Chapter 1 When the Opportunity Knocks on the Door 14
Later, it was the story of the conquest and killing, and Shi Hu's ferocious and vicious temperament was fully manifested in this process, "As for the surrender of the city and the siege, it is no longer good and evil, and there are few relics." ("Jin Shu Shi Jilong Chronicles"), after attacking the city and plundering the land, those who oppose him will be killed, and those who support him will be killed, only to be happy, where do you care about the fear and pain of others! The sword is raised, kill, kill, kill.
It is cruel to treat the enemy, and it is not much better to treat his fellow Shi Hu. "There are those in the army who are brave enough to do their own tricks and kill them, and they kill many people before and after."
What does that mean? Comrade Lei Feng once said that we should treat our comrades as warm as spring, and treat our enemies as cruel and ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. We can barely understand his brutality after the fall of the city, but we really can't figure out what bad it is for Shi Hu's comrades in his own army to use their talents to be better than him? Oh, it's the "one who is with himself", and he is not necessarily better than him.
Can jealousy really make people crazy and desperate?
Shi Hu is a villain who is not very self-interested and not very self-interested, and his only advantage is that he is good at commanding troops to fight, commanding well, scheduling well, and fighting in all directions, Shi Le can use it. After repeated admonitions, Shi Le no longer cared about him, and devoted himself to the task of conquest.
As a result, Shi Hu began the process of expanding the territory for Shile and crusading against him. and soon became an indispensable military general of Later Zhao.
The wicked have their own uses, and in the troubled times, perhaps, only evil like Shi Hu is the law of survival. People who are full of kindness and compassion are mostly weak.
In December 312, Shi Hu and Xianbei Duan Jilu Yu met in Zhuyang and became brothers. We don't have to be serious about who is the brother and who is the younger brother, this is a successful alliance, Shi Hu used his special identity (Shi Le's nephew) to win the support of the Duan family, at least, don't be mischievous and drag his feet. This was of great significance to the disintegration of the relationship between the Xianbei tribe and the Jin Dynasty generals Wang Jun, Liu Kun and others at that time, and laid the foundation for the later elimination of Wang Jun, Liu Kun and others.
To divide the enemy is to strengthen oneself. Shi Hu's first military exploit was not fought with a knife and a gun, and I don't know why Shi Hu didn't learn some lessons from it.
In April 313, Shi Hu conquered Yecheng and was ordered to defend Yecheng shortly thereafter. If Dunbing Gepi is the turning point of Shi Le's career, then guarding Yecheng is the beginning of Shi Huwang's hegemony. Yecheng, Cao Cao's lair, in addition to Luoyang, was another political center of China at that time. The beauty of the palace is the solidity of the three (Tongque Terrace, Golden Tiger Terrace, and Bingjing Terrace). Although there have been several wars, the grandeur of the imperial capital has not fallen. Shi Hu didn't want to leave when he stayed, he had his own base, and then he had other ideas, such as separating himself and standing on his own. Of course, Shile was still there, and he didn't dare yet. But thinking about it in my heart, there can always be, Shi Hu was not yet twenty years old that year, but he had already begun to think in his heart, his own thoughts, according to Yecheng.
In April 316, Shi Hu Keqiu, Liu Yan fled, and Shi Hu captured Liu Yan's younger brother Liu Qi.
In June 317, Shi Hu surrounded his ancestors in Qiaocheng.
In November 318, Shi Hu led the armies of Youyou and Ji Prefecture to attack Pingyang with Shi Le, and defeated Le Zhun Di Le Ming many times, and then Shi Le conquered Pingyang. It's just that Le Ming surrendered to Liu Yao at that time and didn't catch him.
In April 319, Zu Ti attacked Chenchuan, and the reinforcement Shihu defeated Zu Ti in Junyi (now Kaifeng, Henan), and moved 5,000 households from Chenchuan to Xiangguo.
In the same year, Shi Hu severely damaged the Xianbei tribe in Shuofang, beheading 20,000 and capturing 30,000.
In February 320, Shi Hu besieged Tici and captured Shao Xu.
In August 320, Shi Hu attacked Xu Niche and Xu Niche surrendered.
In March 321, Shi Hu attacked Youzhou and assassinated Duan Pipan, who was killed by Later Zhao, along with Duan Wenyang and Shao Xu.
In July 322, Shi Hu captured Xu Niche and Shi Le killed him.
In August 322, Shi Hu besieged Guanggu City, and Cao Wei surrendered. Shi Hu killed and surrendered 30,000 soldiers.
In June 325, Shi Hu captured Shiliang, captured Liu Yue and more than 80 of his generals, and killed 9,000 Liu Yue's soldiers. Immediately, Shi Hu attacked Wang Teng, captured and killed him, and killed more than 7,000 of his soldiers. Sizhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou were all included in Later Zhao, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was bounded by Huaishui.
The above is not an article in the chronological style, it should be regarded as Shi Hu's resume, and it is also Shi Hu's combat exploits. Countless heads are rolling, and Shi Hu's exploits are increasing day by day. No matter how tortuous and cruel the process was, it is undeniable that Shi Hu made indelible contributions to the Later Zhao regime. Along with his military exploits, Shi Hu's ambition grew, and his official position became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more troops under his command, and Comrade Shi Hu's "ambition" became bigger and bigger.
But Shi Le couldn't allow Shi Hu, who was getting bigger and bigger, to threaten him, not even his own son, let alone his nephew, and he picked it up! Throughout the ages, in the face of unlimited power desires, family affection is particularly fragile.
In October 326, Shi Le used Cheng Yao to build the Yecheng Palace, with the prince Shi Hong to guard Yecheng, with 10,000 forbidden soldiers, and the 54 battalions of troops led by the general of the chariot cavalry were all deployed in Yecheng, and the hussar general and the courtier Wang Yang specially led the six Yi to assist Shi Hong, and directly seized all the power of Shi Hu in Yecheng. As for Shi Hu, Shi Le asked him to move, return to Xiangguo, and live under his nose.
This is a typical "more work is not rewarded". Fortunately, the relationship between Shi Hu and Shi Le is extraordinary, otherwise they would have to be swordsmen and necks. Under the high merit, Shi Hu can only be obedient, and he has to show cheers. Tears can only be endured, and anger can only be held.
The base that has been in business for many years is gone, and Shi Hu hates Cheng Yao who gave advice to Shi Le. But with Shi Le here, he couldn't help it.
The battle will continue to be fought, in the same year, Shi Hu attacked the acting king Tuoba Suna, the two sides fought in the north of the Juzhu Mountain, Tuoba Suna was defeated, and moved the capital to Daning to avoid the enemy's disaster.
After that, in 328, the decisive battle with Liu Yao, the former lord of Zhao, Shi Hu was defeated, but the merits he established in the battle to eliminate Liu Yao were huge.
In September 329, Shi Hu captured Liu Xi, the former prince of Zhao, Liu Yin, the king of Nanyang, and more than 3,000 people, including his generals, county kings, ministers, and school captains, and killed them all. More than 9,000 civil and military officials of the former Zhao court, the Guandong refugees, and the clans of Qinzhou and Yongzhou were migrated to Xiangguo, and more than 5,000 people from the Tu tribes of the five counties were killed in Luoyang.
After that, Shi Hu attacked the Jimu and Department of the Qiang people in Hexi, won, captured tens of thousands of people, and pacified Qinzhou and Longxi. Puhong, the king of the Di tribe, and Yao Yizhong, the leader of the Qiang tribe, all surrendered to Shihu.
Shi Hu recommended Pu Hong to supervise the Liuyi military, and Yao Yizhong served as the governor of Liuyi. 150,000 people of the two ethnic groups of Qian and Qiang were located in Si and Hebei Prefectures. Please note that these two people, the history after Hou Zhao, have their roles, the protagonists, not clowns.
In February 330, Shi Le was proclaimed the Great Zhao Heavenly King and performed the affairs of the emperor (in September, he was proclaimed emperor). Shi Hong, the prince of the world, is the crown prince; Zi Shihong was a hussar general, the governor of Chinese and foreign military, Da Dan Yu, and the king of Qin; Zi Shibin is the general of the left guard and the king of Taiyuan; Zi Shihui was the general of the auxiliary state and was named the king of Nanyang; Zhongshan Gong Shihu is the Tai Lieutenant and Shang Shuling, and he is the King of Zhongshan; Shi Hu's son Shi Di was the assassin of Jizhou and the king of Qi.
Shi Le was very happy, he was a slave and trampled on by 10,000 people, and now he is the emperor (actually), sitting on the world, it is strange to be unhappy. But Shi Hu was very unhappy, the official was small, he wanted to be a big single Yu, but Shi Le didn't give it, he gave the "big single Yu" to his son. "Da Shan Yu" was the supreme leader of the steppe nomads, and before there was no "emperor", it was the emperor. Not all Hu people recognized the emperor, but all Hu people must recognize Da Shan Yu.
Shile is really reluctant to give! After all, a nephew is not a son.
"Since the beginning of the kingdom of Xiangguo, the Lord has bowed his hand and sat back to enjoy the success, and he bowed to me as a stone. For more than 20 years, Liu Yue was captured in the south, Suotou was taken in the north, Pingqi and Lu in the east, Qin and Yong in the west, and there were three out of ten in Kezhou. Cheng Da Zhao Gong, too. The hope of the big single is really in me, and the yellow kiss maid, every time I remember this, people can no longer sleep. After the Lord is on the driver's seat, it is not enough to regain the seed. ”
This is Shi Hu secretly told his son Shi Di, I don't know how the historian knows, "no longer keep the seeds", Shi Hu was already ready to kill all the descendants of Shi Le at that time, and those who were as wise as Shi Le did not notice it after all.
