"Ah! Liu Qi, you can't do this to me. If my father knew about it, he would definitely...ah!"
No matter how much Liu Yin screamed, Liu Qi seemed not to hear him.
He turned around and glanced at Yan Wenhu, which made the guy tremble all over with fear.
Just when he thought he was finished, Liu Qi slowly walked towards Wood.
This time, the conversation was obviously much softer.
"General, I made you laugh."
Now that Wood's attitude has changed, Liu Qi naturally has no need to show off.
Wood cupped his hands.
"I...I don't dare."
Not only did he say this with his mouth, but he also thought so in his heart.
From the battle of Pingbeiguan to now, Wood was completely convinced by the prince's methods.
He is just a young man in his prime, but all the ministers in the northern border are under his control.
After being a general of Daqing for so many years, apart from seeing such scheming and palaces in the late emperor, Liu Qi was definitely the second one.
It was said that his father was respectful to him when he came to the north, but this boy showed no courtesy to himself, an old minister.
But even so, what he did was extremely beautiful. With this, even if he didn't say a soft word, he was able to make the whole army completely impressed by this young prince.
You know, since Emperor Qing took the throne, the northern border has never been truly peaceful, and has always been in a vortex with the Huns.
As the general of the northern border, don't you feel angry? Of course there is, but without the imperial edict, even if he holds great power, he would not dare to act easily.
Where is this guy?
It can be said that as soon as it came, it turned the entire northern border upside down.
He did all the things that Wood dared to think but did not dare to do.
The most important thing is that he actually did it when everyone was disapproving of him.
Not only did he and General Han Zhong make great achievements, they hindered the invasion of the Xiongnu army.
Moreover, he personally led a few soldiers and horses to destroy the Xiongnu's plan to cooperate with the Kingdom of India.
Although the fighting power of the Kingdom of Yin is not enough for Daqing, there are still 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Xiongnu.
He is really courageous. Even a veteran who has experienced many battles may not be completely sure.
But even so, this kid still has no hesitation.
This courage alone is enough to be admired by myself and the generals.
"General Wood, please come into the city with me. I have other important matters to discuss with you."
Later, Liu Qi came to Han Zhong and thanked him.
If it weren't for this veteran general, Liu Qi wouldn't have been able to hold on to anyone who could temporarily resist the Huns' army.
Although it didn't last long, it could be said to be very dangerous.
The old general was righteous and did not care about his life. He was gambling with Liu Qi.
Just for this trust, Liu Qi couldn't help but feel grateful.
...
Then, under the leadership of Liu Qi, everyone entered Beiping City in a mighty manner.
I don’t know when the local officials received the news of Liu Qi’s victorious return in advance.
Not only the ministers stopped outside the door to greet him, but almost all the people in the city lined both sides of the road. Warmly welcome the return of the prince and Wood's army.
"Your Highness, why are they so excited?"
Zhao Wenhui was a little puzzled. Before the prince came here, he had never seen the people in such a state. He just won a battle, and the people's attitudes had changed too much.
"It's desire."
"eager?"
"For the people in the north, they only know that the Huns are their biggest enemy. Since the peace of Daqing, the people have suffered from the Huns for a long time."
"The long-term Xiongnu harassment has made the people numb. They feel that this is the attitude of the court. Even if I come here, I feel that it is just a formality."
"Now, although it is only a small battle, it can let the people see that I, Daqing, will not tolerate the invading enemies. So, you understand, why the people are so excited. "
Zhao Wenhui nodded vaguely in understanding.
"Wen Hui, do you know why I won this time?"
"Well...you are the one who plans the strategy and deploys the troops well?"
Liu Qi smiled.
"No, it's public opinion."
"This is in line with the way of heaven mentioned by Lu Liang. What is the way of heaven, the people are the way of heaven. Whether it is Daqing or the country of Yin, what I do is just to comply with the people's will."
"But what the Huns and Saruman did was against the people's will. This was the root of their failure!"
"So, the biggest credit for this battle is not this king, but these people."
Zhao Wenhui's heart trembled. She had never heard anything like it.
Throughout the ages, any credit belongs to the superiors and has never had anything to do with the people.
What's more, this is the prince, and he belongs to the existence of one person.
Such achievements, if it were others, would be too late to take them, so how could they be given to the humble common people.
Moreover, from Liu Qi's words, he could feel that he really valued the people.
It can even be said that whether the war is won or not is all because of the people.
In Zhao Wenhui's mind, this was impossible for any king to achieve.
The most important thing for the royal family is status. How can it be compared with the humble common people.
In Zhao Wenhui's opinion, Liu Qi is the number one person who can have such a mentality and say such words.
When the motorcade stopped in front of the mansion, the prefect Wu Tianxu, accompanied by civil and military officials, came forward with a look of hospitality on his face.
"Your Highness, the banquet has been prepared and is waiting for you and the generals to wash away the dust."
However, Liu Qi waved his hand.
"There's no rush. I have to go to the drawing room first. I have important matters to discuss with the generals."
Such behavior made the ministers in the north look at him with admiration.
To say that he has made such a great contribution, most people would be impatient and come back to celebrate.
But Liu Qi was still thinking about government affairs.
Such a prince, why worry about not having a great celebration?
When Wood saw this, he felt even more guilty. Thinking about his previous words and deeds towards the prince, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
But we just arrived at the door of the hall. Liu Qi suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Master Li, I see that there is no need for you to attend this meeting. This is a matter of military affairs for me."
Li Shouting looked very embarrassed.
The dignified official of the imperial court turned into an outsider on this important occasion.
"Okay, just wait outside Weichen's door."
But just as he was about to enter, Liu Qi turned around again.
"Yan Wenhu, why did you follow me in? Are you worthy? Go and guard the door and don't let anyone get closer to the room!"
Yan Wenhu was stunned on the spot.
After all, he is also a captain general, but now, he is asked to do guard work.
Even though he was very dissatisfied, he did not dare to offend Liu Qi at this time. No temper at all. He could only nod his head angrily.
"I will obey your orders!"
At this point, Liu Qi brought several of his confidants, Qin Wei, Bai Qi, Lu Liang, Zhao Wenhui, and Wood and other generals into the living room.
The atmosphere was a little quiet, and no one knew what important matter the prince had brought everyone together to do.
Everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts, and they felt that what the prince was talking about must be about the next battle with the Huns.
However, when the prince opened his mouth, everyone was stunned for a few seconds, and then they were all horrified.
"Your Highness, are you kidding?"
"Your Highness, if you do this, it's too much fun."
"I have been a general for so many years. I don't even dare to think about such a thing!"
