Chapter 457: General Pinghan
You can see the gilded palace heavy eaves, colorful lacquer paintings, the moon-white pleated skirts of the palace maids and the dust whisk in the hands of the eunuchs, which is very suitable for the scene.
Zhang Fu walked out of the Qianqing Gate along the road and continued to walk south with the eunuch. He didn't have much to say to the eunuch, and was very silent all the way, still thinking about his own business.
There are very few ministers in this part of the palace, and all they meet are palace people; The eunuchs and palace maids would bow and avoid the road when they saw the prince wearing the eight-beam crown on their heads, but Zhang Fu didn't have to care too much about them.
He remembered the time when the Holy One had first ascended the throne. At that time, he was very upright, and escorted Shi Qianxun, the governor of the Han Dynasty, who came to persuade him to surrender, back to Beijing; Unexpectedly, the Jingshi Junchen did not entrust Zhang Fu with the important task, and put him in a very embarrassing and unfavorable situation.
At first, Zhang Fu really hid resentment in his heart.
But he didn't show it. The court vetoed his strategic claims, and he did not argue; He also asked him to immediately send troops to Yunnan when the grain in Jiaozhi Province ran out, and he did so, and he did not deliberately slack off the battle because of this, and he did his best.
It turns out that patience is indeed a necessary and useful character. It is also very reasonable for Zhang Fu to remember the words of King Han...... If people don't fail and don't make mistakes, it's hard to reflect on their mistakes!
The defeat in the war in the southwest region and the ugly achievements of the generals reminded the imperial court of his Zhang Fu's origin, identity, ability and knowledge. Now Zhang Fu has realized that his desire to be reused is about to come true!
As the saint said, the main force of the imperial court officials and troops is the men and horses deployed in the Huguang area. These horses were mobilized from all over the country, not only with a large number of generals, but also including many troops from the Beijing camp and the emperor's personal guards, which were elite divisions.
And the saint personally told Zhang Fu that he would be transferred to Huguang to take charge of the army, so Zhang Fu obviously wanted to become the most relied on military minister of the saint.
…… Half an hour later, Xu Huizu left the Qianqing Palace. After he walked out of the palace, he went straight back to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and called He Fu to a signing room behind the lobby to discuss matters.
"Zhang Fu is going to be the general of Pinghan." Xu Huizu said directly.
He Fu hugged his fists and bowed, his face was much whiter than Xu Huizu, but there was not much surprise. Xu Huizu saw it in his eyes, knowing that He Fu had always been very knowledgeable and resourceful, and he might have expected this.
Sure enough, He Fu said: "After the British Duke was a hero of the 'Jing Nan', he has been very loyal since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, and I heard that Zhang Guifei, the daughter of the British Princess, gave birth to a prince, so I have even more trust. ”
"I have recommended General He as the deputy general of the left." Xu Huizu said.
He Fu hurriedly said: "This matter must not be done, the matter of Xiaohongshan that the last general said is ......"
Xu Huizu interrupted He Fu's words and said, "Just now, I talked to the Holy Lord about Gao Xu's attempt to win you over, and the Holy Lord now knows about it. ”
He Fu still looked reluctant, which made Xu Huizu feel a little strange. Xu Huizu frowned and said: It is obviously a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, why is He Fu so shirking.
"General He, is there anything else unspeakable?" Xu Huizu asked.
He Fu Zhengse said: "There is only the matter of hunting in Xiaohongshan!" However, with the talent of Wei Guogong, he is far superior to the last general; The thing that the last general looked forward to the most was that Wei Guogong personally led the troops. ”
Xu Huizu's face was embarrassed, and he sighed for a moment: "I can't hide it, I told the Holy Lord that I wanted to take charge of the army, but the Holy Lord didn't allow it. Today, I learned that Jin Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and others also recommended General He; Although Gao Xu has won over General He, the Holy Lord is still willing to use you...... My reputation is too big, and my fame has become a drag. ”
He Fu's expression was dazed, and he hugged his fists and said: "In this case, the last general can only do his best, and dare not disappoint the trust of the saint and the Duke of Wei!" ”
Xu Huizu nodded and said, "General He should have been in charge of the army a long time ago. Back then, you fought in the north and south, and you were not defeated in a hundred battles, and you were even more fearless in the battle of fishing in the sea. It is the battle of Lingbi in the 'Battle of Jingyan', if it weren't for the fact that I was temporarily transferred, causing General He and others to be weak, the victory or defeat is still uncertain! This time, General He will be able to make great achievements in Huguang! ”
He Fudao: "The last general Xie Wei Guogong said good words!" ”
He then asked, "Does the DPRK have a strategy?" ”
Xu Huizu said: "Zhang Fu thinks that Gao Xu will take the initiative to find the main force of the official army for a decisive battle, and the saint now trusts Zhang Fu very much. The imperial court may meet the rebels with superior forces, and settle the rebellion in a battle!
It was proposed that Zhang Fu should be appointed as the general of Pinghan, control the military affairs of the three armies of Huguang, Guangxi, and Jiaozhi, and deploy the overall situation of the war. Jin Zhong, the secretary of the military department, also led the governor of Huguang, and was responsible for supervising the transportation of various grain and military supplies. Jin Zhong and others recommended General He, and General He may be appointed as the deputy general of the left of the Ping Han Dynasty. The Holy Lord wants to use Xue Lu again as the right deputy general.
Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, will soon be transferred to Guangxi, as the chief general of the Southern Route Army, and will be subject to the British Gongzhang Fu. Liu Sheng, the deputy general of the Changde Army and the Marquis of Anyuan, succeeded Wu Gao and was promoted to the chief general of the Changde Army. Chen Xuan served as the chief general of the water division, and Yang Pu and others recommended many heroes of Jingnan as his deputies. ”
He Fu nodded after hearing this: "General Jiangyin Hou Wu did not perform well in Guizhou, but he is still a calm veteran. Liu Sheng was able to fight well at the time of the 'Battle of Jingjing'......"
Xu Huizu said: "General He is also a good general who can fight well...... General! This time, the ministers unanimously recommended you as the deputy general of the left, you are a very important person, can you understand? ”
Although the current Shengshang is the eldest son and crown prince of Emperor Taizong, the Shengshang cannot personally levy and control the military power, which is a great weakness in the civil war; Therefore, it is impossible for the current commander of the official army to be unsupervised and balanced!
Most of the elite soldiers of the Beijing camp and the guards were the Jingnan army of that year; Zhang Fu, who is about to become the general of Pinghan, is himself a person with a very prestigious position among the heroes of Jingnan, so Zhang Fu needs to be supervised by someone like He Fu.
Xu Huizu didn't want to say it directly, which would make him seem that he was not very upright and pondering these power techniques, so he only hinted at He Fu.
He Fu solemnly clenched his fists and said: "Wei Guogong, please rest assured, the last general understands!" ”
Xu Huizu nodded with satisfaction, "I will wait for General He in Beijing, and I will report on my great achievements!" ”
…… He Fu stayed in the office of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies until dusk, and when he heard the sound of the drums of Youshi, he went home.
He went back to his house to change his official robe, and his wife Xu and his three sons He Kuiyi, He Kuisi, and He Kuiliu all came to salute and say hello, but He Fu did not have a good face. The sons looked apprehensive, thinking that they had done something wrong and annoyed their father.
However, He Fu's heart was not angry, but worried.
Not only did he have three sons, but also some uncles, cousins, and nephews. As early as the Yuan Dynasty, the He family was an official of the Great Yuan Court in Fengyang, and later He Fu's uncle and father were all voted under the command of the Ming Taizu, and became the minister of the Ming Dynasty.
Now once He Fu's matter is revealed, what should so many people in the He family do? ! The consequences are unimaginable, which makes He Fu worried.
Previously, when Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty was in power, He Fu's younger brother He Lu followed Emperor Jianwen to hide, which was simply a great crime; Now that Emperor Hongxi is the emperor, He Fu has secretly rebelled against the King of Han, and the current severity is probably far better than concealing Emperor Jianwen.
Therefore, the court and the king of Han fought, and He Fu was unwilling to take charge of the army.
He Fu is now held hostage by the King of Han, and if the King of Han wants him to turn back on the battlefield, he has no choice but to do it, and the monarchs and ministers in the court will definitely be annoyed and angry by his betrayal! Who can the Holy One spare? There are too many He families, and it is indeed not easy to preserve.
However, today in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, He Fu has been forced to the point where he has no choice.
The saint and the minister both intended and wanted to use He Fu to balance Zhang Fu, and Xu Huizu also wanted He Fu to fight for opportunities for the founding heroes. At that time, He Fu refused, which had already aroused Xu Huizu's suspicions, and he also asked, "Is there another hidden secret", did He Fu dare not agree?
He Fu didn't want to think about the ensuing battle, he didn't think about it at all, he didn't care whether the official army could win or not, and even wished that the official army would be defeated! He only thinks about his own situation.
At the beginning, because of his younger brother He Lu's affairs, He Fu had to be held hostage by the King of Han and had to communicate with him several times, including some content about competing for the crown prince! and now on the throne, the relationship between He Fu and King Han can no longer be cleaned! He couldn't do anything about it.
When He Fu was at a loss, the henchman servant of the mansion came to the living room and whispered: "There is a person surnamed Chen who asks to see him, and someone quietly tells the old slave that he is a person from the Duke of Wei." ”
"Please, please come to the study." He Fu immediately got up and said, "You are outside, don't let the people in the mansion in." ”
Xu Huizu has talked to He Fu in person today, dare to talk about any secret matters in the government office, so he has to send someone to the house? He Fu was a little confused, got up and went to the study of the inner house, and first wanted to see someone and listen to what he said.
Unexpectedly, when He Fu saw someone in the study, it was Chen Da Hammer, the henchman of King Han's side! He Fu has contacted the King of Han several times over the years, and there are only two intermediaries, one is Wang Gui, the eunuch of the Han Palace, and the other is this person.
After Chen Dazhui entered the door, he casually closed the door, hugged his fists and said: "I haven't seen Ning Yuanhou for too long, Hou Ye is okay?" ”
He Fu beckoned him to come closer, and said in a deep voice: "The Jingshi has many ears and eyes, and General Chen should not stay here for a long time. I'll write down the general plan of the court and the arrangements of the generals, and you can take it back. ”
Chen Dazhui was overjoyed: "That dare is too good......"
As soon as the words fell, Chen Dazhui suddenly said, "Who?!" ”
He Fu was taken aback, and his whole body trembled! Thinking about it, he is also a veteran of a hundred battles, and he has seen people with corpses all over the battlefield, but somehow, in the splendid and prosperous Beijing Division, he is much less courageous than on the battlefield.
He followed the direction that Chen Dazhui was staring at, and turned his head to look at the bookshelves inside. But he didn't see anything for a while, so he said coldly: "You haven't come out yet?" ”
