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

Chapter 280 Angry Chang'an

Many marriages still need to be handled by the woman's family, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not care about these and left everything to Wei Zifu.

He had more important things to do. After chatting hastily with Wei Zifu for a while, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to the former court.

He has already planned everything in his mind. Tomorrow at the court meeting, he will announce the posthumous title of Lord Wei Ping as the Queen, and appoint Wei Zifu as the Queen of the Han Dynasty!

As soon as they arrived at Qilin Hall, the eunuch hurriedly came over again with a soldier.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in a good mood and asked the soldiers: "What's going on with the Marquis of Zhenbei?"

Is there anything this kid can't say all at once? They have to come in batches.

The soldier said in fear: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Wuwei County is reporting urgently, Li Guang is reporting urgently!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a moment: "Speak quickly!"

After the messengers informed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Wuwei County was occupied by the Huns, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious.

He never expected that Wuwei would be occupied by his opponent before the army could attack.

The Huns used nearly 60,000 troops and paid a price of 50,000 people, and finally quickly occupied Wuwei County!

The cruelty and bloodiness in this process can be imagined. Yi Zhixie Shanyu was also determined to capture Wuwei County. He knew that his army could no longer compete with the Han army head-on, so he did not hesitate to sacrifice such a huge force to capture Wuwei County. In order to block the first stop of the four counties in Hexi, the Han Dynasty was restrained from continuing to advance into the Hexi Corridor.

If your army continues to penetrate deeper, then the people of Wuwei will no longer want you. The more than 50,000 people in Wuwei County are Yi Zhixie's trump card!

He just wants to see how you, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, decide. If you spend all your time on attacking Wuwei County, your loss of strength will be as much as that of the Huns.

At that time, even if you take Wuwei County, you will not have the energy and strength to continue to fight the remaining Huns in the Hexi Corridor, so this war will end in Wuwei.

The Huns will once again be hanging on for a while, giving them a breathing space to continue developing for another year.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spent a lot of money this time. He would not be reconciled if he stopped without even going to Hexi!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned the ministers angrily. When the ministers learned the difficult news, they all looked solemn.

Yi Zhixie Shanyu played this game really well. If you want to abandon Wuwei County, then you, the Emperor of Han, will never be able to wash away the crime of abandoning the lives of more than 50,000 people!

If this is true, will the people of Han Dynasty still think of you, the Emperor of Han Dynasty?

The common people don't care how many difficulties you have. If you abandon them, the consequences of the backlash will be very serious.

But if you really go to attack Wuwei County, you won't be able to win it at all unless you send troops at the same cost as the Huns.

After losing one-third of their troops, the Han army would never dare to risk going to the Hexi Corridor again. Yizhixie Shanyu could use this conspiracy to completely let his tribesmen breathe for a year...or even longer!

The expressions of the monarchs and ministers in the entire hall were extremely gloomy. Now is the time to make a decision.

The civil servants headed by Zhuang Qingzhai and Dong Zhongshu immediately came out and suggested that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty give up the military operation to march westward to destroy the Xiongnu and capture Wuwei County at all costs.

Wei Qing also insisted on this. He also believed that the Han army should take down Wuwei first, otherwise the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not be able to deal with himself in the future.

There are also some officials who are fiercely opposed, and their objections are not without reason. They believed that since the Han finally captured Wuwei County, the Huns would brutally slaughter all the people in Wuwei County, and no one knew what was happening to the people in the city.

Maybe all the people in the city are dead now, so what's the point of the Han army taking over Wuwei County? It would be better for the brigade to abandon Wuwei County and advance directly to Hexi, fighting blood for blood and tooth for tooth.

We will kill them as many as he kills us, or even more!

In short, both those who agree and disagree have their own reasons.

The choice was all in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Either fight or abandon the city. No matter which way he chose, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would be in a dilemma.

The atmosphere in the hall was strangely quiet, and all the ministers were waiting for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's decision.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had been tough all his life, but at this moment he relented.

He said decisively: "Wu Wei wants to save!"

He clenched his fists and said in humiliation: "The plan to attack the Xiongnu has come to an end. We must first protect Wuwei County...even if it is an empty city! We must take it down for me!"

You know, it was very difficult for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to make this choice. He had been preparing for so long just to annihilate the Xiongnu this time, and he was prepared to endure it for a long, long time.

I never expected that this would be the final result.

Wuwei County had to be saved. He had to save Wuwei County for the future of the Han Empire and the inheritance of the Liu family! Even if it was an empty city, even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had to pay a heavy sacrifice, he had to save it!

Only when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finished speaking, someone immediately came to tell Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Li Guang's army planned to abandon Wuwei County. The reason he gave was very simple. Before setting off, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave him a death order to win this war and let Li Guang win the war. There will be no Huns herding horses after the frontier fortress!

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, his angry eyes bulged out: "Li Guang! Damn it!"

"Who gave him the courage! Who asked him to make his own decision!"

The officials remained silent. This cannot be said to be that Li Guang was wrong. It was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who personally told Li Guang that no matter what the situation, attacking the Huns entrenched in Hexi was the first priority.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Li Guang not to attack Wuwei County. You, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, really can't find anything wrong with them. They didn't do anything wrong. At most, they were just inhumane.

Even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to convict Li Guang, he couldn't find an excuse to frame the emperor for injustice? But it is you, the emperor, who gave the order. You personally told Li Guang this, and the crime of disobeying the emperor's order is even more serious!

What's worse is that after Li Guang made such a decision, Wang Hui's army followed Li Guang and abandoned Wuwei County.

All that was left was Gongsun Ao's 300,000 to 50,000 troops. These were all direct descendants of Wei Qing. If all of them were defeated in a battle, Wei Qing would no longer have any threat to the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty now suspected that this was a conspiracy by Li Guang and Wang Hui against Wei Qing, and they deliberately allowed Wei Qing's troops to be exhausted in Wuwei County!

He was breathing rapidly, his eyes were red and swollen, and he shouted loudly: "Retreat!"

After going down to court, Wei Qing and other important ministers followed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the side hall in a hurry.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stepped to the sand table and asked Wei Qing: "How much Gongsun Ao's troops can be lost here? What if Wuwei is captured?"

Wei Qing said desperately: "Maybe... we will be wiped out!"

Wei Qing's heart was bleeding, but this matter was his nephew Wei Ning's personal decision. He couldn't say anything. Even if it were him, he would choose to stay for the sake of national justice. , for the sake of Paoze, even if you lose everything, you must still maintain your martial prowess, just to... be clear in your heart! Worthy of the nation! Worthy of the people!
