Chapter 893: The Emperor's Caution

The curtain of war is slowly opened, and at this time, no matter how deeply hidden the hidden things are, they will be revealed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Ancient times were not as developed as modern times, various technologies were not as advanced as modern ones, and they did not do a good job of secrecy. But there was an advantage of antiquity, and that was backwardness. Even if Chang'an City has already made a big deal about the Han Dynasty's conquest of the Xiongnu, Yi Zhixie will have to know it after three months, and with this time difference, the first hand is already in the hands of the Han Dynasty.

Dahan Bao Sacrificial Wine Sima Xiangru and Dr. Zhuo Wenjun were discussing a manuscript from the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was obtained by the reporter sent to the palace to participate in the court meeting today. The reporter made it very clear that Prime Minister Dou Ying personally stopped him during the dispersal of the dynasty and took him home in an exclusive interview. According to what the reporter said, Dou Ying announced in a high-profile manner that the Han Dynasty was already the most powerful and wealthy empire today, and anyone who dared to defy the Han would be punished.

From this manuscript, Sima Xiangru got a lot of information. As a person who has been in charge of the public opinion of the Han Dynasty for so many years, his sensitivity to facts even exceeds that of the Taishou stationed in various places. The prime minister's high profile can only show that the Han is ready to fight, and will give the Huns a swift blow. At the same time, Prime Minister Dou Ying praised Li Guang, Su Ren and Wei Qing, so it means that the three people who went to fight against the Xiongnu are likely to lead the army.

Zhuo Wenjun smiled slightly: "It seems that we have a special edition, and we have to add a supplement, with this article as the front page, it will not take a few days for all the ministers of the court to make a statement, Your Majesty will definitely go to the suburbs to sacrifice, this is a big deal!" ”

Sima Xiangru nodded: "It's indeed a big deal, why don't we send someone to do an interview with Li Guang, Su Ren and Wei Qing?" ”

Zhuo Wenjun smiled: "You are suspected of coercing Your Majesty!" The imperial court has not yet announced who will lead the several armies on this expedition, and once the three interviews are issued, the imperial court will not be able to change even if it wants to. ”

Sima Xiangru laughed: "This matter has already been rumored, even if we don't talk about the change of the imperial court, we have to think about it, this Su Ren has not been here since he came back, and this sacrificial wine will personally go to him for an exclusive interview tonight." ”

Although Su Ren has nothing to do these days, other messy things have already made him very irritable. Especially the people sent by the Taichang Mansion, Su Ren, who was tossed, was dizzy. has received news that Liu Che is preparing a suburban sacrifice for this expedition against the Xiongnu, and at the same time will carry out the long-lost worship ceremony. For this reason, Li Guang, Su Ren, and Wei Qing all have people from Taichang Mansion in their homes, and they are teaching the etiquette of the three of them to worship the generals.

"At that time, the prime minister will hold the flag, the captain will hold the seal, the imperial doctor will take the ribbon, and His Majesty will personally give the general the flag, seal, and ribbon, and the general should perform three kneels and nine knocks! These three kneeling and nine knocking originate from the Zhou ceremony, the general does not have to worry, he will sing the salute in person too often, the general only needs to sing in strict accordance with the Taichang singing, but the general should remember what the subordinate said, kneel not on one leg, knock on the ground when the five bodies throw themselves ,......"

Su Ren's face was already dark, and the guy in front of him had no intention of stopping his mouth from morning to noon, seeing that it was about to be dinner. It is indeed a big deal to pay homage to the general, but is it good to pay so much attention and publicize it with such fanfare? Even if Yi Zhiyi knows a little later, he will know after all, and at this time, the people who lead the army will be circled, and the Huns will naturally take corresponding countermeasures. Could it be that the Han court has forgotten the thirty-six plans? Isn't it the best way to hide from the world?

Hard-headed, Su Ren did what the dead face sent by Taichang Mansion asked him to do, and if he didn't do well, he would be pointed out by others, and at the same time, he said it with meanness and contempt. No matter how good Su Ren's temper is, this will already be on the verge of an attack.

Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang have been watching from the side, if it weren't for these two old men, the official of Taichang Mansion might have been tied up and beaten by Su Ren. Wen Dang smiled, Su Ren is his disciple, and he is really happy to have the current scenery as a teacher. Dong Zhongshu still had a serious face, and he could see that Su Ren was impatient, but it was always bad to criticize his son-in-law in front of outsiders, so Dong Zhongshu was also enduring.

It took a full day for the officials of Taichang Mansion to let Su Ren go. Sweating in the winter, Su Ren couldn't wait to go back to the back house to take a shower and change clothes. When everything was cleaned up and the sun had already set, just as Su Ren was about to eat, Sima Xiangru came.

"General Su!" Sima Xiangru was very polite, and gave Su Ren a big gift as soon as they met, and the rice bowl in Su Ren's hand almost fell to the ground. Sima Xiangru smiled, without waiting for Su Ren to speak, he got up from the ground, sat opposite Su Ren, and instructed Huang Shisan to get him a pair of dishes and chopsticks: "What, what is General Su doing when he looks at the lower officials?" But what's wrong with the lower officer's dress? ”

Su Ren shook his head, and then nodded again: "It's not that you're dressed inappropriately, but why are you weird now?" Even give me a salute? ”

Sima Xiangru said with a smile: "The identity is different, and the etiquette that should be there is indispensable." ”

"What identity?"

Sima Xiangru took the dishes and chopsticks brought by Huang Shisan, and unceremoniously began to eat: "The people from Taichang Mansion just left, right?" In a few days, you will be a hussar general, that is a figure under the three dukes, and the lower officials are ordinary with a sacrificial wine, and they will naturally have to give a big gift when they see you! ”

"!" Su Renhu stood up.

Sima Xiangru smiled slightly: "Why is the general still so vulgar? ”

"Put away this face of yours, or I'll drive people out!" Su Ren stood up with a serious face.

"Hahaha......" Sima Xiangru laughed: "Okay, okay!" Let's eat, it'll be cold after a while, do you know what I'm doing today? ”

"If you have business, I'll talk about it tomorrow, and if you visit friends and talk all night, it's no problem."

Sima Xiangru nodded: "Very good, you haven't been to me since you came back, and I thought you forgot that you still have a down-and-out friend like me, so I came uninvited, if you want to kick me out, do it now, so as not to eat a bowl of rice from your house." ”

Su Ren sat down slowly: "How do you feel that there is Nuoda's resentment in these words?" Didn't I just go to see you? Aren't you here today? Besides, when I wasn't there, I heard that you didn't run to my house a lot! ”

"Poof!" Sima Xiangru squirted out a mouthful of rice, coughing again and again: "Brother Su, don't dare to say nonsense, it's a big incident for you not to come to your house with me, I haven't been here once!" ”

Su Ren smiled: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" The most annoying thing is that you righteous gentlemen, there are not only female relatives in my family, but also father-in-law and teachers, they are all cold, even if you come, what's the big deal. ”

Sima Xiangru sighed: "You are still talking such nonsense, eat, let's talk slowly after eating." ”

The supplements and special issues of the Dahan Daily were issued one after another, which immediately caused a great storm in Chang'an and even in the Han Dynasty, starting with Dou Ying's article, and the following tirades were all pointed at the war. In particular, the interviews of Li Guang, Wei Qing, and Su Ren aroused the interest of many people. Li Guang and Wei Qing's interviews are not particularly brilliant at a glance, and Su Ren's is very different, especially the words of Su Ren quoted in the report, and everyone who has read them laughs.

Liu Che read it carefully, pointed to Su Ren's interview and said to Liu Jiqing: "This guy dares to say anything, you look at what kind of this is talking about, what is called a Hun is a piece of, am I a dog?" There is also this sentence, a million troops crossed the Great Wall, it sounds scary, the soldiers and horses assembled this time are only 300,000, how can there be millions? It's just nonsense. ”

Liu Jiqing didn't say a word, and Su Kai on the side said: "General Su's words are to boost the morale of my Han people, General Su's interview is very welcome, everyone is talking about it in the streets and alleys, and whether it is the people or officials, as long as they watch General Su's interview, there is no doubt about my Han's victory!" ”

Liu Che glanced at Su Kai: "It's rare, you finally said something for Su Ren, I thought you were a cold person!" ”

Su Kai hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty atoned for your sins, and the minister just told the truth." ”

Liu Che waved his hand: "Get up, I don't mean to blame you, you were rescued by Su Ren from the land, followed him to many places, and he is not a brother or a brother, if you never dare to speak, I think you are too kind, this is not a normal person, today you speak for Su Ren, I am very happy, not forgetting my heart is the person I need." ”

"Your Majesty Xie is not to blame! The minister's loyalty to the Han and His Majesty in this life can be learned! ”

"I know! By the way, how has the matter progressed with you? ”

Su Kai hurriedly said: "The minister has already found out, General Su does have a force under him, the number is about 100 people, each of them is a master, it is said that he came from Yuanshan, in the name of Tiangang and Earth, the leader of a scarred face, the name is unknown, only known as Ah Xun, General Su will send these people to check before every act, Shu County, Lingnan, Mayi, and this time in the Western Regions, there are the shadows of these people." ”

"Are there really just over a hundred?"

Su Kai nodded and said: "The minister has already found out, it is said that Tiangang and Disha are named according to the stars in the sky, Tiangang is thirty-six, and Disha is seventy-two, a total of one hundred and eight people!" ”

"What else?"

"Win Guangji is the remnant of the previous dynasty, once wanted to kill General Su, and then somehow united with General Su, now he is the god king on the plateau, ruling the plateau, thorns are also the remnants of the previous dynasty, and Win Guangji is in a similar situation, now he leads a group of horse thieves, about 30,000 people, these two people are now also in the Western Regions, I heard that they have become the largest armed force in the Western Regions, even the Huns dare not underestimate! The last time the army entered Mayi from the north to encircle the Xiongnu Shan Yu, it was this thorn that opened up the passage for the army! ”

Liu Che nodded slightly, touching the beard that had just grown on his chin and thinking. There was silence in the Xuanshu Palace, there was no sound of breathing, everyone was quiet, the emperor was thinking, who dared to squeak? As the emperor of the empire, he cannot fail to consider the loyalty and background of the person he wants to use.
