Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 439 The most satisfying test paper
Zhao Mu looked carefully at the discussion written by this person.

The strategy he wrote was quite in line with Zhao Mu's thoughts. This is because he evaluated Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, etc. like Sima Qian did.

Instead, we start from the situation change between Han and Hungary.

First of all, he affirmed the legitimacy and necessity of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to attack the Xiongnu in the north. Then he quoted Su Xun's Theory of the Six Kingdoms, saying that the Huns were just as greedy and violent as the tiger and wolf Qin. It's just that blindly flattering is not a long-term solution, but will only encourage the arrogance of thieves. Therefore, whether it is for the sake of the national system or the stability of the country, this battle must be fought.

And Zhao Mu was also surprised to find that this man put forward the theory of "hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches". Although the discussion is not this way, the core idea is this.

Moreover, he also explained in detail the first battle of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu, the political importance of Wei Qing's victory over the Dragon City, etc.

As for Wei and Huo, they took over Hetao, Rouge Mountain, and Qilian Mountain. The wolf was sealed in Xu, the horse drank from the vast sea, and there was no king's court in Monan. All of this will be described in detail.

The most important thing is that he specifically criticized Sima Qian and Li Ling in his articles.

To say that Sima Qian was talking nonsense to avenge the humiliation of being punished by corruption is below the level of a historian.

It is said that Li Ling was greedy for life and afraid of death, had no sense of shame, had no ambition to kill himself and surrendered to the Huns, and was a coward who was afraid of death.

Zhao Ponu was also captured and returned to the Xiongnu court, but he also ran back with his son.

It doesn't matter if you lose the battle, it doesn't matter if the whole army is wiped out. Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists.

Mencius said, "Life is what I want, righteousness is what I want, and those who sacrifice life for righteousness are also what I want."

Zhang Qian lived in the Xiongnu for several years and had a wife and children. But he still found an opportunity to sneak away, and not only did he successfully slip away, but he also successfully completed his mission as an envoy to the Han Dynasty, and finally slipped back to Chang'an to meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He served as the front line for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to open up the Western Regions.

Zhao Mu quite agreed with this candidate and Li Ling's evaluation.

Compared with them, Li Ling's surrender was really useless.

As for Su Wu, even if he was thrown to the North Sea to shepherd sheep, he would not surrender.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty originally asked him to supervise the transportation of grain and grass and do the logistics work for Li Guangli.

Even if Li Ling did not commit suicide, if he was captured but did not surrender, he would still be a man of integrity. After all, there were not a few Han people detained and captured by the Xiongnu at that time. Su Wu, Zhang Qian, Li Guang, and Zhao Ponu were all prisoners of the Huns.

But Li Ling had to volunteer and go into battle to kill the enemy. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also told him clearly that there were too many troops sent this time and there were no cavalry allocated to him.

As for Li Guang, although he was captured alive by the Huns during the northern campaign against the Huns, he escaped back by his own ability. There was no surrender either.

After all, Li Ling is the kind of person who loves food and loves to play. I don’t have any diamonds, so I want to do the porcelain work.

As a result, Li Ling uttered wild words, saying that he did not need horses and was willing to attack more with less, and used 5,000 infantry to attack the Xiongnu royal court.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious when Li Ling surrendered, and Zhao Mu felt it was understandable.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed in his evil deeds and gave him 5,000 infantrymen to try. As a result, Li Ling violated a military taboo and went deep into the army alone, and he was suddenly trapped.

And this candidate also attacked and criticized Li Ling from these aspects. This really got into Zhao Mu's heart.

At this time, Zhao Mu also noticed the name of this candidate. His name was "Hu Yanrui".

In the Song Dynasty, there were not many people with the surname Huyan, and the surname written above him was from Bianjing. Since he lives in the capital, he is most likely related to Prince Zhongxiao's Mansion. But after thinking about it, Zhao Mu felt that there was no one in the Zhongxiao Wang family like him.

King Zhongxiao had no concubines and only had three daughters and one son. The eldest daughter and the third daughter have long since married and are no longer in the capital, and only the crown prince is left in the palace of Zhongxiao. Zhao Mu's eldest brother-in-law, the second son Hu Yanxian, and Zhao Mu's wife's youngest daughter Hu Yanjin.

Zhao Mu thought to himself: "Perhaps he is a member of the Zhongxiao Prince's family branch."

Zhao Mu felt that this was a possibility. After all, when he was newly promoted to prince, her eldest sister had brought several names of official ladies. In addition to those named Shi, there were also several named Huyan.

Zhao Mu looked at his paper. He now wondered if someone leaked the questions to him, so he answered so well?
However, Zhao Mu quickly rejected his idea. Leaving aside the questions of the palace examination, no one else knew about it except him and Zhe Zong. And he had never mentioned it to anyone else, so even if he leaked the topic, it would be Zhezong himself who leaked the topic.

Moreover, since Hu Yanjin married into Prince Qi's Mansion, apart from returning to Prince Zhongxiao's Mansion three or four times, Hu Yanjin almost never leaves home the rest of the time, either drinking tea with Mu Wanqing or practicing martial arts with her. Or just have a sparring match with Mei Lan Zhu Ju. It was impossible for her to vent the problem.

However, Zhao Mu admired him very much. If he was really from the Huyan family, even if he was from a separate family, there would be at least one in the family with the title of Founding Son or Founding Male.

As a son of a noble, he actually didn't want to find a back door for him, but relied on his own ability to pass the palace examination. Zhao Mu admired him very much.

After a day of big exams, the palace exam is finally over. The candidates who participated in the palace examination saluted Zhao Mu amidst the ritual music of the Ministry of Etiquette, and then left the Jiying Palace one after another. Zhao Mu also sealed the papers for the palace examination and went home directly.

That night, Hu Yanjin was making the bed, and Mu Wanqing had already laid down to rest.

Hu Yanjin asked: "Ms. sir, you have been busy all day, why don't you rest?"

Zhao Mu looked at Hu Yanjin and said nothing.

Seeing Zhao Mu's eyes, Hu Yanjin said, "Okay, I understand. As she said that, she began to unbutton her inner lining."

Zhao Mu waved his hand and said, "I'm not busy now. I have something to ask Jin'er."

Hu Yanjin and Mu Wanqing were both surprised when they heard Zhao Mu's words.

Mu Wanqing sat up and said, "Oh! Why did you change your temper today?"

Zhao Mu also untied his clothes, got on the bed, and got in between the two of them. He put his arm around one of them and said, "This is not a change of character, it's just a serious matter."

Zhao Mu asked Hu Yanjin: "By the way, Jin'er, do you know Hu Yanrui?"

Hu Yanjin's eyes were fixed on Zhao Mu's hands that kept wandering around her body, and then she looked at Zhao Mu with contempt.

Hu Yanjin replied: "Of course I know her. She is my cousin. What's wrong?"

Zhao Mu said: "He is your cousin?"

Hu Yanjin nodded and said, "Yes. My uncle's son. Why did you suddenly mention him? Do you have a crush on Qier?"

"Ah? Who is Qier?" Zhao Mu murmured.

Hu Yanjin replied: "My cousin, she is my uncle's youngest daughter. Previously, my mother-in-law entrusted my sister-in-law to tell you about several girls from the Huyan branch family, including her."

Zhao Mu waved his hand and said: "What a mess, I mean he participated in the Enke competition this time, and not only was he shortlisted for the palace examination, but his results were also quite good. So are you, Jin'er. Since you are a relative of the Huyan family, how can you Why don't you recommend him to me? I'll do it secretly."
