Their presence has tarnished the banner of the Han army. I am ashamed to be associated with them." At a banquet meeting with the imperial envoy Zhuang Zhu, Cao Shi made the above statement straightforwardly.  Zhuangzhu was in a dilemma. As long as he was not blind, he would have known that General Chaoqiu was angry. In dealing with General Chaoqiu's arrangements, the court was not acting in an honest manner, and the emperor was even less acting in an honest manner.  The important ministers of the imperial court, who presided over the battle of Yanmen and the Han army flags of Yinshan, were easily sent by the emperor to the border counties to garrison in preparation for the Huns. The court's handling of major affairs was as ridiculous as child's play.  The emperor was blatantly bullying, so why did the Chariot and Cavalry Generals give face to the court? Therefore, Zhuangzhu was in a very difficult situation. As the emperor, he sent an envoy to ask about the solution to the Northern Expedition. Unfortunately, the Chariots and Cavalry Generals did not give a clear answer and remained embarrassed throughout the process.  The banquet ended in silence.  Cao Shi personally sent Zhuang Zhu back to the post house, and specifically asked the court envoys to pay attention to safety and travel as little as possible. The reason was that the Xiongnu Youxian King's troops had unusual movements in Hexi.  If it were another envoy, he might have scolded the general of chariots and cavalry for his alarmist remarks, and said with righteous words that the Han envoys should serve their country with all their hearts. However, last year Longxi County was ravaged by King Youxian's tribe, and he happened to catch up with the five tribes to attack the Xiongnu.  A disastrous defeat, any person with a normal IQ would be worried if he went to the border county adjacent to the Huns.  Moreover, the current envoy of the imperial court, Zhuang Zhu, was a mysophobic and hated the desolation and dilapidation of Longxi County. When he heard that there were military changes in King Youxian's army, he was frightened and expressed his determination not to go out.  The dilapidated walls of Didao City have just been repaired, and King Youxian's iron hoof will surely start a protracted war in Longxi again.  Zhuangzhu wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly back to Chang'an immediately.  "Did you notice that Zhuangzhu tried his best to hint that the general would take the initiative to shoulder the heavy burden of the Northern Expedition? He really did it well for the sake of the emperor's team members! What a pity, who do you think we are?" Zhou Zuoche said attentively while holding a sharp dagger.  Chen He sneered: "The general once made an analogy. One day there was a fire in Didao City. The fire brigade went to the east of the city to put out the fire, then to the west of the city to put out the fire, and then to the north of the city to put out the fire. We are the ones everywhere.  The firefighters who put out the fire have a lot to eat and enjoy. When in danger, let us put out the fire. "Sit in Chang'an and guide the country, and be on the front line to fight the fire." Guan Qiang gritted his teeth. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the way, the emperor remembered that the Han family also had a general who was thrown to the border, and regarded them as brainless firefighters, who were very, very brainless.  The older the emperor gets, the more suspicious he becomes of his former mentors and friends. A smart emperor cannot allow an all-round talent to appear around him, even if this person is loyal to him.  At that time, Tiaohou Zhou Yafu was a loyal minister of humerus, and Jianghou Zhou Bo was also a loyal and courageous minister who was not good at words, but the emperor felt that you were not that bad.  The more you show off, the more suspicious you become, making the emperor feel that you are deliberately showing off to the emperor. It is true that the more you do, the more mistakes you make.  What does the emperor want?  ¡°Probably because he doesn¡¯t want Cao Shi, the cavalry general, to do anything. It would be best for him to be self-aware and stay in Longxi County for ten to eight years.  Until the people of the Han family completely forget the heroes of the past, at that time, the emperor will once again show his demeanor as a wise king who never forgets his old ministers.  If the emperor feels that he has treated Cao Shi badly, call this former mentor and friend back to him as a mascot.  The worst thing is to make some compensation to Xiao Cao Xiang. This is not a trivial matter with the emperor's words.  Cao Shi sighed.  His life had just begun and was about to end. He once had ambitions to save the Han family from the fire, but he didn't want to face the risk of dying midway if the plan was only half implemented. He felt deeply worthless for himself.  But who can he blame?  Emperor Liu Che's idea was not wrong. If he were the emperor of the Han Dynasty and faced a minister with extraordinary abilities and almost omnipotence, the emperor would inevitably be worried and desperately wanted to capture this talented and uncontrollable person. As a result, the emperor  The tighter the grip, the stronger Cao Shi's struggle becomes, and the two sides gradually move away from each other from the harmonious relationship between monarch and minister.  Cao Shi¡¯s mood was complicated, and the reaction of Yu Linqi¡¯s officers was also complicated.  Most of the officers still said nothing. The education everyone received since childhood was deeply rooted in their loyalty to the emperor. Even if they felt that what the emperor did was chilling, they would still choose to passively accept it. In the well-established Han Empire, every member of the Han Empire  They are all just a screw in this war machine called Big Han. It is unbelievable to be within the system and resist the huge system.  Maybe this machine will become corrupt in the future.? Gradually collapse and perish, and the system can take the opportunity to resist the opportunity to re-realize self-worth. However, with the current situation, there is no hope of the collapse of the system for the time being. Complaining, dissatisfaction, and grumbling are all normal emotions. Officers will not  A few words of dissatisfaction from his comrades gave him more reactions, but that was all.  Cao Shi glanced at Li Guang, the prefect of Longxi. This flying general had always had a bad temper. He was good at riding and shooting and had a better family background. He also had a bragging ability that was second to none in archery. He boasted about his stone-piercing archery skills.  There is nothing in the sky or on the earth, and there is still a tiger-shaped rock with arrows stuck in it in Shanggu County. It is said that he once drank too much and went on patrol. When he saw the hair on the white crouching tiger stone head, he used his unique skill to penetrate the rock.  Then he shot a rock.  At this moment, Li Guang squinted his eyes and dozed off, as if he had not heard any complaints or dissatisfaction. On the surface, this guy looked like a rough and tough man, but in fact he was very clear-minded. From the perspective of his origin, the Li family in Longxi has been entrenched here for three hundred years. The tree has deep roots and branches.  Mao is considered a local snake with extraordinary influence, but there is a stronger force in Longxi County, 23,000 Han cavalry wearing black armor.  Although there are only 23,000 people, the 100,000 Xiongnu army almost collapsed with just a few people. Cooperating with the brothers' troops to suppress the returning reinforcements, the main Xiongnu army pursued and fought fiercely. If it weren't for our own exhaustion, we would not be able to fight a larger army.  As a result of the battle, the military minister Shanyu might be left in Yanmen County together.  Li Guang personally inspected the intensive training of the Yulin Cavalry. Although during the inspection, he only saw the Yulin Cavalry pretending to be pretentious and did not show their true abilities.  But Li Guang is not comparable to the level of an ordinary cavalry commander. He only needs to undergo very ordinary basic training from Yulin Cavalry.  The relaxed and relaxed attitude he showed can lead to a terrifying conclusion. Li Guang has never encountered soldiers with such strong collective quality in thirty years of military training.  The Yulin Cavalry is not the strongest cavalry in individual combat capabilities.  But everyone's quality is very close to the strongest level, and the overall quality of Habayashi's cavalry officers is even more astonishingly high. It is no exaggeration to say that everyone is qualified to be a cavalry captain.  "Li Taishou, Li Taishou!" Li Guang raised his head and smiled sheepishly: "People always like to doze off. Where did you talk just now?" "I didn't say anything, I just wanted to remind Li Taishou that it was late.  "It's time to go home and rest early." "Oh, I just noticed that it's been so long! I'm going to leave now!" Li Guang stood up and said goodbye to the flying general.  Different.  There were relatively many indifferent onlookers, and Li Guang was still trying to figure out his qualifications for the marquises. His ancestor was neither a military meritorious nor a serious Chu native. Eight out of the ten officers present here were meritorious marquises, and they were upright.  Miao Hong's Chu people, different circles and systems, are not the same people after all.  Zhuan Xi sent Li Guang back and closed the door. Both the Eighth Colonel of the Northern Army Heavy Cavalry and the captains of the Yulin Cavalry all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.  Sending Li Guang away is a serious discussion.  Cao Shi glanced at it: "Where is Captain Sosu now?" "On a grassland somewhere in Hexi, probably near Yanzhi Mountain. It is said that Captain Zhao discovered the ancient road near Yanzhi Mountain, which should delay some time.  ." Zhao Junyu replied.  "Tell him not to worry. King Xiutu and King Hunxie are just meat on the plate. My target is the court of King Youxian in the north. I wiped out the north and south of Yinshan Mountain just to force King Youxian to take action. He won't touch me.  I'm going to attack King Xiutu step by step. If I don't move, I'll wait for the land in Hexi to be in my hands." "What if he makes a move?" "The only one King Youxian can conquer is Longxi.  Choose one of the three counties, Shuofang County and Beidi County. Assuming you were King Youxian, which one would you choose? " "After suffering a loss, Longxi County should be eliminated. The difficulty of the remaining two counties seems to be not much different.  I will choose Shuofang County to take action." Cao Shi smiled and praised: "You are right, that's why I have to wait for King Youxian to take the initiative. Regardless of whether I can capture Shuofang County, as long as King Youxian takes action, give me a chance.  Within the month, I will swallow up the troops of King Xiutu and King Hunxie, and give me another three months to sweep every inch of the Xiongnu¡¯s right territory. Do you understand?¡± Only then did the soldiers suddenly realize that the conflict between the two sides was not the matter.  The Han army, on the contrary, had the advantage of King Youxian of the Xiongnu. If the Battle of Yanmen was a severe blow to the military minister Shanyu and King Zuoxian, then the Battle of Yinshan was a fire at the city gate that affected King Youxian.  The war dividends plundered from Longxi County were not enough to make up for the losses in Yinshan.  The two major tribes of Aries King and Loufan King plus dozens of large and small Xiongnu tribes were captured. The Hetao Plain south of Yangshan Mountain in Yinshan was recaptured by the Han army.  It is not a big deal for Longxi County to grab some people to search for some grain, and to get some cattle and horses to steal some gold and silver. The Hetao Plain that the Han army took away cannot be exchanged for 100 million kilograms of gold.  Xiahou Po asked: "ButWe are subject to too many restrictions. His Majesty can remove us from our posts at any time, or even remove the general's command. What should we do if our plan fails halfway and someone picks the peach?  " Zhao Junyu remained silent, Zhou Zuoche responded silently, and the officers of the Yulin Cavalry were speechless. The emperor has the right to remove and appoint officers. Today you are a general, but tomorrow you will be nothing. The soldiers will no longer worship you.  He will rebel for you, and the world will change no matter who you are. How should the general who loses his power deal with himself? Cao Shi sighed: "So!  I have to work hard to make meritorious service. Without merit, I can't protect my homeland at all, and I can't protect the rewards gained by the military meritorious service by throwing his life and blood. It's hard to be a minister, but it's even harder to be a loyal minister and good general who has made a difference.  "(A great pie-in-the-sky event, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
