Liu Xie sat on the general's platform and saw this scene from afar.
He had no expression on his face.
It's not calm, but the face is frozen.
He always felt that the Central Plains dynasty was able to rub the grassland people on the ground during the Han and Tang dynasties, but after the Song dynasty, it was ravaged by the grassland people. The most fundamental reason was that the ruling stage was corrupt and the spirit of martial arts was lost. Civilization became weak, both civil and military.
The scholars of the Han and Tang dynasties became scholars of the Song and Ming dynasties who could only recite poems and essays, and the battle with real swords and guns also became verbal cannons in the court.
To change this trend, the ruler must set an example, especially the time traveler who is determined to reverse the trajectory of history.
Shangwu is easy to say, but difficult to do. Practicing in winter three or nine, and practicing in summer three or three is not enough to say it. Behind it is countless sweat and even blood and tears.
For example, standing on the platform to command the battle when the north wind blows is a arduous task. Even though he is wrapped in a thick winter coat, the cold wind still drills in like a needle, making his body feel cold.
The iron armor can even freeze a layer of skin.
How hard did those soldiers holding weapons and ready to fight with the Xianbei people?
"The general's horn bow cannot be controlled, and the guardian's iron clothes are hard to keep in his cold" is not only a heroic poem, but also a true portrayal.
Even so, he gritted his teeth and was unwilling to leave the platform.
If you take a step back, your previous efforts may be wasted. As long as he stands here, without saying a word, it will be more useful than countless bold words, and those who want to be shaken will not find a reason to retreat.
Seeing the Xianbei people retreating, Liu Xie nodded gently and waved his hand. "Give him a pot of wine to the Qiang Captain."
"Wei." Xun Yun, who was standing beside him, walked to the side of the General Platform and uttered an edict loudly.
He was almost frozen, his mouth was a little out of control, and his voice was a little deformed. After saying it twice, the Langguan below heard it clearly. Xiahou Chong picked up a pot of wine and ran towards the left-wing position.
"The Emperor gives wine" Xiahou Chong shouted loudly, his frozen body gradually became warm as he ran, and his originally stiff movements became gradually flexible. When he rushed into Ma Chao's position, he was already sweating all over and just wanted to take off.
The heavy winter clothes on his body run freely.
Ma Chao was depressed. When he saw Xiahou Chong running towards him, shouting "The Emperor gave him wine". He was overjoyed and quickly turned over and dismounted the horse and quickly sorted out the armor on his body.
"The emperor has issued an edict to give the Qiang Hunting a pot of wine." Xiahouchang said breathlessly.
"Men Chao, the captain of the Qiang Protector, thank Your Majesty for giving the wine." Ma Chao took the wine pot and gave a deep bow to the direction of the Jiangtai.
Xiahou Chong turned around and left, Ma Chao turned around and raised the wine pot high, and the affliction just now turned into clouds and smoke. He took a small sip of wine and then passed the wine pot to Pang De. "Pass it down! One sip for each person."
"Here." Pang De took the wine pot, took a small sip, and then handed it to the soldiers who had just joined him to fight.
A pot of wine is definitely not enough for everyone to drink, and most people can only touch the spout and wet their lips. But for them, this honor is far more valuable than a pot of wine.
At this moment, the humiliation of being "defeated" by the Xianbei people turned into pride for observing the orders.
Those who obey orders will be rewarded.
Han Sui, who was in the central army, stood high and saw this scene, unable to suppress his envy.
Unexpectedly, the emperor's first reward was stolen by Ma Chao.
This Xianbei person is really not good at it. Why didn’t he come to attack my position but attack Ma Chao’s position? When it comes to showing weakness, who can be better than me?
Han Sui was angry and watched the Xianbei people withdraw, and then summoned the generals to discuss matters and reiterated the purpose of the battle again.
The emperor wants to lure the enemy into the deep. You must grasp the rhythm at that time. You must not let the Xianbei people attack too hard, nor can you let the Xianbei people suffer too much and scare them away.
The victory or defeat of this battle is not the personal victory or defeat, but the victory or defeat of the Han Dynasty and the Xianbei people fighting for destiny. It is a key battle for the Liangzhou people to take advantage of the situation and become pillars of the court. Those who follow the order will be defeated.
Reward. Those who fail to follow the order will be punished even if they win. All actions must be carried out in accordance with the established plan without fail.
The generals agreed.
Han Sui arranged the affairs of the camp and rushed to the imperial tent to ask for the emperor.
Liu Xie returned to the big tent and baked it for a while before his body slowly warmed up.
When Liu Xie learned that Han Sui was invited to see him, he was not surprised at all and immediately ordered someone to report Han Sui to the account.
Han Sui entered the tent, stood at the door, bowed and bowed, with a respectful expression.
"Sit down." Liu Xie pointed to Hu Shui beside him. "Are you cold? General, you are wearing a little less clothes."
"I'm not cold." Han Sui pointed to his chest with a serious expression. "I have a fire in my heart, as if I'm back to a young man."
Liu Xie couldn't help laughing, but sighed. "It's hard to imagine the pain of the frontier without experiencing it personally. Although I have been blocking the frontier for two years and in Wuwei for half a year, this is the first time I stand high in this kind of weather.
Only then did I realize that the border army is really not easy.”
Han Sui's nose felt sore. "If you hear Your Majesty's words, it is worth it for us Liangzhou people to feel a lot of grievances." He paused and said, "Your Majesty set an example and did not fear hardships. I am the one who is Liang."
People in the state should not be greedy for enjoyment. In this battle, I must lead my soldiers and follow His Majesty’s edict and deal with the enemy.”
Liu Xie nodded. "Mencius said: Born in distress, die in happiness. Only after the pain of this border can one develop a strong and righteous spirit. I just thought that all the ministers and ministers in the court should have the experience of guarding the border in the future. Let them taste it
After experiencing the suffering of the soldiers of the frontier, I realized that peace is hard to come by. It is not easy to govern the country and pacify the world by picking up a few words of wisdom from the saints."
Han Sui's heart moved and said with a smile: "If this is true, I'm afraid no one will mention the word "门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门"
"Yes, you don't know how to cherish without suffering. Only by working hard can you fight for an inch of land." Liu Xie patted his thighs, feeling a little excited. "The Guandong scholars and officials are so comfortable that they only know how to make money from Liangzhou. When it comes to guarding the border,
They only know how to comfort, comfort, quote scriptures and talk a lot, but they turn a blind eye to the true sayings of the frontier guards."
Han Sui was suddenly irritated with sad things, couldn't help but sigh, and his eyes turned red.
"If the late emperor could do his best to fulfill his ambitions and take Your Majesty as his successor, that would be great. The Han Dynasty might not have suffered such a catastrophe."
Liu Xie turned his head and looked at Han Sui, who was rarely moved, and was a little surprised, and then understood what Han Sui meant.
If the late emperor had not encountered any resistance to his idea and had made him the heir from the beginning, He Jin would not have become a general. Han Sui entered the capital to make a timeline. Perhaps he would not have suffered from the indifference of He Jin and others, nor would he be disappointed.
Return to Liangzhou and join the rebels.
Of course, this is just Han Sui's wishful thinking. Even if Liu Xie is appointed as the heir, it may not be able to change the current situation of the court. He Jin, Yuan Shao and others may not be able to give up.
But Han Sui was able to say such words at least showed that he was willing to open his heart and no longer put on defense.
