Long live the general

In the morning, Huo Yi handed a letter to Huo Xiaoman, saying: "You send this letter to Hexi Bianjun, and then send it back from Bianjun."

Huo Xiaoman accepted the letter hesitantly, he thought it was very strange.From Chang'an to Hexibian County, it usually takes more than 20 days, and it takes about 30 days to send a letter.If you want to send the letter from Chang'an to Bianjun and back, it will be next spring.

Moreover, there is a high probability that the letter will be lost in the middle of such a tossing back and forth.

"If you lose it, forget it." Huo Yi didn't read the letter much, and turned his head: "You go, and don't let anyone know about it."

He wrote the letter in the middle of the night, and then reluctantly lay down in front of the desk for a while. He was so panicked, his fingers were cold, his chest was hot, and he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

There was a long sleepless night, and he sat by the window, polishing his sword under the moonlight, and passed the night like this.

Huo Xiaoman saw that his complexion was not good, and said sadly: "Master, you didn't sleep last night..."

He knew that Huo Yi had always had this problem, sleeping for at most one or two hours a day, and was easily awakened.Unexpectedly, after returning to Chang'an, the situation became more serious.

Huo Xiaoman was so anxious that he knew best how long the Patriarch hadn't slept well.

"I'm fine." Huo Yi wiped his face to make himself look more awake: "You go to work."

He tried his best to cover up, but Cong Yunmeng noticed it when he was eating. Huo Yi used the excuse that he just came back and didn't get used to it. After he finished speaking, Huo Lingyue next to him snorted coldly.

Huo Yi was extremely helpless. He was talking to his mother now, all of which were based on lies and deceit.

Cong Yunmeng does not doubt him, because Huo Yi has been a frank and straightforward person since he was a child.She said enthusiastically: "Later, you and I will go out and buy two pieces of fabric to make you winter clothes, and make two sets for Xiaoyue..."

She actually prepares new clothes for her two children every year, but this year Huo Yi finally came back, so it is better to make new ones, after all, the previous styles and colors are already old.

Huo Yi agreed, Cong Yunmeng hasn't gone out for a long time, it's a good thing for him to go out for a walk with him.However, when they were about to go out, Chen Zhonglang brought Huo Yi an edict from the emperor, asking Huo Yi to enter the palace to face the emperor.

Cong Yunmeng had already put on his outer robe, and several people looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect such an outburst.

Huo Yi had no choice but to change into the court clothes in a hurry. He didn't need to go to court every day. This orthodox Chu color court dress was rarely worn on the upper body. Only when he put it on at this time did he realize that the clothes were a little too wide.

Chen Zhonglang reminded softly beside him: "Huo Jun, it's cold outside, take that piece of warm jade with you."

Huo Yi froze for a moment, and put Nuanyu on his chest.

Chen Zhonglang could barely be regarded as Huo Yi's acquaintance in Chang'an. When the two of them walked together, they had a good impression of each other.At this time Zhou Zhenxie sent Chen Zhonglang to pick him up again. To Chen Zhonglang, this was actually the meaning of the Holy Majesty asking him to befriend Huo Junshou.

Although Zhong Lang is a small official, he usually follows the Holy Majesty around, and the Holy Majesty will ask their opinions on important state affairs.As long as you don't make mistakes, the future is boundless.Zhonglang's position was the emperor's position, and many high-ranking officials did not hesitate to bribe them to get close to them, hoping to know the holy will.Chen Zhonglang was standing on the side of Huo Junshou, and many people could see the attitude of the Holy Majesty.

Therefore, Chen Zhonglang was very respectful to Huo Yi. After they got into the carriage, they gave each other a friendly smile.

Huo Yi stretched out his hand: "Master Zhonglang..."

Chen Zhonglang also stretched out his hand: "Lord Sheriff..."

The two spread their hands at the same time, Huo Yi had a gold nugget in his palm, and Chen Zhonglang had a warm and fine jade pendant in his hand.

All in all, the two prices should be about the same.

Huo Yi is worthy of being a martial arts practitioner, his movements were very fast, and he pushed the gold nuggets into Chen Zhonglang's hands without hesitation. Chen Zhonglang was not an ordinary person—although he had never seen such a scene before, he staggered the gold nuggets very flexibly, Send the jade pendant over.There is absolutely no reason to take back the things that have been put out. They actually exchanged "gifts" with each other through two tricks.

Chen Zhonglang held the heavy gold nugget, and the corners of his eyebrows twitched. Even he felt a little bit of embarrassment now, presumably Huo Junshou was also like this... The two looked at each other, Huo Yi put away the jade pendant, and said calmly: "Thank you Back then, Chen Zhonglang took care of him all the way, and this was the only thing to express his heart..."

It was reasonable for him to give some gifts to Chen Zhonglang, first of all he had the friendship of traveling with him, and when he arrived in Chang'an alone, it was reasonable to take care of the celebrities around the emperor.

But Chen Zhonglang's operation is amazing.

Chen Zhonglang smiled and said: "I walked with Huo Jun on the road a few days ago, and Huo Jun seemed to be a little sleep deprived. This jade pendant is not a rare thing. Madam bought it in a Taoist temple, and it has the effect of reassuring the soul."

His tone was sincere, as if he just wanted to make friends with Huo Yi because he saw each other right.

Huo Yi thought to himself, he will return to Xihebian County in a few days, it is indeed a good thing to have a friend here in Chang'an.What Chen Zhonglang thought was that the Holy Majesty seemed to want to keep Huo Junshou in Chang'an for reuse, so he naturally wanted to hold on to his thighs now.Think about it carefully, this is also an opportunity given to him by the Holy Majesty.

Chen Zhonglang gradually understood everything.

After entering the palace, Chen Zhonglang took him to the Xiaojiao Temple.After stepping into Xiaojiao Temple, his whole body was immediately surrounded by warmth and a gentle fragrance. Huo Yi was blown by the cold wind all morning, and finally woke up a little, and suddenly began to feel a little sleepy.

The sound of Huo Yi's footsteps was absorbed by the soft carpet. Before he saluted, Zhou Zhenyan raised his head and said impatiently, "Huo Qing, come and sit down quickly. I have a question to ask you."

Huo Yi saluted in a hurry, and sat carefully opposite him. There was a map of Da Vietnam on the desk. This map was drawn in great detail, extending thousands of miles to the northwest, including many small countries outside the Gobi.

Zhou Zhenzhen pressed his fingers on those small countries, forming a straight line in turn: "Last time, Huo Qing said that to wipe out the Xiongnu, you must go deep into the desert, but it is difficult for the Vietnamese army to march in the desert?"

Huo Yi took a sip of tea, and tried to wake up in the heated and fragrant room. If he fell asleep while the emperor was questioning him, deducting his salary would be a basic operation, and dismissal would not be too much.

Dismissal and dismissal are two different things.

"There are more infantry, and it is fundamentally impossible to travel thousands of miles into the desert." Huo Yi clicked on the map: "For cavalry... six hundred miles is the limit."

Zhou Zhenxie thought for a moment in silence, then suddenly asked: "Brother Huo once fought with the Northern Army, right? It took a total of three years before he went to Xihebian County."

When Huo Yi heard the word Beijun, a thin cold sweat broke out on his back. He took a sip of tea in a concealed manner and said, "Yes."

The Northern Army is the strongest army in Dai Viet, and it deserves it.

Dai Viet now has [-]% infantry and [-]% cavalry, and all of these [-]% cavalry belong to the Northern Army.During the Zhou Dynasty of Emperor Yueyun, the Northern Army was the army with the most victories, which was enough to make the Huns fearful.

However, the Northern Army fought against the Huns for the last time, went deep into the desert, and returned with a disastrous defeat.

The Northern Army suffered heavy losses, and Huo Fengnian and Huo Yi also narrowly escaped death.That's right, Huo Yi was also involved in the battle that went deep into the desert.He was only 16 years old at the time, and he led the army as a lieutenant of cavalry, and he was quite prestigious-although part of his reputation came from the supreme commander of the Northern Army, General Huo Fengnian.

"What's the reason for the failure?" Zhou Zhenxie asked. He was only six years old at the time, and he was still fighting wits and courage with his elder brothers in the palace, struggling to survive. If he behaved badly, Zhou Jing would give up his son at any time.He had no time to pay attention to this matter, and by the time he took power, it had been 12 years.

Huo Yi's mind was completely cleared up: "Because...the minister's command was improper, he lost his way halfway, and later fell into the trap of the Huns..."

Zhou Zhenyan leaned over and said, "This is recorded in the file, but I don't believe it."

"General Huo has ruled the army and fought for dozens of years. It is impossible for such a thing as improper command to happen to him." Zhou Zhenzhen was sure of his own judgment, and he called Huo Fengnian General Huo.When Huo Fengnian returned from defeat, Zhou Jing had already resigned from his position as a general.

He recalled the content on the file: "Plus, General Huo has gone on many expeditions, and he knows the desert like the back of his hand, how could he get lost..."

Huo Yi thought to himself, it is still possible, everything will develop in the worst direction in the desert.

"At that time, the Northern Army had traveled six hundred miles." Huo Yi said, he deeply remembered that place, and how the soldiers who had run out of supplies starved to death, and encountered the Huns' army in a state of extreme hunger. .

Zhou Zhen frowned: "Six hundred miles?"

Huo Yi thought for a while, considered again and again, and said cautiously: "Six hundred miles is not the limit of cavalry, but the limit of materials."

After sitting for a long time, my legs are a little numb.

This is the first time that Huo Yi has discussed his father's death with others in these years. After his father died, he fell into anger and despair, but everyone in the family avoided talking about it.At that time, the Northern Army was still in his hands, and he wanted to seek justice from the Holy Majesty, but his elder brother Huo Xin severely stopped him.Some people make trouble when they are down, some give them help in a timely manner, some comfort him, and some protect him, but no one seriously analyzes the original matter with him.

"That's why General Huo was defeated because he didn't have enough supplies." Zhou Zhen said sharply.

Huo Yi did not deny his idea: "Materials are just one of them. The expedition was full of difficulties from the beginning, and it was very inappropriate from all aspects."

Zhou Zhenxie asked: "Why is it not suitable for the law?"

Huo Yi pursed his lips, should he trust the new emperor?

What he wanted was to return to Xihebian County, abdicate at the right time, and take his mother back to Shu County to live in peace.

If it's like before...

He only hesitated for a moment, then Zhou Zhenyan took over the conversation, asked himself and answered: "Because at that time some people...most people did not support the Northern Expedition to the Huns."

For some people, the Huns would not overtake him, and Dai Viet would not be able to subjugate the country because of this.And once the Northern Expedition was decided, the country's money was thrown into this bottomless pit like running water.And once a full-scale war is set off, those with military merit will gain more power, and those powers and prestige will be taken away from them.

Power will only transfer from the hands of some people to the hands of others, it will not disappear or appear out of thin air.

Zhou Zhenzhen smiled suddenly, and said to Huo Yi: "As the emperor of Dayue, all the officials in the court should be used by me."

They work for the emperor, how dare they influence my decision.

He can give power to whomever he wants.

"Huo Qing, I will let you regain control of the Northern Army, plus [-] cavalry, all under your command, how about entering the desert again?"

The author has something to say:

Huo Yi: Although I am very tired, I am not tired because I have to go to work to see the boss.
