After the end of the war in South Vietnam, Zhang Jiayang, Han Anguo, and Wang Hui returned to Chang'an, although they did not have a head-to-head confrontation with Minyue, but played a role in the battle, Liu Che naturally rewarded the three people, each with a knighthood, a thousand taels of gold, and convened a banquet for hundreds of civil and military officials, so that the officials could praise in unison, this formation is really groundbreaking, unique, as if to preach the strength of their armed forces to the world, at this time Wang Hui lost no time in playing:" Your Majesty, now South Vietnam has been settled, when the minister sent troops, sent Fanyang County, Yuzhang County, to order Tang Meng to go to South Vietnam to check the facts, here is a copy of Tang Meng's letter to His Majesty, about the plan to prevent South Vietnam, and asked the minister to hand it over to His Majesty for inspection.

"Oh, show me. Liu Che took the plate from Wang Hui's hand, read it carefully word by word, and handed it to Tian Wei after reading it, "Let's see if what Tang Meng reported is feasible." ”

Tian Wei took it and looked at it carefully, which means that after Tang Meng arrived in Nanyue, he was warmly received by the king of Nanyue, and entertained Tang Meng with a kind of konjac sauce (jǔjiàng) that he had never seen before, and when Tang Meng asked where this sauce came from, the king of Nanyue said that it was from Yelang Guo through 牂牁 (pronounced ZangKe) Transported from the river, the real origin is Bashu, and from the mouth of the king of Nanyue, I know that Yelang has 100,000 elite soldiers, Tang Meng suggested sending someone to send an envoy to Yelang, so that Yelang can be attached to the Han, if there is a disobedience to the Son of Heaven in South Vietnam in the future, you can send troops from Yelang to attack South Vietnam through the Qiqi River, which will be much smoother than sending troops from Yuzhang and Huiji to South Vietnam through the barren mountains and swamps.

Tian Wei, who was not interested in the war, finished reading it and said: "Your Majesty, now that we have made South Vietnam submit to us, there is no need to fantasize about the rebellion of South Vietnam, the wild land is not of much use to the Han, and it is difficult to predict whether this Tang Meng is true or not." ”

"Hehe, the prime minister is not good in military affairs," Liu Che turned to look at Wang Hui and said, "Where is Tang Meng now?"

"Report to Your Majesty, Tang Meng is waiting for news from his ministers outside the palace. ”

"Oh, let him in, then. ”

"No. ”

Not long after, Tang Meng walked into the main hall and saw Liu Che kneeling on the ground and shouting long live the emperor.

After Liu Che saw Tang Meng, he picked up the report: "Tang Meng." ”

"The minister is here. ”

"The article you reported is good, I don't know if it's true. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, these are all seen by the minister, heard with his own ears, every sentence is true, the konjac sauce mentioned in it, the minister brought some from South Vietnam, please taste it. ”

"Oh, show me. Liu Che took the konjac sauce in Tang Meng's hand, sniffed it with his nostrils, and licked it with his tongue: "Well, yes, it turns out that my Dahan Bashu is still so delicious." ”

Tang Meng continued: "After the minister arrived in Chang'an, he visited all the merchants who had been to Bashu and Yelang, and they all said that Yelang was in the land of Nanyi, and the Qiqi River was about 100 meters wide, which was enough to sail smoothly. Yelang is about more than 10,000 miles wide from east to west, and from time to time to carry out financial exchanges with South Vietnam, but South Vietnam still can not let its vassals, nominally a foreign minister of the imperial dynasty, in fact, the state lord who lives alone, subduing South Vietnam from Yu Zhang, Huiji sent troops to many high mountains and rivers, and it is difficult to march, if you can go down the river from Ye Lang to the east, it will be a strange plan to subdue South Vietnam. ”

"Well, wonderful," Liu Che thought for a moment, "I sent you to Bashu, and then envoy Yelang, are you willing?"

"The minister is willing to go, even if he is broken, he must let Yelang submit to His Majesty and be summoned by His Majesty. ”

"Okay, I will appoint you as the Zhonglang general, and prepare to pass through Bashu through Yelang on the same day, and report the latest situation of Nanyi to me. ”

"No. ”

Tang Meng happily prepared for several days, led more than 1,000 elite soldiers, and prepared food, clothing, cloth, Gold, silver, jewelry and other items set off, Tang Meng led the people and horses to detour to Bashu, overcoming thorns and thorns, crossing all dangers to Yelang, Yelang around the Xiaoyi officials saw the Han Dynasty's brocade silk are all in love, all think that Shu Road is difficult to walk, it is impossible to see again in life, Tang Meng is very generous to them, they are willing to obey Tang Meng's arrangement, after visiting all parts of Yelang, attracted Yelang Hou and Xiaoyi monarchs, made a covenant, agreed to set up a county in Yelang, put officials, and take Yelang Hou's son as the county order.

At the same time as Tang Meng sent the envoy Yelang, Chang'an City ushered in a group of Xiongnu envoys, and the messenger hurriedly reported to Liu Che, Liu Che met with the Xiongnu envoys, and left a letter written by the military minister Shan Yu, ordering Han Yan to read it, to the effect that in order to enhance the further friendship between the Xiongnu and the Han, I hope that the Han will remarry the princess to the military minister Shan Yu and Qin, Liu Che is very uncomfortable when he sees the word Heqin, and thinks of the weakness and incompetence of the Han, and peace can only be obtained by women, so he convened the ministers of civil and military affairs to discuss, Liu Che asked the imperial historian Han Anguodao: " Can the Han defeat the Xiongnu, and what are the opinions of the ministers on the Xiongnu's request for peace this time?"

Daxing ordered Wang Hui to preemptively say: "Your Majesty, the minister has served in the northern border counties for many years, and my Han and the Xiongnu are reconciled, basically they can only maintain peace for a few years, and the Xiongnu will break the covenant. ”

Liu Che immediately came to his senses and said, "Well, that's good, good advice." ”

Han Anguo immediately shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have different opinions, the Xiongnu live in the desolate grasslands in the north, have no fixed residence, send troops to fight thousands of miles away, and they can't even find people, how can they achieve victory." Now the Huns are accustomed to running in the wilderness like the wind, and it is not easy to find, even if we occupy their land, it will not be considered a victory, because it is not suitable for permanent settlement, and the Han army needs to penetrate thousands of miles into the enemy's territory, and the men and horses will be tired, and the enemy will take advantage of this to destroy us. No matter how powerful the team is to run thousands of miles on the grassland, the strength will be exhausted, just like the end of the strong crossbow can not penetrate the thinnest white silk produced by Ludi, the strong wind blowing from the bottom to the top, at the end of the day, even the power to float feathers is gone, it is not because the strength is not strong at the beginning, and it is not because of the exhaustion in the end, so it is not a wise move to send troops to attack the Xiongnu, it is better to promise the Xiongnu envoys to make peace with them. ”

Tian Wei listened to Han Anguo's words and immediately echoed: "What the Imperial Doctor said is extremely reasonable, and the suggestion of the Great Order is the work of a reckless man, and His Majesty is not good enough. ”

At this time, the other ministers all chimed in: "What the prime minister said is reasonable, and what the prime minister said is reasonable." ”

Liu Che saw this kind of formation, flicked his sleeves and said: "Then make peace, this matter is arranged by the prime minister, retreat from the dynasty." ”

"No. ”

Liu Che came to the apse and looked at Han Yan beside him, Han Yan immediately patted his ass and offered tea to Liu Che and said, "Seeing that Your Majesty's face is not good, please take a break from your Majesty's saliva." ”

"Hmph, look at these ministers who look like dogs every day, and they are all straw bales at critical moments, so it's not a matter of strategy, go and spread Zhang Jiayang and Wei Qing to come here. ”

"No. ”

Not long after, Zhang Jiayang and Wei Qing walked into the apse, Liu Che's face was still gloomy, and he said weakly: "The two of you know what happened in the hall just now." ”

Zhang Jiayang said: "Avoidance, I probably understand, Your Majesty refers to the matter of harmony." ”

"Exactly, there are more than 100 people in the whole palace, and only Wang Hui advocated sending troops to fight against the Xiongnu, and the other ministers were keen on harmony, which was not in line with my wishes, and it was not in line with my wishes. ”

Zhang Jiayang comforted: "Your Majesty is angry, and the minister thinks that the opinions of the ministers are also somewhat reasonable, and they have been maintained like this for the past few decades, and it is not an overnight thing to change habits." ”

"Yes, Zhang Aiqing is right, but I just want to change the rules, to change their habits, so weak, how to make my Han strong, two Aiqing, how is the current Jianzhang Erlang's training, expand the establishment of me, change to the Jianzhang Army, how about learning the art of war and tactics, we must study carefully, and we can't have the slightest slackness. ”

Wei Qing said: "Everything is being trained according to His Majesty's arrangement, and the soldiers have made great progress. ”

"What I want is not to make great progress, but to have a strong army that is strong enough to stand tall in the world, and requires every soldier of the Jianzhang Army to have the ability to lead tens of millions of people to kill the enemy in the southern and northern armies, not only strong individual ability, but also overall ability to be trained, and I must be trained at all costs. ”

"No. "Your Majesty obeys your orders.

"The two of you have time to go to the southern army and the northern army to have a look, and the change of the army is inevitable, otherwise it will not be enough to resist the four yi. ”

"No"

At this time, Han Yan walked in from outside the door and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Tian Wei is asking to see you outside the door." ”

"Let him come in," Liu Che then said to Zhang Jiayang and Wei Qing, "The two Aiqing can go back and continue to train the Jianzhang Army, don't let me down." ”

"No. ”

Tian Wei walked in and asked Liu Che for peace, Liu Che said to Tian Wei mockingly: "Uncle don't be polite, let you go and do the matter of making peace, it will be done so quickly." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has already arranged it, and this matter will be completed in a few days. ”

"Well, anything else?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have often received reports from the people and officials of Donghai County recently, saying that the Donghai County Guard has been bedridden for a long time and ignores the county government, so please make a decision. ”

"Oh, isn't the Donghai Commander the Jidian of the past year?"

"Exactly. ”

"Donghai County was in a state of chaos before, the officials were all bending the law for personal gain, and it could not be rectified for several terms, so I sent the honest and honest Ji Di to go, the news of the prime minister should be a false accusation, I will send someone to investigate, and the prime minister doesn't have to bother first. ”

"No, the minister retired. Tian Wei walked out of the main hall in small steps.

Liu Che said to Han Yan beside him: "You quickly go and inform Zhang Jiayang, and let him arrange the matter of Wei Qing's training of the Jianzhang Army, and then quickly go to the East China Sea to check the facts, see what the situation of the East China Sea under Ji Di's governance is, and come back to report to me." ”

"No, Yan will go and inform Zhang Jiayang. ”
