Volume 11 Zhang Gong Looks North and Shoots the Heavenly Wolf Chapter 934 Commentary
In September of the second year of the Great Qin Chengwu, two heavy snowfalls fell in succession, and the northland was already covered in snow, and the weather had entered the coldest time of the year.
The north wind howled, swept across the northern land, rolled up the snow, wantonly showed off its unparalleled power, and turned the entire northern land into a world of ice and snow.
As soon as the snow fell, it also completely cut off the possibility of the countries to move troops, and the garrison of Datong could finally be relaxed, and nearly half of the Qin army returned south to Taiyuan for the winter, which made Datong a little deserted again.
The 200,000 army was finally dispersed, and the Northland Beacon Fire, which had been burning for more than half a year, also came to a complete end at this time, and the Qin people showed their strength with brilliant victories.
Regardless of the Later Zhou, or the Western Xia, and the Jin State, they were all shocked by the strength of the Qin people, and they originally thought that the Qin people were in civil strife, and the rising voice of the main battle quickly disappeared in the courts of various countries, and then the voice of peace swept inside and outside the court.
Even in the Jin Kingdom, which has suffered heavy damage and half of the country is gone, there is no longer the arrogant voice of the past, the Jurchens, the Khitan nobles, are in a panic, as if the last fig leaf has been completely torn off, exposing all the weak inside.
The stale atmosphere wafted in all the places above and below the Jin country, and the magnates of the Jin country, who had exhausted all their strength by the gold and silver women's color and court battles, finally let go of the last bit of arrogance and reserve, and in the middle of September, the peace envoys came to Taiyuan and handed over the peace documents to the Qin army in Taiyuan.
The fact that Jin Guo's reaction was so slow was that it was already commonplace for the Great Qin generals, just in time for Chong Huaiyu to lead his troops back to Taiyuan.
The Xiongwu army did not contribute much in this battle, but after years of fighting, the combat power of the Beijing army has been completely abandoned by the border army.
After this war, the chances of the Beijing army participating in foreign expeditions will become more and more slim, even if it is the so-called elite Xiongwu army of the Beijing army. The table on the battle array can only be described as unbearable, not to mention the other departments of the Beijing army that have fallen through accidents.
The Yulin Left Guard, which was once in the limelight, has been scattered, but it has provided a lot of talents for the border army departments, and now they are in the north to the various departments. There are really a lot of generals from the left guard of Yulin.
Take the general Zhao Shi as the one. Du Shanhu, Zhang Fengju, etc., are all court generals from Yulin Zuowei, but compared to the downfall of today's Zuowei. These people have all become the pillars of Great Qin and the cadres of the army, and I have to say that the world is changing, and no one can predict it.
And it was just right that the Jin people and the envoys came. The Xiongwu army returned to Beijing, and by the way, these envoys were sent to Chang'an, a year passed, and it was the season when the north was frozen, but the mood and situation of the Jin envoys were only worse than the last time.
This time, they didn't have much confidence, and the only fierce reaction was to reprimand the Qin army for coming north and facing the Jurchens along the way. The slaughter of the Khitans is just a cloud, but once upon a time, when the Khitans and Jurchens swept the north, how could they ever show mercy?
Such senseless accusations. It can only show that the Jin people are very inward-looking, and they have been scared of being killed by the Qin people.
Zhao Shi did not return with the army, but stayed in Datong. There is still a lot to do in the coming year, and it will take time to go back and forth. Moreover, it is now very different from when Emperor Jing was in power.
Emperor Chengwu Li Quanshou's trust in him is not comparable to that of Emperor Jing at the beginning, so that he can rest assured that he can exert his strength and feet, but the royal people, who said it well, is His Majesty such a good person today, Zhao Shi is absolutely unbelievable, and the person who can kill his father and brother without changing his face is not so simple on the surface.
It's just a matter of the situation, the emperor needs a general like him to deter dissent in the army, and he, Zhao Shi, also needs the support of the emperor and his majesty, and he can fight abroad with confidence, so he is such a good and happy look.
At this time, it is indeed much more comfortable than when Emperor Jing was in power, and there is no need to be vigilant against the wind sword and snow sword from Chang'an, let alone worry, the emperor suddenly became suspicious, and he made a lot of moths out, that kind of marionette-like days, Zhao Shi still remembers it vividly.
Emperor Jing's methods made him uncomfortable, and it was precisely because of this that he finally broke up.
However, Emperor Li Quanshou's thoughts, he couldn't guess very thoroughly, he just knew that after the chaos, he should be able to calm down for a few years, but the future will be difficult to say, the back road still has to be left enough, and pinning his net worth and life on the emperor's majesty is undoubtedly the most stupid idea.
He wrote a few letters to his family, and asked Chong Huaiyu to take them to Taiyuan by the way, and Liu Zhongguo brought them back, and when the two heavy snows fell, Zhao Shi's days in Datong were actually more leisurely.
The food and grass in the army are complete, and the things for the winter have already been prepared, plus the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture and the prefect of Datong Prefecture have also arrived, and they have all come to Datong to visit before, and then go to take office, so that he doesn't have to worry about anything anymore.
When the prefect of Datong Mansion arrived, the holy decree also arrived, and the general Zhao Shi was the envoy of Hedong Xuanfu, and the commander-in-chief of Hedong military and political affairs, well, it was almost the same as the Tang Dynasty Shuo Fang Jiedu envoy, and the territory under his control was not much different.
When he was in Pingshu, Zhao Shi also received such a position, and he was also a festival envoy, but this time, the difference is that at that time, he was ordered to be in danger, and although the local officials were also under his jurisdiction, he didn't care about any local political affairs, in fact, he was still a general.
But this time, it belongs to the reward of meritorious deeds, if he wants, it is not impossible that the entire river is already surnamed Zhao, and a fresh and authentic festival envoy is released, but no one calls it that.
Listening to the prefect of Datong Mansion on the left and the right on the right, Zhao Shi, the general, felt extraordinarily fresh, and at the same time felt very awkward, thinking, this is a literati leader all of a sudden, thinking about his own calligraphy that he can't even see, and suddenly felt that this literati leader himself may not be worthy of the name, or not too arrogant.
And this former prince and young master, who was later driven out of the East Palace and went around in the south, also brought the message of Emperor Chengwu Li Quanshou.
But he was jokingly explaining, when he was rewarding meritorious deeds, there was a long quarrel in the court, and the crux of the problem was still on him, the general.
Some people say that it is good to add his title, but some people say that he is now a first-class marquis, and then he is a grandfather, so he will play a Hedong, and then with that person's ability, the military exploits will definitely follow, is it impossible to be crowned king in the end?
Some people said that the first-class marquis can actually add the word "founding of the country", but then some people retorted, just two words, can you reward the general's achievements today?
In the end, the focus of the controversy is back to the position of the general, the general of the three grades, it is impossible to add it to the title, there is no old example of a general of one and two grades, the founding emperor Taizu also once said, after the three grades of civil and military ministers, is already a very human minister, why do you need to have honor, the lessons of the previous car are not far away, this is the source of the troubles of the dynasty.
As a result, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Great Qin has the position of Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the first and second grades, and no longer has the position of Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the first and second grades.
And Zhao Shi's champion general is already the top rank of the third grade, and it can't be added, since the virtual title is not successful, there is only a real position.
This was another quarrel, and finally the position of Hedong Xuanfu envoy was decided, and some ministers crooked their mouths, saying that the general had high merit and could shade his children and grandchildren, so there was no need to bother, but this mention was supported by many people, but in the end, His Majesty the Emperor still chose this position for Zhao Shi on the grounds of inspiring the soldiers in front.
Speaking of this, the prefect of Datong Mansion, who was in his forties, also said in a mysterious low voice, His Majesty asked me to tell the envoy that the Old Testament before, His Majesty had never forgotten for a moment, and I hope that the Lord Jun can rest assured that he will live up to his original words in the future.
Looking at the look of this prefect, it seemed that he knew everything, but Zhao Shi understood that this was just a word, what mountains in the world, if I share it with you, even if Li Quanshou has no brains, he will not talk about it to others.
In Zhao Shi's view, these are nothing, His Majesty the Emperor has won the hearts of the people, and the addition of officials to the knighthood or something is easy to come by, and it is really nothing.
It was the last words of the prefect that made Zhao Shi's heart warm slightly, it turned out that the emperor's majesty was still thinking about his family's affairs, and wanted to give his sister-in-law a marriage, and by the way, he added the title of county lady, and there was the emperor's majesty as a guarantee, and many people would be happy to accept it.
Zhao Shi thought about it, this is a good idea, the girl is not young, and it is not a way to drag it down, of course, at the age of more than twenty, in the later life, it is the time when she is young and wanton, and she is from an official eunuch family, not to mention divorced, even if you have children, you have to queue up to ask for marriage......
But in this era, a girl in her twenties is an abandoned woman, even if she has a brother like him, it is not easy for people to find her.
Famous, care about reputation, powerful, most don't want to be said to be inflammatory, young and talented, in their twenties and unmarried, where do you find it?
Unless Zhao Shi comes forward in person and oppresses people with power, he can succeed, and his current face, even the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, dare not refute it casually, but if he marries like this, he can live a good life.
Seeing Zhao Shi nodding slightly, the prefect who was already envious climbed up the pole......
