Chapter 54: The Expedition

Liu Yi had asked casually, but he didn't expect this little girl to be like this, and the anger on her face was not inferior to that of those ministers of the DPRK and China, so she asked again with interest, "Why?" Sitting aside, with a calm face, staring at Huo Chengjun with dark eyes, if he changed to others, he would definitely feel uncomfortable, but it was a pity that Huo Chengjun was only thinking about Liu Ai's problem at this time, and he didn't care about the pair of eyes that looked at him at all.

"If you don't fight, you can indeed enjoy a moment of peace, but the Huns are getting bigger, how can they be at peace with my Han, it is better to take advantage of this two countries to unite and make the Huns submit, Your Majesty is just greedy for the comfort of this world, and does not want the Han to dominate the world?" Huo Chengjun went from a small voice that was almost talking to himself to a louder volume, and finally made eye contact with Liu Yi.

"Everyone wants to be comfortable, why can't I?" At this time, Xu Pingjun had also woken up, Liu Ying had gotten up and gone to the room, Huo Chengjun followed him, entered the room, said goodbye to Xu Pingjun, and left the Jiaofang Hall with interest, and went to the Changxin Hall of Changle Palace.

In the autumn of the first two years, when the leaves were yellowing and about to drift away, the Han sent troops to fight against the Huns with Wusun, Liu Yi had first ordered Chang to hold the Fu Festival to Wusun, and after agreeing with Huo Guang, he ordered Zhao Chongguo, Han Zeng, Tian Guangming, Fan Mingyou, Tian Shun, set off in five ways, each for the war, and need to chase the country for a thousand miles, where the enemy army, not allowed to seek peace, all killed, everyone understands that the battlefield is either you die or I die, today's spare, maybe it is the hidden danger of his day, so Zhao Chongguo, Han Zeng and the others who fought on the battlefield did not have any opinions, although Liu Yi already felt that it was too cruel, but when he thought of the flames, and when he thought of his grandfather and parents who were falsely murdered and died, he nodded in response.

"It's time to leave in three days." Huo Chengjun stood beside Han Zeng, but his eyes looked into the boundless distance, this time it was different from the past, he really went to the battlefield, he really wanted to enter the bloody storm, he didn't understand it before, but now he knows, how can he not worry, especially when he heard that his brother-in-law Fan Mingyou talked about those thrilling moments every time he returned from the border, those accidents that hung by a thread, he was even more worried, they were fighting separately, and there was really nothing left to protect.

"Look at you like this, why do you have to do this, do you know where the general has given me?" Different from Huo Chengjun's worries, Han Zeng smiled easily, and this smile did not dissipate until parting, "I led an army of 30,000 out of the clouds, the ancestors in the clouds fought several times, and the terrain is familiar, do you say this is an excellent place?" Looking at Huo Chengjun's puzzled eyes, Han Zeng kindly explained, he has little combat experience, and because of his status as a prince, Huo Guang arranged the safest place for himself, how could Han Zeng not know this, but he was also happy with Huo Guang's arrangement, although men all hope to make contributions and defend their families and defend the country, but on the battlefield is by no means the time to be reckless, it is a small matter to lose face and lose their lives, and it is a big matter to harm these 30,000 people, or even thousands of people.

Huo Chengjun turned his head to look at Han Zeng, "You can laugh, oh, this is the peace charm I asked for you, and my brother-in-law also has one, and if you really go to the battlefield at this time, don't let people see jokes." But there was a deep worry in his eyes.

Han Zeng stretched out his hand to take the peace talisman in Huo Chengjun's hand, glanced at it, and stuffed it into his cuffs, "Chengjun, I should come back at this time next year, when the world is peaceful, the army is triumphant, and we will meet again." There seemed to be a lot of things to say to Huo Chengjun in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it, so in the end he had to change it to triumph and then say goodbye.

After Huo Chengjun and Han Zeng parted, they met Fan Mingyou, who had left from Huo Mansion, "Eighth sister, where are you going to see the autumn scenery?" Fan Mingyou asked with a smile, his face was not about to fight, and his face was normal.

"The fourth brother-in-law is here for the expedition?" Seeing Fan Mingyou nodding with a smile, he said, "If there is no urgency in my brother-in-law's house, can I go to Chengjun's courtyard to sit?" ”

Hearing Huo Chengjun's words, Fan Mingyou knew that she had something, and thought about it for a while, "Since the eighth sister has this intention, how can the brother-in-law refuse it, so please ask the eighth sister to lead the way." The two of them went one after the other, all the way to Huo Chengjun's courtyard without a word.

In the courtyard, Fan Mingyou did not enter, but sat down on the stone bench in the bamboo forest, after all, the woman's courtyard is not allowed to enter and exit at will, "Eighth sister, what is the matter?" "I want to see something from Huo Chengjun's face, but Fan Mingyou doesn't know Huo Chengjun very well.

"Brother-in-law is still so calm, presumably because of the battlefield, although Long Ehou is young and often goes to the border, but he has no experience, if his brother-in-law can take care of it, please take more care of my brother-in-law." From childhood to adulthood, the Fan Mingyou that Huo Chengjun saw never panicked because of the war, but was calm.

"Brother-in-law still thinks it's something, so that's the case, but I don't know when I'll come back from this trip, if you are free, but you also want Fan Fu to accompany your fourth sister more, don't let her worry too much, if I meet this dragon marquis, I will take care of it for you." Fan Mingyou smiled even more, it turned out that the eighth sister was in this mind, Fan Mingyou thought that when he returned from this battle, there would be happy events in the family; It's just that no matter how fearless he is, this time he will be a year and a half, and he will not be relieved to be a person in Chang'an City.

Huo Chengjun blushed with shame when Fan Mingyou's inquiring eyes, for Han Zeng, she just didn't want to see her old friend leave her again, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, the fourth sister will be handed over to me." She could see the worry in Fan Mingyou's eyes when he mentioned the fourth sister, at this time, no matter how iron-blooded a person is, he is just a chivalrous husband, and his deepest concern is just that warm home.

"This is the peace charm I begged for, my brother-in-law will be able to return with a big victory as before, and the fourth sister and Chengjun are waiting for the good news of my brother-in-law in Chang'an." Finally, after learning that so many people were going to that unpredictable place, Huo Chengjun's face showed a smile, although it was very shallow, but it was also like relieving the heaviness of the past few days.

After ordering troops on the battlefield, after worshipping the ancestors in Taimiao, under the fact that Liu Yi had personally poured wine to see him off, the 150,000 soldiers went to their respective destinations in five ways, and there was no shortage of people to see them off along the way, and Fan Mingyou and Han Zeng also saw the familiar figure on the side of the road, and looked at it wordlessly, Han Zeng gave her a reassuring look, but she didn't want to say goodbye, and when she returned, it was a sea of changes, and everything had left the original track.

The autumn wind was fierce, rolling the flag, looking at the sound of horses' hooves that gradually disappeared in his eyes, and gradually could no longer be heard, the hundred officials had slowly dispersed, but Huo Guang was still in place, his eyes looked at the direction of the city gate, as if he could see the shadow of the army marching all the way, and he was always reluctant to withdraw his gaze, and in the end, only the two old confidants were left by his side, Zhang Anshi and Bing Ji.

"General, the army has gone away, let's go back." Zhang Anshi persuaded on the side.

Huo Guang retracted his eyes, but turned to look at the people worshiped in the temple, and sighed meaningfully, "In my life, step by step to the present dynasty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see that the Han Dynasty dominates the world, we are all old, and this world will belong to this group of young people sooner or later." Huo Guang looked at the clay statue, paused, and said, "I think at the beginning, my brother Huo Quai's illness took me into Beijing, thanks to the pity of Emperor Xiaowu, and entrusted the lonely with a heavy responsibility, Emperor Zhao was also the same when he left, I Huo Guang was deeply favored by the emperor, and now His Majesty is a wise king, I can also see the two emperors under the nine springs, just to destroy the Huns, to dominate the world is Emperor Xiaowu's life's request, but the fashion before leaving failed to get his wish, and now I have seen hope, but I am only afraid to be called by the first emperor, when he is unified in the world, remember to inform Emperor Xiaowu, Say goodbye to me, too, so that I can feel at ease underground. ”

Listening to Huo Guang's emotion, Bing Ji and Zhang Anshi also recalled too many things back then, "Yes, in the blink of an eye, we are also old." Bing Ji touched his beard, which was no longer black, this world is for young people after all.

They also came from Han Zeng and Liu Ai to such a young age, and at this age, Huo Guang also worked for power step by step, but when he looked back at the prime minister, he was just an ambitious and enthusiastic person, as powerful as him, but he couldn't withstand the word years, and in the end, what he thought about in his heart was still his family and country.

Gradually, the three of them had red eyes, and the scenes along the way, in this quiet Taimiao, scenes flashed through their minds, looked at each other and smiled, and turned around and walked.

After the army set out, Liu Yi was already waiting for the anticipation, watching Xu Pingjun's belly grow bigger day by day, thinking to himself, when he returned victorious in this battle, maybe it was when the child was born, and there was more expectation in his heart, and as the day of production was getting closer, the female doctor had already entered the palace to take care of it.

The person who takes care of the queen is not an ordinary medical woman, but the family members of courtiers who are proficient in medical skills, Chun Yuyan is the lucky one, I thought that I would take the opportunity to serve the queen and ask for a good position for my husband, but after a long time, I knew that Xu Pingjun didn't pay attention to the affairs of the court and China at all, and he didn't know about the affairs of officialdom, but he still had the idea of luck.

Huo Chengjun entered the palace even less because he agreed to Fan Mingyou's words, and it was not until Shangguan announced that she had entered the palace on this day that she went to the palace wall.

"If I don't look for you, will you forget me?" As soon as he saw Huo Chengjun Shangguan Youhao, he muttered to her, although he didn't want this girl to cause trouble in the palace, but he couldn't stop entering the palace to avoid trouble, Shangguan Youhao was also idle these days, although the harem affairs were cumbersome, but it was just a few things, plus Liu Yi had attached great importance to Xu Pingjun, Rong Meiren stopped for a while, Shangguan Youhao came to Huo Chengjun to speak, there are really not many people in this palace who can talk to each other, and the yellow butterflies flying in the wind in autumn seem to be able to fall into the heart lightly, and there are cool bursts of autumn rain, listening to the rain and looking at the branches of the lost leaves, can always recall too many things.

The eyes are the most difficult to deceive, just one glance, Huo Chengjun knows where Shangguan's hazy mind has flown to, but what can she say, what is the use of persuasion, she can only accompany her to quietly watch the leaves that come with a gust of wind and shake down.
