At the palace, a flock of pigeons flew by, and the sound of it pierced the sky .......

Several Yulin guards began to change shifts urgently, because the time for the court meeting was approaching, and today's court meeting was different from the past.

Weiyang Palace, the ministers have been waiting in the palace for a long time, they are still talking to each other, and the sound of each other is still very loud, but what they are talking about is not anything else, but the views on the battle of Monan, a group of civil officials led by Prime Minister Li Cai, and a group of military generals Wei Qing.

The civil officials all appreciated this battle very much, and the generals also felt that this time it was a very beautiful battle, but only Wei Qing, he always remained silent, because only he knew that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty actually didn't want such a victory.

"The emperor has arrived at ......."

The ministers knelt down and bowed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, dressed in a dragon robe and holding a bamboo slip in his hand, quickly walked up to the dragon chair from the side, the speed and style were so fast, reflecting the vigorous and resolute behavior of the young emperor.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat!" After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finished speaking, he looked around at His Royal Highness's ministers and said: "This expedition against the Xiongnu has won a complete victory, I am very excited after hearing about it, and I haven't slept for a few nights, I am very happy!" After speaking, Liu Che stood up with a smile on his face, then looked at the ministers and asked, "I don't know if Aiqing has fallen asleep since he went back!" ”

This court meeting discussed that battle was an indispensable topic, so Prime Minister Li Cai was the first to speak: "The old minister thinks that although the Hun Yizhi is slanted and singled out this time, our Han losses are also extremely heavy, and the loss of war horses, armor, grain and grass is innumerable, and the minister has heard that many of them are non-combat losses, so although he won, he ......." ”

Emperor Wu of Han still asked with a smile on his face: "What else!" ”

Seeing that Prime Minister Li Cai spoke, the master of the middle doctor, Yan Yan stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter whether the loss is lost or not, but the result now is that we have won, and he gave Yi Zhixian, who was the first time in the Huns to ascend to the great treasure, a big meeting gift, he will always remember the emperor, so the minister thinks that the loss is also worth it." ”

"The old minister thinks that Doctor Zhong is right, at the beginning of the war, the emperor was already determined to teach the Hun Xindan Yu Yizhi a lesson no matter how much it took, so the loss that the prime minister said was not worth mentioning in the face of victory!" Taiwei Tian Wei added.

Seeing that all the ministers felt that this was a great victory, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty turned his eyes to the generals and asked: "The generals have worked hard to conquer the Xiongnu, and they have the most right to speak, so you can talk about it." After speaking, Liu Che was still smiling, but very uncomfortable.

General Fei Li Guang stood up and reported: "Back to the emperor, the veteran feels that this battle has achieved a phased victory, this battle made the new single of the Huns Yu Yizhixian taste the consequences of committing the Han, and captured the members of the Xiongnu royal family to give them a fatal blow, the remnants of Yizhixian basically survived, and the Xiongnu will not dare to offend my Han mountains and rivers within five years." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, tens of thousands of enemies were killed in this battle, and the Huns will not dare to offend my Han Mountains and Rivers again!" A military general added.

Facing the views of the civil and military generals, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly stood up, he smiled coldly, and then his eyes fell on Wei Qing's body and asked, "Brother-in-law!" You are the general of our Han Dynasty and the commander of this battle, what do you think? ”

This is actually in Wei Qing's expectations, since he returned to Dingxiang Wei Qing, he has been worried about this matter, and after returning to Chang'an, he couldn't sleep for this matter, so he stood in the middle of the hall and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that this battle is a defeat!" ”

"Ahh

All the generals suddenly brightened their eyes, whether they were digging a hole for themselves or something.

Seeing that Wei Qing was on the point, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Wei Qing with a wicked smile and said, "Brother-in-law, let's talk about it, why did you lose the battle?" ”

Wei Qing said: "At the beginning of this battle, the emperor's intention to annihilate the main force of Yi Zhixian was to annihilate, not defeat. ”

Seeing that Wei Qing said what was in his heart, this really gave Liu Che a difficult question, whether he was angry or not.

Looking at General Wei, who didn't dare to look at himself respectfully, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and looked at the ministers and said, "See it, see it, you deserve to be my general." After speaking, Emperor Wu of Han sat down, and then opened the bamboo slip and said in a serious and loud voice: "What I just said about not being able to sleep is actually not excitement, but worry." With that, he lifted the bamboo slip.

After speaking, Liu Che scanned the Wenchen military generals in the audience and shouted: "Master Father! ”

"The minister is here!" The master father quickly went up to take the bamboo slips, and his face became gloomy as he walked and looked through them.

And some of the generals below who have just returned from the war are also surprised.

The master father spread out the bamboo slips and stood on the dragon platform and read aloud: "Eight hundred miles of border passes are urgently presented to the emperor and the general Qing, since the night of the Han expeditionary lord Xiongnu army withdrew, Shanggu County, Qiyang County and other places were attacked and harassed by the Xiongnu overnight, and on the third day, a group of Hun cavalry crossed the Great Wall and rushed to Wanyang City, after counting and verifying, 3,200 people were killed, and countless ...... were robbed. ”

Reading this, the master paused, he knew that it was a bit inappropriate to read any further.

Hearing about the urgent report of this border pass of 800 miles, the ministers had a bottom in their hearts, and the ministers who had just said that they had won the victory immediately regretted it very much, and they couldn't wait to slap themselves a few times, and the generals also looked very embarrassed.

Seeing that all the ministers who had won the battle just now closed their mouths, Liu Che suddenly stood up and waved his dragon robe and roared loudly: "Who just said that I gave Yi Zhixie, who was the first time to ascend to the great treasure of the Huns, a big meeting gift, and who said that the remnants of Yi Zhixian are basically surviving, and the Huns will not dare to offend my Dahan mountains and rivers within five years." After speaking, he angrily pointed to the bamboo slip in the hand of the master father and shouted: "Look at it, look at it, the big victory, it's only been a few days of big victory!" More than 3,200 people were killed! ”

Seeing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, the generals who came back from the battle suddenly sweated profusely.

Seeing that all the ministers and generals stopped talking, Emperor Wu of Han gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Since the battle report of your fight came back from the border pass, I can't sleep, I don't know what you have to be happy about, Chang'an Ling actually suggested that I put up a celebration banquet for you, look at the eight hundred miles of the pass here, the front foot is gone, and the back foot is here again!" ”

Wei Qing saw that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was getting more and more angry, so he walked to the middle hall and knelt down and said, "It's because the minister is incompetent and failed to catch Yi Zhixian." ”

In the face of Wei Qing's confession, Liu Che's heart also softened, and after Wei Qing stood up, he walked to the dragon chair and said: "Let's not talk about how Yi Zhixian was beaten in this battle, the destruction of the Tiger Ben Army, and Zhao Xin's surrender, are you still happy?" ”

Seeing that the emperor talked about Zhao Xin, Zhang Tang, the imperial historian who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Xin's expedition this time is the left general under the command of the general Wei Qing, Zhao Xin surrendered, and the general has an unshirkable responsibility." ”

Faced with the admonition of the imperial historian Zhang Tang, Wei Qing was also helpless: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty." ”

"You are indeed guilty!" Zhang Tang glanced at Wei Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Liu Che and continued: "According to the minister's understanding, the general has actually discovered the signs of Zhao Xin's surrender a long time ago, but he has not taken measures, and he has also incorporated the guerrilla tiger army led by Su Jian into one, which eventually led to the annihilation of the entire tiger army, and made the elite of our Han dynasty go down the drain. ”

The court meeting is getting more and more wrong, originally everyone thought of a celebration of the court, but now it looks like a court meeting to hold responsibility and criticize, and the generals are worried that this battle may be in vain.
