Chang'an, Jianzhang Palace.

The autumn sunshine falls on the lake in front of Penglai Pavilion, sparkling and beautiful.

"Prime Minister, please ......" Under the guidance of a small eunuch, Prime Minister Liu Quyu walked into the corridor respectfully, and then saw the figure of the Son of Heaven.

"Hee-hee-hee...... Sister Rou Niang, you're coming to arrest me......"

"Sister Nanling, I'm here......"

In the distance, the two little princesses are in the rockery, you chase me, and you are so happy.

And the Son of Heaven stood in the gazebo with a fatherly smile on his face, watching all this.

When Liu Quyu saw it, he immediately walked cautiously, tiptoeing, and didn't dare to make any sound.

Because, he knew that what the Son of Heaven hated most now was that someone disturbed him and teased those two little princesses.

Not long ago, a marquis who returned to Beijing from Guangchuan to report on his work was hated by the Son of Heaven because he collided with these two little princesses, so Zong Zhengqing casually found a reason to cut 500 households.

"Your Majesty......" Liu Quyu knelt down carefully, bowed his head and bowed again: "Prime Minister Liu Quyu greets Your Majesty!" ”

"The prime minister is here?" The Son of Heaven did not look back, he was still full of interest, looking at the play between his beloved daughter and the righteous daughter in the distance with a smile on his face, and asked casually: "But what is the important matter?" But the tone was clear: If you come to disturb me if you have nothing to do, then don't blame me for cleaning up your attitude.

Liu Quyu bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has just received an urgent report from the second division general Hai Xihou, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately entered the palace to ask His Majesty for instructions......

"Is it a matter of the Qiang people?" The Son of Heaven still has that indifferent demeanor: "Just ask the general of the second division to deal with it himself......"

"No matter how many Qiang people there are, can An shake the wall on the west side of the river?"

In the more than 30 years of construction of the empire, barriers, fortresses, and fortresses have been built in strategic points and key locations throughout Hexi.

A side wall connecting the Great Wall of Qin to Juyan and Yumen was also built.

The huge project envelops the entire Hexi within a secure defense system.

Li Guangli was directly responsible for commanding and controlling the largest and strongest mobile corps of the Han Empire.

An elite cavalry with a scale of more than 40,000 can be assembled anytime and anywhere, and when fighting on the inner line, it can command and control more than 100,000 infantry cavalry regiments.

Attacking the strategic points of the Xiongnu may also require the support of grain, grass, troops, and funds from the central government.

But according to the danger, relying on the side walls and fortresses, the Qiang people in the defense area, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, even if they send a pig to defend it.

If Li Guangli can't even do this little thing.

Then he simply didn't want to be embarrassed outside, quickly abdicated to make way for Xian, and handed over the command of the Hexi Han army and the Han army to more capable young people - such as General Yingyang!

In short, after having a new and more capable choice, and at the same time more liking him, this great Han emperor, like all kings, became a big pig's trotter, completely forgetting the trust, pampering and generosity he once had for Li Guangli.

If it weren't for Li Guangli's ability to be okay and more obedient, and at the same time, he had been operating in Hexi and Juyan for more than ten years, and he knew the situation in the Western Regions well.

This majesty is probably already thinking about how to change generals.

Even so, attitudes are cooling down at a visible rate.

Just like this time, after receiving Li Guangli's recital and report, the Son of Heaven did not even convene Jiuqing as in the past, assigned tasks, and asked for the full support and cooperation of Yousi, but only issued an edict ordering Shaofu and Dasi Nong to make every effort to ensure the supply of Hexi.

Liu Quyu is of course obsessed with all this.

He bowed his head and bowed again, and said, "Your Majesty, things have changed a little new......

"This is an urgent report from the general of the second division, please look at it ...... Your Majesty"

As he spoke, he held a silk book in his hand and held it high in both hands.

The Son of Heaven finally turned around, took the silk book, spread it out and looked at it, his face changed suddenly, and when he finished reading it, the big man's cheeks were already murderous: "The cheap slave dares to kill the master?" ”

On the silk book is Li Guangli's report on the discovery of evidence that the nobles of the Hehuangyue clan had fornication, contact and even alliance with the Qiang people.

These evidences not only include human witnesses, but Li Guangli is even more conclusive, saying that there is conclusive physical evidence.

In addition, Li Guangli also said that behind the Qiang people and the Yueshi people there is the shadow of the Xiongnu.

This made this majesty unbearable.

Whether it is the Qiang people or the Yueshi people, they are just scabies, jumping clowns, they are powerless to fight against the powerful and elite Han army.

However, when they joined forces with the Xiongnu, they could pose a strong threat to the Han migration in Hexi.

It took more than 30 years for the Son of Heaven to gather millions of immigrants to march into Heshuo and Hexi, and establish counties in the local area.

This is his actual achievement, and it is also where he has always been proud.

Expand the territory and immigrate to the real border.

Now, someone wants to undermine his exploits, the basis of his future historical evaluation.

How can this be endured?

Not to mention, there is also a two-five boy in it.

And what His Majesty hates the most in his life is Erwuzai!

"Come on, summon Dahonglu Dai Ren, Zhijin Wu Wang Mang, and the imperial servant Shangguan Ji and Shangshu order Zhang Anshi to come here to see me immediately!" The Son of Heaven blushed and ordered left and right.

"No!" Immediately a eunuch took the order and left.

Liu Quyu bowed again: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Summoning the Great Honglu to participate in the negotiation of war, which in the Han dynasty was equivalent to the country's decision to launch a large-scale war above the scale of the campaign.

Because, Da Honglu was not only responsible for diplomacy, but also responsible for supervising the vassal states and vassals, and also controlled the cavalry captains of the six well-trained subject states.

Five of them are deployed in the grasslands and pastures from the Hetao to the west of the river.

And these cavalry of the subject country, except for Huiqu, a tribe that has a close relationship with the Han family and has been assimilated very deeply.

The cavalry of other subject countries is the army, and the ugly thing is a group of robbers, madmen, and bandits!

During the Dawan War, what scared the Dawan people the most under Li Guangli was not the powerful Han cavalry, but the thousands of nominal cavalry under his command.

These guys, what they do best is slaughter!

Especially the slaughter of the weak.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Han army was reluctant to recruit the cavalry of the subject country to participate in the war.

But once recruited, usually these guys will definitely cause a lot of kills as long as they are involved in the battle!

Because, the reward given to them by the Han family is the income from the looting in the battle.

Now, the Son of Heaven summoned Da Honglu to the meeting, almost undisguised to express his anger - Erwuzai must die!

This made Liu Quyu very happy.

This not only allowed him to achieve his goal, but also allowed Li Guangli to gain more support and resources.

More importantly, this means that in the second half of this year, the country's resources will be tilted to Li Guangli as much as possible.

As a result, after General Yingyang returned to Beijing, he could only pick his feet at home.

If you take into account the time spent recuperating after the end of the war and the time spent consolidating the results of the war and restoring resources and supplies.

Well, at least let this General Yingyang pick his feet for a year!

In this way, the impact of his great victory and the momentum brought by Xinfeng's yield of seven stones per mu will be diluted by time.

As a result, it missed the best opportunity to rise and seize power.

From this point of view, in fact, even if the Qiang and Yueshi people don't jump, Liu Quyu and Li Guangli will try their best to create a crisis and detonate the war.

In other words, to a certain extent, the linkage between the Qiang people, the Yueshi people and the Huns this time was actually the intention of Li Guangli and Liu Quyu group.

Otherwise......

Whether it's the Yue's people or the Qiang people, how can it be so easy to get on the line?

Although the new generation of the Hehuangyue clan has gradually relaxed their awe and kindness for the Han family, there are still many people who are pro-Han or even loyal to Han.

Moreover, the Qiang people and the Yue people have been fighting and competing in the Huangshui Valley for more than 20 years, and they have a deep hatred and blood hatred for each other, even if they want to contact and form an alliance, it is not so simple.

After all, reality is not an RPG game, and with a click of the mouse, the character can move forward and backward.

Not to mention, the copper wall laid by the Han family in Hexi almost completely cut off the possibility of the Qiang people going east out of Huangshui, crossing Hexi, and contacting the Xiongnu.

Now, these three old rivals have come together.

If no one releases water, who will believe it?

Even if it was not Li Guangli and Liu Quyu's instructions, it was also a decision made privately by the cronies around them.

And this is Masaji!

As long as it is beneficial to oneself, then it does not matter the bottom line and principles.

Hugh said that he had created a crisis by releasing water on the enemy.

It is to raise self-respect, and to hold coercion, and it is not that no one has done it.

Of course, even if Liu Quyu understands these things in his heart, they will all rot in his stomach.

What's more, he actually doesn't know the specific situation very well.

It's just a vague premonition.

Therefore, he was overjoyed and said goodbye: "The minister will go and reply to the general of the second division......"

"This is not in a hurry...... the Son of Heaven smiled, beckoned to Liu Quyu, motioned for him to step forward, and then said: "Since the prime minister is here, the prime minister will tell me that Zhang Zizhong returned to Beijing in the middle of the service, and the deployment and arrangements made by the court for the triumph of the king master ......"

When Liu Quyu heard this, the PH value in his heart suddenly rose rapidly.

But he has no choice, he is the prime minister, no matter how sour, this matter is also his duty and task.

Even, he must find ways to follow the Son of Heaven's wishes, try his best to build momentum for the other party's victory, and hold an unprecedented program of prisoner sacrifice, parade and celebration for him.

There was no way, Liu Quyu could only force a smile and smile at the plan he had discussed with the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jing Zhaoyin and Shaofu Yousi, picked up the key points and keys, painted his voice, and pretended to be 'very happy' to introduce it to the Son of Heaven as much as possible.

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he was very satisfied, nodded, and said, "The prime minister has done a good job!" My athletes will return triumphantly, and they will be congratulated by the world! ”

After thinking about it, he added: "However, there are still some problems in the prime minister's plan......"

"For example......

The Son of Heaven pointed out six or seven questions in a row, either because he didn't think it was grand enough, or because he didn't think it was grand enough.

made Liu Quyu listen more and more sourly, but he could only say yes according to the head, write it down by heart, and ensure that it will be corrected.
