Chapter 33: I'm a good teacher in my life (2)

"After Maodun found his army in the east, he immediately rectified the army to counterattack the west. At this time, the Dayuezhi had a problem. His king and the deputy king were incompatible, and the deputy king took away some of his troops. So the two armies fought on the Enen River in the old place of the Huns for three days and three nights. At the most critical moment of the battle, Maodun pulled out a whistle and shot towards the Dayuezhi King. His subordinates rushed towards the Dayuezhi King like a torrent. When the Dayuezhi King saw the fierce enemy, he became scared and turned around and fled out of the battlefield. The Dayuezhi Army was defeated and the troops fled everywhere. The Dayuezhi King fled halfway and was killed by his personal soldiers, and his head was given to Maodun Shanyu. The Shanyu indeed fulfilled his oath, turned the Dayuezhi King's skull into a wine bowl, and claimed the shame of being attacked by the sneak attack that year."

Kublai Khan shouted loudly and said, "In addition to defeat, he can maintain a strong will to revenge, and reorganize his troops and fight again, and send his enemies to a dead end with his own hands. There is nothing more pleasant in the world than this. I think if I was born in the era of Maodun Shanyu, I would definitely become a good friend of life and death with him."

Hao Jing smiled and did not make any comments, but continued, "The Great Yuezhi had a meal and was only able to fight. Only then did he realize that he was afraid. Under the leadership of the deputy king, the entire clan fled to the west west. At this point, the Huns completely unified the grassland. Then he sent troops to pacify all tribes in the north, conquered the Aries tribes and Loufan tribes who lived in today's Hedong, Shaanxi and Gansu areas, and developed a small Xiongnu tribe into a super grassland empire with a territory of thousands of miles and a string control man of more than 300,000."

"This Maodun Shanyu is indeed the true hero of our tribe in ancient times," Kublai Kublai said proudly: "But it is not as good as Temujin Khan. Temujin Khan is an unprecedented genius on the grassland. With a small Qiyan tribe, he traveled thousands of miles and swept across the eight deserts in such a short time. He has successively conquered and destroyed more than 60 countries. With the victory of the military power of the Shanyu country, he is not as good as he is today."

He asked again, "What big thing did Maodun Shanyu do later?"

Hao Jing said: "Later, Maodun Shanyu raised all the 400,000 cavalry in the country and went south to attack the Central Plains. At that time, when Qin was destroyed, Liu Bang won the dispute between Chu and Han and established the Han Dynasty. Liu Bang did not know that Maodun Shanyu was powerful, and led 300,000 soldiers to fight in a hurry. As a result, he was surrounded by 400,000 iron cavalry on Baideng Mountain and could hardly escape. Later, it was the Han empress Lu Zhi who used Chen Ping's strategy to bribe the Maudun Shanyu's Yan family and let her mediate. Maodun Shanyu saw that the Han soldiers were also guarding closely and could not attack for a while. He could only retreat slightly. Liu Bang then let the soldiers take the bow and raise arrows to slowly retreat and escape. Later, Liu Bang recognized the majesty of Maodun Shanyu. Not only did he marry the princess of the royal family to show friendship, he also offered a large number of cloth, gold, silver, and grain and other supplies every year, and also made a brother with Shanyu."

Kublai Khan said in confusion: "This is not the case of Maodun Shanyu. When waiting for the enemy to break through, he should use elite troops to raid the cavalry to continue to harass him. When the enemy's formation shows signs of collapse, and then use iron armored cavalry to bravely break in, the enemy will inevitably collapse. The Khan named Liu Bang can catch it, and the land in the Central Plains is also belonged to Maodun Shanyu."

Hao Jing was one of the so-called great scholars in the north at that time. If we say that there were not many scholars in the north who could surpass him in the preaching and history, but he could only know a little bit of the superficiality of the art of war. He could only smile awkwardly, trying to hide the past with this.

President Song Yi stood aside and listened to the Mongolian sayings they were kicking, and didn't know what the two were talking about. At this time, seeing Hao Jing being in trouble, he quietly asked Hao Jing: "What problem has the king stumped you?"

Hao Jing had no choice but to roughly translate what Kublai Khan said.

"This question is very simple." Song Yichang said: "It's because the Han people at that time had just experienced a fierce civil war and the spirit of bravery still existed. The Hun knights at that time not only did not have iron armor, but even stirrups. Even if they broke into the Han army, they could only fall into hand-to-hand combat with the Han infantry. The two armies were fighting each other, and it was unknown who would win or lose. If Maodun Shanyu had 30,000 assault cavalry equipped with iron armor and stirrups, they might be able to capture Liu Bang alive and create a earth-shaking career."

"But in terms of the strength of the Huns at that time, Maodun had indeed made the best situation in this war."

After hearing Hao Jing's translation, Kublai Khan patted Song Yichang's shoulder convincingly: "Song, you are right. Today's Shanyu Kingdom not only has such good iron-armored cavalry, Han infantry soldiers who are good at siegeing cities, but also various siege equipment. We can, and we should also create a great cause that is more brilliant than Maodun Shanyu."

He pointed his hand up and said loudly: "Changshengtian can see that I, Kublai Khan, will surely seize the position of the Great Khan of the Mongolian, and will build a powerful country that has never been seen in history with the most brave and capable Mongolians, as well as a clever and capable minister like you and Hao Jing!"

After Hao Jing excitedly translated these bold words, he said to Song Yichang: "Today's northern military power is far superior to previous generations. King Kublai Khan will definitely become an emperor who has never been seen in history, who is millions of times greater than that of Emperor Tang and Song Zu. Let me be Xiao He, and you are Zhang Liang!"

Song Yichang quickly thanked him a few words and smiled secretly in his heart. Xiao He was Liu Bang's hometown and his status in the Pei County Gang was even higher than Liu Bang. It was because of this that Liu Bang was willing to hand over the entire rear to Xiao He for management. With the attitude of the Mongolians towards foreign races, Hao Jing, let alone Xiao He, was afraid that Chen Ping could not do it. At best, he was Li Shiqi.

And what status can he gain in the Mongol Empire?

Song Yichang was so beautiful that he was so proud of the nobles in the north. Bai Yijie didn't know at all. He only knew that this old classmate was acting strangely and erratic, and no one could understand his true thoughts. So when Song Yichang suddenly disappeared without a trace in Daye County, he could only wait for Song Yichang to take the initiative to contact him.

Bai Yijie has many tasks. Although the role of a senator in the army was originally just a major think tank of the shogunate to provide reference opinions to the generals, as Zheng Yunming's aide, the tasks of Zheng Yunming have much more than others.

Zheng Yunming has many positions. In addition to the deputy governor of Jing and E, Zheng Yunming also served as the county magistrate of Nanzhang County and was promoted to Changping the warehouse in Jinghu. In addition, he also had to assist the commander Zhao Kui in handling military affairs and deal with various needs from the powerful people in Jinghu.

No one can face so many government affairs alone. Behind every so-called famous minister and general who has been proficient in affairs, there must be a group of neat and resourceful staff.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, the ministers and generals usually only needed a few to a dozen staff members. Hundreds of years later, the officials of the vassal states had super staff teams ranging from dozens to hundreds of people to handle various complex affairs. Some ministers who particularly liked to recruit talents had as many as thousands of teachers around them, which could be said to be "three thousand guests drunk in the hall, and one sword shone in the fourteen states."

According to common practice, at least dozens of people around Zheng Yunming had to share the heavy affairs brought about by the three responsibilities of the political system, military system and economic system. However, Zheng Yunming's shogunate was a little shabby. At present, there were only two senators. One was a slander who was about the same age as Zheng Yunming and had a bad record in the records of the Ministry of Rites. The other was a scholar Bai Yijie, who was famous for his poetry and had no achievements in doing business outside the country. Liu Kezhuang, who had been in the shogunate for many years and had not been transferred to a formal official, also assisted in military affairs. Bi Zilun, one person who assisted in the military affairs. These three people were all think tanks in the Deputy Chief Executive Office of Jinghu.

This situation is caused by both internal and external reasons: In the heart, Zheng Yunming is not willing to add incompetent people to enrich his shogunate, because the aides of capable generals have a very high chance of gaining merit, especially Zheng Yunming is stationed in Xiangyang, just as he is facing the front line of the Mongols. Once the war begins, as long as these aides survive, they will undoubtedly accumulate a lot of achievements in the Privy Council and the Ministry of Personnel. The chances of transferring official positions or transferring local powerful positions in the future are almost 10% 10%. If people are not carefully identified and recruited into the shogunate, they may allow mediocre people to enter key positions in the local area in the future. If they are transferred to another place to serve, it is still good. If they stay in Jinghu and continue to be an official, it would be Zheng Yunming who himself would cause trouble for himself.

On the other hand, even if Zheng Yunming really needs some scholars with real talents to help him, it is not so easy to do. It has been a year since Song Meng officially started the war, and those who are a little rational and love life will not choose to be an official in the border area at this time. It would be fine if they were formally appointed by the state. If they were just someone else's aide, such a thing that was not glorious and risked their lives, most scholars would respect Xie Bumin.

Even a few people who are ambitious to make achievements in troubled times are mostly disliked the unified military shogunate, and they are all struggling to serve in the shogunate where the local commanders are in charge. The proverb that "I would rather be a dog in the corps than a dragon in the Rongshi". Not only Zheng Yunming, but also the shogunate of generals in various places has been difficult to recruit people.

Zheng Yunming's delay in handling the problem of aides was finally unbearable, even Wei Leweng, who was about to set off to meet the saint, so he personally selected several capable talents for Zheng Yunming to enrich the shogunate.

Zheng Yunming was shocked by the first person to arrive in Xiangyang.

"Shumou, I haven't seen you for many years, and I almost can't recognize you." When Xu Yuanjie was led into the side hall of the Dutong Department by the guards, his familiar loud voice reminded Zheng Yunming of the time he had studied under Zhendexiu.

At that time, Zheng Yunming was sent to Zhendexiu's sect, and was still a young boy in the general corner. At that time, the one who was responsible for announcing the matters in the school was this loud voice.
