Early the next morning,

Wei Qing led Wu Lin, Song Yujun, Ruo Yao, Luo Shan, Han Shuo, Guo Chang and other generals to Jianzhang Palace and gave a detailed report on the battle plan, marching route, and safeguard measures studied last night.

After listening to Wei Qing's report, Liu Che didn't seem to have any waves in his heart, this is a manifestation of confidence, a manifestation of trust in Wei Qing, and there is no longer the feeling of being in a hurry and anxious like in previous years.

The army sent troops from Gaoque into the Hetao area, and deterred the surrendered Hawangda and all the surrendered troops in Henan by force, and then relied on Shuofang to go out of Yin Mountain, and struck at the Youxian King, and slapped down the arrogant arrogance of Yi Zhixian.

Liu Che got up with a sheepskin in his hand and walked to the pile of generals, then looked around and handed the sheepskin to Wei Qing: "This is Yi Zhi and people brought it to Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xin asked the prime minister to present it to me." ”

Wei Qing took the sheepskin with both hands with apprehension, these are not words, but they should have been translated by Zhao Xin, to the effect that Liu Chewu should be warned to forget the lessons of the siege of Baideng, and return Henan immediately, and the two countries will be at peace, otherwise the steppe wolf will sweep south in the way of the steppe wolf, so that Liu Che pays attention to the .......

Seeing that Wei Qing had also finished reading it, Liu Che suddenly asked with a straight face, "What do you think?" ”

Wei Qing and several other generals looked at each other and replied: "Hehe, Your Majesty is too worried, it's just a group of grassland dogs, see how my Han Iron Cavalry hunts them." ”

"Hahahaha!" Liu Che immediately laughed after hearing this: "Hahaha, Yi Zhixian would never have thought that their steppe wolves are just a group of earth dogs in the eyes of your Wei Qing, hahahaha......"

Liu Che was full of confidence in Wei Qing, and said as he walked to the door: "Yi Zhixian has attacked four times in two years with a scale of 10,000 people, and it seems that he is also anxious to need a few victories to stabilize his position in Dragon City. After speaking, Liu Che turned to look at the generals and said firmly: "Whether Hanwei can reach the Quartet or not depends on the generals." ”

The generals replied: "I will live up to the strong men in the world!" ”

"Hahahaha." Liu Che laughed happily again: "Go, I won't come here when I order troops from the North Sect, I will set up a celebration wine and wait for the triumphant return of the generals." After saying that, he left Jianzhang Palace.

Sending Liu Che away, Wei Qing turned his face and looked at the sheepskin map again, the map was very large, it was Zhang Qian's hard work, he gathered the hearts of tens of millions of Han people.

"Song Yujun." Wei Qing suddenly turned around and looked at the generals and gave the general order: "Beijiaochang, point out the troops and set off." ”

"Whoa!" Song Yujun quickly answered and left.

This time, Liu Che sent 30,000 cavalry from Gaoque into the Hetao area, Changping Hou Weiqing as the general of the chariot cavalry, Wei Wei Su Jian as the guerrilla general, Zuo Neishi Li Fu as the strong crossbow general, and the servant Sun He as the cavalry general.

These four men are in command of the central army, the forward, the left and right flanks, and the containment force.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The generals are very busy, and Prime Minister Li Cai is also quite busy.

As soon as Liu Che walked out of Jianzhang Palace on the front foot, he saw Li Cai and a group of people from the Prime Minister's Mansion following him at the platform, and the lineup was not lost to Wei Qing's generals at all.

Seeing that Li Cai was leading people to Jianzhang Palace, Liu Che hurriedly said to the waiter: "Go, just say that I am not in the bell tower." ”

"Whoa." The waiter turned around and gave the message.

The army is going on an expedition, and as the prime minister, he must be the busiest, and the military salary, grain and grass, and the money needed for military merit are all the affairs of the prime minister, so Li Cai does not dare to slack off.

Li Cai led the large team of the Prime Minister's Mansion and quickly came to the bell tower after receiving the summons from the servants.

"Your Majesty." After Li Cai finished speaking, he took out the bamboo slip from his sleeve: "This is the required military expenditure, please take a look at it." ”

Li Cai can be said to have truly experienced the suffering of the prime minister this time, due to the civil war in the past few years, coupled with the construction of Shuofang City, the treasury has been empty as early as the Gongsun Hong period.

He almost thought of all the ways he should think of the military funds raised this time, of course, the biggest credit is still those princes and kings, they were already afraid of Liu Che, and I heard that they were going to fight the Huns again, and some people contributed powerfully.

"Your Majesty, there are still some deficiencies in military spending, especially for the commendation ......of military merits," Li Cai didn't dare to say further.

Liu Che slowly put it away after reading the bamboo slips: "The military expenses of the Ironclad Army will be reduced by half this year." ”

"Ah, this, this, not good." Li Cai knew that Liu Che might be targeting Li Guang.

Liu Che handed the bamboo slip to Li Cai and said: "In the past two years, the border troubles in the northern frontier have become more and more serious, tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry have attacked Dai County, killed Taishou Gongyou, and captured more than 1,000 people. ”

Li Cai was disheartened, Liu Che really took out this matter again, so he was ready to defend: "Your Majesty, the frontier is not what you think, the soldiers and civilians of the border counties are fighting against Hu on the front line......"

"Don't complain to me, let alone talk about any hardships, I just want results." After Liu Che finished speaking, in order to comfort Li Cai, he continued to say sternly: "Who is not bitter in a strong man? Who doesn't suffer? Who doesn't pay the price? If you want to complain to me, then just continue to pay tribute to your relatives and treat the Huns as guests, what do you think? ”

The leaders really only looked at the results, and Li Cai knelt down to report: "The minister is not complaining, the minister is wrong." ”

"Get up." Liu Che was in a bad mood, he turned around and continued to walk towards the bell tower, he didn't know why he was unhappy, anyway, he was unhappy, looking at the group of literati behind Li Cai, Liu Che suddenly had a new idea.

"In this way, after the matter is done, you can also go north." Liu Che said suddenly.

Li Cai froze, he is now the prime minister, so he still hasn't reacted.

Seeing that Li Cai was at a loss, Liu Che once again emphasized: "I have named you the general of the light car, subordinate to the general of the cavalry Wei Qing, and send troops from Shuofang together to see how people lead the troops to fight." ”

After hearing this, Li Cai's face suddenly lost his brightness, and the head of the hundred officials was also subordinate to Wei Qing to fight, which is rare in history, but Li Cai had no choice but to learn.

Li Cai replied: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"Also, there are some other things that are in charge of the Imperial Doctor's department, do a good job of handing over the work, and go north with Wei Qing." Liu Che has a feeling for the Li family anyway, a feeling of hatred and love, and a feeling of hatred that iron is not made of steel.

In this way, Li Cai, as a representative of the Li family, was sent by Liu Che to the border pass to learn combat experience.

"Also, bring a few more Wenchen with you, and let these guys who have nothing to do in Chang'an City every day also go to the border to have a look, and see how my Han people compete with the Huns, lest these people have nothing to eat and always feel that the strong man is a soldier's business, and it has nothing to do with him." Liu Che said to Wenchen behind Li Cai.

Wenchen was so frightened that he knelt down and didn't dare to speak.

Liu Che turned around angrily and continued to walk.

In the afternoon, Prime Minister Li Cai counted the personnel and took more than 20 people from the Prime Minister's Mansion to Henan.
