Chapter 147: The Resurgence of the Great Army
Wei Qing won a complete victory over the Huns in World War II, and Liu Che, who was in Chang'an, was excited all night when he heard the news, and summoned Prime Minister Sun Hong and Imperial Doctor Zhang Ou overnight.
Although Gongsun Hong was old, he was also very happy to hear the news: "Your Majesty, this force has been eliminated, and the border troubles in the Yanmen area can be eliminated, congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
Liu Che, Gongsun Hong, and Zhang Ou pointed and drew around the map that Zhang Qian brought back from Hexi.
Wei Qing's victory made the stone in Liu Che's heart fall, and he sighed in his heart that Wei Qing did not disappoint him again.
"Zhang Ou, I want to give a big reward, and you have to give me a list of military merits." After Liu Che finished speaking, he sighed: "The soldiers did not disappoint me, and I must not let the soldiers down!" ”
"No." Zhang Ou replied.
Gongsun Hong was also excited when he saw it, so he began to report on the affairs of the vassal states: "Your Majesty, Wei Qing has won a major victory in this expedition, and the old minister thinks that it is better to let him return to Beijing as soon as possible. ”
Liu Che summoned the two ministers of the Three Princes for this purpose, because Liu Che got a danger report from Dong Xuanxu, and some vassal states were plotting to raise troops.
"I also mean this, although Wei Qing's victory played a role in knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, but the vassal states are still not honest, and Dong Xuanxu, the general of Pingnan, said that the king of Huainan has moved!" Liu Che said calmly.
After hearing this, Gongsun Hong stepped forward directly and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to think about it directly, the vassal states have so many independent powers, especially military power, sooner or later something will happen." ”
After Gongsun Hong finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Ou for a while and continued: "The old minister has also communicated with Lord Zhang, and the current local officials are not very obedient, and I heard before the war that His Majesty stopped setting up the assassination history......
"Aren't they happy? Yes! The more Liu Che listened, the more angry he became, and the dignified son of heaven was surrounded by dangers, and he secretly swore in his heart that he must promote reform and concentrate power in Chang'an, which is necessary.
"Then let Wei Qing not come back, tell Wei Qing, continue to march north, beat the Huns down for me, I want to see which prince and king dare to raise troops to force the palace." Liu Che said angrily.
Gongsun Hong saw that Liu Che was moved by the anger of thunder, and he also knew that it was angry to let Wei Qing go north, so he persuaded him: "Your Majesty, no, internal and external troubles, the army can't fight for a long time." ”
Seeing this, Zhang Ou also persuaded: "Your Majesty, what the prime minister said is very true, withdraw troops to deter the country and calm the people's hearts. ”
Liu Che calmed down relatively calmly, walked to the map again, looked at the long border line, looked at the hostile forces marked one by one, and he had a long-term plan in his heart.
Step by step, we must make all these hostile forces disappear.
"Passing the decree, Wei Qing immediately returned to Chang'an, and the army followed, I want to see him!" After Liu Che finished speaking, he walked towards the apse, and the qi in his heart had reached the critical point where he was about to explode.
After Liu Che left, Gongsun Hong and Zhang Ou walked side by side, and Gongsun Hong asked, "Lord Zhang, I wonder if Liu Ling, the daughter of the King of Huainan, has been to your mansion?" ”
Zhang Ou broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, Liu Ling did come to the house before the war, and he also said some words to woo himself: "Don't hide it from the prime minister, I've been here, but it's just an official ......"
"Okay, as long as Master Zhang has a fixed mind." Gongsun Hong didn't want to make it clear.

Yanmen County.
Li Xi, Gongsun Ao, Gongsun He, Su Jian, Wu Lin and other generals discussed the next battle plan, and Wei Qing walked in from the outside with a serious face with the holy decree in his hand.
"Your Majesty, did you let you continue to march north and destroy this group of Hu people!" Wu Lin looked a little excited, he killed more than 100 enemies in this battle, and captured more than 30 leaders of various kinds.
Wei Qing did not speak after looking at everyone, but walked to the handsome chair, handed over the holy decree to Ruoyao and said, "Tomorrow, Ben will return to Chang'an, and Wu Lin will go back with Ruoyao to escort a group of prisoners." ”
"Escort back to Chang'an?" Li Xi was a little puzzled, didn't he say that it was all handed over to the Taishou of Yanmen County?
Wei Qing never made the capture of King Cumin Powell public, he knew that once it was made public, the generals in front of him would definitely not be calm, and the people of Yanmen County, who had been oppressed by the Xiongnu for a long time, were afraid that they would have to let King Cumin die.
However, in Wei Qing's view, the role of King Cumin alive is greater than that of King Cumin's death, so King Cumin cannot die, at least not now.
Wei Qing got up and said, "Su Jian! ”
"The end will be." Su Jian got up and obeyed the order.
Wei Qing stepped forward and patted Su Jian's shoulder heavily, and then said: "After the general leaves, you will be responsible for the Tiger Ben Army, and you must withdraw safely and steadily." ”
This is a great responsibility, and it is the first time in Su Jian's life, so he said: "No! ”
There is also a reason why Wei Qing appointed Su Jian, although Su Jian did not kill many enemies in this battle, and he did not have great achievements, but this person is steady, not just a reckless general who can only train and kill.
But Wei Qing also knew that his appointment would definitely cause many generals to be unconvinced.
Really. Wei Qing's arrangement made several other generals a little dissatisfied, especially Gongsun Ao and others.
Seeing that the faces of several generals were darkened, Wei Qing said solemnly: "You all have to act according to General Su Jian's orders, and those who violate it will be beheaded, understand?" ”
"No." Gongsun Ao and the others replied weakly.
Wei Qing squeezed his fist and roared: "Understood!" ”
Wei Qing's roar really reached the hearts of several generals, and everyone shouted in unison: "No." ”
Walking out of the lobby, Wei Qing, Wu Lin and Ruoyao ran straight to King Cumin.
At this time, the cumin king Powell and his nobles were entertained with good food and drink, and they were not mistreated.
But he is also accepting the torment in his heart, this is the whole clan, if he is exterminated by the Han, it will be over.
Seeing that Wei Qing was coming, King Cumin put down the things in his hand and saluted Wei Qing respectfully.
"King cumin, tomorrow you will return to Chang'an with your noble tribe with this general." After Wei Qing finished speaking, he began to look at Powell, as if he was looking for something.
Finally, his eyes fell on something on King cumin's waist, which was a jade pendant that symbolized the king.
"Bring it!" Wei Qing spread his hands.
This jade pendant is not an ordinary jade pendant, in the Xiongnu, this is a symbol of power status, and the king of cumin is reluctant.
Seeing this, Wu Lin stepped forward and violently withdrew from King Cumin's waist and handed it to Wei Qing.
Wei Qing observed carefully: "Don't be nervous, walk out of this gate with this thing, you won't survive the day after tomorrow." ”
King Cumin understood, walked out of this house, and once he met an expert, he would be miserable.
However, Wei Qing really swallowed this jade pendant, because this is a trophy, and he wants to give it to one person.
In the evening, Wu Lin was in charge of the count, and the number of the noble tribes of King Cumin was reconfirmed.
The rest of the people who were not related to the noble tribe were all handed over to the Taishou of Yanmen County.
Early the next morning, the three of them took the captives and headed for the pass.
