Liu Tan was taken aback after hearing this: "Gongsun Ao? He came in person?"

Miao Rui replied: "Yes, he came in person."

Liu Tan said with a smile: "It's strange, I thought he didn't plan to come."

Li Buyan, who was still smirking at the side just now, suddenly darkened: "Tell him to go back! What did you do?"

It's been almost ten days since Liu Tan came back, and he just came here?

Liu Tan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, what should you all do, let General Gongsun come in."

Huo Guang frowned slightly: "Your Highness, this person is so arrogant..."

Liu Tan raised his hand and said, "Even for His Royal Highness's sake, I still want to see him."

When Liu Tan mentioned the prince, Huo Guang stopped talking immediately.

Although he is now assisting Liu Tan wholeheartedly, he still has a bias towards the prince. At the same time, he hates Gongsun Ao more and more, and decides to go back and write a letter to the prince.

The prince is a good prince, but it is really not a good thing to have such a slow-down guy around him.

Liu Che looked at Gongsun Ao differently because he had saved Wei Qing, and Gongsun Ao had always stood by the prince's side, but if he could not be reused, it would affect the prince's impression in the emperor's heart.

Huo Guang led the people out while thinking.

When he went out, he happened to meet Gongsun Ao.

Gongsun Ao's attitude towards Huo Guang is still very good. He is of the same generation as Wei Qing, and when he looks at Huo Guang, he also looks at the younger generation.

It's just that Huo Guang grew up beside Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty since he was a child, and Gongsun Ao didn't dare to pose as an elder to him, so he just smiled and said hello: "Ah Guang is here too."

Huo Guang nodded to Gongsun Ao and said: "Your Highness is inside, General Gongsun should not make His Highness wait any longer."

Gongsun Ao heard the warning in Huo Guang's words, broke out in a cold sweat instantly, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I'll go right away, I won't tell Ah Guang more."

Huo Guang looked at Gongsun Ao's back and narrowed his eyes slightly, Jiang Chong who was beside him said curiously: "This Gongsun Ao has changed his temper?"

Huo Guang sneered: "I think he only knows how to be afraid now."

As for the reason for fear, don't think about it, it's either the emperor or the prince.

Huo Guang's guess was right. After Liu Tan's letter arrived in Chang'an, both Liu Che and Liu Ju read it.

When Liu Che saw the destruction of Shuofang City, his vision went dark, and he was relieved when he saw that the date was said to be after the twelfth lunar month of last year.

Liu Tan didn't realize that there was a problem with Gongsun Ao until later, but Liu Che discovered the problem at that time.

He built the Surrender City to advance the battle line with the Huns. If the Surrender City was built to allow the Huns to plunder Shuofang, then what was the Surrender City built for?

Immediately, Liu Che was so angry that he was half dead. He turned to Liu Yue and said, "Go and write a letter to Gongsun Ao and ask him if he wants to rebel?!"

Liu Ju was angry and anxious, and hurriedly said: "Father, the most urgent thing is to let brother come back first! If the Xiongnu can go to Shuofang once, they can go a second time!"

Liu Che waved his hand: "If you ask him to come back now, he won't come back."

When Liu Tan left, the phrase "The king bears the country, the prince guards the country" was so eloquent. Now when he really needs him to guard the country, let him come back?

If this matter were placed on Liu Che's other sons, such as Liu Dan, Liu Mao and Liu Fuling, Liu Che would not doubt that they would come back immediately.

However, Liu Tan definitely refused, just look at the fact that Liu Che obviously sent someone to welcome him into the customs, but he insisted on leading someone to fight backhands, so he knew that this kid was very angry.

After suffering such a big loss, he wouldn't be him if he didn't get back with revenge!

Liu Ju also reacted quickly, and said worriedly in his heart: "But... if the Huns come again..."

Liu Che gritted his teeth and said, "Go and tell Gongsun Ao that if the Huns dare to appear within fifty miles of Shuofang City again, let him come and see him!"

Liu Ju immediately said: "Yes!"

To be honest, he originally had this thought too, but he couldn't say anything if Liu Che didn't speak, and the crown prince couldn't threaten the important officials of the court either!

Now that Liu Che is speaking, Liu Ju feels relieved.

After instructing Liu Ju to write a letter to Gongsun Ao, Liu Che turned his head and said, "Please come, Da Si Nong."

Sang Hongyang was lazing in his Dasinong Mansion, but was called into the palace by Liu Che. When he entered the palace, he was still a little puzzled: What's the matter?

However, Liu Che did not answer his questions, but asked a series of questions: "How was the tax revenue last year? How is the grain storage in various places?"

As a chief minister, Sang Hongyang has never neglected his duties, and he is familiar with these data, but when he heard these questions, he was still surprised, why did the emperor suddenly think of asking this?

After he finished answering, he suddenly realized: Could it be that the emperor wants to fight again!

Liu Ju on the side was very sure that his father wanted to beat the Huns, so he said that Gongsun Ao had made such a big mistake, why did his father ask him to write a letter to warn him, but did not issue an edict to scold him, so he was waiting here. It's on.

But everyone's guessing is guesswork, and Liu Che didn't say that he really wanted to fight after asking.

Although Liu Che is furious now, like Liu Tan, he feels that this is not a good time.

Now is the time for planting in spring, and if a war starts now, it means that all labor will go to war, and this year's harvest will be affected, and this impact will not only affect tax revenue, but also affect the survival of the people.

So even Liu Che would not provoke a war at this time, but would only make intensive preparations and send troops to fight the Xiongnu at about the same time.

After Liu Ju scolded Gongsun Ao severely after writing the letter, he hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Father, Gongsun Ao is not a general, so let him come back."

He wasn't sure why Gongsun Ao ignored the invading Huns. Anyway, he was dereliction of duty. Thinking about Gongsun Ao's record, it would be worrying to continue sending him there.

As for the other thought, he firmly held it in his heart and didn't dare to think about it.

Liu Che glanced at him and said, "Don't think too much, Tan'er doesn't care, it means he knows what's in his mind."

Liu Ju pursed his lips, the thoughts in his heart were shattered, he wished to throw out all these draggers, one Liu Quyu and the other Gongsun Ao.

These two people are doing things in the name of his good, forget it Liu Quyu, he has ulterior motives, Gongsun Ao... this is doing bad things with good intentions!

It's just that the big man has left behind the concept that royal brothers are all competitors since the founding of the country, and probably no one really thought that a powerful prince could be respectful to the prince's brother and friend.

Liu Ju was a little depressed. The letter he wrote earlier had already been sent, so he had no choice but to go back and write another letter scolding Gongsun Ao for making his own decisions.

Then he heard that after his younger brother returned to Shuofang City, Gongsun Ao didn't even visit him, and he was even more angry, so he wrote another letter scolding Gongsun Ao.

Gongsun Ao was dizzy and scolded bloody by the prince's three consecutive letters. What made him even more afraid was the prince's attitude and the emperor's attitude revealed.

So Gongsun Ao didn't dare to neglect any more, and hurriedly came over to plead guilty.

When Gongsun Ao saw Liu Tan, he apologized in various ways. Liu Tan smiled on the surface and sneered in his heart. Are you scared now?What did you do early?

Although Gongsun Ao is not good at fighting, he has been in the court for so many years. He knew that just apologizing would not calm Liu Tan, so he said: "Your Highness, this time it was my minister's mistake, but the Huns came too suddenly. If it was someone from Captain Zuo who came, it is impossible for us not to receive news, but this time it is said that the person was appointed by Wushilu, and not many people from the Xiongnu knew about it before coming!"

Captain Zuo and Wu Shilu?

Liu Tan suddenly remembered one thing: "Previously Captain Zuo conspired with us to execute Wushilu, and the Surrender City was built after the emperor agreed to deal with Wushilu. Why is Wushilu still alive now?"
