Seeing Empress Chen, the emperor was somewhat surprised.

"Your Majesty is so happy, I believe there will be another good news." Empress Chen greeted her with a smile. "I am stupid by nature and cannot share your worries. So I asked my mother to make some of His Majesty's favorite snacks when she was a child, and I asked His Majesty to taste them."

The emperor raised his eyelids, remembered the happy time of childhood sweethearts, and swallowed the refusal that had flowed to his mouth. He called out, "Don't be polite to you, come and taste it."

Yan Zhu, Wuqiu Shouwang and others put away their smiles, stepped forward respectfully, took one piece, held it in their mouths, and chewed it silently. They were all close ministers of the emperor. After knowing that the Empress Dowager passed away, their mother and daughter had fallen out of favor. Now Wei Zifu is the most beloved woman of the emperor. The queen has no son, and no matter what she does, it will not be able to win back the emperor's will, and it will only arouse the emperor's disgust, especially at this critical moment.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit awkward, and Queen Chen also saw it and was at a loss for a moment. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do the soldiers need a lot of rewards after winning the battle?"

The emperor knew the elegance when he heard the string sound, and his eyes turned cold, and he smiled faintly: "The court has made arrangements long ago, so you don't have to worry."

Before the queen could say anything, she was blocked by the emperor and was depressed. She didn't know how to say it for a moment. She walked around the silk handkerchief in her hand, and saw that the emperor looked at him with an unhappy look, so she had to laugh twice and retreated in a bad mood.

A cheerful laughter rang out in the hall again. Queen Chen could hear it clearly outside the hall and glanced at the Yeting in the distance. Thinking of Wei Zifu, who had just given birth to a daughter and now pregnant, was so angry that she couldn't help but shed tears.

A golden house hides a charm. If there is no one around you, what's the point of even if the house is golden?

The emperor put the matter of Queen Chen aside and continued to discuss the war ahead with Yan Zhu and others. Li Guang defeated King Aries, and now the Huns in Senei are only 20,000 cavalry of King Lofan. The Han army has an absolute advantage in military strength. If nothing unexpected happens, this battle will definitely be a complete victory.

It can be said that the biggest difficulties have passed, and subsequent related matters should be considered next. Offering prisoners to sacrifice to temples, rewards of military merit, immigrating to the border, and arranging border defenses, responding to the counterattack of the Huns are all major events that must be put on the agenda as soon as possible and cannot be delayed.

The emperor arranged one by one, raised his finger from time to time and pointed it out. Yan Zhu and others wrote it down one by one, preparing to contact the Prime Minister's Office. If Prime Minister Tian Fu has any objections, they must also be responsible for explaining and refuting, and must let Tian Fu accept it and act according to the order.

This is not an easy task. It is true that Tian Fu is the emperor's uncle, but he is not a fool. He will not easily let the emperor deprive him of his rights. In order to avoid tearing his face, the emperor will not negotiate directly with Tian Fu, and these tasks can only be carried out by them.

After arranging dozens of matters in one breath, the emperor let out a long sigh, raised his head, looked at Yan Zhu and others. "Tell me, should we conquer Hexi, or should we move to Yunzhong and Yanmen to directly take over the Xiongnu royal court?"

King Wuqiu Shou said: "In the opinion of my ministers, it is better to take Hexi first. As Liang Xiao said, Hexi is a place for raising horses, and it can directly connect to the Western Regions. King Hunxi was killed in front and King Xiu Tu surrendered in the latter. Now the strength of the Huns in Hexi has been greatly reduced, which is the best time for our great Han to open up the Western Regions."

The emperor's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Yan Zhu again. Yan Zhu remained silent and thoughtful. The emperor chuckled and said, "Yan Zhu, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think that we should advance together with Yunzhong, Yanmen as the main one, and Hexi as the auxiliary one."

The emperor pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Why?"

"The Shanyu was the head of the Huns. If the Shanyu did not die, no matter how many tribal kings were killed, it would not be possible to finally solve the problem of the Huns. This is one of them. The Shanyu royal court faced the Han Han and could go to Chang'an every night. It was a confidant problem, but the distance between Hexi was just a confidant disease. How could he ignore it and solve the disease of the brothers and feet first? This is the second. This is the main generals, including Han Anguo, Cheng Bushi, Li Guang and other senior generals. In addition to Liang Xiao, Wei Qing, Gongsun He and others, who were enough to deal with the wars between the two groups. Why should one be responsible for one person..."

Before Yan Zhu finished speaking, King Wuqiu Shou regretted it. He was anxious to express his opinion, but forgot a crucial question. How could the emperor hand over tens of thousands of elite soldiers to one person? This time he was determined to win. The emperor all entrusted three veterans and sent young generals such as Liang Xiao and Wei Qing as deputy, because he was afraid that a certain general would be respectful and would not lose his tail.

When the main force went to Hexi, Liang Xiao was the best candidate. He was the person who knew the situation in the Western Regions best. This time he made great contributions. The emperor never gave up and used the principles of others. However, in this way, Liang Xiao was not a blessing for the country.

In contrast, Yan Zhu's suggestions were much more stable, using Liang Xiao's ability and Wei Qing to check and balance him, so as not to let him take charge of military power alone. In comparison, Wei Qing is of course more reliable than Liang Xiao.

While Wu Qiu Shou, King Qiu Shou secretly regretted, racked his brains to make up for his mistakes. The emperor saw it and didn't say much, but he couldn't help but feel proud of his own way of governing his ministers. Neither civil officials nor military generals could let them dominate. They had to compete with each other so that they could sit firmly on the high platform and control them calmly.

Liang Xiao jumped off the horse, wiped the blood of the sword on his sleeve, and gasped for two heavy breaths.

Pang Shuo handed the water bag, Liang Xiao took it and drank a big mouthful of water. The cold water pierced his throat and made him smack his lips, and suddenly he felt a little sad. When Sigma was with him, no matter when he wanted to drink water, it was warm water. It would never be this kind of bitingly cold water.

"What's wrong?" Tu Niuer felt that Liang Xiao was in a bad mood and asked quickly: "Are you injured?"

"No, I'm just a little tired." Liang Xiao gave out a strong breath, shook his head again, cheering himself up. "Immediately interrogate the prisoners to see if there is any new situation."

"I understand." Tu Niuer looked at Liang Xiao suspiciously, but did not ask again. "Old Xie has gone. He likes to torture people the most and asks him to interrogate, and there is nothing he can't help."

"This guy..." Liang Xiao grinned. He also knew what Xie Guanglong's temper was. Perhaps he had often gone deep into the Huns to investigate the situation and needed to dig out more things from the prisoners as much as possible. He developed the habit of using torture. If the prisoners were stubborn, they would even draw their mother's measurements in less than half an hour.

Tu Niuer followed and whispered: "I said A Xiao, this war is over, should he be allowed to become an official?"

Liang Xiao turned around and looked at him. "Why, Lao Xie wants to go solo?"

"It's not like flying alone. Just leaving your hometown, who doesn't want to return home in glory? Lao Xie was a Sima at the beginning, and he followed you so far. If you can't get promoted and make a fortune, how can you have the attitude to go home to meet people?"

"I understand." Liang Xiao nodded, not surprised. He came out and tried his best. How many people didn't think so? "I have reported his military achievements, and this time I will definitely let him go home with a glorious look."

"Okay, I'll find a chance to tell him so that he won't be uneasy, just be afraid that you will forget him."

"Look at his promising prospects." Liang Xiao spitted, laughed and cursed twice, and walked towards Li Guang's central army.

Thirty thousand infantry and cavalry traveled westward, and along the way, we encountered many scattered soldiers from the Aries King's tribe, with a large number of thousands and a small number of dozens of people. In front of the overwhelming Han army, these Huns had no courage to resist at all. Some of them fled in the wind, while others simply surrendered and turned to serve the Han army and demanded a meal.

They were defeated by the Han army and lost all their supplies. They wanted to go home to hide for a few days, but who would have thought that their hometown had been cleaned by Liang Xiao and others. They looked all over, and there was only blood and corpses. Not only did they have accumulated wealth for many years swept away, but even winter became a problem. In the face of survival, surrendering to the Han people became one of the few choices.

In order to change the food, these Huns turned to massacre their former compatriots, killing people even more cruel than the Han people. They rushed out hundreds of miles in one breath in order to have more than a dozen heads. In just two days, nearly a thousand Huns lost their heads.

It’s just a pity that so far, the Aries King has not been caught. This guy fled into the depths of the grassland and has nowhere to go.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Xie Guanglong rushed up. Liang Xiao turned his head and looked at him, a little unhappy. This guy was too anxious.

"The commander, there is bad news." Xie Guanglong did not notice Liang Xiao's face, blocked in front of Liang Xiao, and whispered: "The Xiongnu Shanyu is coming."

Liang Xiao was shocked. "Take it serious? How many people are there?"

"It shouldn't be fake. I asked a few prisoners. Although the troops were inconsistent, they all confirmed the news."

Liang Xiao took two steps back and forth. "How long will it take to arrive?"

"If the Huns are fast, they will be fast, and they will be there any time they say it, and it will only take one or two days to slow down."

Liang Xiao nodded and waved his hand. "You continue to interrogate and make sure to clarify the situation. I'll go find General Li and General Cheng."

Xie Guanglong responded, turned around and left. Liang Xiao did not dare to be negligent, so he found Li Guang and told him the news. Li Guang was also surprised and immediately asked someone to invite Cheng Bushi to discuss together.

"Old Cheng, what do you think you should do?"

Cheng Bushi stared at the map, was silent for a while, slowly raised his head, and a rare wildness appeared in his eyes. He clenched his fists and shook them hard. "Old Li, Bo Ming, how many thousand households can the head of the Xiongnu Shanyu be sealed?"

Liang Xiao and Li Guang exchanged a look and laughed at the same time. "If you don't have less, you have to have two thousand households."

"Okay, these two thousand households belong to me." Cheng Buzhi looked fierce. "You go to the King of Duloufan, and Shanyu will give it to me. I dare not say that if you have too many, I promise you will not have any worries within five days."

Li Guang stood up and patted Cheng Buzhi's shoulder hard. "Old Cheng, it won't take five days. As long as you can hold on for three days, Mr. Han and I can solve the problem of King Loufan and come to meet you." -
