[Red Mansion] Let's listen to a general's order

"Proceed with the order! Let the priest of Sadaman throw the dead cattle and sheep and...the corpses of the soldiers into the water source that can be seen along the way!" The charming peach blossom eyes are full of cruelty.

Since ancient times, both the Huns and other tribes on the grassland have had their own priests.Priests are not only responsible for serving and worshiping the Longevity, they even know how to perform exorcism, divination, begging for blessings and other things.Of course, what they are best at is the method of harming others.

At that time, the famous grassland was so famous that the wolves lived in Xu, and all the Huns sang "If I lose Qilian Mountain, my six animals will not live; if I lose Yanzhi Mountain, my married woman will have no color". Under the circumstances, they all fell under this trick.

In order to make his strategy more effective and achieve greater results, Po Liuhan Baling ordered [-] Xiongnu soldiers and [-] Xianbei soldiers to stay and delay the Zhou people's offensive.

In this situation where the winner has clearly been decided, the commander-in-chief of Xianbei, General Qiu Ben, refused to let his soldiers suffer unnecessary casualties, not to mention that Xianbei king Tuoba Yihuai had repeatedly told him before the expedition that he must preserve his strength. Naturally, he didn't want his soldiers to become cannon fodder, but...

Looking at the Spike Army soldiers who had surrounded him in all directions since he didn't know when, with a murderous look on his face, and if he dared to say no, he didn't care about killing or burying the soldiers of the Spike Army, Yu Qiuben became timid.

The refusal to speak, which had not yet been spoken, turned a corner naturally, and Yu Qiuben "happyly" accepted the "proposal" to break Liuhan Baling, and urged his generals to fight the enemy bravely and not to retreat.

He comforted himself in his heart that the 15 Xianbei soldiers had only spent [-] in the past few days, and now that [-] were discarded, it was only [-], and there were still [-] soldiers left. He would definitely be able to do business in front of the king.

Po Liuhan Baling withdrew his gaze in satisfaction.

Another order was issued: "Order the whole army to throw away some unnecessary baggage, and speed up to the direction of Qilian Mountain!"

Unlike the fool Min Hecha, he really thought that Hu Hanxie was bent on leading the Great Huns to dominate the world, turning the Central Plains into a large ranch for the Great Huns to herd sheep and horses.

Although what happened to Hu Hanxie when he was a child was ordered to be kept secret, as long as the person who experienced what happened back then is still there, there will be no eternal secret.

Po Liuhan Baling asked himself, if he suffered this kind of grievance (competing with dogs for food), would he ignore the previous suspicions and help the "enemy" have enough food and clothing, and the family is safe! ?

In less than a second, Po Liuhan Baling had already categorically denied it.

Greedy Wolf Star is the first star of the Big Dipper, belonging to Mizuki, which is in charge of misfortune, fortune, and desire.

Those who are greedy for wolves can speak well, act willfully, without restraint, have an unpredictable personality, and reveal a trace of evil.In dealing with people, he is slick and tactful.However, there is a clear distinction between love and evil, love desires its life, and evil desires its death.The road to love is bumpy. Although the peach blossoms are good, they are always detours.

If God wants him to die, he will make him mad.

When Hu Hanxie still didn't know what he was thinking, Po Liuhan Baling only observed his words and deeds from the sidelines. Combined with his own deduction, he easily came to the shocking conclusion that Huhanxie wanted to destroy the Xiongnu.

As for blocking?Don't joke!According to the cold-bloodedness of Liuhan Baling, he did not interfere, but added fuel to the fire, making the whole thing more "interesting". The Huns should build him a longevity tablet and worship it day and night!

"Boss! Throwing the dead body into the water source can certainly make the Zhou people fall for it, but we will have a hard time in the future!" A Spike Army cavalry worried.

Next to him, a tall Spike cavalryman slapped him on the back of the head without any reason.

"Idiot! The old man has his own plans!"

"Yes! Wisdom tooth teacher, you worry about this and that all day long! When will the boss do something unsure!"

The cavalry of the Spike Army has always been full of confidence in their master.

The wisdom tooth teacher thought about it, and it was for this reason that his boss never fought uncertain battles or said uncertain words.

He bowed his head in embarrassment and admitted his mistake: "Boss, don't be angry, I was wrong. I just worry about it and think about it!"

Po Liuhan Baling said generously: "It's okay."

He said with deep meaning: "We will never have to succumb to this small place again!"

The Spike Army cavalry looked at each other, what is the boss talking about?

Po Liuhan Baling didn't explain, he just clamped the horse's belly forcefully, speeding up and rushing forward.

"Drive!" Seeing this, the cavalry of the Spike Army held the rope with one hand and swung their whips vigorously with the other, and followed Po Liuhan Baling.

"Hoohoo!" No matter how miraculous Ren Biludan was, it was impossible for Li Lian to recover completely so quickly.

Feng Zizhi disapproved of him personally leading troops out of the city and cooperating with Niu Jizong and others to attack the camp of the Huns coalition army.

It's just that no matter how much the Xiongnu allied forces lost, there were still about 40 soldiers left. If one was not careful, the Zhou army could easily capsize in the gutter.

The influence of the name Li Lian in the Zhou army, and even in the Xiongnu coalition army is unmatched.

In the hearts of the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the name Li Lian was equivalent to victory.As long as Li Lian is around, they will be invincible and invincible.Even if the situation is unfavorable and they resist until the last soldier dies, as long as Li Lian is still around, they will resist to the death and never give up!No matter what the environment, they are willing to follow Li Lian, the god of war in their minds.

On the contrary, in the eyes of the Hun coalition forces, Li Lian was an out-and-out devil.When he was not as weak as the crown, he was already ruthless and ruthless. He brutally killed tens of thousands of Huns and Dong Muhe, the king of Yourizhu.Not long ago, he even defeated Hu Hanxieda, the most wise and wise Huhan Xie Da Shanyu in the past 500 years of the Huns, and used "magic" to burn hundreds of thousands of their compatriots to death!Under the apotheosis of many coalition soldiers who fled back to the camp in Guiyan Valley, and all kinds of rumors, the existence of Li Lian made the coalition soldiers frightened and terrified.

Therefore, no matter how Feng Zizhi tried to stop him, Li Lian was determined to go into battle with his injuries and pursue the Hun coalition forces.

"Longevity God! Why don't you protect the great Xiongnu? Why don't you protect your most beloved sons and daughters, instead protect that Zhou people's devil!" As cannon fodder left behind to die, a Hun cavalryman looked up at the sky and questioned the sky unwillingly. .

Deserting on the battlefield is tantamount to suicide. When Niu Jizong passed by him honestly, he picked up the Xuanhua Eight Diagrams ax in his right hand and chopped off his head.

"Hahaha! These bastards have escaped!" He threw an ax backhand at the soldiers of the Xiongnu coalition army who were about to attack, and laughed loudly.

"Marshal! Don't miss this opportunity! Let's not let those barbarians go away!" Ran Feng also shouted with a grin.

Li Lian looked around, and saw that the more than 30 soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the battlefield were full of fighting spirit. As long as Li Lian gave an order, they would definitely scream and rush forward to kill all the enemies with their weapons.

Morale Available!

Without hesitation, Li Lian immediately ordered Ying Jin and Zhao Feng to deal with the coalition soldiers who were in charge of breaking the rear, and he himself was the arrow, leading the large army to break a bloody path and chase down the fleeing enemy soldiers.

This chase lasted for seven days and seven nights.

Beijing, Deshengmen.

It is an important gateway from the capital to the north. It is known as the "Military Gate". Even when troops are dispatched to fight, they usually leave the city through this gate.

"Great victory in Yanmen! Behead 40 people!"

A hoarse voice came from a distance, revealing endless joy.

At this time, it was noon, and people and cars were passing by on the streets of the capital, grinding their shoulders one after another.

After hearing that hoarse voice, the common people looked at me and I looked at you, all eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.

They all stopped and asked suspiciously, "Did you just talk about the great victory in Yanmen?"

"That's right, it seems that 40 people were beheaded!" Hearing the words, the bystanders hesitated.

They couldn't help but hesitate. They still believed in the Yanmen victory, but they beheaded 40 people... They remembered that only 45 troops were sent to Yanmen in the Great Zhou Dynasty this time!

"Great victory in Yanmen! 40 beheaded! Hu Hanxie captured!"

The hoarse voice came closer, and the people followed the sound, only to see a bright red helmet feather flying towards the city, which was extremely bright in the dust.

Someone excitedly shook his companion's shoulders and said, "It's Hong Ling's urgent envoy!"

Afterwards, without waiting for his companions to react, and regardless of being on the street, he shouted: "Da Zhou is mighty!"

Hongling emergency envoys have existed since the pre-Qin period in ancient times, and they are responsible for conveying emergency military information, and any pedestrians and vehicles on the road must give way to them.Otherwise, even if he was hit to death, Hong Ling's urgent envoy would not need to bear the slightest responsibility, and that person's death would be in vain.

"Great victory in Yanmen? Beheading 40 people? Hu Hanxie captured? Good! Good! Good!" The people around cheered loudly, and countless arms were raised.

After a round of applause, a group of ordinary people just came back to their senses and couldn't help exclaiming: "Behead a hundred thousand!? Captive Hu Hanxie!?"

"Long live the big week!!!"

The soaring shouts sounded at Deshengmen, and they went straight to the ninth heaven with endless joy.

"Quick! Clear the way!" The old soldier who was in charge of guarding the city gate shouted happily, and flew onto the horse together with several colleagues. While leading the way for Hong Ling's urgent envoy, he was also responsible for dispersing the pedestrians and vehicles on the galloping road.

"Great victory in Yanmen! 40 beheaded! Hu Hanxie captured!"

Although Hongling left in a hurry, the news he brought still lingered in the ears of the people.Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, some people embraced and roared, some cheered heartily, and some knelt on the ground and wept with joy.

Many merchants on both sides of the street even beamed and set off firecrackers in front of their shops!Seeing this, other people who didn't have firecrackers in stock all ran to the firecracker shop, boldly bought several taels of silver firecrackers and set them off!

The sound of crackling firecrackers came and went, starting from Deshengmen, and quickly spread to all parts of the capital.

In just a short while, the whole capital was boiling!

There are shouts of "Yanmen Great Victory! Beheading 40 people! Hu Hanxie captured!" "Long live the Great Week!!!" like.

"Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Great victory in Yanmen! 40 beheaded! Hu Hanxie captured! That coach is my younger brother! My own younger brother! My son...my nephew also has a share!!!" Jia Shen, who had a small gathering of antiques in Fengmanlou, was so excited when he heard the good news from outside that he didn't know whose hand he was holding, and shouted repeatedly: "That's my brother and nephew! "

"Understood! This old man is old, not deaf! Let go!" The hand of the old man next to him was shaken so hard by Jia She that his arm was almost broken, he said angrily.

The old man in Tsing Yi laughed and said, "Mr. Qin is too old to withstand your strength. Aren't you going home and telling your family the good news?"

"Yes! I have to go home quickly and tell Madam the good news!" Jia Amnesty agreed very much, and said politely: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Wen, Mr. Fang, Mr. Cen, and father-in-law, then I will take my leave first! Turn around I took a few ounces of Wuyi Dahongpao from Fujian as a tribute from my younger brother, and then I invited a few of you to the mansion to drink tea and exchange experiences..." Before he could finish speaking, the person hurried away.

Seeing that Jia She was in such a hurry that he even left Tang Bohu's original work "The Tiger Roaring in the Forest" on the table and forgot to take it away, Zhang Xu laughed and scolded: "Almost fifty people! You are still so impatient! Listen to the wind. It’s raining!” Later, he should visit his daughter and grandson at the Marquis of Rong’en’s mansion, and send back the “Tiger’s Roaring Forest Map” by the way!

"No! No! Enhou's pure heart is really precious!" Fang Lao shook his head and sighed.

Although Jia Amnesty may seem a bit petty, he is actually a good-natured, unscheming person who treats his own people, especially the elders, with all kinds of care and care. He is simply an extinct good boy.Therefore, this group of old men who retired after playing scheming in the court for most of their lives are very sincerely caring and loving for this "good boy" who is nearly 50 years old.

Elder Wen said gratifiedly, "It's a good thing that Enhou has a deep brotherhood with the champion."

Brothers from ordinary small families will also have discord because of the distribution of land in the family, not to mention that brothers in powerful families regard each other as enemies in order to compete for parents' favor, title, family property, etc., and all kinds of open and secret fights They come out endlessly, and I can't wait to have a fight to the death.

Looking at the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, there may not be two brothers who are as affectionate as Rong Enhou and Champion Hou.

"Their brothers grew up in their aunt's place since they were young, and it's necessary to have a close relationship." Zhang Xu waved his hands, with a modest smile on his face.

Elder Qin glared at this obedient old fellow with both jealousy and envy.

Why doesn't his family have two such powerful cousins!

Zhang Xu is getting old, he became an official more than three years ago, and stepped down from the position of minister of the Ministry of Rites. His son Zhang Changning was officially promoted to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites.Zhang Xu is an old courtier with the merits of being a dragon, and the emperor also valued his son-in-law very much, so he ordered Zhang Changning to be in charge of the Department of Cleaning Up Officials by Guest and the Department of Cleaning Up Officials by Ritual System.

This is terrible!

The Ministry of Rites is not the Qingshui department that has no power at all. It can keep pace with the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Rites naturally has its importance.

There are four divisions under the Ministry of Rites, namely: Ritual System Qingli Division, Temple Sacrifice Qingli Division, Host and Guest Qingli Division, and Refined Meal Qingli Division, and the most powerful one is the Ritual System Qingli Division.

The Rites and Clearance Department is in charge of Jiali, military etiquette, management of academic affairs, and imperial examination affairs.

Imperial examination!

The imperial examination is the foundation of the country's selection of talented people. Only scholars who have successfully broken through thousands of horses in the imperial examination can occupy a seat in the imperial court.The same subject and the first Jinshi who have broken through the provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination will call each other the same year, call the examiner a teacher or a benefactor, and call themselves a student.In this way, a very special teacher-student relationship has been established between the new Jinshi and the examiner, and the new Jinshi often regards his grade as a kind of kindness from the examiner to himself and is grateful.As a result, the imperial examination has become a channel for examiners to form cliques for private interests and to establish and cultivate their own power.

Even though the Minister of Rites, who is in charge of the Ministry of Rites and Cleaning Officials, is in charge of the imperial examinations, he will not be the chief examiner, but he will be an important deputy.As long as two or three general examinations are held, the students under the door will naturally be full of peaches and plums.

The two major factions among the civil servants—Kang Hetai, a scholar of the Palace of Preserving Harmony and Gao Gong, a scholar of the Wuying Hall, both eyed Zhang Changning's position as Minister of Rites, who said that Zhang Changning was not a member of either of them! ?And when the two bosses expressed their affection to him in private, this uninterested guy was just like his old man, smiling on the surface, as if I agreed with everything you said, and after the boss left, he changed back to handling it impartially , The appearance of being loyal to the emperor, the two bosses gritted their teeth with hatred.

Zhang Changning, even with the support of the wily and scheming Lao Tzu behind him, can't stand the open and dark arrows from the two largest factions in civil servants!

Kang Hetai and Gao Gong knew that the emperor had a kind personality and nostalgia for the past, and that Zhang Xu had only retired for a few years, and most of his personal connections were still there. Therefore, all the memorials to Zhang Changning in the letter showed that Zhang Changning was familiar with river canals and weaving, and suggested that the emperor He was transferred to the post of minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Although the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry has a good lucrative position, but the power is not great, compared to the position of minister of the Ministry of Rites, which is a good position to expand personal connections, it pales in comparison.

Kang Hetai and Gao Gong had shown mercy, and even Zhang Xu couldn't say anything.

Just after Zhang Changning reluctantly accepted the fact that he was about to be transferred to the Ministry of Industry, Li Lian made a move!

The leader of Tiance Mansion, who rarely came to the court, just mentioned that he thought Zhang Changning was very competent during his tenure when the ministers said something to you and I said that Zhang Changning was not suitable for the post of Minister of Rites.

Kang Hetai, Gao Gong and the others suddenly changed their expressions.

Only then did they remember that Zhang Changning has a backer!His cousin is the emperor's favorite ─ ─ Li Lian and Li Jingya!

Although Li Lian only said one sentence, and then stood there and closed his eyes to rest his mind, as if he just said something casually, none of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dared to ignore his opinion.Li Lian, who usually does not go to court, suddenly went to court today, obviously to support his cousin.It is said that Li Lian grew up beside his grandmother Zhang, it seems that he has a very good relationship with Zhang's natal family.

As soon as this remark came out, the situation in the court suddenly changed.

Many old courtiers from the Supreme Imperial Party and civil servants from the neutral faction came out one after another. Zhang Changning, the servant of the Ministry of speech and etiquette, was self-respecting, upright, and well-read... In short, they saw with their own eyes what an outstanding and responsible official Zhang Changning was. It can be called the best servant of the Ministry of Rites in history. If he is not promoted to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites, it is a failure of the Ministry of Rites. It is a great scholar who suppresses backward people.

What else can Kang Hetai, Gao Gong and others do?If you want to blame them, you can blame them for forgetting the relationship between the Zhang family and Jia family.

With Li Lian coming forward to protect Zhang Changning, Zhang Xu has completely let go of his hands these past few years. Every day he only drinks tea with his old friends, talks about literature, or exchanges experiences on antiques, or even just leisurely reading books. I don't know how chic it was.

However, old men like Mr. Qin, who are in their seventies and eighties, are envious of their children and grandchildren.

Yangxindian

"Your Majesty, after the decisive battle between the champion Hou Li Lian and Hu Hanxie, he was seriously injured and dragged his sick body to forcibly lead his army to chase and kill the Hun coalition army for seven days and seven nights. On the way, he drank the water infected by the plague. Now he is unconscious and has a high fever. Symptoms such as shock and vomiting, the doctor diagnosed that Champion Hou is suffering from typhoid fever." A figure in the costume of the head of the housekeeper respectfully presented a small note with both hands.

The emperor also has his own people in the north. As soon as they heard the news, they immediately reported the whole battle to the emperor by flying pigeons. Naturally, the efficiency was much faster than that of Hong Ling.

The emperor took a look, his face was cloudy and uncertain.

The emperor didn't speak, and the chief servant didn't dare to speak, but just maintained a half-bow posture and stood where he was.

For a moment, the entire Hall of Mental Cultivation was silent.

a long time.

"An Fuhai, tell me, what should I do?"

An Fuhai's body trembled slightly, and his voice became more and more humble, "Your Majesty, Shengming, has his own plan in mind." He played Tai Chi smoothly.

"Zhen... Shengming?" The emperor murmured as if he didn't understand the meaning of the word.

"Sage is nothing more than the emperor." An Fuhai lowered his head even more.

"Hehe!" The emperor smiled wryly, and laughed at himself: "Aside from you, who else would think that I am a wise and innocent king?"

An Fuhai was shocked, and quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty!"

Before he could plead guilty, the emperor had stopped him.

"Don't panic, I'm just joking, you just pretend you didn't hear anything."

"The servant was distracted for a while, and didn't hear the emperor's order, please forgive me!" An Fuhai said cleverly.

The emperor said with satisfaction: "Well, I forgive you for your innocence."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Looking at the handwriting on the note, the emperor finally ordered: "Go tell Wu Yuan and order him to mix the processed medicinal materials into the decoction of the champion."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
