Chapter 430: The Hero of Governing the Country, the Hero of the Troubled Country
PS: There is another chapter in the evening, it will be late
On the second day, after the battle of the snowfield, seeing that Qi reinforcements were coming, Zhao Ying did not pursue, but collected the dead and wounded and escorted the prisoners. Zhao Bing's battalion moved to Qinyi, and with them came five or six thousand Qi prisoners, now densely packed, enclosed in a simple wooden fence, with only a puffen on top to protect them from the wind and snow.
The Qin Yi doctor of the Lu State was completely frightened by the victory of the Zhao family, he kneeled in the snow to greet him, called him "the secretary of the great country", and personally took care of it, vacating the Yi Temple for Zhao Ying, and bent his waist to the extreme. But Zhao Ying refused to live in a warm hall, and chose to share weal and woe with the soldiers outside.
At this moment, in the big tent that has begun to take shape, Zhao Ying presided over a banquet to reward the retainers and tiger ben, the tiger will show the wound in the center of the big tent, and every time a new scar is counted, Zhao Ying will give a glass of wine, which is the night tiger will be drunk. After that, the Zhao father and son chatted about the war, and were regretting the escape of Qi Hou, but Yang Hu, who was sitting in the banquet, suddenly said a word.
Yang Hu, who had hastily regained his former spirit after a hasty grooming, shook his dark beard and wiped off the wine juice on it, and his voice was loud: "Yang Hu thinks that it is better to let Qi Hou escape in this battle than to capture him." ”
Yang Hu talked eloquently, and the retainers of the Zhao family, who originally pricked up their ears to hear how this Lu and Qi traitor wanted to deceive the lord, couldn't help but be stunned, and then reprimanded: "What is the reason? “
For some reason, Fu Suo was very hostile to Yang Hu at the beginning, and when he saw him say this, he only felt that it was a drunken remark to sensationalize, so he sneered and sarcastically said: "Yangzi is really in Zhao Ying, but his body is in Qi." Are you still rejoicing for Qi Hou now? “
This remark was heart-wrenching, and even Zhao Ying frowned and swept away. "Ahem......" The shirtless man on Zhao Ying's left seat coughed lightly. stopped their rebukes.
Fu Sue's words were a little too much, and Yang Hu's performance today was in Zhao Wuxian's eyes. This guy has the merit of leading the way, and he has killed the enemy bravely. Boarding Zhao Ying's dangerous car to subdue the horse and the horse, which was considered meritorious, was appreciated by Zhao Ying, not only invited him to inspect the camp with the car, but also let him participate in the feast. Although according to merit and position, sit in the center position.
Zhao Ying also waved his hand and asked on his own, "Why do you say this?" Generals, the courage of an army. The monarch is the courage of a country. If we can capture the Marquis of Qi alive, we will not only be able to win the war in front of us, but also be able to coerce the Marquis of Qi back to the country and dedicate it to the Qi Palace, so that the king can see the immortal merits of my Zhao family, and use this as a threat to make the Qi people surrender, cut the land, and make amends. Alliance. Tell me, what's the downside? ”
Seeing that Zhao Ying didn't think so, Yang Hu got up and said, "These are all benefits to the Jin Kingdom, not the Zhao family." What's more, the Chinese military has already got to the point. To make immortal achievements, this is exactly what the Zhao family needs to taboo. ”
Zhao Ying was stunned: "Why?" "Defeat in the field and make a name for the clan. And then to gain greater power at home, which is what he longed for in this war.
"Because the extremes of things must be opposed."
The shadow of the difficulty of the lower palace has never been far away from the Zhao family masters of the past dynasties. Zhao Ying's eyebrows jumped: "You can tell me carefully." ”
Yang Hu glanced at the Zhao family's retainers who were hostile to him in the big tent, and smiled without saying a word. Zhao Wuxian, who let him behave, know that his whereabouts, life and death, and even his future status within the Zhao family are all determined by what he says later.
"Although I am a Lu person, I have heard about the battle of Yanling, when the new army Zuo Akiko (but Zhi) was brilliant in learning, resourceful and decisive, and resolute. He single-handedly persuaded Zhuqing to fight with Chu, and pointed out before the war that the two secretaries of Chu were evil to each other, Chu was old, Zheng was untidy, and the attached barbarian soldiers were disorderly, each taking care of the latter, and there was no fighting spirit. During the war, he approached the king of Chu three times and took the limelight. After the war, when he went to Cheng Zhou, he boasted that the battle of Yanling was entirely his own credit...... At that time, the husband Bahe, the five doctors, the three kings, his rich half of the office, his family half of the three armies, but the family was prosperous, and it was famous in the Jin State and even among the princes, but what was the result? “
Zhao Ying's mouth was a little dry, and he was naturally clear about that period of history: "But the Di clan is too powerful and prominent, which has provoked the jealousy of the monarch and even the princes." So Jin Li Gong and Luan's family, Zhongxing clan wiped out together, but Zhaozi's body was in the court, and his sect was destroyed in Jiang, yesterday's glory was wiped out, and even the Fengyi Wendi became the territory of the Zhao family, and Mo Zhiwai also. "However, this time, the relationship between the Zhao family and the secretaries of the Jin State, especially the Zhi family, Fan, and the Bank of China, is not good, and any move will affect the situation. Xiao Sikou's exploits in sweeping the southern land of Wei Guo Pu are enough to make people look sideways, but this is occupied in the name of the three kingdoms of Jin, Lu, and Cao to punish Wei Hou, and it is justifiable. And it is still far from the Jin Kingdom Xinjiang, and it can't touch the interests of Zhuqing, although they are envious, it will not cause much action. ”
Subsequently, the Chinese army lured 40,000 Qi troops south, and consumed, killed, and captured more than 10,000 people before and after, so that the Qi people lost their troops in the snowfield. This battle is enough to shock Zhuqing. But defeating the Qi people is also beneficial to their generation, so it will only make them jealous of the Zhao family, and they will not dare to offend easily, and even let the doctor who rides the wall consider meeting the strong. ”
Zhao Ying and Zhao Wuxian glanced at each other and said, "Yes." ”
"But if it's like what Zhongjun Zuo thought, capture the Marquis of Qi alive, escort him back to China, and let Jin Jun and Zhuqing observe the might of the Zhao family's battle, don't you want them to meet each other on their knees like Doctor Qin Yi? This is a deliberate attempt to stimulate Zhu Qing for the sake of false fame, and the Xinjiang court will be shocked at that time: the Zhao clan only used one-third of the clan soldiers, plus the strength of Xilu, to be able to defeat the main force of Qi and capture the king of a great country, which will make the Marquis of Jin and Zhu Qing feel that the power of the Zhao clan is too strong. ”
"If I were replaced, I would definitely think, if the Zhao family can capture the Marquis of Qi today, will they capture Fan Jiji, Zhongxingyin, and even Yu Zhibo and the Marquis of Jin tomorrow? Tiger is afraid that when the time comes, these families will unite against the Zhao family, just as they once attacked Zhaozi. Capturing the Marquis of Qi can force him to cede the land at most, and the Zhao family headquarters has no border with the Qi State, and in the end it will only be cheaper for Fan and Zhongxing. As soon as the external enemy is gone, civil strife will arise, and the Zhao family can now prepare a strategy to deal with it? In short, this matter is not beneficial to the Zhao family, but harmful. “
After all, Yang Hu has crawled in the political arena of Lu State, and he knows the most about the jealousy of these noble ministers. He used these mentalities to take charge of the Lu State back then, and was overthrown by Zhao Wuxian using the same thing. How can you not learn your lesson?
No matter what Yang Hu had done before, these words were indeed analyzed from Zhao's standpoint. So Zhao Wuxian also stood up and agreed: "However, it's too much. “
Zhao Ying listened to the persuasion and felt that this was reasonable, and he no longer regretted that he could not capture Qi Hou alive.
As Yang Hu said, the Zhao family is still only the second secretary of a country, if it is too public, it will far overshadow the limelight of the ruling and the monarch, but it is not beautiful. After the first battle, it has left a deep impression on the Qi army, which was starved and frozen in the wind and snow for seven or eight days. At least for a year, the Marquis of Qi will not be able to raise troops again, and with Gongzi Yangsheng in his hands, the threat of the Qi people to Xilu has been greatly reduced. "In that case, it is inconvenient for us to pursue with thousands of prisoners, so let Qi Hou go. Then let people quickly screen them, select the scholars and doctors among them to be isolated and imprisoned, and strengthen the defense of Qinyi. Save the Qi people to fight back, as for the south......"
The Zhao clan has won the northern front, but the uncleaned guards in the south are still resisting, and there is no positive return according to the post. After defeating the Cao army, the cunning Wang Sun Jia led his troops to try to march east to attack the Zhao clan with the Qi people, but at this time he received the news that the Qi Marquis had withdrawn and returned north, so he cautiously gave up his baggage. ran back to Puyang and shrank back, just to avoid the five thousand elite soldiers who were not righteous.
Wei Guo lost several towns in Punan. But 20,000 guards were equivalent to an armed march on both sides of the river, and the losses did not exceed 1,000 people. Therefore, now we are not fighting or falling, and we are still observing the situation.
Although the people of Qi were defeated, they did not hurt their bones, especially Yiyi was still in their hands, firmly holding the initiative in the war. Chen Qi repelled the Zhongxing clan's move to cross the river, he was indifferent to the life and death of Qi Hou, and seemed to have handed it over to his son, and Zhao Wuxian's victory in the south did not affect the situation in Yiyi.
And the Zhao clan, although they won a big victory at a small cost of 1,000 casualties, their troops were still insufficient. The falling wind and snow did not distinguish between the Qi and Jin people, and they were equally killed, the wounded covered with chilblains crowded the camp tents, and the fence for the prisoners was also closed, and various diseases liked to pick the barracks with concentrated populations to break out, but fortunately, Bian Que was taking his disciples to treat them.
Zhao Bing needs to rest at the moment, as for after the rest......
"The Qi people have been scared by us, and now it is better to defend the north and attack the south, and defend the country in a strategic way, until we have to force the guards to surrender!"
……
After everyone retreated, Zhao Ying let Fu Suo, the head of the advisers around him, and Zhao Wuxian stay. "What do you think, Yang Hu? Can I use it? “
Fang Cai Yang Hu's discussion, Zhao Ying was extremely appreciative, and he had the intention of using this person. Zhao Wuxian glanced at Fu Suo, bowed politely, and asked him to speak first.
So Fu Su asserted: "Although Yang Hu is talented, this person cannot be kept, it is better to kill him!" ”
"Why?"
"The subordinate is not jealous of the virtuous, but Yang Hu can not be trusted, he once said, the lord is virtuous, and he is careful to do things; If you don't do it, you will try it as a traitor. Whether it is serving the Ji clan and wanting to kill Ji Sunsi, or fleeing to the Marquis of Qi and taking the opportunity to betray Dongguo Shu by asking for peace, this is the case. In short, the tiger is good at stealing people's national politics, if the king uses it, I am afraid that he will not be able to easily accept his heart, and the Zhao family will suffer from it......
He gritted his teeth and said: "If you add credit in vain, if you don't get rid of his tail, I'm afraid you will be another Zhongmu Buddha!" “
Buddha is the Zhao family's Zhongmu Zai, but after becoming a town guard, he took refuge in Handan Wu, which left Zhongmu, as if he had become a subordinate of Handan, with a vast city, a population of tens of thousands, and two thousand soldiers. The Zhao clan was constrained by Zhi, Fan, and Zhongxing, and Zhongmu did not explicitly plot rebellion, so there was no chance to use force to settle this town east of Taihang, so it has been delayed until now.
This is something that makes Zhao Ying not very happy, Fu Suo's words are to remind him that Yang Hu, like Buddha, is a talented and unvirtuous person, and he takes betraying the master as his own responsibility, even if he kills it, it is better than appointing him.
Zhao Ying hesitated, and his gaze turned to Zhao Wuxian: "Wuxian, you have been fighting with Yang Hu for a long time, and now although you have reconciled, you are still the person who knows him best, what do you think?" “
Zhao Wuxian thought for a while, as if he was considering the words, and finally he smiled and said: "Tiger, the hero of governing the country, the hero of the troubled country!" (To be continued......)
