The Son of Heaven was in a good mood, and pulled Prime Minister Tian Wei to talk for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tian Wei asked a question. "Your Majesty, for Liang Xiao, the minister has some uneasiness."

The Son of Heaven squinted at Tian Wei, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. "Yes, the prime minister also pays attention to Liang Xiao?"

Tian Wei was slightly annoyed, but pretended not to hear. "Your Majesty, it is not strange that the main force of our Han army blocked King Hutu in the valley and sent people to attack the baggage of the Huns, but according to His Majesty's edict, Liang Xiao is a general, and such a war should be completed by him, why is it attacked by the main general Li Guang?"

The Son of Heaven narrowed his eyes slightly. "What exactly does the prime minister want to say?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Liang Xiao is suspected of competing for merit. Li Guang was frivolous, as the main general, but he was played by Liang Xiao. If it weren't for the strong strength of King Hutu, I was afraid that the credit for killing King Hutu would fall into the hands of Liang Xiao again. It is not a bad thing for young people to compete for fame and fortune, but if it affects His Majesty's reputation, it will not be good. ”

"Affect my reputation?" The tone of the Son of Heaven became colder, revealing a bit of unkindness.

"Li Guang failed to seal the marquis last time, and Liang Xiao was sent to the Western Regions to seal 1,800 households, and rumors have spread among the people, saying that His Majesty does not need to be a general, and prefers young people. If this time Li Guang, the main general, is not as good as Liang Xiao, who is a general......"

Tian Wei dragged out his voice and didn't say any more. He glanced at the Son of Heaven, and saw that there was no smile on the Son of Heaven's face, and he was secretly proud in his heart, so he quickly pretended to be uneasy and bowed down. "The minister is abrupt. The minister retired. ”

The Son of Heaven remained motionless, watching Tian Wei disappear outside the hall, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Snorted disdainfully. Turned around and glanced at Yan Suke.

"Is the Prime Minister's concern justified?"

Yan Zhu shook his head. chuckled: "Your Majesty, what the minister is worried about is not that Liang Xiao is fighting for merit, but that the minister is worried about Liang Xiao's lack of merit." ”

"Oh?" The Son of Heaven was a little surprised.

The prime minister said that Liang Xiao was young, but the minister felt that Liang Xiao was too old. If he really wants to fight for merit, I am afraid that the head of King Xiu Tu is already hanging in Beique at this moment, so why wait until Li Guangdang returns from the return of King Xiu Tu. In Yichen's view, Liang Xiao clearly wanted to fulfill Li Guang and give him credit. ”

The Son of Heaven's eyes rolled. Slightly jawed.

"Therefore, the minister is not worried that he will affect His Majesty's reputation." Yan Zhu paused, and then said, "Your Majesty, what the minister is worried about is that Liang Xiao believes in Huang Lao. Liang Xiao has always been interested in Lord Huainan Weng, but only because of the disparity in identity did he dare not propose marriage. Now he is a liehou, and he is qualified to marry the lord of Huainan. If he proposes marriage to the Huainan Palace, what will Your Majesty do? ”

The Son of Heaven was silent, and a trace of uneasiness flashed between his eyebrows. Although the Empress Dowager passed away, there are not many people in the government and the opposition who believe in the way of Huang Lao. Especially Liu An, the king of Huainan, although he has not made any recent remarks. However, Liu Ling, the lord of Huainan, held banquets in Chang'an one after another, and his influence was not only not weak, but greatly enhanced. Considering the relationship between Liang Xiao and Liu Ling, there must be Liang Xiao's shadow behind this.

Thinking of Liang Xiao's disdain for Dong Zhongshu again, the Son of Heaven suddenly felt a worry in his heart. If the young handsome man he trusted the most was actually an old Huang believer, wouldn't that be a disguised encouragement to those old decay?

"Yan Zhu, you have a lot of friendship with the father and daughter of the King of Huainan, but you have to pay attention to what they are thinking."

Yan Zhu hurriedly bowed down to receive the order. "Yui!"

Tian Wei walked out of the east gate of Weiyang Palace, and wanted to go back to the house directly, but he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and turned around and went to Changle Palace again.

The queen mother is in the gradual stage, and the chief of the pavilion Tao Gong is subjecting to fish, a group of palace maids are carrying lamps, the lights are reflected on the water, and from time to time there are fish jumping out of the water, spitting bubbles. While throwing the fish food in their hands into the water, the two of them whispered and laughed, looking intimate, just as they did back then.

Tian Wei secretly laughed and walked forward to salute quickly. The chief princess of the museum returned the salute with a smile. "Wu Anhou is in a good mood."

Tian Wei said with a smile: "Longyou is naturally happy to have a great victory." ”

The princess was stunned for a moment, and exchanged a look with the queen mother. "Longyou's victory?"

"Yes, Li Guang and Liang Xiao annihilated 20,000 elite horsemen in the Xiu Tu Wang Department in Longyou, and captured the Xiu Tu King alive. This is a rare victory since our dynasty fought against the Xiongnu. ”

A trace of loss flashed on the face of the Pavilion Chief Princess Tao, and then she smiled again: "It is indeed a rare victory, no wonder Wu Anhou is so happy." Longyou is a great victory, Wu Anhou, as the prime minister, is in the middle of the dispatch, and he is also a meritorious person. It's a pity ......"

Tian Wei glanced at the Queen Mother, and stopped talking. The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth were slightly raised, and she was silent. The Pavilion Chief Princess was feeling lost, and she didn't notice their sister's expression. She said two polite words and hurriedly took her leave.

Seeing off the princess of the pavilion, the queen mother laughed. "It turns out that without those heroic families, the Son of Heaven can win battles, which is indeed good news."

This is indeed good news for the Son of Heaven. But for me, that's not necessarily good news. Tian Wei put away his smile and looked angry. Sister, I am the prime minister of the head of the hundred officials, but I can't receive the news until the victory of Longyou, where is my face? ”

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment. "You didn't know beforehand?"

"If there is anything today, I will discuss it with Yan Zhu and others, and I will only tell me when I have the result, but I will ask the Prime Minister's Office to issue an official document." Tian Wei shouted: "Sister, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, which prime minister has been so despised? I might as well be as idle as Dou Ying. ”

The Queen Mother reprimanded: "If you are quiet, if you really want to be like Dou Ying, I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh." ”

Tian Wei muttered indignantly. "Sister, Liang Xiao has made another meritorious service, I'm afraid that he will go to Huainan Wangfu to propose marriage when he comes back this time. You'll have to help me figure it out, or I'll really have no face to be this prime minister. ”

The Queen Mother frowned lightly and remained silent.

——

Hugh Tuze, the morale-boosting Han army ended its last recuperation before rushing to Henan.

Capturing King Hutu and his 20,000 elite cavalry, the Hugh Tu Department has opened its arms to the Han army and has taken what it wants. After two years, Li Guang once again led the army to sweep away the slaughter. Unlike the last time, this time, the Han army did not plan to leave when it came. According to the advance plan, the Han army was to pocket all the land south of Hutuze.

Therefore, it became a question who would go out with the main cavalry and who would lead the foot soldiers to stay behind in this newfound land.

According to the military merit system of the Han Dynasty, only by beheading can you make meritorious service, and only by making meritorious service can you have the opportunity to be crowned a marquis, and those who stay behind have little chance to make meritorious service. Even if you build the land of Hutu into a solid place, it is impossible to make meritorious contributions.

Therefore, from Li Guang and Li Xi to ordinary soldiers, they all rushed to go on the expedition. Only then will they have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. In order to compete for this opportunity, even Li Xi, who has never spoken much, couldn't hold back, and almost turned his face with Li Guang.

Liang Xiao originally planned to give them the opportunity and stay by himself. In his opinion, he has already sealed the Hou, plus the military exploits of capturing King Hugh, Yifeng is also expected, and there is no need to compete with others for merit. But seeing this scene, he dismissed this idea.

It's not that they were aroused by the generals, but they were afraid that they would fight for merit. He could see that from Li Guang and Li Xi, none of these guys were fuel-efficient lamps, and none of them were humble gentlemen. When there is no conflict of interest, you can say hello, hello, hello, everyone, once there is a conflict of interest, they will not hesitate to jump out, even at the expense of drawing a knife to face each other.

He was very worried that if he didn't do it, Li Guang and Li Xi would have a fight sooner or later. After obtaining 30,000 war horses from the Huns, the Han army now has a total of 15,000 horsemen, which is not weak, but it is not strong enough to have no opponents. In the event of infighting, it is likely to lead to a fiasco.

In order to ensure that there will be no accidents in this battle, he must accompany him to mediate, so as not to make trouble out of control with these martial artists.

Under the mediation of Liang Xiao, a unanimous agreement was finally reached: Li Guang, Liang Xiao, and Li Xi all went out with the army, and Li Shu stayed, commanding the infantry and the people, and seized the time to build the city. It is conceivable that the Huns will soon counterattack in a big way, and without a city, it will be difficult for the Han army to deal with the swarming Hun cavalry.

For Li Shu, of course, this is a bit unfair. However, considering that Li Danghu has been made a marquis, Li Guang's marquis is also a sure thing, the Li family has two marquises, and if they compete with others for merit, they will inevitably be greedy enough. And let him stay behind, which can be regarded as a one-man affair. According to the habits of the imperial court, it is very likely that this place will be guarded in the future, and it can be regarded as a rare opportunity.

After the interests were coordinated, everyone's attention was once again focused on the war. Li Guang, Li Xi, and more than a dozen lieutenants gathered together to discuss the upcoming battle. After leaving Hutu Ze, they will go deep into the desert, and they may encounter the Huns at any time, and a big war is about to break out.

"Bo Ming, you say the arrangement again, everyone listens carefully." Li Guang glanced at everyone, his eyes burning. "When you get to the battlefield, don't come and ask questions, it's a mess."

Everyone nodded again and again, looking at Liang Xiao with the same warm gaze. Especially Li Xi, if it weren't for Liang Xiao's agreement, the task of staying in the Hugh Slaughter Land would most likely fall on him.

Liang Xiao coughed and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, this is a good opportunity to become an official, I don't think I need to say more." ”

The crowd laughed and was in a good mood. This time, they not only captured King Xiu Tu alive and wiped out the Xiu Tu Department, but also attacked Henan with the strong strength of 15,000 horsemen. Among the three-way army arranged by the imperial court, they are the absolute main force, and it is difficult to make meritorious contributions.

"However, I hope that you will recognize one problem, our strength is not enough to sweep the grassland. Therefore, if you want to live and be rewarded for meritorious service, you must firmly hold yourself together and not give the Huns a chance to break through. ”

"Bo Ming, you're right." Li Xi said loudly: "The army fights, not alone, and it is not enough to rely on individual martial arts alone. ”

Li Guang glanced at Li Xi and snorted.

Liang Xiao hurriedly interrupted them. "Since everyone understands this, then I won't talk much. Three days later, we will be the first punch of the Great Han to attack the Huns, and smash the heads of the Aries King and the King of Lou Fu. ”

Everyone responded with a bang—
