……
The first year of Chengtian, July 16.
Imperial City.
Luoyang, which has entered the rainy season, has a rare sunny day.
"Boom...... Boom ....... ”
A group of several horses traveled from far to near, and the journey was extremely hurried.
The cavalry guards guarding the portal, in order to prevent the other party from hurting the crowd coming and going, are trying to gather people to stop -
"Good News !!"
A loud shout, full of joy.
The bustling people instantly quieted down and gave way to stop.
The war horse galloped away, leaving only a word.
"Champion Hou swept the northwest, and there has been no chaos since then!!"
The crowd fell silent.
Then.
There was a lot of talk.
"Great Sui is at war? When? ”
Many people didn't even know that Wu Fan had set out to fight Yongliang, so they were naturally shocked by the sudden victory.
But.
Wu Fan's letter some time ago, although Yang Qi, the son of heaven, did not deliberately preach it, but there was also news from the Ministry of War.
Someone said: "Around the end of last month, His Majesty ordered the champion Hou to go to the northwest, don't you know?" ”
Someone said, "Yes, yes! I heard that the champion Hou brought less than 3,000 people! ”
Someone said, "That's true!" Ten days ago, 200,000 people in Baimaqiang, who were killed by the champion Hou, cried for their fathers and mothers, and even Han Qu, the king of Qiang, was captured! ”
The Sui people are martial, love victory, and are crazy about it.
Especially.
Wu Fan has always been the pride of Luoyang locals.
The masses had a heated discussion for a while. Running and telling each other constantly.
Ma Wu was in the dust, roaring all the way into the gate of heaven. The sin sergeant who accompanied him was stopped, but he jumped on his horse and whipped him. No stops.
Qianniuwei led Ma Wu to the imperial study and met Yang Kuan, the son of heaven.
The empire has always given great privileges to the messengers of victory......
For example: the sword goes to the temple.
Ma Wu did not take off his armor and stepped into the door like a rampage.
Clenching his fists and arching his hands, Ma Wu said loudly: "Champion Hou swept the northwest, and there has been no chaos since then!" ”
Yang Kuan, the son of heaven, had already learned about Ma Wu's victory, but when he really heard Ma Wu's own narration, he was still in a trance.
[Won? 】
[Really won? 】
Yang Qi was in a daze in disbelief.
Good for a while.
Yang Qi stabilized his mind and stepped forward to help Ma Wu up. He shouted, "Give me a seat!" Give tea! ”
Ma Wu saluted again: "Minister, captain of the sin barracks, Ma Wu!" Thank you for your reward! ”
Without waiting for Ma Wu to take a breath and replenish some water, Yang Qi urged impatiently: "You talk to me well, what's going on?" This...... This ......"
[Sweeping the Northwest? 】
[No more chaos? 】
Yang Qi is incredible.
Where did Ma Wu dare to disobey, and described in detail: "Hou Ye led us and others out of Luoyang, using the cover of the caravan to hide the sky and cross the sea. In the first battle, he attacked and burned the He Qiang tribe. Two thousand were beheaded and more than 10,000 were captured. In the second battle, Hou Ye and Gao Mingzhong killed more than 30 leaders of Baimaqiang and captured Han Qu, the king of Baimaqiang. Created chaos, beheaded more than 10,000, and defeated hundreds of thousands of white horses. World War III. Hou Ye used the white horse Qiang King Han Qu to convene the Qiang alliance in Shecai Mountain. Succeed in sowing discord. In the fourth battle, Hou Ye encountered Turkic soldiers and horses in Yumen. Behead two thousand, kill two thousand. In the five battles, Hou Ye's soldiers were out of thousands of Qiqi, and the Huangqiang tribe was caught off guard and beheaded 3,000. In the sixth battle, Hou Ye went to Ming'an and ordered the local garrison of 15,000 people to fight together, beheaded and burned tens of thousands of Qiang troops, and defeated more than 100,000 people. In the seven battles, Hou Ye united with 30,000 soldiers in Dunhuang, and successively broke Shen Diqiang, Qianren Qiang, prison sister Qiang, and hexagram Yangqiang, and beheaded 6,000. In the eight wars, Hou Ye crossed Yinchuan, walked the wasteland, and beheaded Zhong Qiang, Le Sister Qiang, Dang Qiang and Hanqiang with three thousand. In the ninth battle, Hou Ye and the border army of Xihai County encircled and suppressed more than 20 Qiang tribes such as Xian Lingqiang and Sister Gangqiang, and beheaded 36,000 ......"
Ma Wuji was as brief as possible, and still said a lot.
Yang Kui said three good words in a row, took a deep breath, and said: "Within one month, the nine battles will be annihilated...... Champion Hou, the gods descend to earth! ”
When he first ascended to the throne, Yang Kuan needed a victory to establish his own prestige, and he did not choose Yang Su, a hussar general who was old and serious, but chose Wu Fan, who was too young...... Wu Fan did not disappoint him, in fact, after Wu Fan broke the White Horse Qiang and captured Han Qu, Yang Kui's political goal had been achieved. But Wu Fan did much better than Yang Qi imagined, Wu Fan broke the bones of the Qiang people, broke the backbone of the Qiang people, and hollowed out the foundation of the Qiang people! As Ma Wu advertised, the Qiang Rebellion that plagued the empire for two hundred years, and even traced back to the Jin, Wei, and Han dynasties, may never happen!
Ma Wuhu took out a letter from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, Hou Ye is sparse!" ”
Huang De, the chief eunuch of the inner chamberlain, was about to check it, but Yang Kui stopped him.
Yang Kuan took the letter without doubt and tore open the wax seal to read it.
Yang Kuan's joy gradually disappeared, and his expression was iron-blue.
When Kankan broke out, Yang Kuan tried hard to hold back and asked, "When will Shouzheng arrive in Luoyang?" ”
Ma Wu said: "Hou Ye ordered his ministers to take the first step, and he himself will travel day and night, and he will almost arrive tomorrow morning." ”
Yang Kuan nodded and said, "The bounty is one hundred taels, one thousand taels of silver, and ten horses of cloth, go down and have a good rest!" ”
Ma Wudao: "Thank you!" ”
As soon as Ma Wu left, Yang Kuan threw the letter in his hand to the ground and roared: "Family! Family! Family! Moth! A swarm of moths! They actually colluded with the Turks! Damn it!!! ”
Huang De carefully picked up the song, glanced at it a few times, and his heart jerked.
Wu Fan's book only wrote one thing - impeachment of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang State, for collaborating with the enemy and treason and plotting against the enemy.
Huang De's eyes rolled and said, "Your Majesty!" Do you know how the Emperor would have reacted if he had been there? ”
In the end, he was well-informed and figured out his temperament, Huang De's words calmed down the hysterical Yang Kui.
Yang Kui asked in a stiff tone: "What will happen to the first emperor?" ”
Huang Demian said softly: "The first emperor will first visit Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Xiyue tonight, and tomorrow he will lead hundreds of officials out of the city for ten miles to welcome the champion Hou." Then, publicize the merits of the champion Hou in public and consolidate them, reward the champion Hou from the best and the best, and let the champion Hou deal with the Li family in Longxi......"
The gap in experience, regardless of whether Huang De is a eunuch or not, Yang Kuan is not as good as Huang De at his current age.
What is the most important thing as the Son of Heaven?
It is not majesty, it is not strength, it is not momentum, it is not open-mindedness......
Only balance!
Manipulate your courtiers and strike a balance!
Wu Fan is a sharp knife left by the first emperor to Yang Kuan, to deal with the external enemies of the empire and the internal enemies of the empire.
The external enemies are nothing more than Turkic, Tibetan, Hulu and other foreign races.
What about the inner enemy? It's nothing more than a family of scholars!
The family also understands this.
What Wu Fan did in the northwest, Huang Detong's small actions in private were very clear. He knew that once Wu Fan returned to the imperial capital, he would face overwhelming attacks from the family clan. Therefore, it is necessary to make them unable to open their mouths in advance when the family scholars did not speak. Let Wu Fan have a strong enough identity, and then let him go to the ring with the family clan.
After all, after following the former Emperor Guangdi for many years, Huang De's ability is extraordinary!
