Chapter 820: Letters
The closer he got to Xiangyang, the more apprehensive Han Xin became.
He has always felt that the reason why Marquis Wu Zhonghou values himself so much, repeatedly overstepping his ranks, and even being higher than the old department, is because he has never let him down.
But now, Han Xin has fought the battle with the greatest losses since the formation of the Northern Expeditionary Army!
Nearly 10,000 people, most of them old soldiers, were buried in Danshui like this, or captured by the enemy.
Dongmen Leopard's words are vivid, the families of those soldiers, the fathers and elders of Jianghannan County, I'm afraid they will hate themselves so much? And Marquis Wu Zhong, will he regard himself as a mediocre general from now on and no longer reuse?
But Han Xin didn't expect that what he faced was not reprimands and blank eyes, but cheers and wine!
On the way, when I met brother troops, I gave them a thumbs up.
"The prince has already publicized the merits of General Han Pi in the city, saying that you passed through the enemy's rear, inserted into the enemy's henchmen, made the rear chickens and dogs restless, shared the pressure for Jiang Han, and under the pursuit and interception of four times the enemy's encirclement, forced to cross the Danshui and successfully broke through."
Han Xin was a little stunned, listening to the meaning, Wu Zhonghou didn't blame himself?
What surprised Han Xinwei even more was that when Heifu heard that he had returned, he actually went to the gate of Xiangyang City to greet Han Xin!
Han Xin was not arrogant to Heifu, and immediately rolled the saddle and dismounted, bowing to the ground: "The general of the defeated army, how dare you let the prince greet him?" ”
Heifu smiled: "How can I not welcome the return of the great hero who relieved the siege of Jianghan?" ”
But his eyes looked behind him again: "Sharp cang...... him"
Han Xin felt that the most guilty was Li Cang, followed by the soldiers who died in battle, and lowered his head and said: "Li Cang is seriously injured and can't travel far, so he stays in Wudang Mountain south of Yunguan to recuperate." ”
"I'll let Chen Wuji go over and treat him."
Heifu nodded, and then looked at the expeditionary forces behind Han Xin, compared to when they went, only a third of them had returned, which made people sigh:
"It's a pity, it's really a success......"
Han Xin was ashamed when he heard this, bowed his head and said: "The minister has humiliated the army, please punish the prince!" ”
"You think you're losing the battle?"
Heifu shook his head, and it was really unfair to describe Han Xin's battle in two simple words.
Although Han Xin suffered heavy losses, the victory or defeat of a battle had to be viewed from the perspective of the overall situation.
Nearly 10,000 old pawns were lost, and his favorite old disciple Li Cang was seriously injured and disabled, and Heifu wanted to squat down in pain.
But as the commander-in-chief, looking at the overall situation, Han Xin can be regarded as having made a great contribution.
For example, Han Xin cut into the enemy's rear, pulled out three inner towers, killed several people in a single move, and cleared the opposite wild area, and finally was chased by five people and lost his head.
Is this a defeat?
Thinking about it again, since being recommended by Xiao He and going to the disease, Han Xin has won many battles, it is really too smooth, a young man in his early twenties, and he has the ability, his eyes have already drifted to the sky, Heifu has already heard the old ministry say in private, this Han Xin, really provoked a lot of people, first scorned Man, and now has a grudge with Dongmen Leopard.
So, letting Han Xin suffer a setback is more beneficial to him and the whole team.
But for Han Xin, Heifu still has to continue to envelop, a small beating, and a lot of rewards, after all, his subordinates can take charge of themselves and command a large army of more than 50,000 people to fight, except for Zhao Tuo, Han Xin is the only one.
If Han Xin is wronged too much, he is not angry, he pats his ass and runs away, and Heifu will die - after all, why is Xiao not by his side, do you want Heifu to chase after him personally?
"Don't say that."
So Heifu had a plan in his heart, patted Han Xin's hand, and said earnestly:
"Han Xin, if it damages you, this battle will be won and defeated."
"But as long as you are fine, you can eat a trench and grow wise in the future, you will win even if you are defeated!"
……
"Those who return will be knighted at two levels!"
"The war dead are three levels!"
Let Han Xin go down to bathe and rest, Heifu was not idle, and asked the military judge to reward Han Xinjun for his meritorious deeds, he wanted to give this expeditionary force that went deep behind the enemy and forced Wang Ben to give up the expeditionary force that continued to attack Jianghan, and treat him as a hero!
"As for Han Xin...... and still a great creation, but not the rest of the rewards. ”
Heifu can't afford to lose sight of one or the other, and the other side must also be appeased.
"Didn't Dongmen Leopard take Yunguan? Wang Benjun has given up the south of the Han River, and Shangyong (Zhushan County, Hubei) is eighteen or nineteen stable, and it has also risen to the top. ”
"In addition, Licang should have been the right watch, but now it has been promoted to less Shangzao, and Hanzhong is fake guarding!"
"Prince!"
Xiao He recruited talents in Jiangling, and Bao Sheng, a scribe who recommended him to Heifu, couldn't help but remind:
"The profit warehouse is only two out of twenty, how can it be guarded?"
Heifu looked at Bao Sheng: "You have been a small official in Zhijiang County, right?" Knowing the law, how much can you be a county magistrate? ”
Bao Sheng responded: "Strong." ”
"How old is strong?"
"Twenty-one ......"
Heifu spread his hands: "Licang is already strong, and the merit and title are also among the younger generation, second only to Han Xin, this time with Han Xin, he fought thousands of miles, annihilated countless enemies, and lost a pair of feet, why can't he defend the county?" ”
Bao Sheng had nothing to say.
Heifu is aware of Licang's character, at this time, if he is a wasted person and throws it to the rear to be idle, Licang will probably be depressed, and when he recovers from his injury, give him a position, and let all kinds of affairs entangle him, but it can make people not think cranky.
"By the way, the title of Lixian is also made by Shaoshang, and he also serves as the county guard of Yuzhang and Yanjun (southern Anhui and Nanjing)!"
After finishing this, Heifu took another sketch and asked Bao Sheng to hand it over to the craftsmen in the army.
However, I saw that on the picture, there were two large wooden front wheels and a single small wheel at the back, and a chair with armrests in the middle, like a wheelchair in later generations.
"Let the craftsman make it according to it, and then send it to Licang with the certificate and the ribbon, and tell him the ...... for me."
Thinking that Li Cang became disabled at a young age, and almost thought that he was the black man of his own nephew, he felt sad again:
"Tell Li Cang, in the future, although you can't level the world for me right away! Then sit down and rule the place for me! ”
"Let him recuperate, when the spring begins, the injury is better, go back to Jianghan, I will personally marry him and the eldest lady of the Dongmen Leopard!"
……
After pacifying Dongmen Leopard and Licang, Heifu is going to continue to train Han Xin.
Han Xin hurriedly came to the command post, but saw that Wu Zhonghou, who had never been very good at handwriting, actually wrote big characters on the desk today, and when he saw Han Xin coming, he smiled and said:
"Do you have any complaints if you haven't received the reward?"
Where did Han Xin dare to have it, and said: "The prince does not abandon Han Xin, but still promotes the letter to the great creation, how dare the letter have a grudge?" ”
Heifu said: "The south is also difficult, after this battle, there are too many rewards, Xiao He's side, is almost beyond his means, so the money will not be given to you, just send you a word." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the painting and handed it to Han Xin.
Han Xin looked at it, but saw that it was written......
"The victorious and defeated soldiers are unexpected, and Bao is ashamed and ashamed!"
This seemed to have spoken to his heart, Han Xin read it three times, read it lightly twice in his mouth, was greatly moved, raised his head and said: "Junhou, getting this word is better than a thousand catties of gold!" ”
"Sit down." Heifu asked Han Xin to put away the words and sit opposite him.
"I asked you to come today, but not to discuss military affairs, but to tell you about the past of a person, an old man."
Heifu pointed at Han Xin and said: "He has the same name as you, and they are both called 'Xin'!" Li Xin! ”
"It's the Marquis of Dingyuan!"
Han Xin was sitting precariously, he originally looked at the top, despised the generals in the world, and felt that Lao Tzu was the first in the world, but after being taught a good lesson by Wang Ben by Danshui, this arrogance was much less.
At least for Heifu, Wang Ben, and Li Xin, they don't dare to despise them anymore.
What's more, the deeds of Li Xin, Marquis of Dingyuan, are really a legend......
Heifu bowed: "I know Li Xin, it is the first time to attack Chuzhong, Li Xin was appreciated by the First Emperor, not only despised Wang Qian, felt that he was old, but also despised Xiang Yan. Li Xin, as the commander, led an army of 200,000, but the enemy rushed forward, and then he was defeated by Xiang Yan and lost seven captains! ”
"That was after the first emperor succeeded to the throne, an unprecedented defeat, after that battle, Li Xin was demoted to the end by the first emperor, moved to the border to guard, Li Xin was arrogant, suffered a big setback, and actually ...... in vain overnight"
……
Thousands of miles away from Xiangyang, west of the Western Regions city-state Shule Kingdom (Kashgar, Xinjiang), there is a place name Xingdungu, there is a trail through the foot of the green ridge, leading to the mysterious Dawan and Daxia in the west......
A group of Qin soldiers who had experienced the wind and frost of the desert were standing at the mouth of the valley with their spears in hand, waiting for orders, looking at their generals and the Xianyang envoy who had suddenly arrived.
The mountains of the Green Mountains are majestic, the peaks are covered with snow, and the general, who is riding a horse, standing at the foot of the mountain, is also covered with a layer of silver-white frost and snow on his head......
"What is the matter with the messenger who has come from afar?"
Li Xin's words were as cold as a glacier.
The Xianyang envoy was dressed in embroidered clothes and held a festival, and he walked for half a year before he caught up with Li Xin's pace.
The envoy spoke with a panting, as if it was a little difficult to adapt to the high altitude here, or he was stunned by the snow-capped mountains, but he still tried to raise his voice and explained his intention to Li Xin.
"The world lost the first emperor, all of them were terrified and sad, but the rebellion of the six countries, the group of thieves increasingly westward, wanted to disrupt the society, the second emperor was edicted to succeed to the throne, there is a system: order Dingyuan Marquis, rate the soldiers of the three armies to return to Guanzhong!"
"What!"
Hearing this, from the army Zhengxi in the lamb's fur, to the horses, the captains, and then to the soldiers who were close by, they were all extremely shocked.
They were once trapped in the wind and snow at the foot of the North Mountain (Tianshan Mountain), and they still talked and laughed.
They had fought bloody battles with the Hu people in the Western Regions in Qiuci, with one enemy and five enemies, so that they could be reorganized.
They had been lost in the desert, but in the end, under the leadership of Li Xin, they survived the sun and hunger and thirst, found the oasis water source, and tasted the sweetness of melons and fruits and women in the Western Regions.
But now, after a lot of hardships, I finally came to the foot of the Green Ridge, as long as I crossed the hills, I could reach the Great Xia Kingdom, but I was shocked to hear the news that the First Emperor had collapsed and that I could "go home", and everyone was suddenly moved!
There was a lot of noise, and the red horse that Li Xin was sitting on seemed to be a little restless, snorting, constantly raising and lowering his forefoot.
Li Xin stroked it gently, as if he was also soothing his shocked heart.
"Don't panic, don't panic."
The army is lonely in a foreign land, he is the backbone of this group of people, and he must not be messed up.
Even if your heart is really chaotic, even if you want to let out a long howl of grief and indignation, and cry bitterly towards the east!
You have to hold back!
"The First Emperor has died?"
After half a ring, Li Xin raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said categorically:
"No way!"
