Chapter 104 Wei Qing and Huo Quai
"Your Majesty, I don't know what Weichen should do for the Battle of Hexi?" After a few minutes of silence, Wei Qing finally couldn't help but stand up and ask Liu Che.
Even now, he still has a trace of luck in his heart, he is lucky, and he is lucky to think that Liu Che accidentally forgot himself......
As a general of the Han Dynasty, as a famous general who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, how can he not have his share in such a major event as subduing Hexi, Wei Qing believes that Liu Che must have arranged more important tasks for himself.
But....... Is it possible?
Hearing Wei Qing's inquiry, Liu Che frowned unconsciously, and his face was a little ugly, in fact, today, Liu Che didn't want to summon Wei Qing to Weiyang Palace, because he didn't use Wei Qing's idea in this battle of Hexi, but because he was a general, Liu Che couldn't help him from coming on this occasion.
At that moment, Liu Che said to Wei Qing with a gentle smile.
"General, I have been fighting on the battlefield for my Han for several years, and I have worked hard and made great achievements, this time General Wei and I will sit in Chang'an together, and command the front-line soldiers to kill the enemy, without going to the front line in person."
Listening to Liu Che's words, Wei Qing's face turned pale.
Actually....... There is really nothing to do with him, and in such a big battle as the recovery of Hexi, Liu Che really doesn't need him.
Why, why the hell is this!
Anger gushed out, and Wei Qing's heart roared again and again!
Where am I missing? Where is my Wei Qing wrong!
Liu Che, why don't you use me, my Wei Qing is not old and dead!
Soon, Wei Qing understood the reason for everything, and after listening to Liu Che pacifying him, he immediately turned his attention to Huo Quzhi and Gongsun Aodao.
"The most important thing in this battle is to go to the sick and whether the army led by General Gongsun can successfully defeat the main force of the Huns in Hexi and fully recover Hexi, I want to say a word here, after the army enters Hexi in two ways, General Gongsun's soldiers and horses obey the dispatch of the hussar general, although the marching route and strategy have been planned in advance, but there will always be many accidents on the battlefield, if something really happens, General Gongsun, you must obey the military orders of the hussar general, understand?"
Gongsun Ao, who was over forty years old, did not hesitate, and immediately clasped his fists, "The minister obeys the order." ”
Huo Quzhi also stood up with a happy face, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Liu Che nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, Aiqing, whether you can subdue Hexi or not depends on your merits in this battle." ”
"No."
Listening to Liu Che's words, looking at the high-spirited Huo Quai, Wei Qing suddenly seemed to be aging for decades, and he understood everything, whether it was what he had seen before, or what he hadn't seen, Wei Qing all realized in Liu Che's words.
He is no longer the first general of the Han Dynasty, and that title has been taken away by his nephew, but because of his past military exploits, no matter how much Liu Che loves Huo Quai, he will not go too far.
Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, it is not excessive, but in the eyes of himself and Wei Qing, Liu Che is simply suppressing him by unscrupulous means, and even wantonly reducing his prestige in the army.
A great general who can't even participate in a big battle like the subjugation of Hexi, or a general who doesn't have any physical illness and is in the prime of life, such a high-ranking and powerful general, but he can't even participate in a big war that his old subordinates who have followed him for several years can participate.
Such a person has clearly lost Liu Che's trust, so how much is left of the prestige of the so-called famous general?
Wei Qing really never dreamed that in order to prevent himself from competing with Huo Qubing for the command of the Hexi War, Liu Che would simply cross him out of the list of the Hexi War!
Because of Huo Quai's current military exploits and prestige, only he can steadily overpower him in the entire Han Dynasty, and if he also participates in the Battle of Hexi, it will inevitably cause a situation where the two generals will compete for power.
This is inevitable, it is needless to say what kind of person Huo Quzhi is, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he can do whatever he wants.
If Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi led their troops into Hexi by two routes, there would only be one situation.
You hit yours, I'll hit mine.
Huo Quai's march to fight will only do what he thinks is right, if he feels that the military orders given to him by Wei Qing are not good enough and not perfect enough, he will definitely ignore them, as for the so-called military orders...... Heh, Huo Quzhi is a person who even Liu Che dares to contradict.
And Wei Qing ...... You let him obey Huo Quai's orders, and you let him, a first-rank general, obey the orders of the second-rank hussars? That's what humiliation is called.
Not to mention that Huo Quzhi is Wei Qing's nephew, even if it is his own son, it is impossible for Wei Qing to do this kind of thing that can make him commit suicide in shame.
So, there is only one end result.
You hit yours, I'll hit mine.
Just imagine, if when Hexi was subdued, there was really this kind of two-way situation of soldiers and horses, you fight yours, and I beat me, then ...... It is not necessarily necessary to lose, because this time the recovery of Hexi is similar to Huo Quai's personal show, and in the final battle, Gongsun Ao did not reach the designated place at all because he was lost, and in the end, Huo Qubing had the strength of an army to eliminate the main force of the Huns in Hexi.
I have to say that this young man is really not ordinary brave when he fights the Huns.
But Liu Che didn't have the ability to predict the future, he wouldn't know this, so he had to separate Wei Qing and Huo Quai.
Someone may want to ask again, since Wei Qing and Huo Qu are not allowed to be sick together, why not let him go with Li Guang and Zhang Qian to block Zuo Xianwang's reinforcements?
The reason is very simple, it is still Wei Qing's identity.
The dignified Han general actually had to take on the task of blocking this kind of attack....... spread out, what kind of face does he Wei Qing have to meet people.
Needless to say, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the existence of Li Guang and Zhang Qian is completely to cooperate with Huo Quzhi to subdue Hexi.
Whether it is Li Guang, Zhang Qian, or Gongsun Ao, all of them are revolving around Huo Qubing to start this Hexi War, if a Wei Qing is added to the names of these people, let him Wei Qing fight with Huo Quai...... Hehe, then Wei Qing might as well not participate in the Battle of Hexi and stay in Chang'an.
The above is the reason why Wei Qing did not participate in the battle of Hexi, to be honest, Liu Che is enough to give him face, and it is enough to think about him, otherwise if Liu Che asks Wei Qing to do those tasks of blocking the Hun reinforcements, then Wei Qing will not be even more disgraced, stay in Chang'an, and not participate in the war, it is already the best result.
Revolt? Refuse?
This is impossible.
If Liu Che really arranged for Wei Qing to block the Hun reinforcements, although he would be very sad and angry in his heart, he would never refuse, and he would never violate Liu Che's holy decree.
Thinking about everything, Wei Qing's mood became even heavier and sad, he slowly turned his head, looked at Huo Quai, who was smiling lightly with Gongsun Ao, and looked at his nephew, Wei Qing's heart actually gave birth to a hatred for no reason.
Yes, hate, how could he not hate, because of Huo Quai, Wei Qing, the general, is now reduced to staying in Chang'an, sitting on the cold bench, no matter how much he loves Huo Quzhi, but in the face of power and glory, he still feels hatred and jealousy towards Huo Quzhi.
But fortunately, Wei Qing was a sane person, and hatred and jealousy only existed in his heart for a short time before dissipating.
How can he hate to be sick, how can he be jealous of his own nephew?
Alas, although he is not old, he is so much younger than himself after all, and one day after his death, he will definitely be his successor......
If you succeed in subduing Hexi this time, then next time you are in a big war with the Huns, you ....... may really become a foil for Huo Qu's disease.
His nephew is too dazzling.
Wei Qing guessed very right, in fact, a few years later in the Battle of Mobei, Wei Qing has completely become the foil of Huo Quai, in the Battle of Mobei, Wei Qing was ordered to attack the weaker Zuo Xian Wang, and Huo Qubing is the elite against the Huns, Yi Zhi Xie Danyu.
The first general of the Han Dynasty, this title was taken off from Wei Qing's head as early as the end of the Battle of Hexi and placed on Huo Quai's body.
Whether Wei Qing wants to admit it or not, whether Huo Qubing wants it or not, this is already the case.
At this moment, endless sadness emerged in Wei Qing's heart, and he actually had the idea of returning to his hometown!
But after all, it was just an idea, and he wasn't so stupid as to give up everything he had now just because of a big war.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the army to go on the expedition, Wei Qing did not follow Liu Che and the civil and military officials to see off Huo Quai's army, but returned home alone, and there was an indescribable decadence in the whole person.
Sending Huo off for illness?
Spare him.
Enough blows have been taken on this day.
........
When he saw that Wei Qing was the last person to stagger out of the main hall, Liu Che on the dragon chair suddenly showed a strange smile.
It seems that I have created a gap between Wei Qing and going to illness.
That's right, Liu Che just deliberately stimulated the contradiction between Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi.
He did it for his reasons, of course.
If Liu Che wanted to save Wei Qing's face to the greatest extent, then there was no need for him to tell Gongsun Ao immediately after pacifying Wei Qing that when the army entered Hexi, everything had been ordered to go to the sick.
Doesn't this make it clear to everyone that Huo Qubing is the supreme commander of this war? Or in the case of just appeasing Wei Qing.
Hehe, Liu Che was very ruthless, his words could be said to have deeply pierced Wei Qing's heart, and because Liu Che's two sentences were connected together too easily to make people think about it, so after Liu Che's words fell, everyone in the hall couldn't help but set their eyes on Wei Qing and Huo Quai.
The gaze that kept sweeping back and forth between the two seemed to be making some kind of comparison.
Compare the weight between the two.
And Liu Che's words were almost telling the generals in the hall in disguise.
The era of Wei Qing has passed, and now, it is the glory that only belongs to the champion Hou.
........
Liu Che, who was on the dragon chair, sighed deeply, and his face was unbearable.
Alas...... Wei Qing, don't complain about me, don't complain about not giving you face, I really can't help it, it's different from you, he is still very clean, unlike you, he has completely fallen into the big quagmire of Wei's.
I admire and like him very much, so I'm going to push him against your Websters.
Because I want a famous general who is loyal to the Han family, not a high-ranking relative.
