[Vol. 1] Verse 121: The Conspiracy of the Horse

------------

Tian Wei, Han Anguo's position is a long-suppressed decision made by Liu Che alone, but this is not the end.

On the one hand, he adjusted the power structure of the DPRK and China, and on the other hand, he also made military arrangements.

At the beginning of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, he transferred the famous border generals Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi to the capital to guard the two palaces, and spent nearly six years getting familiar with these two generals, and at the same time gaining their loyalty.

Liu Che felt very clearly that Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi were two generals with very different styles. Li Guang's lax governance of the army, so the soldiers broke the law repeatedly prohibited, but despite this, Li Guang was able to share weal and woe with the soldiers, coupled with natural divine power, there was the courage of ten thousand people, and there was an extraordinary strategy, and his heroism and deeds won him the love of the soldiers from the heart. When soldiers go to the battlefield, they don't have to abide by any military rules and tactics, and it is enough to do one thing, that is, to sacrifice their lives to kill the enemy and break their bones.

Cheng Buzhi is very different, Cheng Buzhi governs the army very strictly, rewards and punishments are strict, and none of the training can be reduced, and there is no mistake in what should be observed. The army trained by Cheng Buzhi was neatly organized, and its combat effectiveness was not inferior to Li Guangbu's.

Although there is a big difference in the style of the two, Liu Che is still more at ease with them, for him, regardless of Li Jun and Cheng Jun, the army that can fight tough battles is the ideal army in his heart.

In the second year after the death of Old Lady Dou, that is, in the first year of Yuanguang (134 BC), Liu Che thought that the court situation was already under his control, and it was tantamount to a waste to put Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi in the positions of Changle Weiwei and Weiyang Weiwei, and a famous general like this should be sent to the place where they were most needed.

After some thought, Liu Che officially issued an edict. Li Guang was appointed as the cavalry general and went to Yunzhong to guard the tun on the same day, while Cheng did not know the general of the chariot cavalry at the Yanmen.

Yunzhong and Yanmen are important towns on the border, the Huns invaded, here is the only way, now there are two famous generals guarding, the Huns temporarily restrained the banditry behavior, temporarily stopped the incursion.

Of course, Liu Che's decision was not only based on the consideration of the overall situation, but also out of a famous plan, known as the "Ma Yi Strategy", but Liu Che took this opportunity to transfer the famous generals out of the capital, saving him from being idle and causing trouble.

The mastermind of Ma Yi's conspiracy is surnamed Wang Minghui, and he is in charge of the great order.

Wang Hui knew with his understanding of Liu Che that although the emperor was young, he was ambitious and had the posture to fight the Huns. And as a senior cadre from Yandi, he empathizes with the harm of the Xiongnu more than anyone else.

Wang Hui still clearly remembers that in the sixth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the Xiongnu sent envoys to Chang'an to ask for peace, and Liu Che took great pains to make a court debate, and the topic of the court debate was the peace strategy that had been maintained for seventy or eighty years.

At that time, all the people didn't know what was going on, whether they were and whether they were beating their ancestors had already been decided, why bother messing around, many people thought that Liu Che was idle at that time and wanted to find something to refresh himself.

Therefore, the atmosphere of court debate can be imagined, and the courtiers were overwhelmingly in favor of peace.

Only Wang Hui jumped out and sang the opposite, and this is exactly what the young Liu Che wants to express the most.

In his opinion, if it is peaceful today, the country is rich and the people are strong, why can't you fight?

Liu Che looked at Wang Hui appreciatively, hoping that he would reveal his point of view, and he could learn from it the true thoughts of the ministers of the DPRK and China. He wanted to find out whether the ministers were war-weary or war-weary, or were they not ready to fight.

Wang Hui quickly expressed his opinion, he has worked in Yandi Border Pass for most of his life, and knows the temperament of the Xiongnu, this nation not only has a fierce and murderous nature, but also has the characteristics of turning his face and not admitting it. They marry your princess today, and tomorrow they will set fire to your house, kill your people, and solve the Hun problem forever, and there is only one way, to beat them down, so that they can never get up.

Wang Hui's appeal was unanimously opposed by the old ministers, and Han Anguo could not hold back it, realizing that if he did not quickly extinguish such remarks, once the emperor's belligerent mood was aroused, something would happen.

Han Anguo put forward a different military opinion, and everyone knew that Han Anguo had blocked the 200,000 troops of the Wu-Chu coalition army in the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, and his military views would be more convincing.

Han Anguo said, "Sending troops for thousands of miles is not good for the army. Moreover, the whereabouts of the Xiongnu are difficult to determine and it is difficult to fight. In addition, even if we get the land of the Xiongnu, what about the population, that is, we cannot increase our land and strengthen our national strength, they do not belong to us since ancient times. Moreover, thousands of miles of running, the men and horses are tired, but the Huns can wait for work, so our army will be in danger. The minister thinks that it is most appropriate to be friendly! ”

Before Han Anguo's voice fell, he ushered in a chorus of echoes, and Wang Hui couldn't find a suitable reason to refute for a while, so he could only look at Liu Che to make a conclusion.

Everyone knows that no matter how much the court debate is, the decision-making power is still in the hands of the emperor, and if he can make a final decision, all the remarks that seem to be the way can only be treated as a fart.

Liu Che didn't make a decision right away, from a military point of view, Han Anguo's words are not unreasonable, he has never been on the battlefield, but he also knows the reason that thousands of miles of soldiers are tired. But emotionally speaking, he agrees with Wang Hui, a dignified man, should he always be oppressed by the barbarian tribe? Defeating the Huns is not only the dream of several generations of ancestors, but also the dream of him Liu Che!

After a long time, Liu Che finally suppressed his boiling emotions and made a rational decision, he agreed to continue to make peace.

The result obviously disappointed Wang Hui of the main battle faction, but he will still stick to his point of view, even if he dies nine times.

In the first year of Yuanguang, Wang Hui finally waited for a news that made him extremely excited, Wang Hui's friend Mayi squire Nie Weng Yi reported to him that in the past year, the military minister Shan Yu has a sense of trust in the border people, and he can freely enter and exit the Xiongnu royal court.

He hurriedly went to Weiyang Palace to meet Liu Che and reported the plan to Liu Che.

Liu Che immediately clapped his hands and applauded, but in view of the importance of the matter, he still urgently summoned the minister to the court to discuss the matter.

When Liu Che told Wang Hui's plan, everyone was stunned, wasn't it clear that he was going to declare war with the Xiongnu head-on? In other words, once the plan is implemented, it means that the peace and kinship will be thrown into the pile of old papers as history.

As expected, as in the previous court meeting, the courtiers were almost overwhelmingly opposed to the war, but this time the reaction was much more fierce than before.

Although Wang Hui is alone, he still insists on his own opinion, he talks about the past and the present, pointing out that it is now a unified country, but the Huns have repeatedly violated the border, and there is no other reason, just because they have no fear of our Han, so they must fight if they have the opportunity.

Liu Che nodded.

I saw Prime Minister Tian Wei bowing his head in contemplation, and the Lord and the faction knew that he had no long-term strategy, and he had to be a turtle with a shrunken head every major event, so they all looked at Han Anguo, the imperial historian.

In the eyes of everyone's expectation, Han Anguo really stood up against it.

Wang Hui obviously came prepared, he learned the lesson of the last time, no matter what the other party's opinion was, he thought of a countermeasure.

After some arguments, Han Anguo saw that he couldn't convince the other party, so he could only remind him not to forget the historical lesson of Gaozu's seven-day predicament.

Wang Hui smiled softly, and with Gaozu's "I can't do it, so I don't have the heart of the world", he pushed Han Anguo back, making Han Anguo's face turn blue and unrecognizable.

After seeing the dispute between the two sides, Liu Che finally expressed his position, he thought that Wang Hui was right, and he made a decision.

In fact, he had already made a decision, and convened the court meeting so carefully was nothing more than to tell the ministers his thoughts through Wang Hui, and there was another benefit to letting Wang Hui mention it, in case of failure, there would be someone to bear the blame for himself.

The matter was thus decided, with the imperial historian Han Anguo as the commander, the Daxing Wang Hui, the flying general Li Guang, the servant Sun He, and the Taizhong doctor Li Xi will all participate in the military operation to encircle and annihilate the Xiongnu.

The edict was issued, and within a few days, 300,000 Han troops were transferred from all over the country to lay an ambush near Mayi, waiting for the military ministers to step into the trap with one foot in the army.

If nothing else, the first major battle of the Han-Hungarian dispute will be staged in the small border city of Mayi.

At this moment, the whole court is holding their breath and waiting for the wind and grass from Mayi, and people are waiting to see what kind of result the first battle between Han and Hungary will end? Will it be a victory or a defeat? Is it a big win or a big defeat? No one can give an answer, and what is certain at the moment is that, won or lost, the Battle of Mayi is not the end, but the beginning.

One of the key figures in this battle, Nie Weng Yi, a squire of Mayi, was going to the court of the Xiongnu and throwing bait. His actions were already the difference between the success and failure of Ma Yi's scheme.
