Long live the general

When Qiu Hongguang participated in the Northern Expedition for the first time, he served as Captain Huo Yi and led a vanguard battalion of 1000 people.These 1000 people are enough to gallop across the battlefield, chasing the Huns to fight.

Regardless of whether it is as expensive as Zhennan King or as poor as Guo Xie, with [-] people in his hands, there are only [-] officials in the hands of a county magistrate.

Gathering [-] disciples and inciting the common people can easily destroy the local order and completely disregard the laws of the country. Otherwise, how could those killers slaughter the Yang family without scruple.

They are one of the causes of social chaos.

You Xia and Menke may not have Dai Yue in their hearts, and they don't say who is right and who is wrong. The key is the position?Guo Xie and King Zhennan, what they did was to stand on the opposite side of the imperial power and the imperial court.

After the handling of these two cases, the emperor's attitude has become very clear. He just doesn't allow the people below to form cliques for personal gain, create chaos and challenge the imperial power.The existence of a small group will destroy a large group. Although it is natural for people to hold together, but to reach the level of Guo Xie, is it because they want to plot rebellion.

Moreover, the diners are supported by the master, and they don't do production, but give advice to the master every day on how to do things, so Da Yue does not benefit at all.

After Guo Xie was executed, those officials who pleaded for him also fell down one after another. Now, many people came to their senses and disbanded the disciples one after another.As for those who were reluctant, at least they kept a low profile.

They found that Emperor Yuan Ding didn't pay attention to the law and didn't blame the public. How many people broke the law? He could kill as many people as possible.

Everyone in Chang'an City was in danger for a while.

When Qiu Hongguang returned to Chang'an City, the strong smell of blood hadn't dissipated.It was dusk at that time, and the sky was covered with a gorgeous sunset glow, which reflected the entire Chang'an city in red.

"Tomorrow will be a fine weather." Qiu Hongguang said to Li Feng.

Li Feng looked up at the sky. Chang'an City was square, and under the setting sun, there was a grand and heavy aura.The city gate was slowly opened, with a loud creaking sound, and ten thousand cavalry stood silently at the gate.

"Why is there such a heavy smell of blood?" Li Feng murmured.

Those who have just returned from the battlefield are most familiar with the smell of blood.

This time when the army came back, the movement was not as big as before. It was the first time that Qiu Hongguang walked in the most important position and attracted the attention of all.In the past, all the people standing here were Huo Yi. Qiu Hongguang remembered that a long time ago, he looked at Huo Yi's back, and then looked up.Standing here now, I actually don't feel anything special.

Zhou Zhenxian received them at the gate of Ziwei Palace. This time, he won a complete victory, which was really exciting for Dayue.

Qiu Hongguang ordered the army to stop, turned over and got off the horse, and then neatly half-kneeled on the ground: "Chen Qiu Hongguang, fortunately, he did not disgrace his life."

The soldiers behind him knelt down in unison. Behind him were chains of captives. Zhao Ping'an was locked in a cage and enjoyed special treatment.

That night, all the work of arranging the prisoners was left to the people below. Zhou Zhenyan received Qiu Hongguang alone in the apse and asked him to explain the details of the battle in detail.

In addition to a phased victory in the strategic sense, this battle also enabled Dai Viet to obtain very precious information about the Hexi Corridor and the Desert Royal Court.As Qiu Hongguang narrated, Huo Yi was recording beside him. It is more appropriate for him to do this kind of thing than ordinary documents, because he knows which information is the most important for combat and can fill in enough details. .

Food, water sources, climate, terrain, distribution of enemy forces, and information about surrounding countries... Both Zhou Zhenyan and Huo Yi were very excited about it.

With this information, they will not walk like blind people in the desert.

After Qiu Hongguang finished speaking, he said again: "Although this battle was a complete victory, there are still some shortcomings."

Looking back at his previous achievements, he analyzed and said: "Cavalry blitz can achieve the purpose of repelling the enemy, but it can only push flatly, cannot gather and annihilate, and cannot expand the results of the battle to completely wipe out the enemy's vital forces."

Huo Yi explained: "Do you want to occupy a certain place to consolidate the results of the battle and build a defense, or do you need infantry and chariots to support it in the rear?"

That is to say, this cavalry is like an arrow? It is invincible and indomitable during the flight? It is extremely lethal.But they can't stop, and they can't occupy those conquered areas. If the cavalry is used for defense, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. After all, the cavalry still relies on speed to fight.

Infantry and chariots are more suitable for defense.After conquering the Hetao area, Zhou Zhenyan sent [-] infantry to guard the two counties.After these years of combat experience, Dai Viet discovered that the spearmen among the infantry had an advantage over the cavalry. In border counties, most soldiers were equipped with spears and spears.

The three of them talked for a whole night about the next battle, including the Huns' response.This time Qiu Hongguang jumped on the military minister Shan Yu? It is impossible for the military minister Shan Yu? to not respond.

When it came to the time when the sky turned white, Zhou Zhenyan let Qiu Hongguang go back with unsatisfied intentions.

Qiu Hongguang had just returned from fighting, and was dragged into a detailed discussion all night before he rested at the end of the day.Fortunately, he was in excellent health. He was still in good spirits early in the morning, and walked away from the apse.

He still has to go to court today.

Huo Yi also wants to go to court.

He can't do it anymore, after all, unlike young people like Qiu Hongguang, who stay up all night and are completely stupefied in the morning?After Qiu Hongguang left, Huo Yi stared at the scroll in his hand, the ink stains on it slowly spread out, and his ears seemed to be blocked, and he could barely maintain the superficial normality.

Zhou Zhenxie called him and found that he didn't respond.

Zhou Zhenxuan called out a few more times before Huo Yi slowly raised his head, his eyes were clearly dazed and sleepy.Zhou Zhenzhen's heart moved, and he said, "Huo Qing, you can just sleep here for a while, and then go to court after waking up."

He looked at the sky, there was still half an hour before going to court, it would be better to sleep for half an hour?

Huo Yi sighed blankly, but didn't realize what he was talking about.

Zhou Zhenyan stood up, and Huo Yi stood up in a daze, Zhou Zhenyan walked forward two steps, turned around and saw that Huo Yi had followed, he smiled, and pulled Huo Yi's hand. Sleeves, took him directly to the soft cave in the hall.

This is the office? There is no bed in the Kylin Hall, only a soft bed, which is usually used for the emperor to rest.

"Sleep for a while, General Huo." He pushed Huo Yi onto the soft bed, Huo Yi resisted very much, but when he lay down? For a moment, his eyelids were like huge stones, and he fell asleep when he closed his eyes caught.

This shows that Brother Huo is in front of me? He has no defense, how big is the progress——Zhou Zhenyan said with emotion in his heart.

Within half an hour, Zhou Zhenyan read five articles, two of which scolded him, scolded him for favoritism, and scolded him for being militaristic.There are three remaining articles, one is about the problem of excessive criminal law today, one is about the current situation, and the other is about the problem of some ministers holding too much power, and even directly pointed out Today's great general, with a high position and authority, has made good friends with many ministers in the court...

Zhou Zhenzhen thought to himself, he obviously has the best relationship with me, what's the use of making friends with ministers, wouldn't it be closer to the top of the power to directly please the emperor.

What does he want? Want? What I can't give him.

I can even sit on an equal footing with him, of course, it would be better to sleep in the same bed? Well...

He put this article at the bottom? Then he went to wake Huo Yi up.

In the early court, Huo Yi changed into court clothes and went directly from the apse to the front to go to court. His Majesty the Emperor made it clear that he wanted to give him special treatment, but Huo Yi could not refuse again and again.

It's just Mu Xiuyu? Lin Feng will destroy him, so he hopes to keep a low profile.

Talking like this now is always easy to make people jealous.

Those people probably wouldn't think about how he got his current status, they just hated everything he got.

At this time, Huo Yi seemed to be walking towards a high place alone, many people pushed him up, and many people stared at him, waiting for him to fall down at any time.

The higher you go, the narrower the road.

The main purpose of this court meeting is to reward Qiu Hongguang. Qiu Hongguang granted two thousand households in Shiyi for his meritorious service, and also rewarded a lot of gold and silver. He has the title of Marquis Wu and cannot continue to be a marquis. ?The reward is already very rich?

His Majesty the Emperor? He never treats the fighters who fight to the death on the battlefield.

In addition to the rewards for the heroes, the rest is to arrange the captives.Da Viet treated the Hun captives very well? They settled down directly on the northern border, and after a long time, they stayed in Da Viet with peace of mind.

This time Qiu Hongguang brought back another person, Zhao Ping'an.

There are different opinions in the imperial court on how to deal with Zhao Pingan. Some support a decisive decision? Others support locking him up until the Zhao family spends money to redeem him. A courtier said from another angle: "Your Majesty, did Zhao Pingan meet the Xiongnu? At that time, because the troops were less than the opponent, he had no choice but to surrender. But after all, he is from Dai Viet, and now the battles are frequent, and being able to use him again shows His Majesty's mind. If there are surrenderers in the future, he will also be worried. Knowing that His Majesty is generous and benevolent, even if he is in the camp of the Huns, he will try his best to come back and serve Dai Viet? Ah."

Qiu Hongguang sneered: "Just him? Use it again, and see if he leads the Da Yue soldiers to surrender again?"

The minister shook his head and said: "His ability is insufficient, but there will always be outstanding generals in the future, just like a thousand gold begging for a horse bone."

The faces of the generals present were all a little green. What he said actually made some sense? But it always made people uncomfortable, as if General Dai Viet would be captured in the future.

Zhao Cheng stood up and said: "Although I have never been on the battlefield, but? Hearing about this, I can surrender to the Huns without worrying about being punished. In the future, I will lead the army and surrender when I see the Huns. Doesn't it mean that there is no need to fight? You don't have to be punished?"

Zhou Zhenyan listened to them discussing for a long time, Zhao Cheng, the prime minister, has a much stronger sense of presence than before, and he has done a lot of things so far.

In contrast, Huo Yi seldom said anything in the court, and most of the time he stood there very low-key.

Both sides came up with their own opinions, and then it was up to the emperor to make a decision. Zhou Zhenxie said, "What the prime minister said makes sense, so let's do as you said."

That? It was executed directly.

Others had no objection, so Zhao Ping'an was ordered to be executed.

In the prison, Zhao Ping'an squatted on the cold? Ground, surrounded by a strong? Terrible? smell, almost suffocating.It's still summer and autumn, but? It's very cold in the cell, and the air-conditioning sticks to the skin and penetrates into the bone marrow.

Zhao Pingan is waiting for his own verdict.

He remembered a long time ago when he was the general who commanded the Northern Army. At that time, his life was so happy. He had a beautiful wife and concubines at home, and people outside respected him very much.

Those days at that time, thinking about it now is like a dream... What shattered his dream? It was Huo Yi. Ever since Huo Yi returned to Chang'an, he was still young? His Majesty the Emperor? He was ready to send troops The Northern Expedition, and it was during the Northern Expedition that he lost everything and was captured by the Huns.

The life of being a prisoner was not easy. He knew that those Huns looked down on him, so he could only paralyze himself.

Yesterday, when he was sitting in the cage and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar city of Chang'an, he really realized that he had already returned to Dayue.

And the eyes of those people looking at him are no longer admiration and fear, but all become disgust and hatred, because he is a traitor of Dai Viet.

How did that happen.

How did he get down to this point step by step?

His "fate" is a process of continuous falling.

The jailer came over, took a bowl of hot rice, and said, "Eat, you can go on your way when you are full."

Zhao Pingan's numb eyes turned for a moment, and he rushed over, one eye was exposed in the weed-like hair, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, do you want to kill me? "

The jailer didn't speak, and just brought him the food. This was a routine, and he had no obligation to answer questions.

"But I can't help it..." Zhao Pingan spoke jerky? Da Viet, he was afraid of death, otherwise he would not have surrendered.

The jailer pushed the bowl, locked in the prison? People don't care what they say.

Zhao Pingan's eyes darkened, he grabbed the jailer's hand, and said sharply, "I have something to say to Your Majesty! Please let me see Your Majesty!"

The jailer frowned, and Zhao Ping'an held on too tightly, and he couldn't even break free: "Your Majesty? Did you want to see him?"

Zhao Pingan approached him, knocked over his job, pressed his face tightly against the iron grid, his eyes were so hard that they almost protruded: "I have evidence that Huo Yi intends to rebel! Huo Yi!"

The jailer was taken aback, and he stood there in a daze, and exclaimed, "General Huo?!"

"He's a great general now? Hahaha." Zhao Pingan laughed and said, "That's right, it's General Huo!"

The jailer didn't dare to be negligent, he ran out of the prison, went to see his boss first, and the boss of the jailer was not dumbfounded, how could he decide this, so he went to his boss again, and after a while Reported layer by layer, the Tingwei Office knew, the imperial envoy also knew, and the prime minister also knew.

His Majesty the Emperor? Got it too.

Zhou Zhenqian immediately sneered, this group of people would always secretly accuse Huo Yi when they wrote a letter, and now they even went to the point of directly throwing dirty water?He originally decided to ignore it, but? This news caused an uproar in the court.
