I live forever in history

Chapter 69
"Xiu conquered Gengshi. At night, meteors fell into the camp, and in the daytime, clouds were like bad mountains. When the camp was destroyed, it fell, and it was scattered when it fell short of the ground. Officials and officials hated ambushes. This is written by you."

"Report to the Prime Minister, that's right." A historian nodded in reply.

"Then Su Chen, the general who conquered the west, was the one who wrote about the blizzard and hail that led to the direct surrender of the two clans when he conquered the Dayue clan and the Qiang clan?" The prime minister continued to ask.

"Exactly."

"Da Sima Liu Xiu happened to encounter bad weather in several battles and won without a fight. You wrote it?" The prime minister's face revealed a murderous look.

"good."

"It's ridiculous! When Gaozu was in power, the chief minister, Liu Xiu, was invincible in many battles. It's all because of luck in your writing?"

The prime minister threw the history books revised by the historians on the ground.

"The duty of your historians is to let future generations understand the truth of history, not to see the stories you wrote. Have you eaten the stone from the sky, the blizzard and hail, and Da Sima's art of war?"

The prime minister was a little annoyed.

Today, His Majesty wants to revise the history books of this dynasty, and he is in charge of it.

But how did these historians write it?

Those who don't research history at all, just write based on their wishful thinking.

"Prime Minister, ministers, etc. referred to the history books at that time and some books left by Sun Youquan Yushi, and obtained the general Su Chen who conquered the West at that time, and the Western Expedition did get the 'Heavenly Blessing'." A historian said bravely.

It's really not that they wrote indiscriminately, it was written like this in the information they found.

"Nonsense!" the prime minister roared angrily.

Su Chen, the General of the West Conquest, spent more than half a year in the conquest of the West, consuming countless food, grass and military equipment.

Since it was a long-distance battle, and the climate and weather were not suitable, the casualties must have been very heavy. It is very likely that it was the situation after the successful conquest of the Huns by the previous dynasty.

General Zhengxi retired and returned home immediately after his expedition to the west. If the casualties were less than a hundred as written by these historians, could Su Chen be resigned directly?
It must be that General Zhengxi had witnessed the cruelty of the war even though he conquered the Dayue Clan and the Qiang Clan, and his fellow soldiers died in front of his eyes one by one.

The grief in my heart was unbearable, and I finally chose to retire and return home.

General Zhengxi is really a man of temperament!
It's all because General Zhengxi left a deep lesson to the Qiang and Dayue clan. Even now, these two clans are extremely awed by the new dynasty.

"The real minister personally went to the leaders of the Qiang and Dayue clans for research. Both the Qiang people and the Dayue clan suffered heavy casualties, and the royal family of the Dayue clan has only 'Shabosi' left."

"If they all voluntarily surrendered back then, why did the two clans suffer so many casualties?"

The prime minister angrily criticized the historians present.

Only war can make those alien races surrender completely, and only by hurting them can they be in awe for hundreds of years.

The historians were afraid to speak.

The words of the victims at that time are still very useful.

"Prime Minister, but according to the letter left by Sun Youquan Yushi..."

"The relationship between Censor Sun Youquan and General Zhengxi was not harmonious. This is shown by the materials left by many courtiers at that time. There have also been many times in history books that Censor Sun Youquan impeached General Zhengxi."

"So Sun Yushi's description of General Zhengxi is inevitably biased." Cheng said to those historians.

"As historians, you must have the ability to distinguish between true and false. For example, the great Sima Liu Xiu, the military books he left behind are regarded as classics by the generals. How could it be possible that he has never really fought a battle, and he has never fought? It's lucky that you really dare to write." The prime minister looked at these historians with hatred.

Da Sima Liu Xiu's art of war is known as the most classic art of war in the new dynasty, how could it be possible.

"Take back the history books and revise them. Your Majesty and the truth have a limit to their patience. If you talk nonsense in the history books again, don't blame the truth for being ungrateful."

The prime minister waved his sleeves and left.

After the prime minister left, the historians present looked at each other in blank dismay.

"How should we revise this history book?" A historian said with some difficulty.

The documents they could find were all things like "meteorites falling from the sky" and "General Zhengxi asking for punishment from the sky". There are really not many records about the battle scenes.

"How can it be repaired? General Zhengxi spent a lot of money on the Western Expedition. After the Western Expedition ended, he felt that the war was ruthless, so he resigned and went back to seclusion."

"Great Sima Liu Xiu, fought countless battles and used soldiers like a god like a soldier saint. After the death of Emperor Gaozu, he was plagued by injuries and illnesses, so he had no choice but to resign and return to his hometown." A historian said.

How can it be modified, of course, it should be modified as the prime minister expects.

These are also the most acceptable statements of the world, "Stones from Beyond the Sky" and "Please punish the heavens" can only exist in unofficial history, and people don't believe in them at all.

"We are historians, how can we fabricate history?" A historian said with a frown.

"Compared to what Chen Yushi said, the history books we edited according to various documents before are more likely to be compiled." A tall and thin Yushi said.

Hearing the tall and thin Yushi's words, everyone fell silent.

It is true that the history books they edited before were too bizarre, even if the events they verified were like that, they still couldn't really believe it.

"The Prime Minister has given us an ultimatum. If the history books cannot be revised, I am afraid that you will all have to retire and return home." Chen Yushi said with a bitter face.

"Then revise the history books according to Chen Yushi's words."

"But I don't have any specific records about the battle scenes, how should I write it?" A historian asked.

The records they found were all very bizarre.

"If you were leading the troops, how would you fight?" Chen Yushi asked.

The rest of the historians have black lines on their faces. They are historians and civil servants. Isn't it a joke to ask them to lead the army?

"Chen Yushi means, let me take the situation of General Zhengxi and Da Sima at that time, and guess how they led the troops?" someone asked.

"That's right, that's what it means."

Although they are historians and officials, they have read a lot of history books, and they are familiar with the content of the generals leading troops to fight in the history books.

Even if it is definitely not possible to actually lead troops, it is not completely impossible to talk about troops on paper.

What they are doing now is talking on paper.

"If it were me, I..."

"The General Who Conquers the West is conquering alien races. You can borrow the fighting methods from the previous dynasty when he was conquering the Huns."

"Although I haven't read Da Sima's military book, I heard that the book mostly records how to overcome bad weather. At that time, Da Sima must have encountered a lot of bad weather."
