Chapter 263 Letting the courtiers reward the courtiers is outrageous! (4.3K)

Early in the morning of the fourth day.

Speeding all the way for 2000 miles, more than [-] miles away, I finally arrived outside Chang'an City on the night of the third day of junior high school.

But because of the curfew, and because of the battle report, it needs to be publicized.

So the post rider who came here rested overnight at the post post outside Chang'an City.

Although the post cavalry did not enter the city, the battle report and other items were sent to the palace by Zhi Jinwu who heard the news.

So Liu Che must have seen it.

The curfew has been lifted, the gate of Chang'an city has been opened wide, and the post riders set off again, rushing towards the city of Chang'an.

Although the gate of Chang'an City was wide open, the people who wanted to enter and leave the city were blocked on both sides of the road. Just when the people were puzzled, the post cavalry came.

"Great victory in the Northwest!!!
In September, the Qiang people invaded, and the champion Hou led the army to go out!

After two months, six ministries were destroyed, more than 7 were beheaded, 26 ministries were demoted, more than 11 people were killed, countless cattle, sheep and horses were seized, and more than [-] people were injured!

big win! ! !big win! ! ! "

The people who heard the news of victory were taken aback for a moment, and then began to cheer!
They knew that the champion Hou led the army, and they also knew that the champion Hou released His Majesty's pigeons.

The people of Chang'an lived in the imperial capital and knew a little bit more. They thought this war would be delayed until at least a year later, but they didn't expect it to end so soon.

Strictly speaking, it has just entered winter, and Chang'an can still feel a bit of anger during the day!

And at the time when the post cavalry reported the victory, there were horse-drawn carriages entering the palace at the east gate of Weiyang Palace.

They are all the ministers who convened to discuss things this morning after Liu Che got the battle report last night!

Wei Qing, Gongsun He, Sang Hongyang, Wang Wenshu, Sangong Jiuqing are now dominated by these people, and there is also a pot to fill the country, Dahonghe.

Although Wang Wenshu is not the young minister, Huo Shan is not here, he is no different from the young minister, and there is Huo Shan waiting in front of him, so he is not afraid of unknown questions coming suddenly.

Compared with his previous life, his life in this life has been much better.

Add some general masters, Shui Heng Duwei and other officials, Jin Ridun and other close officials, that's all!

.........

"General, what is your Majesty's reason to summon us?"

With a slight smile on his face, Wei Qing looked back at Gongsun He, stroked his beard and thought for a while and said:
"There hasn't been anything serious recently, I guess it's from Zihou's side!"

They entered the palace earlier and didn't know the situation, and the curfew had just been lifted, and there were no people in the city at this time, so they couldn't hear the cheers at the gate of the city, so they asked this question.

If they had waited a little longer and waited for the post cavalry to run through the North City and come to the palace, then the matter would naturally be clear.

Hearing Wei Qing's answer, everyone looked different.

Gongsun He and Wang Wenshu were naturally full of smiles. In their hearts, there was no possibility of Huo Shan losing the battle, so when news came, it was naturally a good news.

But Sang Hongyang remained silent, he didn't have that much confidence in Huo Shan, he was only worried about his money.

If the war fell into corruption and the money and food there were not enough, then he had to support him.

Although compared with the previous five or six years, the money and food in the treasury can be said to have piled up into mountains.

But he knows our emperor very well. He is a typical master who does many things with money and does great things even if he has no money.

The understanding of this sentence is not the same as usual. Liu Che is the kind of person who has [-] yuan and will do [-] yuan. If he has [-] yuan, he will do [-] yuan.

Liu Che is a person who can't save money. Once he has money, he will do great things.

But there is no such a good thing for one hundred dollars to do two hundred dollars, so Sang Hongyang has to find a way for the lack of money and food.

Then there are the Western Regions and the new capital city, all of which are big moves.

Moreover, they have to save money and food to fight the Huns, which is not enough to spend!
If it weren't for the method Huo Shan taught him gave him a little confidence, he would have been devastated by now!
He didn't have any objections to Huo Shan, he just didn't want to be summoned by Liu Che.

Or they don't want to be summoned together when there are so many people. At this time, there must be no good things, and the money and food will definitely slip away.

And he didn't dare to refute, so he could only desperately make money.

So under such circumstances, Huo Shan's joy of winning the battle naturally disappeared!
As for the others, they were calm. They thought like Gongsun He and the others, thinking that it was Huo Shan's good news.

As for Huo Shan winning the battle, the word "champion" means the victory, only the defeat can surprise them!
.........

"Your Majesty salutes me respectfully!"

"Haha, I'm safe, gentlemen, please take a seat!"

Looking at the smiling and elated Liu Che, everyone knew clearly that Huo Shan must have won the battle, otherwise the stern-faced Liu Che couldn't be so happy these days!
Sang Hongyang also showed a smile on his face, it's fine if he wins, and he doesn't have to worry about the war delaying and asking for food!
But in the next moment, his smile disappeared, and then reappeared.

The reason for smiling is because this catastrophe has not passed yet, who knows if there will be any troubles in the future!

And the smile reappeared because Liu Che was so happy. You are a minister with a dead face, isn't it hard to find it!
Liu Che raised his eyebrows in circles:

"Huangmen, bring the battle report to Zhu Qing, and let Zhu Qing see what kind of results our champion Hou has achieved this time!"

Liu Che's chest was raised high, and he looked proud, as if he had personally led the army to victory!
However, everyone is used to it. Since Liu Che took charge, he has always been one-of-a-kind.

Especially when he met Huo's father and son, he never concealed his love for them.

And after getting old in the past few years, the things about Huo Shan are becoming less and less like before.

In the past, he was a bit restrained towards Huo Qubing, but towards Huo Shan, he put it directly on the bright side!

I'm afraid that others don't know that Huo Shan was taught by him, I'm afraid that others don't know that his love for Huo Shan is second to none.

But they were all used to it. Sometimes they lay on the couch and thought, why did Liu Che treat the father and son so differently?
In fact, if you think about it in another way, if they have such descendants, I am afraid they will laugh from ear to ear.

Not to mention that these two people were both trained by Liu Che himself. They are equivalent to the ideal place for Liu Che, the emperor, to fight on the battlefield.

Not surprising for his temperament!
.........

Wei Qing saluted Liu Che, then took the battle report, and after reading it silently, handed the battle report to the eager Gongsun He, and then fell silent.

Liu Che glanced at him, smiled and said:

"Laugh if you want to laugh!"

"Hahahaha!"

When Liu Che said this, Wei Qing couldn't help it anymore, stroked his beard and started laughing!
Liu Che shook his head with a smile on top.

Gongsun He read the battle report in astonishment, and then handed the battle report to the others.

Then after he reacted, he quickly got up and came to the center to bow and salute:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, it is really a great joy for the champion to expand the land for a great man!"

Just as Wei Qing finished laughing, Liu Che couldn't bear it anymore after hearing what Gongsun He said!

"Hahahaha, expand the land for thousands of miles, okay!"

The other ministers who haven't read the battle report widened their eyes when they heard this. My God, this is a big deal!
In fact, for Liu Che, Wei Qing and others, it was predictable that Huo Shan won the battle!

Both of them are very confident people. Not only are they confident in themselves, they are also very confident in Huo Shan.

So Huo Shan lost the battle, and this option never appeared in their minds.

As for the result of the battle, although this result is already the biggest result of the big man in the past ten years, it only surprised them and was not enough to make them lose their composure.

Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Huo Shan didn't have a big fight when they went out that time!
As for such a low loss, such a big result has been achieved, and the first two have basically never happened.

Huo Qubing fought wars, the results were great, and the cost was also very large.

Wei Qing is not as wasteful as Huo Qubing, but the cost is not small, and it is very difficult to maintain a balance of income and expenditure.

At this time, fighting a war to make money is impossible in the eyes of ordinary people. The purpose of fighting a war is to destroy the enemy and occupy land, and it costs a lot of money.

But with Huo Shan's last battle as a foreshadowing, they can accept it, and it won't be the same as last time, so unbelievable.

What really made them lose their composure was the words Tuo Tuqianli.

In Liu Che's view, the land occupied in this battle is too small to expand the land for thousands of miles.

Huo Shan started counting from Huangzhong, and went straight to Zhong Qiang and other territories. The distance was about [-] miles, which was the east-west direction.

As for the north-south direction, it is 1000 to [-] miles, so it is no problem to expand the land for thousands of miles.

This is also Liu Che's only dissatisfaction, because he thinks Huo Shan is too young.

If you want to count, you should start counting from Huqiang City, including the [-]-mile defense line.

In Liu Che's view, if there is no place under real control, it is not considered a territory.

Of course, this is what he really thinks in his heart, and he can't say that on the surface.

As for what to say on the surface, what is said on the surface is that even if I only occupy this land for a moment, from then on, it will be my big man's territory.

Let them lose their composure and laugh out loud because of these four words.

You know, the big Han has been working hard for decades in the direction of the Qiang people in the northwest, but there is basically no progress!
Now that the land has been expanded for thousands of miles and so many tribes have been conquered, the problem of border troubles in the northwest has basically been solved.

Not only the land issue, but also all aspects of the problem will be resolved after the northwest frontier issue is resolved.

First of all, Longxi in the northwest has stabilized, and the threat from Longxi in the four counties of Hexi no longer exists.

The importance of the four counties in Hexi is self-evident. Naturally, it is not random to send so many military households to the border.

The four counties in Hexi are wings and tentacles. They are the tentacles that restrain the wings of the Xiongnu and reach the Western Regions half controlled by the Huns. This place must not be lost.

Without the threat from Longxi Qiang land, the four Hexi counties are completely stable, because in the future, they only need to defend the north, and don't need to worry about the risk of being attacked by enemies.

And without this risk, part of the huge force dispatched by the big man to the northwest can be mobilized after years of dedication from the counties in the northwest.

Transferring them to the north, including Hexi, Beidi, and northeast, will help the big man a lot.

Therefore, the four words "tuotuqianli" do not only represent simple land, but also have many meanings.

Although Liu Che didn't pay attention to the surrounding countries and ethnic groups except the Huns, but this is normal, and he is indeed weaker by more than a notch!
But although he is weak, he is annoying!
If you don't clean up these things, you won't be able to really attack the Huns thoroughly, because you have worries about the future.

And you have to mobilize strength to guard against them. You can't do it if you don't guard against them. They are weak. Compared with the whole big man, it doesn't mean they have no strength. Liu Che also knows this.

Nowadays, the great Han and the Xiongnu are a process of ebb and flow.

With the Qiang people no longer threatening the big Han, the strength of the big Han against the Xiongnu will be greatly increased, and they will be able to free up a lot of hands.

For example, with some of these vacated hands, compared with before, the strength of the big man against the Huns has increased by [-]%.

In addition to the Qiang people who surrendered, they used to be in the camp of the Huns, but now they are in the camp of the Han.

You Xiongnu lost one, and my big man added one. The difference between the two is not one or two floors, but four or five, six or seven, eight or nine floors.

With the hand vacated in the northwest, including Hexi, and the Qiang people, isn't the strength of the Han greatly increased?
And there are other factors, such as other chain reactions, not far away, but near.

In the Western Regions, if they learned that the Qiang people had surrendered, what would they think?
The Xiongnu became more and more serious at sunset, and the great Han became more and more prosperous. Just such a small factor can affect major events.

Not to mention that this is not all the Qiang people, the influence is not that great, although in reality, this is indeed not all the Qiang people, there are other tribes on the mountain.

But as far as the present situation is concerned, they are all Qiang people.

Because it is these Qiang people who are enemies of the Han Dynasty, and these Qiang people are also united with the Xiongnu in the Western Regions. They want to contact other Qiang people, but they can't contact them, because they are too far away.

And even if you get in touch, they won't bother you. The Qiang tribe on the mountain is even more barbaric.

So for everyone, these Qiang people surrendered to the Han, which means that all the Qiang people surrendered to the Han.

So these many factors were the reason why Liu Che and Wei Qing lost their composure.

It looks like a simple war with the Qiang people, but through Huo Shan's hands, his influence is extremely great!
These factors, some of them, even Huo Shan, the instigator, didn't think of it!

.........

Liu Che looked at the ministers who were discussing, and gave the Huangmen next to him a look. After the Huangmen saluted, he knocked on the small bell beside him, and the ministers stopped discussing when they heard the voice.

"Zihou sent a letter, saying that he plans to revoke the Qiang School Captain's Mansion and build a new Qiang District Governor's Mansion."

When Sang Hongyang looked bitter, I knew it!

Wei Qing frowned, and after going out to salute, he asked:

"May I ask Your Majesty, what is the role of the Qiang Governor's Mansion?"

"There were only a few words in the letter, and I didn't explain it in detail. Zihou said that he would return to Chang'an in a few days, and we can discuss it when he comes.

The ministers were summoned today to discuss rewards for military exploits. Zihou proposed to confer Li Xi as a Marquis and Xu Ziwei as a Marquis. The officers and men will be rewarded as usual, and the rest will return to Chang'an after the battle in the Western Regions to reward you. What do you think? "

Everyone began to discuss. Actually, there was nothing to discuss. Liu Che said everything, which means he has agreed, but the process still has to go.

After talking for a short time, Wei Qing spoke first:
"Li Xi has fought for my great man all his life, he should have this honor, and Xu Ziwei should also be a lieutenant. I have no objection!"

"My minister agrees!"

……

"Okay, let's do it this way. Li Xi was granted the title of Marquis of Anxi, with a township of [-], and he chose his son to inherit it. Xu Ziwei was named Marquis of Ping and Qiang, with a town of [-].

Send [-] miles to rush to report that there is an edict from Zihou, let him reward and deal with these two people by himself!

Soldiers, deal with it quickly, and it will be completed a year ago! "

Everyone looked at each other and lowered their heads silently.

"promise!"

It is outrageous to ask courtiers to reward courtiers!
