my brother champion

Chapter 16 Your Majesty!My brother Huo Guang is an honest man
Rich, and a lot of money?

Wei Kang listened.

Senseless.

If he has money, why doesn't he know it himself.

"What are you talking about? Didn't I say it all? I have no money. Didn't you hear me? I have no money!" Mrs. Wei was lying on the bed, but her face was a little impatient.

Huo Guang laughed and said, "How could you have no money? You are a Marquis of Guan Nei after all, and you have taxes, okay!"

in fact.

Whether it is Guanneihou or Liehou.Since Emperor Jing, the country has been no longer granted, and there is only a little food and tax.

As for the food towns, they also vary in number, with many such as Changping Hou and Champion Hou reaching ten thousand households.

The few are only a few hundred.

Mrs. Wei was granted the title of Marquis of Yichun. Although it was a reward from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to his father, Wei Qing, and there were few places to eat, he was a marquis anyway, and he could receive rent and tax.

and!

The most important thing is not the tax, but the name!

Just because Mrs. Wei is the Marquis of Yichun, the No.19 title among the twentieth ranks!
he wants money?

Isn't that a lot of people licking their faces and sending them over?
What's more, he is the son of General Wei Qing, the Wei family has five lords, and is the most noble family in Chang'an City, except for the royal relatives.

After Mrs. Wei heard what Huo Guang said, great doubts appeared on her fat face, as if she was asking Huo Guang, or muttering to herself, "Taxes? What taxes? I didn't know there was such a thing." thing!"

Why doesn't he know?
Bullying men and women every day in Chang'an City, knowing that there are ghosts.

Huo Guang shook his head, sneered secretly, and then explained: "Taxation is the food town granted by His Majesty. If you have no money, you can collect taxes from people's heads. Old cousin, get up quickly, let's pay the rent for so many years together." Taxes come up."

"Oh!" Mrs. Wei immediately became interested when she heard that there was a tax to collect.

But as soon as he stood up from the bed, his face suddenly became ferocious and distorted.

It hurts!

"Hiss, no, no, I can't go today!" Wei Wei gasped, and just got up and walked a few steps before lying down on the bed with his back supported.

Huo Guang looked at Mrs. Wei, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Wei said with a sad face: "My ass was opened by my father, and I can't get off the ground. Cousin, let's wait two days for this matter, and go when I get better!"

"All right."

Handu, inside Weiyang Palace.

The warlike Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, the imperial double arms of the Han Dynasty, to come over.

Wei Qing is the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a relative of the emperor, so it goes without saying that he has a noble status.

As for Huo Qubing?
Wei Qing is his uncle, the queen is his aunt, and the emperor is his uncle. His status is no less noble than General Wei Qing.

Now the three of them gathered together to discuss state affairs.

In fact, it is a family meeting held by the family.

The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty called the two of them today was naturally to discuss dealing with the Huns in the north.

Some time ago, in order to regain Hexi, the attack on the Huns in the north was relaxed, so that Yi Zhixie had time to take the Huns to escape to Mobei.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was bound to fundamentally resolve the threat posed by the Huns to the Han Dynasty, so he was preparing to launch another large-scale military operation.

This is what later generations call the Battle of Mobei!

But the problem is!

Starting a war is a very expensive act for a country.For example, the battles of Henan and Monan and the two battles of Hexi launched by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu had already squandered the "inheritance" left by Emperor Wen and Jing.

Start a bigger war?

That would not just be a waste of time and money.

and so!
Even the great general Wei Qing couldn't help expressing his worries.

"Your Majesty, the Huns have fled far away in the depths of Mobei, and there is still a desert in between. If our army wants to go to Mobei, a cavalry needs to be equipped with three horses to carry supplies. Only in this way can it be possible to cross the desert. Fight!" Wei Qing said bluntly.

The general is not only good at fighting, he is also shrewd.

He knew that the emperor must fight this battle, and if he spoke out to persuade him, his majesty would definitely dislike him.

Simply!
Then he told the money needed to start this war, and let Liu Che understand the price needed to start this war.

A cavalryman with three horses?

Doesn't sound like much, right?

What about the [-] cavalry?

Calculated, a full 30 horses are needed, 30 horses!

Even if the Han Dynasty is turned upside down, it may not be able to make up such a huge number in a short period of time.What's more, the cavalry's weapons, saddles, and the most important logistical support such as food are not included.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard what the general he rewarded said, he fell silent immediately.

war!

It's not child's play.

According to what Wei Qing said, with the current national conditions of the Han Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to launch such a large-scale war.

After a while, Emperor Wu of Han turned his gaze to Huo Qubing and asked, "General Hussars, what do you think?"

As soon as Huo Qubing heard this, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, my eight thousand hussars are good at vertical and horizontal raids, so they don't need to carry supplies. As long as they go into battle lightly, they can fight wherever they want."

"But this time the Xiongnu Da Shanyu fled far away in Mobei. Across the desert, he couldn't even see the shadow of the enemy for thousands of miles, so he couldn't get supplies from the enemy."

"If you want to cross the desert, you need to rely on supplies from the transport troops."

As soon as this word comes out.

A trace of anger began to appear on the face of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Huo Qubing was his favorite military general. Eight hundred hussars took over the Huns' lair and became a marquis in the first battle.In the Battle of Hexi, [-] cavalry swept hundreds of thousands of Huns.

This kind of record, even looking at the past and present, few people have achieved it.

But now.

Even Huo Qubing, the brave champion of the three armies, said that it was difficult to cross the desert. Who else can fight this battle?
"You two generals, how do you talk is similar to that group of civil servants." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a little displeased when he heard this, and after glancing at Huo Qubing, he glanced at Wei Qing and said, "I must fight this battle." of!"

"Otherwise, when the soldiers raised by the Huns become stronger, they will turn around and attack us!"

"After all, isn't it just asking for money!"

"It's a big deal that people build walls and gold paves the road. I will ask Sang Hongyang to raise money and food, and you generals don't need to think about it!"

As soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said this, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing already understood the emperor's determination.

Immediately.

Wei Qing, who missed the Battle of Hexi, immediately cupped his hands and said: "If your Majesty has made up his mind, I would like to ask for orders to go to the battle!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Wei Qing, did not speak, but said: "Forget it, such a big matter will be discussed at the court tomorrow. Speaking of which, I am a little hungry, and I want to eat the beggar chicken from your general's mansion."

"Beggar chicken?" Wei Qing was a little confused.

even.

He has never heard of this thing.

At this time, Emperor Wu of Han continued: "A few days ago at your general's mansion, a young man named Huo Guang invited me to eat."

talking.

Emperor Wu of Han looked at Huo Qubing again, and asked, "General Hushi, this Huo Guang said you are his elder brother, but is it true?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, my brother Huo Guang, just came from Pingyang County with my servants." Huo Qubing said, cupping his hands.

however.

At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "Huo Guang is a clever kid, but he is very naughty. I heard that he followed Yichunhou and gave away all the poultry raised by General Cheng."

"Qubing, you should take care of it."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty blamed this?

Huo Qubing didn't care about these things, he immediately cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have heard about this incident, but my brother is very honest, I have never heard that this matter has anything to do with him."

"I think."

"It's probably because of Mrs. Wei's naughty cousin, who ran off to make trouble."
