Because Hetao is south of the Yellow River, it is also called Henan. After several attacks by the Han court and several victories by Wei Qing, in fact the Huns no longer have the greatest advantage in this land, especially Baiyang, which is closest to the Great Wall. Wang and Loufan Wang, after several blows from Wei Qing, are no longer as powerful as before.
The first goal of Wei Qing's direct attack on Longcheng, the Holy Land of the Xiongnu, was to defeat the main force of the Xiongnu Royal Court, thereby triggering a power struggle within the Xiongnu. The secondary goal was to cut off the connection between the Xiongnu Chanyuting and Henan, and defeat the Aries King and The King of Loufan completely eliminated the Xiongnu threat to the Great Wall and at the same time obtained a good land for raising horses.
"As long as we can establish a foothold in Henan, we can use this as a foundation. After five years of gathering, we can train a large number of war horses, and then go north to attack the Xiongnu, and even cross the Yinshan Mountains, cross the North Sea, and cross the endless desert. Gobi, attack the Huns, and completely drive the Huns out of Monan."
This is what Liu Che said when discussing the great cause of the Huns with Wei Qing. This is his outlook and plan for the Han-Hungarian war, and Wei Qing is the executor of this plan.
After the Han army left the fortress, Wei Qing led the main army to march day and night to give the Huns a big surprise. After several battles, Wei Qing knew that the Xiongnu Shan was an outstanding commander, and he had been studying tirelessly over the years. Where the Han Dynasty had an advantage, it was difficult to rely solely on sneak attacks, and frontal war was a war of attrition. Wei Qing learned how to dispatch large corps in battles in order to reduce consumption in frontal wars.
The army camp.
Wei Qing began to assign tasks. First, the generals took orders. After all, an army of hundreds of thousands could not always be crowded together. Han Xin, the Marquis of Wu Mu of Huaiyin, clearly stated in the book of war that it was a taboo for the army to be unorganized. Wei Qing ordered the generals to He and the captain led the troops respectively and obeyed the general's orders.
Then he looked at the prostitute Yao Colonel Huo Qubing and Yingyang Colonel Luo Wuji, and said in a deep voice: "You two are bringing the elite of our army, and they are most suitable to serve as scouts. Let's go and investigate the movements of the Huns. , remember not to leave too far away from the army. Once there is a change, the army will withdraw, and you will be lost on the grassland."
Wei Qing originally wanted to say that the Han army was the elite, but when he thought that the three hundred most elite people Luo Wuji brought were Luo's private army, he changed it to the elite of our army.
He didn't have any rigid combat goals for these two people. He could control Luo Wuji, but it was not necessary. Moreover, the emperor also hinted to him that he could just let Luo Wuji do what he wanted freely. Huo Qubing was his nephew, and Wei Qing also allowed him to do so. Free expression, this is where you can go wherever you have merit, as long as you are around the army, this is considered an uncle's love for his nephew.
Wei Qing is such a person. Those who are close to him will support him if they can. Huaiyin Hou Han Liang often brags when he and others get together for drinks, especially when he gets together for drinks with Jiang Hou, his first sentence is often "You know how?" Did so and so follow that boy Wei Qing to get a marquis? This time when I come back, I will definitely pay homage to the general."
I hate Jianghou so much that if my father Zhou Yafu hadn't died of illness shortly after the recommendation, how could he have given such a huge advantage to Huaiyinhou Mansion.
At this point, we have to say that Luo Shi had two of the biggest impacts on the Han Dynasty. The first was that the dispute between ancient and modern literature was completely eliminated. This conflict between Confucian classics that lasted for four hundred years between the two Han Dynasties, and even countless political conflicts. The events all originated from this, as well as the origins of countless systems and policies, all stemming from the dispute between ancient and modern literature. This will not be mentioned for the time being.
Another major event is the change in military merit. Since the early Han Dynasty did not experience the Zhulu Rebellion and no foreign vassals took over, and the Luo family formulated a series of feudal systems, it should have started from Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty in real history. The founders of the country who lost their country are still as stable as a rock until now.
Historically, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cultivated the Weihuo military meritorious group through continuous wars against the Huns, he used some excuses to cancel the titles of hundreds of marquises, which greatly enhanced the power of the central government. But to be honest, this method was too naked. , is an unreasonable zero-sum game.
This method gave the princes and powerful people a feeling that once the royal family became strong, they would lose everything, even if they wanted to become rich.
The emergence of this kind of thinking is very scary. There is nothing you can do when the royal family is strong, but once the royal family is a little weak, they will be attacked by a group of people. Since the royal family can do the first grade, why can't we do the fifteenth grade? Take a step back, that's impossible, either you die or I die.
To be honest, no dynasty is worthy of using this method, because the rise of local power is inevitable and the central government will eventually be unable to suppress it.
Unless the Luo family ascends to the throne and becomes the emperor, relying on the generations of wise emperors in the family, the Luo family's sons who will not betray, and the clan's suppression of the place, they can suppress these powerful people forever, only then can this method be used.
However, these have also changed in this world. The feudal system does not require the royal family to be the villain. The princes have KPI indicators. As long as the indicators can be completed, it means that they are still useful to the royal family. The princes have become a brick, and they can be moved wherever they are needed. There will be rewards for completing tasks, and if you make mistakes if you fail to complete them, your fiefdom will be reduced.
If others can do what you can't do, then give your fiefdom to those who are capable.
This created a strange scene. Some large counties were split into two small counties because there were two princely states in them.
There are also two lieutenants in a county, one is called the former marquis of so-and-so, and the other is called the queen marquis of so-and-so. They come in the order of first and last title, which is full of a legal but sick feeling.
But the royal family doesn't care. This method can also supervise each other, report to each other if there is any abnormality, and highlight the balance of power in a place.
The army is naturally an important place for princes to participate in government affairs. The results of the war are there. Those who win will be granted a title, and those who fail will be divided according to their responsibilities. If you lose little in a small defeat, then you will cut off the realm. This is a soft knife to cut the flesh. If you lose more, you will lose a lot. This time, the fiefdom was gone.
But if you win, you will be granted a title. The royal family is not stingy with the fiefdom, but there are too many households in the fiefdom. Remember to report it to the court and give it to your son. This is called dignity. If you don't understand this dignity, then don't blame the royal family for being ruthless.
Each one of them is not a random attack on you, but is well-founded.
And as long as it is not a major crime intended to subvert the country, such as rebellion or conspiracy, you will definitely be given many opportunities to lose your country. If you think about it carefully, the royal family is really interesting.
Even if it is rebellion or rebellion, except for some of the masterminds, most of the people involved will be exiled. If you perform well and perform meritorious services, the royal family can restore you to the country in accordance with the principle of survival.
This is the restoration of the country!
If he is not loyal to death, the people of the world can spit him to death. In short, the main thing is to be reasonable.
This kind of reasoning was implemented very thoroughly during the Liu Heng period. Although Liu Che abolished some of them, as a talented and strategic emperor, he could still see the benefits of these systems, especially Zhou Yafu's performance, which made him less psychologically repulsive. Many of them have been used, but they are generally not abolished, but continue to be used.
Under this system, the princes had a more urgent need for military exploits than the emperor. In order to avoid war, Liu Heng had to appease the princes and ensure that when he was in power, their welfare benefits would be guaranteed even if he had no military exploits.
In such a realistic situation, a talented commander like Wei Qing who can steadily win military honors is naturally a hot commodity. Many princes have chewed their back molars in anger and secretly collected dirty information, just waiting for Wei Qing and the Huaiyin Houfu. After falling down, he stabbed him in the back.
But it's a pity that Wei Qing is very stable in controlling the army. He has the style of Han Xin in commanding the army. Even if he doesn't win a big victory, he will not be defeated. He is really low-key and extremely respectful. Although he is the emperor's brother-in-law, he has never been defeated. They are not arrogant and domineering, they are diligent and have excellent reputation, and there is no chance to make a move.
Wei Qing's personality is very comfortable with people who are not very capable. He is also very comfortable with people with outstanding personal abilities like Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing. He makes the best use of his people. He is simply born to be a commander.
Huo Qubing smiled loudly, clasped his fists and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will never leave the army too far. I will definitely detect the traces of the Huns. My nephew is leaving now."
After saying that, he flicked his cloak and walked out of the camp. Luo Wuji also clasped his fists and said: "General, Wuji has left. I will come back to you after I get my harvest."
Wei Qing is a relatively traditional person and respects the Luo family very much, especially since he is half a member of the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion. He is naturally close to the Luo family. He cupped his fists and returned the salute: "Young master, you can do whatever you want. I have Qing in front to withstand the Xiongnu army." , I wish you good luck in martial arts!"
"Thank you very much, General!"
Luo Wuji bowed to Wei Qing. He respected this general who had repeatedly made military exploits against the Huns. After standing up, Luo Wuji also left the camp directly.
As soon as he walked out of the camp, he saw Huo Qubing riding on a tall horse. He didn't go far and seemed to be waiting for him. "Brother Wuji, I guess you won't simply go to detect the traces of the Huns. Are you willing to immediately?" I make a gentleman's bet. This battle will be based on merit. The loser will be given a can of fine wine. If you lose, I will give you Luo's fine wine. If you lose, I will get you the royal wine from the palace."
Just now in the camp, Huo Qubing said that he would never go far. Luo Wuji knew that it was impossible, because Huo Qubing was the same type of person as him and would never do things according to the rules. When he heard about this bet and said it was a bet, he still It would be better to say that Huo Qubing wanted to make friends with him, so he immediately laughed loudly and said: "Colonel Yao is a warrior who can punch through rocks. There is no reason in this world for a warrior to refuse to accept an invitation. I accepted this bet. I am in Dong'a The Marquis Mansion is waiting for the wine from the prostitute Colonel Yao."
"Hahaha."
Huo Qubing raised his whip and rode away, leaving only a big laugh: "Luo's wine must be very sweet."
Luo Wuji smiled and shook his head. The spirit soldiers led the horse over. Luo Wuji got on his horse, looked at the continuous grassland, and said loudly: "Yingyang Xiaowei, follow me to attack!"
There will be more in the evening. I will add more updates. Please vote for me.
