"I will order Yingyinhou Guanhe to be General Loufan and general your entire army..." Liu Che suddenly said to King Loufan who was kneeling in front of him.
Then, from the screen behind Liu Che, an old general wearing armor walked out.
The old general walked up to Liu Che, knelt down and worshiped, "Why do you obey this imperial edict?"
Yingyinhou Guanhe is over sixty years old this year. His beard and hair are all white, and he looks like he is aging.
However, Liu Che knew that this was a fierce general.
When he was young, he even beheaded a Huns Guduhou in a field battle during the Han-Hong war.
Note that he is the head obtained by rushing into battle and beheading generals.
It's not a one-on-one duel like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Instead, he led his troops into battle and captured the heads of enemy generals among thousands of troops.
His father was even more aggressive!
Ying Yinyi waits for Guan Ying!
This is a legendary figure who started out as a hawker.
He rose to prominence in the anti-Qin uprising, and in the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, he was so majestic that he killed the dragon in formation, captured Zhou Lan alive, and participated in the Battle of Pengcheng and the Battle of Haixia.
Even when he was old and dying, he was ordered by Emperor Taizong to command 80,000 troops and go north to launch the Henan Campaign to drive all the Xiongnu forces out of the Great Wall.
He is the spokesperson of legend.
Therefore, his posthumous title is: Yi.
Yi Zhe is also beautiful!
This posthumous title is one of the highest rewards given by the Han family to a minister for his merits and moral character during his lifetime.
Among the more than 150 princes in the early Han Dynasty, Guanying and Cao Shen were the only ones to receive this honor.
The status of the Yingyinhou family in the Han family is naturally the same as that of the Pingyanghou family.
The emperors of all dynasties have been married to him.
Moreover, as one of the founding families of the Han Dynasty cavalry force, the Yingyinhou family has great prestige and appeal among traditional cavalry officers.
Almost half of the initial Han cavalry came from Lou Fanren, or were closely related to Lou Fanren.
Of course, Loufan here refers to the permanent residents of Loufan County in the past Qin State.
To some extent, in fact, these Loufan officers were not necessarily the subjects of the Loufan Kingdom back then.
China has experienced its largest population migration since the Warring States Period.
The population of Wuyue and Qilu in the south moved north in large numbers.
And the population that was originally in the north also moved south in large numbers.
Residents from all over the place mix and mingle with each other.
As a result, the barriers that existed since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods disappeared, and all countries became one family. There was no need for you, a barbarian from the Chu State, to slander me, a gentleman from the Jin State.
Because, if a **** says this, then he will be skinned soon. You are just a Vietnamese immigrant with tattoos. Is there any use in chirping?
Therefore, in fact, many current military officers are just wearing a layer of skin.
However, when you enter your country, follow its customs.
Just like the old brothers from Guandong who followed Liu Bang to enter the country and conquer the world.
When immigrants arrive in a certain place, they will naturally identify themselves as locals and inherit many of the local customs and traditions.
Like Guanzhong, although most of the current population structure is immigrants, everyone considers themselves a native of Lao Qin.
It’s also like the Magic City in later generations. To be honest, how many real aborigines are there in the Magic City?
But not everyone is 'Allanon Barabara...'
The same goes for these floor officers.
Since everyone is a fan, of course they will fulfill some traditional obligations.
For example, I have practiced riding and shooting since I was a child, and for example... I hate the Loufan tribe!
Although many people don’t quite understand why they hate a Xiongnu tribe.
But that doesn't stop them from shouting slogans at all.
It becomes natural as a habit.
Liu Che's decision to appoint Guan He this time was to take advantage of Guan He's huge appeal among the Loufan army officers, and then try his best to add sand to the Loufan tribe, divide them and win over them, and win over the middle and lower-class Loufan nobles openly and honestly.
This building is annoying...
Just like Cang Haijun. Just use it as a sign and buy the horse bones with a thousand pieces of gold!
And the Loufan officers will definitely be willing to take away all the middle and lower classes of the Loufan tribe who have surrendered.
This way, it won't take two or three years, not even one year.
The Loufan tribe will become a noun in history just like the Loufan Kingdom.
"Yingyinhou and Loufanhou will cooperate sincerely in the future and live up to my expectations!" Liu Che said with a smile.
Guan He smiled slightly. Although he had not been a general for almost twenty years, his bones were almost rotten.
but……
If it were to deal with the Loufan tribe, he would definitely be happy.
Because, this is to establish a foundation for future generations!
As long as the Loufan tribe can be digested and a group of reliable officers can be recruited from them, the Yingyinhou family will have hope in the future.
even……
In Guan He's heart, he had greater ambitions to change his son.
His current heir apparent, Guan Xian, although his name contains Xian, is not Xian at all.
On the contrary, he is just a playboy who only knows how to fight cocks and lackeys all day long. Now he is in his twenties and thirties and can't even ride a horse!
It really disgraced his father and his face!
In comparison, his concubine Xing has better abilities and is more similar to the family tradition of his Guan family.
However, due to the Han family system, the heir apparent must be the eldest son.
For ordinary people, let alone a bastard, it is unlikely that a legitimate son would be the heir apparent.
Because the Han family has a system, the princes and princes will definitely record their names and report them to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and report them to Emperor Gao, Taizong, and Renzong for their instructions.
The emperors of the past dynasties looked down at him secretly and expressed their thoughts through the tortoise shells.
After completing this procedure, the eldest son's status as heir apparent was recognized by the former emperors.
Want to change?
Hahaha, where to put the faces of the late emperors?
Therefore, many strange things happened in the Han Dynasty.
For example, four years ago, the king of Changsha was detained. Although he clearly had a son, the Emperor Liu announced that Changsha would no longer have any heirs and would be abolished as a county.
Another example is that when Zhou Yafu was the prime minister, his father's title was Jianghou, and his brother, as the heir apparent, inherited his father's title of Jianghou.
But after his brother was punished for committing a crime, he was approved by Taizong and given the title of Sijianghou, but the title was changed to Tiaohou.
This is all caused by the system.
Theoretically speaking, it is almost impossible for Guan He to change the crown prince unless he gets a special edict from the emperor, and then the emperor reports to his ancestors: Yingyin is waiting for the crown prince to be ill. He cannot be enshrined in the ancestral temple and register his concubine as the crown prince.
Then the late emperors gave their approval through the tortoise shell.
This is the only way to circumvent the restrictions of the 'law of posthumous succession' and successfully change the heir.
However, such a special case has never happened once in the sixty-year history of the Han Dynasty.
For the Liu family who believed in "ruling the world with filial piety", challenging things approved by the late emperors was tantamount to slapping themselves in the face.
Guan He knew very well that he wanted to change his heir to prevent himself and his father from being dragged down by his incompetent heir apparent.
The only way is to make a great contribution and then use this contribution to ask the emperor for permission to replace him.
Even so, even if he succeeded, he would still have to pay the price of losing at least two thousand households in the feudal land of Yingyinhou. This is the price stipulated by the system and the post-disposal law: if the heirs of the princes are replaced, the price will be reduced.
The title of nobility or the number of households in the fiefdom.
This is why the princes of the Han Dynasty, those famous generals, and those heroes, even if they knew that their eldest son was a idiot, they still pinched their noses and recognized it. The reason is that it is difficult to change the heir, and more importantly, even if you succeed, you still need to pay.
The price is huge, generally. If they don't really have no confidence in their son, no one will choose to change horses.
And Guan He had no choice.
He knew that if he couldn't replace that dandy, he and his father might be dragged down once he died.
If the title of Marquis Yingyin is deposed, then he and his father will not be able to eat incense, blood, food, or sacrifice if they are under the Nine Springs.
This is the afterlife that Han people, officials and nobles fear most.
To die and still starve. How terrible!
Therefore, at this moment, Guan He seemed to have returned to his youthful years of twenty. He looked at Lou Fanhou in front of him with high spirits and energy. Then, he cupped his hands and said: "Louf Fanhou, I, Yingyin Guan He...
…”
King Lou Fan, oh no, Hou Fan Hou, who is now in the Han Dynasty, heard this and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Nearly thirty years ago, Yingyinhou was the most resounding name among the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty.
The prime minister of the Han Dynasty, with his army, pushed the Huns back to the grassland, eliminated the threat of the Huns' cavalry to Chang'an, and then snatched part of the Hetao Plain from the Huns and established Yunzhong County there.
Even at that time, the Xiongnu had a fire in their backyard, and the Yuezhi people began to cause trouble. The main force of the Xiongnu was forced to march westward to hide and seek with the Yuezhi people.
But the Han Dynasty at that time was almost entirely infantry, with cavalry and chariots, barely a few thousand people.
With such an army, the Han Dynasty prime minister achieved such a victory, which was enough to impress the Huns.
The old Shanyu even lamented: This is a tiger general!
To him, the three words Ying Yin Hou have a greater meaning.
As the King of Loufan, of course he had heard that there was a close relationship between the Yingyin Marquis of the Han Dynasty and the Loufan officers of the Han Dynasty.
"This person will definitely make trouble for me..." Lou Fanhou thought in his heart, the probability of this should be very high.
So Lou Fanhou turned his attention to the smiling emperor of the Han Dynasty.
He knew very well that his current wealth and even his life and death depended on the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, he must try his best to fawn over and lick her.
And it is more thorough than ever before, kneeling, licking and surrendering to the Huns!
Otherwise, the emperor of the Han Dynasty would definitely not want to help him!
Taking a deep breath, Lou Fanhou knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty has learned clearly that I, the chief of Beidi, am vulgar and ignorant of kingship, and arrogant. Fortunately, your majesty has not given up, and inspired me with great righteousness, so that I can understand the kingship of China."
, Your Majesty’s virtue makes me burst into tears of gratitude! I will die ten thousand times to repay Your Majesty’s great kindness!”
"It's just..." He knelt on the ground and said: "I am from Beidi, and I was born without a surname. I only took the name of my tribe. Now I am your majesty's concubine. King Mu has transformed into a new generation. I walk on thin ice fearing that I will be vulgar.
This offends your majesty's sanctity. Therefore, I ask your majesty to give you a generous favor and give me a surname and a name..."
This is his cleverness.
By asking for a name from the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he elevated his status to that of a 'slave of the emperor'.
This was the result of discussions between him and his staff.
Even these rhetorics were thought up by his staff and then taught him to memorize them.
As long as he can successfully obtain the name, then it is equivalent to obtaining a guarantee.
When Liu Che heard this, he chuckled.
He liked naming things the most, especially naming the Yi Di who had surrendered.
He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Since Mu Zhong is a king, you might as well take the king as your surname and loyalty as your name!"
Lou Fan was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately paid his respects: "Your Majesty has greatly favored this vulgar minister, so that he can have his surname and name, and no longer be a member of the barbarians and Di. I will inscribe my feelings for you for generations to come, and for your children and grandchildren."
Your Majesty’s hawks and dogs will serve as minions of the state to repay Your Majesty’s kindness!”
"It's good if I love you, you know..." Liu Che nodded kindly, and then said: "I have decided to move you and your tribe north to Zaoyang County..."
He clapped his hands, and soon a eunuch came to him carrying a huge map.
Liu Che took the Emperor's Sword, pointed at the winding Great Wall on the map, pointed out the location of Zaoyang County to Wang Zhong, the Marquis of Loufan, and Guanying, the Marquis of Yingyin, and said: "For Zaoyang, go to the north of Beiping.
More than three hundred miles away, it is a warning place for the Han family!"
This place, like Mayi, is the product of decades of war between Han and Hungary.
But it is more dangerous than Mayi.
Because it is further away from the Great Wall, and there is no grand pass like Yanmen behind it.
In history, during the period of Emperor Wu, this place changed hands repeatedly, and the Han and Huns fought for it many times.
In the past, this place wouldn't have mattered.
If you lose it, you lose it, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
But now, as the Anton Protectorate becomes more and more important.
There is no room for failure here.
Because this place, in Liu Che's view, should probably be Xuanhua, the gateway to Beijing in later generations.
If you lose it, both Beiping and Shanggu County will be in danger.
Moreover, the Huns may continue to penetrate deeper and attack Yanji, cutting off the land connection between China and the Andong Protectorate.
And this is a situation that Liu Che will not allow to happen.
However, it is neither economical nor practical to temporarily dispatch a cavalry force of over 10,000 to go north.
On the contrary, the Loufan tribe has a lot to do!
Historically, Huo Qubing domesticated the Wuheng people after hanging the Xiongnu, and then released the Wuheng people into the grasslands between Liaoxi and Youbeiping as a buffer and early warning.
Although this move caused some trouble for the Han Dynasty after Huo Qubing's death.
But in general, the defense of Shanggu County and Yanji in Youbeiping has been improved, and it is no longer possible for the Huns to go south to raid the Youbeiping area behind them before defeating Wu Heng.
Now, Liu Che's move can be regarded as plagiarizing Huo Qu's wisdom from his illness.
However, compared to Huo Qubing who threw his dog there without even tying the chain.
Liu Che undoubtedly considered it more comprehensively and completely.
Near Zaoyang County, the terrain at this time was also flat grassland with only a few hilly areas.
Although it is not as good as the Hetao, it is still an excellent pasture.
At least, the Han Dynasty kept about two to three thousand war horses there.
Place Lou Fanren here and use the troops from Shanggu County and Youbeiping to monitor and supervise him.
In this way, there is no fear that the Loufan people will not be able to kill them, and the Loufan tribe can be gradually assimilated through the local people and the Han army.
Moreover, because this place is far away from the heart of China, even if there is a problem, it can be easily solved without causing much impact. (To be continued.)
