I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 252 My literary and martial arts are indispensable! (seeking subscription)
Of course Liu He trusted Zhao Chongguo, but he didn't intend to let Chang Yilang follow Zhao Chongguo on the expedition.

In the Han Empire, for professional soldiers, going to war was not a forced thing.

Quite the contrary, most are a rare "opportunity".

As long as you perform well, you can stand out, make military exploits, and then be promoted to rank.

Especially the sons and nephews of important officials in the court and the officials around the emperor, going out with the army is a process of accumulating military merits and seniority - there is no danger, and it is justified to be promoted to rank.

Just like General Du Liao Fan Mingyou, wasn't it because he was Huo Guang's son-in-law that he got the opportunity to lead an army to Wuhuan, and then "picked up" a military merit, and then entered the palace?

As long as there is no defeat, it is a small victory, so going out with the army in the big man is simply a matter of making money without losing money.

Zhao Chongguo asked the emperor to put Changyilang under his command, wasn't he implying that the emperor would give Changyilang a chance to make meritorious deeds?
At that time, the Changyi Langs will stay behind when things are dangerous, and the Changyi Langs will move forward when doing meritorious deeds. Even if they can't be blatant, at least there is a lot of room for manipulation.

However, if Liu He remembers correctly, although Zhao Chongguo's army has made the most military exploits, compared with the money and food consumed, it is still a drop in the bucket, not worth it at all.

Let Chang Yilang follow him, there will be no good chance of making meritorious deeds.

So at the moment, Liu He does not comment on Zhao Chongguo's proposal.

After a while, Liu He said slowly: "At the last court meeting, I heard that in addition to the Han army, envoys were also sent to contact the Wusun Kingdom, and asked them to reorganize the army in advance to cope with our Han army's attack. The Huns' offensive, is there such a thing?"

"Your Majesty remembers correctly."

"Who is the envoy sent out?" Liu He asked knowingly.

"Captain Chang Hui." Zhao Chongguo replied.

Liu He secretly rejoiced, as he knew, it was indeed this person who was sent to communicate with Wusun Kingdom.

Chang Hui is not simple. Although his official position is only a lieutenant, one step away from a general, his experience is very dazzling.

When Su Wu was sent to the Western Regions, Chang Hui was Su Wu's deputy envoy. Together with Su Wu, he was forcibly detained in Beihai by the Huns for 19 years, but he never changed his mind.

In short, Chang Hui is as tough as Su Wu,
What is chilling is that after Chang Hui returned to the Han Dynasty, it happened that the Han Dynasty adopted a contraction policy in the Western Regions, so it has not been reused, and only took the "idle position" of Doctor Guanglu.

Now, the army is about to go out, but he has been assigned the most dangerous task.

The Huo family's nephew was added to the rank and title, and Su Wu and Chang Hui sat on the bench, even if it was not selfish, it was selfish.

"He went to Wusun, what will he do?"

"King Wusun wrote clearly in the letter that he will send fifty thousand victorious soldiers to attack with our Han army."

"Chang Hui, how many people will he bring with him?"

"The distance from Chang'an to Wusun is the farthest, and it is not suitable to have many people, so as not to be discovered by the Huns, so there are at most dozens of people."

After pondering in his mind for a moment, Liu He made a final decision. He said, "In this case, I will send twenty Changyi Langs to follow Chang Hui to Wusun Kingdom. Chang Hui can be escorted on the way to Wusun Kingdom. Then you can directly participate in the battle."

The emperor's decision made Zhao Chongguo unexpected. He never expected that the emperor would be Chang Yilang and follow Chang Hui.

Going west to contact Wusun Kingdom is not only the most distant journey, but also the most uncertain future, and naturally the most dangerous.

Maybe it will hit the coalition forces of the Huns and Cheshi.

At that time, let alone making contributions, it is still unknown whether he can come back alive.

"Your Majesty, do you want to think about it again? Going west to Wusun, the future is unclear..." Zhao Chongguo asked hesitantly.

"Old general, I know that you want Chang Yilang to gain something, but I want to make a bet with you, are you willing?" Liu He asked with a smile.

The emperor's words aroused Zhao Chongguo's curiosity, and he actually took up the topic of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"This battle was fought near the Wusun Kingdom. The Wusun Kingdom has the best geographical advantage and harmonious people. I think their achievements will far surpass our Han army."

"My Han army marched in five directions, and I am afraid that it will return in vain in the end."

Although Zhao Chongguo felt that the emperor's words were convincing, he still refused to accept it.

"Your Majesty, what is the bet?" Zhao Chongguo asked.

"If I'm unlucky enough to say something serious, then I hope General Zhao will do one thing for me?"

"What's the matter?"

"Find an opportunity or a reason, and propose to Father Zhong to expand Changyilang to 3000 people." Liu He said what he had been thinking for a long time.

3000 people, that's about the same number as Habayashiro and Kimonro.

The emperor's intention is self-evident, that is, to have a reliable army.It seems that the emperor is finally going to use the method of building a new army to control the military power.

This matter is very sensitive, difficult and dangerous.

But since Zhao Chongguo has the heart for the emperor, even if he doesn't make this bet, as long as the emperor proposes, he will do it.

Thinking about it again, if I dare not stop Huo Guang from sending troops, I have already been disloyal to the big man, and this matter cannot be discounted any more.

"If I lose, I will send the old general a copy of the territory drawn by myself, not only the countries in the Western Regions, but also the countries west of the Western Regions."

The emperor actually heard about the places west of the Western Regions?

The doubts in Zhao Chongguo's heart became heavier, but he immediately saluted and said: "Forgive me for being bold, and I am willing to take this bet!"

"Okay, the old general is heroic!"

After Zhao Chongguo left, Liu He called Gong Sui and asked him to select twenty Changyi Langs and prepare for the expedition immediately.

"20 people?" Gong Sui asked in surprise, which is equivalent to going out of three.

"At this moment, the Han army is fully equipped, and Zhongfu also trusts me quite a bit. There is no need to keep so many people around for the time being. Letting them go to the battlefield to practice and experience is also an indispensable thing."

"By the way, let that Liu Xiang also go. His arrow skills are good, and he will definitely make great achievements."

"No." Gong Sui didn't question anymore.

"When will the new Changyi Lang arrive?"

"On the day when the entire army departs from Chang'an, they should be able to reach Chang'an just in time."

"Okay, so it can be seamlessly connected, and Lao Gongqing will train them into the qualified Langwei as soon as possible."

"promise."

Regarding the expedition to the Huns, all the foreshadowings Liu Heneng buried were laid.

Whether it can play a role, or how much it can play, will not be known until at least three months later.

Therefore, the matter of seizing military power can only wait.

However, Liu He couldn't stop yet, another thing had to start immediately.

Wenzhiwugong is indispensable.

……

Three days after meeting Zhao Chongguo, Liu He was practicing calligraphy in the Xuanshi Hall as usual, and Yu Wuyou hurried in just as he started writing.

Liu He's rule is that when practicing calligraphy, no one is allowed to disturb him, and Yu Wuyou will not break this rule.

He came here in a hurry today, he must have something very important.

Sure enough, when Yu Wuyou came to the hall, he immediately put something on the table.

Because he was too impatient, he even forgot to salute for a while, and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, a new paper has been made!"

In fact, without Yu Wuyou saying it, Liu He had already seen the familiar yet unfamiliar thing on the case.

Paper is really made.

Of course, the quality of this kind of paper is not as good as that of Liu Helai's era, but it is almost the same as the paper used in subsequent dynasties - enough for writing and printing books.

It is enough to reach this point.

Back in Changyi Kingdom, Liu He could actually make paper, but he didn't do that.Because Liu He wants him to appear at a suitable time so that he can play the most effective role.

"What about printing?"

Yu Wuyou smiled, with a look of color on his face, and said, "Xie Lang, Hua Cheng and the others have been working day and night, and have already printed a book."

After finishing speaking, Yu Wuyou immediately took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and put it on the table.

Liu He unfolded the cloth layer by layer with some excitement, and a veritable "book" appeared in front of Liu He.

"Go, call Wang Fu here immediately, I have something important to discuss with you." Liu He picked up the book on the case and shouted.

"promise!"

　After 10 minutes of the second update, I was crazily fishing, and I could write a book with peace of mind tomorrow.
