Chapter 181: Protect Our Young Brother
After chatting with Chu Da for a whole afternoon, Zhang Yuan brought Wei Qing over for a night's talk.
Both agreed with Zhang Yuan's idea.
Chu Da also changed from the mood of going to the ghost gate to pass for a while, if Zhang Yuan's plan can really succeed, no one will be held accountable for his crimes.
Even the feudal marquis is a trivial matter, although there is only one Xiongnu, he can't bear the king.
Brothers, divide the Hun kings in Hanoi equally, and let everyone be crowned.
"Two elder brothers, this time the younger brother will personally go to Chang'an City to meet His Majesty."
Zhang Yuan and Chu Da didn't want Wei Qing to bear so much, and they were even more afraid that Liu Che would misunderstand what was between Liu Che and Chu Da.
The relationship between several people is really a little delicate, not to mention that Wei Qing is Wei Zifu's younger brother, the only thing that may benefit or benefit the most from this matter is their Wei family.
Then Liu Che knew that Chu Da had denounced Chen Ajiao, and he also knew that the wizard Chu Fu was introduced by Chu Da.
It can't help but be reminiscent of those other things, and it's really impossible not to associate them.
This is also the point of dispute between Zhang Yuan and Chu Da and Wei Qing.
Zhang Yuan clearly knew what kind of person Wei Qing was, a person who no one could find his shortcomings until he died.
A perfect person in the truest sense of the word.
Know how to advance and retreat, know how to measure!
If Liu Che repaired the mountain-like mausoleum of Qilian for Huo Quai's illness all because of his irrepressible love for Huo Qubing in his heart and Huo Quzhi's talent, then giving Wei Qing such a great honor after Wei Qing's death was entirely because Wei Qing knew how to measure.
Liu Che is an emperor who does not judge characters by merit, and simply relies on his own preferences.
During the decades that Liu Che was in power, most of the political opinions of the Han Dynasty were either the policies of the enemy, and Zhang Yuan believed that they were Liu Che's intentions, or they were presented after his guidance.
So Zhang Yuan didn't want Wei Qing to stumble Wei Qing when he was going straight to the sky, and he didn't want anyone to smear him, even if it was well-intentioned, it was for the sake of the big man.
"Brother Qing, don't say it, this matter is settled.
Your Majesty will not forget you on such an important matter, you should go to Dinghu Yanshou Palace and wait first.
When Brother Chu and I go to Jianzhang Palace, if Your Majesty intends to adopt it, he will definitely call you back to Beijing. ”
Zhang Yuan is still very persistent, and there is nothing to say about this matter.
Although he actually has to avoid suspicion, if he does, then Chu Da may not be able to enter Jianzhang Palace.
Chu Da also needs a strong recommendation from a person, or a guarantee for Chu Da.
Even if you have to take a large part of the risk.
"I can't let my brother take risks anymore while I'm picking up the credit for it.
In the battle of Mayi, the elder brother should be the one who was the marquis, but the elder brother did not obtain the corresponding military merits. ”
Wei Qing still felt a little guilty in his heart, he always felt that the high priest of the Huns should be counted on Zhang Yuan's head.
"If I can go out with the army this time, it will be good for the King of Lou Fu and the King of Aries to divide one of them.
When the time comes, it's time for your brother and my military exploits to come to an end. ”
Zhang Yuan now also feels Tang Meng and Gongsun Ao.
In an era when everyone yearns for a marquis right away, it is a good practice to catch a Xiongnu king and cut off his head, or even capture Chang'an City alive and let the Xiongnu King dance for the nobles of Chang'an City.
Zhang Yuan is not so thin-skinned, saying that he can't catch it, and there is nothing to be ashamed of letting others catch it.
"The feudal marquis is not the end, there is still a feudal estate."
Wei Qing said with a nonchalant expression, and despised Zhang Yuan by the way.
"There is a lot of trouble in the feudal country, and if I don't know what happened in the feudal country, it dragged me down."
Let Zhang Yuan work for Liu Che, it's really hard to really worry about governing a place.
"You two have that much faith in that plan?"
Chu Da thought that it was outrageous enough for him to talk to Zhang Yuan about Zhang Qian, who was missing, but the two brothers now regarded the Marquis title of the Great Han as something in their pockets.
Zhang Yuan laughed out loud and said to Chu Da.
"Brother Chu, when you return to Chang'an City from the Huns, Brother Qing and I will prepare Yi Zhixi's head and give it to you."
As soon as people swell, they love to talk and pout.
Zhang Yuan is like this now, he feels that if he really has an internal response within the Xiongnu and can know in detail where the Xiongnu army is, it will really not be too far away from eliminating the entire Xiongnu nation.
"Brother Yuan's heart is really big, Yi Zhixian is the king of the Huns.
Even if we can beat Shan Yuting, we may not be able to catch him. ”
Wei Qing was still a little embarrassed, the king of Zuogu Li was much stronger than the king of Lou Fu, the king of Aries.
After all, it is a Xiongnu royal family, and it enjoys the Xiongnu single person who inherits the throne.
Zhang Yuan smiled and didn't say anything more.
Yi Zhixian is not only the king of the Huns, this guy will become the Huns' big Dan Yu sooner or later.
"Ah Yuan, don't say that the capture of King Zuogu Li is to capture the King of Zuo Xian of the Huns."
Chu Da doesn't care so much anyway, and it may be to cover up the traces of Zhang Yuan's bragging.
Now the Xiongnu's Zuoxian King is still the uncle of the military minister, Yi Zhixian is the younger brother of the Xiongnu Shan Yu Junchen, it is estimated that when this Zuoxian King dies, he is estimated to be the next Zuoxian King.
If there is anything wrong in the middle, it is also possible that the son of the military minister Shan Yu will become such an important position as the king of the left and right.
The king of the Han Dynasty is no better than the king of the Huns, and the king of the Huns is called a freedom.
For a long time, the three of the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu Dadanyu led up to half of the Xiongnu tribes.
The status of all the left and right virtuous kings is very important, and it is not strange to say that with a wave of a sword, tens of thousands of cavalry roared and rushed out.
"Brother Qing, Brother Chu, from now on, our goal is not the king of the Huns.
Why can't we catch the Huns' Shan Yu and dance? ”
The more Zhang Yuan thought about it, the more crazy he became, if Chu Da really could break into the Huns, Yi Zhi followed Yu Shan to the end, who won and who lost.
Anyway, Zhang Yuan didn't mind revealing the news that Yi Zhixian wanted to rebel to the Huns.
The more chaotic the Xiongnu side was, the less the consumption of the Han would be, and I have to say that the cost of this expedition was too great.
There will always be some people who ridicule Liu Che when they say that Liu Che fought the Huns several times, and he used up the national strength of the Han before he was completely defeated, which is not wise and worthwhile.
However, Zhang Yuan felt that the Xiongnu were definitely going to fight, as long as those who said that the cost was too high and the casualties were too high, they didn't look at the map.
The Han Iron Cavalry rushed forward and opened up the land passage between the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean in East Asia.
This kind of long-distance assault warfare is not an easy task even in modern times.
People are so bullish, the distance is far away, the temperature is low, and the gate still has to be opened.
It is very necessary and desirable for the Han army to rely on horsepower and manpower, and use a lot of energy and cost to build the self-confidence that a nation should have.
I haven't seen some trolls say that the war of resistance says that there are too many dead people, and the national strength is exhausted.
The Xiongnu against the Han Dynasty was also an invasion war, which was essentially the same.
And the national strength in the early Han Dynasty was how many years of chaos did China enter a relatively stable stage?
Isn't it normal for the national strength to be weaker, and after hundreds of years of civil war, it was immediately the first in the world after reunification?
What nation can continue to fight like this?
Didn't the Huns just fight and disappear?
Zhang Yuan's fantasy plan, or the perfect way, was to lure most of the Xiongnu tribes to Monan, and then rely on millions of Han soldiers and advanced weapons and equipment to fight the Huns.
At this time, the Han Dynasty already had a standing army of more than 400,000.
Nearly 150,000 cantonments were stationed in the north, 100,000 cantonments were stationed in Guannei, and the remaining 150,000 were distributed among the governor's mansions south of the Yellow River.
These troops do not include the soldiers of the kingdom, the county and the Hou state.
Of the 100,000 troops commanded by Wei Qing, 50,000 came from Guanzhong, and 50,000 came from the border counties of northern Xinjiang.
The Xiongnu tribes are scattered abnormally, and Liu Che has already said that this is a full-scale war, so it cannot be taken back.
100,000 for sorties, 100,000 for defending the northern border counties, and 50,000 troops to defend Chang'an, which is also normal.
Although the regular army was only 100,000, everyone knew that Liu Che would use the highest number of people to fight against the Xiongnu at that time, even more than 500,000.
Of the 500,000, 400,000 are slaves and people, and their combat effectiveness is low, but they are not so useless.
The Xiongnu tribes in the Hanoi region together plus the Qiang tribes that may cause trouble, the number may be as high as 200,000, and this war is just a test of the waters.
The battle of Ma Yi was a test of luck, and when luck came, maybe the military ministers would be slaughtered.
This time it was to test the waters, to see if the Han army could crush the Huns in a head-on confrontation.
There is no confrontation between military and legal formations, the Huns don't use the art of war to fight you, and you will be foolish if you use the art of war to fight the Huns.
This is also the shining point of Wei Qing and Huo Quai.
Zhang Yuan remembered such a sentence in his mind.
I have not seen the book of Sun and Wu, and I have not heard of the festival of the golden drum.
Coincidentally, in addition to the stories of the bad streets of Wei Wei and saving Zhao, Zhang Yuan also did not know a little bit of the art of war.
So there is still hope for catching the Huns and dancing.
At the very least, everyone doesn't have to worry that when the Han army fights against the Xiongnu Shan Yu's army, other Xiongnu tribes will sneak attack the Han city to besiege Wei and save Zhao.
"Where there's a will, there's a way, and you two can believe me!"
Seeing that Wei Qing and Chu Da didn't agree with their words, Zhang Yuan said with his head raised with great confidence.
Zhang Yuan's inflated words completely diverted Wei Qing's attention, and everyone no longer bothered about who went to Jianzhang Palace to find Liu Che.
After agreeing with Chu Da to leave early tomorrow morning, Zhang Yuan let Wei Qing go out of the city overnight, and he returned to Taixue to rest.
The rule of curfew is like for other people in Du County Zhang Yuan didn't know, at least Zhang Yuan had never seen officers and soldiers appear in front of him when he was on the road in the middle of the night.
Early the next morning.
Zhang Yuan and Chu Da met at the North City Gate of Du County.
After the two met, they looked at each other and smiled, and went to Chang'an City without saying anything else.
In fact, Zhang Yuan could still feel the great pressure on Chu Da's body and mind.
What is the truth of accompanying a gentleman like a tiger, Zhang Yuan still understands.
The guilty body has not yet been exonerated from the crime, so he asked to see the emperor in such a grand manner, although it is not a capital crime, it is enough for the Tingwei Mansion to peel off the skin on Chu Da's body.
At the beginning, Dou Ying's family was still the top handful of princes in the Han Dynasty, and if there was no edict from Emperor Xiaojing, it is estimated that he would have to burp directly in prison.
"Brother Chu is almost here, and there is Jianzhang Palace in front of him."
Less than half an hour after coming out of Du County, Zhang Yuanping raised his horsewhip and pointed at Gong Yu in front of him and said to Chu Da.
"I hope Your Majesty will be patient and wait for us to finish our plan."
Chu Da was a little unsure when he arrived here.
Zhang Yuan said that there was an 80% chance of success, but Chu Da knew that this was a gamble, fortunately, this was a gamble with his life, if he gambled with other things of the big man, Chu Da would not have come to such a trip if he died.
It's not because he doesn't trust Zhang Yuan, but because he knows Liu Che's personality.
Quan Dahan, even Zhang Yuan and Chu Da are his, and who is qualified to say that he can gamble with Liu Che's things.
If Chu Da hadn't come with him this time, he would have gambled on his own life, Zhang Yuan would have pulled the gate alone, and it would have been the same with Wei Qing.
Liu Che is fortunate not to be so selfish that his subordinates want to give full play to their residual heat and refuse.
The two arrived at the gate of Jianzhang Palace, handed over the horse to the palace guard, and entered the palace.
Most of these palace guards know Chu Da, although they know about his resignation, they don't know what the inside story is.
Coupled with Zhang Yuan's accompaniment, the palace ban seemed to be nothing.
Maybe what Zhang Yuan and Chu Da didn't know was that since the two of them left today, Liu Che immediately adopted the palace guard rotation system.
It is not the original rotation of these palace guards, but the selection of troops in the southern army to ensure that the army guarding the Jianzhang Palace is not familiar with private individuals.
"It's going well, and no one is stopping us, so let's go to the Jade Hall Hall and wait for the end of His Majesty's court."
Zhang Yuanyao glanced at the front hall of Jianzhang Palace, which was full of people, and immediately pulled Chu Da to the door of the Yutang Palace.
If some ministers see Zhang Yuan and Chu Da, the appearance of Jianzhang Palace will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Zhang Yuan wanted to swear to the sky that he would not provoke Liu Che this time, not make Liu Che angry, and take care of Chu Da's affairs.
The two waited outside the Yutang Hall for an hour before Liu Che returned here to deal with the government.
With paper, it is true that Liu Che's daily workload is much less.
If it weren't for Zhang Yuan, Liu Che might really have to look through hundreds of kilograms of bamboo slips every day for decades.
It's more exercise than iron, and it may be that this is the secret of Liu Che's longevity.
Liu Che was flipping through the recitals sent by the counties, and the eunuch on the side walked up to Liu Che and whispered.
"Your Majesty, Taixue ordered Zhang Yuan and Chu Da to wait outside the palace for you to summon."
"Chuda?"
"It's the Shaofu Ling Chu Da who resigned a few days ago and returned to his hometown."
The eunuch thought that Liu Che had forgotten about Chu Da, so he specially reminded him and said.
"What kind of people attract what kind of people in this world, it's not surprising that these two people are mixed together.
But run here and let Chu Da kneel outside, and let Zhang Yuan come in! ”
Liu Che paused for a moment, and then quickly made a decision and said to the eunuchs beside him.
