Chapter 472 I can't even laugh or cry
Liu Che wanted to sit again, but Li Guang refused. He said it was definitely better to stand up. First of all, sincerity lacked some innateness, so he refused: "I have been away for many years and rode horses to fight. I am not used to sitting all the time. I'd better stand up."
Liu Che knew Li Guang's temper and did not force him: "I understand the old general's meaning, but I consider that the general is old and is not suitable for fighting the enemy on the battlefield. I can't bear to worry about your hard work. Please understand my intention."
"His Majesty!"
Li Guang lifted his battle robe and knelt down again and said, "If I want to live in peace but have a waning year, I will not come into the palace wearing armor. This is not the old minister's original intention."
Li Guang was originally a person who was uncomfortable with his brothers. He wanted him to never see the big Han soldiers who had fought side by side again, which was even more uncomfortable than a heart attack.
"Why do you have to do this? Nowadays, the court has emerged one after another. Not to mention the general and the cavalry general, even the old general's tiger Li Gan is extremely brave, and it is no problem to have one enemy.
Although I dare not say that I am a powerful general, but also a gathering of heroes, why should the old general?
Liu Che stopped talking here, but Li Guang still guessed what Liu Che meant.
"Your Majesty is saying that I am old?" Li Guang felt a sense of loyalty spreading along the upper burner and quickly spread to the Adam's apple.
Isn’t that what it means? A veteran does not mean that everything goes smoothly, and it may be a waste of time.
If you don’t protect your lifetime reputation, you will try your best to fight to the death, which is something that Liu Che cannot understand.
"Your Majesty looks down on the old minister so much, ah, let the old minister be ashamed."
Liu Che coughed lightly and continued, "I have no intention of despising the old general when he gets up and speaks."
Li Guang stood up and his eyes were filled with sadness: "Although I am old, I can still eat rice and two pounds of meat in each meal, and I can draw a strong bow of 300 stones. I am still strong. Although I still do not have the courage of Lian Po, I have the courage of Lian Po. I would like to ask Your Majesty to be kind to me to compete with the young generals in the court.
If I lose, I will no longer raise the matter of expedition. On the contrary, if I win, I will ask Your Majesty to accept the old minister's grace to go to the expedition with the army! I will fully serve the old minister's desire to serve the country."
Li Guang's generous speech made Liu Che feel excited, and he let go of his obsession.
Let him go,
Anyway, it won't be bad.
He walked to the center of the hall and said, "Your words are serious. I have no intention of despising the old general. I just think..."
But Li Guang was crying sadly like a child at this time, which made Liu Che, Bao Sang and the yellow sects at a loss.
Liu Che looked at Li Guang who was crawling on the ground again, and was speechless for a moment and went forward to help him.
It's simple and funny. Why is Li Guang still so sarcastic? It's really different from his personality. He has really made good efforts to fight.
"Your Majesty! I now... have a few words in my heart to say to Your Majesty."
"The old general says something."
Li Guang's cry gradually subsided, and he felt that what he had done was embarrassing and said with a hint: "It is my crime to bury three thousand children in the desert. The old minister is unwilling to accept it. If he gave up the opportunity to go to war, wouldn't he be cold to the hearts of the three thousand undead? The Huns' hearts that I will not die, why shouldn't I have to fight for my life?
If you don’t fight, what kind of face will I have to meet the great Han soldiers who died on the battlefield in a hundred years?”
Speaking of this,
Li Guang's thoughts are very clear.
In fact, no matter how people later commented on him, praised him, and joked about him, it was the blessing of the dynasty and the country that the Han Dynasty could have such an old minister who valued love and righteousness. What reason would there be to prevent him from returning to the battlefield?
Liu Che personally brushed Li Guang's robe and said, "The old general's heartfelt words have made me feel very moved. This matter is easy to deal with, and I am not unkind. I just allow the brigade general to go to war."
"Hahaha!"
Li Guang's mood has only calmed down now: "It's so good, the old minister has no regrets. I thank Your Majesty for the three thousand children. I will go back to the mansion to prepare for the war!"
After walking out of the hall gate, Li Guang took the sword back from the sword rack, thanked Bao Sang, and his cheerful smile was written between his eyebrows: "Hahaha! OK! Go and have a drink with Zhang Qian!"
Zhang Qian has been very busy these days. After the morning court every day, he would go to the Dianfu State Administration to teach the customs and customs of the Western Regions to the selected young people, and prepare for the future of these young people to go to the Western Regions to do business.
They were both on missions to the Western Regions. Although these people were doing business, the situation had changed a long time ago and how different it was. He no longer had to worry about being detained by the Huns. He could also pass through the long Hexi grassland with flags and go west in a vast way, and keep the road smooth.
The sun in Wuwei is allowed to enjoy, the wine in Jiuquan is allowed to drink, and the scenery in the south of the desert is even more infinite.
Time unfolds a new landscape painting in front of Zhang Qian, and he will no longer have the loneliness and loneliness of business.
Just as he went west, the army led by Wei Qing... would strike directly at Mobei.
This was like a huge scroll. Against the broad background of the Han army's charge, such a group of messengers with a mission of harmony spread the camel bells to the distance, transporting the civilized merchant goods of the Han Dynasty to a more distant place.
The snow in the evening occasionally floated into the window, kissing Zhang Qian's cheeks hotly baked by fire in cold weather. Liu Che's conversation with him in Xuanshi Hall during the day returned to his heart with the cool snow.
"Although I went there for business, I was actually to recruit Wusun Kingdom to return to Dunhuang in the east and join forces with our Han to fight against the Huns. I appreciate it very much. For this reason, then the artifacts I brought with me should not be stingy."
Liu Che's grand ambition invisibly added courage to Zhang Qian's journey westward.
He has already put the list in place now and will go to Shaofu Temple to extract it tomorrow morning.
On this snowy day, he has so much hope that Li Guang, a friend of trouble, can share this joy with him.
Haha, I really have a heart-to-heart relationship. When the dusk is getting darker, Li Guang came to the door with snowflakes.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he said to Zhang Qian with joy: "Your Majesty has already approved my memorial for the request for battle!"
"Oh! It's a happy congratulation."
Zhang Qian smiled and walked towards the study while helping Li Guang slap the snowflakes on his shoulder.
When the two came to the study, Zhang Qian ordered the maid to make some wine and food, and he wanted to share the joy in his heart with Li Guang.
Didn’t it mean that Liu Che didn’t agree? Li Guang put it down and it was insignificant to drink a drink.
Li Guang took a sip of tea, spit out a heat from his chest and said, "Oh! If I hadn't been hard at the school for five consecutive days, I would probably have no chance to go to the battlefield again in this life."
Zhang Qian nodded and said, "Now you have finally fulfilled your wish."
Li Guang has always been very grateful to Zhang Qian for his understanding. When he looked around the study, he felt that he needed a woman too much.
"Is it really just like this that sir? Look at the messy study."
Zhang Qian was silent for a while, but when he raised his head, his eyes became a little wet.
