[Vol. 1] Verse 136: Wei Qing Congrong

------------

In the sixth year of Yuanguang (129 BC), Liu Che came to the most important year of his life.

In this year, Liu Che finally saw the hope of realizing the legacy of his grandparents, and an unborn general would leave a deep imprint on this era.

Liu Che's work achievements in the past ten years since he became emperor are really not flattering, at this time, he is incompatible with his later glorious image, he is like an immature child, toddler, moving forward slowly.

Ten years finally sharpened into a sword, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to show his sword out of the sheath, with bows and swords, blood and fire to forge his own era.

In this year, the Xiongnu invaded on a large scale, and the anti-Hungarian war began.

There is no shortage of talents in Liu Che's court, and there is no shortage of generals who can fight evil battles and tough battles. Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Han Anguo, and the young general Gongsun He are all good at the battlefield, however, the failure of Ma Yi's strategy four years ago made Liu Che see the problem.

He needed a commander who could win battles.

He once pinned this hope on Han Anguo, who was old and good at calculation, but lacked a sense of aggression. He also pinned his hopes on Li Guang, but this Li Guang, who had been guarding the border for a few years, did make the Huns frightened, but the problem is that this brother is not particularly lucky, and he is brave and brave, and he often kills red eyes on the battlefield, and forgets his own work, we have reason to believe that this tragedy will become the root of Li Guang's tragic fate.

We know that after the failure of Ma Yi's scheme, Liu Che figured out the law of using generals and honed his ability to recognize people.

Liu Che is a smart man, and failure can only sharpen his gaze.

When Uncle Lang Jianzhang and Wei Qing appeared in front of him, he vaguely felt that this equally young Uncle Lang had an unusual temperament.

Wei Qing was silent, but his eyes revealed a firmness, no wonder he was able to come back without panic after being kidnapped by Liu Xuan, let alone complain.

Even if he is just a small Jianzhang palace eunuch and has an increasingly favored sister, he can still be polite and meticulous, and more importantly, Wei Qing is the same as his sister, he can be kind to others and treat people sincerely.

In Liu Che's opinion, Uncle Lang Wei Qing already has all the conditions for a commander, and all he lacks is the experience of war.

Now's your chance.

Liu Che solemnly announced the emergency report of the border pass in the court.

In this way, he aroused the indignation of the Manchu civil and military against the enemy, thus forming a huge driving force for war.

However, the reaction of the ministers was tantamount to a basin of cold water on Liu Che's head. Many people think that taking the initiative to find the Xiongnu to fight is simply a fool's dream, and the farce of Ma Yi's plan to return in vain is still vivid. Moreover, the invasion of the Huns has not been a day or two, and the days have not been the same.

Liu Che had long expected this to be the result, as in previous years, on the issue of the Xiongnu, peace seemed to have become the consensus of the imperial court.

Liu Che understood that in order to turn the situation around, he had to speak with victory on the battlefield.

Liu Che finally decided to fight against public opinion.

When the ministers saw that the emperor had made up his mind, they did not dare to get up and intervene without knowing whether they were alive or dead.

It's easy to fight, but it's hard to fight.

Is it to divide the troops to meet the attack, or to concentrate the forces to find the main force of the Xiongnu for a decisive battle? Who can do it?

The former question can be said to be not a problem, the Huns have always been elusive, the traces are difficult to find, to find it in a decisive battle is probably more difficult than to win, so, there is no doubt that the only way to meet the enemy is to divide the army.

As for the selection of generals, Liu Che already had a list in his heart, and the discussion was just a process.

Xiao cavalry general Li Guang led 10,000 troops out of Yanmen, light car general Gongsun He led 10,000 troops out of Yunzhong, chariot general Wei Qing led 10,000 troops out of Shanggu, and cavalry general Gongsun Ao led 10,000 troops out of Dai County.

Liu Che was quick to announce his appointment.

But hearing this appointment, the ministers were still stunned, for such an important battle, the commander was only Li Guang, and Gongsun He was an old face. Li Guang naturally has no doubt, although the young Gongsun He is a little immature, he has walked on the battlefield a few times, and has seen a few Huns, so he can get by. But the latter two are unpredictable, Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao have no military experience, and it is said that they have never even killed anyone, and they actually became generals, which is really a bit ridiculous.

However, the ministers thought about it, our emperor has been used to tossing since he was a child, and now that the country is safe and the people are safe, there is nothing to do, and the emperor must be suffocated, besides, Wei Qing is also a relative of the upstart, and it is not difficult to understand that the emperor intends to give him the opportunity to make contributions. Since this is the case, let the emperor toss again.

Many ministers expected that they would repeat the mistakes of Ma Yi's plot this time, but they did not discourage them, and they thought that they should wait until the bad news came, and then admonished them before it was too late. Wouldn't that not only soothe the emperor's emotions, but also achieve the goal?

They probably wouldn't have thought that no one would have this opportunity!

Because, from the moment he received the appointment, Wei Qing, the general of the chariot cavalry, was determined to block their mouths.
