Chapter 49: Meeting the Right Person


"Yu Changshi, you said too much, Ren Hong will still meet me next time I come, after all, it is the person recommended by Fu Jiezi.""

After all, although he is only a small flint, he can guess the behavior of the Huns, and it is not bad."

Kong Duwei said this with a smile, and he couldn't see the reproach.Yu Changshi disagreed: "What's so difficult about this, these days I have come to talk about this matter, saying that there are two or three of them who have planned a lot for the Huns." ”As Ren Hong guessed, Dunhuang County had indeed received an urgent report from Zhangye, saying that the spies arranged by Zhangye's vassal state in the Xiongnu had detected any changes in the Youxian Wang's department.There was also a Hu general who was willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty revealed that the Xiongnu Shan Yu made the Right Xian King and the Right Plough King peep at the border, thinking that Zhangye's troops were weak, and if they sent troops to test the attack, they might be able to regain Hexi, and the day of the attack was set for mid-September.So a few days ago, the four counties of Hexi have exerted their strength and began to secretly guard, and the purpose of the Huns to come to Dunhuang to disturb the border is even more obvious."

I can see that the Huns behave a lot, but they can say it so thoroughly, and it is recommended that those who will be counted out of their nests will be appointed to Ren Hong."

Kong Duwei boasted on his lips, but he did not have any intention of doing it according to the law in his heart."

But this son is young after all, everyone wants to learn Wei and Huo, but in this world, how many Wei and Huo are there?"

He snapped his fingers and counted for Changshi: "Since the beginning of Emperor Xiaowu, Xuewei and Huo took the initiative to attack those who were outside the Sai, and most of them did not end well. ”"Zhao Ponu, the Marquis of Hunye, in 103 years before the beginning of the Taichu, in order to take 20,000 cavalry, out of the fortress to attack the Hun Zuoxian King, Zuoxian King fought with 80,000 cavalry, Zhao Ponu was captured by the Huns, and the department was destroyed, and he fled back after a few years.""

Two years ago in the Tianhan Dynasty, 99, Li Ling, who had worked with me in Juyansai, was ashamed to say that he wanted to live more than 1,000 miles in Yanbei with 5,000 foot soldiers, and act as a suspicious soldier for the main force of the second division general, but he met the Xiongnu alone in the main force, Li Ling was defeated, and surrendered to the Xiongnu, and only 400 of his soldiers were allowed to escape and return to the Han.""

The worst thing is that in 90 years ago, the second division general Li Guangli sent 70,000 people out of Wuyuan to attack the Xiongnu, but encountered repeated witch Gu incidents, the Li clan was arrested and imprisoned, Li Guangli forcibly marched into Shan Yuting in order to atone for his crimes, in order to win by luck, and finally the whole army was annihilated, and the second division surrendered to the Huns."

These were the three biggest defeats of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years, and three years after the self-conquest, the Han army did not attack Hu on a large scale, and Huma gradually approached Yinshan and recaptured the Western Regions.Kong Duwei also spent time in Juyansai, and after witnessing these failures one by one, he decided one thing in his heart: the expedition was unfavorable!"

Now Ren Hong proposes to attack the right plough of the horsehair mountain, the old nest of the right plough is roughly the head, but the detailed march route and how to fight have to be determined by me.But the Dunhuang rangers are at most more than 100 miles out of the Sai Sai to investigate, and then to the north of the Horsehair Mountain, the eyes are black!

”"Even if I successfully persuade the Dunhuang Taishou and make me lead the army to carry out a risky plan, if it succeeds, I may really be able to seal the marquis, but what if I encounter the Hu people's brigade and lose?"

Even if he is lucky enough not to die and not captured, he can't sit still in the position of captain, wearing shackles, and escorting him back to Chang'an to ask for guilt is the best end.The benefits are big, the risks are also big, and Ren Hong, who is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, only sees the benefits.But Kong Duwei only saw the risk!

It took him 20 years to climb to this position, and he had his own connections in the DPRK and China, and when he came to take office, Da Honglu even said to him: "Do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes, do not seek merit, but seek no fault, you can stay up for two or three years, and you can be transferred back to the inner county as a county lieutenant." ”Therefore, Kong Duwei has already found a good position for himself: "I am a barking dog, just guard the side plug, I don't have to be a field dog, chasing a cunning rabbit, but I encountered a fierce beast in the forest." ”"Now just into the autumn is when the Huns are fattening, you can't go out of the fortress to start a war with them, not to mention, in case Dunhuang acts rashly, so that the Huns cancel the plan to enter the Kou, isn't this using their own lintel to eliminate disasters for their neighbors?""

In fact, the best way to deal with the Huns is precisely to do a good job of barking dogs, not to attack them, but to wait for them to attack and counterattack.80 years before the first year of Yuanfeng, the Xiongnu single Yufa left and right 20,000 horsemen, for the four teams, into the border for the Kou, the Shui Heng Captain Zhao Chongguo chased him, beheaded and captured 9,000 people, captured the king of Outuo, the king of Xiqi, and the Han Dynasty was lost, promoted to the general!

”"Wait, we only need to learn the general, just wait!"

Although there is nothing new in waiting for the rabbit, Yu Changshi endured the sycophants for a while, and hurriedly offered it at this moment: "Du Wei, this is a steady and stable strategy, I don't know how many times stronger than the dangerous plan of the yellow-mouthed son Ren Hong!"

”Yu Changshi pondered Kong Duwei's words before and after, and asked: "Duwei didn't hesitate to teach the difference between Ren Hong's barking dog and Tian dog, could it be that he wanted to reuse him?"

”If that's the case, then isn't his sarcastic tone just now a little too heavy?

Kong Duwei laughed out loud, pointed at Yu Changshi and said: "Old Yu, you are really joking, what kind of person is Ren Hong, how dare I use it!"

”"Except for Fu Jiezi, in order to do great things in the Western Regions, all kinds of criminals, thieves, evil teenagers and even murderers are all stuffed into their own missions, and the Taishou and Duwei who look at the world, who dares to use Ren Hong casually?"

Although Kong Duwei and Fu Jiezi both worked as officials in Juyansai and were old colleagues, this time Fu Jiezi returned, he also asked Su Yannian and Chen Pengzu to greet him, and Fu Jiezi recommended Ren Hong to be the head of the flint, and he also agreed.But Kong Duwei and Fu Jiezi, one conservative and the other radical in personality, are completely two types of people.He didn't even think that Fu Jiezi could make a name for himself in the Western Regions, after all, the previous waves of envoys to the Western Regions: a Wei Sima and a Guanglu doctor, all had a higher status than Fu Jiezi, and they were high-spirited when they went, but they died in Huangsha and died at the hands of the Huns and the city-states.Kong Duwei couldn't understand it, it was obvious that he could just save up his qualifications, why did they work so hard?

Therefore, for the sake of Fu Jiezi, the favor he sold ended here."

Ren Hong's grandfather is Ren An, who dares to ride the wall between His Majesty and Prince Wei, a two-sided unflattering witch Gu criminal official, there is only one Ren Hong left in the whole family, and his connections are lost, what good do I have to support him?""

And the person who blamed Ren An back then, what position has he done now?

The prime minister of 2,000 stones!

One level above me. ”"Although he may have forgotten Ren An's descendants now, if Ren Hong takes the lead, he will know sooner or later" Kong Duwei spread his hands: "Everyone is a feudal official, why bother offending his colleagues for a son?"

”"I see in Fu Jiezi's face, I have never deducted Ren Hong's credit, he has received too little merit, I will give him as much reward as possible, neither pressure nor lifting, it is already merciful to his subordinates.Elsewhere, hey, I'm afraid he won't even be able to be a little flint, let alone be able to bump into two credits, and he can really break through the restrictions of a hundred stone officials" "However, the confinement of the national law, with enough military merits, can break through." ”Kong Duwei held his hands, shook his head, and said the great truth that he had comprehended for 20 years: "But the water of officialdom is deep, and in addition to the national law, the imprisonment bred by human feelings and relationships is even more ubiquitous.Ren Hong thought that he had broken a wall, but in fact, the walls behind him were layered on top of each other!

The imprisonment and suppression of him has just begun!

”After Kong Duwei's failure to admonish him hit a wall, Ren Hong's life became very difficult.Full of blood, being poured cold water, no one will be comfortable, Ren Hong guessed at first, could it be that Kong Duwei wants to accept his words and not use others, leaving aside his own exclusive credit?

However, as the middle of September approached day by day, the Huns outside the Saiwai were still showing off their might, hoping to attract the Jiuquan defenders to move westward, but there was no movement at all in Dunhuang.Ren Hong understood that his proposal was directly stuck with the captain, and he didn't report it to Taishou at all.He was so depressed, he pondered for a few days, and reflected on himself.The proposal to get out of the jam is a bit of a bit of a lack of detail that is hard to believe, but which idea was perfect from the start?

Isn't perfecting the details something that the superior needs to mobilize all kinds of talents under his command to do?

So, my strategy is still a good strategy, but "I didn't meet the right person!"

Ren Hong figured it out and patted his head: "I'm also confused." ”"Do you really think that everyone is Wei Huo, and everyone is Fu Jiezi who can leave a name in history?"

Finally, the Huns who were bouncing outside the Dunhuang plug finally disappeared in mid-September, and a few days later, Ren Hong also learned a news that made him not know whether to be happy or sigh."

The right virtuous king of the Huns and the king of the plough and the king of the plough rode thousands into the fortress, and broke through the capital of Zhangye's subordinate states, and won a great victory!"
