Liu Che convened the ministers of the Three Princes to discuss the issue of the border troubles in the northern frontier, because Liu Che always felt that the Xiongnu were too quiet after the Battle of Longcheng and did not receive any reports from the frontier, which made people feel uneasy.

According to the past practice, as long as the Han Dynasty was not honest, the Xiongnu would send troops south to harass them, the most representative was the Zuogu Liwang Yi Zhixian, who would send troops into the pass to rob him.

But now, the battle of Longcheng has been over for a few months, and the Xiongnu have not made any moves, and more importantly, the north is approaching the cold season, and there is a shortage of materials, Liu Che can't understand why it is so quiet.

"Captain, tell me what you think!" For more than an hour, Liu Che's population was like a river.

Hong Ping arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, in the battle of Longcheng, General Wei smashed the Yellow Dragon, presumably the Xiongnu have already tasted His Majesty's heavenly might, and the losses are so heavy, the minister feels that he should not go south for a while." ”

Liu Che sneered after hearing this, this is the captain in charge of the national military, and he has no sense of distress at all: "Then what do you mean, the Hu people should come and surrender to us Luo?" What about people? ”

Liu Che's words were very choking, and he immediately choked Hong Ping speechless.

"As a lieutenant, how much do you know about the frontier? What are our enemies doing, don't they have an account in their hearts? Liu Che asked angrily and loudly.

"Your Majesty!" Hong Ping knelt directly on the ground in fright.

Liu Che was speechless, they were all a group of confused officials, they were all a group of related households, and they only remembered their positions: "You, no wonder the first emperor had such a strong national strength and also paid tribute to the Xiongnu and Qin, just because there are officials like you." ”

Liu Che knows that there is no way to do this, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, important positions have been controlled by the children of the family, good ones, such as Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying, who can still do something, and bad ones, such as Hong Ping and Xue Ze, eat and drink together.

At this moment, General Qimen quickly walked into the main hall to report to Li Guang for an audience.

came just in time, Liu Che was originally gathering everyone for the Huns today, so he announced it.

"Old minister Li Guang pays a visit to Your Majesty." Although Li Guang is old, he has always bowed to Liu Cheshi.

Among the old ministers of the first dynasty, Liu Che only looked down on this brave and unscrupulous Li Guang, and he was also worthy of respect, so he got up and stepped forward to help: "Old general, please get up, it's hard work." ”

Li Guang could see his thoughts at a glance from Liu Che's helpless expression: "Your Majesty, but because of the troubles of the Huns?" ”

"It's still General Fei who understands my intentions!" Liu Che really didn't expect Li Guang to be right, of course, since he was seen by Li Guang, Liu Che also wanted to hear Li Guang's opinion: "Old general, what do you think?" ”

Li Guang looked at Prime Minister Xue Ze, Imperial Historian Han Anguo, and Taiwei Hongping on the side, in fact, he wanted to express some opinions on the affairs of the Huns, but when he thought that he had lost three battles in a row, he would have forgotten it: "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to play, please ask Your Majesty for permission." After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed again very sincerely.

Hearing this, Liu Che had already guessed Li Guang's intention, but he was a little apprehensive, what was Li Guang's attitude towards his decision, and did Wei Qing do ideological work? Will he find an excuse not to go?

"Get up, old general." Liu Che stretched out his hand and gestured.

Li Guang arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, although the minister is old, but his heart is still warm, now the Xiongnu border trouble has not been eliminated, and the minister still wants to return to the frontier to guard the peace of the Han Dynasty, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

Li Guang's request shocked the ministers of the three princes on the side, Li Guang is so old, how good it is to stay in Chang'an, but they all saw Li Guang's helpless side, especially Han Anguo and Hong Ping.

Liu Che was excited and excited in his heart, the unhappiness just now disappeared, he got up and walked to Li Guang, held Li Guang's hand and said affectionately: "The old general should think well, I ......"

"Your Majesty, the old minister followed Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing all the way, hated the Huns, His Majesty had the great ambition to destroy Hu at the beginning of his accession to the throne, and the minister has not changed his original intention since the moment of the army, and he is willing to dedicate his life to the great cause of resisting Hu!" This is Li Guang's heart, although he has the idea of staying in Chang'an to be a marquis, it does not affect his original intention of hating Hu Ren.

Liu Che said excitedly: "I haven't changed my original intention, I remember, the emperor's grandfather said back then, if Li Guang was born in the period of Emperor Gaozu, it would not be too much to seal the marquis of Wanhu, this is the original words, I remember." ”

Li Guang was a little depressed after hearing this, since you remember, why is the Li Guang family still not as good as mediocre people like Hong Ping? Is it because these people are all related households? But doubts are doubts, and Li Guang can only accept his fate.

"Your Majesty's permission!" Li Guang asked again.

Liu Che thought for a while while and asked, "Since the old general has decided, I want to put you somewhere?" ”

"Your Majesty, the 100,000 mercenaries of King Zuo Xian are the greatest threat to the northern frontier of our Han Dynasty, and there has been a trend of going south in recent years, and Right Beiping is also the sharpest and most cruel place to resist Hu, and the minister hopes to go there." Li Guang hopes to go to the hardest place.

In fact, where Li Guang went, Liu Che has already considered, not just the disposal as mentioned before, opposite the right Beiping is the Hun Zuoxian King Hu Hante, who has 100,000 people, I have to say that Liu Che's consideration is very far-reaching.

In the battle of Longcheng, the Xiongnu will retaliate sooner or later, and the biggest threat is this 100,000 people, Liu Che Manguan has no one in the imperial court who can take on this great responsibility, only Li Guang can compete with it, after all, he has dealt with King Zuoxian.

Wei Qing is a good sword, but Liu Che has to use it for other purposes, so this errand belongs to Li Guang.

"Zhun Song, go and start your eleventh career as a Taishou!" Liu Che was domineering.

Li Guang bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then he exited the main hall.

After Li Guang left, Liu Che began to face these three mediocre ministers again.

"Hong Ping, I told you that I want to be strong, but a strong man must first strengthen the army, are you ready?" The Dou clan's henchmen are dead, those mediocre people have also landed, and those who have the ability to stop him from realizing his dreams are gone, Liu Che has made up his mind this time to promote the reform of the strong Han Dynasty, and the situation of the Han Dynasty being beaten passively must be changed.

Hong Ping was a little panicked, Li Guang and others, he retreated bravely, what were he waiting for: "Your Majesty, the minister, the minister is incompetent, and you can't share your worries for Your Majesty." After saying that, he fell to his knees.

Liu Che was very angry, he had hinted a few times before, Hong Ping just couldn't understand it, he didn't have the ability, and he wanted to occupy the position all the time, Liu Che angrily overturned a bundle of bamboo slips to the ground: "What should be the crime of not seeking his position in his position?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Hong Ping shuddered.

Liu Che felt a little tired, twisted his neck and said, "Since you Taiwei Hong don't know anything, then the military affairs will be handled by Wei Qing first, what do you think?" ”

"Wei Qing is a rare person in a hundred years, and the minister thinks that General Wei can take on this great responsibility!" Hong Ping's voice was loud and firm.

After hearing this, Liu Che was still unhappy and got up and walked out.

And Han An, who was on the side, sighed in his heart: It should have been a long time ago, is it too late?
