Yang Su, Chen Zhishen, Cao Zhong, Dai Cai, Wang Chang, Wu Huijue, etc. all became marquises from Long Yuanrong. On the civilian side, Xu Deyan, Yao Cha, Tang Yishun, Shen Jungao, Chen Shushen, Wu Ping and others also obtained the title of marquises. .
Further down, the earl and other titles are not generous with rewards. Although there is no period in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, people with the same surname are often called princes or even princes, and people with different surnames are often called princes. This is exaggerated, but everyone also makes a lot of money, as long as they have merit. Ministers can more or less receive knighthoods for meritorious service, and because this knighthood is based on the number of accumulated military exploits of each person, and has been repeatedly reviewed, and coupled with the fact that they have been praised repeatedly before, no one has any objections. Those who have objections have already raised them long ago, and they will not be delayed until today.
Therefore, every household is naturally filled with joy.
Conglong has been fighting for so many years and has made great achievements as a duke. He also has the face to brag to his elders in the family. For example, Xiao Shilian, the Duke of Liang, went to meet his father with great fanfare, but was beaten all the way by the Marquis Xiao Mohe. The dignified Duke of Liang can only shrink back now. He didn't dare to come out of the princess's house, and for a while he became a joke in Luoyang city.
It's not that Li Xingchen intentionally disliked Xiao Mohe, an old minister who had made great contributions before and after the founding of the Han Dynasty, but he chose to give his son a duke instead of a marquis.
First of all, Xiao Mohe's credit is indeed not as good as that of Xiao Shilian, who led the Han army to expand the territory several times. This Xiao Mohe himself admitted that a man is better than a man, and his son is better than his father. The father's face It also has brilliance, which is enough to show that I teach well. What's so disgusting about this?
Secondly, Xiao Mohe still holds the title of Lieutenant of the Han Dynasty. Although he has retreated to the second line, the formal transfer of duties and other duties will have to wait for Yang Su to arrive. After he completely retires, he can naturally and Wu Mingche Like others, they were given the title of Duke of the State. Li Xingchen would not forget the contributions they had made. Perhaps at that time, they were just helping Li Xingchen to support the situation, talking, or allocating more food, grass, soldiers and horses to Li Xingchen. Yes, but without the trivial work they did at that time, there would be no great man today.
It is inevitable to give him peach and return Qiong Yao.
Only Xiao Shilian had to go to his father to show off, saying that he was finally not the bad boy his father said he was. As a result, he was beaten by his father, so Li Xingchen could only say that this guy deserved it.
Xiao Mohe fought all his life and was recognized as a fierce general by both the north and the south. Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time. The era he lived in was the weakest era of the Southern Dynasty. Wu Mingche's Northern Expedition, launched with the power of the whole country, only sent tens of thousands of troops. On the opposite side, The two dynasties of the two dynasties could easily mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, so what Xiao Mohe faced was not an opponent of the same order of magnitude. In addition, as a cavalry general, the cavalry he could command were even more There are often only a few hundred people. How can they compete with the cavalry in the north, which can easily reach tens of thousands?
Xiao Mohe in history was even more unlucky. After Wu Mingche's Northern Expedition failed, he led the remnants of the Southern and Chen armies to resist and retreat, but never surrendered. As a result, Empress Chen stabbed him behind the scenes. How can he not be heartbroken? What?
Although Xiao Mohe is brave in battle, he has never been high-profile and arrogant in his life. Xiao Shilian's show off has certainly touched his father's pain everywhere, and it is impossible not to get beaten. I really thought that the former Nan Chen After the general retreated to the second line, he became unable to impress people?
However, the incident of Xiao Mohe beating his son also served as a wake-up call to Li Xingchen.
After all, Xiao Mohe is not too old. In his fifties, it is actually a time when a general summarizes and reflects on his half-life of combat experience and gets his own combat ideas and style. However, because of Xiao Shilian's existence, he cannot take charge of a military force.
It's just such a fierce general, it's a pity not to use it.
Yang Su, who stood in front of Li Xinchen, also expressed to Li Xinchen his intention to re-activate Xiao Maha. This was also the first thing Yang Su said after arriving in Luoyang from Jinyang and coming to see him non-stop. In fact, it was also the time when Yang Su officially became
The first decision the Han Dynasty made after becoming the new lieutenant.
"Ai Qing knows how to reciprocate politely." Li Xingchen couldn't help but joked.
The first thing Yang Su did after taking office was to arrange work for his old superiors to prevent them from being idle at home or actually going to become a teacher in an academy. This made Li Xingchen feel a little funny.
Yang Su immediately said: "Everyone knows that Duke Xiao is devoted to the country. It would be a pity if such a general is not needed because of Duke Liang."
Of course, there is another reason. Xiao Mohe abdicated the throne in favor of a wise man without any hesitation in the confrontation and prejudice between officials from the north and the south. This forced Yang Su to express his feelings no matter what. Even if His Majesty disagreed, he could tell Xiao Mohe
, at least I have helped you fight hard, and you are not someone who does not know how to repay kindness.
What's more, the contradiction between officials from the north and the south was only one of the main contradictions that led to the competition among officials in the Han Dynasty. From the perspective of the contradiction between civil and military officials that existed from the beginning, Xiao Mohe certainly would not object and always stood firm.
On the general's side, Yang Su, who has served as a civilian, is his successor. Looking at the entire court, it seems that there is really no one more suitable than Yang Su. Yu Gong should give up his position as soon as possible.
Even Xiao Mohe himself, except that he is older and has more experience, may not be much better than Yang Su.
Taiwei's Mansion is a place where people use their brains and mediate relationships. Xiao Mohe knows that this is not his area of expertise, so what's the point of staying in this place with an empty name.
"Then how do you think Aiqing should arrange it?" Li Xingchen asked with a smile.
After a round of training in Hedong, Yang Su looked more mature, tanned a lot, and lost weight. If he went into battle, no one would have thought that this guy was actually a civil servant.
However, in history, Yang Su actually led an army from Bashu to attack Nanchen alone. He was also one of the few famous ministers in history who became a general and prime minister.
"I think that Duke Xiao should go to Hanzhong and coordinate the troops and horses to attack the Huangshui Valley from Wudu." Yang Su said directly, "General Chunyu, the defender of Hanzhong, is already old. He is capable of guarding one side, but if he leads the army to attack, I am afraid that your Majesty will also.
Can't you bear it? But the Qiang people are in chaos, and thanks to Tuyuhun's help, the Han Dynasty cannot just sit back and do nothing and allow them to send troops to the northwest."
Li Xingchen nodded.
Chun Yuliang is indeed a general who can stand alone. He has been guarding Hanzhong for many years with great stability. At least the Qiang people do not dare to take the initiative to provoke him. However, the old general is old and waning, and he may not be able to hold on for much longer. Let him lead the army.
Expedition is unrealistic.
This is also the reason why the Qiang people did not attack Tianshui and Hanzhong through Wudu and other places, and the Han army did not dare to attack rashly.
