Start by integrating Ran Min and starting with the strategy of Lady Bian

After Li Xiang returned to Luoyang, he did not go back immediately.

Instead, he sat on the dragon chariot and followed Liu Hong into the palace.

Chengde Hall.

Liu Hong sat on the dragon chair, and civil and military officials gathered.

"Marquis of Longxi, tell me how you beat the Xianbei people!"

As soon as Liu Hong sat down, he couldn't wait to speak to Li Xiang.

Listening to Liu Hong's questions, all the civil and military officials looked at Li Xiang, with both envy and curiosity in their eyes.

One after another, great victories came like thunder.

They did not doubt the authenticity of the matter, but they were more curious about how Li Xiang did it.

Li Xiang listened to Liu Hong's question and said without delay:

"Your Majesty, when I led my troops out of Yanmen Pass, I considered that the Xianbei people were divided, and divided my troops to attack them, which could give full play to the powerful equipment of our Imperial Guards, and we could fight to support the war and accumulate war horses. The Imperial Guards lacked war horses... and fought a decisive battle with the Xianbei in Yunzhong. At that time, I led the battle formation... and rushed to the Xianbei royal court..."

In Chengde Hall, Li Xiang's voice was sonorous and powerful. From beginning to end, he told the story of the troops going out of Yanmen Pass, burning the Xianbei royal court, rescuing Han slaves and returning them to Han, and forming the "miscellaneous soldiers" begging army on the border that had always had a blood feud with foreign races.

"Bang!"

"Well, well said, well done, I can't wait to follow the Marquis of Longxi to fight the Xianbei."

"There is also the Qihuo Army, well, well, with the Qihuo Army in the north, I'm afraid the Xianbei people will have a headache!"

"The Marquis of Longxi can also make an analogy, the Qihuo Army not only accepts those who have grudges against the Xianbei, but also those who have grudges against the Xiongnu and Wuhuan!"

In the Chengde Hall, Liu Hong listened to what Li Xiang did in the northern border, his face flushed, and he was very excited. He was obviously exaggerated by Li Xiang's affairs, and applauded the "Qihuo Army" formed by Li Xiang.

In the hall, not only Liu Hong, but many civil and military officials were very excited when they heard Li Xiang tell the details of the battle against the Xianbei.

For example, Zhou Yi, the magistrate of Luoyang, looked at Li Xiang with great admiration.

"Your Majesty is wise to let the Qihuo Army absorb those who have grudges against the Xiongnu and Wuhuan!"

Li Xiang bowed and flattered Liu Hong.

"Hahaha, good, Longxi Hou, you are really a general sent to me by God!"

Li Xiang flattered him, and Liu Hong was very pleased and said happily.

At this time, Zhang Rang, who was standing next to Liu Hong, looked at Li Xiang and suddenly said:

"Longxi Hou, although the Qihuo Army is not a regular army, but just refugees, but you set it up privately, who will pay for the food consumed?"

Liu Hong was slightly startled by Zhang Rang's words, and the smile on his face was much less.

Li Xiang glanced at Zhang Rang and said to Liu Hong:

"Your Majesty, the Qihuo Army is not part of the imperial court, nor is it a regular army. They followed the Imperial Guards to kill the Xianbei people on the grassland. They have war horses, weapons and scimitars from the Xianbei people. They don't need the imperial court's food and grass. They can rob the Xianbei people themselves."

"The Xianbei people, Wuhuan people, and Xiongnu people invaded several counties on the Han border, such as Yanmen, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Yuyang, etc. There are a large number of foreign ethnic groups settled there. Where there are a large number of cattle, sheep, and war horses, there is no need to worry about food. No?"

"At worst, my family also has a business, and we can use food to exchange for the war horses, cattle and sheep they looted and import them into the Central Plains."

"Therefore, Zhang Changshi does not need to worry about the supply of food and grass for the Qihuo Army from the court. As the General of the Northern Expedition, I have repaired the Yanmen Pass and other dangerous frontier passes and stationed a large army. In addition, the Qihuo Army is in the north. I bluntly say that the good days of the Xianbei, Xiongnu and Wuhuan people in the north are coming!"

In the hall, Li Xiang's voice resounded, making Liu Hong and a group of officials' eyes shine.

The Qihuo Army does not need the court to provide food, but to plunder foreign races to survive.

Thinking that in the future, if the Qihuo Army can really succeed, the Xianbei, Xiongnu and Wuhuan people may really have a headache and enjoy the taste of the Han Dynasty being invaded.

"Marquis Longxi, you fought against the Xianbei and won a great victory, which was no less impressive than Wei Huo. Do you want any reward from me?"

Liu Hong was extremely satisfied with Li Xiang and could not help but said excitedly.

Hearing this, Li Xiang faced the envious eyes of the civil and military officials and said to Liu Hong solemnly:

"Your Majesty, I don't need any reward, but I really want to ask your Majesty for one thing!"

"Hmm? What do you want? I will grant whatever Marquis Longxi wants!"

On the dragon throne, Liu Hong was shocked and curious when he heard Li Xiang asking him for something.

The civil and military officials also looked at him sideways.

Li Xiang rose all the way,

Liu Hong wanted to reward Li Xiang for his numerous contributions, but Li Xiang had never asked for it, but he asked for it this time, which made them curious.

Li Xiang said with a serious face:

"Your Majesty, I really don't need your Majesty's reward. I'm asking for it for the soldiers who died in battle!"

"There were 8,000 soldiers in the Imperial Guards when they went to war, but only 3,641 soldiers came back, and 4,359 soldiers died!"

"These 4,359 soldiers died for the country, spread the power of Han outside the territory, and saved the people of Han. They are worthy of being remembered by future generations, and they are worthy of being remembered by future generations. Therefore, I ask your Majesty to grant them a tomb for heroes, engrave their names and nationalities, let them leave with glory, make their families proud, and compensate their families!"

Li Xiang's solemn voice resounded, and the hall fell silent in an instant. Liu Hong and a group of civil and military officials were all stunned.

They thought Li Xiang had something to ask Liu Hong for, and wanted some kind of reward, but they didn't expect that he wanted to build a tomb for the fallen soldiers!

A group of civil and military officials looked at Li Xiang with complicated eyes.

Liu Hong gritted his teeth and said with pain:

"Since it was the Marquis of Longxi who requested it personally, these imperial guards also died for the country, spread the power of Han outside the territory, and saved the people of Han. They have made contributions to the Han Dynasty. The tomb of heroes should be built. Let the Marquis of Longxi do it himself!"

"Yes!" Li Xiang said yes immediately after hearing this.

The tomb of heroes was built, and the eyes of a group of civil and military officials in the court looked at Li Xiang with more complicated eyes.

They envied and jealous of Li Xiang, but they had to say that what Li Xiang did was really impeccable and admirable!
