Chapter Ninety-One: The Past of the Heavenly Wolf
Because He Chaozhi was also there, Pei Ruchu's guard outside the room was particularly strict, and Song Zhiban made it clear that it was inconvenient for him to come forward, and how to break in, Qin Songen had to make up his own mind.
Qin Songen thought very simply, her father originally sought to gain the name of the township monarch in order to make a name for himself, but since he entered the palace, he was unexpectedly easy to use, so this time she also planned to use the name of the township monarch to continue to break through, there was Song Zhuban watching in front, and those attendants did not dare to stop her too strongly, and when she got close to herself, she yelled outside the house, even Pei Ruchu could not pretend to be deaf.
However, before she left, she remembered something, turned around and asked Song Zhiban, "Can you tell me about this general of the right guard?" ”
Fortunately, although Song Zhiban is an internal official, he seems to know the officials of the court very well, he thought about it for a while, and then picked up some of the content he knew and told Qin Songen: "Fang Jizu was born in Shanyin Fang, although he is also a Gaomen surname, but he lost his father when he was young, his family was in the middle of the road, and he also worked as a cattle herder for a period of time when he was young, but he was diligent and studious, even on the back of the cow, he was diligent and studious, and he was recommended as the captain of Diannong with his talent. Improvement of farming and promotion. ”
"However, General Fang has actually liked to march and fight since he was a child. He later told people that whenever he saw mountains and rivers, he would want to survey the terrain there and plan where to mark the barracks, even if he was ridiculed by others. God always prefers those who are prepared, he happened to encounter the Miao rebellion when he was the governor of Lingnan Province, so he ordered someone to blow up the upstream dam, leading Hunan water into the valley where the Miao people have lived for generations. ”
Speaking of this, Song Zhiban paused, reminiscing about the past for a long time before sighing: "Speaking of the battle of Tianluo Pass, General Fang also served as the supervisor of the Western Route Army, when Zhao Yuandao's commander of the Middle Route Army was wiped out, Zhao Hanshan colluded with the Wei people to defect to the Wei State, thanks to General Fang's order, stood up at the critical moment, packed up the remaining remnants, and retreated in time with my Daye's boys, and then took the Western Route Army to fight all the way to the bloody battle, buying time for the emperor's southern tour. ”
Qin Songen was stunned when he heard this: The Battle of Heavenly Wolf Pass, wouldn't that be the big battle where Wu Yuzhuo's father died tragically as the commander and the second uncle defected to the Wei State?
Because it involves the most painful memories in Wu Yuzhuo's heart, Wu Yuzhuo himself took the initiative not to mention it, and Qin Songen is not easy to ask in detail, he only knows a rough idea.
Since Zhao Yuandao was transferred to the northern defense line, he attacked the Wei people head-on on the frontier, killing the enemy like a bamboo, not only beating the Wei soldiers back to the northern border, but also leading the troops into the territory of Wei, breaking the enemy's camp all the way.
The first emperor saw that Zhao Yuandao was gaining momentum, so he ignored the opposition of the main peace faction in the court, and sent another 200,000 troops with the strength of the country, and the troops were divided into three ways to counterattack the Wei State, and ordered Zhao Yuandao to be the commander and sit in the middle road.
This man, who was originally known as the "God of War" of Daye, suddenly reversed the normal state of onslaught after the reinforcements arrived, feared the enemy, and led the troops to fall deep into the hinterland of Wei, but closed the door without fighting, and was finally led by the generals of Wei to form a front and rear encirclement, losing the good situation that was originally defeated, resulting in the blood of countless men in Ye State staining the northern frontier, and never returning to their homeland, the land of Tianwolf Pass was stained red with blood, it is said that even if more than ten years have passed, it is still dark red to this day.
Originally, how much the people of Ye Kingdom loved this "God of War", and how much they hated him after that!
Later, more news came from the north, after Zhao Yuandao was killed in battle, his own brother, Zhao Hanshan, the commander of the Western Route Army, led his henchmen to defect to Wei, and they searched from Zhao Hanshan's study for letters exchanged with Wei, as well as countless treasures with the imprint of Wei's treasury in the Zhao family's mansion, gold and silver.
It turned out that the Wei people offered gold and silver treasures, and bought off the Zhao family to delay time, who knew that the short-sighted and wealthy Zhao family secretly agreed, and even supported the army with self-respect, not thinking of enterprising, and finally because of the light enemy, the Wei State was rebellious, and the whole army was annihilated.
As soon as this news came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and everyone couldn't wait to eat the flesh of the entire Zhao family, drink their blood, draw their tendons, and crush their bones and ashes! The "God of War" Zhao family has become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats.
The Zhao family's contribution to the defeat of Tianluo Pass back then was so shocking that Qin Songen only knew the great names of Zhao Yuandao and Zhao Hanshan, but he didn't know that General Fang Jizu had also been the supervisor of the Western Route Army of the Northern Expedition.
Song Zhiban saw the look of surprise on Qin Songen's face, so he explained: "Originally, the Northern Expeditionary Army was defeated, and Fang Jizu, who was the supervisor of the Western Route Army, didn't need to notice the wolf ambitions of the Zhao family, and even let Zhao Hanshan escape later, and he himself was inevitably punished, but that battle was too tragic. After the victory of the Wei State Heavenly Wolf Pass, he took advantage of the victory to pursue, and it was the time to employ people in the court, so he ordered him to atone for his crimes, and led the rest of the Western Route Army to buy time for the first emperor to cross to the south, but after that battle, there were really not many people left in the Western Route Army. ”
"Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream." Song Zhiban sighed and continued, "After the first emperor crossed to the south, because of Fang Jizu's previous heroic performance, and because of the battle of the good hand and famous general who was good at fighting, Fang Jizu gradually rose to the top and achieved the position of the current general of the right guard. ”
"Although he can't compare with Zhao Yuandao's ability to fight well and bravery, he is calm and humble, not arrogant or impatient, and now that the country is weak, it is precisely the need for a down-to-earth and steady general like Fang Jizu to preside over the military." Song Zhiban looked at Qin Songen and said to her: "Although General Fang was born in a high family, he had a poor life when he was a child, so he was not only able to mingle with ordinary soldiers in the army, but also won the respect of famous families. After forming an alliance with Dawan this time, we still have to blood the great revenge of the battle of Tianluo Pass that year, and send troops together with Dawan to fight against Wei, at this critical moment, General Fang can't have an accident! ”
Song Zhiban sighed: "I won't tell you anything, originally I was secretly laughing at whether it would be He Chaozhi's fuss, thinking that he was suspicious of his neighbor stealing the axe, and everyone was hiding evil intentions to harm him, but now that this case has been investigated step by step, I feel more and more that what he suspects is not a big fuss, and it is true that someone is secretly designing all this, but I can't see through what that person wants to do!" ”
