The great man will live forever

Chapter 188 The road to grassroots counterattack
"Xiong Er, go after the Prime Minister. It's best if you can capture him alive. If not, just kill him!
Zhao Anguo, Wei Tai, Puluo, Fu Tianyu, you guys, take Fujie to march the Hu cavalry in Changshui and Xuanqu. If things change, you can do it easily..."

"promise!"

This is a cheap act, which means that you can kill people at will. When it comes to this, you should be quick, ruthless, and accurate, and kill when you need to.

Any hesitation and delay may have negative consequences.

Liu Han issued orders in an orderly manner. Zhao Anguo was the son of Zhao Ponu. Since Zhao Ponu escaped from the Huns, he has not been reused.

Of course, Zhao Ponu is older, over 50 years old, but Liu Haihan has a closer relationship with him.

Wei Tai is the son of Wei Shan. Wei Shan is now a captain and is now older. He is stationed in the border city, in the surrender city built by Gongsun Ao.

When he defeated Korea, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent [-] troops. One force was led by General Yang Pu, who crossed the Bohai Sea from Qidi. Another force, led by General Xunshe from the left, left Liaodong by land and attacked the right by land and water. King of Qu.

As a result, both armies were defeated. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Shan, a marquis, as an envoy to inform King Youqu. King Youqu was oppressed by the two armies of the Han Dynasty and expressed his willingness to surrender.

Then, halfway through, due to Xun She's deception and Wei Shan's fear of accidents, things went wrong. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to kill Wei Shan, but Liu Han stopped him, and his title and status were lost.
Later, Liu Han sent him to the frontier for training. Before Zhao Ponu was captured alive by the Xiongnu, he followed Zhao Ponu for a while and started as a soldier. Weishan learned his shame and became brave. Now he is making a comeback.

Especially in the battle when Zhao Ponu was captured, under Liu Han's reminder, he made a prompt decision, killed those who wanted to surrender, and brought back 9000 people, without wiping out the entire 2-strong army, which was very impressive.

From then on, he always listened to Liu Han's words and sent his son Wei Tai to Liu Han.

There are many examples like this. It seems that Liu Han has not taken the initiative to make friends with the court generals in recent years. He stays at home honestly, but there are many generals who are favored by him and listen to his words.

This is his silent way of moisturizing things.

Nowadays, most of the important generals of the imperial court have served under him, such as Lu Bode, the Marquis of Kuofu Li, Zhao Ponu, the Marquis of Zunye, Zhao Anji, the Marquis of Changwu, Yi Jixuan, the Marquis of Zhongli...

Most of them grew old or were deprived of their titles by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
For example, Qu Zhonghou Puluo and Du Houfu Tianyu are the eldest sons of Puduo and Fuluzhi. Both of them were Huns who surrendered to the Huns.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty found an opportunity and took away the title. It was okay to just take the title. Liu Han might not care. If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to kill someone, he would basically plead for mercy. If he had no money, he would help pay the atonement.

Isn't it normal to plead for mercy for one's subordinates?It shows that he is affectionate and righteous.

In the original history, Prince Liu Zhi of Wei raised troops to protect himself.A civil war broke out in the imperial capital, but because Emperor Wu returned from Ganquan Palace in time, Liu Zhi did not seize the military power in Guanzhong.

Liu Zhi, who lacked troops and horses, could only open his arsenal to summon the people and release prisoners to resist Emperor Wu.

Liu Zheng remembered that Hu Qi was stationed in Changshui, Xuanqu and Changshui, so he sent an envoy to Changshui captain who commanded Hu Qi with Fu Jiediao to Chang'an to help out.

It was almost going to succeed. By coincidence, Emperor Wu also thought of Hu Qi and sent an envoy to mobilize troops.

Liu Ju's envoy was a prisoner named Ruhou. Ruhou had a eloquent tongue and deceived Hu Qi into coming just by relying on Liu Ju's talismans.

Unfortunately, when Hu Qi was approaching Chang'an, he met Emperor Wu's envoy. The envoy sent by Emperor Wu was his minister Mang Tong.

Mang Tong's sentence "Jie is deceitful, don't listen to it" made Hu Qi confused. Then he beheaded Ruhou and relied on Emperor Wu's talisman to pull Hu Qi away to surround Liu Ju.

Good guy, it was obviously a reinforcement, but it turned out to be the enemy when they arrived at Chang'an City.

After Liu Zheng failed, Emperor Wu's first wave of liquidation came, and the Huns princes in charge of Hu Qi also did not escape.

Yagu Hou Lu He was tortured to death because he accepted Liu Ju's troop deployment talisman.

After Liu Ju's death, the second wave of liquidation came again, and the Huns princes who surrounded and suppressed Liu Ju were also punished.

Sanhou Xiandun was arrested on charges of witchcraft and later died of illness in prison.

Previously, some Xiongnu princes died of illness in prison after being arrested for witchcraft.

It can be said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty after the witchcraft disaster was extremely unreasonable. His purpose of reckoning was to kill whoever he didn't like, and whoever he wanted to kill.

You help him, you actually attacked my son, you should be killed, you help the prince Liu Zhi, you actually helped my son to rebel against me, you are disloyal, you should be killed.

If you don't help each other, he will say that you are reaping the benefits of being a snake and a rat, so you deserve to be killed. For example, Ren An is a good example. He accepted the prince's order to send troops, but when he returned to the camp, The soldiers did not move.

After the witchcraft incident was settled, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed that Ren An was "sitting back and watching success or failure" and was "cheating and disloyal" and had him executed in half...

Good guy, is this your choice?The highest right of interpretation is always in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He wants you to die, no matter what he says, it makes sense.

Liu Han killed Su Wen at the beginning, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not able to get the news as quickly as in history.

Then, he sent several servants of the Huns, Fu Tianyu, and Zhao Anguo, who had stayed with the Huns and were very familiar with the Huns, to mobilize the Huns cavalry with talismans. It would be much easier to mobilize the Huns. Just like in history, he was robbed halfway by the envoys of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

These are all his layouts. They may seem inconspicuous, but they are very effective and can often have decisive power at critical moments.

Liu Han himself rode a horse and led people to the Northern Army camp.

"Why are you here, Grand Sima? Is there any order from His Majesty?"

At this time, Ren An was the envoy guard of the Northern Army and a senior official in charge of the Northern Army of the Imperial Guard in the capital. He controlled half of the Northern Army, with nearly [-] elite troops. Except for Hu Qi, most of the other Northern Army were scattered around Chang'an. Region (Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng).

Chang'an is not just a city of Chang'an, it must have a barrier, it is a large area in Guanzhong, otherwise the Huns would be able to reach Chang'an directly when they come.

"I have the prince's talisman, and you must have heard about the matter. Your Majesty may have been framed by a traitor. I will use the prince's talisman to mobilize the troops, eradicate the evil, and support your majesty!"

Liu Han said, taking out the prince's tiger talisman, and then his personal soldiers held it. It was a gold pole made of Chengdu. It was very exquisite, with red yak tail hair floating...

Fu Jie is the collective name for Fu and Jie. It is the voucher held by ancient messengers to convey orders, dispatch troops, enter and exit checkpoints, and send envoys.

Most are made of metal, and some are made of jade, bamboo and wood.

At that time, during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, in order to strengthen the central government's control over local areas, county guards began to use bronze tiger talismans and bamboo messenger talismans.The talisman is the tiger talisman, which is the abbreviation of the copper tiger talisman. It is made of copper and looks like a tiger, hence its name.

The talisman is 6 inches long and was originally in the shape of a complete tiger. It was divided into two parts along the back beam. The right half was reserved for the court, and the left half was given to the county or military camp.

The tiger talisman is specially used to send troops. If the court wants to mobilize soldiers in the army, the talisman must be sent to the supervisory army. Only when the talisman is met can the army be dispatched.The festival is a keepsake, a festival for commanding rewards and punishments. It is mostly made of bamboo and is about seven or eight feet long (one Chinese foot is about 1 inches today). The festival is decorated with a yak tail, which is paid annual tribute from Yakniu County. There are 7 layers in total, and the colors are often changed.

It was originally red. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to prevent the prince from falsely passing orders to mobilize troops and generals, he added yellow embroidery on the base to show the difference.

Since festivals are tokens, if there are festivals, they show weight, and if there are no festivals, the power is light. Therefore, people in the Han Dynasty attached great importance to festivals.

After Liu Han finished speaking, he secretly held his hand on the hilt of the sword and observed Ren An carefully. He was in his 50s, had white hair, and had a Chinese character face.

He had met Ren An before, but Liu Han had been living in seclusion these years, but the two had little friendship. Ren An was considered an extraordinary figure, very inspiring, and could be regarded as a representative of the counterattack of the little people.

When Ren An was young, he was very poor, his family was in poor condition, and he came from a lower class background.

Since things were not going well in my hometown and I was hungry and full, I drove people to Chang'an.

This is probably equivalent to a person in later generations who can no longer survive in his hometown, and then skips the fare and takes the train to wander in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

He originally wanted to stay and become a minor official, but there was no chance. Not everyone in Chang'an could stay.

He did not give up, he was also clever, and he knew how to estimate the household registration situation and population in some places.

He really found an opportunity, that is Wugong County, which is a small county to the west of Fufeng. There is a plank road leading to Shu at the entrance of the valley and against the mountain.

Ren An believed that Wugong was a small county with no wealthy families and it would be easy to improve his status, so he stayed and became the father of Qiu Pi Pavilion instead of others, and later became the pavilion chief.

He is a good man, fair, loved by others, has made meritorious deeds, and then became one of the three elders in the local area, which can be regarded as a small achievement.

In the Han Dynasty, administrative agencies from townships, counties to prefectures had officials who were specifically responsible for education. These were the "three elders".

"Book of the Later Han·Hundred Officials" "The three elders are in charge of education and guidance. Anyone who has a filial son and obedient grandson, a chaste woman and a righteous wife, who gives money to save people, and a scholar who serves the people as a model will all show their respects to promote good deeds."

The three elders are appointed by local people with high morals and respect who "have spiritual practice and can lead people to do good".

Probably a bit similar to the county education director in later generations.

In fact, even in later generations, many people have reached this level, which is already very good. Even if they return to their hometown, they can go sideways.

If you go further, it will be very difficult. If there is no one in the court, it is generally impossible to rise.

When you come out to hang out, you have to talk about power and background. Without the appreciation of noble people, it is useless to have good energy and ability.

Unfortunately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went on a tour and passed by where Ren An was. As a result, Ren An forgot to prepare something and was immediately dismissed.

He didn't even have a chance to explain, let alone see Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

There are people in the court who like to be officials. This has not changed for thousands of years. At most, the form has changed slightly.

When there is no one in the court, Ren An will naturally end up like this, because he can be directly dismissed from his post for matters as big as sesame seeds and mung beans.

So later, Ren An figured it out and felt that he still had to find a big backer.

In this way, Ren An came to Beijing for the second time. This time he wanted not to find a job as an official first, but to find a powerful family in the capital as his backer.

At that time, the most popular powerful family in Chang'an City was naturally the Wei family.

At that time, Wei Zifu had already won the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Wei Qing was winning battles one after another. The Wei family was like a chicken and a dog ascending to the sky, and they were on the rise.

Therefore, Ren An chose the family of Wei Qing, the then general, and went to Wei Qing's mansion to raise horses for them.

A former third-level elder was very popular in the local area. To raise horses for others, the contrast seems a bit big. However, many people want to be a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, but they haven’t had the chance yet, let alone raising horses. Even if I go to have my shoes polished, people will squeeze my head out.

Later, as expected, the opportunity came. You don't have to wait for the opportunity, you have to fight for it. Of course, you must have the strength, otherwise you won't be able to keep it.

One time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that he was short of people, so he sent someone to Wei Qing's house and asked Wei Qing to send some people over.

Wei Qing immediately selected some servants who he thought were good and recommended them to the envoys sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, including Ren An and his good friend Tian Ren.

And then, after some tests by the envoy, both Ren An and Tian Ren passed the test smoothly.

After passing the customs, the two were brought directly to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made another personal assessment and felt that these two people were indeed okay. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Ren An to the Northern Army as a guardian of the Northern Army.

Tian Renze was sent to the northern border and was responsible for managing the corresponding work of farming on the edge of the Yellow River.

Immediately, Ren An relied on Wei Qing, and he was very capable. He first became a doctor, and then moved to the governor of Yizhou. He gradually became bigger and stronger, creating greater glory. Now he became the envoy and protector of the Northern Army. In later generations, he will basically be the governor of Yizhou. It's at the deputy state level.

From being a groom to becoming a military boss step by step, isn’t that considered inspirational?But compared to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, he was naturally far behind.

But even so, his height is still looked up to by future generations. A grassroots person with no background, let alone the deputy state level, who can reach the level of a county magistrate is just smoking in his ancestral grave.

Of course, what really made him famous was his good friend Sima Qian. He wrote a reply to "Report to Ren An", which was a reply to him, Ren An. It was written in November 93 BC. Sima Qian was 11 years old at the time.

This letter has also greatly touched and moved the hearts of people thousands of years later, and many young people have received infinite strength and inspiration from it.

The writing is heroic and upright, the emotions are tortuous, and the mood is tragic. The helplessness, sorrow, anger and pain in it are unbearable to read.

It has clear clues, rigorous levels, consistent beginning and end, and perfectly combines feelings and opinions. It is truly a wonderful article that is as powerful as the rainbow and filled with heaven and earth.

As long as there is no one who has received nine years of compulsory education, there is no one who has not read it. The famous saying "All men are destined to die, may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather" comes from this.

　Excerpts from "Report to Ren An": "Bo Ye, the uncle of Xi, was imprisoned in Lingli; Li Si, the prime minister, was sentenced to five punishments; the king of Huaiyin was punished by Chen; Peng Yue and Zhang Ao were called orphans in the south and were imprisoned to pay for their crimes; Jianghou executed Zhu Lu, devoting power to his five uncles, and imprisoned him in the invitation room; Wei Qi, a general, was dressed in ocher clothes, Guan Sanmu; Jibu was a slave of the Zhu family; Guanfu was humiliated in the room. All these people were in the princes and generals Xiang, I have heard that neighboring countries have committed extremely serious crimes and cannot be led to commit suicide in the dust. The past and the present are one, and they are not humiliated? From this point of view, courage and timidity are the power; strength and weakness are the shape. The trial is over, why is it so strange? The lady couldn't have cut off the rope and ink earlier, because it was a little late. As for the whip, she wanted to lead the knot, which is not the case! The reason why the ancients imposed heavy punishment on the doctor was probably for this reason …

　　The ancients were rich and famous but could not be remembered. Only those who were suave and suave could be called them.King Gaiwen was detained and performed the "Book of Changes"; Zhongnieu composed "Spring and Autumn"; Qu Yuan was exiled and wrote "Li Sao"; Zuoqiu was blind, and he wrote "Guoyu"; Sun Tzu Binjiao revised the "Art of War"; Bu Wei Qian Shu, "Lu Lan", a historical biography; Han Fei, who was imprisoned in Qin, "Speaking of Difficulties" and "Lonely Anger"; three hundred poems in "Poetry" are the works of the great sages out of anger. "
