Liu An, the king of Huainan, looked at the eight princes and said very sadly: "Could it be that the eight princes who claim to be the wisest in Huainan have become deaf, this king is nothing more than to let the people live a happy and stable life." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Among them, Jin Chang couldn't help it, so he stood up and said to Liu An: "King, the minister thinks that the emperor's holy decree cannot be disobeyed, since the emperor has promulgated such an edict, it must have been carefully considered, if we raise the banner to oppose it, the emperor will definitely establish us as a model of opposing the edict and immediately eliminate it, so that it will be a disaster for our Huainan country." ”

"Short-sighted, really short-sighted, are we defenseless women and children?"

"Great King, when we were the first emperor, the military power of our feudal country was transferred to the emperor. ”

"Hmph, most of the Huainan soldiers are natives of Huainan, basically the old department of the king, if the king gives an order, the generals will definitely follow the king to conquer Chang'an. ”

When the eight princes heard Liu An's words, their eyes widened and they were speechless.

Liu An saw everyone's doubts, so he said with some excitement: "Don't you Aiqing believe it?"

"The king, the lieutenants are all appointed by Chang'an, I'm afraid that if the king has a hint of trouble, the news will quickly spread to Chang'an. ”

"Rest assured, once the incident starts, the lieutenant may not have figured out what the situation is going to find the first emperor, all the county guards of Huainan Kingdom are highly favored by this king, and they dare not disobey the dispatch of this king. ”

"We believe what the king says, but the minister thinks that this kind of plan can be talked about in private, and we must not spread it around. Wu was continued.

"Don't worry, you are all the king's henchmen, today the king is to let you Aiqing come up with a plan, if Chang'an has further actions that are unfavorable to us, we should have a countermeasure. ”

"No, don't worry, no matter what, we are your loyal followers. The Eight Princes shouted in unison, from the bottom of their hearts, they were against Liu An's intention to rebel, but in view of the fact that they all relied on Liu An to survive, they had to obey Liu An's orders.

At this time, Liu An's head was a lot more relaxed, so he pondered for a moment and said: "With your words, this king is relieved, and now that the holy decree has come, this king orders you to think about it when you go back, how to deal with the emperor's further actions, and take out all your wisdom to solve the king's worries." ”

"No. ”

"Alright, all stand down, this king needs a little rest. ”

"No, the king relaxes, and the ministers retire. The eight princes, who were anxious to get out, retired in turn.

Liu An sat in the main hall and instantly felt a little lonely, convened the eighth prince and did not negotiate any results, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep unconsciously, and suddenly saw an old man in white clothes appear in front of him, Liu An couldn't help crying bitterly and said: "Father, is it my father? ”

I saw the old man grinning and said, "Silly boy, this king is now over his prime, how can he not be old." ”

It is also true that Liu Chang was in his twenties when he died, and Liu An was only about five years old at that time, I only remember what my father looked like when he was young, and the white-bearded old man in the dream was connected with his father by virtue of his feelings. ”

The white-bearded old man laughed when he heard Liu An's words: "Silly boy, my father has not been involved in political affairs for a long time, how can he stand up for the children, children, you have to rely on yourself in political matters, your brothers must join hands to be invincible, remember, remember." As he spoke, he turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared into the light in the distance.

Liu An desperately stretched out his arm and shouted in his voice: "Father, don't leave me, Father ......" Liu An's own voice woke him up from his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was just a dream, so he rubbed his eyes and sat up, and slowly thought: "Could it be that my father has seen his current situation in heaven, oops, this is obviously my father instructing me how to deal with my current situation, yes, yes." ”

Thinking of this, Liu An immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to Tianshen and said, "Thank you father, may my father bless Huainan with the spirit of heaven and prosperity and eternal prosperity." ”

Then Liu An stood up and tidied up his clothes and slowly walked to the door of the main hall, looked left and right, and the messenger was waiting on the side, so he ordered: "Go and prepare the car, this king is going to Hengshan Kingdom." ”

"No, my lord. ”

Liu An got into the carriage and came to the capital of Hengshan like a lightning speed, and the guards guarding the gate immediately reported to Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, Liu Ci immediately jumped up from the chair and happily came to the city gate to greet Liu An. ”

"Hahaha, Brother Wang hasn't seen you for a long time, come here to get together and talk about brotherhood. ”

"Oh, I should go to see Brother Wang, Brother Wang, please come to the city. ”

Liu Ci is Liu An's own brother, so both parties are no strangers, and when they sat down in the palace, Liu An grinned and said, "Brother Wang, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

"Yes, yes, the last time we met was in Chang'an the year before last. ”

"Today, my brother came to talk about family affection, and when we were still young children, my father was angry and left, leaving us three weak brothers, but unfortunately after our brother died, you and I were left to rely on each other as companions. ”

"Yes, Brother Wang, we are the closest in this world, and it depends on us to continue the bloodline of our father. ”

"But now the emperor is strong, three days and two new policies were promulgated, after the collapse of the empress dowager, there is no one to restrain the emperor, and now he has issued a decree of grace, ostensibly to favor our children and grandchildren, but in fact to disperse our forces, and finally break each one. ”

"Uh, uh" Liu Ci suddenly heard Liu An say this and didn't know how to respond, so he squeaked and wondered,

"What does Brother Wang mean?"

"Now that the emperor is stubborn and has no restraining power, we may be the first to become the first group of people to use the emperor's knife. ”

"Brother Wang, the power of our king is given by the emperor, just do your duty as a king, don't worry about other things that haven't happened. ”

"Brother Wang, you and I are the grandsons of Emperor Taizu Gao, this current emperor is our nephew, there was a reason in the world for nephews to strangle their uncles, but they are used to doing such things, isn't our uncle Wu Wang Liu Biao a good example, besides, our father was also forced to death by them, has this kind of hatred been forgotten?"

"Oh, Brother Wang, I don't dare to forget, but what can we do. When Liu Ci heard Liu An say this, he immediately cried bitterly and held Liu An's hand.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, last night I dreamed that my father appeared in a dream, reminding our brothers to face today's predicament together, today I am here to tell Brother Wang to be ready, we can't sit still, once there is a stir in the world, we can take a piece of armor to the north and also come to a Qingjun side, maybe the world is you and my brother have the final say." ”

Liu Ci hesitated for a long time and replied slowly: "The matter has come to this point, as long as Brother Wang commands, Brother Wang swears to follow Brother Wang." ”

"Okay, I just want Brother Wang's words. Liu An stood up and said when he saw that the goal had been achieved, "Brother Wang has a lot of things, today Brother Wang will take Brother Wang around this city, and then go back to the house to make arrangements." ”

"Okay, okay, by the way, Brother Wang will point out to my brother and see how I prepare in Yicheng. ”

"Yes, please. ”

"Brother Wang, please. ”

Liu An stayed in Yicheng for a whole day, and then the two said goodbye in tears, and made an offensive and defensive covenant to wait for the world to change.

Let's talk about Chang'an, Wei Qing is sweating like rain of training people, holding a sword, loudly commanding the men and horses of the Jianzhang army, the master father Yan doesn't know when to stand in the distance to look this way, Wei Qing turned around and saw the hesitant master father Yan, he stopped and waved to the master father Yan, the master father Yan stood there and stretched out his hand to Wei Qing to respond, Wei Qing realized that the master father Yan might have something to do, so he signaled the soldiers to train independently, turned around and walked to the side of the master father Yan, the master father Yan saw Wei Qing coming over, and hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "Meet the Hou Ye." ”

"May I ask why the Lord Father is here?"

"Oh, Master Hou, just now the emperor received an urgent report from the border pass, saying that the Huns have invaded our border pass again. ”

"Ah, this matter has been expected for a long time, what is the emperor doing now?"

I just stared intently at the map hanging on the wall, without saying a word, when I stepped forward to ask the emperor's instructions, he just called Hou Ye, you, so I hurried to let Hou Ye enter the palace as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, let's go. Wei Qing took off his armor and threw it to the soldiers on the side, and followed the master father and walked out.

The master father said, "Master Hou doesn't arrange the training here. ”

Wei Qingyi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it, Zhang Cigong and Gongsun Ao will do all this." ”

"Okay, then let's hurry up and enter the palace. ”

The two of them hurriedly came to the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace, only to see Liu Che still staring at the map on the wall, this time the master father Yan thought that Liu Che was frightened by the force of the Huns, so he wanted to step forward to comfort a few words, who knew that at this time Liu Che heard the footsteps of the two people and turned his head, the master father Yan and Wei Qing hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

The master father Yan continued: "Please take care of the dragon's body, and the matter of the Huns' invasion of the border can be handed over to the courtiers to do." ”

"Hahaha, Master Father, do you think I was scared by the Huns?" Liu Che suddenly laughed.

"I don't dare. The master father hurriedly bent down and saluted.

"Then how do you say I should respond to the Huns?" Liu Che then asked the master father.

"Your Majesty, now that you are on this, you should let them pay back their blood debts. "Master Father Yan really fully understood Liu Che's thoughts, so he said it according to Liu Che's meaning, but he also had a little willingness to fight back against the Huns in his heart.

"Listen, I am going to have a showdown with the Xiongnu in this life, and the humiliation of the emperors must be resolved here by me, so that the Huns know what the real Han is. Liu Che said this and then said to Wei Qing, "Wei Aiqing came just in time, look at this map, this time the Huns attacked Shanggu and Yuyang counties, the people at the border were killed and injured, and all the grain and livestock were robbed, so this revenge must be avenged." ”

"Your Majesty is right, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, the minister is willing to put on a battle robe to attack the Huns again. ”

"Okay, that's what I mean," Liu Che said, turning his gaze to the map on the wall, "Two Aiqing, please see, "The Huns are attacking the northeast this time, and we need to seriously think about how to avenge this time." ”

"The minister already had an idea, I don't know if it's feasible. Suddenly, Wei Qing said.

"Oh, I also have an idea, why don't we all write it on the table and show it together to see if we agree. ”

"Since Your Majesty has such a Yaxing, let's get started. Wei Qing said.

The two of them wrote on the table separately, and when they both finished writing at the same time and looked up to see what the other had written, they both laughed, and it turned out that both of them had written the same four words, 'sound east and west'.

The two turned around and stared at the map and looked at it again, Liu Che said: "Okay, then we will attack the west, this time we must beat the Huns, we will be safe." ”

The master father stood aside and listened in a fog, so he said silently: "Your Majesty and the Hou Ye, what are you talking about?"

"Master Father Aiqing doesn't need to think about it, I and Wei Aiqing already have an idea. ”

"Oh, it seems that the minister is a little stupid, so let's go and pour water for Your Majesty and the Hou Ye. After the master finished speaking, he left.

Liu Che looked at Wei Qing in front of him and said: "This time it's all up to you Wei Aiqing, try your best to win it in one fell swoop, Chang'an will be safe, and Dahan will be stable." ”

Wei Qing bowed with both hands and said categorically: "Your Majesty, if the minister does not succeed this time, he will become benevolent, and Chang'an will rely on His Majesty's cooperation." ”

"I will issue a summons today, so that Li Guang, the Taishou of Youbeiping, will gather all the local horses and horses to make a situation of going to Yuyang and Shanggu, these news must be hyped up, so that the world will know that my Han is going to send troops to counterattack the Xiongnu from these two places, and then Aiqing will quietly set off from Chang'an and advance towards the goal. ”

"Nuo, the minister led the army to leave Chang'an this time without swearing, without beating gongs and drums, the army left quietly from Chang'an in small groups and in multiple batches, and then went to Yunzhong to meet with Li Xi's headquarters, and quickly swept the Xiongnu to the west and south, so that we would win a complete victory. ”

"Okay, I immediately ordered Li Xi's department to quietly move closer to the clouds, I prepared 30,000 horses for Aiqing, plus 10,000 horses for Li Xi's department, all of them will be dispatched by Aiqing after gathering, Wei Aiqing will set off on the same day, I am waiting for the news of Aiqing's triumph. ”

"No, the minister obeys. "After Wei Qing received the order, he was going to leave to prepare.

Seeing the master father Yan walking towards this side with two statues of water, the master father Yan saw Wei Qing's posture about to leave, so he said: "Your Majesty, Hou Ye, let's drink saliva first, and then hurry up this moment." ”

"Okay, come, Wei Aiqing, we will drink it first with water and wine, and after the matter is completed, we will be in this hall, and I will feast and drink the ministers to celebrate Aiqing's achievements. ”

"No. The two of them took a drink of it, and Wei Qing then turned around and strode out of the Xuanshu Palace.

Leaving the master father Yan to look at Liu Che's smug smile, he said to himself inexplicably: "It seems that the one who can solve His Majesty's heart disease has to be the heart medicine of Marquis Wei." ”

"Lord Father Aiqing. Liu Che said suddenly.

"The minister is here. The master father hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Don't stare here, immediately pass on my will, let Li Guang of Youbeiping gather 10,000 people and horses nearby, and prepare to go out of Yuyang and Shanggu to fight back against the Huns. ”

"No. ”

Liu Che then advised: "To publicize the gongs and drums in the streets and alleys of Chang'an, and let the people of Chang'an know that I am going to send troops from Shanggu and Yuyang to fight back against the Xiongnu." ”

"This," the master father was puzzled, and then saw Liu Che's unquestioning eyes, so he replied: "No, the minister receives the order." ”
