"Huan Wenguo is really a general and does not lose the value of your majesty."
Liu Yan listened to Ji Chang so much and just smiled. It was not because he valued Huan Wen that he showed his talents. It was Huan Wen himself who was valued by him.
However, it was all secondary. The more important thing was that Huan Wen led 3000 cavalry troops, which really stirred the wind of the war. In particular, a man named Wang Ji was defeated by Huan Wen, resulting in a shock in Pengcheng.
"Huanwen asked for orders to continue to lead the army to guerrilla in Pengcheng county."
"Good phenomenon, isn't it?"
Liu Yan likes the words "Huanwen asks for orders", which means that there has been submission. The surrender of talents is a good thing for Liu Yanlai, especially yuan Qiao is on the way back to the main camp.
"Now it's time for Wang Luan to worry." Sang Yu just finished reading the war report and said with a smile, "what would the Xuzhou army think if Huan Wen defeated four troops in a row with only 3000 cavalry?"
"Huanwen just impressed Wang Luan more deeply. Any local battlefield is our advantage." Ji Chang smiled at sang Yu, then looked at Liu Yan and said, "Huan Wen has achieved amazing results, but the loss is also slightly large. He doesn't agree to give him the right to recruit and demobilize soldiers on the spot. He doesn't have such qualifications."
All four wars were won. Although not all four were outnumbered, two were almost undamaged, and the last two showed the due aggression of cavalry.
After four attacks, it's hard to say how many results Huan Wen achieved, but he reduced his troops from 3000 to 1600.
Huan Wen wrote the war report first and then asked for the admission of troops, which was in line with the political system of the small ~ Dynasty ~ court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but not in the Han Dynasty.
"Let Huan Wen lead the troops back." Liu Yan wants more than submission. He also needs obedience.
It was yuan Qiao who returned to the main camp first, and then Huan Wen appeared on the third day.
During this period, the confrontation between the main forces of the two armies showed signs of ending. Especially when Huan Wen returned with the remaining 1600 Han troops and nearly 2000 troops, Wang Luan finally made a big move.
Fortunately, no matter what the Han Army did, it would prepare a plan. According to the plan, what response should be made, so that Wang Luan sent 10000 cavalry to intercept Huanwen headquarters, and 7000 cavalry rushed out of the barracks to chase it.
"They are all talents!" Liu Yan's voice did not decrease. Of course, his eyes were observing the situation. It was Huanwen's headquarters in the distance and the 10000 Shijie Zhao Jun who had just left the camp. He said, "Uncle Yan is willing to join the army for me?"
In ancient times, there was a special kind of car called nest car. It was a vehicle with a watchtower to climb high to observe the enemy situation.
There are not many people who can get on the nest car with Liu Yan. None of them is an important figure in the Han Dynasty. When Yuan Qiao was invited to get on the nest car, he had enough mental preparation in his heart, but his face was a little stiff.
Who is yuan Qiao? He was the grandson of Yuan Huan, a doctor at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the son of Yuan GUI, the son of the son of the state of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the small imperial court was still the Marquis of Changhe township. He once refused to serve as situ Zuoxi's (nine grade official), but now he assists Huan Wen as the government's "seven grade official".
It seems that the official positions of the Han ministry have not been compiled, that is to say, what official positions are like, but they are modeled on the ancient system of three Gong and nine Qing.
It's so strange that there is no boundary. To say that the Taiwei, situ and Sikong were three masters in the Han Dynasty, they can be regarded as magnificent and boundless. Up to now, the Taiwei still retains their due noble status, but the status of situ and Sikong has declined a little. Needless to say, Jiuqing was the center before he was qualified, but during the two Jin Dynasties, he was able to set up Jiuqing himself (with different names). What's more exaggerated is that the status of great general, Hussars general and riding general has declined infinitely, and almost all of them are about to become honorary titles. Even the four expeditions, four towns and four Yi generals are somewhat inferior.
It's OK to imitate the ancient style of the Han Dynasty, but if the Han Dynasty established the country, the civilian level may not matter much, but it is still the top three generals, such as the top general, the Hussars general and the cavalry general. Then the top general, the Hussars general and the cavalry general may still be the top three in the Han Dynasty or called the Han country, but... Other countries are the top general, the Hussars general and the cavalry general, How embarrassing should that be?
"What kind of officers are you... Joining the army?" Yuan Qiao must ask that it is better to understand some things first than to be ignorant.
Liu Yan was silent.
"The Han Dynasty did not establish a country." Sang Yu said in a relaxed tone, "it is the talented people who have made meritorious service, waiting for the time of glory."
"We have twenty barons." Ji Chang has always been expressionless to people other than Liu Yan, and there will be no emotional fluctuation when he speaks: "the title will be the foundation of our country, and the official position has yet to be determined on what system to use."
They are here to talk about unrelated war... At least topics unrelated to this war. The battle outside is about to begin.
Huan Wen came back with more than 2000 demobilized soldiers. What is more incomprehensible is that those demobilized soldiers are not in a bound state. Except that they do not wear the robes of the Han Army, they have weapons on their horses.
The process of the last war was more complicated. Huan Wen defeated Wang Ji, but Wang Ji left unharmed. Before leaving, he gave Huan Wen a suggestion that he should gather the troops. Those troops were Wang's sincerity to Liu Yan. Huan Wen did not mention the latter point in his letter.
At least before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, giving people away was a popular thing. For example, in dowry, it was given to labor or warriors. Friends and friends would also send private soldiers or singers, dancers and actresses to each other.
In short, Wang Ji's sending people behind is releasing a signal to Liu Yan, not Huan Wen. But I don't know why Huan Wen didn't mention it, or even whether Huan Wen will mention it.
Wang Luan sent troops to intercept Huanwen, and Liu Yan sent troops to take over, but according to the actual situation, Huanwen seems to have his own plan.
"Li Xiaowei, are you confident of defeating the crowd again?"
"I will obey reasonable orders."
"Now it is in the main camp, under the gaze of Duke Liu (Liu Yan). How much credit has been built before, which is presented on paper, how can it be more profound than showing Wu Yong in front of Duke Liu."
"The ability of the last general lies not in his personal bravery, but in obeying orders and leading his robes to meet death or bring death."
It has to be said that although he had only been in contact for less than half a month, Huan Wen appreciated Li Kuang very much. He appreciated Li Kuang's reticence and his no hesitation in implementing military orders. But he doesn't like Li Kuang's obvious refusal now.
In the final analysis, Huan Wen was not the real leader of the cavalry. He also knew this. After Li Kuang disagreed, he could only order the flag bearer to signal to the main camp.
"Sir, Huan Wen asked the troops out of the camp to cooperate and attack the enemy out of the camp."
Liu Yan saw the sign language and could understand some of Huan Wen's mentality, but some words could not be spoken by him.
"Huan Wen is capable, but he seems rebellious."
Yuan Qiao was worried when he heard Ji Chang say that, but he didn't know what to say. He knows who Ji Chang is, and knows more about Ji Chang's position in Liu Yan's heart. If you really want to describe it, he can directly understand that Ji Chang is Liu Yan's loyal Eagle dog, and being able to become a ruler Eagle dog is by no means as simple as having ability. Trust is giving to each other, which means that Liu Yan trusts Ji Chang.
Just when Yuan Qiao wanted to say something, Ji Chang over there spoke again.
"We need capable people. Maybe you should agree to Huan Wen's request?"
It must be admitted that Yuan Qiao didn't understand what Ji Chang wanted to do or his attitude towards Huan Wen (possibly including himself).
Of course, Wang Luan is also standing on the nest car, the main camp of Zhao Jun in Shijie.
Wang Luan already knew everything he should know, including Wang Ji's private suggestion that the war should still be fought, but maybe he should leave a way back.
Wang Luan also belongs to the school of Shi Zun, and Shi Zun, to tell the truth, is not the powerful group of Shi Hu's many sons. If anything happens to the Wang family, their common conclusion is that Shi Zun may not be able to help. This is really not a good thing on the premise that Shi Hu is crazy and some classes persecute Jin people.
[it's true that Wang Luan has left a way back, but not now.] Wang Luan is not talking about moral integrity. He is worried. There is a clear message that Shi Hu intends to replace all Jin generals and replace them with Jie people, Qiang people and Di people. He frowns and looks at the man on another nest car: [someone has been sent to monitor, and the next step is to seize the military power?]
The person on the other nest car is Zhai bin. He is not from the Central Plains. He comes from Ding Ling in Mobei.
Ding Ling's history is not short at all. It existed as early as the pre-Qin period in ancient times. However, they were first subdued by the Huns, then succumbed to Xianbei, and recently became ministers to Shijie. They have never been a mainstream nation.
By the way, Ding Ling people have a low sense of existence, but they may be more familiar with another name. They can be called Chi Le, tie Le or Di Li. They are the actual rulers of Mobei at present, with a large tribal population, but no strong leader can unify all tribes.
Zhai bin is also thinking about his mind. He intends to unify the tribes in Mobei and welcome the glorious period of Ding Ling, but there is a premise that he will come to attach to Shi Hu only after he obtains enough money and resources.
The first test Shi Hu gave Zhai bin was relatively simple. He monitored Wang Luan and thought it could be replaced when necessary.
In short, that is to say, Shi Hu no longer believes in any Jin people because of Ran min's betrayal (and so on). He has begun to do the work of gathering military power, and secretly deployed a set to deal with those Jin people who are officials, so that more people can support the operation of the country.
Not only was Wang aware of the crisis, but in fact Zhang and Guo also noticed it. These three most powerful families in the Central Plains need to deal with unprecedented crises, and they seem to have more choices? Liu Yan can only say that he is at the bottom.
