Chapter 72: The Big Pit
The next morning, Han Anguo once again negotiated with Wei Qing on the purge work, and proposed Hong Ping for the first time.
At this time, Hong Ping was already dead, a few months ago he had nominally retreated to the second line, and even planned to return to his hometown at the beginning of next month, for the affairs of the court and the army, he had not even participated in the early dynasty for three months.
After the next dynasty, Han Anguo went to Jianzhang Palace to make a special report to Liu Che on these works.
"Your Majesty, the minister, the minister has been in poor health for the past few days, the old injuries have recurred, and the case of the incense building is currently being closed in an accelerated manner. Han Anguo complained.
Liu Che hated the person who retreated at this critical moment the most, so he said: "This matter is related to the criminal law, if you are not in charge, who will be in charge?" Wei Qing also has to pay attention to military affairs, and the decisive battle against the Xiongnu cannot be delayed. ”
Han Anguo froze: "Your Majesty, do you think you can let Hong Ping come and grasp this matter temporarily." ”
Hong Ping, no one reminded him, Liu Che immediately remembered him, and he remembered angrily: "Isn't he going back to his hometown to recuperate?" It's good to go, so that young people can take over more energetically. ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Taiwei Hong is still waiting for the order." This is Han Anguo's last straw, otherwise, if he offends so many people, once something happens, Liu Che will protect him if he is happy, and if he is not happy, he will dig a grave for himself.
Liu Che looked very unhappy, he didn't like this kind of person who was not happy at all, but there was no way, military discipline was the basis for ensuring victory in battle, and a physical examination must be conducted from top to bottom.
"Spread my will, let Hong Ping assist Wei Qing to get this matter done as soon as possible, you, the incense building incident must also be closed as soon as possible, and shift the focus to Wei Qing's side, remember, those involved in collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country will not be tolerated." Liu Che was very determined.
Han Anguo's heart fell, and he arched his hand and said, "No! ”
In the end, under Han Anguo's soft grinding and hard bubbles, this matter was really thrown to Hong Ping.
Hong Ping, who learned the news, almost fainted, and after packing up his baggage, he left Chang'an and returned to the countryside to retire after his majesty's permission, but now that there is such a thing, he feels even more bad.
……
"Ruoyao, Ruoyao!" Wei Qing hurriedly walked into the war room and saw Ruoyao building a sand table, so he said excitedly: "You were really right, Han Anguo pushed Hong Ping out." ”
Ruoyao smiled and dropped the sand in her hand and said: "General, don't underestimate Han Anguo, although this person doesn't have great ability, he is very wise and knows his current situation very well." Ruoyao remembered that Han Anguo, the younger brother who could survive under the command of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history, was one of them, and it was also one of the very few.
Wei Qing frowned after hearing this, staring at the busy Ruoyao, her curiosity about Ruoyao was no less than her curiosity about the Huns, a woman, the battle of Longcheng knew the intentions of the imperial court, and now she analyzed the situation of the imperial court and said: "Ruoyao, what did you do before the Xiongnu?" It's before General Ben lets you go. ”
"Huh!" Ruoyao knew Wei Qing's intention to ask, so she thought for a moment and said: "I, I am the child of an ordinary family in Shanggu County, the Huns killed my whole family in the early years, and I was taken away by them like this. ”
Wei Qing didn't believe such nonsense at all, but if he asked, it would be in vain, if Ruoyao wanted to say it, he would have said it a long time ago.
At this time, Mrs. Shen hurriedly walked in from outside and reported that Hong Ping had come to the house.
"Serve tea, let me wait in the hall, General Ben will come soon."
Ruoyao put down the sand in her hand and followed with her eight clothes.
……
"Captain Hong, forgive me for the loss!" Wei Qing began to greet from afar.
Hong Ping looked helpless, and replied: "Hehe, don't call me a captain anymore, there is no captain now, Your Majesty wants to take charge of the military plane, and I can only go back to my hometown to retire." ”
"Captain Hong, where is this!" Wei Qing stepped forward and guided: "Come, please take a seat!" ”
The change in Hong Ping's attitude towards Wei Qing is too great, the Queen Mother didn't take Wei Qing in her eyes at all on her birthday, and after these months of overt and covert struggle, Hong Ping felt that he was not an opponent.
"When I arrived at the house today, I just wanted to ask the general how the purge work was carried out." After Hong Ping finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said: "To be honest, the old man was going back to the countryside in a few days, Your Majesty ......." ”
Ruoyao took over the conversation: "Lord Taiwei, this is not to blame our general, it was Han Yushi who recommended you in front of His Majesty, you know, the purge is inseparable from the criminal law." ”
Hong Ping's face instantly became unsightly after hearing this, and the strength of the teacup was a little strong, so that the tea seeped out, and he also knew that it was not easy to offend people, and he was old, so why bother?
"I wonder how many people the general is going to take this time?" Hong flattened his face and went straight to the point, purge purge purge , purge if you don't clean up a few people, what is it called purge if you don't take down a group of people?
Wei Qing got up and frowned, Liu Che's intention always echoed in his ears that night: "Your Majesty's holy will, at least a few examples of four grades or more must be captured to shock the whole army, and those who can't fight must be eliminated from the army." ”
Hong Ping sneered after hearing this, it was really a very tricky errand, no wonder Han Anguo didn't take over, Hong Ping has been serving as the acting lieutenant since Tian Wei's death, and the generals above the fourth rank of the army know everything about it.
It can be said that these generals above the third grade are basically left behind during the period of the first emperor, and they either have backers or various relationships behind them, and the rest are related to the previous Empress Dowager Dou, and some have even occupied a position for decades, and some have privatized the army, taking care of the family, doing business, and so on.
"General, Your Majesty's intention to reorganize the army this time should not be as simple as curbing some troops to be lazy." Hong Ping had already guessed Liu Che's intentions, and Liu Che definitely wanted to replace the generals of the army with his own people, and it can be seen from Wei Qing's replacement of the lieutenant that Liu Che was concentrating the army in the center.
Wei Qing has always been very cautious about figuring out the holy will, although he knows that Liu Che wants to change a batch of blood in the army before the Xiongnu go south: "This, the general doesn't know, but the army does need to be rectified, and the structure also needs to be changed, especially for the Xiongnu, we must establish and improve better cavalry combat units, otherwise it will be impossible to destroy the Xiongnu." ”
"Annihilation!" The elders of the Hongping and Ping dynasties, in the period of the first emperor, have never heard of the word elimination, at that time no one dared to mention the word elimination, the most used is to resist, resist the Huns to the south, two words, Hong Ping has already appreciated Liu Che's mind and dreams, sighed: "Hey, Your Majesty has great ambitions." ”
