Chapter 363 Recorded in this Chronicle (4K)

In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of April, and Li Ling had already set off with his troops, while Huo Shan and Liu Che were about to lead them out.

Huo Shan looked at Liu Che's golden appearance, but he curled his lips at his iron armor:
"Uncle, if you wear this armor to go into battle, you are a live target for the enemy's crossbowmen."

Liu Che waved his hand nonchalantly:

"Whether I go into battle or not, I am the commander in chief."

Huo Shan shook his head and ignored him, and told the herald next to him:
"Order the whole army, the Phoenix Army is behind, the Kui Niu Army is in the middle, and the [-] North Railways are riding on both sides. The target is Longcheng Shanyuting, and move forward."

"promise."

The army started to set off, and Liu Che rode his BMW. After walking for a while, he couldn't hold it anymore.

So he went straight back to his carriage.

Huo Shan looked at Zhang Anshi next to him:

"What's the current situation of the Huns?"

"Back to the champion, all the ministries in various places, except for those of the Shuangtian family, are as usual, there is no response to the grazing that should be grazing, and the hunting that should be hunting.

It is estimated that they are waiting for our arrival and then surrender, but since we came to the grassland, no one has contacted us yet, and there are people who contacted us before the future and wanted to surrender. "

"Normal, it's too late, just wait a few more days."

"I also have this opinion."

"What about the Twins?"

"The Shuangtian clan gathered at Shanyuting, with a large number of troops, no less than 15, and there were signs of fleeing north."

Huo Shan nodded:
"In the past two years, I have wiped out so many Huns soldiers and horses, and after eliminating other tribes, there are only so few Huns left.

As for escaping to the north, the general has already been discovered, the direction of the Western Regions to the west has been blocked, the mountains are to the east, and we are to the south.

So they can only go north, but not in the true north direction.

They must know better than us how cold the climate in the north is, the real world of ice and snow.

So if they wanted to escape, they would definitely go in the direction of Jiankun in the northwest.

But if they escape like this, they probably will be a little unwilling, so we should have a fight with them.

When the fight is over, win or lose, they should all be fleeing north, for we have other hordes coming from everywhere. "

After Huo Shan finished speaking, Zhang Anshi thoughtfully added:

"There will be a lot of cattle, sheep and horses with their families, and they will definitely go along the river, all the way to the vast sea, and finally flee to the northwest after replenishing the water source.

So Champion Hou sent Weiwei to stop them on the only way they must pass, and they must not be able to run away from us. We can weaken them layer by layer and scrape off their flesh.

And the general going to the Western Regions will not just block the way for the Xiongnu to go to the Western Regions, the general should set off to Jiankun in advance to block their way.

Afterwards, the soldiers and horses of various ministries gathered to directly defeat the demoralized Xiongnu, capture and kill Shanyu, and destroy them. "

Huo Shan clapped his hands and said with a smile:

"That's exactly right, that's all."

"Then what if the Xiongnu escaped without pestering them?"

"Escape? Where are you going? Let's talk if you can escape.

Times have changed. The big man and the Xiongnu are no longer the fastest runners, the best riders and shooters, but I, the big man. "

All in all, all in all, this battle must be won, there is no other result.

.........

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, the army marched for three days and traveled [-] miles. The starting point was nearly [-] miles away from Longcheng, but only [-]/[-] of the way.

In the past few years, the big Han has been strong, and the five hundred miles in the first three days is a vacuum between the two countries, and there are not many tribes.

Today, I finally encountered a tribe of a certain size.

"Order Dong Ming to lead a Sima's Phoenix Army to the north forty miles, where there is a tribe of 4000 people.

Put the Northern Army on the left side at its own position, and send two thousand soldiers and horses to the north-west corner for seventy miles. There is a tribe of 5000 people and a tribe of 2000 people.

Surrender if you can. If you don’t accept the terms, give them a quarter of an hour. After surrendering, find a way to kill the leader of the tribe and the vicious people in the tribe. Don’t forget to cut the grass and roots to avoid future troubles.

Then distribute the cattle and sheep to the ordinary people, and then leave them alone, let them herd the sheep and move to the border of the Han Dynasty, and someone there will arrange for them, register them, and divide the pastures.

Tell them, go to the big man obediently, don't even think about fleeing, after the Marquis leaves this battle, there will be big man soldiers and horses continuing to sweep the grassland, killing them when they see them, and they can't survive if they escape.

Remember their numbers, the people in the tribe, those who escaped more than one percent, all will be killed!
The tribes I meet in the future are equivalent to them, so I won't make arrangements again and again. "

There are not so many soldiers and horses to watch them migrate.

Huo Shan felt that the aristocrats were all killed, and with his own prestige, sharing the gratitude of the cattle and sheep, and the good life of the big man promoted these years, no ordinary people should flee.

But even if this is the actual situation, there must still be backhands and iron-blooded policies, otherwise they will be restless and think that they are important.

"Would it be too much? Just transfer these nobles away from the tribe and arrange them to be near Chang'an. Is it necessary to kill them all?"

Huo Shan glanced at Sima Qian who was speaking, and then explained:
"This move will benefit my big man's future rule over the Xiongnu, and let them know that if they dare to make trouble, they will be killed.

And it is also to win people's hearts. In the Xiongnu, the life of ordinary people is no different from that of slaves, so these nobles generally have deep hatred against ordinary people.

Don’t ask them to be grateful all the time, as long as they can be grateful to one generation, it is enough for this generation to affect two generations, and it is enough for me, a big man, to turn them into thoroughly Han people.

Although there are good tribal leaders among them, they would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go.

This is not the time for women's benevolence. The more problems that are cleared up at this time, the more stable they will be for my big man in the future. "

Sima Qian nodded after listening to Huo Shan's explanation, he was right, he couldn't have this kind of intolerable mentality at this time.

Under Huo Shan's order just recorded, Sima Qian drew a line on the order to destroy the tribal lord, leaving only those who killed the vicious ones.

He who drew the line did not plan to write it into his own history books. After all, Huo Shan's reputation was not very good, it was just a dispensable order.

He had too much contact with Huo Shan, and recorded a lot of material, so it is not certain whether this kind of thing will be recorded in it.

Huo Shan looked at his notebook with some curiosity:

"By the way, how are you going to write about me, and who am I to write a biography together with? Based on my achievements, I should be able to qualify for a separate biography, right?"

Sima Qian rolled his eyes:

"Biography, that's too petty. I'm planning to classify you into this category and list you separately."

Huo Shan was a little surprised, and still very surprised. Since the writing of Sima Qian's history book, although he has talked about this topic, he has never talked about himself. As long as it's not demeaning.

"Benji? Can I join Benji? Are you joking?"

Those who can be included in this book are all emperors, and the only two people who are not emperors are Overlord Xiang Yu and Empress Lu.

Although these two people are not emperors, what is the difference between Xiang Yu in the Chu and Han Dynasties and Empress Lu in the early Han Dynasty?

Benji, biography, family, book, and table are the five styles of "Historical Records".

This Ji, the biography of the emperor, records the emperor.

Biographies, biographies of princes and kings, records princes and kings and some foreign countries and races, and other aspects, such as biographies of cargo colonization.

The family records the history of the rise and fall of the vassal states from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the early Han Dynasty. It is taken from the founding of the princes and descendants.

Books, which record the dynasties and state codes of the past dynasties, and the evolution of the ancient and modern systems of the Ming Dynasty, such as the official system of the past dynasties.

Tables, simple memorabilia in various eras, are used as a link and supplement to the whole book.

"Why can't you include such a great achievement in this record?"

Huo Shan scratched his head:
"You are writing a history book, not a novel. I am a prince, and this book is used by the emperor. Can I be included in it?"

"My historical records are almost half written. Your majesty has read some of the ones I have written. Your majesty praised me and ordered me to include you in this chronicle."

Sima Qian was determined to include Huo Shan in this record. In his opinion, such a great achievement was enough to overcome the barrier of identity.

So he played some tricks. He showed Liu Che what he had written and did not mention anything bad about Liu Che. He was naturally very happy after reading it.

Sima Qian took advantage of the situation and asked whether Huo Shan should be included in this chronicle or biographies. Given Liu Che's love for Huo Shan, of course he blurted out and included it in this chronicle.

In his opinion, this is just an ordinary history book, although it is very different from the previous history books.

And this book has not been finished yet, and he can't see much of it. Even if he sees it, he won't know that this book can have such a great influence that it can make Sima Qian famous. For Shi Sheng.

But Huo Shan understood, he stared at Sima Qian, and Sima Qian looked at him calmly.

Not long after, Huo Shan waved his hand:
"As you please!"

Then he pulled the rein and turned away.

You said that you included yourself in this discipline, Huo Shan is not happy?
Of course he was happy, he would die if he was happy, well, he is the only one in this family to be included in this record as a minister, what a great honor, if he is not happy, he is mentally ill.

Sima Qian looked at Huo Shan who was leaving and smiled happily. In his opinion, this is right!

He had mixed with Huo Shan before Huo Shan's rise, in his opinion, Huo Shan was perfect, perfect in every aspect.

However, the way he looks at Huo Shan must be with his own personal emotions. His character is that he likes what he likes, and what he hates doesn't matter.

It may be a bit exaggerated to say that life at a glance is a bit exaggerated, but what he imagined for himself during the first contact will be what his attitude and impression of this person will be in the future.

And Huo Shan was the only person who changed him. Before he met Huo Shan, he didn't have a good impression of him.

First of all, Huo Shan is the son of a noble family, so he naturally has a bad impression of this group.

Secondly, Liu Che still dotes on him so much, and only takes his acquaintances to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, an honor that belongs only to the emperor.
So the attitude is even worse.

But his impression changed when he saw Huo Shan for the first time, because he found that Huo Shan was a good person!
Then with the deepening of contact with Huo Shan, his attitude towards Huo Shan changed from bad at the beginning to very good.

What was once a disadvantage has now become an advantage.

A child who has received so much favor and honor, and who is still the top of the big man, everyone is used to it, which shows that Huo Shan's character is very prominent.

What kind of character can develop such a good character in such an environment?

Being proud and loving, there is no doubt that he is the real proud son of heaven.

In fact, there is also a reason for Liu Che's growing fondness for Huo Shan.

As he deepened his contact, he found that he knew everything, which further proved this point.

Not to mention that his position as a marquis was supported by Huo Shan one by one.

And it's not just for him, with his character, if it's only for him, he will be suspicious.

It was Huo Shan who treated everyone like this, devoted himself to cultivating the people under his command, arranging official positions for them, and displaying their talents.

It's not like he hasn't thought about whether Huo Shan is eliminating dissidents, but time has proved everything.

The people Huo Shan arranged to go up were ten times and a hundred times stronger than the others.

Fortunately, he met such a talented and bold emperor as Liu Che for such a character.

"Sima Qian?"

Through the window of the carriage, Liu Che saw Sima Qian who was staring blankly and giggling at the side of the road and shouted, but Sima Qian ignored him, and Liu Che frowned and shouted again:
"Sima Qian?"

"Ah? Ah, Your Majesty, minister Sima Qian pays his respects to His Majesty."

"What are you doing standing on the side of the road? Does Zihou have something for you to pass on to me?"

Sima Qian was taken aback:
"Uh, yes, the former army encountered three tribes in front, and the Champion Marquis sent troops to mop up the surrendered troops, and asked the minister to report to His Majesty."

"Well, I get it, so Zihou doesn't have to tell me about this kind of thing, and he will report it when he encounters the Huns army."

"promise."

"What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"Gone."

"The minister will leave."

"Ah."

Sima Qian rushed forward after saluting, chasing Huo Shan.

Liu Che curled his lips as he watched Sima Qian go away, and muttered:

"Stay dumb, can't do anything, and has a straight temper. If it's not Zihou, he's just a material for writing a book."

Sima Qian caught up with Huo Shan all the way, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Huo Shan couldn't help asking:

"what happened?"

"Back to Champion Hou, His Majesty has an order that you don't need to report to His Majesty if you encounter a tribe or anything. Let Champion Hou deal with it by himself, and report when you encounter the Huns army."

Huo Shan was a little puzzled, I didn't think about reporting it to him, why did I say this suddenly?

"Oh, I see!"

Huo Shan put this matter behind him, looked at the empty grassland, turned his horse's head and walked to the side of the road, and Yulin who was guarding Huo Shan followed.

This will be nothing to do, he is going back to the carriage to sleep.
