Chapter 442: The Smoke of the World Begins in the King's Heart (Second Update)

(After thinking about it, let's put the rest of the content into a new volume, starting with the fifth volume.) )

On the third day of the third month of the fifth year of Yuan Shuo, Yu Shan, the king of Dongyue, gathered a crowd to launch a rebellion, and forcibly requisitioned healthy men over the age of 16 and under the age of 40 from the land of Minyue into the army, and won 100,000 people. Then he raided South Vietnam and occupied the whole of South Vietnam in just 20 days, and then joined forces north, gathering a large army on the side of the Wulong River, intending to march into Hoi Ji.

On the eighth day of the first month of March, Liu An, the king of Huainan, and Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, gathered 100,000 troops to launch a rebellion, under the guise that the world is not ancient, and the traitorous ministers are in charge of the chaos of the country. On March 10, the combined forces of the two kings invaded Yingchuan, conquered Kunyang, and advanced to Yangyi. For a time, the rebels were unparalleled and mighty, and they even had the momentum to sweep Gyeonggi in one go.

At that time, Liu Che sent the right general Wei Qing to Huiji County to sit in the town to deal with the offensive of the Minyue army, and then sent the general Gongsun Ao to Yingchuan to resist the rebels of King Hengshan of Huainan.

This Gongsun Ao, is a son of the old scholar clan, has the name of both civil and military, how to lead the army and don't care first, the resignation is very good, every new resignation when he is young will also be widely spread in Chang'an, even the resignation of everyone Ximen Xiangru has been praised. After becoming an adult, Gongsun Ao entered the army to have qualifications, and also served as a border county guard, although he was not as good as Li Guang in the war against Hungary, he also had some fame. However, when Liu Che took the initiative to use troops against the Xiongnu for the first time, he ended up with a rash loss of troops, and 10,000 cavalry lost 7,000, and he also relied on paying money to save his life. After that time, he was also at home, but he was later reactivated with Li Guang. This time, the king of Huainan and the king of Hengshan rebelled, and Liu Che ordered Gongsun Ao's general and asked him to deal with the situation in Yingchuan first. Before leaving, Liu Che instructed Gongsun Ao not to seek a big victory, but to seek undefeated, as long as he held Yingchuan to Qincheng and rushed back from the Western Regions, it would be regarded as a great achievement.

And the reason why Qin Cheng remembers Gongsun Ao is because of a battle many years ago.

At that time, Qin Cheng had just come to this era, and for the first time he followed Li Guang on an expedition, and after killing the Xiongnu Left Bone Marquis at the mouth of the eagle, he retreated to Qiansang City with the army. At that time, the Xiongnu were powerful, and the Shanggu County Tun army was not enough to win the field battle, and several neighboring counties came to besiege the Xiongnu Zuoxian King outside Qiansang City with Li Guang on the order of Liu Che. Later, in the process of chasing King Zuo Xian, Qin Cheng almost slashed King Zuo Xian under the horse, but because Gongsun Ao robbed the military merits, he put an arrow in the distance, but the arrow did not hit King Zuo Xian, but hit Qin Cheng's heart, so that Qin Cheng lay sick for more than half a month.

Qin Cheng naturally remembered this clearly, not to say that he was holding grudges, nor was he talking about finding something back in the field, but he had to remember it first when he suffered a loss.

After understanding these situations, Qin Cheng asked Liu Che: "Your Majesty, I don't know how the battle between Yingchuan and Huiji County has been going on recently?" ”

"The first round of Minyue's offensive has been stopped, but this time Minyue's action is fast, but the preparation is not hasty, and it is still being consumed in Huiji County, because the main force of the southern army has been thrown into the Yingchuan battlefield, and there are not many troops in Huiji County, so Wei Qing can only be taken care of first, and it is best to win a big victory, it doesn't matter, as long as Yu Shan is not allowed to step through Huiji County, the problem is not big." Liu Che said, "As for Yingchuan, the army is currently on the defensive, one is to sharpen the spirit of the rebels, and the other is also waiting for you, General Zuo, to go to the town." ”

Qin Cheng shook his head, and the speed in his mind pondered.

Speaking of Qincheng since coming to this era, first to save his life for life, and then to live better, after fighting again and again, he unconsciously germinated the ambition to destroy the Xiongnu, and then, with the rise of the position and the expansion of the horizon, he wanted to establish a foundation for China that can be strong and prosperous for all generations, which is the new law and new learning. Because the Western Han Dynasty was the period of great establishment of everything in the land of China after the Qin Dynasty, many things were established at this time, which could affect the history of the next few thousand years.

Now, the new law has been implemented for more than three years, the new school has been published, and the Xiongnu are about to be destroyed, at this time, the rebellion of the king of Huainan, whether it is its spearhead directed at the new law, or its hindrance to the destruction of the Xiongnu, has extremely violated the bottom line of Qincheng. When it comes to the contents of their own bowl, no one wants to be spit on by others, let alone someone else to grab it. There is only one option in this situation, and that is a slap in the face.

"Your Majesty, Liaodong Military Report, 100,000 urgent!" While Qin Cheng and Liu Che were talking, a palace guard sergeant suddenly came to report.

"Bring it in." Qin Cheng was slightly shocked in his heart, Liu Che frowned, and said in a deep voice.

After Liu Che read the military newspaper, he easily threw the military newspaper to Qin Cheng, Qin Cheng took it and looked at it, his brows jumped slightly.

Wei's Joseon, attacking the right Beiping.

"Webster Korea? A mere Dongyi barbarian, dare to provoke my big man? Liu Che snorted coldly, extremely angry, and his expression could not hide his contempt, as if he had seen the most ridiculous thing in the world, "It's really ridiculous!" Okay, it's good, they all want to take advantage of the fire to rob and come to Dahan to get a piece of the pie? Then I sent an army to destroy his kingdom, and let them know what fear is and what is the wrath of the Son of Heaven! ”

Qin Cheng's eyelids lowered and he didn't speak.

"Qin Cheng, why don't you speak?"

"Your Majesty already has a plan in mind, why do you need to say more?" Qincheng Road.

"Oh?" Liu Che raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do you know that I already have a plan?" ”

"Whether it is the rebellion of the King of Huainan, or the turmoil in Minyue, or the Wei dynasty dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, I believe that His Majesty has been aware of these long before this." Qin Cheng said, "Since Your Majesty wants to wait until everything has surfaced before making a move, presumably with Your Majesty's strategy, you already have a plan in your heart, why do you need to be a courtier?" ”

This time, Liu Che was stunned, then laughed and looked at Qin Cheng, "I didn't expect you to be so confidant?" ”

Qin Cheng smiled slightly, and continued to say: "Your Majesty is eloquent, and it is just that you can't be a courtier, if you can't even do it, what qualifications do you have to help Your Majesty conquer the world?" ”

Liu Che laughed and was extremely happy, "I have courtiers like Qin Cheng, and great things can be accomplished." ”

Liu Che didn't say exactly what the great cause in his mouth was, and some words were always said on the table - the Han is a state of etiquette.

And now, Qin Cheng has been deeply shocked by Liu Che's ambition. And the reason for this shock is nothing else, it is today's tripartite beacon.

"The smoke of the three parties seems to be menacing, but it is just a small fight. The real henchmen of the Han Dynasty are still in the Xiongnu. Liu Che said, "Now that I have just taken the Western Regions from the mouth of the Huns, and now the smoke is everywhere in the Han Dynasty, do you think the Huns will miss the opportunity?" ”

"No, it won't." Qin Cheng affirmed, in fact, what he didn't say in his heart was that the Xiongnu, Wei's Joseon, Huainan Hengshan State, and Minyue, the four had already colluded, but now they are just doing things together, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Xiongnu to counterattack the Han Dynasty, and Yi Zhixian will definitely not miss it." ”

Liu Che nodded and muttered: "Minyue, Wei's Korea, Xiongnu, Huainan and Hengshan, now the Han is an enemy on all sides, and the situation is not grim." Qin Cheng, if you tell me the truth, are you sure that you will fight for me in all directions and settle the world? ”

Qin Cheng smiled, his smile was faint, but he could not hide his pride, "The eldest husband should immediately rush into battle, but the king is in the world." In this way, Fang lived up to His Majesty's trust and conferred the post of general on the minister. ”

"Good!" A good word, Liu Che said with a bold and dry cloud, and then showed a sly smile, and said something somewhat inexplicable that only Qin Cheng could understand, "You caused me to do everything in this world, so naturally I want you to settle it for me!" ”

"Commandment." Qincheng Road.

Liu Che waved his hand, "Go back and prepare to prepare, three days later, you will lead the army to Yingchuan, and first settle the king of Huainan and the king of Hengshan for me!" ”

"No!"

.........................................

When Qin Cheng came out of Weiyang Palace, he walked with Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo is Liu Che's close minister, belonging to the kind that can't be closer, Liu Che's summoning of Dongfang Shuo is not only limited to official business, but also when he is free, he will let Dongfang Shuo always accompany him. Who made Dongfang Shuo have the ability to entertain the king? Otherwise, he would not have been jokingly called a "rigoster" by Liu Che.

However, at this time, Dongfang Shuo is still different from the historical Dongfang Shuo that Qincheng is familiar with, Dongfang Shuo in history has really played the role of a "courtier" for a lifetime, and his profession amuses Liu Che, but now it is different, in addition to entertainment, Liu Che will also arrange Dongfang Shuo to do some serious things, which are not necessarily particularly important, but only close ministers are qualified to do things.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, it was nothing more than Dongfang Shuo's envy of Qin Cheng's current success, Qin Cheng drooled about the intimacy of Dongfang Shuo and Liu Che, that's it, Dongfang Shuo sighed, and said: "The situation of the Han Dynasty is not very good now, facing three beacons at the same time, these three parties have been gathering momentum for a long time, and the power of the sudden outbreak cannot be underestimated, and there are Huns in the north who have just suffered losses in the Western Regions, and they may raise a large army to go south at any time...... Smoke on all sides, this time you're in a hurry. ”

Qin Cheng walked down the stairs, his eyes jumped over the palace wall, jumped over the roof of the Chang'an residence, and jumped into the distance, "Burnt out?" Where does this begin? ”

"Isn't it?" Dongfang Shuo said, "Although I have never been in the army again, I also know that fighting on two fronts is not a blessing for a country. Moreover, now the Han Dynasty is already facing a three-front battle, and it is possible to fight on all sides, and it will have to face a strong opponent like the Xiongnu. You, General Zuo, can you not be anxious and tired of coping? ”

Qin Cheng stopped and looked at Dongfang Shuo seriously, "Do you think that if the smoke is everywhere today, the Han is in a situation where the enemy is on all sides, is it Your Majesty's mistake?" ”

Dongfang Shuo didn't speak, and his demeanor was acquiescence.

Qin Cheng said slowly: "If you think like this, you will underestimate Your Majesty too much!" As he spoke, Qin Cheng's eyes turned to Chang'an, to the world outside Chang'an, and said in a loud voice: "You underestimated Your Majesty's strategy, and even more underestimated Your Majesty's ambitions." ”

"Ambition?" Dongfang Shuo followed Qin Cheng's gaze and was stunned.

"It's more appropriate to say ambition, Your Majesty's heart ......," Qin Cheng pointed ahead, "pretending to be the whole world." ”
