I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 269 Northwest is rotten to the core ([-])
As the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the king of a country, there were some things Liu Long really shouldn't say.

But until now Liu Long has not figured out that Zhong Guang, Du Hui and Sheng Bao are not incompetent people. They are all veterans of the northwest.

How could one do such a thing in vain of military orders?

And at that time, the decision they made was really stupid. The Qiang and Hu were not as weak as they thought, especially since the Qiang and Hu general had already eliminated Pang Shen.

In total, they were the ones who were being attacked from both sides. As a result, the stupidity of Zhong Guang, Du Hui, and Sheng Bao directly led to a series of problems later.

Because Zhongguang and others violated Sima Jun's control and dispatch, the troops dispersed deeply. As a result, they allowed the Qiang and Hu to react directly outside and surrounded them.

Sima Jun was in the city at the time, and of course he was extremely angry about this situation. Moreover, Sima Jun never thought of going to the rescue from the beginning to the end.

There are different opinions on his approach.

A few of them said that Sima Jun found out about the Qiang and Hu and set up an ambush. This clearly meant that he wanted to trick Sima Jun out and then carry out encirclement and suppression.

Most of them think that Sima Jun is a bit of a coward and does not understand the true meaning of the matter!

At this time, he was annoyed that these people kept giving orders, so he refused to send troops to rescue. In the end, Zhongguang, Du Hui, and Shengbao were all killed in the battle, and more than [-] of his troops also died in the battle!

And Ding Xicheng, which was finally defeated, also failed to hold in the end.

As for Sima Jun, the general who conquered the west, he was also captured directly.

This battle was an important turning point in the northwest battlefield. Before this battle, the two sides were relatively stable, and the Han Dynasty had an absolute advantage overall.

After all, in terms of numbers and logistics, the big man far outnumbered the other party.

But in this battle, the big man didn't suffer much loss, but it greatly affected his morale.

The most important thing is that the Qiang and Hu seem to have seen many problems in the big man, and a large number of Qiang and Hu have turned around and joined the ranks of Xianling Qiang.

Let the Xianling Qiang's power grow again, which led to the Han's current predicament.

The reason why Yu Xu said this was also very simple. He found that the court, or rather the Queen Mother, had once again fallen into a situation where everything was inevitable.

In the past, it was the emphasis on literature over martial arts that caused the Han Dynasty to have many problems. This time, in order to eliminate the children of aristocratic families, in order to promote people from poor families and those who are not even poor families.

Once again, the border army encountered a huge problem.

"Your Majesty, there are some words that I probably shouldn't say, but I think your Majesty has noticed them.

In recent years, the imperial court has deliberately suppressed the children of those aristocratic families, so as to reuse ordinary children from poor families such as Chen, or even ordinary children who are not poor families, into the court.

Therefore, in the successive battles in the northwest, although Liang Jin, the general of the Liao Dynasty, also made mistakes, he was forgiven many times, and he was promoted step by step to the position of the general of the Liao Dynasty.

And now Pang Shen, the governor of Youzhou, committed a capital crime, but instead of being executed, he was pardoned by the Queen Mother and reused.

This is of course the skill of General Liang Jin and Commander Pang Shen.

But there are also some people who see something wrong with it.

For example, Zhong Guang, Du Hui, Sheng Bao and others who were under Ding Xi City were all from the same background as the ministers, or even worse than the ministers.

They did have some merit, so they were reused by the court.

I cannot deny the talent of this class of people, but Your Majesty must also understand that these people are talented, but they are more proud of being promoted one after another.They knew very well that even if they did something wrong and ended up causing trouble in the court or in front of the Queen Mother, given their background, they could avoid most of the punishment.

That's why they dared to ignore Gu Jun's order!
General Zhengxi was the commander-in-chief of the army appointed by the imperial court. Even if Zhongguang, Du Hui, and Shengbao did not die in battle, they would still be executed for violating military orders.

Even if they were victorious and finally killed them, others would have nothing to say.

But why do they still dare to do this?

After all, isn't it because they know very well that they have a bad background?

He was born in a bad family, but now he has become an honorable person in this big man, and even has the possibility of avoiding death.

Your Majesty also knows that General Ren Shang has repeatedly had problems in recent years, but why he is still being re-employed one after another is not because his background is too low.

Until now, it is still unclear whether he was born in Bashu or a branch of the Ren family. Such people with no background are exactly the kind of people the Queen Mother needs to suppress the children of the aristocratic family.

And many of General Ren Shang's subordinates also had such characters.

They have talent, but they also have problems.

If their talents are far greater than their problems, then so be it.

But now, their problems have been exposed one by one, including greed, arrogance, and even underestimation of the enemy and disregard for the overall situation. Such things will cause big problems on the battlefield.

If it is not stopped, the war in the northwest will never end.

Even if they try to end this war by force in the end, I'm afraid they won't use their skills on the battlefield, but will do something casual.

Of course, I'm not saying that you can't settle the battle by just trying to settle things.

But this kind of fighting, even if it killed one or two people who were extremely important to the Qiang and Hu, plunged them into chaos.

But these Qiang and Hu people are still unconvinced. It may take as long as a few years or as short as a few months. They can calm down their internal chaos and many problems, and then they will come back again.

I will still have to continue fighting when the time comes, and it is still full of all kinds of problems.

If you want to pacify the northwest and completely stabilize those alien races, there is only one way, and that is to completely defeat them on the battlefield and completely defeat them! "

Yu Xu also spoke very seriously at this time, making Ban Xiong and Ban Yong on the side nod repeatedly.

They naturally saw these things, but their identities were hard to say.

Yu Xu, on the other hand, is not afraid. He is not afraid to speak out about this kind of thing even if he sees it.

At the same time, he also gave his own solution.

"The reason why I want your Majesty to protect Ma Rong is actually to ask your Majesty to make some moves to tell Ren Shang and the generals under Ren Shang.

Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are not the same kind of people. There are some things that Your Majesty will not be so tolerant of them. This is a warning to them.

If they are still ignorant, then don't worry about His Majesty being rude to them. "

"Use Ma Rong to encourage them." At this time, Liu Long couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this, "Why don't you just say that you are using Ma Rong as a spearman!"
