Chapter 1260 Returning to the teacher

   "My lord, my lord!"

  Hu Fen walked quickly in front of his lord. Although he lowered his voice as much as possible, he couldn't hide the excitement in his tone:

   "The Protectorate of the Central Capital issued an order to the boy to let the boy pretend to be the captain of Guan, and lead a team alone to rule Tianjingguan!"

  Captain Du was originally the name of a military attache in the army.

   It already existed in the pre-Qin period.

  After the founding of the country, Emperor Gaozu inherited the Qin system, and each county had a county lieutenant to assist the prefect in charge of the military.

  Later Emperor Xiaojing changed the county captain to the capital captain.

  In addition to the captain who was in charge of the military in the county, the former Han Dynasty also had the captain of Guandu who governed the city, the captain of agriculture who was in charge of border counties and farming, and the management of the subordinate countries of all ethnic groups.

   Even has nothing to do with martial arts, such as the captain of Fengche who is in charge of the emperor's vehicle, etc.

  When Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty again, he took over the military forces of all counties in the world.

  Such as the Provincial Guan Duwei, only the Bianjun Duwei and the subordinate country Duwei are retained.

  Until the world was in turmoil decades ago, princes from all over the country conferred official positions one after another, and the number of official titles in the army has become a flood.

  Taking the post of school lieutenant as an example, it used to be second only to the generals.

  Now, except for the captain with a specific name, the rest of the so-called captains have been reduced to the names of low-level generals in the army.

  In the case of a flood of official titles, Guancheng Duwei was naturally reactivated.

  Hu Fen, the "false Guan Duwei", ruled Tianjingguan, which means that he was the acting guard of Tianjingguan.

  The reason why it is an agent is because this military order was issued by the frontline Zhongduhufu.

  If you want to become an official guard, you need to report to the court and obtain the consent of the emperor.

   But this is just a formality, because the emperor of the Han Dynasty will basically not reject the military arrangements of the Zhongdu Protectorate.

   Not to mention that after the four-year battle of Yanxi, the Central Capital Protectorate, the governor of the internal and external military, is already worthy of the name and unshakable.

  This time, Hu Fen was promoted by leaps and bounds.

   "Tianjing Pass is a heavy pass in the Taihang Xing. The Zhongdu Guardian let you guard this pass because he valued you."

  As the chief general of the Tuchen Army, Hu Zun had obviously gotten the news.

  But seeing that he just nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

   Then he solemnly exhorted:

   "The patio is closed to Taihang Xing, just like the pot is closed to Baixing. You have also seen the consequences of the loss of Baixing."

   "The center of Guanzhong was shaken, and Bingzhou was almost lost. You are going to guard Tianjing Pass, and you need to be careful in everything."

   If Huguan is lost, Shangdang will not be guaranteed.

   But if you lose Tianjingguan, you will lose at most half of Shangdang.

   It's just that there are some things that I would rather say seriously than lightly.

  Don't you see, Wei Yan, a veteran of the Han Dynasty, is almost as powerful as the Central Guard.

   Once the dynasty accidentally lost the Shangdang, I have not heard how the court will deal with it, but it is almost predictable that the world will say that he is old and incompetent.

  He was brave and good at fighting all his life, but he was ridiculed in his later years.

  Although the blame is self-inflicted, it still makes people sigh and regret.

  Hearing his lord mentioned Wei Yan, Hu Fen couldn't help but feel a little disapproving.

  Who in the army today doesn't know that Wei Yan is self-willed, ignorant of people, underestimates the enemy's carelessness, and greedy for merit, which led to the loss of Shangdang?

   Not to mention rumors that Wei Yan had always been at odds with Zhongdu Hu.

  Who is Zhongduhu?

   There are ten talents in the world, and Feng Mingwen monopolizes eight.

  Why don't men carry a horizontal knife and get fame by destroying thieves and rejuvenating the Han Dynasty?

  Preparing both civil and military skills, going out and entering the prime minister, that is an example for countless big men and young men with aspirations to emulate.

  Young people are full of enthusiasm, with a clear distinction between what they love and what they hate.

  Hu Fen, who wholeheartedly wants to make meritorious service, is no exception—when will Wei Yan deserve to be compared with the head of the mountain?

  Seeing Hu Fen's expression, Hu Zun still didn't know what his son was thinking.

  But seeing his expression became serious:

   "Wei Wenchang is an old man promoted by the late emperor, and he is known for his military exploits, and he is also the benevolent emperor of the Han family today."

   "However, if you lose the party once carelessly, if you want to lead troops to guard one side in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

   "Your father, I used to be a rebel. Although I abandoned the rebellion and followed the righteous, my qualifications are far from comparable to Wei Yan."

   "However, not only are you leading one of the Eighth Armies in the Guanzhong, but you can even surpass several ranks and enter the eyes of the Zhongdu Guardian. Do you know why?"

  Hu Fen knew that his father meant something else, but he still said:

   "Naturally, it is because the boy fought hard in front of the battle, made several military exploits, and reported it to the case of the head of the mountain."

"snort!"

  Hu Zun sneered:

   "Among the Han army, who is not going forward bravely, hoping to make military achievements, but there is no one who is afraid of fighting?"

   Speaking of this, he paused:

   "Especially the students who came out of the martial arts hall with you, if you have the opportunity like you, will there be one person behind you?"

  The Anding Hu family, represented by Hu Zun, completely fell to the big Han after the battle of Xiaoguan.

  Hu Fen, the son of Hu Zun, was specially recommended to study in the lecture hall because he was more strategic than martial arts—this is why he admired someone Feng.

   After all, he wanted to call out the head of the mountain.

   Not to mention the officer reserves who came out of the lecture hall, in terms of political literacy, they have always been at the forefront of the big men.

  Although he knew that what his adults said was reasonable, Hu Fen muttered unconvinced: "But the children have made the most military achievements."

  People who come out of the martial arts hall pay attention to getting fame immediately, value ability and ability, and admire self-reliance and self-improvement.

   It is a shame to occupy a high position without talent, and receive a generous salary without merit!

   "Everyone wants to make military achievements, but how can everyone have the opportunity to make achievements?!"

   Hu Zun's tone became a little harsh:

   "I know that you are interested in the battlefield, and you don't want to get involved in the affairs of the clan too much. I have said so much, and I don't want to tell you that you have to think about the clan."

   "I just want to tell you that you got the opportunity in front of you because your surname is Hu, and you come from the Anding Hu family!"

  The big man has been vigorously promoting the New Deal these years, not to beat all the aristocratic families to death with a stick.

   Otherwise, the aristocratic families in Shu would not have made a comeback, and the wealthy families in Liangzhou would not have had such a happy life.

  Similarly, during the implementation of the New Deal in the land where the Great Han digested Guanzhong and Bingzhou, if there is any family that can use the heart of a strong man to release the wrist and abandon the old benefits and embrace the New Deal, it will naturally have great hope in the near future.

  An Ding Hu family happened to be one of them.

   Although it was half-forced to get to this point back then.

   But the process is not important.

  The most important thing is that the big Han implemented the New Deal in Guanzhong, which made a lot of effort to stabilize the Hu family.

  At the same time, the stable Hu family can be regarded as a model set up by the big man.

  Just like Zhang Jiu, the leader of the Wuqian Army, represents the Zhang family of Dunhuang, Liangzhou.

   "Our Hu family, although we have established a foothold in the big man, our foundation is not stable."

   "The Central Guard values ​​you. Although you have performed in this battle, you have to admit that you are from the Anding Hu family, which is also an advantage."

   "As a father, I don't ask you how much protection you can bring to the Hu family in the future, but at least you must not drag us down."

  Hu Zun stared closely at Hu Fen:

   "Especially at this time, if you make a mistake in the courtyard, the efforts we have made to stabilize the Hu family over the years may be ruined."

  Hearing that his lord wanted to say this, Hu Fen breathed a sigh of relief:

   "My child already understands what my lord means. Please rest assured, my lord, my child will be careful and guard the courtyard for the big man, and will never repeat the mistakes of Wei Wenchang."

  Hu Zun heard the words, the corner of his mouth twitched, and finally nodded:

   "You can think so, I am very pleased to be a father."

   If you can add another sentence "do not bring shame to the family", I will be even happier as a father.

   It's just that the son in front of him doesn't seem to understand the mood of his own adults at all.

   Instead, he coughed, and then said intentionally or unintentionally:

   "My lord has made great achievements in this battle, and I don't know how the court will reward him."

  Hu Zun looked at his son, but seeing his erratic gaze, it was obvious that he was changing the subject abruptly.

  Seeing his son like this, Hu Zun didn't bother to talk to him, but said in a flat tone:

   "The war just ended, and the imperial court still doesn't know if they know the whole battle situation. How to reward?"

  In this battle, from north to south, Taiyuan, Shangdang, Hedong, and even Tongguan, Hanguguan and Wuguan were all involved.

  The battle line was extremely long, and the battle reports from all over the place were probably sent to Chang'an like snowflakes.

  The princes of the imperial court are afraid that they will be busy.

   "That's true."

   "However, the Protectorate of the Central Capital also sent a military order to Weifu, asking me to pretend to be General Anyuan and guard Shangdang together with Prefect Shi."

"Uh-huh!"

   Hu Fen's eyes widened suddenly.

  Hu Zun looked at his son calmly.

   "Fake General Anyuan? Prefect Shi?"

   "General Shi Zhonglang is now a false prefect. I think he will be the official Shangdang prefect soon."

   "Is that so..."

  A little further south of Gaodu City is Tianjingguan.

  Gaodu City belongs to Shangdang County. In the current situation, Tianjing Pass may also be under the jurisdiction of Shangdang County.

  So, in the eyes of grown-ups, what I showed off just now was nothing more than a buffoon?

  Hu Fen's face suddenly turned red, and he felt a little helpless.

   "My lord, you...baby, I want to get ready to go to the courtyard earlier, so I will take my leave first."

  Looking at his son's somewhat embarrassed back, Hu Zun, who had invisibly shocked his son, didn't show the slightest complacency, but instead had a complex expression.

  This son's future achievements may be expected, but it may be difficult for him to take the initiative to take on the important responsibilities of the family.

   I don't know what he learned in the lecture hall, but it has changed so much.

   Fortunately, I have more than one son...

  When the winter of the fourth year of Yanxi came, the scuffle between Han, Wei and Wu finally came to an end.

  Although the State of Wei took the lead at the beginning, due to serious internal conflicts, not only failed to occupy Shangdang, but even lost Hangu Pass and Shaanxi.

   Completely lost the key point of the Weihan Ancient Road, Luoyang, the capital of the Wei State, and even the whole of Henan, were exposed to Ji Han's soldiers.

  As for Jingzhou, without Xiangyang, Wei State could no longer suppress Wu State from the west.

   It is even necessary to strengthen its troops to prevent the state of Wu from crossing the Han River in the north and annexing Nanyang.

  If it is said that Wei Guo suffered the most serious losses in this melee.

   Then the one who benefits the most is Wu Guo.

   Leased the weapons of the Han State, borrowed the grain of the Han State, and easily won the key point of Xiangyang, so that Jingzhou no longer had to worry about the Wei army in the north, and the pressure on the west front was greatly reduced.

  As for Ji Han, there are gains and losses.

  Although he has thoroughly mastered the Weihan Ancient Road.

   But this battle also bottomed out the treasury of the entire country, making it impossible to send troops within a few years.

  If it weren’t for someone Feng and Shang Shuling Jiang Wan still having the hole card of the United Reserve Bureau, the implementation of the New Deal might have to be suspended.

  At the same time, it is necessary to urgently mobilize the grain storage in Shu to go north.

  If there is another mistake during the period, maybe they have to compromise with the aristocratic families in Guanzhong Bingzhou and other places in order to stabilize the situation.

  The so-called pulling one hair and moving the whole body will eventually disrupt the layout of Jingzhou.

  Really reaching that step, and now that Wu Guo has already captured Xiangyang, it will be more difficult to regain Jingzhou in the future.

  It can be said that compared with the loss, the gain is just not satisfactory.

  However, if he could take the opportunity to completely wipe out the old-fashioned families in Shangdang and even Bingzhou, Feng Duhu felt that it would be acceptable to be reluctant.

  After confirming that the entire front was stable, Feng Duhu asked Shi Bao to temporarily serve as the prefect of the Shangdang, and Hu Zun led the Chen army to guard Huguan.

  Let the governor of Hedong, Jiang Bin, temporarily lead the remaining soldiers of the former Governor's Mansion of Hedong.

  Finally, Jiang Wei was ordered to lead the tiger infantry to guard Shandi and Hangu Pass, assisted by Liu Yin.

  At the same time, the Second Northern and Southern Armies, the Tiger Cavalry Army, and the Wuwei Army were called back to Chang'an.

  After arranging all this, and reporting to the imperial court as soon as possible, Feng Duhu led the Wuqian Army to prepare to withdraw.

  Compared to Feng Duhu's calculation of gains and losses, many people in the rear couldn't help clapping their foreheads to congratulate them after learning that the battle had been decided.

   Okay, okay, it's finally over.

  Feng Duhu really never disappoints!

  The emperor of the Han Dynasty learned that the army had returned, and personally went out to Chang'an for thirty miles to meet the soldiers who had returned in triumph.

  Seeing the emperor's chariot from a distance, Feng Duhu didn't dare to push him, so he quickly rolled off his horse, and under the guidance of the little yellow gate, he came to the imperial chariot and saluted:

   "Chen Yong, pay homage to Your Majesty, thank you for your Majesty's jade toe to come personally, I am terrified to death!"

   "Feng Qing, get up quickly, get up quickly!" A Dou lifted the curtain, and leaned forward to get out of the car.

   Although he may look like a fat man, but when he got off the car, he didn't need to be supported by the palace man next to him.

   But seeing A Dou stepping forward quickly, he personally helped Feng Duhu up.

   "Thank you, Your Majesty."

  A Dou supported Feng Duhu's arms and refused to let go. He tried hard to open his small eyes, looking at Feng Duhu who was covered in dust with joy.

  The round, fat face was filled with smiles, and there seemed to be indescribable emotions in the smiles.

   After a long time, Ah Dou spoke again:

   "Mingwen, thank you!"

   "Your Majesty is serious, fighting for the country, how hard is it?"

  Hearing Feng Duhu's words, A Dou looked extremely happy, his small eyes narrowed:

   "The big man has such loyal ministers as Mingwen, so why not worry about it?"

   While speaking, he pressed Feng Duhu's arms firmly:

   "Mingwen, come, get in the car with me, and go back to the palace together!"

  Feng Duhu stepped back quickly and saluted again:

   "How can I, my minister, dare to overstep and drive with His Majesty? Your Majesty has really offended me."

   "Hey!" Fatty Liu, oh, Fatty Liu, who has already entered middle age, seems to be particularly agile today. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed Feng Yong:

   "Mingwen fights in front, and I sit behind me. Now that Mingwen has returned from a victorious battle for the country, this car is specially prepared by me for Mingwen."

   "Don't talk about mere driving, even if you are leading the horse and holding the whip for Mingwen, you have no complaints!"

  The tone is solemn and the expression is sincere.

  Feng Duhu shook his head and smiled wryly:

   "Your Majesty is going to put the subject on the stove to roast!"

  Looking at this pair of monarchs and ministers, many veteran ministers who followed them all nodded secretly:

  Your Majesty has quite a legacy of generosity, benevolence and righteousness from the late emperors!

  Thinking back in the past, the first emperor was also lenient and benevolent, so that the heroes could compete with each other and follow him to the death!

   "There is no fire under my car, but inside the car, there is a charcoal stove, which can drive away the cold air in Mingwen's body."

  A Dou seems to be determined not to give up until he pulls Feng Yong into the car: "Mingwen, come quickly!"

  Feng Duhu still hesitated to step forward, and subconsciously glanced around.

  Xu Ci had the most wink, and was the first to shout:

   "Your Majesty treats meritorious officials with such courtesy, it's a truly benevolent Lord!"

   "Your Majesty is kind!"

   "Your Majesty is kind!"

  …

   Fatty Liu narrowed his eyes again with a smile, and said to Feng Duhu:

   "Mingwen, don't let me lose this reputation of benevolence!"

  Feng Duhu smiled wryly, so he had no choice but to follow A Dou and get into the car.

   All the officials and soldiers around shouted:

   "Long live, long live!"

   "Victory, victorious!"

  The curtain hangs down, blocking countless eyes outside, and A Dou pours a cup of tea himself:

   "Mingwen, there is no outsider here, I still have to say one more thing, this time, it is really thanks to you!"

   "Your Majesty, I dare not be a minister!"

   "I'm not being polite, but I'm apologizing to you. Regarding Wei Yan's matter, I regret that I forgot about Xiangfu's arrangement, and I shouldn't listen to your advice."

   Hearing this, Feng Duhu finally couldn't help but looked up at A Dou.

  Emperor... Is this going to take the responsibility on himself?

   But think about it, Wei Yan's appointment, no matter who is behind the scenes, will eventually be recognized through the Emperor's Edict.

  Outside the palace and inside the palace, after all, there is an emperor separated!

   "Mingwen, I know that I am just a mediocre person, and far less talented than the late emperor, so this time, it is true that I have no self-knowledge."

   As A Dou said, he put the tea in front of Feng Yong himself, and said in a low voice, "So, can you understand? Can you, don't blame the queen anymore?"

  PS: Thank you for your concern. Tiger Girl has already given birth. The baby was born prematurely and had breathing difficulties, so he has been staying in the incubator in the intensive care unit, and the breathing is assisted by a ventilator.

  Tiger Girl was delivered by caesarean section, so I have been taking care of her day and night for the past few days.

   Now both the mother and the child are getting better, and the mother-in-law also came to help, so I can go home and take a shower, and take time to write a chapter for everyone and report the situation at the same time.

  (end of this chapter)
