In the autumn of the second year of Yuan Shuo, the Xiongnu invaded Yuyang, Yanmen and other places.

When the news came, the Northern Army was shaken.

"Since the defeat in Hexi in the autumn of the first year of Yuanshuo, the officers and men of our northern army have been heartbroken, looking forward to the opportunity for revenge day and night. Now, 120,000 soldiers of the Northern Army have been completed, and the Huns dare to invade our Yuyang and Yanmen, which is simply a tiger's mouth. Before the battle, Wei Qing said this when he mobilized before the battle in the northern army camp.

What is different from the past is that this time to meet the Xiongnu army, Liu Che did not send Qincheng to lead the hussar battalion, but asked Wei Qing to lead the army of 50,000 and fight against the Xiongnu.

After nearly a year of development, the first and second phases of the new law have been implemented and achieved good results, and the third stage of the new law needs to be implemented urgently to completely complete the new law.

In fact, over the years, the hussar battalion has indeed been in the limelight, and no matter how you say it, it has given credit to other officers and men of the Northern Army, especially after the defeat in Hexi last year, everyone in the Northern Army is thinking hard about revenge, and the hussar battalion cannot monopolize military merits.

If Qin Cheng does not go on an expedition, he can only march for Wei Qing and others in the Northern Army.

"Brother Wei went out this time, leading an army of 50,000 alone, even exceeding the number of troops invaded by the Huns, which has never been seen in the history of the Han Dynasty against the Huns. Qin Cheng pulled Wei Qing and said.

Wei Qing's expression was slightly excited, and he said with great ambition: "I will definitely do my best this time not to disappoint Brother Qin and His Majesty." ”

"Okay, I'll celebrate you when we triumph!" Qin Cheng encouraged.

After bidding farewell to Wei Qing, Qin Cheng went to bid farewell to another general.

Previously, when the news of the entry of the Xiongnu came, Liu Che not only let Wei Qing lead the troops to the battle, but also issued an edict to re-employ Li Guang and appoint him as the county guard of Youbeiping.

"I have said before that the general must have a time to make contributions to the Han Dynasty again, and this time His Majesty will use the general to prove that my words are not wrong." When bidding farewell to Li Guang, Qin Cheng said with a smile.

"Haha!" Li Guang laughed heartily, "Since Your Majesty can still afford the old man, the old man should do his best to share his worries for His Majesty!" Others dare not say that the Huns will never think about moving a grass and a tree in Beiping in the future, but the old man dares to guarantee this! ”

"The general's words made people's blood boil." Qin Cheng said, his face immediately straightened, and he said solemnly: "General, Youbeiping is located in the northeast, not far from Wei's North Korea. I look at Wei's North Korea's behavior over the years, and I guess that he has a restless mind. When the general arrived in Youbeiping, he hoped to be more careful. ”

"Webster Korea?" Li Guang was suddenly surprised, "Your Majesty didn't mention this matter to the old man!" ”

"Your Majesty didn't mention it, and the general must not ignore it." Qin Cheng Zhengse said, "If Wei's North Korea makes a reckless move, Youbeiping will bear the brunt, and the general must not be on guard." General, listening to Qin Cheng's words, you can't be wrong! ”

"Good!" Li Guang hugged his fist to Qin Cheng, "The old man is careful!" ”

"General, let's go!" Qin Cheng also clenched his fists.

Those races on the Korean Peninsula and its surroundings have never been settled, and this Qin Cheng knows it. In the history of that period in memory, there was indeed a war between the Han and Wei Korea, although the scale could not be compared with the war with the Xiongnu.

Bidding farewell to Li Guang, Qin Cheng rushed home. Although he is busy with political affairs now, Bai Xinxin's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and Qin Cheng looks at it from time to time, which is really a little unsteady. For this reason, Liu Che also said that he would let Qin Cheng take care of him at home more - I'm afraid this is one of the reasons why Liu Che didn't let Qin Cheng go on the expedition.

Now, Bai Xinxin is nine months pregnant, and she will give birth in a few moments, and Xiao Rong'er will take care of all the affairs at home. Although Xiao Rong'er is a little out of tune on weekdays, she has really grown a lot these days, and she cooks well at home and abroad.

Not only that, Qin Yue also came over from time to time to take care of him. This is the first time that the Qin family has added Ding, and everyone naturally attaches great importance to it and is very nervous.

"General, have you thought of a name for the future major general?" In her spare time, Xiao Rong'er asks this question the most.

"This matter is confidential, and it will depend on the situation." Qin Cheng said perfunctorily.

"Depending on the situation? What's the situation? Xiao Rong'er's face was full of doubts.

"The situation, it's a boy or a girl." Qincheng Road.

"What if it's a dragon and phoenix fetus?" Xiao Rong'er asked.

"......," Qin Cheng thought for a moment, "Then it's better to call Qin Long and Qin Feng." ”

"......" Xiao Rong'er shook off Qin Cheng for a while, "I'm too lazy to tell you, liar!" ”

After Xiao Rong'er left, Bai Xinxin lay on the recliner designed and built by Qincheng, stroked her stomach and said gently: "General, in fact, the concubine is also very curious about the general to get the name of the child!" Why don't you tell the concubine first? ”

"You're in such a hurry?" Qin Cheng turned his head around, a little embarrassed in Bai Xinxin's affirmative eyes, and said, "Actually, I really haven't thought about it...... I used to think about it a lot, but I always felt that it was not good enough, after all, it was the first time I encountered such a thing, I had no experience, and I was very entangled! ”

"Giggles!" Bai Xinxin laughed out loud when she heard this, "It turns out that there can be something in this world that makes it difficult for a general to be like this?" ”

Qin Cheng glanced at Bai Xinxin, "If you think about it, I will agree unconditionally to everything you come up with, how about it?" ”

"Really?" Bai Xinxin's eyes lit up, and she was a little flattered, after all, it was the man's prerogative to name the child at this time, and the woman had no room to speak.

"When did I turn away from you? That's it! Qin Cheng clapped his hands and said, "Seeing that you are so excited, you should already have the bottom in your heart." So I don't have to worry about it, haha! ”

Bai Xinxin glanced at Qin Cheng with disgust, "How can a general be so irresponsible?" ”

"Where am I being irresponsible? This is called the need for a rational division of labor in revolutionary work......" Qin Cheng said in a righteous manner.

As she was talking, Bai Xinxin suddenly said, "Ah! "General, he kicked me!" ”

Qin Cheng was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly leaned down to listen, and shouted: "Kick again, kick again......"

Bai Xinxin laughed and laughed, and suddenly said firmly: "He has so much strength, he should be a boy!" ”

"Huh?" Qin Cheng looked at Bai Xinxin, and already understood what she meant, after all, men and women are cheap, Bai Xinxin wanted to give birth to a boy for herself. Qin Cheng smiled: "It's okay for boys and girls, as long as it's born to you, it's fine!" ”

"Really?"

"Again?"

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

"Master, I have a guest asking to see you!" Qin Cheng and Bai Xinxin were happy, and the servant came over to ask for instructions.

"Who?" Qin Cheng turned his head and asked.

"That man called himself Dong Zhongshu." The servant replied.

"Dong Zhongshu?" Qin Cheng was surprised, and the tunnel: "Take the guests to wait in the main hall!" ”

"No!"

"I can't see Dr. Dong's visit." Qin Cheng said to Bai Xinxin, stood up, straightened his clothes, "I'll send you back to the room first." ”

Doctor, in the Qin and Han dynasties, he was an official in charge of books and classics and was well versed in historical affairs.

"Since Dr. Dong is visiting, the general should go quickly, and don't neglect others." Bai Xinxin understood, "Didn't the general always say that he wanted to find a Confucian master? Now that the people are coming, the general must grasp it. ”

Qin Cheng smiled, "I'm afraid this Dr. Dong is too stubborn." ”

When Qin Cheng arrived at the main hall, Dong Zhongshu had been waiting for a long time.

"I don't know Dr. Dong, I haven't been far away, forgive my sins!" Qin Cheng smiled and bowed to Dong Zhongshu, and then ordered the servant to serve tea.

"I take the liberty to come and disturb, and I hope that the general will not be strange." Dong Zhongshu is slightly thin, with a graceful demeanor and an elegant atmosphere.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Qin Cheng said: "I heard that Dr. Dong is now the prime minister of Jiangdu Yi Wang Liu Feiguo, how can he have time to come to the cold house?" ”

"Don't hide it from the general, the old man has resigned from the post of Jiangdu Yi Kingdom Minister." Dong Zhongshu said frankly.

"Oh, I don't know why?" Qin Cheng asked.

"Because of the Great General." Dong Zhongshu said in a surprising voice, "To be precise, it is because of the new law implemented by the general. ”

Qin Cheng realized.

At that time, Dong Zhongshu expounded Confucianism as "three outlines and five constants", and put forward the views of "great unification" and "heaven and man induction", which was adopted by Liu Che, after which Liu Che deposed Confucianism alone, and Confucianism has always been the official philosophy and governing thought. Now, although the implementation of the new law has not directly shaken the foundation of Confucianism, how can it not be seen that behind the implementation of the new law by Qin Cheng and others, there is a great practice of legalism?

In this way, the contradiction comes.

The contradiction between Confucianism and Legalism has inevitably erupted, and in general, it cannot be reconciled.

However, Qin Cheng still didn't figure out why Dong Zhongshu resigned at this time, could it be that he wanted to free up his hands and want to fight himself to the end?

So Qin Cheng said directly: "Didn't ask the doctor for his intention?" ”

"The general is a lawyer, and the old is a Confucian, so there is no big conflict." Dong Zhongshu said slowly, "But since Lao Yu once advised His Majesty to depose the Hundred Schools of Confucianism, he can't accept that there are more Legalists in the Han Dynasty to destroy the great prosperity of Confucianism." The so-called use of government must be autocratic. However, as far as you and I are concerned, this is still an academic dispute, and I came to the General's Mansion today to discuss the Tao with the General, and talk about this Legalist and Confucianism. ”
