Great Wei Nengchen

"Hehe!" Hearing the heroic words yelled by the little Taoist priest, Princess Haiyan laughed like a silver bell, and replied, "Very good! I accept the bride price, and I will betroth Lingling to you!" The shy red-faced maid in green clothes ran away all the way.

'Haiyan'!A name that made Xiao Yi deeply aware of his heart, even after going through a hundred generations of reincarnation, he would never forget, "I will definitely marry you! I will!"

..............................

In Yuyuan, Xuanjia iron cavalry barracks, the neat drills are still going on on time every day, but all the generals have found that their commander Xiao Yi is going out more and more frequently, almost every morning, he walks out of the camp gate facing the morning glow, Shi Fen came back late, and looked lost all day long, as if his soul was seduced away by something.

During this period of time, Xiao Yi traveled all over the mountains and rivers in Beimang Mountain, hoping to see the beautiful woman again, but unfortunately he didn't gain anything other than scaring the wild animals big and small in the mountain and running for their lives. 'Haiyan' just disappeared out of thin air.

The news of the beautiful woman was not obtained, but the order to enter the palace to face the saint unexpectedly came down.

In the past few days, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty suddenly recovered from his dragon body, and specially recruited General Anguo and Shangdang Prefect Zhang Yang to enter the palace to face the saint; His personal soldiers rushed to the post house in Luoyang City, picked up the proud Zhang Taishou, and escorted him all the way to the palace.

In the southern palace of the imperial city, in front of the Suzaku Gate, the imperial guards in the West Garden are guarded at every five steps and every ten steps. Since Emperor Han Ling left the happy West Garden, he has been living in the Deyang Hall of Nangong; according to the Han system, There was no edict ordering anyone not to enter without permission, so Xiao Yi had no choice but to lead his soldiers to stand outside the Zhuque gate, while the eunuch Zhang Yang walked in under the guidance of the eunuchs of the inner court.

While standing outside the palace gate, Xiao Yi carefully observed the terrain around the palace. This is also one of the destinations of his trip. Although the current Luoyang City is peaceful on the surface, it is already turbulent in the dark. The bow is already on the string, the knife is out of the sheath, and a fierce battle may occur at any time; and this palace is the main battlefield that is about to unfold.

So Xiao Yi's trip is called reconnaissance of terrain in military terminology, and "stepping on plates!" in bandit slang, "How wide is the street near Suzaku Gate, where does it connect to, where is the commanding height nearby, which is suitable for cavalry charge, It is also suitable for infantry to ambush, where can archers assassinate the target... All these are within the scope of his consideration... Soon a sketch of the topography of the palace gate was deeply engraved in Xiao Yi's mind.

Just when Xiao Yi started looking at the layout of the palace city, an ox cart came unsteadily in front of Suzaku's gate. The cart was pulled by an old lame yellow ox. Even most of the ox hair had fallen off its body, and its horns were also gone. One of them is missing, and the walking is extremely slow, which is really not at all attractive; although it is an old car, but on the street in front of the palace, no gorgeous chariot dares to pass it. Not only that, the guards on both sides of the royal road where the bullock cart passed all bowed and saluted with extremely humble attitudes. Obviously, the object of their salute was not the broken cart, but the people sitting in the cart.

The car arrived in front of the door, and before it stopped, a young guard from the imperial army trotted up to the front. He first bowed and saluted, then lifted the curtain of the car lightly, and shouted: "The third man of the big man, Mr. Situ!" According to the order, enter the palace to face the saint!"

Before the voice finished speaking, an old man in his 60s came out of the car boldly. This man had gray hair, thick eyebrows and wide mouth, and a long beard floating on his chest. He was wearing a bright red civil official costume with a jade belt around his waist. The majesty was vividly displayed; the one who came was none other than Situ Wangyun, the old man who played chess with Xiao Yi in the 'Tianji Tower' and drank that day!

Wang Yun was born in a family of officials and eunuchs. He began to hold public office at the age of 19. He was the governor of Yuzhou when he was in his prime. Because he failed in the struggle with Zhang Rang, the regular servant of the Central Committee, Wang Yun was forced to go to the government and live in seclusion. After becoming an official, he successively served as Zhonglang and Henan Yin; then he replaced Yang Biao as Situ and Shang Shuling, a rare loyal minister in the court.

Most of the ministers and ministers in the Eastern Han Dynasty liked to use horse-drawn carriages, which were powerful, beautiful, fast and convenient. Only Situ Wangyun liked to ride in an ox cart. He often said: "Although a horse is fast, it can only carry one person. Although the car is slow, it can carry a heavy load!"

Under the service of the small school, Wang Yun was about to step into the palace gate. Suddenly, he saw the team of personal guards standing outside the palace gate. Naturally, he also saw the guard in military uniform standing at the head Xiao Yi, the two looked at each other, but neither of them panicked, as if they had long expected that they would meet like this one day.When acquaintances meet, they have to say hello out of politeness, right? Because Xiao Yi is wearing a military uniform, he beats his chest with his right hand as a military salute; "Xiao Yi, under the command of the prefect of Yanmen, the commander of the Dianjun, has met Mr. Situ!"

"Haha! I haven't seen you for a few months, Xiao Lang, don't come here without any problems!" Wang Yun smiled peacefully and raised his left hand slightly, which is considered a half-repayment. Although it is only a simple half-ceremony, it contains deep meaning. There were only a handful of people who made Lord Situ raise his hand in return, at least it showed that in Wang Yun's heart, Xiao Yi and him were in a certain sense qualified to talk about friendship on an equal footing.

Being able to discuss friendship with Master Situ, Xiao Yi's status in the eyes of everyone suddenly improved. After Wang Yun entered the palace gate, the guards of the Imperial Army at the gate began to speculate about the origin of this young officer, who could make Master Situ so The soldiers of the forbidden army, who were more intelligent, immediately brought tea and served them very hospitablely; those who were late-witted immediately bowed their heads, thinking that they had lost a good opportunity to curry favor with their superiors.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, while drinking tea, Xiao Yi started chatting with the imperial guards on duty at the gate of the palace. Because of his approachable attitude and the intentional flattery of the imperial guards, soon in the intentional or unintentional chat, the imperial guards A series of valuable information such as the number of people, shifts, equipment, etc., were obtained by Xiao Yi; these West Garden Forbidden Army were all composed of good families in Luoyang City, most of them were born in the second generation of the rich, although they looked brightly armored. Yes, but they are all good-looking, good-looking and can't help but fight, Xiao Yi secretly estimated that compared with these elite cavalry, at least one of his black armored cavalry can fight five, or even ten.

While Xiao Yi was secretly assessing the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the two armies, a muscular eunuch of the inner court suddenly ran out from inside, stood at the gate of the palace and shouted: "Following the holy metaphor, Xiao Yi, the 'pointing army Sima' at Xuanyan Gate Pass, entered the palace." See you in the palace!

"Minister, Xiao Yi's decree!" Although he was a little surprised when he heard that the emperor wanted to see him, Xiao Yi did not panic in the slightest. He tidied up his clothes first, and then handed over all the weapons on his body to the guards for safekeeping,' The courtiers of the Han Dynasty were not allowed to bring an inch of soldiers when they met the monarch. Those who disobeyed the order would be beheaded! '

With a little speculation, Xiao Yi followed the eunuch and walked towards the palace; only then did he start to look at the eunuch delivering the decree, and saw that this person was about 30 years old, with a strong figure, although He was an eunuch, but his face had a rare masculinity, his steps were steady and powerful, and he was obviously a person with martial arts skills.

Along the way, Xiao Yi didn't say much, but carefully observed the architectural pattern in the palace and the direction of the road; although it had been a while since he came to Luoyang City, it was the first time he had seen the palace of the Han Dynasty so closely; , the pavilions and palaces are layered upon layers, and the gold bricks and jade tiles are magnificent; the Han family has two north and south palaces, both located in the central area of ​​Luoyang City, the North Palace is in the west of the center, and the South Palace is in the east of the center. Among them, there are five palaces in the South Palace, which are Quefei Hall, Chongde Hall, Zhongde Hall, Qianqiu Longsui Hall and Heping Shuo Hall; there are four gates outside, which are commensurate with the gods of the four directions, that is, the south is Suzaku Gate. , the north is the Xuanwu Gate, the east is the Canglong Gate, and the west is the White Tiger Gate...

After walking through a long corridor, passing through countless gorgeous palaces, and passing through three strict inspections, Xiao Yi was finally brought to an imperial garden.

Hundreds of flowers are in full bloom in the imperial garden in spring, and countless butterflies are dancing in the flowers. The breath of life is extremely strong here; Emperor Han Ling, who has been suffering from a long illness, is now particularly fond of the breath of life; so he specially summoned Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang, here , and recruited Situ Wangyun to discuss matters related to defending against the Huns' invasion.

Although the emperor is the master of the whole country, the emperor is often the one who knows the country the least, because the country they can see is only the written description on the memorials of the courtiers, and the world is abstract to them; In addition to the founding king, how many emperors have really walked out of the magnificent palace to visit and inspect their own people?

So for thousands of years, countless emperors have been fooled by some bureaucratic articles on paper for a lifetime, and a large number of foolish and mediocre monarchs have been refined in this way...

Unexpectedly, Emperor Han Ling, who had been confused all his life, suddenly became wise at the last moment of his life. He wanted to hear the real voice of the empire; thus, at Situ Wangyun's suggestion, he summoned Xiao Yi this time.

84. Chapter 84 Three Strategies for Destroying the Hungarians

In the imperial garden, on the soft sandalwood couch in the middle of the gazebo, Liu Hong, the emaciated emperor of the Han Dynasty, was leaning there. At this time, the most noble golden silk dragon robe in the world could not cover up the aura emanating from his bones. Dead air; although the two eyes seemed to be in good spirits, the sunken cheeks and completely dry body all showed that the emperor was already terminally ill.

A little boy was snuggled up next to Emperor Ling, watching everything around him quietly with a pair of bright eyes. It was the second son of the emperor, Liu Xie. He was only 7 years old this year and he still couldn't really understand his situation. , the majestic backing around him is about to collapse, followed by countless ambitious people attacking the king's throne again and again, and what awaits him is the tragic fate of being manipulated like a puppet for a lifetime!

Beside the most distinguished father and son of the Han Dynasty, Situ Wangyun, who was wearing a red official uniform and a jade belt around his waist, and Zhang Yang, a prefect who was dressed in a black general's court uniform and a rhinoceros belt, stood respectfully. King power was in their hearts The middle is always sacred, just like the sun and the moon exist eternally between the heaven and the earth, if the kingship shakes, then the heaven and the earth will also be destroyed.

Outside the gazebo, there are a large number of courtesans, eunuchs and eunuchs surrounded. These people hold the emperor's personal items in their hands and are waiting for the master's summons at any time. In their eyes, the emperor is everything, but in the eyes of the emperor, they are not human beings, but Like the copper basins, towels, umbrella covers, etc. in their hands, they are utensils!People are supposed to be born equal, but rights classify them!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chen Qianshuo has brought you here." The vigorous eunuch who led the way came to Emperor Ling of Han, and after paying homage, he stood aside.

"It turns out that he is Qian Shuo!" Xiao Yi finally knew who was leading the way for him; Jian Shuo - one of the "Ten Attendants", the number one confidant eunuch of the Han Ling Emperor, famous for his strength and martial arts skills, The current Xiyuan Forbidden Army'Shangjun Lieutenant' is in charge of the Forbidden Army and holds military power.

"Minister, Yanmen Pass, Xuanjia Cavalry Army'Dianjun Sima'-Xiao Yi, kowtow to my emperor, long live! Long live! Long live!" Lowering his head, Xiao Yi began to pay respects, and there was no way anyone could call him the emperor. Well, since time travelling, what Xiao Yi hates the most is kowtowing to others, but since the other party is about to 'ascend to heaven and become a god', let's treat it as kowtowing to the dead in advance!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi's mood improved a bit, and at the same time, he secretly made up his mind that one day, sooner or later, he would stand between the sky and the earth with his head held high and not kneel down to anyone.

"Excuse me, raise your head!" A voice, though graceful and elegant, was obviously out of breath.

"promise!……"

The four eyes met, and the eyes of both of them were bright.

"This is Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty!" Xiao Yi was excited because he saw the emperor for the first time. Surrounded by death energy, his body was already exhausted; it seemed that the rumors that the emperor had just recovered from a serious illness were false. Another word to describe the state of Han Lingdi at this time would be more appropriate---return to light!

"He is eight feet tall, with the body of a tiger and the arms of an ape. He is handsome and delicate. Although his small face is a little darker, he looks healthier and stronger. His whole body is full of energy, and his whole body is full of vitality." Emperor Ling of Han was delighted that Xiao The powerful breath of life in Yi's body, looking at such a sturdy young man in front of him, seemed to bring a bit of vitality to his withered body, "I really hope that the one with such a physique is myself!"

"Who is Qing Zu?" Han Lingdi asked, leaning on the soft couch, his spirit seemed to improve a lot, and his voice became louder.

"Weichen is the No. 30 eighth great-great-great-grandson of the founding prime minister Wen Zhonghou Xiao He of the Great Han Dynasty!" Although Xiao Yi's voice was respectful and soft, it contained the sound of gold and stone, and the low-pitched reply clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Even after the founding fathers, there must be high opinions. Now that people are worrying about the border, I come to ask you, how can I, a big man, defeat the Xiongnu and wipe out Mobei?" Obviously Han Lingdi was very satisfied with Xiao Yi's background. The upper echelons of society are more concerned about ancestors and blood.

The question of 'defeating the Xiongnu and sweeping away Mobei' has been discussed by countless people within the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. Raise troops and horses, send troops out of the Great Wall, and horses trample on the Huns! ...'

Situ Wangyun, the prefect Zhang Yang and others beside him all thought that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had deliberately released the water. As long as Xiao Yi answered in a normal manner and flattered the emperor with a few words, the rewards were inevitable, and it was easy to get promoted!

Even the eunuchs serving the emperor showed a look of envy. They did not expect that this young man who entered the palace for the first time would be so lucky;

It's a pity that they often forget that the same slight movement of that mouth can also make your body decapitated and the nine clans all wiped out. Since ancient times, being with you is like being with a tiger!

"Return to Your Majesty, I thought that the Huns could not be eradicated!" Xiao Yi's unexpected answer stunned everyone, and Zhang Yang, who was standing beside him, even wanted to run over and slap Xiao Yi a few times to see if he was okay. Wake up, talking nonsense!

"Oh! Why?" Maybe it was because he had heard too much flattery in his life, but today he wanted to hear the truth, instead of being angry, Han Lingdi was aroused.

"May I ask Your Majesty and your lords, the hero of my great Han Dynasty is no better than Emperor Wu, and the most skilled generals are Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. With this, there is one emperor through the ages, unparalleled good generals, and the "Government of Wen Jing" for decades Based on the solid wealth foundation accumulated by the army, and the manpower and material resources of the whole country, in more than 14 years, a total of [-] troops have been sent out of the Great Wall, but have they ever swept away Mobei and completely wiped out the Xiongnu?" Xiao Yi's question is very direct, and at the same time Everyone was in deep thought.

"The Huns live by water and grass, without fixed cities, boundless deserts and vast seas, and vast grasslands outside the Great Wall. Their homes are everywhere. Therefore, although it is easy for the Han expeditionary army to defeat them, it is necessary to completely eliminate these erratic nomads. The tribe is almost impossible, the strategic space of the Huns is too broad...

However, the cost for our Han people to launch wars is too high. In the decisive battle in Mobei launched by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the two cavalry regiments Wei Qing and Huo Qubing dispatched a total of 10 people. In order to provide military supplies for these two expeditionary troops, the country requisitioned 10 cattle were responsible for transportation, and another 50 infantry were dispatched to carry people on their shoulders. With five people protecting one person, the battle was barely over.

The ending is that the Han army won a disastrous victory. Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Han army died in the battle. There were only 18 horses left when they went out. The high cost of war makes it impossible for us to fight with large armies on the grassland for a long time. As soon as the army retreats, the Huns will be like weeds. When the spring breeze blows, they will immediately come back to life! "

When it comes to national affairs, no one knows better than Situ Wangyun. A clear narration clearly explains why the Han Dynasty has been unable to eradicate the Huns for 400 years.

"Since that's the case, can't I, a big man, be unable to end the suffering of border troubles?" Han Lingdi said in a low voice, as if he was asking the ministers around him?It seems to be asking himself? Or maybe he is interrogating the past emperors of the Han Dynasty?

This problem has plagued the Han Dynasty for 400 years. In terms of historical limitations, no one can really solve this problem in this era, but God's will allows a person to transcend history.

"I have three strategies that may really restrain the Huns!" The answer was still Xiao Yi. It is impossible to completely eliminate the nomads, but there is still a way to restrain them.As a staunch nationalist, Xiao Yi is still willing to contribute all his wisdom for this country and this nation.

"Speak quickly!"
