Straight man of steel

Chapter 407

the following afternoon.

Li Guang, Li Xi and the master father Yan led less than 10 horses to Gaoque.

There was no joy on everyone's face, which was very different from yesterday's scene of welcoming Wei Qing.

Zhang Yuan rode up to Li Guang and stared at Li Guang with his eyes.

"General Ranger, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing?
I would like to ask the cavalry general, why did my Taixue student suffer so brutally under your command? "

Li Guang didn't dare to look directly into Zhang Yuan's eyes. After doing this, he regretted it to death.

However, here Li Guang has the deepest qualifications, and his military position is only under Wei Qing. Although he regrets it, it does not mean that he is afraid of Zhang Yuan.

"The Ranger General doesn't have the right to ask about my affairs, does he?

You have to be clear that those people are no longer your students, they are my subordinates, Li Guang. "

Zhang Yuan sneered, and directly drew out the long sword at his waist to face Li Guang.

"I am a teacher, leading them to the north is not to let them die tragically at the hands of my own people.

Li Guang, you are not worthy of being a general of the Han Dynasty, or even a man of the Han Dynasty.

Humiliated my disciples, killed them for no reason, and now more than a dozen people are missing.

I, Zhang Yuan, swear here today that I will live forever with you, Longxi Li, because of personal grievances! "

There was more than one person whose expression changed on the spot. If one could count the number of officers with the surname of Li who were above the corporal commander in each army, everyone would know what Zhang Yuan's oath here today represented.

"Teacher can't!"

Yan Yi immediately yelled, and then Wang Qing yelled too.

Immediately afterwards, those students who were originally Taixue stood up one by one.

The Pingyang Hou Cao family is the number one noble in the Han Dynasty, and the first family in the Han army is the Li family.

No one can change the fact that Liu Che abolished the Li family in Longxi, and in the end there are still people with the surname Li all over the world.

"I am the teacher of the world, even if there is no justice in this world.

I still have a pen in my hand, and I will definitely express the narrow-mindedness of the Li family in Longxi with words.

The incompetent people have wasted my big man's supplies in vain, not to mention their futile efforts, and even killed tens of thousands of people.

Such a general is a disgrace to a big man, you just need to stand behind me.

Don't be afraid of him, Li Guang! "

Zhang Yuan has been holding back for quite a long time. Ever since he learned from Ba Rao that two Taixue students were killed by Li Guang, he wanted to eliminate this piece of trash, Li Guang.

Moreover, the matter had to be brought to the fore. The Li family had too much influence in the army, and Zhang Yuan was also worried that they would entrap him.

But if it is placed on the table, those who hide in the dark will have to weigh it, and Liu Che will also give Zhang Yuan a relatively fair environment.

"Teacher and us, Li Guang is too deceitful!"

Li Guang didn't expect Zhang Yuan to swear an oath here, but he was also angry.

"Do you think your current status can threaten me like this?"

Zhang Yuan pointed his sword at Li Guang, and Li Guang also drew out his long sword and pointed it at Zhang Yuan.

But unlike Zhang Yuan, after Li Guang drew out his sword, at least nearly ten thousand soldiers raised their weapons to face Zhang Yuan.

This is the prestige brought by a famous general who has been in the army for decades. It is an advantage but also a dagger to entrap himself.

"Hahahahaha, Li Guang, you are finished!"

Zhang Yuan couldn't help laughing wildly on the spot, and then took the sword back.

There was also a person surnamed Li present, that person was Li Xi, but he belonged to the Li family in the North, and was a branch of the Li family in Longxi earlier, but now it has become independent.

Although he intended to help Li Guang, he couldn't stand Li Guang's personality.

Li Xi has been working under Li Guang since he joined the army when he was young, and the two of them have not established any comrade-in-arms friendship.

"You all want to rebel?
Hurry up and take back all the weapons! "

It was rare for Wei Qing to get angry, he didn't expect Zhang Yuan to cause such a commotion in the end.

If this is really an internal fight, Wei Qing's scalp tingles when he thinks about it.

From just now, Wei Qing added a label to Zhang Yuan, that is, a lunatic.

Since the beginning, the relationship between Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan has cracked.

In Wei Qing's heart, the big man is the first, Liu Che is the second, and the family is the third. As for Zhang Yuan, it is not bad to be ranked fourth and fifth.

But if he can't control it now, it will definitely endanger the big man.

He knew it was Li Guang's fault, but he couldn't accept that Zhang Yuan was so ignorant.

Li Guang also knew what Zhang Yuan was laughing at, and he himself turned pale and sneered.

"Alright Zhang Yuan, I lost.

But the Li family in Longxi hasn't lost yet, and I still have a son.

what do you have? "

"I don't have anything, but do you think your sons can become great?"

No matter how much these emperors of the Great Han used the Li family in Longxi, all they got in return was disappointment.

Of course there is the emperor's reason for this, but isn't it still your Longxi Li family who is unlucky?

Facing a family that is going downhill, why should Zhang Yuan be afraid.

"Okay, just wait and see.

The time is still long, the days are still long! "

"Don't, you can't make it through this moment, believe it or not?"

Zhang Yuan immediately turned around and bowed to Wei Qing.

"The former general, the cavalry general, took advantage of his power to kill a military commander and a military commander Shi for no reason, and because of his own decision-making mistakes, he lost [-] slave troops, [-] troops, and lost countless supplies and food.

Hunxie King and Xiutu King of the Huns have not yet appeared, and the whereabouts of Da Shanyu's military officials are also unknown. He also asked the former general to deprive the cavalry general Li Guang of his military power and escort him to Chang'an City for interrogation! "

Forcing the palace, Zhang Yuan is forcing the palace.

But Zhang Yuan is also helping Wei Qing, this is an opportunity to completely get rid of the burden of Li Guang.

But Wei Qing will never understand this matter, Zhang Yuan can't say that Li Guang is a fool, and he can't even say that the Longxi Li family will collide with the Wei family sooner or later.

Zhang Yuan could only endure all this silently.

Wei Qing didn't want to do such a thing now. If no one mentions the military law, it means that there is no such thing. But if someone brings it up, it is impossible not to see him.

"Take away the cavalry general's seal and ribbon and escort him back to Chang'an to await your Majesty's disposal.

The original cavalry general's soldiers were led by the light chariot general Li Xi. "

Those soldiers who raised their weapons just now, although Wei Qing didn't say anything, they also knew what they should do.

All of them withdrew their weapons. After Wei Qing made his decision, they held up their weapons to strengthen Li Guang, which would be a real rebellion.

"Zhang Yuan, you are ruthless!"

Li Guang yelled at Zhang Yuan when he was about to be captured.

"It's not that I'm cruel enough, but that you don't have awe in your heart.

You are not in awe of this world, you are not in awe of your enemies, you are not in awe of Your Majesty, and you are not in awe of the people around you.

Your so-called kindness to soldiers is all hypocrisy, selfishness, and incompetence.

Now I just tore off your mask in front of everyone, I hope you can always hate me. "

After Li Guang was taken away, there was a person who kept hiding from Zhang Yuan, and that person was Zhu Fuyan.

He used to think that Zhang Yuan was cruel enough to deal with him and Ji Fu, but now comparing Li Guang's fate, Zhu Fuyan felt that he was really lucky to be alive.

All the words Zhang Yuan said would reach Liu Che's ears, and in his words, there was a sentence that Li Guang didn't respect Liu Che.

Once this sentence planted a seed in Liu Che's heart, Li Guang would definitely be finished.

After setting up the army, Wei Qing called Zhang Yuan to his big tent.

Now he really wants to take out Zhang Yuan's heart to see if it is red or black.

"Brother Yuan, why did you do that?"

Seeing Wei Qing like this, Zhang Yuan knew that he couldn't accept Zhang Yuan's behavior in his heart.

"For revenge, I brought those children to northern Xinjiang to make them contribute to the great man, not to die at the hands of my own people."

"But you don't have to bring it up now. After returning to Chang'an, you can play Li Guang to His Majesty, and I will help you."

"It will be too late by then, and I will not be as important to His Majesty at that time as I am now.

Now His Majesty still needs me to stabilize the situation in northern Xinjiang, so I will not let Li Guang go.

After we return to Chang'an, with the momentum of a great victory, maybe our military exploits will be distributed to Li Guang.

When the time comes, he will pay for his crime with merit, what should I do? "

"Brother Yuan, haven't you always paid less attention to the students of Taixue?"

"Entering the Taixue is my disciple, is it useful for me to pay attention to them in Du County?

There are some things you don't know, young brother. Before these students left, His Majesty asked Zhang Tang to feed poison to each of them.

Including Yan Yi and Wang Qing, and I feel guilty towards them about this matter.

They may have been disappointed with the big man once, and they will be disappointed a second time before they die.

Li Guang had better wish that the other seventeen students sent by him would not be in danger, otherwise none of his sons would survive. "

"Your Majesty really fed poison to those students?"

"Well, I brought it up, I meant to pretend to feed them poison.

Let them not be captured by the Huns and reveal the map, but you know it, Your Majesty.

That didn't make him feel at ease, so he sent Zhang Tang to feed everyone the chronic poison.

You said I saw Li Guang, how could I react? "

Zhang Yuan felt that he could only persuade Wei Qing in this way, but he couldn't say the real reason.

"It turns out to be like this, but if there is a next time, I still hope that Brother Yuan can think about it carefully.

You not only brought down Li Guang today, you also cut off the future of nearly ten thousand soldiers and officers. "

"Those people are all Li Guang's people. In the future, if you take a step forward and control the military power of the whole country, those people will play tricks on you."

"Brother Yuan, don't make such jokes. I am already very satisfied to be able to be like this today."

"Don't underestimate yourself, you will be better with more confidence."

Both of them understood that today's conversation did not really mend the rift.

But the two are not Lang Guan who guarded Weiyang Palace with a halberd.

After another three days of delay in Gaoque, the army began to head north. This time, it was going to be stationed directly in Touman City, and then wait for the order from Chang'an City.

It was up to Liu Che to decide whether to stay here and build a city or withdraw his troops.

This wait is half a month.

The first order in Liu Che's imperial edict was to demote Li Guang Duojue to a commoner.

It was the same as what Zhang Yuan thought. Now that Zhang Yuan was still useful to Liu Che, he would punish Li Guang.

Liu Che listened to the suggestion of building a surrender city and established a new Shuofang County. A large area of ​​Jiuyuan County in the Qin Dynasty was allocated to Xihe County and Xihe County.

In fact, the territory of Henan was divided equally between Xihe County and Shangshang County, and the remaining part was set up as Wuyuan County.

Restoring Yunzhong County and Dingxiang County.

Feng Zhufu Yan was the sheriff of Wuyuan County, and presided over the construction of the surrendered city.

The remaining infantry were dispersed among these counties, and another 10 people migrated to live in the four counties of Beidi.

He ordered Su Jian to lead [-] civilians to stay in Gaoque to build Shuofang City and a new city, the Surrendered City, and to repair the abandoned Qin Great Wall in Yinshan.

This is how the tone of things south of Yinshan Mountain is basically set.

The remaining more than 4 cavalry and other generals went directly south to Chang'an City.

It wasn't until this time that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The big man's front line against the Huns has advanced hundreds of miles at once, and it is the second time that he has formally stepped into the territory north of Yinshan Mountain.

The first time was done by Meng Tian during the Qin Dynasty.

The way back always felt very long. Zhang Yuan and the others still needed to bring the prisoners of war and the extra cattle and horses back to Chang'an.

Stopping and stopping along the way, Yan Yi and Wang Qing were busy writing down their experience on paper so that they could give Sima Qian an explanation.

In fact, it took less than a month from the beginning to the end of this war.

Zhang Yuan has been in the desert for more than half a year.

There are also those students of Taixue, they are the ones who have experienced and felt the most.

The mood is also much more complicated than others, as for the rest of the hearts are full of joy.

They may be back, and the next thing to do is to wait for everyone's cheers.

When the army was about to enter the boundary of the inner history, Chang'an City sent Taichang officials, bringing various ritual items.

A grand welcome ceremony has been prepared for Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan inside and outside Chang'an City.

This ceremony was bigger than the last time when Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing attacked Dragon City.

General Liu Che will not meet with Wei Qing and other generals on the wall of Weiyang Palace.

Instead, he would go out of the city in person, and slowly walk into Chang'an City holding Wei Qing's hand.

Yu Dan, these powerful Xiongnu captives, also had to be washed and put on clean and beautiful Hun costumes.

This time Liu Che allowed generals with more than [-] shi to enter the palace to receive the reward.

Such an honor has not appeared since Gaozu.

"Teacher, are you excited?"

Neither Yan Yi nor Wang Qing had ever met Liu Che. This time they could see Liu Che, and even Liu Che might talk to them. They were so happy that they couldn't sleep.

"Fortunately, it's just that the reward was not disclosed, which makes me a little uneasy."

"Don't worry, teacher, even if you are the first one this time, you won't surprise people."

Ordinary soldiers and military merit books record how many heads they have gained, but Zhang Yuan, Wei Qing and the others need Liu Che to measure it himself.

It stands to reason that Zhang Yuan led the army to resist the 20 army led by the Xiongnu Dashan Yujun, and also slaughtered a Hun tribe of [-] people, and captured the Xiongnu prince Yudan alive.

Followed by Wei Qing and Gongsun He, they wiped out the tribes of King Baiyang and King Loufan respectively, and captured a lot of nobles from the Huns.

But the regret is that the Aries King and the Lou Fan King are dead.

The value difference between the living and the dead is quite large.

In addition, Wei Qing is the coach of this expedition, and Zhang Yuan's combat achievements will be distributed to Wei Qing, which cannot be ignored.

So Zhang Yuan felt that if he could be named a Marquis, he would only need to seal up a household with a few hundred dollars, and he would spend his money at home in the future.
