Chapter 48: The Martial King is not as simple as it seems
"You mean that Wei Wushu broke the 300,000 Zhao army with 30,000?"
"And this Wei Wushu still belongs to the command of the martial king Zhao Hongming? Dad, you're not kidding me, how can that unfavored fifth prince do this? ”
In the Daliang Huo Mansion, Huo Xianshui stared at the middle-aged man standing in front of him, his eyes were full of disbelief.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a black silk robe, with a pair of thin hands exposed under the wide robe, and his whole body revealed a serious and decisive atmosphere, calm and profound.
This person is none other than Huo Yu, the general of Wei - the only person in Wei who has been named a general for his innate realm cultivation.
As a general with a low level of cultivation, he does not have the qualifications to argue with the imperial court, and he can get to this point mostly because of the power of his family.
Now that the war around Wei is over, Emperor Jian'an transferred him back to Daliang on the grounds that Siye is too peaceful and wants to recuperate, and the intention behind it is self-evident.
It's just that he didn't expect to hear such information before he returned to Daliang, which made his already bad mood even more unhappy.
"I'm not kidding you." General Huo Yu said with a solemn expression: "This is the news I got from the county lieutenant of Yingjun, and there will be no mistakes." ”
"If that's all there is to it, that's fine. What's more critical is that after this battle, all my arrangements in the Eastern Army were burned, and Lu Zonghui of the Eastern Army also died under the chaos. ”
"The current Eastern Army has been completely handed over to Cen Xiu, and it will be difficult for our Huo family to intervene in the entire Eastern Army in the future." Huo Yu let out a long sigh and said, "Zhao Yuxu recalled me to Daliang at this time, which is a very bad signal. If the ancestor dies, maybe our Huo family will face a catastrophe. ”
"Huh?" Huo Xianshui exclaimed, and after a short silence, he said, "Dad, maybe the matter is not as serious as you say, right?" ”
"Maybe it's a little worse." Huo Yu said worriedly: "Our Emperor His Majesty is not one of the wine bags and rice bags of Zhao State, judging from his bloody methods last year, now he still firmly controls the power of the court and the royal family." ”
"Our private actions over the years may not have escaped Zhao Yuxu's eyes. Now His Royal Highness the Martial King is exactly like him, and when he arrives at the border, he can still control a strong army. They are father and son, one inside and one outside, one static and one moving, it is hard not to think about it. ”
"Recently, I even heard that in the imperial court, Zhao Fuxu already has the idea of establishing Zhao Hongming, the king of martial arts, as the crown prince."
Huo Xianshui persuaded: "Dad, since the founding of the Wei State, none of the princes who have been crowned kings have been canonized as princes, so you don't have to worry too much." ”
"This Martial King is far from being as simple as it seems! Zhao Yuxu's attitude towards him is obviously different from that of other princes, and there are secrets that we don't know. ”
"I think this time the Wei army defeated Li Mu, as well as the eradication of the Eastern Army Lu Zonghui, I am afraid that it is all the handiwork of this martial king."
Huo Yu glanced at Huo Xianshui and said with emotion: "If only you could marry the fifth prince last year." At that time, the five princes were still inconspicuous, and they were not valued by Zhao Yuxu, with the status and means of our Huo family, if it were not for the Korean assassins at that time, they could definitely become a family affair with the five princes, and there might be one more card in their hands today, and it would not be the current situation. ”
When he said this, Huo Yu was quite regretful.
Huo Xian subconsciously looked at his legs and remained silent.
Now her leg has been restored after being repaired by a famous doctor, but the experience of that day still makes her remember it deeply and she does not want to remember it.
However, even if there were no Korean assassins who cut off her legs at that time, with her personality, she would definitely not agree to Zhao Hongming at that time.
Zhao Hongming is nameless with each other, and there is no mother concubine behind him, no matter from which point of view, he will only be an idle prince with no potential in the future.
Even if she gets along with her, she will be an idle princess at best.
What people have achieved now is not what she could have expected at the time.
I can only say that I was blind at that time.
Now that Zhao Hongming has shown his head, if Emperor Jian'an really wants to make him the crown prince, then a woman who is more beautiful than her, more powerful than her, and a woman who is taller than her can be chosen by Zhao Hongming.
It's not like that.
I couldn't help but feel a little lost in my heart.
……
Qianqing Palace of Wei State.
The faces of Emperor Jian'an and his ministers were filled with the joy of the spring breeze, and it was obvious that they had already received the news that the Wei army had taken down the thirty cities of Zhao State.
Speaking of which, this is still a rare big victory for Emperor Jian'an since he ascended the throne, and it can even be flaunted in the annals of history, which makes many court officials happy.
Emperor Jian'an Zhao Fuxu sat on the dragon chair and asked, "King Wu and General Cen Xiu have both written to me, hoping to confer Wu Qi as the right general, what do you think Aiqing?" ”
Regarding this matter, in fact, before Zhao Fuxu opened the early dynasty, he had a round of discussions with Xiao Boling, the right Cheng of Zhongshu, and Hong Daowen, the left of Zhongshu, and they were confirmed.
At this time, I will run this matter out in the morning, just implement the final result and go through the process.
Xiao Boling, the right man in the middle book, took a step forward and said: "Wu Qi trained Wei Wushu, broke the Zhao army of 300,000 with 30,000 Wei soldiers, and now he has followed Cen Xiu to conquer the territory of Zhao State, and even 30 cities. Such a result is enough to seal the general. ”
Zhongshu Zuo Cheng Hong Daowen stood up and debuted: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”
Important core officials such as Chen Mou, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Yu Hezheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also chose to agree.
Emperor Jian'an suddenly became happy, and happily ordered: "Gonggong Feng, I will give Wu Qi the post of the right general of Wei Guozhen, and I will use it under King Wu." ”
"Minions, obey!"
"There is another matter, I also need to discuss it with Zhong Aiqing." Emperor Jian'an continued to ask: "Now that our Wei army has captured the thirty cities of Zhao State, do Zhong Aiqing think that our Wei army should continue to move north?" ”
Yu Hezheng, the secretary of the military department and the Shaobao, stood up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen feels that our goal of teaching Zhao Guo has been achieved, and we should not continue to wage war with Zhao State. ”
When Emperor Jian'an heard such remarks, he immediately frowned and said, "Yu Shaobao said in detail." ”
Yu Hezheng continued: "Your Majesty, now there are only a hundred thousand Wei troops who have captured the entire thirty cities in Hedong, and they have penetrated deep into the hinterland of Zhao State, far away from the territory of Wei State, and the logistics cost is already a large number. If it continues like this, I am afraid that it will drag down the taxes of Yingjun and other border places. Weichen believes that this war is relatively hasty, and it is not easy to get today's Warring States, and it should be accepted when it is good. ”
When Hubu Shangshu heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that we should continue to attack Zhao. Our Wei army's 30,000 defeated Li Mu's 300,000 army, which shows that Li Mu is actually a waste of fame, and the entire Zhao State is also in vain. The fighter plane is fleeting, we should take advantage of the momentum of victory, expand the results of the battle in time, and make immortal achievements; if we retreat at this time, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future.
