Chapter 149 When middle-aged people have no choice but to do so! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also wanted to pick up wolfberry
Weiyang Central Palace, inside Jiaofang Hall.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came here for a rare occasion and had a casual chat with Prince Liu Ju's biological mother, the current Empress Wei, without any incident.
main reason.
At this time, Queen Wei Zifu was already showing signs of age and decline.
The new favorite concubine, Mrs. Li, is graceful, young and beautiful, and has already drained Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's inventory. You know, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was nearly forty years old at this time, how could he have the energy to squander it seven times a night?
Woolen cloth!
at this time.
A eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, outside the palace gate, the great farmer ordered Sang Hongyang to ask for an audience!"
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he stood up calmly and said, "I order him to enter the main hall!"
"promise!"
When the eunuch heard this, he immediately went to report the news to Sang Hongyang, the great farmer who was waiting outside the palace gate.
When Queen Wei Zifu saw this, he said rather dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty has just come, are you going to leave in a hurry?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty patted Queen Wei Zifu's hand and said: "The state is busy with affairs. As the Queen, you should be considerate of me."
Finished.
The Han emperor, who more than doubled the actual territory controlled by the Western Han Dynasty, left the Jiaofang Palace as if fleeing.
Since His Majesty left.
In the Jiaofang Hall.
Only Wei Zifu, the queen who once doted on him the most, was left. He looked resentfully in the direction where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was leaving. He sighed to himself and said softly: "Although I am the queen, who in the world will understand me?"
Empress Wei's lamentations were unlikely to be heard by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had already left Jiaofang Palace.
When he finished changing his clothes and came to the main hall.
The great farmer ordered Sang Hongyang to have been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty coming, he saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Sang Hongyang, pays homage to your Majesty!"
"Okay, okay, you and I have known each other for more than 20 years, how can there be so much red tape." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand and asked directly: "Tell me, why are you so anxious to come to me?"
When Sang Hongyang heard this, he took out a letter directly from his sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, this is the letter Huo Yilang sent to me from Nan Daying. It tells some of his views on our cavalry and the
suggestion!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frowned slightly, looked at Sang Hongyang and asked: "Huo Yilang wrote a letter to ask you to give advice?"
Sang Hongyang replied: "Maybe it's because Huo Yilang is in the camp and can't get out and can't contact His Majesty, so he had to ask someone to bring the letter to me and let me report it to His Majesty!"
Hear this.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shook his head and said: "I ordered Wei Qing to prevent this brat from getting out. The purpose is to change his unscrupulous temper."
"I remember, this is the advice you once gave me!"
"What, you forgot?"
"What do you want to do if you bring a letter to this kid?"
Hear the words.
Sang Hongyang hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I didn't want to bring this letter to you at first, but Huo Yilang's letter contains suggestions for our cavalry. After improvement, the advantages are too great, which will help our army to fight against the Huns."
Cavalry charge!”
"So Your Majesty!"
"I cannot turn a blind eye and risk my own life to remonstrate!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was still a little angry at first, became interested immediately when he heard Sang Hongyang's words, and said: "Oh, Sang Hongyang can risk his own life to remonstrate one day? Haha, that is interesting, submit it
Come here, I want to see what suggestions this guy Huo Guang has!"
"I still don't believe it."
"He is a young boy who has only been in the military camp for a few days. He really has some good suggestions."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty certainly didn’t believe that Huo Guang could have any good suggestions!
Although he never took the initiative to fight with the Huns cavalry on the battlefield, when he was young, he loved riding horses and hunting in Shanglin Garden!
His horse riding skills are not much inferior to Wei Qing's. But when it comes to reforming the cavalry? I really don't know where to start!
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was the only one who knew how to operate.
It was to let the imperial court take the initiative to introduce the bloodlines of horses from other countries, even the bloodlines of Huns war horses, to improve the weakness of the horses of the Han Dynasty!
Not to mention Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
In the Han Dynasty army, there was also General Wei Qing, and even Huo Guang's brother, General Hussar. Which one was not an expert in horseback fighting?
These two people.
It's just that the cavalry has been outdone, and I don't think they have made any suggestions on changing the cavalry.
Huo Guang only went to the military camp for two or three days.
Can you think of any good advice for the Han cavalry?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn’t believe it anyway!
In fact, it is normal for Liu Che not to believe it.
Because even General Wei Qing didn't believe Huo Guang's words after seeing it, let alone other people who didn't understand horses!
Sang Hongyang subconsciously wanted to go to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and hand the letter to His Majesty, but suddenly he remembered that he was no longer the emperor's servant, so he said softly: "Your Majesty, I can personally deliver this letter to you.
Where?"
"Come on!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved and showed no wariness towards Sang Hongyang, who was once a servant. In the same way, Liu Che did the same to those around him.
Those who serve as servants.
Basically, entry and exit into the palace was casual and no summons was required. It was not until the assassination incident in his later years that things suddenly changed.
When Sang Hongyang saw that His Majesty agreed, he personally took the letter to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and handed it over.
"Your Majesty, please take a look. Here is Huo Yilang's letter asking the ministers to do something. This is his suggestion on the reform of the cavalry!" Sang Hongyang said to His Majesty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty skipped the piece of paper in front and looked directly at Huo Guang's suggestion from behind.
On a piece of writing paper.
There are pictures and text descriptions. The pictures are very clear and the text is also very clear.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frowned slightly and muttered along the handwriting on the paper: "The high bridge saddle can make the cavalry sit firmly on the horse and not fall off easily, giving them an advantage in fighting with the Huns!"
"The stirrups can cover the feet to fix the riding posture, thereby freeing up the hands, so that our Han cavalry can fight better with the Huns cavalry!"
"Horseshoes, okay."
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty read Huo Guang's explanation of the cavalry's three-piece suit, he frowned and thought for a while.
After a while.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty handed the letter to Sang Hongyang again without saying anything.
Sang Hongyang was very surprised by Liu Che's reaction, so he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what do you think of Huo Yilang's suggestions on the reform of cavalry harnesses?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che glanced at Sang Hongyang first, his brows were still furrowed, and he said calmly: "The cavalry harnesses that this guy Huo Guang came up with are quite novel. Even I have never heard of them!"
"The functions and confidence of these harnesses are also clearly introduced."
"But what I'm more doubtful about is..."
"This guy said that if our Han Dynasty equipped all the war horses in the army with these three-piece suits, we would be able to defeat the Huns' cavalry and win with a crushing attitude."
"snort."
"Is he treating me like a three-year-old?"
"How could a mere three pieces of horse equipment make the cavalry army so much stronger! He also defeated the Huns cavalry with a crushing posture. I think this kid has never been on the battlefield and doesn't know how ferocious the Huns are!"
Huns, these three words are synonymous with cruelty in the hearts of Han Dynasty people.
As early as the Zhao State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, then through the unified Qin Dynasty, and then to the Han Dynasty at this time, all were destroyed by the Huns.
Especially before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty officially started the war against the Xiongnu.
The Han Dynasty's fear of the Huns was beyond words. If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had not appeared, the Han Dynasty people would probably have to kneel down to survive when facing the Huns.
Why do you say kneeling down to survive?
Because you want to marry the princess and make peace, and because you can't defeat the Huns.
Only those who lose will take such measures.
During the reign of Emperor Wu, two great men, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, appeared!
Both of them were excellent generals in fighting the Huns, and they had never lost against the Huns. After the war was won, the Han Dynasty would naturally be tough and not afraid of the Huns.
pity.
In the later years of Emperor Wu, without such great generals as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, he would lose every battle against the Huns.
