Han Shizu

Chapter 1113
Because of the one-day delay in Zhongmou County, Yantuo also waited an extra day at Xiangfu Station, but received it smoothly.However, Chai Rong did not dare to sit down when faced with the courtesy received by the emperor with his imperial chariot. The courtesy belongs to the courtesy, and the heart belongs to the heart. As a courtier, he should show the humility he should have in the face of such kindness.Therefore, Chai Rong and Yan Tuo escorted the empty car to Qionglin Garden to pay homage.

In this way, the effect of killing three birds with one stone has also been achieved.The emperor's kindness and respect for the heroes is reflected. As a minister, he is equally beautiful, and once again highlights the majesty of the imperial power and the supremacy of the emperor. How can ordinary people be able to ride on the imperial chariot.

"Chen Chai Rong, see Your Majesty!"

"Chai Qing, hurry up and get rid of the ceremony!" For Chai Rong's return, Liu Chengyou seemed very happy, and the smile on his face could almost warm people's hearts.

"Since you went to the northwest, we, the monarch and his ministers, haven't seen each other for nearly two years. Last year's ceremony, you were not in Beijing to share the grand event. My heart is empty. I feel very sorry!" Liu Chengyou personally helped Chai Rong up , lead him to sit down.

Regarding this, Chai Rong was also very moved, and he smiled in conjunction with it, and he said it as a compliment: "Although I am far away in the northwest, I have heard about the affairs of the court. Your Majesty has worked hard for fifteen years, and finally wiped out the separatist regime, ruled the world, and rebuilt the country. Taiping, with high merits and virtues, directly catching up with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, can be regarded as the only person through the ages, which is admirable.

Although the minister did not attend the grand meeting, he sang meritorious deeds for His Majesty and prayed for the prosperity of the Great Han just like the billions of people of the Great Han."

"Stop! Stop quickly!" Liu Chengyou stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "I'm going to blush when Chai Qing praises me so much, I dare not do it, I really don't dare to do it!"

"The minister speaks from the bottom of his heart!" Chai Rong was slightly stupefied, and then he couldn't help laughing, but his expression quickly returned to solemnity.

To be honest, Liu Chengyou was really surprised by Chai Rong's performance. When did the British Duke start to say such flattering and flattering words.In the past, when monarchs and ministers met each other, it was not that Chai Rong did not praise Liu Chengyou, but it was not like this.

The merits of the Three Emperors and the Degao Five Emperors, although in the eyes of Emperor Liu, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are really nothing, but in the eyes of the world, they are still a model of the emperor's merits, which is a lofty praise.Therefore, Emperor Liu was very happy to hear Chai Rong's boast.

It depends on who said this kind of praise. A minister like Chai Rong is quite surprised to come out so suddenly.

While drinking iced watermelon juice, the two relieved the summer heat, looked at Chai Rong, and Liu Chengyou said: "The battle in Hexi was fought beautifully, but it took only one month to recover Hexi and make the banner of the Han Dynasty fly again. Shangyangguan Guancheng, publicizing the might of our great Han country and army, I heard about it in Tokyo, and I couldn’t help feeling ups and downs, and the whole court was full of joy and encouragement!"

Of course, Chai Rong would not listen to what Emperor Liu said, but the attitude shown by the Son of Heaven reassured Chai Rong a lot.

"Finally, the great trust of His Majesty and the court has been fulfilled!" Chai Rong sighed heavily, and said, "Unfortunately, compared with the original plan, there have been quite a few deviations and accidents, resulting in twists and turns that almost affected the entire army!"

Obedient and obedient, as soon as Chai Rong expressed his words, Emperor Liu immediately understood that it was impossible for Chai Rong to hear all the criticisms in the court. It cannot be changed.The British public was obviously dissatisfied with those voices.

Regarding this, Liu Chengyou naturally showed a magnanimous expression, raised his hand, and said: "How can we demand perfection, and there is never a fixed plan. Soldiers have no shape, water has no shape, and it should be adjusted according to the time and place.

Some remarks, just ignore it, the views of scholars are not the same.If the Battle of Hexi was not fought well enough, then the big men fought back and forth in such wars, and there were not a few casualties and generals, wouldn't they all be punished? "

"Your Majesty is wise!"

On issues of principle, Chai Rong is still very persistent. He can ignore the criticism of others, but he can't tolerate the obliteration of the achievements of soldiers in bloody battles. A qualified commander will love his subordinates and will not let them disappointment.

"However!" Knowing the emperor's attitude, Chai Rong began to discuss the matter again, and said solemnly: "After all, the ministers and the generals have underestimated the Uighurs, and they have the heart to indulge and underestimate the enemy. With the strength of the big man, it only needs ten thousand With the momentum of Jun, he culled the past, but in the end, he went deep with the forward and alone, and was almost killed by the enemy.

In the Battle of Yanzhi Mountain, although the results were brilliant and had the effect of securing Hexi in the first battle, Guo Jin and the others fought very hard and were close to being wiped out at one point, losing more than half, and the rest were injured. ! "

Hearing Chai Rong's summary, with a look of shame on his face, Liu Chengyou naturally played a comforting role, saying: "You don't have to blame yourself, and I am not the one who blames everything. Although there are some twists and turns in the process, the result is always good. I am also very satisfied. The imperial court will not forget the achievements of the soldiers. The Ministry of War has already arranged and implemented the matter of rewarding the soldiers for recovering Hexi. When Wang Yansheng, Guo Jin and other generals arrive in Beijing, I will hold a royal banquet for them Congratulations!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chai Rong got up and bowed solemnly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chai Rong asked Liu Chengyou tentatively: "May I ask Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with Wang Yansheng and Guo Jin?"

"How to deal with what?" Liu Chengyou showed surprise on his face, as if he didn't react.

Unable to figure out what the emperor was thinking, Chai Rong still vaguely mentioned the matter of killing prisoners that caused great criticism.Regarding this, Emperor Liu's expression darkened visibly to the naked eye, and he cursed: "These two are really daring and outrageous!"

Then he changed his face again, and said with a light smile: "You, the commander, are responsible for dealing with the problems on the battlefield. How did you punish them at that time?"

Upon hearing this, Chai Rong said, "Army staff of eighty!"

"Since you have already dealt with it, there is no need for me to ask any more questions and add punishment! I and the court only punish the aftermath and reward!" Liu Chengyou said in a relaxed tone.

"Your Majesty has such a heart, how can the soldiers continue to be loyal and try their best to repay it!" Chai Rong said with some emotion.

"Soldiers were born to risk their lives, to expand their borders, and the court should not let them down!"

"What do you think about the Guiyi Army issue?" Liu Chengyou mentioned another matter that made him unhappy.

"I believe that the internal problems of the Cao family can be resolved by themselves. After our army entered the land of Guasha, it is already under the control of the court. With Lu Duoxun's talent, it is enough to stabilize it. As for Cao Yuanzhong, he is a smart man. He will give the court an explanation!" Chai Rong said.

In the big Han's plan, Yang Tingzhang sent the people of Guasha to the east, and cooperated with the imperial court to collect Hexi.However, the result was not so smooth. Although Cao Yuanzhong, who was in charge of the country, made up his mind to join the imperial court, the Guiyi Army was not his Guiyi Army after all.

Inside the Guiyi Army and the Cao Clan, there are all opponents. These people really have no feelings for the Central Plains and the big Han, and they all regard Guasha as their territory and family property.It is said that they will receive preferential treatment from the imperial court, but how can the imperial court treat everyone with high officials, noble titles and generous salaries?
As a result, a group of people with vested interests banded together to oppose entering the Han Dynasty, which caused a conflict within the Guiyi Army. With such a group of people holding back and even confronting each other, Lu Duoxun and Yang Tingzhang's mission in Guasha naturally did not go well.

Fortunately, Cao Yuanzhong sincerely wanted to return to the Central Plains, and Cao Yuangong and other important civil and military supports calmed down the opposition.However, with so much delay, the timing of the pincer attack was also perfectly missed. By the time the reorganized thousands of rebel troops marched eastward, the Han army had already encircled Suzhou.

Although the result was satisfactory, Emperor Liu was very dissatisfied with the twists and turns that occurred in the Guiyi Army and its introduction to Tokyo.In his view, this is the performance of half-hearted and half-hearted.

That is to say, Cao Yuanzhong's performance has been consistent before and after, otherwise the big stick from the emperor would have been beaten long ago.At this time, following Chai Rong's suggestion, Emperor Liu also agreed. The current situation in Hexi is still based on stability.

However, he has already made up his mind.Originally, he didn't intend to take too much action against the Guiyi Army and the Cao Clan, but now, in Emperor Liu's plan, the Guiyi Army must be completely dismantled and rectified, and the Cao Clan and the major families of the Guasha regime must all move inland!
