Chapter 68: I Have a Word

When it comes to the world's famous generals, if Wang Yi is called second, no one dares to call him first.

At that time, Wang Mang said that the heart of the Han Dynasty was clearly revealed, and Zhai Yi, the Taishou of Dongjun, boasted that he was a loyal minister of the Han family, so he colluded with the local Liu surname clan, and brazenly raised troops when the county soldiers tried in September. Strangle his chariots and horses, recruit brave men in the county, deploy generals, call himself the general of Zhutian, move the county, and crusade against Wang Mang.

At one time, the three counties responded, and the number of people reached more than 100,000!

At the same time, taking advantage of the elite soldiers of the imperial court to enter the east to quell the chaos, Sanfu also had henchmen to respond to Zhai Yi, and the heroes of Huaili claimed to be generals, and more than 100,000 people were also involved, and even the front hall of Weiyang Palace could see the fire.

These two huge moves, but Wang Mang's younger brother Wang Yi took command and was easily pacified.

Wang Yi calmly commanded, Chen Liu, the first battle was victorious; Fight again in the city and break the army of Zhai Yi; Chased to the beginning of the solid, beheaded the enemy chieftain, smashed the corpse in the city, and the huge move was easily swept away, before and after only three months.

Then Wang Yi's troops moved westward and attacked the rebels in Guanzhong, but in two months, they were wiped out and the counties were pacified. He also taught Zhenlu, Wang Mang placed wine in the White Tiger Palace, and feasted on Wang Yi, saying: "My brother should be the first general in the world, and today's master is still the father!" ”

That was the battle for the founding of the new dynasty, after more than ten years, there was no major rebellion in the world, and Wang Yi was also among the "three dukes" after that, and he was full of ambition.

But after that, there was no longer a share of the king's share in the big and small wars, and the emperor only regarded him as the treasure of the town and the country and offered it in Chang'an. When fighting the Western Regions and the Southwest Yi, Wang Yi repeatedly asked for his life, but was politely rejected by Wang Mang with "killing chickens with a knife".

Then the battle with the Huns must be let him play? Counting up, the first time the new dynasty declared war on the Xiongnu was ten years ago, when it launched the Northern Expedition of the Twelfth Route Army and went their separate ways. As a result, Wang Yi saw the list from beginning to end, but still did not find his name.

This time too, the emperor decided to take the great Sima Yan as the commander-in-chief, and the first general Lian Dan as the deputy.

Wang Yi was very unconvinced by this, and said secretly: "I am a new general, and I am a member of the royal family, and I have the great merit of attacking the city and quelling the rebellion, and Yan You is just familiar with the art of war. ”

Today is the day when the emperor gave Yan You the axe, Wang Yi, as the chief secretary, must attend, he was unhappy and dressed out, but was stopped at the door of the mansion.

"Da Sikong, I have a word!"

Wang Yi looked down on the person who was stopped by the guard of honor, the yellow ribbon and the small crown, in his early thirties, but it was Cao Shi and Fan Sheng, the great priest he recruited last year.

"What's the matter with the Defense?"

Fan Sheng bowed down and said, "The documents played by the subordinates, have you ever read it?" ”

It's okay not to mention it, but as soon as he mentioned this, Wang Yi frowned.

Fan Sheng's letter was issued in response to Wang Mang's conquest of the Xiongnu, and he said in the article that "the Son of Heaven thinks that disobedience from afar is the biggest worry, but Fan Sheng thinks that the displeasure of the people in the country is worth worrying."

The whole article is an exhortation to the Northern Expedition, believing that the actions of the imperial court are out of place, and Wang Mang does things contrary to common sense, just like galloping on the rut of a capsized car, and following the trajectory of defeat.

Wang Yi waved his hand to drive him away: "You are a Confucian student, concentrate on studying the "Liang Qiu Yi" that you are good at, what do you know about national politics and military?" Don't make such arrogant statements. ”

Fan Sheng was anxious, knelt on the ground with his arms open, stopped Wang Yi's footsteps to move forward, and said: "Da Sikong, today's matter is clear in the sun and moon, and the shock is in the thunder, it is winter, but Ding Zhuang is recruited to serve in the distance, the quinoa is not full, the fields are not cultivated, the grain price is soaring, and the Kanto region has been in drought for many years, and it has risen to thousands of stones!" When the people are caught in the fire, they will no longer regard themselves as the citizens of the country, but will have a heart of rebellion. If this continues, I am afraid that Bian Saihu and Qi are still outside the fortress, but Qingxu's Kou Lizidu, Fan Chong, and Lu Mu will enter the tent, and the soldiers are coming! ”

"The reason why Fan Sheng risked his life to admonish him was because he hoped to assist Da Sikong and solve the world's upside down, so as not to make the world blame Da Sikong! I hope you can introduce me to the Son of Heaven, as Chen said! ”

Wang Yi didn't listen to it, and scolded: "Alarmist! What kind of advice can you have when you are a subordinate of the state? ”

"Fan Shengding is too idle to think about it all day long, and the party's conscription and food have not been collected yet, so he will send you to recruit and transfer!"

Saying that, Wang Yi waved his hand and asked Fan Sheng to drive away, board the car and go to Shoucheng's room, ignoring his shouts and admonitions.

Having said that, it was not the first time Wang Yi had heard similar words.

The great Sima Yanyou has always been opposed to the use of soldiers by the Huns.

As early as ten years ago, when the first war was declared on the Xiongnu, Yan You had admonished Wang Mang, and he summarized the strategies of the Zhou, Qin, and Han to deal with the Hu people in the north, thinking that Zhou had the middle strategy, the Han had to make a decision, and the Qin was the most inferior, and this dynasty wanted to follow the Qin Dynasty's policy to deal with the Xiongnu, which was really a great mistake.

In the planning of the second declaration of war, Wang Mang took a fancy to the replacement of the Xiongnu who had just taken the place of Shan Yu, and the new Shan Yu was unable to control the tribe due to his lack of prestige, which was really a good opportunity to send troops once and for all, so

It was decided to lure the son-in-law of the Ninghu clan, the right bone of the Hou Xubu, to come to the court, set him up as Shan Yu, and openly split the Xiongnu.

But Yan You felt that this strategy was stupid: "Xu Budang is on the right side of the Xiongnu, inheriting the government of Ning Hu Yan and Hu Han Evil Shan Yu, the subordinates have never violated the border, and always secretly inform the court of Shan Yu's news, and Yu Xinfang is a big help." Now that he is welcomed into the court and placed in the barbarian mansion on Gaojie Street, Xu Budang is just an ordinary Hu person, but he is trying to get rid of an opponent for the Xiongnu, which is far less beneficial than letting him stay in the Xiongnu response. ”

Yan You is like this, he has seen a lot of the art of war, he is known to be wise and strategic, and he opposes Wang Mang's attack on Siyi, and he does not obey several advices.

Wang Yi and Yan You don't deal with each other very well, so in domestic and foreign affairs, they pay attention to everything and oppose You.

Yan You opposed him, he supported it, so Wang Yi strongly supported Wang Mang's policy, and he made great efforts to implement the second declaration of war against the Xiongnu.

Therefore, it is impossible for Wang Yi to suddenly oppose the war as Fan Sheng said, which is gambling his political life.

Thinking so, the car driver had already entered the Shoucheng room and stopped at the fourth gate of Wang Road.

These four gates are divided into the east, west, north and south of the center of the Shoucheng room, originally called the bus Sima Gate, and the ministers all got off here when they entered the palace, and later the name was changed by Wang Mang.

It was also renamed, as well as the former hall of the Han Dynasty, which is now called "Wang Lu Hall".

But what Wang Yi went to today was the greenhouse hall of the emperor's bedroom.

As for the greenhouse, Wang Yi handed the sword to the Lang official at the door, and only then entered the palace, but found that the atmosphere inside was not quite right, there was already a figure behind the mica screen that isolated the monarch and the ministers, it should be His Majesty the Emperor himself, and the five Wei Si in the hall Chen Chong, the first general Lian Dan and others were all around.

There is only one person kneeling in the center, and it is actually the great Sima Yanyou who should have become the protagonist of today's axe.

But he saw Yan You looking at the figure of the emperor behind the mica screen and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a word!" ”

……

"In the past, Qin Shi Huang couldn't bear to be ashamed and lightly used the people's power, built the Great Wall, stretched for thousands of miles, and the people transferred grain and straw, starting from the seashore; Although the territory was completely consolidated, it caused China's internal exhaustion, Chen and Wu raised troops, Liu Xiang followed, and finally Qin mourned Sheji, and the people who died in Qin were not Hu people, but Hu Weifei's national policy. ”

"Today, we have suffered from the misfortune of Yangjiu, and there has been famine for many years, especially on the northwest edge, and there has been a tragic situation of cannibalism in the past two years. Now it is necessary to send a large army to recruit the Xiongnu, even if 100,000 people prepare 300 daily rations, they must aid Haidai in the east and Jianghuai in the south to be sufficient. Counting the journey to the Xiongnu, the army will only be assembled next spring, and it will be able to reach the border in the summer. ”

Yan You raised his head, looked at the mica screen and said: "Such a great use of people's power is like repeating the mistakes of the dead Qin, and the art of war has clouds, 'The Taoist, so that the people and the upper can agree, so they can die with it, can live with it, and are not afraid of danger'." Now from the officials, the wealthy right to the small people in Lilu, they are all separated from the court because of the protection of horses, slave money, and taxes, how can they be willing to fight? Therefore, this northern expedition is indispensable, and the ministers are worried! ”

He said the words that he had been holding back for a long time in one breath, and for a while Wang Lutang was silent, and the other four assistants and three dukes were silent, only a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Yi's mouth.

And after a long silence, a large, hoarse voice sounded behind the mica screen.

"Then according to the opinion of the Great Sima, the battle with the Huns cannot be beaten?"

When the emperor is in the palace, he likes to hide behind the mica screen, so that he cannot be seen outside his cronies.

Yan You paused again: "However, according to the minister's humble opinion, the Huns can be put in the future and then cleaned up, the first thing to worry about the Kwantung thieves!" ”

Wang Mang didn't speak, as if he was thinking, but he had noticed that Wang Yi was coming, so he said, "What does Da Sikong think?" ”

Wang Yi waited for this moment, and immediately spoke: "Qingxu Lumu, Fan Chong, and Lizidu are just a little Kou, and I don't know why Da Sima is so concerned, not to mention, the Son of Heaven has sent Taifu Xi Shushi Sun Xi to send the county soldiers to clean up the thieves in the rivers and lakes, and they must be able to calm down soon." ”

Yan You turned his head and glared at Wang Yi: "Da Sikong said it lightly, what if Chen Wu and Liu Xiang are among them, and it endangers the society?" ”

Wang Yi laughed: "It's ridiculous, back then, Zhai Yi and other generations had hundreds of thousands of people, and the response of the east and west could not shake the society in the slightest, let alone today?" If there are ministers, they will not let the hustle and bustle jump off the beam! ”

He turned to look at Yan You: "It's that Da Sima is the main general, but he was suspicious of the army before the war, is this really appropriate?" ”

The two "famous generals" of this dynasty argued in the court, until Wang Mang's cough came.

"Today was supposed to be awarded the axe, and the auspicious day was chosen to motivate the soldiers. But when Da Sima came out of the court, he still didn't understand my good intentions. ”

"Great Sima You!"

Yan You was shocked and bowed down: "The minister is here." ”

Wang Mang stopped talking, and only asked Zhonghuangmen to announce his book.

"Da Sima You has been looking at things for four years, the barbarian and cunning summer cannot be stopped, the thieves and treacherous evils cannot be extinguished, they are not afraid of the power of heaven, they don't need edicts, they look very self-conscious, they will not waver, they will not be dissenting, they are persistent, and they are not depressed. I couldn't bear to be reasonable, and the great Sima Wu Jianbo was sealed, abolished as a common person, and sent back to the old county! ”

"No......"

Yan You closed his eyes in despair, only slowly untied the golden seal and purple ribbon, as well as his own martial arts crown, after handing over the Yellow Gate, he only walked out of the court in despair, and when he passed by Wang Yi, in the face of Da Sikong's rather smug look, Yan You just shook his head silently, he had done his best.

After Yan You left, Wuwei Si ordered Chen Chong to sigh and said: "I thought that Yan Boshi was familiar with the art of war and should understand His Majesty's good intentions, but I didn't want him to be so shallow, only on the surface, and not on the bottom of the truth. ”

"The former Han Dynasty has the shame of Bai Deng, there is the humiliation of relatives, after Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Huns seem to be subordinate, listed as the North Basket, in fact, they give countless gold silk every year, Huanglong gave 20,000 horses of splendid silk, 20,000 catties of silk, and added to 30,000 horses when mourning the emperor, and turned to three or four million Hu before and after the border county grain rice, to support its food."

"Emperor Liu spends tens of millions of dollars every year to send it to the northern captives, how is it different from paying tribute? Rong Di jackal, you can't get tired of it, this strategy seems to be fettered, but it is actually a coward! ”

"Gong Nu recuperated after a Jiazi, the people and animals multiplied, and the strength has caught up with Mao Dun and the old man, enslaving Wuhuan and harassing the Western Regions. And Gongnu is good at threatening to only recognize the descendants of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and disobey the new room. Although on the surface he sent envoys to make peace with us, in fact he secretly instigated the plundering of the left and right tribes. ”

"Since the founding of the country, it has frequently invaded and invaded, killed two counties, plundered countless people and livestock, especially after Tianfeng, Koubian, wanted to ask for harmony, let the north and south be compatible, end the name of the monarch and minister, and even covet the land of the border counties, so arrogant, how can you not fight back!"

"Yes, yes." Compared with Yan You's anti-ear advice, Chen Chong's words obviously moved Wang Mang more, and he spoke behind the screen: "But Gongnu is wrong, my dynasty is different from the former Han Dynasty, I don't get along, I don't pay tribute, and I don't give up an inch of land!" ”

"Poetry is not cloudy? I am in a hurry! Gong Nu can be subdued, but it is difficult to turn into a sword, and he will be beaten to his generation until Ding Ling Beihai. The country shall be divided into fifteen parts, and each part shall not exceed 10,000 households, so as not to make it grow again, and leave it to future generations. ”

"As for the thieves in the rivers and lakes that Yan You said, doesn't he know that Annei must go outside first?"

For a while, from Wang Yi to Lian Dan and Chen Chong, they all bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is wise!" This holy king is also the way to resist barbarians. ”

The matter of awarding the axe was postponed for the time being, and after the ministers retreated, Chen Chong approached the screen and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to play, Yan You Some time ago, he frequently went in and out of Xuanmingli, and discussed the government with the old Zhongsan doctor Yangxiong, and today's affairs may have been influenced by Yangxiong. ”

"Yangxiong, are you still alive?"

Wang Mang hadn't heard the name of his old colleague for a long time, and he was stunned when he heard the words, but said: "Ziyun has always been timid, never related to things, and concentrates on learning, since he was misunderstood by Wuwei Mansion and arrested and thrown into the pavilion, he has been even more silent, in the past ten years, he has rarely even made any comments on the government and politics, and is satisfied with being quiet and self-controlled, what can he have to do with this matter?" Yan You has been dismissed from the official position and returned to the county, there is no need to investigate deeply, as for Yangxiong, don't bother him! ”

Chen Chong said with a smile: "The subordinates have no such intentions, they just report truthfully, but Your Majesty, like Yan You, there are not a few people who question the Northern Expedition, and this voice is all over the government and the opposition, even if Your Majesty's benevolence and virtue are not investigated, but in the end, the war is unfavorable." ”

Wang Mang's voice came from behind the screen: "What is the plan of the Marquis of Tongmu? ”

Chen Chongdao: "Where there is a big expedition, there must be a great endowment." When the Han Dynasty attacked the southwest Yi, the old doctor in Yizhou was puzzled, so Sima Xiangru wrote "The Father of Nanshu" as a satirical metaphor. ”

"For example, there is no Yangziyun in today's articles, and Yangxiong is also known for being familiar with Hulu when he was mourning in the previous dynasty. Now that Your Majesty is marching north to Gongnu, it is better to let Yang Xiong write a eulogy, which will definitely dispel the noise between the DPRK and China! Let them be convinced, please take the lead! ”
