Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 435
When the emperor returned to the palace, King Wuqiu Shouwang and others were about to step forward to congratulate him, but when they saw the expression on the emperor's face, they quickly swallowed their words back.They looked at Yan Zhu, Yan Zhu lowered his eyebrows, but didn't speak, appearing to be unfathomable.

The atmosphere in the hall became weird, and no one dared to talk nonsense.

The emperor thought for a while, glanced at Yan Zhu and the others, and felt that the atmosphere was not right.He waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's good that Liang Xiao burned the Huns' luggage, but it can't solve the problem of our army's luggage. The prepared food and grass must be transported to Henan as soon as possible, and the people who want to migrate can also start. Winter is coming, and it will take a lot of time on the road, so the arrangements will be in place one day earlier, and the sooner you can rest assured."

"Wei!" Everyone responded and went to make arrangements immediately.The relevant documents should be sent to the prime minister's mansion immediately, and the prime minister's mansion will arrange them.

Everyone got busy to cover up the awkward atmosphere.

The Son of Heaven called Yan Zhu and King Wuqiu Shou to him and spread out the map. "The victory of Henan has already been decided. Next, should we move to Youbeiping, or go to Hexi?"

Yan Zhu said: "I think it's better to go to Youbeiping first. King Jiangdu mainly has infantry, and the cavalry is too small. I'm afraid it will be difficult to repel King Zuoxian. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the Huns are powerful. Although the army won the victory, the losses were not small. Especially Liang Xiao, who urgently needs to rest and cannot fight again."

The Son of Heaven nodded. "That's right. Li Guang's troops have moved thousands of miles away, and they are at the end of their battle. Let Wei Qing do the task of rushing to rescue You Beiping."

"Your Majesty is wise." King Wuqiu Shou echoed.

Without thinking too much, he could see the intention.So far, Wei Qing's combat exploits are not outstanding enough, and helping You Beiping can give him one more chance.It's just that he didn't quite understand what Yan Zhu had said to the emperor. In the blink of an eye, the emperor's perception of Liang Xiao had changed so dramatically.

Strategists kill people with their tongues, and they really deserve their reputation.

Guantao Princess Palace.

Liu Ling got out of the car, greeted Deng Guobin, and walked into the gate led by Chen Xu.Chen Xu is the eldest son of the Marquis of Tangyi and the heir to the Marquis. He came to welcome him, and Princess Guantao gave Liu Ling enough face.

Instead of passing through the atrium, they walked along the long corridor and went straight to the backyard.Across the high courtyard wall, Liu Ling could not help but chuckle when he heard the guests talking loudly. "The house is full of guests today."

Chen Xu smiled. "It's all a bunch of stalking things, just joining in the fun. Now my family is no better than when the empress dowager was alive. If it wasn't for the help of the Lord Weng, who would want to come. Even the Lord Weng is not so easy to invite now."

Liu Ling chuckled. "Mr. Chen, does this mean I'm also a follower?"

Chen Xu realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly greeted him with a smile. "My lord, forgive me. I really saw these people getting angry, but it was not aimed at the lord. I know that the lord is not that kind of person. Besides, it is my family's power to be attached to the lord. Lord, you now The business is so big, can you take us to play together?"

"I'm sorry." Liu Ling said with a smile, "I heard that when the Empress Dowager passed away, she left all the treasures she had collected for many years to the Tailord. Your family is sitting on a golden mountain, so why bother to fight for it?" Twelve benefits. Of course, if you are interested, I welcome it."

"That's great." Chen Xu beamed with joy. "My lord, you are not an outsider, so I won't hide it from you. The empress dowager's things are valuable, but they belong to my mother. In the future, my younger brother will inherit the same title as her title. Me, Kong bears a name, if you don't make preparations early, sit and eat, sooner or later you will beg at Lord Weng's gate..."

"Brother, look at you, can you talk about something serious." Empress Chen Ajiao stood at the bottom of the steps and glared at Chen Xu. "Master Weng hasn't taken his seat yet, you cry poor first, is this driving away guests? Do you want to drive me away too?"

Chen Xu hurriedly apologized, blushing and retreated.Chen Ajiao took Liu Ling's hand and went to the hall, winking her eyes. "Sister, there is good news."

"What good news?"

"Liang Xiao made another meritorious service. I heard people say that the emperor was overjoyed, and the officials shouted long live."

Chen Ajiao recounted the news she heard.After Liu Ling heard this, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.She took Empress Chen's hand and said with a smile, "That's all because of His Majesty's discerning eyes."

"Really?" Chen Ajiao snorted: "Then Wei Qing led [-] horses, but he didn't make any contribution. He really failed His Majesty's eyes."

Liu Ling smiled.She knew that the queen was very tired of Wei Zifu recently.The queen and the emperor have been married for many years, and her stomach has not moved. Wei Zifu just gave birth to a daughter, and now she is pregnant again. According to this trend, it will be a matter of time before she has a son.For the queen, childlessness is the biggest disadvantage. The empress dowager passed away again. It is really uncertain how long she can be a queen.

"Queen, who can say for sure what happened on the battlefield. If he doesn't make meritorious service, it doesn't mean he's incompetent. General Li has been known as a famous general for so many years. Isn't it the first time he has made such a contribution? Wei Qing is still young, and it will be sooner or later that he will make meritorious service. thing."

"General Li? General Li can command more than ten thousand troops in the first battle?" Chen Ajiao frowned, showing anger. "General Li is a true son of a good family. What about Wei Qing? He is just a cavalry slave of Princess Pingyang. Just because his sister was favored, he led more than [-] cavalry for the first time. If it gets out, what will the ministers say? , What will the common people say? Sister, I am really not complaining about myself, I am worried about the criticism from the government and the public, which will hinder your majesty's reputation."

Liu Ling shook his head. "Queen, I have a different opinion from you on this point. I think Wei Qing has the talent of a general despite his poor background. His Majesty used him, and there is nothing wrong with him. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

Empress Chen was about to argue again when suddenly her eyes flashed and she laughed. "I understand, I understand. You don't believe in the emperor at all, you believe in Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao and Wei Qing are good friends. If you love Liang Xiao, you will treat Wei Qing differently."

Liu Ling blushed and was speechless.It has to be said that Empress Chen hit her right, and what she said hit her mind.She didn't have much contact with Wei Qing, how could she tell if Wei Qing was a general.But Liang Xiao and Wei Qing had a very good relationship. When Liang Xiao came back from the Western Regions, the first person he went to look for was Wei Qing.Before leaving Beijing, the last person they looked for was also Wei Qing, which shows that the two got close not only because of Zheng Er.

She believed in Liang Xiao's vision.

"Sister, Liang Xiao has made great achievements this time, so he must be granted the title, but I don't know what he will ask His Majesty." Seeing that Liu Ling was embarrassed, Empress Chen was in a good mood, and joked: "Of course, the more important thing is , I don’t know if he will go to the Huainan Palace to ask for something.”

Embarrassed, Liu Ling pushed Empress Chen shyly. "Queen..."

Empress Chen covered her lips and laughed out loud.The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Empress Chen said again: "You are the leader among us women, and if you are so convinced by Liang Xiao, then his ability is even more extraordinary. Tell me, does he have any experience in women's ways?"

"Women?" Liu Ling was taken aback. "He is a man, how can he know anything about women."

"Oh, why don't you just ask me, maybe he knows. You said that I am in good health and have nothing wrong with me, so why..." Empress Chen felt embarrassed and winked her eyes. "You know."

Liu Ling suddenly realized and burst out laughing.

Liang Xiao walked into Li Guang's camp of the Chinese Army, and before he got in, he heard the sound of things being knocked over.He froze for a moment, stopped in his tracks, and turned his inquiring gaze to Li Gan.Li Gan shrank his head and didn't dare to speak.

"Brother Liang, you should go in and ask yourself. I don't know what's going on, but Ah Weng suddenly became annoyed."

Liang Xiao frowned.Brother Liang?Why does this sound so familiar?

He carefully raised the large tent, and saw that the tent was in a mess. Li Guang stood in the tent with his hands behind his back, his face ashen.

"General, you are..."

Li Guang glanced at Liang Xiao, strode to the collapsed case, picked up a document, and threw it in front of Liang Xiao with a "wow". "Look."

Liang Xiao hurriedly took it over to take a look, and then frowned.

The document was sent by Chang'an, requesting that after the war ended, Cheng Bushi would guard Henan, and Han Anguo and Wei Qing would lead troops to assist Jiangdu King Liu Fei who was fighting in Youbeiping. Apart from leaving five thousand horses for Cheng Bushi, most of them The cavalry was handed over to Wei Qing to lead.This is different from the original plan.The original plan was for Li Guang to lead his headquarters to sweep Hexi.Now handing over the main force to Wei Qing to help Liu Fei is tantamount to depriving Li Guang of his military power.

This is the emperor protecting Wei Qing, in order to create opportunities for Wei Qing to make meritorious deeds, even the most basic cover-up is ignored.No wonder Li Guangfa was so angry.Recently, he and Gongsun Ao, Zhang Cigong and others did not see eye to eye with each other. Once this order came out, it seemed like a slap in the face.

Liang Xiao carefully avoided the objects on the ground, and lifted up the desk. "General, sit down."

Li Guangyu was still angry. "Why do I sit? Can I still sit down? It won't be long before this seat will be reserved for Wei Qing."

Liang Xiao sighed. "General, can you listen to my advice? If you can listen, I will tell you what I think. If you don't want to listen, I won't force the general, so I will quit and let the general vent his feelings."

As Liang Xiao spoke, he took a step back.Li Guang glared at him, and shouted: "Stop. Tell me what the court is thinking and why they made such an arrangement. Is it the emperor's will, or is there a villain at work."

Liang Xiao shook his head. "I'm sure it was the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven has a strong character. Others may have the opportunity to make suggestions, but the Son of Heaven must make the decision himself."

"Then...why is he like this?" Li Guang suddenly looked depressed as if he had been beaten by Shuang. "Have we fought a bad battle?"

"On the contrary, it is because we played so well that the emperor wants to do this." Liang Xiao stepped forward, put his hand on Li Guang's shoulder, and pushed him to sit beside the table. "General, this is also the emperor's love for you. You should be grateful."

Li Guang was stunned. "Are you drunk, what kind of bullshit is this?"

Liang Xiao narrowed his eyes. "General, do you think I look like I'm drunk? What I'm telling you now is not some bullshit, but real good advice. Don't use gold as straw, okay?"

Li Guang was amused by him.He waved. "Okay, tell me, how did this become the emperor's love for me?"
