Chapter 171 The admiration of Li Guang and his son, setting an ambush
"Outsiders!"
The emperor's voice exploded in Princess Longli's ears like thunder.
A little further away, the chamberlain Dong Xu quickly ran to the end of the corridor, not daring to stay near the emperor's study.
The emperor reprimanded Long Li, and if his words were inappropriate when it came to the clan, anyone who heard the emperor's words would risk losing their heads afterwards, so Zha Xu stayed away.
"The foreigners you call are my territory, our ancestors' inheritance, and the people of the Han Dynasty. We lead our troops to fight against foreigners, running thousands of miles late at night and staying awake for many days.
He and those outsiders you call, members of my great Han Dynasty, are willing to risk their lives to kill the enemy in front of the battle."
"My relatives are here in Chang'an, colluding with the enemy with news, and trying to kill the Han army fighting at the front. This is the outsider you call!"
There was a loud bang.
The dragon case in front of the emperor was smashed to pieces with his palm and collapsed into ashes all over the ground.
"Without the outsiders you call me, and without my thousands of soldiers guarding the border, how could you live comfortably in Chang'an and be your princess?
You are the princess of the Han Dynasty. The prerequisite is that the Han Dynasty is a Han Dynasty. Only in the Han Dynasty can you be the princess!
'Outsiders' are bent on fighting for the Han Dynasty. You are my kin, and you want to humiliate your mother in the rear and show off your prestige as a princess. You are my kin, and you collaborate with the enemy to cause chaos in the country. You are my kin, and you condone your son, Lord Zhaoping, to kill him.
Do you think I don’t know about killing slaves?
You are my kin, and you are destroying the foundation of my great nation behind my back!"
The emperor said a word, and Princess Longlu's complexion turned pale.
She did not succumb to the emperor's words, but felt the emperor's murderous intent and anger, and her body began to tremble.
She murmured: "He is a retainer of my Liu family, a retainer you raised since childhood. Shouldn't he serve you and be loyal to the Han Dynasty?
My son is your nephew, shouldn't you take care of him and just let him be bullied?
Longlu is my husband-in-law, you want to kill him?"
The emperor threw a scroll of memorials in his hand on Princess Longli's face: "Pingxian is also my sister, so is Qubing not his husband?
This file was delivered to me just now, and I am still hesitating on how to deal with you and Longli.
I didn’t want to kill him, but look at what he has done, everything is enough to kill him. And you..."
Princess Longli was hit in the face by a bamboo slip, and the huge force caused her to sit down on the ground.
She picked up the bamboo slips on the ground, opened them and looked at them, with a look of horror on her face: "This is not true, he is so... so... in the fiefdom... He would never dare to secretly help Huainan, someone must be harming him."<
/p>
The emperor waved his hand and said: "From today on, you are banned from Yongle Palace and will never leave the palace.
... From now on, there will be no Longxi lineage. If your son Zhaopingjun wants to make a difference in the future, let him serve as a subordinate under your so-called outsiders, fight with the army, and protect the family and the country."
Princess Longlu suddenly became excited: "No, you are going to kill Ji'er by letting him serve as a soldier under Huo Qubing."
"What a joke, Qubing is a great general of the country, how could he take your son so seriously and care so much about him?" the emperor said coldly.
"Your Majesty, Princess Pingyang wants to see you..." Dong Xu shouted from a distance, his voice trembling.
"Sister..." Princess Longli was slightly refreshed.
"Missing."
The emperor shouted angrily: "Go tell her and let her think more about her words and deeds."
Long Lufu sat down again and cried: "Emperor...maybe he will let Ji'er go? I am willing to spend all my family wealth. Your Majesty will still grant him an idle position, and I will leave Chang'an with him.
How about never coming home?"
The emperor waved his hand and asked people to take Princess Longli down.
In terms of how to deal with Long Ru, he was still seeking personal gain after all. If it had been anyone else, he would have been killed.
At this time, after Longxi was taken away, he would die of illness a few months later.
This is the trend of history, and his son will soon be beheaded for making another mistake, which is the same ending as in history.
The context of history is like a brand that goes deep into the world, affecting the direction of the world and the destiny of people all the time.
After Emperor Liu Che asked Princess Longli to be taken away, he came to the window with his hands behind his back, looked far away, and remained silent for a long time.

A school ground on the outskirts of the city.
When Huo Qubing came over, the troops on the school field were undergoing daily drills.
On the other side of the school grounds, according to what he said yesterday, those who want to join the army can come and try to accept the selection and join the army.
Those with a clean background, military strategists or martial arts practitioners, or those with excellent qualifications will be given priority.
If other factions want to become a military expert, they can also join the army.
Huo Qubing walked into the school grounds and looked at the soldiers who were training.
Thousands of troops gathered on the school field, and their energy and blood turned into smoke, forming a pillar of essence.
Some troops fought each other, and some threw stone chains as huge as hills at each other to hone their strength.
There are also soldiers who use their guns to pick up the locks of stone locks and hold them flat. They use the military aura in their bodies to cooperate with them to practice the smoothness and accuracy of the guns.
It is this kind of long-term training that trains the Han army's excellent obedience and fighting will.
When Huo Qubing entered the school grounds, all the Imperial Guards who saw him showed reverence, but no one stopped training. This is a manifestation of discipline. Training cannot be interrupted by anything.
"Lang Zhongling!"
On the school grounds, General Liu Yu, Zuo Zhonglang of the Guards Army, saw Huo Qubing approaching, and quickly walked forward with several generals.
He is a clan member and one of the few generals with military talent among the clan.
Liu Yu is thirty-six years old this year. He is in the prime of life, has a handsome appearance, a broad and straight forehead, and bright eyes.
Huo Qubing only brought his personal troops with him when he returned to Chang'an this time. Tong Xuan and Zhang Cigong were still at the border preparing for the war against Wuhuan. Liu Yu became the leading general under Li Gan among the remaining generals.
There are internal reasons why Huo Qubing was eager to attack Wuhuan and fought fiercely without end.
From a military point of view, the main force of the Xiongnu during this period was dormant in the far north. The tribes under the command of the Xiongnu general Judu have never shown their full picture, and the reality is unclear.
At least at this stage, it is impossible to continue to use troops against the main force of the Huns' central army.
Huo Qubing also discovered that the Xiongnu soldiers and horses also extended their tentacles into the eastern grasslands, and seemed to have the intention of annexing Wuhuan, Fuyu, and Xianbei.
Both the Han and Hungarian sides set their sights on other forces on the east and west ends.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This is a competition for strategic opportunities.
If you capture Wuhuan and other surrounding areas first, you will gain strategic initiative, so you must fight for it.
Only by wiping out the Wuhuan, Xianbei and other tribes, and then pacifying the Western Qiang and Baiyue, and annexing the Western Regions, and eating at least half of the Xiongnu's land, can the country reach a scale comparable to that of later generations. This is the first small goal Huo Qubing set for himself.<
/p>
There are too many things waiting for him to do.
For a legendary ‘account’ like Huo Qubing, if you don’t do more, I’m sorry for this identity and ability.
At this time, surrounded by Liu Yu and other generals, he came to the high platform at the other end of the school field.
"Half of the recruits selected by the Yulin Army and the Huben Guards were taken to Xiguan by Yao Zhao, and the rest were also transferred. Three days later, let them march to Beiguan.
In addition, the number of Chang'an Forbidden Army guarding the border in rotation must be increased, from 20,000 to at least 30,000 per year.
If they stay in Chang'an for a long time, the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army will decline. If the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army declines during my tenure as Lang Zhongling and is overtaken by the border troops, it will be a shame for me and all of you as generals."
When Liu Yu and other generals first heard that they were going to talk about guarding the border, they all looked bitter.
But when they heard Huo Qubing say that if the Imperial Army was overtaken by the border troops, it would be a disgrace to the generals, everyone became serious:
"We will never embarrass Lang Zhongling. Although the border army is commanded by the general, we are confident to suppress the border army. Our imperial army is the strongest army of the Han Dynasty.
Always!"
Huo Qubing: "Then increase the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army.
Although my uncle is in charge of the army, we won’t give in to who is the strongest army.
In addition, when I met with His Majesty in the afternoon, I just said that there will be an annual army competition. The local army, the imperial army, and the border army will all draw out their elites to compete.
I told Your Majesty that if the whole army competes and the most elite team is not the Forbidden Army, I will resign as Lang Zhongling and go to serve as the deputy general of the border army for my uncle!"
"Please rest assured, Lang Zhongling, we will fight to the death to keep the position of Lang Zhongling, and let you, Huo Hou, be the Lang Zhongling for the rest of our lives." The generals were full of momentum.
Huo Qubing smiled and thought: Then you have been fooled. I really don't care about the position of Lang Zhongling.
If you are going to lose, I will take advantage of the situation and mobilize the Yulin Army and the Huben Guards to break away from the Forbidden Army system and form an independent army. If you win, I will reluctantly serve as Lang Zhongling for another year. Anyway, I won’t lose any money whether I win or lose.
"Send the order, and the whole army will line up to leave the camp, and the destination is the military mansion ten miles north of the city."
The order was issued and the entire army quickly gathered.
Tens of thousands of imperial troops formed a square formation outside the school grounds.
From the perspective of above, there are more than 10,000 forbidden troops, arranged in rows of thousands of people, in ten rows in neat square blocks, all holding shields and armor, showing their military might.
A school captain shouted after the formation: "Push forward!"
Boom—Boom!
When thousands of troops march, the pressure formed instantly is like mountains moving.
There was an inexplicable surge of troops in the air, moving forward.
Outside Chang'an City, soldiers are charging into the sky!
Along the way, people were entering and leaving the city. When they saw the Forbidden Army training, they immediately became excited and stood in the distance to watch and discuss.
The Forbidden Army marched out, with flags waving, guns like forests, and shields like mountains. That kind of momentum made some people who came to the military camp on the outskirts of the city to participate in the screening and prepare to join the army also have their eyes lit up.
"What a strong momentum!"
"This is my big man's army!"
"This is not an ordinary army, it is the most elite forbidden army!
Among them were the brave veterans who were personally brought out by the champion marquis and defeated the Xiongnu army." The soldiers who were responsible for selecting the men to join the army spoke to Yourong.
At Shen Shi in the afternoon, the entire army arrived at the military mansion on the outskirts of the city.
At this time, the military palace is open in the morning for people to come and go to pay homage.
It will be closed in the afternoon and subsequent construction will be completed.
This includes chiseling the Soldier Soul Monument and carving on it the names of Han soldiers who died in battle.
Huo Qubing came to the Bingfu and directly opened the entrance to the secret realm of the Bingfu.
Liu Yu and other generals were surprised to find that there was such a vast secret realm inside the military mansion.
"This is a very suitable place for military strategists to gain energy and understand military principles. From now on, every month, the Forbidden Army can allocate some soldiers to enter the military mansion to practice."
The chanting of military strategists in the military mansion, the military principles left by Ya Sheng Wu Qi, and the accumulated energy of military formations all play a supporting role in the military strategists' practice.
In addition, Huo Qubing came here today for another purpose!
He then walked into the secret realm of the military mansion.
Ordinary tribesmen cannot go deep here and can only stop on the outside because the surrounding areas are blocked by military formations.
But he had broken through the secret formation last time and now went straight into the core area.
In the center of the secret realm, there is a pillar that serves as the eye of the formation.
When Huo Qubing came here last time, he got several simple books here.
At this time, he walked closer and looked carefully.
When he fought against Bing Zun before, after seeing the formation map released by Huo Qubing, he once said that Huo Qubing had sacrificed to the first level of Wu Qi's secret realm of the Bingfu...
The first floor of the military mansion?
Does this mean that this secret realm actually has more than one level?
That Bing Zun seems to know some secrets of the Bing Mansion?
Huo Qubing looked at it for a moment, then put his hand on the pillar in front of him and felt it carefully.
In a moment, formations began to spread and intersect on the ground, forming dense textures and forming a military array!
But other than that, there are no other changes.
"That's not right..."
Huo Qubing turned to try various methods.
It wasn't until he asked his followers to line up according to the formation pattern on the secret ground of the military mansion, echoing the arrays derived from the military mansion, and gathering the power of the army, that the pillars in front of him finally showed new changes, and countless formations on the ground
The patterns flow and intersect.
"Sure enough, this secret realm has more than one level...Dong Zhongshu obviously doesn't know that there is a second level. After all, it is something passed down by the military strategist Yasheng..."
