Chapter Ninety-Five: Fighting for Merit at the Banquet
As for this third, it is the most profound move, there are many tribes within the Turks, large and small tribes are only nominally respected by the Khan's headquarters Ashina as the leader, the grassland is open to the wind, there is no fixed place, life is hard, if the Khan's own living standard and quality are much higher than the leaders of other tribes, after a long time, it will definitely be centrifuged up and down, causing civil strife, using Chen Shubao's things to corrupt and lure the Turkic upper class, is a high trick to kill people without blood.
Wang Huaqiang sighed secretly in his heart, this trick must have been thought up by Changsun Sheng, killing people without seeing blood, when the Qin State in the Spring and Autumn Period divided and disintegrated the Rongdi Barbarian Department in the west, it was also used to send treasures and beauties to the trick, so that the powerful barbarian tribe was centrifuged, and the old chief was obsessed with treasures and beauties all day long, and he had no intention of governing the tribe at all, but when the Qin army fought over a few years, he found that no one was willing to work for him anymore.
Compared with the Qin people thousands of years ago, Yang Jian's trick will only be more secretive, after all, the Turks are also the overlords of the entire northern grasslands, and they know a little bit about these historical stories, and they sent this thing directly to Dulan Khan, which is too obvious, and a khan may not look at this golden screen more, but if it is given to the woman of Princess Dayi, it is almost impossible to be refused, and it seems a lot more natural.
Wang Huaqiang was thinking about it, and suddenly he only heard He Ruobi's loud voice sound: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say today." ”
Yang Jian was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that on such an occasion today, He Ruobi would act like this, just now he and Han Baohu were actually just acting, the purpose was just to intimidate the Turkic envoys, but he didn't expect He Ruobi to be really angry, he smiled and said: "He Aiqing, you drank too much, if you have anything to say, we will talk about it tomorrow." ”
He Ruobi's face was flushed, the nasolabial folds between his nose kept beating, and he stood up suddenly, the nail leaves on his body rattled, and he said in a deep voice: "No, Your Majesty, the ministers and foreign envoys are here today, and if some things are not clarified, they will never be changed in the history books in the future." ”
Yang Jian was unhappy in his heart, but it was not good to attack in public in front of An Sui's family, so he pretended to be surprised and said "Oh", "He Aiqing, what needs to be clarified?" Today is a banquet, if you have anything to say, I think it is better to say it above tomorrow's court meeting. ”
He Ruobi waved his hand excitedly and said: "No, Your Majesty, today is a celebration banquet, if you Chrysostom sets the tone at this banquet today, it will be in the history books, and it will be impossible to change it in the future, so Weichen is brave and must say what Weichen has in his heart." ”
Yang Jian's face sank, and he said coldly: "Since He Aiqing wants to say it, then say it." ”
He Ruobi bowed, looked directly at Han Baohu opposite, and said: "Just now, His Majesty said that General Han only led 500 elite soldiers, and defeated more than 100,000 Chen Dynasty troops and captured the Emperor of Chen.
At that time, more than 100,000 Chen troops gathered inside and outside Jiankang City, and its elite soldiers were all out of the northeast of the city, in Jiangshan and Weichen's department of the battle, to His Majesty's Hongfu, the soldiers with their lives, I finally defeated the main force of the Chen army after a hard battle, and General Han also took advantage of this time, with 500 people, stole into Jiankang, captured Chen Shubao, Weichen thought, ruined the Chen country's work, Weichen should be the first. ”
Han Baohu couldn't help it, slammed the wine glass on the table, also stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, General He only said one thing, not the other, at that time, Weichen and General He made an appointment to go together, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin also specially ordered the two of us not to fight without authorization, and we must work together, but General He did not listen to the military order, and deliberately brought a small number of troops to appear in Jiangshan, luring Nan Chen's main force out of the city for a decisive battle, and wanted to monopolize the great achievement of destroying Chen.
In this battle, General He was too big, the beginning of the troops with too little, the main force was dragged behind, the guide zhì soldiers were killed and wounded, although the luck of the victory, but also did not completely annihilate the Chen army, when Weichen entered the city, Chen Jun Jiankang's combatable soldiers were still not less than 100,000.
But the minister was afraid that after the Chen army was defeated and retreated to the city, the city would be defended, and the war would be protracted, so he personally took the danger, led the troops to take Jiankang, took Chen Shubao, and asked him to write an edict ordering the Chen army to stop resisting and submit to my Great Sui.
Your Majesty Xià Shengming, the process of this battle, Wei Chen has already reported, His Royal Highness the King of Jin and Gao Fu Shot also have a public opinion, otherwise General He would not have been sent to the Beijing Division, this eliminated Nan Chen, the first merit of breaking the country and capturing the king, Wei Chen lived in it, and he had a clear conscience. ”
When Han Baohu spoke, he kept glaring at He Ruobi fiercely, and the four eyes of the two of them seemed to be about to burst into flames, and they stared directly without flinching, and even the An Sui family was dumbfounded.
Yang Jian was angry in his heart, and hated these two guys for not knowing the depths, fighting for merit in front of this Turkic envoy, letting outsiders see jokes in vain, and the good show he co-starred with Han Baohu in front of him seemed to be in vain. But he suddenly had an idea, and laughed: "What the two generals said, I already knew that the merit of breaking Chen, the two of them each did their best, each was good at winning, and it was the first merit." Dugu Gong, this time to destroy Chen, you also planned in many ways and strategized, what can you say? ”
Yang Jian's eyes fell on Gao Xi, Gao Xi stood up unhurriedly, stretched his waist to the waist, and said in a straight and round manner: "Your Majesty, General He first offered the strategy of Pingnan before destroying Chen, and General Han has also been guarding Luzhou, and has developed heavyweights with a heart for our dynasty within the Chen Dynasty early.
After crossing the river, the two generals also made their own contributions, General He broke the enemy's main force, and General Han smashed Huanglong.
As for me, Gao Xi, I just did some things according to the emperor's will, how can I compare with two generals if I am a scribe? ”
Wang Shichong secretly praised in his heart, Gao Xi is really the prime minister's bearing, insights and ability superhuman, and digested this embarrassing atmosphere in a few words, and at the same time warned the second general He Han that the primary credit for destroying Chen lies in Yang Jian's wise command, as a general on the front line, it is impossible to be the first hero in the entire war.
Sure enough, He Ruobi and Han Baohu gave Gao Xi this statement, and the wine also woke up for seven or eight points, they are all extremely smart people, but they drank too much today, and they have been unconvinced by each other in the past few months, so they will openly vindictate at today's celebration banquet, and when they heard Gao Xi's words, they understood almost at the same time, and returned to their seats with a flushed face.
Yang Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was for the Turks to see that the generals within the Great Sui were out of harmony, the civil and military were separated, and the heart of aggression was born, and now that Nanchen had just been destroyed, whether it was to pacify and pacify the south, or to make up for the huge manpower and material resources consumption of this southern expedition, it would take a period of time to recuperate, and at this time it was absolutely impossible to start a full-scale war with the Turks. From this point of view, Gao Xi's move today can be described as turning the tide.
An Suijia laughed, stood up, held the wine lord high, and said to Yang Jian: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, you have such a mighty and capable general under your command, and such a broad-minded minister, the strength of the Great Sui really impresses the envoy, and after I go back, I will definitely tell our Khan, Kedun, and all the Turks about what I saw and heard today." ”
Yang Jian nodded with satisfaction, and also raised the wine lord in front of him: "Everyone is not drunk today!" For the sake of General He and General Han, please drink this cup to the fullest. ”
The whole hall was once again filled with a joyful atmosphere, the guests and hosts were staggered, talking and laughing, the kind of intrigue and intrigue, and the diplomatic means of surrendering without a fight were no longer seen, Wang Huaqiang sighed in his heart: I can finally drink with peace of mind.
He thought of the business plan to go to the Turks again, and thought to himself, Han Baohu gave a reward of 8,000 pieces of silk silk this time, and Gao Xi also got 9,000 pieces, if he got Gao Xi's permission, he would take these nearly 20,000 pieces of silk silk to the Turks to trade, and exchange them for thousands of good war horses, which would be regarded as a good thing for the country and the family.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of Wang Huaqiang's mouth, and he raised his head, but he happened to meet Wang Shiji's cold eyes looking at him in the distance, and his heart sank suddenly.
