Chapter 294: Five Ways Out

"Gaihou Wang Xin is His Majesty's maternal uncle, and his qualifications as a lieutenant in the Northern Army are completely sufficient, even more reliable than you, the future of the Five Roads. ⊙”

Cao Shi consciously woke him up, Wei Qing's temper is kind and good, his character is tenacious, he is proficient in the art of war and has seen the suffering of the Han army at the grassroots level, in addition to being a little overwhelmed by praise and losing his eyes, he is a perfect embryo of a famous general, but the embryo of a famous general is always just an embryo, and there is still a long way to go down in history from the famous general.

Wei Qing did not have the experience of being a second person, it was very dangerous to become a cavalry general at the age of sixteen, which was equivalent to pinning the lives of more than 10,000 people on the young man who had no hair on his mouth and did not do things firmly, although the young man had a good performance in the battle of Yanmen to the battle of Yinshan was convincing, but his prestige and influence were absolutely poor and could not be compensated for with outstanding performance.

"You know what? At the beginning, the Son of Heaven also asked me to write a letter to recommend the identity of the five-way general, I recommended Li Ji as the commander of the army, you only need to be a cavalry lieutenant to be very satisfied, Your Majesty did not adopt my suggestion, directly promoted you to the identity of the general, it can be seen that Your Majesty's proposal to me will never be adopted, I recommend to Your Majesty to be a cavalry captain, Your Majesty really co-opted you as the commander of the army, it can be seen that Your Majesty's attitude towards me has gradually changed. ”

Liu Che likes to write to Cao Shi, for example, the quality of the excavation ditch and the waterwheel, Cao Shi is very honest to analyze that the artificial canal is different from the natural river, which requires a huge amount of engineering to dig out the dirt channel and insist on dredging every year, the reason is that the artificial river channel competes for the water resources of the original river, resulting in the slow flow of the river, on the other hand, the soil riverbed is far less stable than the natural stone riverbed, and the slow flow of the river water in the channel is easy to be deposited and blocked by mud siltation.

Cao Shi wrote very seriously. The analysis was also the first to say that Dao Ke did not accept it, but instead ordered the south of Chang'an to build a channel parallel to the Wei River to supply shipping. The battle ahead is not clear, and the Jianzhang Palace has not yet been built and the channel needs to be repaired. Dou Ying, the prime minister, resolutely pushed back, and the general Cao Shi had no chance to speak at all, but stayed in Longxi County to continue to recover, and transferred 20,000 households from Guanzhong to live in Longxi County close to his limit.

Wei Qing was very embarrassed, on one side was the eldest brother-in-law Cao Shi, and on the other side was the third brother-in-law Liu Che, and the two were close friends who talked about everything. Suddenly became a familiar stranger, the relationship between the two became very stiff, and after suffering a loss, both of them were unwilling to go to the banquet again, both of them knew that the other party's attitude was very stiff, but no one took the initiative to change the willingness of the relationship, on the one hand, the idea of softening the attitude of both parties was not strong, and on the other hand, the self-esteem made the two have no room for mutual compromise.

"Go back and tell your sister. Tell her I'm safe. ”

The public opinion of the government and the opposition sending troops to fight against the Xiongnu is very hot, and the hottest topic is that the Xiongnu defeated the old enemy Xianbei Wuhuan to dominate the grassland desert, and the general direction of the Han-Hungarian war is being hyped inside and outside Chang'an, but this has nothing to do with Longxi County. Cao Shi only wanted to get more people from Guanzhong, and the addition of 20,000 households in Guanzhong was just to recover the losses of the war, and there was still a long way to go before Longxi County reached 80,000 households.

Spring. The willow tree sprouts by the bridge.

The earliest Taixue students were studying swordsmanship, and they were about to leave Taixue in four months. In addition to the final exam, you need to do hard research, professional essay reports, and the level of grades. In the end, it is necessary to find a suitable job and continue to stay, compared to the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of other academies, the military academy is as serious as a brick, quiet as a stone, and stubborn as a smashed stone.

Students of the military academy can only be soldiers after graduation, otherwise there is no professional mouth to choose technical soldiers as non-commissioned officers, this kind of people only occupy less than two-tenths of the military academy, most of them are in the mountains and seas as soon as it gets dark, Julio, and the drama letter used to be a person who likes to chat, but the scalp of the recent exam is numb and there is no time to chat.

"Hey, I said that you all heard it, the imperial court intends to send the five-way army to crusade against the Xiongnu, and recruit volunteers to join the army to attack the Xiongnu in the north."

"It's very convenient to prove yourself with someone else's head, and I wonder how many people will die in vain in a strange land." He Shan's head was not analyzed, and he could sit quietly and wait for the battle to come to an end.

Shusun Qin had a different opinion, he felt that the plan of the Fifth Route Army was very good, the five people charged north to the Xiongnu royal court, and only needed a victory to break the Huns' will to fight: "So I think Your Majesty's plan is very good, and it only needs to fight well to have a miraculous effect." ”

"Foolishness! You think that no matter how powerful the army is, you are wrong, it is better to cut off one of its five fingers than to hurt its five fingers, and the merger of the Five Route Army is a force that cannot be underestimated, and appearing alone in the grassland desert is like looking for death. Chun retorted.

"You are talking nonsense, the Huns are not so powerful, and the battle of Yanmen and the battle of Yinshan are ironclad facts."

"Then you also have to invite the general of the cavalry to fight, you let a group of generals with a strange combination of generals play the record of the general of the cavalry, I think it's like a pipe dream."

The drama letter is actually very supportive of Shusun Qin, he also thinks that the effect of the five roads and 10,000 cavalry sweeping the Monan grassland is outstanding, and when he saw such a terrifying comparison, he immediately changed his tone and emphasized caution, and going wild in the hinterland of the Huns was like the Huns running to Hedong County and Henan County to kill people everywhere and set fire to it, and it is said that if you run slowly, you will be caught and killed, and if you go to the front, there is no chance of victory at all.

"Forget it, there is no need to quarrel, I think Shuofang County can be used as a support point, entering and exiting the Xiongnu is inseparable from the control of Yinshan, Yunzhong County can stand on its heels, isn't it the support of the Eilechuan and rivers and lakes, losing Yinshan is equivalent to abolishing the main living space of the grassland desert tribes, and Shuofang County is the main force for expanding the support point."

The students discussed that Shuofang County was a new border county established by the imperial court, and its geographical location and living environment were far less than half of any county in Guanzhong, but Shuofang County controlled the Hetao Plain and guarded Henan to protect the Weihe Plain south of the Loess Plateau, as well as the haunting Chang'an City.

At the same time, Sun Xian, the Taishou Gong of Shuofang County, sat haggard for a while, he had to go to see the high-quality grass seed called alfalfa every day, and he needed to cut a few stubbles of pasture grass every year as reserve fodder for winter.

After a moment of pen and cervical spine, Sun Xianyang, the Taishou Gong of Shuofang County, wrote down tens of thousands of words, until he wrote down the words "62,300 households, with a total population of 324,723 people", an increase of 12,000 households and a population of almost 90,000 compared to Longxi County before the disaster, so he would not care that this system was a record of Cao Shi using his own means.

"320,000 people is the current limit population, and the general did not lie to me, blindly increasing the population will quickly deteriorate the cultivated land, pollute the water source and worsen the living environment of the pasture." Gongsun Xian hesitated to put away the pen, and after writing the sparse music, he sealed it with fire paint and sent it to the Weiyang Palace in Beijing. He was still thinking about the position of Shuofang County in the Han-Hungarian War.

"Is it my delusion? I always feel unsure. Gongsun Xian muttered to himself.

Cao Shi's sparse performance was sent to Weiyang Palace, and the moment the Son of Heaven opened and read, he removed Li Ji from the list of speakers, and by eliminating more than a dozen candidates who had no obvious status, and finally put the target at the end of the Gaihou Wangxin, the Son of Heaven smiled and made a decision on the spot, appointing Gaihou Wangxin as a major general, and the five generals jointly crusaded against the Xiongnu hinterland Dragon City.

On the seventh day of the second month, 50,000 recruits of the Northern Army crossed the Wei River in a fast boat transporting troops, and they were full of spirit and proud, and they were qualified to inherit the fine traditions of the Northern Army last year, and almost every soldier of the Northern Army was very proud, and they felt that there was no enemy in the world who was their opponent, and even if they had not really encountered the Xiongnu army, it did not affect their ancestors' impulse to inherit the dragon of contempt for their ancestors.

"Captain, the auspicious time has arrived!"

Tian Wei woke up from his false sleep and immediately ordered: "The whole army should send troops!" ”

The 50,000 cavalry left Chang'an City in high spirits, and the Son of Heaven stopped on the south bank of the Wei River to watch the 50,000 heroic divisions gradually leave, and turned around and asked: "What does the prime minister think about the victory rate for this?" ”

"At most thirty percent, at least one percent, the minister thinks it's okay to compromise and give twenty percent."

"Humph!"

Liu Chedi turned his head and his expression was very unpleasant, he didn't like Dou Yinggeng's brainless character the most, every time he was angry, the more he said something not very good, and occasionally when he was in a bad state, he would say some encouraging words, the Five Roads Expedition to the Huns was his carefully prepared plan, aimed at cultivating five cronies and generals who were loyal to the emperor.

The purpose of training is nothing more than to seize military power, especially when Cao Shi, the general of the chariot cavalry, easily holds the military power of 15,000 forest cavalry and 8,000 heavy cavalry alone, and there is not much room for him to continue to rise in the imperial court, so the Son of Heaven has no intention of forcibly depriving or transferring the general after several considerations, so he temporarily tolerates the special right of the chariot cavalry general to lead the troops.

But this kind of tolerance will not last long, Liu Che's ambition is constantly stirring, he always wants to master the 23,000 cavalry carefully cultivated by the Che Cai general, the five-way crusade against the Xiongnu is only part of the plan, the emperor will use the edict to constantly mobilize the Che Cai general, so that he and the Right Xian King in Longxi are tired of running for useless work, and then use the victory of the Five Route Army to suppress the prestige of the Che Cai general, and then play a role in depriving the military power without being fiercely opposed and criticized by the government and the opposition.

Cao Shi's prestige is so high that it is nothing more than brought about by victory after victory, if one day he can no longer achieve military exploits and victories, the dazzling halo that once shrouded his head will gradually disappear.

The Son of Heaven made up his mind to completely convince the general Cao Shi, but at this time he ran into a stubborn Dou Ying, Liu Che was itchy and wanted to abolish him immediately, but considering the political balance that was finally established, the deep-rooted contradictions between the two groups of relatives and favors need to be guaranteed by the balance of the superstructure.

Liu Che decided to endure it for the time being. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
