Chapter 157 Return to Chang'an

The sky was a bit cloudy, with the sun appearing and disappearing in the clouds.

Huo Qubing didn't answer why he was in a hurry to return to Chang'an.

Zhang Jun didn't ask any more questions, but instead asked, "After Huohou left, is there anything you can ask me to cooperate with in the matter of Xiguan? For example, if Roshna comes here as promised, what if I don't see Huohou?"

Huo Qubing thought about it a long time ago: "Since I can't go to Yangguan, Yumen area. I will send Zhao Puonu to tell Roshna to change the meeting place to Chang'an."

Zhang Qian was dumbfounded, and it was inconvenient to go to the Western Regions, so he asked Roshna to go all the way to Chang'an.

Will Roshna, who is highly respected in the Western Regions, agree?

"In Xiqiang, there are many tribes, big and small. It is impossible to be an enemy of our Han people. Their internal attitudes are different, which is a good thing for us. We can win some and get rid of some." Huo Qubing said.

Zhang Jun hummed, he knew this truth very well.

The ancient Qiang tribe is the part that needs to be eliminated.

They colluded with the Xiongnu all the year round and harassed the Han territory. The two sides had long been feuds and could not be relieved.

But the other part of the Qiang people, who do not border on the Han territory, are far away, and have not been stained with the blood of the Han people, can win over and divide the Qiang people.

This is a long-distance and close-attack strategy.

"In addition to the Qiang people, the countries in the Western Regions that need to guard against most are the Loulan and Pulei countries, which are closely related to the Xiongnu.

I will let Zhao Puonu deliberately spread the news that Roshna is coming to our Han territory. After Loulan, Pulei and other countries know about it, they may hinder it.

If necessary, I hope Prefect Zhang can dispatch frontier troops to cooperate with Zhao Puonu's troops.

He took away [-] imperial troops, and I will let him escort Roshna from the countries in the Western Regions to the south of Loulan. If Loulan dares to send troops to obstruct, the prefect will send troops to support Zhao Puonu, and he will strike Loulan in a flash.

Loulan is a small country, but he dares to fight against my big fellow. If he doesn't beat his country to ruin, how can he be worthy of him. "Huo Qubing said.

"Please rest assured Lang Zhongling."

Zhang Jun readily agreed, saying that he would cooperate with Huo Qubing's idea.

And his promise meant that after Huo Qubing passed away, he would let some frontier troops continue to advance westward, so that he could cooperate with Zhao Puonu.

Xu Jia was surprised and said: "Lang Zhongling said that Zhao Puonu took away seven hundred forbidden troops, plus the sixty forbidden troops who protected the princess. Isn't Lang Zhongling only left with these thirty forbidden troops?"

The surrounding area is surrounded by four dangers, Huo Qubing only brought thirty forbidden troops by his side, he was really extremely daring.

Huo Qubing smiled: "That's all I have to say, everyone will have a bright future." After saying that, he was ready to leave.

Xu Jia suddenly plucked up his courage and said: "Xu Jia wants to follow Lang Zhongling, but I don't know if Lang Zhongling will agree?"

Huo Qubing said dumbly: "There are wars everywhere. I am in Chang'an, but there are not as many wars as at the border. If you want to come, just ask Prefect Zhang. If he agrees to release him, you can come to Chang'an to find me."

Xu Jia bowed his head in agreement, then turned to look at Zhang Jun.

And Huo Qubing had already jumped into Liu Qing's carriage, whistled, and went away quickly.

Jin An Xiaopao followed beside the car, looked sideways at the frame, as if wondering why Huo Qubing was riding a car instead of riding it.

The thirty imperial guards followed from afar, and several servants of the princess also followed behind.

Zhang Qian did not follow back to Chang'an, he will continue to travel westward under Zhang Jun's arrangement, to meet Zhao Puonu and Roshna.

"Prefect, Lang Zhongling only brings dozens of people by his side. If there is an accident, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to deal with it?" Xu Jia was eager to try.

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "How do you know that Huo Hou has no other arrangements? Maybe he deliberately did this to lure the enemy. How can people find out the truth when the military strategists act?"

The frame went away, Huo Qubing asked the driver to go with the imperial army behind, and sat on the shaft by himself.

Liu Qing also lifted the curtain and got out, and sat down next to him, his feet in small leather boots dangling outside the shaft of the car.

The imperial army always followed far behind, not approaching forward.

The two walked around the West Sea for an hour.

The sparkling lake water, like a huge and hard gem, is brilliantly and transparently embedded in the vast basin.

The blue sky seems to sink into the lake, and the sky and the earth echo each other, showing the beauty of nature.

Huo Qubing took Liu Qing to ride Jin'an again, and galloped around the West Sea for a while.

It's getting late.

Only then did Liu Qing ask: "Husband suddenly wants to go back to Chang'an, but something happened to Chang'an?"

Huo Qubing pondered and said: "Your Majesty and Uncle sent me messages through the embroiderer in almost no particular order, asking me to suspend my westward journey and go back.

What exactly happened, I don't know. "

Liu Qing showed a little surprise, what needs the emperor and Wei Qing to send news at the same time.

Huo Qubing lightly clamped the horse's belly, and Jin'an let out a horse whistle, and the four horses in charge of pulling the cart followed behind him, speeded up, and set foot eastward on their way home.

----

Changan.

The news of the expedited border crossing was delivered to Weiyang Palace this morning after two nights and one day.

After the court was over, Liu Che read the memorabilia of Zhang Jun, the prefect of Xiguan, and the marching map sent back together, so he asked his servant Dong Xu to call all the officials over.

A group of civil and military personnel was extremely fast, and came to the study to obey the emperor's orders.

"Look, all my lords, this is the memorial of the prefect of Xiguan Zhang." The emperor said.

The civil servants are headed by the prime ministers Gongsun Hong and Li Cai, and the rest are only a few important officials from the Jiuqing.

The generals are Li Guang, Li Gan, father and son, and Cheng Buzhi.

Several people took turns to read Zhang Jun's memorial and Huo Qubing's marching map.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Gongsun Hong said: "Prefect Zhang said that this marching map was drawn by the champion Hou to deduce the winners and losers of the two sides before the battle. match.

This kind of strategist's method is really moving. "

Li Cai also rolled up his sleeves and went to the battlefield in his early years. He can also see the mystery of the marching map and nods in agreement.

The emperor said: "Can you understand the purpose of letting you read this memorabilia and marching map?"

On the other side, Zhou Ping looked at each other.

These days, they are deliberating on whether to expand the country's borders, use troops everywhere, and consume national power.

At the court meeting this morning, there were disputes between civil and military officials.

Generals naturally hope to have more opportunities to make military exploits.

The civil servants are very painful, and they don't want to hurt their muscles and bones and exhaust their national strength.

At this time, the emperor showed his ministers how Huo Qubing used troops in Xiguan to defeat the enemy with a small number of his own troops, as if he was slapping the civil servants in the face.

They were discussing in the rear, but Huo Qubing was fighting at the front, seeking to benefit the big man, especially during the wedding period.

In contrast, Fan Xi, Zhou Ping and the others felt their skins were hot.

Only Li Cai and Gong Sunhong looked thinking about the emperor's intentions: "Your Majesty wants to spread the memorial and marching map from Xiguan?"

Liu Che showed a satisfied expression: "Exactly.

Not to mention that Qu Bing went to Xiguan to fight in person during his wedding, it should be known to the world.

What's more important is that this object is given to the various tribes of the Western Qiang. What do you think will be the effect? "

Li Cai's quick thinking, his handsome and upright eyes were slightly bright: "Your Majesty has a good plan."

Gongsun Hong also said: "After reading the marching map, comparing the terrain of Xiguan, the strength of the ancient Qiang tribe, and the military intentions of the champion marquis, the Western Qiang tribes will definitely be more frightened and intimidated.

The deeper benefit is that it can intensify the factional antagonism within the Qiang people, making their opinions inconsistent. "

Zhou Ping and Fan Xi also understood.

If the various tribes of the Qiang people read Huo Qubing's military strategy and the deduction of the battle situation, those who were pro-Hun might not believe that this was drawn before the war, and would dismiss it.

But another part of the Qiang people who believe in it will have differences with them, and the conflict will increase in dealing with the relationship with the big man.

The key to being able to separate and divide the Qiang people is not to send a single soldier.

Liu Che immediately ordered people to copy several copies of the marching map and the memorabilia of Zhang Jun, the prefect of Xiguan, and sent them to Xiguan and the Qiang tribes urgently.

Liu Che has always been good at the ability to use inadvertent things to drive the overall situation.

This has been the case throughout his entire ruling career. If his opponents are unwittingly at a disadvantage, it may be too late to react.

The relevant news, with the approval of the emperor, first spread in Chang'an.

The well-informed clans and families soon knew the inside story.

"A few days ago, I went to the Champion's Mansion to pay a visit. The concierge said that Huo Hou and the princess had gone on a trip and had returned in half a month. I just found out today that the news of the battle was sent back in half a month. Champion Hou defeated the enemy in Xiguan and won."

In Chang'an City, in a deep mansion compound, a group of clan leaders gathered together.

"The champion won't come back, and the things inherited from my family have always been placed in the military mansion and it is difficult to take them out. The aura is slowly stripped away by the military mansion. If he doesn't return for another month, the inner strength of those inherited things will Essence, I'm afraid it will be consumed completely."

"The champion Hou Dang can't be so relentless."

"It's hard to say..."

Li Zhaodao, the head of the Li family in Longxi, said: "Earlier today, in addition to the memorial scrolls sent to His Majesty by Zhang Taishou from Xiguan, he also sent me a message through another channel, which was only a little later than the memorial scrolls that entered the palace. .”

Several patriarchs knew that Xiguan prefect Zhang Jun's mother's surname also came from the Li family, so it is not surprising that he also sent news to the Li family.

"What did the prefect say?" a Patriarch asked.

Li Zhaodao: "He said that Champion Hou drew a marching map, and the pre-war deduction and the subsequent war process were consistent one by one.

Zhang Jun admired Huo Qubing's accurate judgment of the enemy's situation when he responded to the enemy.

The meaning in his words was to remind me not to approach civil servants easily in Chang'an.

If the situation forces you to choose a side, let me think carefully. His suggestion is to be in line with the military strategists, and we will provide resources to the military strategists behind the scenes. "

Several Patriarchs confirmed their eyes, and they were all stunned.

The head of the Wang family in Taiyuan pondered for a long time: "I've heard about the marching map, is it really so miraculous?"

Li Zhongdao, the head of the Li family in Zhao County: "What's the use of saying this, I just want to get back my general sword.

This time I came to Chang'an really miscalculated, one wrong step, every step is wrong.It is serious for Champion Hou to come back earlier and take back the inheritance. "

And in the evening of this day, Huo Qubing rode his horse into the city from the west gate and returned to Chang'an.

Ps: I am not satisfied with the writing, I have adjusted it again, it is a bit late, sorry~
