The Grand Tutor and the Fumin General Liu Xiaqing have been living a leisurely life in Chang'an. He likes this kind of leisurely life. He spends time with his wife at home, goes out to meet friends, drink, chat and chat together, and lives a very comfortable life.

However, the long-term rebellion of Hou He of Linyi interrupted his peaceful life, and His Majesty the Emperor actually sent him to lead his troops to quell the rebellion.

Liu Xiaqing was so scared that he refused.

"Your Majesty, the old minister only knows how to raise animals, so how can he arrange troops to command wars? You are so proud of the old minister."

Liu Xiaqing always boasted that he was the "No. 1 general in the world" when drinking and chatting with others. Now he seemed to have forgotten this and suddenly became humble.

"Your Majesty, He Changnian is so fierce in war, how can I beat him? The Linyi Camp was one of the main camps of the Qingzhou Army back then, and only Taishan Camp could suppress them. Your Majesty, why not let General Taishan Cui go, he can fight, and now he still talks about the things he led the troops back then... Otherwise, General Wenyang is fine too!"

The emperor only said one thing, which scared Liu Xiaqing so much that he didn't dare to talk about it anymore.

"Do you want to resist the order?"

"My Majesty, please don't know, I'm going to receive the order. Your Majesty trusts me so much, I'm grateful." Liu Xiaqing's tears were about to come down. It would be better to say that he was grateful, but he was scared.

The emperor said, "Don't be afraid. I didn't let you go to war. Just leave the battlefield to Zhong Lihua. Do you only make a decision or not? When to fight? As for how to fight, Zhong Lihua will fight as much as he says. Remember?"

Liu Xiaqing nodded repeatedly, feeling quite confused. This rebellion was said to have gathered tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of people. It was a vast crowd. When he thought of fighting with so many people, the world's No. 1 general's legs became a little weak.

The emperor seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "The Qingzhou army in Shanglinyuan has two battalions, with a total of five or six thousand people. He Changnian claims to have tens of thousands of soldiers. According to my opinion, it is an imaginary number. He has at most 10,000 people. Even if this 10,000 people have to be conquered by the refugees in the Minjian. What kind of war will those people fight? What are you afraid of him? Don't worry, I will give you enough troops to make He Changnian absolutely unmatched."

Liu Xiaqing kept nodding, feeling a little relieved. It seemed that His Majesty was going to send troops, starting at least 50,000, and maybe he could send 100,000 troops there.

He has been feeding animals since he joined the Red Eyebrow Army. Not to mention bringing 100,000 soldiers, he has never brought 100,000 animals. When he thought of Liu Xiaqing's confidence coming up again.

He had already thought about how to brag about Cui Laoshi and others after returning to Chang'an. The world's number one general is well-known and led a large army of 100,000 to fight against the rebellion. The general waved the flag and the bandits fled in the sight of the wind. Hey, it was quite majestic.

The emperor said again: "I asked you to go. There are two requirements. You must listen carefully and remember them. First, you must figure out what happened in Shanglinyuan? Why do you live a good life but you have to rebel with He Changnian? Do they really hate me so much? You must listen, read and ask more, and tell me all the things that happened there."

Liu Xiaqing is good at this matter. Xu Xuan ordered him to serve (surveillance) His Majesty. He reported everything clearly, no matter how big or small, and Prime Minister Xu was also very satisfied with him.

"Second," the emperor paused for a moment and said, "If they were all evil and unwilling to accept the grace of the Han Dynasty, of course they would be wiped out. But I thought that most of these people might have been deceived by He Changnian or were forced to follow the thief. If so, they would only kill the evil and eliminate those dead and hard elements. The rest would still let them go back and farm with peace of mind. Liu Qing, I believe you will distinguish right from wrong and not kill indiscriminately. Back then, you brought private camps to farm, and there was a lot of political reputation. I know you would do this job well."

The emperor did not say another important reason for him to choose Liu Xiaqing, that is, Liu Xiaqing is content and not greedy for merit, and he will not deliberately kill more and make achievements.

Generals are prone to greed for merit in order to be promoted. Regardless of whether you rebel or not, you can kill those who are next to each other. Tens of thousands of people in Shanglinyuan farm. If ordinary generals go over, they may be able to kill all the rebels and behead tens of thousands of dollars. Then it would be a great achievement to say it.

But Liu Xiaqing doesn't. He was originally a Red Eyebrow soldier, and he was kind to the rebellious Red Eyebrow army and would not be too ruthless to the refugees. Liu Xiaqing always said that he had too many entrusted households and was not worthy of it. How could he be willing to commit suicide for the sake of credit?

In short, the emperor believed that the General Fumin could not only let him know the truth of the rebellion, but also would not magnify the incident, and was a very suitable candidate to suppress the rebellion.

So Liu Xiaqing reluctantly bid farewell to his wife and her newly one-year-old son, leaving Chang'an, and headed for troops to fight in the middle of the military camp west of the city.

When the army set out early in the morning, Liu Xiaqing saw clearly the army equipped by the emperor. He stretched his neck and looked left and right. The Yueqi Captain Zhong Lihua next to him asked strangely: "General, what are you looking at?"

"Why..." Liu Xiaqing hesitated, still glanced into the distance, "Is there only so many people in total? Is there still a team coming?"

"If you go back to the general, all the rebels will be here, with a total of two thousand cavalry and four thousand infantry."

This is the "enough" army prepared for him by the emperor, a total of 6,000 people!

Liu Xiaqing thought of the appearance of the evil god He Changnian, and his vast army of tens of thousands, and felt that his legs began to become weak again. When he climbed onto the horse, his feet didn't step on it. He almost fell down. Two soldiers ran up to help the general get on the horse. Liu Xiaqing sternly repelled and slowly climbed onto the horse's back.

The General Fumin ordered the departing, and 6,000 "army" advanced westward, with cavalry in front and infantry in back, in an orderly manner. Liu Xiaqing saw that although the number of troops was small, his army was majestic and mighty, he felt relieved.

The Yueqi Captain Zhong Lihua followed Liu Xiaqing and was very attentive to him. Because everyone knew that General Fumin was the old friend of His Majesty the Emperor and his family was very generous. If Chief Zhong had the opportunity to walk with the world's largest general, he naturally had to seize this rare opportunity.

Seeing that the general's face was a little gray, Zhong Lihua hurriedly comforted: "By the last two thousand cavalry, you can sweep the rebels, and the rest of the infantry are just for escorting the rebels back to Beijing. The general doesn't have to worry about the situation of the war."

Liu Xiaqing glared at her eyes and said, "What are your cavalry? These are all soldiers of the court, your Majesty's soldiers!"

Zhong Lihua was so scared that he saluted quickly, "I will make a mistake, General, forgive me!"

Captain Zhong lagged the horse head a little behind and followed General Liu, not daring to come forward to chat with him. It seems that the general is in a bad mood now, so why should he get into this bad situation?

Zhonglihua was in his early thirties and was a good son from Tianshui County. He had the talent of commanding the army and was valued by the villagers. He gathered together with his fellow tribes and hometowns to protect himself. Later, he was recommended by the prefect Yang Yin and went to Beijing to serve. He was promoted repeatedly and became the third Yueqi captain after Liu Biao.

In Chang'an, a capital with high-ranking officials, the leader who can serve as the emperor's guards must be the sons of nobles. Zhonglihua was not from a gentry and powerful family, nor was he a member of the Red Eyebrows. He was a rare general who relied on personal talents and hard work to climb to a high position.

At his thirties, his achievements were relatively great. In his hometown of Tianshui, the entire Zhong clan status was raised by him. However, there were many senior officials in his twenties. Zhong Lihua could only blame himself for not having sex with the emperor in the cow stable.

This is how life is. The ceiling you work hard for a lifetime may be the starting price of others. The small goal of others is an illusory ideal that you can't touch even if you try your best. If you fall into this contrast, your sense of happiness will become less and less.

Even if you catch a bad handful of cards at the beginning, you have to exhaust your efforts to play the best results.

Zhong Lihua has this mentality. His origin was normal, but through hard work, he relied on strong ambition and enterprising spirit. This time, he suppressed the rebellion as another opportunity for his rise. In private, he also wanted to step on the threshold of being a marquis through this expedition.

In the Han Dynasty, in terms of military merits, there were strict conditions. The Han military law: "When the generals were beheaded, they were given 2,500 kilograms of gold and 5,000 households; when the generals were beheaded, they were given 1,500 kilograms of gold and 2,500 households; when the subordinates were arrested, they were given 1,500 kilograms of gold and 2,500 households; when the generals were arrested, they were given 1,500 kilograms of gold and 500 households." During the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, in order to inspire morale, Emperor Jing even doubled the rewards temporarily.

It was not entirely because of his luck that Li Guang was not allowed to be a marquis for life, but because his real record was not good and his hardware conditions were not enough.

Of course, if he has something to do, it would be a different matter. If a big man opens a back door for him in just one sentence, maybe the marquis will be granted. Otherwise, the style of killing 800 enemies to him, which would be difficult to seal him. Even if Li Guang and Mobei were not lost, he would never be able to seal him, because in that battle, although the Wei Qing army annihilated 19,000 enemies, he also suffered heavy losses, and his military achievements could not exceed the damage to the war. General Wei Qing did not win the title, and no one under his command was granted the title.

In comparison, Huo Qubing's record was much more impressive. He ran thousands of miles and captured three famous kings and more than 80 senior officials. He lost 10,000 yuan, annihilated 70,000 enemies, and enthroned 5,800 households. Many of his subordinates were also granted marquis.

The military meritorious marquis must be obtained by using the enemy's heads. In Zhong Lihua's eyes, the rebels, who were known as tens of thousands, were tens of thousands of heads, and were shining golden keys that could lead him into the Marquis' gate and achieve a leap in class.

On the evening of the second day of the army's expedition, it was not far from Shanglinyuan. Liu Xiaqing was about to order a camp when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. Several knights came over from afar. Seeing their appearance, they seemed to be in a hurry to go.

The army was in power, and these people did not avoid it, and rushed towards them. Liu Xiaqing muttered, "Who is this? Why are you so anxious? You don't know how to hide when you see the army? Go and see who it is. All the idle people will be taken down!"

As the Grand Tutor, Leju, and General Fumin, there were few more prominent in the Han Dynasty than him. It can be said that only others are afraid of him, but there is no reason why he is afraid of others. However, the soldiers had already stepped forward to stop him, and the person on the opposite side shouted from a distance: "Do away! Who dares to block the road!"

When they got closer, the two knights raised their whips and slapped them at the soldiers blocking the road with no heads and brainstorms, and shouted: "Things that are not eye-catching dare to stop the Grand Tutor Gang!"

When Liu Xiaqing heard about Grand Tutor Geng, he hurriedly urged him to come over. When he got closer, he saw Rong An with an angry look on his face.

Liu Xiaqing was so scared that he trembled, and quickly jumped off his horse, took a few steps forward, grabbed the reins of Yong'an's horse, raised his head and said, "Brother...Teacher, where are you going?"

Gong An snorted and said, "Let your people go away, don't block my way!"

"Does go! Dos go!" Liu Xiaqing ordered his subordinates to retreat, but his hand still pulled the reins and said with a smile: "Tao Fu, it's too late, the army is about to set up camp. It's hard for the Grand Tutor to travel around for a day. Thank you for your hard work. Otherwise, you can rest and hurry up tomorrow?"

"I have something urgent, don't bother me!"

Among the major leaders of the former Red Eyebrow Army, Pang An had a relatively irritable temper. Liu Xiaqing was his old subordinate and was very afraid of him. Later, Liu Xiaqing married Pang girl and became relatives with Pang An. This fear did not weaken, but instead became worsened because of his fear.

Rong An has always looked down on Liu Xiaqing. If the girl hadn't really found her next company to take over, he would not be willing to be Liu Xiaqing's inner brother.

But Liu Xiaqing did not dare to let him go easily. He went further to the rebel territory. What exactly did he, his inner brother, want to do? For his wife, Liu Xiaqing had to figure it out.

He pulled the reins tightly and smiled with a good temper: "Tao Fu, don't rest. This animal should be exhausted. It's time to eat some grass and drink water. When you finish your meal, I'll ask them to change a few good horses, so it's impossible to make a mistake!"

After hearing this, Yongan stopped talking and raised his legs and got off the horse. Liu Xiaqing hurriedly followed him and spoke with him all the way.

Zhong Lihua led the team to camp, the army built pots to make rice, drank horses and fed them, and was busy.

Liu Xiaqing asked Rong An to enter the tent and talked for a long time. Rong An only occasionally responded and asked him to sing a one-man show.

Liu Xiaqing finally couldn't help it, looked at the left and right, and asked in a low voice: "Trial tutor, brother, are you going to Shanglinyuan?"

"So what?" Jiang An didn't seem to want to hide it. He was just too lazy to pay attention to this brother-in-law.

The smile on Liu Xiaqing's face froze, and then his legs became weak. One of the five leaders of the Red Eyebrow Army, the former left Grand Sima, the former general of the Western Expedition, and the current Grand Tutor, was actually planning a rebellion! This is Tongtian's case! The most terrifying thing is that this is his inner brother!

He held it in for a long time before saying, "Have you discussed this with Yingzi?"

Yingzi is Pang Ying, Pang An’s girl and Liu Xiaqing’s wife.

Rong An said: "How can a real man plan with a woman when he acts?"

"But, this is a serious crime of treason, and you want to destroy the clan! Brother, Your Majesty treats me well, you can't be confused!" Liu Xiaqing had a bitter face, grabbed Rong An's sleeve, and begged: "Brother, you, you can't go!"

Yang An pulled back his sleeves and scolded, "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense!"

But Liu Xiaqing started crying with tears in his nose and tears, crying and begging for mercy, which was very sad.

Gong An was so annoyed that he saw that he was endless, he had to say, "I am going to find He Changnian, but I am not plotting against him, but killing him!"

Liu Xiaqing's tears stopped suddenly. He burst into tears and said with a smile: "It's better not to rebel, it's better not to rebel. Just stay in the camp and work with me to suppress the rebellion!"

Rong An said: "The army is moving forward, and He Changnian must lead his army to fight. At that time, the two armies will confront each other. How can they suddenly resolve? It will inevitably be blood flowing. They are all our brothers. Wouldn't they all die with He Changnian? No!"

In the morning, Rongan heard that Jiang Zhen and Wei Xing were raiding Changle Palace and were all captured. There were more than 200 Red Eyebrow soldiers, many of whom were old people he knew. There was no doubt that none of these more than 200 people, along with their whole family, could survive.

Rong An remembered that Jiang Zhen had come to ask him what he meant. Although he had warned Jiang Zhen, he did not report him due to his brotherhood, but it was precisely because of his thoughts that he had ruined more brothers.

Yang An was heartbroken, angry, and blamed himself. Thinking of the so-called rebels in Shanglinyuan, he must have ended up like this. He was excited and immediately rushed out of the city to go to Shanglinyuan to stop all this. Unexpectedly, he met Liu Xiaqing halfway.

Liu Xiaqing was afraid that he would make mistakes and tried his best to keep Rong An, but how could he stop him? Rong Anliu took a rest, ignored Liu Xiaqing and took a few of his subordinates to get on the horse and left.

Liu Xiaqing stamped his feet and ordered the army to start the camp. He rushed to chase after him regardless of the nightfall. However, the army did not move so quickly. He had just set up the camp and started the camp again. It took him a long time to get on the road. Yong An had already gone far.

When the Yueqi captain Zhong Lihua saw Jiang An traveling west overnight, he had another idea in his heart. Looking at this, does Gong Taifu mean to rebel?

Although he was surprised, he was a little happy. The more the case of rebellion became, the more contributions to the rebellion were to suppress it. A big man like Yong An joined the Shanglinyuan thief team, just to give him an extra valuable head.

I just don’t know what General Fumin thought. If he and Taifu Gong were together, this would be awful.
