There was no major event a year ago, and the friction between the hussar battalion and other officers and soldiers of the Northern Army was just an ordinary event in the life of the Qincheng military camp that was not an episode. These days come and go is training, the position of the general of the Northern Army does not need to manage too many things, Qin Cheng is not a lieutenant after all, and the lieutenant may have more things.

However, this is also a good thing for Qincheng, who is actually not familiar with Chang'an City and Qincheng himself, and he is not familiar with people and places. When I was on vacation, I naturally had to get together with Han Anguo, Gongsun He and others, and when the new residence in Qincheng was completed, although it was not a big deal, people I knew well also came to visit.

Qin Cheng has basically gained a firm foothold in Chang'an now, and so far, it seems that there is no one who can't get along with him, and the situation is very good. The hussar camp trained all day, but there was no movement in the affairs of the chamber of commerce. Speaking of which, the current position of the Chamber of Commerce established by Nangong Shang is a little embarrassing, the Chamber of Commerce was originally a product of the self-sufficiency of the Shanggu Military Camp, and now the Hussar Battalion can eat the imperial grain without pressure, and the mission of the Chamber of Commerce is a little vague.

A thing that has no meaning of existence is going to die sooner or later, Qin Cheng was also worried about this, and he also discussed some with Nangong Shang for this. But if you think about it carefully, you don't have to worry too much, since Liu Che asked Nangong Shang to come to Chang'an, there must be an arrangement. Qin Cheng always thought that after Zhang Qian returned from the Western Regions, the Chamber of Commerce should be useful, but judging from the current situation, it seems that the estimation of the situation is too optimistic.

On this day off, when Qin Cheng returned home, Bai Xinxin told him a strange thing.

"I received an invitation today, asking the general to go to the banquet today!" Bai Xinxin took out an invitation card and handed it to Qin Cheng, "The person who sent the post sent the post and left, which is a little strange to say." ”

Qin Cheng took the post and looked at it, his expression suddenly became weird, and he felt a little uncomfortable as if he had goosebumps. Well, the signature of this post turned out to be Liu Ling, the owner of the Weng.

Neither Qin Cheng nor Lei was told Bai Xinxin about Liu Ling, so Bai Xinxin just saw this post, and he didn't know who this Liu Ling was.

Qin Cheng felt the need to reveal some information to Bai Xinxin, so he said, "Do you know who this Liu Ling is?" Speaking of which, this mausoleum lord is also a wonder, she was a relative of the emperor, and she loved Your Majesty very much when she was young, and she once expressed her heart to Your Majesty in front of everyone, but let Your Majesty refuse. Annoyed and angry, this mausoleum lord broke the jar and broke it, fully carried forward the style, and fell asleep when he saw who was pleasing to the eye, and I don't know how many men have slept over the years. It's such a wonderful person.,But I posted it today.,It seems that I'm also worried about her! ”

Bai Xinxin was stunned when she heard this, probably because she didn't expect that there was such a woman in this world, seeing that Qin Cheng was still laughing, she took back the post in Qin Cheng's hand, and said with wide eyes: "Such a woman, don't go!" ”

"Even if you don't say it, I don't have any interest in such women." Qin Cheng said with a smile.

While the two were talking, a servant came to report that someone in the palace had come to pass the word, and Qin Cheng saw the messenger and was told that Liu Che had ordered Qin Cheng to enter the palace to meet him.

......

Liu Che didn't seem to like to sit in the room of the Xuanshu Palace, which was vast but dull, and this time he came with Qin Cheng, as well as Li Guangweiqing, and they were called by Liu Che to a pavilion outside the Xuanshu Palace.

The layout of the pavilion is very simple, with eight pillars and octagonal tops, dark lacquer and tiles, because of the cold weather at the moment, there are gauze tents around the pavilion fluttering slightly in the wind. It stands to reason that it should be very cold here, but Liu Che, who was sitting in the middle of the pavilion, didn't seem to feel anything, or that he deliberately wanted to choose such a place for today's conversation.

Qin Cheng and Li Guang Wei Qing walked into the pavilion, Liu Che let the three of them sit down, and said: "After the war with the Xiongnu last time, I have been looking for an opportunity to call you all together to discuss the experience, I have already talked a lot with Wei Qing and Li Guang before, this time I mainly want to hear Qin Cheng's opinion." I know that you are very flexible and can have a different opinion, so you don't have to say what others have said. ”

Qin Cheng saw Liu Che looking at him with a smile, and bowed and said: "Your Majesty asked the minister to talk about his humble opinion, and the minister naturally knows everything and everything, but the minister now doesn't know what General Li and General Wei said before......"

"You don't have time to listen to them repeat everything they've said before." Liu Che interrupted Qin Cheng's words and waved his hand, smiling a little banteringly.

Qin Cheng sighed in his heart, so he had to say, "So the minister will talk about it." But before that, the minister dared to ask Your Majesty, what is Your Majesty's plan for the Xiongnu next? ”

"Of course, I want to destroy the Huns, and there will be no border troubles forever! Why, does General Qin have any doubts about this? Liu Che said.

Wei Qing and Li Guang glanced at each other, and they both found that Liu Che's attitude seemed to be a little unusual today.

Qin Cheng said in his heart, Your Majesty, what kind of answer are you, it is clear that I am being tested, right? Well, since you don't say it, then no wonder I say more.

Qin Cheng straightened his body, no longer had any scruples, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, in the last war against the Huns, His Majesty made wise decisions, strategized, controlled the overall situation, and commanded if he was determined, so that our army would win a big victory. First, the cavalry of the Han army is not weak, but it is still insufficient to adapt to the grassland operations, if the Han army wants to gallop the grassland, or defeat the Xiongnu in a decisive battle, the Han army still needs to experience; In order to shorten the transportation line of military supplies, Chang'an must build a military town on the border and train troops. Once the war starts, the Han army rushes to the grassland, and it can start and fall; The three ......"

When Qin Cheng said this, he glanced up at Liu Che, and saw that Liu Che's face was not abnormal, so he boldly said: "Innovate the tactics, the cavalry can win a quick victory, and the cooperation of the arms can win a big victory, especially the light and heavy cavalry should rely on each other......"

Qin Cheng's statement is like a river for nearly half an hour! It's not that he doesn't know how to streamline, but there is really no way to streamline, during which he secretly looked at Liu Che's face countless times, and saw that Liu Che didn't mean to talk too much at all, so he kept talking.

After speaking, Qin Cheng concluded: "What the minister means, that's pretty much it, Your Majesty Mingjian." ”

Almost? Well, yes or nothing.

Now it's different from the past, if it was to meet Liu Che in the past, Qin Cheng would definitely not say it for so long, but now it's not a different identity, naturally a few taels of ink in your stomach have to be poured out, so that the king can know how many catties and taels you have, and he can also think about where to mention you in the future. Qin Cheng still has some understanding of the tricks of courtiers selling their ink to the king in ancient times. Don't talk about it far away, let's just say Dongfang Shuo, he wrote 3,000 books, and let Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty read it for a month to finish it, isn't that what it means?

If you say less, you seem to have no level and no connotation, which is different from the speeches of later leaders.

After Qin Cheng finished speaking, Liu Che groaned for a while, and then asked, "Finished?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is finished." Qin Cheng leaned over and said, in fact, the tone was clear that he hadn't finished speaking.

Liu Che snorted, and did not rush to express his opinion, but asked Wei Qing and Li Guang, "What do you think?" ”

Wei Qing and Li Guang were afraid that they couldn't remember what Qin Cheng said, only to see one of them spitting and the other listening to it with relish, so they could only listen with their ears pricked up, and then they heard Liu Che ask, and both of them said: "What General Qin said is very ......."

In fact, what Qin Cheng just said, Wei Qing and Li Guang may not have thought of it, but they didn't think as deeply as Qin Cheng, after all, Qin Cheng came from a later generation, and it was normal to be a little prescient, could it be that Qin Cheng told them that in fact, what I said was just implemented by His Majesty a few years later...... The reason why the two of them were a little distracted was because Qin Cheng had been talking for too long, and both of them were a little confused by Qin Cheng's formation.

"You kid really said something that no one else said." Liu Che finally qualified Qin Cheng's words, and then said to Li Guang and Wei Qing: "You have all heard what Qin Cheng said, you can talk about it again and give me a systematic plan." "It's kind of a result for today's conversation.

Several people also made some exchanges on some things in the army, and there were no less than ten of them, which gave Qin Cheng the most intuitive feeling that Liu Che was a real expert, which was different from many emperors who only knew how to use their mouths and pat their brains, and it was estimated that this was also the reason why Liu Che was able to have extraordinary development in the military.

After a few people said a lot, Liu Che asked Li Guang and Wei Qing to return to the barracks, and said to Qin Cheng: "Qin Cheng is taking turns off today, right?" Then don't rush back, stay and talk to me. ”

"No!" Just thinking about going home to have a good relationship with Bai Xinxin, who had not been intimate for a long time, Qin Cheng, who had been warm and warm, reluctantly withdrew the foot that had taken the step, turned around and said respectfully.

After Wei Qing and Li Guang left, Liu Che said: "I look at the way you looked when you were just now, I'm afraid you didn't finish your words, right?" Now let's talk about everything that hasn't been said. ”

Qin Cheng arched his hand and said: "The minister doesn't say it, it's just inconvenient to say it." ”

"What about the Chamber of Commerce and the Intelligence Corps? What is inconvenient to say. Liu Che said, changing to a comfortable position and sitting, "This matter can't be put on the table at present, first, the time has not come, and it is inconvenient to publicize it, and second, the Chamber of Commerce will still be useful in the future, and now I have to hide them." Do you understand? ”

"I understand." Qincheng Road.

Liu Che glanced at Qin Cheng, then withdrew his gaze and said, "I know that you want to ask me when I will use them, I can tell you, and the Chamber of Commerce will start acting in the future." I want to recover Henan first, and then I want to open up Hexi, these must be pure cavalry attacks, and the support of intelligence is indispensable. As for the specific actions, now that you are the general of the Northern Army, it is not suitable for you to manage the Chamber of Commerce. I have already said hello to Zhang Qian, and you can hand over the affairs here in the next two days, and let him take the Chamber of Commerce with him in the future. ”

After that, Liu Che paused and added: "Zhang Qian still wants to go to the Western Regions, and it will be of great use for the Chamber of Commerce to hand it over to him." ”

"The minister understands, and the minister will obey His Majesty's will." Qin Cheng said, chuckling in his heart.

Although he knew that the reasons Liu Che said were all the actual situation, Qin Cheng still had some pimples in his heart when he stripped the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team out of his control. After all, this was set up by himself and Nangong Shang, and the effort spent was no less than that of the hussar battalion, and now if it is not his own, it is not his own, and he naturally can't be relieved at once.

Moreover, the part of the intelligence team in the grassland last time was completely wiped out, and Qin Cheng had been panicking in his heart, wanting to do something for these people. Qin Cheng has always felt that these people are not soldiers, they have no duty to die on the grassland, and they are a little unsuitable for them. But now it was clear that he could no longer lead them to do anything. I'm afraid this regret will have to be kept forever.

When Nangong Shang set out to set up the Chamber of Commerce, on the one hand, it was out of enthusiasm to serve the country, and on the other hand, this was also the complex of Qincheng Nangong Shang and Le Yi's three brothers working together.

For Qin Cheng, these are all negative emotions, but it is precisely this negative emotion that makes Qin Cheng make up his mind that he had been hesitating before.

"The current number of soldiers in the hussar battalion is 6,000, and in the spring after the year, I will make up 10,000 soldiers for you, and they are all veterans, so I will not let you down." Perhaps sensing the loss in Qin Cheng's heart, Liu Che said, "The glory of the hussar camp will not dissipate, and it will always exist." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Cheng bowed.

Liu Che nodded, "There's nothing else to do, you can go back." It's rare to take a vacation, so you should pay attention to rest. ”

"Minister, there is one more thing to enlighten Your Majesty." Qin Cheng didn't leave, but said firmly, "Your Majesty asked the minister what he thought about the Hun war, and the minister said a lot, but the most important point was not said!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Che was quite surprised, and scolded with a smile: "You guy, don't you make fun of me?" ”

Qin Cheng smiled, dispelled the somewhat gloomy atmosphere before, and said, "All the ideas that the minister said before must be based on a foundation, and this foundation is property. Although today's Han has abundant financial resources, it is still insufficient to meet the needs of long-term warfare against Hungary, after all, the grassland territory is huge, and the Han combat line will inevitably be stretched extremely long in the future. An army of 100,000 people went out of the Western Regions to conquer the grassland, which cost more than the millions of troops in the Central Plains, and the cavalry of the army must be mostly cavalry, which makes the war more demanding on financial resources! Please forgive your majesty, the minister has a great rebellion, if in the future when the war against Hungary, there will be other wars on the border...... The situation will not be optimistic. In the final analysis, war is fought with money, and without money, how difficult it is to win a war; with money, there is no war that cannot be won, and if you cannot win it once, you can fight it a second time. Therefore, although the current Han has strong financial resources, His Majesty can't help but think about the long-term plan. ”

After listening to Qin Cheng, Liu Che was really stunned this time, he naturally couldn't imagine that Qin Cheng could have such a shocking remark. The so-called not in his position and not seeking his own government, Qin Cheng is just one of the six generals of the Northern Army in the final analysis, and his words seem to have gone beyond his own scope of responsibility, if this is from the mouth of the prime minister, it is normal. And Qin Cheng's words were quite disrespectful. In short, it is a statement that will either have a huge effect or provoke anger.

If it weren't for the stimulation of the Chamber of Commerce, these words that had already been in Qin Cheng's heart would not be able to be said one day. It is also a bit presumptuous, which is not in line with the consideration of Qin Cheng's underworld leader in his previous life, but since he hit this era, how many things Qin Cheng has done are in line with the underworld identity in his previous life?

Now Qin Cheng is the general of the Han Dynasty and the commander of the six thousand hussar battalions, not the boss of the underworld.

"Do you know what will happen if you say that out of your mouth?" Liu Che looked at Qin Cheng and asked.

"Life or death." Qin Cheng said calmly, since the words have already been spoken, retreating can only be a slap in the face, Qin Cheng naturally can't do that.

"Life or ......death," Liu Che repeated Qin Cheng's words, as if he was understanding the meaning of these six undesirable words, and finally Liu Che stood up, walked to the pavilion bar and stood, looked at the scenery outside the pavilion, and turned his back to Qin Cheng and said: "Since you told me to prepare for the Chamber of Commerce, I know that you are not only outstanding in military ability, but also in courage. But now it seems that I still underestimated you. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, including the prime minister, the imperial lieutenant, and the generals, none of them had ever said such a thing to me before. You know why? Without waiting for Qin Cheng to answer, Liu Che continued: "Either I didn't expect it, or I was worried that this would be a taboo, or I was short-sighted...... But at the end of the day, no one can understand me!

No one can understand my heart, my ambitions, my vision......"

When Liu Che said this, his tone was surprisingly calm, as if he didn't feel resentful because of it, as if the person who was not understood was not himself, or rather, he was used to this kind of incomprehension.

Qin Cheng looked at Liu Che's slightly trembling back, and suddenly remembered that he had watched a certain great director's "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" in later generations, at the end of that TV, when Liu Che was about to die, he asked Sima Qian: "Do you think you really understand me?" ”

At that scene, Liu Che's eyes overlapped with Liu Che's back at this moment, which made Qin Cheng unable but to be shocked by an emperor through the ages.

"If I want to destroy the Huns, no one can stop me, the country's financial resources are not enough, so create wealth!" Liu Che said awe-inspiringly
