Chapter Twenty-Eight: Captain Yingyang Luo has no disease
In the Changle Palace, a scene of ascending level, the palace in the palace should dance with the music with the flowing clouds and water sleeves, the posture is soft and beautiful, and then look at the palace, the gold and silver are the walls, the beautiful jade is decorated, the corridor pillars are towering, and the embarrassment of the Han Dynasty when it was just opened is no longer restored.
The foundation of the Han Dynasty is too thick, and the Xiongnu fought three or four major wars in ten years, whether it is victory or defeat, between the two sides is a knife to the blood, to put it more bluntly, the so-called difference between victory and defeat, is to see who finally cleans the battlefield, the actual number of casualties are about the same.
Wei Qing's fame rose so quickly because he was able to surpass the casualties every time he slashed, and even once the armor returned unharmed, which was a great merit.
After three rounds of drinking, Luo Jing said to Liu Che and Wei Zifu, who were sitting at the top: "Your Majesty, since you ascended the throne in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, you have used troops against the Xiongnu many times, and the general Changping Hou has defeated the Xiongnu many times, and the minister wants to congratulate you."
Lonely trees can not grow into forests, a stream can not gather into lakes and seas, the virtuous people are not enough to achieve great things, the general has the style of the ancient famous generals, but in the past ten years, the war between the Han and the Xiongnu has not made great progress, this is the reason why the talents are not enough.
I'm worried about this, so I'd like to recommend someone to you. ”
What Luo Jing said just hit the point in Liu Che's heart, the previous use of troops in the past ten years, because the battlefield is in the Monan grassland, the consumption of money and food is relatively small, the key is that except for Wei Qing, Liu Che cannot get satisfactory results.
According to Liu Che's thoughts, I am the natural saint king who got the Apocalypse of King Su, the emperor of King Su cut the barbarians at the beginning, with a sword in his hand, and killed all the way from Haojing to the land of Xu Huai, from west to east, ambushing millions of corpses, just like chopping melons and vegetables.
Emperor Su Wang is the supreme holy king, even if I can't compare to Emperor Su Wang, I can't be worse than Qin Shi Huang, Qin Shi Huang sent a Meng Tian can but the Xiongnu more than 700 li, so that the Hu people dare not go south and herd horses, as a result, I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and let the Xiongnu entrench in Monan for so many years?
I don't want to lose face?
But Liu Che couldn't help it, the plan he made was obviously no problem, and the difference in combat effectiveness between the Han army and the Huns was also not large, but what could I do if I got lost as soon as I got out of the jam?
He is the emperor, and he can't go into battle to kill in person, but fortunately there is Wei Qing, otherwise it would be a shame.
Now that Luo Jing is willing to provoke this topic, it should be very sure that it will be so, Liu Che immediately said: "Oh? Recommend one? Dong Ahou also asked. ”
Luo Jing said: "The minister has a cousin, named Luo Wuji, is the widow of the second uncle of the minister, Your Majesty may not have heard of the second uncle of the minister, the second uncle was ordered by the Holy King Zhao to go to the extreme west, to the region thousands of miles away, and never appeared in the Central Plains.
Danchen's second uncle is a person of Yunwen Yunwu, and he inherited the ability of the second uncle without illness, and King Zhaosheng praised him for having the ability of the ancestor Wugong, and set him as the next head of the Luo family.
He looks up at the stars and knows the direction, standing on the grassland, he can distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, he is good at cavalry, he can shoot the bow left and right on the horse, and sit on the horse no matter how galloping the horse is as steady as a rock. ….
It is really an unborn cavalry commander, a general sent by Emperor Su to make contributions to Your Majesty. ”
Luo Jingzhen is worthy of being a minister of literature, Liu Che's heart swayed in this description, as if he had seen a heroic young man, especially Luo Wuji's name He liked very much.
"Luo Wuji?"
As soon as Liu Che heard what Luo Jing said, he couldn't help but look at Empress Wei Zifu and laughed, Wei Zifu said: "Dong Ahou, Your Majesty and I have a nephew named Huo Quai, which is similar to your cousin. ”
Although Huo Qubing often enters the palace and is still the queen's nephew, he has not yet made contributions, and Luo Jing naturally does not know that there is such a number one.
Liu Che also noticed what Luo Jing said about the next head of the family, and asked with some curiosity: "Dong Ahou, when the Zhaosheng King fell, this cousin of yours was probably only five or six years old, how could he decide on the inheritance position at that time?" ”
Luo Jing said: "Your Majesty must know that the inheritance of the Luo family is determined by the ancestors, and Wu Ji is the genius of the Luo family, and from the moment he was born, he has already determined that he wants to become the head of the Luo family, which is set by King Zhaosheng." ”
Luo's has always supported the inheritance of his eldest son, but Luo's also praised the act of promoting the throne and giving up the country, after all, Luo's thousand-year-old history has happened many times.
Liu Che's heart sank when he heard this, and the importance of Luo Wujian in his heart increased by one point, and even the people related to King Zhaosheng had to be careful, and muttered: "Since it is recommended by Dong'ahou, and it is the son of the Luo family, he has outstanding ability and good moral character, which is exactly the talent that the Han Dynasty needs."
General Wei Qing has just led his army back to Chang'an to recuperate, preparing to rest until the beginning of spring next year.
Therefore, at present, the imperial court has no plans to start a war with the Xiongnu, and I have made Gongzi Wujian as the captain of Yingyang, and when the war is together, I will make Gongzi Wujian lead thousands of people to attack.
When I have made a contribution, I can be rewarded as a general and lead the army independently, which must be the most appropriate. ”
The official position of captain is very wonderful in the regulations of the Han Dynasty, it can be said that he is an ordinary middle-level officer, but it can also take off, such as the five captains of the Northern Army in the past, the general can lead the army independently, and the captain actually has a lot of room for action, especially for Luo Wuji, even if he is a captain, but the number of troops and the power to make decisions are negotiable, and it is impossible to be an ordinary captain who follows the trend of step.
Although Luo Wujian is the road of recommendation, the captain is already the highest-level military position that Liu Che can give, and it is no longer the time when he fought the world, he can directly worship from a cloth to a general, even if it is a relative like Wei Qing, it is also a meritorious service step by step to the position of a general.
Luo Wujian wants to be a marquis and worship a general, but he still has to rely on his own hands to achieve fame, unless he is crowned and gets the position of Duke Zhao now, then Liu Che will directly worship as a general with the title of Duke Zhao on his body, and no one will say anything.
Not everyone can be an official directly, and many are unemployed in the recruitment hall.
Luo Jing bowed slightly and said, "The ministers have thanked Your Majesty for their illness." ”
……
Dong Ahou Mansion.
Luo Wujian took out the map of the Western Regions and looked at it carefully, this map was copied by his father Luo Zhongkan for half his life, which recorded in detail the location of mountains and rivers, desert Gobi, pass passes, and even each oasis, the population that can be carried has been recorded, as well as the customs and customs, this is a "Western Regions Raiders", even if decades have passed, but the high and low direction of mountains and rivers cannot change in a short period of time. ….
Luo Wujian gently stroked it and muttered, "Father, don't worry, the child will definitely penetrate the Western Regions and bring that land under the rule of Zhuxia." ”
If you want to penetrate the Western Regions, you have to defeat the Xiongnu, from Guanzhong to the west, the current Hexi Corridor, basically the tribes of the Huns, Hutu King and Hun Evil King, etc., are entrenched there, these tribes and the Right Xianwang Department, the Right Valley Liwang Department, etc., are connected in one, do not completely defeat the Xiongnu, want to insert their hands into the Western Regions, that is a dream.
Moreover, although the strength of the Western Regions itself is insufficient, there is still more than enough to defend the territory, and if the central court sends two or three hundred thousand troops to the Western Regions, it will be really crazy, and it is estimated that when crossing the desert Gobi, a large number of people will die if they are not adapted to the high temperature and water and soil.
Anyway, Luo Zhongkan has come to the conclusion that if you want to minimize the cost of fighting the Western Regions, it is best to add the elite soldiers of the Central Plains and the servant army of the Western Regions, but the problem is that once the Central Plains changes, you can't take care of the Western Regions, and history has proved this countless times.
Ji Zhao also understood this, so he asked Luo's to go to the Western Regions to station, because only Luo's can produce elite soldiers more stably, and Luo's has Zhaocheng, a stable base camp, and he can form a caravan by himself, and he can collect past commercial taxes when he retreats, which is enough to maintain the consumption of garrisoning the Western Regions.
Luo Wuji's appointment did not cause any waves, Luo's escapist strategy was implemented very well, when it came to Luo's, everyone said that it was awesome, but when it was not mentioned, everyone tacitly regarded it as non-existent.
After the fall of Luoling, Liu Che felt that Luo's influence had plummeted, and he had changed from being able to replace the emperor at any time to only being able to threaten the emperor.
It's actually nothing anymore.
To put it mildly, the most threatening to the throne is the queen mother in the Weiyang Palace, because the queen mother can abolish the emperor in the name of unfilial piety, and Luo's can't do this.
At that moment, Liu Che really had the feeling that the sky above his head was being lifted, and he really felt the supreme feeling of the son of heaven.
Luo Wujian picked up the edict of appointment issued by the imperial court again, Captain Yingyang, 1,200 people under the captain, all of them are elite cavalry, although the Han court does not have as many horses as the Xiongnu, but such a little can still be taken out.
Luo Wuji's fingers gently rubbed the handwriting on it, this is his own, from here, attack the Huns, open up the Western Regions, step on the Yin Mountain, and raise the prestige of my Luo clan outside the territory!
The Huns probably couldn't wait to be beaten, the Han army had just rested in the spring, had just finished spring ploughing, and soon entered the Kou border pass again.
News came from the border, "The Huns entered Kodai County, killed thousands of people, and plundered money and grain." ”
As soon as this news reached Chang'an, it instantly ignited everyone's anger again, and the call for the Xiongnu to pay for the blood debt instantly resounded throughout Chang'an City.
Following the general to make meritorious contributions and get promoted with military merits has become the consensus of many people!
The conscription order was soon issued again, and Luo Wuji, who had been staying in Dong'ahou Mansion, knew that his time had come, so he took out the armor built by the family and wiped it gently.
Luo Wuji's title of lieutenant is not very satisfied, I can't think of it after thinking about it for a long time, everyone help me think about it, I'll change it.
