Long live the general

After he finished speaking, he stared at Huo Yi closely. It was completely? not? the same as losing the position of Da Sima from the Taizhong doctor to the common people. He expected Huo Yi to be as furious as he was.

But Huo Yi's expression was very calm, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Doctor Gao, for your concern."

Gao Gongzhi looked at him, and found that Huo Yi looked more free and easy than before... Although the clothes on his body were simple and shabby, the depression and tiredness on his body completely disappeared.

Did Gao Gongzhi's heart collapse? Already, his face was distorted: "Don't put on an air... sooner or later, you will be like me!"

Huo Yi: "Same as you?"

The people around looked at Gao Gongzhi with disdain and questioning words, Gao Gongzhi finally collapsed, his complexion turned from green to white, from red to black, and he left the tea stand.

Dr. Tea shouted from behind: "You still haven't paid for the tea...!"

Huo Yi smiled, and said to Dr. Tea, "I'll give him the money for the tea."

Those two young people listened to what they said? It made more sense, and they really wanted to come over and make friends. Who knew that Huo Yi gave him tea money, so they left with Tingchen Daoist.

Taoist Tingchen? Walking on the road, he sighed: "It's a loss, I gave you an extra tea money, and I haven't had a few sips of my cup yet."

"You have to splash him with tea." Huo Yi said with a smile: "You still hold me? Don't allow me to move."

"That's not it? It's just the right time!" Taoist Tingchen shook his head and said seriously: "I know you, and if you don't get angry again, what will you do? Let's wait for you to debate No matter how aggressive it is, the timing will not be right."

Huo Yi didn't expect him to think so much in the blink of an eye, he was silent for a while, and said: "There will always be people like this whenever and wherever."

Even if he wins the debate this time, it won't change anything.

"But I feel good about scolding." Taoist Tingchen said: "Actually, there are only a few people who have that kind of thinking. But they? If they have a loud voice, they will appear to be a large number of people. Then Of course I want to be louder than him."

Master Tingchen patted Huo Yi on the shoulder: "As long as our voices are louder, one day they will know that they are outnumbered and outnumbered."

Huo Yi said seriously: "Then I will try next time."

Daoist Listening Chen heheed in surprise: "Yes? Yes? I heard that they? That group of people are now gathering in the south. Shall we? Go to the south to find them? Trouble?"

"...That's not it? As for." Huo Yi said: "I'm a little worried about Xiaoyue now."

"Aren't you? Have you been communicating with? Her in letters? I remember she wrote back last time and said that everything is fine."

Although everything in Huo Lingyue's letter went well, Huo Yi still couldn't let it go. No one understood the danger on the battlefield better than him.

Listen to Daoist Chen? Said: "Since you are worried about her, go and see for yourself."

Huo Yi said hesitantly: "But if we go to the southwest now, we won't be able to see her."

"I didn't mean Southwest." Taoist Tingchen said flatly, "I meant Chang'an."

Huo Yi stopped.

The southwest border of Dai Viet has a completely different climate from the north. There are large tracts of forests, and the roads are intricate. There are countless bugs and dangerous obstacles that have never been seen before.

In the mysterious southwest border forest, the soldiers of Dai Viet are fighting with the barbarians. The horses in the forest can’t run? They can only dismount and fight. Moreover, the climate here is humid, and there is thick water vapor between breaths, which makes people feel suffocated. .The soldiers of Dai Viet were accustomed to the dry climate in the north. When they came to this forest, many of them lost their combat effectiveness due to acclimatization.

The ground is covered with thick moss and tangled vines. The barbarians who have lived here for a long time are obviously more adapted to this environment. They have their upper bodies covered and their skins are painted with strange patterns. There is a woman riding On the white elephant, chanting words and ringing a bell in his hand, a group of poisonous snakes emerged from the forest and rushed towards the Dai Viet army.

The southwest barbarians really have extraordinary means.

Huo Lingyue immediately released a torch, placed it on the wet grass, and smoked a large amount of smoke, causing all the poisonous snakes to recede.

Or is Brother Menghe smart?Huo Lingyue sighed inwardly. This was the idea Chen Menghe gave her before she came to the southwest border.

The barbarian woman raised her eyebrows and accelerated the speed of playing the flute. The sharp sound of the flute was mixed in the dense fog, making people feel uncomfortable all over.The poisonous snakes became even more excited when they heard this, and rushed towards them with smoke. The soldiers of Dai Viet fought against the barbarians while driving away the poisonous snakes.Huo Lingyue took out the arrow behind her back, put it lightly on the bow, and then pulled the bow like a full moon. The arrow accurately shuttled through the forest, crossed many obstacles, and hit the barbarian woman's heart.

The barbarian woman fell from the elephant's back, and the elephant was uncontrolled, and immediately frightened by the situation on the battlefield, it ran amok behind the barbarian.

The barbarian leader roared, didn't he know what to say, and then rushed towards Huo Lingyue.

Huo Lingyue shot another arrow, but was blocked by the barbarian leader with a hammer.That barbarian leader is about nine feet long, with muscles all over his body, he looks like a living bunker.He is also bare-chested, painted with intricate and brilliant stripes, wearing gorgeous feathers on his head, and holding a sledgehammer in both hands.The sledgehammer danced like a tiger, and Huo Lingyue blocked it with the ring-shou knife, and his hands were numb from the shock, the barbarian leader was too powerful.

While the barbarian leader was attacking, he uttered strange syllables, and the surrounding barbarian soldiers became more brave following his shouts.Huo Lingyue completely? Can't you hear? Understand what he is shouting. The barbarian language is more complicated than the Xiongnu language. After a few tricks, the two are trying their best to kill each other.This barbarian leader is extremely powerful, and the heavy hammer in his hand is even more powerful. Several pieces of Huo Lingyue's armor were smashed into it.

The barbarian leader grinned and said something to Huo Lingyue. Although Huo Lingyue couldn't understand it, he could guess what it was in "Go to hell".

Her eyes sank, and she held the ring head knife in her right hand, and pressed down on the barbarian leader vigorously. The barbarian blocked it, and stuck the ring head knife with a sledgehammer so that she couldn't move it. Just as she was about to laugh, Huo Lingyue had disappeared In front of him, jump behind the barbarian leader?.The barbarian leader turned his head in panic, and the last thing he saw was a short knife, as beautiful as it was covered with stars.

Huo Lingyue stabbed the barbarian leader's heart from behind with a broken dream. After the barbarian leader died, the barbarian soldiers fled. Huo Lingyue didn't chase because Li Feng's ambush was in front of him.

She and Li Feng have fought side by side for so long, and they already trust each other very much. Huo Lingyue took off the helmet, and a bug fell out of the helmet. She picked up the bug with a short knife expressionlessly, and cursed a word .

The battle of the barbarians in the Southwest was finally over after the death of the barbarian leader. Li Feng intercepted the fleeing barbarian soldiers and surrendered them. Huo Lingyue and Li Feng returned to the territory of Dayue, temporarily The army is stationed in Wujun.

This battle was more difficult than Huo Lingyue had imagined. Many soldiers of Dai Viet could not adapt to the climate and environment here, and fell ill as soon as they arrived, dehydrated, vomited and collapsed.Moreover, fighting in the forest is completely different from the desert. The roads here are also intricate, and it is easy to lose your way. The ubiquitous miasma and silent poisonous insects are frightening.After the battle, there were still a large number of people infected. After all, it was urgent.

Li Feng pushed open the door, and Huo Lingyue was sitting in front of the desk, next to a doctor? He was applying medicine to her.

Huo Lingyue was sitting in a daze, and there was a letter in front of her.

Li Feng coughed, Huo Lingyue came back to his senses, and asked, "Is it done?"

"En." Li Feng responded, looking at the red and swollen marks on Huo Lingyue's arms, and asked worriedly, "How are you?"

"Just deal with it." Huo Lingyue had already taken off her armor at this time, and blood oozes from her back. When she was fighting with the barbarian leader, the shattered armor fragments stuck into her skin. Huo Lingyue was I didn't feel it, but I found out later that the problem was serious.The doctor took out the fragments for her, treated the wound, and applied medicine on the marks of poisonous insect bites on her body.

The doctor said: "There are minor injuries on the back. In our place, the most careful thing is poisonous insects. Some insects are fatal."

This doctor is a native of Southwest Frontier County, and was specially recruited by the county guard.He glanced at Li Feng, feeling quite strange in his heart. Logically speaking, Li Feng is equal to Huo Lingyue now, but it seems that Li Feng is listening to Huo Lingyue in many things.

In fact, this has been the case since Taixue, Huo Lingyue has never been taught to be a follower, she has always been dominant.

The doctor gave some more instructions and left.

"After this battle is over, the surrounding area of ​​Da Viet should calm down." Huo Lingyue said, "North, west, southeast and...southwest... There are almost no forces that can raise troops to invade the border again."

The map of Dai Viet clearly appeared in her mind. Over the years, starting from the original scope, the territory has been continuously expanded. Today's Dai Viet is completely different from ten years ago.

Li Fengdao: "That's right, the small countries around Dayue have expressed their surrender and are willing to make regular offerings every year."

The expression on Huo Lingyue's face relaxed. She still had wet and sticky green ointment on her arms at this moment, and she couldn't put down her sleeves, revealing her well-proportioned arms.She turned her neck, raised her hand with difficulty, and then said to Li Feng: "I feel a little itchy on the back of my neck. Please help me apply the medicine. The doctor left the medicine just now."

Li Feng stepped forward and knelt down behind her.Huo Lingyue didn't wear armor or a helmet, and her black hair was loose. She wouldn't obscure her female identity in the army.Li Feng stretched out his hand to brush away her long hair, revealing her slender, fair neck. There was indeed a large red mark on the back, and a raised blue spot in the center.

Li Feng was taken aback: "What's going on?"

"Bugs." Huo Lingyue sighed. What she hates most in the southwest is all kinds of bugs that penetrate through every hole. They will be tortured to death by these little things: "Don't you? You know, When I was fighting with that barbarian leader, a bug got into the helmet and bit me, it was itchy and painful, and I wasn't? able to distract myself..."

She never wants to be here again in her life.

Li Feng felt pity in his heart, and quickly took the medicine and wiped it on the back of her neck, and asked, "Is there any other place?"

"No more." Huo Lingyue stared at the letter on the desk, and was dazed again.

Li Feng didn't want to spy on her private letters, but there was only one source of Huo Lingyue's private letters? He asked in a low voice, "Did Uncle Huo write you a letter?"

"Hmm." Huo Lingyue raised her pen, but she didn't write it for a long time. The inkstone was already dry, and she hesitated for a long time.Huo Lingyue simply put down her pen and said with a smile: "Little uncle asked me if I was okay? Okay, did you get hurt? I suspect he is? He took a copy of the original and rubbed it."

Li Feng was thinking about how to answer, when she heard Huo Lingyue's last? A? syllable suddenly changed, she paused, and turned her head to block Li Feng's sight.

However, Li Feng could see that a tear fell on the letter paper with a bang.

"..." He didn't know what to do at all. His fingers were still placed stiffly on the back of Huo Lingyue's neck. Li Feng yelled for help in his heart. How much he wished that he could speak at this moment? Dao, to comfort Huo Lingyue, instead of being dumb and saying nothing.

"...Xiaoyue, that?..."

Huo Lingyue took a deep breath, shrugged her shoulders, pressed her palms tightly on the desk, then raised her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just remembered something suddenly."

There were still obvious tear stains on her face, but her tone was already very calm.

Li Feng withdrew his hand, and responded with a na-na.

Huo Lingyue casually threw away the tear-stained letter paper, replaced it with a new one, and then began to write a reply.

She doesn't shy away from Li Feng. While writing a letter, she can't distract herself and ask, "When will we leave for Chang'an?"

"After half a month? When things are settled here, I've already written the battle report and sent it back."

Huo Lingyue bit the pen holder and said, "Half a month...then it will be summer soon."

In the early summer of the tenth year of Yuan Ding, the Da Yue army returned from victory and returned to the city of Chang?an.

Emperor Yuan Ding once said that he wanted to add power to the world and make all countries surrender, and now he has done it.

Even Zhou Zhenyan didn't think it was necessary to continue fighting. He was going to reduce the expenditure on the army and focus on the domestic economy so that the people could cultivate their lives and rest.

He summoned Dr. Tao Jiamu in the temple that day and asked him to read an article.

That article was written by Tao Jiamu, and its main content was the reform of national law.

Today, the laws of Dayue are inherited from the Xia Dynasty, and they are very strict. People often kill and behead all kinds of people, as can be seen from the few cases that Zhao Chengshou has handled.Thousands of people were beheaded and killed in one case. Of course, some of them acted badly and should be punished for their crimes. On the other hand, the laws of Dai Viet are actually too strict.

Tao Jiamu intends to reform the national law. He has been preparing for this matter for a long time. He has read countless files and made a lot of preparations for this.When the time was right, he wrote an article and submitted it to Zhou Zhenyan for review.

He put forward the two most important points of view. One is that criminals should be divided into principal offenders and accomplices, and accomplices can be moderately reduced in punishment.The other is that offenders should be divided into intentional crimes and unintentional crimes, and unintentional offenders can also moderately reduce their punishment.

That's right, before he proposed it, the national laws of Dai Viet were quite simple and brutal. There were no principal offenders and accomplices. Whether it was intentional or not, anyone who committed a crime would be beheaded.

Tao Jiamu's idea is that national law exists to deter and reform.Now that Dai Viet has not yet recovered from the war, in order to restore the previous economic situation as soon as possible, more labor is needed. It is better to release those damned criminals to work than to kill them with a knife.

This matter was to be discussed at the court meeting, Ting Wei showed embarrassment, and Prime Minister Zhao Cheng firmly opposed it.

Zhao admitted that once there is a distinction between the principal criminal and the accessory criminal, and the intentional and the unintentional, the principal criminal can become an accessory through various means, and the intentional criminal can also become unintentional through various means. It is simply turning the seamless national law into a fishing net that everyone can exploit.

Ting Wei actually agreed with Zhao Cheng's idea. With these new regulations, the judgment of the case will become more complicated, and the workload will directly increase exponentially.

This matter was not discussed in the court for the time being. In the end, Zhao Cheng even directly contradicted His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhao Cheng was imprisoned because of his words and deeds.

Chang?'an city suddenly became treacherous, dark tide turbulent.Zhao Cheng has been the prime minister for several years. After Zhou Zhenyan came to power, he was the longest prime minister. Many people thought he was capable.

But now, His Majesty's will has become elusive again?

Chen Hui returned home with a heavy heart, and asked Chen Menghe, "Do you think Your Majesty will kill Prime Minister Zhao?"

Chen Menghe said lightly: "If General Huo is still in the court, His Majesty will not kill him, because Prime Minister Zhao was first recommended by General Huo." The matter between His Majesty the Emperor and General Huo is now everyone I know almost everything, but in the past two and a half years, many people are guessing whether His Majesty will let go of General Huo, but Chen Menghe doesn't think so.

Chen Hui: "Then now..."

"Your Majesty wants to implement the new law. Prime Minister Zhao Cheng is the biggest obstacle." Chen Menghe said slowly: "Kill him, and the new law will be implemented more smoothly."

"Could it be that His Majesty will really kill him?" Chen Hui hurt his kind, feeling a little cold in his heart for a moment, Zhao Cheng is like this, there is no guarantee that he himself will become an obstacle to His Majesty one day.

Chen Menghe wasn't sure, he guessed that His Majesty had the intention to kill Zhao Cheng, and he said in a complicated tone: "Now only General Huo can save Prime Minister Zhao..."

But at this time, General Huo should still keep his filial piety for the old lady, so he couldn't return to Chang'an.

Just when Zhao Cheng was still in prison, a battle report came from the northern border.

The Huns are coming.

This incident caused an uproar in the imperial court. According to the news in the battle report, it was the military minister Lan who led the army to attack the northern border. He has now become the new Chanyu.

At the beginning, Huo Yi beheaded the military official Shan Yu, while Qiu Hongguang harvested the remaining scattered tribes of the Xiongnu.Army minister Lan led the remnants of the army to flee to the west, where they attacked Dayuezhi, Daxia and Kangju respectively. In less than a year, they swallowed up all the three kingdoms and used them to restore vitality.During this process, Junchen Lan successfully ascended to the position of Grand Chanyu and established his own prestige.

Although the battle in the west was very smooth and smooth, the military officer Lan lay on the comfortable soft bed, thinking about Dai Viet.Da Yue beat him so badly that he could dream of Huo Yi's arrow and Qiu Hongguang's knife every night. Military minister Lan finally decided to attack Da Yue.

And he just heard the news that Huo Yi was disarmed and returned to the field, and Qiu Hongguang hadn't played in a few years.Army minister Lan thought this was an excellent opportunity, so he led the reorganized Hun army to conquer Dayue.

After Dai Viet drove the Huns away, he established five counties in the Hexi Corridor to trade with the West and monitor the enemy's situation on the border.After the military official Lan returned to the desert, the Hexi Corridor got the news, and quickly passed the battle report to His Majesty the Emperor in Chang'an City.

Many people felt unbelievable that the Xiongnu dared to come back after being beaten like that.

But Huo Yi and Qiu Hongguang could despise the Xiongnu, but they couldn't. Therefore, many people are speculating that General Huo's army has been disarmed and returned to the field. Do you want Sima Qiu to send troops?Or let Li Feng and Huo Lingyue go to fight again? ... They are really powerful, these two young people have fully demonstrated their abilities in the Southern and Northern Wars, but can they deal with the cruel and terrible Xiongnu?

In the matter of the Huns, no one can take it lightly. The Huns wiped out three kingdoms within a year, which once again proved their terrible strength.

"The Xiongnu really don't want to give up." Huo Lingyue said emotionally. She changed into a long gauze skirt, scattered lightly around, and played chess with Zhou Yunshen with her chin propped up.

Zhou Yun took a deep look at the scar on her arm, but he didn't ask further, but said: "The Huns want to kill them, but they can't be killed. The only way to completely wipe them out is not war, but assimilation."

"You said this before. At that time, I thought it was finally over... You are right." Huo Lingyue leaned back and asked, "This time, Your Majesty will send Brother Qiu Send out?"

Zhou Yunshen tapped the chessboard, pondering for a moment.

Huo Lingyue glanced at him lightly, her long? long? eyelashes drooping, and asked: "Then? Is it me and? Li Feng? Fighting the Huns... I haven't fought yet."

She is at her most beautiful age, and her every move is eye-catching.Huo Lingyue in armor and Huo Lingyue in skirt seem to be two completely different people, but both are full of dazzling charm.

"..." Zhou Yunshen looked at her, and suddenly said, "Xiaoyue, don't you think this is an opportunity?"

Huo Lingyue was stunned for a moment: "What chance?"

"The Xiongnu are very powerful. If you want to fight the Xiongnu, General Huo is the most suitable to come, right?" Zhou Yunshen said slowly.

"No? OK!" Huo Lingyue straightened up abruptly, pursed the corner of her mouth, and said, "Then? I'll do it."

Zhou Yunshen was caught off guard by her violent reaction. No time, he asked tentatively: "Don't you want General Huo to go to war?"

Huo Lingyue glanced at him with a half-smile: "No? Then, is war a good thing?"

If it is necessary to use the victory of the war to maintain the Huo family's prestige, can't she be alone?

Whether it's wars or disputes in the court, if she comes to do these things, the little uncle can? Do what he wants to do.

"You are for General Huo? Army..." Zhou Yunshen finally understood something, couldn't he? Couldn't help laughing, and said in relief: "But your majesty won't let this opportunity go... Xiaoyue, don't worry, in the end Who is going to the battlefield? No? Certainly."

The author has something to say:
