Chapter eight hundred and eighty seventh ambition is different
With Dong Xian and Pang Meng being killed and their heads sent to Luoyang, Liu Xiu began to set his sights on Zhang Bu, the last powerful enemy in the east.
On that day, Liu Xiu issued successive edicts. One edict summoned Grand Sima Wu Han and Huya General Gai Yan to return to the capital. One edict transferred Taishan Prefect Chen Jun to be Langya Prefect. Another edict transferred former general Wang Liang to Shanyang Prefect.
, an edict appointed Geng Yan as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition to attack Zhang Bu's forces, an edict appointed Li Tong to take over the post of former general, and an edict transferred Wei Jun's prefect Yao Qi to return to Beijing and serve as Taizhong doctor, Xingweiwei
(Shortly after Yao Qi returned to Beijing, he was officially appointed as a Weiwei).
From Liu Xiu's adjustment, it can be seen that while the Luoyang court continued to pacify the separatist forces in the east, it also tried its best to stabilize its own counties in the east. In addition, it retracted its strategic focus to Luoyang to prepare for future strategic deployment.
be prepared.
Shanyang County is located in the central hinterland of Yanzhou. Liu Xiu transferred Wang Liang, a general who was experienced in fighting, to Shanyang and appointed him as the prefect of Shanyang. His intention was very clear, which was to provide the Eastern Expedition with maximum logistical support and strong
Strong logistical support.
Langya County is located in the north of Xuzhou, bordering Qingzhou where Zhang Bu is located. Liu Xiu placed Chen Jun in Langya County with a very clear intention, which was to let Chen Jun gather the power of the entire county and coordinate with the Eastern Expeditionary Army to create double pressure on Zhang Bu in Qingzhou.
Liu Xiu's series of deployments were determined to completely eliminate Zhang Bu's forces.
Zhang Bu's forces were the last separatist warlord in the east. As long as Zhang Bu was pacified, there would be no strong enemies east of Luoyang, and Luoyang would no longer have worries. Liu Xiuke could shift the court's energy and spearhead to the west.
Li Tong no longer wanted to be a capital official and insisted on transferring to the military. Liu Xiu took this opportunity and satisfied Li Tong's request, letting him take over the post of Wang Liang's former general.
The position of Weiwei was so important that it could be said to be the last line of defense around the emperor. Liu Xiu also thought hard about who to replace Li Tong. After many choices, Liu Xiu finally decided to use Yao Qi.
Yao Qi was Liu Xiu's confidant. He was both civil and military, loyal and courageous. He was Liu Xiu's loyal minister who laid the foundation of Hebei. Liu Xiu admired and trusted Yao Qi very much.
Li Tong was transferred from Weiwei to former general. Li Tong himself was very satisfied with this, but Liu Boji didn't think so. The day after Liu Xiu issued the edict, Liu Boji came to the palace to reason with Liu Xiu.
After listening to Zhang Kun's report, the younger sister entered the palace angrily, and Liu Xiu understood what was going on.
He had a headache. On one side was his best friend, and on the other side was his biological sister. One wanted to do martial arts, and the other wanted to do literature. Who should he lean towards?
Liu Xiu sighed lightly and said, "Brother, please come in!"
Zhang Kun agreed, turned around and walked out. Not long after, Liu Boji strode in from the outside. After seeing Liu Xiu, Liu Boji saluted and said: "Brother Emperor."
Liu Xiu smiled and asked: "My little sister is here, sit down quickly." After Liu Boji sat down, Liu Xiu asked: "Why did Boji enter the palace this time?"
Liu Boji looked at Liu Xiu and then at Zhang Kun. Liu Xiu understood and waved to Zhang Kun. The latter bowed and exited the hall. After Zhang Kun left, Liu Boji immediately stood up, walked to Liu Xiu and knelt down.
Sitting down, he asked dissatisfiedly: "Why did the third brother let Jiyuan be transferred to a former general? The third brother also knows that Jiyuan's body is so hard in the army, how can he... how can his body bear it?"
Yes, it is true that Jiyuan's body cannot withstand the hardships of the military, but for whom is he doing this? Liu Xiu smiled bitterly and said: "Chiyuan wants to join the army, so what can I do? I can only follow him.
He's gone!"
"I don't agree!" Liu Boji said angrily.
Liu Xiu said meaningfully: "Bo Ji, in fact, Ci Yuan is not happy as a guard. Although Ci Yuan comes from a wealthy family, he is quite ambitious. As the saying goes, a good man has his ambitions in all directions, and Ci Yuan is more willing to join the army.
And why can’t he do what he wants?!”
As Li Tong's wife, how could Liu Boji not see that Li Tong was not willing to be a guard, nor was he willing to be trapped and die in the imperial city, but she was really worried about Li Tong's health.
Her eyes were red, and she choked and said: "Ji Yuan's body is weak, how can he endure the hardships of the military?!"
Liu Xiu smiled slightly, gently rubbed Liu Boji's head, and asked: "No matter how hard it is in the army now, can it still be as hard as when we revolted? At that time, we didn't even have horses. I rode a bull, and Dimension
Relying on two legs. Now that Ji Yuan is a former general, he has countless soldiers under his command. Even if he is a little bit tired and tired, he will not suffer or be as tired as Ji Yuan."
"But third brother, after becoming a former general, Ji Yuan will... go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!" This is what Liu Boji is most worried about.
If the earthen jar is not broken away from the well mouth, the general will inevitably die in battle. When you go to the battlefield, whether you are a general or a soldier, if you are unlucky, you may be carried off the battlefield and wrapped in horse leather.
Liu Xiu smiled disapprovingly and said: "Boji underestimates Ji Yuan! Ji Yuan's ability to lead an army in battle is no less than any general in the court. Bo Ji just keep peace of mind in your belly!"
"Third brother..."
"Okay, Bo Ji, don't talk anymore. I have already decided on this matter. This is not only what Diyuan means, but also what I mean!" Liu Xiu said with a straight face and could not refuse.
Liu Boji puffed up her cheeks and held it in for a long time before saying, "I can agree to let Ji Yuan become a former general, but there is one thing. I will not agree to it anyway."
Liu Xiuxiao asked: "What's the matter?"
"Third brother, don't send Jiyuan to fight Gongsun Shu." Liu Boji said seriously: "Before, I asked Mr. Yan to do a divination for Jiyuan. The five elements of Jiyuan are short of water. The more you go east, the more prosperous you go, and the more you go west, the more you decline.
Some people say that the land of Shu is steep and difficult to defend but difficult to attack..."
Before she could finish her words, Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing, waved her hand to Liu Boji, interrupted the younger sister's words, and said: "Boji, you are thinking too far. I have no intention of attacking Shu in the short term."
.”
As the saying goes, the road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky. To defeat Shu, Liu Xiu had to devote all his strength to the country. But now, the world is in ruins, riddled with holes, and abandoned. This dilapidated world can no longer bear it.
The pain of war.
Liu Xiu did have a plan. After pacifying Zhang Bu, he would settle down, recuperate, and let the people all over the world live in peace and tranquility for a few days.
There will be no more wars, at least in a short period of time. He hopes that there will be no more wars. Too many people have died. Too many people have died.
Liu Xiu's words made Liu Boji feel a little relieved, and she said: "Third brother has promised me and I can't go back on it!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her little finger. Upon seeing this, Liu Xiu was amused and laughed again. She hooked her little finger with Liu Boji and rubbed her head lovingly.
When Wu Han and Gai Yan returned to Beijing, Liu Xiu personally came out of the city to greet them. Wu Han and Gai Yan first selected Liu Yong, then Dong Xian and Pang Meng. They made great military achievements and made great contributions to the Han army's Eastern Expedition.
Liu Xiu brought Wu Han and Gai Yan into the palace and held a banquet in Guangming Hall to welcome Wu Han and Gai Yan.
Most of the ministers from the DPRK and the Central Government came to participate, including Dong Xuan and Zhang Bi.
Looking at the great Sima Wu Han who was admired by many generals like stars holding the moon in his arms, Zhang Bi admired and envied him at the same time. He sighed: "To be able to be as good as Duke Wu in an official position is to be a very popular minister. I will have no regrets in this life!"
Dong Xuan rolled his eyes at him and whispered: "Don't envy people who are far beyond your reach. Staying safe and doing your job well is better than anything else."
"Your Majesty envied Jinwu Zhi back then, and even admired Miss Yin family. Didn't your dreams come true in the end?!" Zhang Ben muttered angrily.
Dong Xuan smiled and asked: "Do you think you can compare with His Majesty?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bendun was discouraged, shook his head and said, "My lord, county magistrate, can't you not attack the lower officials?"
"I want you to wake up! Your current career is enough to bring glory to our ancestors!"
"That's true!" After hearing this, Zhang Ben immediately showed a smile on his face.
He picked up a bowl of wine, stood up and walked over to Wu Han. There were too many people around Wu Han, and it took a lot of effort for Zhang Bi to squeeze into the crowd and come to Wu Han.
Looking at Wu Han, who was sitting on the mat and his face was red from drinking, Zhang Bi bowed and said: "Da Sima is marching eastward. He will win the battle and conquer the enemy. He will strengthen the reputation of the Han Dynasty. I would like to offer a bowl of wine to Da Sima."
!As a courtesy, I’ll do my job first!”
After saying that, regardless of whether Wu Han heard what he said clearly or whether he wanted to pay attention to him, a little county captain, Zhang Bi raised his head and poured a large bowl of wine into his stomach.
Other ministers used cups to drink wine, but Zhang Bi poured it better and used bowls to hold the wine. But not to mention, he suited Wu Han's temper.
Although Wu Han was the Grand Sima, he did not spend a few days in Luoyang during his tenure and spent most of his time in the army.
First he marched south, and then he marched eastward. He led the Han soldiers to fight in the south and in the north.
In the army, he and his subordinates drank from bowls, and no one drank from cups in a formal manner. Wu Han looked at Zhang Bi with a smile and asked, "I wonder who you are?"
Zhang Bi hurriedly raised his hands and saluted, and said: "I will lower my rank to Luoyang Lieutenant Zhang Bi."
"It turns out to be Lieutenant Zhang County." Wu Han pushed away the wine glass on the table, picked up the wine pot, poured a large bowl of wine, and saluted Zhang Bi, and then he drank the wine in the bowl.
Seeing this, the generals around said one after another: "Let's change bowls and drink too!"
Zhang Bi came from a small gangster background, and he had quite the aura of the world, which was very characteristic of the generals who surrendered to the army.
It was difficult for other ministers to integrate into the circle of generals. Once Zhang Bi came here, he felt like a fish in water, getting along with everyone and calling them brothers.
When Liu Xiu returned to the main hall, he saw the generals toasting each other with large bowls. Zhang Bi was also mixed in the crowd, exchanging cups with Wu Han and other generals, smiling happily. Seeing Liu
After the show came back, everyone returned to their seats one after another. Zhang Bi also bowed and trotted back to his seat. He smiled at Dong Xuan beside him and said: "County Magistrate Dong, I think Mr. Wu is a very good person.
Very easy-going!”
It is completely different from the rumored great Sima who kills people without blinking an eye.
Dong Xuan shrugged. He didn't care much about these things. Dong Xuan's rule for being an official is not to seek merit, but to seek no faults. Just keep your own business and do your own thing well. As for other things,
Don't worry, don't ask.
His temperament and style destined that his career would not have much room for advancement. In this regard, Zhang Bianke was completely opposite to Dong Xuan. He was ambitious and not satisfied with the status quo. He wanted to
I want to get more and want to go further.
After Liu Xiu sat down, he looked at Wu Han and Gai Yan and said: "This time our army was able to successfully conquer Yanzhou and Xuzhou. Da Sima and Hu Ya all contributed a lot. Come, come, come, let's all respect Da Sima and Hu Ya."
One cup!”
When the emperor spoke, how could the ministers not respond positively? People picked up their cups and said in unison: "To the Great Sima! To the General Huya!"
Wu Han and Gai Yan changed the wine utensils into cups and said with a smile: "Your Majesty praised me! I can win consecutive battles in Yanzhou and Xuzhou because of your Majesty's blessing. The officers and men in the army are united and the people of the world are surrendered."
, Only in this way can I and others be able to survive a hundred battles!"
