Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 53 Han Wu Era ([-])

Two months later
Han Guanghe Ernian

March
Main Hall of Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City
Another court meeting was held, which was still related to the Huns.

Emperor Liu Che occupies a high position, and on the left and right sides are Da Xing Ling Wang Hui, Yushi Dafu Han Anguo, and the rest are ministers.

"I married the daughter of the Han Dynasty to the Shanyu of the Huns, and gave them gold, silk and tea leaves as gifts to the Shanyu of the Huns, but the Huns didn't know how to be grateful, and they wanted to plunder the border of the Han Dynasty every day. The prefectures have elected many talents for the imperial court to assist the great Han. Minyue, Nanyue and other countries in the south are also feared by Li Xi and others. They will not threaten the southern border of the Han in a short time. I want to take this opportunity to attack the Xiongnu. How do you feel about washing away my previous humiliation?" Emperor Liu Che said to the ministers.

As soon as the words came out, the faces of the ministers changed drastically. Before they could stand up to object, the emperor's follower, Wang Hui, stood up and echoed early: "I heard that there was a country called Dai in the Warring States period, and there was a powerful country in the north. Donghu, there are vassal states in the Central Plains in the south, and they still defeated the Xiongnu? Now, with your prestige, the whole world obeys your orders, how can you continue to be humiliated by the Xiongnu? I think it is time to counterattack Best time for the Huns!"

"What Wang Aiqing said is true." Liu Che nodded in satisfaction.

But other ministers were anxious.

"The Great Execution Order is just talking nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, please don't listen to slander."

"..."

Among the many objections, only Han Anguo, the official censor, was reasonable, and he refuted with reason and evidence: "In the past, Emperor Gao led a large army to attack the Huns, but was surrounded by the Huns. In the end, he relied on Chen Ping to rescue the siege to get out of danger." , The ancient saints, such as Yao, Shun and Yu, would not send troops to fight because of their anger, causing waste of people and money. Now the precedent of the siege of Emperor Gaozu is right in front of you, but you want to send troops to the Huns because of your hatred for the Huns. Isn’t that right? What a wise king should do."

When Han Anguo said this, Liu Che frowned slightly, already a little angry in his heart, but he still held back his anger.

"The censor's statement is a fallacy that harms the country and the people!" Wang Hui is not a clay figurine, so it is impossible for him to point at Han Anguo without getting angry after so many sentences.

"You!" Han Anguo's fingers trembled slightly, but he still wanted to maintain a gentleman's dignity and could not swear, so he snorted coldly and signaled others to attack Wang Hui.

Then...

"The big order, you want to harm the country and the people, why do you want to frame it?"

"Your Majesty, the treacherous minister is in the court, and he has jumped out by himself. It is him, Wang Hui!"

"Sycophants such as Wang Hui, who have harmed the country and the people, will not be eliminated. Veterans... even if they die, they will have no words to face the late emperor!"

"Wang Hui previously tricked His Majesty into violating the kinship system, and now he's tricking His Majesty into going to war with the Xiongnu. It's really a malicious intention!"

All the ministers criticized Wang Hui, and Wang Hui was very angry, so he retorted: "Whether you marry or not, the Huns will plunder my people. I think the marriage should stop long ago!"

"In the past..." All the ministers came up with old-fashioned arguments to refute Wang Hui, and finally persuaded Liu Che: "Marriage is the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty, and it must not be changed without authorization. Please don't be fooled by villains."

"Okay, let's skip the topic of getting married." Liu Che was also very irritable, so he skipped this topic directly, and then continued to ask the ministers: "I crusade against the Huns, occupy the territory of the Huns, and seek a broader survival for the people of the big man. Land, is this considered a waste of money?"

Han Anguo shook his head and said: "I heard that the land of the Xiongnu is barren. Even if they occupy it, they can't cultivate it, and they have to spend a lot of money on it, causing countless people to lose their families to support the frontline war. Isn't this a waste of money?"

"The censor's words are too superficial." Wang Hui quickly retorted: "As long as the Xiongnu are frightened and they dare not come to invade us again, the small countries in the distance will submit to us, and the border will no longer have to lose property because of being looted. Population, how can this be considered a waste of money?"

"Huh! The premise of Da Xing Lingyou's words is to scare the Huns, but what if they fail to scare the Huns?" A minister retorted.

"The Huns are erratic and live by water and grass. As soon as we leave, they run away without a trace. As soon as we leave, they come back again. It is not easy to fight at all." Han Anguo is also a person who understands military warfare, although he He doesn't want to fight, but it doesn't mean he can't fight. He is still very clear about the situation of the Huns, and the Huns are really not easy to fight.

"That's because you are all afraid of the Huns!" Wang Hui retorted again: "Meng Tian, ​​who tyrannized the Qin Dynasty, defeated the Huns, which proves that the Huns are not easy to fight. Since the Huns are erratic, it is difficult to find them if they take the initiative. Why don't we Set up traps to lure them into Han territory, and fight us decisively in Han territory?"

"It's easy to say, how can it be so easy to bring in the main force of the Huns?"

"Yeah yeah."

"Doctor Yushi's words are justified."

Han Anguo continued to refute, and the rest of the ministers also echoed. They didn't want to fight the Huns. If they lost, they would lose their power and humiliate the country. If they won, those officers could use their military merits to step on their heads. Not good news.

"Now I happen to have a way to bring in the main force of the Huns to fight." It wasn't until this time that Wang Hui, who had sung the double-reed opera with the emperor for a long time, finally revealed his plan.

It turned out that it was a tyrant who was serving as a county lieutenant in Mayi County who proposed to the court a plan to trap and kill the Huns.

The trick is that he will hang the heads of death row prisoners at the gate of the county seat, and pretend to surrender to the Xiongnu, deceiving himself that he has killed the county magistrate and county magistrate of Mayi County, luring the main force of the Huns to plunder Mayi County, and then the big Han The army ambushed near Mayi County took the opportunity to come out and besiege and kill the main force of the Huns.

"Absurd! Absurd!"

After all, Han Anguo knew military affairs, and when he heard about this plan full of loopholes, he directly refuted it.

Although Wang Hui also knows some military affairs and has defeated Minyue, but it was because of Li Xi after all. In addition, at this time, he urgently needs to please the emperor who is eager to fight, so he must do his best to cater to the emperor, so he immediately retorted: "The censor has not done it for too many years. I have fought a war, but I dare not use such a good strategy, what the country needs now are young people."

"you!!!"

"Wang Hui, don't you know military affairs very well?"

"At least I won the Minyue Kingdom, can't I compare to you people who talk about war on paper?"

"Joke, do you really think we don't know? Minyue was defeated by Li Xi, you're just getting the favor!"

"You say that I have been honored, so what military achievements do you have? Can you let me see who is honored?"

"Hmph! I don't have the same knowledge as you."

Wang Hui quarreled with the ministers again.

"Okay! Stop it!" Liu Che became more and more impatient, and directly issued an order: "I think the strategy proposed by the Da Xing Ling is completely feasible, so let..."

After some arrangements, Han Anguo, the doctor of imperial history, served as the commander-in-chief, the general of the guard army, Li Guang, the Wei Wei, the general of Xiaoqi, Sun He, the servant of the imperial court, the general of Qingche, Wang Hui of the Daxingling, the general of the general, and Li Guang, a doctor of Taizhong. The breath is a material officer and general.

Among them, Xiaoqi is cavalry, light chariot is chariot, general is field soldiers, and Caiguan is infantry.

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years! The big man will win!"

The ministers still wanted to persuade, but seeing the murderous eyes of the emperor, they had to shake their heads and give up, shouting "We must win" to express their support, but they were already cursing the emperor and Wang Hui in their hearts.
