Country and Beauty

C97 Post-war aftershocks (II)

The imperial edict was very long, and the words Xie Fei had heard before were filled with confusion. However, he knew that among them were words of praise, and in the end, Chang De said with a high-pitched voice, "The True Might Army has used loyalty and patriotism to defeat Xie Fei, the unruly subjects of war, the part of Liu Yuan and the two hundred thousand people of Wang Jun. It can be said that their achievements shook the entire world. The Biao-rider general is a Golden-Seal Purple Ribbon, its position is equivalent to a Senior Elder, or even compared to the Three Grand Masters, and it is considered as a mixed general of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.) The military forces of the three prefectures, the Dark Wing, and the Cyan Prefecture. He also conferred the title of as his four generals, Ma Hun, Li Yi, Qin Haoran, Qi Yu and Qi Yu, and remained under his command. "Here it is."

In ancient times, the chief of thousands of meritorious services was the savior.

Xie Fei immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude and accepted the imperial edict. At this moment, Xie Fei felt a little dizzy. He did not expect the imperial government's bounty to be so thick. Xie Fei did not have any objections to General Zhenwei's position, since he did not know what type of official it was. In any case, as long as it was a general, they all had capable soldiers, but he knew that since the Han Dynasty, Biao-rider general's position was only second to that of the Great General. Starting with the Warring States, it was the highest title of a general. In fact, Guiwei held most of the positions, wielding power and holding high positions. If the Great General was the commander in chief of the armed forces of the nation, then the Biao-rider general was equivalent to a modern commander of the three armies.

Of course, Xie Fei was not an idiot. He immediately thought that this might have played a role due to the huge gift he gave Chang De back then.

Xie Fei could not help but raise his head to look at the eunuch beside the emperor, Chang De. Chang De just so happened to be looking at Xie Fei at the moment. Their eyes met, and a trace of a strange smile flashed past Chang De's eyes. Xie Fei snickered in his heart, seeing that he could avoid the calamity at Luoyang, and also getting the rewards from the Jin Dynasty Emperor.

At this time, Sima Chi, who was seated above, spoke: "Biao-rider general, the Luoyang's encirclement has been resolved. Although General Xie's subordinates suffered heavy casualties in this battle, it is reported that the traitor Wang Jun has led the remnants of his tribe to flee back to the Old Territory of the Youzhou, while the traitor Liu Cong has led the remnants to return back to the Pingyang. Currently, the Hu clan is wreaking havoc, injuring my citizens and destroying my city. We are waiting for you to create a new achievement! " Speaking to here, Jin Wai Di Si Ma sighed: "Sigh! However, the name of our Da Jin does not live up to its name. Ba Shu, Li Empire has rebelled, they have become their own king, the northwest Liu Yuan is already known as the emperor, but the You, Yi, and Qing Prefectures are in the hands of Wang Jun traitors. Seeing how the great rivers and mountains that are our Da Jin are, are going to be destroyed by us, let us not face our ancestors, and let the Hu clansmen slaughter the citizens of our Da Jin, and let us face the people of this world! "

Speaking till here, Sima Chi was secretly injured, his eyes red. Once finished, Sima Chi roared loudly from the alcohol, and said in a sorrowful voice, "But I regret that we are not able to do anything. Even though we have already ascended the throne for three years, we have not done anything, causing the people of the world to be subjected to this unexpected disaster. Now that you have truly been blessed by the heavens with my Da Jin, if you were to take advantage of the fact that I am the victor and take the opportunity to attack in reverse, then the world will be at peace and I will no longer have any worries! "

Xie Fei then turned around, and realised that Sima Chi's words were actually a joke, tricking him into attacking Liu Cong, and taking back the lost ground. Historically, Sima Chi's natural disposition was that of a coward, but the reality was not so, facing the hundred thousand Hun army who were attacking the Luoyang, and facing the pressure of Tai Shan, he did not change his expression at all. If such a person was born cowardly, then there would only be a few people in the world who were truly heroic.

Xie Fei kneeled in front of His Highness and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, due to the previous battles, our losses were considerable, so I think the Luoyang will temporarily garner troops to recuperate. As long as our troops are able to recover, we will immediately send our troops to the north. "

Hearing Xie Fei's words, Jin Huaidi Si Ma nodded happily, "Alright! I am waiting for your good news! I hope the Biao-rider general does not disappoint us! "

Xie Fei said: "As a great general of the imperial government, I shall lead you. You shall help my Emperor share his worries, even if I have to sacrifice myself, I will not refuse!"

At this time, the Eastern Ocean Wang Sima spoke in a very natural tone, and asked aggressively, "The Biao-rider general possesses over twenty thousand elite soldiers. "Excuse me, is this your path?"

If he asked other people this question, perhaps they would have nothing to say. In fact, Xie Fei had never placed the Jin Dynasty's imperial government in his heart before. Xie Fei had an unspeakable antipathy to the thought of the ancient feudal rule. The more Wang Sima questioned Xie Fei, the more humiliating it would be.

Xie Fei retorted in a neutral tone: "It is true that the great general of the imperial government possesses twenty thousand of troops, and it is also true that he possesses twenty thousand of them, but among these twenty thousand troops, fifteen thousand were taken down not long ago, and they are a mix of factors. These include Ruan Bao's army (Han nationality) under Wang Jun's command, and the direct army (Qiang) under Shi Le's command, which of course includes the Fresh Subordinate Tribe (Duan Department and Tuoba Department). Regardless of the strength of this troop, just based on their composition, attacking the northern lands in a short period of time was not suitable, and it was very risky as well. Do you understand that? "

Sima Yue was speechless, but he did not lose in terms of momentum, so Sima Yue's momentum did not decrease at all. He raised his head and said in a very matter-of-fact tone, "Hu Bing has just been recently defeated, and his army has suffered heavy losses. How can he not be defeated when he takes advantage of the situation!"

Xie Fei sneaked a peek, only to see the emperor Sima Chi sitting at the head of the group with a heroic look, as if the matter had nothing to do with his, as though he was sitting haughtily. Originally, it had been bestowed with the title of Xie Fei, but at this moment, it had evolved into a battle between Sima Yue and Sima Yue. For Xie Fei, this time, it was extremely depressing, and logically speaking, he and Sima Yue had no enmity with each other, and there was no enmity between them.

Xie Fei asked in a neither haughty nor humble manner, "Does Your Highness know of Liu Cong's strength in Han Zhao? Does Your Highness know the strength of Wang Jun in You, Yi, and Qing? Does Your Highness know how big these foreign forces are today? "

Liu Cong was King Chu of Han Zhao, who commanded a hundred thousand troops of the elite Hunchbacked Warriors. Although he had suffered a great loss in battle in the Luoyang, he had lost more than a horse, and at this time, the number of people in the Liu Cong Tribe was around fifty to sixty thousand. Liu Cong had gained a lot of popularity among the people in the other tribes, and his supporters were even more numerous. Moreover, the Pingyang was the capital of the Han Zhao Empire, so although the city was not as sturdy as the Luoyang, Xie Fei Clan was only a light cavalry, so they were not suited for siege warfare. Without a doubt, this was a suicidal move. Wang Jun was the local tyrant of the Three Regions and had always been on good terms with the low and fresh tribe. He also had the identity of the leader of the three tribes, which was his father-in-law. The Three Regions had been run by Wang Jun for many years, and their relationship with him was very complicated.

However, Sima Yue intentionally did not mention these sharp questions, and continued to speak arrogantly: "This is not important, ever since the Biao-rider general led the troops, Xiao Yong was unparalleled, with wise and astute people, it has always been the minority that wins over the majority, and the weak over the strong. Although attacking the Pingyang and attacking the remaining parts of Liu Cong were a little difficult, these were not important at all! As long as the Biao-rider general was willing, he would definitely be able to take over the Pingyang. At that time, there will naturally be a response from my Da Jin's loyal supporters. As long as Biao-rider general is sincere, I will do my best to help you.

Sima Yue's words which sounded empty but were filled with passion immediately won cheers from the audience. Not only did the people from Sima Yue's faction cheer for him, even Sima Chi himself was moved.

Xie Fei was extremely depressed, no wonder the Jin Dynasty had tens of thousands of soldiers, but was suppressed by a mere Hu clan. To be able to destroy the Luoyang, and then destroy Chang An, they were basically just like idiots in the eyes of the ministers of the imperial court. The civil officials did not know how to govern their countries, and the military generals did not understand the strategy, it would be weird for them not to be defeated in this kind of situation. Xie Fei sighed inwardly, thinking back to how wise and wise Sima Yi was back then. Together with Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Jiang Wei, he had called them "crouching dragons, phoenixes, baby qilins, and tomb tigers".

However, looking at the descendants of the Sima's disease, Emperor Hui was an idiot, and the eight kings were all courageous and unscrupulous people. None of them could be called a wise king when governing a country, but the people of another world had suffered greatly from war, with rumors saying that they were scattered in all directions.

Although Xie Fei didn't want to continue this meaningless debate, he had no choice. Xie Fei continued to speak, "Liu Cong and Wang Jun both have very deep roots in the Old Territory, and could easily form an army of a hundred thousand in a short period of time. With the addition of his relationship with the Qiang people, the clan, Wu Heng and Wu Wan, the two of them could form an army of at least one hundred thousand to defend this place in a short period of time. No matter how powerful Xie Fei was, he was still just flesh and blood. It is also impossible for him to defeat two hundred thousand troops with just the twenty thousand he has at his disposal. Furthermore, these twenty thousand soldiers are all cavalry soldiers who do not have the ability to attack cities. "

Xie Fei carefully analyzed the situation, causing everyone to reveal a pondering look, many people could not help but nod their heads, Sima Yue already had nothing to say, but in front of Xie Fei's meticulous analysis, he did not have any space to refute. Furthermore, Xie Fei had analyzed the strength of both sides. Even a fool would know that if he used twenty thousand troops to guard the city, he might have a ten percent chance of winning.

The style of the Jin Dynasty's scholars was plain and simple, but these people were usually the well-dressed, refined and refined elites of the country. However, it was not that the Jin Dynasty did not have famous generals, but rather, they were used for internal consumption. The 16 years of chaos between the eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty was the true cause of the fall of the West Jin. Looking at their internal conflicts separately, it was very normal. These internal conflicts were common even in today's lives. But by putting their status, power, and conduct into that natural disaster era, one can see the mental weakness of their actions.

The scariest part was that many future generations of rulers, professional historians and royalists would use the same logic to force an explanation. They would speak of the shameful behavior of one's desire for personal gain as if they were selfless devotees and would speak of the struggle for power as if they were flowers blooming in the sky. They would let others think that he was feeling wronged and had no choice but to do so. Compared to Hui Di, they were simply ferocious.

Xie Fei thought, modern China had already paid too much of a price for these prejudices and superstitions, it was already enough to alert the Chinese people. But after seeing the past and seeing the present, Xie Fei asked and thought about it.

The following words from Sima Yue completely defeated him.

"Loyalty is the foundation of life. Loyalty is not enough. A person, especially a person in a high position, must have compassion. Only then can society be at peace and the people can live and work in peace." Then, Sima Yue changed the topic of their conversation, and directly pointed at Xie Fei, "Even though Biao-rider general is a high position, he can't discipline himself. Everyone may not know this, but what Biao-rider general is doing at the detritus." Reaching this point, Sima Yue suddenly revealed a sad expression, which confused the ministers quite a bit. Even Sima Chi himself was at a loss, and according to the reports from the guards, in the battle of the detritus, Xie Fei had taken back the three counties of the detritus, Lou Chou and Liu Lin. After the chaos among the eight kings, he had lost everything, but he had never taken it back. Could it be that Sima Yue is prepared to use this matter to explain himself?

Seeing that all the officials were looking at him, Sima Yue sighed and revealed a face of indignation: "This matter is truly infuriating! Biao-rider general was slaughtering Huns like chickens and dogs, he did not even let the old, weak, women, and children go! Many of the Huns's homes have been reduced to rubble. That hellish scene is really unimaginable! "

Grand Commandant Wang Yan revealed a look of shock, "How could this happen? Is he even human if he could do such a thing? "

At this time, Sima Yue's words were undoubtedly a stone that gave rise to a thousand ripples, causing the entire hall to instantly boil. When the surrounding ministers heard this, all of them revealed shocked and angry expressions, even Sima Chi became a little excited. They wanted to curse at Xie Fei, but when they saw Beigong Chun and Xie Fei's hostile expressions, they quickly swallowed their words. There was a saying that an Elementary Scholar would meet with a soldier, they were too polite and could not say it clearly. Wang Yan frowned, he looked forward to Xie Fei rebutting it, but seeing Xie Fei's angry face, all the officials looked at Xie Fei with eyes filled with disdain.

Maybe the other ministers were afraid of Xie Fei's might, but Sima Yue was not. Seeing the reaction of the officials, Sima Yue knew that Xie Fei had incurred the wrath of the masses, and immediately after, Sima Yue shouted out, "There are many countries in the Central Plains Empire that have always relied on virtue to bully people, but the Biao-rider general actually raised up his butcher's blade high against the innocent Hunters, what difference does this act have to a beast?"

"Bullshit", Xie Fei's voice was loud and clear, filled with anger. The mud on his body had a third of its original force, furthermore, Xie Fei was a hot-blooded man. Xie Fei aggressively arrived in front of Sima Yue, and looked at him with a sharp gaze: "Treat the enemy with kindness, and be cruel to yourself. Think about it, the Huns, Qiang, and other Hu Clans have killed countless Chinese people, raped countless women, burned many villages and towns, I really cannot bear to exterminate the dead!"

Sima Yue and Xie Fei looked at each other, and spoke in a strong tone: "Could it be that Dao General is so angry that he wants to kill me?!"

Xie Fei looked at the people around him, he realized that almost everyone was looking at him with a look of hatred. He understood the reason, and a surge of anger rose in his heart. He was not angry at the attitude of these people towards him; he was not angry at such things at all. What he was angry at was the attitude of these ministers, the self-righteousness, the pride of their conduct, regardless of what they actually thought. No wonder that in the history of our country, a dynasty governed by such ideas would do so many absurd things, even in the incomparably powerful Han and Tang dynasties.

Xie Fei coldly swept a glance over the surrounding ministers. At this moment, he somewhat felt the same aura as when Lu Xun frowned his brows and faced a thousand men coldly. That's right, in the battle of the detritus, the entire area, and the death order was given by me, I have changed my mind. The army will immediately head north, and those tribes that refuse to submit to my Jin Dynasty will only have the possibility of being wiped out! "
