Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 110 The Agreement with Huo Qubing

"Before, I didn't quite understand why Han Yan came directly to me. I was still wondering if there would be any traps. But now that I see the way you speak, I understand instantly."

Huo Qubing shook his head: "Is there something wrong with the way I spoke?"

"It's a good thing that the generals of the empire want to fight for His Majesty." Li Huan shook his head and said, "It's just that those who say they are against going to war now are probably civilian officials."

"Civil officials are greedy for life and afraid of death, and it's not just one day or two." Huo Qubing then shook his head: "Brother Huan, I never saw that you are also a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

Li Huan rolled his eyes: "During the disaster of Xin Zhao, I had already led my people to kill you before you even came out of the forest with your troops. If you want to win a war, you definitely can't rely solely on force.

If he only relied on force, how could Emperor Gaozu defeat the overlord of Western Chu who could carry the cauldron? "

Huo Qubing instantly acted like a student who was obeying the teacher's instructions. He even sat up straight: "So, Brother Huan has already thought of a countermeasure?"

"I can't say any countermeasures, just look at Your Majesty. If Your Majesty orders the Northern Expedition, I will definitely be unable to avoid it." Li Huan mused, "Of course, you should stay here, it is impossible to join the army."

"Brother Huan, do you think I don't know why my mother asked me to ask Your Majesty to give me this mansion?" Huo Qubing suddenly changed the subject, and even the smile on his face showed a hint of maturity in detecting the conspiracy. feel.

Li Huan snorted, his eyes full of disbelief: "You know?"

"Of course I know, but if it doesn't satisfy me, this matter cannot be decided."

Li Huan frowned and said seriously: "Qubing, you can do whatever you want with other things, but this kind of thing is not about your face alone. Look, if you make a joke, how will the girl’s family live in the future?”

"How can I live with a girl?" Huo Qubing stood up in an instant. Li Huan looked at him and felt that his hair stood on end one by one.

"Brother Huan, what does my mother mean?"

Li Huan realized that he had been fooled...

"You...how can you put this thought on me?" Li Huan was so depressed that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I..." Huo Qubing's face was also full of astonishment: "I thought you were going to marry my mother... How could I have imagined that I was going to get married? I didn't know anything about this? If you knew it, you wouldn't want to marry me. explain?"

"Me?" Li Huan shook his head: "It's absolutely nothing. If it didn't happen to me, then I was going to tell you... Well, although I don't know who the girl is now, but I heard from the nobleman, This girl's ancestor was also a hero who followed Emperor Gaozu to rule the world, and he will never humiliate you..."

"No need to talk!" Huo Qubing pressed the hilt of the knife at his waist and said aggressively, "A woman will only affect the speed at which I draw the knife..."

"I said these words, don't use them indiscriminately." Just when Li Huan was about to persuade him again, Huo Qubing suddenly seemed to be unable to keep his serious face, and said with a smile:

"Brother Huan, it's not impossible for me to accept the arrangement. You have to find a way to let me follow the army in the northern expedition!"

"You are really talking nonsense." Li Huan shook his head: "There is absolutely no such possibility."

"Then why don't you let me take my brothers and take a look at what the battlefield looks like from a distance?" Huo Qubing's face was full of sincerity: "Brother Huan, you probably don't know these brothers under me, right? Their ancestors and fathers all died in the battle against the Huns, and the meaning of their lives is to kill the Huns and avenge their ancestors and fathers!"

Li Huan was really moved when he heard this.

"They have been training so hard these days, don't they just want to wash away their shame on the battlefield?" Huo Qubing kept chattering.Li Huan rubbed his hands: "Okay, don't keep talking, bitches. If His Majesty really orders the Northern Expedition to the Huns, I can take you to see what the real battlefield is like, but you also have to I promise, when we get to the north, everything will be at my command!"

"Don't worry, sir. If Huo Qubing, the last general, disobeys military orders at all, please behead me!"

Seeing Huo Qubing's solemn expression, Li Huan shook his head helplessly: "Don't be too happy first. If His Majesty gives up the idea of ​​the Northern Expedition, you have to get married with peace of mind, and you are not allowed to have any resistance, okay?"

"Hahaha...Brother Huan, I know Your Majesty very well. He will definitely send troops to the Northern Expedition." Huo Qubing looked unconcerned.

Li Huan shook his head: "Did you hear clearly what I said?"

"Don't worry, Junhou, you will hear the truth!" Huo Qubing laughed and said, "If Your Majesty orders the Northern Expedition, Mo will follow Junhou all the way north to watch the battle, and everything will be arranged by Junhou; but if Your Majesty forbears and does not send troops, then You can get married with peace of mind soon, right?"

Li Huan shrugged: "Don't be joking, today is too late, I will go to see His Majesty tomorrow, and sending troops to the Northern Expedition at this time is no joke!"

When Huo Qubing heard this, he came to his senses and said hurriedly: "Brother Huan, if it weren't for this, His Majesty would have been undecided. If you try to persuade him, Your Majesty will definitely give up the idea of ​​sending troops."

Li Huan frowned: "Qu Bing, brother Ziwen has been kind to me for his life. Now he is being detained by the Huns and trapped in a land of tigers and wolves. Am I the one who can just sit back and watch?"

"Brother Huan, you agree with His Majesty sending troops!" Huo Qubing was very excited, as if he believed what Li Huan said.

Li Huan nodded: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, call all the craftsmen who have been carefully selected in the family, and I will explore the secrets of movable type printing with them tonight."

Huo Qubing immediately went to call for help, even thinking that this must be a very difficult thing.

As a result... only half an hour later, Li Huan was already whistling leisurely and going upstairs with Cuihua in his arms...

Later, Huo Qubing saw the blank sheets of paper that had been cut out one by one. They were gently placed on the ink-brushed font template and pressed against it. Then they were lifted up, and the words were instantly written on them.

"This..." Huo Qubing stretched out his hand to stop a craftsman and asked, "Isn't it said that it's difficult? How can it be done in one go?"

The craftsman looked at Huo Qubing with some fear, nodded and said: "It is indeed difficult... the proportion of the ink was not chosen correctly. Junhou personally mixed it more than [-] times, and he succeeded..."

Huo Qubing went back to his room with a depressed look on his face. He always felt that there was something wrong with Li Huan agreeing so quickly.

But what's the problem?

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out.

However, Huo Qubing didn't believe it. He would follow Li Huan to see the emperor tomorrow. Could he persuade the emperor to put off the idea of ​​the Northern Expedition under his nose?
However, before Li Huan went to meet Emperor Liu Che himself, Liu Che's edict to enlist him to enter the palace to ask about politics had already arrived at the Marquis Mansion in the early morning of the second day.

Huo Qubing acted as Li Huan's guard leader and rode straight to Chang'an City.

"Brother Huan, don't forget that you persuaded His Majesty to send troops!"
