Chapter 188: Aggressive, arguments reappear in court

After the envoy from the Zhang family brought news to Zhang Wei.

What followed was another peaceful time.

Time, like the fine sand outside the Great Wall, passes by the fingertips.

Only the troops outside the wall were left, practicing day and night.

Under the operation of civilians, countless amounts of food and grass have gradually arrived at the front line.

And in the spotlight.

Liu Che also specially held a brief court meeting in March.

Zhang Wei specially manipulated Zhang Wangchuan to attend this court meeting.

However, there are some things that still require the Zhang family to step in.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Wei to take all the blame this time.

In any case, Zhang Wei still knows the importance of the matter.

On weekdays, the Zhang family is able to settle matters with one word. On the one hand, it is because of Liu Che's support, and on the other hand, there is not much conflict.

The only time the Zhang family's proposal was useless was when it came to the war against the Huns. At that time, the court was almost dominated by the surrender faction.

Just like this time, the Zhang family's plan.

One can imagine the resistance involved.

but.

Even knowing that the resistance is infinite.

Liu Che and Zhang Wei also decided to pursue this matter.

The early morning sunlight shines through the tent and onto Zhang Wei's screen.

In front of the screen, Zhang Wei also opened the curtains directly.

The early morning sunlight shines through the window on Zhang Wei's face, making him look extremely calm.

Turn your eyes to the screen again.

"Long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty."

Liu Che simply waved his hand.

"My dear friends, please keep things simple when you are outside and try to live a peaceful life. There will be no need for a lot of red tape and etiquette in the future."

"I thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Wangchuan took the lead and said.

Facing the astonished eyes of everyone, he slowly stood up.

In fact, they were extremely surprised when Zhang Wangchuan appeared in front of everyone today.

The entire Zhang family has not shown up for a long time.

I heard that this time, the Zhang family accompanied the army to show His Majesty's favor.

In fact, the Zhang family announced their withdrawal from the court long ago.

There was already a large number of courtiers cheering each other on.

There are countless more seats in the court to celebrate this occasion.

Of course, the shortcomings of the Zhang family are gradually emerging.

First of all, there is a lack of a decisive person in the court.

There were some matters that were not convenient for Liu Che to talk about but required someone to stand up. Without the Zhang family, the other courtiers were quarreling.

Liu Che walked away many times.

At the same time, there is also one less person who is loyal to Liu Che and willing to do the dirty work for the big man.

Needless to say, the Zhang family actually assumes this role.

Furthermore, Zhang Wangjing and Zhang Wangchuan, one is the minister of the Han Dynasty and the other is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

Government affairs on weekdays are naturally extremely busy.

Now that the Zhang family has temporarily stepped down from office, some things will naturally fall on other courtiers.

but.

Liu Che still retains their positions.

Zhang Wei even gave this euphemistically called paid leave.

That is, they are on vacation, and matters of course still need to be resolved.

Suddenly, the operation of the entire court even came to a halt.

Nowadays, the court meetings in the military are naturally dominated by military commanders.

In fact, the faction opposing the Zhang family is the main one.

The only people who could be considered friends with the Zhang family were Huo Qubing, Wei Qing and others.

With the rise of the Zhang family, there was sporadic interference in history.

Wei Qing's influence is indeed there, and Huo Qubing can be regarded as a favorite of heaven, but he is far from being as powerful as recorded in history books.

The influence of the Zhang family in the military.

In fact, it is not as big as imagined.

At the same time, everyone present had vague guesses about the role of the Zhang family.

In the first battle before, the Zhang family took the initiative to make suggestions.

In this way, the Zhang family achieved its first success.

Of course, we have to admit that the Zhang family does have this strength.

This is the fundamental reason why a group of people have not spoken.

In front of the screen, Liu Che looked at the somewhat dull court and spoke slowly.

"Right now, the war is about to begin. Generals, do you have any good strategies?"

As he spoke, Liu Che turned his gaze to Li Xi who was standing aside.

Previously, he was the sole leader in Liu Che's canonization and was also an influential general in the army.

That is, his position is completely opposite to that of the Zhang family.

Li Xi said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the grassland is vast. What your Majesty said before about sending our army to attack in four directions is actually the best decision. I also suggested using this strategy."

"What do you think?"

Liu Che spoke again and turned his attention to the courtiers.

Others naturally nodded.

The main thing is that there is no better strategy.

You can only use stupid methods.

The grassland is vast and endless as far as the eye can see.

Moreover, it is late autumn, and if it drags on any longer, the entire grassland will enter a severe cold winter.

By then, this cold will cause great trouble to the sweat.

Even their supply lines are threatened.

The best way is actually to decide in a fight.

but.

Is there any way to decide the outcome in one battle?

After the previous battle, the entire Xiongnu main force was lost. Faced with the menacing attack of their big men, it was impossible for them to stupidly come together to fight to the death with the big men, right?

Therefore, we can only divide our troops and march towards the Xiongnu royal court.

To put it simply, it's just luck.

There’s no need to say it so bluntly, but that’s the reality.

The Xiongnu not only had the advantage of geographical location, but also the Han Dynasty had gathered a large number of troops. They may have received the news a long time ago.

If he wanted to run away, even if he dragged him on, not only would he not gain any merit, but he would end up in a protracted war of attrition.

All the generals are well aware of this.

Again.

Who can do anything?

Liu Che's expression on the screen was uncertain.

"Everyone, if this plan is difficult to succeed, could it be that my big man is just wasting away in this grassland? The grassland is bitterly cold during this period. I think all generals have already experienced it deeply. And if we really experience the cold winter here, I will I'm afraid the big man would have suffered countless casualties without the Xiongnu taking action..."

Liu Che didn't say much more about the rest. He just stated everything that the soldiers knew well.

"This plan is just the next one. According to what I think, it is actually a helpless choice for my big man. Do you have any good ideas?"

Say it, Liu Che turned his attention to Wei Qing who was aside.

Wei Qing pondered for a while and slowly raised his hands.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is that I, the big man, need to come up with another clever plan, either to draw out the remaining Xiongnu Shanyu army, or to determine its position, and then our army will come out in full force, and the battle will be decided. Otherwise, once the enemy is alerted, I, the big man, may not do it again. It’s hard to make meritorious deeds.”

Wei Qing's words actually expressed the thoughts of all the soldiers, but they also attracted countless people to sneer.

Do you still want to say these things? Isn't that what Liu Che means in the opposite direction?

Unexpectedly, Liu Che nodded in agreement. "What General Wei said is absolutely true. This idea is also my idea. However, how should we, the Han people, determine where the Huns are, or how to lure the Huns out?"

The problem is back to square one again.

All the previous answers seemed to have no impact.

The soldiers had nothing to say.

There was a brief silence on the field.

Somehow.

Someone suddenly turned their attention to Zhang Wangchuan, who was standing quietly aside. At the same time, more and more people began to notice this figure.

Still a familiar figure from behind.

Logically speaking, at this time in the past.

He was the one who came to the rescue.

In fact, the Zhang family should make a suitable decision.

Then attract the recognition of many people.

It seems that this has become an established thing.

This……

At this moment, Zhang Wei was still controlling Zhang Wangchuan without saying a word.

He made up his mind.

Just to make the court quiet.

Let them see what this group of people are worth without the Zhang family!

Liu Che in front of him showed some dissatisfaction on his face.

Seems very disappointed.

His face immediately darkened.

"There is no one in the civil and military dynasty who can share my worries? Don't I know what you are saying? I am a big man who supports you, but I did not let you stand here."

As soon as Liu Che said this, everyone immediately fell to their knees.

All the generals were frightened.

In fact, Liu Che's words were a bit harsh.

This means just pointing your nose and calling them trash.

In front of the screen, Zhang Wei was still controlling Zhang Wangchuan, standing motionless.

Liu Che was not too surprised.

To put it bluntly, today’s scene is just a show.

What he did was to frighten the group of generals and courtiers in front of him.

No banging banging.

Do you really think that after the Zhang family leaves, the entire court belongs to them?

In the whole world, there is nothing but the royal land. On the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers?

The world of this big man belongs to Liu Che. !

All decisions should be made by him, Liu Che!

The courtiers can make suggestions, but the one who makes the decision must be Liu Che!

You are not the Zhang family, you don’t have that friendship, let alone that resourcefulness!

silence.

There was still silence.

Liu Che did not speak, and no courtier dared to stand up.

Just like that, frozen in place.

Many veterans are already trembling.

Almost fell down.

However, it is supported by strong support.

Otherwise, if a person is labeled as contemptuous of the emperor, they will lose their hat.

"Okay, everyone, get up."

Liu Che spoke calmly.

Then, he turned his attention to Zhang Wangchuan without saying much.

All the courtiers naturally watched this scene.

At this moment, they had long lost their previous arrogance and even jealousy.

He even looked at Zhang Wangchuan as if he were seeing a savior.

I hope Zhang Wei can speak.

At this time, the Zhang family, and only the Zhang family, can appease His Majesty...

However, Zhang Wei still controlled Zhang Wangchuan and remained motionless.

As if thinking about something.

It seems that something is causing me to feel depressed.

Liu Che spoke softly.

"Wangchuan, can you make a decision? Don't worry and speak out. I guarantee that no one in the civil and military circles in this court will dare to interrupt!"

As soon as Liu Che said this.

After the big stick was struck, the other courtiers were even more shocked.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not. This plan is of great importance, and it is tantamount to betting my big man against the entire Xiongnu."

I'm coming.

Zhang Wei’s plan finally came!

In front of him, Liu Che suppressed a hint of joy in his eyes.

There was unstoppable majesty on his face.

"Wangchuan, I still say what I said. You can speak out boldly and confidently. I guarantee that no one will criticize your Zhang family's plan! If anyone dares to speak nonsense, I will beat him out with a stick."

After saying that, Liu Che glanced around the court majestically.

"You have no plan. I will ask the Zhang family again about this matter. Do you have any opinions?"

Faced with Liu Che's inquiry, the others naturally shook their heads.

Seeing this, Zhang Weicai controlled Zhang Wangchuan and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, I have just heard what the courtiers said. This battle must be decided in one fight and cannot be delayed. Right now, the biggest problem is how to find the royal court of the Xiongnu, or how to lure the Xiongnu out. He was wiped out by me in one fell swoop. I wonder if my retelling is correct?" Zhang Wangchuan asked rhetorically.

"Zhang Shangshu, it's true." Wei Qing on the side took over: "However, with these two options, I, the big man, really have no way to start. The grassland is vast, and we can't determine where the Xiongnu king's tent is at all. Moreover, we lured the Xiongnu away. It’s even more nonsense.”

"Nonsense? What if my Zhang family has a plan?"

Zhang Wei's rhetorical question made everyone feel refreshed.

Immediately, the atmosphere in the entire court even stagnated slightly.

Could it be that the Zhang family really has a clever plan!

It is undeniable that in the first battle with the Xiongnu, the Zhang family was full of clever tricks, and even destroyed the main force of the Xiongnu in one fell swoop!

In front of him, Zhang Wei seemed to feel everyone's doubts and nodded solemnly.

"My Zhang family does have a plan, but..."

Having said this, Zhang Wei paused.

Facing everyone's breathless gaze, he immediately said in a loud voice.

"However, such a plan of our Zhang family will definitely interfere with something serious, and may even affect the destiny of our country! If it cannot be done, our country will probably be in turmoil!"

"presumptuous!!!"

Someone in the court spoke.

"Zhang Shangshu, is this what you are saying? Our Han Dynasty is peaceful and the people are safe, and our Majesty is wise and powerful, and all of you are leading the way bravely. Moreover, the Xiongnu have lost all their elites, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled, lingering on. And there are What kind of strategy can completely ruin the destiny of our country, the Han Dynasty?"

In front of the screen, Zhang Wangchuan, controlled by Zhang Wei, stared at the general in front of him, refusing to give an inch.

"Who dares to roar at the court? Your Majesty has said it first. It doesn't matter if you let me, the Zhang family, just say it. What do you mean? Could it be that you are deceiving the emperor and despising your majesty?"

As soon as Zhang Wei said this.

The general in front of him suddenly shrank his neck.

Seeing Liu Che's faint gaze, he spoke in panic.

"I don't dare. I'm just worried about my big man. I just don't want to see the head of the Zhang family act recklessly!"

"What a wanton act." Zhang Wei manipulated Zhang Wangchuan to take a step forward. "When I speak, it is because your Majesty has made a decision, but you have no decision. Your Majesty has questioned you many times. And the general's words here are rough. Could it be that the general has a plan?"

"If the general has a clever plan, my Zhang family is willing to make amends with the general. And if the general is in the court just to deliberately target my Zhang family, my Zhang family is naturally not weak and can be bullied!"

Zhang Wei said aggressively.

As he spoke, the aura of a superior person came over him.

It even made the general in front of him speechless.
