The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 211 Uncle Xie’s Cultivation
Kylin Hall.

Wei Qing and Zhuang Qingzhai looked solemn.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty informed Wei Qing and Zhuang Qingzhai of Wei Ning's analysis of Luoyue tribes.

Wei Qing was silent for a moment, looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and suggested: "Your Majesty, Zhenbei Hou's analysis is not unreasonable."

More than ten years ago, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne for the first time and used Yan Zhu, Wang Hui, and Han Anguo to pacify the southeastern tribes.

The ethnic minorities in Nanqiang were also completely opened up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and almost the entire land territory south of Yunnan and Guizhou was within the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che was given the posthumous title of Emperor Xiaowu after his death, which is a testament to his great martial arts.

You can accuse Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty of being dim in his later years, but there is no way to deny his contribution to ancient China in terms of military preparations!
After Southern Xinjiang was opened up, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not manage Southern Xinjiang well.

Or is it because the political and economic centers of the country during the Qin and Han Dynasties were all in the north, and the south failed to develop.

To say the least, it has no strategic and economic value in the South Vietnamese tribes, so let the Han court pay attention to it.

Therefore, after conquering Southern Xinjiang, the entire Han Dynasty did not pay much attention to Southern Xinjiang, and the place was not worth the Han Dynasty's energy to manage.

As the two prime ministers of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Zhuang Qingzhai actually did not know the development of the military strength of the South Vietnamese tribes.

But ten years ago, they were pushed to the ground and rubbed by a big man, which made them unable to pay any attention to it.

Wei Qing's words still gave Wei Ning face. After all, Wei Ning was his nephew, and Wei Qing still had to protect Wei Ning's face.

He and Li Cai actually had the same idea. They didn't think that the Luoyue tribe dared to attack the Jiaozhi tribes under the nose of the Han Dynasty.

But Wei Qing also couldn't explain the reason why the Luoyue people pushed their troops eastward.

Wei Qing pondered for a moment and suggested to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, I secretly think that we should stand still and wait for opportunities to observe."

Although the Han Dynasty did not have the energy to mobilize troops on both fronts at the same time, it could allow the governors of southern Xinjiang to pay close attention to the movements of the Luoyue people and pass the information on southern Xinjiang back to the capital as quickly as possible to adapt to changes.

Zhuang Qingzhai clasped his fists and said, "Sima Nai, the great minister of Wei, said it with experience. I second my opinion."

There is no better way to deal with it now, this is the only way.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded and said to Wei Qing: "Let Li Cai keep a close eye on me, and don't let down your guard."

"Here!"

Wei Qing and Zhuang Qingzhai left.

Zhuang Qingzhai glanced at Wei Ning suspiciously and then left.

Strange.

Weining's weight in His Majesty's heart seems to be higher than that of Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing was almost inseparable from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty before, but now it's Weining?
This is different from what was expected!

Before Wei Ning recognized his ancestor and joined the Wei family tree, they all speculated that Wei Ning's political status might decline sharply in the future.

After all, the Wei family has already produced a powerful official.

Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deprived Wei Qing of his military power, he would still consult Wei Qing on major national military matters.

Different from Li Shimin.

Li Shimin had too many capable ministers and generals, so Li Shimin curbed all of Li Jing's power and placed him under house arrest.

However, there were too few famous ministers in the Han Dynasty and not many people could be used. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still needed to rely on Wei Qing.

But what puzzled Zhuang Qingzhai was that the Wei family already had a powerful official, and Wei Ning was personally promoted by Wei Qing in the army, so he was fundamentally different from Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing was brought up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty naturally felt relieved about Huo Qubing.

But not Weining.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was definitely afraid of Wei Qing, so he would also be afraid of Wei Ning.

What now?
Not only did Weining have to accompany him, but he also asked Weining for his opinion on military and national affairs?

This is what makes Zhuang Qingzhai puzzled.

In other words, after Wei Ning recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, not only was he not affected in any way, but he became more and more important in the heart of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

……

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked someone to come over with a tea cup and motioned for Wei Ning to sit next to him.

Wei Ning: "..."

"Your Majesty, isn't this appropriate?" This is the Qilin Hall. Who dares to sit next to you?

Not to mention sitting down, even standing up is arrogant.

If someone spreads the news, I will be impeached and beaten to death.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said calmly: "It's okay, there are no outsiders here."

He raised his eyes and glanced at the eunuch, who left in a hurry.

Last time Su Wen was killed, the whole palace was in turmoil. Who dared to be a white-eyed wolf?

Weining came and sat down next to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty handed him the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"If Luo Yue is really as you analyzed, what do you think we should do?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at Weining and asked.

Now there is no way to mobilize troops southward on a large scale, and the tribes south of Yunnan and Guizhou cannot easily fall into the hands of the Luoyue people.

Fighting a small tribe and fighting a large and expanded tribe have different difficulties and consume different national power.

Wei Ning thought for a while and said, "Take precautions in advance."

"Send someone to secretly go to the various tribes in Jiaozhi and ask them to take strict precautions so as not to be caught off guard by the Luoyue people."

"Whether we send people to infiltrate the Luoyue people or use bribery tactics, we must first find out the true and false military status of the Luoyue tribe."

Now the Han Dynasty knows little about the Luoyue people, and has no idea what they have developed in the past ten years.

The book of war says that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you survive a hundred battles.

I don’t understand anything now, and the big man is too passive.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hummed and said to Wei Ning: "After all, Luoyue is a small tribe. We need to be on guard to check the truth."

"You will go find Li Cai later and ask Li Cai to handle the matter according to your ideas."

Wei Ning: "Me?"

How do I have the right to order Li Cai to do things?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "Yes, you."

"I will give you a token, you go find Li Cai."

"You should get involved in these matters first. I don't have the energy to analyze the armed war on both fronts at the same time."

"You can just take this opportunity to exercise your ability to govern the country."

To exercise the ability to govern the country?
Wei Ning became more and more confused. He looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with confusion and asked softly: "Uncle, what do you mean?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a moment and suddenly smiled.

"I've never heard your boy call me that."

"Since we are all a family, what do you mean? Of course I am nurturing you."

"I don't expect more from you than a reckless man on the battlefield. That's useless."

Wei Ning: "Become a person like my uncle?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shook his head: "It's even more powerful than him."

More powerful than Wei Qing?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said: "Go ahead and do things first. I have taught you all the tribes in South Vietnam and how to govern them."

"Don't be stressed. It doesn't matter whether the treatment is good or not. Just practice your skills."

Wei Ning took a deep breath, stood up, bowed and saluted, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your cultivation!"

"Go."

Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand.

Wei Ning did not hesitate, took the token from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, left the Qilin Hall, and walked straight towards the Da Sima Yamen Office.

Not long after, he found Li Cai, the servant.

Li Cai looked at Weining with a puzzled look on his face, and asked in confusion: "Why did the Marquis of Zhenbei come to my residence?"
