Chapter 163 Protection
"I haven't seen Xiaojun in a while, how is it doing? Is the training of soldiers and horses quite strong? ”
"And Mingguang, how about the skills I taught you? Now that I'm on the battlefield, is it possible to be a thousand, haha. ”
The three men in battle armor sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted, because they had just returned, so the three generals who fought on the battlefield did not remove their armor, even if His Majesty the First Emperor had already changed into T-shirts at home, but Meng Tian and the three of them were still wearing heavy armor, probably because they could find a common language in this way.
Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, not only Huo Qubing and Meng Tian they were picked up by Huang Xiaowei, Chu Mengyao and Zhao Xiaofei also came, and Huang Xiaowei and their family were so lively for the first time in more than a year.
Chu Mengyao and Zhao Xiaofei knew that they couldn't interject these men to speak, so they consciously went to the kitchen to help out.
As a result, it took less than ten minutes to be kicked out by Dongfang Qing, Chu Mengyao said that after all, foodies can distinguish between salt and sugar, but Zhao Xiaofei, a noble lady who doesn't touch onion water with her fingers, can't do it, and her eyes are black when she enters the kitchen, and in just ten minutes, the two of them broke six plates...... In order to avoid the big guys eating pilaf tonight, Dongfang Qing politely invited the two young ladies out.
Chu Mengyao and Zhao Xiaofei had no choice, so they had to sit on the sofa again, look at their own men, talk about the battlefield and fight.
Hearing Meng Tian's concerned inquiry, Qian Mingguang took off the helmet on his head, revealing the bun under it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, since the end of the Second Battle of Hexi, these days, except for the border pass, where Yi Zhixie brought people to attack, there has been no war, and my brother-in-law and I have been training the new army these days." ”
Qian Mingguang was more restrained, after all, he was not too familiar with Huang Xiaowei's family, Huo Quzhi didn't care so much, patted Meng Tian on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Meng, I have been idle in the military camp in Chang'an City recently, and I am training soldiers and horses and training new troops all day long, hey, you are not short of people there, to put it simply, I will immediately bring 20,000 soldiers and horses to help you fight, and by the way, let that group of recruits see blood, and the province will go to the battlefield when the time comes." ”
"You kid, just say that your hands are itchy, and let the recruits see blood? I don't believe that you kid can really be so honest, Liu Che asked you to train the new army in Chang'an, you will train the new army honestly, let's put it bluntly, did you sneak people out of the fortress to fight with the Huns these days? Speaking of this, Meng Tian frowned vigorously, then reached out and rubbed Huo Quai's slender hair, and said with a smile: "You two stinky boys, I can smell the smell of blood from afar." ”
Huo Quzhi and Qian Mingguang smiled, "Brother Meng, I accidentally let you see, it is true that we have been idle in Chang'an City for the past few days, and directly brought eight thousand new troops out of the fortress to fight with the soldiers and horses under the command of King Zuoxian, and Little Viagra directly brought us back from outside the fortress." ”
Liu Bei Cao Cao sat on the side of the sofa with a teacup at this time, listening to Huo Quai's words, the two old men frowned in unison, and asked with a heavy face: "Xiaojun, you just said that you secretly took people out of the fortress to fight the Huns?" ”
Huo Quzhi didn't care and said: "Yes, oops, Grandpa Cao and Grandpa Liu, I can't help it, Your Majesty has not allowed me to use the army in the past two years, I am almost crazy, not only me, but my brothers are also going crazy, so I simply took them out of Chang'an and went straight to King Zuoxian, but the subordinates under the command of King Zuo Xian are too wasteful, and my soldiers and horses have just had less contact with him, and he ......"
Huo Quzhi was talking eloquently showing off his great exploits, but unexpectedly, Liu Bei Cao Cao put the teacup in his hand on the table at the same time, "Nonsense!" ”
Liu Bei Cao Cao's scolding suddenly broke the lively atmosphere just now, and everyone subconsciously closed their mouths, don't look at the two old men who usually laugh and laugh, but they are really angry, and no one in the family dares to do it against them.
After all, it is Liu Bei and Cao Cao, after all, they are two heroes, and most of the people here are juniors, and half of the people in this room can be regarded as having studied with them, and they are all students of the two old men.
Who of them dares not to listen to Liu Bei and Cao Cao's words.
Putting down the teacup, Liu Bei reprimanded Huo Qubing very unceremoniously, "Xiaojun, how many times have we told you, you are not only a general, but also a courtier of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu has to listen to whatever he says, how can you lead troops out of the fortress to fight the Huns without authorization?" Let me ask you, does Your Majesty know about this? Let me ask you again if you received a decree from Your Majesty before you left, no, you don't need a decree, even a verbal decree. ”
Hehe, this Liu Bei called Liu Che His Majesty, and put on such a respectful look...... Although it is not very harmonious, there is nothing to say, after all, Liu Bei is a member of the Han family, and he has nothing to say about Liu Che's attitude, but then this person ......
I don't know how embarrassed he was to say this.
After Liu Bei finished speaking, Huo Quzhi put on an unruly look, but he didn't dare to fight against the two old men, so he had to lower his head, and said very angrily: "No, nothing, I asked people to tell Your Majesty before I left that I would lead the troops out of the fortress, and I didn't care about the rest." ”
"Nonsense!" As soon as Huo Quai's words fell, Cao Cao patted the table angrily, pointing to Huo Quai, who had not yet realized that he had done something wrong.
"Xiaojun, how many times have I told you, in Dahan, Your Majesty is everything! Your Majesty is the heaven of our courtiers! Even if you want to lead the troops out of the fortress, you must say hello to him in advance, and if he does not agree, you must not act so perversely! ”
"Do you know what you're doing this? At the very least, it is said that you want to protect the family and defend the country and train the soldiers, but at the very least, you are against the holy will and use the military power privately, which is a big crime that will punish the nine clans! ”
Because the old man was so angry, he was so angry that he was even trembling with his hand pointing at Huo Quai.
Having said that, I really don't know how embarrassed Lao Cao was to educate Huo Quai.
In Dahan, Your Majesty is everything, and Your Majesty is the heaven of our courtiers! This sentence makes Dong Zhongshu or Wei Qing have no problem, even if it is Liu Bei, but it was Cao Cao, an embarrassing person, who said this...... I really want to ask Lao Cao weakly, this majesty is everything, this majesty is your heaven, and the emperor who dares to ask you is in your hands......
Alas, don't talk about it, if Cao Cao can catch up with the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, if Cao Cao was born in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, his achievements will not be much lower than Huo Quai's, but who let him be born in the troubled times, and who made him Cao Mengde in the troubled times.
At first, Cao Cao's words touched Huo Quai's illness, but later, when he heard the three words of the Jiu clan, Huo Quzhi's face was almost full of a few big words, and he was very prevaricating and fighting with Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
"Grandpa Cao, Grandpa Liu, I know that what I did this time is wrong, I will definitely change it next time, but the Nine Clans ....... Scold? Huo Quzhi smiled lightly, "Your Majesty is crazy to kill me, you don't know our relationship now, my uncle-in-law is good to me." ”
Huo Qubing raised his hand and said proudly: "Besides, I, Huo Quai, went out to conquer Monan, fought in Hexi, and finally recovered the entire land of Hexi in one fell swoop, and also surrendered 40,000 Hun troops, such a great achievement, even if Your Majesty wants to take away my military power one day, he will definitely make me an idle marquis, how can he attack me?" And you may not know Your Majesty, but he is really good to me. ”
Cao Cao Liu Bei's eyes dimmed, Liu Che is really good to you? Hehe, is that so? Is that really the case?
Liu Che, that's Liu Che! It is true that he may be very good to you now, but do you understand this kind of imperial power? It can be said that he is putting up with you!
As for your credit, yes, your credit is great, but don't you think it's too much!
"Xiaojun, haven't you learned a lesson from what happened last time? Subdued Hexi, and received the great merit of surrendering the evil king, Liu Che only gave you 2,000 households of food, don't you know what is wrong? Cao Cao and Liu Bei looked at Huo Quzhi very gloomily and said.
Hearing this, Huo Qu's face was sick, "It's a big deal, next time, I'm not so impulsive." ”
"There's another time!" Liu Bei and Cao Cao almost fainted in anger.
Qian Mingguang saw that the situation was not right, so he hurriedly started a round, but he had been with Huo Quzhi for a long time, and Qian Mingguang couldn't help but be contaminated with a lot of Huo Quai's style.
"Grandpa Cao, Grandpa Liu, don't be angry, the general must have his considerations for doing this, you may not know, when we led the troops out of Chang'an and rushed to the border fortress, there was not a single Han official and border guard along the way who dared to stop us, especially the border guard did not ask us for His Majesty's holy decree at all."
"Is this something you don't want to do?" Liu Bei and Cao Cao were really about to be killed by Huo Quzhi and Qian Mingguang.
Fortunately, Huo Quzhi also understood the inappropriateness of his trip from Liu Bei and Cao Cao's words, and immediately got up from the sofa and bowed his hand to the two old men, "It's me who did it wrong, Grandpa Liu and Grandpa Cao, don't be angry with me, it's a big deal to wait for me to go back to Dahan and make amends to Your Majesty." ”
Liu Bei Cao Cao's face softened a lot, Cao Cao snorted coldly, turned his head and didn't want to talk nonsense with Huo Quai, mainly because the old man was afraid that he would be angry to death, so Liu Bei simply took over the conversation and continued to educate Huo Quai.
"Xiaojun, it's good that you know you're wrong, when you return to the Han Dynasty, you immediately go to your majesty to make amends, remember, be coquettish, and put on a child's appearance, so that Your Majesty shouldn't worry about you, no matter how you say that you are now also a hussar general of the Han Dynasty, and, let me ask you, I told you before, when you stay in Chang'an, you are not allowed to participate in the early dynasty, nor are you allowed to discuss the government of the court, let alone the affairs of the prince and the Wei family, have you done so?"
This time, Huo Qu didn't shake his head when he was sick, but nodded obediently and said: "Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Cao, don't worry, I haven't participated in the early court for more than a year, it's not that I don't want to go, but His Majesty didn't let me go, so he asked me to train the new army, saying that I don't have to worry about the affairs of the court." ”
After listening to Huo Quai's words, Liu Bei and Cao Cao invariably breathed a sigh of relief, and they also felt a little grateful to Liu Che.
Don't let Huo Qubing go to the court, alas, it's really thanks to the protection of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it seems that he also knows that Huo Quai's temperament can't contact the court and some shady things at all, Liu Che is also protecting Huo Qubing in disguise.
Very good, very good, so that the small army is probably ...... Alas, it is not known how long this protection will last.
