On the sixth day after the end of the Battle of Longcheng, Huangfu Song led his army back to the camp.

He brought Han Sui's head, a large group of war horses, and more than 3,000 Qiang soldiers.

When such a huge team appeared in the camp, even Liu Wei was immediately alarmed.

In the past few days, the imperial court has sent many scouts to track down the traces of Huangfu Song.

Unexpectedly, Tanma hadn't come back yet, and Huangfu Song came back first.

And it also brought such a big gift.

After Huangfu Song returned to the camp, he did not remove his armor, so he first met Liu Wei for the first time.

He personally held the wooden box containing Han Sui's head, knelt in the tent, and shouted, "Your Majesty, the minister is fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

"This battle, the captain has worked hard." Liu Wei said with relief, "Let's talk to me about what happened." ”

As the saying goes, people fight for a breath, and Buddha fights for a stick of incense.

皇甫嵩为了争这一口气，这一次可真的是铆足了力气。

Huangfu Song handed over the head to Zhao Ye, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, Han Sui outside Longcheng took advantage of the gap in the battle and led less than a thousand soldiers and horses to flee. After the minister reacted, he immediately led people to chase after him. ”

This chase was three days, and the war horses under the command of the minister were not as good as Han Sui's war horses, and they were much ahead of him. Unexpectedly, he took advantage of the time to take the lead, and actually sent a messenger to contact a group of Qiang of Xian Lingqiang, and the leader of the Qiang, Tua, had already had an old friendship with Han Sui, and personally led a cavalry of more than 5,000 people to rush to help. ”

After Han Sui had reinforcements, his momentum suddenly soared, and he led the crowd to fight back, and was killed by the minister in one fell swoop. The Qiang of the first zero Qiang actually helped the rebels of the court, and the ministers rebelled and destroyed the Qiang tribe. The captives numbered about 30,000, tens of thousands of furs, and countless cattle and sheep. ”

After Liu Wei listened, he had only one thought in his heart.

This person should still have some pressure.

Look at Huangfu Song, when there is no pressure, look forward and backward all day long, think about this and that, and even forget to guard against night attacks.

After a little pressure, he wiped out a group of Qiang with 6,000 cavalry and robbed more than 30,000 people.

This achievement lived up to his reputation as a third general at the end of the Han Dynasty.

"The captain fought brilliantly in this battle." Liu Wei praised from the bottom of his heart, "Come on, kill cattle and sheep and prepare for a feast, I personally celebrate the achievements of the Taiwei and the soldiers of the Chang'an Army." ”

"Yui!" Zhao Ye responded.

"The minister should not be praised so much by His Majesty, the minister should be regarded as shameful and courageous." Huangfu Song said, "There was some luck in winning this battle, Tua led the army in a hurry, and was defeated in one fell swoop. ”

"No matter how the Taiwei wins, I only see that the Taiwei wins, and it is a big victory!" Liu Wei said in a shocking voice, "Not only did he bring back Han Sui's head, completely eliminated the biggest traitor in Liangzhou, but also exterminated a group of Qiang who tried to help the thief, and made great contributions." ”

The process is only of reference significance to Liu Bian, and it has never been so important.

All he values is results!

The results of this battle deserve a great victory.

There is no morality to talk about the first Lingqiang, who has invaded the frontier several times.

……

The celebration banquet was set up in Longcheng.

Liu Wei feasted the whole city.

From the emperor Liu Wei to all the people in Longxian who were poisoned by the rebels, each person had a bowl of broth.

"Tai Lieutenant, but do you think my celebration banquet is shabby?" At the banquet, Liu Wei saw that Huangfu Song had been silent, so he asked.

Huangfu Song immediately got up and said: "The minister has never seen such a unique celebration banquet, so he is a little out of shape. ”

"The imperial court should celebrate this great victory with the people who have suffered so much in Longxian. During Han Sui's occupation of Longxian, the people in this city suffered humiliation and torture. Liu Wei said, "The imperial court has arranged for help, and I also hope that with this bowl of broth, they can see hope in their suffering, and understand that the imperial court will not abandon them." ”

This is a trick that Liu Bei is accustomed to using.

But Liu Wei didn't have any purpose in relieving the people in Longxian County, he just couldn't see such suffering.

Protecting his people and keeping them well fed and clothed is his responsibility as an emperor.

"Your Majesty is really a generation of benevolent and righteous kings!" Huangfu Song paused slightly, bowed his head and said sincerely.

Liu Wei smiled.

Huangfu Song can say this, probably because he has never seen the real prosperous world.

"Your Majesty!" Ding Gong suddenly stood up, "The minister has a saying, don't vomit or be unhappy." ”

Liu Wei's face suddenly lost a smile, this guy will definitely not have anything good to stand up.

"Say it." Liu Wei said.

Ding Gong walked out of the table and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is not that the ministers are cowardly and worried, it is really that the imperial court is in an eventful time at this time, and Xian Lingqiang is the most powerful tribal alliance after the Xiqiang after the research and cultivation of Qiang. Since the founding of Emperor Guangwu, Xian Lingqiang has invaded Sanfu dozens of times, and the soldiers are strong and strong, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers can be gathered. ”

"Taiwei really shouldn't have slaughtered Xian Lingqiang so rashly, if he completely angered Xian Lingqiang, causing them to lead the crowd to attack, the western frontier of the imperial court, I'm afraid there will be no peace again."

"At this celebration banquet, the minister should not have said these words, but several days have passed since the outbreak of the war, and the minister is worried that if the minister does not say these words again, I am afraid that it will be a little late. The minister implored His Majesty to think twice, and sent an envoy to explain the reason to the leader of Xian Lingqiang, and send another generous gift to the alliance. ”

Liu Wei was so angry that he wanted to cut people.

He took two deep breaths before suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Xun Qing also suggested a few days ago that it is not appropriate for me to start a war with the Qiang people, I don't know what I think today?" Liu Wei asked instead.

Xun Yu got up, "Your Majesty, there has never been a reason for the victor to send an envoy to the defeated to sue for peace. ”

Although he suggested that it was not appropriate to start a war for the time being, he did not suggest that the court pretend to be a grandson.

"Ding Qing, I really want to ask you, are you an official who was sold?" Liu Wei asked.

The courtiers around him chuckled.

Ding Gong's face suddenly became a little unbearable, "Why did Your Majesty insult Your Majesty?" ”

"But if you say a word, I will not greet you like this." Liu Wei got up suddenly, almost pointing at Ding Gong's nose and scolded, "I feasted the army and civilians here to celebrate the great victory of my Han Dynasty's Western Expedition. How? Do you still want to pay tribute to the first zero Qiang year? ”

"What kind of courtier are you, and what face do you have to stand on top of the temple? Pigs and dogs know better than you what an official is and what a minister is! ”

"Xian Lingqiang has offended my Han frontier several times, and it has become a so-called strong in your mouth. Pigs and dogs are not as good as things, come to people, kill me! ”

Ding Gong didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, and took advantage of the gap between the guards to step forward, jumping to his feet and arguing with reason: "Your Majesty is understandable to protect the face of my big man, but the court has made enemies on all sides, and at this time, if you grudge first, it will only make the people fall into deeper waters." The minister can die, but the minister doesn't vomit and is unhappy! ”

Xun Yu stood up, "Duke Ding, you never seem to have cared about state affairs, do you know how many of Han Sui's subordinates are Xian Lingqiang?" There are more than 30,000 people, and they have long been in collusion with Han Sui to commit my big man! ”

Ding Gong, who had just been grabbed by the arm of the guard, was stunned.

Is there such a thing?
