The battle between Xun Yu and Yinglin was extremely simple, as if they were just pulling soldiers and horses out and slipping around.

But Huangfu Song's side was not so easy.

He reorganized the 6,000 cavalry under his command, and also had nearly 10,000 foot soldiers, and surrounded Han Sui's cavalry of less than 4,000 people on all sides.

But he was still caught by Han Sui and killed.

If the first evil is not punished, this battle cannot be regarded as a complete achievement.

Even for Huangfu Song himself, he can't even be credited.

Huangfu Song, who was holding a breath of evil in his heart, led his soldiers and horses to pursue all the way.

By noon, the battle was over, and he had not returned.

Liu Wei raised the account and asked left and right: "Did Tan Ma bring back the news?" ”

Shisun Rui stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Captain pursued Han Sui all the way to the direction of Qiangzhong, and there is no more definite news for the time being. ”

"Qiangzhong ......" Liu Wei whispered this slightly unfamiliar, but somewhat familiar place name.

Throughout the history of the Han Dynasty, the chaos from the southwest never stopped.

Those scattered Qiang and Di tribes, large and small, are like wolves scattered on the southwest grassland.

When the Han court was strong, they bowed down to Chen Chen, obediently lowered their ears, pretended to be harmless to humans and animals, and willingly paid tribute year after year, and presented the best war horses, cattle and sheep, furs, and the most skilled women in the clan to the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

But when they noticed that the Han court was declining and weak, one by one they would instantly prick up their ears and show their sharp fangs.

In the name of the gods of heaven and the gods of the mountains, he made an alliance and cursed, listed the former tribute as hatred, and used troops against the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Han Sui has a friendly relationship with many tribes in Qiangzhong, and he must have fled to Qiangzhong to seek refuge from the Qiang people." Ma Teng stepped forward and said, "The minister asked for an order to go to the Qiang tribe and persuade them to hand over Han Sui. ”

Han Sui has a friendship with the Qiang people, and Ma Teng's friendship is not shallow.

"Not necessarily!" Liu Wei rejected Ma Teng's request, "Wait for the news of the captain first." ”

He looked around at the ministers in the tent and said, "The court is in decline, and the chaos on the frontier is better than a year, and I think this situation cannot continue. I am a big man, but I was sucked by a group of leeches all day long, what kind of body did I become? ”

"Internally, you can be gentle, but externally, the means must be tough and iron-blooded!"

Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty, the southern part of Liangzhou is initially decided, and at this time, it should be stabilized in Jincheng, Hanyang and other counties. ”

In the emperor's voice, Xun Yu had already heard the emperor's next plan.

It must be a heavy fist and a tough counterattack against the Qiang people who dare to protect Han Sui.

If Han Sui was captured by Huangfu Song, there would be two discussions at this time.

But if Han Sui successfully escaped into the Qiang tribe, then this is the emperor's most powerful reason.

"Tolerate the thieves and protect the thieves of my big man, that is the enemy of my big man. Requests for enemies and whispers, this is a shame, and this case cannot be opened! Liu Wei said in a shocking voice, his attitude was extremely resolute, "If Han Sui is blessed by the Qiang people, he will order them to be repatriated within a time limit, otherwise, go to war!" ”

"No matter how weak the court is, you must keep your bottom line, my Han can't develop the habit of being bullied by a group of weak enemies, and you must remain calm and restrained."

"If the imperial court does not have a strong will, the soldiers of our Han Dynasty will not have an invincible will to fight."

A Qiang tribe is not terrible at all.

They are only strong because multiple tribes will unite at any time, but it will take time to unite.

In the case that the imperial court occupies the absolute truth, Liu Wei's genes rooted in the blood do not allow him to make weak decisions, defend my homeland, and fight for every inch of land!

It's never just a slogan.

Xun Yu could only smile bitterly at this, having an emperor who is strong externally is definitely a good thing for the people of the Han Dynasty.

But he suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was thousands of times heavier.

To be strong externally, you need swords and soldiers outside, including money and food.

If the money and food can't keep up, it will be a disaster for the people of the Han Dynasty.

It's like Chen Lin can't get rid of his mission as a messenger, and he doesn't seem to be able to change the responsibility of money and food for the country.

"Your Majesty, General Ma Teng knows the Qiang people better, and if he wants to force the Qiang people to hand over Han Sui, the minister thinks that the imperial court can prepare early. The three generals Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Xiahou Yuan were recruited to go south, and while the morale was sharp, they were full of energy! Xun Yu said.

Since he couldn't persuade him, Xun Yu had to silently choose Jing Cong.

"Accurate!" Liu Wei said, "Let Jia Xu and Zhang Liao come back together, and Xun You and Zhang Ji can temporarily take Jincheng." ”

"Your Majesty, Yan Xing's subordinates should also practice, and they should not settle for one place." Xun Yu said again.

"I have forgotten about them, and they are all under Jia Xu's control." Liu Wei said.

"Yui!"

Liu argues about major matters, and there are often only henchmen and generals around him.

When Chen Ji and other accompanying officials knew about this, the holy decree had already gone to Jincheng.

"The court is so dilapidated, Your Majesty is ready to use troops against the Qiang people, Chen Laogou, do you advise or not to persuade this matter?" Ding Gong found Chen Ji as soon as possible, leaning against the door of the tent and shouting at Chen Ji who was writing a letter to his family inside.

Chen Ji didn't stop, and he didn't raise his head and said: "If you don't persuade you, if you want to persuade you, go away, don't disgust the old man here!" ”

“老匹夫，你当我愿意来啊！” Ding Gong scolded indignantly, shook his sleeves and left.

Subsequently, Ding Gong found Wang Yun again.

"Is Duke Ding also going to persuade His Majesty?" Wang Yun asked.

Ding Gong immediately said: "I have this intention, go together!" ”

The two met together, and Liu Wei was very rare this time, and he listened patiently to the chatter of the two.

"What the two ministers said is very reasonable, the national fortune is confused, the court is difficult, and the people are living a miserable life, so it is really not appropriate to take a stand lightly, especially with these nomadic tribes with countless horses and horses." Liu Wei said sincerely, "I also know the meaning of the two Qing families. ”

In this way, if Han Sui is ambushed, the matter will be stopped. But if Han Sui successfully escaped into the territory of the Qiang people, I used the two Qing family as envoys to convey my will, know it with affection, move it with reason, and ask them to hand over Han Sui? ”

Ding Gong and Wang Yun were instantly at a loss.

Persuaded, persuaded, persuaded, persuaded to yourself?

How is the emperor a bit like a snake beating a snake on a stick......

The two secretaries knew that Han Sui had been operating in Liangzhou for many years, killing Fu Xie (xie), defeating Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, Huangfu Song and other famous generals had also lost at his hands. If he is allowed to get out of trouble smoothly, Liangzhou will never have peace, and this first evil must be eliminated! Liu Wei said gently.

"Since the Liangzhou Rebellion, this is the first time that the imperial court has recaptured territory, and the fruits of victory have not come easily. The two Qing family are both former ministers of the court, and they have a good reputation in the world, if they are envoys, they should not fall into the prestige of the court. ”

"It's just...... Why do I look at the two Qing family as if they are very reluctant? ”

Ding Gong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood, and the minister is willing to be a pawn of the horse and persuade the Qiang people to hand over Han Sui!" ”

In fact, when he said this, his bitter gall almost jumped out of his throat.

The bowels of regret are blue.

Chen Ji's old dog must have calculated this a long time ago, so he didn't come to advise.

Insidious old dog!

Ding Gong greeted angrily in his heart.

Wang Yun pinched out his momentum and said proudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is ready to sacrifice his life for the country at any time. If you can use the minister's life to avoid a war, the minister is willing. ”

"Okay, none of my Han's courtiers have any cowards." Liu Wei said excitedly, "The two Qing families should prepare early." ”

"Yui!" Ding Gong lowered his head, and his face instantly fell.

As soon as the two of them came out of the Chinese army's big tent, he couldn't wait to complain to Wang Yun, "Chen Ji's old thing is really not a thing, he must have known that it would be like this, so he didn't come with me to advise Your Majesty." But he didn't even warn him, the sinister old dog. ”

"What does he know?" Wang Yun asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty will send us to our deaths!" Ding Gong said with resentment.

Wang Yun looked at Ding Gong fixedly, suddenly snorted coldly, and scolded, "The bladderless rats with rat eyes and inches, contribute to the country, how can they say that they will die?" You're a monkey and a crown thing, you'd better shut your stinky mouth, you're not worthy of being with me! ”

Ding Palace: ???
