The reborn sycophant

In October, the Qi emperor accepts his concubine. There is a record in the history of Qi: (Yan Feng) Three years, the emperor's filial piety period, another year, Fang Na concubine, two concubines and four concubines, from beginning to end.

In the same month of the same year, the Xiongnu invaded the frontier, and the death camps stationed on the frontier moved upon hearing the news.In this battle, Tang Tang killed [-] enemies and injured countless enemies, so he was exonerated from the death row and joined the Western Army. After that, he participated in several battles, sometimes making meritorious service.

At the end of the year, border wars raged, and the Daqi army fought several times with the Huns, each winning or losing.

The fighting continued until February of the following year.

Originally, from the perspective of the Xiongnu, they just "collected" grain routinely in late autumn.Unexpectedly, last autumn, the Qi army was uncharacteristically, fighting and chasing them like lunatics. The Xiongnu are horsemen, with machetes on their waists, and rough meat in their mouths. They fought fiercely. Although the Qi army is well-trained, But they have lived a peaceful life for hundreds of years, and they can see their shortcomings when they confront this kind of people who are practicing every day. Therefore, although there are few Huns, they have temporarily drawn a tie with the frontier army.

The Xiongnu originally thought that the Qi army was just fighting a few symbolic battles like in previous years, contemptuously and relaxed, but soon, they found that the Qi army refused to retreat and was approaching the grassland step by step.The royal court of the Huns finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and urgently mobilized troops from various tribes. They came and went with the Qi army. In terms of casualties, the Qi army was more, but the Huns were few. Feeling sad, besides, you can only exchange one for two?

"This Qi army is very vicious, they hook horses' legs. Without horses, they are like wild wolves without claws and claws. They can only be slaughtered by others. It is very aggrieved! Shan Yu, if this continues, our disadvantages will be obvious. I'm afraid we won't be able to fight for a long time."

For this sudden war, the royal court of the Huns has already launched several meetings, and the leaders of all tribes gathered together to wait for the Khan to dispatch them. However, even so, they still couldn't stop the bad news from the front line.

"Hey, I've said it earlier, Daqi is not what it used to be now, it's the time when the army is strong and horses are strong, we should have restrained the clansman long ago."

"You're so easy to say, if you don't go to Caogu, what will we eat in winter?"

While discussing, several tribes had a quarrel, and this kind of situation would happen every few days, and people were used to it.

Now surrounding the Huns, there are two problems.One is that some tribes believed that the war was brought about by the tyrannical tribes that invaded the borders of the Qi Dynasty. They asked these tribes to send more troops and more food, otherwise they would not be willing to take responsibility for their mistakes.The second is that the Xiongnu could not bear such consumption. Originally, the reason why the Huns were able to live in a corner and live endlessly was that the Xiongnu were tall and strong, all of them were skilled in horsemanship, and they were nomads. If there was a war, they would just leave.It is not that the Qi Dynasty did not never fight against the Xiongnu, but the Xiongnu would go deep into the grassland for hundreds of miles or even thousands of miles at every turn. The Qi army could not catch up.

With all kinds of desperation, Da Qi formulated a strategy of making peace with the Huns. Every few decades, he sent a clan son and a large amount of supplies in exchange for several years of peace.

But today it is different.

After these years of peace and comfort, many tribes of the Xiongnu have followed the example of the border people of the Qi Dynasty and took root in the fertile land of water and grass. If they want to leave, it is not so easy to leave. It's not the exhausted and poor state when the country was founded. The Qi army is also famous for its strong infantry. After chasing them like this, even if the Huns ride fast, the Qi army is determined. Pushing forward step by step, watching, the Huns were forced into a barren land.

The Xiongnu was pushed too hard, and suddenly remembered the road of marriage, which made people sigh, and the feng shui took turns.

So in March of this year, the envoys of the Huns came to the border and expressed their desire to negotiate peace with Qi Guohe. The news spread to Chang'an, but Emperor Qi refused.In April, the Qi army gathered 20 elite soldiers in Gu County, and wiped out [-] enemies. Tang Tang was the vanguard in this battle. After the victory, Tang Tang led the troops to chase the Huns. , Killed and wounded countless disabled soldiers, which made the Huns frightened when they heard the word "Tang".

The Qi army lost [-] troops in this campaign.

In June, the Xiongnu sent envoys to Qi again, wanting to discuss the matter of marriage, but were rejected. The Xiongnu then plundered the three counties in the north of Qi. , So he broke through the four tribes, captured thousands of people and returned.

In September, the Huns internally divided the main peace faction and the main stand faction. The old Shanyu died of worry. Inherited by the daughter, there suddenly appeared two Shanyus on the grassland.

Dong Danyu continued to lead his army to fight against Qi, and Xidan Yu sent Shi Ji to Qi again. The Qi Emperor was grateful for his sincerity, made an alliance with him, and married him. There are thousands of horses.

Zhao Ji wanted these thousand horses.

She continued to fight with Dong Danyu, but although there were gains from time to time, the Xiongnu never became extinct, and even still won and lost with Qi, very tenacious.

Because of Tang Tang's frequent meritorious service in the war with the Huns, he was named General of Chariots and Cavalry. Because the Huns were not completely wiped out, he was still stationed at the border and was not allowed to return to the court for no reason.

The Tang family is now a double general, and it has also reached the peak of ordinary Wumen's power.

The so-called mutual prosperity means that the Tang family and the Wei family are relatives. When Tang Tang was in trouble, the master and wife of the Wei family ran around, and everyone saw it. Now that the Tang family is prosperous, Wei Chuyan's position has been strengthened.

"Recently, I have received several invitations to court one after another. The kings of Wu, Zhao, and Chu...all wrote to ask to come to court. It must be because they felt uneasy after seeing us defeat the Xiongnu."

It was a rainy day with black clouds falling in the sky, but Zhao Ji was in a clear mood.She talked with Wei Chuyan in the imperial study, and pointed to a pile of booklets for her to read, while several people were waiting outside the study, all of whom were important officials who would be summoned soon.

Naturally, Wei Chuyan would not go forward to read the emperor's papers. She thought about it roughly: "If you calculate the time, the princes and kings will have six or seven years to go to the pilgrimage, right?"

"Yes, this is the first time since I came to the throne. There were more when the father was alive, but after the incident with the crown prince of Zhongshan, the princes and kings only came to pilgrimage once."

Qi follows martial arts, but there are still discrepancies in many places.It is like paying tribute to the princes' dynasties. Wu Dynasty had two dynasties a year, spring for spring and autumn for autumn, but Qi Dynasty was not like this.Some princes and kings made dynasties every three years, some made dynasties every five years, and some even went on pilgrimage only after receiving the imperial edict. In short, the situation was very complicated.

What Zhao Ji said about the "Prince Zhongshan" refers to the fact that when her elder brother was still the crown prince, he smashed to death the prince Zhongshan because of winning or losing on the chessboard. A series of things led to her today's throne.

After that time, other princes and kings also came to Chang'an for a pilgrimage, but King Zhongshan always said that he could not recover from his illness.For this reason, the first emperor once sent someone to Zhongshan Kingdom to give some sticks to King Zhongshan as punishment for not coming to court.

This is also thinking that King Zhongshan is a direct relative of the clan, and he is in the pain of losing his son. In order to avoid the hearts of the princes and kings, he was punished lightly.Otherwise, those who dare not come to the pilgrimage like this will be demoted once, the land will be confiscated twice, and the army will be sent to take back the feudal state three times.

"Now it's almost the first month, why don't you refute it first, wait until August, and then order them to come to court in October. We just spent a battle with the Xiongnu, and the treasury has been reduced. If they come to court now, what happened during the period? , We are worried about military resources, and it is not easy to deal with it. But after another autumn harvest, we will fully recover, and we will be able to take advantage of the situation to restrain the princes and kings."

The Huns have retreated, and now the thorns in the eyes of the two are only the princes and kings.Wei Chuyan has been doing business with Han Haohan these years, so he has some understanding of the forces in the east. Not to mention, the few princes and kings around the Bohai Sea have made a lot of money by privately minting coins and selling salt and iron these years. The bowl is full, it is possible to come up with the military funds to raise troops, and it is time to deal with it.

"Now our Western Army has been grinded out by the Xiongnu. If it is really the same as in the previous life, and finally caused six vassal states to rebel, we are not afraid of them. It's just that the eldest brother has been imprisoned in Chang'an in this life, and your family is also better In the last life, I was much more peaceful, and it wasn't the eldest brother who started the incident, and I don't know who will stand up first this time."

In the previous life, there was a rebellion among princes and kings, which directly led to the death of Wei Chuyan. It took about three years for Zhao Ji to quell the rebellion. I can still think of all the difficulties in it.

"It's either those people in the east, or the king of Zhongshan. Those countries should be on the left and right, let's see."

Wei Chuyan was not familiar with what happened later, but she could probably guess that the one who had been recuperating over the years was the most rebellious one.

Zhao Ji nodded in agreement, and wrote a few names with the ink brush in her hand: "Then let's move it back for another year. Hang them too, let these old guys scratch their hearts and livers." She wrote the names on the silk Bo handed it over to Wei Chuyan: "Go and send some spies to them to find out the truth. I know that your power management is good. If you are in the northwest, you are not as good as me, but in the southeast, our royal guards are not as good as you." Yes. So I'll let you work hard, it's been a few years."

Wei Chuyan put away the list, and heard Zhao Ji say: "Actually, I hope to fight this battle earlier, while the Western Army is still sharp."

Wei Chuyan also thought this way in his heart: "It's a pity that the princes and kings should avoid it. They are not stupid if they can bear it for so many years. They won't face our edge at this time."

Zhao Ji naturally also thought of it, and she said to Wei Chuyan: "Say, how about another Zhongshan Crown Prince?"

Wei Chuyan looked at her in surprise, but saw her leaning on the dragon chair, her dark eyes staring at the map hanging on the wall, there was no hint of a joke in her expression.

The author has something to say: It seems that the fast forward button is pressed =, = If you think it is fast, then I will slow it down.

Our goal is: don't end badly, but finish quickly.

After counting, it has been three days since the double update, let's discuss it, and there will be an update today. .Take a break and continue the double update tomorrow.
