Section 1009 Response
The light cavalry set out from Chang'an, and it took only five days to arrive at Lingjusai, and then handed over the edict from the Son of Heaven to Li Guangli.
After Li Guangli received the edict, his face immediately became a little ugly, and he barely squeezed out a smile and sent the envoy down to rest.
His face was almost as black as the sludge in an instant.
"Who is this policy?" With a dark face, he looked at the cronies beside him: "Immediately order someone to go to Chang'an and find out!" ”
"No!" Someone was immediately commanded to go down.
As the current supreme general of the empire and the supreme commander of the Hexi Han Army, Li Guangli can sit in the position of the general of the second division safely, and always firmly control and control the most elite and powerful field corps of the empire.
Nature is not just a simple martial artist.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why, for so many years before, he was able to withstand the blows and restrictions of Gongsun He's father and son and his henchmen in the court, constantly waged wars, and won resources again and again.
In fact, in Chang'an, he has a powerful intelligence network that has been operating for many years.
He has a connection of interests with countless big figures inside and outside the court.
Now, Liu Quyu, the prime minister in the court, is his in-law, which makes his power and power in the court swell again.
It was not that young man who suddenly appeared and made a dazzling record.
Now, inside and outside the court, who dares not to give him face?
"Wait!" A burly man in his thirties stood up and bowed angrily: "The last general thinks that Your Majesty's edict is a chaotic fate!" You can ignore it! ”
"Since ancient times, there will be no disapproval of the king's life outside! I heard that in "Spring and Autumn", there is a story of the priest's change from power......"
Most of the others nodded in approval, and even felt that they should do it!
Soldiers, most of them are such personalities.
Especially Li Guangli's subordinates, there are really not many people who understand Zhengzhi.
Most people only have two things in their minds: fighting and leading troops.
Other things, I don't bother to think about it at all, and I don't bother to think about it.
This is determined by the origin of Li Guangli Group!
Li Guangli's subordinate generals were basically killed from the quagmire of the Dawan War with him back then.
Except for a few elites and aristocrats, most of them were killed on the basis of petty pawns and even exiled criminals, convicts, and scoundrels.
These people, perhaps very smart on the battlefield, can rely on experience and intuition, as well as the feelings they usually cultivate with their subordinates, to do so like an arm, and achieve many incredible results.
But as soon as he arrived at the main altar, he was blinded.
The rectum of a soldier is simply not able to adapt to the treacherous officialdom.
Of course, if they were all subordinates like this, Li Guangli would not have been able to get to where he is today.
"Captain Zhao, sit down!" Before Li Guangli could speak, someone reprimanded: "National affairs, the edict of the Son of Heaven, how can you allow your subordinates to criticize indiscriminately?" ”
The burly man originally wanted to argue with his neck stiff, but after seeing the voicer, he immediately became more honest than a child, sat down in a proper manner, and arched his hand: "Got it, General Li!" ”
The speaker is Li Guangli's think tank, and he is also the 'fox wolf' Jiuquan general Li Duo, who is famous in the entire Hexi, the Western Regions and the Xiongnu.
In the hearts of the Han army and civilians in the four counties of Hexi, Li Duo is a general who symbolizes wisdom.
For many old and rough generals, Li Duo will always be the 'cultural person' they look up to and worship in their hearts, and the 'elder brother' who is knowledgeable but meticulous to everyone.
In Hexi, Li Duo's status is second only to Li Guangli.
is also ranked ahead of another military giant, Changshi Wang Xuan.
Li Duo got up, looked at Li Guangli, and arched his hand: "General, Your Majesty's edict must not be violated!" ”
He said earnestly: "Everything can be ignored, the will of the Son of Heaven cannot be ignored, everything can be trampled on, and the edict of the Son of Heaven cannot be disobeyed!" ”
"Rebels, clans!"
This is a fact, and it is a truth that everyone knows!
Forty-seven years after the advent of the dynasty, authoritarianism has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Hugh said that it was Li Guangli, and that it was the general Changping Lie Hou Weiqing, and he didn't dare to break his wrists with this majesty at all.
Don't look at the fact that Li Guangli is now in command of the Han army in the entire Hexi in the name of the general of the second division, and can even command and dispatch the Han army soldiers stationed in Heshuo, Beidi, and Didao.
The total strength is close to 200,000.
Moreover, they are all elite and strong soldiers of the Han army.
However, in fact, the army directly ordered by Li Guangli was less than 30,000.
The command and control of the rest of the troops were scattered in the hands of the taishou, the county lieutenant, the commander of the barrier, and the lieutenant of the colonel in each county.
Only in the event of war will they be ordered to gather and wait for Li Guangli's orders.
These people's loyalty to Chang'an far exceeds their obedience to Li Guangli.
It is no exaggeration to say that if there is really something, the emperor of Chang'an only needs to send a messenger to enter Hexi on a light horse, and between the ten months, most of the soldiers and civilians in the four counties of Hexi will be handed over.
Even Li Guangli's subordinates will also defect.
This is the power of an authoritative Son of Heaven who has ruled the world for forty-seven years!
What's more, the four counties of Hexi are not developed enough and their output is barren.
Every year, Chang'an Dasi Nong needs to import a large amount of leveling and equalizing various materials to support local immigrants and troops.
Without the support of Chang'an, the military and civilians of the four counties of Hexi will be difficult to support even a slightly larger war!
Therefore, fighting against the Son of Heaven is a dead end!
Li Duo understands this, and Li Guangli also knows it.
However......
Li Guangli listened, and was even more annoyed!
He clenched his fists and scolded: "If you let me know who is the plan, I will be at odds with it!" ”
The edict sent by the Son of Heaven was like a bolt from the blue for Li Guangli.
For the entire Hexi Han Army, it is even more of a thunderstorm!
Why?
Because this command, once executed, and achieve results.
It's equivalent to their heads, and they may not be able to get half of their combat exploits!
Without beheading, there is no military merit, and without military merit, how can you be promoted and get rich?
The four counties of Hexi, plus the garrisons of Juyan and Yumen, hundreds of thousands of soldiers up and down, what to eat and drink?
With that little military salary and that little 'blame money', how to support his family and how to soar?
You must know that the people who instigated and instigated the Qiang people to go south and instigated the rebellion of the Hehuangyue clan were not only the Huns!
The aristocratic officers of the four counties of Hexi and the Jiangmen family did not contribute less, and they did not give them less convenience!
To tell the truth, if you really want to quell the turmoil, where can you still get the turn of the Xiqiang chieftains to connect and contact the Yueshi and Huns?
The Han army only needed to casually drive out two cavalry commanders and go to the Hehuang area in advance to suppress and suppress.
With the soldiers and horses of the captain of Huqiang, it is enough to suppress the various departments of the Yue Clan.
Then, Xiqiang did not have the collusion of the Yueshi people, and could not contact the Xiongnu.
It has long been in the West Sea itself aaaaaaal itself.
But......
If this is the case, what will the Hexi generals and nobles eat?
The Xiongnu in the Western Regions fought among themselves and stopped without a fight.
The Han army in Luntai was not enterprising enough and was more than able to defend it.
On the Hun side, they have gone back to their respective homes and looked for their own mothers.
However, due to various reasons, the Han army did not have the ability to strategically attack the Western Regions.
And, with the rise of that mid-chamberlain.
The reshuffle within the Han army is in progress visible to the naked eye.
Whether it is for Li Guangli or his generals, if they do not find a way to make a big news and make a big military achievement in the next year or two, they will be sitting back and waiting to die.
And if you want to break through the entire Xiongnu Mobei defense line and seize its dragon city, Chan Guyan sealed the wolf Juxu Mountain, captured his right virtuous king, and forced the Guyan king to surrender.
Li Guangli Group has only two options.
First, break through the Tianshan Mountains, hunt with the Xiongnu in the oasis of the northern Western Regions, and capture it.
Second, find a way to make a decapitation number and shock the world!
In the former, there is simply no room for maneuvering.
Piercing the Tien Shan Mountains? If it could, it could be done during the Tianhan Dynasty, and there was no need to wait until today.
The only thing that can be operated is the latter.
And the Qiang people and the Yueshi people are the best targets!
There are as many as two or three hundred thousand Qiang people, as long as they find a way to encircle and annihilate, the Han army can happily reap a great victory that shocks the whole world!
The people of Li Guangli Group can step on these bones and continue to maintain their own status and advantages.
And squeeze out competitors.
Otherwise, once the young lieutenant officer has stabilized his position in Chang'an, his narrow victory will come, and he will cross the river with a fierce dragon, and he will be able to change the pattern of the Han army in Hexi in an instant.
even, completely crushed Li Guangli Group.
And the process can be faster than anyone expected!
It may even be that the other party only needs one victory, even if it is a small battle victory, to make the soldiers and civilians of the entire four counties of Hexi bow down.
At that time, Li Guangli may be able to return to Chang'an, like Wei Qing back then, with a false title like a general or a lieutenant.
And his henchmen, I'm afraid that no one can escape the fate of going home to farm!
Because......
Even the people know that once the son of heaven was a courtier, and the prime minister of the previous dynasty picked up the rags.
How could they not understand?
Even if you are stupid, as long as you look at how Wei Qing's generals picked their feet at home after the rise of Huo Quai, you will know what their future will look like?
Therefore, in the tacit understanding and cooperation of countless people, what was originally at most another futile effort of the Qiang people has evolved into the number one crisis in the four counties of Hexi.
But now, this crisis, which was finally ignited, seems to have encountered a torrential rain falling from the sky.
If you look at it, you may be extinguished or snuffed out.
If the Qiang people fight each other because of the reward.
Where should the Han army go to find the first harvest?
"The general is angry...... Li Duogong advised: "This matter is not completely impossible to think about......
When Li Guangli and the others heard this, they immediately focused their attention on Li Duo.
Li Guangli stepped forward in person, bowed his knees and said: "Dare to ask Ming Gong, will he be safe?" ”
Li Duo smiled and said softly: "Does the general know how the magistrate's office prevaricates the orders and policies of the county officials?" ”
"Simple ......" Li Duo said with a smile: "It's just that the yang is against the yin, and the light is against the secret!" ”
"The general only needs to order someone to post the edict of the Son of Heaven at the entrance of the official offices of the four counties of Hexi and the barriers of each barrier......
Li Guangli listened, came to his senses, and said with a smile: "What Li Gong said, it is wonderful!" ”
"So...... His Majesty's edict was thoroughly followed......"
"It's just a matter of ...... The Qiang people are stupid and disobedient, and refuse to be taught......"
He held the sword at his waist, walked back to his seat, and sat down peacefully: "And Ben will face such a fierce man, even if he has benevolence in his heart, but he has to endure tears for the sake of the millions of soldiers and civilians in the four counties of Hexi!" ”
Speaking of this, Li Guangli even sighed and shed a crocodile tear.
Just like when he ordered the destruction of the entire Luntai Kingdom and brought all the Luntai people back to Yumen.
It's really true feelings, full of emotion, and I feel regret and pain from the bottom of my heart!
It's a pity, whether it's the Luntai people, the Qiang people, or the Yueshi people, they can't understand the pain in his heart!
However, many of Li Guangli's generals looked at Li Guangli and Li Duo's double reed stupidly, and they didn't think clearly about the reason for a while.
After someone reminded them, they all woke up and laughed: "Yes! Yes, extremely! Your Majesty's grace is as deep as the sea, Your Majesty's Ze, the grass and trees are all bathed, but the Qiang people are stupid, do not know the king, and rebel against the Son of Heaven......"
Well......
As long as these notices and written contents do not reach the ears of the Qiang people.
As long as these things are not promoted, no one will take the initiative to promote them.
This policy means that no one knows about it.
Whether it is the Qiang people or the Yueshi people, they will still stupidly bump into the Tianluo net that the Han army has long arranged.
And the soldiers together, when the Qiang and Yueshi people, hundreds, thousands, thousands of people, rushed to the wall west of the river from all directions.
The cavalry in a hurry will set off immediately, and at the same time, the beacon fire and wolf smoke on the side will be ignited immediately.
In an instant, from Juyan to Jiuyuan, from Lingju to Ganquan Palace.
Thousands of miles of land will be flooded with wolf smoke and warnings.
At that time, the ministers of the court and the Son of Heaven had to tilt their resources to Hexi.
A large number of reinforcements and supplies will set off in the starry night.
And they can step on tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of enemy bones and reach the pinnacle of life.
Even better - even if the court investigates afterwards, send an envoy to investigate the cause.
They will only get the result that the general of the second division is loyal to the king's division, and the Han army is united, but the traitors of Xiqiang and the Yue clan are stubborn and unknown, and they are seeking their own death.
Even, you can use this to drag the guy who came up with that sassy idea behind his back into the water, so that he will lose a lot of points in front of the Son of Heaven!
As a result, Li Guangli Group will have both fame and fortune.
There is no need to be tainted with the crime of 'fighting against the Son of Heaven'.
There is no better solution.
It's just that......
Li Duo still has hidden worries in his heart.
He looked at the proud Li Guangli and other colleagues, and thought to himself: "If the Xiongnu, the Qiang people, and the Yueshi people attack at the same time, what kind of ......mistakes will our army make?"
"Shall I and my lords not become sinners?"
However, this thought only existed in his mind for a second, and then disappeared.
Because, compared to the risk, the benefit is undoubtedly greater!
Moreover, he knew that even if he brought it up, no one would pay attention to it and believe it.
The Han army operated for more than 30 miles in Hexi, with dense barriers and strong side walls.
Whether it is the Huns or the Qiang, they may be able to sneak in from a certain weak point, but no one can break through a certain key node and invade Hexi on a large scale!
