The Battle of Mobei (Part II)
Wei Qing returned with a full load, and Huo Qu was not idle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Those generals in the Han Dynasty were all transferred away by Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing didn't even have a deputy general. So he could only temporarily use a group of lieutenants, including Li Guang's youngest son Li Kang. It is these people who have made great contributions to Huo Quai's illness.
Huo Qubing set out from Daijun, and the distance out of the fortress was twice that of Wei Qing, reaching more than 2,000 miles, and finally met the Xiongnu Zuoxian King. If he is reincarnated in the next life, King Zuo Xian will definitely not choose the same era as Huo Quai. To Huo Quzhi, he is like a prey to a hunting dog. Prey can never escape the fighting sense of smell of the hounds.
Huo Qu was sick and fought, and King Zuo Xian was defeated. In the end, Huo Qubing captured 3 kings including Tuntou and Han; There are 83 members of the two sets of senior civil and military teams, such as generals, Xiangguo, danghu, and governors. A total of 70,443 ordinary Huns were killed and captured. The high-spirited Huo Qubing returned to the dynasty after completing the three ceremonies in Wolf Juxu Mountain, Guyan Mountain Zen, and Hanhai.
Getting more than 70,000 people at once is a terrible upgrade statistic. Huo Qu's disease was successfully upgraded, and 5,800 households were sealed by Liu Che. Most of the other lieutenants who fought with Huo Qubing were also awarded the title of marquis: on June 10, Liu Che suddenly sealed 4 people: Fuli Hou Lu Bode, Zhuang Hou Fulu Branch, Zhongli Hou Yi Jixuan, and Yiyang Hou Weishan. There were also 3 Xiongnu kings who surrendered: Xiangcheng Marquis Chang Tuluo, Sanhou Dong Tuwu, and Zang Ma Hou Yannian. And there are already 2 people who are Hou: Zhao Ponu, Hou of the Ticket, and Hou Anji of Changwu, each of whom added 300 households. In the end, Li Dang was sealed off and had 200 households. Although there are not many food towns, Li Guang's lifelong wish has finally been fulfilled. It's just that Li Guang will never see this day again.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty counterattacked the Xiongnu, the last battle of the three major battles of Mobei, and Wei and Huo achieved great results. But the price to pay is also dearly. 140,000 official horses and private horses of the Han Dynasty went out of the jam, and less than 30,000 returned. There is no record of the number of 100,000 cavalry and hundreds of thousands of infantry who went out to return home, but the data on the loss of horses shows the heavy losses of the soldiers.
In order to commend Wei and Huo's great achievements, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty specially appointed the official position of the Great Sima, and ordered the general Wei Qing and the general Huo Qubing to serve as the Great Sima.
Liu Che once asked Huo Qu to learn the art of war from Sun and Wu. Huo Qubing replied casually, "For generals, you have to adapt to changes, why stick to the ancient art of war" Liu Che also asked people to build a luxurious mansion for Huo Quzhi, Huo Qubing thanked him and said, "The Huns have not been destroyed, there is no home" These eight words made Liu Che love him more, surpassing the general Wei Qing.
Huo Qubing went to return to the dynasty this time, and also went to Pingyang County, Hedong County, once to find his biological father Huo Zhongru. At this time, Huo Zhongru had already married another wife and had children, and the son he gave birth to was Huo Guang, who would be famous in the future. Huo Quai's illness bought a farm house for his father, so that he could enjoy his old age. On the one hand, he also took special care of this half-brother, and took Huo Guang to the capital Chang'an, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, to alternate Lang Guan, and to serve Liu Che.
War makes heroes, and heroes end wars. Huo Quzhi is like a mountaineer, and the mountains are high and man-made peaks. He surpassed himself again and again, and also surpassed Wei Qing. was originally Wei Qing's old man and the diners under his door, except for Ren An, they all switched to Huo Quai's door. Huo Qu's disease became the existence of a strong man...
But I still have to say: this is an imperfect hero. Although Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing's nephews and uncles are both illegitimate children, their life experiences and attitudes are very different.
Wei Qing tasted the warmth and coldness of the world in his early years. So he knows who is worth cherishing and who wants to be cherished. A special life has developed Wei Qing's special life creed, which is: high-profile work and low-key life. So no matter how many feats Wei Qing has established and how many food towns he has been awarded, he has never seen him arrogant. Whether facing a horse or a brick, he has always treated everyone equally. Ji Di is the most ruthless person who shoots bricks and bricks against Wei Qing. But how did Wei Qing deal with Ji Di? It's not hiding or retaliating, but committing to bow your head and ask Ji Di for advice. This is the real Wei Qing.
But what is the real Huo Qu disease? When Huo Qubing was born, the Wei family had already made a fortune. So Huo Qu didn't suffer much when he was a child. As a result, Huo Qu, who had no worries about food and clothing, and did not know the warmth and coldness of the world, still had the style of a noble son when he grew up. Wei Qing marched and fought, always sharing weal and woe with the soldiers. Huo Quzhi's style is the opposite, every time he comes back from a war, Huo Quai's soldiers always look hungry, and then run to turn over the lid of his logistics pot, you will find that there are still a lot of leftovers. I'd rather throw it out than give alms. This is the real Huo Qu's disease...
After the decisive battle of Mobei was fought, the history called "the Huns fled far away, and there was no royal court in the south of the curtain" Yizhi Xianshan Yu asked Zhao Xin again: What should we do now?
Zhao Xin pondered for a long time, and gave Yi Zhi a seemingly unreliable strategy: Harmony! At first glance, Zhao Xin's words sound not only funny, but also ridiculous. We know: want to be close? That's for capital! Why did Liu Che work desperately to do the Huns? That's because the Huns used to bully people too much. Since Mao Dun, Lao Shang, and the military ministers until the current Yi Zhi is slanted in Danyu, it has been nearly a hundred years. Today, it was hard to play this victory scene, and you suddenly said that you want to make peace with Liu Che? Let's go with the ghosts!
Therefore, how to argue and kiss the plan is all a fool's dream. However, in Zhao Xin's view, harmony is not impossible. The reason why Zhao Xin was confident was because he saw a weakness in the Han Dynasty. That is: although Liu Che is working overtime to send people to the border, he will take the opportunity to develop the frontier. But it was impossible to sweep away the remnants of the Xiongnu on a large scale. Because Liu Che lacks one thing: horses!
In the Battle of Mobei, 140,000 war horses of the Han Dynasty came out, and less than 30,000 came back. If another 140,000 horses are scraped together in a short time, is it possible? Since the Han Dynasty lacked the tools to attack, why didn't he take the initiative to make peace when he was tired now?
The strategy that originally looked like a joke, after Zhao Xin's analysis, not only is it not ridiculous, but it really seems to be like it. Yi Zhi Xian Shan Yu also knows that this plan may not be successful, but it is still worth trying. So he immediately sent an envoy to the Han Dynasty, and said kind words to Liu Che, and finally replied shyly that we wanted to make peace...
Liu Che immediately convened a meeting to discuss the Xiongnu's initiative to make peace. The atmosphere at the meeting was very warm, and there was a strong smell of gunpowder in the warmth. Some say that they can kiss; Some say it's a fart, they've been fighting for so many years, is it in vain? Feud. If you want to be hard, you will be hard to the end!
Among those who advocate discord is a prime minister's office governor named Ren Chang, who is an out-and-out hawk. He said to the emperor: "The Xiongnu are now beaten to the point that they can't do it, so they take the initiative to say peace." I think: we should take the opportunity to let him surrender to our Han Dynasty and worship", of course Liu Che likes to hear this. So he decided to send Ren Chang to envoy the Xiongnu to negotiate with Yi Zhi Xiandanyu.
In fact, the Han Dynasty hawks, including Liu Che, made the mistake of blind optimism. When Yi Zhi Xian Shan Yu heard that the Han Dynasty was going to recognize him as his junior brother, instead of being polite, he jumped up and scolded Liu Che. After scolding, he still didn't get rid of his hatred, so he detained Ren Chang!
Don't think that if you win, you want to recognize me as your little brother. We'll see!
The prime minister's long history was detained, which was a bit unexpected for Liu Che. So Liu Che convened a meeting to discuss this matter. Of course, the scene was still full of saliva and gunpowder. At this time, a person from the Heqin faction stood up: Doctor Guan Di Shan.
As soon as Di Shan came up, he gave full play to the scholar's gushing specialty and said a big truth, which can be summed up in only one: in the past, Emperor Wenjing was friendly to the Xiongnu, and the life of the people in the world was very nourishing. Now His Majesty has done his best to beat the Huns to the point of crying wolves, and the benefits have not been much, but the well-off days of the people in the world are gone forever. So I think war is not a good thing, but it's still okay to be close.
When Liu Che heard this, his face darkened. Turning his head and asking Doctor Yu Shi Zhang Tang, "Do you think what the doctor said makes sense?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Tang immediately replied "This foolish and ignorant" Confucianism is a scholar. A fool is a stupid reader. Together, they are not only stupid, but also ignorant. It is not easy for a scholar to become a saint; It's not easy to mix up as a stupid and ignorant person. Zhang Tang's words completely rejected what Dr. Di had learned in his life.
Zhang Tang hurt people so much that Di Shan was shocked on the spot. There is no difference between the scolding of the reader and the scolding of the old aunt in the neighborhood, but there is still a slight difference in the rhetoric. Di Shan retorted to Zhang Tang like this: "You are right, I am stupid, but at least I am stupid; You're smart, but you're clearly loyal! Don't think I'm slandering you, you Zhang Tang ruled the king of Huainan and the king of Jiangdu, dividing the royal family and making everyone in the world endanger. This has fully demonstrated that you are a deceitful loyal"
In fact, including Ji Di, who was not at the scene, Zhang Tang's political enemies, no one thought that Zhang Tang was indeed an authentic deceitful loyal. But Dr. Di is the only one who dares to spit out the word deception.
Anger is the devil. Di Shan was addicted, but he attracted disaster. Because Liu Che was angry.
Liu Che's anger was not because of the word loyalty, but because Di Shan should not involve the affairs of King Huainan and others. It was a scar on Liu Che, and it hurt faintly when I thought about it. Thanks to you doctor, what a fool who doesn't know the times!
At this time, Liu Che suddenly asked Di Shan inexplicably, "If I send you as a county guard, do you have a way to deal with the Xiongnu and prevent them from invading" Dr. Di was stunned, and he didn't know why Liu Che asked this question. However, he had no choice but to answer "no"
Liu Che asked again, "So, what about sending you as a county magistrate" Dr. Di was stunned again, and had to answer "No"
Liu Che asked again, "So, what if you are sent to guard a pavilion barrier bunker" Liu Che asked at this point, and the cold murderous aura had already hit his face. At this moment, Dr. Di suddenly woke up like from a dream. He finally saw it clearly: Liu Che was trying to force him to death! In the end, Di Shan had no choice but to answer "yes"
Yes, more than not, only one word less. In fact, there was no essential difference in the results, except for the slight difference: Di Shan lived more than a month as a result. Liu Che really sent him to the border to guard a bunker. A month later, the Huns attacked, cut off his head, and walked away...
The death of Dr. Di shocked the Chang'an Manchu Dynasty. If you want to live a few more days, you can't mess with Zhang Tang; If you want to mess with Zhang Tang, you are ready to wash your neck and wait for someone to cut it off. I think: This should be the consensus of the gangsters in Chang'an on Zhang Tang.
Fear is a human instinct for self-preservation; To be feared is to be satisfied with the pleasure of exercising the power of life and death in your hands. In my opinion, Zhang Tang's weakness is not to be loyal, but to be too strong and too feared! In the end, he died on the word "feared"!
In the words of the rivers and lakes, Zhang Tang is a master of martial arts, and he relied on Liu Che's peerless martial arts to run rampant and domineering in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty, which has aroused public anger. So everyone agreed: Since Zhang Tang can't be defeated alone, then everyone will join forces to fight against him! If God wants to destroy a man, he must first make him mad. Zhang Tang is already crazy. First of all, he planned the salt and iron law with Sang Hongyang, smashed the jobs of private mine owners and salt merchants, and broke the dream of these rich people; Secondly, in the center, there are few friends to be seen, but enemies are everywhere. From the local area to the capital, no one hates this Zhang Tang. I even suspect that anyone may break into Zhang's mansion and smash his whole family in a dream...
And this year, another political enemy of Zhang Tang: Ji Di's life is also very difficult. Since the last time the evil king surrendered, Ji Yang said something detrimental to national unity, and his image basically collapsed in the emperor's heart. That's it. What I didn't expect was: I don't know what trouble his old man caused again, although it was a small trouble, he was still dismissed. Liu Che sent two local county guards to Beijing to take over the position of Ji Huang, both of whom were famous cool officials in Han history: Dingxiang County Taishou Yizong as the Right Neishi, and Hanoi County Taishou Wang Wen Shu as a lieutenant.
They were known for their cool politics in their respective counties, but Liu Che heard the report that these two men were capable ministers, so he promoted them to the rank of 12 high-ranking officials of the central government of Zhong 2,000 stones.
This year, Liu Che killed a Qi priest named Shaoweng. Following Li Shaojun, who was 'dissected into an immortal' more than ten years ago, Shaoweng is another hope for Liu Che to become an immortal. At that time, Liu Che's favorite concubine and beloved son Liu Hong's biological mother, Mrs. Wang, died of illness, and Liu Che remembered it. The young man told Liu Che that he could do a way to let the ghosts of the emperor and Madame Wang meet at night. Liu Che was overjoyed and ordered him to do it, and Guo and Mrs. Wang saw in the curtain (the ghost knows what was going on) that the young man was favored, and was named General Wencheng, and was rewarded a lot, and he was courteous. Specially responsible for seeking immortals for the emperor.
The young man asked Liu Che to build a platform in the Ganquan Palace, and painted many strange fairy idols, and Liu Che did so one by one. It's just that for more than a year, I haven't seen the gods coming. Liu Che was also suspicious unconsciously. One day, he came to the Ganquan Palace to interrogate the young man. The young man was also prepared. At this time, a man suddenly led a cow to walk by, and the young man instructed the emperor to say, "This cow has a strange book given to you by the gods in its belly", and Liu Che ordered the cow to be taken down and slaughtered on the spot. Cut open the belly of the cow, there is a silk book, and the words on it are strange. It's just that Liu Che looked at it again and again, and suddenly found that the handwriting on it was actually Shaoweng's own handwriting. He also took down the person who was taking the ox down and interrogated it, but it turned out to be a forgery. Only then did Liu Che order the execution of this Wencheng general.
