Chapter 20 Giving it all out is because of respect
"Call for the kitchen spring to meet Your Majesty."
This Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, who once led the iron cavalry across the three rivers, is already very old at this moment.
He was covered in stiffness, on crutches, his eyes were cloudy, and he was almost in the ground.
Many ministers were worried about whether this old man would be able to rush from Yecheng to Chang'an alive, after all, he was here at this age, and more than 30 years had passed since he was forcibly left in Yecheng.
He hadn't returned to his tribe for many years, and maybe even the Huns had forgotten that he still had such a Shan Yu.
The Southern Xiongnu tribes only obey their own commanders, and Hu Chuquan can't be said to be a puppet, he is just an ornament, the kind of bird that no one is.
But Cao Chao still has a lot of respect for this Xiongnu Shan Yu.
In order to show his importance, Cao Chao specially invited his confidant ministers to greet him together.
And the person who came was naturally the new Shang Shufu Shooting Bell Club.
Zhong Hui was standing not far away at the moment, looking at the Xiongnu Shan Yu in front of him with a smile, he couldn't help but raise his head slightly, unable to hide the pride in his heart.
After all, the Wei State was built on the basis of the Han Dynasty, and there was actually a lot of connivance for the elderly, such as the original Gao Rou, because he was too old, the ministers thought it was not suitable to use corporal punishment, so they gave poisoned wine to kill.
At Hu Chuquan's age, he is also a submissive king, and he has been very honest all these years, so there is no need for Cao Chao to humiliate him.
Cao Chao chuckled and returned the salute and sat Hu Chuquan down.
Only then did he speak: "I know that Shan Yu is coming, so I specially invite this person to come and greet me with me." ”
Cao Chao pointed to the Zhonghui on the side.
"This Dingling is the son of the Marquis!"
As soon as these words came out, Hu Chuquan's eyelids jumped, and he bowed to Zhonghui again.
In fact, when he was young, Hu Chuquan was not as peaceful as he is now.
At the beginning, Hu Chuquan launched a rebellion, colluded with Guo Yuan, Gao Gan, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others to launch an attack, and the person responsible for resisting him was Zhong Xuan.
Zhong Miao immediately sent his henchmen to persuade Han Sui and Ma Teng with his own letters, successfully plotted against them, and used their strength to defeat the invading army, beheaded Guo Yuan, and Gao Gan and Hu Chuquan were forced to surrender.
Oh, by the way, the person Ma Teng sent to help Zhong Xuan was his son Ma Chao.
Anyway, Hu Chuquan hasn't rebelled since then.
Later, Cao Cao and Cao Pi were very polite to him, and Cao Cao even once made him a servant, wanting to make him a Hanchen.
Hu Chuquan has been in the Central Plains for so long, and even the clothes are no different from the Central Plains, and the people around him are also arranged by Cao Cao, and he looks no different from those retired ministers.
He even knows some of the classics.
Cao Chao first greeted him, and the two talked about major events in the world.
But when Cao Chao talked about the situation in various places, and even the rectification of officials and other things, Hu Chuquan looked a little dazed.
It seems that Hu Chuquan has not had anything to do with the accident these days.
Cao Chao suddenly laughed.
He no longer hid it, and directly made his words clear.
"Shan Yu, Liu Meng, the commander of the right department, has ill intentions and vainly tries to rebel, and I have ordered General Zhenbei to arrest him."
"The Xiongnu have been attached for many years, and there will still be such a situation, I feel that this is a matter of education, I have removed the original official in charge of education, and let the sage be in charge of this matter."
"This time, Shan Yu was invited to Luoyang, just so that Shan Yu could help with the big things of education."
Hu Chuquan didn't care about these things at all, he had lost his appeal in the Xiongnu tribe, no one cared, and he didn't think about regaining control or anything, he was very old.
In the future, he can live in his mansion in peace and tranquility, and he is already very content.
He opened his mouth and said, "The minister has commanded." ”
This was said very skillfully, and Cao Chao immediately explained many things.
Then someone was sent to take him to rest.
When Lao Shan Yu was helped to leave, Zhong Hui said: "Your Majesty, this person seems to have no intention of making a big deal and is useless. ”
Cao Chao glanced at him in surprise, and then said quietly: "I thought I could use him to remove and dispose of the commanders of the various departments, but it turned out that it was useless." ”
Zhong Hui suddenly woke up, "No, it's still useful, but it's not very useful. ”
Cao Chao didn't say anything more, it seems that Zhonghui has been really busy recently, and he hasn't paid much attention to the affairs of the Huns.
Sure enough, Zhong Hui next talked about the affairs of Shu.
He forced a smile, "Your Majesty, our plan has been a great success, I heard that Liu Chan has canonized Na Zhuge Dan as General Wei, and Lu Shangshu also asked him to reorganize the army inside and outside Chengdu, I think that soon after, he will go to Hanzhong to replace Jiang Wei." ”
"The person we sent also met with Huang Hao, and Huang Hao accepted the gift and didn't say anything."
"The only fly in the ointment is that Zhuge Zhan wrote several times, saying that he had no experience in fighting and could not replace Jiang Wei, I guess that Jiang Wei probably wrote a letter to him, persuading him to stay in Chengdu and not to take risks."
"Jiang Wei is still difficult to deal with, even in such a situation, it can still cause us trouble."
Zhong Hui sighed, but he didn't hide his love for Jiang Wei at all.
"Jiang Boyo is so difficult to deal with, I really don't know how majestic Prime Minister Zhuge was at the beginning."
This late-stage patient of celebrity collecting addiction did not let go of even the dead celebrities.
Zhong Hui really admired Zhuge Liang, in history, after he entered Shu, he deliberately went to worship Zhuge Liang's grave, and forbade the whole army not to disturb his grave, and not to graze horses and chop wood around his grave.
It's a pity that Zhuge Liang is no longer there, and Zhong Hui can only target Jiang Wei.
Zhong Hui continued to speak: "In today's Shu Kingdom, there is only one person who can be called a real celebrity, so we can increase our efforts. ”
"A gentleman like Jiang Wei naturally won't be in the company of Huang Hao and others, as long as he provokes a little, he can make Huang Hao and Jiang Wei completely tear their faces."
"Once his face is torn, Huang Hao will come up with all the ways to restrain Jiang Wei Zhuge Zhan will become his best weapon against Jiang Wei."
"At that time, we don't need to make a move, Jiang Wei will be caught in the middle of infighting, and then we will gather a large army and put pressure from Hanzhong and Yong'an and other directions, and Shu can only be forced to gather a large army to deal with it, we can not rush to attack, but stalemate with them."
"Our food reserves are far superior to theirs, as long as we keep changing the direction of the attack, so that their legions do not dare to go back easily, we can make the Shu people collapse without a fight."
Zhong Hui had a wistful look in his eyes, but he said something extremely unfavorable to Jiang Wei.
When Zhong Hui decided to do something big, he never let his personal feelings delay him.
Even if he likes it, he still has to you, and maybe even because you are too good, let him use all his energy to think about how to beat you.
Cao Chao recognized Zhonghui's strategy.
How to attack Shu is not to say, but it is still necessary to let there be problems within Shu.
Jiang Wei is against Deng Ai, it's hard to say, but Zhuge Zhan is against Deng Ai, so let's ask for more blessings.
At this moment, Wei also began to make many arrangements.
The first is grain and grass, and a large amount of grain and grass has been transported to the front line of Yongliang and Jiangbei, and it is endless.
Du Zhen of the Ministry of Industry was extremely busy at the moment, he opened mines in many places in Henan, built large blast furnaces, and began large-scale smelting.
For a time, there were more smelters and mining mines in the Wei State, and Du Pre gathered sinners and prisoners from all over the country, and these original children of the big clan, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, were all put into the ranks of the steel manufacturing industry at this moment.
Many mines and smelters appeared in various parts of the Great Wei Dynasty, like bamboo shoots after the rain, a large amount of steel was made into weapons, first let the Chinese army complete the upgrading, they eliminated the weapons and equipment did not waste, the weapons and equipment of the border army has always lagged behind the Chinese army, these just equip the border army.
And what is eliminated by the border army can be directly rebuilt and rebuilt into farm tools.
At this moment, the officials and generals of Great Wei were aware of some unusual atmosphere.
The dark clouds of war seemed to be coming.
The Chinese army has also begun to move frequently, and the local army has begun large-scale exercises.
Shi Ji and the others stood on the warship, looking at the dense camp tent in the distance, and the roar that resounded in the sky, their faces couldn't help but turn pale.
The treatment of the troops of the Wei State has risen, their morale is also high, and they have become more and more serious in their exercises, and after reducing the many bad behaviors in the army, the combat effectiveness of the Wei army has become higher and higher.
Wang Ji's drills did not avoid the Wu army on the other side of the river.
Almost telling them to wash their necks and wait for me, we'll be over soon.
This also frightened the Shu army in Yong'an, who were the first to inform the temple of the Wei army's unusual movements.
But Shu no longer has any troops that can be sent to Yong'an, because Hanzhong also needs support.
If it is said that Wang Ji here is just practicing, then Deng Ai in the direction of Yongliang has already begun to prepare to explore the way.
Their scouts frequently went to provoke them, and even tied them with arrows to persuade them to surrender and shot them into the checkpoint.
Jiang Wei also understood at this moment that a war was inevitable.
But at this time, there was another major event in Shu.
Fan Jian, the servant, got the news that Huang Hao had met with the Wei people and had received bribes from the other party.
Fan Jian is a person whose moral character is greater than his talent, and after he knew about this matter, he immediately wrote to Liu Chan, hoping to investigate this matter thoroughly.
And Huang Hao cried and explained to Liu Chan that such a thing had never happened at all, Liu Chan was very angry, and wanted to remove Fan Jian's official title.
Jiang Wei couldn't hold back anymore at the moment.
He believed that Huang Hao could do such a thing! This despicable and shameless villain, he left his henchmen to stare at the army outside the gate, and personally rushed towards Chengdu.
In this line, we must get rid of Huang Hao!!
