Han: The witchcraft disaster begins, I fight against Emperor Wu of Han

Chapter 87 What is intolerable?
why?
No! Li Guangli suddenly realized that Emperor Jing's grandson had not refuted a single word from the beginning till now.

You know, according to his previous style, he would have spoken and interrupted me a long time ago. But now he said nothing.

Something is wrong!
Liu Jing is now looking at Liu Che.

He was once again surprised by the new changes in the lucky coin. If he hadn't seen Li Guangli camping halfway in advance, he really didn't know what happened on the road.

Without taking the initiative, it was inevitable that he would be tricked by Li Guangli.

And now...

"Your Majesty! Please punish Li Guangli for deceiving the emperor!"

He was very direct, unlike Li Guangli, who talked a lot.

Because he had already said everything he needed to say.

"When did the army move forward? How long was the original journey? How long did he walk? These are all facts! You can ask anyone in the army."

"Grandson Jing!"

Li Guangli also became anxious. He found that things were really out of control, but what he said was also true.

"King Huaide's order, you will know it when you return to the capital. You have ulterior motives. You brought Your Majesty to this dangerous place and almost brought disaster to the Han Dynasty! Now you are wrongly accusing me in front of Your Majesty? Are you going to put all the faults of King Huaide on me?"

Liu Jing looked at the other person coldly.

"When did General Ershi start to obey my father's words? When my father was the crown prince, he was not respected by the officials in the court. In the end, he was even framed by a Zhao fugitive..."

"Now that the crown prince has been deposed and he is just a prince of Huaide, how can he make General Ershi obey his orders?"

He believed that anyone with a brain present would know that Li Guangli was behind this after he reminded them.

"Grandson Jing, Your Majesty is not here, and Prince Huaide is the regent. If I don't listen now, when will I listen? Grandson Jing wants to exonerate the crown prince so badly..."

They were about to quarrel.

"enough!"

Suddenly, Liu Che interrupted Li Guangli from continuing.

"This is not the place for you to make a scene. The Huns are still outside the border, eyeing us covetously. Now that you've arrived, it's timely. The most urgent thing is military affairs!"

"Can't you tell the difference between what's important and what's not?"

At this time, Liu Che suddenly turned a big thing into a small thing.

The attitude is very different from before.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Guangli.

"I will return to the court tomorrow and we will discuss everything after we get back. Send out troops along the way to guard the important checkpoints and do not let the victims stop the messenger!"

"Also, investigate as soon as possible to see if there is anyone among the disaster victims who blocked the messenger. Find out who is from the three Yi tribes!"

"Among the disaster victims, young and strong people should be transferred out and resettled elsewhere to prevent the previous crisis from happening again."

He issued several orders in succession.

Liu Che deliberately revealed what had happened before.

But when Liu Jing saw this, he was stunned.

However, before he could open his mouth, Liu Yuan, who was also watching from the side, couldn't help but speak.

"Grandfather, are you going to turn a blind eye and deliberately indulge Li Guangli?"

The sudden question made the whole scene quiet.

Huo Guang and others were greatly surprised, but dared not say much. They just marveled and followed suit.

Liu Che looked at it in surprise.

"Indulge?"

"The matter is still unclear. I have already said that we will discuss it when we get back..."

"But……"

"Let's talk about it when we get back!"

Liu Che glared at Liu Yuan, then looked at the silent Liu Jing again.

Seeing that he didn't say much, he prepared to get up.

However, at this moment.

Liu Jing suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten something?"

Liu Che turned around suddenly.

But Liu Jing continued, "General Ershi, it's time as I said before."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone then vaguely remembered.

When Liu Jing said that Li Guangli would arrive before sunset, Your Majesty did not believe it.

Finally, he spoke again: If I haven't arrived, please punish me for deceiving the king.

This led to a series of subsequent speculations.

And now...

However, Liu Jing was not prepared to "let go" at all.

In fact, Liu Jing also guessed why Liu Che had a different attitude before and after, and why he was unwilling to escalate the matter after Li Guangli really arrived.

1. As I just mentioned, the Huns issue!

Liu Che was unwilling to allow any problems to arise in the Han military at this time. After all, there were disaster victims inside and the Huns outside.

During his fifty-year reign, he created the current political and military system of the Han Dynasty. It is obvious that his political schemes and tactics had reached their peak long ago.

When he first ascended the throne, he was young and full of energy, so he could endure for a while...

At this time, you can be more "tolerant".

2. There was a serious gap among the Han generals, and in their hearts, they did not want to deal with Li Guangli.

After all, Li Guangli was one of the generals that Liu Che thought he could completely "control".

He was the commander-in-chief of many expeditions in recent years. Even after the witchcraft incident, it was Li Guangli who served as the commander-in-chief in the expedition to the Xiongnu...

He wanted to train another Wei Qing or Huo Qubing.

Even though he knew it was impossible, he was willing to use his military achievements to "set off" Li Guangli.

This will eliminate the legacy of Wei Huo!
3. Liu Che did not know the whole story about this matter. Perhaps, as he thought, he had to return to the capital for a thorough investigation before making any judgment.

but.

Liu Che had his own reasons, but Liu Jing did not.

What's more, how could he let Liu Che get his wish so easily and let Li Guangli go?

Since your attitude is different before and after, you are making a big deal out of a small matter, confusing right and wrong, and acting like a rogue.

At this moment, Liu Jing simply started to act like a rogue.

Therefore, with just this one sentence, he made the "atmosphere" that had originally ended become tense again.

"Your Majesty is deliberately covering up this matter now. Are you worried that Li Guangli will hold the military power? Will he start a mutiny here?"

In an instant...

Huo Guang, Jin Midi, Sang Hongyang and other ministers who were already preparing to consider returning to the court suddenly changed their expressions.

No one expected that such shocking words would be said so openly.

Li Guangli stood up in shock, his voice becoming shrill.

"Grandson Jing, please stop slandering me!"

Liu Che stared at Liu Jing, his eyes showing anger and surprise, but more of it was a ridiculous look!

"I'm worried about him?"

Liu Jing seemed not to understand the meaning of Liu Che's words, but continued to talk to himself:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The victims almost attacked the city before, and even under the instigation of the Huns, I can keep this place safe. With an extra General Ershi, I can also keep this place safe!"

"Liu Jing!" Liu Che frowned. He now really doubted whether Liu Jing really thought so: he was afraid of the military power in Li Guangli's hands, so he would not deal with it for the time being.

He was kind enough to help me...

Help yourself?
Suddenly, Liu Che woke up and realized.

Help me!
Liu Che, who was familiar with Liu Jing's actions during this period, realized in an instant that he was playing tricks on them!
"Your Majesty, don't worry about the Xiongnu. If they are not absolutely sure, they will not really attack the city. I guess the disaster of the victims of Yinmi City is both a test for them and a further guarantee for them."

"In other words, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about anything. You can punish Li Guangli now!"

"Your Majesty, not only did the grandson of the Emperor Jing frame his subjects and oppress the emperor, he even overestimated his own abilities and dared to speak nonsense about military and national affairs?"

Li Guangli became annoyed when he saw that Liu Jing kept grabbing him.

However, Liu Jing didn't talk to him at all.

Instead, he continued, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Without Li Guangli, our Han Dynasty will be left without a general."

"I have to repeat what I said in the "Vow Return" before. What ability does Li Guangli have to be the general? He is not strict in military discipline, not proficient in military strategy, not familiar with archery, and his archery skills are not even as good as mine!"

"Your Majesty repeatedly uses such a great general?"

"I dare to assert here that if Your Majesty uses Li Guangli as a general again, my Han army will be completely destroyed by him sooner or later!"

Swish!
Huo Guang and the others were shocked and looked at him fiercely. Liu Jing's words meant that he had completely torn his face with Li Guangli. No, they had already torn it apart when he wrote the vow.

But it is still too much to say that in the end the Han army destroyed them!

But Liu Jing knew it well.

In the last battle, although Li Guangli surrendered to the Huns, this was also due to the fact that Emperor Liu Che had become incompetent in his later years.

Li Guangli's surrender and Li Ling's surrender, to some extent, are "similar in nature".

Of course, not to mention their respective abilities.

Li Ling, grandson of Li Guang and son of Li Gan, was rumored to be a truly talented young general. In his first expedition, he was able to resist the elite troops of the Xiongnu royal court with only 5,000 infantrymen, fighting and retreating.

Finally, when they were out of ammunition and food, and only a hundred miles away from the border, they were betrayed by a "traitor" on their own side and were captured by the Huns.

but.

Even after being captured, he did not surrender to the Huns immediately.

Even in the past few decades, there were countless Han generals and people who were captured by the Huns for several years or even decades, but some of them returned to Chang'an with their own perseverance or luck.

When he was young, Emperor Wu of Han was generous and used whatever he could.

But in his later years, he became suspicious and jealous...

After hearing that Li Ling had surrendered, he immediately killed all his family members.

This led to him surrendering even though he was far away in the Xiongnu.

This was especially true for Li Guangli. After the Witchcraft Incident, he finally reacted and began to settle accounts.

Later, he heard that Liu Quti and Li Guangli were plotting to support King Changyi Liu Bo to ascend the throne.

In a rage, he exterminated the entire family of Liu Quti and the entire family of Li Guangli!

However, he forgot that Li Guangli was leading his Han army on an expedition against the Huns at that time.

After hearing the news, they simply staged a battle, eager to gain military merit, and then killed all the elite troops of the Han Dynasty at the hands of the Huns!
He also surrendered!
Only at this point did the "Luntai Edict" come into being!
And just when Liu Jing was thinking in his heart.

"Liu Jing!"

Liu Che, who could no longer suppress his anger, spoke out angrily.

He now doesn't know how to deal with Liu Jing.

Obviously, the other party is capable. This time, he was able to stabilize Yinmi City, and he had the greatest merit!

however……

Every time he made great achievements, he was unruly and made himself angry.

During this tour, he saw the weakness of the victims of the Han Dynasty and knew the reason why Liu Jing did so. Therefore, he didn't want to talk to him much along the way.

but now……

The Han Dynasty was destroyed and the Han army was overthrown at any time?
How dare you, a descendant of the Liu family, speak so arrogantly?

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

At this time, Li Guangli's face was also red.

"I have fought for so many years. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard! It was clearly King Huaide who gave me the order... I was just telling the truth, but I was humiliated by the grandson of the Emperor Jing!"

"It's unbearable!"

"Even if I had a hundred guts, I would not dare to do what Grandson Jing just said!"

"But the last sentence says that my military ability, which has won me many military honors, is worthless in his mouth!"

"Well... Since the grandson of Emperor Jing thinks that I am not good at military strategy, do not discipline the army strictly, am not familiar with archery, and my archery skills are not as good as yours!"

"Then I will boldly ask for advice from Grandson Jing!"

Liu Jing suddenly looked at the other party, "Is it military strategy, military management, archery, or archery?"

"Please teach me everything!"

"I have been selected by your majesty and now serve as a general of the Han Dynasty! How can I be humiliated by you?" When Li Guangli said this, his expression suddenly changed.

When he was on his way into the city, he saw that Yinmi City was peaceful and harmonious, and then he learned about Liu Jing's "miracle" of three arrows!
Therefore, he would not be stupid enough to compete with him in personal bravery!
"As a general, you should not talk about Xiang Yu's bravery, but start from what Emperor Jing said about commanding the army..."

"You lead a thousand men, and I lead a thousand men...if the Huns really retreat this time."

"Your Majesty once performed martial arts in Shanglin Garden, but in recent years, the Taoist priests have been rampant, so the martial arts performances have been stopped!"

"Now, I will resume the martial arts performance with you in front of His Majesty!"

"Let's see if Emperor Jing's grandson can only show off his power of words, or does he really have the ability to command the army, practice battle formations, and even teach his subordinates how to ride and shoot horses?"

When Li Guangli said this, he was already looking at Liu Che!
"The grandson of the emperor has been disrespectful to Your Majesty many times before, and he has humiliated me, and even let Your Majesty criticize him!"

"If the grandson of Emperor Jing is defeated, Your Majesty, he will be like Zhao Kuo, a boastful and armchair strategist! I request that he and the former crown prince who committed the crime be immediately relocated to Lingnan!"

Liu Jing narrowed his eyes.

He could naturally see that Li Guangli at this moment was not "speaking irrationally" out of anger. Obviously, he had thought it over carefully and really wanted to use this matter to get himself and others to leave the capital.

As the former crown prince who failed in the bid for the throne, Yiying went to Lingnan which had just been recovered, there was only one result!
"What if you really do what I say?"

Li Guangli's eyes were red, and he seemed to be really forced into a corner.

He looked at Liu Che and simply shouted:

"If I lose, what will happen to the grandson of the Emperor Jing who has never been on the battlefield and can only talk big on paper?"

"Then I am really as Grandson Jing said, an incompetent person!"

"Your Highness, you don't need to say anything. I will go and meet the brothers who died in the battlefield!"

"it is good!"

Liu Jing was not afraid when he saw this!
He looked straight at Liu Che.

"Then Your Majesty, please wait and see... Is it as I said, that after hearing about Yinmi City, the Xiongnu will hastily retreat?"

"And we will follow your Majesty's orders and return to Chang'an tomorrow!"

"Your Majesty, please also witness what the General Ershi selected in recent years is capable of?"

now.

When Liu Che met him, he was a rookie, no, not even a rookie on the battlefield.

But dare you compare yourself with Li Guangli, who has fought in many battles?

Long time no see...

The kind of passion that I once had when I was young, discovering military generals, and finally finding Wei Qing among the horsemen in Shanglin Garden, and then personally cultivating Huo Qubing...

It seems to linger in my mind again and won't go away for a long time.

What’s more, Shanglin Garden is empty now!

If you don't perform martial arts, what's the point of keeping them?

Thinking of this, Liu Che said, "Then I will agree!"

……

And soon, the next day.

Liu Jing asked the governor Di Chun to set off with them, and at the same time, he also captured many people who had defected to the Huns.

And a few days later, when I returned to Chang'an.

Liu Jing ignored the officials who came to greet him and looked at the coin in his hand. It was now shining with silver light, and the "Hexi Corridor" on it was so clear.

As he looked over, in an instant...

The scenery before my eyes changed drastically!

……

Dusky grassland and flying dust.

Only on the huge city wall, the two words "Wuwei" were written with iron pen and silver hook!
This was one of the county names given by Emperor Wu of Han personally after Huo Qubing conquered Hexi.

At this moment, thirty miles north.

But there were herds of horses on the road, and on their backs were small and sturdy Xiongnu people...

For the first place.

A middle-aged man, who was dressed differently from the rough-looking Huns behind him, looked hatefully at Wu Wei in front of him.

Then, he looked at the figure on the left again.

"Right School King, it seems that your wish has come true... The attack on Wuwei will have to be postponed for the time being!"

His eyes were cold, but the figure he was looking at was young. At this moment, he looked dejectedly at Wu Wei in front of him.

Then he turned his horse's head and slowly left...

"Grandson of the Emperor Jing, Liu Jing!"

The middle-aged man spoke the name again in a cold voice, and then looked at the city wall with regret again.

He said in hatred: "Retreat!"
