Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Northern Rebellion
"Xuanqian General Xue Rengui, Sili Lieutenant Yuan Shao, Jinan Prime Minister Cao Cao, enter the hall." Xue Rengui's Liu Bei is not the emperor's prolific has already been secretly approved by Xue Rengui, and he sent people to spread it, even Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who was far away in Luoyang, already knew that Liu Bei was originally a straw shoe braider, so after this, the emperor didn't want to see him anymore, so he wouldn't let him enter the temple to face the saint.
"Minister Xue Rengui participates in Your Majesty."
"Minister Yuan Shao participates in Your Majesty."
"Chen Cao Cao participates in Your Majesty."
"The three Aiqing, they are really the pillars of my Han! The order went down, Xue Rengui was named the general of the hussars, Cao Cao was named the Taishou of Hanzhong, the general of the escort army, and Yuan Shao was named the minister of the Beihai and the general of the conquest. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."
"Give a few taels of gold and a few horses of Shu brocade." To be honest, Emperor Han Ling was still very stingy. Such a big credit, it's actually only a few, I guess I'm embarrassed to say how much, so I came to a few. Moreover, Emperor Han Ling is still very rich, and always tries his best to collect money, and the wealth of the people has gone to Emperor Han Ling, but Emperor Han Ling always holds it to count the money, but never spends it outside. Later, after the death of Emperor Ling of Han, many rusty and even rotten gold and silver treasures were found in the treasury. It is for this reason that natural and man-made disasters are added. It is the root cause of the demise of the Han Dynasty, because in all dynasties, it is normal for eunuchs and relatives to fight for power, and there will be no chaos in the world because of this, and the starting reason for the fall of the Han Dynasty is the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
"Report ... Your Majesty, the border is eight hundred miles and urgent documents. ”
"What's the matter! Don't you see that I'm rewarding my heroes? Although Emperor Han Ling said this, he was also secretly happy in his heart, alleviating the embarrassment that his reward was too small.
"Your Majesty, since it is an eight-hundred-mile urgent document at the border gate, please listen to it first, I will wait for the reward to be small, or the safety of the country is a big matter." Xue Rengui said it bluntly.
"Xue Aiqing deserves to be the pillar of my Han dynasty! Okay, just listen to Xue Aiqing's words, is it a peace matter? Hurry up. ”
"No."
At this time, the emperor's personal eunuch had already received the urgent document and handed it over to Zhang Rang to read out.
"Your Majesty, Karasuma and Xianbei, the two departments are in turmoil, and the army is pressing the border and annexing the state, as well as Youzhou. Xianbei, who attacked the state, was suppressed by the Taishou Ding Yuan of the state, but the state of Youzhou was under the attack of Karasuma, and the form was very dangerous, and His Majesty was asked to send troops to support. After all, Emperor Han Ling, an emperor who indulges in wine all day long, is difficult to understand the classical Chinese documents sent by his subordinates.
"Bold Karasuma, Xianbei, actually dare to make my big man's rebellion! Isn't it that Emperor Wu still has Wei, and the two generals Huo didn't beat them up! Do you have a good idea? "Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty originally wanted to scold, but Ding Yuan of Bingzhou held on to Bingzhou, and Xianbei couldn't hold on, although Youzhou couldn't beat Karasuma, but Youzhou didn't lose it, and besides, Youzhou Thorn Shi is still his uncle, Liu Yan.
"Your Majesty thinks that we should take the opportunity to conquer Karasuma and Xianbei in order to raise the prestige of our Han country.".
"Your Majesty, this move is inappropriate, now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has just ended, our treasury has gone several layers in order to conquer the Yellow Turban Army, if there is still an attack on Xianbei and Karasuma, I am afraid, it will cost a lot of wealth, the minister thinks, we should learn from Gaozu, make peace with them, and then reward gold and silver, and befriend them, so that is the right way."
"Your Majesty, no, I am a great country! How can you be in the same boat as a coarse state! ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this is a great good!"
“。。。。。。”
“。。。。。。”
“。。。。。。”
There was a sudden uproar in the court, as if there was a fight on the street, and the two sides argued endlessly, and no one paid attention to the emperor for a while. The generals of the army led by Huangfu Song, Right Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi, etc., all supported the crusade against Xianbei and Karasuma, and the civil officials led by Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Yuan Feng, and Yuan Kui all supported the main harmony.
"Give me all peace!" Although Emperor Han Ling was mediocre, he couldn't stand his subordinates like this, and suddenly shouted out in a loud voice. And the ministers who were arguing in the main hall did not forget that this was above the emperor's court, and they all shouted at the top of their voices, otherwise they would have relied on the wine-colored body of Emperor Han Ling. How could anyone hear him shouting?
"Do you think this is a vegetable market to buy vegetables? Look at what you guys look like, one by one! ”
The ministers below also looked embarrassed one by one.
"I don't know, what does Xue Aiqing think about this?" At this time, Emperor Han Ling sent a question to Xue Rengui, who had never expressed his opinion, hoping that Xue Rengui could give him an answer.
"In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not been returned. But to make the dragon city fly will not teach Humadu Yin Mountain. Xue Rengui held his enshrined white tiger whip with one hand, and put the other hand behind his chest, chanting a song "Out of the Stopper" by Wang Changling in the Tang Dynasty, which was majestic and deafening.
"Okay!"
"What a good article!"
"With such momentum, presumably only a person like General Xue who is both civil and military can do it."
"Your Majesty, this is the minister's opinion!"
"Good!" Although Emperor Han Ling didn't quite understand what Xue Rengui meant, he also heard the majestic atmosphere in this poem, and he felt like someone else.
"Your Majesty, although the Yellow Turban Army rebelled this time, we defeated them with lightning speed, and did not spend a lot of grain and grass in the treasury. And our attitude towards Xianbei and Karasuma will determine the fate of our Han in the future. If you follow the opinions of the ministers here, go to make peace with the people of these barbarian states, and don't say where the face of my big man is, just say 'dowry', just on the matter of asking for money, they will definitely open their mouths, even if this time they are ruined, then what about the next time? And next time? In the future, I'm afraid their appetite will not only be a little gold and silver treasure, but the country of the Han Dynasty! ”
"General Xue wouldn't be too alarmist!" The civil officials led by Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Yuan Feng, and Yuan Kui all had some unbearable faces, and couldn't help but say this.
"Since the adults think this is alarmist, then I will say something close, now it is only Karasuma and Xianbei rebellion, if my prediction is correct, the current Xiongnu have not rebelled, because they are still waiting, they were afraid of being beaten, but their wolf ambitions have not been defeated, they still don't want to go south all the time. However, they don't know the strength of our Han and don't dare to act rashly, but if we are soft on Xianbei and Karasuma, then I'm afraid that the Xiongnu will definitely not care about asking us for more. When the time comes, we need to marry the princess to Karasuma, Xianbei, and the Huns, and give them a big gift for each of the three families. ”
In ancient times, all the princesses who married to other forces, especially the princesses of this kind of grassland or harsh terrain, were generally temporarily entitled, that is, they used the daughters of palace maids or other ministers to top it, and like Kangxi, they married their Lan Qi'er to their great enemy, Geer's Geer, as a delaying tactic, after all, there were only a few.
However, as soon as Xue Rengui's words came out, those princes and ministers no longer buzzed like mosquitoes.
"Okay, what General Xue said is good! In that case, then I decided to send troops to Youzhou! ”
"No."
"General Xue, who do you think is the best person to go?" Emperor Han Ling asked and asked, Xue Rengui said.
"Your Majesty, in this Yellow Turban Rebellion, Weichen met two young generals, they are cousins, both of them are brave, and one of the cousins is even more capable, the minister suggested that the two of them should send troops."
"Your Majesty, the two people that General Xue Rengui said have already spent money to buy the position of Qingzhou Thorn History." At this time, Zhang Rang was already whispering next to Emperor Han Ling.
"I know these two heroes that Aiqing said, and now the two of them have been appointed by me as the Qingzhou Assassin History, since Aiqing thinks that the two of them can do it, then, Gonggong Zhang, give me a will. The Xianbei in the north, as well as the Karasuma tribe, regardless of my Han Tianwei, actually dared to send troops, and the troops came to Youzhou and merged with the state. Today, Luo Cheng was specially ordered to guard Qingzhou, and Qin Qiong led the soldiers of the fourth battalion of our Northern Army to go on the expedition, and be sure to put down the thieves! ”
Of course, everyone knows that the so-called appointment is just spending money on Emperor Han Ling to buy officials, but although everyone knows it, it is not easy to say it.
"Your Majesty, this time in the Yellow Turban Army, the soldiers of our Northern Army have just fought a vicious battle, and they have returned to the capital after a long journey, if the remaining soldiers are allowed to go to the Northern Expedition, I am afraid that the guarding ability of the Beijing Division will be weak, please think twice." At this time, Zhu Jun, Huang Pu Song, and Lu Zhi jumped out.
"This 。。。。。。" Emperor Han Ling was also embarrassed, although it was said that this was the capital of Luoyang, but he did not dare to guarantee absolute safety, in case of another Yellow Turban Army uprising from Luoyang City, there would be trouble if there was not enough strength to suppress it.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan."
"Xue Aiqing, come quickly."
"Before, in order to rectify the chaotic army in the world, Your Majesty followed the advice of Lord Liu Yan, and the military and political officials in various places were integrated, and the minister thought that this plan was conducive to the long-term peace and stability of my Han Dynasty, but it is also said that Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong are now the town guards of Qingzhou, so naturally they should also have military power."
