Chapter 671 The reserved Li Guang

King Liu Dingguo of Yan had a sweet dream.

In the dream, he had a harem of three thousand beauties, all of whom were extremely beautiful, comparable to fairies in the fairy palace.

In his palace, he lived a happy life with beauties day and night, without shame or boredom.

Day by day, day by day.

From morning to night, there was endless fun day and night, and the days were so beautiful that they were bubbling.

Later, news came from Chang'an City that the emperor had died without an heir. After discussion, the royal family and nobles decided to invite King Liu Dingguo of Yan to go to Chang'an City to become the emperor!

Liu Dingguo was so excited that he shed tears. Taking control of Chang'an meant that he could not only have the beauties of Yan State, but also the beauties of the whole world...

"King! King!! King!!!"

Liu Dingguo, who was immersed in a sweet dream, was forcibly awakened by his followers.

Liu Dingguo opened his eyes in confusion and subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, someone is coming to kill you!"

"Who is so bold?" Liu Dingguo was furious, "Dare you come to kill me?"

"Your Majesty, the Han army is coming to kill you!"

"Nonsense." Liu Dingguo, who had not yet woken up, scolded, "I am the King of Yan. How dare any Han army..."

Having said this, he finally came to his senses.

He had surrendered to the Huns. Although Chang'an had not issued an order to deprive King Yan of his identity, he was already an enemy of the Han Dynasty.

While he was talking, the sound of fighting outside the tent was already deafening.

Although most of the militiamen brought by Li Guang had served in the army, they were not regular armies after all, so naturally they could not form formations or anything like that.

If they encounter the main force of the Huns, they will inevitably end up being annihilated.

But this lost prince was quite lucky. By accident, he met Liu Dingguo, King of Yan, who was fleeing from the Huns.

Most of this so-called Xiongnu tribe were Liu Dingguo's family members and retainers, with only a small number of Huns leading the way.

Its combat effectiveness is naturally not worth mentioning, and it happened to be blocked by Li Guang's militiamen who also had poor combat effectiveness.

After a night battle between the two sides, most of the Huns who led the way successfully escaped with their superb riding skills.

But Yan King Liu Dingguo and the people he took away did not have such luck.

Liu Dingguo hurriedly mounted his horse and ran away. Because his riding skills were poor, he wasted time to escape. He only escaped the camp for more than ten miles before he was overtaken by Li Danghu and his men.

"My king, leave quickly!"

Luo Tong still had some loyalty. He gritted his teeth, drew his sword, poked the rear of Liu Dingguo's horse, then turned around and shouted to stop the pursuers.

Li Danghu rode past, and the sword in his hand passed directly from Luo Tong's neck.

The Li family is a martial arts family. In this era of martial arts, the children in the family have been practicing martial arts since childhood. Their individual combat capabilities are not comparable to those of merchants like Luo Tong.

The last thing Luo Tong saw when he fell to the ground was the fat body of King Yan Liu Dingguo, who fell off his horse again because he was too panicked.

Seeing this scene, Luo Tong's heart was filled with grief and anger, and his consciousness finally fell into endless darkness.

"My son is doing well!"

In Liu Dingguo's camp, when he saw King Yan being dragged back by Li Danghu, Li Guangda was overjoyed, "There is hope that my Li family will return to the ranks of nobles!"

King Liu Dingguo of Yan colluded with the Huns to invade, and the impact and losses caused were extremely bad.

After all, his identity lies there, not only as a member of the royal family, but also as a border king.

The identity of such a person is very important, and his successful capture must be a great achievement.

As expected by Li Guang, they returned southward and entered the pass a few days later, and quickly reported the matter to the local garrison.

The garrison did not dare to neglect and quickly sent a message to Chang'an City and Wei Qing, who was returning to Yan State at this time.

After Wei Qing learned the news, he immediately arranged for Li Xi to arrive with thousands of cavalry, and personally escorted King Yan and others to Chang'an City.

"Father."

Seeing that King Yan and his family were all taken away, Li Danghu asked hesitantly, "Then the general won't take our credit, right?"

"He dares!"

Li Guang immediately looked at him coldly, "In the military system, those who seize military merit will be expelled and beheaded."

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, military merit was a good thing. Having military merit meant having almost everything.

Correspondingly, a lot of things naturally happened in order to compete for military glory.

Therefore, the regulations in this area are very strict, and the penalties for robbing military honors are very severe.

"That's good."

Li Danghu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Father can finally return to the army."

"What are you talking about!"

Unexpectedly, Li Guang suddenly turned his back and yelled, "You are the one who captured the traitor, so naturally it is your military merit. How can I, as a father, take away your credit!"

"This..." Li Danghu was shocked and hurriedly explained, "Father, how can a child..."

"No need to say more." Li Guangda waved his hand, "The military merits you have achieved will naturally belong to you. If my father wants to snatch your military merits, how can I have the dignity to return to the army?"

More than half a month later, Li Guang and others came to Jicheng and met with Wei Qingzhidu and others.

"General Lee!"

Even though Li Guang no longer had the title he had won through many years of fighting, Wei Qing still saluted as a junior and affectionately called the general, "I heard that the general captured the rebellious Liu Dingguo. He is really a fierce general."

Li Guang didn't think highly of Wei Qing before.

After all, when Li Guang was a general and an official with two thousand stones, Wei Qing, who was still in his infancy, was still herding sheep outside Pingyang City.

Gongsun Ao also exchanged greetings with a smile on his face, after all, they are all juniors.

Only Zhi didn't comment, and nodded as a greeting.

Zhi were all cruel officials, and looked the same to everyone except the emperor.

Moreover, Li Guang's qualifications cannot be displayed in front of Zhidu.

Seeing that Wei Qing was such a good person, Li Guang didn't show off his qualifications to serve the cup. After all, his current identity was just a white man.

He was really fucked to the end. He was not even the lowest official among the twenty nobles of Qin and Han Dynasties.

You must know that during the Han Dynasty, low-level titles gradually became commonplace, and many people had titles. Some merchants could even reach the high position of official or even public official by transporting millet to the border.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Guang’s current identity is indeed quite embarrassing.

In Liu Dingguo's former palace of King Yan, everyone sat down and chatted, exchanging news about the war.

When Li Guang heard the news that Wei Qing defeated the Xiongnu with 20,000 cavalry and defeated the Huns with 50,000 cavalry, he immediately showed admiration, and there was no trace of arrogance in his expression.

To be able to annihilate more than 10,000 Xiongnu troops in one battle, from Emperor Gaozu down, only the emperor of today has done so.

But now the young Wei Qing has actually done it, which is of course admirable.

Ten thousand Huns cavalry can control the small countries in the Western Region at will.

Thirty thousand Huns cavalry were even enough to sweep across the entire Western Region.

However, Wei Qing defeated 30,000 Huns cavalry on the shore of Liao River in one battle. Naturally, Li Guang admired him greatly and was convinced.

He had fought against the Huns for many years, so he naturally knew how difficult those Huns cavalry were to deal with.

While several people were exchanging business blows, Li Yunze's envoy finally arrived at Jicheng with the imperial edict, working overtime.

The content of the imperial edict was to explain and make arrangements. Mingzhidu temporarily acted as the Prime Minister of the State of Yan to handle the follow-up matters after the war, including converting the State of Yan into counties after it was eliminated, carrying out post-war reconstruction, and relocating those guilty and implicated.

Go to Chang'an City and appease the local people

Waiting for matters.

Wei Qing here praised his meritorious service, and then said that the battle was over. After strengthening the border defense, he immediately led his troops back to Chang'an City.

Gongsun Ao and others also returned to the army together.

The imperial edict also specifically mentioned Li Guang, saying that Li Guang had rebelled against Liu Dingguo and had made great achievements, and asked Wei Qing to find Li Guang and others to return to Chang'an City.

"General Li." Wei Qing accepted the imperial edict and smiled at Li Guang and said, "There is hope for recovery."

Li Guang, who was in an excited mood, waved his hand reservedly, "It was Quanzi who captured the rebellious one, and I didn't do much."

"Although the traitor was caught by your noble master, it was General Li who commanded him well." The junior Gongsun Ao also followed the topic and joked, "The emperor is kind and generous, so he will definitely make the general revolt."

Li Guang was in a good mood, so he was no longer too modest. Several people laughed and talked about this great victory in the tone of colleagues.

Only Zhidu didn't comment on this, and after a while he got up and left to do things.

The first thing he had to do was to capture the entire Yan Kingdom...all the powerful people in the former Yan Kingdom, those who were involved with the King of Yan, and those who were guilty when the Huns invaded.

After that, those who have committed serious crimes will be dealt with directly, and the rest will be moved to Guanzhong.

Liu Bang was very capable and could naturally see the serious consequences of land annexation.

Therefore, in order to suppress land annexation, he often moved powerful families from various places to Guanzhong, thus effectively delaying local land annexation.

Emperors Wen and Jing also continued this policy, which effectively slowed down the speed of land annexation.

By the time of Emperor Wu, especially when he was obsessed with alchemy and immortality in the later period, the local government gradually began to lose control, like a wild horse that was out of control and difficult to control.

After all, in order to support the Hundred Years' War with the Huns, Emperor Wu consumed too much of the wealth and population of the world, and his control was obviously declining.

Later emperors of the Western Han Dynasty also wanted to suppress land annexation, but unfortunately they were unable to stop it until the fall of the Western Han Dynasty.

At this time, Zhidu was a staunch supporter of the migrating powerful system.

In fact, Zhidu is more inclined to use the simplest way to solve the problems caused by the powerful people in these places.

If it weren't for Li Yunze's imperial decree, which clearly stated that these people would be moved to Guanzhong, it would be impossible to say that Zhidu would have gone on a killing spree at this time.

After all, they are all cool officials, and what cool officials are best at is solving problems in the simplest way.

Once everyone is killed, the problem will naturally disappear.

Regarding land annexation, Li Yunze already has a once and for all solution.

That is to nationalize all the land in the world, or in other words, to take it into the possession of the emperor.

Naturally, the land belonging to the emperor cannot be bought or sold, but can only be inherited.

To achieve this, the emperor must have enough prestige and strength to be able to deter all opposing forces.

At this time, Li Yunze had already initially met these conditions.
