The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

There is no freedom in a hundred feelings, and the sound of the horn sings alone in the sunset building.

Bishan thinks endlessly all day long, when will Fangcao stop hating?
The eyelashes can't be seen in front of your eyes, what else can you ask for if you are not outside your body.

Who is like Mr. Zhang, a thousand poems lighten thousands of households.

——"Deng Chizhou Jiufeng Tower Sends Zhang Hu" Du Mu (Tang Dynasty)

……

All the courtiers were shocked, knowing that a big drama was about to be staged.

Bai Fu took out a thin booklet and said: "This is a list of personnel I got from the Internal Servant's Mansion. It recorded the resume of the internal servant and eunuch Ai Dong.

This person was originally a Guigong from Yihong Courtyard in Pingkangfang, but because he clinged to Yang Guozhong's third concubine, Yin Fenglan, he entered the palace cleanly, became an eunuch, and was promoted to the emissary envoy.

Countless men from the Tang Dynasty fought the enemy bravely and sacrificed their lives for the country before Liu Zhan's rebellion was put down.

Such illustrious military exploits should have been grandly rewarded by the imperial court.Unexpectedly, the imperial court appointed such a person as an imperial envoy to comfort the Jianghuai Tang army.

Since the Anlushan Rebellion, in order to prevent the Jiedu envoys from making chaos, the imperial court changed its previous practice and arbitrarily rotated the chief generals of several major frontier armies.From a certain point of view, it is a bit overkill.

Several court officials who participated in the decision-making of this matter bowed their heads and remained silent.It is an unspoken rule commonly used by the imperial court to allow generals with great achievements to stigmatize themselves, and it cannot be put on the table.Once it is broken, it will be a situation where the country is shaken.

The generals involved were either killed like Bai Qi and Han Xin, or they turned against each other like Zhang Han, a general at the end of Qin Dynasty, and ruined the Great Qin Empire.

Hearing this, Lai Zhen, the envoy of the Shizhou Festival on the Eastern Road in Shannan, expressed his feelings and nodded frequently.

The chief general is sent from above, and will be rotated away after three or five years, so naturally he has no affection for this army.

In the Battle of Tongguan, Bian Lingcheng, the eunuch and supervisor of the army, failed to ask for bribes. He held a grudge against General Gao Xianzhi, misled the Supreme Emperor, destroyed the Great Wall himself, and killed Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing before the battle. Entering Chang'an, let the capital become a hell on earth.

You must know that Guigong is a man who makes tea, pours water and does chores for prostitutes and customers in a brothel. There are also some black-hearted and vicious people who are trained by the old bustard to act as prostitutes and thugs, also known as big teapots.His status is extremely low. Once he gets into this line of work, even his descendants will not be able to lift their heads up.

The golden scale is not a thing in the pool, and it will change into a dragon when it encounters the situation.

……

As the commander-in-chief of the Jianghuai Tang Army, I am deeply ashamed!
When I go to court today, I just want to ask, who recommended this person to His Majesty to comfort Jianghuai? ! "

As a result, these generals don't care about the life and death of the soldiers under their command, nor do they care about whether they can win the battle.

This time, even Prince Li Chu's face changed.His palms were soaked with sweat, and if he handled this matter a little carelessly, it would lead to a catastrophe.

These generals should be salvaged and taken, but he is in charge of the army and has more or less an explanation for the soldiers under his command.

Only in this way can the upper and lower have the same desire.Regardless of whether the leader is the leader or the strategist, the soldiers are willing to follow the leader when it comes to the decisive battle, put on the tough and stick, give up life and forget death, and would rather die than retreat!

If the army makes mistakes and loses a battle, they will all be blamed on the subordinates, ranging from a staff to a stalker, to an owl's head. Anyway, there are people protecting the court, what can the lower-ranking officers and soldiers do to you? !
As for whether the army under their command is an iron-blooded army, the morale of the officers and soldiers, and whether they can defeat the enemy, they don't care at all.Their mission in the army is to practice a level here, as a springboard, to increase their military experience, and then go to other places to become a bigger officer.

If Bai Fu can get the support and support of the Wang family, this son may truly understand the emperor's mind and become a generation of hero with great talent and boldness. "

If the situation is true, it would be a great insult to the generals of the Tang army to let a eunuch who used to be a turtle become an imperial envoy!
Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, let alone the soldiers of the three armies who defend their homes and the country!

At this time, Lai Zhen was reporting on his duties in Chang'an. He was a man of iron, known as "Lai Chew Iron".

The point is that Bai Fu, as Princess Qingluan's quasi-consort, has a very special status.

I would like to ask my lords, is this the court's attitude towards meritorious soldiers?
The two generals Huyan Tieyi and Yuchi Hushi had joined the army in Anxi since they were young, and followed the three generals Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, and Li Siye to fight against Zhuhu more than [-] times, and they were powerful in the Western Regions.

Han Feizi said: "The prime minister must rise from the prefecture, and the strong general must rise from the army."

Wang Jing of the Wang family in Taiyuan thought to himself: "Bai Fu is still young, breaking through this layer of window paper will make it impossible for the court and him to retreat.

Bai Fu's voice was like a torrent of bells, and when he talked about the emotion, the hall was deafeningly deafened.

Liu Zhan raised troops, and the former Jianghuai generals defected one after another and joined Liu Zhan's rebel army.why?
It is because Xing Yanen, the military supervising envoy, is the same as he was with the generals in Anxi, he tortured and extorted confessions on the grounds of embezzlement of military pay and other crimes, made crimes, and made fun of people in the army!As a result, the former Jianghuai generals and Datang were at odds with each other, and there was a deep grievance. Once the rebels were incited and instigated, they would immediately turn against each other. "

Everyone had their own ghosts, Bai Fu talked eloquently, and said: "Speaking of which, I hope that the imperial court will seriously review the military supervision system, especially let eunuchs be the military supervisors.

Because they don't care about the soldiers, they don't understand the fine traditions of this army, and they don't understand the thoughts of each general, so they don't trust the soldiers below. As the art of war, jb tossing blindly every day.

During the New Year and festivals, hold a dinner party, kill pigs and sheep, guess the number with punches, small bets and so on, have fun, have fun, and buy people's hearts.

The main generals before the Tang Dynasty were all promoted from the bottom, and they had deep emotions and a strong sense of belonging to the army they had grown up along the way.

People like Feng Changqing and Li Siye who went from low-level soldiers to Anxi Jiedu envoy, if you say that they have no feelings for Anxi Army, no one will believe it.

Even a general like Li Guangbi with strict military discipline and military orders like a mountain will not press down on the generals below too tightly. After all, they are all brothers who grew up together from the hail of guns and arrows.

……

The brothers abandoned their homes and careers and risked their lives on the battlefield, so it’s fine if they are not rewarded. Stabbing a knife in the back with a knife and pen official is really chilling.

No matter how strict the training is, or even beating and scolding, at the end of the year, some money will be taken from the military pay to let everyone have a good year.

Even if the chief general is like this, if there is another military supervising envoy who doesn't understand military affairs, but can also direct the appointment of generals, strategy and tactics, this time, even if the army was once a tiger and wolf army, it will restrain itself and abolish martial arts.Once encountering a strong enemy, it is bound to be defeated at the touch of a touch, and it will be defeated repeatedly. "

They only need to manage the army according to the requirements of the court, to drill the army, have an account to the court, and try not to lose the battle.

After hearing Bai Fu's impassioned speech, Lai Zhen came out and said to the courtiers: "What General Bai said is true. In the past two years, the way the imperial court has treated our generals is really chilling. We can't go out because of Jiedu envoys. If rebels like An Lushan are caught, we will be treated as a scourge and a scourge, and we will be strictly guarded.

Bai Fu went on to say: "I received an order from the Ministry of War and immediately left the Jianghuai camp and returned to Chang'an. On the way, I received a letter from the pigeons in front of the army. In order to make more money, the imperial eunuch Ai Dong and the eunuch Xing Yanen joined hands to deal with me. The generals in Anxi coerced and lured them, executed torture to extract confessions, forced the generals to repent and admit their mistakes, and self-stigmatize themselves...

They didn't die in the battle of Xiaobolu, Talas, Xiangji Temple, Tibetans, big cannibals, and Shi Siming in Anlu Mountain. In his hands, he almost died in the hands of Guigong eunuch!
Back then, parachutist Li Guang would rather draw his sword and kill himself than be insulted by the swordsmen.Are you adults going to let this scene happen again? "

Xu Taifu passed away, and his eldest grandson Yan Xing fled far away. Bai Fu lacked an experienced person in the imperial court to guide him and help him plan the way to become an official.Although Yan Zhenqing, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Liu Yan, Minister of the Household Department, were Bai Fu's good friends, Mr. Yan was too upright. Liu Yan was only good at finance and taxation, but not enough to assist Bai Fu.

Would the imperial court dare to kill Bai Fu like Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing?
It is true that Bai Fu acted domineeringly, but did he dare to be like An Lushan and Liu Zhan, who disagreed with each other and caused a disturbance in the heavenly palace?

Over the years, the chief generals of the armies around me have almost all been sent by the imperial court, and I have never heard of any of them working from the bottom.

As soon as Bai Fu said this, the court was in an uproar again.

One Bai Fu made Prince Li Chu unable to step down from power. At this time, an older and more experienced veteran army leader came to help, making this court meeting to blame Bai Fu into a meeting to denounce the imperial court for commanding the army indiscriminately. .

Prince Li Chu changed from embarrassment to shame, and then from shame to anger.

Li Chu's face was livid, and he wished he could immediately push these two generals out and kill them at the Meridian Gate!

Just when Prince Li Chu was thinking about how to end today's court meeting in a decent way, he heard the guards of the Forbidden Army outside the palace gate relaying orders one by one: "Hurry up for eight hundred miles, Mangshan is defeated, and Li Guangbi's army is wiped out! "

Everyone was shocked!
