Huangfu Song was speechless for a long time, just looking at Fu Xie intently, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.
"Nan Rong, your cousin's name was You Qi before, right? It was changed to Nan Rong later?"
Fu Xie was surprised why Huangfu Song mentioned this at this time, so he had to say: "I did change my name to Nan Rong because I admired Nangong Shi."
Nangong Shi was one of the seventy-two sages of Confucius. He was noticed by Confucius because he returned to Bai Gui three times, and Confucius married his niece to him.
"The stain on white jade can be polished off; the stain on white jade cannot be done. The stain on white jade can be rubbed away, but the stain on the white jade cannot be erased. Nangong Shi read this sentence three times in a row, and therefore
It attracted the attention of Saint Kong. I admire him very much for this, so I also use this to make it clear that I will not allow myself to have any stains in this life! So others may be able to make mistakes, but I will not make any concessions to these eunuchs!"
When Huangfu Song saw that Fu Xie had brought the topic back, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "Nan Rong's words are wrong. The meaning of this sentence is to remind people to be careful in their words and deeds, and remember that 'misfortunes come from the mouth, and diseases come from the mouth.'"
The truth. Nangong Shi read these words three times to remind himself to be careful when speaking in the future and try not to say the wrong thing. Kong Shengren once commented on Nangong Shi, "If a state has the right, it will not be abolished; if there is no right, it will not be punished."
If the court is clear, then his official position will not be abolished. If the court is dark, he will not be punished. All this is because he is cautious in his words and deeds. Nan Rong, you have always been cautious before.
Be careful in your words and deeds, why do you often miss the mark when it comes to eunuchs? You must know the principle of being too strong and you will be wrong. Some things should be dealt with slowly."
"If the traitors are not eliminated, there will be no peace in the country! If everyone protects himself, only cares about himself, and dare not say or do anything, what will happen to the common people! It's not that I am careless, it is really these gangs of eunuchs who are lawless! This Nangong fire can be regarded as a disaster.
God has given me a warning, but who would have thought that these eunuchs could use this to make money! Their despicable methods are unheard of! Their arrogance is unprecedented! As long as I, Fu Xie, am here, I will fight these eunuchs to the end!"
Fu Xie said impassionedly.
Huangfusong sighed in his heart. He was already over fifty years old. When he was as old as Fu Xie, he was also very ambitious. To destroy the eunuchs, Yuyu clarified that it was also his ambition. Do you want to be confused this time? Your Majesty will
Are eunuchs killed because of pressure from Qiang thieves? According to His Majesty's favor for eunuchs, he should not do this, but what if it happens?
"General, the country is in danger. If we allow the eunuchs to do whatever they want, it will sooner or later trigger a second civil unrest! With the general here, the Qiang rebellion can be put down soon! But if the eunuchs are not eliminated and continue to act arbitrarily, even if the Qiang rebellion is suppressed,
More people will rise up and rebel. Even if the general lives a hundred years, how many years can he protect the Han Dynasty? Nan Rong, on behalf of the people of the world, please beg the general!"
Fu Xie kowtowed and could not stand.
Huangfu Song was also speechless.
…
"The thieves have all entered the land of Sanfu, and further ahead is the ancestor's imperial mausoleum! If the ancestor's imperial mausoleum is damaged, how can I have the face to meet my ancestors!"
Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty swept away his usual tired look and looked very anxious. If the Qiang thieves dug up his ancestor's grave, it would be a great shame and humiliation, and it would be more painful than killing him.
"General Huangfu, you beat down the Yellow Turban thieves like the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves. What good strategy do you have as the general to wipe out the Qiang thieves and rebels this time? Tell me."
Huangfu Song hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the Qiang thieves are different from the Yellow Turban thieves. The Yellow Turban thieves are all foot soldiers. Although they are large in number, they move slowly. During the campaign, they often stick to the city and defend it, so they can gather together.
Annihilate them. This Qiang bandit is good at riding and shooting. It is not difficult to retreat the enemy for a while, but if you are afraid that he will come back and harass you frequently, then it will be a waste of money and food."
"Does General Huangfu have a good plan? To put it bluntly, I'm anxious as I wait."
Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty couldn't help but get annoyed when he saw Huangfu Song hesitating. Now that the military situation was in full swing, he must seize the time.
"If we want to wipe out these traitor soldiers on horseback, we must fight poison with poison. Please recruit three thousand Huns to cooperate. Only in this way can the traitor army be completely wiped out!"
Huangfu Song has been thinking hard these days. If he follows what Fu Wei said, he only confronts the thieves but does not take the initiative to attack. If this is the case, it may be true and the eunuchs will catch him and he will be dismissed from his post.
If a person is convicted of having an affair with a thief, he will be doomed.
But if he sends troops to quickly annihilate the Qiang thieves, as Fu Wei fears, then these eunuchs will inevitably become more arrogant and encourage His Majesty to do more ridiculous things without the feeling of being behind them. In this case,
, going to Youzhou to recruit troops is a good excuse to delay. It won't be a problem to delay for a few months.
"I object!"
General He Jin stood up and said.
He Jin has long been dissatisfied. Since he became the general, he has done nothing except defending the capital. Now that it is time to exterminate the Qiang thieves, His Majesty does not even consider letting him go into battle. This is clearly a deliberate suppression of himself. Seeing Liu Hong's attack on
Huangfusong loved him so much that unknown anger burned in his heart.
"I believe that the current Xiongnu have long lost their original bloody spirit. Even if your Majesty promises a lot of money, most of the recruits are greedy and fearful of death, hoping that they will repel the Qiang and Hu people. I heard that the Youzhou officers and soldiers defeated the Huns.
They are retreating steadily. Since the Huns are so useless, what's the use of recruiting them? In my humble opinion, if we recruit cavalry, it would be better to recruit five thousand Xianbei people. The Xianbei people's fighting power is much higher than that of the Huns."
"Huns, Xianbei..."
Liu Hong was obviously hesitant.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the Huns and Xianbei are both unreliable and capricious villains."
Sikong Zhang Wen stood up and said, "As the saying goes, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Longxi Governor Li Shen has always been calm and resourceful. It is better to let him recruit Qiang and Hu people who have not participated in the rebellion to form a cavalry. In time, it will be of great use! This is what Huangfu said.
As the general said, fight fire with fire."
"Wonderful, wonderful, it's a good idea to fight poison with poison, and let the Qiang and Hu people kill each other. It's just a matter of silence. It's a blockbuster. The strategy you proposed really comforts me, so let's do it like this!"
Han Emperor Liu Hong clapped his hands and applauded.
Huangfu Song and He Jin looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes. What kind of clever plan is this? Longxi County is also in Liangzhou, and there are many thieves around to protect themselves. Even if they recruit cavalry, what effect will they have?
Everyone sighed in unison.
"Hmph, how can such a small plan be called clever? I have a plan that can eliminate the crisis of the three auxiliaries without using a single soldier from the imperial court."
The newly appointed Situ Cui Lie stood up and said.
Cui Lie originally wanted to keep his tail between his legs, after all, the reputation of buying an official was not good, but when he saw Zhang Wen, who also had a background of buying an official, he was so proud, he couldn't help but feel angry. Both Situ and Sikong were ranked among the three nobles, and everyone
It's money to buy an official position. Since you have a bad idea, His Majesty can accept it. Then if you come up with a clever idea, Your Majesty doesn't know how to be happy.
"Oh, Situ also has a clever trick? Please teach me. This time you buy an official, I have reduced the price by half. It's quite painful to think about it now. If you can come up with a good idea this time, you can defeat the enemy without a fight.
, then I won’t feel so distressed about the less money I received.”
Liu Hong said enthusiastically.
Cui Lie's old face turned red. He was considered a person of great fame. However, if he followed the normal promotion speed, he still didn't know how long it would take to reach the position of Third Lord. He took half of the journey of Liu Hong's nanny.
He bought Situ's position at the price. This matter made a big fuss and everyone knew about it. Naturally, he didn't want people to mention this matter again, but Liu Hong just insisted on it, which was really annoying.
"Ahem," Cui Lie pretended to cough, "I think that the Qiang rebellion in Liangzhou has been ups and downs for hundreds of years, and the country needs to spend money to either send troops to quell the rebellion or to recruit the Qiang people. It costs hundreds of millions.
, countless. And even if Liangzhou is pacified, the area is sparsely populated and there is no tax to provide. Instead of doing this, it is better to imitate Zhu Ya’s story and abandon the land of Liangzhou! Throw this hot yam away! If these Qiang thieves
Knowing that the imperial court has abandoned Liangzhou, it will inevitably withdraw its troops and fight for territory. If the internal strife continues, there will be no soldiers and pawns, and the Qiang rebellion can be quelled!"
As soon as Cui Lie said this, all the officials in the court nodded in agreement.
Zhang Wen and Huangfu Song frowned slightly when they heard this, but did not speak after all.
"If the Qiang chaos is suppressed, please kill Situ!" At this time, someone shouted loudly!
