Qin Official
Chapter 820 Letter
The closer he got to Xiangyang, the more anxious Han Xin became.
He always felt that the reason why Marquis Wu Zhong valued him so much and was promoted repeatedly, even by a head above his old subordinates, was because he had never let him down.
But now, Han Xin fought the most damaging battle since the formation of the Northern Expeditionary Army!
Nearly ten thousand people, most of them old soldiers, died in this way or were captured by the enemy.
Dongmen Bao's words are still fresh in my ears. The family members of those soldiers and the elders of Jianghan South County will probably hate me. And will Wu Zhonghou regard himself as a mediocre general and no longer reuse him?
But Han Xin didn't expect that what he faced was not scolding and rolling eyes, but cheers and wine!
When I met brother troops on the road, everyone gave them a thumbs up.
"The prince has already publicized General Han Pi's achievements in the city. He said that you passed through the enemy's rear and penetrated the enemy's inner circle. You made the chickens and dogs in the rear uneasy and shared the pressure for Jiang Han. You were also chased and intercepted by four times the enemy, and you forcibly crossed Danshui and successfully broke through. .”
Han Xin was a little stunned. From what he heard, Wu Zhonghou didn't blame him?
What surprised Han Xin even more was that when Hei Fu heard about his return, he went to Xiangyang City Gate to greet Han Xin in person!
Han Xin was not arrogant towards Hei Fu. He immediately rolled off his saddle and prostrated himself to the ground: "How dare you let the defeated generals greet you?"
Heifu smiled and said: "How can I not welcome the great hero who solved the siege of Jianghan when he returns?"
But his eyes looked back again: "Li Cang, he..."
Han Xin felt the most guilty for Li Cang, followed by the soldiers who died in the battle. He bowed his head and said: "Li Cang was seriously injured and cannot travel far. He stayed in Wudang Mountain south of Yunguan to recuperate."
"I will ask Chen Wujiu to go over and treat him."
Heifu nodded and looked at the expeditionary forces behind Han Xin. Compared with when they left, only one-third had returned, which made people sigh:
"It's a pity that one general's success can lead to thousands of bones being withered..."
Han Xin was very ashamed when he heard this, lowered his head and said: "I have lost my master and humiliated my army. Please punish me!"
"Do you think you are fighting a losing battle?"
Heifu shook his head. It was really unfair to use two simple words to describe Han Xin's battle.
Although Han Xin suffered heavy losses, the outcome of a battle must be viewed from an overall perspective.
He lost nearly ten thousand old soldiers, and his favorite young man from the old army, Li Cang, was seriously injured and disabled. Heifu felt so painful that he wanted to squat down.
But as the commander-in-chief, looking at the overall situation, Han Xin made a great contribution.
For example, Han Xin cut into the enemy's rear, pulled out three inner towers, killed several people alone, and cleared the opposite jungle area. In the end, he was chased by a group of five people and lost his head.
Is this considered a defeat?
Thinking more darkly, since being recommended by Xiao He and Qu Ji, Han Xin has won many battles. It is really smooth. A young man in his early twenties has the ability. His eyes have already floated to the sky. Heifu has long listened. The old men secretly said in private that Han Xin had really offended a lot of people. First, he was scorned by Man, and now he has enmity with Dongmen Leopard.
Therefore, letting Han Xin suffer setbacks is more beneficial to him and the entire team.
But for Han Xin, Heifu still had to continue to win over him, with small beatings and heavy rewards. After all, except for Zhao Tuo, the only one of his men who could command a large army of more than 50,000 people in combat was Han Xin.
If Han Xin was wronged too much and felt dissatisfied, and ran away, Hei Fu would be in trouble. After all, if Xiao He was not around, would Hei Fu have to chase him himself?
"Do not say that."
So Heifu had something to worry about, clapped Han Xin's hand and said sincerely:
"Han Xin, if I lose you, this battle will be won but lost."
"But as long as you are fine and can learn from the mistakes in the future, you will win even if you lose!"
…
"Everyone who returns will be given two levels of nobility!"
"Level 3 battle dead!"
He asked Han Xin to go down to bathe and rest, but Heifu was not idle. He asked the military judge to give Han Xin military merits and rewards. He wanted to reward this expeditionary force that went deep behind enemy lines and forced Wang Ben to give up the attack on Jianghan. treatment!
"As for Han Xin... he is still made by the Great Master, but he will not give other rewards."
Hei Fu can't care about one thing and lose the other, he also needs to be appeased on the other side.
"Didn't the Dongmen Leopards capture Yunguan? Wang Ben's army has given up on the south of the Han River. Shangyong (Zhushan County, Hubei Province) is stable and has been promoted to Dashangzao."
"In addition, Li Cang was supposed to be the right guard, but now he has been promoted to the rank of Shaoshangzao, and he is now the fake guard of Hanzhong!"
"Junhou!"
Xiao He was recruiting talents in Jiangling, and Bao Sheng, a scribe recommended to Heifu, couldn't help but remind him:
"The profit margin is only twenty-two, how can we just keep it?"
Heifu looked at Bao Sheng: "You have been a small official in Zhijiang County, right? Knowing the laws and regulations, how can you be a county magistrate?"
Bao Sheng responded: "The strong one."
"How old do you need to be?"
"twenty one……"
Heifu spread his hands and said: "The profit position has been strong, and the achievements and titles are second only to Han Xin among the younger generation. This time, together with Han Xin, we have fought thousands of miles, wiped out countless enemies, and lost a pair of feet. Why can't we be the county guard?" "
Bao Sheng had nothing to say.
Heifu knows Likura's character well. If he treats him as a useless person and leaves him idle at the back, Likang will probably become depressed. When he recovers from his injury, he will be given a position and let all kinds of affairs bother him. On the contrary, It can stop people from thinking wildly.
"By the way, the title of Lixian is also created by the Young Master, and he also serves as the governor of Yuzhang and Zhangjun (Wannan and Nanjing)!"
After finishing these tasks, Heifu took another sketch and asked Bao Sheng to give it to the military craftsmen.
But in the picture, there were two large wooden front wheels and a single small wheel at the back, with a chair with armrests in the middle, which looked like a wheelchair in later generations.
"Let the craftsmen make it according to the instructions, and then send it to Licang together with Ren Zhuang and Yin Shou, and tell him for me..."
Thinking that Li Cang became disabled at a young age and almost treated him as a nephew, Kurofu felt sad again:
"Tell Li Cang that from now on, even if you can't bring peace to the world for me right away! Then just sit down and rule the place for me!"
"Let him rest well. When the spring comes and the injury is better, he will return to Jianghan. I will personally marry him to Dongmen Bao's eldest daughter!"
…
After appeasing Dongmen Bao and Li Cang, Hei Fu continued to train Han Xin.
Han Xin hurried to the command post, only to see Wu Zhonghou, who had never been good at handwriting, actually writing big characters on the desk in a decent manner today. Seeing Han Xin coming, he smiled and said:
"You haven't received the reward, do you have any complaints?"
Where does Han Xin dare to be? He bowed and said: "The king has not abandoned Han Xin, but still promoted him to the rank of great master. How can he dare to have any resentment against Han Xin?"
Heifu said: "The south is also in trouble. After this battle, there are too many rewards. Xiao He's side can hardly make ends meet, so I won't give you any money or silk. I'll just give you a message."
With that said, he picked up the calligraphy and handed it to Han Xin.
Han Xin took a look and saw it said...
"The victorious and defeated soldiers have unexpected family affairs. It's a man to be ashamed and bear shame!"
The words seemed to have reached his heart. Han Xin read it three times and recited it softly twice. He was greatly moved and raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, to get this word is worth a thousand catties of gold!"
"Sit down." Heifu asked someone to put the words away for Han Xin and sit opposite him.
"I asked you to come here today, not to discuss military affairs, but to tell you about a person and an old friend's past."
Hei Fu pointed at Han Xin and said, "He has the same name as you, both are called 'Xin'! Li Xin!"
"It's Marquis Dingyuan!"
Han Xin sat upright. He originally had his eyes high and despised the generals in the world, thinking that I was the best in the world. However, after being taught a lesson by Wang Ben at the edge of the Dan River, his arrogance became much less.
At least Heifu, Wang Ben, and Li Xin can no longer be looked down upon.
What's more, the deeds of Dingyuan Marquis Li Xin are truly a legend...
Hei Fu nodded: "I met Li Xin when he attacked Chuzhong for the first time. Li Xin was appreciated by the First Emperor. Not only did he despise Wang Jian, thinking he was old, but he also despised Xiang Yan. As the commander-in-chief, Li Xin led an army of two hundred thousand, but He underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, so he was defeated by Xiang Yan and lost seven captains!"
"That was an unprecedented defeat after the First Emperor succeeded to the throne. After that battle, Li Xin was demoted to the end by the First Emperor and moved to the border garrison. Li Xin was so arrogant that he suffered such a setback that his head turned white overnight..."
…
Thousands of miles away from Xiangyang, to the west of Shule State (Kashgar, Xinjiang), a city-state in the Western Regions, there is a place named Xingdun Valley. There is a trail here that passes through the foot of Congling Ridge and leads to the mysterious Dawan and Daxia in the west...
A group of Qin soldiers who had experienced desert weather were standing at the mouth of the valley with swords and spears in hand, waiting for orders. They looked at their general and the Xianyang envoy who suddenly arrived.
The mountains in Congling are towering, and the tops of the peaks are covered with snow. The general riding a horse and standing at the foot of the mountain has a layer of silvery frost and snow on his head...
"Why did the messenger come from afar?"
Li Xin's words were as cold as a glacier.
The Xianyang envoy was wearing embroidered clothes and holding a banner. He walked for half a year before catching up with Li Xin.
The messenger spoke breathlessly, as if he had difficulty adapting to the high altitude here, or was dazed by the snow-capped mountains, but he still tried to raise his voice and explained his purpose to Li Xin.
"The whole world has lost its first emperor, and everyone is suddenly sad. However, the six kingdoms have rebelled in their hometown, and bandits are moving westward more and more, trying to disrupt the country. The second emperor succeeded to the throne according to the imperial edict, and there is a system: order Ding Yuanhou to speed up the soldiers of the three armies to return to Guanzhong!"
"What!"
Hearing this, everyone from Jun Zhengxi, who was wearing a lamb's fur coat, to the commanders and commanders, to the soldiers who were close to him, were all extremely shocked.
They were trapped in the snow at the foot of Beishan (Tianshan Mountain), but they still talked and laughed happily.
They had fought bloody battles with the barbarians in the Western Regions in Qiuci, one against five, so they had some time to spare.
They once got lost in the desert, but in the end, under the leadership of Li Xin, they survived the exposure and hunger and thirst, found the water source of the oasis, and tasted the sweetness of the fruits and women of the Western Regions.
But now, after going through all kinds of hardships, they finally arrived at the foot of Congling. As long as they crossed the hills, they could reach the Kingdom of Daxia. However, they were shocked to hear the news that the First Emperor had died and that they could "go home". Everyone's military morale was suddenly aroused!
There was a lot of noise, and the red horse Li Xin sat on seemed a little restless, snoring and constantly raising and lowering its front legs.
Li Xin stroked it gently, seeming to be healing his shocked heart.
"Don't panic, don't panic."
The army is alone in a foreign land. He is the backbone of this group of people and must not be messed up.
Even if my heart is really messed up, even if I want to scream in anger and cry toward the east!
You have to hold back!
"The First Emperor died?"
After a while, Li Xin raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said decisively:
"No way!"
…
ps: Chapter 2 is at night.
In addition, there is a powerful Amway game, "Invisible Guardian", an interactive movie with a great plot.
