Chapter 139: Yao Xiaoren is planning to do so
The Ming Empire originally had its own Ming military god.
This Ming military god is not the so-called god of war in the army of the three princes, which can be compared with it.
Huo dispelled illness, enlisted in the army at the age of seventeen, and killed 25 enemy generals in the first battle.
At the age of eighteen, he was awarded the title of Captain Yao, and led 800 cavalry deep into the western border of the Tang Empire.
At the age of nineteen, drinking horses and Chu Jiang, the Great Chu Empire did not dare to plunder its edge, and at that time, Li Fengxian, the unparalleled god of war of the Great Chu Empire, was just a hairy boy.
Seven years ago, the twenty-two-year-old Huo was promoted to the general of the Hussars of the Ming Empire, and was in charge of the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty together with the military advisor Liu Shuwen.
Five years ago, Huo Dibing led the army and encountered an ambush, and 100,000 horses were wrapped into iron buckets by 300,000 soldiers of the Tang Empire.
In the end, the emperor received the news that Huo Di died in battle, and nearly half of the 100,000 Ming soldiers were lost.
Without waiting for the emperor's order to be issued, the remaining 50,000 soldiers were unarmored on the spot.
The Ming Empire was not bullied before, and the Great Chu and the Tang Dynasty could only tremble under the power of the Ming Dynasty a few years ago.
And all of this has changed since Huo Zhen died in battle.
The emperor didn't know how many times he sighed about this, but he also knew that there was a reason why Huo Zhen's army was surrounded by the Tang Dynasty back then.
And for this reason, the emperor did not want too many people to know.
At this moment, Yao Xiaoren mentioned Huo Di's illness again, and the emperor's mood was naturally not too good.
His eyes fell on the second prince's body, and his expression was gloomy.
The second prince clenched his fists tightly, afraid that the emperor would investigate the matter of the year.
At that time, Huo Di's illness was in full swing in the Ming Dynasty, and the three princes had Liu Zhuguo, the backer of the army.
But there was no one in his army of the second prince.
Huo Dizhi, a peerless military god who was born out of nowhere, was naturally the target of his second prince's recruitment.
It's just that Huo Dizhi refused the invitation of the second prince several times.
Gold, silver, jewelry, and mansion beauties were all stopped by Huo Di's illness.
has been rejected, and the second prince is naturally dissatisfied with Huo Di's illness.
I was worried that the three princes would take the lead, and if I couldn't get it, it would be better to destroy it.
In that year, Huo Dibing led the army to the expedition, and the second prince was ordered to prepare military funds.
So he deliberately delayed, making it difficult for Huo Di's army to move forward, and was finally surrounded by the 300,000 army of the Tang Dynasty.
The matter was later investigated, and although the emperor did not make any punishment, it was ......
"What do you mean by Prime Minister?" The emperor's tone was low, and his gaze fell on Yao Xiaoren.
"Your Majesty, in fact, what the minister wants to say is that Huo Zhen didn't die back then......
"What?" The Emperor stood up again.
But then he sat back down with a disappointed face.
Back then, the second prince was behind the scenes, causing Huo Di's sick soldiers to be defeated and killed, and the 100,000 army dispersed in one day.
It's just that he, the emperor, has nothing to do with the second prince.
Even if Huo Dizhi didn't die, can he forgive him as an emperor now?
The rest of the people were also shocked.
Liu Shuwen looked at Yao Xiaoren.
He didn't know how Yao Xiaoren dared to say that Huo was sick and not dead.
For so many years, he Liu Shuwen has not heard any such news.
"There is another thing, and the minister also wants to inform Your Majesty that the 50,000 soldiers who took off their armor did not leave separately, but lived separately in a team of 100 people near Huo Di's residence." Yao Xiaoren brought another shocking news to the emperor.
The emperor was a little stunned.
Huo Dibing not only did not die, but the 50,000 soldiers who unloaded their armor did not return to their respective hometowns.
The placement of these 50,000 soldiers was handled by Yao Xiaoren.
So, Yao Xiaoren, this old guy, has been deceiving himself?
Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes immediately appeared with anger.
"Your Majesty is angry, many people know the truth of what happened back then, and it is already a great merit that Huo Dizhi was able to escape with 50,000 soldiers."
"The minister did something to hide from His Majesty, but the minister dared to vouch for his life, and the minister was only for the peace of the Ming Empire." Yao Xiaoren knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to the emperor.
The second prince's face was pale.
Yao Xiaoren did that for the peace of the Ming Empire?
What does he mean by that?
Could it be that Huo was still ready to come back and clean himself up when he was sick?
He is the second prince of the Ming Dynasty and the master of his illness.
The emperor squinted his eyes slightly, he understood the meaning of Yao Xiaoren's words.
When he didn't deal with the second prince back then, he must have made Huo Dibing and the 50,000 surviving soldiers angry.
Maybe Yao Xiaoren was uneasy to soothe those people, I'm afraid something happened at that time.
At that time, Huo Dizhi's prestige in the army was unparalleled, if he raised his arms and shouted......
The emperor didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Then when you talk about this today, are you going to let Huo Dibing come back with those 50,000 soldiers?" The emperor's gaze was gloomy.
A lot of things were decided as soon as the brain was hot.
It's too late to turn back now.
"Your Majesty Shengming, if you can persuade Huo Dibing to re-lead the troops, my Daming will not only have 50,000 available veterans, but also have the invincible God of War again." Yao Xiaoren kowtowed.
There was silence in the upper study.
Not a single one spoke.
Back then, Huo Di's army was defeated, and no one spoke for him, and now he wants to invite him back, basically there is no such possibility.
But now the Ming Dynasty has not been able to gather 50,000 men and horses for a while, if you don't invite Huo to get rid of the disease, he will attack the Ming border army once the Great Chu Empire attacks.
The Ming border army is afraid that it will be difficult to stop.
If you can invite Huo to get rid of his illness, Li Fengxian, the unparalleled general of the Great Chu Empire, seems to be less terrifying.
"Prime Minister, what do you want?" The emperor spoke again and asked Yao Xiaoren.
Yao Xiaoren got up and his eyes fell on the second prince.
The second prince's whole body tensed, and his face showed nervousness.
"Your Majesty, why don't you invite a few highnesses over and let them invite Huo Qu to come back."
"In this way, Huo Qubing can also know His Majesty's intentions."
"What does Your Majesty think?" Yao Xiaoren said with a smile.
"Father, son-in-law is not well......"
"Shut up!" Before the second prince finished speaking, he was reprimanded by the emperor.
The emperor stared at Yao Xiaoren, he felt that Yao Xiaoren should not be so simple, he just wanted to invite Huo Qu to come back.
But......
The emperor's eyes suddenly flashed, and he thought of Chen Changfeng going to the Black Armor Guard today, and ......
"Prime Minister, if I remember correctly, there is a guy named Chen Qingzhi in the Black Armor Guard, who was Huo Di's apprentice back then......" The emperor's voice sounded slowly.
Uncle Liu's eyes were shining, and he suddenly woke up at this moment.
The second prince and the third prince all changed their complexions.
They were still thinking about how Yao Xiaoren, who was so good, would let them, the princes, invite Huo to come back.
Dare to love is such an intention.
Back then, Huo Dizhi accepted Chen Qingzhi as an apprentice, and the relationship between master and apprentice was very good.
In the year when Huo Dizhi went on the expedition, Chen Qingzhi happened to be arranged by Huo Dizhi to the Black Armor Guard.
Huo Di had an accident, and Chen Qingzhi stayed in Heijiawei.
But the two of them didn't have much to worry about, Huo Quzhi hadn't contacted Chen Qingzhi for so many years, which shows how deep Huo Quzhi's hatred for the Ming Dynasty was.
Even if Chen Qingzhi followed Chen Changfeng to invite Huo Quai, Huo Quzhi would not agree to go out of the mountain.
"That's your majesty, but if you want to invite Huo Qu to go out of the mountain, I'm afraid it's not that simple, so the minister still wants to ask a few princes to work hard."
"After all, this matter is related to the life and death of my Daming." Yao Xiaoren did not perfunctory the emperor's speculation, but linked this matter with the life and death of the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor was silent, and went to the study for a full twenty breaths before he heard the emperor speak: "Just do what the prime minister says." ”
