Chapter 209 Time and Fate

Seeing that the matter was almost finished, Huo Shan turned his gaze to Sang Hongyang, smiled, and said:
"After the feast is over, Mr. Sang, I hope you can wait for a while. I still have some things to discuss with Mr. Sang."

Sang Hongyang also raised his hand and saluted with a smile on his face:

"promise."

Huo Shan nodded, then looked around the crowd, stood up with a smile and bowed to the crowd and said:

"Then, the grandfathers and uncles chatted first, and Zihou went out to take a look around. Today, my champion's mansion is hosting a banquet. It's not good for me, the master, to not show up."

Liu Ju and Gongsun He nodded with a smile, and Wei Qing also waved:
"go Go."

Everyone else got up and saw them off.

After everyone sat down again, looking at Huo Shan's back, Liu Ju sighed and said:
"My nephew, who was named the Grand Sima at the age of 16, has his own abilities.

This palace feels a little closed, and now it seems that it is indeed the case.

A genius is not enough to describe it. "

If you want to say who these words in today's hall have the greatest impact on, it must be the crown prince Liu Ju.

He doesn't know how to command and fight, but he has read some military books, and he has a little theoretical knowledge.

And with his identity, he has come into contact with many things and learned a lot.

Especially following Liu Che's side for more than a month, governing the country, brought back those memories of his period of supervising the country.

To be able to sit firmly as the crown prince, he naturally has some skills, if he is really an idiot, even Wei Huo will not support him.

If Huo Shan hadn't taught him a lesson today, he wouldn't know that wars can be done without spending money, not only without spending money but also making money, can you believe that?
Not to mention that this kind of big man can mobilize 10,000+ alien soldiers and horses without dispatching many soldiers and horses, and launch a war of hundreds of thousands.

Not to mention Liu Shi, everyone in the hall, even Wei Qing, thought so.

In their eyes, Huo Shan's set of operations was simply a legend.

Go to the Xiongnu to recruit soldiers and rob supplies, and then take these surrendered troops and supplies to fight the Western Regions. Is it true that this time they will grab some more from the Western Regions and come back to fight the Huns?

No one has ever played like this before. Who dares to put their confidence on outsiders in military matters!

In fact, Huo Shan did not only have confidence in himself.

Various factors such as the changing situation now gave him confidence.

Moreover, there are two armies and four schools in the headquarters, and Huangzhong Yicong with nearly 2 horses.

Even if something happened to Xiongnu Yicong, who was very unlikely to have an accident, he would not be afraid. At worst, he just retreated. Who can stop him?
Not to mention that after the last war, these Huns were loyal and fanatical to him.

With this [-] army, even if you add [-] Qiang people to the [-] troops from the Western Regions, the total is [-], and Huo Shan is not afraid.

The 20 military households behind him are also one of his confidence.

The Western Regions are a mess, and the attitude of the Qiang people is one of his confidence.

The Qiang people's attitude towards the Western Regions is much worse than that of the big Han.

Moreover, their thinking mode is different from that of the Han people, and it is more extreme than that of the Huns.

A real predator of the jungle, and they are not as smart now as they are 1000 years from now.

After all, the Huns were a great empire of tribal alliances, and they had their own system.

Although it is too far behind the big man, it is the result of the difference between the two civilizations.

But the Qiang people have never had a unified alliance. They all exist in the form of scattered tribes, which are even more backward than the Xiongnu.

In the sixth year of the Yuanding Dynasty, the Qiang people attacked the Han Dynasty. It was also thanks to the Xiongnu and the Western Regions who dealt with each other that the scattered Qiang people were united.

The reason is still because of the strategic deployment of the Han Dynasty to defeat the Xiongnu in the north and chase the Qiangs to the west. The actions taken in Longxi and other places made the Qiang people have a sense of crisis.

This gave the Xiongnu and the Western Regions a chance to intervene.

You all unite together, go fight the big guys, we will pay for the food.

The Huns are easy to understand, in order to trouble the big man, if your big man can cut off the arms of my Huns, then my Huns can also attack on both sides.

As for the payment of money and food from the Western Regions, one reason is that the Xiongnu obstructed it and instigated it behind the scenes, and the other reason is very simple.

For the countries in the Western Regions, the Han and the Qiang people are threats to them. If I pay a little money, no matter who wins, it will be beneficial to me.

The big man understands very well, the four counties in Hexi have been opened up, the Western Regions feel threatened, and there is also the big brother Xiongnu instigated.

The Qiang people are more threatening to them than the big Han.

Because the oasis grasslands in the Western Regions are more attractive to the Qiang people than the Han Dynasty, and they are also separated by a mountain range, so the distance is closer.

If it weren't for the Qilian Mountains and other long series of mountains that blocked the road, the Guangqiang people would be able to ignore the Western Regions.

This is also the reason why the Qiang people have been staring at Longxi and other places, and it is also the reason why the deployment of troops by the Han in Longxi, Hexi and other places has touched their nerves.

Because if they want to expand and occupy better pastures, there is only one way down the mountain.

For them, the terrain in the southwest is high, and the more they go, the more barren they go, and the southeast is dense forests, nomads can't get in.

In the north, there are mountain ranges such as Qilian, which cannot be crossed, but if you go all the way to the west, you can reach the Western Regions and other places, but the road is full of deserts and Gobi, and there is no one in ten along the way.

So their breakthrough is only east to north, that is, Longxi and other places.

If they break through, they will be able to occupy Longxi, attack Hexi, and then attack the Western Regions one after another. They can attack the Han and retreat to the Western Regions.

And this piece of oasis grassland is quite fertile.

Therefore, they have always had ambitions, but they just don't have the strength.

What Huo Shan was afraid of was not that they had ambitions, but that they had no ambitions.

And if you study it, the law of the jungle is vividly and exquisitely embodied in them.

As long as you give them bones and the strength to make them obedient, then they will be very obedient.

If you want to make them surrender and be loyal to you, it is very difficult and almost impossible. They have more white-eyed wolves than the Huns.

But if you just need a pack of ferocious wolves to help you charge into battle, then they're the ones for you.

Huo Shan would not put himself in a dangerous situation when doing things, and he did not have a certain certainty in his heart that he would not do such a thing.

He would not entrust such a big matter to a foreign race for the sake of enthusiasm and to make the big man less sacrificed.

It is precisely because he has absolute certainty in his heart that he will do this kind of thing.

In fact, the Xiongnu and Qiang people are also descendants of Yanhuang Miao, which is considered unanimous to the outside world, isn't it!

.........

"Zihou is really powerful, I am ashamed of myself!

Not to mention anything else, but Zihou's method of training troops has more than doubled the discipline of the soldiers in all counties of the Han Dynasty, and increased the combat power by [-]%. "

After Wei Qing stroked his beard, the group of people were startled, and Gongsun He asked on the spot:
"Is it really that high?"

"That's natural. Although the soldiers of the various counties can't do as well as Habayashi and Huben, it is very effective to practice every three to five days.

Moreover, after the service soldiers learned it, they brought it back to the village, and organized it to practice in their spare time. After all, it is the method of military training passed down by the champion, and the common people are very concerned about it.

Guanzhong and the Six Counties already have a foundation, and they are very quick to get started, and they have already achieved initial results. "

Everyone praised, and then Sang Hongyang said:
"Not only in terms of military warfare, but also the plows, mills, waterwheels, etc. in farming have greatly increased my strength, and various economic measures, as well as the method of making salt, have greatly increased my wealth."

Du Zhou quickly added the following:
"There is also the law. The few laws proposed by the princes while chatting before are very effective."

Liu Ju saw what they said was in full swing, so he also interjected:
"Don't forget that there is still literature, "Thousand Character Essay", today's commentary, should become a must-have for elementary school, and benefit many students!"

Everyone chatted freely, but they didn't know if they didn't talk, and they were shocked when they talked.

They found that Huo Shan really knew everything, not only knew everything, but also mastered everything, and he was able to achieve achievements that no one before him could do. This is amazing!
As they talked, everyone fell silent, because they all thought of a question in unison.

Guo Huiyiyao!
Worry lingered in the eyes of several people, and they were all a little worried about this issue.

A few of them watched Huo Shan grow up step by step, and a few of them were relatives.

Not only Liu Che, they all regarded Huo Shan as the future hope of the great man.

Huo Shan ascended to the top of the court at the age of 16, and none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty had any objections.

Even if it was because of the struggle, they were secretly dissatisfied and contended against each other, but they were still convinced by Huo Shan in their hearts.

Just like Liu Shi is the next emperor recognized by the Han Dynasty, Huo Shan is also the No. 1 emperor recognized by the Han Dynasty.

All this is because Huo Shan is too good and has a good personality.

You know, Huo Qubing sat in this position at twenty, and there are still many people who have opinions, while Huo Shan is only sixteen.

Although they have the foundation to beat Huo Qubing, but Huo Shan is more convinced than Huo Qubing, that's for sure.

Of course, there is a comparison to this good personality. Compared to Wei Qing, they naturally don't like it, but it is much better than Old Huo Ke.

At least he won't humiliate people at every turn, and he knows how to share the benefits and lead everyone to the battle.

The hearts of these people in the hall are not pure except for Du Zhou, and everyone else is working hard for the big man.

Abandoning personal feelings, such an outstanding person, they naturally don't want him to die prematurely.

And another important reason is Liu Che.

After Huo Qubing's untimely death, they saw all the changes in Liu Che. If something happened to Huo Shan again, the consequences could not be described as serious.

But everyone else was worried, only Liu Ju was still sitting with a smile on his face, no trace of worry could be seen on his face.

Because he knew a piece of news, including Wei Qing, that everyone in the hall didn't know, except him, which was only known by one person.

That is, Huo Shan is the one chosen by Gao Zu to revitalize the great Han.

With the blessing of Gaozu, do you still need to worry about this problem?
But at the moment Liu Zheng is both happy and panicked.

He's not a fool. Liu Che told himself such secret news that only he knew. It's self-evident, so that's why he was happy.

And the panic is because the news can't be said!
He could only watch them worrying. For some reason, Liu Ju felt a little relieved. He really liked the feeling that only he knew and everyone else was kept in the dark.

The reason why he couldn't say it was that Liu Che had told him that the news needed to be kept in his stomach so as not to harm Huo Shan. He understood the stakes, so naturally he wouldn't say it.

In fact, Liu Che derived a lot of ideas from this situation.

For example, Huo Shan was chosen by Gaozu, so would Huo Qubing be the same?

The previous Huo Qubing Gaozu didn't tell him that he didn't protect him well, so he let the thieves seize the opportunity, leading to his untimely death.

But Gao Zu was worried that the same mistakes would happen again, so Huo Shan directly explained the situation this time, and made him pay attention to it, so that the previous situation cannot happen again.

And the subsequent Xiao Hei, the champion, and the wolves once again proved the fact that Gao Zu chose this.

These things are rare beasts sent by Gaozu to Zihou!

There are also all kinds of whimsical ideas, methods of self-cultivation and so on.

Part of the reason for Liu Che's reassurance and love for Huo Shan is also for this reason.

Don't look at Huo Shan being assassinated this time, apart from being furious at the beginning, Liu Che was very calm on the surface, but he was actually terrified in his heart.

And so many criminal evidences have been pinched for so many years, why did they not do it sooner or later, but why did they do it at this time?
Apart from Huo Shanliwei and Liu Che not being afraid of them, there is also a part of the reason for the great purge.

Dare to brazenly attack in Chang'an City, is that okay?

This made him more convinced that the Huo family father and son were chosen by Gao Zu just like himself.

They're all a bunch of bad guys, and they don't even see him as a big guy!
Hmph, maybe they are all Baidi's subordinates.

And his suspicion was heavy, and it happened to be used to benefit Huo Shan. He didn't doubt Huo Shan, but suspicious of other people.

In the beginning, Liu Che just planted an impression in his heart. As Huo Shan brought out more things, things became more bizarre, and Huo Shan became more confident, Liu Che naturally became more and more convinced of this.

In the future, as Huo Shanli made more military achievements and received more assassinations, Liu Che would feel more at ease with Huo Shan.

After all, how could there be a problem with the person Gaozu chose?
To deny Huo Shan is to deny oneself, after all, he is also the person chosen by Gao Zu.

All his great achievements are fake?

Is Huo Qubing's Fenglang Juxu also fake?

Everything about Huo Zihou is fake?
is it possible?Obviously impossible.

So things went the opposite way from the norm from the very beginning.

High meritorious deeds become an empty talk, while higher meritorious deeds become a reality.

Putting it on others is impossible in other eras.

But in this era, in Liu Che and the Huo family's father and son, it really is so natural.

Liu Che, the old emperor's suspicion, superstition, his own personality, plus the geniuses of the Huo family and his son, made things impossible for ordinary people to accomplish.

The combination of the two, together with the ideological influence of this era, everything is so logical.

It can only be said that it is time and fate!
