Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace, front hall.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sat on the throne, looked at the civil and military officials below, and then said: "The four generals attacked the Xiongnu separately, and it took more than half a year.
Some of them were young, but they had extraordinary abilities and achieved many victories.
Some of the soldiers were senior, but they made no achievements.
They even left countless powerful men in the grassland forever."
After saying this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sounded very angry.
The officials standing next all understood who Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was talking about.
Gongsun Ao, Li Guang, and Gongsun He have all returned to Chang'an, but they brought back no good news, only bad news.
The cavalry general Gongsun Ao lost more than 7,000 men and returned to Chang'an in embarrassment to resume his life; the light chariot general Gongsun He returned without success; the brave cavalry general Li Guang returned in disgrace.
Only the chariot general Wei Qing received good news one after another and is now on his way back.
Now Gongsun Ao was trembling all over and was bowing his head; Gongsun He just stood calmly because he had nothing to gain, and did not look at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty; Li Guang stood up straight.
On his way back, Li Guang thought about it for a long time.
Because he felt that everything that happened was full of conspiracy, a conspiracy against him, or against military strategists.
It takes half a year to go back and forth from Chang'an to the northern border, so there is plenty of time for Li Guang to think about the problem.
This time Li Guang felt very aggrieved because he was captured.
Although he escaped, it would be a shame to be captured.
Li Guang is a person with strong self-esteem and a fatalistic character.
However, the attack on the Huns was too strange.
The Huns seemed to have been waiting for him to enter the net at Yanmen, and there were so many masters that he could not resist, so that he was not only maimed, but also wounded and captured.
Then he looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, his eyes full of confusion.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also looked at Li Guang.
From the beginning to the end, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only paid attention to Li Guang, the military strategist's talker.
The military strategist originated from Guigu, but gradually it became its own family and broke away from Guigu's control.
Although there are still descendants of the military strategist in Guigu, they are no longer as good as the pure military strategists who separated.
Guigu was mainly headed by the political strategists, with military strategists as assistants.
Therefore, there was a rift between the military strategists and the political strategists.
Therefore, in order to suppress the military strategists, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reused Zhufu Yan, a descendant of the political strategists.
"Gongsun Ao suffered heavy losses on this trip.
Someone will take him to Tingwei Prison.
He will be released later."
Suddenly Zhang Tang came in with two tall guards and took Gongsun Ao into custody.
Gongsun Ao was very bitter and had no excuse.
He was really unlucky this time, and his face was very helpless.
After dealing with Gongsun Ao, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Gongsun He again and said: "Gongsun He, you have made no achievements during this trip.
You have no achievements and no faults.
However, I want to remove you from your position as General of Light Vehicles.
Go home and wait for orders."
Gongsun He smiled bitterly, then turned around and left slowly.
Then came the main event, everyone looked at Li Guang.
Li Guang understood that he was the master of great achievements, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty treated him like this.
The punishment of Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao was only for him to see, and the real target of the attack was himself.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Li Guang spoke first.
"Say it," Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty replied calmly.
"All this was planned by His Majesty," Li Guang said very straightforwardly.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shook his head and said:
"I will not make fun of the lives of the Han soldiers."
Hearing this, Li Guang felt lonely.
"I am willing to accept punishment" Li Guang already understood in his heart.
Although he understood, it was very bitter.
Needless to say, he understood everything.
Even when he encountered a strong enemy, he still prepared an ambush in advance; only Wei Qing was able to win and suffered the least loss.
He also breached the Xiongnu's sacred altar and captured more than 700 Xiongnu dignitaries.
Li Guang has lived for decades.
Although he is not obsessed with court, he can easily understand many things.
"Come here, take Li Guang to Tingwei Prison and wait for Wei Qing to return," Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said.
So Li Guang was invited to Tingwei Prison.
Seeing Li Guang's performance, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had an idea in his mind.
"Everything that needs to be done has been done and the goal has been achieved.
However, it is Wei Qing's first expedition and he can still achieve such results.
It seems that it is time for Wei Qing to obtain a lot of rights," Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought.
Originally, the main target of the design this time was Li Guang, and Gongsun Ao could only be regarded as unlucky because he was innocently involved.
After saying "retreat from the court", Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left.
The ministers immediately looked at each other, and everyone's eyes were full of doubts.
"Your Majesty is taking back the military power," Master Yan murmured in his heart, but then a smile appeared on his face.
"This means it's time to suppress the military strategists.
This is also one of the tasks given to me by the Valley Master."
Master Yan thought to himself.
Three months later, Wei Qing returned triumphantly, bringing with him a large amount of loot. .
At the north gate of Chang'an City, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty personally greeted him.
"Thank you for your hard work," Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said to Wei Qing.
Wei Qing smiled and said: "For the sake of the big man, I will never work hard" It is a very hot period in August, but it is very hot and uncomfortable in Tingwei Prison.
The good relationship between Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing stems from the life-saving grace they received a few years ago.
Because Wei Zifu was pregnant, Empress Chen was jealous, so she sent people to assassinate Wei Zifu's younger brother Wei Qing.
Then Gongsun Ao took action and solved the trouble, so Wei Qing was not killed, but lived a happy life.
Because of this, Wei Qing obtained an official position.
Although Wei Zifu only gave birth to a princess, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not neglect Wei Zifu.
This year, Wei Zifu was pregnant again, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy.
He had always wanted to give Wei Zifu the position of empress, but unfortunately the title was not justified and it was difficult to arrange.
But now that the time has come, Wei Qing has made great contributions again.
With this contribution, Wei Zifu's status can be affected both emotionally and rationally.
Immediately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent people to take the prisoners into custody.
These Xiongnu nobles were used to exchange good things with the Xiongnu.
What the Western Han Dynasty lacks most now is war horses and money.
In order to develop the military, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had almost exhausted the treasury.
At the same time, in order to obtain more money, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to collect taxes to make up for the losses in training the army.
Even a person who has committed a capital crime can turn the corner and avoid the death penalty as long as he pays a certain amount of money.
Therefore, there are countless moths in the court now.
In order to survive, Gongsun Ao had already asked his family to use money to induce him, so he was released from prison soon.
But now he is a white man without any official position, so Gongsun Ao can only lock himself in the house.

Gongsun He said that he would go home and retire.
This was only on the surface.
Secretly, the relationship between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Gongsun He was unusual.
This time, Gongsun He was involved in the design.
Gongsun He was married to Wei Qing's sister Wei Ru, so he was considered a member of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he was treated very well.
This time everything was not a coincidence, but a deliberate arrangement.
For Li Guang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly took back military power, and Li Guang's family pooled money to atone for his death penalty.
Then Li Guang lived in seclusion.
In Wei Qing's words, due to his historic breakthrough on the battlefield, he was named the Marquis of Guannei, and at the same time, Wei Qing's generals were rewarded one by one.
Chu Tianshu also received the military post of General Pingxi, commanding 10,000 cavalry.
Bian Chongwu also became a captain of thousands.
It can be seen that promotion to official positions still depends on connections.
As long as the connections are in place, seniority and other things are nothing in the eyes of the emperor.
Regarding his acquisition of the general position, Chu Tianshu could only smile bitterly, as this was not his ambition.
But now he didn't say anything, he just accepted it silently.
