Han Shizu

Chapter 1381 Good News Comes
"I knew it, I knew it!" In the Chuigong Palace, Emperor Liu's loud voice echoed between the beams of the palace, standing in front of the throne, shaking a few memorials in his hand, his joy was beyond words: "Crossing the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood!" The generals who came out, although Mobei is big and dangerous, it is not the place where they died! Yang Ye and Wang Yansheng, both of them are fateful people! But Liu Fang and Liu Min, these two children, should know the danger of the battle now, right? !"

The joy in his heart was fully reflected in the smile on the corner of Emperor Liu's mouth. Zhang Yong waited on him and said: "This is all under the care of His Majesty, so that the soldiers can turn danger into luck and turn danger into safety!"

That's right, after a long wait and relentless sending of people to search, the news from Mobei's expedition to the remnants of the Han army finally reached the ears of Emperor Liu.

Almost at the same time, there were three reports coming from Hexi, respectively from Hexi Wu Desi, the Chief Secretary, and the Commanding Division. They were all urgently reported within six hundred miles. They all report good news to the court.Obviously, even though thousands of miles away, the bureaucrats of the military and political departments at home and abroad have a consensus on the matter of pleasing Emperor Liu.

Emperor Liu browsed briefly, while Zhang Yong narrated to Emperor Liu the main situation he sorted out as usual, including the battle history of the expeditionary army, survival experience, and the current situation of the soldiers.

For their arduous and dangerous journey, Emperor Liu had expected it, so although he was sympathetic, there were not many surprises.However, when I learned that of the [-] Han cavalry, only [-]% survived in the end, I still couldn't help but sigh.

"Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green hills!" Emperor Liu temporarily put down the memorial, and expressed a deep emotion: "It is not easy for the soldiers of the expeditionary army to fight for thousands of miles for the rest of their lives!"

Of course, compared with ordinary soldiers, Emperor Liu undoubtedly cared more about his beloved son and general. He restrained his excitement and asked Zhang Yong directly: "What happened to Yang Ye, the second king, and Liu Fang brothers, and Yang Yanzhao? , all are well!"

Of course Zhang Yong understood what Emperor Liu was thinking, so he quickly gave an affirmative answer: "Although trauma is unavoidable, but he has recuperated and the two His Highnesses are safe and sound. Your Majesty can rest assured. Only the old general Wang Yansheng, who is old and And tired, physically weak!"

"It's fine if it's all right. Send an order to Hexi Wenwu to do a good job of receiving them. They must be taken back to Dahan safely! Afterwards, let Yang Ye and the others return to the capital. I will personally meet them and reward them!" Emperor Liu directly ordered .

Hearing this, Zhang Yong slightly hesitated, and then replied: "Your Majesty, the expeditionary army is located in the south of Jinshan, separated from the Northern Court by a desert. After learning about the situation in the Western Regions, he offered to cooperate with the army of the Western Regions, attack from the north and the south, and wipe out the troops." The rest of the Liao Army. At present, I am afraid that they have already led the troops to the south and raided Beiting City!

In addition, His Royal Highnesses Zhao Gong and Wei Wang have already returned to Hexi, but they are going to Gaochang. They want to participate in the war in the Western Regions and meet the expeditionary soldiers in Luntai and Beiting! "

Emperor Liu frowned immediately. In his opinion, such a move was really unnecessary. He read the report carefully, put it down again, and sighed softly: "Yang Ye and the others still have doubts about this move, and they want to take the blame and make meritorious service. Ah! Why bother, whether it is a triumphant victory or a broken halberd, they are all warriors and heroes of the Han Dynasty. If my praise is not enough, how can they be blamed?"

"If the soldiers know His Majesty's intentions, they should be even more fearless and regretless, and be loyal to the country!" Zhang Yong said.

After a pause, he asked for instructions: "Your Majesty is so thoughtful, do you want to issue an edict to call back the two Highnesses first?"

"No! Call them back now, I'm afraid that these two sons will blame me!" Emperor Liu shook his head and waved his hands, and said softly: "Since they have gone, let's go with them. Let's talk about it after the war in the Western Regions has the result! So I have been waiting for her whereabouts for a long time, so why wait a while longer!"

"Prepare the Northwest, let all Taoists fully support the army of the Western Regions, end the war as soon as possible, and stabilize the situation!" Emperor Liu ordered.

"Yes!" Zhang Yong complied.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Liu said again: "Issuing a document to the Political Affairs Hall, prepare a group of envoys to go west to Gaochang!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yong was slightly surprised. Although he had guessed, he still asked for instructions: "What is Your Majesty's intention?"

Emperor Liu said leisurely: "For more than ten years, the Western Regions have suffered repeated wars. Uighurs, Liaos, Heihans, and the Great Han have fought endlessly. There have been thousands of miles of barren land and no living people. The Great Han has sent tens of thousands of soldiers to fight in expeditions. It's not worth the effort and the little income.

Right now, the enemy of the Han Dynasty is still dominated by the Liao Kingdom, but it is not appropriate to start another conquest, causing troubles.This time, if the rest of the Liao army hadn't been entrenched north of Tianshan Mountain, I might not have ordered an increase in troops.

The Black Khanate, after so many years of tug-of-war, is probably overwhelmed! "

Zhang Yong continued: "Although Hei Khan is known as a great country in the Western Regions, but the country is weak and the people are few, and after more than ten years of fighting eastward, he must be exhausted!"

Emperor Liu said: "Let's release a little goodwill first and send envoys to the west. There is neither feud nor grievance between the two countries. If the two countries can be repaired and communicate with each other, I am willing to stop the war and restore peace to the Western Regions." !"

"Your Majesty has the whole world in mind, and he will stop fighting. If there is peace and peace, it will be of great merit!" Zhang Yongdao: "I think that the Black Khanate will definitely not refuse, and they dare not continue to be hostile to the big man!"

Emperor Liu was completely immune to his compliments, and said affirmatively: "After eight years of opening the treasure, there will be no other wars except for the north and the Han!"

As he said that, Emperor Liu muttered again: "Big man, it's time to close the stall, and walk slowly!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Yong said from the bottom of his heart.

In recent years, the expansion of the Han Empire has been too fast, and there are many insightful people in the court. They can all see that the emperor was in high spirits and never tired of it. Although he warned, the situation was not serious, so he did not dare to dissuade him too much.

And Zhang Yong, thanks to his position, can also see some problems based on the overall situation, and has repeatedly made insinuating advice.However, compared to the dissuasion of the officials, it is more appropriate to start to change course like Emperor Liu with self-awareness.

"By the way, it was Wu Desi who found the expeditionary army!" Emperor Liu suddenly changed the subject.

"Exactly, everyone in Wu Desi Hexi knows Wang Yinwu, he went north to the desert of Hexi three times, went to Jinshan to explore, and finally got something!" Zhang Yong said.

"Who is this, thank you for your hard work!" Emperor Liu smiled.

Wang Yinwu, who is also a figure in the northwest, has no impression on Emperor Liu.Regarding this, Zhang Dejun, who was also waiting in the hall, said: "Officials, this Wang Yinwu is also an officer under Wu Desi, when he sent Lu's army to the west, he was the one who accompanied him, and he returned to the country with meritorious service without returning to his mission! "

"I seem to have some impression!" Emperor Liu nodded, and couldn't help but glance at Zhang Dejun: "You know something about Wu Desi's situation!"

Hearing this, Zhang Dejun smiled sarcastically, and said: "The younger one also sent some people to search for the traces of the soldiers of the expeditionary army, so the people below have made contact!"

Emperor Liu didn't take it seriously, and asked Zhang Yong: "What about Li Chongju, he has been in charge of this matter all along, and now that the results have come out, why don't you come and report in person?"

Zhang Yong cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Li Shijun is ill!"

"Ill?" Emperor Liu raised his eyebrows, and then said playfully: "It seems a coincidence to be sick!"

After pondering for a while, he ordered: "Notify the Supreme Hospital and send someone to his house to cut off his pulse. If he is sick, he must be cured!"

"Yes!" Zhang Yong felt a little nervous when he heard this.

On the other hand, Zhang Dejun's eyes flickered strangely, and the corner of his mouth involuntarily raised a slight arc.

"Yantuo!" Emperor Liu's attention quickly returned to the happy news he received, eager to share it.

"Little is here!"

"Immediately send someone to the Kunning Palace and tell the queen the news that the second prince has been found. She will feel at ease!" Emperor Liu said with joy.

"Yes!"

"No!" Emperor Liu quickly withdrew his order, got up and walked out: "I want to go in person, and then call the concubine Xian, and also, go out of the palace and bring Wei Wang Taifei into the palace."
