The end of the war begins again
Of the four great generals of the Han Dynasty, I must introduce one person: Gongsun He. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause if you don't know Gongsun He, you don't know the foundation of this Han army!
Gongsun He, a native of Yiqu in the north, was the Nth generation immigrant of the Xiongnu. The history of the Gongsun family is only three generations. Gongsun He's grandfather, Gongsun Kunxi, was the Taishou of Longxi in the era of Emperor Jing, and participated in the pacification of the Wuchu Rebellion as a general, and was named the Marquis of Pingqu. As the son of a high-ranking cadre, Gongsun He became a knight when he was a child. As soon as he debuted, he immediately fell in love with Liu Che. When Liu Che was the crown prince, Gongsun He was a housekeeper under Liu Che. Liu Che became the emperor and promoted him to be a servant. Soon, Gongsun He married Wei Zifu's eldest sister Wei Junru and gave birth to a son, Gongsun Jingsheng... At this moment, it is difficult for Gongsun He to think about underdevelopment!
Except for Li Guang, the other three of the four generals were all young generals, and they had never confronted the Xiongnu head-on. Now we finally understand: the reason why Liu Che let Wei Qing and others fight is not just for the sake of relatives. He hopes to use his young courage to cultivate a group of backbone generals belonging to the Han Dynasty!
The lack of a good general in the Han Dynasty is the biggest pain that has been buried in the hearts of the people of the Han Dynasty since the era of the Empress Lu! The so-called great generals are all built up bit by bit by fighting hard to the death and using military merits. One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither. Now, the opportunity is in front of Wei Qing and others. Whether the future is bright or dark, you have to rely on your own strength!
In fact, strength alone cannot complete the transformation of an unknown junior into a general. You have to have a lot of luck! It is precisely among these four people that Wei Qing has the most strength and luck!
War is the same as fighting. Whoever has a hard fist and a big temper often wins half of the way. Moreover, a person who wants to fight but has never fought has the yearning and excitement for fighting, which is unimaginable for Li Guang, a battle-experienced person. We have reason to believe that Wei Qing came with the passion of fighting this time. He seems to prove to the whole world: the riding slave who was once bullied by his half-brother and the eldest princess Liu is not a coward! The best stage to show heroes is the battlefield. Let the battlefield witness it all!
It turns out that Wei Qing has the potential to fight. He led his troops like a madman, and when he saw the Hun cavalry, he chased and bitten. The Huns have seen barbarians and horizontal people, but they have never seen crazy people. In the face of Wei Qing's cavalry, they can only play their traditional specialties: if they can't fight, they can escape!
So, the Huns fled madly in front, and Wei Qing chased madly behind. This chase has been chased all the way to Dragon City, which is more than 1,300 kilometers away from Shanggu County! Dragon City, the famous castle of the Huns. Because the Xiongnu people worship the heavens in this place, the assembly of the departments, so it is called the Dragon City. It was located on the west bank of the Anhou River (present-day Orkhon River in the Mongolian People's Republic).
In this battle, the Huns were beheaded by the Weiqing cavalry, about 700 people! Seven hundred heads seemed like a small number to Wei Qing. However, for his brother in life and death, Gongsun Ao, this is a lot of money! Gongsun Ao lost badly, and more than 7,000 cavalry troops were completely annihilated by the Huns. Gongsun He was slightly better than Gongsun Ao, the brother of the Gongben family, and there were no losses in the army, but in vain, and he ran out of Saibai...
In fact, Gongsun Ao is not the worst, the worst loser is the famous Li Guang! Not only was the cavalry led by Li Guang completely wiped out by the Huns, but he himself was even captured alive... Now, the face is really lost!
Because among the four generals, only Li Guang had fought with the Huns, and they knew each other. The Huns also knew that Li Guang was difficult to deal with. Therefore, before the battle began, they made the most adequate preparations in advance for Li Guang who left Yanmen County. At the same time, the leader of the Huns also released words: You must defeat Li Guang and capture him alive to see me!
There is only one reason why the Huns can release such words: there are many people! Of course, war is not a group fight, and a large number of people does not necessarily mean that it will be won. But the probability of winning with more people is definitely higher than the probability of winning with fewer people. Especially when slashing each other face-to-face with knives in an open grassland, it is particularly important to have a large number of people...
So, this confrontation between Li Guang and the Huns, in a word: there are more people and fewer people. However, the reason why the Xiongnu leaders shouted to capture Li Guang alive was not all because they bullied Li Guang and had few people. It's that they confidently grasp Li Guangyi's Achilles' heel!
We know that Li Guang's name of "General Fei" is all based on his high art and courage. Back then, he dared to chase the Hun condor archers with a small detachment, and when he encountered the Hun army halfway, he repeatedly dared to flicker and scare the other party away... But now the Huns want to tell Li Guang: We can't be fooled by you in the same place for a second time! As long as you Li Guang dare to come, we will beat you and have no return!
Sure enough, the Xiongnu relied on their men and horses to become stronger, first disabled Li Guang's more than 10,000 cavalry troops, and then captured Li Guang alive.
For Li Guang, the adventurous nature is his strength. For the Huns, the adventurous mind was also Li Guang's weakness. It used to be: you dare to fool, I dare not release arrows. Now it is: if you dare to charge, I will dare to beat you to pieces! So Li Guang took the risk to charge, but he really rushed into other people's nets...
After Li Guang was captured by the Huns, he did not pretend to be cool or stupid, but pretended to be injured. The Huns put Li Guang, who pretended to be wounded, into a net pocket, and used two horses to leisurely prepare to pull him back to meet the leader. But what the Huns didn't expect was that they were fooled by Li Guang again!
Because Li Guang found out, he pretended to be injured, but the Huns were still on guard. So he suddenly came up with another plan: it is better to pretend to be dead! Sure enough, Li Guang pretended to be dead, the Huns were really deceived...
The leader has spoken: You must live, don't die... Now that the man is dead, he can only drag him back to make an errand. So the Huns relaxed their vigilance, and no one cared about this "dead Li Guang"
Li Guang was dragged for more than ten miles like this, opened his eyes and observed the surroundings, and found an excellent chance to escape. Next to him was a Hun soldier, straddling a good horse, carrying a good bow, and his expression was relaxed. God really opened his eyes and sent such a new recruit to take care of me Li Guang...
In an instant, Li Guangteng jumped up and swooped down on the Hun soldiers. The Hun soldiers were like ghosts during the day, and before they understood what was going on, they were grabbed by Li Guang and pushed to the ground! Seeing Li Guang come back from the dead and gallop wildly, all the Hun soldiers exclaimed, "Chase, General Fei is still alive"
Hundreds of Hun cavalry attacked like a pack of wolves, directly attacking Li Guang, a trapped beast. In fact, Li Guang's title of "Flying General" can withstand the test of pursuing soldiers. Because the Huns have the words of the leader, they should be captured alive, not dead. So they didn't dare to let go of the arrows. Now Li Guangke has taken a big advantage. Li Guang shot back at the Huns while running. Nearly one shot one, nearly two shot a pair. Arrows are not missing, arrows kill people.
Li Guang ran for dozens of miles, and finally threw off the pursuers. Then he saw his brothers who had been left behind. I had to pack up the remnants of the army by the way, return to Chang'an, and report the achievements to Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty...
Needless to say, what kind of fate awaits him. Sure enough, the four troops returned to Chang'an separately, and after listening to the report, Liu Che immediately pointed at Li Guangguang and shouted, "Take" Gongsun Ao was also taken at the same time.
If they lose, they will admit their guilt, and Liu Che has prepared a back road for them: beheading! But Li Guang and Gongsun Ao didn't die...
The reason is that they all used money to settle Liu Che. In the Han Dynasty, those who were convicted of a capital crime had three options: 1. to pay for the crime with their lives; 2. Take money to redeem your life; 3. Accept the palace punishment. Of the three, the middle one is the most humane. Money, you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it in death. Keep your life alive, don't be afraid that you won't be able to earn it...
But that's not a small amount of money! How much money can be ransomed? 600,000! 600,000 yuan is not a problem for Li Guang and Gongsun Ao. But for a later man who was also condemned to death, it was a big problem!
This person is Sima Qian, the author of the first historical record of the 24th history and the father of Chinese historiography! Li Ling, the grandson of Li Guang, was defeated and surrendered to the Xiongnu, and Sima Qian said a fair word for Li Ling, but he angered Liu Che and was thrown into death row, ready to be pulled out and beheaded. Sima Qian raised the whole family, smashed the pot and sold iron, but he couldn't make up this fateful 600,000 yuan...
are all officials, why are Li Guang and Gongsun Ao so rich, but you Sima Qian so poor? The reason is very simple: Li Guang's family is rich and Gongsun Ao has many friends, and these two people have some sponsors. But Sima Qian's job is to conduct historical research. Majors are not popular, and there are not many funds, and there is no door to be greedy for a few dollars. In the end, he could only accept the palace punishment...
Sima Qian is not afraid of death, the reason why he chose palace punishment is because he knows: there is one thing that is more important than the male root under his pants! That is the historical record praised by later generations as "the swan song of the historian and the rhymeless separation"! "Historical Records" is Sima Qian's most powerful weapon against Liu Che!
You can destroy my body, but you can never destroy my spirit and dreams. You want to make my life worse than death, but I will tell you: I will crush your will to power with my crippled flesh and noble fighting spirit!
In fact, Sima Qian won. Liu Che also won. Sima Qian created the "Historical Records", and Liu Che created a great historian and the father of Chinese historiography... That's it.
In this attack on the Xiongnu, Li Guang and Gongsun Ao both lost money, and it took 600,000 yuan to buy back a life, but they were demoted to concubines. Gongsun He does not earn or lose. Only one person earned it: Wei Qing was given the title of Marquis of Guan Nei with 700 Hun heads. Although this Guannei Hou is one level lower than the Liehou and has no income from food and eup, he is also a Hou after all...
Feng Hou is secondary, Wei Qing became famous because of this battle, and since then he has established his position in the army! What's even more rare is that Wei Qing's tail is not cocked. He is very low-key, easy-going and kind. At the same time, he is very good at doing a good job in various social relations. Whether it is a high-ranking scholar or a lowly soldier or a powerful person in the palace, no one does not give courtesy...
So, after finishing this fight with the Huns, Wei Qing's popularity index skyrocketed and he became the most popular person of the year...
Wei Qing made meritorious contributions, and his half-sister Wei Zifu made the first major contribution to Liu Che and the Han Dynasty this year! In BC129, after ten years of loneliness in the cold palace (this year is based on Liu Ju's birth year), Liu Che suddenly decided to investigate the harem and send some people to be laid off.
There are about two reasons for layoffs: first, new goods are on the market, and old goods must be taken off the shelves; The second is that the establishment of the harem is limited, and idlers cannot be raised. Wei Zifu is also on the list of those who have been sent away...
Wei Zifu cried. There is nothing to complain about, this is the fate of all the women in the harem. In that case, get ready to hit the road. So Wei Zifu found Liu Che, his face was full of tears, and he invited himself home.
Regarding the tears of beautiful women, many literati have left a lot of wonderful writings throughout the ages: pear blossoms bring rain, weak willows are sad and windy... and so on, all of them cry out of the extremely high realm of literary aesthetics. Liu Che is a Confucian scholar and has a deep literary foundation. We have reason to believe that at that moment, Wei Zifu's tears must have plucked a certain string in his heart. So, Liu Che didn't send Wei Zifu home.
Once in the spring breeze, Wei Zifu was blessed by misfortune, she was pregnant, and she was pampered. That night, Liu Che also had a dream in which Wei Zifu was standing next to several catalpa trees (Zi, pronounced Tongzi). Overnight, Wei Zifu, a singer, made all the women in the harem red! Therefore, at this moment, the 28-year-old Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, does not have a son! Of course, the most eye-catching person is the former queen Chen Ajiao...
The tears of a beautiful woman are the most terrible weapon in the world. If you add one more, I'm afraid it will be a woman's jealousy. Why is the harem always thin? I'm afraid it has a lot to do with women's jealousy. The market competition is cruel, and women all come up with the most ruthless tricks, among the flowers and butterflies, to seize the right to have sex with the emperor, and finally take off the crown of wealth and phoenix on the top of the pyramid. As the saying goes, a woman is a success. Survival of the fittest, Hongyan doesn't want to die, it's difficult...
So, what can Chen Ajiao do to deal with Wei Zifu? Giving birth to a child will definitely not give birth to Wei Zifu. That's what I said before: Chen Ajiao's daughter bought Fu, and asked Sima Xiangru, the first master of the Han Dynasty, to do "Changmen Fu". It's a pity that although this endowment is good, it can't save Liu Che's heart after all. However, Liu Che ordered: Chen Ajiao's diet will be allocated regularly by Yousi, and she must be free of loss for life.
Once the war is opened, it is like the wheel of history rolling forward, Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, can no longer give up, and the Xiongnu military minister Shan Yu is not willing to give up. So only half a year later, in the autumn, the Hun cavalry invaded the Han border again!
This time, the Huns came by provocation. Because they numbered only a few thousand. Robbery along the border has been successful. They rob like they are addicted to drugs, they rob and go, they come and rob again, and they come and go, and they come and rob, and they go again...
Among the many robbed areas of the Han Dynasty, Shuyuyang County was the worst. Of course, Liu Che can't sit idly by, and must send an army to garrison Yuyang County. And who will be sent? Liu Che immediately thought of one person: the declining Han Anguo!
