There is money, and there is a lot of money?

Wei Yan listened.

Confused.

If he has money, how can he not know it himself.

"What the hell are you talking about, didn't I say everything, I don't have any money, didn't you hear? I, no money! Wei and his wife were lying on the bed, but there was already some impatience on their faces.

Huo Guang smiled and said: "How can you have no money, you are a Guan Neihou and have taxes, okay!" ”

In fact.

Whether it's the marquis of Guan Nei or the marquis. Since Emperor Jing, he has no longer given the feudal country, only a little food tax.

As for the food yip, there are also many and few, and many such as Changping Hou and Champion Hou can reach 10,000 households.

There are only a few hundred.

Wei Yan was named the Marquis of Yichun, although this was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's reward for his father Wei Qing, and there was very little food, but he was a marquis, and he could receive taxes at the bottom.

And!

The most important thing is not the tax, but the name!

Just because Wei Yan himself is the Marquis of Yichun, the nineteenth title of the twentieth rank!

He wants money?

Isn't that a lot of people licking their faces and sending them away?

What's more, he is also the son of the general Wei Qing, the Wei family is a family of five marquis, and he is the most noble family in this Chang'an City, except for the royal relatives.

After hearing Huo Guang's statement, Wei Yan had great doubts on his fat face, as if he was asking Huo Guang, and as if he was muttering to himself, "Taxes? What taxes, how did I not know there was still this thing! ”

How did he not know?

bullying men and women in Chang'an City every day, knowing that there are ghosts.

Huo Guang shook his head, and after secretly disdainful, he opened his mouth to explain: "The tax is the food that His Majesty has sealed, and you have no money, so you can collect taxes from people." Old watch, hurry up, let's bring up the rent tax for so many years. ”

"Oooh!" As soon as Wei Yan heard that there was a tax to collect, he immediately became interested.

But as soon as he got up from the bed, his face suddenly became hideously twisted.

It hurts!

"Hey, no, no, I can't go today!" I saw Wei Yan gasp, and as soon as she got up and walked two steps, she leaned on her waist and lay down on the bed.

Huo Guang looked at Wei Yan, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wei Yan said with a sad face: "My ass was opened by my father, and I can't get off the ground, old watch, let's wait for two days for this matter, and I'll go back when I'm better!" ”

"Well..."

......

......

Handu, in the Weiyang Palace.

The belligerent Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty called Wei Qing and Huo Quai, the imperial arms of the Han Dynasty, all over.

Wei Qing is the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a relative of the emperor and the country, and his noble status naturally does not need to be said.

As for Huo Qu's disease?

Wei Qing is his uncle, the queen is his aunt, and the emperor is his uncle, and his status is no less noble than that of General Wei Qing.

Now the three of them gathered together to discuss national affairs.

In fact, it's a family meeting.

And the reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty called the two of them today was naturally to discuss the matter of dealing with the Xiongnu in the north.

Some time ago, in order to recover Hexi, the attack on the Xiongnu in the north was relaxed, so that Yizhi had time to take the Huns away to Mobei.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was bound to fundamentally solve the threat posed by the Xiongnu to the Han Dynasty, so he prepared to launch another large-scale military campaign.

It is also known as the Battle of Mobei in later generations!

But here's the thing!

Starting a war is a very money-burning act for the state. Like the previous battles of Henan and Monan and the two Hexi battles launched by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu, the "legacy" left by Emperor Wenjing has been squandered.

Another bigger war?

It's not just going to be a waste of money.

So!

Even the general Wei Qing couldn't help but express his worries.

"Your Majesty, the Huns have fled far away to the depths of the desert, and there is still a desert in between. If our army wants to go to the north of the desert, a cavalryman needs to be equipped with three horses to carry the heavy supplies, so that it is possible to achieve combat across the desert! Wei Qing said bluntly.

The general is not only able to fight, but also shrewd.

He knew that the emperor must fight this battle, and if he spoke out and advised, then he would definitely be disliked by His Majesty.

Simply!

He told him about the money needed to start this war, so that Liu Che understood the price needed to start this war.

One cavalryman with three horses?

Doesn't sound like much, right?

And what about the 100,000 cavalry?

That's a whole 300,000 horses, 300,000 horses!

Even if the Han Dynasty is turned upside down, it may not be able to make up such a huge number in a short period of time. What's more, the cavalry's weapons, saddles, and most importantly, food, and other logistical support are not counted.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard the general he had rewarded him say this, and he immediately fell silent.

War!

It's not child's play.

According to Wei Qing, with the current national conditions of the Han Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to launch such a large-scale war.

After a moment, Emperor Wu of Han turned his gaze to Huo Qubing and asked, "Hussar General, what do you think?" ”

As soon as Huo Quzhi heard this, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, my eight thousand hussars are good at vertical and horizontal raids, and they don't need to carry baggage supplies. As long as you travel lightly, you can fight wherever you want. ”

"But this time, the Xiongnu Dadan is far away from the desert north, separated by the desert, and they can't even see the shadow of the enemy for thousands of miles, so they can't get supplies from the enemy."

"If you want to cross the great desert, you need to rely on the supply of baggage troops."

As soon as this remark came out.

A trace of anger began to appear on Emperor Wu of Han's face.

Huo Qubing was his favorite general, and eight hundred hussars took the Huns' nest and became a marquis in the first battle. In the battle of Hexi, 10,000 cavalry swept hundreds of thousands of Huns.

Such achievements, even if you look at the past and the present, few people have done it.

But now.

Even Huo Quai, who was the champion of the three armies, said that it was difficult to cross the desert, and who else could fight this battle among the generals of the Han Dynasty?

"You two generals, how do you talk is similar to those Zi Wenchen." When Emperor Wu of Han heard this, he was a little displeased, and after looking at Huo Qu's illness, he glanced at Wei Qing again, and said, "I must fight this battle!" ”

"Otherwise, when the soldiers raised by the Huns become stronger, they will beat us in turn!"

"Speaking of which, don't you just ask for money!"

"It's a big deal that people and horses make walls, gold paves roads, this matter of money and food, I will let Sang Hongyang raise it, and I don't need you generals to think about it!"

As soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said this, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing already understood the emperor's determination.

Immediately.

Wei Qing, who missed the battle of Hexi, immediately surrendered his hand and said: "If Your Majesty has made up your mind, the minister is willing to ask for his life to go on the expedition!" ”

Emperor Wu of Han looked at Wei Qing and didn't speak, but just said, "That's it, such a major matter will be discussed again tomorrow." Speaking of which, I'm a little hungry, and some want to eat the flower chicken in your general's mansion. ”

"Called Flower Chicken?" Wei Qing was a little unsure.

Even.

He hadn't even heard of it.

At this time, Emperor Wu of Han continued: "A few days ago, in your general's mansion, a young man named Huo Guang invited me to eat. ”

said.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Huo Qubing again and asked, "Hussar General, this Huo Guang said that you are his brother, but is it true?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, my brother Huo Guang, just came from Pingyang County with his subordinates." Huo Quzhi said.

However.

At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "Huo Guang, this kid is very clever, but he is very naughty, I heard that with Yichun Hou, he gave all the poultry raised by General Cheng's family." ”

"me, it's time for you to take care of it."

Emperor Wu of Han is to blame?

Huo Quzhi didn't care about this, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have heard about this matter, but my brother is very honest and has never heard that this matter has anything to do with him. ”

"I think."

"Most of the time it's Cousin Wei who is naughty and runs to make trouble."
