Chapter 402: Jia Wenhe took the initiative to ask for help

The matter between Duan Cheng and Zhang Huan, Jia Xu, who is from Liangzhou, naturally knows the dirty things between the two bigwigs in the "Liangzhou Sanming", and as a junior in Liangzhou, it is naturally inconvenient for him to say more. After all, today in front of him is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, if he says something wrong for a while, it will definitely make Liu Hong dissatisfied with him, of course, this is not the desire to let Liu Hong remember his Jia Xu.

However, Liu Hong can't think of anyone who can be Duan Cheng's main general, it doesn't mean that Jia Xu can't think of it, otherwise, Jia Xu wouldn't have made such a big circle, turned such a big corner, and paved the way for so long. I saw Jia Xu say in a straight voice: "Why does Your Majesty only pay attention to qualifications? Don't respect identity? Even if Taiwei Duan has made great achievements, his identity is not as good as the main general, so what is the use? ”

"Huh?" Liu Hong responded, he didn't understand what Jia Xu's intentions were, after all, marching and fighting, must be the first priority, if the qualifications are low, he will obviously suffer in front of the veterans, and he can't raise his head, and a military boss like Duan Cheng is even more so, how can he be convinced if he has no qualifications?

Of course, after thinking about it carefully, Liu Hong, who knew that Jia Xu would not make something out of nothing, also understood why he said that he only valued qualifications and not identity, what he meant was that since the qualifications could not find someone who could suppress Duan Cheng, then directly find someone who could suppress Duan Cheng in terms of identity, which would naturally be simple.

It's just that Duan Cheng has been the third duke, and the three dukes are beyond the reach of hundreds of officials, so naturally he can't choose the main general from the government and the opposition, and the people of Duan Cheng, who are other high-ranking officials, can only be relatives of the emperor. After all, no matter how Duan Cheng is in a high position, he has to admit it in front of the emperor's relatives, in the final analysis, he is just a lackey of the Son of Heaven, but the emperor's relatives are the family of the Son of Heaven, once he chooses a relative of the emperor who is good at military affairs as the main general, and then let Duan Cheng be the deputy general to assist the main general, unless Jia Xu wants to offend the Son of Heaven, otherwise he can only accept it honestly, unless he wants to rebel against the Han Dynasty, otherwise a relative of the emperor can let Duan Cheng be a deputy general who has no temper.

"With Qing's intentions, you want me to choose my relatives as generals?" Figuring out what Jia Xu meant for a long time, Liu Hong asked tentatively.

"Exactly!" Jia Xu replied in a positive voice, he induced Liu Hong step by step, naturally just for this step.

"Who do you want to choose?"

"Your Majesty has already chosen someone in his heart, and the minister doesn't need to say anything more."

After Jia Xu finished speaking, he didn't say much, and he made Liu Hong on the other side depressed, but he knew that this Jia Wenhe was this kind of character, so he didn't have it at all. Moreover, the meaning of Jia Xu's words, Liu Hong also understood, this young man from Liangzhou had already settled on him, and knew that if he really wanted to follow Jia Xu's method to summon Duan Cheng and make Duan Cheng the deputy general, then throughout the entire Han Dynasty, there was only one person who was suitable for this position, and there was no doubt that it was Fuquan, who was young and had great achievements.

As for why there is only one Fuquan, it is very simple, Liu Hong will definitely not choose the Liu clan as the main general, after all, on the one hand, there are basically not many Liu clan relatives who are good at military affairs, and on the other hand, even if there are Liu clan relatives who are good at using soldiers, Liu Hong will not give it.

After all, this is a national war, if there is a Liu clan in this national war for the main general to win, set up a great contribution, then where to put him, the emperor, when the time comes, will it be publicized to the whole world, he, the emperor of Liu Han, is not as good as a member of the clan? This was obviously not Liu Hong's wishes, so he chose the Liu clan as the main general and let Duan Cheng assist, which was automatically ignored by Liu Hong at the beginning.

So since the close relatives of the Han family surnamed Liu cannot be the main general, Liu Hong can naturally only find relatives with foreign surnames to take on this important task, and it is obvious that among his close relatives of Liu Hong in the court, there are only three people who are still in charge of the army. One is Liu Hong's father-in-law, the father of the Empress Song, the general Song Yu, the other is Liu Hong's brother-in-law, the brother of the concubine He, He Jin, the captain of the Tun cavalry, and the last one is Liu Hong's valued nephew Bajun Taishou Fuquan.

Looking at the entire Han Dynasty at present, only these three people have the qualifications to lead soldiers and are suitable to be the main general, otherwise, choose other people, even if their status is noble, but if they have never even brought soldiers, with Duan Rongma's decades of experience, I am afraid that they will also refuse to obey the edict and directly ask for resignation, which will make it difficult for Liu Hong.

Therefore, if you choose among these three, only Fuquan is the most suitable, because the general Song Yu can also suppress Duan Cheng regardless of his qualifications and popularity, after all, Song Yu has also fought with the army and the Xianbei people, and has also pacified the Jiangnan Xu thieves. However, it is a pity that Liu Hong still needs him to supervise the armies when he is in a decisive battle with Xianbei, so it is naturally impossible to transfer him to be the main general of the division all the way.

And He Jin, the captain of the Tun Cavalry, has enough identity, but it is obvious that Liu Hong has only just promoted him to take charge of the army, his qualifications are too shallow, and He Jin does not have any military achievements, Liu Hong himself is not at ease to appoint him to go deep behind the enemy to fight the Xianbei people.

Therefore, the first two do not meet the requirements of the main general, and only the last Fuquan remains. Of course, Fu Quan's identity is very suitable, although he is still young now, but in terms of qualifications and popularity, he can definitely suppress Duan Cheng, and even a large number of generals in the Han army now.

After all, how many people in the Great Han Army at this moment dare to say that their exploits can be better than Fuquan's? First of all, Fu Quan led the army to behead Xianbei Hu Chief Tan Shi Huai, which made countless people feel ashamed, and then he repeatedly pacified the Barbarian Rebellion in Ba County and the Huang Sui Rebellion in Jing and Yang Erzhou, and several exploits were added up, except for the veteran generals who guarded the frontier, the other generals were much worse than Fu Quan, naturally, Fu Quan was the most suitable as the main general of Duan Cheng.

After that, Jia Xu and Liu Hong talked again for a while, until the emperor no longer had any doubts and agreed to appoint Fu Quan as a general, but Jia Xu suddenly made a surprise move in front of Liu Hong.

I saw Jia Xu, who was usually indifferent, suddenly knelt down and pleaded: "The army is out of the fortress, the danger is unpredictable, although Duan Gong is not an old general, but he has not been in charge of military affairs for several years, although he is not talented, but he has a small plan, and he is also a courtier of the Han Dynasty, I am willing to ask for orders to go north with the army to conquer Xianbei, sweep away the border troubles, and avenge the country." ”

If Fuquan is here, when he sees this scene, he will definitely feel weird, where did Jia Wenhe, who said that he was good, go? Now he is willing to take risks alone, this is not Jia Xu in his impression at all.

Of course, Fu Quan knew this, but Liu Hong, who was in front of Jia Xu at the moment, didn't know, he thought that this was Jia Xu's heart to serve the country. Thinking that since Jia Xu entered Beijing as filial piety, it is now time for him to be released as an official, since he intends to go north this time, he will grant his request.
