Chapter 420: Self-defeating


The Son of Heaven smiled, took a step forward, helped Liang Xiao up, looked up and down, and nodded with satisfaction.8_"Well, it's dark, it's thin, but it's sharp, and it has the invincible momentum of a famous general." ”Liang Xiao was stunned and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty praises falsely, and the ministers dare not be ashamed."

The minister is just a little brave, fighting His Majesty Shengming, a small success, where do you dare to call a famous general.If you want to talk about famous generals, the three generals Cheng Han and Li are the real famous generals, and our juniors are beyond their reach. ”"Oh" The Son of Heaven blinked his eyes and took Liang Xiao's arm to the temple."

The military newspaper said it briefly, I can't enjoy reading it, you can listen to it carefully, and let me understand the combat style of my famous generals, so that I can make some preparations for the next war.""

Only" Liang Xiao responded, sat down opposite the Son of Heaven, cleared his throat, and began to tell the story of this battle.Liang Xiao didn't talk much about his exploits.These exploits have been reported, and the Son of Heaven is clear, and there is no need for him to brag about himself anymore.What's more, the Son of Heaven has already shown his suspicion of him, and his boasting will only backfire.It's too much, and being humble is the way to go.Although he was unhappy with the Son of Heaven's approach, he knew better that in all dynasties, the court's suspicion of military generals was objective, Han Gaozu to Han Xin and Peng Yue, Emperor Wen of Han to Zhou Bo, and Emperor Jing of Han to Zhou Yafu.Comparatively speaking, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was quite confident, and he only hid Wei Qing and did not poison him.Liang Xiao carefully recounted the combat experience, especially emphasizing the merits of Cheng Buzhi.If Cheng Buzhi had not held on to Daze, King Youxian would have inevitably invaded the Hetao, and the Han army would not have been able to avoid the collapse of the entire front.After listening to Liang Xiao's narration, the Son of Heaven was very surprised.In the battle report he received, although Cheng Buzhi was meritorious, the number of beheadings was limited, and he was at the bottom of the three main generals, even inferior to Han Anguo."

Cheng Buzhi's role is so big" "Your Majesty, the minister is ignorant, and secretly thinks that General Cheng will not let the Wei Qing Department support General Han.Whether General Han can compress King Lou Fu to the Shimenshui area is a question.If the two sides fight north and south of the river, with the number of cavalry of our army, even if the victory is a small victory, the defeat will be a heavy defeat. ”The Son of Heaven looked at the map.__8 nodded slowly, and a cool breath came out of the back of his neck.Liang Xiao hit the nail on the head, although the Han army had an army of 100,000, the number of cavalry was too small, only 35,000.The total number of troops that the Xiongnu put into the battlefield was as high as 130,000.When I heard that the Xiongnu Shan Yu and the Right Xian King rushed to support.They are aware of the disparity in strength between the two sides and are worried about it.Now that I think about it, if the Han army fails to gain an advantage in the early stage, I am afraid that the consequences will be even more unimaginable.They all underestimated the significance of Cheng Buzhi sending Wei Qing to support Han Anguo, and similarly, they also underestimated the significance of Cheng Buzhi sticking to Daze.Although Cheng Buzhi's number of beheadings in this war is not much, the role he plays is not trivial.It can even be said that without Cheng Buzhi's decision to sacrifice himself twice, it would have been impossible to win this battle."

Cheng doesn't know how to merit."

The Son of Heaven pressed the map with both hands and nodded slowly."

Your Majesty."

The Son of Heaven smiled slightly.Raised his eyelids and looked at Liang Xiao."

In this way, I'm afraid that the gong is not for you and General Li, don't you think it's a pity?"

"It's a pity. ”Liang Xiao said: "However, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.General Li is upright and upright, and he refuses to be greedy for the merits of others, and how dare the ministers do it again, His Majesty's eyes are like torches, and there is nothing to hide from his loyalty and treachery.The minister did not dare to take any chances. ”"Yes" Tianzi's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth pursed with an inexplicable smile."

Eyes are like torches, I'm afraid I don't dare to be.Don't say anything else, you.I can't see clearly. ”Liang Xiao's eyebrows jumped, and the heart of the drama really came.I don't know where the flaw is, but he noticed it.Could it be that the suppression has something to do with this, Liang Xiao was prepared, unhurried, and looked at the Son of Heaven with an innocent face."

The minister doesn't quite understand, and I ask Your Majesty to make it clear."

The Son of Heaven smiled even more mysteriously."

You are from Jiangdu.Your master Huan Jun is also from Jiangdu, but your riding skills are so exquisite, even the Huns are willing to bow down, I really don't know where it came from, is it God's gift" Liang Xiao suddenly realized, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.The Son of Heaven was a little embarrassed by his laughter, and the smile on his face was a little unnatural.__8 He suddenly felt that he was probably thinking too much."

Your Majesty, although the minister's riding technique has its own comprehension, it is not a heavenly gift, but its own inheritance.The art of war passed on to the minister by Huan Jun, the minister's mentor, is the art of war of the king, and the most subtle part of it is cavalry tactics.As for whether King Xiang is granted by heaven, the minister is not clear.However, Chen felt that even if it was given by God, it could not mean anything. ”The Son of Heaven was stunned."

Heavenly Mandate doesn't mean anything, you don't believe in the Mandate of Heaven" Liang Xiao smiled weirdly, and asked rhetorically: "If Heavenly Mandate is Mandate of Heaven, then why is the result of the dispute between Chu and Han being Chu and Han Xing" The Son of Heaven was suddenly speechless, and his face was slightly red.The Han Dynasty was the first dynasty in Chinese history to be founded by commoners.The dynasties before the Han Dynasty were all backed by divine blood, even Xiang Yu had the status of a Chu nobleman, while Liu Bang was a commoner with no noble blood.The legitimacy of the regime has always been the weakness of the Han Dynasty, and the struggle for the Mandate of Heaven has become an unspeakable pain in the Han Dynasty.Yuan Gusheng and Huang Sheng disputed the Tangwu Revolution, why Huang Sheng lost because according to Taoist doctrine, King Wu of Zhou was guilty of the following.The way of Huang Lao maintained the revival of the Han Dynasty, but it could not solve this problem, which was one of the reasons why it was finally abandoned by the imperial court.One of the important reasons why Confucianism can monopolize Confucianism and adopt the Five Virtues Theory is to find the basis for the legitimacy of the regime for the Han family.Not long ago, among Dong Zhongshu's three strategies for heaven and man, the most important one was to answer the question of the mandate of heaven.It can be said that the successive emperors of the Han Dynasty, including Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself, have always had little confidence in the matter of the Mandate of Heaven.They know their own details, and myths such as the Red Emperor are deceitful, and they also know in their hearts that this kind of empty talk cannot convince the public at all.Han Gaozu called himself the son of the Red Emperor, while sacrificing to the Black Emperor, he slapped himself in the mouth, and Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was deceived by Aragaki Ping, and he smiled generously, all of which were manifestations of their lack of confidence and rushing to the doctor.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so anxious to ask for advice, which is also a manifestation of this mentality.He was afraid of Xiang Yu, also out of this lack of confidence.At this moment, he was somewhat embarrassed to be broken by Liang Xiao's words.He hesitated for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Since it has nothing to do with the Mandate of Heaven, then in your opinion, what is the reason for the death of Chu and the rise of the Han Dynasty?"

”"Which judgment" "The one who benefits the world wins." ”The Son of Heaven raised his eyebrows, thoughtfully.He rolled his eyes and crooked his mouth."

Do you think what Wang Ling said is more reasonable than Emperor Gao," Liang Xiao smiled."

The ancients had clouds, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing.With the mind of the minister, he can only comprehend the level of the royal tomb.As for what Emperor Gao said, the ministers were stupid and did not dare to boast. ”The Son of Heaven looked at Liang Xiao, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed."

What a sharp mouth, covered with splendid embroidery on the outside, and gold needles inside, it is more ruthless than the baggage you burned the Huns.I almost fell for your plan, Tai'a upside down. ”Liang Xiao was dazed."

What is Your Majesty talking about, the minister is stupid, I really don't understand" "Okay, okay. ”The Son of Heaven waved his hand and interrupted Liang Xiao."

I won't tell you.You've come all the way back, and you're tired.Go home and rest first, and set off in two days. ”"Only" Liang Xiao promised, got up to say goodbye, and went home from the palace.After Liang Xiao left, the Son of Heaven coughed: "Yan Zhu, come out." ”Yan Zhu arched his hands and walked out from behind the curtain, his face embarrassed.He secretly glanced at the Son of Heaven."

Your Majesty, Liang Xiao really has a sharp mouth.The ministers have been at home for many years, and they can only bow to the wind, and they are ashamed. ”"It's not easy for you to admit defeat strictly."

The Son of Heaven pursed his lips and tapped his fingers on the desk."

Liang Xiao is frank, but he looks like a chicken's belly.If you don't reward him, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers.Do you say that "Yan Zhu is bitter in his mouth."

He wanted to stumble on Liang Xiao, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating and hit himself in the foot.If today's son apologizes to Liang Xiao and wants to reward Liang Xiao again, this is really not his intention.However, he didn't dare to say anything, as the Son of Heaven said, Liang Xiao's words were insidious, and if he didn't get it, he would trap himself in.Besides, the Son of Heaven was so important to Liang Xiao before, let him wear the armor given by the emperor to go to Longyou, and now he suddenly suppresses him, isn't it the time to slap the Son of Heaven at the moment when he uses soldiers, if Liang Xiao is suppressed because of some unfounded speculation, it will inevitably affect morale."

Your Majesty."

The Son of Heaven knocked on the desk and muttered, "Then what is the reward for him?"

Yan Zhu was silent.When Liang Xiao returned home, the Liang family was jubilant.Liang Xiao pulled Liang Xiao to look left and right, and saw that Liang Xiao was not missing any parts, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.During the time when Liang Xiao went on the expedition, she was very worried.In the past, she was thinking about sealing the marquis, and she didn't care about Liang Xiao, but now that Liang Xiao has been sealed as the marquis, Liang Xiao's safety has become her most concern."

When I come back this time, don't go to war again, rest at home for a while, give birth to a few boys, and let my mother hug me.""

Mother, it is estimated that the battle will not be fought for the time being, but it is unlikely to rest at home."

Liang Xiao said: "Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, was killed, and I was ordered to escort his coffin back to Jiangdu."

It takes at least two or three months to come and go. ”"The king of Jiangdu is dead" Liang Xiao was taken aback.Huan Yuan was also a little sad."

Sure enough, the crockpot will not leave the well, and the general will inevitably die.The battle array is dangerous, and you must not be brave and aggressive. ”"Yes, yes.Xiao'er, you have to be careful in the future, don't rush forward without moving. ”Liang Yuan was afraid, took Liang Xiao's hand, and said in a loud voice: "My Liang family is rich now, and there is no need to work so hard anymore." ”Liang Xiao nodded again and again.The mother and son finally agreed.The family was talking lively, and someone came to report
