,Update fast,,Read for free!

The ministers in the Yongning Hall were silent, and the only sound that came out was the sound of bone joints rubbing when the body trembled.

All the courtiers of the lord and faction were pale and frightened, and they all lowered their heads to death, and they didn't dare to look at Liu Che.

Their underwear was wet with cold sweat, and the old court captain Wang, who had patted his chest and said that Huo Qubing had died in battle, knelt on the ground tremblingly, taking one bite at a time, swallowing saliva in extreme fear.

Wang Lao Tingwei understood that he couldn't do it, and with his words just now, which were almost cursing Huo Quai, according to Liu Che's temperament, he would never let him go.

His officialdom career has almost come to an end.

In fact, Liu Che also planned to do so, and Wang Tingwei had no reason to continue to stay in the Han Dynasty.

The reason is very simple, aside from maintaining Huo Qu's illness, there is another important reason, that is, killing chickens and making an example of monkeys.

Killing Wang Tingwei's chicken, so that those monkeys who support peace talks can see his Liu Che's determination clearly, and by the way, he can also show his determination to destroy the Xiongnu as His Majesty the Emperor, why not.

Wang Tingwei knew this, and he knew that with the birth of Huo Quzhi's earth-shattering exploits, he was about to become a political victim, alas...... I can only blame myself for being on the wrong team.

The Lord and the faction have completely collapsed.

On the other hand, the courtiers of the Webster Group ....... Originally, they should have cheered at this time to celebrate the emergence of such a famous general who will go down in history and will have a decisive role in the Han Dynasty in the future.

But their reaction was the same as that of the ministers of the Lord and the faction, one by one they bowed their heads and did not dare to say anything.

The reason is also very simple, they were frightened by Huo Quai......

Think about it carefully, who can not be afraid of such a feat!

This battle of Hexi is comparable to Xiang Yu's battle of Pengcheng that year, where 30,000 iron cavalry defeated Gaozu's 600,000 army!

In the hearts of the courtiers of the Wei Group, this Huo Qubing and Xiang Yu are both unparalleled famous generals in the world.

But right now, the reason why the courtiers of the Wei Group did not speak, in addition to being frightened by Huo Quai, there were some reasons, that is, these courtiers of the Wei Group quietly started their wishful thinking in their hearts.

Just look at their current performance, many people look at Wei Qing from time to time, who looks melancholy, but is very pleased.

Why do they want to look at Wei Qing, hehe, what else can it be, thinking about their future position, or thinking about ...... This Wei's backer, is it time for Wei's pillar to be replaced?

What's more, now he has begun to rack his brains to ponder the relationship between himself and Huo Quzhi.

They were wondering if Huo Qubing should call them something when he saw them, whether he had any relatives with Champion Hou, or, what Champion Hou liked, how could he take refuge in him, would he look at that shallow family affection and mention himself in the future?

Hehe.

.......

His gaze returned to Liu Che's body.

After listening to the words of the soldier who was sent by the Longxi guard to report the message, Liu Che fell into shock, endless shock!

He didn't dare to imagine that in such a battle that was just a tentative battle, Huo Qubing actually gave him such a big surprise.

It can even be said that Huo Qubing used the fruitful results of the Battle of Hexi to resolutely break the current parity of strength between the Han and the Hungarians, and the current stalemate!

Since the Battle of Hexi, the Xiongnu and the Han were no longer opponents at the same level of strength.

Since then, offense and defense have changed hands.

The Han completely grasped all the initiative on the battlefield, and the Huns could only be beaten passively.

After a few minutes of silence, Liu Che's robe shook, he stood up from the throne suddenly, completely ignoring his image as an emperor, quickly stepped down from the high position and rushed to the soldier who reported the news, and used all his strength to drag the soldier sent by the Longxi guard from the ground to report the news.

Liu Che's tiger eyes full of imperial majesty were stunned to the maximum, and the emperor's qi gushed out from his body, looking at the pale face in front of him who was already frightened by his actions, Liu Che asked in a trembling voice that was crazy and a little frightened.

"Really...... Really, these ...... Is it true that these are all true, and it has really made such a great contribution to getting sick! Quick, is there a letter from the Longxi guard, show it to me, show it to me! ”

The soldier nodded his head tremblingly, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty...... It's true..... These are all true, the villain was not long ago with General Zhang into Hexi to investigate the situation, the villain saw with his own eyes, Hexi Huns wailed, we just entered Hexi received the Xiongnu vassal state, invited the old leader of Zi to surrender the letter, by the way, Your Majesty, this is General Zhang's letter to you. ”

After speaking, the soldier took out the letter written by the Longxi Shou General to Liu Che from his chest, that is, a bunch of bamboo slips.

The first time the bamboo slip was taken out of the soldier's arms, Liu Che quickly snatched it over, opened the bamboo slip, Liu Che held his breath and looked at every word on the bamboo slip seriously.

The eyes containing the majesty of the emperor bloomed with a ray of compelling light, Liu Che seemed to want to imprint every word on this bundle of bamboo slips deeply into his mind, and the big hand holding the bamboo slips was also unprecedented force.

Soon, Liu Che finished reading it, and what followed was laughter one after another.

"Hahaha, ahahaha!"

"Good! Good! Go to the sick, you didn't disappoint me, you are really my Huaiyin Marquis! ”

Liu Che opened his arms, laughing indulgently, his eyebrows, eyes, and lips revealed great joy all the time, no, it was not great joy, it was ecstasy, it was ecstasy!

But now Liu Che, except for laughing, except for saying yes, he can't say anything else, all thanks to Huo Quai, the surprise he brought to Liu Che is so big that Liu Che doesn't know how to praise him.

A temptation, a simple temptation battle, and even he didn't have much hope, Huo Qubing was able to fight so beautifully, no, no, no, not beautiful, using the word beautiful to describe Huo Quzhi's battle in Hexi is simply the biggest insult to him, it should be said perfect...... No, no, it's not good to be perfect, but how do you describe it?

Hahaha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I don't need to think so much useless, I just need to know that from now on, Huo Qubing will be his first confidant, and he will be the first general of the Han under his command, so it is enough.

Liu Che laughed in the hall for ten minutes before stopping, and during this time, he stood alone in front of the ministers and looked at the letters of the Longxi guards and laughed, occasionally popping out a few good words in his mouth.

After laughing, Liu Che picked up the handwritten battle report written by Huo Qubing in Dongfang Shuo's hand and watched it, but at this time, he ....... When he saw how many soldiers and horses Huo Qu had lost in the battle of Hexi, the smile on Liu Che's face was a little less and a little heavier.

But soon, laughter sounded again, covering up Liu Che's heaviness just now.

Before, Dongfang Shuo didn't say how much Huo Qubing had lost, so now, needless to say, on the big day, how could he let those "insignificant" things sweep away Yaxing.

After reading Huo Qu's sick battle report, Liu Che's face was full of joy, and he pointed at Wang Wutun with excitement, and said, "You just said that you have returned to the dynasty after going to illness, where is he now?" ”

Wang Wu arched his hand and said, "Back to Your Majesty, General Huo is probably less than sixty miles away from Chang'an. ”

Liu Che took away the smile on his face, no matter how happy he was, he couldn't lose the majesty of the emperor, even if he was laughing just now........ He had almost lost the majesty of his emperor.

Liu Che put his hands behind his back, and his eyes slowly closed when he heard that Huo Qubing was only sixty miles away from Chang'an.

Five seconds later, Liu Che slowly opened his pair of tiger eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking directly at the blue sky and white clouds outside the Yongning Palace, and ordered loudly.

"Spread my will, the people of Chang'an City, the civil and military officials of the city, all the wives and concubines of the harem, the prince and princess, after half an hour, follow me out of the city for twenty miles," Liu Che raised his head and raised his tone high.

"Welcome back to the dynasty with the champion Hou Banshi!"

Liu Che wanted to take all the people and officials of Chang'an City out of the city to welcome Huo Quai's class back to the court, this honor had never been won before, and it would be the same in the future.

The emperor of the Nenglao Dynasty led all the people and officials of the national capital out of the city for twenty miles to welcome a general.

Hearing Liu Che's holy decree, all the officials knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

The corners of Liu Che's eyes and mouth showed a smile again, he looked at Wei Qing who was full of emotion and relief beside him, Liu Che stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Very good, very good, Wei Qing, I want to thank you, I want to thank you for bringing the illness to my eyes, if it weren't for him, we don't know how long we will fight with the Huns, and we don't know how many soldiers will be killed and wounded." ”

"But!" Liu Che's chin was raised, looking down at the ministers in the hall, full of spirit, showing the style of Han martial arts.

Full of confidence, he said in a loud voice: "From now on, I can tell all of you clearly that within five years, the Huns will be peaceful!" ”

At the end, Liu Che added another sentence.

"It will be in the hands of the champion Hou!"

The ministers clapped their asses once, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Wei Qing also followed the ministers to congratulate Liu Che.

Liu Che's praise for Huo Qu's illness just now, Wei Qing was also very proud of his nephew, but ....... Somehow, after the salute, Wei Qing at this time, looking at the courtiers of the Wei Group who had gathered beside him, all ran to Liu Che's eyes to praise Huo Quai, saying how powerful Huo Qubing was, how brave he was, and that the Han being able to get Huo Qubing was simply a blessing from God.

Wei Qing was stunned.

looked at his empty side, and then looked at the Wei courtiers who gathered around Liu Che to praise Huo Quai...... Wei Qing suddenly felt a faint sense of loss.

At this time, Liu Che faced the praise of the courtiers of the Wei Group, and said another sentence that made Wei Qing's heart miserable.

"Champion Hou, be the first general of my Han!"

Hearing the five words of the first general of the big man, Wei Qing lowered his head, stared at the stone floor with his eyes and turned bitterly a few times.

These five words, before....... But it's all his own.

........

At present, Huo Qubing is only less than sixty miles away from Chang'an, Liu Che did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered the ceremonial officials to prepare all the things that could be used to welcome Huo Qubing back to his master, and the specifications were according to the highest standards, that is, ...... The emperor's standard.

He Liu Che wants to give Huo Qubing the best, and he wants to give Huo Qubing the most supreme glory.

The ceremonial officer got Liu Che's instructions and went down to prepare, Liu Che did not plan to continue to delay in the Yongning Palace, he had to tell Wei Zifu the good news first........ Even if she already knew, she still had to tell her that he wanted to share this wonderful moment with Wei Zifu.

Liu Che stretched out his hand to let the Wei courtiers gathered beside him quiet down first, and then spoke: "I still have important matters to deal with, you Aiqing should step back first, and after a while, prepare to go out of the palace with me to welcome the champion Hou Banshi back to the court." ”

All the courtiers bowed down together, "No." ”

After speaking, Liu Che didn't say much, and walked towards the outside of the main hall with Xiao Shunzi's father-in-law, but just a few steps away, Liu Che suddenly stopped and stopped beside a person.

Glancing sideways at Wang Tingwei who was kneeling at his feet, Liu Che's eyes turned cold at this moment, and he said softly.

"Lord Wang is old, and it is not suitable to run around for my big man, so you can resign tomorrow and go home to recuperate."

Wang Lao Tingwei was discouraged, but he still kowtowed heavily, with tears in his eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Your ...... Compliance. ”

"Hmph." At this time, Liu Che let out another cold snort, and looked at the silent and trembling ministers gathered behind Wang Tingwei, Liu Che coldly dropped a sentence.

"If anyone dares to make peace, they will not be spared!"

"No......"
