As the ice and snow melted in Guanzhong, the communication speed was nearly doubled, and the three front-line battle reports sent from Jincheng County on January 28 of the first year of Yuan Ting were sent to Weiyang Palace Shangshutai on the sixth day of the second month under the report of Yishu Pegasus.It's almost fast, but the three letters from the rear general Zhao Chongguo, Taishou Haoxingci, and Duwei Xin Wuxian are very different, and Huo Guang has to carefully weigh who is telling the truth and who is lying.First of all, Hao Xingci impeached Xin Wuxian, saying that the western governor: "Regardless of the safety of the county, greedy for merit, now put zero first, hit Beihe first, release the death of the innocent, one difficulty, two harms, it is not Your Majesty's plan." ”In short, Hao Xingci believes that Xin Wuxian single-handedly caused the emptiness in the rear, so that Zhuqiang could drive straight in, so that the two counties of Jincheng were broken, and he also broke the plan to attract other Qiang troops to besiege Xian Zero, and he should be punished!
And Xin Wuxian's Song Shuli defended himself, mentioning that when the Qiang Rebellion broke out, he agreed with Taishou and Huqiang Lieutenant that Xin Wuxian would attack the west, Haoxing would guard the county government, and Ren Hong would guard the north.It was Haoxingci's incompetence in defending the land, which led to the fall of the rear, and the Qiang captives showed off their might in the county town, and he had to return to the division in advance, otherwise he would definitely be able to create greater results than burning the Great Elm Valley and beheading the Qiang captives for 3,000.As for why he didn't fight Lingqiang first, but beat Beihe Qiang, who had accepted the seal of the Han Dynasty's Guiyi Qiang king, Xin Wuxian didn't dare to say that he was too eager, and killed him when he saw that there were Qiang people grazing in Huangyuan, only to find out afterwards that he had made a mistake.It is impossible to apologize, Xin Wuxian can only emphasize the two ends of the Beihe Qiang head rat, secretly help Xian Ling, and plan to attack his expeditionary force, he had to lead troops to counterattack, seize his livestock property, and capture his wife as punishment.After watching the two of them, Huo Guang shook his head: "If Hao Xingci is in the inner county, he is a good official, but in the border county, he is a little in a hurry, as for Xin Wuxian and Li Guang, they are also brave and famous, and they often make mistakes when they really fight." ”But the embarrassing thing is that they are already the most suitable candidate for Huo Guang, and if they change to someone else, I am afraid that it will be even worse.This is the helplessness of the employer, Huo Guang sometimes misses the scene of Emperor Xiaowu, when he was full of talents.Recalling that year, above the Chang'an Palace, the elegant Gongsun Hong, Dong Zhongshu, and Er Kuan; Dedicated to stone construction, stone qing; The quality is straight, and the style is dark; Tui Xian is Han Anguo and Zheng at that time; Zhao Yu and Zhang Tang were ordered; The chapter is Sima Qian, similar; Funny is Dongfang Shuo, Mei Gao; The response is Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen; The number of calendars is Tang Capital, Luo Xia Hong; Li Yannian; Operational planning is Sang Hong sheep; envoys are Zhang Qian and Su Wu; Not to mention the few people who were bequeathed by Wei Qing and Huo Quai, the rest are invincible."
Han Zhi won people, Yu Zi is prosperous, but unfortunately most of them are withered now."
In the post-Han Wu era, they were all supported by the old guys who emerged after the early years, such as him Huo Guang, as well as Su Wu and Zhao Chongguo.Zhao Chongguo's recital was more pertinent, and he roughly described what he saw when he arrived in Jincheng County, including Hao Xingci's misdemeanor, Xin Wuxian's carelessness, and Ren Hong's brilliance in the northern part of Jincheng County.The last son of the general Huo Guang in Jincheng was proved to be very correct.However, Zhao Chongguo believes that at this extraordinary time, it is not appropriate to suddenly change the situation and cause turmoil, and it is most important to work together to calm down the Qiang chaos first.Ke Hao Xingci and Xin Wuxian have already attacked each other to this extent, how can they work together?
Zhao Chongguo didn't say it, but Huo Guang understood that this post-general was asking for power, and he wanted Hehuang's military and political power.Then there is Zhao Chongguo's tirade, analyzing the current plan of Lingqiang to lead the troops away, into the land of water and grass, into the mountains and forests, if the Han army pursues deeply, the enemy army will take advantage of the complex landform of the river to cut off the grain route of the Han soldiers.Even if you can kill and injure the Qiang captives and capture some cattle and sheep, there will also be the worry of overturning, once you lose, it will increase the morale of the first zero, and it will also make the Qiang have more wait-and-see ideas, so it is better to garrison the troops in Tuntian."
The ministers heard that those who were not good at attacking in the art of war had more than enough to defend, and they also said that those who were good at fighting would cause people, but not others."
According to this principle, Zhao Chongguo mentioned the twelve benefits of Tuntian Huang in one breath."
Nine schools of infantry and two schools of cavalry of the Qiang army, generals and soldiers are private, a total of 10,281 people, 27,000 dry 363 grains per month, 308 grains per month, Jincheng is short of grain, Longxi Tianshui transfer road is far away and the loss is too great, and it is easy to be attacked by Zhuqiang, it is better to take the field on the spot for convenience, because the field causes the valley, take the water as the road, the boat carries grain, and saves the expenses of the imperial court.""
The army is stationed in the key places of Huangshui transportation, isolating the Qiang tribes, so that they cannot unite, these two.""
Occupy the first zero, Sister Qiang valley 2,000 hectares of land, so that it cannot be returned to the fertile land, poor people, so that they are trapped in the bitter cold heights, so that the Qiang prisoners complain and betray each other, these three.""
To cut down wood and quarry in the soldiers' spare time, build city barriers and dangerous blockages, renovate post booths, to guard the golden city, so that the people do not lose their business due to war, these four" ""rectify the roads and bridges around the Huangxia, so that the passage to the Huangyuan, so as to control the whole territory of the river, go straight to the sea of fresh water, and raise the prestige for thousands of miles, this eleven. ”"The big expense is saved, and the servitude is rested, so as to be safe, this twelve."
This twelfth article is about Ren Hong's proposal that the Xiongnu instigated the Xiqiang rebellion, and there was no other plot."
Stay in Tuntian and get 12 pence, and send troops to lose 12 benefits.Under the ministers of the country, the dogs and horses are declining, and they don't know the long-term strategy, but the county officials, generals, and ministers are chosen!
”Huo Guang finished reading it, and he was no longer worried about Xiqiang."
The weight of the power is not damaged inside, and the momentum of the captives is not allowed to take advantage of the momentum, this is the strategy of eternity!"
This is also the reason why he reuses Zhao Chongguo.It's a pity that he is too old to be the son-in-law of his Huo family.And his son Zhao Wei is too mediocre, not enough for Huo Guang to throw a daughter over.Speaking of his daughter, he remembered another person."
Captain Ren Hong's recital, why hasn't it arrived yet?
Is it injured that you can't even read a book, and let someone ghostwrite?
”In the end, Ren Hong's recital was actually half a day later than the three, Huo Guang knew his intentions very well, this son was clever again, Hao Xingci and Xin Wuxian attacked each other, he made it clear that he didn't want to offend anyone, anyway, with the two of them, the political achievements of Captain Huqiang stood out from the crowd, and the two chickens pecked each other, so there was no need for him to get involved.Ren Hong only euphemistically mentioned that although Beihe was the same as Xian Ling because of Xin Wuxian's mistakes, he had a rear that Xian Ling could rely on, but he could still appease Han Kaiqiang in the south and donate the big and small elm valleys to him.The five departments of the wolf surnamed Xiaoyue in the north marched south at the instigation of the Xiongnu envoys, and Ren Hong also had a plan to appease them, and in the second half of his recital, he had been emphasizing the actions of the Xiongnu, worried that Shan Yu would follow the example of the Yueshi and Donghu to launch a surprise attack on Wusun.Du Yannian, Tian Guangming and others in China and North Korea were also worried about this.Huo Guang said: "Ren Daoyuan's worries are not unreasonable, the Xiongnu took advantage of the Han Dynasty to have something to do in Wuhuan and Xiqiang, and the direction of the attack is indeed more likely to be Wusun than Hexi." ”"But today's Huns, how can they suddenly take the courage to draw the people of the bow into one family, and control the hundred barbarian powers of 400,000?
After being beaten by Emperor Xiaowu for so many years, Hu Lu's strength has been cut by half, and even the little Wuhuan can't be extinguished, and he wants to annex Wusun, who controls 100,000 strings in one fell swoop?
Easier said than done. ”Huo Guang wasn't too worried: "Anyway, it's too late to send a messenger to warn now, so we can only prepare for the big battle.""
It's not a bad thing to let Wusun be hurt by the Huns once, there has always been only the Han envoy to instigate Wusun to form an alliance, this time, let the Wusun envoy come to cry Han Ting, and ask the Han to send troops to unite with it!"
On the other hand, although Ren Hong was "seriously injured", he still made a posture of office with injuries, and in early February, he and Jin Xian were ordered by Zhao Chongguo to lead 3,000 soldiers across the Huangxia Gorge.Zhao Chongguo divided the army into several units and stationed them at the main traffic routes.Wait until the river ice thaws and transports the timber, repairs the pavilion tunnel, dredges the ditch, and remediates the roads and bridges west of the Huangxia Gorge so that the passage can reach the vicinity of fresh water.In the spring of half a month, the field ploughing began, and each soldier was given 20 acres of land, and the grass grew in April, and Ren Hong took the recruits, Hu Caigan, and 200 deputy horses who were familiar with the local terrain, and grazed and grazing by the river, as a mobile force to defend the cultivators.When he arrived at a place called "Xiping Pavilion" dozens of miles west of Huangxia, Ren Hong was attracted by a unique beacon.Ren Hong has been a flint chief, and he has seen countless beacons in Hexi, but most of them are made of rammed earth, but the flint of Xiping Pavilion is made of stone.He looked around the building, which was nearly ten zhang high, but saw that its building materials were stone flakes and yellow clay common in the local area, and the inner side of the stone wall was perpendicular to the ground, and the outer side was slightly inclined from bottom to top, with a total of three floors, and the function was similar to that of the broken flint that Ren Hong had treated.But the sturdiness is even better.Ren Hong summoned the local pavilion chief and asked, "How long has this beacon been repaired, and why is it made of stone?"
”"Dare to tell Ren Huqiang, as early as decades ago, General Li Xi built it when he conquered Qiang, as the western boundary of Jincheng County, and later abandoned, as for why the stone is used" The pavilion chief pointed to the big mountain that surrounded this river valley: "Due to the lack of raw soil that can be tamped, there are many stones, of course, the waste soil is used with stones." ”Having said that, Ren Hong looked at the shape of the Xiping Pavilion Fengsui, isn't it the Qiang watchtower in the Gan and Qing areas of later generations?
However, I heard that the Hehuangqiang people did not have a city, and they only lived in simple and low stone houses in the river valley for the winter, and did not have the ability to build such tall buildings.Using the Qiang watchtowers of later generations to deal with the current Qiang people, this is really a vicious method.Ren Hong pondered: "Even the barrier city that I want to build new can be built with stones. ”As a supplement to Zhao Chongguo's Tuntian policy, Ren Hong proposed to build a barrier city west of Huangxia as a garrison for Tuntian soldiers, and in the future, after the Qiang Rebellion was pacified, a new county could be established.Ren Hong said this selfishly, he went to the post of captain of Huqiang for five months, and he achieved remarkable results, first recruiting the surname Xiaoyue to surrender, and there were many household registrations.He also led his troops to defeat Qiang and won a great victory, keeping Jincheng from losing, and his military exploits were gained.There is only one last item missing, and that is the expansion of territory that Xin Wuxian never forgets.His achievements as a lieutenant of Qiang will be brushed up, and when the time comes, he will report a "recurrence of an old injury", maybe Huo Guang will transfer him back to Chang'an, anyway, Xiqiang has Zhao Chongguo in charge, and it is only a matter of time before the chaos subsides."
Qinhou, I think this Xiping Pavilion is a good place to build a city!"
Ren Hong looked around, but saw that the nearby river Huang ring belt, surrounded by ten thousand mountains, the Three Gorges is encircled, there is a magnificent tall red cliff to the left, hundreds of miles to the west is Qinghai Lake, strangle Qiangrong, and stand tall for the sake of the front.This location should be the provincial capital of Qinghai in the future.The location was set, the craftsmen wanted to live together, and the two princes only needed to watch from the sidelines, think of a name for them, and Ren Hong pretended to ask the emperor for the gilded gold reward.Jin Xian remembered that before he came, the Son of Heaven said that it was indeed very auspicious to take "Yuan Ting" as the year name, and it had the effect of eliminating the epidemic, and his condition had improved a lot, so he proposed: "This year is the first year of Yuan Ting, why don't you add a thunder word to its name?"
”"Thunder?"
Ren Hong looked at the magnificent Red Cliff Thunder Cliff on the left?
But he listened to the golden reward: "If there is no accident, this should be the first new county in the city this year, it is called Xiting, I only hope that the general can sweep away Zhuqiang with the power of thunder!"
”"It's just like the words of the marquis."
Ren Hongzhen regretted that he asked more, this name is not as good as the original Xiping, he only secretly apologized, and said sorry to Xining, who will stand here in the future, she can only wait a little longer.But I felt that "Xiting" was weird, and it took me half a sound to come back to my senses: "Return Xiting, why don't you call Xidian!"
