Chapter 381: Emperor Wu's former minister, repaying the Han with his life; 70,000 soldiers, all corporal punishment? (Ask for subscription)
The recital signed by Su Wu and Fu Jiezi is very thick, so it is divided into many sheets of paper.
The first part of the book is to report peace.
The people who followed Su Wu, Fu Jiezi and others to the Western Regions were all safe and sound.
Liu Aiji, Guo Jie, and Ruan Yang are in Gaoping County at the moment, staying with the Chinese army under Zhao Chongguo's command.
This made Liu He feel some peace of mind in his heart, as long as these people can live, it is the best result.
The second part is the playpiece.
Before the Fifth Route Army left the fortress, the Su Fu delegation arrived at the Xiongnu court in the extreme north after a lot of hardships.
After some Han and Han merchants and Han merchants mediated and covered up, they finally found Su Wu's son and Li Ling in the Xiongnu territory.
When they handed over the letter written by Liu He to Li Ling, Li Ling, a "traitor to the Han Dynasty" who had left the Han Dynasty for nearly 20 years, wept bitterly on the spot and finally agreed to return to the Han Dynasty.
The third part is funeral.
This Li Ling, who was willing to return to Han, died, and the time of this death was almost the same as the time in the original historical trajectory.
Of course, did not die of the plague as in the original.
Rather, he died by the blade - by the sword of the Huns.
And Li Ling's death is closely related to the great victory brought by Zhao Chongguo's department.
It turned out that when Li Ling was about to leave the Xiongnu court with Su Fu's mission, he accidentally learned the secret of someone in the Han Dynasty colluding with the Xiongnu Shan Yuting.
In order to repay the kindness of the Son of Heaven's reconstruction, Li Ling insisted on staying in Shan Yuting to investigate the news, so he delayed his return to Han.
In the end, the information that Fan Minh You had collusion with the Huns was successfully delivered to Su Wu and others, and what Li Ling did happened happened and finally died in the hands of the Huns.
Even the corpse was not recovered.
So, with this news, the Su Fu delegation once again went through a lot of hardships, and when the first snow fell in Chang'an City, they joined Zhao Chongguo's department, and handed over the information that Li Ling exchanged for his life to Zhao Chongguo.
And earlier, Liu He had sent someone to send a letter to Zhao Chongguo, telling him that he was going to seize power with Huo Guang.
In addition, Fan Mingyou and Tian Guangming have been patrolling the northern edge of Mobei, which already makes Zhao Chongguo suspicious.
Combining these three things, Zhao Chongguo, who was "scheming and calculating", sharply analyzed the conspiracy of Fan Mingyou, Tian Guangming and others.
So, at the great risk of missing the deadline and resisting the edict, Zhao Chongguo resolutely decided to return to Han, and finally set off from Hangai Mountain with an army of 30,000 and rushed to Lingwu City for several days.
The hard work paid off, and Zhao Chongguo's department really caught up with the rebellion of Fan Mingyou and others.
And then there was the big victory that followed.
Liu He finally finished reading the letter, and all the mysteries in his heart were solved at this moment.
He stood up from the couch, walked to the door of the greenhouse hall under Liu De's puzzled gaze, and looked intently to the north.
Li Ling, the person who should have followed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to disappear in the torrent of time, is still gone after all.
So far, the people who have witnessed the glorious and aggressive era of Emperor Xiaowu have all withered.
Liu He felt that he had made a wrong decision a few months ago.
After all, Li Ling is no longer a person of this era, and the controversy he bears may not be something that his own son of heaven can quell.
If Su Wu and Fu Jiezi really brought Li Ling back to the Han Dynasty, it would probably still be difficult to clear his charge of treason.
No matter what Liu He does, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among many people in the court, and then affect his prestige as the son of heaven.
Now, Li Ling died in the territory of the Huns, but he used his life to make the last contribution to the Han Dynasty.
Li Ling's clansmen had already been killed by Emperor Xiaowu, and Liu He had no way to add them to the rank of knight.
But maybe the moment Li Ling closed his eyes, the guilt he felt about Dahan in his heart would at least be reduced a lot.
Liu He remembered that Li Cheng, the great-grandson of another branch of the Fei General Li Guang, was still alive, and he should be serving as a Lang official in Guanglu Temple at this moment.
If he has the opportunity in the future, Liu He can credit him with this credit.
At this time, the Son of Heaven remembered the handwritten letter he had sent to Li Ling.
In addition to the old-fashioned scenes that the king often said to his courtiers, Liu He probably did the most over-the-top is to take the gift of the younger generation, and apologize to Li Ling on behalf of his uncle Li Guangli, who has never met.
Perhaps, it was Liu He's slightly crazy move that finally made Li Ling make up his mind to return to Han.
And this determination prompted Li Ling to return to Chang'an with a great merit and a very honorable and dignified achievement, so he caused his death.
No matter what the process is, this part of Li Ling's wish to serve the Han Dynasty has finally come true.
Liu He looked at the sky in the north and saw a white cloud hanging down in the sky, gradually dyed blood red by the sun.
Perhaps, under that distant white cloud, is the burial place of Li Ling's body.
One day, the Han army will once again break through the Xiongnu Shan Yuting and build a mausoleum for Li Ling.
Those who know my sins are only spring and autumn.
Liu He is not qualified to evaluate Li Ling, and many people are not qualified to evaluate Li Ling.
Li Ling, who had experienced three dynasties, passed away, and the merits and demerits were naturally handed over to future generations and history books to comment.
……
When Liu He silently mourned the old man he had never seen, Zhang Anshi and the others finally came to the greenhouse palace.
They didn't know why the Son of Heaven looked solemn, so they all solemnly saluted the Son of Heaven, not daring to have the slightest neglect.
"A few Aiqing, the wind outside the hall is too strong, I'll wait until I enter the hall to talk."
"No!"
Soon, the monarchs and ministers took their seats in the greenhouse hall.
Fan Ke stood outside the door, and Han De stood beside the Son of Heaven.
Liu He did not rush to take out those letters, but first introduced Han De to these courtiers who are now important and will become pillars of the court in the future.
After the Son of Heaven said Han De's merits, even if it was Zhang Anshi and others, they kept being amazed, and praised Han De again and again for his demeanor as a general.
This made Han De, who was only an adopted son, a little restrained and nervous.
Liu He finished talking about all the foreshadowing and foreshadowing, so he naturally got to the point, took out the four letters he received, and showed them to these courtiers one by one.
A quarter of an hour later, the courtiers had finished reading them all, and they were naturally overjoyed, and even more happy for the rest of their lives.
In the past half a month, although the matter of reversing Huo has been going very smoothly, it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes on the way, which will keep several people awake at night.
At this time, he suddenly saw the good news and learned that Fan Tian's two parties had been wiped out, so he naturally let go of the huge stone in his heart.
But that's not the end of the story.
Huo Guang is alive, Huo Yu is alive, and there are many Huo Dang alive...... Some of them were suspended, some were imprisoned, and some were imprisoned in the government.
But after all, he is still alive.
There are too many people involved, and it's not just a matter of killing one Huo Guang to sit back and relax.
Who, how, and how many to kill......
It's a science.
Just like today's Beidi County and Anding County, in addition to the rebels who were killed, there were as many as forty or fifty thousand rebels captured by Zhao Chongguo and Han Zeng.
Are these ordinary soldiers really rebels?
You can't kill them all.
Zhang Anshi looked at each other a few times in a very tacit understanding, and immediately understood what the Son of Heaven had summoned them for.
From today onwards, there is no possibility for the Huo Party to make a comeback, and what they have to worry about next is how to give the Huo Party a final ending.
At the same time, it is necessary to give an ending to those ordinary pavilion soldiers who are engulfed in.
"Guess what I'm worried about at this time—Wei Qing, can you tell me?" Liu He asked.
"Weichen is bold, presumably His Majesty is distressed by the tens of thousands of captured rebels." Wei Xiang in a word.
"Wei Gong, who knows me, but there is one thing, Wei Gong is afraid that he is wrong." Liu He said with a smile.
"Listen to Your Majesty's advice." Wei Xiang hurriedly asked.
"Not 50,000, but 70,000."
The faces of the people showed a trace of puzzlement, they didn't know where the 20,000 people mentioned by the Son of Heaven came from.
"A few days ago, I sent Dai Zong to Shuofang County to investigate the military situation, I just came back last night, Tian Shun's grain and grass were exhausted, and he collapsed without a fight, and he was defeated under Wuyuan City, Tian Shun died in the chaos, and all the men and horses were captured and detained in Wuyuan."
This is even more good news, Zhang Anshi and others are surprised and happy.
It is surprising that the Son of Heaven actually knew the news so early, and the joy is that the military disaster has finally been eliminated.
"How do you think Wei Qing should deal with these 70,000 people?"
Wei Xiang did not hesitate at all, and immediately gave his own answer: "Naturally, it should be punished as conspiracy, even if the law is not responsible for the public, so that they are exempt from being beheaded, but they should still be severely punished, and Weichen feels that corporal punishment can be resumed." ”
