Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 562 Siblings
On the way, Meigao met the envoy who passed the imperial edict, and the emperor asked him to rush to Ganquan Palace immediately to serve as the military planner of Cao Shi, the general who conquered the west.Mei Gao was overjoyed, and traveled day and night, and arrived at Ganquan Palace in only half a month. On the way, he only stopped in Chang'an for a while, and went to the palace to talk to Sima, the Taishi Ling.

Sima Tan was stargazing at Tianlu Pavilion, the room where the large clairvoyance was placed was in a mess, books were piled up everywhere, and pens and ink were scattered on the desk.Sima Tan's face was pale, his eyes were red, and when he left the clairvoyant, his eyes became a little weak.Seeing Mei Gao enter the room, his first reaction was to mess up the calculations on the case, roll up the spread silk book, and press it under the ink-stained sleeve.

"It turned out to be a young child, and I was taken aback."

Mei Gao joked: "Tai Shigong has worked hard."

"Haha, it's not hard work, it's not hard work." Sima Tan rubbed his nose, the tip of his nose was smeared black with the ink on his fingers. "It's just... excited."

Mei Gao raised his eyebrows. "Discovered a major secret, but can't share it with others?"

"Yes, yes." Sima Tan replied, but then felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, and laughed twice to cover up.As Mei Gao said, his mood is very complicated now.On the one hand, he saw a starry sky that ordinary people had no chance to know through clairvoyance, and discovered a large number of stars, which could completely overthrow the existing astrology.However, he hasn't deduced the formula yet, so he can't make these discoveries public. It's like carrying a treasure, but he can only wear old clothes and walk through the downtown like a beggar.

What he hopes is not this, he hopes that he will become famous in one day, establish his own family, and become a master of a generation.

"You... where did you come from?"

"From Lushan Mountain." Mei Gao laughed softly: "The retainers of the Huainan Prince's Mansion have invented a new style. I think it may inspire you, so I came here to tell you."

"Stand-up?" Sima Tan jumped up suddenly, his eyes widened. "What formula?"

Mei Gao didn't speak, took out two small nails from his arms, pressed them on the desk, took out a string, tied the two ends to the two nails, picked up a sharpening knife, and hung it on the desk. On the rope, draw a half ellipse on the table, turn around and draw another half ellipse.Then he put down the sharpener, picked up a pen, wrote a formula on the silk script, and walked away.

Sima Tan stared at the oval engraved on the case, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were motionless, like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb.

Mei Gao left Weiyang Palace and rushed to Chen Zhang's house.

Chen Zhang went out to meet him and brought Mei Gao to the hall.As soon as he was seated, Mei Gao said: "Your Majesty ordered me to take Huo Qubing to Ganquan Palace, you should prepare immediately."

Although Chen Zhang didn't understand Mei Gao's intention, since it was His Majesty's order, of course they couldn't ask for it.Huo Qubing worshiped Huan Yuan as his teacher and learned archery. After just a few days of learning, Liang Xiao was dismissed from office and left Chang'an.Chen Zhang regretted this a lot. If he had known this, he would not have gotten so close to Liang Xiao, and he kicked down a door for nothing.Now that the emperor summoned Huo Qubing to enter the palace, it can be seen that his grace has not faded, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mei Gao was very disdainful to see Chen Zhang's appearance of surviving after a catastrophe.No matter what Chen Zhang said, he was also a descendant of a noble relative. He just married Wei Shao'er for the sake of wealth.

"Chen Jun, Your Majesty is aspiring to the world, and he is only talented. Huo Qubing is extremely talented, and his future achievements will be limitless. The wealth of the Chen family may depend on him. You should be more patient and don't get confused. Hou (Chen Ping) assisted Emperor Gao, defeated Xiang Yu, captured Han Xin, and was trapped in Baideng by the Huns with 40 horsemen. What a hero. "

Chen Zhang was extremely embarrassed, Wei Wei was so depressed that he was dying.After Meigao left, he sighed for a long time, unable to calm down for a long time.It's really embarrassing to be criticized by a young boy after a dignified hero.If it was 30 years earlier, when the heroic hero was still there, how could Meigao be so presumptuous.

For a while, Chen Zhang recalled the past with a lot of emotion.

-

Mei Gao took Huo Qubing, left the Chen family, left Chang'an City, and went straight to Ganquan Palace.

Huo Qubing didn't bring any luggage, except for a few changes of clothes, which was the bow and horse Liang Xiao gave him.He didn't speak until he got out of Chang'an City, and when he was driving lightly on the post road, he asked, "Mr. Mei, how are my master and senior brother?"

Mei Gao looked back at him. "Are you worried about him?"

"Well, okay, you left suddenly, even Maoling's manor was sold, how can you not worry about it. Is it good news or bad news that you are going to Lushan Mountain this time?"

Mei Gao laughed. "Good news. His Majesty rewarded him for his service as an envoy, adding [-] households to the town."

"If that's the case, then why did you drive senior brother to Chang'an?" Huo Qubing raised his head. "Is it because senior brother wants to speak for the people of Shandong?"

"Do you think you should speak up?"

"I don't know." Huo Qubing said in a low voice: "Actually, His Majesty values ​​senior brother very much. It would be great if senior brother could only focus on fighting and not care about so many things. He always taught me that doing things is like archery, you have to concentrate, but Why should he care about those things? Aren't other ministers in charge of those things?"

Huo Qubing's voice was very low, drowned in the sound of horseshoes, Mei Gao couldn't hear it clearly, but from Huo Qubing's expression, he saw something that didn't match his age.He had heard Liang Xiao talk about Huo Qubing's talent many times, but he himself didn't really believe that a ten-year-old child, even if he was smart, could be so smart that Liang Xiao valued him so much.He always thought that Liang Xiao felt pity for Huo Qubing, but now he felt that his vision might not be as good as Liang Xiao's on this issue.

Huo Qubing is more mature than his peers.

Liang Xiao's eyesight is indeed unmatched by me.Mei Gao laughed at himself, full of confidence in the future, and involuntarily puffed up his chest.

-

Meigao rushed to Ganquan Palace, please see me as soon as possible.The emperor was amazed at his speed, and summoned him immediately.Seeing Mei Gao and Huo Qubing approaching with strides, the emperor's eyes lit up, he turned to Cao Shi and said, "Look, isn't the military plan I arranged for you good?"

"Your Majesty, the minister and Mei Shaoru went to Minyue together, and I have heard of his ability for a long time."

"Haha, I just heard about it at that time, but this time I will let you see it with your own eyes. When you are victorious, let him write military books. He must be gentle and complement each other."

Cao Shi said with a smile: "I also hope that this day will come sooner."

While speaking, Mei Gao and Huo Qubing rushed to the emperor and bowed to salute.The emperor glanced at the bow on Huo Qubing's back and frowned. "Boy, didn't I give you a good bow, why don't you use it, but carry such a bamboo bow?"

"The bow given by your Majesty is too strong. The archer has not yet mastered it, so he can barely use it. He can only use brute force. Although the bamboo bow is soft, it is established according to the rules. It is not a wise man's action to encourage the growth of seedlings."

"Hey! What a big tone." The emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise, and turned to look at Cao Shi.Cao Shi was also surprised.Wei Shaoer was a servant of the Marquis of Pingyang. Huo Qubing was born and raised in the Marquis of Pingyang. Cao Shi met him.Looking at his young and mature appearance now, one can't help being surprised.

"Who told you that?"

"My senior brother, champion Hou Liang Boming." Huo Qubing took down the bamboo bow, and caressed it lovingly. "This is the bow he used to practice archery back then. It is said that it was given to me by my master. Now he has passed both archery and bow to me."

The emperor originally wanted to tease a few words, but when he heard that this was the bow Liang Xiao used to practice archery, he immediately swallowed those words back.When he learned that Liang Xiao was accepting apprentices on behalf of his teacher and teaching Huo Qubing archery, he was a little skeptical at first.Like learning, archery is handed down from family, to some extent it is even more conservative than learning, and it cannot be passed down unless it is close.Can Liang Xiao pass such a unique skill to Huo Qubing?
But looking at it now, I'm afraid Liang Xiao really passed on the art of archery to Huo Qubing.Based on this reasoning, when he left Chang'an without Huo Qubing with him, it seemed that he had other meanings.Obviously, he didn't want to implicate Huo Qubing, nor did he want to take Huo Qubing, a talented young man, for his own use.If it were someone else, how could such a talent give up so easily, since he was taught from a young age, his loyalty is by no means comparable to that of ordinary disciples.

"Very good, you should practice with your heart, and it won't be too late to use the bow I gave you when your archery skills are as exquisite as your senior brother's."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mei Gao watched from the side, and heaved a sigh of relief.He heard a little looseness in the emperor's tone, and a hint of apology.This is a good thing, if the Son of Heaven has always held prejudices against Liang Xiao, their plan will be very difficult to succeed.After all, going to sea is a last resort. If possible, they still hope to assist the emperor, and the monarch and his ministers are of one mind.

Meigao entered the hall, and the map of Hexi drawn by him and Ma Rong was spread on the imperial case.The emperor and Cao Shi were discussing the use of troops in Xiqiang.

"Mei Shaoru, you know the situation in Hexi best. In your opinion, what strategy should be adopted to pacify Hexi?"

Mei Gao pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, if you want to fix Hexi, you must first fix Southeast."

"Southeast?" The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and he tapped his finger on the map twice, with a displeased expression.

He knew exactly what Mei Gao was talking about. The memorial to Huainan King Liu An's request to relocate the vassal had already been sent to him, and he had also discussed it with several of his close ministers, but there was no conclusion yet.Someone suggested accepting Liu An's request and moving him to Dongye to guard the border for the country.Some people objected, thinking that doing so would make Liu An out of the control of the court.If he colluded with Nanyue, the disaster would be more serious than Minyue.

He wanted to ask Mei Gao for his opinion, but he didn't expect that Mei Gao would take the initiative to raise this question as soon as they met, and he didn't hide his thoughts.

"What happened to the southeast?" Tianzi asked lightly.

Mei Gao turned his head and glanced at Cao Shi, then cupped his hands. "Junhou, what's your impression of the Nanyue prince?"

Cao Shi was taken aback, he didn't expect Mei Gao to turn the spearhead on him.He looked at the emperor in embarrassment.The emperor frowned even tighter, his anger hidden.Meigao played tricks in front of him, which made him very uncomfortable.However, he didn't get angry, and he gave Cao Shi a wink, indicating that it's okay to speak up.

Cao Shi thought about it. "The prince of Nanyue lacks etiquette, behaves frivolously, and is not respectful enough to the court."

The emperor was stunned.He had met Zhao Yingqi and felt that Zhao Yingqi was very submissive. Why was Zhao Yingqi different in Cao Shi's eyes?He immediately realized that what Mei Gao said was probably not just talking about it, Nanyue was not as completely surrendered as he imagined.Now that the flood in Shandong is not level, and the imperial court is going to use troops in Hexi, the food gap needs to be supplemented by rice from South Vietnam. If something happens to South Vietnam, the impact will be not small.

Thinking of this, the emperor became restless. "Tell me, what happened to South Vietnam."

"Your Majesty, there is an element of trickery in being able to pacify Liangyue this time." Mei Gao was not polite, and cut straight to the point. "Fujian and Yue destroyed the country, on the one hand, it was because they did not expect our army to launch an attack from the sea, on the other hand, it was also because their main force was pinned down in Zhangpu, and the rescue was too late. The reason for the surrender of South Vietnam was different. I The powerful military might of the army is an important reason, but Nanyue knows little about our court, and being frightened is also a key that cannot be ignored. Now that the prince of Nanyue has entered the court, they already know our reality, will there be another Ideas are inevitable."

Tianzi blinked. "Are they frightened?"

"That's right, one is that our army has pacified Minyue like a broken bamboo, and the other is that our army defeated the main force of Minyue led by Yu Shan with a small force. Especially the latter, Zhao Yingqi saw it with his own eyes."

The Son of Heaven scratched his head, and when he came to his senses, he couldn't help but laugh.He always thought that Nanyue's surrender was due to his lack of strength, but now that he thinks about it, it's probably not the case. There are many coincidences in it.Among other things, in the battle of Zhangpu, although the strength of the Han army was limited, the two generals who fought in the battle were the best combination that the big Han can produce today.

One is Liang Xiao, and the other is Wei Qing, both are young generals who are famous for riding battles.Now that Liang Xiao is "recovering from his illness" on Lushan Mountain, Wei Qing is going to march west with Cao Shi. If there is a change in South Vietnam, can he still send such a combination?
Will South Vietnam change?The more the emperor thought about it, the more disturbed he became.Although the prince of Nanyue has already arrived in Chang'an, Yan An, the envoy to Nanyue, has not returned yet. It can be seen that things in Nanyue are not going well, at least not as smooth as he thought.

In fact, they all knew that Nanyue's strength was by no means comparable to that of Minyue, otherwise Wang Hui would not have looked at Nanyue's piece of fat and refused to take it.

"In this way, stabilizing the southeast is indeed a top priority." The emperor let out a sigh of relief, still hesitating. "However, how can we stabilize the southeast? Is it the best choice to relocate the feudal clan? Could it be drinking poison to quench thirst?"

Cao Shi closed his mouth tightly and remained silent.

The emperor didn't count on him either, and turned his attention to Mei Gao.Mei Gao straightened his waist slowly, stretched out one hand, and spread five fingers. "Your Majesty, the clan is siblings. If you can't even trust your own siblings, who else can your Majesty trust?"

"That being said, when Emperor Gao granted Liu Bi to Wu, it caused a lot of misfortune. The terrain of Fujian and Yue is dangerous, just in case..."

"The terrain of Minyue is dangerous, but Minyue is full of hills and ravines, and the arable land is limited. Compared with Huainan, what is Minyue worth worrying about?" Mei Gao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in terms of threats, I am afraid that the threat of Nanyue is even greater than that of Minyue. Many. Taking a step back, His Majesty can also control several important passes, even if King Huainan has a different heart, how much trouble can a mere scholar cause?"
