Section 279 The stars will shine brightly

Li Guangli looked at the smiling eldest grandson in front of him, and was in a trance for a while, and even almost thought that he was dazzled.

Slightly fixed, Li Guangli could only bow again: "Your Highness cares, and the generals of the ministers thank you!" ”

"The last general will wait to thank His Highness for his care!" Several generals behind him bowed respectfully.

"Xiaguan Zhang Zizhong, I respectfully ask the ...... of the prince and the public security" Zhang Yue stood up at the right time, bowed his hand, and at the same time kept scanning these generals with his eyes, guessing the names of these generals in his heart.

In the history books of later generations, except for one Li Guangli, the name of his generals and schools is probably not clear to many people.

Even, if it is not for the existence of the "Records of the Historian" and the "Book of Han", people may not even know that two thousand years ago, there was a Zhuxia army that made an expedition to Central Asia, drank the Marcel River, and conquered this region.

So far, Dawan's military and diplomatic affairs have been guided by the Han family.

The right to establish the king of Dawan belongs to the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

In the Dahonglu Yamen of Chang'an City, there is a prince of Dawan as a hostage.

If necessary, the Han army can take him at any time, return to Dawan with a large army, and support this prince to the throne.

As for the names of those heroes who once took the lead or were full of wisdom in the Dawan War, they are almost not seen in history.

There are only a few names, and there are remnants in a corner of a page in the history books.

They have been vacant out of thin air in history.

This is because Li Guangli became a traitor, and he betrayed the Han family.

So the ruler tried every means to belittle and scandalize everything about him, erasing most of his merits.

But at this moment, the fierce generals and strategists under Li Guangli are famous all over the world, like thunder.

For example, joining the army in cloth clothes, starting as a husband, accumulating merit for the successor of the former general of the Han Dynasty is similar to his father.

This person is both wise and brave, and once led dozens of Han soldiers to destroy a Western Regions Kingdom named Fule who had tortured and killed Han merchants, and captured 2,500 people, although this is an achievement made after he borrowed more than 1,000 Wusun soldiers, but it is indeed very strong!

For example, there is also a general under Li Guangli, known as the dog of Haixi Hou, this person is named Lai Dan, the prince of the Western Regions, who was once detained by the Qiuzi people, but was rescued by Li Guangli's troops when he went west to conquer Dawan.

Since then, this prince has become Li Guangli's brainless fan, joined his army, started from the team leader, and has grown into a captain of the Han family until now.

This is a captain of the field army!

In history, Lai Dan finally became the introduction of the Han family to solve the problem of Qiuci - Chang Hui, the general of Emperor Xuan, in the name of 'Qiuci killed Lai Dan, the captain of the Han Dynasty thirteen years ago', issued the Son of Heaven Festival, transferred Wusun, Loulan and Che Shi soldiers, and asked Qiuci for the blame, and the king of Qiuci killed the anti-Han faction in the country and offered his ministers.

There is also Zhao Xindi, a native of Handan, who is brave and unparalleled, and it is said that he has taken the lead many times in the Dawan War, and finally set up the battle exploit of killing Yu Chengwang, the leader of the Dawan hatred Han faction!

………………

There are more than ten other generals with names and surnames and outstanding achievements.

These people together constitute the elite main force of the Han army under Li Guangli.

"I just don't know, how many of these generals have returned to Beijing with Li Guangli?" Zhang Yue thought to himself, he was especially interested in talking to these people.

Because, they know best, and at the same time, they know the current situation of the entanglement and confrontation between the Han and Xiongnu in the Western Regions.

Many things that are best approached by asking them.

Of course, among these people, the most important is Li Guangli!

In this life, Zhang Yue knew early on that Li Guangli was not the villain who had been face-painted in history.

In fact, Li Guangli's reputation is very good.

Especially in the army, he has a good evaluation.

He may not have done it, but he did it in relative fairness and justice.

During the Dawan War, Li Guangli went to the court and made a list of heroes with a total number of more than 1,500.

And they fought hard to get the best reward for them.

There are more than 100 people in 2,000 stone alone, and more than 1,000 in 1,000 stone.

There are rumors in the market that the soldiers who followed Li Guangli out of the fortress back then, even if they were a fellow, received a reward of no less than 40,000 yuan!

In these years, those who can fight for benefits and treatment for their subordinates can be mediocre and good bosses!

Not to mention the generals and colonels in Li Guangli's army, most of whom climbed up by virtue of military exploits.

There is hardly any nepotism.

Only a relative of his status can put an end to nepotism and the ability to encroach on the military merits of soldiers.

It's just that......

When Li Guangli was defeated and surrendered, everything he did was wrong.

For better or worse, it's all a stick to death.

His subordinates either surrendered with him, or were gradually degraded and released.

Just like Lai Dan, who has now accumulated merit under his command to become a general, was killed by the Qiuzi people a few years later.

At that time, no one in the Han court sought justice for him, and thirteen years later, Chang Hui, who had nothing to do with him and didn't even know him, would avenge him under the banner of 'Spring and Autumn Righteousness'.

Thinking like this, Zhang Yue also sighed.

History is like that.

Hugh said that Li Guangli was born! is that Huo Guang has the merit of supporting the society, known as the 'contemporary Zhou Gong', and in the end, he ended up walking alone, and the whole family was gray, and he couldn't even mention it?

If Brother A Xiu hadn't rehabilitated him, I'm afraid Huo Guang's historical status would be similar to Li Guangli's.

Become a face-painted villain.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue carefully looked at the Haixi Hou and Second Division General Li Guangli in front of him.

This brother-in-law of the Son of Heaven, who is now about forty years old, may have been stationed in Juyan and Zhangye for a long time, representing the Son of Heaven to deter the Xiongnu and the Western Regions, so his complexion is tanned by the sun, and his skin is also very rough, but he loves to be clean, his beard and clothes are very neat, and he carries a sword that seems to be inlaid with pearls and gold at his waist.

At first, Zhang Yue thought he was showing off his wealth, but after careful observation, Zhang Yue knew that he was showing off his martial arts!

Because the decoration and shape of that sword are not Chinese-style long swords.

Rather, it is a sword with the characteristics of Greek culture, and the scabbard is even carved with an image that I don't know if it is Athena or who.

Needless to say, this is his trophy!

Zhang Yue, who has gone back in history, knows that the Dawan Kingdom is called 'Bactria' in the European history books, and it was founded by the descendants of Alexander's Eastern Expeditionary Army.

And now, these mixed descendants of Macedonian colonizers and Central Asian Cypriots are subjugated to the Han family.

Perhaps in a few decades, this kingdom will cease to exist, or even become a county of the Han dynasty.

Thinking about it like this, Zhang Yue felt that it seemed quite interesting.

……………………

Zhang Yue was observing Li Guangli, and Li Guangli was also observing him.

"This Zhang Zizhong is really too young!" Li Guangli stared at the young waiter in front of him, and thought to himself: "When I was his age, I was still addicted to cockfighting and lackeys......"

Moreover, this lieutenant is the same as the palace legend, the figure is not very tall, at most seven feet, and the body is slender, if he didn't know what he had done, Li Guangli would almost think that this young man was a famous Confucian disciple of Qilu!

But......

Li Guangli, who has been involved in politics and the military for more than 20 years, has already understood a truth -- those in high positions, whether they are mediocre or excellent, whether they are old or young, since they can be in a high position, they must have their talents!

If you look down on others, you will definitely suffer!

Therefore, at that moment, Li Guangli bowed to Zhang Yue lightly, and said with a smile: "Zhang Shizhong, I have heard of the name for a long time, and I hope that I will give advice to Shizhong when we meet today!" ”

The generals behind him arched their hands and said, "Please also give me more advice!" ”

"Don't dare to be!" Zhang Yue smiled and bowed his hand and asked: "Please also ask you to sit down with the generals......"

As he spoke, he and Liu Jin led everyone into the main hall of the official office.

The guests and hosts sat down separately, Liu Jin naturally sat on the top, while Zhang Yue and Li Guangli sat on the left and right, and the rest of the generals sat in two columns.

Immediately there was a servant and refreshments were served.

"Please also introduce the ......generals to His Royal Highness," Zhang Yue said with a smile as he sat down.

Li Guangli hurriedly said when he heard this: "This is the minister's negligence......" As he spoke, he got up and took off his hat to Liu Jin and Zhang Yue, and then said: "Please introduce ...... to His Royal Highness and the servants."

He walked to the left side first, and introduced to the general who was sitting in the first place, looking tall but looking quite elegant: "This is the minister's long history Wang Xuan......"

"The prince had studied in Taixue in the past, and when he heard that the Western Regions Cheshi and other countries were infringing on the Han merchants, he was angry and threw his pen into Rong, and for more than ten years, he devoted himself to the affairs of the army, and the affairs of the army relied on the assistance of the prince!"

Wang Xuan immediately got up and bowed to Liu Jin and said, "The last general, Wang Xuan, will visit His Royal Highness......"

Then his eyes burned, staring at Zhang Yue like a beauty.

When Dong Zhongshu was alive, he once audited Yu Maoling, and later became a student, and he was regarded as Dong Zhongshu's disciple, and he also had some friendship with Dong Yue.

Therefore, he knew that the Ram School was now betting its future hopes on this squire.

I also know that this servant dedicates "Spring and Autumn Twenty-eight Righteousness" to Taixue.

Naturally, I am full of affection for Zhang Yue!

Zhang Yue has an infinite affection for him!

Because, if Zhang Yue did not guess wrong, this Wang Xuan is probably the unknown long history in history when Li Guangli led the army deep into Zhijushui, he thought about launching a mutiny and arresting him.

Such a person is indeed worthy of respect.

Li Guangli continued to come to the next person and introduced: "This is General Li Duo!" ”

"General Li is known for his intrigues, he has worked with his ministers to attack Dawan, offered advice many times, and made strange plans to break the city of Dawan countless times!"

Zhang Yue was also in awe when he heard it, General Li Duo!

This is a think-tank type of master, and his battle for fame is not just a Dawan war.

In the Battle of Tianshan, it is said that it was he who offered advice, so that Li Guangli found the flaw of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, broke it, and killed more than 10,000 people!

Li Duo's figure is relatively thick, his height may be almost the same as Zhang Yue, he looks low-browed, and he belongs to the kind of honest person who doesn't say a word.

If Li Guangli didn't say it, Zhang Yue wouldn't have thought that he was a Han general who was called 'fox wolf' by the Huns and Che Shiren.

The fox is a description of his cunning and resourcefulness, while the wolf is a summary of his ferocity.

It is said that as soon as he finds a flaw, he will immediately grab it and bite it fiercely.

In the Dawan War, when he was only a captain, he once came up with a strategy to constantly mobilize the main force of Dawan Yucheng Wang, and finally created an opportunity for the main force of the Han army to completely annihilate the Dawan aristocratic troops.

"Minister Li Duo has seen His Royal Highness...... Li Duo bowed slightly, and was very reserved to Liu Jin and Zhang Yue.

………………

Li Guangli introduced all the way and introduced more than 10 generals and officers accompanying him.

It's a pity that Zhao Xindi, Lai Dan and others who Zhang Yue wanted to know didn't seem to come with him.

However, Zhang Yue also knew several famous generals in the world.

For example, Li Xun, the first Han general who first ascended Guishan City, the capital of the Dawan king, led the army to break through the Luntai Kingdom, and led the troops to start Luntai, Luntai Governor Wang Shensheng, who led his troops to Kangju Country to fight a soy sauce in the Dawan War.

Especially Shangguan Xiangru, as soon as Zhang Yue heard his name and then listened to the introduction, his eyes lit up, and his heart itched very much.

Perhaps in this era, there were already many Han merchants and envoys who crossed the green mountains and went to Central, South and West Asia.

However, the only ones who really broke into the Green Mountains with the Han army that were formed into the Green Mountains were Shangguan Ji and his son.

This means a lot!

This is the farthest foreign land that the Zhuxia army has ever visited.

It was not until decades later that this record was broken by Chen Tang - Chen Tang conquered Zhizhi Shan Yu and crossed Weishui (Amu Darya).

Then it will have to wait until the Tang Dynasty period, the Tang army of the Anxi Protectorate.

After that, no Zhuxia army would have crossed this limit.

It is no exaggeration to say that Shangguan Ji's father and son went to Kangju to fight soy sauce and was one of the top ten expeditions in Chinese military history.

It's a pity that neither the parties, nor the contemporaries or historians are aware of this matter today.

When the old Shangguan Ji was in the court, he didn't even think it was a big deal - he just took about 3,000 Han army infantry cavalry troops, chased the remnants of Dawan Yucheng Wang, chased into the territory of Kangju, and then took a face to face with King Kangju, and under the front of the soldiers, the Kangju people handed over King Yucheng and his subordinates, and then the old Shangguan Ji and Shangguan Xiangru left the territory of Kangju with the prisoners satisfied.

In the middle, he had a small 'discussion' with the Kangju army, and about 'had an in-depth exchange of views' and 'expressed the serious dissatisfaction of the Han Empire with the Kangju protection of the war criminal Yu Chengwang'.

As for why the Han army pursued war criminals and caught up with such a trivial matter in Kangju, naturally no one will mention it.

But others don't understand, Zhang Yue understands!

Among the countries of the Western Regions, those countries that do not border with the Han family, the most hostile to the Han family is this Kangju.

Historically, it was the Kangju people who sheltered Zhi Zhishan Yu, which led to the Chen Tang expedition.

Even now, Kangju people are ambitious.

However, the scum of Kangju belongs to the big wave before the Western Era, and the typical heart is higher than the sky and the life is thinner than paper.

Every time they tried to meddle in the affairs of the East, they were scared.

This was the case with the Dawan War, and so was the later Han-Hungarian War.
