The seventh day of October in the fifth year of Yuanguang

Mao time

Chang'an Weiyang Palace Chengming Palace

Liu Che sat facing south with a serious expression.

The two thousand stones below, all the generals stationed in Chang'an from all over the country arrived, and even Wei Qing was exceptionally allowed to accompany Liu Che under the right side, replacing the position that originally belonged to Chuntuo.

"Zhu Aiqing, a few days ago, I asked Taiyuan Jun in the Shiqu Pavilion to lead troops to sweep away the barbarians in the east of Liaodong County after three months, so I gave him three months later to transfer troops to form an army of 18,000 people."

"I originally planned to wait for Taiyuan Jun to return to Chang'an to accept the tiger talisman, make the edict, and hold the festival, and then appoint his general and the deputy general who arranged assistance after sacrificing to heaven and earth in the temple."

According to the etiquette system, if Bai Mingzhe wants to go on an expedition, he should at least perform the "soldier" ceremony with himself in the Zongmiao.

Worship the temple and play music: beat the road drum, the road mole, sing nine songs, dance the dance of "nine sao", a total of nine times and then perform the ceremony of nakedness.

After all the sacrifices are completed, a military order is issued in the Taimiao.

This is the right way to send troops!

I only heard Liu Che's words turn around, "But, just yesterday, I received a document from Taiyuan Jun, he hopes to mobilize a total of 19,000 people from Liaodong, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Yanguo, and Liangguo to Gaomi County, Jiaodong County. First, he hoped to use the army to suppress the local Xiaoxiao and complete the salt production and fishing business as soon as possible; Second, he wanted to learn the fighting methods of Wu Yue's naval army in the Spring and Autumn Period, and tried to swim across the Bohai Sea and attack Wei's Korea from the south three months later. ”

After a pause, he glanced at the ministers below and said in a deep voice, "Nineteen thousand, this is not a small number...... What do you think about this matter? Do you call him back to Chang'an and perform the sacrificial ceremony, or do I keep everything simple, and I will directly send someone to assist, and then sacrifice again when the war is over? ”

After speaking, he set his eyes on the ranks of military generals.

In war, only the generals have the most say, so he wants to hear the opinions of this group of generals.

As expected, after Liu Che's voice ended, Li Jiao couldn't wait to stand up.

Li Jiao arched his hand, "Your Majesty, Taiyuan Jun is just a yellow-haired child, why did he let him lead a crowd of 19,000 people?" Since ancient times, generals who can lead more than 10,000 soldiers are all famous generals. Tian Sui Tho, Wu Qi, Le Yi, Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Li Mu, Han Xin, etc., all have the ability to lead troops, all from the military. Without knowing Taiyuanjun's ability, he rashly ordered him to lead his troops to carry out a national war to pacify the barbarians, in case he lost...... The heart of our Han army will definitely be shaken. ”

He sighed and continued: "Besides, Taiyuan Jun doesn't have any qualifications, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and it will be difficult to easily transfer the captain who leads the troops. Will be ordered, soldiers will not be accepted, this is a military taboo! ”

"Humble generals, please take back your life!"

"If the expedition is unavoidable, please change to another general! As the so-called virtuous do not avoid relatives, the humble general will recommend my father Li Guang! My father has been fighting for decades, and he will definitely live up to expectations and return triumphantly. ”

"Your Majesty, the opinion of the humble general on the Taiyuan Jun's troops is generally the same as that of General Li Jiao, but the person recommended by the minister is an undefeated general." Li Xi quickly stepped out of the queue and hurriedly said: "Cheng Buzhi's qualifications are not under General Li Guang, and his combat achievements are not under General Li Guang. If he leads the troops, within three months, the barbarians will definitely be pacified. In addition, if the Xiongnu take the opportunity to harass, Cheng Buzhi has the experience of fighting against the Xiongnu, and he will definitely be able to protect the army without worry. ”

Their meaning is very clear, in short, they can't let Bai Mingzhe lead the troops!

The bottom line of the two is the same: they must not let the forces of their relatives control the military again.

When Zhou Yafu died and Dou Wangsun was alive, this group of border generals didn't want to experience it a second time.

As for changing the opinion, it is natural to hope that your own boss will lead the troops.

Nineteen thousand men fighting a group of barbarians is a good opportunity to make military achievements.

After the loss of Ma Yi, there has been no opportunity to make military achievements for a long time, and now that such a good opportunity has come, how can it be easily let go?

Liu Che gently stroked the armrest of the seat, grinned, and didn't say much, but looked at Han Anguo, "Lieutenant Qing, let's talk about it." ”

Han Anguo glanced at Wei Qing, who was bowing his head, and then at Gongsun He, who was glancing at the hall.

As an old fox, he understood very well what Liu Che meant by not speaking - he was not satisfied with the opinions of Longxi and Beidi!

So, his voice was loud and confident, and he said: "Your Majesty, the humble minister thinks that it is okay to let Taiyuan Jun lead the troops, but he just needs to send a henchman to assist and guide." Now that the older generation of generals of the Han Dynasty is old, I am afraid that within ten years, they will all lose the sharpness of the year. The middle-aged generation, such as General Li Xi, General Li Jiao, and General Gongsun He, is in the limelight and in the prime of life, and can support the Han army for another twenty years. ”

"However, twenty years later, after the middle-aged generation of generals also entered the Mandate of Heaven, who should lead the Han army?"

Han Anguo smiled slightly, "Therefore, General Humble suggests that it is not impossible to train a new generation of generals in twenty years at this time!" In particular, I heard that Taiyuan Jun is proficient in the art of war, and he has obtained the true inheritance of his grandson and Liuhou, which is an opportunity for the Han Dynasty! At the beginning, Zhao Kuo talked about the army on paper, but he did not experience the real experience of leading the troops, so he had the end of the annihilation of the Zhao army in the Battle of Changping. ”

"Now the mountains and rivers of Dahan are stable, only the northern Xiongnu have been invading for years. There are no internal worries, only external troubles, so isn't it an opportunity for military training? If Taiyuan Jun is defeated and accumulates war experience, it will be a valuable asset in his future growth. I believe that with the talent of Taiyuan Jun, in less than 20 years, my great man can have one more undefeated general and flying general! ”

Li Jiao frowned, looked at Han Anguo, and said dissatisfiedly: "Lieutenant Qing's words are wrong! The Xiongnu are just a group of barbarians, our Han has declared war on the Xiongnu, and within 20 years, the Xiongnu will surely perish. Twenty years later, do you need undefeated generals and flying generals? ”

"General Li Jiao, it has been nearly a hundred years since the Xiongnu invaded the Han Dynasty. For a hundred years, the Xiongnu have not been pacified, how can you have confidence, 20 years to pacify? Han Anguo said in a tone of admonishment to the juniors, "Even if your father is here, you don't dare to claim that you will pacify the Xiongnu in twenty years, right?" ”

Li Jiao turned his head, "Hmph, you don't need to care about Lieutenant Qing." Anyway, it is completely unnecessary to let Taiyuan Jun lead the troops! If you can win steadily, why gamble with the lives of the soldiers? ”

"Okay, the two Aiqing have been arguing for so long, they must be tired, take a rest first and listen to other people's opinions." Liu Che waved his hand and interrupted the two, "Wei Qing, what do you think?" ”

Bai Mingzhe and Wei Qing walked very closely, and he wanted to see his brother-in-law's opinion.

Wei Qing looked at the two thousand stone ministers who were staring at him, smiled helplessly, came out of the ranks, faced Liu Che, and bowed his hands before saying: "Your Majesty, the humble minister thinks that Taiyuan Jun must have his thoughts when he recruits soldiers to Gaomi County. Just like the matter of water war, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, who can still bring it up? Wang Jian and Meng Tian were both famous generals on land, and they never considered naval battles. ”

He bent his waist even more, and exhaled a long breath, "Beichen feels that if there is a naval army, it may not be difficult to send troops to Minyue and South Vietnam." Now that the Xiongnu have not invaded the border of China and Han on a large scale, it is a good opportunity to train troops. ”

"In addition, 19,000 people do have some unstable possibilities. Beichen suggested that a person be sent to Gaomi County with His Majesty's edict to assist Taiyuan Jun. As for the candidates, the minister suggested that Su Jian, a lieutenant of the Northern Military Academy. ”

Liu Che was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and murmured softly, "Captain of the Northern Military Academy? Su Jian, this name is somewhat familiar. ”

Han Anguo said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this person was originally the Taishou of Daijun. After being recommended by the king, he came to Chang'an and became a captain of the Northern Military Academy. ”

"It turned out to be him!" Liu Che suddenly realized, "What is this person's personality?" ”

Han Anguo said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to vouch for his life, this person has a pure character, integrity and integrity, if he is sent to assist Taiyuan Jun, he will definitely be able to complete the task assigned by His Majesty." And when Su Jian was in the Northern Army, he had been commanding 800 people, and he had experience in leading troops, which could provide experience to Taiyuan Jun. ”

Li Xi squinted his eyes, glanced at Wei Qing coldly, and then stared at Han Anguo, "Serving Zhonggong, Lieutenant Qing, it's not appropriate to let the captain of the Northern Military Academy interfere in the affairs of the county and country, right?" ”

Han Anguo asked rhetorically, "Why is it not appropriate?" It's all allegiance to Your Majesty, what's wrong? ”

Li Xi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I just think that this is not in line with the law of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, if it is implemented, how will the world think of it?"

"Hahaha, the law of the ancestors?" Han Anguo didn't laugh angrily, "My Han's way of treating the ancestors of the Huns is friendly!" Now that the war is declared on the Xiongnu, the law of the ancestors is not followed! What did the people think of the declaration of war on the Xiongnu? Regard Your Majesty's actions as King Xuan's expulsion of Xirong, and your Majesty as the Emperor of the Three Generations! ”

As a native of Longxi, Li Jiao was more familiar with the history of the Zhou royal family's expulsion of Western barbarians, and hurriedly said: "In the past, King Xuan expelled Xirong because of the Nanzhong general!" Now His Majesty is King Xuan, and Taiyuan Jun is not necessarily Nanzhong! It's not a good thing to let a junior with no experience in leading troops transfer troops to build an army! ”

After Liu Che heard this, he sighed faintly, "The country is not out of Nanzhong, this is my fault!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they were so frightened that they all knelt down in a hurry, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, this is the fault of the ministers!"

"Alas, Qing and the others are arguing, how can I decide? Qing and others are all reasonable, and it is difficult to choose. ”

Li Xi and Li Jiao glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, and then bowed together, "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

Wei Qing and Han Anguo also bowed their hands, "Your Majesty think twice!" ”

Liu Che sighed heavily, "Alas, let me think for a while." ”

After saying that, he lowered his head, closed his eyes, and thought quietly.

Although Longxi and Beidi oppose it, sending troops to Wei North Korea is a matter of longevity, and it can't be sloppy!

This war must be fought!

And what Li Xi said is not unreasonable, it seems that it is really inappropriate to let a hairy boy be a general.

It's really hard to do.

Just as he was thinking about the trade-off, suddenly, a shout came from outside the hall, "Report !! Your Majesty, Gaomi County 800 miles expedited !! ”

Liu Che opened his eyes suddenly, jumped up from his seat at once, and shouted, "Quick, let the herald come in!" ”

Bai Mingzhe actually sent someone again, something must have happened.

"Propaganda orders the soldiers to go to the temple!"

"Xuan! Heralds go to the temple! ”

The gate of the Chengming Hall opened, and a herald dressed in coarse linen clothes hurriedly rushed into the Chengming Hall with a silk book in his hand, and his mouth was still shouting, "Report!" Report!! Gaomi County is in a hurry! ”

Liu Che waved his hand and ordered: "Chuntuo, hurry up and get it!"

"No!"

After receiving the two silk books written by Bai Mingzhe, Liu Che exhaled and began to read.

With each line he read, the tremors of his body increased by one point.

When he read the part of Nan Zhongjun, his pupils were already bloodshot, and the green tendons on his forehead had already bulged well.

His face was red, and he was so excited that he couldn't help it and read it out loud.

The loud and firm voice combined with the momentum of the Ninth Five-Year Venerable on Liu Che's body instantly made the three words of Nan Zhongjun extremely heavy, and even, many ministers in the Chinese official queue of the Chengming Hall were out of breath.

"Mingzhe is not talented, and he is willing to follow the example of Nanzhong, pacify the barbarians, and spread the name of a strong man at home and abroad."

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister."

"Today's military success, I issued the first military order, and it is also a military order that cannot be changed - those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!"

"Hahahaha! Good! All right! A good person who offends me as a strong man, although he is far away, he will be punished! What a whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister! Liu Che slapped his thigh violently, smiling non-stop, and couldn't help but cheer.

In his opinion, Bai Mingzhehua's use of "the whole world is the king's land, and the four seas are all kings' ministers" in "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Gufengzhishi, Beishan" is simply an abbreviation of his lifelong pursuit.

Just now lamenting that there is no Nanzhong in the country, Bai Mingzhe preached his hope to establish the Nanzhong Army!

What is this not a confidant?

If the generals of the Han Dynasty have this kind of awareness, why did they lose Mayi?

Liu Che's chest continued to rise and fall, and his breathing became rapid.

Putting down this silk book, he glared at the group of generals, raised his voice, and said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you will remember this sentence!" : Those who commit me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away! ”

Without holding back the excitement in his heart, Liu Che shouted twice!

"Even if it is far away, it will be punished!"

"Even if it is far away, it will be punished!"

Perhaps infected by the atmosphere generated by Liu Che, the civil and military officials knelt on the ground at the same time, bowed to Liu Che, and shouted at the same time, "Your Majesty Shengming!" Those who commit me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away! ”

"Hahahaha!" Liu Che laughed, sat down again, folded the silk book neatly, and said, "Taiyuanjun wants to establish the Nanzhong Army!" What do you think? ”

Bai Mingzhe said that he wanted to be Nanzhong, and the implication was that Liu Che was King Xuan.

Although Li Jiao has the pride of the old Li family, he is not a fool and knows what not to do.

Xuan Yang is the king of the Zhou royal family, and if he prevents Bai Mingzhe from establishing the Nanzhong Army, he is preventing Liu Che from keeping up with the three generations.

He doesn't want to die!

In the end, Li Jiao smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty...... The minister thinks...... Taiyuan Jun can be a general, however, he still needs someone to help. Among the guards, Su Jian was recommended, but Beichen felt that Li Fu was more suitable. ”

Looking at Liu Che's puzzled expression, he added: "Li Fu serves Emperor Jing and has a certain reputation in the army. If he had helped, the soldiers would have no complaints. And General Li Fu is open-minded and does not care, there will definitely not be a situation where the two generals will fight, I hope Your Majesty will consider it. ”
