Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

"You mean Wei's soldiers defeated 30 Zhao troops with [-] troops?"

"And this Wei soldier is still under the command of King Wu Zhao Hongming? Dad, are you kidding me? How could that unpopular fifth prince be so virtuous?"

In Daliang Huo Mansion, Huo Xianshui stared at the middle-aged man standing in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief.

This middle-aged man was wearing a black silk robe, with a pair of thin hands exposed under the loose robe. He exuded a serious and decisive air, calm, quiet and profound.

This person is none other than Huo Yu, the general of the Wei State - the only person in the Wei State who was awarded the title of general due to his cultivation in the Xiantian Realm.

As a general with a low level of cultivation, he was not qualified to challenge the imperial court. He was able to get to this point mostly because of the power of his family.

Now that the war around Wei is over, Emperor Jian'an has transferred him back to Daliang on the grounds that the surrounding areas are peaceful and he needs to recuperate. The intention behind this is self-evident.

But he didn't expect to hear such information just after returning to Daliang, which made his already bad mood even more unhappy.

"I'm not kidding you." General Huo Yu said with a solemn expression: "This is the information I got from the Yingjun Commandery. It can't be wrong."

"If it were just like this, forget it. What's more important is that after this battle, all my arrangements in the Eastern Army were burned down, and Lu Zonghui of the Eastern Army also died in the rebellion."

"Now the Eastern Army is completely handed over to Cen Xiu. From now on, it will be difficult for our Huo family to get involved in the entire Eastern Army." Huo Yu sighed and said, "Zhao Meixu recalled me to Daliang at this opportunity. , is a very bad sign. If our ancestor dies, our Huo family may face annihilation."

"Ah?" Huo Xianshui exclaimed, and after a brief silence he said, "Dad, maybe the matter is not as serious as you said, right?"

"The situation may be even worse." Huo Yu said worriedly: "Our Emperor is not the same as Zhao Guo. Judging from the way he slaughtered the beams last year, he still firmly controls the power of the court and controls Royal.”

"Our private actions over the years may not escape the eyes of Zhao Meixu. Now His Highness King Wu is exactly like him. He can control a strong army when he reaches the border. They, father and son, are one and the same. Outside, every moment of silence and movement, it’s hard not to think too much.”

"Recently, I even heard that in the court, Zhao Meixu had the idea of ​​making King Wu Zhao Hongming the crown prince."

Huo Xianshui persuaded: "Dad, since the founding of the Wei Kingdom, none of the princes who have established houses and crowned kings have been canonized as princes. You don't need to be too worried."

"This King Wu is far from as simple as he seems! Zhao Meixu's attitude towards him is obviously different from other princes, and there are secrets in it that we don't know about."

"I think the Wei army's defeat of Li Mu and the eradication of the Eastern army Lu Zonghui were all the work of King Wu."

Huo Yu glanced at Huo Xianshui and said with emotion: "It would be great if you and the fifth prince could get married last year. At that time, the fifth prince was still indifferent and was not taken seriously by Zhao Meixu. With the status of our Huo family And means, if it were not for the Korean assassin at that time, he would definitely be married to the fifth prince, and he might have an extra card in his hand today, instead of the current situation."

When Huo Yu said this, he felt a little regretful.

Huo Xianshui subconsciously looked at his legs and remained silent.

Now that her leg has been repaired by famous doctors, it has returned to its original state, but the experience of that day still leaves a deep impression on her and she doesn't want to think about it.

However, even if there were no Korean assassins to chop off her legs at that time, she would not have agreed to Zhao Hongming's request because of her personality.

Zhao Hongming is unknown and has no mother-in-law power behind him. No matter from which point of view, he will only be an idle prince with no potential in the future.

Even if she gets along well with him, she is still an idle princess at best.The current achievements were beyond what she could have expected at the time.

I can only say that I was wrong at the time.

Now that Zhao Hongming has shown his prominence, if Emperor Jian'an really wants to make him the crown prince, then Zhao Hongming can choose women who are more beautiful, more powerful than her, and have higher cultivation level than her.

It's not okay to be like this.

Involuntarily, I felt a little disappointed in my heart.

……

Qianqing Palace of Wei State.

The faces of Emperor Jian'an and his ministers were all filled with the joy of spring breeze. Apparently they had received the news that Wei Jun had conquered thirty cities of Zhao Kingdom.

Speaking of which, this was a rare victory for Emperor Jian'an since he ascended the throne. It could even go down in history and make many court officials happy.

Emperor Jian'an Zhao Meixu sat on the dragon chair and asked: "King Wu and General Cen Xiu have written to me, hoping to confer Wu Qi as the right general. What do you all think?"

Regarding this matter, in fact, before the morning court, Zhao Meixu had discussed it with Xiao Boling, the right prime minister of Zhongshu, and Hong Daowen, the left prime minister of Zhongshu, and they had made a decision.

At this time, bringing this matter out in the morning is just to implement the final result and go through the process.

Xiao Boling, the right prime minister of Zhongshu, stepped forward and said, "Wu Qi trained Wei soldiers and defeated 30 Zhao soldiers with [-] Wei soldiers. Now he followed Cen Xiu to conquer the territory of Zhao and conquered [-] cities in a row. Such achievements Enough to make a general."

Zhongshu Zuo Chenghong Daowen stood up and said: "I second the proposal!"

Important core officials such as Chen Mou, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Shaobao Yu Hezheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, also chose to agree.

Emperor Jian'an suddenly became overjoyed and said happily: "Eunuch Feng, I have drafted an imperial edict to grant Wu Qi the position of General on the Right Side of the Wei Kingdom, and he will serve under King Wu."

"Slave, obey!"

"There is one more thing that I need to discuss with my beloved ministers." Emperor Jian'an continued to ask: "Now that our Wei army has captured thirty cities in the Zhao Kingdom, do our beloved ministers think our Wei army should continue to march north?"

Yu Hezheng, Minister of the Ministry of War and Shaobao, stood up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I feel that our purpose of teaching Zhao Guo has been achieved, and we should not continue to fight against Zhao Guo."

When Emperor Jian'an heard such remarks, he frowned and said, "Yu Shaobao will elaborate."

Yu Hezheng continued: "Your Majesty, there are only 10,000+ Wei troops who have captured the entire thirty cities in the east of Hedong. They have penetrated deep into the hinterland of Zhao State and far away from the territory of Wei State. The logistics expenditure is already a large number. If we continue to attack like this, I am afraid that It will drag down the taxes of border areas such as Ying County. Wei Chen believes that this war is too hasty and it is not easy to obtain the Warring States today, so we should stop as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Hubu immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think we should continue to attack Zhao. Our Wei army of 30 defeated Li Mu's [-] army, which shows that Li Mu actually gained fame in vain, and the entire Zhao Kingdom was also in vain. On the surface. Fighting opportunities are fleeting. We should take advantage of the momentum of victory, expand the results in time, and make immortal contributions. If we retreat at this time, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity again in the future." (End of this chapter)
