Chapter 150: Investigation
In the howling cold wind, Zhang Anshi summoned all his captains and lieutenants.
The entire tent was instantly filled with people, densely packed, almost sixty or seventy people.
In addition to Zhang Anshi's descendants and two captains of the Northern Army, there are also county soldiers and captains from the four counties of Hexi, as well as reinforcement generals from Wuyuan, Shuofang, Beidi, and Longxi.
Most people don't even know what's going on?
As soon as they entered the account, they couldn't help but whisper and inquire about each other's news.
The focus of the discussion is, of course, the now ended Lingju War.
"Huang Ba is really lucky...... many people sighed.
For most of us, it is a good thing that the war is won, no matter how it is won.
At the very least, a big win is enough to get a lot of people promoted.
At least it's better than not winning!
And Zhang Anshi's descendants are all preoccupied.
This battle is not easy to fight!! In addition, the Son of Heaven ordered to march step by step, but looking at today's battle, the general of the chariot cavalry is about to fight.
This is no small feat!
Once defeated, Hugh said that Zhang Anshi was gone, and they were all implicated.
Not to mention, a crime of not reporting it and committing rebellion is enough to kill their whole family!
If someone catches on making a fuss, maybe they can be charged with 'great disrespect' or even 'rebellion', and once this crime is confirmed, it will not only kill the whole family, but also affect the deceased ancestors.
Even Li Duo and others are now up and down, uneasy.
No way, the stakes are high, which one is not worried?
But there is no way, the matter has come to this point, and they can only pinch their noses and go all the way to the dark.
Fortunately, the Han Empire has always had a tradition of 'the victor is not subject to any blame'!
Exaggerated, resisting the decree or something, that is the crime of the loser.
In the words of victory, these are just trivial matters, not enough, but 'will be subject to the fate of the king abroad', and may even become good stories and allusions, and even the Son of Heaven will not take it to heart.
Just like at the beginning, the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu rebelled, and Zhou Yafu led the troops to quell the rebellion.
It fortified in Changyi, cleared the wilderness, drove away and rejected the envoys from Chang'an more than a dozen times in a row, and the final result was that the army led by Tiao Hou was killed in one blow, and the rebels were wiped out.
And the first emperor and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty immediately made all kinds of arrangements for these behaviors of the waiters, and even the historians tried their best to wash the ground.
It's as if before leaving Beijing, the first emperor had already discussed with Tiao Hou to pit King Liang and Empress Dowager Dou together.
More than 20 years ago, the champion Jingheng Hou Da Sima Hussar General Huo Quai, was also a small expert in resisting the decree and overbearing.
After getting out of the plug, Chang'an's orders were like grass wiping his ass to him, and he didn't bother to listen to them.
Even the wine and meat sent by the Son of Heaven as a reward can be thrown away because they are disgusted with being unfresh.
As a result, there is not even half of the people who dare to accuse and impeach.
From the Son of Heaven to the common people, all of them are touting Huo Biyao's 'courage and daring' to be a 'true husband'.
As for the things he did, in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of Chang'an and the people of the world, they were simply cute, and they were the true colors of upright and daring.
This is the status of the general who can win the battle in the Han family!
As long as they can win, no one will pursue their actions in the process.
A win is a win!
Rewards, power, beauty, and status are endless.
However, once you don't win, or even just don't win beautifully, then what you did before will immediately be rewarded.
Moreover, the strength of the rebound will be beyond imagination.
Few people held that rebounding blow!
At least they can't hold it, so they are worried one by one.
They can only pray in their hearts that this time win a big one!
At this moment, Zhang Anshi walked in from outside the tent.
He carried his sword and sat down on the position of the commander at the top, and the other generals immediately got up and bowed to the generals: "The last general will wait to meet the general!" β
"Everyone, please get up!" Zhang Anshi waved his hand and said: "In the army, the vulgar rites outside are exempt!" β
He said: "I have summoned the princes this time to discuss the war with them!" β
When the generals heard this, they immediately picked up their eyes and searched for the envoy of the Son of Heaven and the protector Zheng Ji.
It's a pity that after looking for a long time, I didn't see Zheng Ji's shadow, and even Zheng Ji's subordinates didn't show up.
So, Feng Feng, the commander of the eastern part of the Northland, couldn't help but ask: "Since it is a war, dare to ask the general, where is the protection?" β
The captains of Wuyuan, Shuofang and other places immediately followed and asked, "General, what about Du Hu?" β
Even Zhang Anshi's subordinates were also suspicious and worried.
For the Han army, obedience to the Son of Heaven was instinct.
The Han army has obeyed the order of the Son of Heaven for a long time, accumulated prestige for a long time, and has a very high prestige in the army, especially for these border generals, especially because almost all the captains and captains of the Han army's border commanders have served in Chang'an Guangluxun or Wei Wei, and many of them have the experience of guarding the Son of Heaven.
Therefore, for most of the high-ranking generals at the border gates, the son of today is not only their monarch, but also a benefactor with whom they have a direct relationship.
Under the double fetters, in this feudal society, the connection and ties are naturally very deep.
Many people will make up for themselves that they are the eagle dog of the Son of Heaven and the minions of the Han family, and reflect the results of this brain supplement into reality, so the situation becomes that in many cases, when the generals encounter things related to the Son of Heaven, they will automatically maintain and maintain the power and majesty of the king.
This is also the secret of Liu's ability to rule the world.
Zhang Anshi listened to these discussions, smiled slightly, and explained: "You don't have to look for it, there is a messenger from Chang'an, Zheng Duhu and General Chang Hui will copy it together, and it will be there in a while."
Hearing Zhang Anshi's explanation, everyone calmed down, although there were still doubts in their hearts, no one would be stupid to say it publicly.
I listened to Zhang Anshidao: "Wang Duhu and I have now agreed that in order to prevent the enemy of the Huns from escaping north, we have to speed up the march...... Otherwise, it will be difficult to catch these cheap slaves if they run back to the west of the Tianshan Mountains! β
"You don't want to work hard to come here, but you run away, right?"
Hearing this, the generals slowly sat down.
Indeed, no one wants to work hard, travel two or three thousand miles, and get nothing.
Whether it is a general or a soldier, the reason why they are willing to tie their heads to their belts, sleep in the open, are not afraid of hardships and dangers, and come all the way is for the same thing - to get promoted and make a fortune, and glorify their ancestors!
Under this premise, as long as the matter is not big, some people are willing to pretend to be stupid.
Anyway, when the sky falls, isn't there still a high top?
Even if things are messed up, they can sell a handful of simple characters in the future.
Besides, if there is no envoy to take the lead in this matter, they feel that they are stronger, and they will only hit the stone with an egg and give away the head of the person in vain.
"Then listen to it again, and see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the general of the Che Cavalry?" Many people thought of this, and they lowered their heads and fell silent.
After a while, Zheng Ji and Chang Hui walked into the military tent together, holding the letter and saying: "The Son of Heaven has allowed the war, and the matter of Hexi will be handled by Zhang Anshi, the general of the Che Cavalry, Fuping Marquis!" β
With the arrival of the dry season, the area of Puchanghai has shrunk by a quarter.
As the area of Puchanghai has shrunk, the roads have become wider, and the withered trees have completely exposed the area to everyone.
Within a radius of more than 100 miles, there is almost no shelter.
However, this is not difficult for Lai Yue.
He took dozens of his henchmen and hid Lu Wei withered in Pu Changhai's fading, only exposing his eyes to the outside.
"It's coming!" Suddenly, someone whispered, and Lai Yue immediately followed the sound and saw a team hundreds of steps away, driving the vehicle, slowly coming from a distance.
"It's a high-rider!" Lai Yue recognized the comer at a glance.
Gaoche is the name of the Ding Ling people under the control of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions, and the reason comes from the fact that these Xiongnu servants are good at driving a kind of vehicle with high wheels, and driving them around.
And now, the king of Ding Ling of the Xiongnu is called Wei Lu, a traitor of the Han family, and it is said that he has a good relationship with Li Ling, who also surrendered to the Xiongnu.
"Don't be ......in a hurry," Lai Yue whispered, "We just need to follow them!" β
"No!" Everyone nodded quietly, and then continued to shrink their heads.
Only Lai Yue was still staring, staring at the convoy in the distance.
The look of this team reminded him of that summer twenty-eight years ago.
The catastrophe that befell his country and his family!
The catastrophe of the destruction of the kingdom of Qiqi was brought about by the Gaoche people.
These servants of the Huns were more cruel and ruthless than the Huns.
In the country, in addition to women, from the elderly to the children, all of them were tortured and killed by these butchers!
Lai Yue almost died at the hands of these people, and thinking of this, Lai Yue couldn't help but touch a scar on his chest.
It was the mark of the catastropheβan ugly scar that was several inches long and centipede-like.
It was the mark left on his chest by the bronze collar of a tall charioter.
And the existence of this mark has made Lai Yue remind himself every day in the past eight years: "Lai Yue, have you forgotten the hatred of your parents and the country? β
Now it is also ordinary, Lai Yue said to himself in his heart: "Lai Yue, have you forgotten the blood feud back then? β
Then he mentally replied, "No! I'll never forget! β
It is only a small country, and its population is not even as large as that of a county in the Han Dynasty.
But that's also his country!
The hatred of losing the country and the hatred of his parents is the biggest motivation that has supported Lai Yue to live until now! His brother Lai Dan was also killed by the Qiuzi people not long ago.
Now, seeing the enemy who destroyed the family and the country back then, the anger in Lai Yue's heart is like magma.
He could only dig his nails into his flesh to let the pain relieve and vent the hatred in his heart, otherwise, Lai Yue suspected that he would probably not be able to hold it and rush up to tear these enemies apart!
