Chapter 173: Politics
Yan Ming was lying on the stretcher, looking at Murong Gui who was kneeling on the side, his eyes flashing with uncertain light. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing this situation, Murong Gui kowtowed even more, and the current Murong Department, without the protection of the Han Dynasty, would be wiped out on the grassland.
"Do you know who he is?" Yan Ming pointed to Gongsun Ao and asked.
Although Murong Gui is old, he is not confused. Seeing Yan Ming pointing at Gongsun Ao and asking, he knew that Yan Ming hated him for tying up Gongsun Ao before.
"Little general, it's Murong Gui who is confused. Now Murong Gui is willing to die to apologize, and only asks the little general to protect the safety of the old and young women and children in Murong Ministry. Murong Gui said sincerely.
Seeing that Yan Ming was silent, he sighed, raised the scimitar in his hand and wiped it off his neck.
"Patriarch!" All the clansmen of the Murong tribe wailed, they wanted to stop Murong Gui, but when they thought that the patriarch committed suicide in order to give their clansmen a chance to live, they all hesitated.
Yan Ming glanced over, and Cheng Xin made a move.
The dagger in his hand slashed in front of Murong Gui's hilt. The sharp scimitar is disconnected from the hilt. Murong Gui's closed eyes opened, looking at Yan Ming, tears rolling down.
"I haven't promised you yet, why are you in a hurry to die?" Yan Ming said lightly: "I didn't want to spare you. For the sake of your people, you dare to sacrifice your own sake, and you have written down this sin first. ”
"Thank you, little general!" Murong Gui kowtowed again.
"Get up, the generals of the Great Han don't like to kowtow. In the future, I will take your people well, and I will apply for a place for you in the land of Dahan. However, he will be your master from now on. Yan Ming pointed to Gongsun Ao.
"Yes!" Murong returned to exert force.
Yan Ming was in pain all over, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to Murong Gui anymore. Let Murong Bu follow them back first, even if the mosquito is small, it is also meat.
This time, the Hu cavalry lieutenant army suffered nearly 500 casualties, and it was on the premise that there was no imperial order. Although he won a small victory, he still had to face the impeachment of the imperial historians after he went back. It's already a blessing to be able to make up for it.
The action of the Hu cavalry lieutenant army is extremely strong. The rapid marching exercise at Maolyeung-eup showed its effect at this moment. The army's preparation, checking, departure, everything is in order.
The dead and wounded soldiers had been turned into ashes and placed in the jars and jars that they had taken from the Murong Ministry. The name of the deceased is written on the outside of each one in carbon black, making it easy for the family to claim it.
The corpses of the Huns were piled up into a hill, poured with fire oil, set on fire, and were never questioned again.
Han Yan is very familiar with the terrain of the Xiongnu. Because he had been ordered to spy on the military situation of the Xiongnu, the command of the army was handed over to Han Yan at this time, and under his leadership, Yan Ming and they did not return from the southern foot of Qilian Mountain through Longxi. Instead, it completed a complete counterclockwise, interspersed with thousands of miles of fertile fields, from the middle of Helan Mountain and Yin Mountain, and shuttled back to Shuofang again.
It was this marching route that enabled the Hu cavalry lieutenants of the Han Dynasty to safely avoid the pursuers gathered by several Xiao Wangs in Monan.
Wang Dajian had been in Shuofang City for ten days, and although he was comfortable in these ten days, he was scared. After many days of training, the Hu Cavalry Captain Army was like a whole. Now that he is detached from this whole, he feels a kind of mental incompleteness.
So the grumpy Wang Dajian began to abuse the slaves who were about to be sold to the Han Dynasty.
When a large number of cavalry dressed as Han soldiers were found outside Shuofang City, Wang Dajian almost climbed to the top of the city with Shuofang Shou. Seeing the familiar military uniform of Captain Hu Qi, he was so excited that he almost cried.
When Shuo Fangshou welcomed Yan Ming and the others into the city, Yan Ming was already able to ride on the war horse again. His wounds have healed a lot. Although there are occasional labor pains, they are scabbed.
"The general said that he destroyed the two thousand cavalry of the little king of Dugal?" Shuo Fangshou asked with some disbelief. Because this was a height that Han Gaozu had never reached, he really couldn't believe that the little general in front of him had done it.
Even if this little general was Yan Hou, who was famous for his alchemy, he still couldn't believe it. After all, alchemy and fighting are two different things.
Yan Ming naturally won't take credit for this. For the first time, he still pushed it to Han Yan, saying that he was just throwing bricks and leading the way. But the more he was so low-key, the more Shuo Fang Shou didn't believe his humility.
Looking at those Huns who were tied up in a bunch, Shuo Fangshou's mood had never been better. He has been on the border for a long time, and has been sacked by the Huns more than once. It's more to see the Han women being trained by the Huns like this, driven like lambs. Now that we can see the Han people driving the Huns like animals, this kind of psychological satisfaction is beyond words.
"Today, Shuofang City is going to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the general." Shuo Fangshou said excitedly.
Yan Ming said with a smile: "Don't worry about picking up the wind and washing the dust, please help me take over the Murong Department first." When the emperor's order comes, find them a new place and settle down! ”
Only then did Shuo Fangshou discover that the Han army had brought back not only prisoners, but also a nearly complete tribe. And although the people in this tribe have been wandering, they all have extraordinary temperaments.
Shuo Fangshou's name is He Yi, and he is an extremely capable person.
He settled the lieutenant army of Hu Qi in an orderly manner, and also found a suitable place for Murong Gui and others. and sent a team of Shuo Fang's border troops, saying that they were protecting the Murong Ministry, but in fact they monitored and controlled the Murong Ministry.
After all, before the emperor's order came, no one could say what would happen.
The imperial order came soon, but it was not for Murong Ministry, but for Yan Ming and Han Yan.
The edict was very simple, there was no reward or punishment, but Yan Ming and Han Yan were asked to return to Chang'an with the captain of Hu Cai as soon as possible. Nothing else, said nothing.
The officers and men of the Hu Cavalry Captain Army were all very excited. Their victory this time is unique since the founding of the Han Dynasty. Such a victory is enough to go down in history.
Even Shuo Fangshou He Yi also regarded Hu Qi's lieutenant army as a hero. All of them were in a state of rejoicing. After the previous wave of slaves and the latter wave of slaves would meet, the Huns who had been questioned by Yan Ming heard that Dugal Xiaowang was captured alive by Yan Ming, and they couldn't help but kneel on the ground and mumble to themselves.
Because Yan Ming once told them that he wanted to catch Dugal. I didn't expect it to become a reality in just a few days. With the news of these Huns, within a few days, all the Huns knew Yan Ming's name, and they respected him like a ghost.
In this joyful world, only Yan Ming and Han Yan are very concerned. Although in the eyes of others, the two of them are equally happy and laughing. But when no one was around, the two brothers lowered their heads.
The situation of the Han Dynasty, they couldn't understand it better. Although Liu Che is the emperor, and the power is in the hands of the Empress Dowager Dou and Wang Huan. This was originally nothing, but both of them had some festivals with Wang Huan, which made them feel very annoyed.
Gongsun Ao noticed their attitude, patted his chest and said that he would strive for their due credit in front of the emperor.
Yan Ming just laughed at his second brother, who was brave and martial, and his vision was indeed average. Emperor Liu Che is a master of playing football, once his own merits and the queen mother have a conflict, I am afraid that it is more important to have a loving mother.
The affairs of the world are nothing more than legal principles and human feelings. China has never been a society governed by the rule of law. Human affection is sometimes above the law.
Yan Ming and Han Yan didn't care about their rewards and punishments, nor did they care what kind of reward the living could get. They are responsible for the warriors who followed them out of the fortress and died in a foreign land. The wives of these people's parents should be rewarded accordingly.
The two brothers even agreed that if there was no reward at all, they would take some of the money from their own coffers to buy houses and land for the families of the deceased.
Yan Ming has already thought about it, there are still a few buildings in Maolingyi, which are enough to accommodate the families of the victims, and then there will be a little bit of work on the account.
At this moment, Yan Ming finally understood why so many people in history won battles but did not get the corresponding treatment. Because in the face of real military exploits, there is still an ethereal veil, called politics.
