Chapter 374

Deploy troops and generals

As for the task of attacking Qiu Chi, Liu Yizhen overcame all objections and asked Xiao Chengzhi to lead his troops there.

You must avenge yourself, Xiao Chengzhi will understand this truth.

Finally, after discussion among several generals, the dispatch of the army was confirmed.

Wang Zhene led 20,000 imperial troops to Chencang to confront the main force of Hu Xia in Longyou.

Mao Xiuzhi led 10,000 troops to Qingzhou, joined forces with Fu Hongzhi, and put pressure on Tongwancheng, the capital of the Hu Xia Kingdom.

In addition, five thousand people were mobilized to enter Hanzhong from Chencang Road to meet with Xiao Chengzhi and attack Qiuchi.

The generals who led the army along the way made Liu Yizhen somewhat hesitant. Wang Maide, who had served as Minister of War, recommended a candidate to Liu Yizhen——

"Emperor Xiaozong is the Chief of the Central Military Commission, and he is also a member of the army. He is a native of Hanzhong County and is familiar with the local terrain. Why don't your Majesty let him lead the troops to Hanzhong!"

Protect it!

This person can be regarded as a direct descendant of Liu Yifu. He was appointed by Liu Yu early as Liu Yifu's chief historian and joined the army. It can be said that he has both civil and military skills.

Originally Tan Huzhi was supposed to have a bright future, but due to Liu Yifu's early death and Liu Yizhen's coming to power, he began to be suppressed intentionally or unintentionally, and became somewhat depressed.

Fortunately, Wang Maide noticed Tanhuzhi when he was the Minister of the Ministry of War and knew that this person was a talent. It happened that there was no one available at this time, so he recommended Tanhuzhi to Liu Yizhen.

"Okay, let's call Tanhu into the palace."

Tan Huzhi, who had been idle at home for many years, was suddenly summoned by the emperor. He was so anxious that he ran out without even having time to put on his shoes.

On the road, his wife hurriedly chased him out, holding a pair of shoes in her hand and kept shouting:

"child!"

"child!"

"..."

The people near Tanhuzhi saw a woman chasing after her, while Tanhuzhi was running in front. For some unspeakable reasons, they all thought that Tanhuzhi was a human trafficker who robbed children, and some people immediately acted bravely.

Put Tanhuzhi down to the ground.

After Tanhu's wife arrived, she quickly drove away the passers-by who were pressing on Tanhu.

"Sister-in-law, didn't this person steal your child? Why did you drive us away instead?"

Tan Huzhi's wife then raised the shoes in her hands and said, "It's not my child (shoes), it's his child (shoes) that's not wearing them!"

Only then did the passers-by realize that they had made a mistake, and blushed and confessed to the couple and left. As for Tan Huzhi, naturally he was dejected and was severely punished by his wife...

After Tan Huzhi arrived at the palace after going through many hardships, everyone in the Liangyi Palace unconsciously turned their heads...

ugly!

So ugly!

And it’s short!

He looks like a child trafficker...

Needless to say, Liu Yizhen is the person in Liangyi Palace today.

"With handsome appearance and elegant expression", he is a handsome guy certified by history books.

Xie Hui is not bad either, his face is as beautiful as a crown jade, and he has a pretty face. He also left behind the idiom "a pair of beauties"...

Wang Zhene and Zhu Lingshi are both eight-foot tall men, and their muscles and masculinity can greatly enhance their appearance and temperament.

Wang Xiu and Wang Maide can be regarded as average in appearance, but they are not criticized.

Gao Yun won't talk about it, he is a descendant of an aristocratic family.

In fact, in the face of the politics of aristocratic families like the Wei and Jin Dynasties, almost no one in the officialdom was ugly.

When people get rich, they usually marry beautiful women. After generations of transformation, you can imagine how beautiful they are.

When Liu Yizhen himself went to court, he looked at the hundreds of officials below and it was enough to say that it was a pleasure to watch.

And to protect it...

Like Liu Yizhen, his appearance was also recorded in history books——

"Short shape"...

The historian who cherishes words like gold can use four words to describe the appearance, whether beautiful or ugly, it is an earth-shattering state.

And not only is it crude, it’s also short...

If Liu Yizhen hadn't known that Liu Song was not Zhao Song, he would have suspected that Shi Naian created the image of "Wu Dalang" based on Tan Huzhi.

After being briefly shocked by Tan Huzhi's appearance, Liu Yizhen asked Tan Huzhi what he thought of marching from Chencang Road.

You wouldn't know if you didn't ask, but when you asked Liu Yizhen, you realized that you had underestimated Tan Huzhi.

Perhaps Tan Huzhi's external conditions are somewhat lacking, but from his conversation we can tell that this person's knowledge and strategy are definitely no worse than any top general!

Not only can he explain in detail every dangerous place when marching from Chencang Road, he also has detailed insights on how to attack Qiuchi——

"Your Majesty, Qiu Chi is located on the west side of Hanzhong. The terrain there is steep and it has the advantage of being at a commanding height. Our army must not attack this place by force."

"However, most of Qiuchi's territory is located on high mountains. As long as we send an army to the south to cut off the water source, we can naturally defeat the enemy without fighting."

"..."

Tan Huzhi also gave a lot of very practical suggestions, which made the monarchs and ministers present forget about Tan Huzhi's appearance and figure, but admired his wisdom and strategies.

Unlike the central officials, no one informed Tan Huzhi that he was going to attack Qiu Chi.

Even summoning Tan Huzhi was Wang Maide's impromptu decision, so Tan Huzhi definitely had no time to prepare.

Under such circumstances, Tan Huzhi was able to respond so quickly, which shows that Tan Huzhi is indeed a talent.

In fact, in the history books, the first comment in "The Biography of Tanhu" reads like this -

"The guard is unruly, informal, short and crude in shape, and its Qi is dry and powerful."

Appearance, to Tan Huzhi, is just his flaw, but it is definitely not his shortcoming.

A piece of gold covered with mud is still a piece of gold in the market!

"I just found out today that there is such a great talent!"

Liu Yizhen's sigh, which was 70% true and 30% false, made Tan Huzhi's eyes turn red, and the frustration and grievances of the past few years were instantly wiped away.

"If you are granted the title of General Zhenwu, you can lead five thousand soldiers and horses to Chencang, join forces with Xiao Chengzhi, and attack Qiuchi together!"

The leader among them is naturally Xiao Chengzhi.

But Tanhu was not dissatisfied.

He has been reactivated!

And attacking Qiu Chi will definitely lead to military exploits. The future military career will be smooth!

"The last general takes command!"

In order to compensate Tan Huzhi, Liu Yizhen also gave him a set of bows and arrows, which undoubtedly made Tan Huzhi's motivation burst instantly!

A few days later, Wang suppressed the evil, protected him, and Mao Xiuzhi led his troops and left Chang'an respectively. This made Tan Daoji, who had come all the way from Jingzhou, beat his chest and feet, and seemed a little uncomfortable.

"I feel sad that I have lost the merits of destroying the country again!"

Among the four generals in the Liu Song Dynasty, Wang Zhene was the vanguard to destroy the Later Qin Dynasty, Zhu Lingshi was the vanguard to destroy the country and Shu, and even Wang Zhongde, who is now in Jinyang, was in Liu Yu's battle to destroy Nanyan.

Served as a forward.

Only Tan Daoji has not accomplished the feat of destroying a country...

Compared with the increasingly powerful Hu Xia, Northern Wei, and Beiliang who occupy the Hexi Corridor, Qiu Chi is undoubtedly the best persimmon to be squeezed. Now it has been snatched away by Xiao Chengzhi and Tan Huzhi. No wonder Tan Daoji is so sad.

When Liu Yizhen found out, he was relieved and said: "How can you use a bull's knife to kill a chicken? General Tan will take good care of it. In the future, he will attack the Xiongnu severely and seize the prisoners. It will be natural for the general to use it."

When Tan Daoji heard this, he stared at Liu Yizhen with tears in his eyes: "Is your Majesty serious about what he said?"

"Natural and natural."

"Your Majesty, please don't lie to me!"

"Definitely."

"..."

"Don't worry, General Tan. I will definitely let you lead an army and destroy a country in the future."

"..."
