Can I get to the other side?

After leaving Tai'an Palace, Liu Xie summoned the messengers alone in the propaganda room and asked him carefully about the details and reasons why Zhang He defeated the Qiang royal court.

Why did Zhang He suddenly launch an attack on Qiang Wang Ting?

Sima Yi, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and others also rushed over. After hearing this, they all looked at the messenger soldier with curious eyes.

"Your Majesty—"

The soldier bowed respectfully, and then said: "The scouts came to report that they found traces of the rebels in the Qiang King's Court, so General Zhang led the Modao Army alone to the Qiang King's Court, intending to fight the rebels to the death. "

"The Qiang people sent a large army to fight, but they were defeated by General Zhang."

"Then General Zhang led his troops into the royal court, but found no trace of the rebels. After interrogation, it was found that Ma Chao had already led the rebels to Shangjun, deep in the Qiang region."

"The leaders of the Qiang royal court tribes also went to Shangjun, so the royal court's defense was very empty."

"After learning about this, General Zhang did not want to return without success, so he rescued the trapped people in the royal court, captured a number of Qiang nobles, and besides..."

The soldier stopped as he spoke, looking like he was hesitating to speak.

Seeing this, Liu Xie raised his eyebrows and asked, "What else happened? Why didn't you say anything?"

The soldier hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "In addition, General Zhang also ordered the massacre of the entire Qiang royal court, killing all of them, regardless of gender, age or child."

"Not only that, General Zhang set fire to the entire royal court, grasslands, and mountains, and dumped the corpses in major water sources, polluting all the clean fresh water of the Qiang people..."

After telling what Zhang He had done in the Qiang land, the soldier plucked up the courage and said: "Your Majesty, I am humble enough to say something bold. The Qiang people have done all kinds of evil to our Han people. Although General Zhang's move is a bit cruel, it is very satisfying."

"I hope your Majesty will not punish General Zhang for this."

The soldiers kowtowed deeply to Liu Xie.

When the emperor asks a question, he cannot but answer it.

But he felt from the bottom of his heart that there was nothing wrong with Zhang He's treatment of the Qiang people. To deal with these evil Qiang people, one must retaliate with tooth for tooth and blood for blood!

After hearing what this soldier said, everyone in the announcement room was stunned.

Even Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be moved by it.

Because Zhang He did so cruelly. He slaughtered all the Qiang people regardless of gender, age or child, and burned the ground and sewage. He had no intention of letting the remaining Qiang people survive!

Only Jia Xu looked excited after hearing this and praised: "General Zhang's move is really good, but there are still some shortcomings."

"Just burning the grassland will only prevent the Qiang people from raising livestock this year; if they can find a salt mine and spread all the coarse salt on the ground, the grassland will be barren of grass for ten years."

"General Zhang is still too kind."

There was regret in Jia Xu's tone, feeling that Zhang He wasted such a good opportunity and was still not ruthless enough.

Guo Jia on the side heard this and laughed: "After all, General Zhang only brought five thousand troops, and he was too pressed for time to burn the ground and spread salt."

"In my opinion, more corpses should be tied to rocks and sunk into the water so that the Qiang people cannot salvage them and pollute the water source for a longer period of time."

Jia Xu thought about it after hearing this, and felt that what Guo Jia said was indeed reasonable. He nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't think carefully enough, or Feng Xiao's strategy is better."

Guo Jia said modestly: "No, brother Wen He's strategy is also very good. If you have enough time, you still have to adopt Wen He's strategy."

The two complimented each other indifferently.

Sima Yi, Yang Xiu, Lu Su and others on the side all cast shocked and horrified looks at them, secretly moving away from the two of them.

These two guys are really more ruthless than the other.

In comparison, Zhang He's approach was too immature.

The soldier was also dumbfounded, and for a moment he doubted himself... Comparing these two men, General Zhang's approach seemed indeed "merciful".

"Fengxiao, Wenhe, shut up!"

Liu Xie glared at the two of them. There are still outsiders here. Can't they pay attention to their influence?

If word got out, others would think that his favored ministers were all cruel officials.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu obediently shut their mouths.

Only then did Liu Xie look away, and then said to the soldier: "General Zhang destroyed the Qiang royal court and defeated the enemy army. This is a feat comparable to that of the champion Hou Huo Qubing."

"The Qiang people have been causing harm to our Han border for a long time. What's wrong with killing women and children as well?"

"If anyone dares to accuse General Zhang of being too cruel, then let them go to the border and see how the Qiang people slaughtered my Han people!"

"The Qiang people's butcher's knives have never spared my Han women and children!"

Liu Xie's tone was cold and his voice echoed throughout the hall.

Of course he knew that Zhang He's approach conflicted with traditional Confucian concepts and benevolence and morality, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang He.

In his opinion, Zhang He's victory over the Qiang people for the Han Dynasty was an unparalleled achievement and should be praised and celebrated rather than scolded.

So in this matter, he firmly supported Zhang He.

The Qiang people have robbed and killed Han people in the border areas for decades. According to statistics alone, there are tens of thousands of them; plus those who have not been counted, the number is simply unimaginable.

Are there no women, children, or children among those killed or injured?

Have you ever seen Qiang people spare them?

This is Zhang He. If he personally led the troops to conquer the Qiang people, he would not even leave a single person alive, let alone the old, young, women and children!

Either kill them or use them to enslave them!

Don’t talk about cruelty or not, this is the best way to treat the Qiang people, a foreign race!

“Pass my edict——”

After Liu Xie clearly expressed his attitude, he began to make a final judgment on Zhang He’s achievements: “Weiwei Zhang He defeated the Qiang people and defended the border for meritorious service. He is awarded a thousand gold coins, promoted one level, and given the title of Champion Marquis!”

Before, Huo Qubing went deep into the desert to attack the Xiongnu;

Now Zhang He went deep into the Qiang land to slaughter the Qiang people’s king’s court.

Although Zhang He’s contribution was not as great as Huo Qubing’s, it was equally significant, so Liu Xie gave him the title of Champion Marquis, which represents honor.

This also represents his recognition!

After hearing Liu Xie’s reward for Zhang He, the ministers in the palace were shocked, but no one would raise objections at this time, and they all said yes respectfully.

The soldier who delivered the message was also very surprised, and the big stone in his heart finally fell.

After letting the soldiers retreat and rest, Liu Xie smiled and said to the ministers: "I was still worried about the expenses for managing the Yellow River before, but now General Zhang has sent this expense."

"With the many spoils seized from the Qiang people's royal court, managing the Yellow River is definitely more than enough."

This is also one of the reasons why he gave Zhang He such a heavy reward.

This seizure solved his urgent needs.

Fa Zheng asked: "Then your majesty, should we suspend the construction of the mausoleum..."

"There is no need to build the mausoleum so early."

Liu Xie waved his hand and said: "Building a mausoleum is a waste of money and labor, and it is of no benefit to the country. Let's keep this money where it should be used."

"As long as the world can be peaceful and the people can live in peace and prosperity, what does it matter if I have no mausoleum after my death?"

"The prosperous world of the Han Dynasty is the best and most prosperous mausoleum."

Liu Xie's calm tone of words made all the ministers present stand in awe after listening, and even emerged with unparalleled admiration!

Which emperor in the past and present can have such a broad mind and such a spirit?

I am afraid that only the Emperor Xiaowen, who is famous for his wisdom, can be compared with the current emperor!

Emperor Xiaowen is also famous for his diligence and love for the people. The burial objects after his death are also very simple, and he also issued an order that his death should not affect the people.

"Your Majesty is far more virtuous than Emperor Xiaowen."

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What an honor it is to be able to assist such an emperor to create a prosperous era!

Not only Zhuge Liang, but other ministers in the hall also have the same idea in their hearts, because it is really rare for an emperor like Liu Xie to disdain his posthumous affairs.

This also makes them more convinced that the emperor will definitely lead them to create an unprecedented prosperity for the Han Dynasty!

Yanhan, should rise!

...

The news that Zhang He led his troops to destroy the Qiang people's royal court soon spread throughout Yecheng, and countless people who heard the news were excited!

The Han people have long suffered from the Qiang people. Like the Xiongnu and Wuhuan people, the Qiang people have always been the most troublesome problem at the border.

Burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil, all Han people hate these foreign barbarians who are not civilized.

Now, not long after the Wuhuan were destroyed, Zhang He brought 5,000 soldiers to destroy the Qiang people's royal court and killed the Qiang people in a river of blood!

Who can believe it?

Reading the correct version! 6=9+Shu_Bar published this novel for the first time.

Who dares to believe it?

But this is what really happened!

"Marquis Guanjun is mighty! Clear out the foreign races for our Han Dynasty!"

"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, Marquis Guanjun truly practices this sentence!"

"Before there was Huo Qubing, now there is Zhang He, worthy of the title of champion!"

"That group of hateful Qiang people should be treated like this!"

The people in Yecheng were discussing this matter, and Zhang He's reputation reached its peak for a time, even overshadowing the matter of moving the capital back to Chang'an.

The Imperial Palace, Ziyun Palace. .

It has been more than a month since Lv Lingqi gave birth.

After a month of recuperation, Lv Lingqi's health has improved a lot, thanks to her regular martial arts practice, so her physical fitness is particularly good and she recovers very quickly.

And the little princess has now become a darling of the palace.

Lv Bu, the grandfather, has to find excuses to enter the palace to meet the emperor every now and then, in fact, he just wants to see his granddaughter.

Liu Xie finally got annoyed and gave him a token to let him enter and leave Ziyun Palace freely, so that he wouldn't always come to disturb him in handling government affairs.

Today, Lü Bu and his wife Yan came to the palace to visit their daughter.

Lü Bu was beside the cradle, teasing the child in the cradle with a wooden toy he made by himself, with a kind and gentle smile on his face.

If other generals saw this, they would be shocked!

Lü Bu, the first fierce general of the Han Dynasty who killed countless people and was invincible on the battlefield, actually had such a side? And was so kind?

"Yaaaaa~"

The child was very amused by Lü Bu, and then suddenly stretched out his little hand and grabbed Lü Bu's beard.

There are three fastest things in the world.

Lü Bu's Red Hare, Zhao Yun's gun, and the child's hand grabbing things.

But Lu Bu was not angry when his beard was grabbed. He let his granddaughter pull his beard like this. Instead, he stretched out his fingers to touch her little face and smiled and said, "Be good, call me grandpa."

"Aiya~"

But how could the child understand him? Instead, he pulled a few strands of Lu Bu's beard hard, making him grimace in pain and almost jump up.

At this time, Lu Lingqi and her mother Yan were chatting on the side, and they couldn't help but smile after seeing this scene.

Yan shook her head and smiled, "Your father originally wanted to have a grandson, and now that you have a daughter, he is very proud."

"By the way, have you chosen a name for the child?"

Lü Lingqi smiled and nodded, saying, "Your Majesty has already thought of it, a single name of 'Ying'."

"Your Majesty said that this word comes from "Chu Ci·Nine Chapters·Thinking of Beauty", which says: 'Fragrant and ze are mixed, and Qiangyun Ying comes out from it'."

Lü Lingqi didn't understand the meaning of this word, but she liked the word "Ying" very much.

The eldest princess Liu Ying.

Yan nodded and praised, "Your Majesty is worthy of it. The names you think of are so nice. Your father can't think of such a nice name."

"When you were born, he planned to name you Lu Cuicui, but I thought it was too ugly, so I found a private school teacher to give you the current name."

Yan told a story about Lu Lingqi's childhood.

Before Lü Lingqi could speak, Lü Bu on the side said unhappily: "What's wrong with Cuicui? It's so easy to pronounce. You have to listen to that sour scholar and call her 'Lingqi'. It's hard to pronounce and not nice. It's really a woman's opinion!"

After saying this with a stern face, Lü Bu looked at Liu Ying in the cradle with a kind face.

"Good granddaughter, is grandpa right?"

Liu Ying giggled and pulled Lü Bu's beard again.

Yan was too lazy to pay attention to Lü Bu. She looked around and asked in a low voice: "Qi'er, why do I feel that His Majesty rarely comes to see you after you gave birth to a daughter?"

"Does His Majesty mind this?"

Since ancient times, mothers have been honored by their sons.

Lü Lingqi gave birth to a princess instead of a prince. Yan was worried that this would affect the emperor's favor for Lü Lingqi.

Lu Lingqi shook her head and defended Liu Xie, saying, "Now that the capital is about to be moved, His Majesty is busy with affairs, and the burden of state affairs is on him, which is quite hard."

"But His Majesty has never stopped caring about me. He will come to visit me whenever he is free. Mother, don't worry."

She never felt that she was ignored by Liu Xie.

Liu Xie worked on government affairs until very late every day, but he would come to see her no matter how late it was, and she always pretended to be asleep so that Liu Xie would not think that she was waiting for him to come back.

"That's good."

Yan Shi felt relieved a little after hearing this, and then looked at Liu Ying again, and said to Lu Lingqi, "You still have to work harder to give birth to a prince for His Majesty."

"Your father is old, and although he has made great contributions, our Lu family will eventually need someone to protect him in the future."

"If you can give birth to a prince, even if this child fails to become the crown prince and only becomes a local prince, my Lu family can still prosper, right?"
