Chapter 459: Red Eyes
In fact, Li Xin wants to change a lot of things, but at this time, he can't fully do it. Many thoughts in my heart, due to various practical reasons, can only be temporarily hidden. Otherwise, some ideas that are too advanced, once used, I am afraid that they will play themselves and Huashan Jun to death. Li Xin doesn't want to be cocooned and hurt himself, so it's better to take it step by step.
Under the command of the General's Palace, the six ministries and the garrisons in various places performed their own duties, and the policies formulated one by one were being carried out in an orderly manner.
From the beginning of the year to August, nothing big happened in the world, and everyone was in recuperation. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the Huashan Army has achieved a good development, and some of the goals set before are slowly being realized.
From this point of view, it is a very happy thing, for this reason, Li Xin also rarely took out ~ time to accompany his wife at home to play outside Chang'an City for a day.
However, when he was happy, Jiang Zuo's Huan Wen was not very happy.
"Bastard, my father has done his best for the imperial court, and over the years he has fought in the south and in the north, and there have been countless wars of all sizes. The court actually treated me like this, what is the difference between this and a stab in the back! "In Jiangling City, Huan Wen is furious in the General's Mansion.
The cause of the incident was the death of Xie Yi, the assassin of Yuzhou, a few days ago, who was a member of the Xie family and Xie An's brother. Originally, Situ Sima Yu, who was in charge of the court, planned to let Huan Yun take over this position, and Huan Yun was Huan Wen's younger brother.
But this matter changed again after Sima Yu asked Wang Biaozhi.
When Wang Biaozhi persuaded Sima Yu, he said very bluntly, saying that Huan Yun was not without talent, but he was Huan Wen's younger brother. And Huan Wen is already in charge of the military power in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, if Huan Yun is allowed to take over this position, then the military power will be concentrated in the hands of one family, I am afraid it will be very unfavorable to the imperial court.
Of course, this is very popular in Sima's ears. Therefore, the person appointed after that was still a member of the Xie clan, named Xie Wan, who was previously Wu Xing Taishou.
But the secret was soon discovered by Huan Wen, and he also knew how Wang Biaozhi persuaded Sima Yu. That's why Huan Wen is so angry.
"The general is angry, the court's fear of the general is not a day or two! If it weren't for the great general's great achievements, I'm afraid they would have already attacked the general! Now, it's just the appointment of General Huan Yun, and it doesn't hurt, presumably they don't dare to do anything else that is unfavorable to the general! Xi Chao persuaded on the side.
Huan Wen actually had a heart of disobedience for a long time, and what he wanted to learn was the set of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty. And Xi Chao is very insightful about this, and he is very supportive of him, and he has advised him many times, asking him to abolish the current emperor and do it himself!
However, every time this time comes, Huan Wen's indecisive mistake is committed again. He wanted to be the emperor, but he didn't want to be infamous, so he always hesitated and didn't dare to do it.
"Those people in the court never forget to calculate against me! In the past, Li Hantang was recruited to recruit foreign aid to oppose me, but now he has abandoned Huan Yun and used the children of the Xie family, wanting to use the power of the Xie family to compete with me! It's really unbearable! Huan Wen was still angry, and said hatefully.
"All the princes in the court are all struggling people, and the general doesn't have to worry about them, but the only way to do this is to make the power in our hands stronger. As long as we have the power of the army, naturally no one dares to do anything to the general! Xi Chao persuaded again.
After hearing this, Huan Wen couldn't help but nodded, and after thinking about it, he ordered: "Pass the order, replenish the soldiers of each battalion as soon as possible, and step up training." If we can eliminate Hulu as soon as possible and restore the Central Plains, who can still compete with me! ”
Just a few days after Huan Wen got the news, Li Xin also got the news.
"Is Huan Wen so angry?" After hearing the news, Li Xin asked Tu Qi.
"According to the information inquired by the spies, it seems that this is indeed the case! Moreover, since he got the news, it seems that he has accelerated the speed of the army, and now he is training the army! ”
This must be Xi Chao persuaded him, let him strengthen his roots and strengthen his own strength. After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as the strength in Huan Wen's hands remains strong, the imperial court will have no way to take him. Li Xin thought for a moment and said with a smile.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid it's not a good thing for us! At that time, I am afraid that the pressure on the side of Shangluo County will increase a lot! Tu Qi heard this and said with some concern.
"It's okay, he strengthens his, let's develop ours! The truth I said before is the same for us! Besides, it is not us who really threatens Jiangzuo in this world, but Yan Guo. Therefore, as long as Yan Guo is still there, Huan Wen can't even if he doesn't want to be friendly with us! In contrast, Li Xin is not too worried about this matter.
"That's right!" Tu Qi nodded.
While Li Xin's side was busy developing and growing, the forces around him were not idle. Yan Guo and Huan Wen both have their own focuses, and after more than a year of chaos, they have finally returned to calm.
Liu Weichen finally reunited the tribes under the banner of the Xiongnu, but compared with before Liu Yantou went south, the current Xiongnu power can be said to have shrunk a lot.
The key reason, in addition to the previous civil war, which caused a large number of casualties among the Xiongnu, is also due to the separation of the vassal tribes.
Originally, many Hu tribes united under the banner of the Xiongnu, and some went directly north and attached themselves to the country. Others either went south directly and went to live in the area of Xuanjuan, or they went east to join the Yan Kingdom like He Laitou before.
In the end, the remaining tribes were less than one-third of the original number. In this way, Liu Weichen, who fought to the end, took over a mess, almost crying without tears.
"Hateful! We've been fighting for so long, but we've benefited others! Damn Liu Yantou, if he hadn't betrayed the Immortal Heaven and killed the people of the Immortal Heaven, the great Huns would not have come to this point! In the account alone, Liu Weichen attributed all the blame to Liu Yantou.
Anyway, he is now the general of the defeated army, and according to the law of becoming a king and defeating a thief, he naturally has to bear all the charges. If it was in the Central Plains Dynasty, it might be a little vague, at least on the surface, it would seem righteous and awe-inspiring, but on the side of the grassland Hu people, it would be much more straightforward.
After all, the law here is like this, everything is so cruel, it is all so clear and naked~ naked.
"Alone, now our people have been greatly reduced, and cattle, sheep and horses have also suffered heavy losses due to the war. If there is a strong enemy in the future, I am afraid we will not be able to resist, please prepare as soon as possible! The leader of a tribe said.
"We're not in a good situation right now! To the south is the newly strengthened Huashan Army, and the last time we fought with it, we had seen their situation. As for the north, the power of the Dai Kingdom is strong, and the iron cavalry is unparalleled, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to resist. Being caught between these two forces is really aggrieved! "Why doesn't Liu Weichen know this, it's just that the reality is cruel! He could only sigh helplessly.
"Judging from our current situation, I'm afraid it's better to be attached to the country! Anyway, we have always been attached to Daiguo before, and it is not a bad thing to continue to be attached at this time! Moreover, with the protection of Daiguo, I believe that those Huashan troops should not dare to fight again! Someone at the bottom suggested.
"That's right! As long as we are given some time, when we regain our strength, we will first clean up the Huashan army, and then go back to solve the problem of Daiguo. If we can solve these two powerful enemies, we will definitely be able to restore the prosperity of the royal court alone, so that the glory of the immortal heaven will always shine on the grassland! One of Liu Weichen's brothers said excitedly at this time.
"Well, that's a good idea! Our sons and daughters of the Immortal Heaven have always served only the strong! There is nothing to be ashamed of temporarily submitting to the country! Didn't the great Mao Dunshan Yu also bow his head to Donghu? What happened? Didn't Donghu be wiped out in one fell swoop and a powerful Xiongnu dynasty was established from then on? Hearing what everyone said, Liu Weichen suddenly regained a lot of confidence.
"Shan Yu, a few days ago, he quietly infiltrated the Huashan Army's Zhujuan County to investigate the enemy's situation. I saw that the county is now prosperous, and there is an endless stream of business travelers from all walks of life in this county every day, and the cars and horses are jammed in the road. It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of gold and silver items in the prefecture alone, not to mention various other goods waiting to be sold! If we can snatch all these things, I'm afraid that the previous losses will all be recovered! At this moment, a small leader at the bottom suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Is what you're saying true? It has only been two years since the establishment of the county, and it is actually so prosperous? Hearing this, Liu Weichen couldn't help but be surprised.
"How dare a villain deceive you? That's true, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate. Today's county town has long been a place where business travelers gather, and because the Huashan Army has only opened this one field, everyone can only trade there! Many of the small clans who were attached to us before are now attracted by this city and have attached themselves to the Huashan Army. If the term of office continues to develop like this, I am afraid that the remaining tribes will also be slowly attracted to it! If this goes on for a long time, won't our Great Huns fall apart? The man hurriedly replied.
