Chapter 1871 Each performs its own duties and seeks to secure Hedong
Huang Wan thought about it for a while, His Majesty was "scheming" and sent Yang Su over early to take charge of Hedong affairs. Isn't it obvious that Huang Wan couldn't even handle such a trivial matter?
It was a bit embarrassing for His Majesty to see through.
Huang Wan lowered his head slightly in shame.
His expression was naturally caught by Yang Su next to him. Yang Su still had a good impression of this partner who was neither arrogant nor impetuous. Moreover, the Southeast General had always been a loyal supporter of His Majesty, and he had no contact with the civil and military forces in the north.
Therefore, Yang Su didn't mind being able to use the Battle of Hedong to remind Huang Wan, which would not only make Huang Wan enlightened and improve himself to a higher level, but also break the original barrier between the civil and military forces of the north and the south.
"Your Majesty knows that the general is a capable general on the battlefield, so matters on the battlefield are entrusted to the general. Although he is a long-time historian, he has not been appointed as a general. Your Majesty appointed him as the governor of Hedong. Naturally, he also hopes that he will focus on civil affairs and take into account military matters.
, The military should still be dominated by generals." Yang Su said, "In terms of the twists and turns between aristocratic families, generals may not be as good as X. When it comes to arranging troops on the battlefield, X is not as good as generals. You and I each perform our duties.
, it is easy to plan for the east of the river, so why should the general be discouraged?"
Huang Wan was startled for a moment.
This sentence is quite correct.
Although Yang Su can be considered a member of the military and is familiar with military strategies, he lacks battlefield command experience. He has not even been on the battlefield a few times. In terms of specific tactical arrangements, even formation of troops, setting up camps, etc.
His knowledge is indeed not as good as that of Huang Wan, so he is not really humble.
Without His Majesty's Qilin talents, naturally the two of them should perform their own duties and work together to stabilize Hedong. Yang Su must have already discussed with His Majesty how to deal with the aristocratic family, and even made a decision. This is not what Huang Wan is good at.
There is no need for him to worry about the territory. He only needs to be responsible for leading the Han army soldiers to fight all the way to open up territory and expand the territory.
Huang Wan smiled and solemnly handed over his hands: "I am confused for a moment, thank you Mr. Yang for your guidance."
"A certain person has not yet been granted the title of Marquis, so he should not be called such a respectful title among his family members." Yang Su said with a smile.
After the founding of the Han Dynasty, there was no large-scale enfeoffment of heroes. Only Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie, the left and right arms of His Majesty, were granted the title of marquis. Of course, the older generation Wu Mingche and others had already been ennobled, but they had also withdrawn.
It is not enough to affect the current government affairs.
The reason why Li Xingchen did not divide the heroes among the officials was because the most obvious characteristic of the current officials of the Han Dynasty was their youth. Yang Su, who was in his early forties, was already a real senior citizen in both the government and the public. If it had been in other dynasties, he would have been at this age.
Maybe it has just entered the center.
It is during this period of reform that we can have such a new era and a new atmosphere, with young people emerging one after another to lead the trend.
If we grant the title of marquis now, it is very likely that the Han Dynasty will face the situation where there is no meritorious service in the future. Moreover, many of the older generation who have just retired, such as Xiao Mohe, Wu Mingche and others, have made great achievements in revolutionizing the previous dynasty.
, they are just rural marquises, and Pei Yi and other old people are even more talented. They directly granted Pei Zilie, Xiao Shilian and others the title of rural marquis or even the title of public official. The older generation is really embarrassed. After working hard for most of their lives, they are still not as good as the second generation.
A boy in his late teens and early 30s.
Secondly, the world is uncertain now, and there are still many meritorious deeds ahead. Li Xingchen is obviously holding his breath and waiting to calculate the merits and ennoble the meritorious officials after the fall of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It would be too hasty to make marquises just after saving half of the mountains and rivers.
It is precisely because of this that all the civil and military ministers are gearing up, eager to make contributions in the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, after the fall of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, their peers will all be granted marquisships for their merits, and they will get nothing. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing?
A close confidant of the Emperor like Yang Su, who is also a person with outstanding merits, would not be impossible to be granted the title of a duke, let alone a marquis. If not for the fact that His Majesty's bloodline is still a semi-open secret, the Yang family of Hongnong
As a blood relative of His Majesty, so what if he is granted the title of king?
The more he knows where he can go, the more cautious Yang Su becomes. Even though the Han Dynasty now implements the legal system and pays attention to doing things in a reasonable and well-founded manner, after all, the world is still His Majesty's world, and the court is still His Majesty's court after all.
Which step he will reach in the end, whether he will become the prime minister or be ruined, is hard to decide between His Majesty's likes and dislikes, so Yang Su does not want his complacent behavior to spread to His Majesty's ears.
What's more, these titles were not originally given by me. If His Majesty knew about them, wouldn't it be an injustice?
Of course, Huang Wan didn't expect that much. Seeing Yang Su's modesty, he just admired this long history more in his heart, not for anything else, just because of this humility. When Yang Su took the position of Taiwei, he
Huang Wan will also support it.
"Fenglingdu has been captured, and next is Puzhou." Yang Su turned to the map, "From Fenglingdu to the north across Leishou Mountain, we will reach Puzhou. At this time, there should be fighting on the Puban side, so
If we can sneak attack on Puzhou's rear, we will inflict heavy losses on the enemy!"
Huang Wan solemnly handed over his hand and said: "I will immediately mobilize my elite troops and march day and night. If I have time, I will conquer Puzhou early the next morning!"
Yang Su turned around and looked at Huang Wan: "Please!"
Huang Wan then raised his hands to the southeast and left quickly.
That's Luoyang, where the emperor is.
May the Emperor bless you, and may the Han army be invincible.
Puzhou, Puban.
The ferry outside Puzhou is Puban, with docks and fortresses on both sides guarding the Taotao River.
The river is now frozen, and there is still a layer of snow on the surface.
There are waterways dug out in the river, and ships are passing through them.
In order to prevent the Han army from attacking, Puzhou defender Xin Yongda ordered his men to cut through the ice on the east bank of the river, making it impossible for the Han army to reach the other side directly from the ice. Li Xun, who was in charge of the Puzhou offensive, simply did not stop doing anything.
People used artillery and thunder to blast open the ice, and then the Han navy ships, which were originally huddled on the dock and could not move, were able to quickly advance along the waterway to the other side.
Xin Yongda did not expect that he would shoot himself in the foot. Facing the Han navy ships equipped with artillery and trebuchets, the Northern Zhou army on the shore could not support it at all, and quickly retreated to Puzhou City. This also made
The Han army crossed the river easily.
After crossing the river and returning to the river, Puzhou is still standing on the slope in front. Only by breaking out of this slope can we enter the Hedong wilderness, so we still have to capture Puzhou.
As the gateway to Guanzhong, it goes without saying that this city is strong. When Yang Jian attacked Yu Wenxian and the vanguard occupied Puzhou, he was attacked by Yu Wenxian's army at Tongguan. With almost no supplies, he still persisted for a long time with the high city and deep pool. In the end, due to
When the Han army entered Guanzhong, they lost all hope of holding on and were forced to surrender to Yu Wenxian.
Therefore, Xin Yongda is still very confident in holding Puzhou.
Correspondingly, due to insufficient preparation, Li Xun did not dare to launch an attack on Puzhou rashly.
