Chapter 1266 Returning to the Master(1/3)
"My lord, my lord!"
Hu Fen quickly came to his master. Although he lowered his voice as much as possible, he could not hide the excitement in his tone:
"The Central Protectorate sent an order to Hao'er, asking him to pretend to be the captain of Guan Guan and lead a group of troops to rule Tianjing Pass!"
Duwei is originally the name of a military attaché.
It already existed in the pre-Qin period.
After Emperor Gaozu founded the country, he inherited the Qin system, and each county had a county lieutenant to assist the prefect in charge of military affairs.
Later, Emperor Xiaojing changed the title of Commander-in-Chief to Commander-in-Chief.
In addition to the captains in charge of the military affairs in the counties, the former Han Dynasty also had the captains of Guan who were in charge of Guancheng, the captains of farmers who were in charge of border counties and farming, and the captains who managed the vassal states of various ethnic groups.
It even has nothing to do with military affairs, such as the Fengcha Captain who is in charge of the emperor's vehicles, etc.
Emperor Guangwu re-established the Han Dynasty and took over the military of all counties in the world. As an official title, the name of Duwei changed from broad to narrow.
For example, the provincial governors only retain the border commanders and vassal commanders.
Until the great chaos in the world a few decades ago, princes from all over the country were conferring official positions privately, and official titles in the military had become rampant.
Take the position of captain as an example. In the past, its status was second only to the generals.
But now, except for the captains with specific titles, the rest of the so-called captains have been reduced to shorthand names for low-level generals in the army.
With the proliferation of official titles, Guancheng Captain was naturally reactivated.
Hu Fen, the "fake captain of the pass", governs Tianjing Pass, which means he is the acting guard of Tianjing Pass.
The reason why he is an agent is because this military order was issued by the Protectorate on the front line.
If you want to become a formal guard general, you need to report to the court and obtain the emperor's consent.
However, this is just a formality, because the Emperor of the Han Dynasty will basically not reject the military arrangements of the Central Protectorate.
Not to mention that after the battle in the fourth year of Yanxi's reign, the Central Protectorate's governorship of internal and external military affairs was worthy of its name and unshakable.
Hu Fen was promoted this time.
"Tianjing Pass is an important pass in Taihang Mountain. The Central Protector asked you to guard this pass because he values you."
As the commander-in-chief of Tu Chen's army, Hu Zun had obviously received the news.
But he just nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Then he warned somewhat solemnly:
"Tianjing Pass is to Taihangxing, just like Huguan is to Baixing. You have also seen the consequences of Baixing's loss."
"Guanzhong was shaken, and Bingzhou was almost lost. If you go to guard Tianjing Pass, you must be careful in everything."
If Huguan is lost, the party will not be protected.
But if you lose Tianjing Pass, you will lose at most half of Shangdang.
It's just that some words are better to be said harshly than lightly.
Don’t you see, Wei Yan, a great Han veteran, is almost as powerful as the Central Protector.
If he accidentally loses control of the party, we have yet to hear how the court will deal with him, but it is almost foreseeable that he will be regarded as old and incompetent by the world.
He is brave and good at fighting all his life, but in his later years he will be ridiculed by others.
Although the blame is self-inflicted, it still makes people sigh and lament.
When Hu Fen heard his master mention Wei Yan, he couldn't help but feel a little disapproving.
Who in the army today doesn't know that Wei Yan was self-willed, didn't know people well, underestimated the enemy's carelessness, and was greedy for merit and advanced rashly, which led to the loss of Shangdang?
Not to mention there are rumors that Wei Yan has always been at odds with the Protector of Zhongdu.
Who is the Central Protector?
There are ten battles of talents in the world, and Feng Mingwen has eight of them.
Why don't men carry a horizontal sword, destroy thieves and revive the Han Dynasty to gain fame?
He was well prepared in both civil and military affairs, and he was a general and a prime minister. This was an example that countless young and ambitious men in the Han Dynasty would emulate.
Young people are passionate and have a clear understanding of love and hate.
Hu Fen, who wants to make meritorious deeds, is no exception - since when has Wei Yan become worthy of being compared with the mountain chief?
Seeing Hu Fen's look, Hu Zun didn't know what his son was thinking.
But his expression turned serious:
"Wenchang Wei is an old man who was promoted by the late emperor. He has a long history of military exploits and is also a kindhearted emperor of the Han Dynasty."
"But once you lose control of the party due to carelessness, it will be difficult for you to lead troops to defend one side in the future!"
"Your father, I once attached myself to a rebellious traitor. Although I gave up the rebellion and followed the upright ones, my qualifications are far from those of Wei Yan."
"But now not only can you lead one of the eight armies in Guanzhong, but you can also surpass several levels and enter the eyes of the Central Protector. Do you know why?"
Hu Fen knew clearly that there was something else in his father's words, but he still said: Ji
"Of course it's because the child fought hard in front of the battle, made numerous military exploits, and reported it to the mountain chief."
"snort!"
Hu Zun sneered:
"In the Han army, who is not marching forward bravely in the hope of achieving military success? Are there any who are timid?"
At this point, he paused:
"Especially the classmates who came out of the martial arts hall with you, if they had the opportunity like you, would one of them lag behind you?"
The Anding Hu clan, represented by Hu Zun, completely fell to the Han Dynasty after the battle at Xiaoguan.
Hu Fen, the son of Hu Zun, was specially recommended to study in the martial arts hall because he was more strategic and less good at martial arts. This is why he admired Feng.
After all, I want to call him the chief of the mountain.
Not to mention the reserve officers who came out of the martial arts hall, they have always been at the forefront of the Han Dynasty in terms of political literacy.
Although he knew that his elders were right, Hu Fen muttered unconvincingly: "But the child has made the most military achievements."
People who come from martial arts schools pay attention to getting fame immediately, value ability and talent, and admire self-reliance and self-reliance.
It is shameful to hold a high position without talent, to receive generous salary without merit!
"Everyone wants to make military exploits, but how can it be that everyone has the opportunity to make military exploits?!"
Hu Zun's tone became a little harsh:
"I know that you are determined to fight in the battlefield, and you don't want to get too involved in the affairs of the clan. I have said so much, and I don't mean to tell you that you have to think about the clan."
"But I want to tell you that you can get the opportunity in front of you because your surname is Hu and you come from the Anding Hu family!"
The Han Dynasty has been vigorously promoting the New Deal in recent years, and it is not to beat all the wealthy families to death with a stick.
Otherwise, the aristocratic families in Shu would not be able to turn around again, and the wealthy families in Liangzhou would not be able to live such a prosperous life.
Similarly, during the period when the Han Dynasty was digesting the Guanzhong and merging the states and implementing the New Deal, if any family could use the heart of a strong man to resolve the situation and abandon the old gains and embrace the New Deal, they would naturally have great hope in the near future.
Anding Hu's family happens to be one of them.
Although it was semi-forced to get to this point.
But the process is not important.
The important thing is that the Han Dynasty implemented the New Deal in Guanzhong and made a lot of efforts to stabilize the Hu family.
At the same time, the Anding Hu family can be regarded as a model established by the Han Dynasty.
Just like Zhang Jiu, the leader of the Wuqian Army, he represents the Zhang family of Dunhuang, Liangzhou.
"Although our Hu family has established a foothold in the Han Dynasty, our foundation is not stable."
"The Central Protector values you. Although you have performed well in this battle, you must also admit that because you are from the Anding Hu family, you also take advantage."
"As a father, I don't ask how much protection you can bring to the Hu family in the future, but at least you must not be a drag on our Hu family."
Hu Zun stared at Hu Fen closely:
"Especially at this time, if you make a mistake at Tianjingguan, our efforts over the years to stabilize the Hu family may be ruined."
Hearing what his master wanted to say, Hu Fen breathed a sigh of relief:
"My lord, I already understand what you mean. Please rest assured, lord, I will be careful and guard the Tianjing Pass for the big man, and I will never make the same mistake as Wei Wenchang."
When Hu Zun heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and finally nodded:
"You can think so, I am very happy as a father." Ji.
If I could add the sentence "not bring shame to the family", I would be even happier as a father.
It's just that the son in front of him doesn't seem to understand his master's mood at all.
Instead, he coughed and said intentionally or unintentionally:
To be continued...
