Chapter 53 Battle Report
Ye Zhao was very happy that there was another quasi-top talent around him.
In fact, the performance of Fa in history or Romance is definitely a top talent. The reason why he is called a quasi-top talent is because the current Fa Zheng has only been a county magistrate at most. Moreover, whether in the process of talking to Fa Zheng or looking back on the original history, it is not difficult to find that Fa Zheng is more talented in military strategy and has a rich reserve of knowledge, but has no practical experience. Compared with the top talents such as Li Ru who have already had countless experiences, Fa Zheng has not yet fully grown up, so it can only be considered a quasi-top.
There is no need to continue to stay in the academy. There is almost no such thing as teaching Fazheng there. What he needs now is practical experience. So after Fazheng officially decided to become an official, Ye Zhao directly asked the academy to give Fazheng the qualification to enter the officialdom. The two major academies can open the door of convenience for those with sufficient ability, but the premise is that they are capable enough. Otherwise, if you want to enter the officialdom, you should just talk about it peacefully after you finish learning what you have learned in the academy.
"It seems that the lord is quite satisfied with Xiaozhi." When he returned to the Taiwei Mansion, looking at Fa Zheng who had changed into a Confucian robe, Xi Zhicai smiled.
"Thank you for your recommendation by Brother Xi!" Fa Zheng bowed respectfully to Xi Zhicai.
"It's not as strange as you said." Ye Zhao sat on the main seat and said with a smile. This is also the reason for different concepts. In Ye Zhao's opinion, Fa Zheng was extremely arrogant in the academy, and showing himself was just a chance to enter Ye Zhao's sight. Facts proved that he did quite successfully. Even if he didn't have the recommendation of Xi Zhicai, he used Fa Zheng's teachings to defend the individual's performance on the first day of entering the academy. It was difficult not to disturb Ye Zhao, but it was only a few days later.
Ye Zhao is very concerned about the academy. He will walk around every few days and teach the students when he is in a good mood.
"Although Xiaozhi is now the chief clerk, it is not a good thing for you to stay in the Taiwei Mansion. What you need now is no longer accumulating documents." Ye Zhao looked at Fa Zheng and said seriously: "I think you should go to the battlefield to see the real battlefield."
"I have this intention!" Fa Zheng bowed and said.
The chief clerk belongs to the officials, from the three dukes and nine ministers, from the prefectures, counties and even county towns, there are a few chief clerks around him. However, as the status and salary of the serving masters will change accordingly, their salary will be paid by these officials, and the court will not give them salary.
Therefore, the chief clerk was just a false position given by Ye Zhao to Fa Zheng. If you want to have official positions like Xi Zhicai, Li Ru, Man Chong, etc., you still need to speak out with merits. Fa Zheng first entered the official career and was the strongest time to make a strong career, so he was naturally unwilling to be a chief clerk under Ye Zhao. Even if the chief clerk has a high status, officials in the two prefectures of Yong and Shu may not dare to offend him. But this is just a matter of Ye Zhao's face. With Fa Zheng's current aura, he naturally does not want to rely on other people's reputation to pretend to be a powerful person. What he needs is not only status, but a platform for himself to grow and show his talents.
Such a platform is definitely not something that the chief clerk can give him.
"It just so happens that Xu Rong has led a large army to fight against Hetao. I will appoint you as a Sima of another department and go to Xu Rong's tent to listen to me. I hope Xiaozhi will not disappoint me." Ye Zhao took an arrow from the table and handed it to Fa Zheng: "Don't expect any preferential treatment. When you come to the army, military orders are the main ones. You have to listen to Xu Rong. Even if he wants to kill you, I can't stop you!"
"Don't worry, lord!" Fa Zheng took the arrow and said with a polite look.
Sima of other departments is a military officer. Although there are soldiers under the tent, whether they can fight alone does not have the autonomy to do so depends on the meaning of the commander. On Ye Zhao's side, Sima of other departments is generally a general who governs the ministry-level troops (400 people). He is responsible for passing the superior military orders during the war and is also qualified to enter the account to conduct military affairs. However, he has no right to speak and can only give advice. As for whether the commander will use it, it depends on the commander's meaning.
Although he recognized Fazheng's talent and Fazheng in history was indeed an excellent strategist and military advisor, this was the first time Fazheng participated in a war. Ye Zhao would not put him in a too high position to avoid being unable to deal with it. Now Ye Zhao has enough time to allow Fazheng to grow steadily, and there are many capable people in the army. It is definitely not a good thing for Fazheng to put Fazheng in a too high position as soon as he came up.
"Give you a team of elite soldiers as guards, and they will take you to find Xu Rong's army. As for how to arrange it after entering the army, that is Xu Rong's business." Then, Dian Wei asked Fa Zheng to take him to lead the people.
"The lord said that he was selfless, but in fact he was still partial!" After Fa Zheng left, Xi Zhicai looked at Ye Zhao and said with a smile.
Dian Wei personally went to choose a relative guard for Fa Zheng and Fa Zheng to take the token to get people by himself. As Ye Zhao's personal guard and a brave general who is the most brave general in the army, Dian Wei's prestige in the army is no less than that of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, especially in many cases, Dian Wei is not very reasonable. Those who manage the soldiers will definitely choose the best one for Dian Wei. If Fa Zheng goes by himself, he will not be treated as such. He will not be embarrassed, but he will not specifically choose the best one for him.
Moreover, Xu Rong is also a veteran, how could he not notice Ye Zhao’s meaning?
"This person has good abilities. He is the first to go to the battlefield and should have preferential treatment within the scope. I don't want such a person to die." Ye Zhao smiled and shook his head and said, "Is there any war coming from the front line?"
Calculate it, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun have been sending troops for several days, and they should have been in contact with the Huns at this moment.
"Yes." Li Ru nodded and said, "But only Zilong. Three days ago, Zilong had already captured Sheyan. Seven tribes of all sizes were annihilated, more than 3,000 beheaded, and more than 10,000 herders were captured. After receiving the order, he stationed in the Sheyanshui area and waited for Xu Rong's army."
"The Southern Xiongnu population is not large, and more than 10,000 people are already a good record, but the methods are still a little gentler." Ye Zhao shook his head. Although Zhao Yun had also seen Hu Wei, he did not serve in Gongsun Zan's army as in history. He joined Ye Zhao's tent as soon as he became an official.
In recent years, Ye Zhao has spared no effort to cultivate Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun has also made great efforts. The shortcomings in military strategy have been made up for almost the best. Now he can be considered a general. When necessary, he can stand alone, but he is a little kind and righteous in his bones. According to Ye Zhao's prediction, more than 10,000 were captured and even more of the Huns killed.
It’s not Ye Zhao’s cold-blooded and cruelty, but because this is not a dispute within the Han Dynasty, but a racial dispute. Ye Zhao wants to enslave the Huns. The population of the Huns, especially the so-called string control man left too many, and the resistance he would encounter in the future would be greater. Before going to the expedition, Ye Zhao had already instructed him that no matter the reason, the Huns’ height is more than the wheels... Kill! If a woman resists, it is the same word!
Now it seems that Zhao Yun obviously failed to take this move!
It seems that Zhao Yun is obviously not suitable to participate in this kind of genocide battle. Ye Zhao clicked the table and said, "Well, after Xu Rong arrived, he should teach Zhao Yun a lesson. Is there any news from Yun Chang?"
"There has not been any news, but..." Li Ru hesitated for a moment, saw Ye Zhao's eyes looking at him, and bowed and said, "According to the news from Zilong, from Zoumashui to Shangjun, the thirteen Hun tribes of all sizes have disappeared. As for General Guan's troops, they have never been explored."
"Also!" Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao and said with a wry smile: "The prefect of Shangjun seems to have had contact with General Guan, and took the initiative to surrender to our army and was willing to bring Shangjun under our army."
Shangjun belongs to Bingzhou, but is west of the Yellow River. The Sheyan, which Zhao Yun conquered, is the county under Shangjun, but it has been occupied by the Huns since a few years ago.
Not only that, Shangjun has many county towns, including Kushi, Kucha, Yuanyin, Yuanyang, Baitu, Dingyang and other nine counties. However, in fact, only the two cities of Yuanyin and Yuanyang are controlled by the prefect's prefect. Most of the other cities are Qiang and Han, Huhan, Qiang and Hu. Qiang and Hu have great power in these places, and the prefect's prefect's prefect's prefect is hard to control. Most of the officials sent were dead. Although the prefect surrendered this time, although it sounds nice in name, it is actually just the two counties of Yuanyin and Yuanyang.
However, since Ye Zhao wanted to take Hetao, Shangjun must indeed occupy it, otherwise Hetao would become an enclave. Now that the prefect of Shangjun surrendered, he would provoke Yuan Shao because of this, even if there was no such thing, the relationship between the two sides would be shameful, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
"This is a good thing. Can the prefect of Shangjun know where Chief Yun is going?" Ye Zhao nodded, without much concern. Yuan Shao is busy dealing with Liu Bei now. Ye Zhao doesn't think that Yuan Shao would come to fight with him stupidly before he dealt with Liu Bei. Even if he dealt with Liu Bei, he might not dare to fight with him. Cao Cao was in the Central Plains. At this time, if he had the chance, he would definitely pounce on him and take a bite.
"I just said that I was going north, but the specific direction was unknown. Zilong had sent someone to explore it. It may take a few days to get the news back." Li Rudao.
Ye Zhao nodded. This was the news from three days ago. Now that the communication is behind, even if there is a Fei Ge sending a letter, it will take time to send the news back. In Chang'an, Ye Zhao finds it difficult to get the most timely news, which is also the reason why Ye Zhao wants to go on the battle in person.
"It seems that Chang Yun wants to take risks again!" Ye Zhao frowned, sat in the main seat and shook his head.
Guan Yu is like his sword, very good at attacking, but he is weak in succession. Although he can achieve great achievements, he can easily put himself in danger. If he wins, he will naturally make a big fortune and gain a lot. Just like the last surprise attack on Chang'an, it directly led to the entire occupation completely falling to Ye Zhao's side. However, once he fails, the price will be absolutely heavy. It is certain that the entire army will be wiped out. If he doesn't do it well, he will even lose his life. But this is a personal style. If Guan Yu does not have this characteristic, he may just be a top-notch general in force.
"I inform Xu Rong to try to maintain the distance between the troops and the front-line battle situation, and send it back to Luoyang as soon as possible by flying pigeons." Ye Zhao said in a deep voice.
