Chapter 233: The Northern Expedition
"What? Huns, you say it again! Han Jin's eyes widened, and he stepped forward and grabbed the spying by the collar with an incredulous expression.
The spy swallowed with difficulty, and had to repeat what he had just said.
Han Jin muttered to himself a few times, and suddenly his face changed, and he said in a cold voice: "Yide, Zilong, Meng Qi, you and the other three obey the order, quickly lead the army out of the city to stop the Huns, don't let them harass the people, remember not to accept the capture and kill, I don't want to hear a Hun escape from Chang'an."
The three of them responded in unison, stepped on their horses and flew away. Looking at the backs of the three of them gradually leaving, the corners of Han Jin's mouth twitched, revealing a sneer, the Huns were originally looking for trouble with you, but I didn't expect you to send them to the door instead. It's good to give Ben a chance to send troops to destroy you, and the world's plan will start with exterminating you!
Originally, in Han Jin's heart, after getting rid of the uneasy elements in Chang'an, he had the intention of sending troops to the fortress, he knew that in the next few years or decades, because of the war in the Central Plains, the Han nation suffered an unprecedented crisis, with the continuous decline of the population, the Huns, Qiang, Xianbei and other foreign races took advantage of the situation, and as a result, after the Sima family unified the Three Kingdoms, there was a tragedy of Wuhu chaos, but now, with his own existence, how can he continue to stage it?
He quickly turned around and walked towards the palace, Wang Yue and Dian Wei glanced at each other, their eyes showed puzzlement, but they didn't ask anything and just followed each other closely, they were the best guards, and they knew how to be silent at the right time.
At this time, Lu Bu had already led the remnants of the soldiers to his door, and to his surprise, Han Jin did not let Li Su besiege his mansion, but just looked at the heavily surrounded army, and Lu Bu's eyes obviously showed a solemn look.
He knew that he had just killed Wang Yue with a hard blow, and although he injured the other party, he also shocked his own abdomen. After all this time of fighting, the injuries were already faintly painful, and he knew that his time was running out, but it was his family who was trapped inside, where his wife and his beloved daughter were located. Even if he knew that there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he had to break through.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "You guys are still too late to regret it. β
He didn't point out who it was in his words, but the three thousand armor soldiers behind him all knew that their lord was talking about him, and they all looked solemn, "In this life, I will follow my lord all over the world, and I will die without regrets." β
Lu Bu smiled faintly and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, I can have such a brother swearing to die with me in this life, what regrets do I Lu Bu have!
He slowly raised Fang Tian's halberd and was about to order a charge, but at this moment, suddenly a sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a team of cavalry ran from the opposite side, and the first person was Li Su, who arrived before the sound arrived: "Wen Hou and slow!" A certain family was ordered by the lord to come to return the Wenhou family! β
Lu Bu was immediately stunned, Han Xiuyuan and I are mortal enemies, how could he let go of my family so easily? There must be fraud!
Li Su saw that Lu Bu had doubts, and laughed loudly, "Feng Xianxiu should be more worried, my lord ordered that although he and Feng Xian had a dispute, it would not hurt his family, he respected Feng Xian is a generation of heroes, and asked a certain escort Feng Xian's family out of the city." β
Only then did Lu Bu realize that Han Xiuyuan was really a masterpiece! As he spoke, he saw several carriages coming, and the first horizontal gun was immediately Hou Cheng, and he saw Lu Bu from a distance and was overjoyed, "Lord, a certain escort lady and miss, please make a decision." β
Lu Bu was overjoyed, and before he could speak, he heard a crisp voice coming: "But Daddy?"
Listening to the voice is her daughter Lu Qiling.
"Since the Wen Hou family has been delivered, please take care of Wen Hou, and a certain family will go!" Li Su clasped his fists and saluted, patted his horse and left.
When the fighting in Chang'an City stopped, Han Jin was sitting in the General's Mansion listening to the report of his subordinates, and several major strategists next to him were all present. After hearing the news that Lu Bu was out of the city, Guo Jia first asked: "Why did the lord let go of that violent tiger, wouldn't this person have another big enemy when the lord left?" β
Han Jin smiled and turned his head to look, only to see several people next to him looking at him, with doubts in their eyes, and said at the moment: "Fengxiao, what do you think Lu Bu is like?" β
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment and said: "Lu Bu's surname is capricious, but in terms of tactics, he has the essence of cavalry. If you are a general, you will be invincible on the battlefield, and if you are handsome, you will be exiled to the world and die without a place to be buried. β
Han Jin nodded and said: "Feng Xiao is right, Lu Bu is exactly like this, but this person has lost several times under the general, and he will definitely be afraid of the general, not to mention that he will send his family today, with the general's understanding of him, this person will definitely go to the Central Plains and disturb the situation in the Central Plains, now Cao Ying has gathered 100,000 troops, eyeing Xuzhou, Yuan Shao has Hebei Fujia world, Yuan Shu occupies Huainan, and this will have to be guarded."
Jia Xu groaned slightly and said, "What does the lord mean...... Let Lu Bu disturb the Central Plains. It's just that the lord is not afraid that Lu Bu will be subdued by others? β
Han Jin laughed and said, "This great god can't be stored in this temple, so who in this world dares to take in Lu Bu."
Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "What the lord said is very true, Lu Bu is by no means a person who can live under the people, the lord let the tiger go down the mountain this time, just to lie down in the troubled waters of the Central Plains, although we can't control the situation in the Central Plains, but let Lu Bu stir it up, let Cao Ying and others also mess up." β
Han Jin nodded, the main reason why he let Lu Bu go was because he knew that in history, after Lu Bu escaped from Chang'an, he first went to Bingzhou to publicize it, and then fled to the Central Plains. Of course, there is another point, he is not willing to let history deviate too much, so as to buy himself some time. Another reason is Zhang Liao, compared to Lu Bu, Han Jin values Zhang Liao more, and for the sake of the original agreement, selling a favor to Zhang Liao will make him more loyal to himself.
"Lord, how could the Huns come to make trouble at this time?" After a while, Li Ru asked everyone about their doubts.
Han Jin shook his head and said: "The general doesn't know either, but since they dare to come, the general will not be polite, let them come and go, it just so happens that this time, the general will sort out these barbarians in the rear, so as not to cause chaos in the future." β
The lord wants to go on a northern expedition? Everyone was shocked, they actually knew Han Jin's plan for a long time, but they didn't expect Han Jin to advance the Northern Expedition so quickly. Han Jin secretly understood their thoughts, and couldn't help laughing: "Why, now there are not many people in the court who oppose the general, and the rest can't afford to make many waves, at this time the Central Plains is chaotic, Yuan Shao and Cao Ying can't pull out their own hands, it is a good opportunity for the general, is it possible that there is no food and grass?" β
Important shook his head and said, "Lord, grain and grass are not a problem, but when does the lord plan to go out of battle?" β
Han Jin shook his head and said, "This time, Ben will not go out in person, do you really forget, there are still a few military god-level figures in this court, how can Ben let the voluntary waste?" β
Guo Jia's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "Does the lord plan to let Huangfu Song come out of the battle, I'm afraid he may not be willing!" β
Han Jin said: "Of course he didn't listen to what the general said, but what the emperor said, he will definitely listen, Zhicai, you will summon Huangfu Li over in a while and let him serve as the deputy commander of the guard." β
Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up and nodded.
When it was said, Chang'an was in turmoil, Lu Bu rebelled and killed Situ Wang Yun and hit several ministers in the court, and then took advantage of the chaos to kill, and the second said that above the court, Han Jin had just finished talking about the situation, and there was an uproar in Tang, and Emperor Xian was also stunned on the spot. Originally, he held on to hope last night, hoping that Wang Yun would make a contribution in one fell swoop, but for this reason, he didn't fall asleep last night, and turned the queen over and over again and ruined it three or four times. Today, I still come to the court with great interest. But when he saw Han Jin going to court intact, he knew that his nightmare had come again, and the greater the so-called hope, the greater the disappointment. When he really heard Han Jin say that Wang Yun was dead, he didn't even have a trace of grief.
"Your Majesty, the traitor Lu Bu killed Lord Wang, and went out of Chang'an, the minister is incompetent, and he did not protect Lord Wang and others, please condemn Your Majesty!" Han Jin's voice resounded in the main hall, and Emperor Xian's color changed instantly, and then he smiled and said: "Han Aiqing, this happened too suddenly, and I didn't expect it, and I can't blame Han Aiqing, it's just that Lu Bu is so bold and reckless, the general must catch this thief and avenge Lord Wang!" β
Han Jin bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is happy to get married, the minister shouldn't be bothering Your Majesty, it's just a major matter in the court, and the stakes are so important that you can't delay." The minister thought at night last night, my Han is now falling apart, the central government is all lost, the national skills are lost, and the foreign enemy is eyeing the enemy, so the minister asks Your Majesty, please send a general to guard the northern Xinjiang to calm the people! β
Emperor Xian frowned, what kind of conspiracy did this son have, but he had just made an army to Han Jin, and now that he had failed, Han Jin didn't care about his previous suspicions, pretending not to know, he didn't dare to provoke Han Jin casually here, and said with a smile: "The general's forehead means ......"
Han Jin said: "The minister recommended General Huangfu Song as a general, with 100,000 troops, to guard the northern frontier, and in time, to destroy the Huns and break Xianbei, so as to defend the land of our Han Dynasty and the safety of the people." As soon as Han Jin's words fell, the court suddenly buzzed, no one had Liao Han Jin at this moment will propose the Northern Expedition, you must know that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, how many years, the court is weak, and the foreign race has always held a respectful and distant attitude, the foreign race is respectful to the Han on the surface, in fact, it is different from the outside, which can be seen from the fact that they often disturb the Han frontier, and the Huns invaded Chang'an, proving that the Huns also began to be restless, in fact, the Han civil strife, the happiest are these Huns and Xianbei people.
Huangfu Song didn't expect that Han Jin would propose that he lead the troops out of the battle, and he looked at Han Jin in a daze for a while, but he didn't know what to say. In the past year, he has basically lost hope of being in charge of the army here, but he still hopes to return to the battlefield in his heart, after all, it is a man's dream to fight on the battlefield. Although Huangfu Song was over 50 years old, as a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he still had a strong interest in the matter of taking charge of the army.
"The general is really willing to let the old man go out to the northern frontier?" Everyone could hear that Huang Fu Song's words trembled slightly.
Han Jin smiled bitterly and said: "The talent of the old general, rare in the world, throughout the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, only the old general and the old general Lu have this prestige, but it is a pity that Lord Lu has another great use, so he can only trouble the old general, I hope the old general will think about my Han Dynasty for the sake of the country, and work hard to reorganize the prestige of the past." Let those who have different intentions know that those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away! Of course, at this time, the consent of the saint is still required, and the old general is willing. β
Han Jin looked at the emperor after speaking, his face was full of smiles, but anyone could see that the emperor had to agree to it, and if he didn't agree, he had to agree, yesterday it was said that the anti-Korean group headed by Wang Yun had been wiped out by Han Jin, and hundreds of ministers in the court and China were all in danger, and they were all worried about their nicknames, and they could still take care of the loyalty of the country or something.
Emperor Xian nodded as expected, anyway, now you are in charge of the court, you have the final say, and he also understands that in this and now, if there is not a good opportunity, it is better to be a puppet emperor, at least he can be safe, otherwise he will anger Han Jin, and it will only be himself who suffers.
"Your Majesty, in addition, the minister is going to build the Taixue and Military Academy to cultivate talents for my Han Dynasty for thousands of generations."
"Taixue, Military Academy?" Baiguan, you look at me, I look at you, they are all a little stunned, they know too much, but they don't know much about this military academy.
Han Jin smiled slightly: "The two universities built by the minister are different from the past, Taixue recruits students from all walks of life in the world, regardless of literacy or not, as long as the age is within a low limit, they can study, the minister will hire famous people from all over the world to give lectures in the college, and set up a dean, and the minister recommends Cai Shilang to serve as the director." β
Han Jin paused for a moment and saw that no one objected, and smiled in his heart, knowing that the killing of Wang Yun and cutting off Lu Bu this time had already had the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, and continued: "As for the military academy, it is mainly to train generals in the army, so that more talents can serve the Han Dynasty, where you can not only learn martial arts, but also learn the art of war, as long as you have the talent to move to that and are interested in learning, you can participate." β
In fact, the idea of opening his own military academy had already been born in Han Jin's heart, but he had neither the power nor the financial resources before, the most important thing was that he did not have talents on hand, but now that he put it forward, he can not only raise his prestige, attract talents, and further weaken the influence of the people on the Liu family.
Emperor Xian did not expect Han Jin, and there was no objection to the construction of Taixue, but he raised objections to the military academy, "General, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter, since ancient times, such a thing has never happened, the general is the general of the imperial court, if any small number of people know the art of war, then the world will have to be messed up?" β
Han Jin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that this matter is relatively new, but Your Majesty, please think about it, now that my Han River is withering, we need talents from all walks of life to help the world and the people, as long as Your Majesty uses people properly, these people will become the pillars of the country, defend the country, and promote their prestige." β
Emperor Xian sighed secretly, although this person is not as high-flying and domineering as Dong Zhuo, but if it comes to the destruction of the imperial court, it is even worse.
"Since the general has decided, let's do it like this, if it's okay, let's retreat!" Emperor Xian will go away after speaking, the court can't find the majesty of a man, just go to the queen to find it, thinking of the appearance of the bride, Emperor Xian's heart was shocked, and his steps couldn't help but speed up a lot.
got what he wanted, Han Jin was overjoyed, and as soon as he went down to the court, he was surrounded by Huangfu Song, Cai Yi and others.
"General, do you really want the old man to go on a northern expedition?"
"General, you Zhen Aojian, this military academy is ...... with Taixue" For a while, Han Jin's side was noisy. Han Jin waved his hand and said, "My lords, this is not the place to talk, if you have time, how about going to the general's mansion to talk?" β
Everyone readily agreed, and when they returned to the house, Han Jin asked people to serve tea, and then they talked.
"Lord Huangfu, the expedition to Xianbei, that is the top priority, the general naturally did not dare to be negligent, the general originally wanted to go out in person, but the court and China are entangled in everything, and they really can't leave, the old general's courage, prestige, and talent are all first-class, and he deserves to be the great task of the Northern Expedition."
Huangfu Song smiled bitterly, he knew that he was being used by Han Jin, but he was not a pedantic person, the power of the DPRK and China was all in the hands of Han Jin, since Han Jin let him go, she had no choice, not to mention that yesterday his son also entered the guards, that is, proton. However, he was cautious and asked about the worries in his heart.
"The general wants the old man to go on a northern expedition, I don't know how many armor soldiers the old man will bring, and how many generals will he have?"
Han Jin smiled and said: "This general has recently trained a few large armies, and I can take the old general to see it in a while, I believe that the old general will not be disappointed, as for the general, this general is subordinate, how about letting the old general choose?" β
Huangfu Song was overjoyed, he didn't expect Han Jin to be so generous, in this way, Han Jin obviously gave him a chance to leave his name in the annals of history, you must know that no matter how great a general's merits are, but only by exalting his prestige outside the Saiwai can he really go down in history.
For a while, his beard was shaken up with excitement, and he grabbed Han Jin's hand and said, "The general supports the old man so much, and the old man will not let the general down." β
Han Jin smiled slightly and said, "Old general, in order to be foolproof, Ben will send Wen You to help you at that time, and he will also ask someone who is familiar with Saiwai to lead the way for the old general." Of course, the old general should not misunderstand, he will shoot Wen You in the past, and he has no other intentions, just one person is short, two people are long, and the march is a battle, Wen You may not be of much help, but he can still be useful in planning. β
Huangfu Song's heart was shocked, and then he smiled: "The general has filtered, Lord Li's talent is famous all over the world, with Lord Li's help, the old man has more confidence." β
Lu Zhi on the side looked at Huangfu Song's smug face, and he was envious in his heart. Han Jin said with a smile: "Lord Lu, please come over this time, there is another thing to ask the adults to help, this general will build a military academy, and the general will consider himself the principal, but he is busy with court affairs and cannot manage the college, therefore, this military school, I also ask Lord Lu to work hard, and hire Lord Lu as the dean, I don't know what Lord Lu is doing?" β
Lu Zhi was overjoyed and hurriedly received the order, other people in this military academy may not know the role, but he knows it, thinking that in a few years, the army will be his protΓ©gΓ©, how can he not be happy?
