He was timid in the face of the enemy and refused to fight, which greatly damaged morale. As a result, the five armies were defeated and the border people were attacked. His crime was so serious that he deserved death! Gu Niang spent all his wealth to save the border people for five years.  There are more than 10,000 households who can be exempted from serious crimes, so they are ordered to remove them from the post of Taiwei and seal off three thousand households to reflect on their mistakes." Censor Zhongcheng Zhang Tang put away the imperial silk letter and said: "Marquis Wu'an, please get up!  I warn you to be restrained. This time, the Queen Mother begged to give you a chance. If you do it again, you will not be spared." Tian Fu looked bitter as if his own mother had died, and his sister Wang Quan, who was living in the palace, came to save him.  After his death, he ordered Tian Fu's wife and best friend to dispose of the property of the Marquis of Wu'an and rescue the border residents who fled from the border counties to the inner counties. That was the real money Tian Fu had saved in recent years, and it was not what he used to do when he was poor.  After saving a small treasury of three to five hundred gold, the Hou family of Wu'an purchased more than 4,000 hectares of fertile land in Qinghe County, lower reaches of the Yellow River, occupying almost all the cultivated land in the county. The county magistrate was equivalent to working for the Tian Fu family.  In addition, Tian Fu also actively imitated the Dou family, which was very prosperous at that time, and got involved in the loan sharking industry to make money crazily. The loan sharking industry in Chang'an City was suppressed by the money exchange shop and lost most of its market share. However, the interest rate in the market is still around 10%, and there is no  The buying and selling interest rate for mortgage or urgent borrowing is still 20%. As long as the investment scale is large and the background is strong, it is still very profitable to recover the loaned account.  The smartest thing about Tian Fu is that his methods are concealed. He relied on his younger brother Zhou Yanghou Tian Sheng's identity as Jiuqing.  Ordinary people really don't dare to provoke Tian Fu. They can only bow their heads and submit when they encounter vicious debt collectors who even coax and intimidate him.  The borrowers who were due obediently handed over their debts and ran away in panic.  In addition, he also avoided Chang'an City, the capital city with strict supervision and mature business model, and set his sights on Luoyang City, the second largest city in the Han Empire.  Relying on the inside information obtained from the imperial court, he hoarded and resold in-demand goods to make huge profits, amassing an astronomical figure of more than 18 billion in just three years.  Tian Fu invested a huge amount of money in Luoyang City, almost buying up all the good shops in the east and west cities of Luoyang City. He earned an annual income of 600 million yuan just by collecting the rent of the shops, including his own business.  The iron, textile, printing and dyeing, papermaking, printing and other industries earn no less than 1.2 billion yuan in revenue from business every year. You must know that the Han Empire deducted the new business tax and did not count the majority. The previous poll tax, gengfu, and custard tax were not counted.  The total amount is only 4 billion yuan. In recent years, food production has increased significantly and tax collection has increased. The full calculation is only 6 billion yuan.  ¡°There are more and more people like Tian Fu¡¯s family becoming rich suddenly.  But there are really few who can compare with Tian Fu. In the past, Nanpi Marquis Dou Pengzu and Zhangwu Marquis Dou Wan of the Dou family were able to show their level. Now the Dou family has put away its tail and deposited all the wealth in the money exchange shop.  Interested, pretending to be lying in Chang'an City pretending to be dead, Tian Fu became the most powerful man.  Tian Fu's face was ashen and he kept complaining: "After all the family wealth has been spent, will my shop still be there? Will my fields still be there?" Zhang Tang frowned, turned sideways in disgust and said impatiently: "Marquis Wu'an cut off three  Thousands of households, there are still 6,400 to be sealed, and the 8 billion copper coins in your home and the 3 billion worth of gold and silver coins are all used to treat the sick and injured, and to fund the post-disaster reconstruction of the people in the border counties, if you feel that  This money should not be used in a certain place. You can file a complaint with the Prime Minister's Mansion. If the Prime Minister does not accept the complaint, you can also go to the Imperial Censor. The Emperor will personally investigate through the Imperial Censor. Please hand over the official document of the Taiwei's seal and tiger talisman.  You can leave." Tian Fu was almost driven out of the temporary camp in Yanmen County.  Before leaving, ten thousand soldiers of the Northern Army spat at him. If it weren't for their concern that he had lost his official status, he would still have the appearance of a noble prince.  Rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, leaves, and even dirt and garbage eggs have long been smashed.  "An old dog brings trouble to the people, and we are so unlucky when we encounter an old dog!" "Nai Gong (your father) regrets that he should have given birth to a flat-haired beast and brought trouble to the people of the Han family!" The children of Guanzhong in the Northern Army were very scolding.  fierce.  Tian Fu used his long sleeves to cover his face and urged the groom to leave quickly. However, this groom was a wilted man and his temper was slow and leisurely. Tian Fu almost grabbed his head and knelt on the ground to beg him to leave quickly.  Tian Fu suffered a big loss and brought 10,000 cavalry back to Yanmen County unharmed. On the contrary, Gongsun He, who was defeated in battle, and Wang Xin, who was completely wiped out and only a few guards escorted him to escape, escaped the punishment.  As a result, Gongsun He's general Qingchao was dismissed from his post and demoted to Yezhe Pushe, who was ranked higher than Qianshi. Lieutenant Wang Xin was also dismissed as lieutenant. Wang Hui, the middle doctor, replaced him as lieutenant.  Among the four routed troops, Gongsun Ao had no merit and had no fault. He lost four thousand people and escaped death, but was able to retain the two thousand dan treatment as a senior official. The other three were Tian Fu, who was cut off from three thousand households, and was exempted from the post of Taiwei for the time being.  After being hired, Wang Xin was dismissed as lieutenant and thought about his past behind closed doors.?Gongsun He was dismissed from the post of General Qingchao and demoted to the rank of Servant She thought about his faults.  "Compared to these four unlucky guys, Wei Qing's contribution is the greatest.  Just two days before Tian Fu was to be punished, Wei Qing fled back to Shuofang County with 7,800 exhausted Northern Army cavalry. Fifty miles behind him, 10,000 cavalrymen from Zuo Guli King Yizhixie were pursuing him.  From the Gobi desert in the heart of the steppe desert, the two sides turned west and south and detoured for more than a thousand miles across the defense zones of King Zuoxian and King Youxian. Several brief battles relied on the Han army to abandon some of the trophies and let Zuo Guli  The king's cavalry temporarily slowed down their pursuit and fought for the spoils before they could escape.  Wei Qing¡¯s ability to escape death was due to luck.  First of all, I would like to thank Yizhixie, King of Zuoguli, who suddenly left with his main force of 20,000 cavalry. According to rumors from the Huns nomads caught along the way, the military minister Shanyu intended to take advantage of the failure of the Han army's five-way Northern Expedition to invade south to avenge his humiliation.  King Yizhixie of Zuoguli turned around and went south with his 20,000 main force to join the main force of the military minister Shanyu. It was probably his wishful thinking to capture Wei Qing's troops in one fell swoop, and the main force followed Shanyu's headquarters to plunder the border counties.  King Zuo Guli's cavalry was very powerful, but without King Zuo Guli's personal supervision, the military discipline was a bit lax. When they encountered the spoils abandoned by the Han army, they immediately disrupted their formations and snatched them noisily. Otherwise, Wei Qing's troops would be enslaved with more than 3,000 soldiers.  It was impossible for the Han people to escape. The captured Han slaves were not good at equestrian skills and had no chance to receive professional riding training. Their thighs and buttocks would bleed after being jolted on horseback for a long time.  The Han army could not give up on its compatriots. Each man was equipped with three horses and could travel a hundred miles a day. This speed was acceptable during non-war times. The average tribe migrated only about 50 miles a day and could travel 100 miles.  We must move forward quickly. The distance traveled by one person and one horse in a day is only 100 miles, but it is different for one person and three horses. Logically, it should be 200 to 300 miles.  A war horse with sufficient physical strength can travel 40 miles in half an hour at a moderate speed, and 60 miles in half an hour at a faster pace. With the special terrain interference of mountains and hills, it can travel at least sixty or seventy miles in one hour on the grassland.  This is a normal mileage. Although the horsepower will continue to decrease in the next few hours, the horse can still travel 200 miles by rotating the horse forward, and the physical energy consumption of each horse can be maintained within the acceptable range.  However, the speed of the rescued Han compatriots who did not know how to equestrian could not be increased. Fortunately, King Yizhixie of Zuoguli did not personally command in front of the formation, otherwise the 7,800 exhausted Northern Army knights under Wei Qing would have perished in the grassland sooner or later.  , this is a once-in-a-lifetime lucky opportunity.  Another good thing is that the Xiongnu tribes along the way also briefly pursued them, but the black-armored cavalry, who were frightened by the hidden dangers, did not dare to pursue them too deeply. Without unified command, there was no communication between the two sides.  King Guli's cavalry was in pursuit. They chased for more than ten miles to test the Han army and then retreated. Only then did Wei Qing's troops fool him.  Perhaps because of the favor of the God of Luck, Wei Qing fled to Shuofang County with most of his main force and more than 3,000 rescued Han compatriots. Upon entering Shuofang County, he was immediately supported by the county soldiers. King Zuogu Li's 10,000 cavalry were far away.  They stood at the foot of the northern mountain of Yin Mountain and watched for a long time. Finally, they gave up their plan to pursue deep into Shuofang County and turned around to leave in the northeast direction.  Wei Qing and his exhausted soldiers were stationed in Shuofang County for a whole month. Hiding in the desert in the hinterland of the Xiongnu for more than half a month caused serious injuries to many people. The lack of water in the desert required the cavalry to risk their lives to go to the oasis on the edge of the desert.  To collect domestic water, you also need to deal with wolves that roam between the grasslands and deserts, various raptors, jackals, and foxes that eat scavengers, and venomous snakes and scorpions in the desert.  The Northern Army knights who were accustomed to a warm and humid life were not accustomed to the dry and arid climate of the Gobi desert. In just half a month, more than 2,000 people suffered from very severe acclimatization syndrome, including vomiting, diarrhea, colds, fever, and even terrible plagues.  Those who are discovered and treated in time should be rescued as much as possible to ensure the safety of most soldiers.  The main reason why only more than 7,800 of the 10,000 cavalry led by Wei Qing returned was because 70% of the 2,000 cavalry who were not accustomed to the acclimatization died of illness, and the remaining 800 or so were injured and died in the battle as a result of normal attrition.  Some of the soldiers who were not sick were not unharmed. Almost everyone suffered from more or less injuries. Some of them fell seriously ill and were bedridden after returning to Shuofang County.  Even the cavalry commander Wei Qing himself fell ill. Wei Qing had always been strong and immune to all diseases and was well known in Pingyang Houfu. It took him six days to recover from his illness, and it took him half a month to recover from the illness.  I found that I lost almost 10 pounds.  "Congratulations, General Wei! The five-pronged attack on the Xiongnu has made great achievements for you. Your Majesty is very happy to hear that the general has returned victorious. I have specially ordered you to read the imperial edict to you. You will soon be a prince!" Zhuangzhu couldn't close his eyes with joy!  Mouth, as if he was the one receiving the award.  Wei Qing leaned over to listen to Hou Zhao's order, and the emperor spokeThe reward given by the emperor was indeed extraordinary. The first reward he gave was to confer the title of Marquis of Changping to 3,800 households.  (A great pie-in-the-sky event, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
