han himself is still missing. ”

General Han, the guard general of Yanmen, is Han Anguo, he was released to lead the troops this year, as for the reason Qin Cheng is not very clear, now it seems that the luck of this old imperial history is not very good, and it is not good to be in the future.

Wei Qing had just finished speaking, Liu Che took over the words, staring at the map with murderous aura flashing in his eyes, and said loudly: "I think that our Han army entered the grassland in a big way last year, and seized the Chaha land from the Xiongnu at the cost of tens of thousands of damages, and handed it over to the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Amid tribes to take care of. I have decided that this time you and Wei Qing will lead the troops to the battle, and you must teach me a good lesson to this group of wolf ambitious guys, and teach them how to be ministers and how to behave! ”

Although the Wuhuan clan has not yet declared itself a vassal to the Han Dynasty, Liu Che's words are very natural.

"Command!"

Liu Che turned around and walked to the imperial kang and sat down, shook his sleeves, looked at Qin Cheng and Wei Qing and asked, "Do you two still have any questions?" Especially you, Qin Cheng, you just came back from Minyue and don't know much about the situation. ”

Qin Cheng arched his hand, and said a very domineering sentence very seriously and seriously: "The minister does have some doubts, the minister doesn't care why the three clans are allied with the Huns, the minister just wants to know, this time, what extent does Your Majesty want Weichen and General Wei to teach the Huns and Wuhuan the three clans a lesson!" ”

"General Qin really has ambition!" Liu Che couldn't help laughing twice, there was satisfaction and appreciation in the laughter, and then he said forcefully: "Although this time the Xiongnu have formed an alliance with the three ethnic groups and invaded our border together, it seems to be huge, but in fact, it is not, and so far there are only 350,000 soldiers in the south. I don't need you to destroy the kingdom of the three tribes of Uhuan, nor do I need you to drive them out of the land of Chaha. But you have to let them know that it's okay to be enemies of the Great Han, but the anger of the Great Han Iron Rider is not something they can bear! I want you to plunge the long knife of the Great Han Iron Rider into their hearts, and carve in their hearts the brand that they will never dare to be enemies of the Han from now on! Let them understand that either they obey the Han or they will lose their country! ”

"Your Majesty respectfully obeys your Majesty's orders!"

Wei Qing asked again: "What about the Huns?" ”

"To the Huns," Liu Che said casually, "I cut a piece of Chaha land from the Huns last year, but it was just an innocent piece of flesh and skin, and this year I will remove one of the Huns' arms, so that their new successor Shan Yu knows that in front of the Han, it is better to have rules!" ”

Qin Cheng and Wei Qing glanced at each other, and they both saw the scorching battle intent in each other's eyes, and the two of them hugged their fists together and said, "The minister understands!" ”

"This expedition, how to fight, I will not restrict you." Liu Che looked at Qin Cheng and Wei Qing, revealing a rather sinister smile, and a little proud, "But there is one, only victory, not defeat!" ”

Liu Che's sinister and smug smile was naturally not aimed at the two courtiers in front of him, but these two young generals were the basis for him to be able to show such a smile with confidence.

Perhaps, Liu Che is already silently "praying" for some people in his heart?

......

Northern Army Barracks.

"How has the army been training these days?" Let people order the hussar battalion soldiers to assemble, Qin Cheng sat down in the big tent, and asked Liu Mu Dao, who was standing aside.

Maybe Chang'an is much more southerly than Shanggu, so the climate is much warmer and more humid, so since Liu Mu hit Chang'an, the face that was originally a little sick no matter how you look at it gradually ceased to be bloodless, but in this way, Qin Cheng felt that Liu Mu's face was really special now.

Liu Mu glanced at Qin Cheng lukewarmly, and said in a slightly stiff tone: "Everything is normal, the new soldiers are also old cavalry, there are not too many places to train, most of them are run-in with the old soldiers of the hussar battalion, there are months of training before the general, this month is not bad." ”

Qin Cheng glanced at Liu Mu strangely, then noticed the long sword on his waist, shook his head, and said: "The army has been equipped with a large number of ring-headed swords, all of which are made of stainless steel technology brought back by Zhang Qian from the Western Regions, which is much stronger than our previous saber, is it time for you to change this sword?" If I remember correctly, you've forged this sword a few times, right? ”

Liu Mu glanced at Qin Cheng, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he threw down a sentence and walked out of the big tent in a half-loud voice, "The general likes the new and hates the old, but the last general doesn't have that habit." ”

"Love the new and hate the old?" Qin Cheng muttered again, raised his head and said loudly to Liu Mu, who walked out of the big tent: "How can Ben like the new and hate the old?" ”

However, Liu Mu had already come out of the big tent and ignored Qin Cheng's words. Qin Cheng raised his eyebrows and said to himself, "Why do I think this guy means something else?" It's weird, why is this guy more and more like a, and it's so incomprehensible to speak? And that temper .... It's like a few days a month. ”

"General, all the soldiers have been assembled!" Qin Qingzhi came to report.

Qin Cheng nodded, stood up and walked out of the military tent, and walked to the school field to point the military platform.

When the hussar battalion was established, there were 10,000 soldiers, all of whom came from the Shanggu Tun army or the people of Shanggu, and then more than 4,000 people died in the grassland, leaving only more than 5,000 elites.

This time, 12,000 new soldiers were charged into the hussar camp, allowing Qin Cheng to command 18,000 hussars. It's just that how to keep the hussar battalion still in its true colors even though most of them are new pawns is the most important problem facing Qin Cheng.

In the face of the 18,000 hussar battalion soldiers, Qin Cheng did not have a long speech, and people with low self-esteem and a tendency to pretend to be forks liked to seize any opportunity to speak in front of the public. The officers and men of the whole battalion were summoned only to inform them that they were about to set out for the battle, and it only took one or two sentences to look back on yesterday's glory and look forward to tomorrow's achievements, and it only took a few words to emphasize discipline, because military discipline was never spoken.

After the lecture was finished, Qin Cheng called the heavy cavalry commander Ma Dashan and Shanjia, and the light cavalry commander Ji Zhu, Le Yi, Li Kang and others to the big tent to discuss the next battle arrangement.

Coming out of the barracks, it was dusk again, and when Qin Cheng hurried back to General Qin's mansion, he saw Xiao Rong'er, who must have learned the news of his return from Minyue, waiting for him in front of the door.

Xiao Rong'er sat on the stairs in front of the door, supporting her chin with both hands, squeezing a small mouth and a bulging little face, looking at the mud in front of her feet with her head down, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
