Chapter 366: The Royal Road

To the south of the Great Wall, the snow has been reduced a lot, with only a few points falling.

A stagecoach is riding in the direction of Jinyang against the wind and frost, the corners of the horse's mouth have been foaming at the mouth, but the post horse is still whipping the horse's buttocks, and the towering city wall of Jinyang City is in front of him!

In the dark twilight, this majestic city is like a monstrous beast lurking in the shadows, which is formidable.

“…… Eight hundred miles of urgency! Yang Yan and Da Xi Changru pursued thousands of miles outside the Saiwai, and Wang Shi broke the Eastern Turks! ”

The post guard shouted at the city gate with his throat, running all the way, he didn't know how many times he repeated this battle training, his voice was hoarse, but he was still full of energy, and the guards above the city pass heard it clearly.

When the guard guarding the north gate of Jinyang heard the news, he ordered someone to transport the post guard outside the city with a hanging basket, and asked a few more words, and after understanding that what the post guard said was accurate, he ordered loudly with a happy face: "This brother has come all the way, it is really hard, you immediately arrange warm soup, food and lodging for him, and entertain others, and I will submit the war report to the governor!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

I secretly thought in my heart, just today during the day, the governor was still worried about the military situation, saying that it was unwise for the imperial army to go out of the fortress in winter to fight with the enemy in the field, and Daxi Changru and Yang Yan fought with the Eastern Turks without strong support, not to mention the futility, and the loss of troops was almost predictable...... Now that this battle report is presented, I don't know what the Governor's expression will be.

It's been a long-time coming.

If what the governor said became a reality, the governor would naturally be able to impeach Pei Shiju, Su Wei, and even Gao Xi for recklessness and underestimation of the enemy, and naturally there would be sufficient reasons to shirk the imperial court's move to confiscate military power;

But if the governor is wrong, and Daxi Changru really completed the feat of subduing the Turks with only a few troops, then the Turks' threat to the border fortress of Daqi in the future will also be reduced in a straight line, and the significance of the existence of the metropolitan governor will be dispensable.

There will undoubtedly be a great restriction on the powers of the Metropolitan Governors, and the days when the Metropolitan Governors would be able to speak the same way and follow the law in the local area will be gone forever.

In fact, the Governor and Su Wei have been fighting to this point, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Governor has fallen into an absolute disadvantage, and His Majesty has not directly issued a decree to deprive the Governor of his powers is already for the sake of caring for his brother's affection, if he refuses to bow his head again, I am afraid that even a Prince of Peace will not be able to do it! You have to find a way to persuade the governor well!

At this time, in the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, the door of the warm pavilion was still open, and Su Wei moved a rocking chair and nested lazily on it. His student, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is endorsing.

The little fat man came to Jinyang and thought that he could let himself go away from the eyes of the queen mother, but the truth was cruel and ruthless, since he secretly followed Uncle Wang out hunting and was discovered, Su Wei raised his schoolwork a full triple!

Not only to read Confucius and Mencius, but also to be familiar with all kinds of history books, after the next morning to hand in a piece of yesterday's experience, it is said that this is the father of the emperor, to paraphrase the words of the father, let's call it a "diary".

When you hear it, it's not a serious thing!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't want to write, but the authority of the Prince Master was strong, and Su Wei looked like a bad person on his face, but once he touched on the issue of principle, he would not give an inch, and after suffering a few secret losses, the Prince had lost interest in competing with him.

Before going to bed, it is a time period for phonics to read history books. Su Wei is not only neat, but also has a unique vision of education, he found that the prince was tired of those boring scriptures, so he changed a set of ways to mobilize the prince's enthusiasm for learning, and tonight the master and apprentice discussed Xiang Yu Benji and Gaozu Benji around the stove.

When appraising Xiang Yu and Liu Bang as to which is better or worse, the master and apprentice had a dispute. The prince was young and admired power, so he thought that Xiang Yu was a hero and far superior to Liu Bang. But Su Wei sneered at Xiang Yu, saying that Xiang Yu didn't even have the qualifications to lift shoes for Han Gaozu, Gao Heng immediately widened his eyes angrily and asked Su Wei to give an explanation.

Su Wei shook his fan and replied without being salty: "... Xiang Yu was brutal and murderous, stubborn and self-serving, after destroying Qin, he killed and surrendered pawns, connived at the soldiers to burn and loot, and lost the hearts of the people. He is strong and resolute on the surface, but in fact he is indecisive, Fan Zeng, a strategist who thinks about him can't help this mess, and on the other hand, Han Gaozu, up to the generals, down to the people, are all happy and convinced, for their use, isn't this Liu Bang has the talent of the emperor? Under the rule of Xiang Yu, the army is reckless, mourning is everywhere, under the rule of Liu Bang, there are three chapters of the law, and the people are safe, only this one, the judgment is made! ”

After speaking, he glanced at Gao Heng with a little meaning: "Sun Tzu has a cloud in the art of war, where the way of using soldiers, galloping thousands of cars, leather cars thousands of times, with 100,000 armor, and thousands of miles of food." The cost of inside and outside, the use of guests, the talent of glue paint, the dedication of car armor, the daily cost of thousands of gold, and then the teacher of 100,000 yuan. ”

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang confronted each other for a long time, fighting on all sides, it seems that the two sides are maintaining a draw, in fact, Xiang Yu has fallen into the disadvantage, the Chu army has fought for thousands of miles, and the logistics are particularly heavy, Xiang Yu in order to defeat Liu Bang, he did not hesitate to conquer the tyrannical and resentful of the people of Chu, Peng Yue, Lu Juan and other generals broke into Chu again, attacked the city and pulled out the village, so that the Chu army was annoyed. Not only that, Lu Juan also took the opportunity to rein in the Chu people and implement the Han government, so that the Chu people rushed to join each other, and Xiang Yu's hearts were lost! This is also the reason why hundreds of thousands of Chu troops are becoming weaker and weaker the more they fight...... When Liu Bang wants him to die, he will not necessarily die, but if the people under his rule want him to die, then he will definitely not live! ”

"Those who are good at fighting in the past are invincible first, and then they are invincible when the enemy is victorious. You can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy. Han Gaozu really understood this truth," Su Wei saw that the prince was in thought, and said step by step: "The prince has heard His Majesty talk about the Three Kingdoms, and he must also know that Uncle Liu Huang 'every time he rebels, great things can be accomplished', Xiang Yu treats the people like cattle and horses, and Han Gaozu treats the people a little better, so Xiang Yu falls into the disadvantage." ”

"Xiang Yu is really as recorded in the history books? It is important to know that history books are also written by people, so those who write history books will definitely be impartial, objective and fair? The prince was already half convinced, but he still argued.

Su Wei shook his head: "History books can't be wrong. ”

"Then Sima Gong also said that Liu Bang was born to his mother and a dragon! Emperor Shenwu is also the founding son of heaven, could it be that he was also born of a dragon? ”

"The birth of the emperor and general can be mythical, but the historical facts are irrefutable," Su Wei smiled: "Peng Yue attacked Wai Huang, the people of Wai Huang surrendered, Xiang Yu regained Wai Huang, and according to the previous habit, all the men over the age of fifteen in Wai Huang were driven to the east of the city, ready to be killed." Wai Huang Yi Zhizi persuaded in front of Xiang Yu, saying that Peng Yue attacked Wai Huang, Wai Huang had no choice but to submit, just to wait for the arrival of the king, but when the king came, he wanted to kill all the people, and from then on, where would the people be willing to surrender to the king? As soon as Xiang Yu heard the reason, he pardoned those people. ”

Su Wei showed a mocking look on his face: "Waihuang Xiao'er understands the truth, Xiang Yu lived to be twenty-eight years old and still didn't understand, such a person dares to be the king and hegemon, and he is not far from death!" ”

Gao Heng was convinced, and then asked rhetorically: "Although Xiang Yu is small and can't tolerate people, is Liu Bang much better, and a general like Han Xin will inevitably end up hiding his bow, can he really be called the master?" ”

Su Wei still looked like an unfathomable stinky fart, he shook his head and said: "In the past, someone reported Han Xin's rebellion, wasn't it Han Xin's former subordinates who jumped out to persuade Liu Bang to kill Han Xin?" It can be seen that Han Xin does have a way to die. ”

"From Han Gaozu's standpoint, just by sitting and watching the success or failure of Xingyang and refusing to send troops, it is enough for him to die without a place to be buried...... Not to mention that later Han Xin also sent troops under the condition that the Tian clan promised to surrender, killing Li Shiqi, which led to turmoil in Qidi, and the Han army almost fell into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back. ”

"From the eyes of the generals of the Han army, Han Xin did not save Xingyang, resulting in the tragic killing of Jixin and Zhou Ke, how could the friends, relatives and friends of Jixin and others not hate Han Xin? This is one! Han Xin repeatedly refused the edict to hold his troops still, and when he was willing to send troops, the momentum of Chu and Han was a foregone conclusion, causing his generals to lose a lot of opportunities to gain credit...... Not to mention, many generals and Xiang Yu fought desperately to the death, and they didn't even have a title until Xiang Yu was defeated, and Han Xin didn't do anything in the back, and he got a prince with his own dignity, how could the generals and soldiers have no complaints? ”

"He jumped from a small soldier to a general, Han Gaozu entrusted his back to him, isn't Han Gaozu good enough for him? And when Han Gaozu was under siege, even if he had a little affection in his heart, he would immediately send troops to Qin Wang, but he supported the army and respected himself, sat back and watched the success or failure, such a person, even if he had great talent, he couldn't use it! ”

Gao Heng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Such a person, I'm afraid that Gu also wants to get rid of him quickly, so why didn't Han Gaozu deal with him early?" Since he was able to take his talisman without Han Shin's knowledge, he could kill him without Han Shin's knowledge. ”

Su Wei also praised this with a face: "This is the pattern of Han Gaozu, he thinks about things, not based on his own likes and dislikes, but from the overall situation, first, he needs a good general like Han Xin to train him to train officers and soldiers, and second, he is afraid that Xiao He will be implicated because of Han Xin's affairs!" ”

"Xiao He is Han Xin's promoter, Han Gaozu killed Han Xin, how can Xiao He deal with himself? He can do without Han Xin, but he can't do without Xiao He! Even if it was for Xiao He, Han Gaozu had to be patient. What kind of hero is Han Gaozu? He has become the supreme ruler of the world, the biggest advantage is that he can recognize people, he is not afraid that Han Xin is a bastard, he is afraid that he will not know that Han Xin is a bastard, since he knows that Han Xin is not credible, then there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as it is controlled properly, Han Xin will not be able to make waves even if he has more soldiers and horses, and he has to work for him obediently! ”

It can be seen from this that the human heart is like water, there is good and evil, everything lies in guidance and control, and if it is properly controlled, those who have two hearts must bow down to their lives, on the contrary, if they indulge too much, no matter how obedient the courtier is, they will also give birth to two hearts. It's all up to the king to rule! ”

Su Wei looked at Gao Heng, his eyes were shining. Gao Heng seemed to hear the deep meaning of his master's words, but he was silent, speechless for a long time, thoughtful. Su Wei didn't disturb him to think, although His Highness was smart, but after all, he was still too immature, and this kind of imperial tricks and methods could only make him slowly comprehend......

After a while, Su Wei just wanted to get up and say goodbye to the prince, and heard someone outside the door say: "Your Highness, King Ande asks to see you!" ”

Su Wei's hand shaking the fan was immediately paused, and now it was about to be time, what did Gao Yanzong want to see the prince so late?
