Chapter 161 The Court's Reward

At the end of November, the army finally returned to Luoyang before the arrival of severe winter.Even so, the temperature has dropped to a dangerous level. If the furs seized by the Huns were not enough, I am afraid that some soldiers have already started to suffer from frostbite.

"I didn't expect to go out for more than a month, but after seeing Luoyang City again, I have a different feeling!" Li Ming laughed.

The last time it was a triumphant return, although this time it can be regarded as a triumphant return, but it is not perfect after all.If Xu Bu hadn't been worried about the safety of the clansmen and led the crowd to break through, it would be difficult to determine who would win in the end.

Thinking about it this way, I immediately felt a sense of frustration. As a warrior, this can be said to be the most embarrassing thing.

"Xuan, General Li Ming, Captain Xin Pi, Captain Zhang Mo, Military Sima Dianjie, Military Sima Xiao Yao, and Military Marquis Xu Huang enter the palace to meet you!" Before entering the city gate, the two internal officials greeted them. Come up and convey Liu Hong's oral order.

"Here!" Li Ming and the others who were named naturally responded one after another, and then handed over the army to Xi Zhicai to take them back to the station to settle down, and followed two internal officials into the palace.

Originally thought it was a private meeting, but who knew that after entering the main hall, all the civil and military ministers had already arrived.

"Last General Li Ming (Xin Pi, Zhang Mo, Dian Jie, Xiao Yao, Xu Huang), pay homage to Your Majesty!" The three walked to the front of the hall and bowed to Liu Xing who was at the head.

"Aiqing, no courtesy!" Liu Hong yawned, looking listless.It can be seen that he has no interest in this meeting, but the matter is so important that he has no choice but to participate.

After a pause, he asked weakly: "I heard that all the Ai Qing went north to beg for thieves, not only found the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, but also solved the Huns who went south?"

"It's because Your Majesty has the foresight, and I dare not take the credit for it!" Li Ming quickly replied, it was Xi Zhicai who taught him on the way back, and that guy actually counted the Emperor's meeting in person.

"Look, you know your duty even after making contributions, you all learn a little bit from me!" Liu Hong immediately became interested when he heard the words, pointed at Li Ming and others, and swept his eyes over the courtiers, which seemed to mean that Said: It seems that you are not doing your duty!
Li Ming couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard the words, Liu Hong seemed to be full of resentment, otherwise he definitely wouldn't make use of the problem, but in this way, would he be taking the blame for himself?
"Do you know that the Huns belong to that tribe?" Zhu Jun probably felt that it would not be good to go on like this, so he came forward to ask, intending to change the topic to ease the embarrassing atmosphere.

"It is the Xubu tribe, the bone capital of the Xiongnu. When I came back, I also learned about it. Xubu advocated that the Huns should break away from the control of the big Han. Only by returning to the original mode of life can the ethnic group be revitalized." Li Ming Slowly back.

"The original way of life, to put it bluntly, is to be a robber and rob my people? Write a letter to Qiang Qu. If they can't deal with Xubu, we will send someone to deal with it!" Liu Hong couldn't help sneering, and directly issued an order.

"The Xubu tribe is the second largest tribe in the southern Xiongnu. If they are so persecuted and the other party rises up to rebel, then the Qiangqu side may not feel good!" Yuan Kai stood up and said, but no one knew that the Yuan Clan had already begun to fight. Had contact with Xu Bu.

"That's all!" Liu Hong was too lazy to discuss any further, and Wang Ba's body shook, "Let Qiang Qu take care of his subordinates, and at the same time send an order to Bingzhou Inspector Ding Yuan. If there is any change in the Huns, let him help Qiang Qu take care of his subordinates." Take care of his subjects!"

"Here!" The courtiers took orders one after another, but they had their own thoughts on this purpose.

"As for the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, I didn't expect the Baibo thieves to be related to the Yellow Turbans, and it seems that these remnants are planning to make trouble again next year? What do you think should be done?" Liu Hong then changed the topic of discussion.

"Only conquest!" General He Jin cupped his hands and said, he had already done his homework.

"It's just that the money and food have been exhausted, so it's not suitable for large-scale use of troops!" Yuan Kai got up and said, looking at Liu Hong with vague eyes, which obviously meant to say: use internal funds, otherwise there will be no way to fight!

"Money, money, money, it's all money! Is my country about to perish because I don't have money?" Liu Hong suddenly became hysterical.

"As a big Han Situ, I just report the situation, and what your majesty wants to do is beyond my control." Yuan Kai replied neither humble nor overbearing, clasping his hands.

Anyway, the situation is like this, the treasury is out of money, and the food is almost out.From Sili to sending people out to suppress bandits, supply is a big problem. The corruption in Jizhou and Yuzhou will take at least three or four years to recover, and don't expect to be able to provide taxes before.

Fight, yes!Because of the war, the other soldiers had no food to eat, became noisy, and even mutiny was not his responsibility.After all, he has already mentioned the problem of insufficient money and food.

"That's all, that's all!" Liu Hong immediately sat down dejectedly, "Let's not talk about that, Li Zhonglang will have a meal and go north to beg for thieves, and he will be rewarded if he has merit! In this way, Jin Li Ming is the general of Beizhong, and Xin Pi, Zhang Mo, Xiao Yao, Dianjie, and Xu Huang have been promoted to one level! Well, I heard that the weapons of Li Aiqing and Xiao were damaged in the battle, how about I give them weapons to the two Aiqings?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! It's just Li's weapon. I plan to try to make it myself. I just hope that Your Majesty can give me some materials." Li Ming clasped his hands and replied. As for Xiao Yao, he naturally has nothing to say, and Xie En is.

"Speaking of which, Li Aiqing is indeed versatile, sure! I gave Aiqing four months, is it enough?" Liu Hong was taken aback when he heard this, then remembered Li Ming's situation, and finally said with a smile.

"Enough!" Li Ming nodded. If he spends four months concentrating on improving his forging skills, he should be able to forge a decent weapon.Even if there is no way to use it for a lifetime, it is good to use it in transition!

"Speaking of which, it seems that the love ministers haven't been to Lantai yet. Considering everyone's contributions, it's worth adding one more day! As for the talisman technique, except for the cloth plague talisman and the poisonous fog talisman, other love ministers All can be kept!" Liu Hong immediately gave a new reward.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Ming was even more grateful, which meant that Xi Zhicai could use these talismans openly.

After Liu Hong encouraged a few words, Li Ming and the others left. The next thing to discuss was not something that people of their status could discuss.

After retiring from the court, Li Ming went to visit Zhu Jun's mansion, and his wife and Zhu Hao also came forward to receive him.Seeing Zhu Jun, Li Ming took out the five-tiger soul-severing gun with only the tip left, held it high, and knelt in front of Zhu Jun: "The five-tiger soul-severing gun bestowed by Master was destroyed in the battle with Xu Bu. , Master please punish me!"

"There is no weapon that can be used forever, and it's just a gun barrel..." Zhu Jun took the tip of Wuhu's soul-breaking gun with a little feeling, and then helped Li Ming up.

After all, it was a gun, and it was the gun he used in the transition period.If it is broken, it will be broken, and it is not as important as an apprentice.

"Come on, let's talk about the matter of begging for thieves this time, especially the matter of Xu Bu!" Zhu Jun motioned Li Ming to sit down.

"Here!" The latter also sat down and told Zhu Jun everything about this time.

 In fact, I only found out recently that the current code word world is not very flat.

  So I don't want to say anything. After writing this, if you really like this book and subscribe, then it is almost an apprentice level.So in the future book reviews, I guess I will only read the comments above the apprentices, as for the apprentices... maybe I really like this book, so I give suggestions, but I'm sorry...
