Warring States Call

Chapter 2016 Two thousand twenty-six: Twelve Marquises

"Wei Qing has done a great job this time! He defeated Li Shimin, and the lonely Marquis of Zhen Guo has become a foil!" Han Yi stood up and pinched his waist, laughing.

"Your Majesty is so powerful, and General Wei Qing has honed his sword for ten years, so he deserves a reward to comfort all the soldiers!" Cheng Yu strode forward and took the lead in claiming credit for Wei Qing.

"It should be a reward." Han Yi chuckled, glanced at Cheng Yu approvingly, and then said, "Weiqing is named Marquis of Changping, ranking among the [-]th Marquis! Hereditary replacement!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Cheng Yu echoed, and everyone echoed in unison. Even if they felt dissatisfied, they did not dare to express it. Yi Weiqing's record is solid, and there is no problem in being ranked [-]th. The second and the last The most important thing is that Wei Qing's elder sister, Wei Zifu, is the manager of the harem. If she takes the lead now, let alone offend Han Yi, Wei Zifu will have a hard time. , I can't live my life.

"Han Shizhong fought in the South and the North. First he defeated Li Wenzhong in the Battle of Qinghe, and then Gao Xianzhi was defeated by the mountains. He captured hundreds of thousands of people in each battle. This time he defeated Ge Shuhan, one of the eight heroes of the peninsula. He was named Zhongwuhou in this battle alone! Ranked among the Twelve Marquises." Han Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looked around at the faces of everyone, and saw that everyone had no opinion, but Han Yi's hanging heart was to let go.

"Beautiful!" Guo Jia laughed loudly, looked around at everyone, looked at the astonished faces of each one, and said with a smile: "Shuanghou for a day, aren't you lucky?"

"color"

"Cai...Cai Cai!" The crowd burst into joy, and Han Shizhong returned with the army in the hall with a turbulent expression. He smiled at Guo Jia, and then strode out of the line, cupping his hands and bowing: "Thank you, my lord."

"My lord! General Sapphire's battle against Liaoyang this time, beheaded ten times as many enemies with a mere 3000 people, and beheaded more than [-] people, as a reward!" A young man standing at the end was upright, and stood out with his hands clasped. color.

Han Yi glanced at this person up and down, and saw that he was wearing a black robe and a hair crown, standing at the end of the hall, holding a simple pen, and he was the scribe who recorded important information for the court meeting. Han Yi looked at this person, His expression froze and he said, "Who are you!"

"Chen Hai Rui has seen the king!"

"Hai Rui!" Han Yi was taken aback, folded his hands in front of his chest, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes: "I remember you are the official of the Prince's Mansion!"

"Yes!"

Han Yi rode and pinched his beard, looked at Hai Rui, was silent for a while, and said for a while, "Lanyu's battle in Liaoyang has indeed demonstrated the majesty of our army! You can make Lanyu Duke of Liang, ranking 36th." !"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Hai Rui sang loudly, and everyone was stunned for a moment, then reacted and clapped their hands and sang.

"Hehe!" Han Yi waved his sleeves and retreated. Gao Lishi shouted angrily, "Retire!"

Everyone was gathered together, Wang Meng walked out with the hem of his clothes in his hands, his expression was indifferent, and a few scattered ministers behind him came out in twos and threes, Wang Meng was getting older, and his temper was getting more and more strange, and he used to get along with everyone They are very harmonious, but now their tempers are getting more and more eccentric. If they understand, they will naturally understand, and if they don't understand, they are unwilling to approach them, so as not to be reprimanded by Wang Meng.

"Prime Minister!" A clear voice sounded, and Wang Meng held Bai Gui with both hands, turned his head and looked at the source of the voice, only to see that the person who came was a middle-aged man, wearing the robe of a royal doctor, with a respectful look in his eyes , although there is a beard at the corner of his mouth, but he can vaguely tell that he was also a handsome man when he was young.

"Han Zhigui!" Wang Meng was taken aback for a moment, then pinned Yugui to his belt with his hands behind his back, looking like an elder looking at the younger generation, he was not in a hurry to speak, waiting for Han Qi's next words.

"Prime Minister! I haven't seen you for a long time! My lord is still in good health!" Han Qi saluted with a refined appearance, and then supported Wang Meng.

"Go, go! I'm not old! Don't bother to help me, kid. I haven't learned much in Wu country, so why are you flattering me?" Wang Meng looked at Han Qi in disgust. His voice was so loud that it attracted the surrounding officials to wait and see. He waved his sleeves again and again, as if to repel flies.

"Alas! This Han Qi was scolded by the Prime Minister just after he came back!...Hahaha...look at him!"

"That's enough, that's enough! It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, be careful not to burn yourself, the Prime Minister will give you a copy tomorrow, let's go...!" The official next to him pulled his colleague and left.

Han Qi looked at everyone's eyes, but he was not angry, he still stepped forward to support Wang Meng, and then whispered: "You know the prime minister's intentions, it's just today, the prime minister doesn't need to be like this! I will definitely not bother you in the future!"

Hearing this, Wang Meng withdrew his feigned anger, walked forward with Han Qi's support, and said with a strange smile, "Say what you have to say."

"Looking at the Prime Minister's activities these years, does the Prime Minister want to retire? In my opinion, it doesn't have to be so! Your Majesty is broad-minded, not a narrow-minded person!" Han Qi supported Wang Meng to walk forward, looking at the noon sun, Han Qi Check Wang Meng's expression from time to time.

"Haha!" Feeling the sunlight shining on his face, Wang Meng looked at Han Qi and said, "As a prime minister, you only need to do three things. First, be loyal to the emperor, second, be loyal to the common people, and third, stay behind for your name before and after your death!"

After hearing this, Han Qi looked a little suspicious. He didn't know whether Wang Meng was playing dumb with himself or what he was doing.

"This old man has been following the king from Chenggao all his life. It has been more than 30 years now. This half of his life can be regarded as loyal and devoted to the common people. But the court is not as clear as usual. When the king was still a prince , we will do our best to help His Majesty ascend to the throne, and when His Majesty ascends to the throne, we will do our best to help His Majesty rule the world, although the world is peaceful now, but look at these people...!" Wang Meng said, pointing to the front of his eyes. The people walking in twos and threes looked helpless and said: "Cliques are formed, spring and autumn come, it's another game of chess, some of them are for the prince, some of them are for several highnesses, ups and downs, just like back then!"

"My lord is right...!" Han Qi looked at the palace gate so close, his heart was like a rootless duckweed, swaying left and right, hard to hold on.

"Okay! Zhigui! You will be sent here!" Wang Meng withdrew his hand, glanced at Han Qi, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Zhigui, the four phases in this country represent poor families and noble families respectively. The old man represents the poor family, Xun Yu represents the noble family, Han Fei represents the clan, and Li Si is the king's confidant. When a government order is issued, it will inevitably Affecting the division of interests among the four forces in the country, the king will need to act at that time. This is also the reason why the country has been able to develop steadily to the present. You are a child of the domestic clan, and Han Fei's position must be yours. You have a trick"

When Wang Meng said this, he glanced around, and said for a while: "Civil officials are different from military generals. As long as military generals are out of military power, they can sue their old age and return home. But civil servants are different. Civil servants are a network of connections. At this time, if you don’t cut off this network of relationships, you will definitely be implicated in it in the future. After the grassland battle is over, this old man will be old, and it will be your young world in the future. This old man is gone.”

"Prime Minister, go slowly!" Han Qi looked at Wang Meng who was gradually leaving, looked at the sun high in the sky, thought carefully, and walked away.

On the stone steps of the study, Han Yi strode forward and asked Gao Lishi behind him, "Who are the 36th Marquis and the [-]th Duke now?"

"I report to the king, Han Qinhu, Marquis of Zhenguo, Gongsunyan, Marquis of Wuyi, Hanxin, Marquis of Huaiyin, Wu Qi, Marquis of Wu'an, Yuefei, Marquis of Founding, Huo Qubing, Marquis of Champion, Sun Wu, Marquis of Zhenwu, Zhuge Liang, Marquis of Wuyi, Weiqing, Marquis of Changping, Zhongwu Hou Han Shizhong, Feng Hou Feng Yi, and now there are only generals Cao Cao who are candidates, and the twelve princes have already gathered." Gao Lishi followed behind Han Yi, and Han Yi was stunned. Reluctantly, he continued to walk forward, and said indifferently: "Go on!"

"Wu Duan Gong Yuan Chonghuan, Hu Guo Gong Yang Ye, Wu Zhuo Gong Ran Min, Guan Nei Gong Huang Zhong, Liang Guo Gong Lan Yu! And Lao Ting Gong Du Yu." Gao Lishi truthfully explained the situation, and Han Yi nodded. understand the current situation.

Rewarding nobles with merit is the foundation of foundation. Xing Tian, ​​Li Cunxiao, Jia Fu, Deng Yu, Wu Han, Guan Yu and others can all become dukes, but the right opportunity has not yet been reached. It's for rewards, after all, they have to give them an explanation.

Han Yi took a deep breath, looked at the lake in front of the study, rubbed his tired forehead, and said indifferently: "Let Yuan Chonghuan, Yang Ye, Wu Han, and Deng Yu go north first, and order Chang Yuchun and Ma Yuan to do a good job." Prepare for war, ready to go out of the Great Wall at any time, Feng Yi is the governor of Yanmen, and Zhuge Liang is the governor of Shanggu, so there is no need to go north with the army. Han Xin, Wu Qi, Yue Fei, and Sun Wu are the first to go north. With 40 troops as the vanguard, the main battlefield will be opened Outside the Great Wall!"

"promise!"

"How long will it be before the prince comes back!" Han Yi felt extremely refreshed with the lake breeze blowing, staring indifferently at the front, pressing the carved stone lion with an extremely dignified expression.

"Your Majesty!" A soft voice came out, and Guo Jia's unrestrained love for freedom appeared in front of Han Yi. When Han Yi saw it, his eyes raised, looked at Guo Jia, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Bong Xiao! What kind of wind brought you here today!"

"Does your majesty have any wine? These days, the family is very strict, so I ask you for a drink!" Guo Jia shook the gourd in his hand, his eyes were full of cynical looks.

"Come on! Enough!"

"Okay! Thank you very much... Hahahaha!"

In the Spring Breeze Pavilion, Gao Lishi brought some delicacies and fine wines, then stepped aside, Han Yi took a sip from the wine glass, looked at Guo Jia, and said with a smile: "What wind brought you here! Tell me! "

Guo Jia casually threw the chicken bone he had gnawed into the lake, rubbed his fingers, drank a bottle of spirits, breathed out, screamed comfortably, picked up the towel and wiped the oil stains on his hands, the original cynical smile faded away , replaced by a touch of dignity: "I think! It is not appropriate to send millions of troops in this battle!"

"Hmm!" Han Yi frowned, put down the wine glass he had just picked up, and reached out to pick up the rag on the table. Han Yi wiped his hands, stared at Guo Jia with a solemn expression, and said solemnly: "Why? !"

"This time sending millions of troops, although the momentum is huge, the daily consumption of food and grass is hundreds of gold a day, and the movement of soldiers and horses is slow. The mobility of the cavalry on the grassland is extremely strong. Once our troops are divided into two groups, the other route is inevitable. We will receive the enemy's attack, and the original good situation will be lost at any time, and our situation will become more passive! Not to mention whether we win or not, once we lose, the king's decades of hard work will be gone." Guo Jia Speaking of this, his expression was extremely solemn, and he couldn't even drink the fine wine in front of him.

"Yeah!" Han Yi took a sip from the cup he was holding, and a strong pungent smell hit Han Yi. At the same time, Han Yi woke up a lot. He rubbed his sore neck. Han Yi stared at Guo Jia with a dull expression. Said: "With your suggestion, what do you think!"

"Assemble 20 elite domestic infantry and 30 elite cavalry. Only these 50 soldiers and horses are needed to fight the enemy to the death. There are not too many soldiers but elite soldiers. Even if the front line is defeated, there is still room for maneuver in the country!" Guo Jia said. He looked very solemn here.

Han Yi groped his beard, drank the wine in the bowl, one glass after another, and stared at Guo Jia for a long time: "What do you think this victory is?"

"My lord! This is not you! The lord I know never asks about the odds. The lord I know only wins!" Guo Jia put down the cup in his hand, his expression calm.

"Hahahahaha! Hahahaha" Han Yi patted his thigh, staring at Guo Jia with tiger eyes, Han Yi held up the cup in his hand, respected Guo Jia and said, "How about staying with me this time!"

Guo Jia looked at Han Yi, the pavilion wind blew on Guo Jia's face, blowing hairlines, Guo Jia picked up the cup in his hand, touched Han Yi, and said with a strange smile: "I would like to go with you, and kill him." Hu Qiang 300 million!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The one shot was over, and Han Chen returned to Chang'an three days later. Han Yi also started to mobilize domestic troops in the past few days. Han Xin, Wu Qi, Sun Wu, and Yue Fei were the first to set off to send troops to the north. For this Northern Expedition, Han Yi specially activated Li Jing And Xue Rengui, let these two lead [-] soldiers, if they achieve certain meritorious service, they won't be left out in the future. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing also rushed towards the Hubei Grassland after three days of rectification.

Han Qinhu stayed at the border of Yan State and guarded the land of Yan, while the Korean peninsula was classified as Xian County, and Han Derang was the county guard.

The whole situation is no longer calm, the wind in the grassland is no longer as fresh and charming as before, but has a bloody and solemn taste.

In the past few days, there have been no less than thousands of probing scouts on the entire Hulun Grassland. It seems that masters are fighting each other. It loses its final offensive ability.

"Khan!" Mu Huali walked into the tent with a serious expression on his face. He came to Temujin's side with a scimitar in his hand and said, "Of the 52 scouts, [-] have not returned, [-] more than yesterday!"
