Chapter 243: All Big Things Start with Small Things

"You want to ask for orders to go to Chang'an?"

Liu Wei looked at Cao Cao, who had gone and returned, with a slightly strange expression.

Boss Cao is a little impulsive today.

Cao Cao said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Taiwei is in the middle, and it is not suitable to personally lead the soldiers and horses to fight on the battlefield, and the minister wants to share the worries for His Majesty and reduce some of the burden for the Taiwei." ”

Liu Wei couldn't help but chuckle.

It turned out that Cao Cao was worried that the Taiwei was raising troops, which was not good for the court.

But he didn't seem to have figured it out yet, and Liu Wei didn't want him to control too many troops.

Cao Cao can now directly mobilize 20,000 troops, and indirectly affect about 40,000.

This elite army of 60,000 is already the limit of Liu Wei's trust in Cao Cao.

If there are more, Liu Bianke will be uneasy.

What the army of Chang'an said was to prevent Cao Cao and his family from getting involved.

"Meng De, if you say this, the captain will be unhappy." Liu Wei deliberately joked.

"There will be no war in Chang'an, and the training of soldiers and horses is only for deterrence, and it will not be able to fight."

"What you are doing now is far more important than going to Chang'an to shock Han Sui and Ma Teng."

Cao Cao was a little surprised that the emperor was so determined.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are brave, Han Sui and Ma Teng are a little frantic in the eyes of the ministers, this time there will be trouble, and it will be difficult to give up when you are idle." Cao Cao said.

Although Liu Wei didn't know what the result of Han Sui and Ma Teng's trouble this time was.

But he knew that this time they didn't attack Sanfuke.

"The reason why Han Sui and Ma Teng got into trouble was because of the contradictions between the tribes. If they cooperate, they will benefit both, and if they lose, both will lose, and the court is no longer the court that everyone can rub in the past year. Even if the two of them want to take the opportunity to burn the flames of war to Sanfu, they have to weigh it a little, and they can't fight. Liu Wei said, "But the deterrence of the imperial court must be there." ”

Cao Cao was a little regretful, "Minister...... Obey! ”

Cao Cao, who has been in the party for more than half a year, now wants to take the opportunity to give himself some great credit.

Watching Cao Hong and the others gallop all day long, to be honest, his eyes were a little hot.

finally seized an opportunity, but there was no play.

If he can take the opportunity to pacify Liangzhou, his merits will inevitably surpass the three generals of the late Han Dynasty, such as Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, in the mouth of the scholars, and become the real revival general of the Han Dynasty.

But alas, the emperor didn't allow it.

……

After receiving the holy decree, Huangfu Song handed over the errand, and rushed to Chang'an with hundreds of guards the next day.

Before he arrived in Chang'an, he sent a messenger first.

Jingzhao Yin Shi Sun Rui went to Jincheng and saw Han Sui.

Qing Kou Du Lieutenant Fifth Jun went to see Ma Teng.

On this expedition, Huangfu Song intended to experience his son Huangfu Jianshou and nephew Huangfu Li, both of whom he took with him.

After the herald left, Huangfu Li asked with some puzzlement: "Why did my uncle send someone to see Han Sui and Ma Teng, isn't this the prestige of surrendering to the imperial court?" ”

"Your Majesty is ready to pacify Liangzhou, but it is not yet the time to pacify. I sent people to see Han Sui and Ma Teng, not to reduce the prestige of the imperial court, but to prove to them that the imperial court cares about them, the border guards, and Liangzhou needs to be appeased for the time being. Huangfu Song said.

He is an old general, and the emperor is very clear about the strategic layout of the world.

What's more, some of them are directly from him.

"You two come out this time, get familiar with the battle formation with me, and put aside the affairs above the court for the time being." Huangfu Song said suddenly.

Huangfu Jianshou, who had perfectly inherited his father's appearance, changed his expression slightly, and asked, "My lord, have you noticed something wrong?" ”

Although his words were not explicitly stated, the implication was almost to ask, should the emperor be preparing to cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey?

Huangfu Song put his hand in front of him, looked at the road ahead, and said seriously: "Your Majesty has used a lot of celebrities and talents in the past two years, and there seems to be a dragon fighting for each other in the court. The two of you have not taken the big exam, and you have not been trained in the local county, and you are in important positions in the court, which is earned by my old face. ”

"It may seem like a beautiful scenery now, but maybe it will become a problem later. Take advantage of this opportunity for you to go to the army for some training. Originally, if there was no Chang'an, I would have wanted to put the two of you in the county for a few years. ”

"The court has a new atmosphere, and all the rules will slowly stabilize in the past two years. This should be a great opportunity for you, but with me in front of you, your road is not easy. ”

Huangfu Li smiled and said, "Uncle is too worried, you are a captain, how can the road of the two of us be difficult." ”

"Because your allegiance is to His Majesty today." Huangfu Song said, "Your Majesty governs the officials, and the laws are strict. ”

"My lord, I'm doing a good job now, if I go to the county, I won't be able to return to the court in a few years." Huangfu Jianshou muttered a little reluctantly.

He originally thought that this time he was just accompanying his old father with the army.

didn't expect the old father to want to leave the two of them directly.

"You're doing a good job, doing nothing all day." Huangfu Song snorted, "The same person as you is in the service, you look at what others are doing, what are you doing?" Jia Xu followed His Majesty to fight in the east and west, and made many military exploits, and you drank and had fun all day long, in addition to flipping through ancient books. ”

"Has Your Majesty ever arranged any errands for you? In the waiting, it was accompanied by the left and right, and the government of the court. ”

“这不是一个闲散差事,你却整日闲散到无所事事。”

Huangfu Jianshou drooped his head and said weakly: "This is not ...... Your Majesty has been leading troops outside, and even if I want to do something, I don't have a chance. ”

"Are you still strong?" Huangfu Song was a little angry, "All this is because you are talentless, don't look for those empty reasons." ”

"Whoa!" Huangfu Jianshou was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he hugged his fists perfunctorily, "I will stay in the army." ”

"No official, just a pawn!" Huangfu Song said coldly.

"Huh?!" Huangfu Jianshou was not calm in an instant.

Huangfu Li also felt a bit like the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond.

He's very busy, not idle at all.

"Han Fu can be a pawn in the army, why can't you?" Huangfu Song shouted.

"Don't be delusional that Your Majesty will give you a great future because of my merits. You will receive my favor, but it certainly has little to do with the future. ”

The beginning of Huangfu Song's real understanding of the emperor was to train in the West Garden.

At that time, not long after the death of the emperor, he was forcibly put on the throne by He Jin.

It was at that time that the emperor, who was honest and ignorant on the surface, suddenly showed his grandeur in the West Garden.

Only then did Huangfu Song know that the current Majesty was not at all the weakness and incompetence that the ministers of the court and the central government thought they were.

He acted in a very orderly manner and acted decisively.

For more than a year, Huang Fu Song's feelings about the changes in the emperor are extremely straightforward.

Today's Your Majesty is more and more like the Qin Emperor and Han Wu described in the history books.

It is difficult for such an emperor to have a way out.

No matter how great the grace is, it can't be worth the emperor's words.

Especially when the emperor came back this time, Huangfu Song's feelings were particularly strong.

This made him make up his mind to let Huangfu Jianshou and Huangfu Li leave the comfortable Luoyang and earn a future for themselves.

Huangfu Jianshou saw that his old father's intention was so firm, and he gave up struggling in his heart.

"Since my lord wants the two of me to go through the training, the matter of sending Han Sui and Ma Teng should be left to us." He said.

Huangfu Song was so angry that his mouth almost stared, "Look first, don't think about heaven!" ”

After saying that, he rode his horse and went to the front army.

Huangfu Li smiled and said, "Uncle always thinks that we are children. ”

"Have you ever seen a child my age?" Huangfu Jianshou said angrily.

"I haven't seen it before, but now I do." Huangfu Li pointed at Huangfu Jianshou and laughed.

Huangfu Jianshou's eyes moved, and he said to Huangfu Li sneakily: "Do you want to leave the army as soon as possible?" ”

"What moth do you want to toss?" Huangfu Li asked cautiously.

For this brother, Huangfu Li didn't dare to get too close.

虽是出身将门,可皇甫坚寿不通战阵,不解兵法,就喜欢舞蹈弄棒,结交游侠儿。

In the past, when he was in the army, it was just a big drink, and Huangfu Jianshou actually called Dong Zhuo and other Xiliang generals brothers.

At that time, Huang Fu Li was stunned.

Huangfu Jianshou smiled and slapped Huangfu Li's head, "Give my brother a face, speak subtly!" ”

"What a moth, I'm serious about it!"

Huangfu Li nodded, "Brother, you might as well talk about it first." ”

People are not serious, and Huangfu Li doesn't think that Huangfu Jianshou can have any serious ideas.
