One day, Zhang Chang talked to another robber. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoUnlike others, this robber is known as the big brother of Chang'an. The so-called thief captures the king first, Zhang Chang decided to take him first! It is said to be a conversation, but it is actually an interrogation. At the beginning of the conversation, the two sides were more polite, talking and talking, and suddenly saw Zhang Chang patting the case and shouting, "Don't talk to Lao Tzu, how many bad things have you done, you must explain them one by one today"

Zhang Changmeng drank it, and the robber was stunned at once. At this time, Zhang Chang eased his breath and said, "My policy has always been to be frank and lenient, and to resist strictly. If you explain the facts clearly, you can atone for the crime, and you can write off what you have done before" Finally, the robber leader agreed to plead guilty. But he made a small request: let him go to the government department as a petty official...

Anyone familiar with the brief history of the development of banditry knows what this trick is called. The technical term is bleaching, and the saying is that it is called changing the vest. I have seen people who stretch out their hands to ask for officials. However, the most sinful robbers dared to ask the judge for an official position, and this was the first time in the history of the Han Dynasty...

This is not the strangest thing, the strangest thing is: Zhang Chang agreed! Soon, Zhang Chang sealed the robber big brother an official position. Then Big Brother held a big banquet and invited all the thieves of Chang'an to drink to celebrate the success of the boss's upgrade. The celebration was a success, and the robbers were full of wine and food, and said goodbye one by one. When they walked out of the banquet door, they were immediately stupid!

They found that Lord Jing Zhaoyin had been waiting for them at the door for a long time! Zhang Chang changed his politeness in the past, and came out to grab one by one, and two to catch a pair. In one day, hundreds of people were arrested without much effort!

Only then did the robbers suddenly wake up: it turned out that the boss's victory was fake, and the celebration meeting was also fake. The boss and Master Zhang Chang joined hands to catch them all, this is their real purpose! High, really high!

Zhang Chang won hundreds of thieves in Chang'an in one fell swoop, and since then he has gained a firm foothold at the feet of the world and laid a solid foundation...

Regarding Liu Xun's superstitious auspiciousness and burning money to seek immortals, Zhang Chang also has something to say. He went up to the top to admonish him, saying that the monks were cunning and should not be trusted. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty dismissed the Fangshi.

This time, the work idea of Yiqu Anguo is: to sow discord among the Qiang people, pull what should be pulled, fight what should be beaten, and disintegrate as much as possible. But he treated the Qiang people equally, and they were all tough. As a result, he messed things up again!

The process is roughly as follows: Yiqu Anguo brought 2,000 men and horses to Qiangzhong. Then he summoned more than 30 chiefs of the Xianling tribe to drink. During the banquet, Yiqu Anguo suddenly arrested several angry chieftains and cut them down. Then, he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the first zero tribe to launch an attack, killing more than a thousand people...

Is there anyone in the world who does this kind of ideological work? Now, Qiang Min's opinion is big! They believe that their entry into Huangzhong was approved by Yiqu Anguo, and there is nothing illegal about it. But as soon as Yiqu Anguo came, he didn't explain his words clearly, so he slashed and killed excessively, which is really unkind... As a result, whether it is the chieftains who have surrendered or those who have not surrendered, they are all pulled together by an inexplicable centripetal force!

Soon, Yang Yu, the leader of the Xianling tribe, who had been named the Marquis of Guiyi by the Han Dynasty, united all the tribes and rebelled collectively to launch an attack on Yiqu Anguo. Yiqu Anguo was defeated and retreated to Lingju, and at the same time urgently reported to the central government, asking for help...

After Liu Xun received the urgent report, he immediately ordered Imperial Doctor Bingji to quickly go to Zhao Chongguo and ask him to recommend a person who could lead the army to the west.

Strange, isn't Zhao Chongguo quite capable of fighting? Why didn't Liu Xun directly send Zhao Chongguo up? Of course, Liu Xun knew that Zhao Chongguo could fight, but he really didn't worry about Zhao Chongguo going to the battlefield. Because Zhao Chongguo is 77 years old this year. So old, can you still fight?

Whether you can fight or not, it's not up to Liu Xun to have the final say, Zhao Chongguo has to say! When Bingji asked Zhao Chongguo if there was any good candidate, Zhao Chongguo said, "There is a person, very suitable" Bingji asked "Who are you talking about" Zhao Chongguo replied very calmly, "That person, the name is Zhao Chongguo"

Bingji's eyes are green: You? If you can fight, the emperor will send me to ask you why? But Bingji didn't say anything, and went back to tell Liu Xun, "Zhao Chongguo recommended himself to the battlefield, what do you do?"

After hearing this, Liu Xun couldn't cry or laugh, and said to Bingji, "Please go again, and ask General Zhao: why he is the most suitable." If I let him go on the expedition, how many troops will he need" So, Bingji ran again. Soon, Bingji replied to Liu Xun, "General Zhao said: Anyway, he is the most suitable." Leave things to him and give you absolute peace of mind. As for the number of troops to send, it depends on the actual situation."

Liu Xun smiled after hearing this. After laughing, Liu Xun said boldly, "Okay." Then let General Zhao go."

In April, Zhao Chongguo was worshiped as the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army and set off with a large army. In June, he arrived in Geumseong-gun. Soon more than 10,000 cavalry were gathered and prepared to cross the Yellow River westward!

Zhao Chongguo has three major advantages in fighting: first, he dares to fight and rush, and is not afraid of death; the second is to be familiar with the art of war and use it freely; Third, the idea is strict and unbreakable. Zhao Chongguo believes that if the river is crossed hastily, there may be an ambush on the opposite side. So, Zhao Chongguo ordered the three battalions of men and horses to be the forwards, and the horses were in the mouth, and they smuggled across the Yellow River at night. Then set up camp on the other side. After that, Zhao Chongguo led the army to follow. In just one night, more than 10,000 cavalry crossed the Yellow River...

However, at dawn, Zhao Chongguo found that something was wrong - someone was peeping! Dozens of Xiqiang scouts were active near Zhao Chongguo's garrison. His subordinates asked Zhao Chongguo for instructions on whether to launch an attack? But Zhao Chongguo said, "No one is allowed to move without my order" Zhao Chongguo is steady, he thinks: The Han army has just crossed the river and is tired. If he attacks rashly, the enemy will be at ease and will be disadvantaged. Also: The reason why the Xiqiang scouts are so arrogant and dare to run near the Han army camp is that there may be an ambush behind them...

In fact, the Qiang people have scouts, and Zhao Chongguo also has scouts! At this time, the Han scouts came back and reported: There was no Qiang army guarding the Siwangxia in front. Zhao Chongguo was overjoyed when he heard it, "I knew that the Qiang people didn't understand military affairs, and sure enough, it turned out that the Han army wanted to drive from Jincheng County to Huangzhong, and it had to pass through Siwang Gorge in the middle. Siwang Gorge is a narrow strip of land, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the Qiang people set up an ambush or guard here, Zhao Chongguo wanted to drive forward to find the Qiang tribe, but there was no door!

Zhao Chongguo decided to act at night. So the Han army hurried by night and crossed the Siwang Gorge. The next day, he appeared in Luodu. Then continue to advance westward, reaching the Western Governor's Mansion. This is where the Western Militia Headquarters under the jurisdiction of Jincheng County is located. The Han army was stationed here, and Zhao Chongguo ordered the food manager to cook good food for the soldiers every day, "Although you eat and drink well, just don't move" The Qiang soldiers attacked the Han army several times, and the Han army could not come out.

It's strange, Zhao Chongguo is a lot old, and he came from afar, but the enemy was in front of him but pretended not to see it. What trick does he want to play?

In fact, Zhao Chongguo first had to wait for the main force of the Han army in the interior to arrive, so as to have a decisive battle with Xiqiang; On the other hand, he wants to play a yin one: the discord meter! Zhao Chongguo believes that the Xiqiang tribal alliance looks like a god and is the most suitable for using a discord meter. If you use it well, you can solve the problem once and for all!

Before Yang Yu, the chief of the Xianling tribe, rebelled, someone came to the Western Governor's Mansion to inform: Diaoku, the younger brother of the chief of the Han tribe, Mi Dang'er! What I didn't expect was that as soon as the Western Governor's Mansion heard that Yang Yu was going to make peace with Mi Danger and form an alliance to rebel together, he took the carving library down as a hostage!

Zhao Chongguo believes that if you want to dismantle the Xiqiang tribal alliance, you must start with the unjust big head carving library. So, Zhao Chongguo released the carving library and asked him to go back to propagandize: The Han Dynasty army only killed the rebels, and advised everyone not to bring about their own destruction. If there is a guilty meritorious service, there will be a lot of benefits...

However, plans don't always keep up with changes. At this time, the 60,000 Han troops had been assembled. However, Zhao Chongguo suddenly received a letter from Chang'an. The book was handed over by Liu Xun, but the author was an old acquaintance of Zhao Chongguo - Xin Wuxian, the Taishou of Jiuquan County!

Before the Xiqiang rebellion, Zhao Chongguo suggested that the emperor send an envoy who was familiar with the Qiang people to go deep into the Qiang to pacify and reconnoiter the Qiang. The person he recommended was Xin Wuxian. However, Wei Xiang and Bingji strongly recommended Yiqu Anguo. Liu Xun agreed to send Yiqu Anguo, but things became more and more chaotic, and it became what it is today...

Xin Wuxian also had his own set of plans for quelling the Qiang rebellion, so he wrote to Liu Xun to state his views. And the reason why Liu Xun handed over Xin Wuxian's recital was to seek Zhao Chongguo's opinion. The reason why it was solicited was because Xin Wuxian's plan to quell the chaos was very different from Zhao Chongguo's previous plan.

Xin Wuxian's opinion is: This battle cannot be delayed for too long. If you have to wait until autumn and winter to fight, the north is cold and frozen, and the war horses of the Han Dynasty can't bear it. Therefore, it is recommended to move the battle time to early July in the summer, carry 30 days of grain and grass, and set off from Zhangye County and Jiuquan County respectively, first launch a round of attacks on the Han tribe, and then another round against the Xianling tribe in winter, when they will definitely be scared first...

Xin Wuxian's plan looks beautiful. However, in Zhao Chongguo's view, the problem is very big. So he urgently wrote to Liu Xun and refuted Xin Wuxian: First of all, the war horse will not be able to run fast if it carries 30 days of grain and grass on its back. Slow movement will alert the enemy and cause them to flee. If the Han army penetrates deep into the Qiang region, if the enemy cuts off the back route, the Han army may be completely annihilated; Secondly, the first tribe to rebel was the Xian Zero tribe, and the other tribes rebelled under the lure and threat of the first zero. The so-called capture of the thief first captures the king, defeats the first zero, and the other tribes will naturally collapse. If you avoid zero and don't fight, but choose a rare knife, the other tribes will definitely panic. This can only promote the unity of the Qiang tribal alliance...

After Liu Xun received Zhao Chongguo's recital, he ordered the ministers to assemble. Unexpectedly, the ministers unanimously stood on Xin Wuxian's side. Think: first fight the Han tribe, and then fight the first zero tribe. And hit right away, don't delay any longer!

As a result, Liu Xun appointed Xu Yanshou as the general of the crossbow and Xin Wuxian as the general of the Qiang. In July, troops were dispatched. At the same time, Liu Xun sent another letter to Zhao Chongguo. In the book, he changed his usual polite tone, and severely rebuked Zhao Chongguo with words: "As a rear general, you led more than 10,000 cavalry and traveled thousands of miles, but you did not move, and you had to wait until winter to do so." Don't you know: when the enemy has enough food and grass, the Han army will not be able to withstand the freezing? Isn't it a waste of the country's money that you drag the mud and water like this? Now that I have ordered the two generals Xu and Xin to leave, you should cooperate with them in attacking the Han tribe, and there will be no more excuses."

Zhao Chongguo must wait until the autumn and winter to do it, Xin Wuxian doesn't understand, and Liu Xun doesn't understand either. There is only one explainable reason when you think about it: Zhao Chongguo is old and tends to be conservative. But on the battlefield, being conservative is equal to being afraid of death, so you might as well go home and retire...

Zhao Chongguo played Liu Xun again and re-explained his true intentions: the rebellion was led by the Xian Ling tribe, and the Han tribe has always been more regular. That's why I released the carving library and asked him to go back to promote our policies in order to play the role of dismantling the Qiang people's alliance. Is it right to take a knife against the Han tribe and make the Qiang people alliance more and more united? So I insisted on fighting the Zero tribe first. As long as the first zero is taken, the other tribes will definitely take the initiative to surrender. As for why I chose to start a war in winter, it was because in summer, the opponent's war horses were fat and the grain was abundant, and it was not suitable to attack them... To sum up: 1 war in winter; 2. The first to fight the first zero tribe is the most suitable. If you get rid of the first zero tribe, the Han tribe is still disobedient, wait until the first month of next spring, and then clean them up!

On the 28th, Zhao Chongguo sent out the recital; On July 5, Liu Xun received. This time, his attitude changed, and he approved two words on Zhao Chongguo's recital: agree!

Facts have proved that Zhao Chongguo is right, and Liu Xun is also right to agree. After getting the emperor's approval, Zhao Chongguo led the cavalry to set off and pressed towards the Xianling tribe. When he heard that Zhao Chongguo had killed, he hurriedly dropped his baggage and ran away.

The generals were so excited that they wanted to chase after them. However, Zhao Chongguo waved his hand: "Don't chase after the poor." forced them to be anxious, they were going to turn around and bite people" Sure enough, the Han army did not chase after them, the faster the Qiang army collapsed! They tried to cross the river to escape for their lives, but the river was too narrow, and hundreds of people were unfortunately squeezed into the river and drowned. The Han army followed, killing more than 500 prisoners, more than 100,000 cattle, horses and sheep, and more than 4,000 chariots...
