Chapter 26: Greatly defeated the Xiongnu Right Wise King's department, appointed as General-in-Chief!
Han Dynasty, Weiyang Palace.
Liu Che looked at the Sky Screen, his face flushed with excitement.
"Recovering Hetao! Eliminating the Xiongnu threat to Chang'an! Good! Good!"
He turned to look at Wei Qing, his voice trembling:
"Wei Qing, do you know what this means? It means our Great Han can finally sleep peacefully from now on!"
Wei Qing bowed, his voice calm,
"Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty's strategy. I am just executing it."
Liu Che waved his hand: "Don't talk about that. You fought it, so it's yours."
He paused, then suddenly laughed: "3,800 households? I think it's too little. I should give you 5,000 households!"
Wei Qing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, no, I dare not accept it."
Liu Che stared at him: "I say you deserve it, so you deserve it!"
Tang Dynasty, Taiji Hall.
Fang Xuanling sighed: "Recovering Hetao and eliminating the threat to Chang'an is a strategic achievement."
Du Ruhui nodded: "The land of Hetao can be attacked or defended. With Hetao, the Han Dynasty has the initiative against the Xiongnu."
Li Jing pondered: "Bypassing and attacking the side... this move is very wonderful. Not fighting head-on, but going around to the back and cutting off the enemy's retreat. This is the 'combination of strange and orthodox' in military strategy."
Li Shimin praised: "Yaoshi's evaluation is to the point. Wei Qing's use of troops is indeed of a master's style."
Ming Dynasty, Hongwu plane.
Xu Da said excitedly: "Recovering Hetao is a great achievement of opening up territory!"
Qing Dynasty, Qianlong plane.
Qianlong looked at the Sky Screen and said sourly:
"3,800 households? This Emperor Wu of Han is really generous."
Heshen said cautiously: "Your Majesty, if you were to reward, you would definitely be more generous than him."
Qianlong snorted: "That's for sure. My ministers, as long as they make achievements, I never skimp."
He thought to himself: If I could get on the list, I don't know what reward Immortal Gu would give?
……
On the Sky Screen, the image continued to play.
【Five: Greatly defeated the Right Wise King's department, appointed as General-in-Chief】
【124 BC (fifth year of Yuanshuo)】
【Wei Qing led 30,000 cavalry to raid the Xiongnu Right Wise King at night, capturing more than ten small kings, 15,000 men and women, and one million livestock.】
【Emperor Wu sent an envoy to the army to appoint Wei Qing as General-in-Chief, controlling all Han army generals, and his three sons were conferred as Marquises on the same day.】
Qin Dynasty.
Meng Tian gasped,
"Capturing more than ten small kings, 15,000 men and women, one million livestock? This, this is too ruthless!"
Meng Yi was also shocked: "Night raid on the Right Wise King? The Right Wise King is an important minister of the Xiongnu! This battle is equivalent to cutting off the Xiongnu's right arm!"
Wang Jian exclaimed: "30,000 cavalry, achieving such a record, this person's use of troops is truly miraculous."
Ying Zheng was silent for a moment and said slowly:
"Appointed as General-in-Chief, controlling all Han army generals... he has reached the peak of a minister."
Li Si nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, from now on, Wei Qing is the number one person in the Han army."
Han Dynasty, Weiyang Palace.
Liu Che paced back and forth with excitement.
"Appointed as General-in-Chief! Good! Good! I should have appointed you as General-in-Chief!"
He turned to look at Wei Qing, his eyes full of appreciation:
"Wei Qing, do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?"
Wei Qing bowed: "Your Majesty's trust, I have nothing to repay."
Liu Che smiled with relief,
"Don't talk about that. You fought well, so I am happy."
He paused, then suddenly laughed: "Three sons conferred as Marquises on the same day? I think it's too little. I should give your four sons titles!"
Wei Qing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I only have three sons..."
Liu Che laughed loudly: "Then three! Enough!"
Huo Qubing shouted from the side: "Uncle, your sons are all conferred as Marquises? What about me?"
Wei Qing stared at him: "What are you in a hurry for? There will be a time for you to be conferred as Marquis!"
Huo Qubing's eyes lit up.
Tang Dynasty, Taiji Hall.
Cheng Yaojin's eyes were straight,
"Three sons conferred as Marquises on the same day? This, this is too glorious, right?"
Yuchi Gong said in a muffled voice: "He fought such a big victory, it's right to be conferred as Marquis."
Li Jing was also shocked by it,
"Night raid on the Right Wise King, capturing more than ten small kings, 15,000 men and women, one million livestock... This battle is equivalent to ending the Xiongnu's family fortune."
Li Shimin sighed: "From riding slave to General-in-Chief, from unknown soldier to three sons conferred as Marquises... Wei Qing's life is truly legendary."
Ming Dynasty, Hongwu plane.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the Sky Screen, full of envy.
"Three sons conferred as Marquises on the same day..."
He turned to look at Zhu Biao, "Biao'er, I also want this."
Zhu Biao said softly: "Father, your sons are all princes, no need to be conferred as Marquises."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, then laughed loudly:
"Right! My sons are all princes, more powerful than Marquises!"
Xu Da laughed from the side: "Your Majesty, if my sons could be conferred as Marquises, I would be satisfied."
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him: "Your sons? If your sons want to be conferred as Marquises, they must make achievements first!"
Xu Da had to shut up and continue to look up at the Sky Screen.
Qing Dynasty, Qianlong plane.
Qianlong said sourly: "Three sons conferred as Marquises on the same day? This Wei Qing is really glorious."
Heshen said cautiously: "Your Majesty, your princes are all princes, much more powerful than Marquises."
Qianlong snorted: "That's for sure."
…… ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
【123 BC (Sixth Year of Yuanshuo)】
【Wei Qing led his army out of Dingxiang twice, beheading over ten thousand enemies.】
【His nephew Huo Qubing became famous in a single battle and was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Guanjun; the Wei family became the pillar of the empire.】
Qin Dynasty.
Meng Tian's eyes lit up: "Huo Qubing? Is he Wei Qing's nephew?"
Meng Yi was envious: "It seems the Wei family is a family of generals; the uncle can fight, and the nephew can fight too."
Wang Jian stroked his beard and said: "Beheading over ten thousand enemies, Huo Qubing became famous in a single battle... This Wei family is truly formidable."
Ying Zheng said slowly: "The Wei family becoming the pillar of the empire... This means the Wei family is no longer just one person who is formidable; the entire family has risen."
Han Dynasty, Weiyang Palace.
Huo Qubing looked at the sky screen, his eyes shining astonishingly.
"Uncle! It's me! It's me! I've been enfeoffed as the Marquis of Guanjun!"
He jumped with excitement, completely ignoring the gazes of those around him.
Wei Qing looked at him, his eyes filled with affection.
"Qubing, you will be even more formidable than me in the future."
Huo Qubing scratched his head: "Really?"
Wei Qing nodded: "Really."
Liu Che laughed from the side: "Huo Qubing, do you know what Marquis of Guanjun means? It means your courage crowns the three armies! This is the title I have bestowed upon you!"
Huo Qubing's eyes shone even brighter.
Tang Dynasty, Taiji Hall.
Li Shimin pondered: "Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, uncle and nephew shining together... This Han Dynasty truly has a succession of talents."
Fang Xuanling sighed: "The Wei family has become the pillar of the empire. This kind of glory is not something an ordinary person can have."
Ming Dynasty, Hongwu plane.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sky screen, lost in thought.
"Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, uncle and nephew shining together..."
He turned his head to look at Xu Da.
"Xu Da, does your family have such talent?"
Xu Da shook his head: "Your Majesty, my family does not have anyone so formidable."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Then you must work hard. Have a few more sons, and perhaps you might produce a Huo Qubing."
Xu Da gave a bitter smile: "Your Majesty, I will do my best."
Qing Dynasty, Qianlong plane.
Qianlong said sourly: "Uncle and nephew shining together? This Wei family is truly glorious."
Heshen said cautiously: "Your Majesty, your family is even more glorious. You are the Emperor, and your sons are all princes."
Qianlong gave a hum: "That goes without saying."
