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

Chapter 285 Lost Li Guang

In the past two days, both the officialdom and the market in Chang'an have been discussing privately about the third wife of the Wei family.

After Wei Pingjun was enfeoffed, the specifications of Wei Pingjun's tomb rose to a higher level again. Zongzheng Da Nong was busy building the tomb of Wei Pingjun.

After Wei Zifu was conferred the title of Empress of the Han Dynasty, the ceremony officials held a ceremony on the two days to confirm Wei Zifu's orthodox status as the Empress of the Han Dynasty.

Chen Ajiao was completely lonely, and a generation of queen Wei Zifu stepped onto the stage of history.

These were unique major events in the entire history of the Han Dynasty, but the officials did not care about them.

Their focus is undoubtedly on the issue of establishing a crown prince.

They had repeatedly prayed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to establish the foundation of the country, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ignored them. At this moment, everyone realized that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had been paving the way for Weining.

No wonder the officials always felt that the relationship between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Weining was unusual. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had hinted at it countless times in order to plan this matter. Now that he said it again, the officials were only shocked, but not too surprised. Everything seemed to make sense.

When Weining returns from Hexi, I am afraid that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will announce in front of hundreds of officials and people all over the world that Weining will be crown prince of the Han Dynasty and his surname will be changed to Liu.

In the past few days, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had asked Da Zongzhengqing to change Wei Ning's ancestral home and add Liu Ning's name to the royal family tree.

Wei Qing originally wanted to send a letter to Wuwei and tell Wei Ning everything that had happened in Chang'an in the past few days, but then he thought about it and gave up.

Wait until Wei Ning comes back and let Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty speak to him personally.

This was an agreement between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Ning. Wei Ning and Wei Qing had said these things before.

After Wei Zifu was enthroned as queen, Chen Ajiao couldn't say that she was too sad. Sooner or later, she already knew that such a day would come, and there was nothing more sad than heartbreak.

She had been with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for so long, always replacing old ones with new ones. She knew that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was such a heartless person.

Liu Huan couldn't hide the anger in his heart. Even though he, like Chen Ajiao, had known this result for a long time, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made all this public, he was still angry, angry and sad in his heart.

He Wei Ning is your son, am I not? Don’t I spend more time with you, my father, and be filial to you than he does?

You have only been with him for two years, what about me? I have served you and been filial to you for more than ten years, but I can't compare to the relationship you and him have had over the past two years?

Liu Huan began to encourage Chen Ajiao again, saying that he wanted his mother to give up everything and follow him to the Shandong fiefdom in a few days, but he was unwilling to do so.

He naturally hopes that Chen Ajiao will quickly kill Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. No matter what method is used, as long as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is dead, he will find a way to get rid of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. There will be more people supporting you, and in this way, you can ensure that you will successfully ascend the throne!

As long as my father dies, everything impossible will become possible!

But at the same time, Liu Huan had to distance himself from all this, and he also had to guard against the disastrous consequences of Chen Ajiao's failure.

……

Far away in Wuwei County, Weining naturally didn't know that Chang'an had undergone tremendous changes. The lack of news made Weining unable to know the news from Chang'an.

He only received a commendation from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, saying that he had made merit in making black gunpowder. There was no special reward, just a verbal commendation.

In addition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also asked Weining to stay in Wuwei County temporarily and organize all the aftermath affairs in Wuwei County.

This coincides with Weining's plan.

After the Huns occupied Wuwei County, they massacred nearly 10,000 people and committed countless crimes.

Weining established a temporary local government office and selected a group of surviving subordinate officials to temporarily maintain order in Wuwei County and prevent the place from becoming leaderless after the war. At the same time, after leaving Yumen Pass, Li Guang's main force engaged in a land frontal confrontation with the Xiongnu Yizhixie Chanyu's main force in the desert.

Although the Huns had obtained a batch of iron weapons from the Han Dynasty, they were still at a disadvantage when faced with the suppression of steel sword weapons.

The cavalry mobility that the Huns were proud of also lost any advantage under the iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worked hard for two years and conducted rigorous training on the Han cavalry. At this time, the overall quality and immediate combat effectiveness of the Han soldiers were much higher than those of the Huns.

The situation in which the enemy was strong and we were weak was completely reversed, and the Huns' advantage was lost. In short, I have what you have, and I have what you don't have.

After the main force of Yi Zhixie Chanyu was defeated, they began to flee in all directions, forming a guerrilla war against the Han Dynasty.

The offensive and defensive positions changed, the situation changed, and a cat-and-mouse situation unfolded. Li Guang led a large army into the vast desert and began to pursue the Huns.

Several lieutenants had persuaded Li Guang not to underestimate the enemy by rushing in, but this victory completely changed Li Guang's mentality.

Li Guang's life-long regret is that he was not granted the title of marquis. It was rare that he won such a big victory in the northwest this time. Compared with Wei Qing, this meritorious service is worth giving up. As long as he captures Yi Zhixie Shanyu, his meritorious service is enough to surpass Wei Qing. , at that time Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could not grant him a title of marquis?

In such an excited mood, Li Guang began to make military misjudgments. He did not listen to the persuasion of the deputy general and led the army into the vast desert.

According to Li Guang's expectation, they would quickly capture the Xiongnu Yizhixie Chanyu, and then he would return to Chang'an with the head of Yizhixie Chanyu to be admired by thousands of people!

But the idea was beautiful, until this night, Li Guang's excited and enthusiastic heart completely calmed down.

He discovered a fatal problem and he was lost.

His large army was lost in the desert!

He even lost contact with the baggage troops at the rear. Not to mention chasing Yi Zhixie Shanyu, he could not even be seen now.

The supplies brought by the army are almost exhausted, and there are no supplies in the rear. At this time, let alone chasing Yi Zhixie Shanyu, he must first ensure the food problem of this large army!

At this time, Li Guang finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

Li Gan came to Li Guang tiredly and said, "Dad, stop chasing. The soldiers are all hungry. Let's set up camp tonight and let the soldiers have a good meal."

He noticed that something was wrong with his father's expression, and his expression was extremely solemn. Li Gan couldn't help but asked suspiciously: "Dad, what's wrong?"

Li Guang was silent for a long time and then said: "The food is almost gone."

Li Gan said: "Then don't chase Yizhixie Chanyu for the time being, and wait until the supply and supplies are replenished at the rear."

Li Guang took a deep look at Li Gan, shook his head and said, "The communication cavalry lost contact one day ago."

Li Gan: "Huh?"

It stands to reason that as long as the communication cavalry loses contact, the army should not go deep. The most appropriate way is to turn back and reestablish contact with the rear baggage.

But Li Guang was so stunned by his achievements that he insisted on marching for another day.
