Chapter 160 The First Day of Fenghou Takes!
(Add 8/10 for the silver cute people under the sycamore tree)
...
"You little boy, you actually said that this general is Zhao Kuo?"
Fan Mingyou didn't understand Ren Hong's words at first, but only realized it after reminding the virtuous literary scholars who were temporarily forming a team with him.
Fan Mingyou is recognized as the second best-in-command military use in the current court after Zhao Chongguo. In his early years, he attacked the southwestern Yizhou and treason. Later, he served as the captain of the Qiang Cavalry and followed the army to pacify the rebellion of the Di people in Wudu County. He thus made his mark. General Huo Guang also had a lot of eyes on him and married his daughter to marry him.
Later, he was promoted to General of the Central Army and was named General of Du Liao. Last year, he sent 20,000 troops to attack Wuhuan and beheaded more than 6,000, which was a great victory. Later, Wuhuan rebelled on Youzhou again, and Fan Mingyou repeatedly attacked Ping, which made the Wuhuan people terrified when they heard about Mingyou's name. They could only submit to Han and protect outside the frontier, and investigated the movements of the Zuoxian King of the Huns for the Han Dynasty.
Fan Mingyou was thus named Marquis of Pingling. He and Fu Jiezi, who killed King Loulan, were the most dazzling star of that year, with flowers blooming from both east and west.
But when the two argued whether to first take the Western Regions to cut off the right arm of the Xiongnu or drive the Wuhuan Xianbei to attack the Xiongnu and cut off their left arm, Fan Mingyou got into a feud with Fu Jiezi. He thought that Fu Jiezi had just been lucky enough to cut off a head of King Loulan. How could he compare to his own Wuhuan level 6,000? The general was still turning his elbow outward, so it was quite unfair.
Such a general who was very proud of his military achievements and military strategy was called "Zhao Kuo" by Ren Hong. How could he not be angry? Fortunately, he planned to impeach Fu Jiezi just now, and did not want to target Ren Hong. This boy is so ungrateful!
Even Yang Yun, a madman who always claimed to be fearless, silently distanced himself from Ren Hong. His family could not afford to offend the general's son-in-law.
Chang Hui also began to worry. Although Fan Mingyou is not considered to be of high status and power, he is the son-in-law of the general and no one is willing to provoke him on weekdays.
But Ren Hong was willing to do so. In the eyes of others, he, a minor official who stood out from Fu Jiezi's mission, had long been in the shape of a Marquis of Yiyang.
In the Han Dynasty, the relationship between the lord and the person being promoted was very special, just like a monarch and his subject, and betrayal will be despised by the world. This label cannot be washed away or removed, and there is no need to worry about tearing apart, so just say everything you should say!
So Ren Hong smiled and said, "How dare you question General Fan's ability to use troops? What I am talking about is the virtuous literary scholars who accused Fu Gong of the enemy and refused to fight. They are really inferior to Zhao Kuo."
"Zhao Kuo is at least proficient in military arts, but I think all the virtuous literature have never even turned over military arts, and they are barking here!"
This revelation a burst of angry noise. Seeing several doctoral men with high crowns and wide sleeves about to speak, Ren Hong showed his loud voice he had practiced in the empty land of the Western Regions, overshadowing their noise.
"I wonder General Fan, what kind of military order was he ordered when the Marquis of Yiyang went out of the frontier?"
Fan Mingyou did not answer, Ren Hong answered for him: "Listen Quli, the encirclement of the Iron Gate, to protect these hard-earned farming sites! That's all, the Han Dynasty did not want him to destroy the right army, nor did he want him to capture the king of Youguli."
Ren Hong talked jokingly: "I have read military books, so I know that Sun Tzu of Wu has a word. If you are on the outside, you will have something to do without help. The army will not attack, the city will not attack, and the land will not fight! As long as you can achieve the goal of rescuing, whether to fight or not, whether to capture or not, shouldn't it be up to the Marquis of Yiyang to decide by himself?"
He bowed to Huo Guang: "General, the situation on that day was that nearly 20,000 people from the Xiongnu Youxian King's troops surrounded Quli Tiemen. Although I used a plan to make Youguli King and Youxian King separate, the main force of the right was still there and was hiding near Quli. I wanted to take advantage of the reinforcements from Yiyang Hou to come from afar, waiting for the effort."
"Although the Marquis of Yiyang asked Jiuquan County to gather cavalry in advance and attack the right land, will the Right Xian King retreat? It is still unknown that the war may not necessarily gain the upper hand, and Wusun will not cross the Luntai line. We can only use the Right Guli King."
"He can raise the troops of the King of Youguli to rebel against the Huns, so he can ensure that the Han army in the Western Regions have been safely stationed for several years and cause chaos in the Huns. Although King of Youguli was killed by King Riju, our plan failed, but when King of Youguli heard that he had passed the Iron Gate, he hurriedly retreated his troops, and the siege of Quli Tiemen was lifted."
"The Marquis of Yiyang has completed the mission entrusted by the court. He will defeat others without fighting. The good ones are good, which is also a great victory. But why did someone in the court hold him accountable for why he did not attack a certain city, why did he not take a certain place, and why did he not capture someone?"
You can do it, you can go!
"When the first time that Changping Liehou went out of the frontier, he went to Longcheng in the south of Mo and beheaded at level 700, would Emperor Xiaowu blame him for not moving forward for a while and burning the Shanyu Ting, which was still near Yinshan at that time?"
Ren Hong bowed respectfully to the north again: "Huo Piao went out of Hexi, defeated King Xiu Tu, annihilated nearly 9,000 enemies, and seized the Jin people who sacrificed the heaven. Will the court blame him for not going further and taking all Hexi?"
"The wise man's concerns must be mixed with interests. A wise general must consider both the interests and interests. He must not just seek merit and profit, use his troops hastily, and want to succeed in one fell swoop."
"We are not unaware that capturing and surrendering King Youguli is a great achievement. As long as Duke Fu and I come back with him, even if Quli is lost and the iron gate does not exist, we will still be rewarded."
"But the Marquis of Yiyang is different from you. What you consider is not personal merit, but national security, and the lives of soldiers. If you change to you here, you may be afraid of greed for merit, and the blood of officials and soldiers has already floated! The virtuous literary people are full of kindness on weekdays, so why don't they cherish the lives of soldiers at this time?"
Ren Hong finished speaking in one breath and bowed to Huo Guang.
And all the storm that had just been targeting Fu Jiezi was smashed at him at this moment.
"In this way, was King Youguli who was Ren and the Marquis of Yiyang discussed together?"
"General, it seems that Ren Hong is also wrong in this matter. Whether he should be granted a marquis is also questionable!"
But from the beginning to the end, Huo Guang only listened to their arguments expressionlessly.
I just waved my hand suddenly.
"There is no need to stand, sit down and say."
After saying that, he knelt down after the case sent by Daxing to move in, facing the palace, and facing the ministers.
Everyone had to temporarily stop the noise and sat down in their respective positions.
Only Ren Hong was humble and stood still.
No, there is one more person.
Ren Hong saw that a nobleman listed among civil servants still stood proudly. Although he was only over 50 years old, his hair was gray. His back was a little hunched and his body was extremely thin.
But even the cold wind of Lake Baikal cannot blow down this man! Although the scepter is not in his hand, he himself has long become a banner that the great man looks up to!
From beginning to end, only Ren Hong was fighting, and Fu Jiezi was just a small marquis. Even Xin Wuxian, the Changshui School Captain, had to consider whether to offend Fan Mingyou.
But this person is not afraid!
He had already given everything he had for this country and made the young man grow old. He thought he would end all his sufferings after returning to China, but found that all his brothers were dead, his mother was dead, and even his first wife could not wait for him, so he remarried.
Fortunately, I have a son.
But Cangtian made a big joke with him. A few years ago, even his only son was involved in the coup of Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang and was brutally killed. When he came to his senses, he was already childless and alone.
Tell me, Su Wu and Su Ziqing, what else can you be afraid of?
Huo Guang also looked at the old white-haired minister, and his attitude was rare to respect:
"Dict vassal state, do you have something to say?"
"Today's controversy reminds me of something."
Su Wu did not look at Ren Hong in his rear, but just smiled and said, "I heard that Emperor Gao and Xiang Jihu competed for the world, fought against Pengcheng, which was not good. He retreated to Xingyang, and all the princes rebelled, and followed Chu and turned against Han."
"Emperor Gao summoned all the ministers and said, "Who can send me a mission to Huainan for me and ask Yingbu to send troops to rebel against Chu, and leave King Xiang in Qi for several months. I can win the world."
"At that time, an old scholar, Sui He, asked to go to Jiujiang to persuade King Yingbu of Jiujiang. He moved Yingbu with a good word and sent troops to attack Chu, but was defeated by Long Qi. He fled alone to the place where Emperor Gaozu was."
"Will Emperor Gaozu punish Suihe for Ying Bu's defeat? No, he rewarded Suihe heavily and made him the captain of the guard. Because Suihe had completed his mission, although Ying Bu was defeated, he also delayed Xiang Ji for several months for Emperor Gao, causing Guanzhong to calmly mobilize troops to the front line and stabilize the situation of the war. How could he blame Suihe in turn?"
"It's so similar to what happened today. Although the Marquis of Yiyang and Ren Hong made it happen and Queen Youguli was killed by the Huns, but failed to surrender and capture it. However, it also made the Right Virtuous King of the Huns frightened to retreat, and the cities in the Western Regions were preserved."
"Since the result is great, why should I punish the Marquis of Yiyang who completed the military's life? Why should I make things difficult and exhaust my wisdom and unite the Wusun for the Han Dynasty and promote Ren Hong who has been in power for thousands of miles?"
"I have also been an envoy. I dare say that if anyone who questioned Ren Hong today would not do better than him if he went to the Western Regions."
Unlike Ren Hong's speech, he spoke very slowly and his tone was soft, but no one dared to interrupt him.
Su Wu finally bowed to Huo Guang and said, "I don't expect General Fan, the Great Honglu and all the virtuous literature have the dignity and wisdom of Emperor Gaozu."
"But at least, don't learn Xiang Ji. You have no record of others' achievements and no demerits in others' faults. Xiang Ji is so arrogant and has little kindness to his soldiers. This is the way of defeat. This is the sincere words of Wu Xinxin. I hope the general will observe it!"
Huo Guang stood up and bowed and returned: "Who can match Ziqing's sincerity to the Han Dynasty? This is reasonable. The Han Dynasty should follow the wisdom of Emperor Gaozu, not Xiang Ji's foolishness!"
He looked at his son-in-law and said lightly: "General Du Liao, the Great Honglu, the matters in the Western Regions have been decided. There is no need to discuss them anymore. Let's first prepare what we want to do today."
"Come on the pen!"
Huo Guang stretched out his hand, and the big merchant quickly presented the pen and ink. Huo Guang changed several pens on a memorial that had been prepared for a long time - whether it was the discussion of the Prime Minister's Mansion or the noise in the palace today, it was just listening to opinions. It was useless. Huo Guang had already made arbitrary decision.
"Read it."
Daxing took it with both hands, glanced at the place where Huo Guang changed, and knew it in his heart, and then he said loudly:
"My minister, General Ma, led the Secretary of the Secretariat Shi Guang said: King Jiangbin of Kucha colluded with the barbarians and trapped us Luntai, killing hundreds of officials and soldiers. The right wise king of the Huns chased the king and surrounded the iron gate, and ploughed the soldiers, and the soldiers were exhausted from their arrows and food, and they ate the flesh of the enemy and drank their blood. They were about to be destroyed every day. The matter was greatly promoted to foreign countries, and the name of Tianhan was severely damaged."
"There is a visitor, Hong, who inherited the sage fingers, leaned against the gods, crossed the Tianshan Mountains and captured the soldiers of Wusun. He then stormed Kucha, slaughtered the Sanchong City, burned the flag of the dragon horse, killed the head of Jiangbin, and raised the flag of the Gan city. He also died a hundred times and entered the Jue Realm. Luntai beheaded more than a thousand enemies. The fire bull in the iron gate defeated the Riju King, and obtained the head of the King Yuli King. He skillfully used a plan of alienation, so that the right king wolf ran to break, and defeated the soldiers without fighting, and made Zhaoming's achievements, and promoted his power thousands of miles away."
"When the states in the north and the south heard the news, they were all afraid of the shaking. Gumo, Shule, Wensu, Weitou, Shache and other eight countries were brave enough to be proud of their guests, willing to defend the Western vassal states and be resigned for many generations."
"Now, the head of the King of Yuli has been passed on to the barbarian residences and is hung in the northern palace. Hong has made great achievements and has made great achievements in the Western Regions. The Book of Changes says: 'There is a good fortune and the leader will not be ugly.' It says that the beautiful person who is evil, but all those who are not suitable come to follow. Those who are great achievements do not record small mistakes, and those who are great beauty do not flaw in fine flaws. Sima Fa says, 'The rewards of the army will not exceed a month', and people who want the people to quickly obtain good benefits, so it is appropriate to express their achievements and receive titles from the ground to split the soil."
"We should reward 300 kilograms of gold, give the first house in Shangguanli, and be granted the title of marquis and 900 households in the town! I hope the emperor will be killed!"
Finally finished reading, Daxing looked at Ren Hong, who was bowing down. Although this was just the "suggestion" given to the emperor by the general, everyone knew it.
Your Majesty never objected to the general's memorial. Every time he sent it, it was a unified "superior"!
Ren Hong’s title of Marquis is a foregone conclusion. It is really enviable that he became Marquis at such a young age.
"The envoy, Hong, was appointed as the Jinma Gate. After the Grand General of the Sima reported to the emperor, he went to Xuanshi Hall. The emperor personally enfeoffed the talisman and obtained the title of the country!"
"No!" Ren Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter was finally over.
The dust settled, and everyone in the hall looked different. Huo Guang was still calm. Su Wu smiled slightly, and Chang Hui was overjoyed. Although it was not as high as the maximum number of households he had fought for Ren Hong, it was already very good.
Only Fan Mingyou's face was shady and sunny, while Dahonglu and Xianliang Literature sighed, and there was another good minister in the court.
As for the other ministers who were silly talking, what they said was that Ren Hong was young and was once a subordinate of Fu Jiezi, but now he was named a marquis, but he has two hundred more households than Fu Jiezi?
But what Ren Hong and a few smart people thought was that General Huo had just heard his and Su Wu's words, and where did General Huo change the memorial on this marquis?
"Is it added! Or reduced?"
Chapter completed!
