Liu Xiu went to look for Zhuo Wenjun in tears.
After all, you are still a child. When you are sad, you naturally look for someone who treats you well first.
Li Yunze is either busy at work or running around outside, and he doesn't even have many opportunities to meet him. Naturally, the only person who has been with him all year round in the past few years is Zhuo Wenjun.
"What's going on here?"
Zhuo Wenjun, who was chatting with the ladies who entered the palace, suddenly felt bad when he saw Liu Xiu coming in with tears in his eyes.
She lived in the palace all year round, and Li Yunze basically saw no one except at night, so he naturally focused all his energy on the child.
Seeing Liu Xiu being bullied, is this okay?
He quickly stepped forward and hugged Liu Xiu in his arms. Zhuo Wenjun wiped his tears sadly and said, "Who bullied you?"
"It's Huo Qubing."
Upon hearing this name, the anger on Zhuo Wenjun's face instantly disappeared.
They are all children of about the same age, and it looks like they are just fighting among themselves, so naturally there is nothing much to say.
Zhuo Wenjun breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Liu Xiu, "Are you making trouble again?"
"No." Liu Xiu choked and said, "Father asked Huo Qubing to beat me."
"Your Majesty is back?"
Zhuo Wenjun was surprised, "When?"
Seeing that her mother's focus was not on her, Liu Xiu could only use her unique trick and cry even louder.
Zhuo Wenjun had no choice but to comfort him with kind words.
There are two minor masters in Weiyang Palace, one is Liu Xiu and the other is Liu Zhi.
But besides the two brothers, there were two other reading companions.
One is the former general, Mr. Wei, the son of Changping Hou Wei Qing, and the other is Wei Qing's nephew Huo Qubing.
The status of Mr. and Mrs. Wei is high enough. After all, since Zhou Yafu and others gradually retired, Wei Qing has become the number one person in the Han military.
His eldest son, Mr. Wei, will succeed the Marquis of Changping in the future, so his status in the palace is naturally not low.
But Huo Qubing's mother was originally just a concubine in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and his father was a small official in Pingyang County. With such status, he was able to enter the palace as a companion and enjoy the same learning resources and treatment as the prince. , it’s really puzzling.
What she didn't know was that Huo Qubing's background in history was even worse. He was an illegitimate child with no identity. This life was really much better. At least his parents were by his side. Even Huo Zhongru found a job in Jingzhao Mansion. Do.
Logically speaking, Huo Qubing had the lowest status among the children. He was supposed to be a follower and a being who was bullied.
But this kid has been restless since he was a child. He is bold and does anything he dares not to do, and there is a hint of unruliness in his eyes.
What's even more exaggerated is that His Majesty values this boy very much. Not only does he provide him with the same resources, but he also specifically tells him that no one can harm Huo Qubing openly or covertly. If he does, he will be punished by the clan.
Not only that, but now he is even encouraged to beat his own son, Xiu'er is the eldest son.
If she hadn't known that the emperor would never do anything bad and was always daring to do anything, she would have doubted whether Huo Qubing was the emperor's seed left outside.
"The more powerful the Wei family becomes." Zhuo Wenjun's sister came forward and whispered in Zhuo Wenjun's ear, "I'm afraid that King Jin will have second thoughts in the future, so the queen should be careful."
Zhuo Wenjun looked at the clan sister in surprise. After a moment, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then said seriously, "Such words must never be heard by others in the future."
A few years ago, when Li Yunze was engaged in the salt and iron franchise, the Zhuo family, as the largest iron merchant in Shu County, could not escape the disaster.
Before Zhi Du entered Shu County, Li Yunze specially sent Zhang Ou to Shu County to tell Zhuo Wangsun to take the initiative, so as not to make things look ugly when Zhi Du entered Shu County.
When other people's daughters become queens, they are granted kingships and marquisships, and the whole family follows the chickens and dogs to heaven.
But when his daughter became the queen, she couldn't even keep her family's wealth. This made Zhuo Wangsun so angry that he fell ill.
However, it was useless to do anything. The emperor did not even spare his own relatives. How many of those princes had been killed. How could relatives like the Zhuo family dare to explode.
In the end, the Zhuo family could only accept the 'goodwill' from the emperor, and after collecting a certain amount of compensation, they took the initiative to hand over all their property.
Then the entire Zhu family and even the whole clan moved collectively from Shu County to live in Chang'an New City.
Because I had money, I participated in the construction of new cities and engaged in real estate development, and gradually regained my strength.
The men in the clan are all running businesses outside to make money, and these women hang out here and there to spend time when they have nothing to do. As the queen, Zhuo Wenjun's place is naturally the most popular place.
Zhuo Wenjun was very happy that his family could move here.
It is precisely because of this that he told this clan sister who did not understand formality, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to the Wei family and Huo Qubing, and you must not have such an idea."
When the Zhuo family came to Chang'an City, they placed their hopes on Liu Xiu, the eldest son of the emperor. Naturally, they were extremely wary of Mrs. Wei's Wei family, and they naturally regarded him as their opponent in their words.
But Zhuo Wenjun, as Li Yunze's bedfellow, knew very well that Li Yunze was by no means a person who valued affection and righteousness. If something happened to ruin his affairs, not to mention the Zhuo family, he would even be in trouble with Xiu'er's family. Your position is at risk.
So what Zhuo Wenjun wants to do is not to avenge Liu Xiu or go to the Wei family to cause trouble, but to persuade the family members not to cause trouble. Today, he is not a good person who eats fast and chants Buddha's name.
Li Yunze naturally had no time to pay attention to such matters. After dinner, he summoned Wei Qing to Xuanshi Hall to discuss the war.
"I intend to send troops to North Korea."
Seeing Wei Qing, Li Yunze didn't exchange much greetings and started talking directly.
"Your Majesty." Wei Qing was overjoyed and saluted immediately, "I am willing to defeat the enemy for Your Majesty."
Li Yunze originally planned to let Wei Qing take charge, otherwise he would not have approached him to discuss this matter.
Korea first appeared when King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty.
At that time, Shang Zhou wanted to reform the government and abolish the power of feudal nobles in various places, so as to centralize power.
It's just that he was unlucky. After being deceived, he sent his main army to the east to attack Dongyi. Then Ji Chang secretly colluded with the nobles who were dissatisfied with King Zhou's concentration of power and successfully stole their homes, leading to his death and the destruction of the country.
Although the Shang Kingdom was destroyed, the merchants were not extinct.
Especially since its main army is still there, it just lost its capital and king.
In view of this, Ji Chang appeased the survivors of the Shang Dynasty and placed them in various feudal states.
Among them, King Zhou's uncle Jizi was one of the three sages named after Bigan and Weizi. After being released by Ji Chang, he moved to North Korea with a group of merchants and established the Jizi North Korea state there. .
Jizi North Korea stayed away from the disputes in the Central Plains for hundreds of years. It was not surrendered until the period of King Yan Zhao, who surrendered to Yan and became a vassal state.
Later, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos. King Lu Wan of Yan betrayed the Han Dynasty and fled to the Huns.
There was a general named Weiman under Lu Wan, who took some people to North Korea, destroyed Jizi North Korea, and established the Weiman North Korea.
There is no doubt that Weiman Korea was hostile to the Han Dynasty and was an important vassal state of the Huns in the east. It was at least much stronger than the small countries in the Western Regions.
Li Yunze wanted to destroy the entire North Korea, which on the one hand meant breaking the wings of the Xiongnu.
On the other hand, he was preparing to fulfill his original promise, release Liu She who had been imprisoned for a long time, and arrange for him to go to North Korea to become king.
Naturally, the land of Middle-earth cannot retain feudal kings, but overseas borders and distant places can.
As long as the sons of the Han family can be spread all over the world, Li Yunze doesn't care even if future generations are overthrown.
Li Yunze asked Wei Qing, "What are your plans?"
Wei Qing hasn't gone on an expedition in the past few years, but it's not like he stayed in the mansion all day panting with Princess Pingyang.
As the former Commander-in-Chief of the Military Governor's Mansion, he was actually in charge of the entire Governor's Mansion, yet he still came on duty on time.
When I'm on duty, I don't spend a whole day with a cup of tea, a newspaper, but a serious study of the map, taking the information and planning to fight here and there.
The Huns are naturally the most studied, and there are so many various fighting methods recorded on paper that they cannot be contained in a box.
However, none of the countries surrounding the Han Dynasty were left behind.
For example, here in Weiman North Korea, Wei Qing has naturally studied the fighting style before, and he also updated his combat plan according to the big man's constantly updated strength.
The initial battle plan was to attack from land, but with the huge role of the navy in pacifying Mitsukoshi, Wei Qing's battle plan here naturally included the navy.
"If it's safe, we should gather heavy troops out of the Beiping areas on the right and go all the way eastward to North Korea."
Li Yunze simply asked, "Tell me in detail."
"You can only recruit 100,000 regular soldiers and recruit more than 200,000 civilians." Wei Qing explained, "You don't need so many to destroy North Korea. They are mainly used to guard the transportation lines and prevent the Huns from attacking. Moreover, the local area is densely covered with rivers and swamps. . Without enough people, it may not be possible."
In this era, the Northeast has not yet undergone large-scale development.
The so-called black soil is essentially rotten vegetation, and its predecessor was a mud swamp.
The swamps were drained, leaving behind black earth.
And the terrain of the swamp is naturally extremely difficult to march, and it may even be impossible to get through at all, so we can only take a detour.
But there are terrains like this almost everywhere here, and it’s not easy to take a detour.
Not to mention that there are large areas of dense forests and grass on the road, which are very unfavorable terrain for the movement of the army.
The civilians responsible for road construction and transportation may lose more than half.
Li Yunze knows all these things. He himself has encountered such difficult places many times.
Nodding, Li Yunze asked again, "Is there any other way to fight?"
"yes."
Wei Qing said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I thought that the navy would transport troops and horses, cross the sea and go straight out of the Datong River to land. After landing, it is only a hundred miles away, and we will reach Wangxian City!"
It was obvious that Wei Qing had learned from Gongsun Ao's tactics to pacify Mitsukoshi, and planned to march directly to the city, bypassing various difficulties and obstacles, and destroy his country in one battle.
As long as the capital is breached and the civil and military nobles are captured, in this era, it is basically the end of the war.
After hearing this set of combat intentions, Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction.
"Can."
