The selection of generals in the army has always been a secret. Especially during the Han Dynasty, all military power was in the hands of the emperor. Without the tiger talisman, no general would be able to mobilize a single soldier. This is also what every king in every dynasty does. Doing so has
There are several advantages. One is that it can ensure that one's throne is always in the hands of one's own people, and the other is that it is the most effective way to maintain one's rule.
Until the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a cup of wine, completely turning the generals into pigs and dogs raised by the state, and also reduced the military strength of the Han people to a minimum, clearing the way for the subsequent northern barbarian invasion of the Central Plains, and also allowing the prosperous mainland to
The Song Dynasty weakened step by step, and finally declared its demise in less than three hundred years. If the unification of the world was the root of the Central Plains dynasty, the Song Dynasty was undoubtedly the shortest-lived one.
Although the military power of the Han Dynasty was also in the hands of the emperor, there were some differences between the Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Because of the yellow robes worn by the Song Dynasty, the generals were completely excluded from the court, allowing the scholar-bureaucrat class to control everything in the empire. The generals of the Han Dynasty
We do not have the sorrow of the generals of the Song Dynasty. This era attaches great importance to military achievements, because the world of the Han Dynasty was built step by step by the generals, not through deception and conspiracy like the Song Dynasty, so the emperor of the Han Dynasty attached great importance to the treatment of generals.
As soon as Emperor Liu Che made the final decision, the entire empire moved towards war. Without the worries of grain and grass, the imperial court only needed to station some officials at the border areas to collect grain. The assembly of the army was the most important government affairs of the entire imperial court, one by one.
The imperial edict for dispatching troops was carried by fast horses in all directions. Pairs of soldiers bid farewell to their families and headed for their assembly areas.
It was the busiest day in the Taiwei Mansion. It was obvious that Ji An, the Taiwei who had just been working for half a year, was not capable of handling such a big matter. The emperor had already reprimanded Ji An several times for this. If there was not a more suitable candidate, Ji An's
The captaincy was over. In order to relieve the pressure on Ji An, Dou Ying took the initiative to help, and then the matter of troop deployment was smoothed.
The imperial court was extremely busy, and Su Ren was idle. He had already received an order from the imperial court. Su Ren would be named Chariot and Cavalry General and command the Eastern Route Army. Starting from Yanmen Pass, he would divide the eastern part of the Huns and Yizhixie into two sections, and let Li Guang
After the West Route Army led by Wei Qing and the Middle Route Army led by Wei Qing first eliminated Yi Zhixie, the three armies merged into one and pushed across to completely drive out the Huns entrenched in the northern part of the Han Dynasty.
Before the official departure, Liu Che asked Liu Jiqing to deliver a large number of tablets to Su Ren's home. These were the Hun intelligence collected by Heibingtai over the years. There were also identical tablets in the homes of Li Guang and Wei Qing. As members of the Third Route Army,
Commander-in-Chief, if you want to win a great victory, you must know yourself and the enemy. Liu Che did this very well. However, unlike Li Guang and Wei Qing, Liu Jiqing sent an extra letter to Su Ren.
"General, this is your Majesty's special instruction for the general to take a closer look!" Liu Jiqing picked out the most important one from the letter and held it in front of Su Ren.
Su Ren took a look and said, "Your Majesty, are you really going to agree to Yu Shan's conditions? You must know that these Huns are not good people. Besides, the population brought by Yu Shan's return is no less than 100,000. As far as I know, there are only soldiers among them.
There are more than 40,000 of them, and those Huns have lived on horseback since childhood, and they will turn into bandits at any time. If they cannot be completely tamed, it is best to kill them."
Liu Jiqing stood quietly, waiting for Su Ren to finish: "Your Majesty has made a decision on this matter, and I will also convey the general's words to Your Majesty."
Talking to Liu Jiqing is very unpleasant. There is no definite answer in this old guy's mouth. Everything he says has different meanings. People who don't understand can easily be fooled by this old guy. He took the letter from Liu Jiqing's hand.
, Su Ren waved his hand and sent Liu Jiqing out.
There are two copies of the letter, one is a letter of surrender, and the other is a private letter, and it is also addressed to Su Ren. The paint has been picked up, so Liu Che must have known the contents of the letter. Su Ren was not in a hurry to read the letter.
Let’s take a closer look at the letter written by Yu Shan to himself. I don’t know who Yu Shan asked to write for him, but his small seal handwriting is quite beautiful. It is rare to see the delicate seal characters in it.
Yu Shan was very polite in the letter. He first talked about the friendship between Su Ren and him, then talked about his hatred of the country and his family, and finally used an almost pleading tone to hope that Su Ren could put in a few good words in front of the Han Emperor Liu Che, so that he and Liu Che could be reunited.
His people entered the Great Wall and lived a human life for a few days. This letter was full of emotion and emotion. Most people would definitely be moved by Yu Shan's pity and would help him no matter what.
After reading the letter, Su Ren threw it aside and began to rummage through a large pile of letters for news that would be beneficial to his dispatch. Heibingtai has made great progress under the leadership of Su Kai in recent years, and its tentacles have reached Yizhi.
Around Xie, there are many big things about Xiongnu that can be done in great detail. From Zhongsu Ren, he saw a familiar name, Li Shaojun. This magic stick turned out to be Yi Zhixie's heavenly master, and many big things about Yi Zhixie were gone.
Instead of asking the high priest, he discussed it with Li Shaojun. This surprised Su Ren.
The information was very messy and required Su Ren to read it carefully and sort it into categories. After working for a whole afternoon, my back and neck ached due to tiredness, but I only read a very small part of it. Su Ren missed the days in Yumen a little bit.
Yageri from the Gesang family was very capable, much better than those in the imperial court who had to work hard. He threw down the letter in his hand and shouted out the door: "Old Huang, go find Qu Bing!"
Yesterday Su Ren did not agree to Huo Qubing's request to follow Wei Qing, which made Huo Qubing very frustrated. Today he stopped hanging around Su Ren and ran out early in the morning to either lose Wei Qing or go to his uncle Liu Che to act like a coquettish girl.
This kid is good at everything, he just likes to take risks and is not afraid of anything. If he didn't have a literate father, he would be almost exactly the same as Hawking.
When Huang Shisan retrieved Huo Qubing, it was already an hour after Su Ren ordered him. When Huang Shisan forcibly retrieved Huo Qubing, Huo Qubing could turn his mouth behind his ears: "Teacher, are you looking for me?"
"Where did you go to work hard again? There should be no chance with your uncle. You should go to see His Majesty, right?" Huo Qubing said nothing. Su Ren smiled: "It seems that the effect is not very good."
Huo Qubing pouted and grabbed Su Ren's arm: "Teacher, just take me with you. I promise to listen to you and never cause trouble!"
Su Ren looked at the older child who was already about the same height as himself and said that Huo Qubing was already sixteen this year, much older than when Hawking was hanging out with him. Like Hawking, Huo Qubing was tall and strong, but different from Hawking.
, Huo Qubing's appearance is more delicate, which he followed his father.
Su Ren's arm was about to break after being shaken by Huo Qubing, so he quickly pulled out his hand: "Okay, okay, okay, I can take you, but you must be obedient, otherwise I will blow you back if I take you there!"
"Okay, students must be obedient!" Huo Qubing was overjoyed, and the expression on his face immediately changed. He searched the room for Su Ren's teapot and tea bowl, and soon a cup of tea with just the right temperature was brought to Su Ren.
After receiving the tea brought by his apprentice, Su Ren sat down on the chair comfortably. Huo Qubing regained his childlike excitement, tidying up the room for Su Ren and randomly putting together the slips of paper that Su Ren had just sorted out.
Su Ren quickly stopped: "Okay, okay, I haven't finished what I said. I made a mistake. I see clearly that it took my teacher a whole afternoon to sort it out. How can I look at it after you did this?"
Huo Qubing was shocked: "Ah! I'll help the teacher do it!"
"you?"
"I've been studying with Mr. Han Anguo for a few years, and I'm pretty good at sorting out information." As he said that, Huo Qubing started to work.
Su Ren lay down again: "Okay, then let me see what you have learned in the academy these years."
Grabbing Yu Shan's letter, Huo Qubing opened it and read the content first. After reading two lines, he realized that it was the teacher's letter and quickly put it back on Su Ren's desk to sort out other information: "Teacher, this Yu Shan is looking for death!
"
Su Rendao: "Why? This letter is so sincere. It says that my master has decided to have a good talk with His Majesty and let Yu Dan and the others live a quiet and peaceful life in our Han Dynasty."
After all, he had formally studied military strategism in the academy. Huo Qubing was quite deft with his hands. He reclassified the messed up things in a few clicks: "Yu Shan is testing the teacher. It depends on the teacher's attitude. If the teacher is soft-hearted,
, just in time to fall into Yu Shan's plan, not only Yu Dan but also King Youxian surrendered this time. The total number of Huns was no less than 100,000. When they were outside the fortress, there were frontier troops watching. If they enter Yanmen Pass, only the Huns will surrender.
People can attack any of our towns at any time if they wish."
Su Ren had a smile on his face: "No way?"
"Why not? The Huns are the worst! Last year when Mr. Han was in class, he told a story called False Way to Destroy Guo. That's what Yu Shan is doing now! He pretended to join us, because he was watching our expedition against the Huns.
As a result, if Yi Zhixie wins, he will immediately show his fangs and bite our big man's wound again; if our big man wins, he will also lead his people to leave the station and pounce on Yi Zhixie, regaining Shanyu's position
, this guy is quite insidious, no matter who wins on either side, it will definitely be him who gets the benefits."
Su Ren nodded slightly: "Then what do you think us big men should do?"
"In my opinion, we should agree to surrender to Yu Shan, bring Yu Shan to Chang'an, and then send Yu Shan's people to organize and march to the battlefield outside the Great Wall with our army, and let the Huns continue to fight against Yizhixie until
All died in battle."
"What if Yu Shan disagrees?"
Huo Qubing chuckled: "He couldn't help but disagree with Yu Shan at this time. Yi Zhixie put Yu Shan aside because he knew that we were going to send troops. As long as we send troops later, Yi Zhixie will definitely seize the opportunity and show up at Shan."
Completely eliminate them, and then fight with us again, so Yu Shan will definitely agree to our conditions."
"Hahaha..." Su Ren laughed: "Very good, you will lead those Huns soldiers, but not as cannon fodder, but to give full play to their greatest advantages. Do you have the guts?"
Huo Qubing put down the letter in his hand and stared at Su Ren for a while, then a smile appeared on his face: "Teacher, don't worry, I will never let you down." (To be continued)
