Qin Xiao's expression suddenly changed, and Han Yunong was also stunned.
Qin Xiao had naturally heard of Pei Xiaogong's name, and anyone with a little knowledge of the Tang Dynasty would know about the Pei family.
Because compared to General Heiyu, General Pei Xiaogong not only has a higher status, but also has a better reputation.
The Tang Dynasty was founded more than 200 years ago. After the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu built the Lingxiao Pavilion in the palace in order to commemorate and commend the civil and military heroes who followed him to bring peace to the world.
Inside, there are portraits of these sixteen civil and military heroes.
These sixteen heroes were called the Sixteen Divine Generals by Emperor Taizu, and they jokingly said they were stars who came down from the nine heavens to help him achieve his great achievements.
It's just that the founding of the Tang Dynasty was a blood-stained battle robe, and it was extremely difficult. Among the sixteen generals, half had passed away before the construction of Lingxiao Pavilion. Among the remaining half, their descendants were also involved in disputes between right and wrong, or were deposed or
was executed.
Lingxiao Pavilion Later, during the reign of emperors, the civil and military ministers of the dynasty who had made extraordinary achievements would also be drawn into Lingxiao Pavilion. However, in order to enter Lingxiao Pavilion, if they had not made extraordinary achievements, they would never be qualified to enter. Therefore, although civil servants and military generals were gradually invited to Lingxiao Pavilion,
There are very few civil servants and generals who entered the cabinet, and the reputation of the civil servants and generals who later joined the cabinet is far from being comparable to the reputation of the Sixteen Divine Generals. Therefore, although there are dozens of civil servants and generals in Lingxiao Pavilion today, when people mention Lingxiao Pavilion, they can only
Thinking of the Sixteen Divine Generals.
The Tang Dynasty lasted for more than two hundred years. Among the descendants of the sixteen generals, only Pei Xiaogong, the direct descendant of Duke Yu, is still known to the world and is famous.
The Pei family is also the only martial arts family that has remained standing in the court since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
The ancestors of the Pei family who entered the cabinet were given the title of Duke of Yu, which was hereditary. However, except for the first and second generation of Dukes of Yu, the descendants of the subsequent generations were all mediocre talents. They were all just enjoying the glory and wealth under the influence of their ancestors.
, but there is no unique talent.
Even in Pei Xiaogong's father's generation, although he inherited the title of Duke Yu, he only had the title of General Xuanwei in the army, had no real power in his hands, and had never made any notable military exploits.
During the Dezong dynasty, the empire had a vast territory and did not use many external troops. Pei Xiaogong followed his father in the army and did not show off his strength, and did not have many opportunities to make meritorious deeds.
Until today, when the sage ascended the throne, the world was in chaos. Three states and seven counties raised troops. The sage appointed Tai Shihong as the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, leading the troops to put down the rebellion.
The main force of the rebels was naturally Murong Changdu in the south. Tai Shihong led his troops south to resist the sharpness of Murong's army. The court dispatched troops and generals, but the prime minister recommended General Xuanwei, who had no real power, to lead the troops to quell the Qingzhou rebellion.
There was an uproar in the court.
The Prime Minister has always been on good terms with the Pei family, and many people only think that the Prime Minister is a nepotist. General Xuan Wei is mediocre, and everyone feels that General Xuan Wei is not worthy of a big job.
In fact, this is indeed the case. General Xuanwei led the troops to pacify the Qingzhou Army. They lost consecutive battles and the court almost had to send out new generals. However, the situation suddenly changed. When General Xuanwei was recovering from his injuries after being wounded by an arrow on the battlefield, his son
Pei Xiaogong immediately took charge of the military power for his father. After Pei Xiaogong took power, the Tang army fought successively and defeated the Qingzhou army and retreated step by step.
In the decisive battle, Pei Xiaogong deployed two groups of surprise troops. General Xuanwei led the troops to confront the Qingzhou Army. Pei Xiaogong ordered a group of surprise troops to directly attack the Qingzhou Army's granary. A fire cut off the Qingzhou Army's logistics. He led the
Another group of troops ambushed the reinforcements led by the Qingzhou governor himself, and not only defeated the Qingzhou army in one battle, but also captured the Qingzhou governor alive.
When the Tang army pacified Qingzhou, Pei Xiaogong took the greatest credit, and people could see the heroic appearance of the Pei family ancestors in him.
Later, Pei Xiaogong reported to the Tang army to support the encirclement and suppression of the Yunzhou rebels, and finally pacified Yunzhou.
In the biggest anti-rebellion war after the saint ascended the throne, Pei Xiaogong directly pacified Qingzhou and collaborated to annihilate the Yunzhou rebels. He became famous for a time. In addition to the old general Taishi, Pei Xiaogong and the black cavalry general who forced back Wutuo's 100,000 cavalry were known as
Wings for the empire.
After that, in order to deal with the southern Xinjiang, the empire deployed tens of thousands of troops in the south from Yizhou to the east to Kuaiji. Pei Xiaogong was personally responsible for the deployment of troops and horses in the south. The imperial court decreed that Pei Xiaogong be granted the title of General of the State, which was for the empire.
General, in charge of military affairs in the south.
When Qin Xiao was in Xiling, he naturally had great respect for General Heiyu's reputation, but he also heard people mention the great general Pei Xiaogong.
Pei Xiaogong has been in charge of the South since he was in his early thirties. He has been stable for more than ten years, but now he is not even fifty years old.
Qin Xiao was naturally shocked when he heard that the Ministry of War wanted to transfer Han Yunong to the south, and Han Yunong obviously did not expect Dou Wei to have such an arrangement.
"I know that you are doubtful, so why don't you go to the north?" Dou Fan sighed: "Actually, this is also for the sake of the overall situation. General Heiyu was killed in Xiling. This matter is already known to the whole world, and the border troops in the four northern towns know it.
Naturally, they are very angry about this matter, especially the Woye border troops. They are all General Black Feather's former subordinates. Knowing this matter, they want to go out and kill the enemy immediately."
"Sir, it's natural to go out to quell the rebellion." Han Yunong straightened his body.
Dou Fan smiled and said: "Of course I know. In fact, the imperial court has also begun to deploy troops to quell the rebellion. However, we have also received military reports. Fan Ziqi's rebellion was premeditated and fully prepared. After they took control of Xiling,
In this short period of time, we recruited troops and strengthened the city defenses. This was to prepare us for the imperial encirclement and suppression. In addition, we also received reports that Xiling was very likely to collude with the Utopia Khanate. Once the imperial court left the border, Utuo Khanate would be destroyed.
The Khanate will naturally send troops to reinforce Xiling."
Han Yunong's expression was serious, his lips moved slightly, but he stopped talking.
"The matter of swords and soldiers is extraordinary. If you don't deploy it properly, you shouldn't use it lightly." Dou Fan sighed: "The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, but food and grass go first. If we really want to break through, it will not be pacified in three to five months."
rebellion, so of course the imperial court must prepare sufficient money, food and horses. Zhongshu Sheng means that no one should act rashly before making complete preparations. The imperial court plans the overall situation, but the soldiers of the border army may not be able to understand the imperial court's painstaking efforts. For this reason
The sage also specially sent people to the north to inform Taishi Cunxu, the general in charge of Zhenbei, and ordered him to appease the morale of the army and not to cause trouble."
Han Yunong finally said: "I understand your thoughts. I am a Night Crow under the general's command. He was in Xiling when the incident happened. If I return to Woyebian Town at this time, and the officers and soldiers of Woye Army see me, they will naturally be even more worried.
I am eager to avenge the general. In addition, I am also a member of the Changsheng Army. The three thousand Changsheng Army followed the general back from Xiling to the pass. Now that the general has been killed, they are in a rage. If I show up, they will probably do something they shouldn't do out of impulse.
Things to come.”
"If you can understand my painstaking efforts, I will feel relieved." Dou Fan raised his hand to stroke his beard and said with a smile: "So I am temporarily asking you to go to Guiyang, and I have written a letter of introduction to you.
"He took a letter from the file and handed it over: "This is a letter written to General Pei in the name of the Ministry of War. It details your situation. General Pei is in Guiyang now. When you arrive there,
Bian, after General Pei reads the letter, he will naturally arrange for you properly. Yunong, I know you really want to return to Woyebian Town, but don’t rush this matter. You will serve under General Pei first. When the time is right, I will
I’ll transfer you back to Woyebian Town.”
"Your Majesty said the time is ripe, I wonder when it will be?" Han Yunong is very familiar with these routines. If he doesn't ask clearly, no one in the Ministry of War will mention the matter of letting him go back to the north in the future. Maybe Dou Wei will mention it in a few days.
This makes things forget.
Although Han Yunong was once a black-feathered nightcrow, the black-feathered nightcrow was only a guard beside General Blackfeather. After Han Yunong left Woye Town, in the files of the Ministry of Personnel, he was only a small captain of the captaincy. According to the
The rank is only a seventh-grade official position.
In the eyes of the adults in Kyoto, a seventh-grade local official is no different than an ant on the ground.
Han Yunong knew that Dou Fan had given him some face today and called him over. Otherwise, as a soldier of the empire, he could only obey military orders and go if he didn't want to go.
But his biggest wish is that one day he can fight back to Xiling with the Changsheng Army to avenge the general.
Now that he has been transferred to Pei Xiaogong's command, if the Ministry of War ignores him from now on, then he will probably have to stay in the south. Even if the Changsheng Army really has a chance to break out of the pass in the future, he is in the southern army and will not be able to do anything.
Unable to leave customs with the army.
And Dou Fan sent himself away today, and it was almost certain that he would no longer think about his own affairs.
Although he knew that it was quite rude to ask Shangguan directly like this, he had to ask. As long as Dou Wei could really give a time today, he was willing to wait and wait for one day to return to the Immortal Army.
Dou Wei was obviously unhappy with Han Yunong's direct inquiry, but he still smiled lightly and said: "I can't give you an accurate answer on this matter, let alone a definite time. When the time is right, at least you have to wait until the imperial court orders you to leave seclusion.
To quell the rebellion, but it is not up to me to decide when to quell the rebellion. You should tidy up first. Someone from the Ministry of War happens to be going to Guiyang, so you will set off together tomorrow." Han Yunong seemed to want to say something else.
, suddenly raised his voice and said coldly: "Who is on duty today? Why hasn't tea been served?"
Soon, someone brought tea, but they only gave Dou Fan a cup of tea. Dou Fan obviously had no intention of serving Qin Xiao and Qin Xiao. He picked up the tea cup and stirred up the tea foam with the tea lid.
He raised his eyelids and asked calmly: "Is there anything else? If nothing else, you can leave first."
Han Yunong looked solemn and raised his hands. Qin Xiao saw that he was leaving and was about to leave with him, but Dou Fu had already called out: "Qin Xiao, wait a moment."
"What orders do you have, sir?" Qin Xiao was displeased with the way Dou Fu was showing off his official power, and asked calmly: "I also want to tidy up, and I will take action with Captain Han tomorrow."
"Who said you were leaving with him?" Dou Fan put down his teacup and said calmly: "Han Yunong went to serve under General Pei. I didn't say you were going to go to General Pei too."
