Remember for a second [Think โรท Ke โ Xiao โณ said ยง Net . Org], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
"Chen Weiqing, start Your Majesty, not long ago, the minister led the army deep into the desert of Monan to find the main force of the Huns for a decisive battle, during the march, the minister sent the former general Zhao Xin, and the later general Su Jian led three thousand iron cavalry on the right flank as a cover."
"Unexpectedly, these two people went deep alone, deviated from the army, and then encountered the main force of Yi Zhixie, 3,000 iron cavalry and tens of thousands of Hun cavalry fought hard, and fought fiercely for several days, our army was not supported, and almost all the army was annihilated."
"Zhao Xin saw that the Xiongnu were strong, so he led 800 remnants of the army to surrender to the Xiongnu, and only Su Jian escaped back from the encirclement alone."
"Zhao Xin and Su Jian were defeated, and the minister could not escape his responsibility, but the enemy is at present, and the minister does not dare to kill the general, so he hereby sends someone to send Su Jian back to Chang'an and hand it over to His Majesty."
At the end, Wei Qing added another sentence.
"Chen Weiqing is guilty of living up to His Majesty's holy grace, and I implore Your Majesty to remove him from his official position and comfort the heroic soul."
After reading Wei Qing's battle report, Liu Che was so angry that he almost lifted the table!
A full 3,000 iron cavalry was wiped out, that's 3,000 people! And as Ju Weiqing said, these 3,000 people are still the elite of his Han Iron Cavalry, the elite! Their death, although it can't hurt Liu Che's vitality, is really distressing.
Can you not feel distressed, the three thousand brave iron horsemen who have fought on the battlefield for many years are gone, how long will it take, and how much manpower and material resources will be needed to re-cultivate a batch.
Alas...... It is said that these 3,000 people are brave enough, and they can fight with tens of thousands of Huns for a few days before the whole army is wiped out...... The fighting spirit is not tenacious.
The defeat of this army could not be relied on by others, it was completely Su Jian and Zhao Xin, who advanced lightly and led the iron cavalry deep into the desert, so that they were too far away from Wei Qing's army, and when they were besieged by the Huns, they couldn't even ask for help.
Liu Che sat on the dragon chair, his brows furrowed, gritting his teeth and chanting the name "Zhao Xin", compared to the loss of three thousand iron horses, what made Liu Che most angry was Zhao Xin's surrender to the enemy.
The former general of his Han Dynasty, a general with 3,000 households in the city, actually surrendered to the Xiongnu!
Zhao Xin's surrender was like a resounding slap in the face of Liu Che.
......
Zhao Xin, originally a Huns, surrendered to the Han after the defeat a few years ago, in view of his ability to lead the troops well, and after surrendering to the Han, he performed well, Liu Che named him the Marquis of Xi, and let him continue to lead the troops, and made many meritorious contributions in the previous wars, so that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty regarded it as his own confidant to cultivate.
But now, it is such a confidant general, who actually led his troops to surrender to the enemy, even if you are surrounded and have no power to return to the sky, you should not betray the big man, betray me Liu Che!
Liu Che, who was angry, slapped his palm on the bookcase in front of him again, and Long Yan said angrily: "Spread my will, the former general Zhao Xin, defected to the Huns, the crime is unforgivable, raze the three clans, Yu Linwei can arrest Zhao Xin's whole family and behead me on the spot!" Liu Che's last sentence was almost shouted out with a roar, which shows how angry he was at Zhao Xin's surrender, he couldn't even wait for a day, and he was going to kill Zhao Xin's family today to vent his anger.
After finishing speaking, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to scold the street, one waste at a time, one bastard at a time, and a thousand knives at a time, sure enough, it was the old Liu family, like his ancestor Liu Bang, who had a dirty export.....
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty scolded here, and the important ministers of the court over there were silent, bowing their heads one by one, not even daring to breathe, for fear of being caught by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in anger to vent their anger, but not everyone is so finished, the ancestor master in the cross talk industry is much better, and he still has the leisure to look around......
.......
If you want to say who is the most eye-catching among the current ministers, it can probably only be kneeling under the palace, the middle-aged man who is wearing a red Hanfu and has a pair of small eyes, and his eyes reveal a touch of wisdom all the time, but he is very dishonest.
I saw that the ministers beside him listened to the scolding of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and they were all so frightened that they lowered their heads and trembled, only he was very bold, not only did he bow his head, but he also looked left and right a few times.
Seeing that none of the ministers dared to fart, this middle-aged man who looked a little funny carefully sorted out his official uniform, and then ....... gently pushed Dong Zhongshu, who was sitting next to him in his fifties......
Dong Zhongshu looked at the middle-aged man in astonishment, and the middle-aged man bowed in the direction of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and put on a embarrassed expression, and his big hands were constantly shaking.
His meaning is very simple, Brother Dong, you are the prime minister, hurry up and persuade Your Majesty, let him stop scolding, it is important to deal with business, you said that Your Majesty is also an emperor, is it good to scold the street like this, hurry up, you go and persuade.
proposed to depose the hundred schools and respect Confucianism, but Mr. Dong Zhongshu, who saw that this middle-aged man actually hit him with his idea, and he was not angry.
Prime Minister Dong Lao Cheng opened his old eyes, cautiously glanced at Emperor Wu of Han who was still scolding the street on the dragon chair, and then hurriedly withdrew his gaze and waved his hand at the middle-aged man, the meaning is also very simple, I want to go to you, I don't want to look for the unlucky one.
The middle-aged man glanced at Prime Minister Dong Cheng with some disdain, and then tidied up his official uniform again, knelt on the mat with a wat board very standardly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Minister Dongfang Shuo ......"
"Get out!"
Liu Che was angry, and he didn't hear who was talking to him, so he shouted out directly, which almost scared Dongfang Shuo, who was then a doctor of Taishi, fainted.......
After scolding this rolling word, Liu Che was obviously a little angry, and he also knew that he had scolded the wrong person just now, so he didn't continue to scold, but his face was still blue and frowned.
Liu Che leaned his right hand in front of the bookcase, his head was on the palm of his right hand, he closed his eyes, and his left hand massaged his temples again and again, pressing it while saying, "Who is Your Highness talking to?" โ
Comrade Dongfang Shuo hurriedly trotted down in the center of the hall, made a big salute, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's the minister Dongfang Shuo." โ
Liu Che half-squinted and looked at Dongfang Shuo, for this flamboyant guy, Liu Che still likes it, after a glance, Liu Che closed his eyes again, and said a little impatiently: "What's the matter?" โ
Dongfang Shuo said with a hippie smile: "Your Majesty, the minister dares to tell you a story, saying that one day, a long-tongued woman in Chang'an Dongcheng heard that her husband was looking for a little wife outside, and put the letter of resignation in front of her, which made her hate so much, and began to scold the street in front of the public, heh, the one who scolded was called a bloody ......."
The ministers couldn't help but steal the fun, and a few of them accidentally laughed, and even Dong Zhongshu lowered his head, and his shoulders trembled.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was almost fainted by Dongfang Shuo's deliberate anger, and casually smashed the pen and inkstone on the desk at Dongfang Shuo, and scolded, "Get out of here!" โ
Dongfang Shuo is more clever, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's inkstone did not hit him, but was dodged by him as soon as he flew towards him, and his body was very clean and neat, which shows that he should have been beaten by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty before.
Dongfang Shuo dodged the inkstone thrown by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but he didn't see any regret or fear, and smiled at Liu Che: "Come on, the minister obeys the order, let's go." โ
Dongfang Shuo saluted Liu Che very respectfully, and then strode out of Weiyang Palace, leaving only the awe-inspiring eyes of the ministers behind him, and the back of gritting his teeth and watching him leave, all of them rushed over and rolled up their sleeves to beat him Emperor Wu of Han.
Talent, this courage is really big.
The Yulin guards, who were on both sides of Weiyang Palace, saw Dongfang Shuo come out early, and greeted him with a smile: "Lord Dongfang, it's a little late for you to come out today." โ
Dongfang Shuo waved his hand, "Come out late, go back early, wait and see, Your Majesty will send someone to me soon." โ
After speaking, Dongfang Shuo simply sat on the steps outside Weiyang Palace and chatted with the soldiers of Yulinwei.
If you want to say that Dongfang Shuo is also underbeaten, you just look at the story he told, well, a long-tongued girl in Dongcheng, Chang'an, heard that her husband found a little wife outside, and she didn't want her, so she began to scold the street in public.
Dongfang Shuo was really bold, he dared to compare Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to a long-tongued woman, it was just that the tiger was still angry, so he hurriedly touched the tiger's ass again......
Moreover, listening to the conversation he had with Yu Linwei just now, it is estimated that he has not done this kind of thing before.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't skin Dongfang Shuo alive on the spot, even if he was broad-minded, he didn't know how Dongfang Shuo survived to this day......
But....... This is Dongfang Shuo, this is the first wise man of the ages who dares to speak out.
Dongfang Shuo was chatting with Yu Linwei, and a little eunuch hurriedly ran out of the Yang Palace, and shouted at Dongfang Shuo, who was sitting on the steps: "Lord Dongfang, Your Majesty has a decree, let you go back quickly." โ
"Hey, do you see, what am I talking about, Your Majesty won't let me scold two words a day, it's uncomfortable, yes, let's go, see you tomorrow." Dongfang Shuo stood up from the ground very proudly and said to those smiling Yulin guards.
.......
Dongfang Shuo, a legendary figure, about him, most of the evaluations in history are a wise man, but there is a premise, funny and witty, well, people are the ancestors of the cross talk industry, and now people who learn cross talk have to worship him on the way when they are apprenticing, you say how interesting he is, just look at the story he just gave to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty casually recited such a story, this guy is interesting.
Dongfang Shuo, witty personality, quick speech, funny and wise, often talked and laughed in front of Emperor Wu for fun, "then observe the color, bluntly admonish" ("Hanshu Dongfang Shuo Biography").
This is Dongfang Shuo in the history books, that is, he is now, which is very consistent, especially the point of being outspoken....... Again, how did he live to such a big age, logically speaking, this kind of person can be described in one word.
Mouth owes.
There is also only one solution for such people in general.
Big mouth bang.
"Let you owe it in your mouth, let you owe it in your mouth, Lao Tzu can't kill your broken mouth!"
It is estimated that every time Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was bluntly admonished by Dongfang Shuo, such a sentence would ring in his heart.
Dongfang Shuo is like Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is like Li Shimin, which is not right, Wei Zheng is a master who has oil and salt, Li Shimin's temper is also quite good, and he is always willing to reflect on himself....... But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's temper is not so good, if he says that he will rectify you, he will cut off his head when he says that he will cut off his head, and he doesn't care if he regrets it.
Therefore, this can better appreciate Dongfang Shuo's wit.
