Liu Che issued an order to send reinforcements to Li Guangli who was trapped at the border.Li Yannian, who was recuperating in his own home, was almost recovered, so Wei Qing sent someone to send Li Yannian back to Sanchunhui.Because of Wei Qing's recommendation, Ning Cheng was appointed by Liu Che as the captain of the East China Sea, and he will leave for the post immediately.

For Cao Xiang, these are trivial matters that are not worth mentioning. The important point is that one day after returning from the palace, Wei Qing calmly smiled at her disgruntled face and said, "It's not him."

Cao Xiang was taken aback: What is "not him"?

Wei Qing didn't speak, but still smiled quietly, reminding Cao Xiang of that night at the mountain inn: under the moonlight, the shadows of the branches and leaves intertwined and mottled, the young man was completely hidden in it, his face and expression were half bright and half dim.

Good one "not him".Cao Xiang suddenly felt: Maybe the opportunity I thought had never appeared.

Princess Wei's wedding was as grand as imagined.Cao Xiang was wearing the groom's gown, accepting congratulations from everyone.Naturally, Wei Qing would not be absent. He sat in his seat and looked at the new couple with a smile.It seems casual but actually correct, like a high mountain and a deep pool.

Cao Xiang was suddenly confused, what should she call him?Da Sima?General?Marquis of Changping?Father?uncle?Or maliciously call "aunt"?In such an awkward and chaotic position, why did he still show such an expression?It is said that "the responsibility of the world rests on the shoulders of the husband", how many things should he bear on his shoulders?

Entering the bridal chamber, the bride was waiting for him shyly.

As the lights flickered, Cao Xiang's eyes were dim and drunk, and the bride's face overlapped with the boy from the night in the mountain inn ten years ago, which shocked him.

After finally stabilizing her mind, Cao Xiang couldn't help smiling wryly, saying that her nephew is like an uncle, and even her niece is like an uncle?It's just that I don't know: Liu Che faces Queen Wei every day, will he mistake the person in front of him?Is the queen in Liu Che's mind Wei Zifu who gave birth to the prince for him, or Wei Qing who guarded the land and opened the border for him?

***************

On this day, Wei Qing suddenly heard Liu Che say: "I have ordered someone to collect Dong Yan's body—"

Wei Qing looked at him in surprise, originally thinking that not only did he not remember at all, but he would not take it to heart at all.Because once I asked Liu Che if he still remembered Dong Yan, Liu Che's reaction at that time was really indifferent.Unexpectedly, he would take the initiative to mention this name today.But what surprised Wei Qing even more was what Liu Che said next.Liu Che said: "And ordered him to be buried with Grand Master Guantao."

Dong Yan was originally the male favorite of Liu Che's aunt and mother-in-law Guantao Taizhu, and he followed Liu Che later.After being abandoned by Liu Che, he died of poverty and hunger.

Wei Qing adjusted his clothes and solemnly bowed down.

Not because of such a disposition is a great grace, but because Liu Che can still think of such a person.

In the spring of the fourth year of Yuanshou, Liu Che devoted all his power to dispatch his soldiers, and it was inevitable to expel the Huns.General Wei Qing and Hussar General Huo Qubing each led [-] cavalry, followed by hundreds of thousands of infantry and transporters.Lang Zhongling Li Guang was the former general, the imperial servant Sun He was the left general, the lord captain Zhao Shiqi was the right general, and Cao Xiang, Marquis of Pingyang was the rear general, all belonged to the great general Wei Qing.

In this battle, the Han army defeated the Huns in Mobei, causing the Huns to flee far away, and there was no royal court in Monan.

Everyone is praising Huo Qubing's bravery and invincibility. I remember that he drove three thousand miles away, defeated the Zuoxian King's army, killed 83 enemies, captured four kings, and captured [-] generals. And also.And Cao Xiang will always remember: Facing the map in the tent, Wei Qing's frown; the map, sand table, and various lines were scratched, rubbed and scratched.

After the triumphant return, it goes without saying that there will be awards and banquets.The atmosphere at the banquet was in full swing, but Cao Xiang found that Wei Qing was missing.When he went outside, he saw Wei Qing staring at the moon in a daze.

"General."

Cao Xiang opened her mouth to call, and she would no longer be confused about the call.

Silently sighed: It is easy to win a battle, but it is difficult to win the whole battle. Liu Che is correct, only Wei Qing can deserve the title of "Great Sima General", and Huo Qubing can only use "Great General" The official title of "Da Sima" to reward his bravery is only "Hussar General".

The other party looked up, his eyes clearly hadn't reacted from his thoughts.

"Why is the general sitting here alone?" Cao Xiang walked to Wei Qing's side.

Wei Qing nodded to him, looked at Mingyue again, and said, "I was just thinking about something..."

"Oh?" Cao Xiang's ears caught a barely audible sigh, and she was intently listening, but Wei Qing smiled: "After retiring and returning home, what should I plant in the fields?"

Cao Xiang was startled: "The general has just passed his thirties, isn't it too early to think about this?"

Wei Qing showed that thoughtful expression again: "Is it early?"

Under the moonlight, Cao Xiang saw Wei Qing's lips curved into a beautiful arc.The same moonlight, the same person, more than ten years ago and ten years later, the expression is completely different.There was so much content in this smile that Cao Xiang couldn't see through it.

Cao Xiang suddenly found out that in this battle, Liu Che wanted to bestow rewards on the soldiers under the hussar general Huo Qubing, while Wei Qing not only failed to get the bestowal, but none of the army officials and soldiers were given the bestowal.What does this mean?Not to mention the fact that Li Guang committed suicide because of missed dates, and various rumors accusing Wei Qing of selfishness spread everywhere.

Not many days later, Cao Xiang discovered that there was a young official who had never seen in Guangluxun, handsome and young——unbelievably young.Others told him that he was Huo Guang's younger brother, Huo Guang, who was 13 years old this year.Because of General Hussars, he was recommended to Guang Lu Xun.

Looking at Huo Guang, Cao Xiang suddenly seemed to see Wei Qing back then.A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy was rewarded with an unimaginable official position for a special reason, and grew up step by step in this imperial court alone.

Wei Qing came to the Huangmen official office where the chariot was prepared to raise dogs and horses, and the person he was looking for was quickly brought to him.

"This is the prince of the Xiongnu King Xiutu."

Wei Qing nodded and asked them to retreat.

The young man in front of him had eagle-like eyes and a sharp outline. When he was standing, he was almost as tall as Wei Qing.Wei Qing tried his best to search in his memory, so that the face of King Xiutu in his memory overlapped with the boy in front of him.Maybe like, maybe not like, those distant memories have gone with the wind.

"What's your name? How old are you?"

"Ri Li (Yin Mi Ti). 14 years old."

"Why are you here?"

"The Huns were defeated, and my father was defeated. My father, King Xiutu, refused to surrender, so he was killed by his companion, King Kunxie. I am a gift from King Kunxie."

Although the boy's Chinese is not very proficient, he expresses the meaning clearly without deviation.Wei Qing nodded, yes, King Kunxie killed King Xiutu who refused to surrender, and came to surrender with King Xiutu's head and his wife, children and subordinates as gifts.As a result, King Xiutu's wife and children did not enter the palace.

"Do you recognize me?" Wei Qing asked.

The boy looked at him suspiciously and shook his head.

"Do you know Hussar General Huo Qubing?"

"You are not him." The young man met Huo Qubing at the surrender ceremony.

"I'm Wei Qing."

The boy opened his mouth wide. The legendary General Sima of the Han Kingdom?

Wei Qing asked: "How much do you hate Hussar General?"

"..." The boy hesitated for a moment, and replied: "He ruined my home, so I naturally hate him. But I also think he is very strong. Very strong. Very strong..." He repeated the last two words, The voice is getting lower and lower.

Should I hate Huo Qubing?Huo Qubing defeated his tribe, but it was King Kunxie who killed his father, not Huo Qubing.

Wei Qing asked again: "How much do you hate me?"

"The general destroyed the homeland of the Huns and made the Huns unable to fight back. Naturally, I hate you more than I hate General Hussars. But I know that it is because you are stronger than Generals Hussars."

Wei Qing was still asking: "How much do you hate the Great Han Emperor? You know, without his will, General Hussars and I would not be able to attack you."

"The Emperor Dahan appointed you as the commander-in-chief and forward. The Huns lost, so I have nothing to say. The Huns worship the strong, so I will not hate the Emperor Dahan, but pay respect to him and you." The young man fell down, "It is not a shameful thing to lose to the strongest person in the world, to show respect and surrender to the strong."

Wei Qing looked at him with a calm expression, showing no emotional ups and downs.

A dagger was pushed in front of Richan.The sheath was decorated with precious stones into various gorgeous patterns, and Richan recognized that it was the unique totem mark of the Huns.

"It belonged to your father. Your father gave it to a friend of mine. That friend gave it to me when I was a few years younger than you. Now, it's time to return it." It's time for the original owner."

Ri Lin looked at the dagger, looked at Wei Qing, and finally took it with both hands, raising it above his head, expressing his sincere acceptance.

Wei Qing nodded.That's kind of a thing of the past...

As soon as the spirit is relaxed, fatigue will crawl all over the body.After years of fighting, he knew very well that his body was not as good as before.It's only just over [-] years old, but I don't know how long it can last.Inadvertently revealed a wry smile: Liu Che must have noticed it too, right?That's why he was so anxious to find someone who could replace him.

Qubing, Zhao Puonu, Li Gan... who would be that person?

The Jianzhang Palace stands majestically as always, and Wei Qing is walking on the stairs, flanked by heavily armed warriors with bright swords and halberds. The 13-year-old Huo Guang, as a servant, followed behind the emperor, looking out curiously. The 14-year-old Ri Lin led the chariot and horses, and waited in the guard of honor without looking sideways.

Liu Che stood on the corridor in front of the hall, looked at Wei Qing with a smile, and waited for him to walk towards him step by step.At this moment, their great man will stand firm and their country will last forever.
